Gao Shun was stunned for a moment and said, "What the lord said is not unreasonable. However, I see that Dong Zhuo has countless capable people around him, Wu has Lu Bu, Wen has Li Ru, one is a righteous son, the other is a son-in-law, with these two people, it seems that there is little hope for others to do it. ”

Xu Ji sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, it was Lu Bu's body that went wrong, but no one believed it when he said it now, who knew that Lu Bu was a natural pervert?

Gao Shun thought about it carefully, and then said: "The most beneficial thing for the lord now is that the lord has been preaching that it is legitimate to recognize the current emperor, so that the lord has found a substantial excuse to send troops to Chang'an." ”

Xu Ji had to admit that Gao Shun's words were very reasonable, and they were more reasonable than the plan he had set in his heart when the princes met the alliance, but this is not to say that he is not as good as Gao Shun, but that the situation is developing too rapidly, even he didn't expect that his army would be so strong that he would lose his armor and beat Yuan Shao in just one year, and there was almost no day to turn over? Today, as Gao Shun said, he is so powerful that no one dares to provoke him, so that he can't find an excuse to send troops to attack others. Presumably Guo Jia will agree with this idea now, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Ji was full of pride in his chest, and said: "I understand what Zihe means, so we will send troops to Chang'an!" After a pause, Xu Ji said with a smile: "There is another advantage to doing this, that is, to give outsiders the illusion that our troops are scattered, coupled with the rumors that I and Feng Xiao are not in agreement with the outside world, if Yuan Shao sees this situation, it is strange if he is not moved, as long as Yuan Shao is moved, we have a reason to start a war with Yuan Shu, who let Yuan Shao be his brother?" ”

Gao Shun couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "The lord's words are reasonable. After a pause, he said, "But the lord is right about one thing. Are our forces too scattered? Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou all have our troops. The lord also said earlier that he wanted to plot against Qingzhou, which is for us. Isn't it too stressful? ”

Xu Ji smiled mysteriously and said: "Zihe doesn't have to take it to heart, if he sends troops to Chang'an." I have my own way. Of course, what Xu Ji was referring to in his heart was the Phantom Elite who would gather five thousand. It is impossible to say that these 5,000 Phantom elites can defeat an army of hundreds of thousands of people, but as Xu Ji said, as long as he is in Chang'an, he will not have the opportunity to welcome back Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Of course, it's useless to say it now, because Gao Shun can't know what will happen in Chang'an.

Of course, Gao Shun couldn't figure out where Xu Ji still had extra troops, thinking that Xu Ji still had a hidden hand, so he didn't say more. He said to Xu Ji again: "If the lord welcomes back the emperor, peace in the world will not be far away." ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Ji shook his head and said: "Zi and you are wrong, in fact, after the emperor arrives." Trouble is no small either, and our biggest enemy is the strength of the 'Imperial Family'. ”

Gao Shun felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, and looked at Xu Ji, Xu Ji pondered: "Zihe might as well think about it, if there is no self Xu Ji, what is the world like now?" And don't forget that I'm also a member of the 'royal family'. ”

Looking at Gao Shun, Xu Ji smiled and said, "Leave aside Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others." Liu Yu, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, Liu Xuan, and Liu Biao, they occupied the five major prefectures of Youzhou, Yizhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou. There are still countless children surnamed Liu who are officials in local states and counties, do you say that the strength of the royal family is great? ”

Gao Shun was dumbfounded when he heard this, he obviously didn't expect the problem of the royal family to be so serious.

Xu Ji snorted coldly: "They don't even need to 'coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes'. They can 'use the name of the Son of Heaven to order the princes', and once I succeed in welcoming back the emperor, no matter how hard I have or my status as a colt. They only have to say that I am a kidnapper of the emperor, and I will become a traitor through the ages. ”

Gao Shun couldn't help but let out an "ah". looked at Xu Ji blankly, speechless.

Gao Shun looked at Xu Ji speechless. He didn't expect Xu Ji's vision to be so long-term, and he directly saw the final consequences of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Xu Ji's words were definitely not just feelings, he and Guo Jia had discussed this matter more than once, and even simulated the various troubles and results that would be brought about by doing so.

Gao Shun looked at Xu Ji, who was silent, and couldn't help but say, "So in the heart of the lord, who is the biggest threat among the royal clansmen?" ”

Xu Ji asked in a tone of examination, "What does Zihe think?" ”

Gao Shun pondered: "Liu Yu is definitely not good, this person can only be a capable minister who can still be a term if he is born to rule the world, but he does not have the ability to sweep away the troubled times, otherwise he will not have a headache for Gongsun Zan now." After a pause, he said: "Liu Dai and Liu Miao are not people who have achieved great things, and the facts have proved Liu Dai's incompetence, as for Liu Dai, although he is slightly stronger than Liu Dai, but it is also limited, by the way, I think the new Jingzhou Assassin Liu Biao is extraordinary, and he can calculate the death of Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian." What a surprise! ”

When Xu Ji heard Sun Jian's name, a sad look flashed in his eyes, after all, this is also half of his brother, and his many admonitions still haven't made Sun Jian get rid of his problems. Putting away his grief, Xu Ji smiled at Gao Shun and said: "Liu Biao does have some ability, he single-handedly restored peace to Jingzhou, and the family is willing to serve it, and he does have a set of outstanding skills." However, this person's talent is only within this state, and he has no ability to expand outward. And the issue of heirs in the future is also a headache for Liu Biao. After all, Liu Biao's age is not young. ”

Gao Shun said suddenly: "Is the lord saying that Liu Biao married the daughter of the Cai family in Jingzhou as his wife?" Ha, this is a problem, it stands to reason that the eldest son must inherit the family business, but Liu Biao's eldest son does not have the slightest power, how can he convince the public? And Liu Xian is trying to win the support of the family and take the daughter of the Cai family as his wife, even if he gives birth to a son, Liu Biao can't see this son grow up, even if a young son becomes the assassin of Jingzhou, is he not at the mercy of others? It seems that Liu Biao is really difficult to hold for a long time. ”

Xu Ji snorted and said: "It is not only Liu Biao who has vision, I think Liu Yan is also a generation of heroes in Yizhou, but this person is too superstitious, and he actually believes in the nonsense that the liar Xiangkai said, 'Yizhou has the spirit of the son of heaven', and it is not appropriate to put a good history of Youzhou Thorn, so I have to go to Yizhou." If Liu Yan is in Youzhou, maybe our biggest enemy now is him. However, Liu Yan is old. I don't see anything to do about his son. It is also an embroidered pillow. ”

Gao Shun thought about it, and couldn't help but say: "So from the perspective of the lord, who is our biggest enemy among the royal family?" ”

Xu Ji exhaled lightly and said, "Of course it's Liu Bei and Liu Xuande!" Looking at Gao Shun's stunned appearance, Xu Ji smiled: "No wonder Zihe has such a reaction, after all, Zihe has never seen Liu Bei, and I don't know how powerful this person is. It's the talent of a hero. The vision and mind are not comparable to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. If you talk about seniority, he is the uncle of the current emperor. It's not too much to call Uncle Liu Huang. ”

Gao Shun's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "I only heard that he is a don't drive in Youzhou, but I didn't expect the lord to speak so highly of him." ”

Xu Ji smiled and said in his heart: This Liu Bei is helpless even to Cao Cao in history, and he has brought constant troubles to Cao Cao, first with the title of Uncle Liu, and then with the title of 'Cloth and Belt Edict'. Later, he also became Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty in the name of the royal family, and directly characterized Cao Cao as a Han thief. Declare yourself to be orthodox. Maybe in the future, all these troubles that Cao Cao found in history will be inflicted on himself, right? Do you want to see if you are looking for an opportunity to kill Liu Bei, and you will be gone? Let's see if there's a chance.

Xu Ji knew that this matter was in a hurry, so he said to Gao Shun: "Liu Bei's matter will be thought about in the future, I originally had other arrangements to get you back, but I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise." It's really a son and a person. It's better than a million heroes. Hearing this, Gao Shun hurriedly humbled himself and said: "The lord praises falsely, Zihe just hopes that the lord can return the world to peace as soon as possible." ”

Xu Ji smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, you will go back to Chen tomorrow." Bonghyo still needs you. Gao Shun's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Seriously, I can't wait." I haven't had the opportunity to work with the military advisor, but now I finally got what I wanted. ”

Xu Ji waited to speak. But seeing Liang Xi running in a hurry, with joy on his face, he saw Xu Jiyuan and shouted, "Lord, Han Fu is dead." ”

Xu Ji and Gao Shun were refreshed when they heard this, but they saw that Liang Xi didn't pay attention to being scratched by the snow under his feet and fell to the ground. Xu Jideng was taken aback and hurriedly ran over, followed by Gao Shun.

After Xu Ji ran over, he helped Liang Xi up, personally dusted off the snow on Liang Xi's body, and saw that Liang Xi was okay before reproaching: "Why is Ziyu careless?" If you are accidentally injured, who will take care of the affairs of Jizhou, the eldest husband can be injured, but the injury is valuable, Han Fu is just a dead man, you are just here to inform him of his death, if you are injured because of this little thing, it will be worth the loss. ”

Although Xu Ji's words were reproaches, they were full of concern in the matter, which moved Liang Xi very much.

Looking at Liang Xi's excited look, Xu Ji had a little headache, he was just a little concerned about it, did he need this? So he hurriedly smiled: "Let me guess who sent the news of Han Fu's death, right?" It can't be sent by Zhang Miao, right? ”

Liang Xi's eyes flashed with horror, and he couldn't help but say, "How did the lord know the Dao?" Gao Shun, who was on the side, also showed a look of disbelief, not understanding why Xu Ji guessed.

Xu Ji smiled: "It can't be Han Fu who died in the toilet, right?" If this is the case, then the murder weapon must be the knife that he carried with him. Death there is also a well-deserved death. ”

Liang Xi looked at Xu Ji in a daze and couldn't speak anymore, Gao Shun knew that Xu Ji had guessed correctly again when he saw Liang Xi's expression, and he couldn't understand why Xu Ji guessed this kind of thing at all. After a long time, Liang Xi relieved himself, patted his chest and said, "Yes, the lord must have gotten the news from the shadow first, otherwise how could he be good at all?" ”

When Gao Shun heard this, he "suddenly realized". Xu Ji didn't argue, this was originally the best explanation.

Liang Xi turned his head to Gao Shun and said: "Zihe, the lord is too capable of scaring people, fortunately, I am not a suspicious coward like Han Fu, otherwise I would not be scared to death by the lord." Looking at Gao Shun with an inquiring face, Liang Xi said: "This Han Fu and his nephew ran to Zhang Miao to seek refuge, but just in time for the Yi nationality to send someone to Zhang Miao to do business, Han Fu thought he was here to arrest him, so he committed suicide by cutting his neck with a knife in the toilet." ”

Gao Shun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and sighed that Han Fu was timid and afraid, but Xu Ji remembered another person and asked, "What about his nephew Han Meng?" ”

Liang Xi said: "Listening to Zhang Miao, this Han Meng went to Yuzhou single-handedly to vote for Yuan Shao. Xu Ji and Gao Shun looked at each other and smiled, and the former said, "Good vote." Gao Shun nodded and smiled.

looked at Liang Xi with a stunned face. Xu Ji stretched his waist and said, "The warm flowers will bloom at the beginning of next year." It was when I personally entered Chang'an. ”

A.D. 193, Spring. Xu Ji was a prince who dominated one side. Launched a movement to enter Chang'an to worship the Son of Heaven. This movement was supported by many princes, including Liu Yu, Cao Cao, Liu Xuan, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, and others, who sent envoys to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven. Of course, it is impossible to say how many soldiers everyone will bring to meet the Son of Heaven.

When this news reached Dong Zhuo's ears, of course, it aroused the favor of this traitor, because it marked that the princes of the world had recognized the status of Emperor Han Xian, which was of course of great benefit to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo even sent a letter to Xu Ji, expressing his welcome to Xu Ji to Chang'an. For Dong Zhuo. Xu Ji's current attitude can influence the attitude of the princes of the world.

However, Xu Ji would not blatantly go to Chang'an, although Dong Zhuo did not dare to hurt himself, because that would cause his side to take revenge at all costs, and to this day, everyone knows that the army under his command has few opponents. Even the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry or the Xiliang Soldiers are difficult to compete with. But Xu Ji didn't want to be under house arrest like those old ministers.

Since last year, Xu Ji has been wondering, I don't know what happened in Chang'an, because Shi A and others haven't written to him for a long time, and they have a lot of wars in the Central Plains. I was also busy with the issue of restructuring, so I forgot about Chang'an, and occasionally remembered it in a flash.

Since Gao Shun raised troops to leave Chang'an, Xu Ji also sent people to Chang'an. Shi A and the others were fine, and the Hero Building was also spread well, but the reply they received was "The situation is extremely complicated." It's hard to say in a few words", and after learning the news that Xu Ji was coming to Chang'an. sent a letter to Xu Ji saying that everything would be said in Chang'an, which made Xu Ji confused.

However, the people who came back from Chang'an said that the situation of Shi A and others was very bad now. Although Dong Zhuo treated them politely because of his teacher Wang Yue, he was extremely strict in his care, at least he himself was under house arrest, and anyone who entered and left the Hero Building would be severely interrogated after leaving the Hero Building, so it was normal for him not to bring back letters.

Xu Ji understands that due to his rise, Dong Zhuo's precautions are stricter, according to the historical process of Xu Ji's Zhidao Dao, Dong Zhuo should have been killed by Lu Bu in April last year, but now that Dong Zhuo is clearly alive and well, it seems that things in Chang'an are far more tricky than he imagined.

With this complicated mentality, Xu Ji took the elite of five thousand shadows on the road.

The army of this number should be within the range of Dong Zhuo's acceptance, and the mere 5,000 men and horses should not make Dong Zhuo feel afraid, if he follows Gao Shun's suggestion, then of course he will take these 100,000 male soldiers directly to Chang'an, kill Dong Zhuo, and directly rescue Emperor Han Xian. However, Xu Ji had other plans, his idea was to disturb Chang'an, and it was best to reproduce the beauty trick and kill Dong Zhuo.

Two years ago, in order to dominate the Central Plains, Xu Ji sent Shi A to prevent Dong Zhuo's premature death from affecting his own plans, and now in order to obtain the emperor's order, he is desperately trying to disturb the situation in Chang'an, which is really lamentable. Maybe in the eyes of others, his army is not enough to control the situation in Chang'an, but Xu Ji knows that once something happens in Chang'an, these 5,000 people can help him achieve any goal. Xu Ji only hoped that he would be able to welcome back Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and complete the feat of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes in Cao Cao's history.

Xu Ji went to Chang'an under a pseudonym, using the identity of Lejin, after all, there are very few people who know Lejin. And Lejin itself is about the same height as himself, so it is most appropriate to imitate Lejin by himself. Even if the enemy investigates his identity, he will not find any flaws. What's more, there is such a clever makeup technique as the Phantom Elite. Of course, Dian Wei also accompanied him on this trip, he hadn't made any big war for more than a year, and he was already dissatisfied, and he also strongly asked Xu Jicai to take him with him on this trip.

On the surface, Xu Ji is the head of the Yanzhou envoy group, and Chen Zhi is the general who is responsible for the 5,000 people in the army, accompanied by Wen Ping and Yu Ban, which can be described as a very ideal combination. Naturally, Lejin has not much ability to lead troops, but although his skills have improved over the years, he is not a first-class general, and it is better to stay in Yanzhou.

As for the elite army of the Shadow that he carried, he was naturally fully armed. They also have some advanced gadgets that they have made on their own. Since it is said that he is going to meet the emperor, of course, he must prepare sufficient gifts, and of course he must bring some Yanzhou specialties and handicrafts on the surface, but of course there is something else in these carriages that pull things. Many of the advanced weapons included light and heavy crossbows, which had been reworked by Chen Liu's master - after a year of production, there were more than 2,000 of them, and the technique was also being improved, mainly in terms of range and accuracy.

Of course, the news that Xu Ji made up and went to Chang'an should also be revealed to his "old friend" Yuan Shao Zhilu Dao, but Xu Ji knew that it was not the right time to do it, that should be revealed to Yuan Shao after he was sure that he would get Emperor Han Xian from Chang'an, although he hoped that Yuan Shao would be fooled, but if he revealed the news to Yuan Shao now, with Guo Tu, a scheming person, on the side, he would definitely come up with a trick of borrowing a knife to kill people, as long as he sent someone to Dong Zhuo in advance, and told the traitor that the person sent by Yanzhou was not Lejin, It's Xu Ji's own words, even if Dong Zhuo didn't want to do anything to himself, but because of his "sneaky", I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo will take action against him immediately.

If he made Yuan Shao know about this matter after welcoming back Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao must have thought that Sanzhou had no owner, and coupled with the "Guo Jia problem", he was afraid that he would act immediately, so that he would eliminate Yuan Shao, attack Yuan Shu, and occupy Yuzhou.

Therefore, his current whereabouts and Gao Shun's whereabouts are two major secrets. No one knew that the real Gao Shun had returned to Chenliu. No one will know that the real Xu Ji is already on the way to Chang'an, and the Xu Ji in Jizhou is just a fake Xibei goods.

When everything was ready, Xu Ji took his men on a trip to Chang'an, where the future was uncertain. (To be continued......)
