Chapter 82: My Journey (End)
And when Xu Ji arrived at Dian Wei's location, he had to be surprised by Dian Wei's efficiency, and he even grabbed the "tongue", obviously this was left to Xu Ji to interrogate himself, but Xu Ji was not interested in doing this kind of thing, all he cared about was the result. As for the process, Xu Ji didn't care, and through Dian Wei's words, he was enough to judge the authenticity.
And the choice in front of Xu Ji is already very clear, and the only way to break through this is to make a move. Xu Ji didn't want to delay any longer, he was eager to solve his problem, and he had already spent too much time on his layout and planning.
If her inference is not wrong, the situation in the world will change dramatically next, he doesn't know what role Lu Dao will play in this game, but he knows that Lu Dao has one thing, that is, Xu Ji will no longer act as a chess piece, even if he can't be a chess player hidden behind the scenes, at least it is an existence that people can't easily use.
His worry now is Zhang Miao, the situation has changed too quickly, since Zhang Jiao's death, he has lost his accurate judgment of the situation, and the Yellow Turban's retreat has also made his time become less and less, and he has not even taken down half of Chen Liubi now, which is enough to make him impatient. It is still unknown how Zhang Miao will treat him, Xu Ji knows very well that what he is doing now has greatly violated Zhang Miao's interests and power, which is obviously not a trivial matter. When you don't have the ability to fully protect yourself, all you get is just illusory.
At this moment, Xu Ji can no longer continue his slow prediction, if he can't take Jiwu vigorously, then the longer the time drags on, the more variables will be, he can't guarantee that Zhang Miao won't stab him behind him, this guy is not a simple commodity, the speed at which he retracted Chen Liubei is far above Xu Ji, Xu Ji can be sure that he will soon be able to use his free hand to deal with himself, and he was originally Zhang Miao's subordinate, naturally it is impossible to forcibly violate it, the only thing he can do is to make him dare not attack Xu Ji, And this is completely pinned on Guo Jia's plan for Xiangyi and the public opinion pressure that Xun Yu can give. It's just that Xu Ji knows very well that these can only be blocked for a while, and the more he grows his strength, the deeper Zhang Miao's jealousy, the greater the danger Xu Ji faces, no one knows when Zhang Miao will suddenly make a move, Xu Ji doesn't want to take risks, he doesn't have the capital to bet that he will be able to correctly judge Zhang Miao's psychology, and what he has now will never be easily handed over, for him, the most important thing is to save the lives of himself and these subordinates who work for him, and then his strength and territory.
However, he can't show his worries, now once he messes up, the consequence is that the military will be shaken, not to mention that this is his chance to succeed, as long as he finds out the fatal evidence, then no matter what he does in his own Wu Zhang Miao can't stop it, and he can also take the opportunity to take away more rights from Zhang Miao, and his fame and prestige will also be greatly improved, once he has enough fame, he can also let Zhang Miao restrain him, As long as he is cautious and doesn't make too many mistakes, then Zhang Miao doesn't dare to do anything to himself.
And it is precisely because of such considerations and efforts that this battle is imperative.
But Xu Ji knew that he would lose his righteousness in the first place by using the sword soldiers, and he didn't have enough evidence and support, but Xu Ji was not worried, Dian Wei would obviously find out this. Xu Ji's worry is whether these soldiers in his hands are really enough to take down these thieves hidden in the mountains, if he can't be effective this time, then it will be even more difficult to make a difference, not to mention whether he can gather more soldiers, even if there will be no more opportunities, and once his vigilance is raised again, then it is almost impossible to find the flaw, Xu Ji must succeed in a battle, which is also his requirement for Gao Shun.
"I don't want anything else this time, I just want a big win. Remember, it's the big win. ”
Gao Shun naturally doesn't need to understand too much about Xu Ji's words, he just needs to know that Xu Ji wants him to win, and he has enough confidence to win, although this is not the terrain he is good at, but with the elite level under his command, it is obviously not a problem to solve this small problem. But is it really that simple? No one knows what to do.
And Xu Ji's order has been issued, and now it is only waiting for Dian Wei to find out that the lair of this thief is the day that Bing Feng is referring to.
Whether it was Gao Shun or Dian Wei, they didn't know what Xu Ji's plan was, and they naturally wouldn't know about Xu Ji's worries and concerns. However, this may be a good thing for them, for the sake of the general's not to be a foreign object to hold the mind and not to disturb the mind for trivial matters. And Xu Ji naturally won't say these things, Gao Shun doesn't need Xu Ji's spur, and Dian Wei is even more earnest. They don't need more pressure, Xu Ji himself is naturally under pressure, but he is the superior, and this is the responsibility he must bear.
Everything was going according to Xu Ji's plan, but he unexpectedly had a feeling of uneasiness, not to say anything, as if there was a beast staring at him behind him, and this ominous premonition made Xu Ji a little afraid. It's just that now that the arrow is on the bow, it is no longer the time for him to have enough time to think about it, the so-called military risky moves, sometimes it is difficult to achieve his goals without taking risks, although he took the risk that he didn't understand, but Xu Ji still gave the order blatantly.
Immediately Dian Wei led people to set off again, he was the vanguard, responsible for only exploring, that is, acting as a scout, and Gao Shun led the troops behind, this trip Xu Ji also accompanied the army, although Gao Shun and Dian Wei were against him personally taking risks, but Xu Ji refused on the grounds that the main general was in the Chinese army, of course he did not want to take risks, but he had to ensure that he could solve it when Gao Shun encountered a bad war.
Dian Wei looked at the partners around him, these are the friends he has made since childhood, and now that he has joined Xu Ji, they will naturally work for Xu Ji with him, but Dian Wei is still sorry, these are bloody Jianghu men, it must be difficult to withstand the restrictions of the army, but because of himself and devote himself to it, this love Dian Wei naturally understands and feels in his heart, but he knows that this time is not the time for him to be sentimental, Dian Wei turned around and looked at the mountains and forests in front of him, and roared: "Go." ”
Then the group of people silently and quickly acted, these people are all perennial in this business, they are all light and swift people, naturally it is far away Gao Shun's heavy armor soldiers left behind, but Dian Wei is still quite surprised by the elite degree of Gao Shun's soldiers, if it is one-on-one, he is confident that his brothers are easy to deal with, but if Gao Shun's soldiers form a battle formation, even if there are ten times as many heroes and thieves as his brothers, they are definitely not opponents, which also makes Dian Wei realize the difference between officials and heroes, Fighting alone is naturally more powerful than the heroic thieves who wander on the tip of the blade all year round, but the face-to-face battle array rushes and kills, and there is less room for flickering and maneuvering, and only these truly trained soldiers are more powerful.
Of course, at this time, Dian Wei was just sighing, he had already discovered the situation, the forest in front of him seemed to have traces of being trampled, this is not a trace that can be formed by a person walking through, judging from the traces alone, this is a trail formed over a long period of time, although there is a deliberate cover-up, but Dian Wei can see at a glance that there is a path under these weeds, and there are no traces of plant growth on it, indicating that people often walk on it. He raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop moving forward temporarily, he squatted down and picked up the grass above, there was an incomplete line of footprints, and someone next to him asked in a low voice, "Why did my brother stop?" ”
Dian Wei smiled: "No need to go, follow this road, and naturally we can find the person we are looking for." The man who was asking on the side was puzzled: "How does my brother know the Tao?" ”
Dian Wei smiled and pointed to the traces on the ground and said: "Look at this line of footprints, this is not something that a person can step on in a day, and look at this, these half footprints, doesn't such a trace mean that there must be people walking on this road?" After a pause, Dian Wei said, "Have you ever seen Orion come to such a place on weekdays? In this case, there must be something strange here. At this time, Xu Ji had already arrived, he looked at Dian Wei and the others stopped in place, and asked, "What is stagnant?" ”
Dian Wei said respectfully: "Lord Postmaster, look here, the thief's hiding has been exposed. Xu Ji squatted down to take a closer look, then smiled, he looked up and said to Dian Wei: "Very good, in this case, let's rest first, next, I'm afraid there will be a big battle." ”
Dian Wei nodded in understanding, and then frowned again and asked, "What about Zihe General?" Why haven't you seen him yet? ”
Xu Ji showed a wry smile: "Zi and his subordinates are all heavily armored soldiers, and this is a mountain forest, I am afraid that he will have a lot of time to come, and even if he comes, he will have to wait for the soldiers under his command to recover their strength." Dian Wei also smiled bitterly when he heard this, Dian Wei originally didn't think of this problem, but now when he heard Xu Ji's words, he immediately realized the problem, Gao Shun pulled down to the plain for fear that it would be difficult to meet the opponent, but between the mountains and forests, I am afraid it will be difficult to play, and from the speed of their march, it can be seen that Gao Shun's subordinates are afraid that it is difficult to maintain too much combat effectiveness, and thinking of this, Dian Wei's face became serious.
"Lord Postmaster, are you ......?"
Xu Ji nodded and did not speak.
Dian Wei immediately understood that the main combat strength of this battle only depends on his old brothers, as for Gao Shun's subordinates, they can only withstand the positive pressure, and when it comes to the battle between the mountains and forests, Gao Shun has the heart but the strength is not enough.
Xu Ji looked up at the sky and said in a low voice: "Wait another hour, no matter what, you have to do it." ”
Xu Ji has already seen the end of his trip, whether it is success or failure, it is only in one move.
