When Xun Yu heard Cao Cao's words, his face became visibly ugly, and even his words were a little bitter.
"My lord, this is exactly what I am going to say next. When I was about to return, I saw Chen Gongtai, who was also in Yuan Benchu's house, and no one told me in advance. Finally, after unremitting inquiries, I found out I know that Chen Gongtai went to Jizhou just to prevent us from asking for money and food from Jizhou.
But in the end, Yuan Benchu asked me to come back directly, and I couldn't stay any longer. But through what Gongze and Youruo said, the money and food allocated to the lord would definitely not be affected. I had no choice but to believe it and return.
However, I made a major discovery in Jizhou, which is that I and Zhicai's old friend Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao was also under Yuan Benchu's account, but he was just a minor official.
My lord, please do not underestimate this person. Fengxiao's talent is a hundred times better than that of Yu, and he is a great talent in the country. Now he has failed under Yuan Benchu's account and wants to wander around again. I have left a letter for him, asking Fengxiao to come to Yanzhou. View.
If Fengxiao comes then, the lord must remember to entertain him well. As long as Fengxiao is willing to follow, Yanzhou will be able to become more powerful and achieve great success. "
Cao Cao was a little surprised and confused for a moment. It was Xun Yu's words that contained too much information. Not only those who had money and food, but also those from Chen Gong and finally Guo Fengxiao.
Cao Cao thought deeply for a while, and then slowly spoke.
"Wen Ruo, please don't rush the matter of Fengxiao. If he comes to Cao Cao then, Cao Cao will definitely sweep up the bed to greet him. It's natural for Cao Cao to even go to invite Guo Fengxiao to come out in person."
Cao Cao is still very willing to believe in the talents recommended by Xun Yu. People who have come and gone in the past have proven the vision of Xun Yu's recommenders, not to mention that Guo Fengxiao and Xi Zhicai are both good friends. Yes, Cao Cao believes that those who can be friends with these two people must have great talents.
Then, Cao Cao spoke again.
"However, our focus now is still on the present. According to Wen Ruo, that is, we only promised to allocate money and food, but did not say how much.
And speaking out to reassure Wen Ruo, is Gongze and Youruo? "
Cao Cao still knew about Gongze and Youruo, although he didn't know much about them. Gongze was Guo Tu, and he and Xun Yu were both members of the Yingchuan scholar family. As for Youruo, his name was Xun Chen, and he was the son of Xun Yu. younger brother.
After Xun Yu heard this, he nodded, while Cao Cao was deep in thought. Considering the status of Guo Tu and Xun Chen in Yuan Shao's tent, they would definitely not talk nonsense. However, Yuan Shao did not agree personally, and Cao Cao was always uneasy.
Suddenly, Cao Cao suddenly thought of Chen Gong. Why did Chen Gong go to Jizhou to meet Yuan Shao?
"Wen Ruo, Gongtai... why did he go to Jizhou to see Yuan Benchu? If it was just to prevent Yuan Benchu from allocating money and food to me, Cao Cao, Chen Gong, and that man Lu Bu, how could they have the ability to make Yuan Benchu make such a choice?
I don't believe that Chen Gongtai couldn't see this, but he still went there now. There must be something hidden in it. Does Wen Ruo know the reason? "
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu intently. Although things were extremely complicated now, Cao Cao was very clear in his heart. He had an intuition that when Chen Gong went to Jizhou, something big would definitely happen, and it would be extremely detrimental to him.
When Xun Yu heard what Cao Cao asked, there was a smile on his face.
"My lord, the reason why Chen Gongtai went to Jizhou was inquired before Xia Lin returned. It was that Lu Bu was willing to resist the pressure from Yuan Shu for Yuan Shao, and was also willing to attack Yuan Shu for him, and Lu Bu only needed Yuan Shao's support for him. And reduce or not give me Yanzhou money and food.
This move was absolutely impossible for Chen Gong to realize. Both Lu Bu and Chen Gong underestimated the friendship between the lord and Yuan Benchu, as well as the irreplaceability of the lord.
More importantly, they failed to see clearly the true intentions of Yuan Benchu and Yuan Guangzhi. "
After Xun Yu finished speaking with a smile, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, his voice was extremely loud.
"Haha, a common man is indeed a common man. However, Lu Bu, a common man, didn't know that he didn't expect Chen Gongtai to be so insane.
Even though Yuan Benchu and Yuan Gongli had a grudge and wanted to eliminate each other, this was just an internal disagreement within the Yuan family.
No matter how much Yuan Benchu and Yuan Jiujiu were hostile to each other, they were still members of the Yuan family, and Lu Bu was just a man with a foreign surname. How could Yuan Benchu need this man to attack Yuan Jiujiu? What Yuan Benchu wanted was just to suppress Yuan Jiujiu.
Both of them want to strengthen themselves as soon as possible, and then send troops to attack the other side. In this way, the winner among them will be the one in the world.
Humph, it is indeed the Yuan family. To have Yuan Benchu and Yuan Gongliu in the north and south at the same time is really not to be underestimated.
Don't worry about this matter, Lu Bu will definitely not succeed. "
It's no wonder that Cao Cao thinks this way. He really knows Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu well. No one in the world knows these two people better than Cao Cao.
Whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, in the eyes of both of them, there is only one real opponent, and that is the other party. As for Cao Cao? None of them, including Lu Bu and Liu Biao, could fall into the eyes of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Look at this world, where are the feudal lords of the Han Dynasty divided? It was like a civil war between the Yuan family. Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, and he had Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Hanoi, and others as vassals.
And Yuan Shu also has Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, Sun Jian and others attached to him. How can there be any style of feudal separatism in this? It's so clear-cut.
It can be said that distant friendship and close attack were clearly played by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu kept playing bad chess and did not develop in Jingzhou. After being beaten by Liu Biao once, he actually set his sights on Xuzhou. Cao Cao was worried about Yuan Shu's strategy.
But Cao Cao was happy. If these two people were really more perfect, he wouldn't want to continue. Why would he bother so much? It just doesn't make any sense.
After all, these two people are so powerful that it makes people despair, and he, Cao Cao, has no tendency to abuse himself. Whenever there is a little hope, he will fight for it with all his strength, but there is no hope at all, and he can't find a direction even if he wants to fight for it.
Cao Cao's words were also recognized by Xun Yu and echoed by Cheng Yu. Xun Yu was originally a child of an aristocratic family, and he still had some understanding of the aristocratic family. It was difficult for Cheng Yu to understand these, but it did not affect his understanding of Cao Cao. Agreed.
Afterwards, Cao Cao no longer paid attention to Chen Gong's trip to Jizhou. After all, in his eyes, Lu Bu was just thinking about it, and Chen Gong and Lu Bu would definitely not make it happen.
Cao Cao then looked at Xun Yu and spoke immediately.
"Wen Ruo, regarding the matter in Yuzhou, how should we act now?"
Now for Cao Cao, Yuzhou is the top priority. This is not only the key to Lu Bu's victory, but also the key to expanding his strength.
