Just look at it from Cao Ang's perspective.
This man is indeed somewhat handsome.
He has a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, and the few strokes of beard on his chin look extremely elegant. Combined with his scribe's attire, he is indeed extraordinary in style.
Much more presentable than that guy Li Ru.
Of course, no matter how handsome he is, there is still a big gap between him and himself. There is still tens of thousands of Dong Zhuo's difference between them in appearance.
The young scribe trotted all the way to Cao Ang. After taking two deep breaths, before Cao Ang could speak, he took the initiative to salute with his hands and fists.
"Your Excellency, are you Cao Ang and Cao Zixiu?"
Cao Ang was sure that he did not know this person, and he was quite confused. Could it be that his reputation was so great that it spread throughout Luoyang City?
But no matter what, he handed it over politely.
"It's you, who is your Excellency?"
This person did not answer the question immediately. On the contrary, after hearing Cao Ang admit his identity, his face clearly showed joy.
The whole person's spirit became visible to the naked eye, and he raised his hands forward again, making a direct bow.
"It is true that Cao Zixiu is truly unparalleled in his loyalty and righteousness. Today I can see his true face. He is truly extraordinary. He is worthy of being a loyal and good man to me. Please accept my respects first!"
This gesture is quite a courtesy. Most people will bow slightly when meeting and talking, but not to this extent.
What's more, the two of them have never met before and don't know each other.
But after listening to this man's words, Cao Ang understood.
It turns out to be my little fanboy!
Oh my, how embarrassing this is.
I had forgotten that I was still a loyal person of the Han Dynasty, an unswervingly loyal and patriotic person, a brave and staunch person who could stand up for the dignity of the Han royal family, and was not afraid of power and violence.
Mainly because it’s my first time and I have no experience.
I didn't expect that people would recognize me even when I was walking, and they would come over and bow to me.
At this time, Cao Ang truly realized the effect of fame, and the effect was simply heaven-defying.
A person like himself does not have a high official position, rarely shows his face in front of civil and military officials, has no academic works, and is not a peerless general.
In fact, it is difficult to encounter this kind of scene.
When others are walking on the road, even if they recognize you as the son of Cao Cao's family, they will not take the initiative to come over and make friends with you. There is no need for that.
But after he gained the reputation of being a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and a man of ironclad patriotism and loyalty, things suddenly changed.
You always have the reputation buff wherever you go.
No matter where you are, someone will come up to you and call you a Taoist friend, and they will look like you admire him and regard Cao Ang as your superior.
This feeling is really good!
For now, the news only stays in Luoyang City and has not yet started to spread to other places.
Wait until the reputation has fermented.
Everywhere you go, show your name.
Immediately there will be countless people who want to be friends with him and have a good look at what the so-called loyal and unparalleled Cao Zixiu is like.
Even sending money, food, and people is no problem!
It seems that his step of standing up at the court meeting yesterday was an unintentional mistake.
…
After changing my mind.
Cao Ang quickly lifted up the young scribe with both hands, and then put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look, not caring about anything.
"Thank you for the award, thank you for the award. I have only made a small contribution, so how can I be called a great man and a good man?"
"Thank you for your support, but this is just my duty as a minister, and I don't deserve such a great gift!"
After the scribe was helped up by Cao Ang, his face still showed the same excitement as when he saw the idol.
Hearing this, he handed over his hands again and again.
"Mr. Zixiu, there is no need to be too modest. I was standing in the main hall during the court meeting yesterday, but I witnessed your grace with my own eyes!"
"How can you call it a trivial contribution? It is clearly a huge contribution!"
"Dong Zhuo was so powerful that all the ministers in the palace did not dare to speak out. What is even shameful is that I myself was only obedient. Facing the humiliation of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, I was only indignant in my heart, but I did not dare to stand up."
"But in this situation, you were able to stand up and resolutely save the dignity of the Han Dynasty regardless of your own safety. You even refuted Dong Zhuo in court, leaving him speechless."
"With such loyalty and power, he deserves to be worshiped by me, Xun Yu, no matter what!"
One cliche after another.
Crazy praise.
There are a lot of articles, long paragraphs, and several writing techniques are used.
Cao Ang felt a little confused.
What's more, this guy looks older than me, and he talks like a gentleman. Who wouldn't be confused after hearing this?
The main reason is that people are afraid of sincerity. People praise us sincerely and admire us from the bottom of their hearts.
How could I resist such praise?
Um?
etc!
When he heard the last sentence, Cao Ang suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"You said you are Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo?"
…
"Yes, I am none other than Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, who is currently serving as the guardian of the palace. Has Mr. Zixiu also heard of my name?"
That joyful energy.
Just like a little fan whose name is called by an idol at a star chasing scene, this performance really shocked Cao Ang.
This is Xun Yu!
The top strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a domestic affairs talent with extraordinary attributes, and an invincible auxiliary to Wang Zuo.
He is extremely resourceful and capable of handling government affairs far beyond ordinary people. At the same time, he is not lagging behind others in making suggestions. He is definitely a genius who sits behind the scenes and governs the country.
In addition, there is another most important attribute, that is, great face and many friends.
As long as you have Xun Yu, you have a string of literati and counselors. This guy can recruit a few talents under his command from time to time.
One person is equal to a think tank.
Such an existence is simply foul.
Cao Ang had an idea at the moment.
Hurry and take him under your control! ! !
If I can get help from Wen Ruo, why worry about the big thing happening?
With Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan in military affairs, and Xun Yu and Xun Wen Ruo in literature, hegemony can flourish and the world can be settled!
In fact, Cao Ang had many ideas about Xun's uncle and nephew, but he had never been able to meet him before.
It was impossible for him to just come to the door. As soon as his domineering aura was revealed, Er Xun bowed his head and worshiped.
There must be a chance.
Now, the opportunity has arrived.
Let’s take down Xun Yu, who has a better strategy, first. As for Xun You, who is more difficult, it doesn’t matter if we consider it later.
But the most urgent thing is to think of a proper solution.
It would be best to abduct Xun Yu directly when leaving Luoyang.
After all, according to the original historical trajectory, Xun Yu returned to his hometown after being disappointed with the situation, and then went to Yuan Shao.
Finally he got involved with Cao Cao.
There are a lot of twists and turns in the process, there are too many variables, and I can't wait that long.
The opportunity is here.
If you miss it, you have to wait several years!
