Xu You came, this once good friend, now Cao Cao's important minister, Xu Ziyuan's arrival, made Guo Tu afraid and frightened.

I'm afraid, naturally because this identity belongs to the enemy, if it is found out that he communicates with the enemy, I am afraid that he will be guilty of a heavy crime.

Surprised, why did this person come to him? Could it be that it is with some kind of mission?

With a hint of curiosity and nervousness, in the backyard of the mansion, Guo Tu saw Xu You, who had been carefully dressed.

At this moment, Xu Yu was dressed as a businessman, and a long beard was pasted on top of the fake beard, which made it look like the whole person had changed a lot, and Guo Tu also took a careful look at it, and then recognized this person.

"But Brother Ziyuan? Why do you dress up like that? Seeing that the comer was sure that there was no doubt about it, Guo Tu asked curiously.

"Hehe, Brother Gong Ze is asking knowingly, you know that I am doing things for King Wei now, how can I not dress up well when I come to Jinyang City." Xu You, who was laughing, looked at Guo Tu in a green official robe at this moment: "Brother Gongze, it seems that your life is not satisfactory now." ”

The matter of the restructuring of the officials of the Celestial Empire can be said to be well known to everyone in the world. The rank of the official can be seen from the color of the official robe, and this matter is not a secret.

Noticing that Xu You's gaze did not leave the color of his official robe, Guo Tu sneered: "What? Brother Ziyuan, did you come to see my jokes? ”

Guo Tu was a little displeased, Xu You thought in his heart, but he was just a fourth-grade official, what to pretend. It's just that he said: "Where is it, how can I see Brother Gongze's jokes." To be honest, I'm not worth it for the sake of the public. ”

"Not worth it? Why? When he heard this, Guo Tu's heart inevitably beat violently, and he seemed to have guessed Xu You's intention.

"Hey, with the ability of the public brother, how can he be just a mere fourth-grade civil official? If you want me to say, even if you become a first-class minister like Guo Jia and Lu Su, you are fully qualified. Xu Yu said with a long sigh.

This sentence can be regarded as speaking to Guo Tu's heart. He thinks that he is a talented person, the founding of the Celestial Empire, even if he can't become a first-grade civil minister, but it is still qualified to be awarded the second-grade rank, just like Tian Feng, frustration and trial match at the same time as him, aren't they all second-grade civil officials? Now it's good, it's not even a third grade, it's reduced to a fourth grade, not to mention, it's still the kind of four products that have no real power. seems to be inferior to other county guards and four grades, which makes him, who has always been arrogant, how can he accept it?

For this matter, he has always felt like he has a thorn in his heart, which is also the main reason for his passivity.

Even sometimes he couldn't help but think, if he didn't follow Yuan Shao to vote for Zhang Chao, but followed Xu You to Cao Cao, would it be better? Thinking of this, he asked, "Brother Ziyuan, I don't know how you are with Cao Gong?" ”

"Hehe, Cao Gong is very good to me, although there is no clear rating over there, but I have indeed been reused after I went there, and many important things have to be discussed with me, which can be described as inexhaustible glory and wealth." When Xu You said this, he had a smug look on his face.

To say that Xu Yu has indeed been reused since he went to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will discuss many important things with him. First, he is indeed a talent, but his character is not very good. Second, the number of famous advisers in Cao Cao is not very large, and he has always wanted to deal with Zhang Chao, and Xu You is the connection point that can best contact the original Jizhou talents, so he has been burying this move, waiting for the time to be available.

Now that the news of Zhang Chao's disappearance suddenly came out, Cao Cao knew that this time was the time to use this person, so he arranged for him to rebel against Yuan Shao's subordinates. At the time of Zhang Chao's absence, if someone rebelled, he would definitely give the Celestial Empire a heavy blow internally, so that it could effectively cooperate with his frontal attack on the battlefield.

After Xu You said these things with a proud face, he thought of Cao Cao's promise when he came, saying that if he could rebel against the old Yuan Shao and give the Celestial Empire a heavy blow, then he would be a great hero, and after returning to Wei, he would be added to the rank and knight, and he would be rewarded with gold and silver.

Thinking that after he went back to become a hero, he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and when Xu You looked at Guo Tu, he had a look of anticipation. This person is not happy now, and it is a good time to rebel, and it is not difficult to complete this matter.

When Guo Tu listened to Xu You talk about the situation in Cao Cao's place, he really showed a look of envy on his face, "Oh, Brother Ziyuan, you are too uninteresting, why didn't you call me when you went to Cao Gong's place?" ”

Listening to Guo Tu's complaints, Xu You sneered in his heart, I'm afraid that if that situation calls you, you won't be with me. It's just that he really won't say this now, but said: "Oh, Brother Gongze, I was forced to do things at that time, so I naturally didn't think about it as thoroughly." It's just that I've always kept it in my heart about Brother Gongze, no, after I stand firm, I'll risk death to see you. This actually has my meaning and Cao Gong's meaning. ”

"What does Gong Cao mean?" Guo Tu heard that Xu You's coming was arranged by Cao Cao, and couldn't help but ask expectantly.

"Naturally, I hope that Brother Gongze can be attached, and he will reuse it when the time comes." Xu Yu said as Cao Cao spoke.

Hearing that Cao Cao was going to reuse himself, Guo Tu had a happy expression on his face at this moment, but at the same time, he thought that there were some conditions for this attachment. Then he asked out loud again, "Then I don't know what Gong Cao needs me to do?" ”

Xu You was naturally happy to see Guo Tu so knowledgeable, but he still said with an expression of indifference, "Gong Cao values the talent of Brother Gongze, as long as Brother Cao goes, there will be high-ranking officials and Houlu to accompany him, as for other people, there are no requirements." ”

Hearing that there was no request, Guo Tu was even more grateful. But then I heard Xu You say: "It's just that Brother Gong Ze doesn't want to appear in front of Gong Cao like this, if you want to be reused, you still need to do something big, so no one in Wei will comment on Brother Gong Ze." ”

"Yes, yes, something is going to be done." Hearing this, Guo Tu also nodded to himself and said. If he didn't go to Wei for any merits, even if Cao Cao took a fancy to him and allowed him to be a high-ranking official, it was inevitable that others would say something unpleasant. But if you can make meritorious contributions, it is indeed completely different, and when the merits are there, others will not be able to say anything.

Seeing Guo Tu like this, Xu You smiled and said, "Brother Gongze, the so-called opportunity is rare." Now that Zhang Zhiyuan has disappeared, the Celestial Empire is a time when people are panicking, and this is also the best time to make contributions. ”

"Yes, yes, I want to do it." Guo Tu kept nodding, and then fell into deep thought.

Next, under Xu You's persuasion and reminder, Guo Tu decided to pull a few people to defect to Cao Cao, firstly, to increase his status, and secondly, to prove his ability. Of course, in addition to this, he also wanted to do a big thing, a big thing that would allow him to go to the Wei State and establish himself as an important minister.

It's just that this matter is too important, and Guo Tu himself doesn't have the confidence to complete it, so he needs to use the strength of others to do it together. After consulting with Xu You, he went to Xin Ping, Xin Bi and Chen Lin's mansions with his name stickers.

These three people are all former Jizhou people, and they have had a friendship with Guo Tu, and the relationship has always been good, and finding these three people is also a sign of Guo Tu's caution.

Among them, the Xin Ping and Xin Bi brothers have always been good friends with Guo Tu, and the three of them surrendered to Cao Cao together in history. The remaining person, Chen Lin, who once scolded Zhang Chao, should also be a person who is easy to woo, it can be said that Guo Tuxuan of these three people is indeed prepared.

After the three of them received Guo Tu's name sticker, they got up and came to Guo's mansion, and in the side hall, the four of them met.

Seeing the three people who came in a hurry, Guo Tu looked proud. If these people can follow them to Cao Cao, it will be enough to prove that they still have appeal, and this can be regarded as a meritorious achievement.

"Brother Gongze, I don't know what I mean by asking me to come." As soon as Xin Ping, the eldest of the Xin brothers, sat down, he asked Guo Tu.

Everyone is regarded as a subordinate of Jizhou, and because of this, it is necessary to pay more attention to ordinary contact. If it weren't for Guo Tu's intentional invitation, it would have been rare for them to gather here.

"Hehe, three brothers, I called him here for his own purpose. It's just that before getting down to business, there's one more thing I want to ask the three of you, how do you feel about the situation in the DPRK today? Guo Tu didn't answer Xin Ping's question right away, but changed his voice, wanting to hear their analysis of the situation in front of him.

I don't know why Guo Tu asked this, but out of usual trust, Xin Ping, who was asked, raised his head and replied after a little silence: "The emperor has disappeared without a trace, the eldest prince is in charge of the country, and the situation is unknown." ”

"Yes, the prince is still young, not so much that he is in charge of the country, not so much that Lu Su has the final say, and this person has never paid much attention to us, the old ministers of Jizhou, I am afraid that our life will only be more difficult in the future." Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Bi also followed his brother's words at this moment.

"Okay, what the two brothers said is very true. Zhang Zhiyuan is missing, the situation in the Celestial Empire is turbulent, and I am afraid that very important changes are likely to occur. And we are in the whirlpool, and it will be difficult to get out of it. After Guo Tu listened to the words of the Xin brothers, he nodded in agreement.

"So what?" After listening to Guo Tu's words, the Xin brothers also asked a little anxiously. This is a matter of their lives, but they can't be careless.
