In late December, near the end of the year, Dian Wei, Xiahou Yuan and others finally transported the stolen grain back to Taishan County in batches, and Cao Cao also ate the stolen grain during the New Year.

With this batch of stolen grain, it is enough for Cao Cao's side to last until next year's harvest of grain.

"Alas! Wen Ruo, I now understand how difficult it is to conquer the world. Cao Cao sighed in the mansion, his mood was a little complicated, and said to Xun Yu, who was sitting opposite him.

"The lord doesn't have to be upset, those who achieve great things don't stick to small sections. The necessary conditions for seizing the world are nothing more than three things, virtuous and fierce generals, food and soldiers, and the hearts of the people, all three are indispensable. ”

Xun Yu's face was calm, he knew that they only needed to develop steadily now, because Chen Liujun had been transformed by Xun Yu into a solid foundation, and it was absolutely a dead end for ordinary troops to attack, even if it was useless to pile up human lives.

Xun Yu is not only proficient in strategy and government affairs, but he has also studied the technique and developed two new types of defense towers, which make Chen Liujun not afraid of external threats at all.

"Yes! I still have a chance, it's just a little slower. Unlike the Yuan family, they already have enough foundation to support their actions. But I Cao Mengde asked myself, I am not weaker than anyone else. ”

Cao Cao nodded, did not continue to mourn, and instantly regained his fighting spirit, he would only show these in front of Xun Yu, and in front of other subordinates, he was generally a decisive and calm lord image.

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu don't have to worry, sooner or later they will be defeated, what I am most worried about is that the mysterious person hidden in Yingchuan Yangzhai will make a move, this person is proficient in Taoism, Qimen, the art of war, scriptures, and divination. He learned to be rich and had a big mind, but he retreated to the mountains and forests and had no quarrel with the world. ”

Xun Yu, who has always been extremely confident, had a worried look on his face for the first time, which showed that the person he was talking about was terrifying.

"Wen Ruo, can I go and recruit that person?"

Cao Cao is a little eager to try, and he is also extremely eager for talents.

"I don't even know his name, and I don't think he's going to accept anyone's solicitation. But I'm afraid that he will meddle in this troubled world, the most important thing is the Yuan family, whether it is Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao, their power is very strong, once this person intervenes, the general trend of the pattern will change dramatically. ”

Xun Yu said worriedly, and then talked about his first meeting with the mysterious man, which was when he was traveling far away, he met next to a thatched hut in the mountains, the man was dressed as a gray-clothed fisherman, and looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.

The two felt like they were at home, but Xun Yu still didn't know the person's surname.

The two talked about the general trend of the world, and exchanged cultivation experiences, Xun Yu found that the realm of the mysterious person was actually above him, you must know that he Xun Yu was already a mage of the Nine Bridges of the Divine Journey Realm, and if he went further, he himself did not figure out how to break through, but that person had already opened the way.

Xun Yu thinks about it now, and faintly feels that the mysterious person is waiting for him to pass by, so he can't help but think about it a little carefully, so Xun Yu doesn't want to admit it, but that person gives him the feeling that he is like a conspirator, hiding behind the scenes, and taking the world as a chess player, he is the chess player.

"The world is so big, there are so many strange people, why should Wen Ruo be humble? I look at the world, and no one can compare to Wen Ruo. ”

After Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's story, he laughed loudly and signaled Xun Yu not to think too much, anyway, it was just a soldier to block it, and the water to cover it.

Xun Yu smiled and didn't speak, the gloom in his eyes lingered.

And the middle-aged fisherman in Xun Yu's mouth was fishing in a small stream in Yangzhai at this time, he always looked calm, caught more than 20 small fish, and then carried the water cage back to his thatched house.

"Taishan County is developing so fast, it's really beyond my expectations, I don't know where this Li Que River came from, and my divination skills can't count this person."

The middle-aged fisherman walking on the road couldn't help but think for a moment, and found that he should have missed the existence of an unborn wizard.

"It seems that I have to write a letter to Yuan Shu, this world will be more chaotic, it is better to have a situation of the Great War between the North and the South, in this context, the person who can still unify the world is the real monarch. In this way, we can resist those forces outside the territory, otherwise we will just be reduced to fish on the chopping block. ”

The middle-aged fisherman sat in a thatched hut, drank a few mouthfuls of gruel, held a small fish in his mouth, took pen and ink, and wrote while eating.

Of course, Li Chuan on the side of Taishan County didn't know what all this was happening, but he heard that there was a 'grain thief' in Yuzhou, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao did it, that's all.

He is now walking on the road, planning to talk to Li Ru and Jia Xu and do the ideological work of these two bigwigs.

The three of them sat in the living room and chatted about Yongzhou for a while, Li Chuan mainly wanted to ask if it was possible to subdue Dong Zhuo's old generals, but both of them said that it was impossible, because they knew that those people would never let go once they gained power.

"Why did you think of asking me to join him, you should know how much trouble he will be if his identity is revealed, I don't like to put my life in the hands of others." Jia Xu frowned slightly, and said lightly, "I'm insecure and a little afraid of death. ”

"How much trouble? It's just Dong Zhuo's old department, what's the big problem? If some people can't get used to it, let them go! Don't come to our Taishan, and in my opinion, most of the virtuous people are inferior to the two. ”

Li Chuan said with a relaxed face, there is no pressure at all, Li Ru and Jia Xu's ability can support the top batch, which is much better than asking for a group of ordinary talents.

"I might as well tell you, if the general trend of the world allows, we Taishan plan to take the road of fighting the world alone, provided that we have to develop rapidly, so if you join, please show your true skills."

Li Chuan looked at these two people with burning eyes, he knew that these two people did not really want to join Liu Bei's camp yet, and they were still in the investigation period.

"Is Xuan Degong's heart big enough?" Li You opened his eyes and asked slowly.

"Expand the territory and fight until death." Li Chuan replied simply.

"But he came from a humble background, he didn't really enjoy the glory and wealth, and the erosive life of the dog and the horse, which is enough to corrode a person's enterprising spirit, Xiliang Dong Zhongying was also very good at the beginning, and he also had the style of a heroic monarch, what is the result?" Jia Xu waved his hand and said with some concern.

Li Chuan smiled, signaled the two elder brothers not to worry, and explained, "Xuande Gong's goal is to surpass the ancestors, and it is a comprehensive transcendence, if he really falls one day, then you can leave, but if today, is there a suitable person for you to serve?" ”
