Cao Cao immediately arranged for people to summon him and called him back overnight. Before Xiahou Dun arrived, Cao Ren came back first and went to Cao Cao's mansion overnight to ask for an audience. Cao Cao happened to be drunk at that time and was sleeping. Xu Chu was standing guard outside the door holding a sword. Cao Ren was about to enter, but Xu Chu stopped him. He said angrily: "I belong to the Cao clan, how dare you stop me!"
He replied: "Although the general has a close relationship, he is an official guarding the outside. Although I have a distant relationship, as a guard, I should do my job well. The master is drunk and resting now. I dare not let the general in."
So Cao Ren left, and soon the news reached Cao Cao's ears, who sighed: "Xu Chu is such a loyal minister!"
Not long after, Xiahou Dun also came back, and the two went to Cao Cao to discuss the conquest.
At this time, Jia Xu was also summoned, and Xiahou Dun added: "Now that Liu Bei has occupied Chengdu and Western Shu has been pacified, it is difficult to plot. You can attack Jingzhou or Jiangdong first."
Jia Xu considered that attacking Jingzhou was likely to cause an unfavorable situation for Jiangdong to also attack, so he suggested: "I think it is difficult to attack Wu and Shu. There are natural dangers on both sides that are difficult to cross. We can attack Hanzhong Zhanglu first, and then capture Hanzhong , and once again attack Xichuan with all our strength, then Shuzhong can be pacified!"
Cao Cao said: "This idea is very good, and I have considered it, so I changed the content of the attack to the west."
In Jingzhou, Guan Yu's ship had just returned. On the way, Guan Yu said to Yu Yi: "I didn't expect that the fourth brother has not only improved a lot in martial arts, but also in strategy. I think he can rival Kong Ming!"
Yu Yi said modestly: "Compared to Kong Ming and I, there is still a long way to go. It was my second brother who praised me!"
Guan Yu said: "Jiangdong must be very angry when we return this time. We should prepare soldiers and horses and wait for work at leisure!"
Yu Yi said: "Second brother, do you still remember the words that Military Advisor Kong Ming gave you when he left Jingzhou?"
Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "Are you joining forces with Wu to fight Cao Cao? You saw it at the banquet today. In my eyes, Jiangdong is like a piece of grass. So why is there any need to unite!"
Seeing that Guan Yu was very arrogant, Yu Yi felt a little worried and said: "My eldest brother is the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty. Our attack on Cao Cao in the Central Plains is orthodox and the hope of the world. If we don't attack Cao Cao in the Central Plains, we will shift our focus to Above Soochow, the people will doubt our determination to revive the Han Dynasty and will not support us, so Kong Ming repeatedly emphasized that he should join Wu to resist Cao."
After hearing this, Guan Yu nodded and said: "If Soochow doesn't come to provoke us, it must be a good thing. If it seizes the land of Jingzhou and refuses to let it go, then I'm not someone to be trifled with!"
Yu Yi paid his respects and said: "Jingzhou has a special geographical location. Cao Cao is in the north and Sun Quan is in the south. It is easy to be attacked from both sides. We should avoid it!"
Guan Yu patted Yu Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, don't worry too much. With my Qinglong Yanyue Sword and Red Rabbit Horse here, there's no harm in dividing our troops to reject them!" After saying this, he burst into laughter.
Yu Yi was helpless and found that he could not persuade Guan Yu, so he made an excuse and left Guan Yu's mansion.
On that day, Huang Chenghan interceded for Huang Ye, and Zhang Ming led troops to surround Yu Yi. Afterwards, Yu Yi did not execute the two men, but released Huang Ye, canceled Zhang Ming's official position, and replaced him with Huang Shumin. Zhang Ming has been living in Huang Ye's home, and the two of them drank all day long without going out.
After Huang Yueying heard about this incident, she went to visit Ruier in person.
At this time, Rui'er was in a daze beside the window. If it was because of her debt to Huang Ye before, she has completely let it go now, and her affection for Yu Yi doubled in her heart.
After hearing the knock on the door, he was overjoyed, thinking it was Yu Yi coming to see him, so he quickly opened the door. When he saw it was his sister Huang Yueying, there was some disappointment in his eyes.
After all, Huang Yueying is someone who has been here before. She saw Rui'er's disappointment at a glance and said with a smile, "Are you missing your lover?"
After hearing this, Rui'er became even more shy and said, "Stop talking nonsense!" After saying that, a series of pink fists were struck, and Huang Yueying yelled and ran into the house.
The two of them got tired of running around the house, so they sat down side by side. Huang Yueying said: "I am your sister, what can you hide from me?"
Rui'er lowered his head and said, "Although I was very happy when I was with Huang Ye, I found that my heart beats faster every time I see Yu Yi. Is this because I like him?"
Huang Yueying smiled and said: "I don't know. Anyway, when I met your brother-in-law Kong Ming, I was in the same state. I felt very shy, and then I wanted to see him all day long."
Ruier held Huang Yueying's hand tightly and said, "Is it true?"
Huang Yueying nodded and said, "Yes! I am here just to tell you something about him."
Rui'er nodded, eyes wide open with an expectant expression on her face.
Huang Yueying continued: "Actually, Yu Yi has a good personal relationship with your brother-in-law Kong Ming. He specifically asked Kong Ming to tell me that he wanted me to say good things about him in front of you."
Rui'er said: "Ah! Does Yu Yi also like me?"
Huang Yueying smiled and said: "Who doesn't know that my sister Rui'er is the most beautiful woman in Jingzhou and is liked by many men. Being liked by him is also his blessing!"
Rui'er said modestly: "Sister, I'm overly praised. I've met Yu Yi twice and I think he's very good!" After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed and ran away.
Huang Yueying said: "But your brother-in-law emphasized to me that there is a wife and two concubines in Yuyi's family. If you enter Yu's family, you can only be a concubine!"
Rui'er was very disappointed after hearing this. She couldn't hold the teacup in her hand and it fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Perhaps Huang Yueying had expected this situation. She walked forward gently, picked up the fragments one by one, and said: "Yu Yi's wife is Diao Chan. The other two concubines, one is a brothel girl, The name is Xiaoli, and the other one is Zou, Zhang Xiu’s aunt, and he also has a son and daughter.”
Although Rui'er has never met Diao Chan, she also knows Diao Chan's reputation. She is a woman who can make the moon shy. Rui'er was a little overwhelmed by the series of information. It was difficult for her to relate the young and handsome Yu Yi to the father of her two sons.
Huang Yueying said: "I have said what should be said and what should not be said. The rest is up to you!" After that, he gently closed the door and left the room.
Rui'er looked at the direction Huang Yueying was leaving, feeling unable to calm down for a long time. Although she liked Yu Yi, she also cared about Yu Yi's life experience.
Huang Yueying quickly wrote the matter into a letter and sent it to Xichuan Kongming. After receiving the letter, Kongming read the content, thought for a while, and then dialed Yuyi's video.
Yu Yi had just returned to his mansion. After receiving the video, he smiled at Kong Ming and said, "Your video is very timely. I happen to have something to tell you!"
Kong Ming smiled and said, "Then you go ahead and say it."
So Yu Yi told the story of going to the appointment with his second brother. When describing how he grabbed Lu Su's hand and made Lu Su lose his mind, Yu Yi deliberately increased his bravery.
