When Guo Jia and Zhao Yun returned to their accommodation, some of the alcohol had dissipated, and they did not rest immediately.

Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yun and suddenly said, "Zilong, did you use a killing machine before?"

Zhao Yun did not deny it, nodded and said: "The lord's affairs have been known to him, and for the sake of the lord's ambition, I will never let anyone interfere with it." However, Fengxiao, you also said that Xun Wenruo is a sincere gentleman, so in the end, I didn't do it. ”

"The great ambition of the lord is really exciting!"

Guo Jia sighed leisurely, and then said with a smile: "The lord can have such a loyal subordinate as Zilong, I really don't know if it is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

Zhao Yun also laughed: "Fengxiao is the same, with Fengxiao, you are so lazy, but you are willing to work tirelessly for the great ambition of the lord, and come to Yecheng to recruit talents for the lord." ”

"Haha!"

Guo Jia and Zhao Yun looked at each other and laughed, and their eyes flashed with pity.

After laughing, Zhao Yun looked solemn and asked, "Fengxiao, with your understanding of Xun Wenruo, do you know who he will serve? If this person dies, will Xun Wenruo serve the lord?"

Guo Jia shook his head and sighed: "With Wenruo's temperament, I'm afraid it will be difficult to serve the lord." Wen Ruo is bent on restoring the former glory of the Han Dynasty, and only the princes of this heart are willing to assist. ”

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Could it be that Xun Wenruo wants to serve Cao Cao?"

Guo Jia was surprised and asked curiously, "Zilong, how do you know that Wen Ruo intends to serve Cao Cao?"

Zhao Yun explained: "On that day, the eighteen princes begged Dong, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, was afraid of Dong Zhuo's strong soldiers, and he could not advance, only Cao Cao and Sun Jian were not afraid of Dong Zhuo's momentum, but in the end, the Son of Heaven was still held hostage by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an. Secondly, Yuan Shao used his position as the leader of the alliance to seek his personal interests. He not only ignored the Son of Heaven, but also used his reputation and prestige to take the lead in negotiating with the Kwantung generals to support a new monarch, and Cao Cao also took the lead in opposing it. And the lord praised Cao Cao a lot in the past, saying that the person who can calm the world in the future must be Cao Cao. With Xun Wenruo's eyesight, if he wants to support the Han family and serve the Ming Lord, Cao Cao is the only candidate. ”

"What Zilong said is similar to what I think!"

When Cao Cao conspired with Biao Shao and others to support the new emperor to replace the Son of Heaven, his attitude was very clear: he severely condemned Yuan Shao and others, believing that the primary purpose of the Kwantung princes' army was to rescue the Son of Heaven who was in danger, and now the Son of Heaven was only subject to Dong Zhuo, and there was no sign of the death of the country. Under normal circumstances, maintaining the status of the Son of Heaven is a loyalty to the Han family. Cao Cao's confession undoubtedly coincided with Xun Yu's lifelong pursuit, thus winning Xun Yu's favor. Although Xun Yu had not yet defected to Cao Cao at this time, this strengthened Xun Yu's determination to abandon Yuan Congcao in a certain way.

"Don't hide it from Zilong, when I abandoned Yuan Shao, I thought about going to Cao Cao to see if he was the master I sought in my heart. ”

Zhao Yun suddenly asked curiously: "In that case, why did you come to Dongping County to find the lord again?"

Guo Jia's mind flashed the figure that swept away, and recalled: "When I returned home, a friend came to see me. He also admired Cao Cao's feat of assassinating Dong Zhuo, so he followed Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao misunderstood, killed his father's sworn brother Lu Bohao's family, and had no self-blame, saying, 'I'd rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me', and the friend was disappointed and abandoned Cao Cao. As far as I am concerned, those who achieve great things are not informal, and Cao Cao's words and deeds are exactly what the overlord did. However, after the little sister persuaded me, I thought about it in my heart. Then I decided to test the lord first, if the lord satisfied me, I would stay to help, if the lord could not satisfy me, I left to serve Cao Cao. After getting along with the lord for a period of time and getting to know the lord, I decided to stay. At that time, I realized that in the past, my ambitions were just selfish interests, and only by having the world in mind like the lord could I truly understand the master. The lord can sacrifice himself for the people of the world, but Cao Cao can't do this. ”

Guo Jia thought about serving Cao Cao, so he had an in-depth understanding of Cao Cao.

Today's Cao Cao is not powerful enough, and he still has a sense of awe for the Han family. However, once Cao Cao's power reaches the point of being a supreme minister, then it is Cao Cao who helps the Han family to pacify the world, and it must be Cao Cao who subverts the majesty of the Han family.

"Actually, I used to hope to restore the glory of the Han family. In the past, Wei Qing and Huo Quai's feat of expelling the Huns made people's blood boil every time they thought of it. On that day, I talked with the lord, and the lord promised me that if the Han family could be assisted, it would be assisted, and if it could not be assisted, it would not be harmed. Thinking about it today, it's a little ridiculous. Restoring the glory of the Han family is just a blessing for the family, but the will of the lord is to benefit all the people of the world and even future generations. As the lord said, the strength maintained by the soldiers is not really strong, so that everyone has a strong heart and an unyielding will in their hearts, so as to continue the unquenchable flame of our China. ”

As a strategist, Guo Jia sees it more thoroughly than Zhao Yun.

The imperial court will never tolerate a person with greater power and prestige than the imperial court, and Yuan Chang's ambition and deeds will undoubtedly gain unprecedented prestige among the people. Moreover, what Yuan Chang did would only make the people more sober, more aware of their status, and more understanding of the imperial court, and there would still be respect, but they would no longer be afraid. Therefore, if the two want to coexist, it is impossible.

There are only two situations, one is that the imperial court removes Yuan Chang and continues to control power, and the other is that Yuan Chang eradicates the Han court and continues to carry out his great ambitions.

However, Yuan Chang can give Zhao Yun such a promise, which shows his closeness to Zhao Yun. Moreover, Guo Jia also understood that since Yuan Chang said so, there must be his solution, but as for what kind of method it was, it was not something that Guo Jia could guess.

"It's not too early, let's rest early. Since Wen Ruo is unwilling to serve the lord, it is okay to stay in Yecheng, it is better to go back and listen to the lord's teachings as soon as possible, haha!"

"Fengxiao, you are so ridiculous about the lord, are you not afraid that I will sue the lord?"

"Zilong, would you say?"

"What do you say?"

"Haha!"

……

In the Xun family's mansion, since Guo Jia and Zhao Yun left, Xun Yu fell into contemplation, thinking in his heart what kind of person Yuan Chang was, and he would let Guo Jia serve him willingly. It's a pity that Yuan Chang's ideals do not meet the expectations of the Ming Lord in Xun Yu's heart, otherwise he must go to see him.

"Uncle Clan, are you sleeping?"

"Yes, Gongda, I haven't slept yet, come in!"

One person pushed the door in, but it was Xun Yu Xun Gongda. Xun You is now in his thirties, but he can't see it from his handsome appearance. The Xun family is mostly born with handsome faces, and it is thought that it is good genetics.

Xun Yu is six years older than Xun Yu, but in terms of generation, Xun Yu is Xun Yu's uncle. The two have no actual relationship, Xun Yu's grandfather is Xun Shu, the tenth descendant of Xun Yu during the Warring States Period, and Xun Yu's grandfather Xun Tan is the eleventh descendant of Xun Yu, and the blood relationship between Xun Yu and Xun Yu is almost a decade apart. However, because they are all descendants of Xun Guo, for the children of the scholar clan who are mainly family-oriented today, it does not matter much whether they are close to each other or not.

Xun You has always been close to Xun Yu, and the two have similar ideas, so the relationship between Xun You and Xun Yu is closer than other people in the clan who are related to each other.

"Uncle clan, I heard that Fengxiao was coming, so I wanted to come and see him, and after arriving, I knew that Fengxiao had left. ”

Because Xun Yu and Guo Jia are good friends, Xun You is also familiar with Guo Jia, and when he heard that his old friend was coming, Xun You also wanted to see him, but he didn't know that Guo Jia had left.

"It doesn't matter, there will be a chance in the future. ”

Xun Yu Wenyan comforted him, afraid that Xun Yu would ask Guo Jia about the purpose of coming, so he changed the topic and asked: "Gongda, if the chaos has appeared today, the princes of various places, do you have a clear choice of master?"

Xun Yu promised Guo Jia that he would not tell Yuan Chang about it, as a sincere gentleman, Xun Yu would keep it a secret.

Xun You sat down facing Xun Yu and replied softly: "Uncle Clan, you have already said that wherever Uncle Clan goes, you will follow Uncle Clan." It's just that I don't know if the clan uncle has a clear choice of master in his heart?"

As Guo Jia said, Xun Yu is a sincere gentleman, and Xun Yu also knows this about Xun Yu. Therefore, Xun Yu is a person who doesn't know how to hide things, Xun Yu and Xun Yu are familiar with each other, how can they not know that Xun Yu has something to hide from himself? Every time Xun Yu and Guo Jia meet, they must talk about major events in the world, if Xun Yu is not present, when Xun Yu appears in front of Xun Yu, Xun Yu will definitely say what he said to Guo Jia, and the two continue to discuss. However, today, Xun Yu did not mention anything about the content discussed with Guo Jia, which shows that Xun Yu has something to hide. However, Xun Yu knew that Xun Yu must have promised Guo Jia not to tell him about today's matter, and Xun Yu would not harm him, so he didn't ask.

"Gongda, what do you think of Cao Cao?"

Xun You nodded and praised: "There are only a few people in the Eighteenth Road Princes who care about the Han family, and Cao Cao is one of them. Tiger general Sun Jian fell to Jingzhou, which is sighing. However, in contrast, Cao Cao can be the master, and Sun Jian has the style of a general, but he has no master's qualifications. If the clan uncle wants to serve Cao Cao, he should follow him. ”

Xun Yu Junya's face rarely showed anger, and he said indignantly: "The county guards everywhere don't think about rescuing the Son of Heaven, blindly attacking others and expanding their power, it's really hateful. Now Cao Cao swept the Yellow Turban Yu Party in Dongjun, and was previously served as the Taishou of Dongjun by Yuan Shaobiao, sitting firmly in the land of a county. I want to go and do it and help it get bigger. When he is full-fledged, he will rescue the Son of Heaven from the hands of Dong thieves, and then pacify the local non-subordinate county guards, stabilize the world, and restore the former glory of the Han family. ”

Xun You frowned, and said helplessly: "Uncle clan, then the Xun clan and other warriors who took refuge in Yingchuan are optimistic about Yuan Shao and are willing to work under Yuan Shao, how should this be?"

"Yuan Shao is immoral and incompetent, and he will definitely be defeated by Cao Cao one day. Among the Xun family, except for Youruo, I don't understand what he did, the rest are all idle people, but it's a pity that my Xun family is now withering. As for the other Yingchuan clans, how they behave has nothing to do with us. After arranging the clansmen, I will go to Dongjun to serve Cao Cao, and if you have a heart, you will go with me. ”

"Yes, Uncle Clan!"
