It has been several days since Xun Chen came to Yecheng.

He did not go directly to see Cao Cao, but sent someone to hand over the name to Xun.

Knowing that his brother was coming, Xun personally greeted him at the door of his house.

Seeing Xun Chen from a distance, Xun bowed and saluted: "The fourth brother is here." ”

"Wen Ruo!" Xun Chen arched his hand and asked with a smile, "How are you doing lately?" ”

"Thanks to the blessing of the fourth brother, everything is fine." Xun Hui said.

He then asked Xun Chen, "I heard earlier that the fourth brother followed Yuan Tan, why did he go to the eldest son?" ”

"Actually, I have already served the eldest son." Xun Chen said: "It was the eldest son who asked me to help Yuan Tan recruit Yuan Shang's remnants. ”

"What is the intention of the eldest son to do this?" Xun asked.

"Still don't understand the intention?" Xun Chen said with a smile: "If Yuan Tan doesn't have many soldiers and horses, how dare he be an enemy of the Cao family." If he didn't strike first, how could the Cao family find an excuse to destroy him. ”

"It turns out that the eldest son has expected this a long time ago." Xun said: "No wonder Cao Gong often says that the Cao family has an eldest son, and he has a lot of worries. ”

"Cao Gong is worry-free, but the eldest son has been very worried recently." Xun Chen sighed.

"How?" Xun asked in surprise: "What else can bother the eldest son?" ”

"When I came to Yecheng, I wasn't even allowed to enter the door, just talking here?" Xun Chen didn't answer, but asked Xun a question.

Xun came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, and let go to the side and said to Xun Chen: "Fourth brother, please come into the house and talk." ”

Accompanied by Xun into the courtyard, Xun Chen looked around and said, "This should have been Feng Ji's residence." ”

"Exactly." Xun replied: "Captured Yecheng, Duke Cao gave me this mansion. ”

"Feng Ji is a person that Yuan Shao relies on very much." Xun Chen said: "Gong Cao gave his house to Wen Ruo, which shows that he values you very much. ”

"There are many talented people around Cao Gong, I just met him earlier." Xun said: "When I got this house, I always felt uneasy. ”

"Since Cao Gong values you, you can accept it calmly." Xun Chen said: "There is nothing to worry about. ”

"Just now the fourth brother said that the eldest son has been upset recently, what is he bothered about?" Xun asked.

"What else could there be." Xun Chen sighed and said: "The eldest son got Qingzhou, but now he has to always be on guard against the hostility from the north, do you think you will be upset." ”

"North?" Xun asked, "Is the fourth brother talking about Liaodong or Wuhuan?" ”

"There are both Liaodong and Wuhuan." Xun Chen said: "Wuhuan and the Yuan family have always been good friends, and Wen Ruo also knows that if Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi can't hold Youzhou, they will definitely go to Liaodong for help." The Wuhuan army is all cavalry, and it is very troublesome for our army to deal with it. ”

"The Hun army is also cavalry, and the eldest son is not very handy in dealing with it?" Xun waved his hand and said, "This matter is definitely not worth worrying about the eldest son. ”

"It's easy to deal with, but what if you don't?" Xun Chen asked.

Xun was stunned when asked, and he asked Xun Chen: "What does the fourth brother mean......"

"It's not what I mean, it's what the eldest son means." Xun Chen said: "The eldest son originally planned to occupy Liaodong, but Liaodong is subordinate to Youzhou. Just getting one Liaodong is not enough to deal with the entire north. ”

"Does the eldest son want Youzhou?" Xun Chen hadn't figured out his intentions yet, Xun had already asked.

"Exactly." Xun Chen said: "As long as you get Youzhou, the eldest prince can deploy soldiers and horses to resist the alien races in the north......"

"Who gave this idea to the eldest son?" Xun asked.

"Not me, anyway." Xun Chen pursed his lips: "I was just ordered to come to ask to see Cao Gong, since I was ordered to come, of course it is best to persuade Cao Gong." ”

"Whoever gave the eldest son such an idea should be killed quickly!" Xun said: "The eldest son doesn't want to think about it, Youzhou and Liaodong are connected. Once the eldest son gets Youzhou, the entire Central Plains will be surrounded by his forces. Although they are all soldiers of the Cao family, how many soldiers under the command of the eldest son are willing to obey the deployment of Cao Gong? ”

"What Wen Ruo means is that the eldest son still dares to be unfavorable to Cao Gong?" Xun Chen asked.

"Not really." Xun replied: "It's just what Gong Cao thinks, the eldest son had better take care of it." ”

"I don't understand Wen Ruo's words." Xun Chen asked, "Isn't the eldest son the son of Duke Cao?" ”

"What did the fourth brother say?" Xun hurriedly said: "Of course the eldest son is the son of Duke Cao?" ”

"Since he is the son of Cao Gong, has he trespassed in the past?" Xun Chen asked again.

"Nope." Xun replied: "The eldest son has always been respectful and reasonable, and he has never trespassed. ”

"So the eldest son is incompetent?" Xun Chen said: "Duke Cao thinks that letting him command too many soldiers and horses is not good for the Cao family? ”

"How is that possible!" Xun replied: "In recent years, the eldest son has never lost in the southern and northern wars, who dares to say that he is incompetent? ”

"I guess it's not a few things, so I don't understand." Xun Chen said: "Since the eldest son is the son of Cao Gong, and he puts filial piety first, not to mention that he has a good way to lead the army, and he has not been defeated until now, what is the big deal about Cao Gong giving him a Youzhou?" ”

"The fourth brother still doesn't know Cao Gong." Xun said: "Cao Gong has always done things safely, and he will not let anyone be stronger than his own. The eldest son has already had the strength to compete with the entire Cao family in the past few years? ”

"If Wen Ruo said this, his heart should be punished!" Xun Chen's face turned cold: "The eldest son's battle flag also has the word 'Cao' written on it. What does it mean that his strength can already compete with the entire Cao family? Could it be that the eldest son's command belongs to the Cao family? ”

"The fourth brother is just messing around." Xun said annoyedly.

"It's not that I'm messing around, it's that Wen Ruo has too many loopholes in his speech." Xun Chen said: "I came this time just to let you recommend me and meet Cao Gong privately. ”

"You are just a staff member of the eldest son, how can you meet Cao Gong privately?" Xun said: "The fourth brother can't do such an arrogant thing. ”

"In terms of dignity and humility, I can't meet Cao Gong in private, but when it comes to the importance of things, I have to meet in private!" Xun Chen asked, "Do you help or not?" ”

"If I help, if the fourth brother provokes Cao Gong, who will be responsible?" Xun waved his hand and said, "It's not proper, it's inappropriate......"

"Definitely won't anger Cao Gong." Xun Chen said: "Not only will it not provoke, but it will also make Cao Gong feel big." ”

"Are the fourth brothers sure they won't anger Cao Gong?" Xun asked uncertainly.

"Take my head as a guarantee." Xun Chen patted his chest and said. 2k reading web
