Yan Xiang left the Shouchun Mansion Office.
A line of soldiers followed.
Others took Yuan Shu's message and went to Yan Xiang's home, ransacked his home, drove his family members out, and drove outside Shouchun City.
The entire Shouchun City was shaken.
You know, Yan Xiangke has always been Yuan Shu's loyal minister, and he is extremely favored. Even though he often insults Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu does nothing to him.
Now, it has fallen into this situation.
When Yan Xiang rushed outside the city, his family members cried together outside the city.
The servants divided their luggage and dispersed.
Only Yan Xiang's two children and family members were left, and they were all at a loss.
Originally, when Yan Xiang was in office, officials fawned over him every day.
Now, no one appears.
Yan Xiang looked at his family members who were crying and sighed.
Unexpectedly, I would end up in such a predicament in my later years.
When Yan Xiang's son Yan Su saw this, he came up with red eyes and whispered: "Father, what happened? Why did it happen like this? Your Majesty has always been kind to you. If you go and apologize to Your Majesty, we won't be there." Such a field.”
Yan Xiang glanced at his son Yan Su but didn't reply.
Turning his head and taking a look at Shouchun City, Yan Xiang shook his head.
When people leave, the tea is cool.
The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked.
After taking another look at his family members who didn't have anything with them, Yan Xiang hesitated for a moment before heading towards Hefei.
He is going to Jiangdong.
Not for anything else.
Now that I have fallen into such a situation, I will not die for the time being, but I have to eat and clothe myself.
Even if you don’t have food, clothing or water, your family will always need it.
My family members are all mediocre people, accustomed to being pampered.
If there is no source of supplies, they may all starve to death soon.
Now that he has been deprived of everything by Yuan Shu, other officials are snobs and will definitely not help him.
Although somewhat reluctantly.
But he could only go to Jiangdong to look for Lu Yi.
I was kind to him in the beginning.
Moreover, in the previous exchanges, his temperament did not seem to be stingy or harsh.
I can only shamelessly ask him for a place to stay.
And at this time.
Xudu.
Chancery desk.
Cao Cao knelt down and sat on the main seat, watching Xun Yu and Cheng Yu busy, his brows knitted into knots.
After all, he stood up and walked outside alone.
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu both raised their heads and looked at Cao Cao without saying a word.
It wasn't until Cao Cao left the chancery that Cheng Yu said, "Sikong has been very preoccupied recently. Is he worried about raising food and grass?"
"In the past few years, we have been in continuous wars and the national treasury has been depleted."
"Now we have to fight Yuan Shu again, but we are unable to go out due to lack of food and grass."
"Sikong is really not easy."
"I do have an idea that can temporarily solve the food and grass problem."
"It's just that I'm afraid Sikong doesn't want to listen."
While Xun Yu continued to lower his head and deal with the documents, he said: "I have almost prepared food and grass for Sikong. It will not be a problem to conquer Yuan Shu in a short time."
"Follow-up, I'm still collecting money."
"The issue before Cao Gong now is not the issue of food and grass, but the issue of talents."
"Xi Zhicai died of illness at the end of last year."
"Before, Xi Zhicai came up with many strategies for the lord, and the lord even thought about promoting him to be the mastermind."
"Now that Xi Zhicai is gone, how can Mr. Cao not be worried?"
"Before, my lord only had to fight, but now that the emperor has arrived in Xudu, my lord not only needs to fight, but also needs to govern the world."
“This all requires talents, and they are talented people.”
"My lord, if you don't see these talents for a day, you will naturally feel restless."
Cheng Yu also said with a sad face: "If you can tell me a plan, I can also give you some advice. But if you recommend talents, that's not my specialty."
Xun Yu then raised his head, looked at Cheng Yu, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten my responsibilities? Don't worry, two talented people will arrive today to ensure that Duke Cao will be full of energy, singing and dancing."
Cheng Yu immediately became interested and said, "Tell me about it?"
Xun Yu did not hide anything and said with a smile: "These two people, one is my nephew, Xun You Xun Gongda, who planned to assassinate Dong Zhuo but failed in the past; a young and frivolous man who used to serve Yuan Shao, but because he felt that Yuan Shao could not succeed, he finally lived in seclusion. Studying at home.”
"Previously, Duke Cao failed in his campaign against Wancheng. He wrote to me and asked me to recommend some great talents."
"No, I'll let him come over and give it a try."
"This man's name is Guo Jia, whose courtesy name is Fengxiao. His behavior is dissolute, but he is intelligent and evil. He will definitely be liked by Duke Cao."
Cheng Yu stroked his long beard and said, "When they come, I also want to take a look."
Xun Yu smiled and said: "My nephew Xun Gongda has arrived a long time ago, but he asked me not to say anything during this period. He is observing Cao Gong to see if he is the master of the Ming Dynasty. As for Guo Fengxiao, he also arrived at my house yesterday. It was just for drinking at night. I'm very drunk and I'm still awake."
Cheng Yu was quite speechless and said: "Seeing such an important person like Sikong, you still got drunk?"
Xun Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So, I just said that Guo Fengxiao is young and frivolous, and his behavior is dissolute. However, Duke Cao has never cared about this, so there is no need to worry."
At this moment, I saw Cao Cao hurried back again.
Before reaching the threshold, Cao Cao said excitedly: "Wen Ruo, Zhongde, someone has sent us a large amount of food and grass. What do you think?"
There was also a letter in his hand.
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu looked at each other, both a little surprised.
Someone sent a lot of food and grass?
who?
Could it be Yuan Shao?
However, Yuan Shao was attacking Youzhou Gongsun Zan at this time, and the battle was fierce. Where could he find a large amount of food and grass to help?
Cao Cao strode in, handed the letter to Xun Yu, and said with excitement on his face: "It's Jiangdong! Sun Ce, the leader of Jiangdong, was ambushed by bandits and Baiyue people led by Xu Gong's disciples in Kuaiji. Now, , Jiangdong changed hands and became an unknown person named Lu Yi. He asked a merchant under his banner to send a large amount of grain and grass. Why do you think he did this? "
Xun Yu took the letter: "."
Koto?
It turns out to be from Jiangdong!
Is Jiangdong so wealthy now?
There is still surplus food sent to Xudu?
Xun Yu opened the letter and glanced at it.
The letter was written by Lu Yi to Cao Cao. The content of the letter was extremely simple. First, it stated that Jiangdong was still the territory of the Han Dynasty. He was still a Han official and would pay tribute on time every year.
The second is to praise Cao Cao's merits as a diligent king.
The third is to express his willingness to encircle Yuan Shu with Cao Cao. These provisions are just a token of appreciation.
After Xun Yu read the letter, he handed it to Cheng Yu and was about to express his opinion.
At this moment, a small official walked quickly outside and said, "Sikong, Xun Lingjun, and Cheng Gong. There are two people outside. One calls himself Xun You, and the other calls himself Guo Jia. They are here to pay homage to Xun Lingjun."
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu doubtfully.
Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just the right time!"
Looking at Cao Cao, Xun Yu said: "Mr. Cao, before you wrote a letter asking me to recommend some great talents, but now, they are outside. It just so happens that what Lu Yi, the new leader of Jiangdong, has done, you can ask them to recommend them to you, Gong Cao. After analysis, Duke Cao will judge whether they are usable."
Cao Cao looked ecstatic and hurriedly said: "Let them in quickly!"
