In the middle of the auxiliary road on the right side of Tongtuo Street, there is a mansion, covering an area of more than 100 acres, hundreds of courtyards, it is the premier mansion on this street, and this is the mansion of Situ Yuan Kui of the dynasty.

On this day, Yuan Kui returned to his house and gathered his confidants to discuss how to deal with Li Yi.

Yuan Kui said: "This Li Yi is really an outlier, he will stand above the court in a short time, if he has any more military exploits, he will definitely be above us in the future." ”

This is not without purpose, the former general is second only to Jiuqing's official position, only two levels lower than his current Situ. If Li Yi makes great achievements again and is promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry or the general of the hussars, he will really be in the same ranks as him.

This night, not only Yuan Kui's mansion was talking about Li Yi's affairs, but in the area of Tongtuo Street, most of the mansions were talking about similar things.

Some families that were close to Li Ying decided to strengthen their ties with the Li family, but there were also many like the Yuan family who decided to suppress and restrict the Li family.

………………

Li Yi didn't know at this time that he had really stepped onto the stage of Han politics. Even, he didn't know that he didn't need to go west anymore.

At this time, he was in the capital of Xin, handling military affairs and preparing for the westward expedition.

Just when Li Yi was about to pick up another document after reading one document, Dian Wei walked in and said loudly: "Lord, there is a person named Xu Maogong outside who has come to join the army!" ”

Li Yi was taken aback by Dian Wei's loud voice, and said angrily: "By the way, can't your voice be a little smaller, it's not that I can't hear it, it's like thunder." ”

Dian Wei scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Lord, the last general was born with a loud voice, it's not small." ”

Li Yi waved his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, forget it." What did you just say? ”

"Oh, I said that a soldier came to report just now, saying that there was a guy named Xu Maogong outside the camp who came to join the army." This time, Dian Wei lowered his voice slightly.

"Xu Maogong?" Li Yi was overjoyed in his heart, after he summoned Xu Maogong just now, he didn't have time to ask the system, how did this Xu Maogong appear, and the system was already closed. At that time, Li Yi was very depressed, and muttered about the irresponsible summoning system.

Li Yi was also worried that Xu Maogong would make some trouble and run under someone else's command, but he didn't expect it. This Xu Maogong actually took the initiative to join the army.

Li Yi was in a good mood and said loudly, "Hurry up, please!" No, Ben will personally go out of the camp to meet ......"

With that, Li Yi set off and walked outside.

Dian Wei looked at Li Yi puzzled and asked, "Lord, do you know that kid?" ”

Only then did Li Yi remember that he had overreacted. But Dian Wei's brain is not very good, and he is easy to deceive. Li Yi casually found a reason and said: "Of course I don't know Xu Maogong, but he is the first person to come to join the army, so he will naturally be cautious." It's called buying horse bones. It's good for recruiting talent in the future, you know? ”

"I see." Dian Wei scratched his head and said approvingly, "The lord really respects talents. ”

Li Yi smiled. No longer spoke, and now strode out of the camp accompanied by Dian Wei.

When he came to the gate of the camp, Li Yi saw more than a dozen Youzhou Army cavalry watching a Confucian in a robe from a distance. The Confucian scholar was extremely tall, with a full eight feet appearance, but he couldn't see his face clearly because it was dark, but Li Yi knew that this was enough to assist him in his struggle for world domination.

Li Yi pushed away the patrolling soldiers and bowed deeply to Xu Maogong: "It's Mr. Xu?" Ben will be polite. ”

At this moment, he got closer, under the light of the torches in the hands of the soldiers, he could vaguely see Xu Maogong's appearance, only to see his early twenties, as a Confucian scholar, his skin was of course white, but the edges and corners of his face were clearly like a knife and an axe, two thick and heavy, obliquely raised up to bring out a kind of sharp eyebrows like a sword, is a pair of slightly sunken eyes. In the eyes as bright as amber, there is obviously a kind of naïve and thorough, but there are a few wisps of epiphany of the world that paradoxically, smiling at the red dust.

He had a kind and harmless smile on his face, as if he longed to be able to gain the friendship and trust of others, but the arrogance and nobility that had been precipitated for a long time had carved the deepest marks in his bones, but everyone couldn't help but feel a kind of self-shame in their hearts, and subconsciously kept a considerable distance from him. Therefore, there is always a helpless silence in his eyes.

He was holding a feather fan in his hand, unlike Zhuge Liang's half-black and half-white feather fan, Xu Maogong's feather fan was all white, just like his people, full of pride.

Xu Maogong hugged his fist at Li Yi and said calmly: "Cao Min Ji Yin is away from the fox Xu Ji, meet General Xiaocai." ”

Li Yi hurriedly supported Xu Maogong and said happily: "Mr. has come from a long journey, he must be a little tired, so he should go into the camp with Ben and talk again." ”

When he came to the camp, Xu Maogong first introduced himself: "At the beginning of this year, the Yellow Turban ant thieves rose up, plundered Zhou County, and the world was terrified. Ji was indignant in his heart, and he only hated the powerlessness to ask the thief. Fortunately, God blessed the great man and descended a heroic figure like the general. Hearing that the general Xiaocai raised troops in northern Xinjiang, pacified Youzhou, and waved his army south, he said goodbye to his family and came to meet him, and asked the general not to abandon him because of his young and shallow knowledge. ”

"Mr. is too polite, Mr. Li Yiguan's words and deeds will show that Mr. is a peerless talent. Now that the state is in decline, Li Yizheng feels that his own strength is weak, and he can get the help of his husband, fortunately, it is too late, how dare he give up! Li Yi said as he poured a cup of tea for Xu Maogong with his own hands, "Sir, please use tea!" ”

"I came by myself, and I didn't dare to bother the lord."

Xu Maogong was very satisfied with Li Yi's performance, and although he didn't dare to say it, he still took the teacup handed by Li Yi. And in his mouth, he naturally called Li Yi the lord, which was regarded as voting for Li Yi.

Li Yi sighed and said in a deep voice: "Since Mr. is here, the general will tell you about the predicament, and Mr. will be the staff officer for the general." Although Li Yi was lucky to exterminate the Hebei ant thieves, he was jealous because of his beauty in the forest, and he slandered the Son of Heaven and asked Ben to gather an army of 50,000 before September and rush to Yizhou to quell the rebellion of the rice thief Zhang Xiu. Now there are only five days left, but Jizhou is tens of millions of miles away from Yizhou, and it is difficult for Li Yi to lead the army to arrive even if he has two wings. But the Son of Heaven's decree has been decreed and has been fulfilled, so what can I do? ”

Xu Maogong shook the feather fan and said calmly: "The lord already has an idea, why do you need Xu Ji to say more?" ”

Li Yi knew that Xu Maogong had seen through his thoughts, and he was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, his face is thick enough, and he opened his mouth and said: "Li Yi knows that he has a short plan, although he has some ways to deal with it, it may be difficult to work." The so-called one person counts the short, and the two count the long, and please ask Mr. for more advice. ”

Xu Maogong nodded and said, "Since the lord asked, let's talk about it." The lord's worries are nothing more than the destiny of heaven. But the lord is a man of heaven, and naturally everything turns evil into good fortune, although the conspiracy of Xiaoxiao has succeeded for a while, it is impossible to pose any threat to the lord. The rice thief Zhang Xiu is just an ignorant person, and Hanzhong Taishou Su Gu is my great Han minister. The gap between the two is like heaven and earth. Su Gu retreated step by step, but he was just tempting Zhang Xiu to stay away from the camp and annihilate him at the lowest cost. I am afraid that the battle of Hanzhong has already been decided at this time. So, what else can the lord worry about? ”

"Oh?" Li Yi listened to Xu Maogong's words, and said with some skepticism, "Mr. is convinced? ”

Xu Maogong waved his feather fan confidently and said with a smile: "It's true." ”

At this time, Dian Wei walked into the tent again and whispered to Li Yi: "Lord, I just received a message from the military division from Beijing, Hanzhong Taishou has exterminated Zhang Xiu's traitors, and our army does not need to go to Yizhou anymore." ”

After listening to Dian Wei's words, Li Yi looked at Xu Maogong in a daze, Nima, do you want to be so godly?

Li Yi didn't believe that Xu Maogong had learned the news from Hanzhong before, because it was impossible. In this day and age, there is no other way to convey information than the Flying Pigeon. And this method of communication is only mastered by Li Yi, and it has only recently begun to be applied.

In other words, Xu Maogong really relied on analysis and judgment to reach a conclusion.

Li Yi had to express his admiration, this 99 resourcefulness is really a god. The resourcefulness of himself and Tian Feng is not low, one is 95, the other is 93, and the two of them thought about it, and only then did they come up with a few very reluctant solutions, and they spent a lot of money. But Xu Maogong just groaned slightly, and then unlocked the answer, and it was straight to the essence.

At this moment, Li Yi is 10,000 convinced that with Xu Maogong's assistance, his great cause of hegemony will inevitably be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Li Yi stretched out his thumb to Xu Maogong and said with emotion: "Mr. is really Zhang Liang reincarnated!" Ben had just received an urgent report, and everything was as Mr. expected. ”

Xu Maogong smiled proudly and did not speak.

Li Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Sir, although Ben Jiang has temporarily gotten rid of Xiaoxiao's calculations, as the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. I don't know how Mr. can deal with this situation. ”

Xu Maogong took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Of course there is." In fact, the lord's current official position is the best solution to know. ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "My official position?" Youzhou Mu or? ”

Xu Maogong nodded and said, "Yes, Youzhou Mu." ”

Xu Maogong subconsciously shook the feather fan in his hand and continued: "Although this Youzhou is the most remote and barren state among the thirteen states of my Han Dynasty, it is also the most blessed state. It is located in the northern frontier, far away from the center, as long as the lord is low-key, no one will pay attention to the court. The lord can develop slowly here, accumulate strength, and wait for the time of day. ”

Li Yi asked, "What is the time of day?" ”

"The gang often collapses, the king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, and the heroes rise together, that is, the time of the day." Xu Maogong waved the feather fan in his hand again and said slowly.

Li Yi was dumbfounded here, Nima, this Xu Maogong is too demonic, right? Isn't Mo already told everything by the system in this era? Or did he also come to this plane with his memories? (To be continued.) )
