[Comprehensive martial arts] I fall into the city

Cao Cao was also stunned when he received the news.

Yangzhou is rich and powerful, and he took control of Yangzhou on the surface, but in fact he was besieged on all sides. He lost a lot of hair just by dealing with the powerful Wujun, but he had to show a confident look to the outside world. Sun Jian will not act rashly for the time being. , but Zhang Chao from Xuzhou next door is a formidable enemy. To be honest, he was already ready to see the letter of war when he opened the silk.

In the end, he was asked to pay a ransom to buy someone?

Cao Cao almost threw away the silk and silk. He is not enough for food and grass now. He has gathered a lot of troops along the way, and there is not much food and grass in the village. He is asked to spend one hundred thousand shi to redeem two people he does not know at all... Cao Cao has not yet After the annoyance, a word Xun suddenly caught the eye.

He was stunned in the middle of the night.

Cao Cao has no shortage of military generals, but what he lacks most is counselors. The Xun family is everyone. Xun Yu was famous for his talent as Wang Zuo in his early years. It’s okay to cut off the beard, but what is the operation of redeeming people?

Cao Cao was suspicious, and after thinking for a long time, there was no conclusion. At best, Zhang Chao was blind to gold and jade, and wanted to exchange Baoshan for food and grass. At worst, it was a double-reed opera. Ready to get a fortune for the lord.

Rationally speaking, Cao Cao prefers the latter, and emotionally speaking, Cao Cao hopes to be the former. He has no talents available at the moment, and Chen Gong has already been scared away by him before, but now there is no one under his tent, and everything has to be done by himself. In the end, Cao Cao decided to take a gamble. If he loses, he will only get one hundred thousand grain and grass, but if he wins, he can get Wang Zuozhi's talent!

Immediately send someone to contact Zhang Chao.

Uncles and nephews of the Xun family were imprisoned in Zhang Ying in name, but in fact no one took them as prisoners. Zang Hong knew that Li Che’s decision could not be changed, but he still stayed with the uncles and nephews of the Xun family all day long, hoping to change the relationship between the two. idea.

In the end, it is still difficult to settle down.

When Zhang Chao was still a small sheriff, he managed internal affairs for Zhang Chao, planned externally, and did his best. His master and ministers agreed with each other. He was not an intolerant subordinate, and he didn't mind being robbed of his fame or limelight by Li Che, but Don't mind if he walks alone and doesn't take the lord seriously, and even more can't bear him to crowd out the virtuous and cover up the sky with one hand, if he can persuade the uncles and nephews of the Xun family, and if these two great talents can persuade the lord, Li Che will naturally turn over. Can't stand the wind and waves.

It can only be said that Zang Hong's idea is good.

Xun You greeted people with a smiling face, looking honest with a trace of foolishness, but in essence, he was listening to Zang Hong's words.

Zang Hong didn't recognize his own and even Zhang Chao's position in Xuzhou at all.

In Xun You's view, Li Che is an extremely dangerous person. He looks like a counselor, but he has the intention of acting as a lord. Nowadays, the difference between scholars and commoners is serious. If Li Che is not attached to Zhang Chao, his reputation alone will not be able to beat Xuzhou. With a big family business, and eunuchs like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, as long as they show their banners, they can conscript soldiers and borrow food, and create a territory. It is too difficult for ordinary people to get ahead.

Li Che was obviously realizing his ambition through Zhang Chao. When the time was right, Zhang Chao would support the young master to stand up, and when the young master died, it would be time to replace Zhang.

So Zhang Chao can't have his own team of advisers. As for this not very smart Zang Hong...

Xun You showed an honest smile.

Stupid people always have stupid blessings.

Seeing through does not mean telling the truth. If Li Che was already in charge at this time, Xun You felt that he could stay, but now is obviously not a good time. Li Che is dormant, and it is impossible for him to surrender his status to be the counselor of the common people. What's more, Cao Cao, who has soldiers and generals but lacks a mastermind, is not fragrant?

Cao Cao is naturally fragrant.

Not only did he prepare food and grass, he sent his general Xia Houdun to redeem the people, but he also sent a letter to Zhang Chao with sincere words of gratitude.

When Xiahou Dun came to Zhang Ying, he was not as cautious as a general.

Naturally, one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass cannot be given at one time. According to Cao Cao's intention, he would give [-] first, take Xun Yu away, and then give [-] to take Xun You away. a little.

Unlike Zhang Chao, this is a witty protagonist.

Li Che didn't intend to cheat him either, business is about coming and going, with Cao Cao's intelligence, there are still many places to do business in the future, the specific details were quickly agreed upon, and Xiahou Dun will still escort the food and grass after three days. It's time to hand over food and people.

Xiahou Dun came here mainly to inspect the goods.

Cao Cao has several officials from Yingchuan under his command, and two of them have seen Xun's uncle and nephew. This time, they came with Xiahou Dun. This can't be said on the face of it. Anyway, report it to Cao Cao after returning. , all said to be true.

Xun You and Xun Yu were not surprised that Cao Cao was willing to spend money to redeem them. Even if it was not for them, Cao Cao let out the news afterwards that Zhang Chao was selling talents cheaply for food and grass, and he, Cao Cao, bought horse bones with thousands of dollars. Fang Cai naturally had considerations in his mind. In the final analysis, this was a game between the lords, but Cao Cao didn't know it at the moment. It was not Zhang Chao who was playing the game with him, but Zhang Chao's little counselors.

It was at this time that spies outside Xuzhou sent news that after the rebels dispersed, Yuan Shao stationed troops in Hanoi, and got the military rations from Jizhou Mu Hanfu. , falsely claiming to join forces with Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping, to plot Jizhou. Gongsun Zan was fooled and led troops here, but Yuan Shao secretly passed the news to Han Fu. When Gongsun Zan's army arrived, Jizhou had already changed hands.

Although they fought a few battles later, with victories and losses, Yuan Shao couldn't get out of Jizhou. On the other hand, a young general named Zhao Yun from Gongsun Zan's side won a big victory over Yuan Jun and gained a little fame. The warrior Guan Yu and his two brothers assisted Gongsun Zan, and their reputation was quite high.

It is no wonder that others mentioned that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are both "brothers of the warrior Guan Yu". It is true that these two have no actual achievements and fame, and they have only remembered the "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu" by the heroes of the world.

Li Che also conveniently put the news aside.

Xun Yu and Xun You couldn't sleep, one was reading in the house, and the other was stargazing in the courtyard.

At the end of Qingping, Zhang Chao's eagerness, Yuan Shao's recklessness, Cao Cao's thirst for talents...all herald the coming troubled times.

The Qin Dynasty lost its deer, the whole world chased after each other, the Han Dynasty was about to fall, all heroes rose together, the Huanghuang Empire had come to an end, and a new era was about to begin, the world was chess, and the common people were children.

On a cold spring night, Xun You sighed for the common people, and found himself a little hungry.

Xun Yu was also a little hungry.

At this time, most of the people had two meals a day, but when they came to Zhang Chao's place, they had three meals a day, but Xun Yu thought that he should not be gluttonous, so he still had two meals a day, so Xun You had to go with him. But at this moment, the person is still awake, there is no food in his stomach, and coupled with the coldness in the middle of the night, there will naturally be a sense of empty hunger.

Not only does it affect the body, but it also affects the spirit.

At this time, there was a soft knock on the door outside the courtyard, which was completely different from the previous noises. Xun You, who was standing in the courtyard, opened the door naturally.

After all, he didn't think that Li Che could go back on killing him with his current status worth [-] yuan.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, there was an astonishingly beautiful little face.

Xun You couldn't help but soften his voice, and with a gentle smile on his face, he said slowly, "Why is the girl here in the middle of the night?"

Li Ning smiled and said: "Seeing that the lights here are still on, I dare to disturb you. It's cold at night. It's best for you two gentlemen to eat some hot food."

She handed the food box in her hand to Xun You, and never mentioned that Li Che lost his temper and refused to eat the tasteless supper. She was reluctant to pour out the half pot of noodles before knocking on the door.

After Li Ning left, Xun You took the food box into the house and opened it. There were two big bowls of snow-white noodle soup, each topped with a bright yellow egg. The heat was blowing on the face, as if even his heart softened a bit.

Xun Yu said nothing, just ate the noodles with his head down.

Xun You looked at it for a while, then suddenly stroked his chin with some stubble, and asked, "Uncle, do you think that little girl has her eyes on me, or on you?"

Xun Yu swallowed a mouthful of noodle soup, and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense."

Xun You sighed, "I'm only talking nonsense to you."

Xun Yu knew that his nephew, who was six years older than himself, looked honest and active, but he rarely communicated with others. He must be bored these days, so he shook his head and let him go. .

After Xun You muttered that sentence, he didn't say any more.

He and Xun Yu both have families, and the words are just talking. The girl is Li Che's sister. I am afraid that she has already made arrangements. It is unlikely that she will be Zhang Chao's concubine. She will marry his eldest son who is eleven or twelve years old. That's right.

The world is like this, it's just a pity for the beautiful woman.

Two days later, Xiahou Dun came to redeem him with food, and the transaction went very happily. He first redeemed Xun Yu, and then exchanged Xun You the next day.

The tool man Zhang Chao expressed his opinion, and Li Che said a few words, so he fell silent again.

Cao Cao was overjoyed to have won two great talents, and specially hosted a banquet for Xun Yu and Xun You. Not only was he observing these two future advisers, but Xun Yu and Xun You were also observing him.

Compared with Zhang Chao's heroism and Li Che's handsome face, Cao Cao's appearance is a bit inferior. He looks mediocre and not tall, but he can't hide the image of a master. At first sight, Xun Yu was very satisfied with him, and Xun You He didn't say anything, just smiled.

After the banquet, Xun Yu found Cao Cao and recommended him a man named Cheng Yu. Cao Cao did not neglect, and immediately sent someone to invite him. After Cheng Yu came, Xun Yu recommended him another man named Xi Zhicai. Fellow of Yingchuan.

One led a group, and one group led a larger group. Soon after, Cao Ying was full of talents and gathered together.

Cao Cao was so happy that he couldn't breathe, he would go to see him every day even if he had nothing to do, his face was dying of laughter, like an old farmer with a bumper harvest.
