Chapter 936: Xun Yu's Heart
"This is for the sake of the overall situation, and I hope Uncle Yu is not strange." It is said that although Xun Yu is much older than Xun Yu, Xun Yu is his uncle in terms of generation. The people of the family have strict rules, so Xun Yu has always respected Xun Yu. Of course, more importantly, Xun Yu is talented, and even Xun Yu, who is already very good, is willing to bow down. And the Xun family also sees Xun Yu as the hope of revitalizing the family.
It's just that Xun Yu and some of the elders of the Xun clan are quite worried that Xun Yu has always had the heart to support the Han family. Over the years, Cao Cao's attitude towards the Han family has faintly changed, and everyone has speculated about it, but one thing is for sure, Cao Cao's attitude has become tougher, and sometimes he even dares to use the current pawn as a chess piece.
And the most worrying point of Xun Yu and the elders of the Xun clan is that Xun Yu does not know the current affairs, so he has a conflict with Cao Cao, and in the end he will not only fall out of favor, but also cause trouble to the entire Xun clan.
Therefore, in order to express Xun's loyalty, Xun Yu had to do something that made Xun Yu very disgusted. For example, at present, Xun Yu arranged for the eagle to monitor the Chinese military of the DPRK, which can be described as a disobedient move, which made Xun Yu, who was still loyal to the Han family, very angry!
"Lord!! At present, many loyal people in the world have a heart of resistance to the lord and duke, but if the Chinese military actions of the DPRK are monitored and the news leaks, they will definitely be made a fuss by the people, let alone punish those!! Xun Yu's words were not finished, suddenly Cao Cao's expression changed, his eyes narrowed, and two terrifying rays of light shot out in an instant, and in an instant Xun Yu only felt that he was under Cao Cao's eyelids, and there was nothing to hide, or Xun Yu really had other thoughts, so he didn't dare to look at Cao Cao, and the words stopped abruptly.
"Wen Ruo..." Suddenly, Cao Cao shouted. Xun Yu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly replied: "Yu is here." ”
"Over the years, you have done your best for my Cao family, and you have also worked hard for the imperial court, and you have made a lot of achievements. But this person can't use two things, otherwise he will not only be exhausted in the end, but will not please both sides. Do you understand what Cao meant? ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, these simple and clear words made all the generals at the military level instantly realize, and they all took a cool breath. Xun Yu frowned, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Lord! ”
As soon as Xun You's words fell, Jia Xu also walked out quickly, shouting: "Lord! ”
"Lord~!" Soon, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Man Chong and other strategists also walked out, bowed down and shouted in unison.
These erudite and talented masterminds only call the lord and don't say anything else, but they are obviously interceding for Xun Yu. Cao Cao slowly withdrew his gaze at this time, but his eyes were closed. And in this period of dead silence, Xun Yu's heart is like stagnant water, he is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of being ruined, but over the years, he has become more and more afraid of one thing.
That is, as Cao Cao's power became larger and larger, his power and status became more and more solid. Cao Cao will gradually become rebellious, and even want to replace the Han family!
"As I said, judging by your achievements over the years, you should have been promoted a long time ago, but I was confused and didn't make arrangements for a while. I think the position of a waiter is quite suitable for you. What do you think? ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it exploded in everyone's hearts in an instant. Xun Yu's complexion changed sharply, and he couldn't help but stumble a few steps. But fortunately, Xun Yu was prepared, quickly caught up and supported, and said in a very low voice behind Xun Yu's ear: "If uncle doesn't want the Xun family to face a catastrophe, the lord is determined to be the enemy of the Han family, and ask uncle to take over this position, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
Why did Xun You say this?
Originally from the Qin Dynasty, Shizhong was the prime minister's 'history', after Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, his status gradually increased, and his rank surpassed that of Shilang. And now that Cao Cao is the prime minister, he made Xun Yu a servant, not only treating Xun Yu as a confidant, but also continuing to choose to favor him while Xun Yu seems to have a different heart, which shows how much Cao Cao values him!
But Xun Yu lowered his head at this time and didn't dare to speak, Xun Yu grabbed Xun Yu's arm tightly from behind, and didn't dare to make a sound at this time. And everyone also held their breath and focused their eyes on Xun Yu's body.
In the end, Xun Yu silently let out a light sigh, and then bowed to Cao Cao obediently: "Your Majesty is fortunate to be so favored by the lord, and the great kindness and virtue cannot be repaid, and I will work hard to fulfill my duties and live up to the high expectations of the lord." ”
Xun Yu was promoted but did not see the slightest joy, and his soft sigh, no matter who could hear it, he was not really willing to take over this important position.
"Hahahaha~~!! Good~!!! I knew Wen Ruo wouldn't disappoint me!! When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud after shooting out two rays of light in a flash. In this regard, many soldiers who were worried were also happy at this time, after all, Xun Yu was full of talents, known as 'Wang Zuozhicai', he has made countless meritorious contributions since he joined the Cao family, and he can even say without hesitation that the Cao family can have such a grand momentum like tea and fire today, and Xun Yu is absolutely inseparable. Xun Yu can continue to be reused by Cao Cao, and everyone's hearts are like a rock, which is undoubtedly great news!
However, soon Cao Cao's words changed, and he threw out a bombshell news that made everyone's faces change greatly: "After Wen Ruo is appointed as a servant, he will have a heavier responsibility on his shoulders in the future, and in my opinion, everyone should also share some of it for him." Why don't you take over the important position of leading the military division for the time being, what do you think? ”
But listening to Cao Cao said it was like discussing with everyone, but listening to his tone was unquestionable. Everyone changed color, but this time they set their eyes on Jia Xu. It is said that Cao Cao had already had the idea of establishing Jia Xu as a military advisor, because although Xun Yu has an overall view beyond ordinary people, he is more suitable to sit in the rear, strategize and plan the layout. However, before the debate, Jia Xu's ability was slightly better than Xun Yu's, of course, if the comprehensive ability of the two is compared, it is really difficult to choose between the superior and inferior. But if you say who is more suitable to serve as a military advisor, Cao Cao thinks that Jia Xu is a better candidate in Cao Cao's heart. Xun Yu also had the same opinion on this point, and once wanted to give up his position as a military advisor to Jia Xu.
And this time, Jia Xu did not refuse as before, or the time had come, his face was solemn, and he said: "Xu will fulfill his duties and serve his life!" Live up to the high expectations of the lord! ”
As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, he was officially converted from deputy to regular, and Cao Cao finally had a happy mood today, and he couldn't help but laugh again and again, and his Jia Xu's words of 'dedication to duty and death' made Cao Cao extremely pleased to hear.
"Humph! A villain who can only pat on the back! Compared with the gloomy Jia Xu, Xiahoudun prefers Xun Yu, who has an upright style, and when he sees it now, he can't help muttering secretly, and at the same time he feels quite unwilling for Xun Yu.
And since Cao Cao made Jia Xu a military advisor, Xun Yu has not said a word, he knows that although Cao Cao moved him to serve this time, in fact, he is rising and descending secretly, and he who has lost the title of military advisor is afraid that it will be difficult for him to be reused before Cao Cao has restored his confidence.
Xun Yu also understood that Cao Cao's move was undoubtedly demonstrating to him, and told him that if he Cao Mengde could give him a qiē, he would be able to take away his qiē!
It's just that Cao Cao's methods this time can be regarded as soft, Xun Yu knows that Cao Cao is a rare peerless hero, if he is replaced by someone else, even if it is his henchman, he will have already been stripped of his important position, and then dealt with secretly. And although he Xun Yu lost his position as a military advisor, he was at least promoted as compensation.
But even so, why does he still feel depressed and unmotivated? Thinking of this, Xun Yu felt sad in his heart, and immediately returned to his seat with Xun You and Jia Xu under Cao Cao's slightly cold order.
At this time, everyone had not yet recovered from the shock of Xun Yu's change in position, which also had to be said that Cao Cao was too fast, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, looking at Cao Cao's eyes, they were a little more timid than before.
"Haha, the war can't be raised now, so before the battle, the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the situation. I was the prime minister at the beginning, this condemnation is so powerful, if it is not suppressed, sooner or later it will become a hidden danger, I will leave this matter to you to arrange, how to deal with it, you can decide for yourself, and you can tell me the result after the fact. Cao Cao smiled brightly and instructed Xun You. Xun Yu bowed his head and led it with a solemn face.
At this time, Cao Ren, who was sitting in the chief of the military generals, finally opened his mouth and said: "Although stabilizing the situation is the most important thing at the moment, the last general thinks that it is as important to stick to the foundation and protect the frontier. According to the last general, Hedong since Miaocai's injury has not healed during this period, there are many thieves on Fengbo Mountain in Hedong, the thief Shou Chen has recruited people with lofty ideals over the years, and the thieves have tens of thousands, among which there are thousands of elite soldiers who are Bai Yu's elite soldiers, very brave, during this period, Le Wenqian has led troops to fight several times, but he can't beat him. Moreover, this Chen Zhi was originally the general of the Ma Zongheng, and more of the elites under his command were the old Ma clan who had not had time to withdraw from Hedong back then. Miaocai admired him a lot, and he refused several invitations, fearing that he was still loyal to the Ma family. I am afraid that once our army starts a war against Ma in the future, this person will attack in Hedong, which is really a hidden danger that should not be underestimated! ”
As soon as Cao Ren's words came out, the generals immediately became lively, and all the soldiers rose up in a hurry, and they asked for their lives, and they all wanted to lead troops to Hedong to help in the war. After all, these generals are all warlike people, and this peaceful day can make them sick. Among them, Xiahou Yuan had already intended to go to Hedong to visit Xiahou Yuan, cheering quite loudly, and staring at the terrifying one-eyed, as if whoever dared to compete with him, he would not let anyone go. And the generals also knew the affection of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, so they did not go to rob Xiahoudun.
"Haha, it turns out that Yuan Rang has this decision, and it doesn't hurt to let you go to Hedong. But I also heard that although Chen Zhi is young, he is quite talented in commanding troops, and his white Yu elite soldiers are the essence of his painstaking training, it is said that over the years, he and these white Yu elite soldiers have slept and eaten together almost every day, and the relationship is very deep, so that even if the military department encounters difficulties, they can work together, as solid as a rock, and it is not as easy to deal with as you imagined. You lead the Iron Blood Army this time, learn the skills of others, of course, if you can capture that Chen for me, it will be a great achievement, and I will reward it heavily! ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Xiahoudun couldn't help but get excited, his eyes were shining, and he immediately took his life. Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he ordered Xiahoudun to lead 3,000 iron-blooded troops to go there on the same day. Xiahoudun was extremely excited, and his deputy general looked at each other, and after Yu Ban hurriedly went out to worship, the two of them retreated first and went to prepare.
