To be precise, this great gift was planted by Cao Cao himself. It can only be said that it was planted well by the old Cao family!
Since it belongs to Lao Cao's family and no one else can take it away, there is no need to panic.
"Master Lu, the fourth and fifth pieces of the puzzle, I, Cao Cao, will come back for advice later..."
"The matter of uniting with the Yingchuan clan is imminent, so I will take my leave first!"
Cao Cao suddenly rose up.
Got it, realized it, then the next thing to do is to have a night talk with Yingchuan talents Xun Yu and Xun You by candlelight, and to confide in them, and even more importantly, entrust them with important responsibilities!
Since it was cooperation, Cao Cao had to show ten percent, no... twenty percent, thirty percent sincerity!
This is the third piece of the puzzle that Yu'er said is the key to becoming a king. It is also the most important piece of the puzzle from now on.
"Tap tap tap..."
Rapid footsteps sounded.
Cao Cao came here in a hurry and left in a hurry...
"Brother, dinner is already prepared...why..." Cai Zhaoji hasn't finished her sentence yet...
Cao Cao kept walking, waved his hands and said loudly: "I won't eat, I won't eat... You and Mr. Lu Yu can eat well. I will come to visit you again in a few days!"
Ah...ah...
Cai Zhaoji was slightly surprised. She always felt that her brother Cao Cao was very strange today. He came and went in a hurry!
…
Looking at Cao Cao's leaving figure through the window, Lu Yu sighed.
The subconscious murmur in his mouth——
——"Cao·Eunuch Queen·Wives Lover·Merlin Prophet·Barber in the Wheat Field·Mengde... I'm afraid two new labels will be added from today on!"
——“Qiao Peixun is the noble leader, Yingchuan’s strategic partner, and yes, there is also the ‘Song of the Emperor’, the fourth piece of the puzzle in the future!”
Thinking of this, Lu Yu smiled slightly: "Wei Wu's hegemony, set sail!"
…
Chenliu County, Post House.
Through the window, you can see two elegant men sitting opposite each other. They look out the window from time to time, as if they are waiting for something.
Now, the moon is already rising, and they are afraid that neither of them knows whether the person they are waiting for will come.
These two people were the uncles and nephews Xun Yu and Xun You, the talented men of Yingchuan.
"Uncle, I'm afraid Duke Cao won't come today." Xun You looked at the sky, checked the time, and shook his head slightly.
This afternoon, after Xun Yu presented "guerrilla warfare", Cao Cao hurriedly went to find Lu Yu. Now counting the time, even the chat should be over.
Therefore, Xun Yu was sure that Cao Cao would come to visit the post house tonight.
But Xun You thinks not. After all, their uncle and nephew have not made any achievements, and their reputation... is not as famous as "Yinlin". Let Cao Cao visit late at night and hold candlelight talks at night... This request,
It seems a little high.
"After all, the person I was talking to about Cao Gong was 'Yinlin', and there was a Tao strategy hidden in his chest. It is normal for Cao Gong to chat with him for a long time."
Xun Yu trimmed his beard and took a sip of tea to refresh himself, "But whether it's Cao Gong or 'Yinlin', if we can't understand the intentions of our uncles and nephews, then we Yingchuan scholars have made the wrong choice."
People!"
Xun Yu did not explain it directly, but Xun You knew the meaning of these words very well.
What is the purpose of their uncles and nephews coming here? At a small level, it is to seek refuge with Cao Cao. At a large level, it is to test Cao Cao on behalf of Yingchuan talents, whether Cao Cao is thirsty for talents, and whether Cao Cao can understand their thoughts... This
Both points are very important.
The talented man in Yingchuan has a vicious vision and will never be loyal to the mediocre master.
Besides, Cao Cao was not the first prince that Xun Yu's uncle and nephew tested. A year ago, they went north to join Han Fu to see if this Jizhou shepherd was worthy of their loyalty.
But...we were only halfway through the journey when we learned that Jizhou had been owned by Yuan Shao due to his brother Xun Kan's "mouth escape".
Including Han Fu, all the civil and military officials joined Yuan Shao's command... His elder brother Xun Kan sent a special letter inviting Xun Yu and Xun You to go with him.
Xun Yu and Xun You also went, but in fact, this pair of "icing on the cake" uncle and nephew were not reused in Yuan's camp. However, Yuan Shao's adviser group was full of factions and complex, and Yuan Shao was fierce and timid.
, so scheming...
To put it simply, Yuan Shao's camp is in too deep a position, and Xun Yu, Xun You...including Yingchuan's talented people cannot control it at all.
It is precisely because of this that they set their sights on the rising star Cao Cao in Yanzhou.
Meeting "Yinlin" and seeing through "Yinlin"'s identity was an unexpected surprise, and it also added great confidence to Xun Yu and Xun You, the uncle and nephew.
but…
If Cao Cao is really as thirsty for talents as the legend says, and can really understand the purpose of their uncle and nephew's coming here, no matter how late tonight, Cao Cao will come to the post house and entrust their uncle and nephew with important tasks.
If he didn't come, even if "Yinlin" was here, Xun Yu would still have some reservations about Cao Cao.
"Gongda, I will not misjudge the person. Cao Gong will definitely come..." Xun Yu's eyes were firm. "Today at ten o'clock at noon, when Cao Gong learned that the strategy of 'guerrilla warfare' came from Lu Yu, his eyes were filled with excitement.
The urgent light he emits is enough to prove that his "order to seek talents" is true and he is sincere!"
"For this reason, no matter how late it is to talk to 'Yinlin', Cao Cao will still come to our post house, and he will talk to you at night by candlelight and entrust you with important tasks!"
As soon as he finished speaking... the sound of rapid footsteps came.
He was an official of the post house. He panted and walked to Xun Yu and Xun You.
"Two gentlemen, Mr. Cao is here... Mr. Cao just left the Wei Mansion and rushed to the post house. He has already gone downstairs. Two gentlemen..."
Without waiting for the officer to finish speaking...
Treading...the sound of heavy footsteps again.
Cao Cao has already appeared in front of the door. "Two gentlemen, please forgive Cao for disturbing you late at night."
Here we go, Cao Cao is really here.
Xun Yu and Xun You looked at each other, and Xun Yu seemed to say again, look, is Cao Cao's pursuit of talent a mere act of fame? Is Yin Lin's talent a waste of fame?
Xun You nodded knowingly, everything was as expected by his uncle!
Now, Cao Cao has arrived... The next step is to have a normal process of holding a candle at night and entrusting him with important responsibilities, right?
His uncle Xun Yu could calculate these, so how could Cao Cao and Yin Lin not calculate them?
Sure enough, Cao Cao's words came one after another. "Hahaha, if you don't hold a candlelight night talk with these two gentlemen when they come to Yanzhou, Cao will probably not be able to sleep!"
"Now that Yanzhou is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized, we need talented people like these two gentlemen to govern the state and counties and help me, Cao Cao!"
As soon as these words came out, Xun Yu and Xun You also laughed out loud...
Smart people always like to cooperate with smart people. Even though it was just an insignificant detail like a late night visit, it was enough for Xun Yu and Xun You to see Cao Cao clearly...
In particular, he is different from Yuan Shao's "thirsty for talents" and "wise and decisive"!
Xun Yu looked at the sky and replied with a smile. "It seems that Mr. Cao and Mr. Lu had a very happy conversation..."
"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed. "Tonight, the two Mr. Xun and I will also have a great time talking!"
What does it mean to hit it off...
You have the culture, I have the martial arts, you have the talent to save the world, and I have the territory and soldiers. Let’s join forces with each other to achieve win-win cooperation.
This was what Cao Cao realized during the conversation with Lu Yu just now. He didn't expect to apply what he learned so quickly...
In Cao Cao's view...
As Yu'er said...
To achieve the goal of becoming a king, the first piece of the puzzle, Qiao Pei WuRen, is already in place...
The second piece of the puzzle, the people at the bottom, and the third piece of the puzzle, the Yingchuan clan, are already on their way!
