Chapter 443 A word breaks the sky
“shime!?” Xun Yu's surprise was not trivial, he stood up in shock, looked at Guo Jia in shock, fǎngfo saw the appearance of ghosts and gods, showing him all kinds of incredible supernatural powers.
Xun Yu's specific responsibilities in Cao Cao's shogunate are difficult to locate, on the surface, he is only in charge of internal affairs and personnel, but in fact, he has a part in various matters in Cao's army.
Xi Zhicai left the center, and in Xuzhou and Langya, Xun Yu took over the intelligence work; Before Cheng Yu joined, in terms of diplomacy and strategy, Xun Yu was also taking care of the fastest update of the chapter of the novel. He is a jack-of-all-trades, busier than when Xiao He was under Liu Bang.
Since Chun Yuqiong entered the city, there has been an undercurrent in the city.
Chun Yuqiong ziji trumpeted Wang Yu's wisdom and martial arts in the Battle of Hebei, the bravery and good fighting of the Qingzhou generals, Yuan Shao's stupidity and incompetence, and the intrigue between the civil and military forces in Hebei; Secretly, his entourage spread rumors everywhere in the city, spreading the news of the Hebei War throughout the city in an instant.
In fact, these undercurrents are under Xun Yu's observation and Cao Cao's grasp. It's just that there are too many people involved here, and there are too many fears, Xun Yucai méiyou took action, Bijing is now an eventful time, in the face of Cao Jun's internal hidden dangers, this little thing is really not enough to worry about. Even if Méiyou is pure in Qiong, the battle of Hebei will still be revealed to the world after all.
What really aroused Xun Yu's vigilance were those Qingzhou spies lurking in Puyang and becoming active with the arrival of Chun Yuqiong!
Just like Xi Zhicai has never relaxed his spying on Qingzhou, Xu Shu has also buried a lot of nails in Puyang and Yingchuan. The characteristic of Qingzhou agents is that they do not engage in sabotage. And also do not spread rumors, except to gather intelligence. Of all the things they do, the only one that has kěnéng poses the risk of revealing their identity. It is the search and attraction of talents.
There are no rules for their search and attraction of talents, there are famous people who have been famous for a long time, and there are also children from poor families who no one knows, but more are those young scholars who are famous, but they can't see the opportunity to get ahead.
The actions of Qingzhou spies are very secretive, and during the period when Xi Zhicai was in the center, Shime never found out. After Xun Yu took over the intelligence system, he also learned from Cao Cao when he recommended his friend Du Ji to the latter. Qingzhou actually contacted Yijing.
Xun Yu has always been proud of Ziji's connections, and he thinks that the world is méiyou a few talents who he does not zhidào. As a result, after following the clue that Du Ji said, he found that Wang Yu's skills in talent collection were not under Ziji at all.
But anyone who has a certain talent or potential, regardless of whether they are famous, will most likely be included in the scope of the search. Tèbié noticed it, and Xun Yu found out that there was only one name on the hands of many shihou, Qingzhou's secret agents. I don't even have all personal information such as my place of origin and teacher's inheritance, so I just look for it, and there will be oolong incidents from time to time.
Still, there are a lot of targets that have been successfully found. And then the jiēchu happens.
Someone was poached, and the most recent one was the loser of the Pan family; Someone outright refused. For example, the old acquaintance of the lord is full of favors, and Du Ji and others recommended by Ziji; But most people should still be waiting. As the dust settles on the Great War in Hebei, among these people. I'm afraid that there will be a significant number of people who make decisions that Ziji does not want to see.
In this regard, Xun Yu was worried.
Who would have thought that things were even worse than he could have imagined, and Qingzhou even targeted Guo Jia! And before Ziji made a move, he was on Jiēchu, and it seemed that they were still talking happily. He thought that even if Qingzhou was eyeing Guo Jia, it should be after Ziji, or at the same time.
Qingzhou secret agents had searched Guo Jia before, but they were mainly searching in the Yingchuan area, obviously only knowing his name, but not the specifics. Famous people who are familiar with Guo Jia, in addition to Ziji and Xi Zhicai, there are only Guo Tu and Xin Ping.
Xin Ping should have lowered Wang Yu, and it is said that even if the latter gets the news of Guo Jia, he will send someone to Puyang to look for it, and it will not be faster than Ziji. Unless, he attaches great importance to Guo Jia, so high that after he gets accurate information, he dispatches people to find it overnight!
This fact made Xun Yu scared for a while, and even a cold sweat came down, tèbié was after he had seen Guo Jia's true level.
Think about it, Qingzhou Yijing has Wang Yu, the lord who uses soldiers like a god, Jia Xu, who is scheming and insightful, Xu Shu, who is unparalleled and sharp, and Tian Feng, who is calm and resolute, if you add a Guo Fengxiao who knows the subtleties and is clever......
Oh, my God! This is called how can the princes of all walks of life who compete with Qingzhou for the world live? The future of Yanzhou is bound to be pitch black!
Fortunately...... Xun Yu began to rejoice, not because Guo Jia took the initiative to tell him, but because he Zhidào Guo Jia would definitely refuse Qingzhou's invitation. There is only one reason: Guo Jia is self-reliant and talented, and he is categorically unwilling to live under others!
Although there are many staff members in Qingzhou, the position of the chief military advisor is undoubtedly Jia Xu's, and no matter how much Wang Yu attaches importance to Guo Jia, he will not remove Jia Xu and let Guo Jia take the position. No matter how prestigious he is in the army, once this precedent is set, Qingzhou will have méiyou rules in the future, even if he is under the banner of meritocracy.
It is inherently difficult to measure the level of talent, and if we blindly select talent on the basis of merit and talent, it will lead to competition within the military. The more things that break the rules, the more this competition becomes, and the more partisan and strife-oriented it becomes.
Although Guo Jia's talent is high, it may not be higher than Jia Xu, ruguo Wang Yu really dares to break the rules, and if he doesn't do a good job of the Qingzhou shogunate of sincere unity, he will follow in the footsteps of Jizhou.
A thousand thoughts turned, but in fact, it was only in an instant.
The aftermath of the exclamation was still there, Xun Yu figured out these questions, and his demeanor returned to calm.
"Fengxiao really has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, so it's okay, but Yu doesn't need to bother with words this time." Xun Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, and asked, "Dare to ask Fengxiao, you know the general situation tomorrow and the current embarrassment of our army, can you teach me?" ”
"Don't dare to be." Guo Jia smiled slightly, and returned the salute, although his layout today is not painstaking, but it is also deliberate, in order to enhance the impression. Although he is arrogant, he also knows how difficult it is to seek the position.
Qingzhou employs people in an eclectic manner, and there are no requirements for age and experience. As long as you have the ability, you will be entrusted with important tasks. Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Xu Shu are all proofs. However, Guo Jia wants to be under one person. The status of asking about everything, no matter how eclectic Wang Yu is, he does not avoid discussions, and he does not kěnéng directly to him.
After last night's meeting, he was still hesitating, but the news he heard in the teahouse during the day made him completely determined. To realize his original ambition, Cao Jun after the death of Xi Zhicai is his only chance.
"Wang Pengju set Hebei in a battle. The harvest is great, the loss is not small, if he has the intention of pursuing the victory and doing his best in a battle, now is the opportunity for General Cao. How could Wang Pengju see things very clearly, he was not greedy for small profits, and he didn't even have the idea of annexing allies by taking advantage of the situation, but with the power of a great victory, he ordered all the princes of Hebei to join the alliance in the Gaotang Dynasty as the overlord......"
Speaking of the general trend of the world. Guo Jia's expression finally became a little dignified, no longer the indifferent appearance of the cloud and the breeze.
In this way, General Cao not only did not see the opportunity, but was about to face the invasion of Qingzhou at any time. The other party is also famous. In the worst-case scenario, he could even tie the other three powerful men of Hebei to the chariot and attack Yanzhou in a big way. Disputes within your army. Nominally revenge or not, in the final analysis. It's nothing more than what kind of attitude to face Qingzhou at this moment. ”
"Listening to Fengxiao's words, it is like seeing the sun through the clouds. Yu respectfully! Xun Yu sighed sincerely.
He hadn't thought of this section at all beforehand, but thinking along this line of thought, he could confirm the correctness of Guo Jia's words.
In the handling of internal contradictions, Cao Cao has always been very decisive and wise. But this time, just because of whether to avenge Cao Ren, there was such a big dispute between the civil and military, but Cao Cao had always been unclear and looked hesitant, which further intensified the internal controversy.
Xun Yu's overall view has always been good, but he is in the game and suffers from it, where does he have the ability to jump out of the game and look at the overall situation? It wasn't until Guo Jia's prompt that he suddenly realized that Cao Cao was hesitating not only about revenge or not, but even when Yijing reached the juncture of whether to fight or surrender!
This is not alarmist, the reason why all the generals of the relatives are fighting the main battle, and the ministers and staff have to avoid the war, is not a tendency when the princes of the Qingzhou Alliance come to attack in a big way.
The three families in Hebei may not be willing to stay away from the nest and go to the Central Plains to take advantage of Wang Yu's fire, but as long as they stand on Wang Yu's side with a clear banner, the momentum of this siege instigated by Qingzhou will be quite terrifying.
What's more, Qingzhou still has two substantial allies...... That's right, it's Tao Qian and Yuan Shu!
These two families and their own families have a feud first, Yuan Shu was beaten by the lord for thousands of miles, and he lost his face and lining; The civil strife in Xuzhou is also inseparable from the lord.
Wang Yu ascended to the top and shouted, and all the princes fell into the well together, even if the lord had three heads and six arms, he couldn't resist it! What's more, in the Hebei War, his side was not unscathed, and the successive deaths of Cao Ren and Xi Zhicai were extremely heavy losses for Cao Jun.
This is the reason that really bothered the lord and made him lose his usual perseverance and determination!
Xun Yu Jingshén was greatly inspired, and asked Guo Jia, who was almost ten years younger than him and was a little too young: "Dare to ask Fengxiao, is there a way to save such a crisis?" ”
Guo Jia smiled indifferently and said, "There must be nothing in the world, and there is no need to know anything?" There are necessary feelings, and those who must do it, but they just prescribe the right medicine and move according to the situation. If Brother Wen Ruo has nothing else to do, why not make tea with his younger brother and discuss the affairs of the world, so as to welcome spring and send winter? ”
Xun Yu's heart moved, and he looked at the expression on Guo Jia's face, but he just couldn't see the details, after thinking for a moment, he suddenly got up and arched his hand: "Who is Xun Yu, how can he sit alone with Fengxiao and discuss the Tao?" Feng Xiao and wait, Rong will come when he goes. With that, he turned and walked away.
Guo Jia bowed slightly, but did not say anything to stop it, and his face was still the confident smile that was under control.
……
When he went out to get into the car, the last trace of calmness on Xun Yu's face disappeared, and he urged the coachman one after another, driving a carriage like a chariot charging into battle, and returned to the Thorn History Mansion.
Without waiting for the carriage to stop, Xun Yu directly pulled his shirt and got out of the carriage with a jumping-like action. Then, ignoring the few frightened and stunned guards who came over, he uncharacteristically went straight to Cao Cao's study without being informed.
"Lord, great joy, great joy!" Before anyone arrived, the sound arrived first, Xun Yu's panicked appearance stunned Cao Cao, who heard the sound.
"Wen Ruo, ...... you are"
"Congratulations to the lord, after Zhicai, you have a great talent that is not born in the world!" Xun Yu bowed his hand and congratulated loudly.
Cao Cao's face suddenly turned from surprise to joy, and he asked, "Could it be that this Guo Fengxiao really has amazing talents?" ”
"Through the heavens and latitudes, the ghosts and gods are unpredictable, and the first ghost in the world is also!" Xun Yu gave the answer in the most solemn way, as he spoke, he leaned forward, leaned into Cao Cao's ear, and whispered the whole guochéng who met with Guo Jia, tèbié focused on Guo Jia's analysis of the current situation of Cao Jun and the general trend of the world.
Cao Cao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and in the end, his face was full of red light and disbelief, and before Xun Yu finished speaking, he shouted one after another: "Come on, prepare the horse ......" Before he finished speaking, he Yijing changed his mind, pulled Xun Yu's hand, and said loudly: "No, I can't wait, Wen Ruo, you will go to Qingmei Lane with me!" ”
Saying that, he was wearing the relatively casual clothes he wore when he was at home, and dragged Xun Yu out of the Thorn Mansion, without even saying hello to the guards. The guards were surprised, and they didn't dare to ask, so they could only call each other and hurriedly follow behind the two.
Such a momentum suddenly alarmed most of Puyang City, there was nowhere to go in the cold winter, and the scholars who were looking for news everywhere got what they wanted, and the news spread like wings.
has not yet come out, but the name of the ghost talent has spread overnight, Guo Jia's career path will undoubtedly be a broad and smooth road. (To be continued......)
