Of course, Xu Ji knew that this Ji Ping was here to observe his complexion.

Xu Jidang was naturally prepared and would not let Yu Ji see the flaws.

Wang Zifu still looked like a yin and yang weirdness, and smiled at Xu Ji: "Lord Sikong, today is a nuisance, but it is really a great blessing in life to be able to drink the best wine of Yanzhou in Sikong Mansion." Xu Ji didn't look at Ji Ping, and smiled at the prince's clothes: "I'm happy that Lord Wang can come, Lord Wang appreciates my Yanzhou wine so much, I'm even more happy, if Lord Wang likes it, I'll ask someone to send a few more jars of wine to your lord, how about it?" ”

Wang Zifu shook his head again and again: "Lord Sikong is polite, drinking is extremely elegant, for example, tonight, drinking Yanzhou wine in the splendid Sikong Mansion really complements each other, if you change places, I'm afraid it will be much less interesting." However, if there is a chance to drink freely in the Sikong Lord's mansion, then it will really be a wish. Xu Ji sneered in his heart when he heard this, he knew that Wang Zifu must be secretly proud in his heart, thinking that he didn't know his ghost tricks, and he was still laughing at himself for not knowing that death was coming, and he would definitely let Wang Zifu and others occupy this Sikong Mansion one day.

However, Xu Ji of course pretended not to know on the surface and said, "Where did Lord Wang say that? If Lord Wang doesn't dislike it, he can come to our Sikong Mansion at any time, and Xu Ji will definitely greet him. The prince laughed, very proud, and then pulled Ji Ping over and introduced to Xu Ji: "Lord Sikong, this is Mr. Ji Ping, the divine doctor of our Chang'an City. ”

Of course, Xu Ji pretended to meet for the first time, and said solemnly: "It turned out to be Mr. Jiping." I heard the name early, but I hated that I didn't have the opportunity to know Jing earlier. See you today. It's really a blessing for three lives. ”

Ji Ping responded indifferently, and he didn't like to be reasonable. Xu Ji saw Ji Ping like this. On the contrary, I appreciate it a little, compared with Wang Zifu and others. This Jihei really has a bit of backbone. The prince dressed in this way. hurriedly smiled: "Don't blame Lord Sikong, Mr. Jiping's personality is so ......"

Xu Ji laughed and said: "It's just a matter of letting go, this is the true nature of British things, isn't my Xu Ji also such a person?" ”

Ji Ping's expression moved, and he returned to normal. The prince laughed twice. Cai smiled at Xu Ji and said: "Lord Sikong is right, Mr. Jiping is really such a person, with a cold face and a warm heart. For example, some time ago, many people persuaded Mr. Jiping not to go, but Mr. Jiping still went. Even if I was infected with a strange illness in the end, I would never regret it, and I really deserved the words of benevolence of a doctor, and recently, I felt that my health was not as good as before, so I went to Mr. Jiping, and Mr. Ji Ping treated me without saying a word, and he did not leave an inch during this time, which is really admirable. Xu Ji was moved on the surface. In fact, Xue Liang in his heart, this prince's suit is to explain why Jiping people appear by his own side, so as not to be suspicious.

After some conversation. After achieving their goals with each other, Xu Ji walked to the banquet hall with a smile with the two.

And so the night passed. Three days after Xu Shu's wedding. Xu Ji ordered Xu Shu to leave Chang'an and rush back to the Central Plains immediately, naturally because there were too many affairs in the Central Plains. Xu Shu can't be delayed here.

As soon as this proposal was proposed, it was immediately "opposed" by many people. Xun Yu said that the newlywed Yan'er was really unkind after a tiring journey. Huan Fan said that there are more and more things in Chang'an now, and many places need Xu Shu to mention on the side.

In the end, Yin also stood up and spoke, begging Xu Ji not to let Xu Shu go. Of course, Xu Ji and everyone knew Yin's purpose, so they naturally performed with all their might, and Xu Ji was very angry after Yin's speech, and insisted on Xu Shu leaving.

Xu Shu looked a little gloomy, stopped talking, and finally brushed his sleeves away.

He Lin was inexplicable, and she didn't understand why her husband would have a conflict, so she was naturally anxious. The night before Xu Shu left, Yin met Xu Shu again, and the two talked "heart-to-heart".

Yin's words were ostensibly to comfort Xu Shu, saying that the two would meet one day, although there was no blame for Xu Ji's words, but the inner words revealed this meaning.

This is, of course, forcing Xu Shu to rebel against Xu Ji. Xu Shu immediately looked hesitant, and his face was uncertain.

Of course, Xu Shu couldn't agree to the Yin family immediately, otherwise it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Yin didn't force it, because she had achieved her goal, she thought that Xu Shu had been shaken by herself, as long as she returned to the Central Plains, she found that her mother was kidnapped by Cao Cao, coupled with Cao Cao's surprise attack on Xuzhou, Xu Shu would take refuge in Cao Cao sooner or later. The next day, Xu Shu left Chang'an with He Lin.

Xu Ji and others sent each other. Yin's surface is even more exciting, and his eyes are extremely resentful.

In the weird atmosphere, Xu Shu left "reluctantly".

With Xu Shu's departure from Beijing, the head-on conflict between Xu Ji and Cao Cao was already imminent. After Xu Shu left, Xu Ji began to arrange a qiē in secret. Jia Xu's side sent the information he got from Cao Cao and Wang Zifu to Xu Ji from time to time, so as to deal with Yiqiē.

And Cao Cao's hidden forces in Chang'an have gradually grasped the actual power of the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, and have hollowed out the little military power left by Wang Zifu and others. After Cao Cao got the conflict between Xu Shu and Xu Ji, he began to deliberately create a conflict with the Yanzhou army, and the best way was of course to do business with the Yanzhou army.

Soon after, Cao Cao caused many conflicts in Huaiyin and Huai'an, Xuzhou's increasingly prosperous trading markets.

According to Xu Ji's instructions, Yu turned to the surface and forbearance, focusing on stabilizing the situation in Xuzhou. When Cao Cao saw this situation, he became more and more rampant, stirring up chaos, and for a while, the situation in Xuzhou became tense.

The local forces in Xuzhou were already complicated, and now they have become even more chaotic because of Cao Cao's disturbance and Zhao Yudi's attitude.

In this chaos, Cao Cao thought that he had unknowingly brought Xu Shu's so-called mother to Jiangdong, and of course, he also used the old routine in history, and asked Cheng Yu to imitate Xu Shu's mother's handwriting to write a letter to Xu Shu, ready to ask Xu Shu to submit, and three months later, news came from Xuzhou: Cao Ren's army, which occupied the southern region of Xiapi, suddenly took Yandu as a stronghold and divided his troops into two routes. Occupy Huaiyin and Huai'an, then one army went straight to Pengcheng, and the other army crossed the water to attack Xiapicheng.

As soon as the news broke. The world shook immediately, but no one was optimistic about Cao Cao. After all, Xu Jinai is the head of the princes in the world, and his strength is strong. It's not something that Cao Cao can hostile to.

However, things happened to be unexpected. First, Cao Cao marched into the army, and Pengcheng actually surrendered without a fight. Zhao Yu, a local family member of the local family, joined forces with Cao Cao's army and occupied Pengcheng, while Xiapi City was attacked by Cao Cao's other army.

At the same time, a large number of supplies were continuously sent to Pengcheng by Cao Cao, and it seems that the two armies formed a horn trend against Xiapicheng.

However, people still think that Cao Cao's shape is not optimistic. Because these two armies formed a lone army to go deep, and in the Central Plains, the strength of the Yanzhou army was extremely strong. The Yanzhou army could have mobilized troops in Yanzhou and Jizhou to attack Pengcheng. However, something unexpected happened, Xu Shu actually ordered the army to stand still in the face of this form, which made people wonder. His reason was to prevent Zhang Ji's army in Yuzhou from joining forces with Cao Cao.

However, anyone thinks that this reason is very far-fetched, and Zhang Ji may join forces with Cao Cao. But where did Zhang Ji come from to confront the Yanzhou army? But even if people in the world want to break their heads, they can't imagine that Cao Cao will use Yin's and Xu Shu's mother to control Xu Shu. Many people think that Xu Shu has other plans.

However, Xuzhou Yu Tuo will not be idle, Yu Tuo led the Xuzhou army, came to Pengcheng, stationed troops in the East China Sea, and joined Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao was clearly premeditated for a long time. His two armies were not evenly distributed, and Pengcheng's army was not strong, but it was able to gain a foothold in Pengcheng, and no one paid attention to it. Cao Cao's army, which captured Xiapi, was extraordinary. It is almost the elite troops under Cao Cao.

As a result, the "unprepared" Yu immediately suffered hardship.

At the first stop, Cao Cao's Xiahou Chun made Yu Pan almost unable to deal with it. The two fought for thirty rounds, and Yu Fu barely defeated Xiahou Chun. But after this battle. Xiahoudun's fame immediately spread all over the world, because Yu Tuo was the top master who defeated Gongsun Zhan in three moves. Now he can't bargain under Xiahoudun's hands.

The strength of the indirect little overlord Sun Ce was also reassessed.

On the second day, Yu Fu was defeated by Xu Chu, who had made great progress in martial arts. Fortunately, there was a degree of advance and retreat, so he was not overwhelmed by Cao Cao, but in this way, he completely abandoned the East China Sea, Pengcheng and Xiapi, and retreated to Jiqiu and Changlu.

The situation in Xuzhou suddenly became tense.

It was during this period that the news of the war in Xuzhou finally reached Chang'an.

Of course, Xu Ji knew it for a long time, but he pretended not to know. It wasn't until one morning that a soldier from Yanzhou hurriedly went to the temple under Xu Ji's arrangement, knelt on the ground, and reported the matter to the Manchu civil and military forces.

As soon as the news of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou came out, there was an immediate uproar in the court.

This was so unexpected. Xu Ji pretended to be pale, and said to the soldier, "Why did Cao Mengde attack Xuzhou? ”

The soldier said with a sad face: "Lord Sikong, Cao Mengde has been deliberately causing trouble in Xuzhou during this time, and he is also dissatisfied with signing business terms with Lord Sikong......

Xun Yu snorted coldly on the side: "Ridiculous! Cao Cao voluntarily signed terms with Lord Sikong that day, how could he go back on his word? Xu Ji waved his hand "irritably" and said: "There is no point in saying this now, I just want to know why no one told me about this matter, and it was not until the war in Xuzhou now that they came to tell me?" ”

The soldier wiped the sweat from his head and said, "The villain is a subordinate of Lord Yu in Xuzhou, and Lord Yu has written to Lord Sikong a long time ago to report this matter." However, Mr. Xu Shu withheld those letters, and Lord Xu Shu said that these things were trivial, and Cao Mengde was just bluffing, not to be afraid. These things don't have to be reported to Sikong-sama. Now the economy is the right thing to do. Among the ministers who have been watching coldly from the side, they all nodded secretly when they heard the words, Xu Shu's words are indeed reasonable, because compared with the huge military forces of Yanzhou in the Central Plains, Cao Mengde's attack on Xuzhou is indeed a bit of a self-defeating taste.

Xu Ji said coldly when he heard this: "During this time, I was only busy with the affairs of Chang'an, and I lost my inspection of Xuzhou and other places, I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen now, but Xu Shu can be regarded as having an eye...... By the way, what action has Xu Shu taken now? ”

The soldier was obviously also a clever man, so he hurriedly lowered his head, pretending not to dare to look at Xu Ji, and said in a low voice: "Cao Cao has now occupied Pengcheng, Xiapi, Donghai, and Pengcheng; General Yu Fu retreated to Changlu and Jiqiu, waiting for rescue. However, Mr. Xu Shu did not plan to send troops, so my husband sent a villain to inform the lord. If Lord Xu Shu does not increase his troops. Xuzhou is only afraid that it will not be protected, and now Yanzhou only has 20,000 new troops of General Wang Bao......"

As soon as Xiao Bing's words came out. There was an uproar again in the court, and he didn't expect that the matter in Xuzhou would evolve to this point. Xu Ji and Xun Yu glanced at each other, the smile in their eyes flashed, and the former snorted coldly: "What a Xu Shu!" Shut up. However, many old foxes in the court have already read the flavor of this sentence.

It seems that something big happened in Yanzhou, but there was nothing unusual on the faces of Wang Zifu and the others, because they had already received definite news from the Dragon Maiden: Xu Ji and Xu Shu seemed to have a conflict because of the Yin family.

Others didn't know what was going on, but they also vaguely guessed that there must be something between Xu Ji and Xu Shu, because some time ago, after Xu Shu got married, Xu Ji actually only let Xu Shu stay in Chang'an for three days before returning to the Central Plains. It's really a discord of courtesy.

At that time, people thought that Xu Shu was voluntary. Now it seems that there must be something else in this matter. So, everyone began to think about the impact of this incident on themselves.

Liu Xie sat on it silently, but he was very happy in his heart, because Xu Jidi's strength was weakened, which was a good thing for him.

Xu Ji understood everyone's reaction, so he finally stood up and said to Liu Xie: "Holy Lord, this major event happened in Xuzhou, and His Majesty hopes to go to Xuzhou in person, hoping to solve this matter as much as possible." Liu Xie said worriedly: "Da Sikong." You don't have to do it yourself, do you? I heard that Yanzhou is full of talents, so I'll leave this matter to my subordinates. ”

Xu Ji was "worried" and said: "Holy Lord, Yanzhou is an important town of the country, and there can be no loss. Now the shape of the Central Plains is complicated, and non-ministers cannot accept the urgent need, and they still hope that the Holy Grace will approve the request of the ministers. Liu Xie pretended to shirk it. Only then did he reluctantly agree.

In this way, Xu Ji's departure from Chang'an was decided. The morning dynasty also ended in a hurry, and after Xu Ji returned to Sikong Mansion, he began to mobilize troops and horses.

Xu Ji returned to the mansion. When Yin knew about the matter, he was secretly happy, thinking that things were going exactly according to his own ideas. The next day, Xu Ji set off to leave Chang'an, and the army was part of the army trained by Tian Fengxin, and it was Huan Fan who went with the army.

There is still a part of the ghost left in Chang'an, secretly protecting Cai Yan.

Shi Aze, who had been in the palace, received an order to keep him by Liu Xie's side, just in case. Yin Ning and the Dragon Girl were taken by Xu Ji's side, of course, outsiders don't know about this matter, and in Yin's opinion, Xu Ji obviously did this because Yin Ning was in the way here, so he took this opportunity to get this original wife and Princess Dahan away, so he didn't have him.

Xu Ji's actual purpose was to be afraid that Chang'an would be in chaos and his wife would be harmed.

Only the dragon girl told Wang Zifu and others about Xu Ji taking her by her side, but the reason that the dragon girl said to Wang Zifu and others was that she hoped to solve Xu Ji as soon as possible and let Xu Ji die in the middle of the road, so that she could reunite with Qin Qingtong as soon as possible. Of course, Wang Zifu and the others were very happy, because it was better for Xu Ji to die in the middle of the road than in Chang'an City, which would be very beneficial for them to occupy Chang'an, so as not to cause Xu Ji to die and the people under Yanzhou would take desperate means to get a lose-lose situation.

As for Chang'an, it was handed over to Xun Yu and Yu Ban.

Of course, no one knew that there was also a Deng Ai secretly directing a qiē behind the scenes. There was nothing to say all the way, and soon after, Xu Ji led the troops out of Tongguan, and this step Xu Ji had to do.

After a period of observation, Xu Ji can be sure that although Ding Fei has been killed by Cao Cao, Cao Cao has definitely not given up in Huainan, although Tongguan is completely in his own hands, but Cao Cao's manpower is here in Huainan, if he doesn't even go out of Tongguan and crosses the north to go back to Chang'an, Cheng Yu will immediately find out that there is a problem. After leaving Tongguan and making sure that nothing was wrong, Xu Ji's army began to cross the river north in a hidden place, and then crossed the east road of Shouyang Mountain to Puzhou, waiting for news.

Wang Zifu and others took action after determining that Xu Ji had left Chang'an.

Lu Bu, who had been gathering momentum in the north, mobilized his army and began to move south. Li Dao and Guo Yan took Yang Feng under Yu Ji's instructions, rushed to Taizhou, and monitored Ma Teng's movements.

The most pitiful is of course Yang Feng, who was named a demon by Yu Ji, and after being arrested, he poured dog blood and chicken dung on his head, and then was beheaded.

At this time, Zhang Xiu, in accordance with Cheng Yu's request, left a part of the army led by Zhang Liao and stayed in the south of Chang'an in case of accidents. Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu led the army to Chang'an.

At this moment, Yu Ji hurried back to Chang'an first.

And this marked the full beginning of the battle between Chang'an and Xuzhou. Xu Ji was also completely excited at this time, although the war between Cao Cao and him was not a face-to-face battle, it was far more terrifying than the hard fight on the battlefield. Cao Cao's calculations have also been fully unfolded, what he wants is to completely uproot his foundation at one time, if it weren't for the timely discovery of the shadow and some coincidences, he might have completely fallen into Cao Cao's calculations.

More importantly, Xu Ji's opponent is no longer Cao Cao, at this time Xu Ji has to face the union of almost all princes, the situation in the world is now like a huge net, Xu Ji is like a beast in the net, if this net is broken, Xu Ji can take advantage of the situation to gain the upper hand and then dominate the world is logical, but if Xu Ji fails, what awaits him is undoubtedly constantly weakened and squeezed, and in the end, it is inevitable that it will also be defeated.

But on the contrary, Xu Ji became even more excited about this situation. (To be continued......)
