Three groups of people came to remind themselves that in addition to Xu Chu's 'flattered', he was also a little secretly happy. Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan don't need to say more, Cao Cao and Bao Xin's move may become potential allies in the future. In addition, Cao Cao and Bao Xin's courtesy to him also indicates that he has finally gradually stepped onto the big stage of the late Han Dynasty and become one of the heroes who are expected to compete in the Central Plains.

After staying for a morning, at noon, I heard that Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao and others had returned from the palace, and with it, there were two important news. First of all, the news related to Dong Zhuo, according to the report of Wu Qiong's subordinates, early this morning, more than 1,000 people under Dong Zhuo's command entered Luoyang from the west of the city, which is one of them; Second, Dong Zhuo occupied the palace province, but did not live in the palace, but stayed in Xianyang Garden.

The second news is that Yuan Kui expressed that Ding Yuan, the commander of Wu Mengdu, was the ruling Jinwu, and the edict had been officially issued, but Dong Zhuo did not stop it.

Two news, one happy and one worried, the worry is greater than the joy.

Yuan Shao's mood must be very bad, overnight, Dong Zhuo actually had another thousand people, and Ding Yuan's side, how he would react is still between the two.

But how Dong Zhuo is, what about Ding Yuan, doesn't seem to be so important to Xu Chu.

The reason for Xu Chu's sudden change in mind was that Xu Yu suggested to Yuan Shao that Xu Chu be transferred out of Yingchuan County and transferred to a certain county in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and even Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

When Xu You said these words to Yuan Shao, there was another person beside Yuan Shao - He Hao.

He Hao listened, didn't say anything at the time, and when he went out, he quietly found Xu Chu and told Xu Chu about it. This matter is very strange, why did Xu You suggest that Yuan Shao let Xu Chu stay away from Yingchuan, and why did he choose He Hao, who had some friendship with Xu Chu, to say this in the presence of Xu Chu.

You must know that He Hao once praised Xu Chu for employing people 'eclectic', at that time, a celebrity like He Hao would not casually praise others. He Hao praised Xu Chu, obviously He Hao, as the pioneer of 'eliminating eunuchs', admired Xu Chu's extermination of the Zhang Rang clan, and also had the intention of befriending a local hero like Xu Chu, who was not very powerful, but had a certain reputation.

Xu Chu learned about Xu You's suggestion from He Hao, and he couldn't wait to pick up a knife and cut Xu You.

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and I was worried about what would happen, and what really happened.

Discussed with Xi Zhong, but Xi Zhong couldn't figure out Xu You's thoughts. Although it is impossible to know for sure, it is still fairly easy for Xi Zhong to come up with a few guesses.

Xi Zhong's guess is: The first possibility is that Xu You feels that there are many suspicious places in Xu Chu. Xu Chu is a martial artist, and he had almost nothing to do with Yuan Shao's group before, Luoyang was shocked, Xu Chu came to Kyoto, and everything he did could be 'pleasing to Yuan Shao'. Besides, Xu Chu himself also has this in mind. The second possibility is that this matter was completely discussed by Yuan Shao and Xu You from beginning to end to test Xu Chu. This explains why He Hao was very coincidentally present at that time, the purpose was to convey the news through He Hao's mouth, and then wait and see Xu Chu's reaction. If Xu Chu is really as he behaves, he is 'thinking for the country', 'worrying about the world', and 'being angry for Dong Zhuo', then he should obey Yuan Shao's arrangement.

In the end, Xi Zhong said that the biggest possibility is both.

Xu Chu had to re-examine the Xu Ziyuan who offered a strange strategy to 'sneak attack the black nest', and then died because of his words. No matter what kind of guess is correct, Xu Yu's resourcefulness and speculation on people's hearts can be regarded as very powerful.

Closing his eyes and thinking hard about the life of Xu You he knew, Xu Chu had a flash of inspiration, and remembered the reason why Xu You later betrayed Yuan and Tou Cao.

Without him, when Yuan and Cao Xiang were holding the official crossing, Xu You's family, who was in the rear, was convicted of breaking the law, and in a fit of anger, they took refuge in Cao Cao. The reason why Xu You's family was convicted is also very simple - greed for money.

Although he knew Xu Yu's breakthrough, it was difficult to act on it. Xu You does regard money as his life, but in this critical period, it is difficult to say whether he dares to accept bribes; Moreover, even if he takes a step back, Xu You is willing to collect money to do things, but this matter is important, Xu You's appetite must be very big, Xu Chu entered Luoyang with more than a thousand parts, where to find money and bribes?

If it is in Yingchuan, the treasure copied from Zhang Zhi and Huang Guan is full of color, and it will definitely satisfy Xu Yu's greed. Xu Chu thought about it, and still thought that at this time, don't use your brains, Xu You's greed for money may be able to be used in the future, so it's better not to mention it for now.

When he was muttering in his heart, he suddenly heard Xi Zhong say: "Lord, our foundation is still shallow, if we are transferred out of Yingchuan again, many of our previous plans will be in vain, which is really unfavorable...... However, if Yuan Sili is a teacher for his own use, there seems to be no good way. ”

Transferred out of Yingchuan, it is difficult to say whether he can continue to be a Taishou in the first place. Xu Chu knew that the whole process of becoming a Taishou was criticized by the world, which also caused some people to be disgusted with him, such as Zhao Qian at the beginning, and then Qiao Mao. These people around Yuan Shao also have some complaints about this. In addition to being able to empathize with Cao Cao, who is known as 'after the emasculation', even Bao Xin and He Hao, who have a good relationship, may not be able to understand Xu Chu's pain.

Xu Chu once heard a saying - wait for others to understand you, then you have already lost.

Xu Chu decided to go to Cao Cao.

Among the people in Luoyang City, there is probably only Cao Cao who is willing to help him.

Cao Cao is not difficult to find, and when he casually grabbed a subordinate and asked, he learned that Cao Cao was staying in the Taifu Mansion.

When Xu Chu came to him, Cao Cao had already gotten up, and in the face of such an 'unborn' hero as Cao Cao, Xu Chu got straight to the point, and almost relayed He Hao's original words.

Cao Cao's brows tightened, this matter is difficult to do. He is very clear about Xu You's weight in Yuan Shao's mind, since Xu You arrived in Beijing, Yuan Shaofan encountered something difficult to judge, the first thing he asked Xu You first, and after discussing with Xu You, he would talk to Cao Cao and He Hao.

"Zhong Kang might as well say what he wants? Although he is not talented, he may be one or two of the king's schemes. "Cao Cao is very generous," Yingchuan County, with Xu Ziyuan's words in front, plus the neighboring Sizhou, or it has become a certainty. ”

Xu Chu sighed, planning is in the sky, before entering Beijing, he never thought that he would lose the position of Yingchuan Taishou. On reflection, it makes sense. Yingchuan is a key county, and from the geographical point of view, it is very close to Luoyang. If Xu Chu had not diverted to Chenliu, he would have gone directly west out of Yangcheng, passed through Yuyuan Pass, and then passed through Guishi County and Yanshi County, and it would not take long to reach Luoyang; Judging from the situation in the county, Yingchuan Wang clan is lined up, Yingyin Xun clan, Changshe Zhong clan, Xu County Chen clan, Yang Zhai Guo, Xin Er clan, are all well-known families in the sea, Yuan Shaoruo in the future, Xu Chu is indeed not the best choice for the people who sit in Yingchuan, and the celebrities who are close to the Yuan family in Beijing are like carp across the river, and they are easier to get the support of the family than Xu Chu.

When Xu Chu sighed, Cao Cao also mentioned this meaning, so Xu Chu woke up - this Yingchuan Taishou still sat down to the end. Thinking about He Yi and Huang Shaobing's murderous company, he was the first to stand up and solve Yang Zhai's worries and behead He Yi; Later, he recruited Gan Ning, a hero of Shu County, and leveled Huang Shao. At this time today, the bird hid four words in his bow, and it should have been on his head first.

"Brother Meng De, he is not greedy for power, he really has no military and political power, and it is difficult to do his best for the court and the world."

Cao Cao looked at you very well and said, "Even if you don't have Yingchuan, you can also ask for another beautiful county." But ......"

"But what?"

"Zhong Kang can go to Gao Yuan to talk about his original intention again, so it is more successful."

Xu Chu bowed. Cao Cao's willingness to act for Xu Chu is indeed a great kindness, and if the senior cadres agree, even if Yingchuan is difficult to protect after all, it is a good result to go elsewhere for a Taishou.

Da En did not say thank you, Xu Chu said goodbye to Cao Cao, and went to find Gao Gan again.

Gao Gan, as Yuan Shao's henchman and assistant, was mostly done by him during the extraordinary period. Therefore, Xu Chu went to the high cadre house three times before seeing him.

Like meeting Cao Cao, Xu Chu still expressed his intention straightforwardly. Gao Gan didn't seem surprised that he knew something inside. He smiled and said, "Zhong Kang doesn't have to think about it, Si Li's side, I will say a few kind words for you." ”

Xu Chu's heart was a little wider, and he listened to Gao Gan again: "Have you been to Cao Mengde?" ”

"I've been there."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Gao Gan suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Xu Chu's shoulder, "Zhongkang, keep in mind Si Li's kindness to you, work hard, and support Si Li in other counties." ”

...... Back in the house, Xi Zhong asked eagerly, "Lord, how are things going?" ”

Xu Chu said with a slight bitterness: "Cao Mengde and Gao Yuancai are willing to speak for me." This matter should be thrilling, but just listening to the tone of the two, Yingchuan can't go back. ”

Xi Zhong groaned: "If you don't go back to Yingchuan, it's okay, in Yanling County, you can leave Zhang Feng, Pang Zhan and other lords and officials, and over there in Yu County, you can also show a person who is 'in charge of everything' to stay, or be a county lieutenant, or a county prince, so that the lord will not lose all the money when he goes to other counties." ”

"It's a pity that the county is in the tuntian." Xu Chu said regretfully. Yingchuan County has been transformed by Zaoyi, Xu Shu and others, and things such as displaced people and barren fields should have obvious changes, and it is not surprising that Yingchuan will usher in a very good year next year. It's just that Xu Chu has no blessings to accept, and he makes wedding clothes for others.

Xi Zhong said with a smile: "The lord doesn't have to suffer from gains and losses, and if he loses his horse, he will not know if he is blessed." He dipped his hand in some water, drew a few random dots on the case, and said: "Yuzhou is here, Yanzhou is here, Jizhou is here, Xuzhou and Yangzhou are here....... Looking at the states west of Luoyang, I thought that the two counties of Yangzhou Jiujiang and Lujiang, the two counties of Guangling and Langya in Xuzhou, the Taishan County of Yanzhou, the plain county of Qingzhou, and the country of Jinan were most likely to be the next foothold of the lord. ”

Xu Chu stared at a few points painted by Xi Zhong for a long time, and it was also thanks to the fact that he had made up for the map of the world at that time when he was in Yanling, so he could understand where the places that Xi Zhong said.

The seven counties and countries mentioned by Xi Zhong all have one characteristic - they are far away from Luoyang. In particular, Pingyuan County and Jinan Kingdom, which belong to the Qingzhou Thorn History Department, are almost close to the Bohai Sea.

There are generally two reasons why Xi Zhong thinks that Xu Chu will be sent to a county far away from Luoyang. One reason is that Yuan Shao doesn't want Xu Chu to be too close to Luoyang, Yuan Shao's consideration should be that Xu Chu is not famous enough, nor strong enough, and it is a waste to give Xu Chu a county too close to Kyoto, so it is better to leave it to other people around him. Another reason came from Dong Zhuo's side, Dong Zhuo didn't want to get too close to Luoyang with Xu Chu of Yuan Shao's 'Qingqing and I'.

The details of each Xu Chu and Xi Zhong were only heard about later. Because after Xu Chu and Dong Zhuo met at the foot of the mountain that day, Xu Rong, the lieutenant general of Dong Zhuo's army, once said to Dong Zhuo: "Although there are only 100 people around this son, they are well-equipped and well-trained, and all of them are warriors with more than one enemy; The generals under his command are unknown, but they can fight with Hu Wencai without falling behind. In addition, he dared to openly disobey the general when his troops were far inferior to the general, which shows that his heart is not small and he needs to guard against it. ”

Xu Rong is the only one of Dong Zhuo's five senior generals who is not from the Liangzhou camp, which shows Dong Zhuo's trust in Xu Rong's ability. Xu Rong solemnly suggested that Dong Zhuo should guard against Xu Chu, and Dong Zhuo naturally acted as good as a stream and put Xu Chu's name on the blacklist.
