[Three Kingdoms] Cao Cao, here again

A few days before sending troops to conquer Xuzhou, Xun Yu came to meet her alone.

"Sikong, Mr. Xun Ling asks to see you!"

Xun Yu, Cao Xiaoman looked up from the table, put down the bamboo slips in his hands, was surprised for a while, and then said: "Please!"

"No." The visitor immediately went out to pass on the message, and then the sound of footsteps came from the ear, which was already close at hand.

"Xun Yu, meet Sikong." Xun Yu bent down and bowed to Cao Xiaoman.

But Cao Xiaoman didn't raise his head, "You don't have to be like this if you want to deal with me... We didn't have such vain courtesy before, and now you are also a minister, maybe I still need to rely on Lord Xun Ling to support His Majesty a lot. Take care of everyone."

Cao Xiaoman felt that what he said was a bit weird, and he was really embarrassed to continue explaining.

Xun Yu also didn't expect that he was going to remind Cao Xiaoman to be more vigilant to Chen Gong, but he was already so unpopular when he came here, "Sikong is the third lord, so he can afford it, and Minggong will always be Minggong."

More or less, he was comforted by Xun Yu's words, "What are you doing here?" It was just business as usual.

"Gongtai is the key to conquering Xuzhou this time. Liu Bei needs to be prepared. The rebellion of Gongtai in this world, Sikong..." Mo Tai took it to heart, after all, it had a great influence on Cao Cao before, but this time it still cannot be saved, and the mood is not good where to go.

"It's just that you can't keep people, and those who should go will still be there." She was hesitant at that time, and she was indeed not what a superior person should be, which inevitably disappointed people.

"This time it's still Xun Ling... Wen Ruo sits in Xudu, if he can think about it again now, Wen Ruoke will choose to stay."

She just didn't want it very much, and part of it was because of her. Xun Yu was for those unnecessary things... Just like her, she was crushed to death by responsibility.

"How can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den? Could it be that Sikong will stay in Fengxiao? We just protected the same person."

Sure enough, when Guo Jia was mentioned, Cao Xiaoman obviously hesitated, and he couldn't help laughing at himself inwardly.

Cao Xiaoyu hesitated, but she knew that if she used Guo Jia, she would not leave a way out for herself. Guo Jia is not Xun Yu, he will only follow her ideas, or fan the flames from the sidelines, but Xun Yu is different. What I hope to see, if I stick to it, it will affect Cao Cao. Never claiming to be emperor is the best proof.

"Fengxiao will stay, but at the very beginning, some obstacles will be directly cut to the root. Hanchen is dispensable! Rather than being entangled in the end, it is better to solve it casually, not like now. There's room for turning around, and it's not just a top hat."

And she will be the sinner of the whole world, but this is not important to her, all the dangers have been brought to her, the danger is just a condiment for a dying person, Guo Jia is only responsible for using the means, and she will bear the consequences. It will make the original path simpler, but also more direct and crazier. Guo Jia only needs to continue to deal with the aftermath after her death, and since she is dead, she doesn't care about her name.

These are the worst plans, the plans after pushing Xun Yu into Liu Bei's hands, and now that Xun Yu has reached this position, she only wants to know these thoughts alone, and she has no intention of confessing them.

But looking at Xun Yu's face, he seemed to be frightened by her too.

Now Xun Yu just bought some buffer time, drooped his eyelids, and blocked the crazier thoughts in his eyes. In the limited time, to accomplish an impossible thing, he could only use extraordinary means to continue to compress the time. It is impossible to compress half of the time and use the other half of the time just to fulfill a promise.

This is the best solution she can think of so far.

Cao Xiao tightly clenched his fisted fingers, "Since it is a promise, if Wen Ruo can stand on the cusp of the storm and stay in Xudu, if he failed to do what he said before, I will honor it for him."

She didn't want to owe favors, and Xun Yu could leave from the beginning, and she didn't have to take that position, how could there be no reason for her.

"This is the path I chose." It has nothing to do with other people. I have stayed here for half my life in the previous life. I should have learned a lesson, but I chose this path again. That is also his own business. No one can force him.

Seeing Xun Yu like this, Cao Xiao shook his head helplessly, even if Cao Cao forgot, but every time there would be a handwritten letter and something Xun Yu didn't want to see, he took a step back, isn't that enough? ?

The conversation between the two didn't last long, because Cao Xiaoman was called away temporarily because he had something to do. When he got up and passed by Xun Yu, Cao Xiaoman was anxious and didn't see the expression on Xun Yu's face at that time.

However, Xun Yu could only respectfully send Cao Xiaoman away, staring at the empty study room in a daze for a moment.

outside the workshop

Mao Jie handed Cao Xiaoman a stack of straw paper that had just been delivered, "Sikong, these are the papers that have just started to be manufactured, and they haven't met Sikong's requirements."

When he was speaking, he looked at Cao Xiaoman with admiration and even more excitement. If these things spread, the children of the aristocratic families who studied would all be in the hands of Cao Xiaoman.

Touching the straw paper in his hand, the paper is too thick, and the color difference is too big, "These still need fine workmanship, the color should be white, and the steps have been given to them. According to the above, it is not a big problem, and the best craftsmanship is invited. People, it can be used for ordinary writing, but I need rice paper."

"Xuan paper, Sikong is going to give it away, after all, it is too expensive, but the output will not be too high, maybe only one or two sheets at a time."

"It's enough, when will it be?"

"Three days later."

Three days later, she set off for the expedition, "Be sure to send someone to deliver it, and the time must be fast."

In such a hurry, Mao Jie was a little curious about whom to send, "No."

"Printing, I need a separate model font, and I will send it in three days. As for the others, you can find someone to engrave. The drawing is just a concept, and it has been given to Deheng. How to make it depends on him. , There is no need to rush this, let him think about it slowly."

Movable type printing, this, to be honest, she doesn't know much, so she can only give some suggestions, but the paper is really urgent.

"No, the minister will tell you."

"Ah."

After Cao Xiaomu came back, Xun Yu was no longer there, and he wanted to send someone to explain to him, so think about it and forget it!

Having said that, even Xun Yu had already had so many opinions on her, so he thought she was just being perfunctory.

It's a pity that Cao Xiao didn't know that Xun Yu was really waiting, but this time he waited for almost a month.

One month, there will be variables over time.

Xun Yu, who had been working all the time, would always ask the clerk who was waiting at the side, "Sikong, did you ever send someone over?"

"Never, after Sikong returned home, no news came out."

Tuliu Xunyu clenched the pen in his hand, "I see, you all go down! You don't have to look at Sikong any more."

The clerk was still in a daze, but when he saw the jade-like gentleman's face, he immediately lowered his head and replied, "No."
