Cao Cao was also helpless about Xun Yu leaving behind a lot of government affairs and accompanying Guo Jia to the God of Food Competition.

The main reason was that they were worried about the safety of the two, so they finally chased the Dian Wei faction and guarded them from the side.

At the busiest time of the year at the end of the year, she had to face a lot of messy government affairs, which proved once again that it would be impossible without Xun Yu's help.

It’s not impossible to deal with it myself, but Xun Yu is really efficient in dealing with these messy things.

Isn’t it just a ‘prime minister’? I have never seen anyone as efficient as her before.

Later, when she came back, she brought back an important news. Using this news as an opportunity, she successfully regained Yanzhou.

Naturally, the name Zhu Xin also entered her sight for the first time.

But there is very little information that can be collected, mainly because Zhu Xin is too goo. Many times he seems to live in Sun Ce's shadow.

"Is the lord talking about Zhu Xin?" Xun You took over the intelligence work and found that one was to collect Zhu Xin's intelligence.

I just wonder why Sun Ce's husband, a chef professional, is worthy of Cao Cao's specialized in collecting his information.

Normally, in Sun Ce’s information, it would be better to include a description of “Husband Zhu Xin, a chef-based professional”!

"This Zhu Xin just met Wen Ruo and the other two in Wu County, so he came out to poach. He was very familiar with the three of them. How could a person who had never been to the Central Plains know so many things?" Cao Cao asked back.

Especially in Zhu Xin's intelligence, there are two more useful information.

The first is that he served as a military advisor under Sun Ce. Although he was a deputy military advisor, it also means that he was good at planning.

Cao Cao had reason to suspect that this guy was under Sun Ce who was in charge of the intelligence system.

The second is that he is actually a Level 4 professional. Although the profession of "Chef" is not of great value, the appearance of Level 4 professional is shocking.

Combined with this information, Cao Cao couldn't help but wonder whether Xun Yu was a Level 4 professional.

After all, her ability is obviously better than that of a normal third-level professional.

But the latter never admitted it, and it was not easy for her to dig too deeply.

"Indeed, behind this ordinary situation, it seems that this person is hiding some secrets. But these have nothing to do with us." Xun You replied.

"How could it be okay?" Cao Cao shook his head, "This time we went to the expedition, Lu Bu and Liu Bei, to Pei County or Xia Pi County, and we were to Runan County. But no matter what in the end, we would definitely become neighbors with Sun Ce."

Cao Cao did not expect Sun Ce to surrender to the court, and the two sides could only be enemies.

Zhu Xin is Sun Ce’s husband, and this identity alone deserves attention.

After all, husbands can easily affect their wife's decisions.

"Next, should we focus on collecting Zhu Xin's information?" Xun You expressed his understanding and then asked.

"The priority is equal to Yuan Shao!" Cao Cao nodded, "even above Sun Ce!"

Judging from the information, Sun Ce is a strange woman who likes to wear reckless clothes.

He has no political acumen, and is even less good at strategy.

Such a brave but not a resourceful existence is not worth worrying about.

At least in her opinion, Sun Ce's power and Zhu Xincai should be the actual master.

"Yes..." Xun You was a little confused. Did Zhu Xin actually have such a high evaluation?

Yuan Shao was Cao Cao's top enemy, which means that Zhu Xin, who is the same level as Yuan Shao, was also regarded as a strong enemy by Cao Cao?

To be honest, if it weren't for 100% confirmation that the two had never met each other, Xun You couldn't help but wonder if Cao Cao had fallen in love with Zhu Xin.

After all, there are rumors that after she and many married couples have some bad rumors.

Time passed day by day, and it was early 197 AD.

Compared with last year, the entire Central Plains has become undercurrents.

Since last year, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Liu Bei and Sun Ce have expanded the number of soldiers.

Especially in the end of the year, soldiers were transferred very frequently.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Cao Cao officially launched a proclamation to fight against rebellion, which was personally signed by Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, calling on the princes of the world to jointly attack Yuan Shu, who was usurped and proclaimed the emperor.

Five thousand troops were stationed in the border of Runan and killed at any time.

At the same time, there are five thousand elite soldiers, including the three thousand most elite Qingzhou soldiers, who are quietly stationed on the border of Pei County, ready to go.

He ate all over the world with one move. When Lu Bu attacked, Cao Cao set up an ambush in another place and took the opportunity to steal Chenliu County.

Now that he is still playing this trick, it depends on whether Chen Gong can see through it.

It doesn’t matter if you are seen through, Peijun can fight anytime.

At the same time, in Pei County.

"Lord, Cao Cao issued a manifesto to fight against rebellion and wanted to attack Yuan Shu." Chen Gong put the manifesto in front of Lu Bu and said.

"..." Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with some confusion, not knowing what she meant.

"I didn't expect that Yuan Shu was so bold that he would dare to overthrow the emperor. If we were concerned about marriage and came forward to help her, we would be afraid that the reputation was not very good, and we would be completely terrified." Chen Gong replied.

He paused and continued, "Unless we have the awareness of being bound to Yuan Shu, we should make a decision early!"

Anyway, Lu Lingqi has not sent her to Shouchun at present, and the engagement between the two parties is still verbally, so it is still time to repent.

"Well..." Lu Bu nodded. In fact, she didn't want her daughter to marry Yuan Shu's silly son.

I met occasionally last year, mainly to let two engagements meet.

At that time, she had met Yuan Yao, a child who was stupid in his studies.

Such an existence would be fine if it was a peaceful and prosperous era, but people like this had no future in this chaotic era.

"Slow down, if that happens, what should we do in the future?" Xu Si stepped forward to stop him. After all, he proposed to marry Lu Bu and Yuan Shu.

"It's not easy to develop?" Chen Gong took out another letter. It was obviously a secret letter. He used some encryption methods, but it was not difficult to crack it.

Xu Si took it over and looked at it. He saw the word "betrayal" between the lines. Some people under Liu Bei's command had two hearts!

"If Liu Bei went to fight against Yuan Shu, then Xuzhou would be empty. Not only did she have people who were interested in us, but also Zang Ba of Taishan actually admired his lord very much." Chen Gong said proudly. This was her biggest gain in the past few months.

Not only did they gain two 25-year-old Cao Bao and Cao Hong, but they also gained the friendship between Zang Ba.

With the help of two people, Lu Bu could take over Xuzhou at any time.

Several counties under Xuzhou are much more comfortable than one county in Pei County!

Besides, Zang Ba is watching from Mount Tai, so there is no need to worry about Qingzhou.

Peijun, she also has arrangements and she doesn’t need to worry about it at that time.

As for Sun Ce, it was a coincidence that Sun Ce's husband Zhu Xin seemed to have a good impression of Lu Bu.

If you are lucky, with his help, you may be able to form an alliance between the two sides, or you can send someone to ask now.

Anyway, Sun Ce also wants to attack Yuan Shu, so he has an excuse to form an alliance.

At that time, there is no need to worry about the Yangzhou direction, and you can attack Qingzhou north and finally counterattack Yanzhou. However, it is a matter of time!

"That's how..." Xu Si suddenly had nothing to say when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Chen Gong would hide so deeply.

"That's it...right!" Lu Bu made a move on his head and nodded.
Chapter completed!
