The relationship between Xu Ji and Sun Jian is purely the love of the robe that has been fought between the battle formations. Sun Jian learned that Xu Ji was released as an official, and he was happy for him and a little sorry at the same time, after all, they couldn't work together. But despite the complicated emotions, seeing off as a friend is still required. And Xu Ji naturally couldn't push it back.

Of course, this will not delay Xu Ji too much, but because he is afraid of complications, Sun Jian's farewell is very simple under Xu Ji's request, and only Sun Jian, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu are present. Of course, Xu Ji only brought Chen Zhi and Gao Shun, but Xu Ji actually wanted to bring Bocai, but at this time, Bocai was still not suitable for this kind of occasion. Of course, Xu Ji still has a bit of a bad taste, and he is disgusted with Sun Jian with Gao Shun.

On the way back to Luoyang, Sun Jian complained several times about Xu Ji's behavior of subduing Gao Shun before him, which obviously made Sun Jian extremely dissatisfied. After all, Sun Jian has personally experienced that Gao Shun is not only powerful in personal force, but also in the hundreds of soldiers he trained single-handedly, and now they all fell into Xu Jiyan, how can Sun Jian deal with it calmly? Of course, Sun Jian was also very happy for Xu Ji while complaining, after all, Xu Ji's position of Chen Liu's post supervisor can be regarded as a formal career, and Xu Ji has a general like Gao Shun by his side to ensure that he will not be bullied at a young age. Sun Jian even ridiculed Xu Ji's career from a very high starting point, and Sun Jian himself hoped to be released to govern one side, but apparently Zhu Jun still regarded him as a military attache and stayed in the army.

As for Sun Jian, Xu Ji's psychology is also extremely complicated. Sun Jian is a hero, Xu Ji does not deny this, but Sun Jian himself may not realize that in troubled times, heroes are always the ones who are sacrificed. And the reason why heroes are praised is nothing more than because they don't have a happy ending. But Xu Ji knew exactly that it was the path that Sun Jian had chosen, and he would not and could not stop it. Because Sun Jian and Xu Ji are the same type of people to some extent, once they choose the road, they will go to the end on the same road, and they will go on firmly no matter what. There are good and bad things in this, and Xu Ji doesn't think Sun Jian can understand where the path he is taking leads.

And after the six people drank wine, Xu Ji also immediately set off for Chenliu, Xu Ji was unwilling to stay in Luoyang for half a moment.

Let's talk about Yingyin at this time, the governance of Yingchuan. Guo Jia felt a little like a tiger after getting the hundreds of old soldiers brought back by Xu Qian, and the arrival of hundreds of old subordinates of Bocai gave Guo Jia more room to show. A battle of 800 people is almost all private soldiers for a small family, and Xu Ji quietly gathered so many soldiers in a few months, and under the way of fighting and raising the war, not only has enough food and grass, but also has amazing combat effectiveness. And what Xu Ji got was not a recruit with no battlefield experience, but an elite who survived the sharpening of swords on the battlefield, and a ruthless character who had seen blood killing. Guo Jia is confident that with these more than 800 people, he can almost crush the entire small and medium-sized family of Yingyin, even in the face of the Xun family, Guo Jia does not think that there is no strength to fight. It can be said that Guo Jia is the most proud time at this time, but Guo Jia knows how big Xu Ji's game of chess is, and this is not the time to attack, so although he still does not move on the surface, Guo Jia began to let the dark chess step by step to the position he needs, and the first thing is to obtain the actual control of Yingyin in Yingchuanzhi, and this is not difficult. Although the turmoil of the Yellow Turban has not yet caused any practical huge impact on Yingyin, Wen Taishou is still very afraid of death and has recruited a lot of soldiers to defend the city, so in fact, Yingyin's garrison has been expanded a lot, and most of the new garrisons are soldiers under Xu Ji, that is, with just one order, Xu Ji can easily control Yingyin's garrison, and can even directly threaten Taishoufu, which is Xu Ji's most rear-hand.

Plotting to seize Yingchuan is actually not as simple as imagined, there are many wealthy families here, Xu Ji knows that his living space is very narrow, but Xu Ji still needs a rear that can provide a good development environment, even if Yingchuan can not be occupied by himself for a long time, but as a rear for a period of time, it is still no problem, and even said that if it is only temporarily as his own rear, there is no place better than Yingchuan.

Xu Ji's real purpose is actually to absorb the yellow turbans in the counties and counties of Yanzhou for his own use, and after strengthening his strength, he will try to occupy Qingzhou as his real rear, and then plan the world. If this strategy can be successfully realized, then Xu Ji will have a stable rear and a strong enough force group in just three to five years, which is already a huge layout from scratch.

Xu Ji has begun to look at and deal with problems in the way of a superior person, his way of thinking is still a strategist, but he is a superior when making decisions. Xu Ji is still in the most basic stage of primitive accumulation, although he has a lot of talents, but he lacks the most basic stable territory, and now every step Xu Ji takes may make him fall into the abyss.

Whether it is the immediate conspiracy to seize Yingchuan or the Yanzhou strategy later, these will bring him huge benefits and equally huge risks. In particular, Xu Ji's plan to embezzle Qingzhou, which is almost a blatant contempt for the decrees and dignity of the Han family, is tantamount to blatant secession, and he must be cautious at least until the situation is really disturbed. Xu Ji believed that if his plan went out of the way, it would be a dismal end of disrepute, but neither Guo Jia nor Xun Yu's uncle and nephew could deny the huge benefits of this plan, because now the situation of secession has been initially formed, Han Sui Bianzhang is on his own side in Xiliang, and the court has no good way to deal with them. Xishu is almost isolated from the outside world under the protection of Hanzhong, and Gongsun Chan is also faintly in the northern Xinjiang, although the world has not yet been in turmoil, but it has already revealed the clues of the division of the heroes.

Xu Ji is constantly enhancing his strength, but also needs to wait quietly for the opportunity, only the big fish mixes the water Xu Ji, a small fish, can take the opportunity to swallow the shrimp that is smaller than him, but Qingzhou is not a small fish and shrimp. Xu Ji is making a big gamble this time, and if he succeeds, Xu Ji will be in control, and if he loses Xu Ji, he will be ruined.

Of course, this is also why Guo Jia is cautious, the Yellow Turban Incident planned by the Yingchuan clan forced Emperor Ling to cancel the party system, and how could they, who were eager to regain their power, allow Xu Ji to act like this, which is no less than a tiger's mouth? Guo Jia enjoyed the fun of this game very much, and he and Xu Ji planned to snatch a piece of fat from the hands of the scholars. And in this game of chess, Guo Jia's situation is unexpectedly good, so shouldn't the beast hidden in the shadows also show its sharp fangs? Guo Jia thought so.

Xu Ji's plan has slowly revealed its embryonic form, and the dark chess that was arranged in Yingyin earlier has been placed in a suitable place under Guo Jia's scheduling, and all that is needed now is the right time and sufficient capital. Guo Jia is also waiting for the exact news of Xu Ji, and where Xu Ji will be placed also determines what strategy Guo Jia should adopt next.

Soon Xu Ji came to the news that he would go to Chen Liu to serve as the post supervisor, Guo Jia immediately began to act, although Xu Ji had not yet arrived, but it did not hinder Guo Jia's action, this is also what Xu Ji meant, he hoped that he could start acting quickly when he arrived, so of course he needed to rely on Guo Jia's arrangement. What Guo Jia has to do is very simple, find out the obstacles that will bring trouble to Xu Ji, and Xu Ji will personally solve such trouble.

Besides, at this time, Beizhong Lang's steady step by step battalion of Lu Zhi had already defeated Zhang Jiao several times, and Zhang Jiao was forced to lead his army to retreat to Guangzong. By the time Xu Ji got the news, Lu Zhi had already led his army to surround Guangzong County. Xu Ji is quite optimistic about the current situation, and Lu Zhi will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Jiao in the near future. But Xu Ji soon got the bad news.

Liu Hong sent Xiaohuangmen Zuo Feng to the labor army, what is Zuo Feng's identity? He is the hardcore of the ten permanent servants, and he is very greedy for money, knowing that when he came, someone in Lu Zhi's army advised Lu Zhi to bribe Zuo Feng to avoid trouble, but Lu Zhi's temperament has always been upright, how could he give in? Moreover, Lu Zhi has always been an honest official and has no savings. When Zuo Feng hinted that Lu Zhi was bribing, Lu Zhi replied coldly: "Lu Zhi has been in the army for a long time, and I don't know that there is such a rule. However, the army is still short of food, and An has spare money to flatter the angels? Zuo Feng couldn't ask for money, so he secretly hated Lu Zhi in his heart, and he didn't attack on the spot, but laughed and stopped mentioning the matter, but Zuo Feng immediately falsely accused Liu Hong of being afraid of the enemy after returning to Luoyang. Emperor Ling believed Zuo Feng without seeking verification, so he removed Lu Zhi from his post in a fit of rage, and escorted him back to Luoyang in a prisoner car, where he was sentenced to a reduced death sentence. And the person who succeeded Lu Zhi was Dong Zhuo.

The imperial court worshiped Dong Zhuo as the general of Dongzhonglang, took over Lu Zhi's military affairs in Jizhou, and was fully responsible for pacifying the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou.

Xu Ji couldn't help but laugh when he knew this, who is Dong Zhuo? It is a strongman who conquers and rebels against the state, and to put it bluntly, he is a rough local hero. Although he was an official and merged with the state assassin history, he was afraid that he would suffer a big loss for his lack of understanding of the Central Plains. And this also made Xu Ji very optimistic about his ending. Sure enough, on the way back to Luoyang after Lu Zhi resigned from his post and was escorted back, Dong Zhuo, who had taken office as a new official, suffered a major defeat and suffered heavy losses, and Dong Zhuo himself was almost killed. When Emperor Ling heard the news, he was furious and dismissed Dong Zhuo's official position, and demoted Dong Zhuo back to Longxi without mentioning it.

And Zhang Jiao must not be left alone, so he was appointed on the front line of Huangfu Song, who had won a great victory in Dongjun, and was directly transferred by Liu Hong to the front line of Guangzong to take over all matters related to the conquest of Zhang Jiao.

And at this time, Xu Ji finally arrived in Chenliu after half a month. At this time, Xu Jifang learned that his commander was also Zhang Miao, who had recently taken office because of his military merits. When Ji arrived, Zhang Miao was still on the road, and Xu Ji had no choice but to take over the work of supervising the postal service first and temporarily handle affairs on behalf of Zhang Miao.

The important reason why Xu Ji did not resist the position of post supervisor and was even a little surprised was that the post supervisor could be in charge of the army, that is, this was not a simple civilian job, in addition to being ordered to arrest and record prisoners, he also had the duty of patrolling the counties. Moreover, Chen Liuxin was poisoned by the Yellow Turban, and the original officials had already died, and those who did not die also escaped without a trace. That is to say, the great Chen Liuguo is now the only one who supervises the post. Obviously, it is impossible for Xu Ji to do the matter of patrolling the county alone, not to mention that patrolling the county is not a trivial matter, and it is inevitable to report to be too guarded. And now that Zhang Miao has not yet arrived, Xu Ji cannot start his county patrol work immediately, so he has to start with government affairs first.

Although Chenliu County is a county, the people usually call it Chen Liuguo, and the governance of Taishou is naturally in Chenliu County, and the post supervisor appointed by Xu Ji also has a governance office, Xu Ji naturally will not find himself uncomfortable and choose the same governance office as his top boss, not only to disrespect him but also to let himself be constrained by the officials of Taishou Mansion in everything. And the 16 counties under the jurisdiction of Chen Liu, Chen Liu County has been excluded, so Xu Ji in the remaining 15 counties naturally wants to choose the best location to govern it. After all, now Chen Liu's only one post supervisor, obviously Chen Liu's scale needs at least two post supervisors, divided into governors. Xu Ji naturally had to take advantage of his convenience to choose it as early as possible.

The problem is again, now Xu Ji is not without a choice but it is too difficult to choose, and now his official position in Chen Liuguo is almost the biggest, and with Gao Shun's escort, there is no problem in terms of security. The only question is that Xu Ji is struggling with how to position himself, whether he really wants to be alone but still supervise the post? Xu Ji also made difficulties in choosing his own place of governance, in fact, although the post supervisor is light, but he has great power, as long as it is the affairs of Chenliu County, Xu Ji, the post supervisor, can be managed, Zhu Jun for Xu Ji's position can be said to be well-intentioned, Xu Ji's position as the post supervisor is not often noticed, but can grasp the actual power. This is undoubtedly what Xu Ji wants the most.

Even if it is Zhang Miao, as long as there is a violation of the law, Xu Ji can impeach him. Therefore, Xu Ji is almost certain that Zhang Miao will not embarrass himself, as long as he does not challenge his authority, Zhang Miao will definitely not provoke Xu Ji without trouble. Then Xu Ji can obviously be more presumptuous to choose the option that better meets his requirements. Therefore, Xu Ji decided that even if Zhang Miao appointed another post supervisor at that time, Xu Ji would also put him in the air. As for the issue of governance, Xu Ji's post office is already certain that he will never stay in the same place as Taishou, which is also not to give Zhang Miao any reason, so what reason can Zhang Miao have to find Xu Ji uncomfortable?

Xu Ji looked at Chen Liu's map and was stunned, unable to make a decision for a long time. In addition to Chenliu County, there are 15 counties to choose from, such as Kaoyu, Yongqiu, Sujuo, Xiangyi, Waihuang, Fengqiu, Fugou, Xiaohuang, Weishi, Changyuan, Pingqiu, Jiyang, Yuxian, Jiwu, and Junyi, but just like Xu Ji's troubles, where is the best choice?
