Liu He, Tian Chou and Yan Zhi all looked preoccupied when they left.

Liu He pretended to be safe, but Tian Chou and Yan Zhi were thoughtful, obviously Xu Ji's words had a great impact on these two people who were used to seeing alien races rampant on the grasslands on the border pass.

Xu Ji wants this effect, if there is a chance to subdue the two in the future, then he will have a great deal of confidence in the war against the grassland aliens.

Tian Chou has many strategies, and Yan Zhi is a person who is extremely familiar with the alien races of the grassland. After Xu Ji sent the two away, he went out for a walk around to see the physical condition of his soldiers, after all, the most feared thing about marching and fighting is not adapting to the water and soil, and the reason why Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Chibi was because his soldiers did not adapt to the weather in the south.

And in this northern Xinjiang, what Xu Ji is most afraid of is that his soldiers are infected with the plague, which will be bad.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already noon.

Xu Jicai finished lunch, and Chen Zhi led Yan Gang into the big tent. Xu Ji looked at the appearance and knew that this Yan Gang had been moved by Chen Zhi, and he was no longer looking at himself.

Chen Zhi said hello to Xu Ji and sat down, while Yan Gang still stood aside and was silent.

Xu Ji said with a smile: "General Yan Gang, please take a seat." ”

Yan Gang groaned slightly, and said to Xu Ji in a deep voice: "General Xu, I heard Shuzhi say that you, like General Gongsun, are interested in sweeping the northern frontier and emulating the story of Han Wu?" ”

Xu Ji turned his head to look at Chen Zhi, only to see Chen Zhi nod secretly, then nodded as well, and said in a deep voice: "That's true, although I have a deep enmity with General Gongsun Zhan." But I still appreciate General Gongsun Zhan's attitude towards the alien races of the grassland. ”

Yan Gang sighed and said, "I was originally a general under Lord Liu Yu, and the reason why I followed General Gongsun. It is because of this dream of General Gongsun Chan that he is a soldier. If you die on the battlefield. There was nothing to say, but the people at the border were not wrong, and the dog thieves of the different races of the steppe, relying on their superior riding skills, burned and plundered among the civilians. How can I swallow this breath? But Lord Liu Yu wants us to be patient, he sits in the high hall of the mirror, how can he know the bitterness of the people at the border? ”

After hearing this, Xu Ji was speechless, he had heard Chen Zhi and some veterans talk about these things, so he asked Chen Zhi to persuade Yan Gang to surrender.

Yan Gang continued in a deep voice: "Don't say anything else. Although I can't help General Xu Ji deal with General Gongsun, if I want to conquer those grassland aliens who killed a thousand knives in the future, please General Xu Ji don't forget me Yan Gang, Yan Gang is willing to be a pawn for the general to conquer the alien races! ”

Xu Ji shouted: "Good man! In this case, Yan Gang, you will wait in the army. You can first familiarize yourself with the military system in Yanzhou. Yan Gang's eyes flashed: "Isn't General Xu afraid that I will run away?" ”

Xu Ji stood up with a smile. walked in front of Yan Gang, handed Yan Gang a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "I prefer to wait for you to call me the lord of life when you conquer the northern frontier." His eyes were full of strong confidence and trust in Yan Gang.

Yan Gang's eyes flashed with gratitude. At this moment, a shadow walked outside the tent. Hand over a letter. Give it to Xu Ji.

It was a letter from Zang Ba.

Xu Ji smiled at Chen Zhi and said, "Look at what good news Xuangao has brought us." Yan Gang knew that the two of them had important things to discuss, strictly speaking. He is not a person from Yanzhou, at least for now, he is not completely under Xu Ji, and there are still many inconveniences here, so he turned around and said goodbye.

Xu Ji opened the letter. Half an hour later. There was a faint look of joy on his face, and then he handed the letter to Chen Dao.

After reading the letter, Chen Zhi's face welled up with ecstasy. It turned out that after Xu Ji's departure. Xu Ji ordered his subordinates to closely monitor Zhang Song's movements, while Zhang Song was traveling for a day. The shadow disguised as a robber and plundered Zhang Song in the middle of the road. When Zhang Song was about to die, another group of ghosts fell from the sky. Saved Zhang Song.

Zhang Song was very happy, and led this group of shadow leaders to form a friend of life and death, the two of them put their arms together, and went to the restaurant to drink, and finally helped the drunk and sang back, the two fell asleep, after Zhang Song was drunk and asleep, from Zhang Song's body found Xichuan's entry into Shu, depicted overnight. Now the map has been sent to Yanzhou. It's ridiculous that Zhang Song didn't know anything when he got up the next day, and he said goodbye to the leader of the shadow.

Chen Zhi smiled at Xu Ji and said, "Lord, this Zhang Song is really a fool, it seems that there is no one left in Yizhou." ”

Xu Ji smiled indifferently: "Uncle is so bad, don't you think this thing is easy?" The only thing that makes me glad is that Zhang Song is really careless, if it is someone else, how will I know that this Zhang Song will have a map of entering Shu in his hand? First of all, the Shadow Land intelligence is well done, otherwise we wouldn't have this surprise. Chen Zhi thought carefully for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Xu Ji said again: "Also, of course, it is very easy for the ghost I sent to pretend to be a robber, but the person who made friends with Zhang Song was carefully selected, Zhang Song is arrogant and arrogant, and ordinary people do not enter his eyes at all, unless it is a very high status and talented person can impress him, although the ghost I sent is a civil and military all-rounder, but to pretend to be a child of a big family, and that kind of arrogant celebrity demeanor, it is really difficult, Being able to achieve my goal on the first day of dating Zhang Song was already a big surprise that I expected. ”

After Chen Zhi heard Xu Ji's words, he knew the reason.

Speaking of this, Xu Ji remembered something again, looked at Chen Zhi and asked, "Where are Zhang He's four thousand shadows now?" ”

Chen Zhi replied in a deep voice: "Zhang He has received news that he has been on standby near Fanyang City according to Mr. Xun You's instructions to send reinforcements to the defenders of Fanyang City. ”

Hearing this, a smile escaped from the corner of Xu Ji's mouth, and he smiled at Chen Zhi: "Actually, what I was happy about just now is that Zang Ba has hinted in the letter that the friction between him and Yuan Shao has become bigger and bigger, that is, we can let Xun You take action now, and we don't have to hide our heads and tails anymore, let him work hard for so long, and he should also restore his original appearance." I have to see the right time to beat Yi Jingcheng down for me, and then pretend to let Mrs. Yu'er and the others go, and ask Mrs. Yu'er to meet Gongsun Zan on the grassland. and then capture him alive. And that Yuan Jian can finally come in handy. ”

Chen Zhi said in a deep voice: "Chen Zhi knows, I will immediately send someone to inform Mr. Xun You and Xuan Gao." ”

Xu Ji nodded. Before he could speak, he saw another shadow coming in outside. Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”

The shadow said respectfully, "My lord." Gongsun Chan sent a waiter, saying that he had something important to see the general. Xu Ji looked at Chen Zhi and smiled, "It seems that Gongsun Chan can't sit still anymore." ”

After a pause, Xu Ji couldn't help laughing out loud and said softly: "I really want to see what kind of expression Gongsun Chan will have when he finds out that the so-called my mother in his hand is actually a martial arts master who is extremely beautiful, and he is still holding the tip of a gun against his throat." ”

Chen Zhi's eyes flashed with amusement, but he didn't speak.

The one who came to see Xu Ji was Guan Jing, the underground military division under Gongsun Zhan. Looking at Guan Jing's arrogant appearance, Xu Ji quietly asked Guan Jing to sit down. In his heart, he was thinking about how to make Gongsun Chan march according to his intentions.

Unexpectedly, Guan Jing waved his hand and said with a proud expression: "No need." Lord Xu, my father-in-law only asked me to bring one sentence, if General Xu still wants to be a filial son, please help General Gongsun repel Liu He's army. ”

Xu Jixin called the drama meat to come, but on the surface, he pretended to be dissatisfied. He snorted and said, "Gongsun Chan has a good calculation, is he trying to threaten me Xu Ji?" Hum! Do you think that I, Xu Ji, am scared? ”

Xu Jidi's appearance was definitely inward-looking in Guan Jing's eyes, and he was even more dissatisfied with Xu Jizhen's name of Gongsun Zhan, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he couldn't help but sneer. So he said-for-tat: "Xu Ji." You don't seem to have many options, do you? ”

Xu Ji knew that the other party had preconceived and wishfully speculated about his heart according to his own wishes.

Showing weakness is the strategy of arrogant soldiers.

However, if you answer too quickly, it is inevitable that the other party will have doubts.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji frowned and pondered for a while, then hesitated: "It's not impossible for me Xu Ji to do this. It's just that if the world knows that I, Xu Ji, went to attack and kill the son of my former ally for the sake of my mother. It's morally unjustifiable, is it? ”

When Guan Jing heard this, he scolded Xu Ji for being a person who sold his reputation and reputation. But at the same time, he was also happy for Xu Ji's "submission", and said contemptuously: "I have heard for a long time that General Xu is clever, why can't I think of the key today?" You must know that my lord wants General Xu to do this, which is a foolproof strategy. ”

Xu Ji pretended to smile bitterly: "The authorities are fascinated." Lookers-on see most of the game. Please also ask Mr. Guan Jing for some advice. Guan Jing was stunned when he heard this, and put away a little contempt. said to Xu Ji: "General Xu is reasonable. Nowadays, there are many disturbances in the world, and it is really a game of chess. It's hard to see. ”

Xu Ji is still humble on his face, but he has already scolded in his heart, this Guan Jing is really a sour and rotten literati, but it is just a later idiom, which makes him feel like this, with this kind of person as a military advisor, Gongsun Zhan is undefeated? But now I am really helpless and forced to make a request for others, and I can only be silent at the moment. Guan Jing paused for a moment, and said: "General Xu Ji doesn't have to worry about this, although Liu He is the son of Liu Qi, but the army he raised to avenge is the cavalry of the grassland alien race, and now the internal war in Youzhou is continuous, and the cavalry of the grassland alien race burns and loots, Liu He has to take full responsibility for this matter, General Xu Ji went to attack Liu He, at that time to serve the country, for my Han to pacify the frontier, General Xu, do you say yes or no?" ”

Xu Ji scolded the other party for being shameless in his heart, this is definitely the urine sex of wanting to be a bitch and wanting to establish a chastity archway. At this time, Xu Ji couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Guan Jing's words are a bit wishful thinking in the eyes of the world, right?" If Lord Liu Yu didn't die, how could Youzhou be so chaotic? ”

Guan Jing was a little embarrassed, but he had his own set of words: "General Xu thinks too much, Liu Yu has always been a wolf with ambitions, and he had the ambition to be an emperor in his early years."

Xu Ji frowned and said, "Really? As far as I know, Lord Liu Yu doesn't have this kind of thought, it seems to be Yuan Benchu's idea. Guan Jing snorted coldly and said: "If I say it, Lord Xu, don't believe it, my father-in-law confiscated Liu Yu's family property after he caught Liu Yu, he has piles of gold and silver treasures in his house, and his wives and concubines are dressed in gorgeous and unusual clothes, and the sources of those clothes are Luoyang and Yanzhou." Not to mention anything else, as far as I know, after General Xu's rule, all the industries in Yanzhou have flourished, and Yanzhou has a style of making clothes that is not found in other places. It's a style that you can't learn anywhere else. In particular, Yanzhou's clothes will be equipped with special ornaments and brands made of bamboo. Once you take it off, you can't put it on your clothes anywhere else. That's not even a disguise. After a pause, Guan Jing said again: "Everyone in the world knows that Liu Yu has always prided himself on being innocent and honest. Even he himself was dressed in coarse cloth. Excuse me, where did he get so much money to decorate his wife and concubine? ”

Xu Ji was silent, the history books had written about Gongsun Zhan's raid after Liu Yu's death, but he only had a little impression, so he naturally had no right to speak and judge, but Yanzhou's clothes could not be disguised.

It seems that this Liu Yu is not very good. Guan Jing snorted coldly: "We even searched the emperor's crown and clothes from Liu Yu's home, these are ironclad evidence. General Xu has always attached great importance to the society of the country, and he is a model for the emperor's relatives and relatives, and now he attacks Liu He. It's really what everyone wants. Isn't it beautiful to be more loyal and filial?"

Xu Ji knew that most of these should be disguised by Gongsun Zhan. Especially Guan Jing's words to himself now, which are really very moving.

But it doesn't matter, that's exactly what I want. And at this time, he promised Gongsun Zhan's threat to himself that it seemed real. Xu Ji pondered for a while, and pretended to make up his mind: "Okay! Since General Gongsun has already thought of a perfect plan, then I, Xu Ji, will be a little ignorant if I don't agree. ”

Guan Jing's face welled up with a look of ecstasy that could not be concealed.

"But," Xu Ji said in a deep voice, "General Gongsun won't be a man of his word, right?" If I help General Gongsun, should General Gongsun send my mother back? Guan Jing knew that Xu Ji had this question today, and he knew even more that his father-in-law would never hand over Xu Ji's mother to Xu Ji. That was the only magic weapon for his own side to contain Xu Ji. At the moment, he showed a hypocritical smile and said: "General Xu, don't be anxious, of course my lord wants General Xu's mother and son to reunite as soon as possible, but now the ground in Youzhou is really not very peaceful, and my lord is afraid that there will be any accidents on the way to the escort place." That's a little bit unpretty. ”

Xu Ji had expected Guan Jing to say this, and said in a deep voice: "This is easy to say." I, Xu Ji, will definitely drive those scum of the grassland alien race out of Youzhou, but at least tell me Xu Ji where my mother is now? "How did Guan Jing know that Xu Ji was asking knowingly? I only felt that I was playing with the world-famous Xu Ji in the palm of my hand, which was really the happiest thing in my life. Therefore, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "General Xu, don't be in a hurry, we will definitely arrange for General Xu's mother and son to meet at that time." ”

This statement is very vague. Arrange a meeting, where is the meeting? Didn't make it clear.

Xu Ji naturally knew in his heart that this was impossible, but on the surface, he pretended not to know. Showing a chaotic look, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I hope General Gongsun will talk about it!"

Guan Jing was even more ecstatic when he saw that Xu Ji had "ignored" the trap in his words, stood up and high-fived Xu Ji and said, "If my Guan Jing's words don't count, I will definitely not die!" ”

Xuan Ji pretended to be careless and said: "But I heard that General Xu's mother is not very good, especially in winter, it is very difficult to breathe, the grassland is very windy and snowy in winter, even in the city of Youzhou is very cold, I hope General Xu will not drag the time too long!" “

Xu Ji's face changed before he was about to speak, but he heard an earth-shattering shout of killing coming from outside the big tent. Xu Ji and Guan Jing were stunned when they heard this, not knowing what was happening outside.

saw Chen come in with a curtain. Seeing Xu Ji, he said in a deep voice: "Lord, there are two generals under Liu He outside, who have come to fight against the enemy and scold the enemy. ”

When Xu Ji heard this, a flash of thought flashed in his heart: It seems that Liu He has gone back to tell his subordinates about the negotiation with him, which angered Liu He's grassland generals, who have always only known Gongsun Zan in the grassland, and they don't know the strength of the Yanzhou army at all, so they immediately came to challenge. However, from another point of view, Liu He's control over this army is really limited, otherwise how could this kind of thing happen if the Yanzhou army changed places?

I don't know how Yan Zhi and Tian Chou will react when they see this.

But most of you think what you said today is absolutely correct, right? But Liu He's coming to him today must not let this Guan Jing know, otherwise Guan Jing would immediately know that he had been preparing to deal with the grassland aliens for a long time, and then thought that many of what he did today in front of him was acting, if he was alerted and immediately went back to remind Gongsun Zhan, it would be very bad.

In order to prevent extraneous branches, Xu Ji hurriedly looked at Chen Zhi with his eyes.

What kind of spirited person is Chen? immediately understood the key and nodded to Xu Jiwei. Xu Ji deliberately said to Chen Zhishen: "Liu He's army? Hum! I haven't gone to him yet, but he came to provoke me first, yes, most of the news that Mr. Guan Jing came to me was known by the other party, and he thought of the purpose of Mr. Guan Jing's coming, so he came to threaten him by force. ”

Guan Jing didn't have him, thinking that what Xu Ji said made sense.

Chen Zhi immediately replied in a deep voice: "Lord, why don't you let Chen Zhi go out to share the worries of the lord." ”

Guan Jing didn't know Chen Dao, and glanced at Chen Zhi with disdain. Chen turned his head and came out.

Xu Ji said to Guan Jing: "Mr. Guan Jing is calm and don't be impatient, and I will ask Mr. Guan Jing to bring back a generous gift for General Gongsun later." ”

Guan Jing was a little confused.

At this time, there was already a shouting of killing from outside. After a while, he heard the cheers of the Yanzhou army, and Guan Jingzheng didn't know why, but he saw Chen Zhi enter the camp again, just holding two heads in his hands.

"Lord, these two people are Liu He's generals, and they keep saying that they want the main bus out of Mr. Guan Jing, and they were beheaded by me!"

Guan Jing's face changed, knowing that he had just walked around from the ghost gate. Xu Ji saw it in his eyes, knowing that he had deceived the other party to death, he sneered in his heart, but said sincerely on the surface: "Please also ask Mr. Guan Jing to contact more after he goes back, Xu Ji will be grateful in the future!" ”

Guan Jing nodded hurriedly and left with two heads.

Xu Ji sighed alone in the big tent: The battle of Youzhou should also start, right?! (To be continued......)
