By the time everyone had discussed the plan, it was already evening.

At this time, the Shadow Elite Team that had been sent by Chen Zhi to disperse to various places had returned to the camp one after another, and when everyone knew that Xu Ji, Chen Zhi and Shi A had been recovered, they were all ecstatic. Needless to say.

Xu Ji's move to recruit Li Yan went unexpectedly well.

However, when Xu Ji handed over the task of covering Chen to him, Li Yan's eyes turned red with emotion, of course, because of Xu Ji's trust in him.

People in this era value reputation the most, Xu Ji treated him like this, and handed over his most beloved general to Li Yan, and Li Yan of course swore to die in revenge.

Immediately, Xu Ji's plan was in full swing.

Li Yan took Chen to return to Jingzhou, and then contacted Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu to inform them of various tasks, while Dian Wei took the Phantom Elite to continue the task of finding Liu Xie and Xu Ji.

Later, Shi Ah returned to Yanzhou to tell Guo Jia and Xun Chen everything that happened here, and at the same time, Xu Ji issued a secret order, asking Guo Jia and Xun Chen to carry out a plan for external expansion according to the original plan, but Xu Ji asked Guo Jia to show his ambition, and to show that it was Guo Jia's own idea to seize Xuzhou, so as to continue to deepen Yuan Shao's illusion that Xu Ji and Guo Jia were not in harmony.

A few days later, the news of Dong Zhuo's death and Liu Xie's disappearance spread. This is, of course, the result of Xu Ji's wanton dissemination. In order to make Wang Yun unable to control the situation for a period of time, so that Wang Yun will really consider Guo Jia's letter.

The most uncomfortable thing about Xu Ji's rumor was that he connected Liu Xie's disappearance with Wang Yun's elimination of Dong Zhuo, which gave people an illusion. That is to say, if Wang Yun did not act rashly to eliminate Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie would not have disappeared.

This statement made Wang Yun speechless, because the matter was true from a certain point of view.

For a time, the world was in an uproar. The emperor is gone, this is a first-class event in the world.

However, as Xu Ji expected, although everyone's reaction was enthusiastic, there was no excesses, because over the years, the status of the emperor of the Han Dynasty in people's hearts was really low, although everyone knew that the country of Lu Dao could not be without a king for a day. But in recent years, the emperor of the Han Dynasty has really lost his reputation. Liu Xie's father, Emperor Ling of Han, died on a woman's belly, and the rightful heir, the young emperor Liu Wei, was killed by Dong Zhuo, and Liu Xie was the emperor, but there were too few people who recognized him. Originally, Xu Ji and others had already recognized Liu Xie. Now it's lost. Naturally, there is no status in people's hearts, Liu Yu is expected by everyone, but Liu Yu does not want to be the emperor.

And so it goes. The emperor of the Han Dynasty became an object that could be abolished and discarded at will.

People think that the emperor must be there, but it is not a big deal to disappear temporarily, and the big deal is to set up a new emperor, and it is the ministers who have the final say anyway.

This kind of thinking is very unfavorable to Wang Yun. Without the emperor, what power does he have?

Wang Yun originally wanted to settle this matter secretly, and quietly found Liu Xie back, but who knew that Lu Dao turned out to be such a result.

However, the situation is not bad, because it is rumored that Wang Yun already has clues about Liu Xie, and he will be able to retrieve them in a few days.

Wang Yun was so angry that he couldn't stand up and speak, no matter what, there was something in his favor about this rumor.

Wang Yun is not a fool, and he knows that this news was spread by Yanzhou. It seems that Yanzhou is ready to rely on his Wang Yun for the emperor's loss.

But what puzzled Wang Yun was why Yanzhou spread the false news that he was about to find Liu Xie, which was really beneficial to Wang Yun.

Jia Xu stood up at this time and reminded Wang Yun that Yanzhou must have a plan for doing this, and asked Wang Yun to wait and see what happened. But in fact, Jia Xu is actually hinting at Wang Yun, which is probably a signal that Yanzhou does not want to lose both.

Of course, Wang Yun regarded Xu Ji and Yanzhou as enemies at this time, but Jia Xu's words made Wang Yun have to think deeply, because Wang Yun knew that even if Yanzhou was overthrown, because he did not have the emperor in his hands, he would not have any benefits. What's more, Xu Jina is also a big man with good words, so Wang Yun can only endure this rumor and acquiesce to it.

Wang Yunyi kept the rumors secretive, and the world became more and more sure of the authenticity of the rumors.

Of course, it was also believed that the emperor would soon be recovered.

Soon after, Ma Teng returned to Xiliang, and Cao Cao returned to Guangling, which was expected by Xu Ji, after all, Guangling was the foundation of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao already knew that he would not be able to make any benefits in Chang'an.

Now that Liu Xie is gone, the undercurrent of Chang'an is surging, Cao Cao doesn't want to be in it, and it is normal to retreat.

However, the thing that reassures Wang Yun is that Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu, who control the military power of Chang'an City, are very supportive of him, and the power is out of the barrel of the gun, with these two people, even if Liu Xie cannot be recovered, Wang Yun is also a prince of one side.

What's more, there is the support of scholars like Yang Biao.

Jia Xu is also giving advice to him, which makes Wang Yun feel a lot more at ease.

In particular, Zhang Xiu's behavior of taking the initiative to ask Ying to go out of the city to find Liu Xie made Wang Yun extremely moved, and he even regarded Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu as confidants.

And Xu Ji, who got the news, snickered in his heart, because sooner or later, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu would hollow out Wang Yun's political foundation and power.

At that time, he will be able to obtain Chang'an without bloodshed.

There was only one thing that Xu Ji expected, that is, Liu Bei did not return to Youzhou, but followed Zhang Ren straight to Yizhou and went to Yizhou Liu Yan. As for Liu Yu's son, Liu He ran back to Youzhou.

Originally, Xu Ji was ready to destroy Liu Bei when he captured Youzhou, but this is good, Liu Bei is considered a hidden dragon ascending to heaven, and the salted fish has turned over.

It's just that I didn't expect Liu Bei to embark on the road of entering Shu after being the most reluctant.

But this is a good thing, Liu Bei entered Shu, Liu Yan was old and weak, and his life was short, but there was a dragon and tiger fight between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang is orthodox, and Liu Bei is popular. And Liu Bei entered Shu with Zhang Ren, but Liu Zhang is still staying in Chang'an with his two brothers, just like Liu Yu left his son Liu He in Chang'an.

However, Liu Yan also has a son, Liu Mao, who is in Xishu. Even without Liu Zhang, Liu Bei still has a long way to go.

Let's see who wins.

For Xu Ji, of course, the more chaotic Yizhou is, the better, so that it is more convenient for Jia Xu to attack Yizhou.

Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, Jia Xu, the first speculator in the Three Kingdoms, can naturally understand, right?

At this time, Liu Xie was found back by Zhang Xiu.

Xu Ji was overjoyed and went to greet him in person.

In fact, this matter was expected by Xu Ji for a long time.

Liu Xie, a half-grown child, can run alone?

At this time, everyone knew that the place where Liu Xie was going was Youzhou, so all roads leading to Youzhou were full of ambushes looking for Liu Xie.

Zhang Xiu's Xiliang cavalry, Li Dao Guo Yan's flying bear army, Yuan Min's long knife hand, and Dian Wei's shadow elite, Liu Xieruo can still escape to Liu Yu's territory under such circumstances. Then he is really the number one escape expert in the world.

Liu Xie's capture by Zhang Xiu is even more inevitable.

You must know that Yuan Min is the person Yuan Shao secretly sent to find Liu Xie. Where do you dare to search blatantly? And Yuan Min soon discovered something, his whereabouts were completely monitored. It seems that no matter where he goes, Zhang Xiu's army always appears at the right time, and it has been tried and tested.

Of course, this is thanks to Dian Wei's Shadow Elite. The anti-reconnaissance capabilities ahead of this era gave Yuan Min's troops nowhere to hide. Therefore. The possibility of Yuan Min finding Liu Xie was basically ruled out.

Li Dao and Guo Yan's Flying Bear Army was too far north, so they also lost the opportunity to find Liu Xie, unless Liu Xie could miraculously pass through the blockade of Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei.

When Xu Ji saw Liu Xie. Although he already knew at this time that Liu Xie was reluctant to follow him, he still showed a trace of pity.

In just a few days, this Liu Xie is too miserable.

It's no different from calling a child.

But Xu Ji understands a truth better: "Poor people must have something to hate"!

This Liu Xie saw that Xu Ji did not cry like ordinary children or disdain Xu Ji, a malicious person, but showed a very happy expression, which made Xu Ji's heart cold.

Where is this Liu Xie still a child?

Xu Ji didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he directly sent someone to secretly send Liu Xie back to Yanzhou.

Xu Ji gave a strict order to the ghost elite who "escorted" Liu Xie, and he was not allowed to have any conversation with Liu Xie along the way, and Liu Xie must be accompanied no matter what he did.

The same mistake Xu Ji didn't want to make a second time.

After a few more days, Xu Ji's effect of spreading Liu Xie's disappearance gradually became apparent.

First of all, Liu Yan, this old guy and wicked man sued first, accusing Wang Yun of being ineffective and losing the emperor. Then Liu Yan appointed Zhang Lu of Hanzhong as the governor of Sima, and put on the intention of attacking Chang'an.

At the same time, Liu Yan wrote letters to his friends Xiliang Han Sui and Ma Chao, hoping that he would join him in condemning Wang Yun, which caused a quarrel between Han Sui and Ma Teng.

Of course, Xu Ji knew that Liu Yan was bluffing, and the relationship between Han Sui and Ma Teng was indeed complicated in history, but for a while they were lifelong friends, in the three kingdoms they were in, until now, the two are still good friends, and Ma Teng is a person from Wang Yun's side, loyal to the Han family, and will inevitably dissuade Han Sui.

As for Zhang Lu, he and Liu Yan are just using each other, and of course they will not listen to Liu Yan's orders.

If Liu Yan relied on the status of the royal family to dominate the world, then Zhang Lu relied on the power of religion. No one will obey anyone.

And in this way, Liu Yan's purpose couldn't be simpler, doing so is just to create prestige for himself.

However, Liu Yan's intentions are not only visible to Xu Ji, almost at the same time as Liu Yan reprimanded Wang Yun, Liu Biao also announced to the world a major crime of disrespect by Liu Yan.

Liu Biao said in the book that Liu Yan had a heart of disobedience, and privately "made more than 1,000 rides in a public car", and said that Liu Yan "has the theory that Zixia is suspicious of a saint in Xihe", and that Liu Yan is now regarded as a sage Confucius just like Confucius's disciple Zixia when he was teaching in Xihe, which actually refers to Liu Yan's plot to misbehave.

As soon as this incident came out, Liu Yan was immediately a little anxious.

Xu Ji knew that this was Guangwu's order, and Liu Yan was a little impatient.

But this is just one thing, Liu Bei knows that Liu Biao has long been thinking about Yizhou, otherwise what is Liu Yan doing in Yizhou, how can Liu Biao know Lu Dao so clearly?

Followed by Niu Fu and others.

Originally, Niu Fu, Li Dao and Guo Yan had already learned the news of Dong Zhuo's death and were very panicked. originally wanted to surrender, but who knew that Wang Yun was so angry by Xu Ji's series of tactics that he was carried away, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he actually ordered to refuse to accept surrender.

Xu Ji has long known this, because in history, Wang Yun did things like this, regardless of importance. If Wang Yun hadn't been so stubborn, he would have become the Zhongxing minister of the Han Dynasty a long time ago.

Niu Fu and the three of them were helpless, and began to fight hard and prepare for war with Wang Yun.

Where did Wang Yun think that these three lost dogs would actually declare war on him, and he was so angry that he wanted to go to war.

The interesting thing is that both sides are in the name of crusading against the traitors.

Wang Yun said that the three of them were Dong Zhuo's remnants. But the three said that Wang Yun had lost the emperor. It's a big rebellion.

For example, other princes, Liu Yu and others also began to be indifferent to Wang Yun and others in Chang'an for various reasons. The only thing Wang Yun can now be recognized by the world is to eliminate Dong Zhuo. And this rumor that "Liu Xie can be recovered".

However, Wang Yun was worried about how long he could support it.

In this way, Wang Yun really became an ant on a hot pot.

Soon after, a letter from Guo Jia traveled across the Wanli Pass Mountain. Flew to Chang'an. entered Situ Wangyun's mansion......

Wang Yun heard that Guo Jia, the "First Army Division" in Yanzhou, had a letter to himself. Big surprise. Thinking of Jia Xu's words, I immediately understood that this was a cooperation letter from Yanzhou to avoid losing both, so naturally I couldn't despise it. Hurriedly summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to his home for a gathering.

For a time, countless princes and princes came, and Wang Yun's mansion became a small court.

Wang Yun opened Guo Jia's letter in public and read out the contents of Guo Jia's letter.

When they landed, everyone was amazed.

Wang Yun was also very stunned, he really didn't expect Guo Jia to propose that he follow the example of Duke Zhou and rule the world, especially Guo Jia not only showed his own dissatisfaction with Xun Chen, the assistant Xu Ji arranged for him, but also offered to help him eliminate Li Dao Guo Yan, and this condition naturally made Wang Yun fall into a dream, he couldn't believe that this was true, and he couldn't help but set his eyes on Jia Xu, who was now regarded as his confidant.

So it was with those who were there.

After a period of outstanding performance, Jia Xu has won the trust and recognition of hundreds of civil and military officials in Chang'an, and is recognized as the first wise man in Chang'an. At this time, Wang Yun looked at Jia Xu's ministers, and naturally looked at Jia Xu, hoping that he could solve his doubts.

Jia Xu laughed secretly in his heart at this time, because he knew that it was time for Xu Ji's plan to be fully launched.

Frankly speaking, Xu Ji's plan this time is very temperamental to Jia Xu, because Jia Xu himself is a pervasive speculator, and what he is most willing to do is to fish in troubled waters, and many of the things Xu Ji is doing now are actually messing up the whole world, and Jia Xu certainly finds it very interesting.

After organizing his thoughts, Jia Xu cleared his throat, bowed to Wang Yun and said, "My lord, can't you see it?" This is actually Guo Jia's cooperation letter to adults, and from Guo Jia's letter, we can see that Xu Ji's whereabouts are still unknown. ”

Everyone couldn't help but feel like they were falling into the fog.

Jia Xu Ha said with a smile: "Have you ever thought about how important it is to ask Lord Situ to be regent? If Xu Ji was in Yanzhou, where would Guo Jia speak? ”

Everyone was stunned.

Jia Xu said to Wang Yun: "Such a whimsical idea must have come up with Guo Jia, and it is very beneficial to adults at this time, because it can make us invincible." With the support of the two states, one of the most powerful of my Han dynasty, who dares to oppose the adults? ”

Of course, Wang Yun is very excited, but doing so is equivalent to letting Xu Ji go, once he cooperates with Yanzhou, Xu Ji has done all the past, Wang Yun will no longer be able to do any care, Wang Yun is a narrow-minded person, as long as he thinks of this, he is very unwilling.

Jia Xu seemed to see through Wang Yun's thoughts, and smiled sadly: "Don't worry, Lord Situ, our cooperation with Yanzhou does not mean that we have to let Xu Ji go." ”

Wang Yun perked up and looked at Jia Xu, who said coldly: "There are countless people in the world who want to get rid of Xu Ji, and judging from the direction of Xu Ji's escape, Xu Ji must want to make a detour to Jiangnan, and then go to Yangzhou, and return to Yanzhou from Yangzhou Assassin Liu Xuan, although the road is long, but it is very safe." After all, Xu Ji and Liu Ji themselves have no grievances, and even had a good exchange when the princes were in alliance, so we might as well inform Yuan Shu and Liu Biao that Xu Ji will appear within the range of his power, Yuan Shu originally wanted to eliminate Yangzhou, and must be very interested in this news, Liu Biao was also very dissatisfied with Xu Ji's advocacy of meeting the emperor, and the two would definitely go all out to hunt down Xu Ji. What's more, it is not difficult to see from Guo Jia's letter that he is also dissatisfied with his lord, and it is difficult to say whether Xu Ji can really return to Yanzhou alive. ”

Wang Yun's eyes lit up, and he muttered, "Borrowing a knife to kill someone? ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's right." In this way, we can curry favor with both sides, and the Yanzhou army will help us clean up Niu Fu and others, why don't we do it? ”

Wang Yun was in a good mood at this time, and in the past many days, only today made him very happy.

Jia Xu sneered in his heart, but said solemnly on the surface: "Also, Lord Situ, we should take advantage of the fact that the two states are supporting the Lord as the regent and preparing to send troops to attack Liu Yan in Yizhou. Now Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, has evidence that Liu Yan is not subservient, and it is the right time to crusade against Liu Yan. ”

Wang Yun was originally very dissatisfied with Liu Yan, and was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked: "Wen He's words have won my heart, who can ask for it on behalf of the imperial court?" ”

Zhang Xiu flashed at this time and said: "Lord Situ, I am willing to go!" ”

Wang Yun was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

Jia Xu was secretly happy in his heart.

Xu Ji's plan has taken a big step forward. (To be continued......)
