Xun Yu argued: "Although Yu Yi is not that famous, I feel that he is also a potential opponent. In my opinion, he should be eliminated. He is also a disaster!"
Cao Cao smiled, or felt that something was a little outrageous, and said: "Xun Lingjun, please go back and rest first, let me think about it again!"
After Xun Yu left, Guo Jia arrived immediately. Cao Cao asked, "Xun Yu just advised me to kill Liu Bei to avoid future troubles. What do you think?"
Guo Jiadao: "How can we do that? My lord is now a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, fighting violence and peace for the people. Only through righteousness and benevolence can we recruit heroes. I am afraid that they will not come to join me. Now Liu Bei has a reputation as a hero, and Guan Yu is also there." Generals like Zhang Fei and counselors like Yu Yi are now at the end of their rope and have come to seek refuge. If they were killed, it would be killing the virtuous. Then when all the counselors in the world heard about this, who else would come to seek refuge? My lord will definitely become suspicious and then hesitate to move forward. Then how can my lord's world be stabilized? Killing Liu Bei is to remove one person's troubles and then prevent the world from coming to join him. Such a calculation, my lord has to think about!"
Cao Cao felt very happy and said: "What Guo Jia said is true. Besides, Yu Yi has saved my life. If I kill his eldest brother, how will the world view me, Cao Cao?"
On the second day, he immediately went to see the emperor and told Liu Bei to lead Yuzhou as a herdsman. After hearing this, Cheng Yu hurriedly came to advise and said: "This Liu Bei has lofty ambitions in his heart, and Shou Yuyi is not an ordinary person. He will never serve under the lord for a long time. It is better to eradicate these disasters as soon as possible."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "You and Xun Yu have the same idea. You think too much. Now is the time for me to employ people. Killing one person cannot prevent me from harvesting the world's heroes! Moreover, Guo Fengxiao and I have the same idea. the same."
Cheng Yu knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he had no choice but to leave.
So Cao Cao gave Liu Bei three thousand soldiers and horses, as well as ten thousand huo of grain, and asked him to take office in Yuzhou. At the same time, he marched into Xiaopei and gathered all the scattered people to attack Lu Bu. After Liu Bei arrived in Yuzhou, he immediately sent people Go and meet Cao Cao.
Yu Yi came to Yuzhou with Liu Bei at this time. Zhang Fei bluntly said that Yu Yi had a solution, so Yu Yi smiled and said: "I have no solution. Now Cao Cao has Guo Jia, Xun Yu and other counselors, as well as Xia Hou Yuan, Xia Hou Dun, Dian Wei and other generals, can't he guess something? It was just that I saved his life when we were in Luoyang City!"
After hearing this, Guan Yu was frightened and said: "I didn't expect you to have organized such a huge force in Luoyang at that time."
Yu Yi was naturally a little carried away by being praised by everyone, but Liu Bei kept a gloomy expression and said nothing for some unknown reason. Yu Yi couldn't express his happiness and could only follow behind the crowd.
In Xudu, Cao Cao thought that after cultivating for a certain period of time and now becoming more powerful, it was time to seek revenge from Lu Bu, so he prepared to personally lead an army to conquer Lu Bu. Suddenly someone reported that Zhang Ji led troops from Guanzhong to attack Nanyang. , was killed by random arrows, his nephew Zhang Xiu led the crowd, hired counselors like Jia Xu, formed an alliance with Liu Biao, stationed troops in Wancheng, and prepared to lead troops to Xudu to rescue the emperor.
Cao Cao was very angry and wanted to lead troops to quell the situation, but he was afraid that Lu Bu would invade Xudu at this time, so he went to find Xun Yu.
Xun Yu said: "This matter is too simple. Lu Bu is a man without any strategy. He will forget about his own interests when he sees the benefits. My lord can send an envoy to Xuzhou, give him an official position, and reward him with some money." , let him reconcile with Liu Bei, and if Lu Bu is happy, he will not attack Xu Du."
Cao Cao said: "This strategy is very good, let's do it like this." So he sent Wang Ze, the captain of the army, to go to Xuzhou to find Lu Bu with an official letter and a letter of reconciliation. Here I personally led an army of 150,000 to conquer Zhang Xiu. They advanced in three groups, with Xiahou Dun as the vanguard, and the momentum was very large.
The news quickly reached Yu Yi, who asked who Zhang Xiu was. He was Zhang Ji's nephew, and there was a counselor named Jia Xu beside him.
Hearing this name, Yu Yi was stunned for a moment. Isn't this his master? So he asked again, "Could the Jia Xu you are talking about be the counselor who works for Li Cui and Guo Si?"
He replied: "That's him!"
After confirming, Yu Yi felt very heavy and thought, "Didn't the master return to his hometown? Why would he assist Zhang Ji? Could it be that he didn't care about fame and fortune at all and just wanted to find some weak people?" , increase the difficulty of the game and show your own abilities?"
However, Cao Cao's army was approaching. In the face of absolute strength, everything was nothing. In order to protect the safety of his master, Yu Yi decided to go to Wancheng to find Jia Xu in person and persuade him to leave.
Yu Yi did not say goodbye to Liu Bei and the others, but rushed towards Wancheng that night.
When they arrived at the bottom of Wancheng, Yu Yi shouted, "I am Yu Yi. I am here to see Jia Xu. I have important military information to report!"
The guard thought for a long time, not knowing who Yu Yi was, and said: "You can see our military advisor whenever you want. Leave quickly to avoid losing your life."
Yu Yi stood at the foot of the city, thinking that he could not let a soldier delay the important military flight, so he drew out his throwing knife and struck it in the direction of the torch. Soon the guard covered his neck and fell from the city wall. The other soldiers even Didn't see clearly.
A soldier saw Yu Yi under the city wall and thought that there was no one else here, it must be him, so he shouted: "He is a murderer, catch him quickly!"
Yu Yi knew that the noise was big enough, so he stood there and surrendered. The soldier felt strange and hurriedly notified Zhang Xiu.
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he thought someone was coming to seek refuge with Jia Xu, so he said, "Quickly untie me and call Jia Xu over!"
Soon Jia Xu came over and asked why. Zhang Xiu replied: "There is a man outside the city who calls himself Yu Yi. He says he is here to find you!"
When he heard Yu Yi, Jia Xu was surprised and happy, and said: "Where is he now? Please bring him to see me quickly?"
Zhang Xiu had some questions and asked, "Who is he?"
Replied: "He is Liu Bei's sworn brother and also my apprentice!"
Zhang Xiu hesitated and said, "Now that Liu Bei has surrendered to Cao Cao, I am sending Yu Yi to find you. Could it be that he is preparing to persuade me to surrender?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "If he comes to see me at this time, he must have something important to do. We'll talk about it first."
Soon Yu Yi arrived. After seeing Jia Xu, he quickly bowed and said, "Master, after we say goodbye to Luoyang City, are you okay?"
Jia Xu said: "I'm so good!"
Yu Yi glanced at Zhang Xiu and felt that this man's appearance was simple, and he was definitely not a man of great importance, so he said, "Didn't the master leave Luoyang City and go back to his hometown? How come he is here?"
Jia Xu sighed: "It's hard to describe in one word!"
