Mrs. Zhang came with her daughter Zhen Mi this time.

However, today, the eyes of the men in the house are more focused on Mrs. Zhang, who is already beautiful, and today is even more delicate.

Of course, Xu Ji would not admit that it was the good deeds he did that caused Mrs. Zhang to be so beautiful.

But it is undeniable that the woman who has been nourished by love is the most moving.

Surprisingly, Mrs. Zhang was actually blushing slightly by these men, which was unimaginable before. All the men in the big room were stunned by the embarrassing answer in front of Mrs. Zhang's eyes, and they were speechless.

Xu Ji, a man who has a skin-to-skin relationship with Mrs. Zhang, feels particularly strongly.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Xu Ji bravely and said calmly: "Lord, Zhen is selling the interests of my Zhen family, so I also ask my lord to hand over this person to me to deal with." As soon as Zhen Fu saw Mrs. Zhang, he immediately trembled like a mouse seeing a cat, and after hearing Mrs. Zhang's request, his heart was extremely frightened, and the muscles on his face began to convulsions unconsciously.

"Lord Xu, Mr. Shi Ah once promised me that he would not care about it after the matter is completed......" Xu Ji looked at the person in front of him who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was already extremely tired of this person in his heart, although he himself also hoped to get some useful news from this kid's mouth, but compared to Mrs. Zhang who was in trouble, Xu Ji still wanted less trouble, so Xu Ji said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhen Fu is right, my Yanzhou has always been a man of words, of course I will not do anything to Mr. Zhen Fu, But one thing you have to make clear, my Yanzhou letting you go doesn't mean that the Zhen family will let you go."

Zhen Fu was shocked when he heard this. Suddenly he collapsed to the ground.

Xu Ji peeked at Mrs. Zhang and Zhen Mi, and found that there was hatred in their eyes. But at least his face was calm, and he didn't rush up and scold this Zhen Fu. It shows the cultivation it should have. Who knew that Mrs. Zhang found that Xu Ji was looking at her, and she couldn't help but blush and lowered her head.

Xu Ji was also embarrassed by his actions, and hurriedly turned his head away.

Fortunately, at this time, everyone was looking at Zhen Fu with pity and did not notice this.

Seeing this, Xu Ji deliberately looked at Yuan Jian, who was expressionless on the side, with a cold gaze, and said coldly: "Mrs. Zhang, speaking of which, Mr. Yuan Jian is also the enemy of your Zhen family, should I also hand over Mr. Yuan Jian to you?" ”

Mrs. Zhang didn't have time to speak. Yuan Jian had already changed his color and said, "Lord Xu, I am not from the Zhen family. At that time, I came to the Zhen family to be my own master......"

Xu Ji glanced at Mrs. Zhang and said with a smile: "Madam, can you leave this person to me to deal with?" "Mrs. Zhang naturally understands the truth of accepting it when she sees it, not to mention that the young male lord in front of her was still sleeping on his bed last night? So she nodded respectfully and said, "Everything is according to the lord's orders." ”

On the side, Xin Ping glanced at Mrs. Zhang in surprise, he really couldn't imagine that Mrs. Zhang would be so humble to a person, which was too far from the image of Mrs. Zhang in his heart.

However, he didn't expect that there would be an affair between Xu Ji and Mrs. Zhang.

Xu Ji didn't see Xin Ping's strange expression, looked at Yuan Jian and said in a deep voice: "If you want to live, you must prove to me that you still have the value of living." Yuan Jian nodded vigorously, as long as he could make a living, no matter what he was asked to do, he would naturally be willing.

What's more, things have come to this point. Yuan Jian didn't have any good choices at all. Otherwise, even Xu Jiken let himself go. But as long as he said that he had betrayed the interests of the Yuan family, the huge power of the Yuan family could kill him.

Xu Ji nodded, it seems that this Yuan Jianjiani has completely betrayed the Yuan family, and there is no room for maneuver. Subsequently. Xu Ji turned his head to look at Chen Gong. Leng Ran said: "Mr. Chen Gong, what other requirements do you have before you die?" ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned, who would have thought that Xu Ji would face such an outstanding talent as Chen Gong. He was going to be killed without even asking.

Chen Gong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xu Ji with a look of surprise in his eyes. He shook his head.

Xu Ji nodded and said, "Mr. Chen Gong really knows me." Knowing that I will never be embarrassed by the old and young in the family, so it seems. Mr. Chen Gong can indeed go with peace of mind. ”

Xin Ping hurriedly interjected on the side: "Not only does Mr. Chen Gong know the lord, but the lord also knows Mr. Chen Gong very well, otherwise how could he reveal Mr. Chen Gong's intentions with one word?" ”

He immediately turned his head to look at Chen Gong, and said earnestly: "Mr. Chen Gong, you and I are acquaintances, and I hope you can listen to a sentence, the so-called 'death for a confidant'......"

Xu Ji burst out loud when he heard Xin Ping's words: "Well said, now is the time to ask Mr. Chen Gong to die for me, a confidant!" ”

Xin Ping was stunned, who would have thought that Xu Ji would explain "the one who is a confidant dies" like this?

Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen Gong is a famous man in Yanzhou, so he naturally understands the truth that he is not the same, and frankly speaking, Mr. Chen Gong destroys his innocence and is willing to support Yuan Shu's rebellion to start a war with my Yanzhou, and he is simply not used to seeing the same policies I will implement in Chen Liu. If Mr. Chen Gong could accept my Yanzhou policy, where would there be today? When Chen Gong heard this, his eyes were rippling. Xu Ji's words obviously spoke to Chen Gong's heart.

Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "So I asked Mr. Chen Gong today what he wanted before he died, not because he couldn't tolerate things in his heart, but because Mr. Chen Gong was benevolent!" If Xu Ji forcibly asks Mr. Chen Gong, what else is Mr. Chen Gong's confidant? ”

Chen Gong sighed when he heard this, and suddenly said with a smile on his face: "Xu Ji, I Chen Gong has never been convinced in my life, but I have to see you Xu Ji today, and I will obey you." Fortunately, if you have an enemy who knows this before you die, you have no regrets. After a pause, Chen Gong said in a deep voice: "I just want to ask Lord Xu for something." ”

Xu Jida said with interest: "Did Mr. Chen Gong suddenly remember something that he was not worried about?" ”

Chen Gong's eyes shot deep feelings. looked at Zhang Miao, who was standing on the side, and pleaded, "General Xu, can you let Master Zhang Miao go?" ”

Zhang Miao heard this. Involuntarily raised his head and said in a lost voice: "Gongtai!" ”

Xu Ji's face did not change, but in his heart, he had already begun to quickly calculate the gains and losses.

For now, it's worth it. After all, Xu Ji knew that Zhang Miao was a person who was incompetent, and this person didn't do much in life. However, this person's popularity in Yanzhou is extremely high, if he kills him rashly, it will not be beautiful, although Xu Ji also has the ability to suppress this matter, but it will inevitably cause criticism.

However, after killing Chen Gong, if Zhang Miao can be released. In order to ask Zhang Miao to talk about today's events, it is very beneficial to himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen Gong's request is not too much. I can say yes. ”

Chen Gong didn't expect Xu Ji to agree so happily, but he was a little surprised.

Xu Ji knew what Chen Gong was thinking. He said calmly: "Mr. Chen Gong should know our policy towards the family. As long as Master Zhang Miao cooperates with us, everything is easy to say. ”

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Xu Ji meant. Yanzhou's land policy is indeed an enemy of the clans, but Yanzhou does not blindly slaughter the clans, but more strips the relationship between the clans and the land, and allows the clans to carry out industrial and commercial activities, that is, to give the clans the opportunity to make money, but to deprive the clans of the power to control the army.

Many families know that they can't do whatever they want in the local area. They retreated to the next best thing and accepted the way to make money that Yanzhou gave them.

Zhang Miao himself has no ambitions and is a good-tempered person, no one helps him with ideas, and he will definitely accept Yanzhou's policies. That's why Xu Ji left Zhang Miao's life. Thinking of this, Chen Gong suddenly realized how clever his opponent was, nodded and sighed: "That's it." I have no regrets, but can General Xu Ji tell me the truth about the Battle of Yanzhou? I don't know a lot about it. I still don't understand it. ”

Xu Ji sighed and walked to Chen Gong's side. He whispered in Chen Gong's ear, "I have never disappeared. ”

Heard Xu Ji's words. Chen Gong's eyes flashed with a fine light, his body shook, and he immediately figured out all the incomprehensible places. I also know that the other party is taking advantage of my hesitation.

Be completely convinced!

Chen Gong was very happy in his heart, and actually stretched out his hand, laughed and patted Xu Ji lightly on the shoulder: "Xu Wenlie is worthy of being my great Han master, the first emperor really took a fancy to your ability when he called you as a concubine, Chen Gongtai was convinced!" “

Xu Ji was stunned, he didn't expect Chen Gong to shoot himself so naturally.

Chen Gong only felt relaxed, dusted off his body, as if he was going to go on a long trip, and whispered to Xu Ji: "Wen Lie, I'm leaving, if I have a next life, I will definitely make friends with you, even if I come from a poor family at that time." Then he turned and walked.

Xu Ji was stunned by Chen Gong's words, for the first time, he was reluctant to have feelings for this Chen Gong.

It's a pity that I can't be friends in this life, so I have to sacrifice the flag with blood for me!

Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help but feel a little heartache for his reuse of Chen Gong's death, but he had no choice, and at the moment he could only say in a deep voice: "Brother Gongtai go slowly, Xu Ji won't send it." ”

Chen Gong laughed and went out. On this day, Chen Gong, the wise man of Yanzhou, walked to the heart of life.

Later, Zhang Miao told all the clans in Yanzhou what happened that day, and the younger brother of the clan was in tears, but no one resented Xu Ji, but cooperated with Xu Ji surprisingly in the days to come.

Just because, Chen Gong recognizes Xu Ji as a confidant!

The storyteller in Yanzhou even compiled this story into a commentary "Death on the Public Stage", which sang the great song of the north and south of the river...... However, this is all for later, after Xu Ji dealt with the affairs of Chen Palace, he ordered Liang Xi to take all the members of the Yuan family who participated in the kidnapping of Zhen Mi to the execution ground and sentenced them to death.

The next day, Xu Ji led Chen Zhi and 10,000 Yanzhou soldiers and 5,000 shadows to Youzhou.

Before leaving, Xu Ji asked Cai Yan to be a guest at the Zhen family, which was called a distraction, but Mrs. Zhang knew that this was a possible hidden danger for Xu Ji to be optimistic about Cai Yan, and at the same time, she also hoped that she would have a good relationship with Cai Yan, who was commensurate with Mrs. Xu Ji's sister. Cai Yan naturally has no opinions, she came to Jizhou out of Yining's suggestion and curiosity about Xu Ji, now Xu Ji clearly has no time to stay, and it is impossible for her to follow the army, so naturally it doesn't matter where she stays.

And Mrs. Zhang's first love was not long ago, but she actually didn't want to leave Xu Ji, so when she saw him off. Looking at Xu Ji's resentful eyes, Xu Ji's heart almost melted. But Xu Ji's careful thinking is not enough for outsiders, what he thinks is that "the wicked have their own wicked grinding". This Mrs. Zhang is a disaster, and Cai Yan is a trouble. simply let these two people toss each other, he, Xu Dagongzi, really didn't have the heart to toss these.

When it came to Yu Yuan Jian, Xu Ji ordered Liang Xi to hand him over to Shi A, who would come to Yecheng later, and asked Shi A to personally take this person to Zang Ba's army and prepare to deal with Yuan Shaoyong.

Of course, Shi A also has another task, that is, to return to Yanzhou to bring Liu Xie secretly to Yecheng, and prepare to quell the rebellion in Chang'an. After everything is over, Shi Ah will be left in the Zhen family, responsible for protecting Mrs. Zhang, Cai Yan and Zhen Mi. Xu Ji didn't want any more accidents.

Liang Xi, on the other hand, contacted Xun You as Xu Ji had instructed him to repatriate the officials who had taken refuge in the prefecture.

When Zhang Yan pretended to rebel, most of the officials in the state "fled" one after another. And now, under the command of Xun You, they have returned to Jizhou. These official histories were all the first students to study at Yanzhou Academy, and they were generally extremely talented. However, there is relatively little experience in politics. When he first took office, he suffered a lot of dark losses from the Yanzhou family.

But after coming to Jizhou, under the guidance of Xun You, he participated in the affairs of Jizhou Prefecture and made rapid progress.

And now the family in Jizhou has been hit hard. Zhang Miao, the spiritual leader, has been frightened by Yanzhou. And he was convinced by Xu Ji, Chen Gong, the actual leader of Yanzhou, had died unexpectedly, and he was very grateful to Xu Ji when he died.

After this incident, the family members of Yanzhou have already bowed their heads to Xu Ji. I don't dare to have two hearts for Xu Ji anymore.

The most critical thing is that in the Battle of Yanzhou, almost all of the most unruly families in Yanzhou died in the war. There is no super strategist like Chen Gong to plan for it. How much more storm can the family in Yanzhou set off? Therefore, under this trade-off, Yanzhou's rule has become easier than ever.

Meanwhile. The second batch of graduates sent by Yanzhou Academy were also really sent to various counties and counties in Yanzhou, which greatly enriched the power of reform and made Yanzhou become Xu Ji's sphere of influence in a real sense.

Everything is in order. Xu Ji and Chen Zhi went on the road in good spirits.

On the way to Yanzhou, Xu Ji and Chen Zhi kept receiving news from all over the world: the situation in Chang'an was becoming increasingly chaotic. Relations between Wang Yun and Lü Bu were even more strained, and the armies of both sides clashed from time to time. Cao Cao had pacified Jiangdong. However, he is also facing the same troubles as Xu Ji, the local family does not give Cao Cao face, and it seems that Cao Cao is busy during this time.

However, Xu Ji knew that Cao Cao would definitely find a way soon.

Cao Cao would never make the same mistake a second time.

In history, Cao Cao was betrayed by Zhang Miao and Chen Gong for ignoring the interests of the Yanzhou family. But after Cao Cao drove Liu Bei out of Xuzhou, Cao Cao showed astonishing strategic progress. Cao Cao ordered Chen Deng to sit in Xuzhou, of course, because he saw that he had no way to settle the local forces in Xuzhou at that stage, so he simply handed over to Chen Deng to take care of everything, which is a bit like a self-financing private enterprise in later generations.

Therefore, in history, Chen Deng once defeated Sun Ce's army, which was several times his size, and showed outstanding military talent.

Later, Chen Deng's mysterious death gave Cao Cao the opportunity to really possess Xuzhou. Xu Ji has reason to suspect that Chen Deng's death may have been done by Cao Cao in order to regain control of Xuzhou, but that is only Xu Ji's personal speculation, and now I am afraid that there is no chance of happening, after all, Xuzhou is already in his hands.

Therefore, Xu Ji was almost certain that Cao Cao would take control of Jiangdong sooner or later. What worries Xu Ji even more is that Cao Cao has now ordered his younger brother Cao Ren to withdraw to Guangling, which is known as using Yuan Shu's back road, and has carried out a forced immigration and relocation operation, Guangling, as the richest county in Xuzhou over the years, has a large population, so the population moving south will greatly strengthen Cao Cao's power.

After Sun Ce participated in the alliance, he took Tong Yu to Lujiang, picked up the big and small Qiao families, and rushed to Jingzhou, because the four southern counties of Jingzhou were under the threat of force by Huang Zhong, coupled with the powerful political offensive of Sun Ce's uncle Sun Jing, the four counties of Jingzhou had begun to accept Sun Ce's conditions, and the four counties of Jingzhou were expected to join Sun Ce's Chen camp without using force. Now for Sun Ce, the key to Jingzhou is to master the Yangtze River and Jingzhou's naval army. As long as he thought of the very likely cooperation between Yue Yue and Sun Ce, Xu Ji could know that it was not difficult for Sun Ce to control Jingzhou.

It's a pity that these places are beyond the reach of the whip now, so Xu Ji can only hope that he can assess the entire north of China as soon as possible.

The only good news is that Zang Ba's anti-bandit operation in Yuzhou has won a complete victory, and he has even recruited Yellow Turban generals like He Man, Liu Pi and Gong Du, who are known as prestige in the Yellow Turban Army, surrendered without fighting Zang Ba at all because of Zang Ba. By the time Xu Ji received the news, Zang Ba's army had captured no less than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops, of course, less than 40,000 of them could really fight, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled. But even so, Xu Ji was already overjoyed.

At this point, the army of Zang Ba and Bocai had been put into combat preparations to deal with Yuan Shao, and began to move south quickly, coming to the upper reaches of Yingshui, where Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's army confronted each other.

Xu Shu knew that Guo Tu was powerful, so he secretly went south, and he had already taken Yuan Jian to Zang Ba in the army. In view of the fact that there were fierce generals like Han Meng in Yuan Shao's army, considering that even Guan Hai might not be his opponent, Xu Shu simply asked Xu Ji for a transfer order and secretly seconded Zhang Yan's Gan Ning Gan Xingba to the army.

After all, Xu Ji had something to pass on to Xu Shu: Gan Ning, Gan Xingba's martial arts and his own personal guard Dian Wei were in the middle of the house. This evaluation is enough to make Xu Shu trust. The most important thing is that Gan Ning is a fresh face.

At the same time, Gao Shun also came with the news: Lei Shu had agreed to surrender Yanzhou, and Gao Shun's army had reached an agreement with Lei Shu, and when necessary, Gao Shun's army and Lei Shu's army joined forces, and the people of Yang went south to attack Yuan Shao's army commanded by Feng Ji in the north of Yuzhou. At this moment, Yuan Shao's fate was almost doomed.

Subsequently, Xu Ji came to Youzhou. (To be continued......)
