Chapter 345: Mutation
Although they had long known that Chang'an City would inevitably cause chaos, everyone in the house was still surprised.
Xin Ping didn't know what was going on, of course he was shocked, but Xu Ji calmly told him not to be impatient, and then told him that there was another inside story, and if he had the opportunity to tell him in the future.
Xin Ping also knew that he had just entered the core of Xu Ji's power, so there were many things he didn't know, so of course he kept his mouth shut and listened to everyone's speeches honestly.
Chen Zhi said to Xu Ji: "My lord, I didn't expect the Chang'an Rebellion to happen so quickly, why don't you take a trip to Youzhou and just send me." Of course, Xu Ji understood that Chang'an seemed to be a small place, but it was the foundation of his own plan to conquer the world.
If something happens in Chang'an, then Xiliang and Yizhou will take the opportunity to expand their power, of course, now Yizhou is now seeking self-protection, and Xiliang is inseparable because of the old and new forces, after all, Ma Teng and Han Sui and Li Qi and Guo Yan all want to occupy Xiliang. The former is seeking to develop and grow, while the latter is seeking a foothold. These two sides are of course a life-and-death fight.
And Jia Xu saw through this point to let the two contain each other, and even sent his right-hand man to pretend to be Li Xuan and Guo Yan's military advisors. And Jia Xu personally went to contain Liu Yan in Hanzhong, and then provoked the three major forces in Chang'an City to fight among themselves, and when the three were defeated, Xu Ji personally took action to sweep Chang'an.
In this way, Xu Ji could take advantage of the opportunity to pacify Chang'an and plan how to seize Xiliang and Yizhou in the future.
However, according to Xu Ji's intentions, it is ideal that the Chang'an Rebellion should occur after he pacifies Youzhou, but unfortunately the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes. It is for this reason that Chen Zhi made this proposal. But Xu Ji couldn't agree, he knew that he was suffering in this matter. If it was just to kill Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, there was actually no need for Xu Ji to go in person. Xu Ji did have a last resort to go.
Let's not say that I went to Youzhou to create friction with ethnic minorities and prepare for war with ethnic minorities in the future. Just said that if he didn't go to Youzhou and went to Chang'an now, Yuan Shao's reaction would not be predictable.
Now Xu Ji is hoping that Yuan Shao will take the initiative to fight with him, so he has to give Yuan Shao an illusion. That is, he felt that his strength was equal to Xu Ji. Now Yuan Shao already has this plan, of course, because his "mother" is in his hands.
So I must make a posture of leaving everything behind for the sake of my mother. This can make Yuan Shao unscrupulous. Even if this indecisive primordial prince couldn't make up his mind for a while, it didn't matter, because his army was now in Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, and this was exactly what Yuan Shao wanted to capture, facing the Yanzhou army's activities in Yuzhou and northern Yangzhou. Xu Ji didn't believe that Yuan Shao could tolerate it.
What's more, Xu Ji can also use the excuse that Liu Xian is the assassin of Yangzhou, and ask Yuan Shao's army to launch Shouchun after defeating Yuan Shu in the future. Of course, if Yuan Shao is smart enough to tolerate everything. If he doesn't compete with Xu Ji for a day, Xu Ji will naturally have a better excuse to start a war with Yuan Shao.
The excuse was given to Xu Ji by Yuan Shao: that is, the person who kidnapped his "mother" was Yuan Shao's subordinate. As long as he has this reason in hand, then it is natural for him to deal with Yuan Shao as he wants.
Therefore, for the reunification of the Central Plains, Xu Ji must go to Youzhou to make an appearance. Thinking of this, Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "I believe that as long as Chang'an has Wen He, there will be no problem, and we can solve the big and small troubles in Youzhou as soon as possible, but I can't help but go." Yuan Shao will not be destroyed for a day. My heart is hard to press. ”
Chen Zhi understood what Xu Ji meant and nodded.
Xu Ji looked at the shadow who had just entered the door again, and said in a deep voice, "What is the situation on the other side of Chang'an?" The shadow groaned slightly, and then organized his words. Then he said in a deep voice: "Now Chang'an is in chaos, the situation is complicated and difficult to distinguish, and both sides are doing a good job of secrecy now." Only a few people know the inside story, and we can't say exactly what's going on. In short, Lord Situ Wang Yun had already arrested Lord Yang Biao, the Taiwei, while Wenhou Lu Bu led his army to occupy the northwest of Chang'an. Divide the city and rule it. and Wang Yun are basically going their own way. ”
Xu Ji and Chen Zhi looked at each other, they didn't expect Wang Yun to do it so quickly, and they arrested Yang Biao in a grand manner. The strangest is Lu Bu. In the face of Yang Biao's arrest, according to Lu Bu's character, he should immediately turn his face with Wang Yun, so as not to be subject to talent in the future. But now this Lu Bu is actually only occupying a corner of Chang'an City, just seeking self-protection, which is too strange.
Chen Zhi frowned and said, "The military power of Chang'an City is indeed not in Lu Bu's hands. On the surface, Lu Bu can mobilize a lot of troops and horses, but according to our intelligence, once something happens, the troops in Lu Bu's hands will definitely not find a quarter. ”
Xu Ji thought about it for a long time before he said, "I think this matter may have nothing to do with Wen He." After all, Wen He is now a pivotal figure in Chang'an City, whether it is Wang Yun or Lu Bu, they all want to give Wen He enough face, and in terms of indication, Wen He has a good relationship with these two people, so these two people are worried about what will happen to Wen He outside if they rashly eat each other. ”
Chen Zhi nodded convincingly: "The lord's words are reasonable, it seems that the topography of Chang'an City is still under the control of Mr. Jia Xu." Between the words, I breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Xu Ji shook his head and said: "It would be nice if the form of Chang'an was so simple, did Shu Zhi ever think about why Wang Yun suddenly made a move to Yang Biao, and he was so arrogant?" I think there must be some reason for that. ”
After a pause, Xu Ji was a little worried: "And Jia Wen and this person are first-class sages in the world, they have always been good at calculation, and they have always judged the overall situation very accurately, and he should know very well how to cooperate with the situation on our side." Chen Zhi thought about it for a while, and his face changed: "Could it be that the lord means that something happened in Chang'an that Mr. Jia Xu did not expect?" ”
Xu Ji nodded, and said in a deep voice: "That's what I mean, think about it, Wen He should know that I can only have the strength to deal with the affairs of Chang'an after dealing with the affairs of Youzhou first." Therefore, Wen He will definitely not disturb Chang'an at this time, and the only explanation is that there was an accident on Yang Biao's side. ”
Chen Zhi nodded. looked at the shadow and said with concern: "How is Mr. Jia Xu's side now?" Chen Zhi was worried about whether Yang Biao's matter would have any impact on Jia Xu.
The phantom said respectfully, "Mr. Jia Xu is doing business as usual. Now he is fighting against Zhang Ren's army in Yizhou. However, Mr. Jia Xu's actions are unpredictable. We have no way of asking him about his intentions. ”
Xu Jidi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Zhang Ren? ”
Chen Zhi knew that Xu Ji wanted to kill Zhang Ren, because when he broke through in Chang'an, if it weren't for this Zhang Ren, Wen Ping would not have been killed by Lu Bu at all.
Therefore, Xu Ji's hatred for Lu Bu is actually very small, not to mention that Wen Ping was seeking benevolence at that time, and died in a head-on conflict with Lu Bu and died on the battlefield. The Horse Leather Shroud is the greatest glory for every general. There's nothing to say about that.
But if there was no Zhang Ren, why would Wen Ping not challenge Lu Bu with all his might?
In the final analysis, Zhang Ren is the culprit of Wenpin's tragic death, and it is also because Zhang Ren is the person who Xu Ji almost wants to kill all the time.
Chen Zhi glanced at Xu Ji a little worriedly, of course he also understood Xu Ji's feelings, after all, Chen Zhi was also present at the time, and even he knew better than Xu Ji the courage required for Wenpin to make such a choice and the expectations for Xu Ji contained in it. However, Chen Zhi also knew that as a superior person, he must not be overwhelmed by anger and misjudged his mind, so he hurriedly distracted Xu Ji and said, "How is the battle situation there Mr. Jia Xu?" ”
The phantom said, "That Zhang Ren seems to be quite difficult to deal with, and now the two armies are facing each other. Xu Ji had calmed down at this time. Hearing this, he scolded with a smile: "What's so difficult to deal with? That is Jia Xu now has to take care of Chang'an, Xiliang, and Yizhou, he is afraid that he will not pay attention to Zhang Ren's meaning for the time being, not to mention that it is not yet time to open a knife on Zhang Ren. ”
The phantom smiled awkwardly, blushing slightly. In front of Xu Ji. He is not at all like the Yanzhou Phantom Subway Blood Elite.
Xu Ji looked at this phantom and said with a little amusement: "Tell me quickly, how does Jia Xu act?" The phantom whispered, "The first day of the war." Mr. Jia Xu asked Zhang Liao to go out to fight against the enemy, which led to Yan Yan, the general of Yizhou. The two sides fought for twenty rounds, and Yan Yan was defeated by Zhang Liao. and returned to the city in defeat.
Only then did Xu Ji remember that Jia Xu had already kidnapped Zhang Liao from Lu Bu. It's not the biggest, Jia Xu wooed this kid, how about it.
The phantom said to himself: "The next day, Zhang Liao continued to fight against the enemy, and it was Guan Yu, the general under Liu Bei, who came out to meet him......
"Guan Yu?" Xu Ji and Chen Zhi cried out in a lost voice.
Chen Zhi looked at Xu Ji and said, "Lord, Guan Yu is not trivial. Martial arts are actually not below me, and frankly speaking, what I am most afraid of is Guan Yu's attack method, which makes me feel that I can't exert force. Of course, if I'm on the defensive, he won't try to break my defense. ”
Xu Ji nodded silently, Guan Yu is sharp and difficult to last, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. But for Chen Zhi, it's a bit tricky. Lu Bu, Chen Dao, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, who was not famous at this time. It represents the extremes of the five ways of martial arts, and there is a bit of a taste of the five elements.
However, Xu Ji knew that according to the real history, Chen Zhi was probably not the opponent of the above four people at all, although Chen Zhi's martial arts had the taste of "water", but in fact, in addition to Chen Zhi, there was another person's martial arts that could also be called water, that is, Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear is magnificent, like the Yangtze River, surging endlessly, endlessly, more like the sea rain and wind, and the huge waves are monstrous. It's just that Chen Zhi can do this, and even Xu Ji himself can barely do it, of course, Chen Zhi can also turn rigidity into softness like mountains and flowing waters, and now he is going one step further, pursuing the realm of integrating the five elements. And this realm, Xu Ji is probably not likely to touch it.
But what Xu Ji cared about was that he would fight Liu Bei sooner or later, which was not strange, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to become so active and sharp after entering Yizhou.
All along, Xu Ji knew that Liu Bei saw the timing very accurately, and it seemed that Liu Bei had realized that if he no longer sought development for himself in Yizhou, then there would be no place for himself in the world. There are actually a lot of talents in Yizhou, especially in the early stage, so Liu Bei went to Yizhou at the right time. That is undoubtedly the dragon into the sea.
Chen Zhi was concerned about the situation of the battle, and asked, "How many moves did Zhang Liao lose?" "Implication. I am not optimistic about Zhang Liao at all.
The phantom said in a deep voice, "Probably in the tenth move. Xu Ji and Chen Zhi glanced at each other in surprise, they didn't expect this Zhang Liao's resilience to be so strong. Ten tricks that can support passing the level.
"By the next day. General Zhang Xiu personally went out, and the person who came out this time was Zhang Fei, another general of Liu Bei, "Xu Ji's heart sank, although Zhang Xiu's martial arts were very high, but at most, he walked up to the level of half a hundred under Dian Wei, of course, in Chang'an. As a guard, Dian Wei deliberately concealed his strength, and the ranking would be below Zhang Xiu, if he really fought, Zhang Xiu would not be the opponent of Dian Wei who used real skills.
You must know that Zhang Xiu has been defeated by Chen Zhi within twenty moves, although there are unexpected reasons.
But when Dian Wei first voted. Dian Wei fought under Chen Zhi for twenty rounds without losing the wind. Although Chen Zhi had made significant progress when he fought Zhang Xiu, although Dian Wei had only acted as a personal guard and rarely went to the battlefield over the years, he frequently fought with the generals under Xu Ji's command, and naturally made a lot of progress. Dian Wei may not be Zhang Fei's opponent, and Zhang Xiu must not be either.
Sure enough, I heard the phantom smile bitterly: "General Zhang Xiu was in a passive situation as soon as he fought with Zhang Fei, and he was defeated back to his own camp after struggling to support twenty moves.
Xu Ji nodded, this was not unexpected, Zhang Xiang's marksmanship was delicate, but his strength was not strong. In the face of Zhang Fei's stormy style of play, it is not easy to support twenty rounds, not to mention that there must be a role for Jia Xu in this, Jia Xu will definitely not let Zhang Xiu fight to the death. The only person in the world who can make up for the lack of strength with moves is Li Yan, this person's spear has been superb, otherwise he would not have the same fighting style as Zhang Fei.
Chen Zhi obviously thought of this as well, so he was not surprised at all.
What else? Xu Ji finally asked. The phantom thought for a moment before saying, "There is one thing that is strange, that is, now Xiliang has actually stopped fighting. Li Qi and Guo Yan began to hold the city with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and did not fight with each other. ”
Xu Ji frowned when he heard this. It seems that many things on the side of Chang'an are not in his imagination, and he will only know what is going on when he sees it in person in the future. Come to think of it. Only under the pressure of his concern for Chang'an, he ordered the phantom to go down. They were asked to continue to pay close attention to the movements in Chang'an City.
Xu Ji threw away the worries in his heart. After all, Jia Xu is a first-class strategist, so he naturally knows what he should do.
Come to think of it. Xu Ji said to Liang Xi in a deep voice: "Liang Xi, you write a letter to Xun Yu, asking them to send someone to send the emperor here secretly, and I need to have the emperor by my side when I go to Chang'an in the future." ”
Liang Xiwei was stunned, and immediately nodded happily. Of course, this political veteran knew that Xu Ji wanted to use the emperor's name to assess the Chang'an Rebellion.
Xin Ping was stunned on the side, he had always thought that the emperor had been married, but he didn't expect it to be in Xu Ji's hands.
Could it be that Xu Ji wants to replace him?
In horror, Xin Ping felt a kind of freshness and excitement. With Xu Ji's strength today, he definitely has the qualifications to win the world.
What's more, now that the Xin family is in the same boat as Xu Ji, it is impossible to regret it.
As soon as he thought of this, Xin Ping immediately felt at ease.
Looking at Xin Ping's expression, Xu Ji secretly praised in his heart: It is really a person who knows the times as a handsome man! Xu Ji turned his head and said to Chen Zhi in a deep voice: "We are resting for a day, and we will leave for Youzhou tomorrow."
Chen Zhi nodded, knowing that the soldiers under his command had been fighting outside for a long time, and if they didn't have a good rest, the battle in the future would have a great impact.
Liang Xi stood up and smiled at Xu Ji: "In this way, the lord can go around Yecheng more and see the development of Yecheng."
Xu Ji smiled when he heard this: "With you here, what else do I have to worry about?" But I'd love to meet a few people. ”
Liang Xi, Chen Zhi and Xin Ping were stunned, not knowing who Xu Ji wanted to see.
Xu Ji smiled and said: "Chen Palace, they have also lived in Yecheng for a long time, so many guests have come to my Yecheng, if I, the master, don't you see me, wouldn't it be unreasonable?" That's rude. The crowd laughed.
In a short time, the important enemies captured in the entire Battle of Gunzhou were brought to the hall of Xu Ji's reception one by one.
Everyone here was dejected, only that Chen Gong looked proud, and it seemed that Xu Ji was not taken to heart at all. Xu Ji didn't bother to pay attention to him, it was difficult for a diehard like this to bow his head to himself. I don't have the patience of Cao Cao, so it's a big deal to kill Zhang Miao with him, which can be regarded as buying one and getting one free.
What interests Xu Ji is which Yuan family's traitor Yuan Jian, although this kid has low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but he can be regarded as vivid, at least he saved his life, and Xu Ji wants to use this Yuan Jian to deal with Yuan Shao in the future. When Xu Jicai was about to speak, he heard a moving voice and said, "Lord, the concubine is here." ”
When Xu Ji heard this, he immediately secretly screamed in his heart, how did this disaster come again?
Although Xu Ji selectively forgot that he had taken this disaster lightly, but the matter had already been done, Xu Ji naturally recognized it, but at this time he really didn't want to see this trouble come to the door, after all, he couldn't be as cheeky as Cao Cao and treat it as if he didn't have it.
There is no doubt that it is Mrs. Zhang.
When Xu Ji and Chen Zhi looked at the door, they saw Mrs. Zhang shining brightly today. "Can you hand over Zhen Fu to the slave family?" (To be continued......)
