"Who is this?" Cao Cao was confused and looked around, trying to get some hints. The land of Yingru has always been a place where talents come out in large numbers. Although Cao Cao has actually controlled Yingchuan at this moment, he still cannot control everyone in Yingchuan.
Celebrities know everything.
Everyone was at a loss, only Xun Yu showed a thoughtful expression.
"Wen Ruo, do you know this person?" Xun Yu had many abilities and was very comprehensive, but the one that made him stand out among the heroes the most was his ability to recognize people. There was almost nothing that he didn't know among the famous people in the world, especially the talents in Yingchuan.
Only Xun Yu might be able to answer this unexpected recommendation from Xi Zhicai.
"I know a little bit." Xun Yu nodded, with a dull look on his face. He didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with Xi Zhicai's recommendation before his death, or he was considering the recommended Guo Jia.
Cao Cao was not in a hurry to urge him, he just looked at Xun Yu, intending to consult.
"I'm sorry, my lord, please forgive me." After a long while, Xun Yu seemed to suddenly wake up, apologized to Cao Cao, and said: "Guo Fengxiao is a little famous person in Yingchuan. He has read many classics. When he was studying,
Every time there is an astonishing statement, it is often true to the point, but few people know about it, so its reputation is not obvious to the outside world.”
"Oh? Why is this?" Cao Cao is a man with great ambitions. To realize his ambitions, talent is the most important thing. At this moment, although he is still immersed in the sadness of losing his help and relatives, he talks about the topic of talents.
, he still cheered up, and even talked with Xun Yu with great interest.
"First of all, he is a self-confident and aloof person. Although there are many celebrities in Yingchuan, only one among them may not be able to catch his eye. Therefore, he does not have many friends and his reputation is naturally not obvious."
We understand very well that reputation is something that everyone appreciates. Guo Jia has a high vision, and his friends have to be carefully screened. Naturally, there are not many people who are willing to make him famous.
"Secondly, he is still young and although he is talented,..."
"How old is he?" Cao Cao frowned slightly and asked.
"Twenty-one..." When Xun Yu answered, he looked somewhat embarrassed.
As soon as the words came out, all the civil and military officials looked at each other in confusion.
The ancients established their careers early. Thirteen or fourteen years old was considered an adult and could marry a wife. Twenty-one was not too young, but as the successor of Xi Zhicai, his status was higher than that of Cheng Yu, and he held multiple positions.
Xun Yu is tied with Xun Yu as the head of the shogunate. This age is really a bit scary.
Yes, it's scary.
Age does not necessarily represent ability, but it is the only way to accumulate experience. Without experience, how can we have insight into people's hearts and take appropriate countermeasures against the enemy and ourselves?
Although Xu Shu from Qingzhou was very strange, his sharp-edged aura could not be concealed no matter how he used his troops to make plans. Wang Yu did not leave him in the shogunate, but always let him carry out various tasks on his own.
What seemed like an extremely difficult task was due to his drive, not his tact.
The real treasure of the Qingzhou shogunate is not the young Xu Shu, but the scheming Jia Xu who rarely shows up easily! The saying that those who are good at fighting do not have great achievements are talking about people like Jia Xu. If this person was not in the middle of the plan, Wang
How can Yu make plans with his troops so accurately, so steadily, and so ruthlessly every time?
In fact, Xi Zhicai, who has just turned 30, is a little unsteady in his actions.
Instigating Zang Ba's plan to attack Qingzhou did not require him to personally take action, let alone accompany the army as a counselor. It was enough to send a similar envoy. It was his light travel that gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
, if he had not known the importance and threat of Xi Zhicai, how could Xu Shu leave Zang Ba and other thief chiefs alone and pursue the former to the end?
As a result, Xi Zhicai recommended a younger man, letting a man in his early twenties serve as military advisor, and entrusting the future of Cao's army of 100,000 soldiers and millions of soldiers and civilians to a young man. This kind of thing is simply too embarrassing.
It's hard for people to accept it.
The suffocating silence lasted for an unknown amount of time. What broke it was Cao Cao's deep voice: "Where is this person now? Can Wen Ruo call him over for me?"
"This..." Xun Yu hesitated for a moment and refused to answer.
Cao Cao was startled, and then he understood. It was obvious that Xun Yu was worried about whether he could defeat Guo Jia with his attitude of taking advantage of others. After all, he was a very aloof young man. If he didn't behave like a polite corporal,
If you do enough, I'm afraid you won't be able to satisfy the other party.
However, I have too many things to consider now. Where can I find the time to visit such a young man in person? God knows whether Xi Zhicai was confused before he died, or he expected the consequences his death would have on the military.
Because of the influence, such a helpless method was used.
Internal conflicts in the military have always existed, but they have been suppressed very well. They have not turned into conflicts, but are just healthy competitions.
But this time, these conflicts seem to have a tendency to explode in a concentrated manner.
Cao Ren died in battle, and the generals and relatives clamored for revenge. They believed that Wang Yu's strength had been depleted after fighting in Hebei for so long. Although Cao Ren was defeated by Cao Ren, the main force did not suffer much loss. In addition, after annexing Liu Dai,
In addition, the strength should be better than before. As the saying goes, a sad army will win. Attacking Qingzhou under the banner of revenge is a God-given opportunity.
As for the shogunate, headed by Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, they all advocated stability and not to rush into the army, lest they follow in the footsteps of Yuan Shao.
The two parties have been arguing about this issue for several days, and even Cao Cao, the lord, could not force it down. The death of Xi Zhicai poured a ladle of hot oil on this fire.
If it hadn't been for this incident, no matter how angry Xiahou Dun was, he would not have killed Xiahou Jie in front of him. What he was worried about was that the face of his relatives and generals would be damaged, and the changes in the situation would eventually affect his revenge.
The decision of the battle.
Now, if they are obsessed with Xi Zhicai's recommendation, they can divert everyone's attention from the revenge war. But the problem is that his followers and disciples are not foolhardy and foolhardy. They might
They will think that their elbows are turned outward and they do not take the life and death of their family members seriously.
It would be terrible if things turned out to be like that. People would be scattered and the team would not be able to lead the team. But at this juncture, there is no one who is resourceful and trustworthy to discuss. Good luck never comes in pairs, and misfortune never comes alone. The ancients are sincere.
I won't bully you.
Cao Cao shook his head and sighed: "My son Xiao Xiao and Zhi Cai passed away one after another. My heart is like a knife and I can't handle things for the moment. I will put all the previous matters aside for the time being and wait until tomorrow to discuss them again." After that, he covered his face with his sleeves.
Turn around and go.
Everyone was speechless, except for an unfathomable look in Xun Yu's eyes.
As the person who has followed Cao Cao for the longest time among the senior staff, Xun Yu easily caught the almost undetectable hint that Cao Cao conveyed to him when he turned around and hid his face - the lord, after all, is the lord, and loves talent.
A thirsty hero!
The successive bad news and disagreements on strategic decisions made the atmosphere in Cao Cao's shogunate very tense. After the military meeting was over, everyone was divided into two distinct groups, and then divided into several small groups within the large group.
, even when they were whispering, they still looked solemn and the atmosphere was tense. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that there were soldiers from outside the city.
Xun Yu was very popular. Whether he was the generals of the Cao and Xiahou families, or a group of staff, or foreign generals such as Le Jin, they all respected him. Some of them had an impatient temper, which was even more obvious.
It expresses the meaning of wooing.
Even if he was fine, Xun Yu would not get involved in such internal disputes. Yuan Shao's defeat was bound to leave countless lessons to the world. For Xun Yu, the most important one was that factional disputes must not be allowed to go unchecked.
Overflow, otherwise, no matter how powerful the force is, it will fall apart and perish.
In this regard, Cao Jun has always done a good job, but no matter how perfect a group is, it is impossible to have no flaws. When the situation is good, people will fight for power; when the situation is critical, people will blame each other, and everyone will
I believe that only I can turn the tide.
This is nature and has nothing to do with human character.
At this moment, Wang Yu and the Qingzhou Army were like giants covering the sky with one hand, shrouding Cao's army in darkness, either out of fear, hatred, or something else. In short, the whole army
Everything is a little out of whack.
Xia Houchun and other kinsmen generals clamored to attack Qingzhou while Qingzhou was exhausted after a long battle, but they did not put forward any feasible plan. What is the target of the attack? What strategic purpose can be achieved by capturing this target? In order to achieve this purpose, our side can
What kind of sacrifices should be made to win over allies, how to contain the main forces of the Qingzhou Army, and how to respond?
They didn't expect this series of problems, they just clamored to attack. If this battle is really fought like this, failure is inevitable. It's not just a simple failure. Based on Xun Yu's inference, this battle is 80% more likely to be a failure than Yuan Shao's.
It would be even more shameful, like Yuan Shao being scolded to death, and it would become a big joke that would be passed down from generation to generation!
On the other hand, those who advocate seeking stability and avoiding war can't come up with any good solutions. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Qingzhou, which has won a great victory in Hebei, may have a short period of weakness, and after that, the strength of the Qingzhou Army will definitely be
It will expand violently, to the point where people can no longer look at it.
Unless the lord surrenders to his opponent, there will be a battle between the two armies!
It is not difficult to avoid war now. Wang Yu obviously has no intention of launching a large-scale war immediately. He has put on a posture of recuperating and digesting the fruits of victory.
But what about a year or two later?
When the tiger in Qingzhou healed its wounds and plucked it out with greater force than before, how could the Yanzhou army resist?
Including Xun Yu himself, the staff who advocated avoiding war had no good solution. They could only emphasize over and over again the commonplace saying that development and growth are the best countermeasures.
The conflict between the two sides over whether to initiate the war or not arose from this and tended to expand. Xun Yu was worried about this, and presumably his lord was too. It was precisely because of this that the death of Xi Zhicai had a profound impact on Yanzhou. It was extremely heavy and the pain was almost unbearable.
Xun Yu lamented in his heart. Xu Yuanzhi's decisive pursuit had indeed hit his own side!
Of course, the most terrifying thing was Wang Yu. He didn't even use his weapons, he just used the momentum of victory to exert pressure. The huge Yanzhou army suddenly faced internal and external troubles, and was in danger of becoming unstable.
With worries in his heart, but not the slightest concern on his face, Xun Yu smiled and turned down many invitations to join the gang one by one without leaving a trace. He quickly walked out of the governor's house and got into the car he had been waiting for for a long time. The Wupeng carriage whispered a name.
"Go to Qingmei Lane."
"Yes." The coachman nodded and whipped his whip, and the horse neighed lightly as the carriage drove away. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
