Xu Chu finished reading the letter and placed it on the desk, his eyebrows twisted together. Seeing this, everyone asked, and Xu Chufang replied: "Yuan Benchu was listed as the Taishou of Bohai, and Xun Wenruo and Xun Youruo were already on the way to Jizhou. ”

Xu Shu listened, just like Xu Chu's thoughts, and said: Xun family has been crowned for generations, what a nobleman, the lord showed favor a lot when he was in Yingchuan, but the children of the clan such as Xun Chen, Xun Yan, Xun Yue, etc., are not used by the lord. Yuan Benchu failed to fight with Dong Zhuo, as soon as he arrived in Bohai County, Jizhou, Xun Yu and Xun Chen traveled thousands of miles to defect, and Yuan's strength was really incapable of competing with him in the world. It is no wonder that the lord was puzzled and distressed after reading the letter.

After thinking for a while, Xu Shu was about to speak, but was robbed by a person and said: "Yuan Benchu was sent to Bohai County, and Dong Thief has a good calculation!" ”

It was Simbi who spoke. Xin Bi, like Xu Shu, was also surprised by this, but his surprise was not in the matter of Xun Yu and Xun Chen's defection to Yuan Shao, but the fact that Yuan Shao was expressed as the Taishou of Bohai. In Xin Bi's opinion, it is natural for the children of the Xun family to defect to Yuan Shao, and if it is not bad, his brother Xin Ping is likely to be on the way to Jizhou at this time.

Xu Chu expressed his opinion on Yuan Shao's being expressed as the Taishou of Bohai, and said: "What George said is good, this must be because Dong Thief was afraid of Ben Chu Gong, and he was sent to Bohai County. This move is similar to the previous Zhang Mengzhuo being worshiped as Chen Liutaishou. "As the name suggests, Bohai County is adjacent to the Bohai Sea and very far away from Luoyang. Zhang Miao didn't know the soldiers, so Dong Zhuo sent Zhang Miao to Chen, who was very close to Luoyang, as a guard; Yuan Shao's name moved the world, so Dong Zhuo sent Yuan Shao to Bohai County, which is adjacent to the sea, as a guard. I have to admit that these two measures are both wonderful for Dong Zhuo.

A few days later, Cao Cao's letter also arrived.

Yuan Shao left Beijing, Xun Yu abandoned his official position, but Cao Cao stayed in Luoyang for a while. Xu Chu secretly speculated about Cao Cao's intentions and came to a conclusion: At this time, Cao Mengde and Xun Yu had already embarked on two completely different paths. Xun Yu decisively abandoned the official because of Dong Zhuo's arrogance, hoping to assist a 'Ming Lord' who was enough to compete with Dong Zhuo to help the Han Dynasty, he chose Yuan Shao; Cao Cao also wanted to help the Han Dynasty, but Cao Cao knew Yuan Shao better than Xun Yu, and thought that Yuan Shao was most likely not enough to be called a 'male master', so he stayed in Beijing, generally to wait and see the situation, contact his clansmen, old friends, and friends, and secretly expand his contacts.

Cao Cao wanted to do it himself. The letter he wrote also shows this very well, the beginning of the letter talks about the recent new movements of the imperial court, but the back is all about Xu Chu's 'heart-to-heart' words.

Let's talk about the new moves of the imperial court first: Han Fu was listed as Jizhou Mu, Liu Dai was listed as Yanzhou Assassin, and Kong Ling was listed as Yuzhou Assassin. The governors of Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou have been settled, and the doorways among them can also be spied with Xu Chu's current vision and understanding of his previous life.

Cao Cao's letter said that these three appointments were issued before Yuan Shao fled the capital, that is, the appointments of the governors of the three prefectures were still in the battle of wits and courage between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo.

"Han Wenjie is a protégé of the Yuan family, and Ben Chugong was shown as the Bohai Taishou after he served as the pastor of Jizhou, I really don't know what Dong Thief thinks." Simbi said contemptuously. Because he has long wanted to defect to Yuan Shao, Xin Bi is more familiar with the Yuan family, Han Fu is a protégé of the Yuan family, and he served as the imperial historian before Jizhou Mu, and has always been the only Taifu Yuan Kui. According to the dignity and humility of the late Han Dynasty, the so-called protégé can actually be regarded as Han Fu 'selling' himself to the Yuan family, and the relationship between the two is that the Yuan family is Han Fu's parent, and Han Fu is the descendant of the Yuan family. Dong Zhuo first worshiped Han Fu as the pastor of Jizhou, and then worshiped Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Bohai, thinking about it with common sense, didn't Jizhou become Yuan Shao's? Looking at it this way, this is indeed a move that can be called a 'stupid move'.

However, Xu Chu's view was diametrically opposed to Xinbi's, and Xu Chu sighed: "When I was in Luoyang, I heard the name of the Hanwen Festival. Han Wenjie is a celebrity, but his strength does not seem to be large, in my opinion, Dong Zhuo has a wise man by his side! ”

Xin Bi was surprised: "Fu Jun...... What do you say? ”

Xu Chu pretended to sigh, and then said: "Please think about it, Han Wenjie was originally a vassal of the Yuan family, after this change, it suddenly surpassed Yuan Benchu, and the status of the two was turned upside down, would there be no idea?" Moreover, if I am unfortunate enough to say that Han Wenjie is a person with a small amount of energy, and Bohai County is under the control of Jizhou Pastor, Yuan Benchu is bound and difficult to perform. As for the wise man beside Dong Zhuo, Xu Chu didn't say anything, because he was still not sure whether the person who gave Dong Zhuo the idea was Li Ru or Jia Xu. Just like inducing Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan, this strategy is directly aimed at the hearts of the people, Xu Chu stood in the perspective of the traverser, and deeply felt the sophistication and viciousness of the strategists around Dong Zhuo.

After hearing this, Xin Bi wanted to refute, but one was not good to do with Xu Chu, and the other was that he couldn't find an angle to refute for a while, so he sat down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Chu smiled slightly, talking about the new Yanzhou and Yuzhou assassins, Liu Dai is a member of the Han family, a celebrity, Kong Ling is also a celebrity, plus a Zhang Miao, three famous men who do not know soldiers are in important positions, not so much that Dong Zhuo is to please the scholar clan to have this appointment, it is better to say that Dong Zhuo is better than Yuan Shao, as much as possible to compromise while reducing the hidden dangers in the future.

The people in the house have heard of Kong Ling and Liu Dai, and after Xu Chuyi's analysis, he thinks that Kong Ling and Liu Dai can at least become a help in the confrontation.

In addition to the appointment of the three governors, the next is a series of Taishou and state ministers, among which Yuan Shao, Bao Xin, and Wang Kuang are three scholars who fled, Yuan Shao does not need to say much, Wang Kuang was listed to Hanoi as Taishou, and Bao Xin was listed as the minister of state in Jibei. The rest of the great Confucian Kong Rong, who is a descendant of Confucius, was listed as the Beihai Taishou, the Yingchuan celebrity Zhang Shi was listed as the Nanyang Taishou, and the university scholar and Runan celebrity Ying Shao was listed as the Taishan Taishou.

Finally, I have to mention Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was worshiped by Dong Zhuo as a general, because he was afraid to escape from Luoyang, and went to Nanyang.

Because Cao Cao was in Beijing, the content of the letter was more detailed than what Xun Yu said, and Xu Chuyou felt that the day of the crusade against Dong Zhuo was imminent.

The second half of the letter is Cao Cao's 'intimate words' to Xu Chu, including several key points, the first is that Cao Cao hopes that Xu Chu can adapt to the situation, and when 'that day' comes, he must not be afraid; the second is that Cao Cao said that he did not want to stay in Luoyang anymore, and wrote that he would leave for Peiguo on the same day, which implied that he would go to the clan to do ideological work and pre-war preparations with his brothers such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan, and when the time was ripe, he would go east with Xu Chu; Last but not least, Cao Cao mentioned the matter of 'initiating volunteers', and earnestly hoped that Xu Chu would join him in proposing the slogan of leading troops to 'crusade against national thieves'.

Xu Chu didn't know what to do. Cao Cao is heroic and heroic, daring to be the first in the world, and proposing 'crusade against the national thief Dong Zhuo', this is not a trivial matter, if you do a good job, you can win a great reputation, and if you don't do it well, you will face Dong Zhuo's revenge, and invite yourself to play this banner together, Xu Chu is very flattered, and at the same time in a dilemma. It's not that Xu Chu was afraid of Dong Zhuo's revenge, the real difficulty was that he hadn't figured out where he would attack Luoyang after he sent troops to Lujiang County.

There are too many options to choose from, as well as possible changes, without consulting Guo Jia, Xi Zhong and others, Xu Chu did not dare to make a decision easily, if he agreed to Cao Cao to raise volunteers now, for this 'world first', then he had to take Cao Cao as his most staunch ally. From now on, how to enter the army is not something that Xu Chu can make unilaterally decided.

There is also a careful thought hidden in Xu Chu's heart: he is afraid of fighting with Cao Cao, and in the end it will become a situation where Cao Cao is the main and he is the auxiliary, because Cao Cao is one level higher than Xu Chu in terms of fame and family background.

Because of this, what Cao Cao said to Xu Chu in the end, Xu Chu didn't say it to others, not even to Xu Shu. After pressing the matter for the time being, Xu Chu rushed back to Shu County non-stop, and the sense of urgency made Xu Chu talk a lot less along the way.

After arriving in Shu County, he went to the county government without even entering the door to find Guo Jia and Xi Zhong.
