Liu Xie figured it out, then smiled at Xu Ji and said, "Da Sikong, you should look at this matter, I don't have any opinion." But after all, Lai Yan'er and I are husband and wife, please save a little face. ”

Xu Ji nodded, knowing that Liu Xie's so-called little face meant to preserve a little dignity for the royal family surnamed Liu, he immediately turned his head to Wang Tu and said, "General Wang Tu, please go on your way." ”

Wang Tu's breathing became rapid, but his eyes were full of determination, and he said to Xu Ji: "Lord Sikong, Wang Tu has only one request, and I hope that Lord Sikong can fulfill it." Xu Ji nodded: "Wang Tu, I understand what you mean, I will definitely bury the corpses of you and Miss Lai Yan'er in one place, but it is not good to leave your name on the inscription of the tombstone." ”

Wang Tu smiled and said: "This is already my Wang Tu's luck, and I don't dare to ask for any more luxury." ”

Lai Yan'er, who had been standing aside and not speaking, as if this matter had nothing to do with herself, said at this time: "Thank you, Lord Sikong, being able to go to Huangquan with Wang Lang is really the greatest pleasure in Yan'er's life." Xu Ji nodded, waved his hand, and the two soldiers snatched it out and pulled Wang Tu and Lai Yan'er down.

Lai Yan'er and Wang Tu were killed by Xu Ji, and the happiest person should be Ma Teng's daughter Concubine Ma, because no one will compete with her for the position of queen anymore, but now Concubine Ma is not happy, because Concubine Ma knows that Liu Xie has completely lost the value of her own use and fighting. The distribution of power in Chang'an City has been completely unbalanced, and now Xu Ji has the final say in Chang'an City, and no one can balance Xu Ji, even if he has won the position of queen. It doesn't help the overall situation of the world. hated his age and body, so he lost it to Liu Xie, a useless person. Does it not make her indignant?

Concubine Ma was silently thinking about her thoughts there. I heard Xu Jilang say in a loud voice: "Holy Lord." Now the Lanshu officials in Chang'an City are all people from the Wang Lifu Party, and there are also many Cao Mengde's subordinates. Fortunately, God bless the Han, they have all been arrested by his subordinates, how to deal with it, and ask the Holy Lord to take it. Liu Xie knew that Xu Ji was looking for an opportunity to eradicate dissidents, and he also understood that everything that happened in Chang'an City during this time was expected by Xu Ji. I couldn't change it at all, so I nodded and said: "Please watch and handle this matter, but don't kill too much, it hurts Tianhe, I'm tired." Want to have a good rest. In the future, this kind of thing will be done by Lord Sikong himself.

Xu Ji nodded, but said in a deep voice: "The Holy One is the Son of Heaven, and if he really has the virtue of a good life, then his subordinates will follow the will of the Holy One." How to deal with them according to Yanzhou's military law? Liu Xie heard this. His body trembled slightly. He naturally knew what Xu Ji meant, and this was obviously already grabbing power.

The officials who disposed of the Han Dynasty used the law of Yanzhou, so what status did he, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, have?

But now the imperial court is not fully organized, and the law is not complete. Moreover, Yanzhou's military law is indeed much better than that of the Han Dynasty, and his "false emperor" who has no rights is really unable to prevent this from happening. If nothing else, if he dismissed Xu Ji's intentions, then the first thing Xu Ji had to do was to arrest Concubine Fu and Concubine Dong around him and kill them. It is used to prove that Wang Zifu and others have ill intentions. How could Liu Xie tolerate such a thing? I have nothing now. There are only a few pillow people left, and Lai Yan'er has made him very sad, and now he really doesn't want any accidents to happen to his dearest people.

After a long pause. Liu Xie sighed lightly and said, "Just do it according to the will of the big sikong." Xu Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately led everyone to bow to the ground. He knew that from this very moment. The rule of the Han Dynasty will be completely shaken, and Liu Xie will also be forgotten by the people, and it will not be long before he can replace him.

Concubine Fu and Concubine Dong held their hands tightly together, trembling slightly, knowing that their father and brother were finished, but they couldn't do anything, the only lucky thing was to save their lives.

Concubine Ma had a more gloomy face, and she also saw the purpose of Xu Ji's doing. Shi A, who had been standing aside and didn't speak, immediately let out a long breath, knowing that Xu Ji had tried his best, and finally let Liu Xie willingly agree to all the requests, otherwise, he really didn't know how he would deal with himself if Xu Ji had no choice but to kill Liu Xie.

After Xu Ji achieved his goal, he got up to say goodbye, and Liu Xie did not leave him, so he ordered Shi A to send Xu Ji and others out of the palace. Along the way, Shi Ah said to Xu Ji: "Why didn't the lord take the opportunity to cut off Concubine Ma in one fell swoop?" ”

Xu Ji smiled and explained: "There are two reasons, one is that Brother Shi must be able to see that Ma Teng's daughter looks delicate, but she is a hidden master, don't forget that this woman has Ma's family martial arts, and some evil things of the Wudou Mi Sect, which are really not to be underestimated, and she was standing on the edge of the saint at that time, even if you and I and General Zhang Xiu joined forces at that time, it may not be able to ensure that this woman does not have the opportunity to blackmail us with the saint, if the saint has any accidents, Then we will regret it. Shi A raised an eyebrow and said, "The Lord is reasonable, but what about the second reason?" ”

Xu Ji smiled and said: "Where there is a first come, first come, now our enemy is Cao Cao, there is really no need to mix the Northwest Army into the situation, although this Ma Concubine can find a reason to attack Xiliang Ma Teng, but we should see that the person involved in Ma Concubine is not just Ma Teng, but the entire Northwest Warlord Alliance." ”

Shi Ah suddenly realized. There is no need to explain many things thoroughly, and now Xu Ji's purpose is to recapture Xiapi and look across the river from Cao Cao, so as to ensure that there are no worries when conquering Hanzhong and Yizhou in the future.

As for Ma Chao and others, they will have to wait until the future to clean up. And this has been seen by everyone present.

Deng Ai and Jia Xu glanced at each other, their eyes were full of smiles, of course these two people saw the other deep meaning of Xu Ji's doing, Xu Ji did this in order to prepare for the abolition of Liu Xie in the future. Now what if Concubine Ma is arrested? It's nothing more than adding a mediocre charge to Liu Xie. But I'll find out this concubine in the future. That's different, people will have this incorrigible thought of Liu Xie. At that time, Xu Ji's abolition of Liu Xie was really justified.

First, he was confused by Yu Ji, an authentic Taoist priest from Langya Palace sent by Cao Cao. was confused by Concubine Ma, who had the dual identity of Wudou Mijiao and Ma Tengdi's daughter, what wisdom did Liu Xie have to say? Xun Yu also said on the side: "There is one more point. Now we have just opened the trade route between Yizhou and Hanzhong, and we are weakening the strength of both places. Fight together. Isn't it halfway? Moreover, it also has an adverse impact on the recovery of the world's economy, so the battle with Ma Teng and others must not be started lightly. “

Everyone nodded in agreement. Xu Ji was greatly relieved to see that from the perspective of economic interests, the military has increasingly become the consensus of the Yanzhou military, and this will become a good thing for the benefit of future generations.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the saying that soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, and throughout history, all countries and countries have shocked the armies of ancient and modern times with iron discipline.

However, the imperfect ancient military system also has another kind of foundation, that is, the reckless use of military force. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's army was not strong, but it was criticized by later generations, and he praised his martial arts. There will also be references to his arrogance and self-indulgence. Emptied the treasury in his later years.

The reason for this. It is nothing more than that the people who wield this iron army do not have a sober and rational mind. Controlled by desires and impulses, war naturally loses its proper meaning.

In this regard, the general staff in the modern military system has played a very good role of checks and balances, and before the order is issued, every qiē can be discussed, and only after the qiē becomes a final conclusion, will it be completely and thoroughly implemented. Of course, the composition of the General Staff is a kind of learning, and it does not mean that the General Staff is omnipotent. For example, Prussia, which was the first to create a staff system. Although it played a huge role in the Franco-Prussian War, the General Staff became a constraint when the Austro-Prussian War was being conducted.

Moltke, who came from a military background, could not understand Bismarck's intentions and only tried to win a war. But it didn't start from the overall situation, which caused a lot of trouble.

Therefore, no matter what system is in place. It's all about people. Now that the generals of Yanzhou have taken the initiative to consider the military and economic politics, this is undoubtedly a great epoch-making progress.

With such a group of people, it is conceivable that the Chinese army will be a crazy and rational iron army in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji laughed and said, "You have a point, but before that, we still have a battle to fight with the warlords in the northwest." Jia Xu and Deng Ai called out at the same time: "Li Dao Guo Yan." ”

Xu Ji nodded vigorously and said, "That's right!" ”

Subsequently, order in Chang'an was quickly restored. Xu Ji announced the crimes of Wang Zifu and others to the residents of Chang'an.

Residents of Chang'an City were closed for less than three days. I only knew that Chang'an was in turmoil, but I didn't know what was going on. At this time, the truth of the matter was obtained from Xu Ji's mouth, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar immediately. Although they all knew that Wang Zifu and Xu Ji were incompatible, they didn't expect that Wang Zifu and others would suddenly attack, but the most unexpected thing was that Wang Zifu and others actually sent people into the palace to coerce Liu Xie. This is really a great rebellion.

In the midst of indignation, Xu Ji used Yanzhou's military law to try Wang Zifu and others in the name of Liu Xie.

Dong Cheng's matter was the biggest, and after being tried, he was sentenced to be executed for three crimes, including arson, poisoning Sikong, and sending a woman to the palace to flatter the master. Wang Zifu, Fu Wan and others were punished accordingly according to the severity of the crime.

However, no one cared that Xu Ji was using Yanzhou's military law to deal with these people, on the contrary, everyone thought that Xu Ji was dealing with these people impartially, without the slightest intention of revenge.

If it was someone else, he would not take the opportunity to strike at the dissidents, but Xu Ji did the opposite, treated these people leniently, and did not harm his family at all, and this behavior was immediately praised by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people. Even the families of those criminals have no objection to this, but are full of gratitude.

And so it goes. In the praise of the people of the world. The law of the Han Dynasty was imperceptibly replaced by Xu Ji, and from this time on, no one said "the law of the Han Dynasty", only "the law of Yanzhou".

The various systems of Yanzhou have been continuously applied, making necessary preparations for the change of dynasty in Xu Ji. However, Xu Ji did not solve the affairs of Cao Cao's subordinates such as Wang Tu and Yu Ji with Wang Zifu and others, Xu Ji thought that in this way, people in the world would only regard Cao Cao as a fisher in troubled waters, so he was ready to wait until the problem between Li and Guo Yan was solved before Cao Cao, the manipulator behind it, came out of the water. It gives a shocking effect.

For a moment, everyone's eyes in Chang'an were focused on the northwest battle situation.

Li urged Guo Yan, who had been stationed in Qinchuan. I didn't know that Chang'an City had undergone great changes, after the Chang'an problem was resolved. They received the news of Lü Bu's retreat, and they scolded Lü Bu for his treachery. One side is pressed to observe the shape shì. They also knew that Tian Feng's army in the Chang'an region was numerous, so they didn't dare to act rashly, so they sent more scouts. Cruise around in case of the unexpected.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu's army, which was ordered to return to the front line and rushed back, divided a detachment. Under the leadership of Jia Xu, he crossed the river and went straight to Chencang. He then made a detour north back to Qinchuan and launched a surprise attack on Li and Guo's army there.

Li urged Guo Yan's army to be defeated by Jia Xu's army, and the wolf bèi abandoned the city and fled, and his general Hu Chi'er was shocked by Hu Che'er and vomited blood after encountering his brother Hu Che'er. Li Dao Guo Yan's army encountered Tian Feng's army that had already been ambushed on the way, and Li Dao Guo Yan was surrounded by Tian Feng on three sides, and was killed by the generals Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao. Li Dao and Guo Yan were almost wiped out, and Hu Chi'er was killed on the spot by Zhou Cang.

When Li Dao Guo Yan escaped from the siege, there were only ten cavalry and more than 20 infantry left by his side. The rest of the army was all absorbed by Tian Feng.

Li Dao and Guo Yan went all the way to the north and went straight out for more than 100 miles before throwing off the pursuers. The frightened man stopped to rest on the way back to stability. It was at this time that he met Lu Bu, who had reached an agreement with Xu Ji, and Lu Bu arrested the two without much effort, tied them with ropes, and sent Cao Xing and Song Xian to Chang'an and handed them over to Xu Ji to deal with.

As for Anding and Shicheng, which were occupied by Li Qi and Guo Ji, they were taken by the greedy Lu Bu.

Xu Ji knew that it was not a wise move to divide his troops to two percent now, so it was better to sell his favor to Lu Bu and ask Lu Bu to take charge of the two cities. Anyway, Lu Bu can't do much, even if he is given three cities, he can't turn the sky. What's more, he can trick Lu Bu into continuing to guard the frontier for himself?

After Li Qi and Guo Yan were escorted to Chang'an, Xu Ji turned the matter of Wang Tu and others on the table.

The residents of Chang'an City were shocked again, who would have thought that Yu Ji, who was known as the Great Immortal Land, would actually be Cao Cao's person. The matter of Wang Tu and Lai Yan'er is even more shocking, and the truth of the previous incomprehensible mystery is also revealed. It turned out that the person who killed Ding Fei was Cao Cao's hand, in order to keep the secret.

As for Li urging Guo Yan, they are two stupid helpers that Cao Cao used to deceive Ji by superstitious means, and they are insignificant at all.

When Cao Cao's helpers arranged by Chang'an came out one by one. The civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty in Chang'an City were even more shocked, and they realized that Cao Cao had already begun to arrange a qiē a long time ago. Before that, everyone said that Xu Ji wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. But now it is found that Cao Cao has begun to confuse the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Compared to Xu Ji, Cao Cao's methods are really insidious.

Many people sighed in their hearts after seeing this scene. Under the sky of this big man, are there any loyal ministers? Liu Xie's ministers, princes, and other seniors led troops into the palace. The concubines around him are not only the tools that the ministers send to gain power around them, but also the spies like Lai Yan'er. Even living immortals like Yu Ji have another purpose, let alone powerful princes like Cao Cao.

For a time, not only was the prince's party in Chang'an City swept away, but even Cao Cao's reputation as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who had always regarded himself as loyal to the Han family also stinked, and even Liu Xie's reputation was reduced to the lowest point. Originally, the people of the world were very sympathetic to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who had never had rights, but now no one thinks so, because the rebellious prince was promoted by Liu Xie, and the four daughters were married into the palace by Liu Xie himself, and Yu Ji's momentum was also created by Liu Xie himself after he got the news, so now that there is such a big problem in Chang'an, no one will say that this is the result of Liu Xie's inability to control the government, because this qiē trouble and chaos are all directed by Liu Xie.

Therefore, the reputation of the faint monarch soon fell on Liu Xie's head, and the questioning of Liu Xie's ability reached an unprecedented level. And this is exactly the result that Xu Ji and others hope to see. Or this is Xu Ji's purpose of deliberately indulging Liu Xie, of course, Xu Ji's purpose is more than that, he actually has another deeper meaning, he wants Liu Xie to recognize his ability, but this is estimated to be only known and believed by Yining. As Liu Xie's sister, although Yin Ning has long said that she will not interfere in Xu Ji's major affairs, she will inevitably be dissatisfied, which is also what Xu Ji promised Yining, and he is also to prove to Yin Ning that Liu Xie does not have the ability to govern the world, and even Liu Xie cannot govern Chang'an.

In this way, Liu Xie's influence on the world has gradually disappeared, almost nothing. In the midst of the crusade of the people of Chang'an City, Li Xuan, Guo Yan, Wang Ze and others were either pushed to the guillotine or imprisoned.

As for Wang Tu and Lai Yan'er, they received a more dignified death, and after death, the bodies of the two were buried together, fulfilling the wishes of the two people.

Xu Ji, who had just finished dealing with Chang'an City, had to pay attention to the battle for Xiapi, but he didn't expect an accident.

This can really be described as "people are not as good as heaven"! (To be continued......)
