And those very unlucky, by Liang Xi as the first target of the Black Mountain Army to drive out the Montenegrin army of the family family was eager to find a way to find a way to survive the family family killed, helpless, had to go to Liang Xi for help, Liang Xi at this time of course the lion opened his mouth, put forward a much more stringent requirements than the original, first of all, the clan soldiers must all be handed over to Liang Xi, secondly, the grain and grass of these clan soldiers must be provided by these family clans, until the end of the Yanzhou war.

At this time, where do these families have anything to say? Of course, actively cooperate with Liang Xi, although this is cutting meat in their hearts, but it is better than being exterminated by the Montenegrin army, right?

A large number of military rations and clan soldiers quickly accumulated into Liang Xi's hands, but Liang Xi was not in a hurry to send troops, and said that he wanted to rectify military discipline, and the result was that most of these clan soldiers were restored to their freedom because of "unqualified inspections" and asked them to go to farming.

Because there is now a large amount of wasteland in Yanzhou that is uncultivated, these peasant soldiers who originally had no land to grow have become homesteaders with their own land. And Liang Xi came to a favor again, and gave the military rations provided by those big families to these yeoman farmers as their food for the winter. As a result, the manor economy of the Yanzhou family was initially damaged.

The most ridiculous thing is that those big families found out after the end of the Yanzhou war that the peasants under their control were pitiful and could not cultivate so much land, and Liang Xi took advantage of the fire to loot and put forward a policy of selling land, forcing the big families to sell their land. But that's another story.

The submission of the first batch of clans further weakened the strength of the Yanzhou clans, and the Montenegrin army also gained a lot of benefits in this, and gradually recovered its former atmosphere a little. In this way, those families who have not yielded are even more miserable. Originally, some of the big families who didn't know the power of the Black Mountain Army realized how stupid they were after fighting with the Black Mountain Army.

In desperation, there is only one way to learn. Xiang Liang Xi gave in. It's just that as the second batch of families who cooperated with Liang Xi, they were suppressed even more by Liang Xi.

After the double suppression of the Montenegrin Army and Liang Xidi, the family of Yanzhou finally came to the end of history after a great loss of strength, although their strength is still strong in a short period of time, but after all, time is running out.

Xu Ji, who had long known that the Dao was the result of this, held the first large-scale expedition in Chenliu not long after becoming the assassin of Yanzhou, and after this expedition, a large number of outstanding talents came to the fore. Most of them are children of the poor family, of course, the most eye-catching are the students who studied in Yingchuan Academy back then, although there are still many children of the big families, but under Xu Ji's brainwashing policy and the role of Xun Yu, their thoughts have begun to detach themselves from their family interests, and they are closer to the children of the poor family.

These recruited talents were immediately sent to Yanzhou, and under the arrangement of Liang Xi, they occupied various important positions in the Yanzhou government. In addition, after the restructuring, the division of labor among various departments within the government is extremely clear, and there are many departments that must have professional knowledge to be competent, and where can the children of the family master this knowledge? can only watch his family have nothing to do with state and county affairs. As for the objections they raised, they were immediately suppressed by Liang Xi by various means. Coupled with the fact that this was the time when Xu Ji was at his most in the limelight, where did they dare to say anything?

With the stabilization of the situation in Yanzhou, the Montenegrin army was finally cornered again. Finally, in the winter of 192 AD, there was infighting because of the question of where the Montenegrin army should go, and Zhang Yan once again showed a super ability to contain the chaos. He quickly eliminated those who opposed him in the Black Mountain Army, and Bai Huan and the others were in different places. Subsequently. Zhang Yan led the remaining 50,000 Montenegrin troops to surrender to Liang Xi, who was overjoyed and accepted the surrender, and reorganized the Montenegrin army, and promised Zhang Yan that the army would be returned to him, but Zhang Yan wanted to go to Jizhou to meet Xu Ji in person. Of course, Zhang Yan was full of promises.

What Xu Ji was holding in his hand at this time was Liang Xi who sent someone to send a letter to explain this matter, Zhang Yan's ability Xu Ji knew the way, and he always felt that although there were many talents in this part of Bocai, there were few people who gave advice, although Bocai himself has been good since he settled down, but he alone is always a bit lonely, and now with Zhang Yan, it is different. What I have to do now is to stabilize Zhang Yan's heart after seeing Zhang Yan, and ask him to truly surrender to him. Only in this way will Zhang Yan fully assist Zang Ba.

Putting down the letter sent to him by Liang Xi, Xu Ji picked up the letter sent to him by Guo Jia again. The letter is much more interestingly written, full of hints that it was written by a smart person.

Guo Jia began by explaining to Xu Ji his joy at returning to Qingzhou to "recuperate", and immediately, Guo Jia made a request in the letter, hoping that Xu Ji would send a general to Youzhou.

Xu Ji felt very strange, because Guo Jia was far away in Chenliu at this time, and he seemed to be thinking a little too far, but when he saw the back, he understood Guo Jia's good intentions, it turned out that Guo Jia thought that Youzhou only needed one general to wait and see the situation, and there was no need to leave Gao Shun's army there, that is, the main camp to seize Xuzhou had been determined, Guo Jia plus Gao Shun and Xun Chen, all aspects of internal affairs, foreign affairs and military affairs. It's scary to think about such a lineup. And Xu Ji also knew that Gao Shun would return to Jizhou in the near future to report to himself.

For Xuzhou, Xu Ji's only concern is Cao Cao's movements, I don't know if it's a heart or what, Xu Ji feels that the two are avoiding meeting, although Cao Cao and himself often have correspondence, but only talk about Fengyue, not about politics, I feel that the two are still close, but they are finally separated.

Xu Ji knew that he had never given Cao Cao a chance to develop, that is, he didn't want to face Cao Cao in the future, and the Cao Cao he wanted to see was not a "hero in troubled times", but a "capable minister who ruled the world" who would assist him in governing the world in the future.

However, Cao Cao may not see himself like this, and now he is still loyal to the Han family, but he is afraid that he is also doubting his intentions.

Xu Ji shook his head and didn't think about him.

Guo Jia's letter was later written about the issue of the war between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu, who was now aggressive, but Liu Yu was undecided. However, the most difficult person is Liu Bei, on the other hand, he is his royal family. On the other hand, he is his own brother. According to the course of history, Gongsun Zhan eliminated Liu Yu after the most reluctance. However, there are Liu Bei's variables, so it is not necessarily. What does the future hold? Xu Ji is looking forward to it.

There were other official documents on the table, but those were all internal affairs of Jizhou. With Liang Xi here, Xu Jiyuan doesn't have to worry too much. In the past six months, Liang Xi has gained a firm foothold in Jizhou, and no one has the slightest doubt in other abilities, even if Xu Ji leaves Jizhou, Liang Xi can stabilize the situation in Jizhou, and the other part of the talents recruited are of course sent here to serve as officials. And because of Xu Ji's presence in Jizhou, Liang Xi could let go of what he did, and it didn't take much effort to complete what Liang Xi did in Chenliu, and the soldiers of the Jizhou family were completely turned into homesteaders.

Of course, the Zhen family has no opinion, after all, Mrs. Zhang's handle is still in Xu Ji's hands. The Zhen family had no opinion, and others didn't dare to speak out, and then, Liang Xi began to build a large number of civilian schools in Jizhou, and began to brainwash Jizhou in the future.

Looking at the table full of official documents. Xu Ji stretched comfortably, stood up, and stood by the window.

There was a knock on the door, but Xu Jitou did not reply. said indifferently: "Come in." ”

The door opened, and footsteps began behind him.

Xu Jitou didn't reply: "Ziyu, it's cold outside." Why don't you come in yet? ”

Liang Xi behind him was not surprised at all why Xu Ji knew that Lu Dao was here by himself, for this unfathomable lord. Liang Xi was only in deep awe. From the time when Chen Jun met until now, Xu Ji has given people more and more majesty. This change made Liang Xi surrender to Xu Ji wholeheartedly.

Xu Ji turned around, looked at Liang Xi with a smile and said, "Is there a distinguished guest arriving?" Is it Zhang Yan, or is Zihe back? ”

Hearing Xu Ji's words, Liang Xi's face showed a smile and smiled at Xu Ji: "The lord guessed wrong this time, these two people came together." ”

Xu Ji didn't think it was angry at all, and said with a smile: "The matter of double happiness is unavoidable, who knew that these two people are so complete." ”

Liang Xi smiled: "This kind of thing is very rare, by the way, my lord, it's already noon, and you haven't eaten yet, do you want to meet the two of you after eating first?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, I see that the two of them haven't eaten yet, so it's better to call the two of them and eat with me." Liang Xi answered, turned around and was about to leave. Xu Ji stopped him, thought for a while, and said, "You go and call Zhang He and Gao Ran, I have something to find them." ”

Liang Xi nodded, and couldn't help but say, "Does the lord want to use troops externally?" However, his subordinates feel that it is not appropriate to use troops now, after all, Jizhou was initially decided, and your little family has already consumed a lot in order to deal with the consumption of Jizhou and Yanzhou, and it is really not easy to use swords and soldiers now. ”

Xu Ji glanced at Liang Xi and said: "You are an internal affairs talent after all, and you don't know much about military affairs, what do you think I transferred back to Zihe for?" ”

Liang Xi looked at Xu Ji with a blank look on his face for some reason, and Xu Ji smiled: "Forget it, I won't understand what is going on, but I can tell you that I want to send Zhang He and Gao Ran to Youzhou to keep an eye on Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, and Youzhou is also in my plan." ”

Liang Xi's face showed an expression of "I see", and then he said strangely: "Why didn't the lord send Chen to the general?" ”

Xu Ji smiled noncommittally, and didn't answer him, he had other arrangements to hand over to Chen Dao.

Xu Ji deeply knows that in this troubled era, the army that bravely serves the death is indispensable, although the military system of the army under his command has been ahead of the entire era, but there is one thing that has a great impact on the morale of the army, that is, hero worship, under his command, when it comes to those old soldiers who admire him Xu Ji, over the years, he has stepped step by step to his current status has become a major spiritual pillar for them, but Xu Ji knows that he is a superior person, although the war will become more and more frequent in the future, But there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to get hands-on on the battlefield. And with the expansion of his territory, he will be more and more skilled.

Therefore, Xu Jizhi said that these soldiers of his own need a new object of worship, which must not only be convincing in martial arts, but also that as soon as this person is mentioned, people will naturally think of themselves, so that there will be two "idol-level" figures in their own army.

The best candidate for this person is, of course, the famous Chen Dao.

It's just that Chen's current reputation is not enough, although Chen Zhi became famous in the pursuit of Xu Rong, but later. Chen Zhi did not have any proud achievements, although he pretended to be a robber in Jizhou to rob the grain. But not many people know about this matter, and. It's not much to make a big deal about.

However, now that Jizhou is under his control, there is no need to keep this matter secret, and it just so happens that he is letting a group of people write what "Jizhou Fengyunlu" for Guo Jia's affairs, Chen Zhi is of course the second actor in this book, I believe that once this book is broadcast and sold, Chen Zhi will immediately become a household name in the two states.

Of course, this matter is still far away, and it will not be made public until Yuan Shao becomes his own ghost. The only thing Xu Ji can do now is for Chen Zhi to follow him to the battlefield more and give Chen Zhi more opportunities to perform. Therefore, Xu Ji will definitely not send Chen Zhi to Youzhou.

Liang Xi saw that Xu Ji didn't speak, so he bowed down and was about to go out, but was stopped by Xu Ji again, who smiled and said, "By the way, what has happened to the Zhen family recently?" ”

Liang Xi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The Zhen family is very honest, since the 50,000 clan soldiers were completely handed over to us to deal with, today that Zhen Yan came to his subordinates and took the initiative to ask for the sale of land. The strangest thing is. I have repeatedly said that there is not a lot of money in the Jizhou treasury to buy their land, but Zhen Yan said that it can be purchased by installments, and the Zhen family will hand over the land first, so that the soldiers who originally belonged to the Zhen family and have no land to plant can cultivate. It also solves our big problem. ”

When Xu Ji heard this, he sneered in his heart: "Those who know the times are handsome", Mrs. Zhang knew her impression of her. And he's guarding against her, that's why he has the current move. Although in the short term, the Zhen family will have a great loss. But he can win a lot of long-term benefits, just like now, he knows that Mrs. Zhang is scheming, but he still can't help but thank Mrs. Zhang.

It seems that if you don't give the Zhen family any benefits, it's really unreasonable!

Just thinking about it, Liang Xi said again: "I think the Zhen family is so active and has something to do with the Xin family, and now the Xin family has a lot of places to work against the Zhen family." ”

Xu Ji said casually: "It doesn't matter, what I want to do now is to deprive the family of control over the land, and everything else is secondary." The Xin family is the same, I think it's not bad to have the Xin family and the Zhen family sing against each other. Let them make trouble, Liang Xi, you give me a firm hold on to Jizhou, this is the most important thing. ”

Liang Xi nodded, and when he saw that Xu Ji didn't speak anymore, he went out.

After a while, her own maid came into the house to prepare lunch, and for a while, a few dishes and four pairs of dishes and chopsticks were put on the table. Looking at the steaming meal, Xu Ji felt hungry and hurriedly sat down and munched on the case. When he was gobbling up, he saw Liang Xi leading the two into the house.

When Xu Ji looked up, he saw that the person walking on the right side of Liang Xi was a tall and thin man, and before he could see what he looked like, a feeling of lightness and elegance came to his face, and the whole person seemed to be full of bouncing power as if a spring was installed under his feet, looking up at the person's appearance, a white face with two beards, and the most unforgettable thing was that this person's sword eyebrows actually slanted down. It makes the originally handsome and extraordinary face feel a little gloomy, but it is undeniable that it is this eyebrow that makes this person's temperament show a sense of stability in the light and elegant. On the left is Xu Ji's old subordinates, the only commanders of the trapped camp, Gao Shun and Gao Zihe.

Xu Ji stood up, strode towards Zhang Yan, and said with a smile: "General Zhang Yan, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. After saying this, he greeted Gao Shun on the other side cordially.

Of course, Gao Shun knew that Zhang Yan was a newly surrendered enemy, so it was very normal for Xu Ji to ignore himself and greet Zhang Yan first, but now seeing that Xu Ji actually greeted him while comforting Zhang Yan with kind words, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Zhang Yan was overwhelmed by Xu Ji's sudden enthusiasm, and was quite flattered, not knowing what to say to Xu Ji.

Xu Ji didn't care at all, beckoned the three of them to sit down, and asked them to eat with him.

Liang Xi and Gao Shun have followed Xu Ji for a long time, of course, they know that Xu Ji is informal, as long as it is not a formal occasion, he is like a brother to his subordinates, and he is not so particular about it, of course, when talking about business, he is naturally as majestic as a mountain. Therefore, he sat unceremoniously on the side of Xu Ji, and ate the dishes and chopsticks. After only taking two bites, he found that Zhang Yan was looking at the two of them dumbfounded, as if something had grown on his face, and he couldn't help but put down the dishes and chopsticks and touched his face.

The dumbfounded appearance of the three people made Xu Ji laugh, and hurriedly smiled: "What are you doing standing there?" Don't eat with me? ”

Zhang Yan woke up like a dream, and hurriedly sat down and learned to gobble up Liang Xi.

At this time, Xu Ji had already eaten almost, so he personally picked up the dishes for the three of them, Liang Xi and Gao Shun accepted it calmly, Zhang Yan was very unnatural, but he also took it respectfully. After Gao Shun took the dish that Xu Ji gave him, he smiled at Xu Ji and said, "Lord, how can you still be so leisurely?" ”

When Xu Ji heard this, he replied with a smile: "The big thing is decided, how can there be no idleness?" But then there's a lot of work. ”

After saying this, Xu Ji looked at Zhang Yan, who was still a little nervous, and said with a smile: "In this world, people and people will naturally be divided into three, six, nine and so on, after all, each has its own background, of course, it is difficult to be fair, but there are some things that everyone is equal, such as eating, drinking, and sleeping, these things have to be done no matter how noble your identity is, so everyone is equal when eating, there is no difference between up and down, although the things you eat may be different, but you have to chew with your mouth, so there is nothing that you can't let go." These words were originally said to Zhang Yan. When Zhang Yan heard this, his body was shocked, because Xu Ji's words remembered some things, Xu Ji seemed to see through Zhang Yan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "In fact, as long as you don't take away other people's right to eat and sleep, the world will be peaceful." Hearing this, Zhang Yan, the leader of the peasant rebel army, nodded again and again.

Xu Ji knew that he had successfully entered Zhang Yan's heart, looked at Zhang Yan and said with a smile: "I know that General Zhang Yan understands this truth, so he will ask Yuanyi to give the Black Mountain Army a chance." ”

Zhang Yan lowered her head when she heard this, but thought in her heart: Give me a chance? I think it's true that we borrowed the hands of our Black Mountain Army to deal with the clans of Yanzhou.

Of course, Xu Ji knew what Zhang Yan was thinking, and said with a smile: "I'll show you a letter." With that, he stood up and picked up a letter from the desk in his office and handed it to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan took the letter for some reason, and when she saw it, she realized that it was a letter to Xu Ji that was only sent to Xu Ji a month ago. At that time, it was a time of infighting in the Montenegrin army. Zhang Yan opened the letter and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. (To be continued......)
