"Huh?" Hearing that it was Cheng Yu, Cao Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "Hurry up, please!" ”

Cheng Yu walked into Cao Ying's study step by step, bowed down slowly and bowed down and said, "Cheng Yu sees the lord..."

"That's it!" Seeing Cheng Yu pretending, Cao Ying couldn't help waving his hand and asked with a smile: "What is the important matter for Zhongde to come here?" ”

"I'm here to untie the knot in the lord's heart!" Cheng Yu twisted his short beard under his chin and smiled faintly, the bearing of the top strategist was undoubtedly revealed, which made Cao Ying a little dizzy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Me? What do I have in my heart? In front of Cheng Yu, Cao Ying didn't put on any shelf for the prime minister, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, but found that Cheng Yu was still standing, and couldn't help laughing: "Zhongde, sit!" ”

Cheng Yu sat down unceremoniously at the bottom of Cao Ying, and said with a smile: "The champion Hou Xiong is strategic, and the lord has never been afraid?" The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty only care about their own families, even the Xun family is also selfish, hasn't the lord ever been cold? As far as I can see, in the court, when the order for seeking merit was read, what the lord showed was probably not angry! ”

was exposed by Cheng Yu, Cao Ying was not displeased, he chuckled: "Since Zhongde has seen it, what can you teach me?" ”

"It also depends on the will of the lord!" Taking the chopsticks from Cao Ying's hand, Cheng Yu took a bite of the dish and chewed it for a while, and said with a smile: "The chef in the lord's mansion is good, and the taste is much better than that at home!" ”

"Zhongde still knows my thoughts!" Cao Ying didn't think it was wrong, but laughed and said: "Speaking from the heart, every sentence on the order to seek talent has been said into Cao's heart!" I remember when I was outside the Tiger Prison and had an alliance with Ben Chu, I asked him what if things didn't go wrong. Ben Chu replied: 'I am based on Hebei in the south, blocking Yan, Dai, and the people of the desert, and fighting for the world in the south, can I help you? But when he asked me, I replied, 'Let the intellect of the world be invincible with the Tao.' 'Now, the Champion Hou's recruitment order does not respond to my original words? ”

"The harm of the family is worse than the troubled times, if there is no family, maybe the world will be more stable!" Cheng Yu sighed and said: "It's a pity that the family can't be eliminated, even if a family is destroyed today, a new family will appear tomorrow." Let's just say that the lord is under the command of the martial arts, including below. If the lord rules the world, our family will gradually form a family. Maybe hundreds of years later, our new families will not be inferior to all the families of the current Han Dynasty! ”

"Alas!" Cao Ying sighed and said, "Isn't there a way to restrain the family? ”

"Inhibition?" Cheng Yu smiled bitterly: "You can't kill it!" ”

"Maybe Champion Hou's merit order will have an effect?" Cao Ying's eyes were full of expectation, and Cheng Yu really didn't want to pour cold water on him. But most of Cao Ying's subordinates are children of the family, and if Cao Ying follows Liu Zhang's example, Xuchang will be in chaos again.

"My lord, you have seen it above the court today. If you also implement the champion Hou's order to seek talents, then..."You don't need to finish speaking, you don't need to pour a basin of cold water, just a few points of coldness are enough to make Cao Ying wake up!

"This..."Cao Ying understood what Cheng Yu meant, but he asked unwillingly: "Zhongde, can't you just stop like this?" How can I, Cao Ying, be controlled by others! ”

"My lord, the top priority is to expand the strength, it is better to include Xuzhou under his command first, and then follow the example of the champion Hou and recruit talents! At that time, anyone who does not accept it will be killed! Cheng Yu's face was full of cruelty, but he forgot that the Han people are all over the world, and the bigger the territory, the more difficult it is to implement the new policy.

Who knows, Liu Zhang originally started to clean up the family from Bingzhou, entered Yizhou, and made another ruthless move, so he dared to issue a merit-seeking order in Chang'an! When Liu Zhang cleaned up the family and became precarious under his rule, the reason why no one took advantage of the danger was because Chang'an was blocked by Dong Zhuo, which allowed Liu Zhang to clean up the family in Yihe Erzhou. As for Ma Teng and Han Sui, who could cause harm, they were preparing to enter King Chang'an Qin at that time!

Occasion! Opportunity! People often only need to grasp it once in their life, and they can be invincible. There is no doubt that Liu Zhang grasped it. The talent search order is like a bomb exploding in Dahan, and it seems that a hurricane is blowing everywhere, but Yizhou, Bingzhou, and even Liangzhou have not made any waves. It's a pity that Cao Ying and Cheng Yu didn't see Liu Zhang's arrangements in advance, but they only saw the benefits that Liu Zhang received!

After listening to Cheng Yu's suggestion, Cao Ying felt that it was very reasonable, so he decided to bring Xuzhou under his command first. The family contributed 800,000 stone grain and grass, although it could not be used to attack Liu Zhang, but it was more than enough to clean up Lu Bu. What's more, there is still a Chen Deng in Xuzhou who is making the tide! However, it is always difficult for Cao Ying to attack Lu Bu directly, because Jizhou Yuan Shao will never watch Cao Ying become bigger!

Cao Ying is waiting for an opportunity, but the family is afraid, they have controlled the government for many years, and the successive emperors Yanjing are powerless, but Liu Zhang only relied on an edict to break the biggest reliance of the family family, so that the family can no longer monopolize the court. Indeed, there are more talents in the big family than in the poor. But the base of the Hanmen is placed there, and the family has to worry. Imagine, two people with the same talent, will the emperor use the Hanmen, or the family? The answer is definitely a cold door!

In order to make Liu Zhang's order to seek talents unable to continue, the family contacted the family in Shuzhong and sent troops to Cao Ying. However, even if the big families in Shu have the heart, they can't do anything. Because their private soldiers have long been deprived by Liu Zhang, and they don't even have fields, what else can they do with just a few domestic slaves, servants, and maids?

Knowing the embarrassment of the Shuzhong family, the Yanzhou family was shocked, originally they were still laughing at Liu Zhang, they couldn't treat the family well, and they would not die well. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang was so ruthless, doing things one by one, and he didn't have the power to fight back at all, and at this time, Cao Ying also realized why Liu Zhang was able to set up a recruitment hall in Chang'an.

It's a pity that Cao Ying doesn't have Liu Zhang's courage, and if he wants to take the land of Yanzhou and Xuzhou into his hands, he won't want to occupy Xuzhou in his life. At the very least, Chen Deng, who originally supported him, would go against him. However, Cao Ying decided that even if he couldn't dispose of the Yanxu family at once, he would slowly weaken the family, and one day, the family's influence would cease to exist.

Seeing that Cao Ying was silent, the more the family made more and more trouble, and even the old lady Cao Song and Cao were invited. Cao Ying looked at his father, and naturally knew everything and said everything. Cao Song understood Cao Ying's thoughts, and immediately ordered the Cao Mansion to close the door to thank guests, so as not to miss Cao Ying's plan.

Just when the children of the family were in trouble, Xu Du received a letter from Yuan Shao. It turned out that Yuan Shao wanted to send troops to fight against Gongsun Zhan, but he was worried that Cao Ying would drag him back, so he wrote a letter to test him. It's just the words in the letter that make Cao Ying quite unhappy! Cao Ying was about to get angry, but found that this letter was an opportunity for him to crusade against Xuzhou.

The next morning, Cao Ying asked Cheng Yu to bring the letter to the court and presented it to Liu Xie in the court. Liu Xie didn't know Cao Ying's thoughts, so he had to look at him with a confused face.

After listening to Yuan Shao's letter, the Manchu Dynasty began to chatter endlessly, Cao Ying took a deep breath and asked: "Princess, Yuan Shao is so innocent, I want to ask for it, how about it?" ”

"No!" Situ Cuilie said: "Prime Minister, Yuan Shao is powerful, and our army is beyond reach, if you send troops to conscript, you will bring humiliation on yourself!" It's better to send troops to Chang'an to please Liu Zhang! ”

When Cao Ying heard this, although there was no expression on his face, he couldn't help but scold in his heart: "Yuan Shao is powerful, so Liu Zhang's power is small?" In terms of strength, Liu Zhang may still be above Yuan Shao! ”

"No!" Although there was a rift between Xun Yu and Cao Ying, he would never allow Cao Ying to be belittled. I only heard Xun Yu say loudly: "Liu and Xiang are invincible, and the public knows it." Gao Zu was only outwitted, and although Xiang Yu was strong, he was finally captured. Today, Shao has ten defeats, the public has ten victories, although the Shao soldiers are prosperous, there is no fear also: Shao is full of etiquette, the public body is natural, and this way is victorious; Shao to reverse, public to be obedient, this righteousness is also victorious; Since Huan and Ling, the government has lost in leniency, Shao has been lenient, and the public has been violently corrected, and this rule has been victorious; Shao wai wide and taboo, many relatives, public and simple, only talented, this degree is also victorious; Shao more plans and less decisions, the public has to make a plan, and this plan is also successful; Shao special reputation, public and sincere treatment of people, this virtue is also victorious; Shao compassion is near and far, the public is thoughtful, and this benevolence is also victorious; Shao listens to slander and confusion, and the public infiltration is not good, and this Ming wins also; Shao is confused about right and wrong, and the public law is strict, and this article is also good; Shao Hao is a false situation, I don't know what the soldiers want, the public is less than the public, and the soldiers are like gods, and this martial arts is also victorious. The public has these ten victories, and there is no difficulty in defeating. ”

Seeing Xun Yu's words in support of Cao Ying, Xun Yu immediately supported him: "Wen Ruo's saying of ten wins and ten defeats is in line with his humble opinion. Although there are many soldiers, why be afraid! ”

"This is still the same Xun Wenruo back then!" took a deep look at Xun's uncle and nephew, but Cao Ying found that Xun Yu's face was pale, obviously due to exhaustion. If it weren't for the thorn in Cao Ying's heart that hadn't been removed, he would definitely comfort Xun Yu, so that he wouldn't overwork and hurt his body. However, even so, Cao Yu felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, Xun Yu was not only his courtier, but also his friend!

In fact, the reason why Xun Yu would help Cao Ying speak was not only because he was interested, but also because Cheng Yu wanted to reconcile the relationship between Xun Yu and Cao Ying. Xun Yu's talent, if it can't be used by Cao Ying, wouldn't it be a pity? Besides, Xun Yu's loyalty to the Han family and Cao Ying are not currently in conflict. Unbeknownst to everyone, the Duke of Zhou also detained King Cheng in Zi Palace. Now, it is as if Liu Xie is the king who was detained by Cao Ying! As for after the unification of the world, whether Cao Ying returned to power or usurped the throne, who has nothing to do and just think about things so far in the future?

"Lord, although Yuan Shao is not worried, there is something that has to be guarded against!" Cheng Yu began to play blackface again, even though his viciousness was already known to everyone.

"Dare to ask Zhongde, what do you want to prevent?" Seeing that Xun Yu was still so supportive, Cao Ying's mood was much better. What's more, this morning's upward recital was all discussed between him and Cheng Yu. Only Xun Yu's ten wins and ten defeats were beyond Cao Ying's expectations.

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Xuzhou Lu Bu is a big trouble. Now that Yuan Shao is confronting Gongsun Zan in the north, I should take it far away, first take Lu Bu, sweep away the southeast, and then Tushao, which is the best plan; Otherwise, if our side attacks Yuan Shao, Lu Bu will take advantage of the situation to attack Xu Du, which will cause a lot of harm! ”
