It was noon when he left the palace, and Xu Yang did not go back to his accommodation directly, but tossed and turned several times and drank in a restaurant with a good environment.

This restaurant is not under Shi A's control, and Xu Yang didn't want to use Shi A's line when he came to Luoyang this time. Now that Luoyang City is surging, the premature exposure of the relationship with Shi A is likely to affect the development layout of Mingyue City in the future, so Xu Yang just chose a seemingly ordinary restaurant - Tianxiang Building. That's right, it sounds a little bit like a Fengyue place, but this is indeed a restaurant with a good environment in Luoyang.

Throwing a gold ingot out, Xu Yang swaggered up to the single room on the third floor. It is said that it is a single room, but in fact, it is a screen partition, and some small sliding doors are convenient to enter the small room, and the sound insulation between each room is not good - because there is a woman who plays music on the third floor, and this arrangement is also so that everyone can wash away the dust and listen to the pleasant sound while enjoying the food.

Before facing the saint, Xu Yang could say how low-key and low-key Luoyang was. Now that he has figured out what Emperor Han Ling wants to do, there is no need to be so low-key, because Xu Yang was ordered to select talents and help Emperor Han Ling complete a military exercise, so as to beat the carried away general He Jin.

Just when Xu Yang had nothing to do to feast and drink, Chen Gong and Gao Chong arrived as scheduled.

"Gongtai, how are things going over there?" Seeing Chen Gong and Gao Chong's expressions, Xu Yang had already guessed a thing or two, but he still asked steadily.

Chen Gong didn't answer directly, but looked at Gao Chong beside him and said, "This matter is up to General Wenyan, and Gong is just assisting from the side!" ”

Gao Chong threw a grateful look at Chenggong and replied respectfully: "Return to the lord, this morning I asked to see Cao Cao from the side gate of Cao's mansion with Gongtai and Gongtai in disguise with the lord's token, and Cao Cao really saw the two of us as Gongtai expected." The two of us explained their intentions, and Cao Cao immediately said that he would arrange a follow-up meeting with the general. Everything is as expected by the public station, it is really amazing......"

Speaking of Chen Gong's strategy, Gao Chong explained Cao Cao's every action in detail, and even some expressions were not much different from Chen Gong's expectations. Xu Yang admired Chen Gong even more in his heart when he heard this, such a strategist can't run away, he must find a way to completely bring Mingyue City closer.

"It's just that the lord, Mr. Gongtai, there is one thing I don't understand!" As he spoke, Gao Chong suddenly said a little depressed.

"Oh? What's the matter, let's talk about it! Chen Gong asked Gao Chong with a look of me already knowing the answer.

To say that Gao Chong's IQ is not low, but in front of a strategist like Chen Gong, he really can't pay attention. There is no way to do this, after all, the gap between people is often compared!

Gao Chong touched his head helplessly and said, "Then Cao Cao is the grandson of Cao Teng, and he can be regarded as the queen of eunuchs." In comparison, Yuan Shao, who was also under He Jin, was born in the fourth world and the third duke, with a prominent family background, and he was even more disgusted with eunuchs. But why did Gongtai insist on seeing Cao Cao today instead of Yuan Shao, I originally thought it would take some effort today, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth, this ...... Isn't the public station aware of any secrets, or is it unpredictable? ”

"Hahaha......" When Gao Chong asked this, Chen Gong immediately laughed, and even Xu Yang on the side was a little crying and laughing.

Gao Chong's master is the Purple Void Master, that is a person from outside the square, if you want to say that the Purple Void Master has the ability to predict the future, he must have it. But at this time, Gao Chong felt that Chen Gong had such a ability, which was really a bit ironic.

"Wenyan, this thing is not as you think. I don't have any prophetic abilities, I just know a little about Cao Cao and Yuan Shao! Chen Gonglang smiled and explained, "You must know that although Cao Cao is a eunuch, he is filial piety at the age of eighteen, and later because of Cao Teng's relationship, he was promoted to the captain of Luoyang City, and set up a five-color rod to deter the nobles of the Luoyang court...... It can be said that a person with ambition is willing to be resigned to the reputation of an official eunuch? ”

As for Yuan Shao, although he is the third prince of the fourth generation, he has been disgusted with eunuchs and others for a long time. But the more this is the case, the more Yuan Shao knows the great ability of this eunuch, and the more he is restrained by his actions, which also restricts his uncle Yuan Kui. After all, the more-for-tat, the more you understand the difficulties of your opponent, and the more you understand your opponent, the more cautious you are. In addition, although Yuan Shao's people are young, they are not as bold as Cao Cao, and they are hesitant to do things, and Cao Cao's advantages in this matter are far greater than Yuan Shao's! ”

Listening carefully to Chen Gong's analysis of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Xu Yang really admired it. Chen Gong did not have the history of his descendants as a reference, but only some rumors he had heard about the two of them, and he was able to grasp the personalities of the two so accurately, I have to say that this is really the best embodiment of personal ability.

Now that the bureau has been laid out, the rest depends on whether Cao Cao's side is powerful. The three of them sat in the restaurant chatting and drinking, listening to music that was quite pleasant, which could be described as relaxed and comfortable, but there was one person who was not as relaxed as them - that was Huang Zhong!

Xu Yang turned around several times after leaving the palace, and the reason why he was able to smoothly get rid of the people who were tracking behind him was that he relied on Huang Zhong to exchange identities with him and used this golden cicada shelling strategy. Now Huang Zhong was wearing Xu Yang's outfit in Luoyang City, aimlessly sneaking away the people who were following him.

Don't think that you didn't know when you quietly entered Beijing, this is Luoyang, the imperial capital, and Xu Yang also entered the palace to face the saint, at this time it can be said that many people with a heart already know that His Majesty secretly summoned the champion Hou. This naturally includes our great general, Lord He Jin, who was originally enjoying himself in the palace when he heard that His Majesty the Emperor had secretly summoned this Han champion Hou, and immediately summoned his various generals and advisers.

"I guess you already know! Just this morning, His Majesty secretly summoned the champion Hou, it is not clear what His Majesty means by this move, let's talk about their opinions first! "Although He Jin was born as a butcher, he has been sitting in the position of the general for two years, and the momentum of the general is still full.

In the main hall, the subordinate generals knew the news, and some had just heard about it, but when He Jin, there was an uproar below! The Han Dynasty champion Hou Ke is not only a feudal official, but also a powerful minister with the right to open the government and set up accounts, to put it bluntly, since the opening of the Han Dynasty, except for Wang Hanxin, who has a different surname, others have not had this treatment at all, such a heavyweight entered Beijing, which can't help but make the generals and strategists below not pay attention to it.

"General, Your Majesty's secret edict champion Hou Jinjing, isn't he going to trap and kill under the palace walls?" A general in bronze armor was the first to stand up and speak.

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him with contempt. Get rid of this big brother, although you are a staff general, many times you act according to orders, but you don't have to be so brainless! Let's not talk about His Majesty's purpose of killing this champion Hou, if you really want to ambush and kill the palace wall, shouldn't the news we get now be the news that the champion Hou died violently in the palace, what about your brain, this classmate?

However, for such a stupid question, He Jin did not criticize this person, because this person is the brother of a concubine of He Jin, although he has no ability, but he is obedient, and he is a very good dog!

"Luo Li, you step back first and listen to what the others have to say!" He Jin rubbed his head, but just waved his hand to the next one.

In this regard, Luo Li did not have any frustration, but looked at everyone with a smug face. That means you see, I'm the first to speak, I'm amazing!

As soon as Luo Li's funny appearance ended, the other generals began to speak, and there were various speculations about His Majesty's summoning of the champion Hou Jinjing. Some think that His Majesty wants to pay the Yellow Turban in the north of Youzhou lightly, because there are still a large number of lords and factions in the court, so they are secretly summoned, and the two discuss the matter secretly; Some people also think that the champion Hou quietly entered Beijing, I am afraid that it is related to the riots in Xiqiang, Xiongnu and other places, and the champion Hou has made great achievements, and it is not impossible to pacify Xiqiang and other places......

In general, these generals gave different explanations, basically where there was a problem in the border under the rule of the imperial court, they pointed to it, saying that His Majesty's secret edict to declare the champion Hou was to quell the rebellion. As for why it is a secret edict, it may be that His Majesty intends to attack him unprepared, or he is afraid that someone in the court will hinder him. For these statements, He Jin is a head and two big, and He Jin is not good at analyzing the situation, after all, this big man is not a pig in the world, and he is good at killing pigs......

"Enough, quiet!" The constant speculation below eventually turned into a quarrel, and when the generals and strategists of all parties insisted on their own words, and when they were red-faced, He Jin slapped the table and shouted, "You are so noisy one by one, it is really impossible for me to be a vegetable market in the general's mansion!" A few of you, didn't you just say that Your Majesty intends to raise troops to fight against the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, have you found that there has been a large-scale use of grain, grass and silver in the treasury recently? The detailed work of the Yangzhou side has reported that there is a change in the champion Hou troops......"

He Jin himself didn't know why, as soon as he opened his mouth to scold these subordinates, his thinking actually began to become clear. I have to say that this kind of brainstorming is really useful, and if you want to use the army, you must have a large-scale mobilization of food, grass and military materials, how can you, a great general, not have a little rumor! Even if the champion Hou family has a great cause, these things don't need to be released by the imperial court first, so at least there will be some signs of mobilizing the army!

Since none of these signs have appeared, there must be something else going on with Hou Jinjing, the champion this time. Hou Hejin still has a certain vigilance against this champion, and this person has been rising with his many rebellion exploits. On the surface, he is good friends with Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others, and he is a real pragmatist. And the reason why He Jin is really wary of him is that this champion Hou seems to have never been stopped by the Ten Standing Servants - that's right, what kind of person is the Ten Standing Servants, as long as it's not them all the way, they will disgust you, but this Champion Hou is not among them.

And the contradiction between Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others and the ten permanent servants is well known, it can be said that this champion Hou was able to climb to today's height smoothly without offending in two steps, if He Jin didn't even have this vigilance, it would really be better to go back and kill pigs.

was drunk by He Jin like this, and the generals below immediately became quiet one by one. At this moment, a guard suddenly came to report outside the door: "General, Cao Cao, the captain of the West Garden, is now outside the door asking to see you!" ”

"Cao Apu? What did he do after this eunuch? Hearing that it was Cao Cao who was out asking to see him, He Jin said with some displeasure on his face.

Although Cao Cao is his influence in the Eighth Lieutenant of the West Garden, all the generals who attended today's meeting are confidants. After all, after Cao Cao was a eunuch, He Jin still had considerable reservations about him because of this identity.

"Back to the general, Lord Cao said that there is something important to discuss with the general, and it is related to today's affairs in the palace!" The soldier replied respectfully.

The soldier's answer made He Jin and the others in the house look surprised, this Cao Cao is a little deaf in the palace, but he came to visit when everyone was discussing this matter, and this time had to surprise everyone. This Cao Cao is definitely deliberate, he is showing his strength and explaining to everyone that he Cao Cao is also going to enter this circle. You have a small meeting to call me so I can share my news!

"Let him in!" Although He Jin doesn't like Cao Cao very much, it is related to today's affairs in the palace, except for the champion Hou quietly entering Beijing, what else can he do!

Cao Cao, who was dusty, walked into the hall, and immediately said after seeing the salute: "General, Cao is here to bring news about the champion Hou, this matter is very important, please let your lord retire from irrelevant people!" ”

Mockery! He Jin looked at Cao Cao's eyes and was already angry, you are here to mock this red fruit. You came over while we were in a meeting, interrupted the meeting and showed off yourself, so I won't talk about it, but you came in and said that there were unrelated people there? Which one of the people sitting in this room is not more relevant than you, why did you become irrelevant to these people when you came?

Cao Cao saw the displeasure on He Jin's face clearly, but he continued in a calm tone: "Before the champion Hou entered the palace, he sent someone to the lower mansion and dragged the important news to the general. The man was holding the champion Hou Yinxin, and he had repeatedly emphasized that this matter was of great importance and could not be passed on to the sixth ear! ”

Rumble!

Now the pot was fried in the hall, and all the generals and strategists showed anger on their faces, and even sat there and scolded Cao Cao for not distinguishing between dignity and inferiority, and there was no one in his eyes...... Some even began to ridicule Cao Cao by throwing out Cao Song's recognition of Cao Teng as his father in anger, although Cao Cao was unhappy with such words, he was extremely calm on the surface. A pair of calm and deep eyes quietly looked at the general He Jin on the main seat, patiently waiting for his answer.

He Jin, who was sitting precariously, showed a struggling look on his face, although these generals present were nominally his henchmen, in fact, it was more that these guys were okay with sycophants, and they were more doggy. But the matter in front of him is likely to be related to the champion Hou Jinjing, which makes him have to be cautious.

"Ahem...... Since it was the champion Hou who had secret news to bring him, then Meng De would follow me to the back hall to talk, and all the generals would wait here! After He Jin finished speaking, he walked straight from the side door to the back hall.

Cao Cao followed behind him in the resentful eyes of a group of people and walked into the back hall together.

The two of them went to the back hall and didn't even follow the entourage, and the group of participants waited for an hour above the lobby. There is no way, the general didn't say that they couldn't leave after the meeting, but when they thought of Cao Cao, who was now in the back hall and the general had a secret meeting, they were really angry in their hearts!

An hour later, He Jincai walked out of the back hall with a smile on his face, and Cao Cao seemed to have become his confidant, and the two were only half a distance apart, and walked out front and back!

"Alright, that's it for today! The generals have worked hard today, so let's go home and rest! After coming out, He Jin smiled loudly.

The generals who had been waiting in the hall for an hour were really angry and about to explode, but they couldn't help the generals here. left one by one, but a few people stayed behind and did not leave directly. Among them, there is a person with a majestic figure, brave posture, and a handsome smile, looking at Cao Cao with a smile on his face, this person is none other than Cao Cao's good friend - Yuan Shao.

"Originally, you haven't left yet. Tomorrow night, you come to my house lightly, we have something important to discuss with the champion Hou......" Seeing that it was Yuan Shao and a few more close people who had not left yet, He Jin said at this time.

"What champion Hou himself?" Although he had guessed that the champion Hou might have the idea of getting closer to the general, but when he really heard that it would be the champion Hou himself tomorrow night, Yuan Shao still couldn't believe it.

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao, who was a little surprised, not to mention how happy he was in his heart. From childhood to adulthood, Yuan Shao has played with him until he grew up, but he has been pressing himself, relying on nothing more than that their Yuan family is superior, and Yuan Shao often ridicules Cao Cao as a eunuch.

"It's the first brother! This morning, when the champion Hou entered the palace, he photographed his cronies and generals coming to the mansion, expressing his hope to make friends with the general. And just above the back hall, I conveyed all the intentions of today's champion Hou to the general......" Cao Cao said with an extremely proud look on his face.

You must know that although Cao Cao nominally took refuge in the side of the general He Jin, it is not difficult to see from the fact that he was actually excluded from the core by not calling him at such a small meeting just now. But this time with the relationship between the champion Hou, then things are different, from a certain point of view, He Jin wants to get closer to the champion Hou, so he has to weigh Cao Cao's weight, which can be regarded as Xu Yang unintentionally did a good thing for Cao Cao.

"General...... It is good for this champion to express kindness, but will we anger Your Majesty when we meet him like this? Thinking that the champion Hou was secretly entering Beijing and contacting He Jin through Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was very unhappy, and he could only express his dissatisfaction with tomorrow's events.

He Jin smiled at this and said, "Haha, you were too careful at the beginning...... Tomorrow night's events are known only to a few of us, so how can His Majesty know? Didn't you want to ...... in the first place."

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's all up to the general......" As soon as he heard that He Jin had made up his mind, Yuan Shao could only give up and wait for tomorrow's dinner.
