There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The attendant nodded tremblingly and went to work.

The young man turned his head to look at the city, finally snorted, turned and walked down the tower.

At the same time, Cao Cao was fighting fiercely with Zhang Lujun in Chang'an.

When it comes to combat power, the Hanzhong Army is naturally far from being an opponent of Cao Jun, especially to a certain extent, the followers of the Five Dou Rice Sect are far more capable as Taoists than they are soldiers. Although there are generals Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, Yang Ang and others were in charge, and Li Ru was secretly making suggestions, but Zhang Lujun was still far from Cao Cao's opponent.

Cao Cao personally sat in the town and defeated the Hanzhong army under the city of Chang'an. Pang De, Yan Xing, Ma Chao and other Guanzhong veterans would be the vanguard in the front, and defeated Zhang Lu's army steadily.

In the end, the disciples of General Wudou had no choice but to give up their attack, switch from attack to defense, and retreat towards the battlefield on the western front.

Cao Cao then divided Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and others to go north to Sanhe to fight against the Hebei army led by Zhao Zhao, Tian Yu and others, in order to solve the dilemma of the two sides attacking.

In Cao Cao's heart, he thought that as long as he didn't run into a pottery merchant, he would be invincible in the world.

The situation in Guanzhong was very good, but the news from the rear gave him a headache and added to his obstacles.

The potter's army followed him, entered the Central Plains, and attacked his lair.

Cao Cao's teeth itched with anger.

The man surnamed Tao was really despicable. As soon as he moved, he immediately entered the territory of Yan and Yu and attacked the Central Plains.

Isn't this pure scumbag?

Fortunately, Cao Ren, Xun Yu, Cao Ang and others guarded the three cities, so they could stop Tao's army and keep their territory.

But even so, Cao Cao's mood was extremely disturbed, and he couldn't sleep the whole night.

After all, he didn't know how long Xun Yu and Cao Ren could last.

But soon, Cao Cao got a more disturbing news.

This news was secretly sent by his second son Cao Pi.

It's the news about Xun Yu's meeting with the potter.

Chapter 786 Abandoning Power

At this moment, the pottery merchant was returning to the Puyang barracks with Xu Chu, Xun Chen and others.

On the way, Xu Chu didn't hide it at all, fully showing his lack of IQ and asking this and that.

"Prime Minister, can we really drive a wedge between Cao Cao and Xun Yu this time?"

The potter didn't answer him directly, but turned his head to look at Xun Chen, and said, "Mr. Youruo, do you think this has a high chance of success?"

In good conscience, Xun Chen was not sure about this matter.

But he is still very reasonable. At the beginning, the pottery merchant left Yuan's lineage, which was already a great favor to him, so in order to repay the pottery merchant's kindness, he also tried his best to organize do it.

No matter what the result was, he did his best, and from his point of view, he felt that it was good for his elder brother Xun Yu.

"Prime Minister, this time, although we are using a conspiracy to separate people, according to my understanding of my brother, he will definitely be touched. My brother has been determined to be a servant since he was a child. The ambition of the first half of his life cannot be easily touched by others, even if he understands our thoughts this time, he will not be able to pass this test in his own heart."

The pottery merchant nodded and said, "Mr. Youruo's opinion, I agree with it very much. Different strategies and strategies will have different effects on different people."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Xu Chu: "Did you understand?"

Xu Chuhu is not famous for nothing.

"I don't quite understand!"

The pottery merchant sighed and explained: "Then let me explain to you this way. This strategy is mainly aimed at those who are truly loyal to the imperial court and those who have real feelings for the Han Dynasty. This strategy is placed on them, so that the It will be useful, such as Xun Yu, but if it is placed on Guo Jia, Chen Deng, the kind of skinless, shameless, careless people, I am afraid it will not be so useful."

Xu Chu suddenly realized: "If you had said that earlier, then I would have understood."

But Xun Chen who was on the side suddenly turned his head and said to the Tao merchant: "Prime Minister, I have finished what I have to do. If the Prime Minister has nothing else to do, I want to return to Xuzhou."

The pottery merchant nodded and said, "Go back to Xuzhou, pack your bags, and then leave for Yecheng."

"Ye, Yecheng?" Xun Chen suddenly became a little stupid.

What does this mean?Why do you want me to go back to Yecheng?

Facing Xun Chen's bewildered eyes, the pottery merchant smiled and said, "Hebei has tended to be stable now, and now we need people with lofty ideals to go there. One is to continue to stabilize people's hearts for me, and the other is to develop internal affairs, strengthen commercial circulation, and cultivate land, etc. wait"

Speaking of this, Tao Shang said: "The Xun family in Yingchuan is a big family with many talents. It was a wise decision for Cao Cao to use the Xun family to rule Xuchang, but I used my husband to rule Yecheng. Think carefully, but it is not too late. Bar"

Xun Chen was silent for a while, before he said: "But I am an old minister of the Yuan family."

The Tao merchant stretched out his hand and interrupted his words, saying: "Tao is not suspicious of people, but he is not suspicious of employers."

Xun Chen was deeply moved, and finally agreed to go to Yecheng according to the arrangement of the potter.

Yingchuan is a place of outstanding people, and the Xun family is a leader among them. They arranged for Xun Chen to govern Yecheng. After the situation is stable, they can slowly restore the old ministers in Hebei and restore the prosperity of Hebei.

Jinling City, Suzhou City, and Hangzhou City are already wealthy cities. The potters plan to develop Hebei, which has great potential, in the next step. The first step is to make Yecheng and Beiping the economic centers in the north.

When the potters were preparing all this, Cao Cao was also troubled in Chang'an.

His second son Cao Pi gave him a secret letter, which described in detail what happened to Xun Yu in Xuchang City.

Cao Cao had several blisters on the corners of his mouth that night.

This time he really got angry.

After thinking about it all night, Cao Cao found Jia Xu and explained the matter to him in detail.

After Jia Xu was silent for a while, he said calmly: "Sikong, according to the old man, this is just a potter's plan to alienate people," and asked Sikong not to doubt Xun Jun's talent. "

What Jia Xu said was neither deep nor shallow. He would not harm Xun Yu by throwing stones into a well, but he would never desperately vouch for Xun Yu.

This kind of thing is too sensitive, he can only tell the truth from his own point of view, for him, this is already very difficult.

Cao Cao didn't say a few words to Jia Xu, and then let him go out temporarily.

Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Man Chong are all very close to Xun Yu, so it would be wrong to ask them.

And Jia Xu just clicked to the point and refused to go into details.

Cao Cao thought about it, but in the end he could only ask one person.

This person is Liu Ye.

To a certain extent, Liu Ye can also be regarded as a relative of the Han family, and his intimacy with the Han family is still much higher than that of Xun Yu. Therefore, to a certain extent, Liu Ye's words are relatively To have more say.

After Liu Ye read the letter Cao Cao handed him, he thought about it calmly for a while, and said, "According to what I know about Jun Xun on weekdays, Jun Xun's loyalty to the Han Dynasty is extremely high, and he is also very loyal to you, Sikong. Extremely loyal, in fact, the most difficult thing to deal with is this kind of person. We can't figure out whether his loyalty to the Han Dynasty is higher than that of Sikong. The Han Dynasty court is currently controlled by potters and Jingzhou Liu hands!"
