Chapter 138: Difficulty
After entering the West Garden, it is natural that each ministry will return to its own place and perform its own duties. However, Liu Hong can see from the arrangement of several units of the West Garden Army who is respected in today's West Garden, and this person is really not Xu Ji, but Yuan Shao, and the second seat is Cao Cao, Xu Ji can only be ranked before Xia Mu in the remaining seven departments, which is a big surprise to Liu Hong.
Of course, Liu Hong didn't expect that Xu Ji had unilaterally broken the relationship between the two.
In fact, the so-called military parade is just a formality, if He Jin does not accompany him, everything is just a formality, but this general can't be perfunctory when he comes, although the general who nominally leads the world's soldiers and horses is not so powerful, but only in Luoyang, that is probably still very effective. As for the rest, I can't take care of it too much for a while.
However, as far as He Jin is concerned, he is not from a family, nor is he a real soldier, in fact, this guy can't see any way, but he can't see it doesn't mean that his cronies around him can't see this, so He Jin soon noticed the gap between these soldiers, of course, the real purpose of He Jin's trip is not to have the intention of annexing Xiyuan, he is purely just looking for Xu Ji's provocation.
Therefore, when all the captains of the West Garden were performing their own soldiers, He Jin suddenly got up and said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, the ministers have long heard that the horses are strict in governing the army, and the elite of the soldiers and soldiers under his command far exceed the rest of the soldiers in the West Garden. He Jin's words are naked, he wants to find Xu Ji's stubble, if Liu Hong has a little sense of being an elder, he will refuse. But where does Liu Hong still have any favor at this time? He couldn't wait to regain power, so he didn't hesitate to tear his face and force Xu Ji to block the knife from He Jin for him. Out of this mentality, Liu Hong nodded immediately.
And immediately there was a small yellow door next to him to give the order, and Liu Hong naturally had a smile on his face. But there was a cold glow in his slightly narrowed eyes, and he had already been carried away by power. And at this moment, Xu Ji's eyes, who were told the news by Xiao Huangmen, were even more cold, Liu Hong still did it after all, and Xu Ji's hope for him at the last point had been completely lost, in other words, from this moment on, Xu Ji was no longer ruthless to Liu Hong.
But despite this, Xu Ji couldn't disobey openly, and obviously the rest of the West Garden had all stopped performing, which meant that Liu Hong didn't intend to leave himself the slightest chance to retreat, he wanted to force himself to fall into He Jin's face, otherwise he would have to take his own life himself. It's just that Xu Ji really wants to know how he can dispel his dissatisfaction and anger with him after this incident has passed? This is no longer something that can be compensated for by the identity of a small colt. And Liu Hong has no one else to rely on now except himself, unless he uses the old courtiers, even if he recaptures the Northern Army and controls the West Garden, what is the use?
But in any case, the relationship has already broken up, and Xu Ji doesn't plan to care how Liu Hong wants to make up for it, and even in Xu Ji's opinion, this guy doesn't plan to make up for it at all.
Xu Ji followed the little yellow door to Liu Hong's car, although He Jin looked calm at this time, the anger in his eyes was unconcealed, and Liu Hong on the seat was half-squinted and looked like he had nothing to do with him, Xu Ji bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for their armor and can't pay full salutes, Your Majesty will summon the ministers to come." I don't know what to command? Xu Ji's words are absolutely without the slightest emotion, Xu Ji's attitude is obvious, he is using this attitude to express his dissatisfaction, as for Liu Hong's attitude, it is actually not important. The reason why he wants to show such an attitude at this time is, in the final analysis, to deceive Liu Hong.
Imagine how a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy would react to being treated like this. Xu Ji is already the most restrained and depressed, and Liu Hong can be regarded as calm when he hears this, if Xu Ji shows indifference or even flatters himself, it means that Xu Ji may have other plans. And his current attitude reassured him: "Wen Lie, I summoned you because the general is quite curious about your manipulation of the soldiers. That's it. General, Wen Lie has come here. Ask yourself. After speaking, he looked at He Jin with his eyes.
He Jin smiled and said: "Donkey, I heard that you were able to easily defeat Zhang Mengzhuo in Chenliu because your corporal was very elite, and when I look at it today, it seems to be no different from ordinary exercises. ”
When Xu Ji heard this, he immediately saw He Jin's intentions, this guy seemed to be only coming at himself today, and it seemed that he had given up directly on Xiyuan, and it could also be seen from here that for He Jin, or for the group of descendants behind He Jin, the importance of the Northern Army was far greater than that of Xiyuan, so He Jin would show such an attitude, but this was naturally good news for Liu Hong. But for Xu Ji, it is no less than bad news.
However, only the current level is still trivial, Xu Ji just smiled indifferently and said: "The general said that he was joking, how dare the lower officials deceive, but there is no common equipment used in the exercises of the corporal under the command of the lower officials in the West Garden, and it is difficult to have them all for a while, so these elite drills under the command of the lower officials look no different from ordinary soldiers, but the general can pick people out of the lower official camp to see, and everyone has no less than five catties of sandbags." As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked, and not all the outsiders present were Liu Hong and He Jin, who naturally knew how to train soldiers, and the training intensity of the soldiers in the West Garden was actually very small, and Xu Ji dared to guarantee that it was obviously true, but the sandbags that the soldiers carried more than five catties of sandbags did not seem to be much, but there were also their standing weapons and armor, and the iconic heavy armor soldiers under Xu Ji's command were also listed, this level of training was indeed inhuman, and it was a bit excessive.
Although He Jin is ignorant of this, but looking at the shock between the expressions of his staff, he probably understands that this is probably not a trivial matter, and for a while, He Jin is also a little unsure of what to do, Xu Ji said clearly, if He Jin wants to go to his camp to choose to verify the truth or falsehood, this momentum does not seem to be a bluff, in case he is really slapped in the face by Xu Ji, then He Jin is really not a stroke.
Then He Jin asked loudly: "Xiyuan is directly under His Majesty, why don't you implement this method of training in the army?" Could it be that you have to rely on the method of military training to respect yourself? "It's a bit of a threat. Xu Ji replied that some mistakes were buttoned down by a high hat, and Xu Ji didn't answer the words, and Liu Hong would definitely not protect himself. When the time comes, maybe you will simply deal with yourself on a "trumped-up" charge, which is really stupid.
However, Xu Ji also replied: "The general's joke is a bit big. In the West Garden, I am afraid that only the soldiers under the command of Xia Guan have received such training, even the most elite soldiers under the command of the rest of the lieutenants cannot withstand this kind of intense training, Wen Lie definitely does not want to respect himself in turn, but the situation is not accurate, the general does not believe that he can call any battalion of soldiers to try. ”
He Jin was blocked by Xu Ji's words again, but where is this result acceptable to He Jin? This is far from achieving the goal, how could He Jin give up so easily, he immediately found someone to call Yuan Shao. Xu Ji saw that this matter was going to be bad, originally if He Jin came with the purpose of annexing the West Garden, Yuan Shao would be a help. But now He Jin is just coming for himself, this Yuan is not a friend but another big enemy in the first place, if these two guys get together, it will be a big trouble. It's just that Xu Ji has nothing to do to stop it, and now there is only one way, that is, to see the move, as for the result, Xu Ji really doesn't have any good ideas other than praying.
Not long after, Yuan Shao, who was covered in armor, also came, of course, Xu Ji didn't look like anything when he saw Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao took the initiative to say hello and seemed to be a little goodwill. Xu Ji was in no mood to respond, at this time, Yuan Shao probably didn't know the purpose of Lu Dao, and when Yuan Shao knew that no matter how much he showed goodwill, it would be in vain, Xu Ji didn't think that Yuan Shao would fall into the ground. This is a rare opportunity to hit yourself, and maybe you can directly clear yourself from the sequence of the eighth captain of the West Garden, this is a sure deal. Yuan Shao is not a fool, there is no reason not to do it.
And seeing Yuan Shao coming, the expression on He Jin's face also eased slightly. After all, Yuan Shao used to be his staff, and Yuan Benchu's impression on He Jin was quite good. And Yuan Shao is really capable. Xu Ji also agrees with Yuan Shao's ability, but this Yuan Benchu is a very good role if he goes to be a strategist and a staff member, but if he talks about the main matter, he will inevitably react too slowly, so Xu Ji was able to seize the opportunity to come back from under Yuan Shao's tiger's mouth.
"Originally, I heard that only the horse department in the West Garden did not practice every day, but is there such a thing?" As soon as Yuan Shao heard He Jin's words, he immediately understood, the emotional general didn't have the idea of annexing Xiyuan this time, and he He Jin was looking for trouble with Xu Ji, Yuan Shao immediately nodded and said: "Although I don't know why the horse doesn't practice every day, but there is indeed such a thing." Yuan Shao is also smart, and he doesn't know whether He Jin still wants to seize the military power of the Xiyuan Army, so he didn't offend Xu Ji too hard, after all, Yuan Shao didn't know that Xu Ji was actually almost half of the Jinwu, otherwise what Yuan Shao said at this time would not be so easy.
It's just that Yuan Shao's sentence really makes Xu Ji a little tricky, and it is true that Xu Ji's corporal has almost never trained since he arrived in Luoyang, that is, he occasionally pulls out and stands in formation for a noon, which is really troublesome to explain. But what should be said clearly can't run, Xu Ji saw Liu Hong's face and knew that he said that he said today that he didn't want to run away from anything, so Xu Ji simply didn't do anything, he said: "The general doesn't know that the corporal under the command of the lower official was brought into Luoyang from Chen Liuyi by order?" The lower official did not rest after the battle between Chen Liu and Zhang Mengzhuo and immediately got the holy decree, so the lower official hurriedly led his troops to get up and did not dare to delay at all. ”
Xu Ji's answer was not kind, Liu Hong asked him to bear all the firepower of He Jin, but Xu Ji was so stupid and immediately pulled Liu Hong in, and this matter is irrefutable, the holy decree is still in Xu Ji's hands, so when He Jin looked back at Liu Hong, he could only nod to show that it was true. He Jin was even more unwilling, it was useless to come and go and grab several handles, Xu Ji's sharp teeth and sharp words were all said, this was not the result he wanted to see.
Therefore, the displeasure in He Jin's heart can be said to be written on his face, Yuan Shao can be regarded as understanding at this time, the general doesn't seem to be thinking about the Xiyuan Army at all this time, and only cares about making trouble for Xu Wenlie. It's just that what can make the general ignore the stubble of the Xiyuan Army and only look for Xu Wenlie? This really made Yuan Shao curious, just like scratching his heart. But Yuan Shao couldn't ask, so he could only look at it like this.
But where do you see this, if it weren't for the fear that he would provoke He Jin by asking and causing him to suffer, Yuan Shao really wanted to ask Xu Ji if he provoked General He so much that He Jin completely ignored the matter of Xiyuan. But Yuan Shao just thought about it. He Jin has no idea about Xiyuan, which is undoubtedly good news for him, and his only opponent is now that He Jin deals with him, he may only need to do a good job of cleaning up the mess.
He Jin was really a little angry at this time, and he couldn't find any better reason to deal with Xu Ji for a while, so he simply spoke up scoundrelly: "Then it's all exposed, but General Ben doesn't believe that the combat effectiveness of the corporal under the command of the horse is really so strong?" Today, General Ben also brought his own personal guards, so you might as well have a contest in the West Garden to see which one is stronger and which is weaker, and I don't know what Your Majesty thinks? Liu Hong naturally had no reason not to agree, and now he couldn't wait for Xu Ji to offend He Jin even more. In this way, it was much easier for him to withdraw his authority, and after seeing Liu Hong nodding, He Jin turned his head to look at Xu Ji and asked, "Don't you accept it?" ”
This is said to be a scoundrel, how much a scoundrel he says, once Xu Ji says that he does not accept it, it is tantamount to disobeying the order, He Jin did it without any effort, this comparison is still on Liu Hong's head in the end, this faint gentleman actually agreed to He Jin first, even if Liu Hong meant to ask Xu Ji how to have an attitude first, it would be better than directly promising He Jin.
However, since the matter had come to this point, Xu Ji had no other way, so he immediately resigned and returned to his own formation. Xu Ji must inform Gao Shun of the seriousness of the matter at this time, although he has the confidence to win, but slapping He Jin's face in front of so many people in Xiyuan is not tantamount to looking for death? But Liu Hong definitely won't allow himself to lose, so this degree is really difficult to grasp.
And Gao Shun was sitting in the formation at this time. Among the several generals under Xu Ji's command, the most calm is Chen Dao, followed by Gao Shun, and compared to Chen Zhi's calmness, Gao Shun still has an almost crazy will to fight during the war. Therefore, usually Gao Shun is responsible for all affairs when Xu Ji is not in the camp, and over time, Gao Shun's ability to take charge of himself has become more and more prominent.
Gao Shun also frowned after listening to Xu Ji's words. This battle is said to be a competition, but who knows if He Jin will come according to the rules? Anyway, he is an uncle and a general. It's really not that Xu Ji, a colt, can be compared, and more importantly, there is a Liu Hong here who can't wait for Xu Ji to kill He Jin directly, this trouble is really too tricky.
It's just that no matter how difficult it is, it still has to be solved, and if it is not solved, it is a certain death situation for Xu Ji, even if it is a glimmer of life, it is worth fighting, not to mention that the current situation is not so bad, He Jin's behavior of bullying the small will inevitably be criticized, so in the future, there is no need to be too afraid of this kind of scoundrel-style embarrassment, but it is a little difficult to say how to deal with it now.
To win or not to win? This question does not need to be considered, it is impossible for Liu Hong to accept Xu Ji's defeat, so even if it is victorious, there is a difference, how to win? For Gao Shun, defeating the "old soldiers" under He Jin is simply handy, but winning too easily will inevitably break He Jin's face, according to the nature of this butcher, it is really hard to say how he will react, Xu Ji doesn't want to take a risk.
And the remaining question is whether it is better to show luck and win, or is it better to win with a little bit of strength? The two seem to be not very different, but there are two different results, the result of the former is that He Jin will inevitably end here today, and he will definitely not worry too much about Xu Ji in the future, and the result of the latter will of course make He Jin start to be wary of Xu Ji, and even deal with himself more shamelessly.
Not only that, this will also lead to a difference in Liu Hong's attitude towards Xu Ji, if the former is the case, Liu Hong will naturally not be so tight on Xu Ji, and it may also make Liu Hong consciously strengthen Xu Ji's strength; The latter will undoubtedly make Liu Hong even more crazy to send Xu Ji to He Jin.
In this regard, after a look at the advantages and disadvantages of the two, Xu Ji finally decided to show that it was good to win, he is now on the cusp of the storm, and it is better to temporarily keep quiet and obscure if there is any limelight, and he is always put in the light It is difficult to say that he will not be injured by the hidden arrow, after all, Xu Ji still doesn't like the passive situation very much, so the choice is almost inevitable.
Just after Gao Shun and Xu Ji finished discussing, Xiao Huangmen also came to urge Xu Ji, but He Jin couldn't wait, although Xu Ji looked down on He Jin with an attitude of teaching himself a lesson, but now Xu Ji is a little grateful to He Jin, if it weren't for He Jin himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't have much chance to keep his head up, or why do he always say that misfortune and blessing rely on.
And after the two sides finished arraying, Xu Ji retreated to the main formation, and it was better to hand over the command to Gao Shun, the so-called art industry has a specialty, he is a layman, not to mention showing a fluke victory, maybe he was really defeated by He Jin's group of "old soldiers", which was an extremely bad result. (To be continued......)
