Xu Shiji, who wanted to rush back to Wagang Village in Dongjun that day, changed his mind and decided to stay in Yuncheng for one more night. The reason was that he and Li Xian confirmed the news at noon, and finally he speculated that someone was deliberately provoking the disagreement between Yanyun Village and Wagang Village. Some people were instigated by the refugees in Leize Juye County, Dongping County, and the instigation was nothing more than trying to benefit the fisherman.

But the person who was in the layout would never think that the people from Wagang Village would come to Dongping County to question Li Xian. This was unreasonable, but this was not a violation of the situation for Xu Shiji. The reason was very simple, because Li Xian had saved his uncle Xu Xiaozi. But Xu Shiji came to Yuncheng in person not because of this favor, but because he knew from Xu Xiaozi that the soldiers and horses of Yanyun Village were strong. He was not sure to defeat Yanyun Village in one battle, so this time he came, one to question Li Xian, and the other to find out the truth.

The person who was in the layout did not know that there was this small matter, so he did not expect that two forces that should have been hostile because of this could sit down and talk calmly.

Xu Shiji arranged for people to go back to Wagang first and reported to the boss Zhai Rang that he had obtained this time with Li Xian. Wagang Village was ready to fight with Yanyun Village, and just waited for Xu Shiji to return and sent troops to conquer Dongping County. Wagang Village was full of men with great heights, so naturally they could not tolerate others bullying them. Especially Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Zhijie, who were as fierce as fire, how could they bear this tone?

He sent someone back and asked Zhai Rang and others to wait for news.

After Li Xian had dinner with him that night, the two of them left the quiet house of Li Xian Liuhua Lane, and walked slowly along Liuhua Lane, talking while walking. Xu Shiji waved his hand and signaled that the hundred gray-clothed army would not need to follow, and his courage was impressed. The two of them did not take their followers, and their pace was slow, and they seemed to be a reunion of an old friend who had not seen each other for many years.

After going on the street, they met a pair of cavalry patrolling the night. When they saw Li Xian and the other two, the cavalry quickly followed up and surrounded the two. The team led by the team was Li Xian and immediately got off the horse to pay their respects. Li Xian smiled and waved his hand to let him leave. The team didn't say much to get on the horse and turned around and left.

Xu Shiji looked at the backs of the cavalrymen who were leaving and sincerely exclaimed: "The general is good at governing the army, and I admire him."

Li Xian smiled and said, "If even his men and horses cannot be restrained, what else can he do? Someone once said that for generals, they are aware of astronomy and geography. Even if they cannot call the wind and rain, they must also understand the right time, place and people. However, in my opinion, it is actually all based on the word "governance of military commands". Commanding the soldiers and horses under them is like arm and fingers, which is the most basic thing for generals."

Xu Shiji agreed and nodded, "The legendary Marquis of Wu can invite the east wind for three days and three nights to drive the soldiers of Liu Ding and Liu Jia. In the end, it was not that the soldiers were defeated? After all, it was still that there would be no elite generals in the late Shu Kingdom. Even if he had the talent to shock the world and cry ghosts and gods, he could not use his troops like an arm to use his fingers, but he would still end up in a miserable end."

He smiled and said, "I'm talking a little far away. General, you might have guessed who the person who was the layout?"

Li Xian smiled and said, "Brother Maogong should call me Anzhi."

Xu Shiji nodded and said, "Then I'm not ashamed of it once, but how old are you."

Li Xian said: "It is difficult to know the person behind this scene! The one who should be most suspicious is Yang Yichen sent by the court. He was the ambassador of the confusing emperor, and it is reasonable to do such a thing. With the tens of thousands of troops under his command, it is impossible to defeat all the righteous troops on both sides of the Yellow River. He used such means to lead you and me to fight and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and then led his troops to defeat them one by one. Although the explanation is clear, I always feel that this matter does not seem to be done by Yang Yichen."

Xu Shiji asked: "Why?"

Li Xian smiled and said, "Yang Yichen is the most important thing. If he uses driving refugees as a means, even if he succeeds, he will probably ruin his reputation. There will be people in the court taking the opportunity to provoke him. Yang Guang is the most hypocritical and full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. He is also taboo to Yang Yichen, and he happened to take the opportunity to get rid of Yang Yichen. Yang Yichen is not a fool, and he would not have thought of this level."

"Do you think it's not an official army?"

Xu Shiji asked again.

Li Xian asked Xu Shiji with a nod, "Brother Maogong thought, except for the government army, who else could have such a plan? It can be called a character."

Xu Shiji frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "I really can't think of who it is if I have such a calculation. If it is the most likely, maybe... Wang Bo seems particularly suspicious."

Xu Shiji looked at Li Xian and chuckled: "You were in Daishan last year, but you didn't leave him polite."

Li Xian laughed silently and said, "It would be uncommon for him to think about it for a year if he had come up with this plan."

As the two were talking, suddenly a few flying tiger spies in blue shirts ran over from Liuhua Lane, and the leader ran to Li Xian and bowed and clasped his fists: "General, there is military information!"

Li Xian frowned slightly, waved his hand and said, "But it's okay."

The secret spy looked up at Xu Shiji, hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "The scout came to report that King Bo of Zhishilang of Jibei five days ago, raised all his troops and horses and headed straight for Dongping County. Now it is estimated that it is less than 200 miles away from Sucheng."

Xu Shiji's face changed slightly. When he looked at Li Xian, he saw that he still looked dull.

"Brother Maogong."

Li Xian smiled and said, "It seems you guessed the wrong person."

...

...

Xu Shiji knew why Li Xian said that he had guessed the wrong person. It was very simple. If Wang Bo had come up with this plan to sow discord, how could he be impatient to lead his troops to attack before the plan was successful? He could have led his army to come when Yanyun Village and Wagang Village were both defeated. At that time, it was very likely that he would have captured Dongping County and Dong County in one breath.

At this time, Wang Bo happened to attack Dongping County, which shows that this strategy must have been not what he thought of.

"Another chess piece!"

Xu Shiji sighed: "The person with this layout has a broad vision and has actually stirred up the situation in the three counties. This man was willing to disrupt Dongjun, Dongpingjun, and Jibei County at the same time. What was his plan? If he wanted to benefit from the fisherman, wouldn't he think that the situation was too big and could not be controlled at all?"

Li Xian waved his hand to signal the secret spy to leave and said, "I'm afraid... this person never thought about controlling the situation in these three counties."

Xu Shiji's eyes lit up and said, "He just wants to disrupt the situation and let the green forest roads on both sides of the Yellow River kill each other!"

Li Xian nodded and said, "Brother Maogong is right. I am afraid that this person's plan is not in this three counties, nor is it in you, me, Wang Bo."

He clasped his fists at Xu Shiji and apologized: "Military situation is urgent, Brother Maogong forgives his crime."

Xu Shiji replied, "You go by yourself, and I happened to be sleepy and go back to rest."

Li Xian nodded and said goodbye, headed straight to the county magistrate's yamen, and went straight into the living room. Daxi Changru, Zhang Zhongjian, Tie Liaolang, Ye Huaixu and others were all here. Li Xian signaled everyone not to salute. He walked to the main seat and sat down and asked Ye Huaixu, "When did you get the information?"

Ye Huaixue said: "Just just now, the news sent back by the secret spies in Jibei County day and night. I only delayed half an hour in Sucheng, and three war horses died along the way. The person who sent the message came to Yuncheng and saw me and fainted."

Li Xian nodded and said, "There is no need to be too urgent. Since the secret spies have already gone to Sucheng first, Xiongkuohai will guard there. With the combat power of the Huotu Camp, even if Wang Bo has an army of 150,000, it will not be easy to conquer Sucheng."

Daxi Changru Dao: "It is better to send people back to Juyeze overnight and send new recruits to Juye and Leize to guard them, and exchange them for the troops of Qingmu and Liehuo. In addition, let Chen Que'er lead the navy to go straight to Xuchang. The navy is fast and will meet with Xiongkuohai one step earlier than us. Moreover, the flood camp is in Xuchang, and you can reach Sucheng in two days and two nights."

Li Xian nodded and did not continue to talk about military affairs, but turned around and ordered Tie Liaolang, "Change five hundred elite cavalry and encircle Liuhua Lane, no one from Wagang Village is allowed to leave."

Tie Yaolang was stunned for a moment and immediately got up to make arrangements.

Daxi Changru frowned and said, "Why, Xu Shiji also knows that Wang Bo leads his army to attack?"

Li Xian nodded and said, "I have to be careful. If Xu Shiji returns to Wagang Village, if we take advantage of the battle with Wang Bo, we will be in great trouble."

Ye Huaixue suddenly said to the Iron Lang who had already left the door: "Don't have conflicts, don't hurt people! If the people from Wagang Village do anything extreme, as long as they don't kill people, they won't fight back, scold them, or fight back!"

She sighed and said, "If you hurt the lives of the people from Wagang Village again, it will be really troublesome."

Xu Shiji returned to the village of Li Xian in Liuhua Lane, and was not in a hurry to sleep. He was in the mood to ask Li Xian’s personal soldiers who were guarding the door to find some wine and food. The personal soldiers had received instructions and immediately went to buy them. Soon, they delivered a lot of ready-made wine and food to Xu Shiji's room. Xu Shiji poured and drank it himself, and looked quite content.

The gray-clothed army leader who was cursing outside the county magistrate's yamen in the daytime walked in and was stunned when he saw Xu Shiji drinking. He asked in surprise: "Why is the military advisor not resting yet? We have to hurry up tomorrow morning."

Xu Shiji smiled and said, "Brother Yao Jin, sit down and have a drink with me."

This man with square face, beard, strong and burly figure and bright eyes was actually Cheng Zhijie, the leader of the horse army in Wagang Village!

"Eat wine? If I get drunk, no one will wake up tomorrow morning!"

Cheng Zhijie smiled and said.

Xu Shiji first filled Cheng Zhijie with a glass of wine, and then smiled and said, "It's okay, even if you are drunk tonight, I won't punish you. Come on, let's have this cup first."

Cheng Zhijie picked up the wine glass but put it down again, and smiled bitterly: "If the military advisor doesn't say it, I don't dare to drink this wine no matter what."

Xu Shiji drank all the wine in the glass, picked up a piece of cooked meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly: "You can get drunk tonight, so you don't have to rush to sleep until the sun is midday. We... can't leave for a while."
