Chapter 55: The Big Plan
Xu Ji has been waiting for Xu Qian's reply in Yu County for several days, Xu Ji is actually far from being as breezy as he appeared, but he has to confuse the heroes of Yu County with an unfathomable look. And this is the fifth day that Xu Qian left Yu County, fortunately, because of Mao Jie, he has basically stabilized Yu County in his own hands, but the lack of talents who can handle internal affairs is still Xu Ji's heart disease, he is looking forward to Xun Yu being able to come, but he also knows that this is mostly unlikely. And on the sixth day of Xu Qian's departure, Xu Ji got the news that Xu Qian had returned to Yu County, and he also brought a person.
Xu Ji is naturally very curious about this person, who will this person be? The answer was soon revealed, Xun You and Xu Qian came to see Xu Ji together, Xu Qian just came to report that he was back, it was actually Xun You who was really eager to see Xu Ji, and everything was handed over to Xun You by Guo Jia and Xun Yu, Xu Ji also knew that it was okay to let Xu Qian, a rough man, send a letter to kill a person, but it would be a bit difficult for a strong man to ask him to do something else, after all, Xu Qian probably didn't have that ability. So Xu Ji simply let Xu Qian go back to the camp to rest, after all, he was tired from running back and forth.
And Xun You had no choice, he arrived in Yu County, regardless of the wind and dust, and immediately asked Xu Qian to take him to visit Xu Ji, naturally there was something important to report to Xu Ji, not to mention that his uncle and Guo Jia had explanations, and they couldn't afford to delay at all. But Xun You's first words when he saw Xu Ji were like this: "Lord, Xun Gongda paid a visit to Lord Governor. Xun You, who has always been silent, actually laughed at Xu Ji as soon as they met, Xu Ji also smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Is there anything important for Gongda to see me in such a hurry?" ”
Xun You is naturally not a prodigal like Guo Jia, and he will not always look lazy after the joke is opened, and immediately said with a straight face when he heard the words: "Lord, Uncle wants me to remind the Lord that the dark tide around him is now turbulent, and he still has to be careful, because he was grounded by the adults in the clan, I am afraid that he will not be able to come in person to provide any help to the Lord in a short time." Xu Ji nodded to show that he understood, and then frowned again: "What I said in the letter, don't Guo Fengxiao and your uncle have any good candidates?" ”
Xun You also smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's not nothing, it's just that my uncle told me that he has two candidates for the people the Lord needs, one is Chen Qun Chen Changwen from Yingchuan, and the other is Liang Xi Liang Ziyu from Chen County." It's just ......" Xu Ji also smiled bitterly, this Chen Qun does have the ability to have the kind of talent he needs, but how can he be willing to serve himself when he was born into a wealthy family? What's more, he is now just a post supervisor, even if Chen Qun is very close to him despite his background, but he is really not worthy of Chen now to invest in Chen Qun, a potential stock that represents the hope of the family, so in fact, the so-called choice is only Liang Xi of Chen County, thinking of this, Xu Ji asked again: "Who is this Liang Xi?" ”
Xun You replied with a smile: "Feng Xiao had expected that the lord would inevitably ask about his details, so he also gave his subordinate Liang Xi some news in advance. As he spoke, he took out a white cloth from the placket of his coat.
Xu Ji replied with a smile as he took it: "Gongda, you don't have to call me the lord or the post supervisor in private, why do you have to mind these things after many years of friendship?" It's a little uncomfortable for me to call it that. ”
Xun Yu said: "How can the lord's subordinates be so nonsense? Now that the Lord is the master of the people, he should have some dignity, and personal relations are private relationships, but he must not mess with the etiquette. Xu Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that Xun You's temperament was like this, he stopped talking, and looked intently at the information about Liang Xi written by Guo Jia on the white cloth.
Liang Xi, a native of Chenjun Zhe, was poor when he was a child, and his ambition was to learn by himself, and then entered Yingchuan Academy to study, he was diligent and studious, not arrogant or impatient, and acted calmly, arrogant but knew the gains and losses........................
After Xu Ji saw it, he frowned and raised his head and said, "Where is this Liang Xi now?" Bonghyo doesn't seem to mention his whereabouts. ”
Xun You bowed and said: "Back to the Lord, Liang Xi is now an official in Chen County." ”
Xu Ji frowned again, this Liang Xi does seem to be an excellent choice, but whether he can use it for himself is a question, and now he has devoted himself to the place where his hometown is located as an official, so whether he is willing to leave his hometown to serve as a postal supervisor in another county is really a question. And he needs Liang Xi to work for himself, so he must first study his ability, so he can only leave Yu County and go to Chen County in person, which obviously requires a great risk, after all, Yu County still wants him to sit in town, and out of the talent of Liang Xi in the school and the importance he attaches to him, Xu Ji has to go in person, which makes Xu Ji very uncertain, and it is unknown whether Liang Xi will work because of this.
"Gongda, tell me, what do you think of this Liang Xi? Is it really a solution to the problem I am facing today? Xu Ji looked at Xun You and asked.
Xun You obviously knew something about Liang Xi before, and immediately replied when he heard Xu Ji's question: "Liang Ziyu is the best choice among the talents that the lord needs most now, except for the uncle and Chen Changwen of his subordinates, not to mention that this person is from a poor family, and he must have a better understanding of the lord's governance strategy." Moreover, Liang Xi is also quite unhappy now, but he is just a county official, and his talent is by no means just a county official, and the lord should make good use of it. ”
Xu Ji fell into deep thought when he heard this, since Xun Yu's uncle and nephew and Guo Jia both value this Liang Xi so much, it is enough to show this person's talent, and Liang Xi's net worth background also allows Xu Ji to hand over his rear to him with confidence, but the problems he faces still exist, Yu County himself can't leave easily, but he can't show that he values him when he sends people to conquer, this is what Xu Ji really hesitates about is that there is not much doubt about Liang Xi's talent under the recommendation of several people. Instead, the problem has become a problem for Yuxian itself. And how to solve this problem, Xu Ji fell into deep thought.
Xun You looked at Xu Ji frowning and asked, "What is the difficulty of the Lord?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Ji came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "What I am worried about is nothing more than Yu County." I originally intended to go to Liang Xi to meet Liang Xi in person to persuade him to serve me, but if I leave, I don't know if there will be turmoil, and the Yuxian clan will be a trouble after all. ”
Xun You also understood when he heard it, Xu Ji was still worried about the safety of Yu County, Xu Ji's worry was of course not superfluous, since he controlled Yu County, he consciously took back power from the hands of the clan little by little, and these clans did not react excessively to Xu Ji's prestige, but if Xu Ji left Yu County, it would be difficult to say, if these clans were united, they might not have the ability to regain control of Yu County. Of course, these Xun You understand that he himself is a child of the Xun clan, and he knows the strength of the family very well, even if it seems that there is not much strength on the surface, but secretly the number of private soldiers is quite a lot, and there is even a precedent for the county guard to borrow troops from the clan, Xu Ji's worries are indeed very likely to become a reality, but at present, Xu Ji does need such a person, which means that either Xu Ji leaves someone who can be trusted enough and has good ability to sit for him, or he can only give up the plan to go to Chen County in person.
And Xu Ji is obviously unwilling to stay in Yu County, first of all, Xu Ji is not good at internal affairs, and he has nothing to do in Yu County, which can only play a deterrent role, this is not the result Xu Ji wants, on the contrary, if Xu Ji goes to Chen County in person, then the possibility of persuading Liang Xi to work for him will be greatly increased, not to mention that Xu Ji actually has a bigger plan.
And even if this plan is to be implemented, it still needs a person who can calm the field, at least this person must be able to ensure that the soldiers under Xu Ji's command can be stable, of course, such a person is not nothing, whether Bo Cai or Chen Zhi can do it, but Chen Zhi undoubtedly wants to go to Chen County with Xu Ji, and Bo Cai is still in a coma in bed, obviously there is no way to undertake this task, so the remaining Mao Jie obviously can't convince the soldiers who have been under Xu Ji's command for a long time, Xu Qian is just a fierce general but not a handsome talent, and naturally he can't become a trusted candidate for Xu Ji, Then there is no such candidate under Xu Ji's command, Xu Ji only found out at this time that there are many fierce generals under his command who can rush into battle, and there are also Gao Shun who can train troops, and he can also bear it by himself, but there is a lack of handsome talents who can lead a group alone and internal affairs talents in the rear of Anzhen, and what Xu Ji lacks most now is such a person.
Xun You frowned and pondered for a long time and said, "Lord, why don't you hand over the defense of Yuxian County to your subordinates." ”
Xu Ji raised his eyebrows when he heard this, this was the first time that Xun You, who had always been wooden, volunteered, Xu Ji suddenly remembered what Guo Jia had said when he talked to him about Xun You's evaluation before: Gongda, the outside is stupid and the inside is wise, the outside is cowardly and the inside is brave, the outside is weak and the inside is strong, no goodness, no hard work, wisdom is within reach, foolishness is unreachable, although Yan Zi and Ning Wu can't pass. Gongda, very people, if you can get things to do with it, why should the world worry?
Xu Ji then remembered that the young man in front of him was already twenty-five years old, he was no longer a teenager like himself, and he was also an age when he wanted to show what he had learned for many years, and thinking of Guo Jia's evaluation, Xu Ji also strengthened his beliefs, and his plan could be implemented. Xun You is undoubtedly a trustworthy person.
So Xu Ji nodded and said: "Gongda is naturally good if he has a heart, but in the current situation in Yu County, can Gongda be mentally prepared?" ”
Xun You smiled, and his smile was full of confidence and publicity: "Gongda is willing to set up a military formation, if you can't protect the county, please behead the minister!" ”
Xu Ji said with a smile: "There is no need for the army to stand, Gongda, I expect that if I leave Yu County, the local clan will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and I am about to take this opportunity to let these clans send themselves to my sword." ”
Xun You frowned and said, "How can the clan beg for death by themselves?" Besides, by what means does the Lord want to purge these families? Xun You also knew that the harm of the world clan was not shallow, so he didn't ask Xu Ji why he wanted to purge the world, he even understood better than most people, because his parents died early, and he personally experienced the darkness within the world, so he would not stop Xu Ji from purging the world.
Xu Ji showed a sarcastic chuckle: "Naturally, I left Yu County with great fanfare, if I learned that I left Yu County and would not return to Yu County in a short time, how could these clans who were suppressed by me endure loneliness and not make a move?" I rely on the natural means to reach you, this time I am just a guise to lure the enemy, the real planner is you, I don't ask about the process, as long as the result. ”
Xun You couldn't help but smile bitterly, although being reused by others is undoubtedly a manifestation of self-worth, but this is the first time he has made independent decisions, and Xu Ji will hand over such a big situation to himself to solve, Xun You is not a mediocre talent, so he naturally understands at a glance that Xu Ji is another big gamble like setting up a game, once Xu Ji fails, then he will lose his hard-won Yuanxian, and if he loses Yuanxian, then Xu Ji not only loses his good situation, but also makes all his plans still a blank like a cake. But Xun You still decided to take on such a task, of course Xun You did not accept it for a moment of brain fever, but out of introspection of the situation, first of all, there is no Liu Xian in Yuxian County, that is, the dragons have no leader, each clan has its own needs, and it is inevitable that it will not be able to truly unite as one, so there will be an opportunity. Moreover, the number of soldiers that Xun You could use was much more than that of Xu Ji at that time, and these were also the source of Xun You's self-confidence, and Xun You also decided that although this plan was risky, it had a great chance of success, and the benefits after success were also extremely gratifying. What's more, Xu Ji's first battle of his debut that year was to burn most of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban with hundreds of people, Xun You asked himself if he didn't have Xu Ji's means, tens of thousands of people could play with it, but he was still confident to solve it against a small county.
So Xun You replied to Xu Ji decisively: "Your Majesty is willing to share the worries of the Lord, if you can't solve the Yuxian clan, Gongda please apologize." ”
Xu Ji didn't say much, just approached and patted Xun You's shoulder and said, "Be more careful, don't weaken your reputation, my Xu Wenlie's foundation is fully paid." After that, he didn't pay attention to Xun You and walked straight away, Xun You behind him turned to look at Xu Ji's back as he gradually moved away, and smiled: "Wen Lie, how can Gongda let you specialize in beauty?" Let's wait and see, we will live up to the trust! ”
On the other side of Yingchuan, Guo Jia is also drinking a little wine very leisurely, and the old man on one side is Wen Bo, who has not shown up for a long time: "Fengxiao, it's better to drink less at your age, otherwise I'm afraid that I will be in trouble when I get old." ”
Guo Jia smiled and shook his head: "The troubled times are coming, and it is unknown whether you can live for so long." Wen Lie once said, I think that as a reasonable person, life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. Wenbo, will you come and drink with you? ”
Wen Bo smiled on his bark-like wrinkled face and said, "The old man is too old to drink, so I will go and see if the young master's in-laws have come." ”
Hearing this, Guo Jia's face showed a smile that could not be laughed at, and he couldn't help but mourn for Xu Ji silently, if Xu Ji knew what kind of look and mentality he would have an inexplicable wife when he didn't know it, Guo Jia suddenly began to look forward to the day when his friend who had known him since childhood returned to Yingchuan, Guo Jia drank a glass of wine and said to himself: "Wen Lie, this time, Guo Fengxiao is afraid that he won't be able to help you." With that, Da Lu laughed.
And Xu Ji naturally didn't know all this, and he didn't expect that he still had such a trouble waiting for him.
