Chapter Seventy-Four: My Journey (1)
After Xu Ji made up his mind, he started very quickly, not to mention that all aspects of Yu County had already made preparations, and Xu Ji set off on the third day after informing Gao Shun.
And looking at the more than 800 people behind him, Xu Ji couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and then he only brought Gao Shun to Jiwu, Yu County still needs a general to sit in the town, originally he could also take Xu Qian, but Guo Jia borrowed him, and Bo Cai belonged to Guo Jia, so Xu Ji was the only one by his side. And Xu Ji sighed that since he left Yingchuan, there have always been only so many people around him who can be trusted, and Chen Zhi, who has always been with him, did not accompany him this time, although his strength and strength have increased visibly with the naked eye, but there are fewer and fewer people around him.
And when he and Chen Zhi avoided trouble and left Yingyin, who would have thought that they would have today's achievements? Xu Ji couldn't help but smile, and Gao Shun on the side saw Xu Ji laughing, so he asked, "Why is the Lord laughing?" ”
Xu Ji turned his head to look at Gao Shun, and then laughed and said, "It's just that I want to feel emotional when I first entered this troubled world." General Gao, do you know what happened to me back then? ”
Gao Shun replied respectfully with an expressionless face: "I don't know, but the Lord has achieved today, and the experience must not be simple." Hearing this, Xu Ji shook his head and said, "Back then, I was afraid and didn't expect this situation, just to live, take one step at a time." Don't talk about this, the general has no words so far, why don't I give the general a word? Xu Ji suddenly said with great interest.
Gao Shun was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "If the Lord is willing, it will naturally be better." ”
Xu Ji lowered his head and thought about it when he heard this, pulled the reins and said, "The general's name is good, so how about calling him a son?" This is also the meaning of inheriting the word Shun, the so-called harmony, naturally with excellent expectations.
And Gao Shun is naturally happy to receive it, for a humble family like him, there is no word, and he may not even have a word until he dies, and this is generally given by his parents or teachers, and Xu Ji, who is the lord of Gao Shun, is naturally more meaningful.
Of course, Xu Ji is only a momentary interest, but this is also a means to win people's hearts, and Xu Ji is naturally very good at playing now. However, Xu Ji was never distracted by these things, he turned his head and asked, "Does Zihe think that there will be a battle between Zihe and Jiwu?" ”
Although Gao Shun is not a person with good political vision, he is extremely sensitive when it comes to matters between battle formations, and he is very indifferent to Xu Ji's question: "If they start from the origin of the Lord's trip, they naturally dare not start the war, after all, the Lord holds the post of post supervisor, which is the name of righteousness." It's just that the lord's trip is to take back his jurisdiction, so it's hard to say, not to mention that this time the lord only brought the lowly department, I'm afraid that I won't let go of this opportunity. ”
Xu Ji nodded, he also agreed with Gao Shun's words, but the reason why Xu Ji only brought Gao Shun's department was to show the enemy to be weak, after all, he was worried that his side would not leave any handle for himself, and his own such flamboyant inspection only brought Gao Shun's department to lure the enemy. Xu Ji is very clear about the combat effectiveness of this elite under Gao Shun, and he is confident that he will be able to take down Jiwu with these 800 people. Of course, the premise is that we have the courage to attack ourselves.
However, these are Xu Ji's unilateral speculations after all, no one can confirm what kind of attitude Jiwu maintains towards Xu Ji, which is also Xu Ji's concern, if he can't take Jiwu's own expansion pace will be blocked, and sticking to Yuxian greatly violates Xu Ji's original plan, and now Xiangyi is even more urgent for a while, which makes Xu Ji have to find a breakthrough from Jiwu. In fact, although the situation in Yuxian County has changed greatly after Xu Ji became the owner, this is Xu Ji using the assets of the Yuxian family to support the entire Yuxian County, and this is not a long-term strategy, Chen Qing may have no opinion on this, but it is difficult to say about the rest of the families in Yuxian.
Xu Ji is eager to master a trade route that can connect Jingxiang, and this will also be compensation to alleviate the family's deprivation of political discourse, otherwise the backlash caused by the transition of the family will make all Xu Ji's hard work go to waste.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Xu Ji has to speed up his pace of conquering Jiwu, in fact, if he can take Xiangyi, the wealth of Xiangyi is enough to supply Yuxian and give Xu Ji the capital to expand his strength, but as Guo Jia said, Xiangyi at this time is not something he can touch, and the wealthy families of Xiangyi will only be more and more powerful than Yuxian, Xu Ji will not choose to take risks easily before he is sure that he can solve this trouble.
However, the blueprint built by Mao Jie for Xu Ji must have capital that can provide Xu Ji's expansion, and now Xu Ji is just supervising the post, and there is a Zhang Miao on top who may cause trouble to Xu Ji at any time. So Xu Ji, who can't raise troops to subdue Chen Liu in a violent way, can only expand cautiously through this means, and now Zhang Miao must be wary of Xu Ji, Xu Ji must strengthen himself enough to be able to compete with Zhang Miao before Zhang Miao solves all the troubles in the north of Chen Liu, and then he can ensure that his series of actions will not become empty.
Fortunately, Guo Jia has already responded to the Xiangyi incident, and I think this move can play a big enough role in the future. Now there is only one trouble in front of Xu Ji, no matter how difficult it is, this cannot stop Xu Ji.
However, Yuxian is not close to Jiwu, and Xu Ji specially slowed down the speed of the march in order to allow Jiwu's prefect and family to have enough time to react, and this road was regarded as an inspection.
However, these things are also left to Gao Shun to do, Xu Ji has no leisure to take care of these things now, and the only thing he is worried about now is when Guo Jia will go to Xiangyi, as well as the safety of this close friend.
And at this time, Guo Jia also began to prepare nervously, this time Xu Ji's Xiangyi expedition plan was not just to solve Xiangyi, he was also ready to really establish a shadow in Xiangyi, and this plan was naturally not informed to Xu Ji. Guo Jia is very aware of the autonomy and extremely relaxed environment he has in the affairs of Xiangyi, but this does not mean that Guo Jia traveled to Xiangyi, and the burden on his shoulders is even greater than Xun You. Xun You only needs to sit in Yu County and settle down in the rear, whether it is Guo Jia or Xu Ji, he doesn't need more help from Yu County. But what Guo Jia had to face after going to Xiangyi was to start from scratch and build up momentum from scratch, which was not a simple matter.
And Guo Jia soon waited for the person he had been waiting for, Xi Zhong.
This person came from Yingchuan under Guo Jia's persuasion, but he didn't say that he would work, and the reason why he didn't come with Guo Jia was because Guo Jia was really nervous and didn't have time to inform him. And Xi Zhong is also a family person, so he really can't come as easily as Guo Jia without these ties. Guo Jia did not inform Xu Ji of this because he was not sure whether he would serve Xu Ji, and it would be extremely uneconomical to delay Xu Ji's major event of going to Jiwu.
And after seeing Xi Zhong, Guo Jia only said one sentence to Xi Zhong: "Zhicai is here, and my achievements are also." ”
And for Guo Jia's words, Xi Zhong was extremely puzzled, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Guo Jia then told Xi Zhong about the reason, Xi Zhong is also a person with a general temperament like Guo Jia, and he was also very interesting when he heard this, and Guo Jia naturally understood that Xi Zhong would never miss this matter, so he also told Xi Zhong that Xu Ji was not in Yu County now, so it was better to go to Xiangyi together.
And there is a reason why Guo Jia doesn't want to keep Xi Zhong in Yu County, this guy gambles and drinks, if these things reach Xu Ji's ears before Xu Ji knows his talent, not to mention whether Xi Zhong will serve Xu Ji after the most Lu is not a good thing. Guo Jiake is not confident enough to guarantee that Xu Ji can tolerate such a "romantic" character except for him Guo Fengxiao.
So the day after Xu Ji left, Guo Jia also left. His destination was Xiangyi.
And in addition to Bocai Xu Qian, who followed Guo Jia, there were also a group of capable subordinates who were Xi Zhong. Guo Jia is full of confidence in his trip, no matter how difficult Xiangyi is, he believes that it will become easy under the plan of himself and Xi Zhong.
For this new young man who seems to be a prodigal man, Bo Cai naturally did not show too much, after all, he is a person who has experienced a lot of ups and downs, since such a person can be valued by Guo Jia, he naturally has the ability. But Xu Qian is different, there are very few people he admires, except for his own master, Guo Jia, who has seen the ability in Yingchuan, and this sloppy Xi Zhong made him extremely unhappy, because he didn't give Xi Zhong any good looks, but he had his own waves to stop him, although there was a bit of disharmony along the way, but nothing major happened.
But this has caused Guo Jia a big trouble, Xi Zhong and Xu Qian don't deal with each other, and they can rely on their own and Xu Ji's power to make Xu Qian soft, but it will inevitably be a little inconvenient, not to mention that there will be many things for Xu Qian to contribute in the future. As for Guo Jia's troubles, Xi Zhong just chuckled and said: "I have my own way to convince him, Fengxiao doesn't have to worry, but these people under your lord's command are very distinctive." ”
Guo Jia naturally didn't hear the ridicule in his words, so he smiled bitterly: "The so-called eclectic appointment of talents, if they are really people who have no ability, how can they be promoted?" ”
Xi Zhong smiled: "Naturally, I'm just joking, I went to Xiangyi with you this time, I don't think that scar-faced man with little speech is not simple." "Xi Zhong's vision has always been vicious, and this Guo Jia knows the truth. And Xi Zhong's words also aroused Guo Jia's curiosity: "Why don't you tell me how everyone under my lord's command is?" ”
Xi Zhong Dalu said with a smile: "Xun You is a talent for planning, needless to say. And I look at Mao Jie, although it is not obvious, but it can also be of great use, but I can also look down on these two people in Yuxian. ”
"Uncle Chen?"
Xi Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and said slowly: "It's just Erer now, but in a few years, he will become a generation of handsome talents." ”
Guo Jia was stunned, shook his head and chuckled: "I want to know what you will say about the Lord." ”
Xi Zhong also smiled: "I will know then." ”
