All the princes discussed Xi Zhong's plan, and discussed all kinds of possibilities before dispersing.

That night, after Cao Cao returned to the camp, he was deeply impressed by Xi Zhong, and when everyone was at a loss, Xi Zhong could immediately give a strategy, which really made Cao Cao's eyes hot!

Just when Cao Cao was thinking about this, Cheng Yu walked into the big tent: "Lord, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Zhongde, today in the Allied camp, this drama really surprised me, this talent is definitely not low, but such a talented person actually assists Zhong Xuan!"

Cao Cao said unconfidently! But he mainly wants to plot and plan for himself!

"Does the lord mean that he wants to put Zhicai under his command? If the lord doesn't look for me today, I will also come to the lord to discuss the matter of talent! Cheng Yu said.

"Oh, what does Zhongde have to say to so-and-so?" Cao Cao said in surprise!

"Lord, in fact, Yu Ben and Yuan Chang still have ambitions to know each other, when they were in the academy, I and Yuan Chang were classmates.

It was only later that most of the Western Regions escorted Liu Bei to visit the academy, and then Gongda, Zhicai and Yuan Chang went with Liu Bei and assisted Liu Bei.

I was also surprised when I saw Yuan Chang leading troops to resist Dong Zhuo's tyranny a few days ago, but because the Yuan Chang camp was too far away from the main camp, I didn't visit Yuan Chang. ”

"Oh, Zhongde and Yuan Chang and Zhi are classmates? Wouldn't that be an opportunity to persuade the two of them to join me on my behalf? Cao Cao said with a happy face!

"The lord only knows one and doesn't know the other, Yuan Chang and Zhi went with Liu Bei before!" Cheng Yu reminded again!

"What, you're saying that Zhong Xuan and Xi Zhong should be Liu Bei's advisers now?" Cao Cao was struck by lightning!

"Lord, but I can't say that, I haven't seen Yuan Chang and Zhicai for more than ten years, and Gongda doesn't know where he is at this time, I also tell the lord the doubts in my heart."

Cheng Yu opened his mouth to explain to Cao Cao, but when Cao Cao heard this, he nodded again and again:

"Indeed, if you really follow Liu Bei, Liu Bei shouldn't take them to the Western Regions, even if you want to find a place, you won't be so far away from the Western Regions, think about what happened in the future."

"I think so too, but everything hasn't been confirmed, so I can't be sure!"

"In this case, Zhongde, you will first visit Xizhong to see how the situation is, and then I will discuss countermeasures!" Cao Cao suggested!

……………

Subsequently, Cheng Yu went to Zhong Xuan's camp overnight.

And Zhong Xuan and Xi Zhicai were drinking tea in the camp at this time, since Xi Zhicai's health improved, he quit his love of wine, but fell in love with drinking tea, and Liu Bei has always given good tea to his subordinates, so they are not short of tea.

"Zhicai, today you are a little flamboyant in the Allied camp, although most of them don't know the details of our waiting, but Zhongde knows, aren't you afraid of his suspicion?"

Zhong Xuan took a sip of tea, and then spoke!

"Hey, I also know, but Zhong sees that Li Ru is so arrogant today, but he is also quite unaccustomed to it, plus if I can contain most of Dong Zhuo's troops, then it will be more appropriate for the lord to act to save him!"

Xi Zhicai also said with an embarrassed face.

"At this point, there is no other way, but Zhongde will inevitably come to ask me, how should I answer when the time comes?"

Zhong Miao said helplessly, and if Liu Bei knew about this situation, he would definitely regret letting Zhong Miao and Xi Zhong lead the troops to respond to Cao Cao.

"This matter is easy, if Zhongde comes, you will say, at the beginning, we and Gongda found the lord, and then debated with the lord, and finally Gongda followed the lord.

And you and I traveled to Luoyang, and you were fortunate to be recommended by Duke Lu and Huangfu, so you started from the small county order of Huiji County, and became a Taishou for ten years. Xi Zhong smiled and said.

"But if Zhongde asks me if there is a buyer, how should I answer?" Zhong Xuan was also quite honest and said with a lot of embarrassment.

"This matter is simple, you just say you bought it, after all, the previous party was in charge, and if you don't buy an official, you can't do the position of a county guard!" Xi Zhong said again!

While the two were discussing, the soldiers outside the door came to report that a person claiming to be a friend of Zhong Xuan and Xi Zhong came to visit. Then Zhong Miao invited him in.

"Yuan Chang, Zhicai, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I never thought that I could meet you and you here today." As soon as Cheng Yu entered the camp, he said excitedly!

"That's true, I haven't seen each other for almost eleven or twelve years, Zhongde, I'm here today, let's have a good chat, and besides, I'll make an exception and have a drink with you."

Xi Zhicai also said happily, and at the same time asked the soldiers to prepare some food and good wine! When the food and drinks came up, the three of them chatted while eating!

"Yuan Chang, I remember that back then, you and Gongda went out together to chase Liu Bei, but now why don't you see Gongda alone?" Cheng Yu asked.

Then, Zhong Xuan informed Cheng Yu of the remarks that Xi Zhicai had informed, and Cheng Yu was quite disappointed when he heard that Gongda recognized Liu Bei.

And hearing that Zhong Xuan and Xi Zhong did not recognize Liu Bei, Cheng Yu was still quite excited, maybe he would be able to be a minister in the same hall in the future!

"In that case, why is Zhicai still white?" Cheng Yu asked again.

"Zhongde, I'm not unaware, people are lazy, and they want to live chic, so Yuan Chang is an official, and I just follow Yuan Chang to eat!" Xi Zhong smiled and said.

"Isn't this a waste of Zhicai's full economy?" Cheng Yu said again.

"Full of money? Isn't Zhongde also full of wealth, and he has also lived in seclusion for more than ten years, and only today did he go out of the mountain to help Cao Cao? Xi Zhicai said.

"Indeed, before, Yu did not see the appearance of the master of the world, but now, when I have to see the lord of my family, I know that the person who clears the universe and recovers the society must be my master!" Cheng Yu said proudly.

"Cao Cao is indeed a hero, and I also respect Peier!" Zhong Xuan also nodded and said!

"In this way, Yuan Chang and Zhicai, why don't you join me to assist my lord, he will be defeated in the future, and we can also be together. Not the two of you, my lord Cao Cao has admired the two for a long time! Cheng Yu said!

"Cao Gong is indeed a rare male lord, but I don't know what Zhongde thinks Cao Gong's current position is like compared to my Zhong Xuan?" Zhong Xuan asked!

"My lord is not as good as Yuan Chang, Yuan Chang is a county guard, a side for the Son of Heaven to hunt, and my lord is only for the military attache of the Xiaoqi Captain canonized by Emperor Han Ling!" Cheng Yu blushed and said.

"Have you ever heard that people with high positions think that people with low positions are the main ones?" Zhong Xuan asked again!

"Yuan Chang, why not? Thinking that there are only a dozen members of the ministers and good generals under my lord's command, although they are getting a place at the moment, Chen Liu is the foundation of the Cao family. Cheng Yu quibbled.

"Even if Chen Liu is the foundation of Cao Gong, how can I not compare with Cao Gong, there are also several good generals under Cao, and the mountains in Huiji County have been known to me, it is a good foundation, how can Cao Gong recruit me?" Zhong Xuan smiled and said sleepily.

"Okay, let's not talk about Yuan Chang's affairs for the time being, Zhicai, you don't recognize Yuan Chang as the master, I don't know if you can assist Cao Gong with me?"

Cheng Yuzhi couldn't tell Zhong Xuan for the time being, so he turned his attention to Xi Zhong!

"Zhongde, Zhong also wants to assist Cao Gong with you, but Cao Gong is not my master, Zhongde, I will ask you a few questions!" Xi Zhong said with a smile.

"What?" Cheng Yu felt a headache.

"How about Gong Cao protecting Duke Liu compared to most of the capital of the Western Regions?"

"This, this, although Cao Gong's foundation is not as big as Liu Bei, and his official position is not as big as Liu Bei, his art of war and resourcefulness are stronger than Liu Bei." Cheng Yu thought for a while and said.

"Oh, the art of war? At the beginning of the battle against the Yellow Turban of Guangzong, who defeated the stronger army more than ten times stronger with weak soldiers? At that time, Liu Gong and Cao Gong were the same generals, right? Xi Zhong asked again!

"Even so, Liu Duhu was trapped in the Western Regions, and now although he has Liangzhou, if the Son of Heaven decrees, Liu Duhu still has to return to the Western Regions, if so, how can Liu Duhu still have development at all?"

"Indeed, Liu Gong stayed away from the Central Plains first, and the reason why I asked you like this is to inform Zhongde that I didn't even follow Liu Gong at the beginning, so how could I follow Cao Gong, who is not as good as Liu Gong at present."

"What Zhicai means is that when Cao Gong's power surpasses Liu Bei, Zhicai will go out of the mountain to give advice to Cao Gong?" Cheng Yu said a little excitedly!

"Zhongde, today we are friends gathering, the director is drinking, if he can win against Liu Gong in the future, I will talk about it later!" Zhong Xuan came out to fork the road.

After that, the three of them drank until dawn, and then Cheng Yu returned to Cao Cao's camp quite satisfied.

Cao Cao waited all night in the camp, and learned from Cheng Yu early the next morning that he would not go out of the mountain until Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei, so he immediately added Liu Bei to the list of competitors!
