Huan Fan looked at Xu Ji, who understood, and said solemnly: "Cao Mengde has a long-term vision, it is definitely not comparable to Ma Teng or Zhang Lu and others, let alone Sun Ce Liu Bei who does not understand the lord's character, and Cao Mengde's own ability should not be underestimated, this is also what the lord himself said, compared to the rest of the princes Cao Cao is undoubtedly an outstanding talent, whether it is military or internal affairs, he is the most difficult person in the world." How could the strategies formulated by such heroes be the same as those of Ma Teng and others? After a pause, Huan Fan continued with a solemn expression: "Today, my Yanzhou is almost invincible in the world, if my northern states are restructured, and then I succeed in sweeping away dissidents in the court, then the world will belong to my Yanzhou." Of course, Cao Cao understands this, maybe others hope that the short period of peace can develop rapidly and reach a state that can be on par with my Yanzhou, but Cao Cao knows that this matter is difficult, so other people's strategy is to delay time, while Cao Cao's strategy is to completely defeat my Yanzhou, but if you want to defeat my Yanzhou, then you must not start from the outside, but should divide and disintegrate from the inside. Xu Ji said with a smile: "Shoot people first and shoot horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, if you want to divide and disintegrate Yanzhou, the best way is of course to make my Xu Ji behave at a loss and make my subordinates deviate from morality." When it comes to betrayal and separation, there's no better thing to do than to start with my family. ”

Huan Fan said coldly: "Lord Mingjian, that's exactly the case, so Cao Cao especially wants three things to happen now: the first is that Miss Cai Yan and the lord disagree, one of them; The lord is obsessed with Yin's beauty, and he has no choice but to be jealous of his wives and concubines at home. The second is also; The main mother Yining gave birth to the young master, and this is the third. Xu Ji was a little puzzled: "I thought of the first two things. I don't quite understand the rest of the story. ”

Huan Fan said proudly: "Don't forget the lord." In my Yanzhou, there is also a family that has a far-reaching influence on the lord. ”

Xu Ji had a flash of inspiration and said, "The Xun family? Huan Fan nodded. affirmed: "Lord Mingjian, although the Xun clan has Xun Yu and Xun Yu in this generation, and there are also Mr. Xun Chen above, but this is my Yanzhou problem, the power in the hands of the three of them is enough to shake the foundation of the lord, although I don't think they will betray the lord, but the Xun clan's almost tilted effect undoubtedly represents their optimism about the lord, but they can't control the lord at all, after all, they are also a big family." And it is also a family of scholars. ”

After a pause, Huan Fan said again: "According to my law in Yanzhou, if Yining's mother gives birth to Lin'er. Then the next generation of masters of my Yanzhou will be settled, but the key to the problem is that the lord of Yining is the identity of the princess, and now the situation in the Han Dynasty is like this, in fact, this identity has long been unable to restrict the lord, and the lord is now not a wife and concubine except for the Cai family, and the Xun clan has no control over the lord, if so, are they willing to be the pawns of the lord? Moreover, Liu Xuan is also a problem, and it is unknown how the lord expects to deal with it. The relationship between this kid and Cao Mengde is said to be very close, and although he seems to be closer to me in Yanzhou, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not stumble us behind his back. Xu Ji gasped. He didn't think about this matter, and said after a long while: "This matter is actually easy to do, after all, Liu Miao himself has already taken refuge in Cao Cao." And now it's just a vain history of Yangzhou. If I really think that his name is just a joke, as for the affairs of the Xun clan, I will find a time to talk to Xun Yu, but Yining. I'm just afraid that she will be provoked by someone in the Xun clan......"

Huan Fan shook his head and sighed: "Lord, the key to the problem lies in the first two things. If Yining's housewife heard that the lord had a lot of submissions in Chang'an for Miss Cai Yan in politics, and the news that she had a hot fight with the Yin family. What do you think the Mother of the Mistress would think? Sigh again. Huan Fan shook his head and said: "A woman, all she wants is to be able to entrust her husband and children for life, when she finds that her husband and children are unreliable, then she will find a way to make herself stronger, and this is the beginning of women's participation in politics If this situation occurs in Yanzhou, it is simply unimaginable." At least the identity of the master mother is enough to unite a group of thieves and immortal families, and the next step is bound to be affected by the military and political power, and the vision and ability of the master mother are naturally beyond doubt, but those family members are not easy to say. ”

Xu Ji thought about it, it was true, a Han princess Yining with a noble status in the eyes of the world; Cai Wenji, who is arrogant and has her own opinions and opinions; a deliberately troublemaker, another Yin family; If the relationship between the nameless Mrs. Zhang and himself is discovered again, once the trouble starts, then my backyard may really be turned upside down. There is a saying in later generations called "Since ancient times, it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs", where does Xu Ji have the ability to maneuver in it? At that time, I am afraid that I will be exhausted between several women.

The three things Cao Cao hoped could indeed affect him, and all of them started from trivial things.

But fortunately, Xu Ji has already settled Cai Wenji, and after Huan Fan said this, he didn't dare to touch the Yin family if he killed Xu Ji.

However, this matter is afraid of rumors, and the lethality will be the same when the time comes. Thinking of this, Xu Ji smiled at Huan Fan and said, "Thanks to your reminder, otherwise you will definitely miss a big thing." ”

Huan Fan smiled and said: "The lord praised it falsely, in fact, it was pure luck to be able to guess these things." ”

Xu Ji shook his head and said, "Huan Fan, don't be modest. Huan Fan shook his head and said: "My lord, please forgive me, although the Yin family in front of me is very likely to be Cao Cao's person, but it is a bit plausible, although this strategy is as vicious as Cao Cao's person, but it has a feminine taste, it seems that this strategy is from the hands of a woman." If it weren't for the fact that I was often with the witch goddess when I was in Yanzhou, I saw a lot of various methods of women, and I couldn't see this strategy at all, only women can guess women's hearts and women's affairs. ”

Xu Ji scratched his head, he didn't hear that there were any beautiful military women around Cao Cao, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that Huan Fan was reasonable. The two were talking, but they saw someone come to report, saying that it was Zhen Wei who asked to see him.

Xu Ji smiled at Huan Fan and said, "Don't you see, our helper is here, this Zhen family will be a bloodless sword in the hands of Brother Wen Ruo in the future." ”

So Xu Ji hurriedly invited. Huan Fan took the opportunity to retire.

After a while, the pale-faced Zhen Shi Shiran entered the living room. Meet Xu Ji. Xu Ji and the Zhen family can now be regarded as their own people, so there are not so many scruples between words. smiled and asked Zhen Yan to sit down.

has its own beautiful maid to serve fragrant tea.

In the smoke of Manbi tea, Xu Ji's spirit was completely relaxed, and he said to Zhen Yan: "Can Ling Cigui's body be healthy?" Zhen Yan smiled and said: "I trust the lord to be blessed with the land." My mother was the same as ever. Now the family affairs are basically handed over to me and my little sister to take care of, and my mother just accompanies Yining's housewife to travel in Jizhou every day. ”

After saying that, remembering something, he hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, respectfully handed it to Taishi and said, "Lord, I came to Chang'an this time." My mother had a letter for me to bring. ”

Xu Ji hurriedly took it and opened the letter. Can't wait to read it. The letter did not say anything important, but said that Xuan Yan went to Chang'an this time completely under Xu Ji's orders, and the tenderness and sweetness revealed between the lines made Xu Ji's soul disappear.

After a long time, Xu Ji read the letter and carefully packed the letter.

But she said to Xu Ji: "Lord, my mother instructed me to spread the word that I hope the lord will burn it after reading this letter." Xu Ji was stunned when he heard this, but immediately understood Mrs. Zhang's intentions, nodded, and burned the letter and envelope.

Zhen Yan said solemnly: "My lord." Before I came to Chang'an. My mother instructed me to obey my lord's arrangement in Chang'an. ”

Xu Ji smiled and said: "Since you already know, it's good that the Zhen family has contributed a lot to my Yanzhou over the years, which is really a great contribution." The 50,000 Zhen family soldiers were all confiscated, and they repeatedly performed miraculous feats at critical moments. I, Xu Ji, am unforgettable. Xu Ji tried to be polite in his words, after all, the matter between him and Mrs. Zhang should not be known to Zhen Yan, otherwise he was afraid that he would not know how to deal with himself.

How did Zhen Yan know what Xu Ji meant? hurriedly said: "Where did the lord say it?" Over the years. Thanks to the support of the lord, my Zhen family will be able to develop and grow. I don't know how much Xuan He has changed than before. When I was young, my mother taught me that to be a human being, you must be grateful and reciprocate. My Zhen family is the main father-in-law, and he does not hesitate to do anything, let alone come to Chang'an to do business and make a fortune? Xu Ji laughed. I didn't expect Zhen Yan, who had always been calculating in my impression, to speak so boldly, and I was happy in my heart.

Xu Ji looked at Zhen Yan and said with a mysterious smile: "Zhen Yan, remember, you don't have to come to ask me about Chang'an, if you have any questions, go to Brother Wen Ruo, but I want to say a word to you: For my Yanzhou, be a profiteer, in that way, you will be a great hero of my Yanzhou." Zhen Yan was confused, but he didn't ask why, in the past few years, following Yanzhou's policy, the Zhen family's business has become bigger and bigger, and it has become a business family.

So far, Yanzhou has been raised to an invincible position in the hearts of the Zhen family. Zhen Yan walked on the front foot, and Mi Zhu, a rich man from Xuzhou, came. This is an absolute old man, and he can even be called Xu Ji's brother, and Guo Jianeng can rely on the help of this brother to take Xuzhou so easily.

But Xu Ji knows better that his brother is definitely a person who distinguishes between public and private, which also leads Xu Ji to feel a headache when he sees this smile, and the big businessman who has great courage feels a headache, since he swept Yanzhou, this brother has been eager to marry his sister-in-law to him.

For the matter of the sister-in-law's embrace, Xu Ji has long been a little numb now, after all, he has seen a lot in this era, but the problem is that this beauty is too troublesome, after all, Mi Zhu is also a big family, and it is not quite the same as the Zhen family, they still have some prestige in academics, and the family nature on the political zhì is very strong, when Tao Qian was alive in the past, Mi Zhu and his younger brother Mi Fang respectively controlled the military and political circles of Xuzhou. Get a beautiful girl to send it left and right, naturally I still want to get benefits from myself. This is the last thing Xu Ji wants to see. Therefore, at this time, he often avoided Mi Zhu. Coupled with Huan Fan's analysis just now, Xu Ji was even more afraid of it, for fear that his backyard would be on fire. Now Mi Zhu is in front of his eyes, it's too late to hide, and he has to take one step at a time.

Xu Ji stubbornly asked Mi Zhu to sit down, but the latter seemed to have something to say to Xu Ji. As a result, he lost his former composure.

Mi Zhu didn't speak, and of course Xu Ji was happy to avoid it. It's just that there is no one to chat with Mi Zhu.

Finally, Mi Zhu couldn't help it. I often saw Xu Ji: "Lord, Mi Zhu has something to ask you for." Then he fell down to the ground.

Xu Ji was inexplicable when he heard it, and he couldn't put on a face when he was confused, so he had to smile and say: "What do you say first, although my Yanzhou laws and regulations are strict, they are clearly organized, if you really make a mistake." No one can save you. But if it's a nice-to-have, it doesn't matter. ”

The cold sweat on Mi Zhu's head finally came down, and he made up his mind to grit his teeth and said, "Lord." The subordinates want to divorce the little sister ......"

Xu Ji was drinking tea when he almost squirted out when he heard the words.

Is there such a good thing in the world?

However, when Mi Zhu said this, Xu Ji became worried. Is there something wrong with Xuzhou?

Mi Zhu saw that Xu Ji's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was sweating even more.

Xu Ji stabilized his mind and said coldly: "You get up first, this matter has nothing to do with my Yanzhou decree, you don't need to ask me for guilt, this is something you want me to do, but I want to know what the reason is." Mi Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. Stand up. Thinking of something, he hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Ji with both hands. Gong said: "Lord, there is a letter from Xuzhou. Said that the lord would know if he saw it. ”

Xu Ji hurriedly quit, and the envelope was extremely fine. This is a Yanzhou secret method, of course, to prevent anyone from peeking. After Xu Ji checked that it was correct, he opened the letter and read it carefully. The first sentence of the letter was to ask Xu Ji to have a cold face when he read the letter. Don't look happy.

Later, we will talk about the beginning and end of the matter.

It turned out that after Yu came to Xuzhou, he found that the local power in Xuzhou was extremely strong. In particular, represented by Chen Deng, it is difficult to reform here. With Zhang Zhao's talent, he is also tired of dealing with the strange tricks of the family. However, Yu Fu soon found a breakthrough, that is, Mi Zhu, who has always had a close relationship with Yanzhou, if Mi Zhu can be completely pulled over, then the pressure on Xuzhou's reform will be much less.

The best way is for Xu Ji to marry Mi Zhu's sister.

But Yu Fu also expected Xu Ji's worries, for fear that Mi Zhu would become bigger in Xuzhou, so he retreated and came up with a plan to be willing to give in. Yu Zhu's method is very simple, this kid took advantage of various opportunities in Xuzhou to launch a fierce pursuit offensive against Mi Zhu's sister, and used his knowledge and demeanor and almost omnipotent talent to conquer Mi Zhu's sister's heart of a young girl who worships heroes.

Subsequently, Yu turned the raw rice and cooked the rice, and completely conquered Mi Zhu's sister on the bed, and then deliberately revealed it to Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu regretted it after knowing it, but the matter has come to this, and he can't do anything to the two of them, only to find a way to resolve the "disaster" in front of him, of course, he can't think of rebellion, he has learned the power of the Yanzhou army. At this time, Xu Ji's strength is completely different from the down-and-out post-natal who traveled to Xuzhou back then, and now standing in front of Xu Ji, Mi Zhu feels that he is a little weak-hearted.

was hesitating for a while, Yu Chuan took the initiative to come to him, saying that he would solve this matter, and asked Mi Zhu to bring a letter to Chang'an and tell Xu Ji the truth.

In this letter, Yu Fu repeatedly emphasized that he was also sincere to Mi Zhu's sister, and asked Xu Ji to rest assured. And I hope that Xu Ji will pretend in front of Mi Zhu and not show too much joy, otherwise Mi Zhu will see through his intentions. After reading this letter, Xu Ji couldn't help but applaud in his heart: What a Yu translation! It actually solved a problem for me.

In doing so, Yu reduced the possibility of a family crisis that Xu Ji might have.

Xu Jideng's heart was happy.

It's no wonder that Mi Zhu is so scared now, because although the matter between Xu Ji and Mi Zhu's sister has not been decided, it is inevitable. But now this trouble has been avoided, but in any case, Yu Fu and Mrs. Mi in history are also a match made in heaven.

The most critical problem is that Mi Zhu will feel guilty because of this incident, and it is conceivable that he will definitely obey Yanzhou's words in the future, so that the gap in Xuzhou can be regarded as truly open.

Especially now, Xu Ji feels that Yu Zhu's letter has a feeling of nectar after a long drought. Now Chang'an's economic summit is in full swing, I very much need the support of big businessmen from all over the world, although there is the Zhen family, but it is difficult to support alone, if you can get Mi Zhu's full support now, then of course it is the best.

Yu turned the purple plan to be a two-pronged approach, but he received three birds with one stone. Thinking of this, Xu Ji put the letter aside, and deliberately looked at Zhu Zhu with a tiger face, which made the latter tremble, and then showed a helpless look on his face, and sighed: "The falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, everything in the world can be fought for, but there is a word 'fate' that cannot be forced." A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and isn't it a very beautiful thing to see that there are lovers in the world and eventually become married? Let them be. Mi Zhu heard this, only then did he put his mind at ease, although he had a refreshing sense of Xu Ji's clichés that sounded novel in the later centuries, but more of it was the joy of escaping death.

Xu Ji said coldly to Mi Zhu again: "But you have to make it clear, this matter is not my extrajudicial favor, but my Yanzhou's laws and regulations, although the marriage can be arranged, but the premise is that it must not conflict with personal wishes, otherwise it will be invalid, now Ling Mei's will is Yu Xuan, although I am the lord of Yanzhou, but I will not disobey my Yanzhou's decree." Mi Zhu then "understood" why Yu Tuo was so fearless, and how did he know that there was another mystery in this? hurriedly laughed and said: "My sister is really not blessed......"

Xu Jiyi waved his hand and said: "Marriage, it is like drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing, outsiders look good may not be a perfect match, brother, you can't force it." ”

Seeing that Mi Zhu heard Xu Ji's title, he knew that Xu Ji did not really blame, which also showed that Xu Ji was still thinking of his old feelings, after all, without him, Xu Ji wanted to take Xuzhou and sit firm, but I was afraid that it would not be so easy. Just as Mi Zhu was glad that Xu Ji sneered again: "But speaking of which, the real culprit of this matter is not Yu Fu or Ling Mei, but you, who are the elder brothers, don't know your sister's thoughts, so you can have such embarrassment, you say you can tell me what is good about you?"

Mi Zhu lowered his head, looked like he was admitting his mistake, and said to Xu Ji: "Lord, if you want to beat, you will be punished." ”

Xu Ji was overjoyed in his heart, now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, since Mi Zhu is so willing to be the wronged leader, if he refuses again, I am afraid that even God will blame himself, right? (To be continued......)
