After the meeting, Yuan Shao was about to order Xu Ji's army to be welcomed into the joint camp, but Xu Ji smiled and politely refused him, but turned his head and ordered Chen to set up another battalion, which was far away from Yuan Shao's allied joint camp, with a clear posture. This posture and style clearly show an arrogant appearance that obviously does not take Yuan Shao in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao naturally hated it in his heart, but at the moment, he had no choice but to think about how to use Xu Ji's mother's affairs to give Xu Ji a disadvantage when the banquet was held.

Not long after Xu Jicai set up the camp, he ordered someone to invite Zhang Ji to come over the camp for a while, and Chen Zhi, who was on the side, frowned, as if he had something to say, but finally held back. Not long after, someone outside announced: "Zhang Ji has arrived."

Xu Ji hurriedly invited Zhang Ji into the camp, and after the two sides sat down, Zhang Ji smiled and said, "The lord is looking for me so blatantly, aren't you afraid that Yuan Shao will be suspicious?" ”

Xu Ji was obviously very satisfied with Zhang Ji calling him his lord, and when he heard this, he smiled and asked, "Since Zhang Ji, you have such concerns, why do you still want to go to the camp?" ”

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Guyin's subordinates have absolute confidence in the lord, and the lord must have a way to make his subordinates justify themselves in front of the original, otherwise how could the lord rashly call his subordinates over?" Xu Ji laughed when he heard this, looking happy. This is the first time Xu Ji has found that Zhang Ji is very smart, not the old fool he imagined, but I don't know why he would ignore the matter between his wife Zou and his nephew Zhang Xiu, but this is a family matter, Xu Ji will not ask, peeping into other people's secrets at will will lead to death, Xu Ji understands this truth very well, not to mention if Xu Ji wants to know. Is there anything he can't investigate?

Thinking of this, Xu Ji smiled at Zhang Ji and said, "Zhang Ji, you are really the one who knows me." I'll tell you how to deal with it, and you go back and deal with Yuan Shao as I say. There was a pause. Xu Ji smiled; "When you go back, you just need to say when Yuan Shao asks. I came to you to find your cooperation. I hope you can attack the army of Jingzhou in the private peasant county with my Yu Ban army in Yanzhou, and you angrily refused. Zhang Ji was stunned for a moment, and then admired: "The lord is really powerful, he even thought of such a reasonable reason." ”

You must know that the Jingzhou Army, the Yanzhou Army, and the Chang'an Army have divided the entire Sizhou, and in the eyes of outsiders, the situation here is complicated. As everyone knows, Li Yan and Zhang Ji are both from the Yanzhou Army, and the Yanzhou Army is just making a show here for the world to see. Of course, this also includes Yuan Shao. Anyway, in the eyes of the world. Now Zhang Jijun is the neutral side, while the Yanzhou army and the Jingzhou army are now fighting evenly in Hongnong County, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from defeat. Jingzhou's new generation of war god Li Yan is both civil and military. "Hold on" to the Yanzhou army, and it is difficult for the Yanzhou army to win in a hurry. If you can get the support of Zhang Ji's army, then the hope is much greater.

Therefore, now that Xu Ji told Zhang Ji that the reason for dealing with Yuan Shaodi is very reasonable, it is no wonder that Zhang Ji is wonderful.

Xu Ji smiled and said, "General Zhang Ji, I know that you have some friendship with Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, so it is really reasonable for you to say to Yuan Shao that you rejected my proposal." Zhang Ji's body shook. said to Xu Ji: "It turns out that the lord knows about this!" ”

Xu Ji said casually: "This is not a secret, what is there to be strange about?" General Zhang Ji, you don't have to panic, who doesn't have a few special friends? Thinking about me and Cao Mengde, it is inevitable that we will have to divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield in the future. But everybody gets together. is still a good friend who can drink and talk, as long as everyone is above board. It would be nice to have a clear distinction between public and private. Zhang Ji was relieved at this time, but Chen Zhi, who had been silent on the side, frowned at Xu Ji and said, "Lord." Yuan Benchu has no problem, but can we hide it from Sun Ce? I think that Zhou Yu is quite difficult to deal with. When the lord praised Sun Ce today, Zhou Yu looked at the lord in a very wrong way. If Zhou Yu guessed the relationship between the lord and General Zhang Ji. I don't know what will happen. I am most afraid that Wang Yun will know, then all our arrangements in Chang'an City will be in vain. Chen Zhi's words made Zhang Ji's face change slightly, and he was even more worried about his nephew. Xu Ji smiled and said: "Uncle Zhi also noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Yu, you have been worrying about this matter because you have not spoken, don't worry, Zhou Yu will definitely not suspect General Zhang Ji," After speaking, he turned his head to Zhang Ji and said: "General Zhang Ji, after you go back, tell Kuai Yue about this lie, and then get closer to Kuai Yue." ”

Chen Zhi frowned and said, "What's the use of this?" After all, Zhou Yu didn't know this lie, so he couldn't deceive him. Xu Ji said confidently: "Uncle Zhi, don't worry, Yuan Shao will definitely tell Sun Ce this lie, but don't forget that I made Yuan Shao so faceless today, Yuan Shao will definitely tell Sun Ce, after all, only our Yanzhou army is fighting for Jingzhou with Sun Ce, and Yuan Shao will definitely deliberately provoke the land." Coupled with Sun Ji and Mengyue's overly close behavior, how could Zhou Yu not believe it? Chen Zhi nodded, and Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Zhou Yu is indeed a wise man, but manpower is sometimes exhausted, no matter how capable he is, Zhou Yu doesn't know much about things in Chang'an, and he can't imagine that General Zhang Ji will be our person when he is killed, not to mention that Wang Yun has always regarded General Zhang Ji as a confidant, and with Jia Xu on the side to help, Zhou Yu can still turn over the sky?" Hmph, this Zhou Yu is just worried about my actions now, where is the spare energy to think about other things? General Zhang Ji is writing to tell Wang Yun about this rumor I said, so it will be foolproof. ”

Zhang Ji said sincerely: "The lord has no last resort, and his subordinates admire it." Xu Ji shook his head and said, "How can I have such a great ability?" This is just an opportunistic act, in fact, Wen He had expected this day a long time ago, and I was just following the steps. ”

Zhang Ji was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this matter had to do with Jia Xu, Xu Ji smiled and said: "If Jia Xu didn't expect today's form, why was he ordered to conquer Yizhou, and didn't let the general go out with the army, but sent the general to Sizhou, if there was no advance plan, then the person who came to participate in the princes' alliance now would not be General Zhang Ji." Zhang Ji and Chen Zhi's eyes flashed with horror at the same time, especially Chen Zhi. Although he had known Jia Xu's power for a long time, he didn't expect it to be terrifying to such an extent. As early as more than a month ago, I had already weighed the pros and cons of the whole thing, and even expected that there would be a day when the princes would meet together. Zhang Ji thought even more in his heart, the matter of the princes' alliance was originally proposed by Jia Xu. That is to say. Although Jia Xu is in Chang'an, he has already played with the princes of the world! Thinking of this, Zhang Ji couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, even with his familiarity with Jia Xu, he was still shocked by Jia Xu's ghostly ability.

And Xu Ji's eyes also flashed with a fine light, and he also admired Jia Xu in his heart. said to Zhang Ji in a deep voice: "That's why I blatantly called you here, just because Wenhe has already designed everything for me, you just need to do it according to my plan." ”

Zhang Ji nodded and said excitedly: "My lord, please command." ”

Xu Ji said coldly: "Zhang Ji, as long as you are by Yuan Shao's side, because it will not be long before I can completely solve Yuan Shao's trouble." There was a pause. Xu Ji said again: "Although there are many troops in Yuzhou now, in the end it is still the world of my Yanzhou army. Once Yuan Shu is defeated, Cao Cao's army, Sun Ce's army, and Liu Biao's army will all retreat. At that time, there was only Yuan Shao's army in Yuzhou, and the nominal Chang'an army, and then the army of Zang Ba, who was suppressing bandits in Yuzhou, and Zhang Yanjun, who had been wandering in Hongze Lake, in addition, Gao Shun's army could also instantly break through the Lei Bo army that was stubbornly resisting in the corner of the Yang, and directly attack Yuan Shao's army from the rear, so it can be counted. Our army has invested no less than 100,000 troops in Yuzhou, do you think Yuan Shao will be our opponent when he arrives? Zhang Ji laughed when he heard this, and at the same time finally understood what his mission was on this trip to the Princes' Alliance. It's not as simple as pretending.

Xu Ji said coldly: "At that time, I want Yuan Shao to be enemies on all sides." It is difficult to move an inch in Yuzhou. And with such a strange soldier as you by his side, he will definitely die without a place to be buried, hum! ”

Zhang Ji remembered something. said to Xu Ji: "By the way, my lord, I found that Kuai Yue and Sun Ce are very close. It's not as tense as we think. Xu Ji and Chen Zhi glanced at each other and understood in their hearts. It seems that with the development of the entire battle situation, the Jingzhou family gradually began to be dissatisfied with Liu Biao, a child of the royal family. Whether it is the Yanzhou Army or Sun Cejun, it is not something that Liu Biao can deal with. Therefore, the family in Jingzhou has begun to prepare to find a new spokesperson, and the purpose of this Kuai Yue coming here is the same as that Zhang Song. It seems that the struggle for power is everywhere, and it is not as simple as deciding the winner on the battlefield. Now Jingzhou is indeed in crisis, even Yizhou is not comparable, for the Jingzhou family, once Liu Biao is abandoned, they only have two choices, one is to serve Yanzhou, and the other is to defect to Sun Ce. However, because of the Yanzhou policy, the clans of Jingzhou will definitely not surrender Yanzhou, because it is tantamount to giving up their various economic and political positions, and no one will easily give up after getting benefits. And Sun Ce is different, according to the intelligence, Sun Ce is now in Jingzhou to the people and the family, the autumn has not committed any crimes, courtesy, and even proposed to only find Liu Biao to take revenge, the rest of the past is not to blame, plus Sun Cejun's courage and good fighting, it can be said that now in Jingzhou, Sun Cejun is very influential, in this case, it is not impossible for the local forces in Jingzhou represented by the Jingzhou family to surrender to Sun Ce.

What's more, judging from the current battle record, Jingzhou is more afraid of Sun Cejun, after all, Li Yan of Jingzhou is now "resisting" the Yu Ban army, but Sun Ce's army is unstoppable, that is to say, the Yanzhou army is not invincible, and Sun Ce, as a southerner, is a greater threat to Jingzhou, in this case, these families will of course understand what to do. Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly, where did he think that his pretended disappearance would cause great changes in the world, and the development of things to this day was really unexpected by Xu Ji, it can be said that the situation in the world in front of him is completely different from the three kingdoms that he is familiar with. However, Xu Ji will never regret it, and it can even be said that he is very satisfied with the situation in front of him, because for Xu Ji, his enemies are not these heroes who have been brilliant in history, but those families who stand behind the heroes, at least now Yanzhou, Sizhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Youzhou All the forces that put them on their own families have all surfaced, and they don't have to defend day and night, and they can take advantage of the opportunity to pacify the north to cut off all the families who do not accept their transformation. This is tantamount to sweeping away the root causes of civil strife. With Xu Ji's current strength, it is not difficult to make the world, and even as long as he interacts with the big families in various places. Deliberately benefiting from it can achieve this goal, but Xu Ji has to choose to support the family. After unifying the world in the future, it is necessary to rely on these families to manage the place. That can't be done.

It is easy to win the world, but it is difficult to rule the world. Xu Ji didn't want to follow the old path of the Western Jin Dynasty. Therefore, although Sun Ce and Cao Cao grew stronger because of their fake disappearance. But it will not make Xu Ji feel annoyed, not to mention that now he does not have so much strength to conquer Jingzhou, and now cutting off these princes one by one is already the limit of Xu Ji's ability.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji smiled: "Wouldn't it be better in this way?" The lie you said to Kuai Yue that I want to cooperate with you is only afraid that Yuan Shao has not passed it on to Sun Ce, and Kuai Yue will pass it on. Zhang Ji nodded, and finally couldn't help asking, "Isn't the lord worried about the affairs of Jingzhou?" Xu Ji smiled: "What's there to be annoyed about?" I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life. Now I don't have the strength to subdue Jingzhou. Why should we be sorry for things we can't do? Now there is Li Yan as a traitor for me in Jingzhou. I'm already satisfied, what more could I ask for? After a pause, he said: "If that's the case, isn't that Zhang Song also here with the same purpose as Kuai Yue?" A cold light flashed in Zhang Ji's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "It turns out that the lord has noticed it!" This Zhang Song is really too abrupt, he has been in close contact with various princes in the past few days, and I have been wondering what this Zhang Song is going to do, but today I was reminded by the lord, only to know that it would be to find the new master of Yizhou. Hmph, how am I going to let him succeed? Otherwise, wouldn't Xiu'er and Wenhe's efforts be in vain? ”

Xu Ji shook his head and said, "The question is that there are people here that he values?" You can rest assured. This time, Zhang Song returned empty-handed. ”

Zhang Ji was silent for a while. Haha smiled and said: "The lord's words are reasonable, Yuan Shao is based in Yuzhou, and Cao Cao is in Jiangdong." Sun Ce was busy in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao was too busy to take care of himself. My Zhang Ji's nephew is attacking Yizhou again, and Yanzhou has never taken the family seriously, how can there be anyone Zhang Song is looking for? ”

Xu Ji stood up. said to Zhang Ji: "We don't care about these things, Zhang Ji, you are going to give Yuan Shao a big gift first." Ben Chu Gong has also worked hard for so long. It's time to take a break. Chen Zhi and Zhang Ji are both open-minded and eager to arrive at that day earlier. Xu Ji looked at Zhang Ji and pretended to be serious: "General Zhang Ji, should you leave my camp angrily now?" And what about today's dinner party? Zhang Ji was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and then left Xu Jidi's big tent with a strong face.

Before Zhang Ji left, he saw a soldier enter the big tent, lay on the ground and reported: "My lord, Cao Ren's army has come to Gepo, according to the information that came, Cao Ren really went to attack Zhang Yan's army in Hongze Lake, but he returned with a loss of troops. Xu Ji and Chen Zhi wanted to look at it and laughed: this Cao Ren really did it.

Xu Ji waved his hand to order the soldier to retreat, and at the same time looked out of the big tent, Cao Cao's face appeared in front of him, and he thought: "Cao Mengde, if you want to come, come here, try to see if I, Xu Ji, have a trace of fear?"

At night, Yuan Shao's camp, the big tent of the Chinese army, thundered on all sides, and the soldiers were sitting next to the bonfire and were having dinner. Xu Ji and Chen Zhi came to Yuan Shao's big tent of the Chinese army in military uniforms, and as soon as they entered the big tent, they saw a group of princes and representatives sitting there pushing cups and changing lamps. Seeing Xu Ji come in, the air in the big tent was suffocated at first, and everyone stopped talking.

Compared with the lineup in the afternoon, there was one more Cao Ren who attended the banquet in the evening.

Seeing Xu Ji, this Cao Ren's face became unnatural, Xu Ji first admired Cao Rendi's expression, and then said leisurely: "It turns out that General Cao Ren is also here." Cao Ren's eyes were a little flustered, and he reluctantly said hello to Xu Ji, while several people behind Cao Ren looked at Xu Ji with grief and hatred in their eyes, Xu Ji would take it to heart? It's just funny in my heart, it seems that Zhang Yan and Gan Ning led Cao Ren to suffer a big loss in Hongze Lake, and they will definitely ask in detail in the future.

Yuan Shao beckoned Xu Ji to sit down, but saw that it was Zhang Ji opposite him, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu at the top of Zhang Ji, Kuai Yue at the bottom, and Zhang Song at the bottom.

I don't know if it's intentional, Cao Ren and Xu Ji turned out to be at the next table, and Zhang Ying was at the bottom.

I saw Zhang Ji on the other side with a gloomy face, and when he saw Xu Ji sitting down, he snorted coldly, so he didn't look at Xu Ji, and only talked to Kuai Yue.

Zhou Yu looked at Xu Ji thoughtfully, and Sun Ce also lost his kindness in the afternoon when he looked at Xu Ji, obviously Zhou Yu analyzed his intentions to him, which made his impression of Xu Ji change greatly.

Zhang Song originally looked down on Xu Ji, who was born in a poor family, so he didn't even look at Xu Ji from the corner of his eyes, and only cared about talking to those literati. Only Zhang Ying and Xu Ji spoke cordially, but because there was a Cao Ren in the middle, it was too troublesome, so it was just a matter of saying a few words.

In fact, Xu Ji was left out in the cold.

Where would Xu Ji put these things in his heart, in fact, tonight, he came to stir up the situation.

What is Yuan Shao? He wants to let these people in front of him see who is the overlord of the world! (To be continued......)
