"Yang Xiu, how do you plan to use it?"

Zhuge Liang asked subconsciously.

During these days, he could realize that Xu Zhen was really good to Yang Xiu and treated him sincerely, basically teaching him wherever there was teaching.

Moreover, Yang Xiu was allowed to walk before the Three Gongs and Nine Qings, and his reputation rose.

In less than a month, he is already very well-rounded, can talk to important people, and handles various matters very gracefully.

Coupled with his status, the road ahead will definitely go very quickly, and it would be very strange if Xu Zhen was Yang Xiu's candidate.

Yang Biao and Xu Zhen were not said to be mortal enemies, but they certainly had many conflicts. As a result, his son still had such a close relationship with Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen immediately laughed and said, "Of course there is a place for him. This Yang Dezu has a quick mind and a delicate mind. He is good at guessing people's hearts. He has learned a lot about the world and is very knowledgeable."

"Within one month, he can become famous in Xudu with his ability. He can be regarded as a model for young people."

"When the new year comes, he can go up a level and be called as an official of the Han Dynasty, not a subordinate of the Prime Minister's Palace. In addition, his father is a Taiwei, and the Yang family is the leader of the gentry."

"Such a person who is good at recommending can convince everyone in the world."

When Xu Zhen said this, he nodded in agreement.

Zhuge Liang didn't know what Xu Zhen was talking about, but based on his understanding of his master, there must be something to trick Yang Xiu, and it wasn't necessarily a trick.

To train Yang Xiu, there must be some official position that Xu Zhen doesn't want, so he gave them a replacement.

"Let's go," Xu Zhen stood up and patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder, "I'll go to Xu You's mansion with my teacher and meet this Jizhou counselor today."

Anyway, when you step down as an agent, you basically stop receiving continuous rewards.

Xu Zhen doesn't particularly care now, so he might as well give himself free time every day. After all, if he is busy at the end of every year, such days will be too tight.

"oh."

Zhuge Liang packed up the slips, grabbed the hem of his clothes and followed behind.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at a mansion in the inner city. The mansion was very large, covering an area of ​​about two thousand square meters. There were few courtyards for people to go in and out of, and there was no place for official business. It was simply for Xu You to live.

Two guards stood in front of the door. When Xu Zhen's carriage stopped, they immediately saluted and waited. Xu Zhen nodded slightly and walked to the front yard to see Xu You hurriedly came out with a smile on his face.

"The presence of your Majesty, your Majesty, is truly a sight to behold."

"Today I happened to invite only one person, the Lord. Please sit with me in the main hall. I will immediately ask someone to prepare wine and food!"

Xu You glanced at the three people.

Dian Wei, Xu Zhen and Zhuge Liang.

Xu Zhen pointed at Dian Wei next to him and said calmly: "Just prepare more delicious food for him."

"well."

Xu You nodded quickly.

…

After a stick of incense.

Dian Wei was devouring his food, his mouth full of meat, and he didn't even have time to talk. He raised his head to look at Xu You from time to time. His expression could not be called disdain, but he was not very happy either.

Even Xu You's heart was throbbing in pain. This was fine venison, which was hard to come by, and the wine was worth hundreds of gold and had been produced for decades.

This Dianwei eats really...a lot.

In just a while, three people had already eaten. The rest of them hadn't even touched their chopsticks. Xu Zhen simply stayed still and turned to stare at Dian Wei.

"You kid, can you please eat more slowly? No one will compete with you! If you don't know, I'd think I'm being harsh on you."

Dian Wei's face was stunned, he laughed honestly, and then ate happily.

Xu You's heart ached after eating it.

But he never got to the point. Basically, he was talking about the public sentiment and policies in various places in recent years, as well as many comments about literary figures. Other than that, he was just flattering Xu Zhen.

Basically, up to now, he has not got to the point of what he said. Xu Zhen's face is also very calm. He is basically calm and will not rush Xu You.

After three rounds of drinking, of course, it was just Xu You and Dian Wei who were drinking together. Dian Wei would take a big gulp of wine every time he took a bite. The two of them pushed the glasses to exchange cups, which made Xu You's heart bleed. These hidden secrets

It is definitely not meant to be eaten in one sitting.

It is meant to treat distinguished guests, but I have never seen such a gluttonous guest. He is really not polite at all. Dian Wei is still a living monarch with a posthumous title. To be honest, such a person is probably not very popular.

Do you think his temper can be normal even if he wears all the things he can only have after death?

After a while, Xu You knew that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately raised his glass to Xu Zhen and said, "Junhou, there is something in my heart. Now that I have come to Xudu, I have unbearable doubts in my heart, and I really want to ask."

"you say."

Xu Zhen raised his eyebrows and finally got down to business.

So he smiled and nodded to Xu You without any pretense.

"How did the prince know that Wuchao had hoarded millions of grain and grass, and even made plans with his lord to raid Wuchao early, so that Yuan Shao's army had to collapse, and Yuan Shao could only flee back to Wei County and change his route in a hurry

Go to Qinghe."

Xu Zhen smiled calmly, "I figured it out."

"The art of yin and yang metaphysics," he said it very simply, but Xu You smacked his lips and didn't believe even half of it.

Isn't this just a joke?

"Your Majesty, I sincerely ask for advice. There are not many Han Dynasties in the world who can beat Yuan Shao like this."

"Why are there not many?" Xu Zhen laughed, then sat upright and talked, "The rest of the people can't do it because they don't have the territories of Yan, Xu, Yu, and Huainan, and they don't have such troops.

Elites, if we were replaced by another person, we are not Cao's soldiers and horses, but Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, Ma Teng, Shuzhong civil and military, etc., I am afraid that we can win, at least we will not be defeated. If you lose, you will lose in the north. You think you are in the north

All the lands are the most despised, and the heroes of the world are looked down upon. The internal strife is not eliminated, and the superiors and subordinates have no desires. Everyone is competing for credit. When I killed Yan Liang, he was driven into the mountains and forests because of his rashness. If he had stayed tight, why would he be like this?"

"For another example, you, Xu Ziyuan, may have been Yuan Shao's most favored plotter when you were with him in Runan, but are you still the same in Jizhou? You can't do the power he needs."

Xu You had a sneer on his face, and his expression had become very ugly, because Xu Zhen's words were far from being polite, and even felt like an insult!

"What he wants is a noble background to calm the people's hearts, and he wants famous scholars to lead the world's scholars to agree with each other. You, Xu You, are neither a famous scholar nor a noble family. You only have the intention to follow at the beginning, so you should decide your position early and don't

Go fight for the position of mastermind."

Xu Zhen glanced at it. He didn't care to tell Xu You such obvious things. As for deeper things, there was absolutely no need to say them.

"Humph, are you advising me to be submissive?"

Xu You immediately sighed: "Oh, I really fulfilled what Guo Fengxiao said when he left. It's hard for Yuan Shao to achieve great things!"

"This man is headstrong and has a volatile temperament. He does not dare to take risks, yet he takes the greatest risk and raises 650,000 troops to attack."

"No, no, no, no," Xu Zhen immediately raised his hand to stop him, "If you pour me bitter water all night, then you won't have to drink it for a long time. I don't like to hear about the grievances between you and the old master, and I don't intend to

Expressing any opinions, if you want to get a word or two of praise from me, it will be impossible."

After Xu Zhen said this, he stood up directly. Dian Wei beside him picked up the wine jar on the table and left, basically not giving him any face.

To put it bluntly, there is no friendship at all. Why is there any need to talk to each other here?

"Hey, don't worry, don't worry!"

Xu You rushed out immediately, stepped in front of him and grabbed Xu Zhen, with a bitter smile on his face, and sighed: "I really want to ask you for advice, why can the prince know about Wuchao."

This matter has been buried in his heart for a long time, and he has been unable to swallow it like a joke, because at that time Xu You planned to use this military information in exchange for great achievements. If so, now he is in Cao Cao

The status of the battalion can at least be raised to a higher level.

Perhaps he could become one of the many conspirators and become the mainstay, or at least be able to dominate them all. How could he be in this situation now?

No wonder, Cao Cao took him with him every day, and he was constantly promoted, and he would soon have the same status in Yuan Shao's camp.

"snort!"

Xu Zhen grinned, still with a relaxed and carefree smile on his face, but said a little more seriously: "I really calculated it. I'm not going to lie to you. The art of yin and yang metaphysics can be calculated with just a little calculation."

.”

"This is not that simple. It takes decades of hard work to understand the way of heaven and earth. Such planning has reached the realm of heaven and man, and it is difficult to explain."

When Xu You heard this, he understood that it was true and he didn't intend to say it at all...

"Well, since the Lord doesn't want to say it, then forget it."

"Oh, I didn't lie to you." Xu Zhen turned to Xu You with his hands behind his back and said, "Let me tell you by looking at your face and you will understand. If I didn't tell you about Wuchao, you would have

Are you planning to abandon Yuan Shao and go to Cao Ying to claim your merits?"

"Uh, yes, yes..."

Xu You's thoughts were immediately revealed, and he was a little flustered, and his expression became unnatural.

"That's right, that's why I asked you this question today, let me do the math again," Xu Zhen pretended to pinch his fingers for a moment, then smiled and said: "You have an arrogant personality. What you want is to be relied upon when you come to Cao Ying. If

If you really take this as your achievement, you will definitely become proud and complacent, and talk nonsense, thinking that you are close to your lord, or you may seek death because you regret betraying your lord Yuan Shao, and become insane."

"The better you live in Cao Ying, the more painful the debt of conscience will be in your heart. Not to mention how guilty you will be if Yuan Shao dies in a few years."

When Xu You heard this, he was immediately stunned. Xu Zhen's words really came to his heart.
To be continued...
