"Seventh brother, eighth brother, what do you think?"
When Xun Su and Xun Min were in a state of confusion, their thoughts were so wandering that they didn't know how much time had passed.
Suddenly the voice of the second brother Xunnui came to my ears.
The two brothers turned to look together.
At this moment, Xun Nui was looking at them with a slightly meaningful smile, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his eyes were full of deepness.
There was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
This made the two of them feel a little flustered for no reason.
However, after looking at each other for a while, Xun Su still asked in a dry tone.
"Second brother, what are you referring to?"
Xun Nui seemed to know that his two younger brothers were in a complicated mood right now, so he was not surprised that they did not hear his question.
Instead, he raised his hand to signal to Cao Ang.
Then he recounted very patiently: "General Cao is currently ordered by the imperial court to serve as the shepherd of Yuzhou. He has the document of the imperial court and the seal of the emperor."
"In my opinion, General Cao's position as prefecture pastor is in line with the orthodoxy. The counties and counties under Yuzhou's rule should be respectful and listen to General Cao's dispatches and arrangements."
"My Xun family has lived in Yingchuan for generations, and we are also a part of Yuzhou, so we should be included here."
"It's just the Xun family. After all, I don't belong to the Xun family alone, so I still want to ask your opinion."
Xun Nu said it lightly.
However, Xun Su and Xun Min understood that this was the second brother Xun Nui's plan to play against them.
At the same time, this is also giving them a chance.
If the two still insist on opposing surrender to Cao Ang, then they only need to speak out and rebut firmly, followed by a verbal debate.
On the contrary, if you choose to give up now.
It's not too late to change your stance.
…
The two brothers were silent for a while.
They just looked at each other.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Second brother's words are reasonable. General Cao is an official who is commissioned by the imperial court. We should obey General Cao's orders and instructions."
That's right.
The two old comrades who originally insisted on their own opinions gave up and wanted the Xun family to maintain a neutral position. They refused to take sides until the final decision was made.
At this moment.
After all, he changed his stance and chose the latter.
In fact, after Cao Ang arrived.
Not a few words were spoken from beginning to end.
And the reason why these two people changed their minds so quickly was almost entirely due to Xun Yue.
First of all, Xun Yue is Xun Jian's son, and he has always been loved and cared for by the elders in the family.
Nowadays, the juniors who have been living at home and immersed themselves in studying have actually found a force that they like and are willing to join. If they, the elders, have a conflict with that force, how will Xun Yue deal with it if he is caught in the middle?
Secondly, for these old comrades.
They are not opposing for the sake of opposing.
More for the sake of safety, in order to keep the family standing despite strong winds and waves, we adhere to consistent principles.
But now in the family, the second brother Xun Nui, who has always been known for his far-sightedness, and the nephew Xun Yue, who is both good in character and academics, knowledgeable, and capable of both political integrity and talent.
They all felt that Cao Ang had the potential to soar into the sky.
If you follow the Cao family, you can have a great future and take your family further.
This means that on the scale of weighing the pros and cons, the weight on the left side already has an overwhelming advantage, so why should the two of them continue to fight?
That's why I changed my stance temporarily.
…
Hearing the exact answers from his two younger brothers.
Xun Nu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
I couldn't help but nod my head.
The more he thought about it, the more satisfied he became.
I just feel that my previous judgment was extremely wise.
It is rare that the Xun family, in addition to their own lineage, also has top talents who have far-sightedness and can clearly see the overall situation.
He is worthy of being a child of the eldest brother's family.
All these years of reading have not been in vain, nor has the knowledge been in vain. In the past, some people said that Xun Yue was stupid because of reading, but they did not know that he was a gentleman who kept his treasure.
At the same time, Xun Nui also thought of something.
That is, Cao Ang can convince Xun Yue.
Regardless of his own deeds, Xun Yue admired him, so he took the initiative to serve.
I still used words to persuade.
It is enough to prove from the side that Cao Ang is a man of good ability and strong ability.
Such people are destined to lay a foundation in this huge world. Even if the behavior of heaven changes, they may not be able to sweep the world in the future.
But it will definitely not be a bad mix.
Doesn't this further prove that he didn't make a mistake?
The Xun family has placed a heavy bet on such a character, instead of being equally affected by it like in the past. It is definitely a very worthwhile thing and can get countless rewards.
Think of this.
Xun Nui immediately turned his attention to the last person who had not yet expressed his stance.
"Fourth brother, what about you, what do you think?"
There are four people in the highest decision-making level of the Xun family.
But now three of them have unified their opinions.
Then the rest, whether you agree or not, actually doesn't seem that important.
Xun Tao obviously understood this truth.
So he replied very straightforwardly: "I agree with my second brother."
…
Looking at the scene in front of me.
Cao Ang was extremely satisfied.
Sure enough, when doing strategy missions, you must find the key points. Once you find the trick, you can basically kill with one strike and get twice the result with half the effort.
It has to be Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo.
He is worthy of being his chief strategist.
When he was still worried about how to deal with the Xun family, he brought the important person Xun Yue to him.
As a result, what should have been a persuasive process of going back and forth, arguing with each other, and even arguing.
It has evolved into what it is today. Adding it all up, it doesn't take more than a stick of incense to pass the customs smoothly.
Wonderful!
But happy to be happy.
Cao Ang didn't forget about business either.
After several old comrades expressed their opinions, Cao Ang bowed his hands in thanks, suppressed his smile, and then said to several people.
"To be fair to the elders, before coming here, the Chen family, Han Shi, and the Zhong family have all declared themselves to act like nobles, and they will make it known to the public at the dinner later."
"What I hope is that after today, the nobles and other local clans can recruit and subdue the remaining small and medium-sized families in Yingchuan for me."
"Use the fastest speed and the shortest time to dismantle Yuan Shu's arrangement in Yingchuan County and eliminate all the hidden hands he left behind."
"In this way, I can lead my troops straight to Luyang County without any scruples or obstacles!"
…
Suddenly I heard this.
Xun's four dragons all looked at each other in confusion.
Only now did they know that Cao Ang had already taken care of the other three major families before he came.
How capable and efficient is this?
Such a fact made them even more grateful that they had made the right choice before.
Therefore, regarding Cao Ang’s current request.
Naturally, no one will refuse.
Besides, since he has expressed his intention to surrender completely.
Of course, we also need to take practical actions.
Therefore, things like gathering local forces in the county and countering enemy infiltration are the meaning of the question and should be done in accordance with the rules.
So after some eye contact.
On behalf of the entire family, Xun Nui raised his hand to Cao Ang and said, "Don't worry, General Zixiu, this is easy. We will definitely complete the task you have given us!"
………………
That night.
Under the arrangement of Yingyin County Government.
A grand dinner was held, attended by people from the four major families, who warmly welcomed and entertained Cao Ang and his entourage who had come from afar.
At the dinner party, cups were exchanged and glasses were exchanged.
Singing and dancing, silk and bamboo orchestra.
The style can be described as elegant.
And at the end of the banquet.
People from the four major families rushed to stand up and express their attitude.
Whether it is the weak and declining Zhong family, the powerful Chen family, the Han family who is deeply influenced by Yuan Shu, or even the Xun family with complex factions.
They all chose the same position.
That is to fully support Cao Ang.
This kind of scene shocked many people, including the families themselves.
Among the four tribes of Yingchuan, they never expected that the other party would side with Cao Ang so unreservedly as they did.
This is an extremely rare scene.
After all, although everyone hangs out in the same place, they have their own interests and different development directions. There is rarely a time when they have unified opinions.
However, when facing Cao Ang now, they seemed to be planned into a whole.
How can this not shock everyone?
While being surprised in my heart.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at Cao Ang's methods, which was unfathomable and awe-inspiring.
As a result, he became more and more obedient.
And after making a public statement at the banquet.
The talkers from the four major families unanimously accepted Cao Ang's mission.
They all said that they would immediately send people to contact the high-ranking families in the county and ask these families to stand in line, thus ensuring that the entire Yingchuan County will completely fall to Cao Ang and become a piece of the Cao family's power.
At the same time, for the counties in the southern part of Yingchuan County.
They will also contact the local small and medium-sized families and mobilize their own foundation and clan children to completely drive away or capture Yuan Shu's people.
In a word.
The locals should play their role and provide all conveniences for Cao Ang, so that Cao Ang does not have to worry about anything when he attacks Yuan Shu.
This is the current value of the Yingchuan gentry.
As for the rest.
More on that later.
…………
That night.
After leaving the party.
Farewell to Xun Yue who returned to the family for the time being.
Cao Ang, Xun Yu, Xun You's uncle and nephew, walked all the way towards the post house.
However, just after leaving the county government, Xun Yu found two soldiers, explained something in their ears, and then sent them out.
See this situation.
Cao Ang had roughly guessed the intention of Xun Yu's move, so he did not ask out loud.
Not long after.
The group of people arrived at the posthouse successfully.
As soon as he pushed open the door across the courtyard, Cao Ang was a little surprised to find that there were three young men standing in the courtyard talking quietly.
All three of them were well-dressed and dressed like scholars. They looked full of temperament and elegant literary talent.
The oldest one among them looked like he was only around thirty. The appearance of one of them even made Cao Ang feel that he was much younger than himself.
But what surprised Cao Ang was.
Among these three people.
Both of them looked sickly, thin and frail. Under the illumination of the moonlight and lights, their faces looked a little pale.
Only the youngest one has the best health, strong body and rosy complexion.
…
When Cao Ang discovered them.
The three people who heard the door open turned their heads in unison and looked at Cao Ang and his group.
After each was stunned for a second.
After all, it was the three young people in the yard who reacted first and walked quickly towards this side.
Before walking in front of everyone.
Several people glanced at it first, and then, under the leadership of the leader, they first bowed their hands to Xun Yu, and then bowed to Cao Ang.
"You must be the general Cao Angcao whom Wen Ruo praised highly. I am Guo Jia, whose name is Fengxiao. He was born in the Guo family of Yangzhai and has met the general!"
"I'm Zhao Yan, whose pseudonym is Boran. I'm from Yangzhai, Yingchuan. I've met the general!"
"I... cough cough, I am Xi Zhong, courtesy name Zhicai, cough cough... I have met the general!"
…
If only these three people were standing in front of him.
Cao Ang couldn't recognize any of them.
But wait until they report their names.
Cao Ang responded to them one by one in an instant, and what followed was ecstasy in his heart.
Guo Jia, Zhao Yan, Xi Zhicai!
OK OK!
It has to be Xun Yu. This circle of friends is really not built. As soon as it opened, it attracted three good talents to itself. Counting Xun Yue from before, there was a table of heavyweights.
Among the three people in front of me.
Of course, there is no need to say more about Guo Jia. This person definitely has something, or even a lot of it.
He is a resourceful person who has a long-term vision and a better overall view than others, and can make decisions at critical moments to establish victory.
This is definitely a great talent.
Don't say anything else.
Just fishing him out was worth the price of this trip to Yingchuan.
Except for Guo Jia.
Xi Zhicai is not an ordinary person either.
Although this talent left very little ink in the history books, only a few strokes, and even his life deeds were rarely recorded.
But just because this person was solemnly recommended by Xun Yu.
Moreover, Guo Jia was recommended by Xun Yu only after Xi Zhicai's death.
It can be seen that this person is by no means a simple person.
If he has no ability.
How could he be respected by his father, Cao Cao, and be close friends with Xun Yu?
…
A young man named Zhao Yan is left.
Although his reputation is slightly duller than the first two, he is not as well-known.
But his own performance is not bad.
Based on Cao Ang's understanding of history, he knew that Zhao Yan, Zhao Boran, was a capable official with great talents.
Both civil and military, each is good at it.
exactly.
He is a hexagonal civil servant who is proficient in internal affairs, understands people's livelihood, is good at handling interpersonal relationships, mediates conflicts and interests of all parties, and knows how to lead troops in battle.
All kinds of excellent qualities combined into one.
Definitely a rare talent.
And if Cao Ang remembers correctly.
This guy seems to be called the Four Famous Men of Yingchuan along with Chen Qun, Du Xi and Xin Pi whom he met this morning.
This shows its gold content.
For these three people come vote.
Cao Ang was overjoyed.
Immediately invite everyone to sit inside together.
