Just when Liu Yu was brazenly making an excuse for himself, Sima Yi took Liu Yu's warrant and came to Chen Gong.

"Hanoi Sima Yi?" Chen Gong looked at the young man in front of him suspiciously, Liu Yu was stunned, this was the first time that Liu Yu had sent someone to Chen Gong's side. Chen Gong thought to himself what the origin of this Sima Yi was.

Sima Yi stood aside respectfully, waiting for Chen Gong's arrangement.

Chen Gong transferred Sima Yi's information, and after reading it, the light in his eyes kept flashing. This information was obtained from the investigation of the "Dark Department", and even Sima Yi wrote about any special circumstances when he was a child.

Chen Gong sighed that Sima Yi was simply a talent, and he found the treasure this time.

"Zhongda, yes. In the future, you will follow the official to handle political affairs. Let's be a military officer first. Chen Gong had a smile on his face, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

The Military Aircraft Department is respected by the Minister of Military Aircraft, and the next is the assistant director of the Military Aircraft, and the Military Aircraft Officer is to handle all kinds of miscellaneous matters for the officials at the upper two levels. To put it simply, it is a miscellaneous work in the military aircraft department, and the level is very low. Don't look at the low level, I don't know how many ministers have hollowed out their hearts and minds to send their children in.

"Thank you, sir!" Sima Yi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Cui Jun, who was beside Chen Gong, looked at Sima Yi in a daze, there are few people who can make Chen Gong have such a demeanor. Cui Jun felt that this person was not simple from the first feeling.

"This is Cui Jun Cui Zhouping, how many years older than you, you will do things together in the future, you have to get close." Chen Gong pointed to Cui Jun beside him and said.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhou Ping, please give me more advice in the future." Sima Yi said respectfully.

Sima Yi is also good at looking at people, and from Cui Jun's temperament, it can be concluded that this person is talented and learned.

Zhong Da was polite. Take care of me in the future. Cui Jun replied.

Chen Gong pointed to a seat next to him and said, "Zhongda, you can work in this position in the future." If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask the officer. ”

"Yes, sir." Sima Yi quickly stepped into the role, sat in his position and began to work.

Chen Gong looked at Sima Yi and nodded, and also began to bury his head in work.

Sima Yi began to work in an orderly manner, and everything he did was seen by Chen Gong one by one. Chen Gong could see from these that Sima Yi was definitely a manufacturable material, and he was thinking of finding an opportunity to pull Sima Yi over to his side.

Liu Yu's big move also alarmed Shouchun's Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has always felt that Liu Yu is stupid, and he doesn't need so many talents from the family, but he constantly ignores the existence of the family.

Cao Cao also admired Liu Yu a little, without the help of the family, it was a miracle that Liu Yu could come to this point.

Cao Cao himself came from a large family and had a fundamental understanding of his nature. Therefore, most of the important ministers under Cao Cao are from poor families, which is very similar to Liu Yu. But Cao Cao is different from Liu Yu, at least there are many families who support him, and the Xun family is the one who helps the most. Xun Yu and Xun You, the two most outstanding talents of the Xun family, joined Cao Cao's shogunate.

But now Liu Yu doesn't continue to be stupid, he changed his previous contempt for the family, and actually recruited a large number of children of the family in Yingchuan, and got the support of the Yingchuan family. Even the Xun family, who supported him the most, threw himself into Liu Yu's arms, which made Cao Cao highly nervous.

Cao Cao called Xun Yu and Xun You over, he was not worried that Xun Yu and Xun You would be separated from morality because of the matter of the Xun family's throw in Liu Yu. Cao Cao is very relieved of Xun Yu and Xun You's loyalty, and he is also full of confidence in his personal charm.

"Liu Yu's recent big move has a great impact, Gu must deal with it, Wen Ruo and Gongda have a strategy?" Cao Cao didn't ask them about the Xun family, but asked them about it.

This is a reflection of Cao Cao's trust in them.

Xun Yu and Xun You's two uncles and nephews were quite moved.

Xun Yu thought for a while and said, "Lord, it is inevitable that Liu Yu will make this move. If Liu Yu doesn't do this, then his hegemony will come to an end. ”

Cao Cao agreed with Xun Yu's statement, Yingchuan is definitely a big piece of fat in terms of talent supply, and it is strange that Liu Yu does not eat it. It's just that this piece of fat was taken from Cao Cao's mouth, which made Cao Cao very unwilling.

"Liu Mu'er is too deceitful!" Cao Cao scolded.

"Dumb" was Liu Yu's nickname when he was ridiculed inside and outside the palace, and Cao Cao is now scolding him, but imagine how angry he is.

"The lord doesn't have to scruple, the essence of Yingchuan is in the hands of the lord, and Liu Yu can recruit some talents such as county guards at most, and the Yingchuan family does not recognize Liu Yu. In addition, Liu Yu is only recruiting Yingchuan scholars, so the other families in his territory will definitely have complaints. Liu Yu was jealous of the people of the family, so he only sent some officials to the territory. Xun Yu continued.

Being said by Xun Yu, Cao Cao's heart settled down a lot. Top talents in Yingchuan such as Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia all joined his shogunate, and their loyalty was commendable.

At this time, the guard outside the door reported that Sima Lang had asked to see him.

Cao Cao didn't know what Sima Lang was doing here, so he must have something important, and said, "Let him come in!" ”

Sima Lang came to Cao Cao with a frightened face and pleaded guilty: "Lord, come down to plead guilty!" According to the letter from home, my second brother threw himself into Liu Yu! ”

Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Xun You were stunned when they heard this, Sima Lang's second brother? Sima Lang has so many younger brothers, and the three of them really can't recognize them all.

"What's the specifics?" Xun You asked.

Sima Lang slowly conquest of Liu Yu and Sima Yi, Sima Yi pretended to be crazy and stupid and refused to go, and then Liu Yu ordered Dian Wei to lead troops to surround Sima's house, and also beat Sima Yi who pretended to be crazy and sold stupid. Sima Yi finally reluctantly went to meet Liu Yu.

Xun Yu smiled bitterly, why hasn't Liu Yu's style changed? It's also the same routine to deal with the Xun family, but fortunately, Xun Chen is clever enough and didn't get caught by the tail, otherwise he might have to be beaten. Sima Yi's living example is in front of me.

Cao Cao didn't care about the whole process, he cared about Sima Yi and asked, "Boda, how is Zhongda's talent?" ”

Cao Cao thought about how much talent Sima Yi had, and whether it would have an impact on him.

Sima Lang was embarrassed, Sima Yi's talent was much stronger than his own, if he was to tell the truth, with Cao Cao's character, he might send someone to do Sima Yi. Don't tell the truth, Cao Cao's people don't eat dry rice, so they can still be found out. With Sima Yi's talent and learning, he will definitely shine under Liu Yu in the end, and it will be difficult for him to do it at that time.

"Zhongda's talent is the first of my brothers." Sima Lang finally told the truth, but it was relatively tactful.

Cao Cao and the others were silent on the surface, but their hearts were tumbling. They all know Sima Lang's talents, although they are not as good as the three of them, they can be regarded as superior in wisdom among Cao Jun. Sima Yi is better than his brother, isn't that not much different from the three of them.

Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, Sima Lang said anxiously: "Lord Mingjian, my Sima family is vain to Liu Yu, and the second brother is helpless to enter Liu Yu's command. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a while and said, "Boda doesn't need to say much. What Sima Yi wants to do has nothing to do with you, this point is clear. Lone trusts in your loyalty. ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Sima Lang said movingly.

Although Cao Cao was treacherous, he believed in his subordinates. Employing people without suspicion and suspicion is Cao Cao's way of employing people.

There was nothing else, so Cao Cao let Sima Lang go down.

After Sima Lang left, Cao Cao said: "I didn't expect that Sima's family still has a unicorn." ”

"My lord, if Sima Yi is really talented and learned, I am afraid that it will be a big trouble for our army when he grows up in the future." Xun You said worriedly.

Xun Yu said with a solemn face: "The enemy becoming strong is the biggest disadvantage to our army. Lord, it's better to prevent trouble than to prevent it! ”

Xun Yu meant to kill Sima Yi.

"Liu Yu has always been shameless, but he pays attention to talents, Sima Yi must have real talent and real learning, so Liu Yu tried his best to collect it. If you don't get rid of this son now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be good in the future. Xun Yu echoed.

Cao Cao understood the concerns of the two of them, he was not the kind of soft-hearted person, and he would never hesitate when it was time to make a move.

"It's a matter of its own." Cao Cao said coldly.

This kind of shady thing Cao Cao will not let Xun Yu and Xun You come into contact, Xun Yu and Xun You also know that they will not say more about this matter.

Cao Cao returned to the topic and said: "Liu Yu will transfer the children of Yingchuan to the north, what are the differences here?" ”

Xun Yu's eyesight is extremely strong, and he analyzed: "After Liu Yu became emperor, his henchmen were divided into several major factions like Yuan Shao. The simple region is divided into Hebei faction, Guanzhong faction and descendant faction. Among them, the most powerful is the Hebei scholars, they huddle together to keep warm, excluding other people in the world, Liu Yu is doing this to weaken the internal hidden dangers, to achieve a balance. This is a kind of imperial mind. ”

"I didn't expect Liu Yu to really have a way, and he thought of the internal hidden dangers so quickly." Cao Cao smiled.

Xun You, who is known as the "mastermind" of Cao Cao's army, said: "If there are factions, there will be contradictions, and this may be an opportunity for our army!" ”

"The plan will be released!" Cao Cao believed in Xun You's ability.

"My lord, among the several factions under Liu Yu's command, Guanzhong is the weakest, and they are not treated by Liu Yu. Its representatives, Ma Chao and Jia Xu, are both extremely ambitious. If the lord gives enough benefits on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he may be able to get unexpected gains! Xun You said.

"Gongda, although Ma Chao is quite ambitious, his younger sister is married to Liu Yu's eldest son, and Ma Teng is hostage in Luoyang, no matter how bold Ma Chao is, he will have scruples." Xun Yu did not agree with his nephew's opinion.

Xun You didn't think so, and continued: "Xiliang Ma Chao is a fierce general, from the observation of this period of time, this person is a brave and unscrupulous person, if it weren't for the help of Jia Xu, a wise man by his side, he would have been wiped out by General Yuan Rang in Yanzhou." Whether Ma Chao will be used by me or not, I won't mention it for the time being. Why didn't our army make good use of this opportunity? Even if Ma Chao has a resolute attitude, it can make Liu Yu suspect Ma Chao, which is also a great benefit to our army. ”

Cao Cao smiled again and again, took over the conversation, and said: "You don't need a single soldier to separate Liu Yu and Ma Chao, why not do it." Not only Ma Chao, but even other opportunities to get away with it. ”

"The lord is wise!" Xun You arched his hand and said.

Xun Yu doesn't like this kind of conspiracy, but he approves of everything that is beneficial to Cao Cao. Cao Cao wanted to do this, and Xun Yu would not object.

"You can arrange this matter." Since it was Xun You who proposed it, Cao Cao let him be responsible.

"My subordinates understand!" Xun Yu took over the task.

Cao Cao remembered another thing and asked, "What is the recent situation of the Son of Heaven?" The Queen's due date is almost here. ”

This was asked to Xun Yu, because Xun Yu was also in charge of various matters in the palace.

Xun Yu replied: "Your Majesty has nothing special recently, just more time to practice martial arts with Wang Yue and Shi A." According to the imperial doctor, the queen's due date is approaching. I guess it's a prince. ”

The reason why Liu Xie practiced martial arts, Cao Cao knew, in order to be able to have the ability to protect himself. Cao Cao was not bad to Liu Xie and did not interfere too much.

"The bloodline of the Son of Heaven cannot be ignored, and we must be cautious. Pay special attention to Concubine Dong Guifei, and never make any mistakes. If you are not careful, people's hearts will be confused! Cao Cao attaches great importance to Liu Xie's unborn child, and especially advises not to make mistakes.

If Liu Xie's child is gone before birth, then the blow to Liu Xie and Cao Cao will be huge, and Liu Yu will definitely use public opinion to influence the people in Cao Cao's territory, which is not conducive to Cao Cao's rule.

"I understand below." Xun Yu, who was very loyal to the Han family, naturally knew the importance of this matter.

"The ministers of the DPRK and China should also pay attention at all times. These wallgrasses are notoriously restless. If clues are found, they will be arrested and severely punished. Cao Cao remembered the ministers of the court who did not deal with him.

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't let these people make trouble." Xun Yu knew the virtues of those ministers, and he would not let these people delay Cao Cao's big event. If these people are obsessed, don't blame him for being ruthless.

"Without further ado, let's both go and get busy. The state affairs are difficult, and I ask the two of you to bother a lot. Cao Cao said sincerely.

Cao Cao's words flattered Xun Yu and Xun You, and hurriedly said: "The subordinates also have to share the worries of the prime minister!" ”

Cao Cao rubbed his forehead a few times, and waved his hand to let Xun Yu and Xun Yu leave. There have been too many things recently, and Cao Cao's body is a little overwhelmed.

Xun Yu and Xun You understood what Cao Cao meant, and immediately left Cao's mansion.

After Xun Yu and Xun Yu left, Cao Cao calmed down alone for a while.

"Liu Yu, I am afraid that you and my brother will never be able to go back to when they were in Luoyang." Cao Cao sighed.

To be honest, if Cao Cao hadn't been for the ambition in his heart, he wouldn't have been an enemy of Liu Yu. As the situation developed, the situation became beyond the control of Liu Yu and Cao Cao, and one of the two of them always fell.

Cao Cao rubbed his faintly aching forehead a few times, this headache could torture him badly.

After relieving himself for a while, Cao Cao said to the guards outside: "Go and call Cheng Zhongde!" ”
