The guards lined up in a neat line and entered the back garden, replaced the Han army guarding the garden, and very skillfully occupied all the dead corners in the park that might be secretly dormant, and the entire back garden fell into the sight of the guards.

The withdrawn Han troops also quickly lined up in a neat line, and under the guidance of the officers, they left the back garden.

It's just that in an instant, the guards in Xun Yu's house were completely replaced.

Standing at the window, looking at the scene happening in the park, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, and the two shouted almost at the same time: "Your Majesty is here!" ”

Guessing that it was Liu Wei who came to Xun Yu's residence, the two didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly left the room and walked towards the entrance of the back garden.

Before they reached the entrance of the back garden, they saw Liu Wei enter the garden surrounded by Wang Liu, Wang Zhen and more than a dozen guards, and walked straight towards them.

Seeing Liu Wei from afar, the two knelt on the ground side by side, and shouted in their mouths: "The criminal minister doesn't know that His Majesty is coming, and he has missed the distance, and he hopes that His Majesty will forgive his sins!" ”

Seeing that the two of them went out to greet them, and they were still kneeling on the ground and confessing their guilt, Liu Wei walked over to them, and when he got close to them, he stretched out his hands, raised them falsely and said, "Wen Ruo, Zhongde, please get up!" ”

Liu Wei asked the two to get up, and the two thanked them, and then they stood up, stepped left and right, stood aside, bowed and stood, and didn't dare to say more.

"I just heard that the two of you are playing in the inner room, I don't know how to win or lose?" When the two of them got up, Liu Wei did not directly cut the topic to the topic he came to here, but asked them this question lightly.

After glancing at Cheng Yu, Xun Yucai took over Liu Wei's words and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhongde's chess skills are exquisite, and the criminal minister is not his opponent!" ”

Cheng Yu, who was standing on the other side, heard Xun Yu humbly, and he didn't speak, but just lowered his head and didn't say anything.

"The army is fighting in the south and in the north, and my two prime ministers are now one south and one north!" Holding the hands of Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, Liu Wei led them forward, and said to them: "If you wait for a leisurely day, I'm afraid it won't be long!" ”

Liu Wei's words have two meanings.

One of them is that he is in urgent need of talents at the moment, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others, the days of living idle in Luoyang City have come to an end.

Another meaning is to urge them to make a decision as soon as possible, choose to serve the Han court, or continue to observe the festival for Cao Cao.

Led by Liu Wei, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu didn't dare to look at each other anymore, Cheng Yu bowed his head and said: "It has been a long time since the criminal ministers came to Luoyang. Wen Ruo also discussed with the criminal ministers a few days ago, and we are willing to submit to His Majesty and serve the work of dogs and horses for Kuang Fuhan! ”

After listening to Cheng Yu's words, Liu Wei had a satisfied smile on his face and said to him: "Zhongde is like this, I am very pleased. I just don't know what other generals and staff members are thinking? ”

"Don't hide it!" Liu Wei asked about the other generals and staff, Xun Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and everyone is not held accountable, everyone is willing to surrender, but the people of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan still remember Cao Cao's old kindness......"

"It's okay!" When he said this, Xun Yu was also a little apprehensive in his heart, thinking that Liu Wei would be furious because of this, what he and Cheng Yu didn't expect was that Liu Wei not only did not get angry, but said very indifferently: "The Cao family and the Xiahou family were originally related to Cao Cao, and the people of these two clans have a lot of benefits from Cao Cao, if it weren't for the old age, I wouldn't dare to use them!" ”

Liu Wei was so generous, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu hurriedly said in unison: "Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, and the guilty ministers are convinced!" ”

"Majesty!" After praising Liu Wei, Xun Yu said to him: "Before His Majesty recruits everyone, there is still one person who can be recommended to His Majesty!" ”

"Who?" In the early years, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia were both recommended by Xun Yu to Cao Cao, and he said that someone recommended him, Liu Wei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"This person's surname is Sima, and his single name is Yi!" Bowing his head, Xun Yu said to Liu Wei: "This person has been following Cao Cao for a long time, but he has not been reused. The sinner looks at this person, he has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and if His Majesty uses it, he is worthy of a great responsibility! ”

"Sima Yi!" Xun Yu suddenly mentioned Sima Yi, and Liu Wei's eyes really lit up, but thinking of the things he had known, his expression instantly became strange again.

Cao Cao had such a talent, and in the original historical trajectory, his descendants were not able to control Sima Yi, so that the Cao Wei regime was finally controlled by the Sima clan.

For Liu Wei, Sima Yi is nothing more than a good medicine with side effects.

If he is used, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty will fight in the south and the north, and from then on, there will be good ministers to assist them, and the process of recovering the Han will be much faster, so there is no need to say it.

But Sima Yi is not a drama talent, let alone Guo Jia.

He has talent, but he also has ambitions, and once he is not well controlled, he will eventually turn a good minister into a hero.

Thinking of this, the expression on Liu Wei's face changed slightly.

Seeing that the expression on his face had changed, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu both lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything more.

After a little silence, Liu Wei finally smiled on his face, and said to Xun Yu and Cheng Yu: "Then Sima Yizhen has heard of it, and it is said that he is also quite talented. Since Wen Ruo is recommended, he must live up to his reputation, and someone invites him to come, I want to hear his way of governing the world! ”

"No!" Seeing that Liu Bian's face changed slightly, Xun Yu was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but when he heard Liu Bian say that he was willing to listen to Sima Yi's way of governing the world, he hurriedly responded and said to Liu Bian: "Sima Yi lives in the mansion at the end of this street......

"Go and invite Sima Yi!" Without waiting for Xun Yu to finish speaking, Liu Wei gave an order to a group of guards behind him.

One of the guards responded with a fist clenched, turned and exited the back garden.

When the guards left, Liu Wei, accompanied by Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, took Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's hands one by one, and said to them: "Although I don't know the way to play, I also know a little about the skin, Wen Ruo and Zhong De can continue to play, and it also opens my eyes!" ”

"Don't dare!" Liu Wei said that he wanted to see the game between the two, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu didn't dare to say anything, so they accompanied him and walked towards the room where Fang Cai was playing.

Entering the room, Liu Wei stood in front of the table with the chessboard, looked down at the chess game on the chessboard, and asked the two, "Who is holding the white child?" ”

Standing beside him, Xun Yu clenched his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Zhongde holds Baizi!" ”

Nodding, Liu Wei looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard and said: "The white son is aggressive, the black son is in the camp step by step, this game is a good kill!" ”

Hearing Liu Wei praise them for their good killing, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu hurriedly stood aside with their fists in their fists, and neither of them dared to say anything.

"The chess game is like a battlefield, from a game of chess, you can see the way to govern the world!" Pointing to the chess pieces on the chessboard, Liu Wei said: "Although Zhongde is in charge of Baizi, he is the last to come, pressing all the way, thinking that this game is not easy!" ”

Standing beside Liu Wei and hearing him say this, Xun Yu continued: "Your Majesty's eyes are clear, and you will break through the mystery with one word. In this game, Zhongde is pressing step by step, and the criminal is really hard! ”

"The overall situation adopts a conservative trend, but it is a camp step by step, traps everywhere, if Wen Ruo says this, wouldn't it be too humble!" Glancing at Xun Yu, Liu Wei smiled and said: "The two of you are attacking and harvesting, but they are evenly matched, in my opinion, even if there is a result in this game, I am afraid that it is comparable, so it is about the same!" ”

Just looking at the chess game on the chessboard, Liu Wei said such a thing, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu didn't dare to say anything.

Acting under Cao Cao, Xun Yu has always been low-key, unless Cao Cao is unfavorable to Liu Xie, he will fight on the basis of reason, and other times it is not obvious, occasionally this idea is made, but it can turn the situation around and turn Cao Cao into victory.

And Cheng Yu, although his official rank is not high, he is very active in doing things, and Cao Cao also entrusts him with many important things.

Whenever something arranges for Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu will always complete the matter in advance, and he has never disappointed Cao Cao, which also confirms Liu Wei's statement that he is also on the offensive in ruling the world.

"Sit!" After analyzing the chess game, Liu Wei made a gesture of invitation to Xun Yu and Cheng Yu and said, "You two sit down and talk to me about this way of governing the world!" ”

"No!" In response, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu also sat down on both sides after Liu Wei sat down.

As soon as they sat down, Liu Wei asked them, "From the perspective of the two of you, if I want to restore the Han Dynasty, what should I do now?" ”

First glanced at Xun Yu, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Cheng Yu arched his fist towards Liu Wei and said: "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty is declining, and the national strength is declining. After years of war, the people are even more miserable! ”

Listening to what Cheng Yu said, Liu Wei nodded and said nothing.

The surrounding areas of Luoyang, after years of recuperation, are now far away from the war, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the economy is thriving.

But the area a little farther away from Luoyang is not so prosperous.

As for Hebei, Liaodong, and Xiliang, because the area is too vast, it is difficult for the financial resources of the Han Dynasty to be transported to other places, although Liu Wei has also made a lot of improvements, but it has achieved little success.

"Since ancient times, the people have lived on food!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists, Cheng Yu said to Liu Wei: "Nowadays, in many areas in the north, the rivers are not smooth, and the rainfall is low year after year, and many places are not strict ......."

Looking at Cheng Yu, Liu Wei didn't say anything.

He knew that what Cheng Yu said was right, since he won Hebei, Liaodong and other places, what he has been concerned about is the problem of lack of water for cultivation in the north.

He just didn't expect to talk to Cheng Yu about the way to govern the world, and this staff member who had followed Cao Cao in his early years brought this matter up as a key topic.

Seeing that Liu Wei didn't say anything, Cheng Yu continued: "If Your Majesty wants the north to be stable, the first thing to solve is to dredge the river!" ”
