"Okay, Bufan, you go down, the detailed situation Fengxiao will order you!" Cao Cao waved his hand and signaled that Guo Jia and Lu Rui could go down.

"No!" Lu Rui and Guo Jia arched their hands and withdrew.

"Evil, you keep outside the tent, and no one is allowed to come in without my military order."

"No!" Dian Wei arched his hand and guarded outside the military tent.

"Master, what about Teacher Xun?" As soon as Lu Rui sat down, he immediately asked Guo Jia.

"The specific situation is not clear for the teacher, but Xu Du's situation is not very good."

"Master means that Teacher Xun is going to betray his middle father?"

"That's not all, if Wen Ruo is an understanding person, it is uncertain whether His Majesty falls into the hands of any prince, but in the lord's place, at least it is still a place to settle down." Guo Jia took a sip of hot wine and sighed helplessly.

"What does the master mean?"

"It seems that Xu Du has people who want to use His Majesty to deal with the lord."

"What clues does the master have?" “

"One Heart!" Guo Jia firmly spat out two words from his mouth.

"One heart? The master suspected that His Majesty was cunning at the beginning? ”

"Yes, according to the intelligence, Yixin is the most suspicious. Han Sui's son died under the meat given by the imperial court, and this is definitely not our hand. Judging from the intelligence, it was the people of the royal manor who started it, and their resourcefulness was the same as the original single-mindedness. ”

"So what is Mr. Xun's attitude?"

"If Wen Ruo wants to be a responsible Han Xu Du official!"

"Well, Rui understands, so Rui returns to Xudu this time. It is to eradicate hidden dangers for the middle father! ”

Guo Jia's meaning is very clear. Xun Yu was not going to betray Cao Cao. But for those who oppose Cao Cao and support Liu Xie, Xun Yu is afraid that he will turn a blind eye, although there is no big threat to Cao Cao now, but the water drops are piercing, if it is a long time, I am afraid it will be a big disaster.

"It's good that you understand it, and return to Xudu this time. Lord Sikong will let General Cao Hong lead troops to assist the extraordinary, and the extraordinary must remember that those who are in power must not be merciful! ”

"I understand! So Mr. Xun? ”

"The lord means: Wen Ruo is an important minister of our army, and he has made a lot of contributions. It can be forbidden but not killed, and if you are extraordinary, you still have to treat it according to the teacher! ”

"Rui understands, please rest assured, Rui will definitely investigate the matter of Xu Du."

"Well, it's still winter, so I'm going to return to Xudu. The enemy should be wiped out with the force of thunder, and when the snow melts next spring. Bufan should arrive here with military rations for the purpose of our army's westward advance! ”

"Yes, Rui sees!"

In a mansion in Xudu City, he was reading the roster in his study, which was a list of those loyal to Liu Xie, and Kong Rong's name was ranked first.

"Eighth brother?" Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside the room.

"Second brother? What are you doing here? Didn't you attend the scribes' poetry convention in your hometown? When Yixin saw the old horse coming, he immediately got up.

"Eighth brother, the poetry conference is not interesting, come to Xu Du for my brother to take a look, how are you prepared?" The old horse smiled, pushed open the door, and walked into the study.

"Second brother rest assured, the younger brother will do everything well, everything has been arranged, as long as it is proposed at the New Year's court, our plan will be successful." Yixin smiled, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and came to the old horse's side.

"Eighth brother, you still have to be careful, Cao Cao's staff is not easy to deal with."

"Why can't the second brother trust the younger brother? Now there is less than a month left before the New Year's court, and the second brother will be optimistic by then! He replied confidently to the old horse.

"Well, eighth brother, what's the situation over there in Xun Yu?"

"Second brother rest assured, as the second brother expected, Xun Yu honestly did his part, after the death of Han Sui's son, he launched a routine investigation, caught the killer, and after the killer was executed, Xun Yu closed the case, Han Sui's son died in a romantic affair, and he quarreled with people in the land of flowers and willows, and was killed by revenge."

"It seems that Xun Wenruo is really loyal, as long as it is beneficial to His Majesty, Xun Yu will not interfere." Lao Ma smiled, Xun Wenruo, I didn't expect Cao Jun's Xiao He to have such a weakness.

"Second brother, since Xun Wenruo is loyal to His Majesty, why don't we make more requests?"

"Eighth brother, although Xun Yu is loyal to His Majesty, he is also Cao Cao's staff, and his loyalty to Cao Cao cannot be ignored.

"Humph! Second brother, you are just too cautious, according to the younger brother, we can be bold. ”

"Eighth brother! Needless to say, my brother came to Xu Du to remind you not to be anxious, everything is going according to plan. ”

"Second brother?"

"Eighth brother!" The old horse glared at him, shrank his head, and stopped talking.

"Eighth brother, who is the person we chose this time?" Lao Ma changed his mind and opened the topic.

"Kong Rong!"

"Kong Rong? Hahaha! The eighth brother is a good planner, Kong Rong has a very high reputation, and he is a good candidate, so let Kong Rong open a road for our Sima family! ”

"Second brother, rest assured, the younger brother will definitely open a road for our Sima family!"

"Well, the second brother is very relieved, this matter will be handed over to the eighth brother, the second brother still has important matters, he wants to go to Jingzhou, Xu Du will look at the eighth brother."

"Please rest assured, second brother, the younger brother knows, it will not spoil the big thing of our Sima family!"

Outside the city of Xudu, there was goose feather snow, and Cao Hong waited for Lu Rui in the western suburbs with his guards.

"General, a carriage is coming!" The adjutant general pointed not far away, a group of soldiers were protecting a carriage coming towards Cao Hong.

"This is an extraordinary carriage, let's go, let's catch up!"

"Rui has seen my uncle!"

"You don't need to be polite, but Uncle Wei has been waiting here for a long time."

"It's really the little nephew's fault to keep my uncle waiting, and when the matter of Xu Du is over, the little nephew will definitely bring the wine from the house to visit my uncle."

"Good! I'm just waiting for the great wine. ”

"Uncle, did my nephew prepare the casual clothes that my uncle prepared?"

"Don't worry, it's already ready, after you change your clothes, it will be the caravan of the Cao family clan in Qian County, and you won't be discovered by others when you enter Xu."

"Thank you, uncle!" Then Lu Rui and his party changed into the clothes of the caravan, entered Xudu City, and lived in a manor of Cao Hong.

"Uncle? What are the movements of the imperial court? As soon as Lu Rui settled down, he asked Cao Hong about the situation of Xu Du.

"There is no change in the imperial court, but His Majesty has advanced the annual official selection and assessment, and Lord Xun has no objections."

"The selection and assessment of officials have been advanced?"

"Yes, I heard that it was Kong Rong who wrote the book, and His Majesty approved it, on the grounds that there is a big comment this year." The so-called big appraisal is the large-scale selection of officials and the transfer of officials.

"Thank you, uncle, Rui understands, uncle, where is Berning?"

"Berning has already returned to Xudu, and my uncle will arrange for Berning to come tonight."

"Good! Thank you, uncle! "Man Chong should have found out the real cause of Han Sui's son's death. (To be continued......)
