Now that it has been decided, Cao Ang will convince Cao Song.
It would be inappropriate for the father and son to travel together again, as it would waste too much time.
After some summing up.
Cao Cao and Cao Ang immediately decided to divide their troops into two groups in Chenliu County.
Cao Cao continued to lead his troops to Jiyin County in the northeast. He took up the post of governor as soon as possible, sorted out the various local situations, and took complete control of the county in the shortest possible time.
Cao Ang led a small force south to Peiguoqiao County, returned to his hometown to capture his grandfather who was retiring there, and took all the relatives who stayed in his hometown to Jiyin County.
Because the distance from Chenliu County to Qiao County is not short.
Even a small force can go back and forth quickly, and it will take some time, so time is still quite tight.
So after making the discussion.
Cao Ang decided to leave as quickly as possible.
However, before setting off, he still had some things to arrange, and at the same time, it was time to take over the person he had been thinking about before.
…
After watching his father Cao Cao go to rest.
Cao Ang first found Xun Yu.
This guy is reading a book in his room at the moment.
Sitting in front of the window, facing the sunlight and sky, I read with gusto.
Along with stroking his beard from time to time, and then thinking carefully, he showed the style of a scholar.
This made Cao Ang couldn't help but think about it.
Do you need to carry a book with you in the future? Even if you don't read it and just pretend, it will improve your character a lot.
"Wen Ruo is so elegant!"
As Cao Ang's hearty voice sounded.
Xun Yu suddenly raised his head.
Then he quickly put down the bamboo slips, stood up and welcomed Cao Ang into the house, with a smile on his face.
"Sir, please sit down quickly!"
After the two of them sat down.
Xun Yu asked with a probing look on his face: "What important orders does the general have this time?"
Cao Ang nodded.
Zhuang Ruo said unintentionally: "My father is planning to recruit troops and train an army within Jiyin County in preparation for the future crusade against Dong Zhuo."
"I'm just suffering from a lack of food, grass and money, so I was sent to Qiao County to invite my grandfather. If he can help me, the cost of recruiting soldiers will not be a problem."
Xun Yu nodded and said nothing.
He knew that Cao Ang had more to say.
really.
After a pause, Cao Ang then smiled at Xun Yu and said, "Although my father was a prefect of a county before, his methods were quite rough. Later, he served as a military attache in the DPRK one after another, and he was very unfamiliar with local affairs. place."
"So I hope that Wen Ruo can help me a little in the coming days and assist my father in handling some of the county's affairs."
Xun Yu blinked.
A strange light flashed in his eyes.
Regarding Cao Ang's request, he did not immediately agree, but pondered for a long time.
With his intelligence, how could he not see Cao Ang's purpose?
It seemed like it was just a simple entrustment, hoping that he could help Cao Cao control Jiyin County, but in fact it was testing whether Xun Wenruo could stay with peace of mind and be used by him.
After all, who can help the prefect handle official duties?
That can only be an assistant officer.
If Xun Yu agrees, it means that he is willing to join the Cao family, otherwise he refuses.
This was an olive branch thrown by Cao Ang to him, and it also gave him a choice.
…
The room was silent.
Neither Xun Yu nor Cao Ang said a word.
After a long time like this.
Xun Yu finally made up his mind.
He first bowed his hands to Cao Ang, then put on a solemn expression, and said to Cao Ang very solemnly.
"Yu is very talented and has little knowledge. I am grateful to you for not giving up and sincerely inviting you. I am willing to do my best to assist you!"
Let’s get straight to the point.
Express his feelings directly to Cao Ang.
There were many factors that prompted Xun Yu to make such a choice, the main one being his extremely high favorability towards Cao Ang.
Cao Ang himself, as a well-known and loyal man, had already made Xun Yu admire him greatly. He always spoke like a gentleman.
Later, Cao Ang entrusted the rescue of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. It even made Xun Yu put half of his foot on the Cao family's chariot. They were already good comrades who guarded the same secret and experienced hardships together!
In addition, there is Cao Ang's personal charm.
His outstanding abilities and his communicative skills are exactly the core factors that ensure that talents are willing to seek refuge with him.
Xun Yu is a smart man.
After many days of contact, he had half figured out what kind of person Cao Ang was.
He is definitely a great talent in the world!
Such peerless talent can definitely be called a weapon when used to help the Han Dynasty and purge the world.
And he is a talented person who is the king's assistant. This king does not refer to an emperor or a prince, but a wise master with ability and vision.
Isn't Cao Ang just a wise master?
If you can assist such a wise master and achieve the purpose of supporting the Han Dynasty, it will not only express your life ambitions, but also comfort your life wishes.
If you have the best of both worlds, why not?
…
After getting Xun Yu's loyalty.
Cao Ang was overjoyed.
It has been several days since he abducted this precious lump, but it was only today that he finally got over it.
Now that he has everything under his control, it is completely established and stable. When the time comes, he will immediately put on his wings and fly in the air.
Just when Cao Ang was about to say something.
Xun Yu, who had already expressed his loyalty just now, suddenly an idea came to his mind and he hurriedly spoke first.
"General, there is something I need to explain to you in advance, and I hope you can agree!"
"Appreciate further details!"
Xun Yu even changed his title from Mr. to General. It was obvious that he had placed himself in the position of a subordinate. Such a quick role change showed his sincerity.
That being the case.
Is there any request that cannot be granted?
As Cao Ang raised his hand to signal, Xun Yu began to speak.
"The only person that Yu has been willing to serve and assist from the beginning to the end is you, the general. You, your family, and even your father are not the same."
"This time I am helping your father to control the county. It is because of your order, the general. It does not mean that I will also assist you. I hope the general will agree!"
The meaning is very simple.
Working for you doesn't mean that I have to work for your father as well. I only listen to you, Cao Ang.
The object of allegiance is Cao Ang.
Even Cao Ang's father, Cao Cao, was just a relative in Xun Yu's eyes, which did not mean that he could order him through this level of status.
Such words.
Cao Ang was speechless.
Unexpectedly, the top adviser who was destined to belong to his father would now only recognize himself.
I don’t like Lao Cao anymore!
It's true that fate is fickle and fate plays tricks on people.
Dad, daddy, I am not the one who wants to rob you, the child is really too good.
Of course, Cao Ang had no objection to this. On the contrary, he thought it was a good thing.
It's better to control your destiny in your own hands.
And it would be a good thing if a talent like Xun Yu only recognized himself. This was Cao Ang's own powerful team.
Even if something changes in the future.
He can also be as stable as a rock!
…
"As Wen Ruo said, I agreed. From now on, you just need to obey my orders!"
With Cao's approval.
Xun Yu's face clearly showed joy.
He immediately stood up, faced Cao Ang, and bowed.
His voice was loud and he said with great emotion: "In that case, General, please accept my bow!"
Cao Ang did not dare to neglect.
He also stood up and bowed to the end, bowing in return.
The king and his ministers worshiped each other.
This was a unique romance before the two Song dynasties.
After helping each other up.
From then on, the relationship between the two as ruler and minister was determined.
After sitting down again, the two of them were obviously getting closer, and their words were less polite and more casual.
"The general is on his way to Qiao County. How confident are you that you can convince the old man to use his family's assets to help you establish your business?"
When it came to business, Cao Ang immediately became serious.
After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and compared the numbers.
"70% sure!"
"I have thought of several ways to deal with the old man's various excuses. But if he would rather die than agree to take out the money, how can I, as a grandson, really do anything to him?"
Xun Yu understood in his heart.
The general said that he was 70% sure, but he estimated that he had already made up his mind to 90%.
But he still decided to show off his abilities.
After all, he was his first disciple.
Without showing some ability, how could General Cao know that he was recruiting the right person?
So he thought about it for a while.
He cupped his hands to Cao Ang and said, "I can't say much about the general's love for his ancestors, but I have a candidate here. If the old man really doesn't want to help the general, then you might as well find a way to persuade this person."
"oh?"
"There are people like this, Wen Ruo, tell me quickly!"
Said it was an alternative.
But in fact, Cao Ang plans to choose them all.
The old man was very sure. He also told his father, Cao Cao, that even if the old man didn't agree, he would have to kidnap him.
Anyway, Cao Ang has no scruples. He has never seen the old man even once since time travel. It can be said that he has no feelings at all. Unlike his father, Cao Cao, he always gets along day and night.
As long as Cao Song dared not agree, he would kidnap people.
He was tied up quietly, and then he searched for the money at home and loaded it into the car without anyone noticing!
And now Xun Yu provided him with another person.
Then you can completely deal with the old man and then attack this alternative character, and then both parties will provide support together.
Who would mind having too much money and food?
…
Seeing the anxious look on Cao Ang's face, Xun Yu didn't give in.
After asking Cao Ang for a map, he pointed to Chen State, which is located south of Chenliu County.
"Chen Wang Liu Chong, this is the person I recommended to the general. The general may wish to give it a try."
"Although Chen's country is small, it has plenty of money and food. Liu Chong is a man of great military virtue. He has thousands of elite soldiers under his command. The ordinary army has nearly ten thousand people and thousands of powerful crossbows."
"In recent years, with this force, we have wiped out many local bandits and attracted a large number of refugees. Now we have gathered more than 100,000 people, and we have abundant food, grass and money."
"If we can get help from this person, the general's worries can be resolved by talking and laughing!"
Cao Ang's eyes flashed.
According to Xun Yu's description, this is indeed a great man, and his martial virtue is too abundant.
He didn't know many specific situations.
But he had read about the situation of the princes and kings in various places in the late Han Dynasty from historical books.
Due to the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, coupled with the reduction in food production in recent years, famines occurred in various places, and even the princes and kings were reduced to the point where they could not afford to eat.
I don’t know how many members of the Han Dynasty named Liu, even the king of a country, can only die of hunger and lie on the roadside like ordinary people.
And in this context.
This guy named Liu Chong was able to buck the trend and not only live a prosperous life, but also accumulate such a huge family fortune.
Extraordinary!
He must deal with this man!
Even if you don't need his money and food, just to get such a person as an ally, it will be a bloody gain!
…
After thinking clearly.
Without saying a word, Cao Ang grabbed Xun Yu's wrist with his right hand and asked excitedly.
"How much does Wen Ruo know about this person?"
"What does he like and dislike? In other words, where should I start to convince him?"
Xun Yu has a wide network of contacts in his hometown. He not only knows many people, but also knows many things.
Chen State was adjacent to Chenliu County and Yingchuan County, so Xun Yu also knew a lot about the affairs of King Chen.
Of course, it is impossible to explain everything in detail here. I can only pick out some key points.
After thinking about it for a while.
Xun Yu raised two fingers.
"There are two things the general might as well keep in mind."
"One is that this person is extremely good at using crossbows and has extraordinary archery skills. It is said that he can hit ten out of ten shots, and all of them hit the same spot on the target."
"Another thing is that in his early years, Liu Chong was reprimanded by the late emperor for being reported to the gods as a private sacrifice, and he almost ended up with a bad ending."
Xun Yu provided two more important pieces of information.
Cao Ang also silently recorded these in his heart.
I don't know what use it can be used for at the moment.
We can only think more while we are on the way to Qiao County, and maybe we can come up with a perfect strategy for these two aspects.
After the matter is settled.
Cao Ang stopped discussing it too much.
He just stood up and said to Xun Yu: "I will leave the rest to Wen Ruo. I only hope that the entire Jiyin County can be stabilized before next spring."
"Yu try your best!"
Having said that, Cao Ang said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, he would tell his father Cao Cao about his arrangements for Xun Yu and ask Comrade Cao to cooperate more.
After all, when it comes to domestic affairs, even if the father and son are tied together, Xun Yu won't be able to fight.
…………
After Xun Yu came Zhang Liao.
Wen Yuan didn't have much to say.
Although Cao Cao would also bring two thousand soldiers and horses to the county, the entire Huben camp actually belonged to him, and Zhang Liao would not mess around without getting his orders.
What he mainly entrusted was one thing.
That is to take good care of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty.
He was worried about leaving this matter to others. It had to be done by someone like Zhang Liao who was loyal and strictly followed orders. Only in this way could the safety of the Queen Mother and others be ensured.
At the moment in the school grounds.
Zhang Liao bowed and cupped his hands, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Don't worry, general, I will ensure the safety of these venerables, and there will never be any mistakes!"
"Okay! I can rest assured that you will do the work!"
After patting Zhang Liao on the shoulder, Cao Ang then lowered his voice and said.
"When we arrive in Dingtao County, my father will arrange a place to live. You can arrange for the Queen Mother and the others to live in my house and find a private courtyard. Don't let outsiders know."
"Even if my father wants to intervene in this matter, you must not relent and agree. We will talk about everything after I come back!"
"Yes! I will understand!"
