Bang!

This was not the first sound of the room inside, and many people outside, including powerful soldiers in armor and beautiful maids with pale faces, trembled nervously every time there was a cracking sound of such utensils in the room.

After a long time, a slightly hoarse voice came from the room: "Come in." ”

Hearing this, several subordinate officers and generals of the Xuzhou Thorn Mansion rushed in.

In the room, Xi Jian was dressed in a black robe, his beard was slightly messy, and there were a large number of fragments of utensils scattered on the ground. However, Xi Jian was unaware of this, and his slightly bloodshot eyes continued to roam the few people who walked into the room, and those people also held their breath and concentrated, bowing their heads silently, just tending to enter.

"Later, there may be a different dispatch in the town, everyone keep their duty, don't take it seriously. Yuzhou's relatives preached to me, and it is not a big deal to slightly attract the popularity of this party to fill the void of the land. ”

Although he had tried his best to control his emotions, Xi Jian's tone was still slightly trilled when he said this, showing that his mood was really difficult to call peaceful.

When everyone heard this, they each looked at each other, and in addition to surprise, there was also no lack of surprise in their eyes, and they bowed their heads one after another, not daring to say anything else.

"General Lee, stay for now."

Xi Jian's position is in the middle of Li Hong, this person is his descendant in the town, but Xi Jian was secretive about things earlier, and he did not pull him out of the prominent position. But at this moment, he did not hide his trust in Li Hong, and when the generals in Xuzhou heard this, they all surrendered and retreated, but when they looked at Li Hong, there was no lack of envy or ridicule in their eyes.

When everyone retreated, Li Hong took a step forward, clenched his fists and said, "Lord......"

"Needless to say."

Xi Jian waved his hand, interrupting Li Hong's words, and then said with a solemn expression: "Gather the available divisions in the town as soon as possible, and assemble outside Guangling City in the shortest possible time." ”

After Li Hong heard this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded.

For this henchman who has been following him for a long time, Xi Jian has a lot of desire to talk, but he opened his mouth a few times, but he had a thousand clues in his heart, and he didn't know where to start, so he just sighed and said: "Go, as soon as possible." Those who do not obey the order should first record the order book, and there is no need to entangle. ”

When Li Hong also bowed with his fists and retreated, Xi Jian returned to the table as if he had collapsed, holding a letter between his hands, and the paper was trembling in small increments.

"Hate me can't ......"

After a long time, Xi Jian suddenly sighed.

Shen Weizhou's letter and Yu Yi's letter were delivered to Xi Jian at the same time, and the content was similar, and the pros and cons were all explained in detail, hoping to recruit some military leaders and people in Xuzhou, so that the new land could quickly recover.

For the contents of these two letters, Xi Jian was sincerely resistant and even annoyed, although there were many pros and cons in the letters, but in Xi Jian's eyes, it was tantamount to the most vicious sarcasm.

As the head of the local governor of Xuzhou, no matter what kind of extravagant words these two people said, they couldn't cover up their behavior of stepping on the line. It is true that Shen Weizhou's letter said that several families gathered in this house, and Xi Jian was also tired of it for a long time, and he hated to eradicate it immediately, so that the Xuzhou military order could be implemented more thoroughly.

But the desire to die of hatred is one thing, and the fact that the other town so openly probed its hands into his town is tantamount to bluntly saying that Xi Jian has no way to govern the land, so that he can be separated. Although this is also true, for Xi Jian, it can really be called humiliating.

But being embarrassed and angry is one thing, and on the other hand, the plan proposed by the other party can indeed ease his situation in Xuzhou a little. The military leaders of the Xuzhou Department who were excessively unruly and did not obey the orders of the military and government were swept out in exchange for a part of the interests in Beijing. Such a deal is indeed very cost-effective for Xi Jian.

In Xuzhou, there are countless people who swim and eat, and the people who are attached to the south near the Huaishui River are still pouring in, even if they lose some people, it is not a loss that hurts the muscles and bones.

Although intellectually recognized, he was emotionally unacceptable, which was one of the reasons why Xi Jian was irritable.

Earlier, Cao Na broke away from the Xuzhou camp and switched to Shen Weizhou, which has made Xi Jian embarrassed, but this incident can still be comforted by the alliance as an excuse, but now the families listed by Shen Weizhou are not only limited to the Pengcheng Cao family, but also involve many families, and it is difficult to ignore it indifferently.

But Xi Jian also understands that since the other party has told these people the truth, it can be seen that the two sides must have some contact and tacit understanding. Even if you are hindered here, you may not be able to stop it. Instead of forcing a face, it is really better to take this opportunity to sweep these people away from Xuzhou Town.

In this way, the situation in Xuzhou may be temporarily turbulent, but because of the lack of these thorns, it can make the cohesion of the Xuzhou department greater, and it is really not a loss.

And the reason that made Xi Jian feel angry the most was not only this, but more importantly, what Shen Weizhou said in his letter that Prime Minister Wang actually wanted to recommend Cao Na as the prime minister of Guangling!

"Guangling Xiang? Joke! ”

Now the town of Xuzhou is in Guangling, and Guangling is also one of the important military towns in the north of the Yangtze River, and its position is equivalent to the captain of Jingzhou Nanban, or the Taishou of Liangjun in Yuzhou, which can already be regarded as the deputy of the history of the assassination.

Not to mention whether Cao Na has this ability and prestige, this alone has touched Xi Jian's bottom line. Prime Minister Wang Cheng wanted to recommend Cao Na as the prime minister of Guangling, and his purpose was obvious, which was equivalent to a clear attitude and wanted to remove Xi Jian from the position of Xuzhou assassin.

Whether this matter is successful or not, it will be a serious blow to Xi Jian. You must know that he was able to serve as the assassin of Xuzhou and sit in Guangling, not because he was the most powerful among the many military leaders in Xuzhou, but because of his old reputation and the appointment of Taichung. But without the support of Taichung, in the eyes of those unruly military leaders, what are the so-called old celebrities!

Xi Jian needs the support of Taichung, even more so than Jingzhou. It was not that I had not thought about making friends with Wang Cheng before, so as to take advantage of the internal and external echoes. But it's a pity that things are unpredictable, and the situation has evolved to this point, which is not something he can control.

Because he was not completely attached to Prime Minister Wang, Prime Minister Wang hated to sweep him away immediately! This kind of clue is not in front of him, since Wu Jun Gu He served as his long history, Xi Jian has felt about it.

If he could, he didn't want to be too hostile to Taichung, after all, the situation in Xuzhou was too complicated, and without Taichung's support, it would be difficult for him to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou. Therefore, in this regard, Xi Jian also turned a blind eye, as long as it does not affect the overall situation of Xuzhou, he is willing to maintain the current situation of Gou'an.

But Prime Minister Wang is too much this time, could it be that he regards Xi as a slave of the Wang family? If you can't use it, you have to get rid of it? What kind of conceit is this, and what kind of plaything is the state affair? The situation in Xuzhou, Xi Jian is deeply involved, and naturally knows how difficult it is, and his position is by no means something that can be replaced by anyone!

"Why do you look at me like an enemy? There is no meaning of forbearance! ”

Xi Jian said to himself, half sad and half indignant in his heart. The situation he has worked so hard to maintain has always wanted to include the land of Xuzhou and many pleasure foods in Xuzhou under the Wang Sect, as a solid barrier in Jiangbei, why are there always so many constraints!

While he has a lot of grievances against Prime Minister Wang, Xi Jian also has a lot of grievances about Yuzhou's robbery, but in fact, there is no lack of envy in his heart. As a border town uncle, he has no plan to recover the land, but there are too many branches in Xuzhou, and although the armor wins, it is difficult to make a leap forward.

But in any case, Taichung is now an undisguised expression of malice, and Xi Jian is by no means a person who sits idly by, even if there is any resistance in his heart, making friends with Yuzhou and resisting the center with the power of Fang Zhen has become a road he has to embark on.

"Whoever harms me, the world is also!"

Shen Weizhou's old voice, now recited in Xi Jian's mouth, is even more sad. Many helpless, difficult to speak, the lesser of two evils. In the face of the urgent situation in Taichung, Yuzhou took advantage of the fire to rob, but there was a bit of warmth.

To be able to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, Xi Jian is by no means single. After this decision was made, the atmosphere around Guangling suddenly became solemn. A large number of people in armor gathered inside and outside the city, and there was no shortage of rumors on many dock walls, and they had the right to defend themselves behind closed doors. At the same time, there are also a lot of rumors, all of which are confusing.

In the face of such a situation, a military order issued by the Assassin's Mansion is much more reassuring: all the troops are preparing for war and will advance to Xuyi and other important Huaidi towns!
