Yuan Yun walked out of Cao Ang's mansion, and Xu You, who had been half-asleep in the study before, followed him without speaking, and sat in the frame of Yuan's mansion with a butt, and then opened the secret compartment very skillfully, and immediately tasted it with a smile after finding a pot of wine.

Yuan Yun then entered the carriage, glanced at Xu You, who was leisurely and complacent, and could only smile helplessly, and said: "Mr. Ziyuan has a big appetite, and he took away the huge beggar gang intelligence network from me in one sentence." ”

Xu You laughed, carefully poured out two drops of wine from the wine jug, and then wiped his mouth and said: "The beggar gang used to give Yuan Hou a great help, but now it is the disadvantage of tying Yuan Hou's hands and feet, the prince is now like a hegemon, in addition to our old ministers, the staff around him has also joined a lot of rising stars, these people are all quick successes, as long as they can climb up, there will be no hesitation to do things that hurt others behind their backs, so the old man is removing trouble for Yuan Hou." ”

Yuan Yun naturally knew this truth, so he shook his head, took out a plate of beef jerky and put it in front of Xu You, and then said: "More Mr. Ziyuan has thought about it for me, the beggar gang has become a business like this, and there will indeed be a lot less trouble in the future, but Mr. Ziyuan wants to contact them, or I want to introduce some people to you." ”

Xu You waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the commander is still Yuan Hou, the old man just collects more news and intelligence from the beggar gang, so that even if the beggar gang has been subdued in the official face, everyone can explain it." ”

Yuan Yun continued to shake his head and said: "Since it has been said that the beggar gang will be placed in the open, this matter must be implemented, otherwise this kind of yin and yang will make the prince suspicious, Mr. Ziyuan will be idle tomorrow It is better to come to my house to sit down, I will introduce the leader of the beggar gang to you to know, and you will contact him in the future, I believe it will be more secure." ”

Xu You nodded, and could only agree with what Yuan Yun said, now that the shogunate of Luoyang Cao Ang is very large, and the rules have gradually been established, there will naturally be fewer private feelings involved in this, and everyone will have a standard that can be followed, which is definitely a good thing, so it must go on, I believe that all the old ministers are very clear.

After thinking about these things clearly, Xu You didn't dwell on this issue, but changed the conversation and said: "Your general Zhao Yun heard that he was in the limelight when he fought in Xiliang, if he leads the army to crusade against Jingzhou this time, it is better to introduce him into the army of Luoyang, and it is best to become a general, so that Yuan Hou can have more arms to rely on, and Yuan Hou must not be sloppy in this matter."

There are also Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang in your mansion, it is best to find an official position for them in Luoyang, so that the foundation of your Yuan Mansion is solid, and these staff members of yours are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, as long as they enter the system, they will definitely have something to do. ”

When Yuan Yun heard Xu You say this, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, so he asked, "Why does Mr. Ziyuan think about me like this?" ”

Xu You smiled, and immediately pointed to himself: "The old man came to Luoyang to enter the shogunate of Cao Ang's prince because of Yuan Hou's introduction, and when the elite soldiers in Luoyang were exhausted the year before, the old man also went to the north with Yuan Hou, not Xiliang with the prince, so in the eyes of many people, the old man is still with Yuan Hou all the way, this is already a fact that cannot be shaken off, so if Yuan Hou can soar, the old man will naturally soar, if Yuan Hou has no choice, I am afraid that the old man will also be unlucky." ”

Yuan Yun thought about it carefully, as Xu You said, although there is no obvious faction in Luoyang today, but those people are close, those people are far away, and there is basically a division, and Xu You's intention now is very obvious, that is, to climb the big tree of the Yuan family.

Xu You saw that Yuan Yun's expression was already acceptable, and his mood suddenly improved, so he groped in his arms with a smile, and then handed over a letter to Yuan Yun.

Yuan Yun unfolded a look, it was Yangzhou's spy report, which detailed the actions of Yan Baihu and some other Shanyue, the recent Sun family seems to have been ruthless, and began to annihilate these unstable 7 factors one by one, Yan Baihu still retreated to the junction of Xuzhou, even so his strength was also greatly hit, Sun Ce personally led the troops to start encirclement and suppression this time.

With Sun Ce's existence like a god of war, Shanyue naturally can't please anything, and now several Shanyue strengths have almost been wiped out, not only that, but Sun Ce has also obtained a large amount of Shanyue's assets, and this amount of money is really not a small number.

The important thing is that Sun Ce has completely cleaned up the backyard this time, and Jingzhou is no longer a threat, so he can finally face Cao Cao in the north, and now his subordinates have a group of 400,000 troops who have experienced hundreds of battles, and the existence of such strength has also made the Sun family swell up unprecedentedly.

Returning the spy report to Xu You, Yuan Yun was silent for a moment before asking, "What news has come back from Yecheng?" ”

Xu You asked suspiciously: "I don't know what Yuan Hou is asking?" ”

Yuan Yun was silent for a moment, and then asked with certainty: "Is Cao Sikong ready for the southern expedition?" ”

Xu You thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Although the text has not been released yet, but judging from all kinds of signs, Cao Sikong is probably ready for the southern expedition, and now it is the time of summer farming in various places, and this time in the past is generally a good day to start the project, but now all the facilities have been stopped in various places, and the personnel have been moved together for training, and even the construction of the palace in Yecheng has been stopped, which is enough to show that Cao Sikong is going to the north." ”

Yuan Yun shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It seems that after a while, we will call Cao Sikong the prime minister." ”

Xu You was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "My dynasty abolished the prime minister system very early, how can it be ...... now?"

In general, Xu You already laughed, now that the kings with different surnames have been divided, it is not a big deal to restore the prime minister system, so thinking that if Cao Cao becomes the prime minister, I am afraid that the local opposition forces will become even more crazy.

Yuan Yun was just staring out of the car window at the moment, and suddenly muttered: "It's really a mountain rain that is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, the short peace has finally come to an end, and it is estimated that this conquest of the south, our Luoyang will inevitably be all transferred." ”

Xu You recited the sentence 'The mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings' again, and he smiled in an instant, and said: "It's good to come earlier, so that the peace in the world will come sooner, the days of war are too long." ”

The frame returned all the way back to Yuan's mansion, Xu You did not choose to go to the mansion to have dinner, but got off the car halfway, Yuan Yun knew that he was now in charge of intelligence work, and he must have a lot of official work to do, so he didn't stop it, and finally returned to the house by himself.

After entering his study, he quickly recruited Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Zhao Yun to come, and informed Cao Ang of his preparation to send troops to Jingzhou.

"Kong Ming and Shi Yuan are still just my staff now, so many things are inconvenient, it is better to officially join the official system in Luoyang, so it will be easier." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he began to get busy in the sandbox in the study, while Zhao Yun was doing it.

When Zhuge Liang heard Yuan Yun say this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said: "Now that Cao Ang's staff has matured, is the lord worried that he will be negatively excluded, so he plans to install us in the officialdom of Luoyang?" ”

Yuan Yun naturally had no reservations about Zhuge Liang, so he affirmed: "Now Luoyang is not like it was at the beginning, and many things are no longer something I can do casually, many of them have to be applied for first, and they will be approved after passing the layers of assessments, so you have entered the system, and it will be more convenient for me to do what I want to do in the future."

In addition, you are only a staff member under me, and you really can't show your greatness, so I consider sending you to a bigger position to develop. ”

Pang Tong snorted and continued: "We really need to go to serve in the shogunate of Cao Ang Shizi this morning, so that many things can be mastered as soon as possible, which is also a lot more justifiable, and it will not leave people with criticism, and the lord will arrange it as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Yun replied with a smile: "Shiyuan, I plan to send you to the Luoyang Gunpowder Army, you are already familiar with it, and the position of the military advisor sacrificial wine Cao Ang Shizi has also been reserved for you very early, this is naturally simple."

As for Brother Kong Ming, the prince hopes that you can take over the post of Gongcao in Luoyang, so that there should be a place for you to show your talents in internal affairs, and there is Zilong, now since the prince has asked you to lead troops to help Cao Hong in Wancheng, then he will give you the title of general. ”

Zhao Yun shrugged his shoulders, and then said with a smile: "It is my wish to be able to lead the troops into battle, and it doesn't matter what kind of general is sealed, so the lord just looks at the arrangement." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't speak all the time, and then suddenly interjected: "The lord has arranged like this for a long time for the stability of the Yuan Mansion in the future, hasn't the lord considered something else?" ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "What else can I consider besides this?" ”

Zhuge Liang finally put away the smile on his face, then looked at Pang Tong and Zhao Yun beside him, and said in a low voice this time: "Self-reliance." ”

Yuan Yun chuckled in his heart, and was silent for a moment before solemnly replied: "I have never considered this issue, so Kong Ming must not mention it again in the future, my idea is just to hope that the world will be stable as soon as possible, so that the Quartet will sing and dance and become prosperous, which is my ideal." ”

Zhuge Liang still didn't have any smile on his face, and continued: "Self-reliance does not mean rebellion, if the lord feels that the pressure in Luoyang is too great, it is better to go elsewhere and set up a city on his own, wouldn't it be better?"

Cao Ang is like the overlord of one side, once this position sits on, it will begin to have a great desire for power, and once the south is pacified, he will become the lord of the world sooner or later, at that time in the face of power, people's hearts will be unpredictable, the lord might as well take advantage of the present to go away and fly high, as long as we do not set up a military army in the place where we operate in the future, I believe that I can be worry-free. ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched slightly, will it become like this in the future, in fact, he guessed a little bit a long time ago, Cao Ang is already so powerful now, and it will definitely be more powerful in the future, plus with the expansion of Luoyang, there are more and more staff members around Cao Ang, some of whom don't even know him Yuan Yun, thinking about the changes in the future is really unpredictable.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Yun still shook his head and said, "Do the current things well first, and as for what happens in the future, it's not too late for us to think about it then." ”

After saying this, Yuan Yun ended the topic, and then began to fiddle with the topographic map of Jingzhou on the sandbox, Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, but began to analyze it for Zhao Yun with Pang Tong.
