Despite his doubts and incomprehension, Xu Ji had no intention of disobeying, this was also a promotion, and disobeying the edict of the king of a country, this is not a wise choice, so although the trouble of staying in Luoyang will only be more Xu Ji can only accept it, and his department is already stationed in Xiyuan, and only his troops in the Eighth Army of Xiyuan are already complete, even if he can escape from Luoyang, what should these soldiers do?

Of course, with the announcement of the announcement, the ensuing controversy cannot be avoided, and the remaining candidates have nothing to say, but the positions of Jian Shuo and Xu Ji are really unconvincing, Jian Shuo is just that, after all, this is Liu Hong's former celebrity, and he is also a person that Liu Hong trusts very much, but what about Xu Ji?

There are very few people in the huge Luoyang City who know Xu Ji, this kind of unknown person has become one of the eight captains of the West Park overnight, and Xu Ji's position is only second to Yuan Shao, if you really want to talk about it, the most famous among the eight captains of the West Park is undoubtedly Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is under Jian Shuo, everyone can understand, but Xu Ji is an identity? Flipping through his resume, this kid is only sixteen years old, not to mention, his previous position was just Chen Liuyi's post supervisor, why did he sit in this position?

Not to mention others, even Yuan Shao himself is quite disdainful, although Xu Ji has a record of defeating Zhang Miao, but what does that mean? Zhang Miao is just a Taishou and Zhang Miao is not good at governing the army, he even asked Cao Cao in person: "How do you feel that Meng De is condescending to this incompetent junior?" ”

But Cao Cao didn't have such an idea, Xu Ji's ability he knew the way, and this was by no means an inexplicable arrangement. Of course, Cao Cao didn't think that he would be inferior to Xu Ji, but Liu Hong's consideration as the emperor could also guess a few points. Xu Ji's net worth background is much cleaner than the rest, and even Cao Cao dares to assert that the actual core of West Garden is not Jian Shuo but Xu Ji. The reason is very simple, Jian Shuo is just a eunuch, what does Yu Zhijun know? If Liu Hong wants to control an army, he needs someone who knows the soldiers, and Xu Ji is undoubtedly Liu Hong's choice.

But the only thing that made Cao Cao wonder was, why did Liu Hong think that Xu Ji would sincerely serve him? Cao Cao, who has worked with Xu Ji, knows him well, this is a person with his own demands, Xu Ji is not the kind of person who will be foolish and loyal, and even Xu Ji is not a person who can serve others.

Of course, despite all the discussions in the outside world, the recruitment of the West Park Army still began in full swing. And Xu Ji, as a lieutenant of the lower military academy, also has the right to recruit soldiers, but he did not do this, first of all, all the elites he brought from Yu County were the elites under his command, Gao Shun's requirements for the soldiers were too high, and the personal guard battalion of the commander of Lejin valued loyalty, so Xu Ji just moved his camp to the most secluded corner of the West Garden very calmly, and with the stationing of the rest of the departments, the originally quiet West Garden also began to be lively.

However, Xu Ji still didn't make any moves, and even ordered not to leave the camp unless necessary. The reason why Xu Ji did this was very simple, he had no connections and no background in Luoyang. At this time, he was originally a figure on the cusp, and it was best not to cause anything at this time, as for Liu Hong's meaning, he naturally didn't understand it, but Xu Ji just took it as a joke. He is not a foolish person, Liu Hong has given a little favor and a small favor, but there is no need to work for him, and now self-preservation is what Xu Ji cares about the most.

But the controversy didn't end there. There are even some intensifying meanings, Xu Ji naturally knows that this is caused by those forces that have not been given a chance. Xu Ji has no way to do this, the only thing that has changed is that Xu Ji is becoming more and more secluded. Xu Ji, who wanted to avoid this storm, ushered in new twists and turns.

Cao Cao came to visit. As an old friend of the battle of Wancheng. Of course, Xu Ji couldn't turn him away, although it must not be a good thing for Cao Cao to come, Xu Ji still had to meet him.

The meeting place was in Xu Ji's big tent, Xu Ji had no one around him except Dian Wei, and Cao Cao only brought a young man to come.

"Since the farewell of Wancheng, Wen Lie's demeanor has become even worse, and now he is above Meng De, and I hope to take care of him." Cao Cao's joking opening did not work well, Xu Ji smiled bitterly and motioned to Dian Wei to pour wine for Cao Cao, and then replied: "Mengde, why are you also trying to ridicule me?" Xu Ji's matter, Meng De should know very well. ”

Xu Ji's answer is not a simple word, the so-called Cao Cao knows that Xu Ji's matter is a hidden needle, Xu Ji asked Cao Cao to say something for him, but Zhang Miao still chose to attack, Xu Ji has not forgotten this.

Cao Cao also understood the meaning of Xu Ji's words, and also explained with a smile: "Wen Lie didn't know, after I got the news, I immediately sent my clan brother to persuade Meng Zhuo, but Meng Zhuo didn't listen to me, it's really not that Meng De is unwilling to help." ”

Xu Ji naturally won't believe this, the relationship between him Cao Cao and Xu Ji is not so good that he is in a hurry to help as soon as he asks for help, and Cao Cao's scheming is not deep, Xu Ji really doesn't want to talk to this "old friend".

"Meng De didn't come here just for these things. Let's put it bluntly. Hearing Xu Ji's words, Cao Cao also knew that Xu Ji didn't have the leisure to talk to him, but the purpose of his coming this time was really nothing other than to explore Xu Ji's reality, so Cao Cao smiled: "Wen Lie's temperament is getting more and more anxious, and it's okay to it, but I just wanted to come and take a look." Wen Lie, you better be careful, Meng Zhuo has a very close relationship with Ben Chu, and he has a better relationship than me, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not find trouble with Wen Lie. ”

Xu Ji frowned: "Yuan Benchu? ”

"Yes, yes."

To be honest, Xu Ji is indeed a little worried that Yuan Shao will find trouble for himself, this is Luoyang, Yuan's power is not small, no more than his own lonely family, but the only thing that makes Xu Ji a little puzzling is why Cao Cao told himself this? Cao Cao was obviously not on his side, so what was his intention in telling himself this? Thinking of this, Xu Ji had just let go of all his vigilance and raised it again, Cao Cao told himself that he was probably not at ease with any good intentions, and if he said that because of such a little friendship of working together, Xu Ji would never believe it.

Of course, Cao Cao could also see Xu Ji's defense almost on his face, and he smiled bitterly: "Why should Wen Lie be like this? Cao Cao has no intention of harming him, not to mention what is the conflict of interests between Cao Cao and Wen Lie? Even if Wen Lie loses his official position, it will not be my turn to replace Cao Cao. That's all I say, Wen Lie cherishes. I took my leave. With that, he withdrew from the camp with the young man behind him.

After leaving Xu Ji's camp, the young man behind Cao Cao asked, "Why should my brother endure this?" It's not a big deal for a military captain now, what do you think of your brother's kindness? Cao Cao smiled and replied, "Zilian." You don't know this, I was a little reckless when I came this time, and now he is on the cusp, and it is inevitable that he is a little overvigil, how can he blame him? After a pause, Cao Cao said: "Also, Zilian, don't look down on Xu Wenlie, this person will become a great weapon in the future, have you ever had his status and ability at his age?" Don't forget that he's just a humble man. Be cautious in the future. Learn more about filial piety! This was said in a loud voice, and the young man behind Cao Cao was naturally Nuo Nuo, who didn't dare to say anything.

And Cao Cao looked back at Xu Ji's camp and sighed, judging from Xu Ji's attitude today, this West Garden is probably not that simple. Not to mention Yuan Benchu's party, it is this military captain who is the master of trouble, he is much more mature than when he was in Wancheng, and this is just a more complicated battle in the West Garden.

Yuan Shao would never let Xu Ji go easily, and Xu Ji would not sit idly by, if this continues, the Xiyuan Army will be destroyed in constant internal friction sooner or later. And Xu Ji's ability Cao Cao has some understanding, and Yuan Benchu is by no means Xu Ji's opponent, compared to Xu Ji, Cao Cao still favors Yuan Shao in his heart. But he won't stop it, first of all, he has no reason, even if he knows that Yuan Shao is not an opponent. But, will Yuan Shao believe it?

Therefore, Cao Cao had nothing to do but sigh faintly. And Xu Ji was still distressed. The current situation is extremely unfavorable for him, and now it seems that only by falling to Liu Hong can he save his life. But Xu Ji knows very well that Liu Hong just regards himself as a pawn of his, at least now he is just a pawn, so his importance obviously does not reach the level where Liu Hong has to spend the price to keep himself, so how to face Yuan Shao has become the biggest problem, and this opponent is probably second only to Zhang Rang that Xu Ji has faced so far.

But fortunately, even if Yuan Shao had the heart of Xu Ji but did not show any flaws, Xu Ji still did not need to worry too much at the moment, Yuan Shao did not dare to blatantly find trouble with Xu Ji, because it was almost equivalent to slapping Liu Hong in the face, but this was only for a while, as long as Xu Ji was a little careless, he believed that Yuan Shao would never be stingy to spend time and energy to solve himself.

So before that, Xu Ji must find a weapon that is enough to fight against Yuan Shao, at least he must have the ability to resist reason, otherwise he may not be able to live long in Luoyang.

As for Zhang Miao, Xu Ji no longer thinks about it, the power he left in Chen Liu is enough for Zhang Miao to worry about, Guo Jia will not be much easier to deal with than himself, and the defeat of Yuxian County almost wiped out eighty percent of Zhang Miao's troops, it is no longer realistic for him to want to do it, and the matter of playing with his heart and eyes will be left to Guo Jia to solve.

But although there are no worries, the situation in front of Xu Ji is still not good, even if he is still weak in the West Garden except for Yuan Shao's hidden dangers, Jian Shuo can barely be regarded as the same camp, but Jian Shuo is still in charge of the affairs of the palace, so the eighth captain of the West Garden on the bright side actually only has seven soldiers and horses, and Jian Shuo is just the commander, so Xu Ji has to face that he has six opponents, and he still only has less than a thousand soldiers around him.

Of course, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to meet each other in arms, but it is inevitable to find trouble, this is just the first day they entered the West Garden, Chun Yuqiong's subordinates came to provoke, if it wasn't for Xu Ji's side to take advantage of the reason, I was afraid that I would have to draw a sword at that time, and finally pressed this matter temporarily under Cao Cao's mediation, Xu Ji didn't think Cao Cao was kind, this was just to avoid greater trouble, in the final analysis, it was to keep Chun Yuqiong, this matter was told to the emperor Xu Ji or stubbornly held the truth, None of his corporal or soldiers spoke out of their command, and they didn't hurt anyone, even if they made a big deal after the most trouble, it was only Chun Yuqiong, and he Xu Ji was still a military captain.

And the reason why Cao Cao came out to mediate is also no way, who is Chun Yuqiong? Without asking, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao naturally wouldn't sit back and watch his own people have an accident, but he didn't want to have anything to do with it, so he simply ordered Cao Cao to mediate, which is nothing, but in this way, Xu Ji looked at Cao Cao undoubtedly without a little politeness, Cao Cao also had a bitterness and couldn't say it, and he was just a speaker on official positions. It is even lower than Xu Ji's Tun Cavalry Captain, not to mention Yuan Shao's position as a Tiger Lieutenant General. In the military rank of West Garden, he was also a military captain. In terms of seniority, he is still lower than Yuan Shao, so he still has to follow Yuan Shao's words. And Xu Ji's dissatisfaction is not wrong, he has to endure this breath despite the reason, where does such a truth come from in the world? His official rank and rank are higher than Chun Yuqiong, what is the result? It was he who suffered a loss, and he would be dissatisfied with this matter on Cao Cao, not to mention that Xu Ji was only sixteen years old.

Yuan Shao was naturally extremely dissatisfied, he was dissatisfied with Chun Yuqiong's ineffective handling of things, this little thing could not be done, and now not only did the matter not work out, but also exposed himself, and it may be even more difficult to grasp Xu Ji's handle in the future. What's more, once Xu Ji has the heart of precaution and the emperor's care, it will be difficult for him to have a chance to solve Xu Ji again.

Of course, Yuan Shao didn't just want to target Xu Ji for the sake of avenging Zhang Miao, to put it bluntly, he still valued Xu Ji's position as a lieutenant, and the reason why Yuan Shao valued this position so much was very simple, his Pengshi family was not satisfied with just "four worlds and three dukes", who didn't want to update one step? Now there are only two people in the West Garden that he can't call, one is Jian Shuo, which is natural, people obey Liu Hong's orders, and the other is Xu Ji. And the reason why Xu Ji didn't obey him was very simple, he didn't rely on relationships at all and was not afraid of Yuan Shao's background, Xu Ji had no background, so he was also Liu Hong's person in Yuan Shao's eyes. And Xu Ji is different from Jian Shuo, because Jian Shuo doesn't know soldiers, but Xu Ji knows all this. Therefore, the biggest obstacle for him Yuan Shao to control the Xiyuan Army is Xu Ji, in other words. If Yuan Shao wants to control the Xiyuan Army, he must get rid of Xu Ji, or at least drive Xu Ji out of the Xiyuan Army.

But now that purpose has become not so easy. Xu Ji was already very careful, and deliberately provoking could not achieve his goal, now that he has precautions, it is even more difficult to calculate Xu Ji, Yuan Shao also has a headache, and now he can finally understand Zhang Miao's pain, Xu Ji is like a hedgehog, although he is in front of him, he can't find a place to start.

And Yuan Shao understands very well that in terms of the current situation, Liu Hong must have the next step, otherwise Xu Ji is so questioned that it is a huge problem for him to control the Xiyuan Army, and Liu Hong cannot rely on a Jian Shuo who often can't stay in the army to control the Xiyuan Army, so Yuan Shao is almost absolutely sure that Liu Hong must have a backhand, and this move can not only make Xu Ji gain enough trust but also firmly tie him to Liu Hong's chariot. But what is that trick? Why does Liu Hong, a sixteen-year-old boy, value him so much? Even the identity of one of the eight captains of the West Park can't make Xu Ji feel at ease?

Yuan Shao suddenly began to be curious, he actually didn't know about this opponent he wanted to kill him, and even Yuan Shao didn't try to understand this person at all, but at this moment he suddenly realized that he might have made a mistake, but fortunately, it was not too late at this time, Yuan Shao still had a lot of time to study Xu Ji.

But for Xu Ji, there is no such good thing, Yuan Shao's almost open targeting really makes him very unhappy, but he can only endure it without temper, the dissatisfaction of the soldiers Xu Ji of course knows it, but he really has no choice, the situation is stronger than people, Xu Ji will not fight a battle that must be lost, and there is such a battle in front of him, and a head-on war with Yuan Shao has no chance of winning for himself, and he may pay a heavy price, so Xu Ji can only endure it.

It's just that this is not a way, Yuan Shao took the initiative, he can't be on guard all the time, once he catches the opportunity, it will be a bleak ending, but what else can be done?

Xu Ji got up very early on the second day, he actually didn't sleep last night, he has been thinking about countermeasures, but he has not been able to find any good way, to say that there are many ways to lose both, but then Xu Ji has no way to deal with the troubles that come one after another, which is also the reason why Xu Ji is unwilling to die and break the net, because once he does that, he still can't get out, and he has to lose all his capital, which is a loss compared to trading.

And Dian Wei also got up early, he guarded outside Xu Ji's tent until the third watch before changing shifts, so he knew that his lord was afraid that he would stay up late again, and Xu Ji had done something about running around in the morning, if he hadn't met himself Xu Ji would have died in the tiger's mouth, although there were no tigers in Luoyang City, but there were people who were far more dangerous than tigers, who knew if anyone wanted to take Xu Ji's life, Dian Wei didn't dare to be careless.

Xu Ji finished washing up just as the sun was rising, but his camp ushered in an unexpected visitor.

"Captain Tunqi, the emperor ordered you to enter the court today." The person who came was a small yellow door with a face, and the only thing that proved his identity was in Xu Ji's hand at this time, it was a holy decree, and it was written that it was the order for him to enter the palace.

Xu Ji looked suspicious, what did Liu Hong mean by summoning him at this time? Zhang Miao's matter has also ended, and the only thing left now is Xiyuan Army. Thinking of this, Xu Ji immediately suddenly realized that what Liu Hong had to do on this trip was probably to collect his own heart and solve the trouble for himself by the way.

The matter of receiving the heart is Liu Hong's focus, but what Xu Ji wants is for Liu Hong to solve the trouble for him, although the purpose is different, but knowing that this trip is beneficial to him, Xu Ji took Dian Wei to the palace happily.

Xu Ji is also very curious, how will Liu Hong solve the problem of his identity, and what means will he use to subdue himself?

However, Xu Ji would never have expected that there was a huge surprise waiting for him. (To be continued......)
