"May I ask, my lord, did the analysis about Zhang Miao's betrayal this morning come from the gentleman inside? Was it also overheard?"
Xun Yu heard that the room fell into a brief silence and couldn't help but ask this question.
After hearing what Chen Zhou said, he was certain that Cao Cao eavesdropped from here and was waiting for Cao Cao to admit it.
"Ahem..."
Cao Cao was in a trance, but was suddenly awakened by Xun Yu's words. He said awkwardly: "Wen Ruo, don't pay attention to these details. I don't call this eavesdropping, I just happened to hear it. But what do Wen Ruo think of that person inside?"
He believed that eavesdropping alone was not enough for Xun Yu to judge and take out what Cao Ang wrote yesterday.
Cao Cao carried those contents with him.
Xun Yu took it and spread it out to look at it for a while. He was curious at first, but halfway through the look, his expression became more solemn. When he was almost finished, his eyes widened, as if he had seen something extraordinary, and he asked: "My Lord, Are these all coming from that person inside?”
"That's right!"
Cao Cao admitted.
Xun Yu said: "If it is true, the man inside is worthy of my lord to win over, but he is an official of Zhang Miao, so I'm afraid it will be a little difficult."
After receiving Xun Yu's comment, Cao Cao became more determined to win over Chen Zhou and said: "With Zixiu's relationship, I don't think it will be difficult! If Wen has confidence in me, wait until I have checked him out to make sure there is no problem. Then try to win over him."
Xun Yu asked again: "What if it doesn't succeed?"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "If he doesn't succeed, he will be a traitor who followed Zhang Miao in rebellion."
What a cruel heart!
Xun Yu was not surprised that these words would come out of Cao Cao's mouth.
Chen Zhou also said just now that there is no need for mercy in troubled times. Cao Cao used this point to the greatest extent.
Since you can't get it, you must destroy it so that others can't get it either.
"Master, are you feeling better?"
Chen Zhou was worried that Cao Ang could not accept the idea of slaughtering the city to raise troops.
Cao Ang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm fine. Sir, is there anything else you want to say?"
Chen Zhou glanced at the sun outside through the window. Unknowingly, it was noon. He thought for a moment and said: "Everyone else in the cell was taken down for questioning. I know that I can survive until now only because of the help of the young master, but I As a member of Zhang Miao, the young master may not be able to help you for long, and he will die sooner or later."
Cao Ang wanted to say that even if Chen Zhou was released now, there would be no problem.
But just as the words came to his lips, Chen Zhou happened to interrupt again: "Young Master and I are in love, and I would like to thank you for coming to relieve my boredom. I want to give you a reward before I die."
Cao Ang asked curiously: "What credit?"
"I was bored in the cell these days, so I thought about Cao Cao's possible future development path."
Chen Zhou said unhurriedly: "Currently, Cao Cao can only be limited to Yanzhou, and even Yuan Shao can't get rid of it. But as long as he follows the path I planned, he will not only be able to get out of the current predicament, but also conquer the entire northern Han Dynasty with ease. , to become a true prince."
"Let's see when you have time to come see me."
"I will tell you this plan. If you tell Cao Cao when the time comes, you will definitely get Cao Cao's attention."
"You can become the core of the Cao clan, just like Cao Ren and others."
As soon as Chen Zhou finished speaking, Cao Cao, who was eavesdropping outside, was stunned.
Cao Cao was in disbelief at first, but then he became enthusiastic when he thought of Chen Zhou's analytical ability.
I don’t know if that plan is true or not.
But Cao Cao still wanted to get it to see if it would be good for him.
However, based on this conversation, he was thinking that Chen Zhou seemed to really want to teach Cao Ang and treat Cao Ang as a friend. He had no other bad intentions, so the chance of winning over would be greater.
"So arrogant!"
Xun Yu was the first to be unconvinced and said: "This person is somewhat capable, but his words are too arrogant. Neither Gongda nor Zhicai nor I dare to say these words."
Just a plan can help Cao Cao take the north.
Could it be that the person inside is still a god?
Xun Yu didn’t believe it anyway.
Cao Cao was doubtful, but it didn't matter. If he came to eavesdrop again, he would know what Chen Zhou's plan was.
"Sir, I can really help you get out."
Cao Ang was still unwilling to accept it: "When I recommend you to a higher level, you can take the credit yourself, I don't want it."
Seeing that Cao Ang didn't even want credit, Chen Zhou said helplessly: "Let's talk about it! That's it for today, I should go back and rest."
Hearing their footsteps about to come out, Cao Cao and the other three hurriedly hid aside, not wanting Chen Zhou to find out that someone was eavesdropping.
Back in the cell.
As soon as Chen Zhou sat down to rest, someone immediately brought food and wine over.
He opened the wine jar, drank himself a sip of wine to quench his thirst, and thought to himself, "It's almost time to go out."
As long as he tells the young master of the Cao family's clan this plan, it will definitely be passed on to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao knew it, and then he could know his own existence.
If Cao Cao was shocked and had a love for talents, he might come to the cell, but he didn't know that Cao Cao heard everything outside.
"This gives you a half chance of getting out smoothly and without any worries."
"I hope it succeeds. If it fails, next time the young master comes to ask for his release, I can't be pretentious. I will run away if I can after I get out. Cao Cao is suspicious and vindictive."
Chen Zhou was still very confident in his plan. After all, he had a foresight of the history and future of the Three Kingdoms, and he knew exactly what Cao Cao would do next.
These thoughts were temporarily put aside by him.
Wait quietly.
——
Cao Ang walked out of the private room and was about to go back to find his father. When he released Chen Zhou from the cell, he unexpectedly saw Cao Cao walking towards him with a dark face.
"Father, son, filial uncle, and Mr. Xun."
"Why are you here?"
Cao Ang asked in surprise.
Xun Yu said: "We have been here a long time ago."
"I've been here a long time ago, so you guys..."
Cao Ang was shocked.
He just said a few words that were not friendly to his father. Didn't he hear them all?
Judging from this situation, they must have been eavesdropping outside.
"snort!"
Cao Cao said angrily: "Zixiu, in your eyes, am I so unkind and unfilial?"
It turned out to be eavesdropping.
Cao Ang couldn't laugh or cry. Even if his father eavesdropped, how could a scribe like Mr. Xun also eavesdrop outside?
He also felt that his father's interest should have been aroused yesterday, so he brought someone to eavesdrop today. The husband can almost leave.
"Go back with me."
Cao Cao snorted again and strode outside.
Cao Ang could only follow. When passing by Xun Yu, he whispered: "Mr. Xun, help!"
Xun Yu said: "Master, take care of yourself!"
The topic we just talked about was too sensitive for Cao Cao.
"Zixiu, don't be afraid!"
Cao Ren said: "The most I can get is a whipping."
Cao Ang: "..."
How about you help me, Uncle Zixiao?
