The reason why the Xun family chose Liu Xin is because of Liu Xin's current reputation and status, he can fully assume the position of recommender, and Liu Xin has not clearly stated his position now, and the Xun family does not have to worry about the non-person entrusted to him.

And Liu Xin after listening to Xun Yu's explanation, he also understood the cause and effect of the matter, it turned out that the Xun family just wanted to go out of the mountain to support Xun Yu's father, in fact, Xun Yu's father was already a sure winner, after all, Xun Yu's father got the help of the ten permanent servants.

Therefore, Liu Xin thinks that this is not bad, after all, he only needs to say a few words for Xun Yu's father to get the talents provided by the Xun family, so why not do it?

So, Liu Xin nodded with a smile and said: "I see, so that this king will have no reason to refuse, as long as Brother Wenruo, your Xun family can provide suitable talents for this king, then this king can start to cooperate with your Xun family." ”

When Xun Yu heard Liu Xin say this, he was naturally relieved, because Xun Yu knew that he had not made a trip in vain today.

Xun Yu held the mentality of striking while the iron was hot, and said to Liu Xin seriously: "Thank you Lord Wang, then I will introduce you to the prince in the next place, the candidates that our Xun family wants to provide to the prince, first of all, our Xun family plans to recommend twenty members of our Xun family to the prince, but these members of the Xun family are all under the age of twenty-five, and most of them are about the same age as me, but the one who is responsible for the leader is a nephew named Xun Yu, the word Gongda... ”

Liu Xin, who originally didn't care a little much, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard Xun Yu Xun Gongda, and he was pleasantly surprised.

Liu Xin didn't expect the Xun family to be able to provide him with a talent with a name, after all, a family like the Xun family, generally speaking, tightly controls those geniuses in their own hands, and will not easily let them become officials under the influence of others, because these geniuses are important "resources" to enhance the strength of the family, just like the Xun family Eight Dragons back then, the Xun family, which was originally somewhat obscure, re-famous, and by the way, there was also a commonplace to make the Xun family's status in officialdom also improved. So generally speaking, talents like Xun Yu will go up step by step through the careful arrangement of the family.

Therefore, Liu Xin didn't expect the Xun family to provide him with many real geniuses, he only hoped that the Xun family could provide him with some talents who could be qualified for middle-level officials in Yizhou.

And now, Liu Xin actually heard Xun You's name, if it weren't for Xun Yu and casually said Xun You's cousin, this made Liu Xin confirm that the Xun family really "gifted" Xun You to himself, which made Liu Xin not be surprised.

Liu Xin remembered that Xun You was born in 157 A.D., and now he is only about twenty-three years old, when he is in the prime of life, and Xun You is naturally also a native of Yingyin, Yingchuan, Cao Cao's adviser in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and Xun Yu's nephew, although he is five years older than Xun Yu, but the generation of ancient China is like this, Liu Xin also feels very troublesome...

Xun Yu's "Wang Zuozhicai" is a recognized name in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, although he made many suggestions during Cao Cao's development period, but at the time of the battle of Guandu, Xun Yu began to turn from the front of the stage to the backstage, and at this time Xun Yu's position in the army, it was naturally Xun Yu's nephew, Xun Yu, who was called "the master" by Cao Cao.

The reason why Xun Yu is called the "mastermind" is because Xun Yu is good at flexible and changeable tactics and military strategies to defeat the enemy.

And Liu Xin remembered that Xun You in history became a waiter of the Yellow Gate when He Jin was in power, and when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he was imprisoned for plotting to assassinate Dong Zhuo, at that time Xun You conspired with Zheng Tai, He Hao, Shizhong Chongji, Yue Cavalry Captain Wu Qiong and others and said: "Dong Zhuo is tyrannical and unreasonable, and the world complains about it, although Dong Zhuo has strong soldiers under him, but Dong Zhuo is a reckless man after all." We should assassinate him to thank the people, and then assist the king to command the world. At this time, He Hao was afraid of suicide, and Xun You was no pressure, and he was free from eating and drinking, Dong Zhuo saw that he was exempt from the death penalty, so Xun You abandoned the official and returned to his hometown, at first he planned to ask the official to go to the city as an official, but the result was naturally rejected, so Xun You to Shu Han is dangerous, the people are prosperous, and ask for Shu County Taishou, although this matter was promised, but because of the difficulty of Shu Road, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, so Xun You feels that the road to Shu is too difficult to walk, so he lives in Jingzhou, However, Liu Xin felt that Xun You didn't plan to enter Shu from the beginning, but just wanted to leave Luoyang.

After Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven into Xudu, Xun You, who lived in seclusion in Jingzhou, was recommended by Xun Yu, plus the reputation accumulated when Xun You planned to assassinate Dong Zhuo, which made Cao Cao very interested in Xun You, so he recruited Xun You, and Xun You became Cao Cao's military advisor.

In the third year of Jian'an (that is, in 198 AD), Xun You followed Cao Cao with the army to conquer Zhang Xiu, which was also the first time Xun You followed Cao Cao to go on the expedition, Xun You saw that the situation at that time was very unfavorable to Cao Cao, so he suggested to Cao Cao: "Zhang Xiu has joined forces with Liu Biao, and they are each other's horns, but Zhang Xiu wants to support so many people and horses, and he must rely on Liu Biao to supply. Therefore, it is better for our army to delay the army and wait for its changes; If our army is eager to attack, Liu Biao will desperately save each other, and it will not be easy for our army to get Wancheng, and then a dilemma will be formed. ”

It's a pity that Xun You at this time was just a newcomer under Cao Cao, so Cao Cao didn't listen to Xun You's advice, and directly sent troops to fight against Zhang Xiu, but Liu Biao really sent troops to rescue, Cao's army was defeated, Cao Cao almost died there, and Cao Ang, the son of Dian Wei and Cao Cao, also died to cover Cao Cao's retreat.

Later, Cao Cao said to people with great regret: "This is all the result of not listening to Xun You's words!" Since then, Cao Cao has been obedient to Xun Youyan, relying on him very much, and he no longer dares to easily deny his opinions.

In the fifth year of Jian'an (that is, in 200 AD), the famous battle of Yuan Cao Guandu began, which was also the battle that determined the fate of Cao Cao's life.

In February of the same year, Yuan Shao first sent the general Yan Liang to besiege Baima, and in April, Cao Cao personally led the army north to rescue the siege of Baima, and when the troops were marching towards Baima, Xun You thought that he could not confront the strong enemy with a huge disparity in strength, so Xun You analyzed the situation at that time to Cao Cao, and put forward a combat strategy to attack the east and the west and rescue the White Horse, because Xun You thought that Yuan Shao had many soldiers and horses, so he should try to disperse his forces, so he persuaded Cao Cao to lead his troops to Yanjin first, disguised as to cross the river to attack Yuan Shao's rear, Yuan Shao divided his troops to the west, and then sent light cavalry to attack Yuan's army attacking Baima, so that he could attack it unprepared, and he would definitely be able to defeat Yan Liang.

After Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's words, he felt that it was very reasonable, so he acted according to the plan, Yuan Shao really divided his troops to Yanjin, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack the white horse with light horses, Yan Liang was unprepared and was killed by Guan Yu.

After Cao Cao relieved the siege of Baima, he personally led 600 cavalry to escort the grain and grass to retreat west along the river, but soon after the army, he met Yuan Shao's 5,000 or 6,000 pursuers. Cao Cao's generals saw that the enemy was outnumbered, and they all felt that they could not face the enemy head-on, so they all persuaded Cao Cao to retreat to the camp, while Xun You knew Cao Cao's thoughts, so he advocated using tactics to annihilate this army.

So, Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to unsaddle and release the horses, discard the baggage, and lure the Yuan army, and then when the Yuan army approached and competed for the baggage, Cao Cao suddenly ordered the whole army to mount the horse and attack quickly, thus breaking the Yuan army.

After arriving, when Yuan Shao's Wuchao grain and grass were burned and the army's heart was in turmoil, Xun You offered Cao Cao another suggestion: "Now our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue, but it is best to pass on false information, just say that our army will allocate men and horses, and make it look like attacking Ye County all the way; If Yuan Shao heard this rumor, with his suspicious character, he would definitely believe it and would divide his forces to block our army. Our army can take advantage of his deployment of troops to attack Yuan Zhai, Yuan Shao's army has no fighting spirit, and it will definitely be able to break through in one attack. ”

After Cao Cao heard Xun You's words, he felt that what Xun You said made sense, so he immediately adopted Xun You's strategy, dispatched three people, threatened everywhere, and spread the news to confuse Yuan Shao.

After hearing the news, Yuan Jun's spies hurriedly ran to report to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao naturally believed it, and hurriedly sent 100,000 troops to rescue Yejun and Liyang respectively, and set off on a hurried march overnight, and at this time Cao Cao immediately concentrated a large number of soldiers and horses, took advantage of the weakness, and rushed to Yuan Shao's camp, and Yuan Jun had no fighting spirit, officers and soldiers fled in all directions, naturally unable to resist, and Yuan Shao didn't even have time to put on his armor, and fled with his young son Yuan Shang, Cao Jun was reluctant to give up, so Yuan Shao fled for his life in order to cross the river, The vehicles full of gold, silver, treasures, and books were all discarded, and only more than 800 cavalrymen fled to Liyang as personal guards, and Cao's army won a complete victory, and Yuan Shao was devastated from then on.

After solving the threat brought by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao began to deal with Lü Bu, and in the battle of Guandu, Xun You, who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats, was naturally valued by Cao Cao, so when Cao Cao conquered Lü Bu, Xun You also accompanied the army.

Lu Bu was besieged by Cao Jun and Liu Bei and other armies, and had no choice but to retreat and hold Xiapi City, although after many attacks, Cao Cao's army still could not capture the city, at this time Cao Cao's army was also exhausted, so Cao Cao wanted to withdraw his troops back to Wancheng, and Xun You at this time was naturally resolutely opposed, Xun You thought that "although Lu Bu is brave, but there is no strategy, now he has been defeated in three battles and three times, and his sharpness has been greatly reduced, although he is holding on to Xiapi, but Lu Bu's army has no will to struggle, if you hold on for a while, The enemy will defeat himself, and although Lu Bu has a first-class strategist like Chen Gong, Chen Gong is hesitant and slow to plan, and he can't adapt to the changes in the situation. We should rush to the moment when Lu Bu's sharp spirit has not yet recovered and Chen Gong's plan has not yet been set, and think of an urgent attack, so that Lu Bu will definitely be defeated. ”

So Xun You offered a flood strategy, Cao Jun led Yi water into Xiapi City, the flood broke down the city wall, Lu Bu's army was defeated without a fight, Lu Bu was also captured alive, and finally hanged Baimen Tower.

For this battle, Cao Cao felt that he had succeeded completely relying on Xun You's strategy, so he praised Xun You again and again: "Even ancient sages like Yan Zi and Ning Wu are nothing more than that!" ”

As for after Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Shao's three sons were in civil strife, and during Cao Cao's beginning to march into Pingding Hebei, Xun You was even more powerful to oppose public opinion, advocating that Cao Cao eliminate Yuan Shao's sons, so he was named the Marquis of Lingshu Pavilion by Cao Cao's court, but in the nineteenth year of Jian'an (that is, 214 AD), Xun You died on Cao Cao's war on Wu's road, which can be regarded as an untimely death.

And Xun You painted Qi Ce 12 all his life, but only Zhong Xuan knew the joints, but Zhong Xiang died before finishing it later, so Xun You's Qi Ce 12 was lost.

Then again, Xun Yu now also found that Liu Xin began to wander after hearing Xun Yu's name, and Xun Yu couldn't grasp Liu Xin's attitude for a while, so Xun Yu stopped his introduction and looked at Liu Xin quietly.

And Liu Xin also came back to his senses at this time, because Su Jia, who was standing behind Liu Xin, gave Liu Xin a wake-up call, so Liu Xin realized that he was distracted again, and then saw Xun Yu looking at himself silently, Liu Xin couldn't help touching his chin, and said to Xun Yu with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, this king is a little distracted." ”

When Xun Yu saw Liu Xin's appearance, he knew that Liu Xin should not be dissatisfied with Xun You, so Xun Yu also smiled and said to Liu Xin: "Lord Wang, I think you seem to be very interested in Gongda him, so do you need to listen to Gongda and introduce him to you?" ”

Liu Xin naturally nodded and agreed to this proposal, so Xun Yu began to introduce Xun Yu to Liu Xin.

Xun You is naturally born in Yingchuan's largest family - Xun family, and Xun You is kind and upright, full of wisdom, but Xun You lost his parents when he was a child, so he grew up with his grandfather and uncle, although Xun You's appearance gives people a dull and cowardly feeling, but the heart is witty and brave, good at observing people.

When Xun You was thirteen years old, his grandfather died, and in the past, an official named Zhang Quan under his grandfather took the initiative to ask for filial piety for his grandfather, but Xun You saw that the look on this person's face was abnormal, so he guessed that this person had done something treacherous, so he told his uncle, so Xun You's uncle took the opportunity to interrogate this person, and sure enough, this Zhang Quan fled because he killed someone, and wanted to hide himself by guarding the tomb.

Next, Xun You's talent and fame continued to rise, but because Xun You was an orphan after all, there were not many family resources that could be obtained, so Xun You never officially appeared.
