The day after Chen Gong departed, when Cao Cao summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter, he specially invited Ma Xiaoquan to be an observer.

Because Ma Xiaoquan had already said that he would not participate in Cao Cao's deployment deliberations, Ma Xiaoquan did not say a word during the entire deliberations.

After the discussion, Cao Cao asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Lord Shangxian, I'm okay, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said, "Yes, but, Xiao Cao, this immortal thinks you have to start preparing to take over Yanzhou!" ”

Cao Cao was puzzled, and Ma Xiaoquan explained: "Chen Gong's trip will definitely be successful, and Xiao Cao, you still have a big lack of preparation!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan paused for a moment and continued: "First of all, all parts of Yanzhou are frightened to support themselves one by one because of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, Xiao Cao, after you enter Yanzhou, what should you do?" Secondly, Yanzhou is not a rich land, if Xiao Cao takes over Yanzhou, how will you govern it? Third, when you enter Yanzhou, you will inevitably fight with the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, what should you do if you are not superior in numbers? ”

Ma Xiaoquan asked three questions in a row, which made Cao Cao a little dizzy, and Cao Cao asked: "Then Lord Shangxian, what should I do?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "I can't sue you what to do, but I can nominate one of your accounts to you!" ”

"May I ask Lord Shangxian, who is under my account?"

Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo!" ”

"Him?" Cao Cao's heart trembled.

Speaking of Xun Yu, when Xun Yu abandoned Yuan Shao and voted for himself, Cao Cao was indeed happy for a while, and also called Xun Yu "my son Fang Ye!" on the spot! "But Xun Yu has a stuttering problem, every time he talks to Xun Yu, Cao Cao feels very tired, although Xun Yu has mentioned several strategies are very good, but for Cao Cao, who has a chapter and speaks smoothly, Xun Yu who stutters really doesn't let Cao Cao like it.

"Lord Shangxian, Xun Yu him"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Xiao Cao, this immortal has also heard that Xun Wenruo's stuttering is stricter, but no matter what, Xun Yu's talent is real, right?" ”

Xun Yu's talent, Cao Cao admitted, when Dong Zhuo was not dead, Cao Cao asked Xun Yu how to deal with Dong Zhuo, Xun Yu stumbled and explained: Then Dong Zhuo is perverse, cholera and cholera chaos, one day, he will pay the price for his atrocities, we should now actively develop our own strength, Dong Dong Zhuo does not have to care about him

Xun Yu was right, and sure enough, Dong Zhuo was killed by his own nest.

"Hmm~~ Then Lord Shangxian, I will ask Xun Yu to be my Chinese army strategist?"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Xiao Cao, don't worry, whether you look for Xun Yu or not, that's your business, but for Xun Yu's stuttering problem, Benxian still has a way to cure you!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and ordered his subordinates to pass Xun Yu away, while Ma Xiaoquan found an excuse to leave Cao Cao's mansion.

Dongjun is actually not big, according to the current point of view, it is only half the size of Beijing, which at that time, the territory is indeed a little smaller, Cao Cao did not want to directly lead the position of Dongjun Taishou, how to say that he is also a martial general, Dongjun Taishou said that it is not big, it is small, and it is like that, but when he is this Dongjun Taishou, at least he has his own place.

Ma Xiaoquan left Cao Cao's mansion and waited for Cao Cao to summon Xun Yu before leading Xiu'er to Xun Yu's house.

Xun Yu was worshiped by Cao Cao, and he can be regarded as a big one in Cao Cao's army. After Ma Xiaoquan entered Xun Yu's house, he found that Xun Yu even had a lot of bamboo slips on the main hall, Ma Xiaoquan picked up a pair of bamboo slips and opened them to take a look, and found that the leather strips of this bamboo slips were no longer strong, so it can be seen that Xun Yu is indeed working hard.

Xun Yu worshiped under Yuan Shao's account earlier, and Yuan Shao also treated Xun Yu quite well, but he was on an errand under Yuan Shao and could not be reused for a long time, which made Xun Yu very depressed; Yuan Shao has many advisers, and there are three sons: the eldest son Yuan Tan, the second son Yuan Xi, and the third son Yuan Shang, it stands to reason that the eldest son should be at the helm after Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao prefers the younger son Yuan Shang, after a banquet, Yuan Shao borrowed the strength of the wine, and actually said that he would let the younger son Yuan Shang inherit his position in the future Xun Yu listened to Yuan Shao's words at that time, and thought that the Yuan family foundation would be destroyed by his three sons in the future, so Xun Yu thought about it for a while before deciding to abandon Yuan Shao and vote for Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao's current strength is not as good as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is much stronger than Yuan Shao in terms of martial arts and cultural governance.

Ma Xiaoquan gently rolled up the bamboo slip in his hand, and saw the two words "Historical Records" engraved on the bamboo slip with a flat-headed knife, Ma Xiaoquan nodded affirmatively

After Xun Yu came out of Cao Cao's mansion, he happily rushed home, remembering the previous conversation with the lord Cao Cao, Xun Yu was indescribably happy, and after the conversation, the lord Cao Cao also announced on the spot that he would serve as the main army division stationed in Yanzhou.

Everyone has a selfish heart, especially a capable person, Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it. Thinking that he had been useless for a long time under Yuan Shao's tent, and today he was reused when he entered Cao Ying, Xun Yu felt an indescribable feeling of emotion and joy in his heart.

Thinking about it, Xun Yu unconsciously entered his own door, and as soon as he entered the door, Xun Yu found a purple-haired man standing in the lobby of his house, looking at the "Historical Records" that he had read more than a hundred times.

"Lord Shangshangxian?"

For the purple-haired man in front of him, Xun Yu had already heard of it, from the Xiahou brothers, especially Cao Hong's mouth, he simply held this person up to the sky, and the lord Cao Cao, although he did not show how much respect he had for this so-called "Shangxian Lord", but since this man came to Dongjun, the lord did have a very bold move in strategic deployment.

For example, Chen Gong was ordered to persuade the various ministries in Yanzhou, and I heard that it was this "Shangxian Lord" who built it, which shows that this "Shangxian Lord" is not simple

Ma Xiaoquan put down the bamboo slip, looked up, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, I'm back, hehe, Ben Xian, but I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Xun Yu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to pour good tea for Ma Xiaoquan.

After the tea came up, Xun Yu said respectfully: "Yu is flattered, don't you know that the immortal lord came to the cold house, can he give advice?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan didn't pretend to be 13, and said directly: "Wen Ruo, that Xiao Cao appreciates you very much, I think, he also gave you some important tasks just now, right?" ”

Xun Yu was shocked and nodded.

"However, I think you also know that your stuttering problem does make Xiao Cao very distressed, what about this immortal, although I just ask you about the disputes in the world, but if Wen Ruo has your stuttering problem, this immortal is very interested in helping you cure it, I don't know if Wen Ruo you agree?"

Xun Yu is actually very distressed, when it comes to stuttering, Xun Yu is depressed.

I didn't actually stutter before I was 20 years old, but one day when I was 20 years old, because I met an impudent sergeant, I was slapped in the face by the sergeant, and it became a stutter. I also thought about changing it, but I have used various methods, but they have had little effect. At the beginning of Yuan Shao's account, Yuan Shao secretly laughed at his stuttering disease, Xun Yu was a thin-skinned person, where could he stand such ridicule, so to abandon Yuan to Cao, to say that there is no personal reason, it is also a lie.

"Lord Shangshang, do you really want to help Yu correct his stutter?"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded.

"Mrs. is good" Xun Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down in front of Ma Xiaoquan.

Ma Xiaoquan helped Xun Yu up and said with relief: "You follow Xiao Cao well, don't let down his hard work for you, in the future, the burden on your Xun Wenruo's shoulders will be very heavy!" ”

Xun Yu's eyes were filled with tears for a moment, and his gratitude could not be expressed in words, of course, it was too difficult for him to express it.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "In the days to come, you will be by Xiao Cao's side with Ben Xian, if there is anything, you talk to Ben Xian, Ben Xian can also tell Xiao Cao on his behalf, of course, you can rest assured, Ben Xian is an immortal, just a microphone." ”

Xun Yu nodded.

In the next few days, Ma Xiaoquan specially instructed Zhao Er to prepare a lot of bamboo slips for him.

Zhao Er moved all the bamboo slips to Ma Xiaoquan, and asked curiously: "My lord, you want so many bamboo slips, but you want to write?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and instructed Zhao Er: "Zhao Er, tell me to go down, find some people who write well, and bring them to show the immortals." ”

Zhao Er didn't talk much, and hurriedly went to Zhang Luo after receiving the order, and within the time of two pillars of incense, Zhao Er found 5 people.

"My lord! The person you want to write well, I've found it for you. ”

Ma Xiaoquan looked at the person in front of him, nodded, and arranged: "From today on, you don't use your real name here in Benxian, and the few of you will be divided into one, two, three, four, and five according to your age in the future." ”

Several people looked at each other a few times, knelt on the ground, and even claimed to be.

That night, Ma Xiaoquan instructed Zhao Er to arrange Nos. 1 to 5 into his residence. At the same time, each of the five of them was given a flat-headed carving knife.

Zhao second-hand carried a bamboo stick and instructed the five people: "The five of you, the words are written well, my family invited five people to come, is to help the adults carve the book, the content of the book, the adults will come to dictate in person in a while, you just need to listen attentively, and then carve the book, as for the salary, rest assured, you will not lose money." ”

"I'll do as I was told!"

At this time, Ma Xiaoquan came out with a smile, and behind him, Miaoyu and Diao Chan, who were disguised as men.

When the five people saw Miaoyu and Diao Chan's dress, they all envied it: "The big man is so popular, and the scholars around him are so handsome."

When Miaoyu and Diao Chan heard this, their pretty faces turned red.

"Ahem~~" Ma Xiaoquan coughed twice, and said: "Okay, envy and envy enough, this immortal called you to do things today, presumably Zhao Er also told sù everyone, it's very simple, Ben Xian dictated, you just wait to listen to the lettering, as for the use of carving books, when the time is ripe, this immortal will tell you to do it, let's start, you have all the knives?" ”

The five nodded.

"Well, listen carefully, the first paragraph: eat grapes without spitting out grape skins, and don't eat grapes but spit out grape skins"
