Outside the restaurant, two men stopped at the door, and one of them looked up before he walked in. Another man with a sword followed suit, and beside him, a burly man followed closely.

The people who came were Xun You and Cao Cao, and the other one was Xiahou Yuan, who was not seriously injured, and he accompanied him to protect Cao Cao.

Since they met in the General's Mansion, Xun You has become friends with Cao Cao, and the two of them will discuss each other's politics and the situation. After today's meeting was decided, Xun You brought Cao Cao over to let others know him.

He can't be wrong when he looks at people, Cao Mengde, compared to other ministers, has some more things in his bones, referred to as backbone. Whether it was the confrontation in the General's Mansion at the beginning, or the Cao Mengde that Xun You learned about later, they all told him what this person was like.

In the eyes of others, Cao Cao may be a fool, but in Xun You's opinion, Cao Cao is not a fool, but a smart person. Who in the court would be a fool? No, all of them are smart people, very smart, including him.

So when he knew that He Jin's decision was wrong, and when he knew that what he said would make him unhappy, Xun You didn't speak. Not only did he know that He Jin couldn't listen to him, but he also knew the series of reactions that followed, and everyone's reactions, he thought very clearly before he opened his mouth.

But it was Cao Cao who spoke up in that situation, and when everyone was saying good things in the good way, he was the only one who spoke out about the possible danger. Loyal to the ear, knowing that the loyalty is against the ear, he still speaks, this kind of person is not a fool.

He knew that Cao Cao didn't think of the later developments, but he still stood up, didn't perfunctory, didn't do anything superfluous, and directly tore off the skin on the surface, revealing the key points below. It is such a person who makes people admire, and such a smart person is the pillar of the court.

They know that they can change and call for change, they know that they can't do it, it is difficult to change, but they will still do it for good results.

Walking into the restaurant, Xun You suddenly felt the fiery atmosphere in the restaurant, and when he heard the familiar voice, he saw the figure standing on the stool at the table and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Guo Fengxiao, this guy." Xun Yu whispered to himself, and began to look for traces of Xun Yu and the others in the restaurant.

His eyes lit up, and he walked towards the table where Kong Ming and the others were.

"Big brother, wind and rain, Zhongyan."

"Gongda, are you here?" Kong Ming turned his head and stood up as soon as he saw Xun You.

At this time, he had already noticed the man behind Xun You, and he couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and from this man's temperament, he felt a slight difference. Although this person has the temperament of a scholar, it is not real, and what is implied is a strong battlefield aura, standing there, bringing bursts of pressure swept over.

What is even more eye-catching is that it is actually the big man behind the man, who looks like his bodyguard. The big man was completely like a mountain, following behind the man, and after standing still, his eyes kept scanning the inside of the restaurant, like a tiger looking for prey.

When Kong Ming cast his gaze, he seemed to feel something, and the big man also looked at him. In an instant, the cold hairs stood on end, and a chill was born from the heart. There was only a moment for people to think that this would be an illusion, but the real feeling just now was something that Kong Ming would not doubt.

Master! Kong Ming didn't think that he could go through a few rounds under this big man, and all of them added up were not enough for this big man to fight and destroy. With such a powerful guard guarding, then the identity of that man should also be a noble person, and he will never be ordinary.

"Who is this?" Kong Ming asked.

"This is my friend I met in Luoyang City, Cao Cao, who is currently a military captain, Cao Mengde." Xun You introduced Cao Cao's identity to Kong Ming.

Cao Cao!

Kong Ming's pupils shrank and he looked at Cao Cao again. As he looked over, Cao Cao smiled at him, an extremely gentle smile.

No matter what, Kong Ming didn't expect that this person would be Cao Cao. For this so-called traitor in the troubled times in later generations, Kong Ming has always been curious, even with some inquiry. After all, the later Jin Dynasty actually relied on Cao Wei's foundation, and the root and founder of everything was Cao Cao!

If Cao Cao was still alive at that time, Sima Yi would never have been able to do the things that followed, let alone his sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, as well as Sima Yan, who later became emperor. You don't see it, even if it is as strategic as Sima Yi, when Cao Cao is still alive, he can only be a good courtier honestly, he was played with by Cao Cao in the palm of his hand, and he was almost killed by Cao Cao once!

Cao Wei's defeat was defeated in the absence of success, and after Cao Pi, there were almost no more talents in the Cao family, and then those things that came later would appear. As for Sima Yi, he still used that old method, boiling.

He didn't need to fight with Cao Cao, he didn't need to fight with Cao Pi, he was still one of the ministers when Cao Pi was in power. But if it continues, Cao **, Cao Pi is also dead, and his opportunity will come.

Therefore, it is a worm or a dragon, and under Cao Cao's control, he has to do certain things according to the position given to him. In terms of ability ranking, Cao Cao's ability is enough to be called the first person among those princes in the Three Kingdoms. Commanding a leader can also fight, commanding an army can also do it, the strategy is not bad, isn't this what is omnipotent?

"Brother Mengde." Kong Ming gave up.

Cao Cao set his eyes on Xun Yu with an inquiry.

"This is my classmate, Kong Ming, wind and rain."

"Brother Fengyu." Cao Operation.

Next, he got to know Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu respectively, and finally sat down.

Seeing Cao Cao's treatment of people, Kong Ming also had to say that success is really not without reason, this kind of approachable attitude is not something that ordinary people can do. Replaced by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the children of the family, should now have their nostrils facing the sky, and they left with their sleeves brushed.

It is not excluded that Cao Cao already knew Xun Yu's identity, but when facing Xi Zhicai, who was obviously a son of a poor family, he did not have any abnormalities from beginning to end. It is no wonder that Xi Zhicai chose to assist Cao Cao from the beginning, and when he was about to die, he recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao.

In this period when everything has to be about family background and origin, Cao Cao's attitude is rare.

Kong Ming really has the intention of investing in Cao Cao's command, after all, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai are all under his command, and they are all in the same vein as Yingchuan, so naturally it is impossible for them to be enemies of each other. Although during this period, many families would bet on both sides, but he was essentially a player, so why bother with too much?

Kong Ming secretly admired the excitement of fate in his heart, but he didn't expect to meet Cao Cao so early. Will there be sparks? There is no doubt about this, with Cao Cao's background, current official position, and the bearing he shows, there will be no problem with Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia and his assistant.

Poor children, how can it be so easy to get ahead? is as strong as Guo Jia, and there are too few people who can use their talents.

Don't mention Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and others. The former couldn't even control the strategists under his command, so he was stubborn and self-serving, and later simply played the trick of killing strategists. The latter is also extremely important, after all, he also gave himself the title of King Jing of Zhongshan! This is not only true for strategists, but also for military generals, if Zhao Yun runs to Cao Cao's command, with his bravery, it is possible to command the tiger and leopard cavalry!

"Good!" There was a roar of applause in the restaurant, accompanied by a series of applause.

"By the way, how did this guy Fengxiao talk about books?" After Xun You sat down, he looked towards Guo Jia.

"What else?" Kong Ming picked up the teapot and poured Cao Cao a cup of tea.

"This guy will do anything to drink!"

Xun You showed a look of surprise, thinking of Guo Jia's style and his previous days in Yingchuan Academy, he also had to admit that sometimes Guo Jia's guy is indeed very tricky. Ghost ideas one after another, unguardable, in the words of their master, this is called a ghost, people are like ghosts!

He probably also knew why Guo Jia was talking about books, it must be the eldest brother and Kong Ming, and the three of them started their plan to quit drinking again. But Guo Jia, starting from Yingchuan, including the alcohol withdrawal programs he participated in, has not succeeded once.

Sometimes Xun You really doubted that if Guo Jia was allowed to be a strategist and hide his favorite wine in the enemy's sphere of influence. What kind of storm of blows will the enemy usher in?

Cao Cao also listened to Guo Jia talking with great interest, and when he heard it, he couldn't help nodding his head. To his ears, Xun You's classmates said very well, whether it is from the narration of the story or the plot, it belongs to the very attractive kind, which makes people unconsciously substitute into the story.

If you want to change it to when he was young, wandering around Luoyang City, if he heard such a wonderful story, he would also stop, listen to the story of the day, and call it a good day. Although he is still very young, he already feels a sense of urgency in his heart, and if he doesn't hurry up a little, he will be old and may not be able to complete the ambition in his chest.

Among the people present, he only knew two people, one was Xun Yu, and the other was Xun Yu. Yingchuan Xun family, that is a big family, protégés and old officials are all over the world, and the eldest grandson of the family appeared here, he was surprised enough.

For others, he also felt the same curiosity and gave the same respect. After all, not anyone can be friends with the children of the Yingchuan Xun family, and they are also from the same family.

The name of Yingchuan Academy, he has also heard of it.
