However, the point is not how to play Zhong or Guo Jia, although Xu Ji slowed down the speed of the march, Jiwu is still close.

But what makes Xu Ji strange is that there is still no movement on the Jiwu side, which is exactly what Xu Ji wants to see the most, which means that all of Xu Ji's plans have become utopian, the so-called constant response to all changes, and this attitude on the Jiwu side actually makes Xu Ji the most helpless. And what's even worse is that if Xu Ji can't find a breakthrough, he will come in vain this time.

All premeditation is based on the countermeasures of the other party's relative reaction, and if the other party does not have any response, then it is natural that it will not be able to take advantage of the situation. Xu Ji's current problem is like this, Jiwu put on an attitude that Xu Ji is still inspected, and it is clear that there is no flaw, which makes Xu Ji hate it but has no choice, although he is the superintendent, but Xu Ji does not have the power to dismiss or appoint a county magistrate at will.

Because of this, Xu Ji had to stay not far from Jiwu under the pretext of illness, he really didn't want to rush into Jiwu before he found a way to deal with it, he couldn't inspect it once every ten days and half a month, it was not in line with etiquette. And Gao Shun naturally didn't have any opinions, in fact, he was very puzzled by Xu Ji's various worries, and in his opinion, there was no need for such trouble. However, Xu Ji was certainly not interested in explaining his troubles to Gao Shun.

Of course, Xu Ji can also forcibly take it back to himself, but will Zhang Miao let himself go? The answer is obviously no, not to mention whether Zhang Miao will do it himself, he only needs a book to fold his official position in Luoyang, and then he will find an excuse to clean himself up, wouldn't it be easy? Xu Ji is so cautious, because he doesn't want to leave a flaw for Zhang Miao. The matter of Yuxian County, Xu Ji has already made Zhang Miao feel uneasy, but fortunately, Liu Xian did it first, even if Xu Ji is not selfless, but in terms of etiquette, there is nothing wrong with it, it is Zhang Miao who is silent, but Xu Ji is very sure that if he has a little illegality, then Zhang Miao will not let it go. Xu Ji himself knows very well that for Zhang Miao, who is too guarded, it is not a good thing to have such an unstable guy as Xu Ji in his range of power, not to mention that Xu Ji already has an attitude of wanting to divide and conquer him.

But even with so many constraints, Xu Ji still had to take risks, and he wouldn't have much time. The Yellow Turban Rebellion will soon be extinguished, and the Yu Kou in various places will not be able to make any big mess for a while, and the next big Han will inevitably fall into the situation of fighting for power from all sides again, and the best way for Xu Ji, who is weak and weak, to be swallowed up by others, is undoubtedly to make himself stronger. And all this, Xu Ji can only rely on himself.

After the news of Zhang Jiao's death came before, Xu Ji knew that the Yellow Turban was not far from defeat, and sure enough, in less than half a month, Zhang Liang replaced Zhang Jiao but was defeated by Huangfu Song, and retreated to Julu again, and the lonely city could not be defended for a long time, Zhang Liang's defeat was only a matter of time, Xu Ji must lay himself a large enough territory before the Yellow Turban completely failed, because Zhang Miao had pacified most of the northern part of Chen Liu by relying on the strength of the family, and soon he would be able to free up his hands to solve Xu Ji's trouble.

Xu Ji doesn't think that he has the strength to fight with Zhang Miao now, not to mention that Zhang Miao's official position is greater than Xu Ji's, and Xu Ji really understands that he is just like Zhang Liang, and failure is only a matter of time.

And Xu Ji is also so nervous that he is planning to seize Jiwu and Xiangyi when Yuxian County is not completely stable, he must get Chen Liu's lifeline, and with this to make Zhang Miao throw a mouse bogey, this lifeline is undoubtedly Xiangyi.

And Jiwu's move is to push the battle line to Xiangyi, Jiwu is only a few hours away from Xiangyi, Xu Ji is gambling, betting that Zhang Miao will not dare to force himself to jump over the wall in a hurry, and betting that Guo Jia can seek to win Xiangyi for himself. Or rather, gambling on their luck. Although Xu Ji is a person who does not believe in fate, he knows that sometimes he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven. Now, that's it.

And with these distractions, Xu Ji had to force himself to suppress the worries in his heart, he knew that these things were unpredictable for the moment. And although he is now surrounded by dark tides, he is not yet alive and dead.

In the early morning of the second day, Xu Ji got up early in the morning, did not alarm the soldiers in the camp, and went out of the camp alone, he needed to go and relax. There is a large continuous forest near the place where Gao Shun camped, and Xu Ji's destination is here.

There were no people in the mountains and forests in the early morning, which was also what Xu Ji wanted, and it was rare for him to find a place where he didn't come to disturb and didn't have complicated affairs, so he fell into contemplation while walking.

But Xu Ji ignored one thing, the so-called many fierce beasts in the mountains, this mountain forest is not so safe, and Xu Ji has already been targeted.

Xu Ji is not a person who practices martial arts, and his five senses are naturally not so good, so it is naturally difficult to detect these. Even when Xu Ji was still immersed in his own thoughts, he suddenly heard a rough voice say: "Housheng, be careful!" ”

After hearing this, Xu Ji looked down, and the scene he saw was almost so frightened that he didn't possess his body, but fortunately, he was also a person who was born by luck under the sword soldiers in the early years, although Xu Ji was frightened by this big worm, but he maintained a trace of calm, at this time, if he was at a loss, this big insect would take advantage of the situation to take his own life. And Xu Ji only saw the man who reminded him at this time, this is a man in a cloth jacket, with a yellow face and many beards, and he looks fierce, seeing Xu Ji like this, the man let out a hearty laugh: "I can't imagine that you, a thin scholar, still have such courage, which is admirable." ”

Xu Ji smiled faintly and said, "I can't say that I have the guts, I just don't want to take advantage of this beast." But the chivalrous man is not afraid of the tiger, and it is respectable. ”

These two people don't take the big worm in front of them seriously, but it's different, Xu Ji doesn't dare to make a move, this beast stares at himself with a pair of dark eyes, Xu Ji believes that as long as he dares to make a move, this beast will pounce on him and end up with himself. And the man on the opposite side obviously didn't want to do anything, just looking at his thick arms, you could know that this was not a simple figure.

Seeing that this man had no intention of helping him, Xu Ji was also ruthless, and simply stood motionless, and the beast saw Xu Ji like this, so he naturally didn't dare to act rashly. Xu Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, people don't hurt the tiger, the tiger is harmful to people's hearts, who did he provoke? I'm going to make this beast's belly meal today.

And about half a pillar of incense passed like this, and the man opposite Xu Ji also watched in place like this, Xu Ji smiled bitterly and said, "What is this chivalrous doing?" Presumably, this beast has only the interest of eating me, so if you don't leave early, when will you wait? ”

The man shook his head and said, "This beast is my favorite prey, and I have been chasing it for several days, how can I let it go?" ”

Xu Ji couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart when he heard this, this guy is interesting, what you said is true, then let Xu Ji be stared at by this beast, is it fake, this man is not leaving. And Xu Ji's legs were already faintly sore at this time, obviously not standing for a long time, Xu Ji knew that he might not be able to escape this disaster, so Xu Ji simply smiled and said: "Well, since this is the case, Xu Ji will sacrifice himself to be your bait and catch this beast with you." ”

The man on the other side shook his head again when he heard this: "Wait a minute, this beast can't bear it anymore, you don't move in the next life, since you see me, how can you let you be swallowed by this beast?" ”

After hearing this, Xu Ji couldn't help but scold this man for being a bastard, feeling that he was grinding away this beast's temperament with himself, but Xu Ji didn't have anything to say, after all, it was just a good thing that he didn't try to take his life, not to mention that this man's meaning would still save Xu Ji from suffering, Xu Ji really wanted to scold and laugh.

And at this moment, the animal that was originally lying in the grass was vivid, and it kicked back with its hind legs, and its body pounced on Xu Ji like an arrow from the string, Xu Ji saw that the animal was vivid, and just wanted to move his body, only to feel that his legs were weak, and he couldn't move at all.

And the man also rushed forward at this time, shouting in his mouth: "Housheng, lie down." Hearing this, Xu Ji smiled bitterly, where could he move, so he had to lie down, just when Xu Ji's back touched the ground, the white shadow flashed in front of him, and he only felt a fishy breath coming, thinking that the beast had spread over him.

And after the big insect that didn't succeed in a blow landed, one of them took off and wanted to pounce on it, and at this time, the man had already rushed to Xu Ji's side, and the man took out a small halberd from behind him and threw it violently. Xu Ji found out that this man was dressed as a hunter, and he had always been a nearby hunter.

Xu Ji raised his eyes and looked, and the small halberd approached the big insect just when the big insect took off, and the beast didn't have time to dodge, and was stuck in the left eye by the small halberd. The beast let out a roar, and the ferocity was even more ferocious, and the hair on its neck seemed to explode. The man next to him smiled and said, "Good beast, come on, come on, wait for a certain family to give you a few colors and see." ”

Xu Ji really didn't dare to move at all at this time, this big man looked very ordinary but he was also a humanoid tiger, looking at the means of this guy throwing a halberd, you could know that what this guy said about chasing this beast for a few days is not fake.

At this time, the man bowed his head and said to Xu Ji: "Housheng, don't move, I'm afraid this beast has no intention of dying, and I'll save you when I clean it up." Ignoring Xu Ji's reaction, he walked after the beast.

Xu Ji turned his head to look, only to see that the beast's choice after receiving the injury was to turn around and leave, if this big man didn't say that Xu Ji really thought that the beast ran away, but this big man obviously meant that the beast was likely to go and return, Xu Ji couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, now it is really called the state that the sky should not be, and the earth is not spiritual.

And what surprised Xu Ji even more was that the beast jumped away from the stream, and the man jumped over without slowing down, Xu Ji couldn't help but admire in his heart, what a fierce warrior.

But at this moment, Xu Ji's mind didn't care too much about this man, his legs were paralyzed because he had been standing for a long time, and he couldn't move to the east at this time, he couldn't help but hope that Gao Shun would come to look for him immediately when he saw that he was not in the camp, otherwise I am afraid that he would really die in the mouth of the beast today.

As for the man who chased the tiger, Xu Ji didn't expect him to come back to save himself.
