"Cao Mengde, what do you think I should do so that more heroes can gather under my command and serve me?"

"Returning to His Majesty, decide the way to recruit them according to their preferences, for example, those who like wealth can reward them with wealth, and those who like fame can make a name for them, I believe that His Majesty has been very clear about this, and he is doing well. However, it is not enough to do this, because those who have talent not only have excellent abilities, but some people who have talents will have some various quirks in them, and they do not want or it is difficult to get rid of those quirks, such as some not only love money, but even go to the point of greedy for money. Some people don't just like power, and even some covet it. ”

"You mean to let me indulge these ...... of theirs Mannerism? ”

"Yes and no. The key depends on what your majesty needs. ”

"I feel like I get a little bit of it. Does that mean I need to weigh the pros and cons between the two before making a decision? ”

"That's basically the truth, but Your Majesty should also know that it's a troubled time now, and the most important talent is talent, so as long as it's not a talent that can really threaten you, it's just a little bit of a problem, just bear with it."

"Well, I made a note of it, it's not too early, Aiqing will go to work with military affairs after I have a snack."

"The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's orders."

It's a pity that the snacks of the two people didn't finish and had to stop, and even Liu Xie, who was completely a mascot in military affairs, was alarmed, put down the pastries in his hand and followed Cao Cao out of his tent.

Anyway, it's just sugar for refreshment, and a little more or less doesn't matter.

Under the leadership of Cao Hong, Cao Cao hurried to the place of the incident, and the appearance of the meteor in his stride showed the eager mood of the master at this time.

And this also made Cao Hong look a little embarrassed, because he had to keep up with Cao Cao's pace. He didn't even have time to apologize to Liu Xie, who was walking slowly behind him and had already distanced himself from Cao Cao and Cao Hong-the general who had just broken into Liu Xie's tent was very reckless, if he hadn't shouted that he had an urgent report, Cao Cao's quick rush to the emperor's tent alone would have made Cao Cao very passive, although it would definitely not have caused him any physical harm, but the fine or something would probably make him even more painful.

Rather than rehashing old accounts after the fact. It's better to apologize quickly and expose the matter, but unfortunately it seems that there is no such opportunity at all now.

"Haha, an old friend came to visit from afar, and Cao Mengde couldn't greet him in front of the gate, which is really rude."

Before arriving at Cao Cao's camp, Liu Xie heard Cao Cao's hearty laughter, and he could tell from his voice that Cao Cao's mood was very good, no, even if it was called overexcitement, it might not be an exaggeration.

Who could make Cao Cao show such an expression?

Could it be that Xun Yu came to the front line from Xudu?

It's completely impossible. Liu Xie denied this idea at the first time.

Although Xun Yu's relationship with Cao Cao is very complicated, although this civil official who came to Cao Cao during the low tide period in Cao Cao's life, or during the period of confusion, is destined to not occupy a very special position in Cao Cao's heart like the history of another plane because of the growth of Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and others, but he still relies on his own ability to make him Cao Cao's most relied on right and left hand.

Even now, he has become the only person who can stay behind and command a qiē when Cao Cao goes on the expedition, and in fact, it is true, Cao Cao's heir Cao Ang, with the assistance of Xun Yu, has no careerists who want to rely on Liu Xie to achieve some kind of political goal. Even if Cao Cao led the army to fight on the front line, the rear could still carry out various tasks in an orderly manner. Even because of the "support" from Bingzhou, Xun Yu, who has more experience in people's livelihood work, even has a little extra time to teach Cao Ang, and by the way, he wrote to Liu Xie to talk about some experiences or something.

But it is precisely because Xun Yu is so important that it is impossible for him to leave Xu Du, because it will definitely cause the total collapse of Cao Cao's entire internal affairs system and logistics system, and no one can replace Xun Yu's position. This is true even if it is a few people combined.

He is so dazzling, and the cooperation between him and Cao Cao also allows him to exert all his strength.

Of course, you can also think that the reason for such a result also comes from a certain overweight humanoid butterfly, after all, if it weren't for someone who poached a lot of the backbones of Cao Cao's camp, Xun Yu couldn't find a good helper who could share the pressure in many places. However, Li Shushi absolutely scoffed at such a statement, after all, Xun Wenruo's "clip bag" filled with countless scholars and all kinds of talents was not given for nothing, maybe all kinds of back-ups were not as many as a cow's hair, but they would definitely not be less.

But what can really be in line with Cao Cao's concept and Cao Cao's unprecedented match on brain waves, now only Xun Wenruo is following Cao Cao's side, with Lao Cao's suspicious character, he replaced others to stay behind, I am afraid that he will definitely become the king of Wei who was turned into a tiger by three people.

In fact, in the history of another plane, probably the only one who can break hands with Xun Yu in this regard is Cheng Yu Cheng Zhongde, this fierce man who is fully capable of entering and exiting the phase has either guarded Cao Cao's back road since the Yanzhou period, or blocked the key place, and now in this world, it is often thrown by Li Shushi in the rear to guard Jinyang's lair, and Cheng Yu's courage and style of never being soft when necessary, as well as the help of those intelligence officers left by Jia Xu, Jinyang can be said to be one of the most difficult areas to incite under the rule of the Bingzhou army, it is also an important guarantee that Li Shushi and the generals can fight outside with peace of mind.

Of course, there will be a mistake in Baimi, but after all, a fish like Han Xian who slipped through the net is only a rare case, but even so, it still scared Li Shushi, Xiaoqiang and others, and then made a crazy revenge.

Lifting the curtain of the door, Liu Xie felt that his three views seemed to have been shamefully refreshed again.

Although the two guys in the tent who were clasping their hands and looking at each other with affection looked full of affection, it seemed that the entire tent was full of man's ♂ breath, but when you took a closer look, you found that the person Liu Xie was not familiar with had scattered hair and ragged clothes. The corners of his clothes were covered with foul smell, and the whole person looked wolf.

As for Cao Cao, it made Liu Xie see what is called "actor's self-cultivation" - it was just a short journey, Cao Cao's neat and clean robe when talking to Liu Xie disappeared as if by magic, and the shoes on his feet didn't know where they flew, and they were full of dust. In other words, even if the land in the camp has already been leveled. However, there will inevitably be some stones on the ground that come out of nowhere, as well as small raised stones, and if you step on them quickly, even if you don't guide your feet because of your subconscious movements, the pain caused by the violent impact is definitely not light. But for the sake of this person in front of him, Cao Cao took such painstaking efforts, it seems that the strange wolf bèi person in front of him should have a great background.

"Come on, come on, Rong Cao introduced to His Majesty. This is Xu You, a famous man in Nanyang, but he is not one of those sour and rotten Confucians. It's a talent who is really talented and can stabilize the country. ”

Don't even need Cao Cao's eyes, Liu Xie bowed to Xu You, although it was not a big salute, but as an emperor, even if there is not much majesty in this troubled world, he is still a righteous emperor with a noble bloodline, a theoretically unattainable existence. Being able to have such etiquette is enough to prove that he attaches great importance to Xu You.

Or if Liu Xie really paid a big salute to Xu You. Unless there is another purpose, there is more or less **.

The most important thing is that when Liu Xie gave Xu You a big gift, did he consider the feelings of Cao Cao and his cronies Chen Gong? Even when the wine table is on the table, the height and inclination angle of the glass facing different people are very particular, not to mention these more obvious things.

So overall, Liu Xie's performance can still be evaluated as excellent. And because Cao Cao didn't have time to make a look, it was completely Liu Xie's spontaneous behavior, and he added a lot of points to his expression, at least Xu You looked at the young emperor with disdain in the corners of his eyes because of this courtesy, and he didn't finally understand why an emperor appeared here until now - this was obviously not the previous internal discussion of Yuan Shaojun was completely a mascot introduced by Cao Cao in order to fight against Yuan Shao. And what happened in Xu Du may not simply be blamed on the wisdom of Cao Cao and Chen Gong.

At least Chen Gong was able to have the opportunity to continue to work with Cao Cao in the same hall after betraying Cao Cao, obviously not out of Cao Cao's generosity.

Of course, although Xu You habitually and unconsciously considered Yuan Shaojun, he quickly adjusted his state.

"His Majesty is the lord of a country, and his status is unmatched. I'm just a cloth and grass people, why should I be humble here. ”

"Emperor Guangwu can not care about Yan Guang's offense, so how can I be blamed for saluting Xiancai."

At the same time, Cao Cao also said on the side: "Gong is an old friend, how dare he be a celebrity!" ”

Xu You looked at the emperor and then at Cao Cao, and then burst into tears - this is really not his deliberate acting, after all, as long as he thinks of his killed family, Xu You is really heartbroken, and these tears will naturally not be fake. And with his appearance when he is down now, it is really quite the essence of "a handful of bitter tears".

"I can't choose the master, I stoop to Yuan Shao, I don't listen to my words, I don't follow my plans, I will abandon it to see the old man, and I am willing to include it."

Judging from Xu You's expression when he said these words, the resentment against Yuan Shao in his heart obviously occupied more than sadness.

Although Cao Cao and Liu Xie didn't know what happened in Hebei, they could feel his attitude from Xu You's extremely explicit expression, especially Cao Cao, who had also been with Xu You, and he felt that he knew this old friend better, and he was confident that he would never be mistaken, and Xu You's appearance at this time was definitely not an acting act.

In this way, I am afraid that there must have been a huge change within Yuan Shao's camp, otherwise with Xu Yu's shrewdness, how could he be forced to such a field and come to join Cao Cao's army, which still seems a little weak.

Of course, if it can be determined that Xu You really came to defect, then the most important thing at the moment is what obvious benefits Xu You, as a senior staff officer of Yuan Shao, can bring to Cao Caojun.

Cao Cao, who did not hide his expression of excitement at this moment, immediately asked:

"Ziyuan is willing to come, and the big thing is good! Willing to teach me to break Yuan Shao's plan immediately. ”

After speaking, he looked at Cao Hong on the side, so Cao Hong, who understood it, immediately surrounded this camp tent, and those who were unfortunate enough to hear it were except those who could be trusted. The rest of the unrelated people were immediately placed under house arrest.

Obviously, Cao Hong is also very aware of the importance of Xu You, and the information provided by such a person, and even the fact that he defected to Cao Cao itself is extremely important, and it can be said that Cao Cao's victory in this war lies entirely in this Xu You.

It's just that......

Although it seems that the situation is very good, Cao Hong still has some doubts in his heart. He was not as confident as Cao Cao, he could be sure of Xu You's attitude with just a few glances, so even if the order was very resolute, he still had some hesitation in his heart.

Of course, he was only a general under Cao Cao, and he only needed to carry out orders, and no matter how smart he was, he couldn't compare to Cao Cao - at least for this, Cao Hong was probably the one he knew most clearly in the entire Cao Cao army.

At this time, the dialogue between Xu You and Cao Cao was still continuing.

"I once taught Yuan Shao to raid Xu Du with light horses. And then the first one to attack ......"

Regarding Xu You's statement, Liu Xie's surprise was certainly a true performance, but the look of surprise on Cao Cao's face was completely acting, after all, Xu Duzhi's greatest significance to Cao Cao's army on the front line was only two, one of which was to gather materials from all over the country and then send them to the front line, and the other was because it was the national capital and the residence of the emperor supported by Cao Cao.

But the current situation is. In addition to Cao Cao's soldiers, various supplies could also be supplied from Aocang in Henan. Even if it will make the use of materials on the front line tight, it can still be supported for a period of time after a planned distribution.

As for the second point, it can be said that except for the emperor standing beside him, the rest of the royal family members are no problem at all in Cao Cao's opinion, even if they need to take into account the emperor's thoughts, they can still choose to give up when necessary.

So. Although Xu You's idea is still quite ruthless, it will not have a fatal impact on Cao Cao's army.

The most important thing is that there are fewer careerists who are actually causing chaos in the name of returning power to Liu Xie, or even if there are such people, as long as Liu Xie is still standing by Cao Cao's side, Xun Yu can calmly mobilize Cao Cao's strength to stay in Xu Du. Even if it's not too much, but Yuan Shaojun's light cavalry is like breaking through Xu Du, which is a bit of a fool's dream.

Of course, this can only be said that it is indeed difficult for Xu You's strategy to make Cao Cao lose his lustre, but for Cao Cao's army, such a strategy cannot be taken lightly, after all, as long as the lone army that went deep behind the enemy line gains a firm foothold and successfully cuts off the connection between Guandu and Xu Du in the rear, then the situation that Cao Cao's army has to face will become worse and worse.

If this situation is allowed to happen to the extreme, especially if Yuan Shao again cuts off the connection between Cao Cao's army and Bingzhou, then the situation that Cao Cao's army will face is probably not much better than the dilemma encountered by Zhao Kuo's troops during the Battle of Changping.

"If the traitor Yuan Shao uses Ziyuan's words, then my big man is in danger!" Liu Xie's face was quite ugly at this time, perhaps it was not until this time that the young emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor really realized that even if Yuan Shaojun had such and such problems internally, but the hard power they possessed was higher than Cao Cao's side after all, as long as they took the right decision, Cao Cao's side would still fall into passivity.

Such a result was more or less a blow to the young emperor.

Of course, as Liu Xie, who has basically been in exile since he was born, even though he still looks like a young man, his heart is much more mature and resilient than his face, and even if he is hit, he can quickly adjust back.

For Liu Xie's expression, whether it was Cao Cao or Xu You, they all secretly bowed their heads slightly and expressed their appreciation.

"Meng De, I don't know how much rations you still have in your hands?"

"Even if you use it for another year, it's fine."

Regarding Cao Cao's answer, Xu Yu was noncommittal, but he did not comment, but continued to ask:

"If Yuan Shao captures Aocang, I don't know how long Meng De can support the grain and grass in your hands?"

"More than half a year."

"I'm afraid not."

“…… If all the disadvantages are taken into account, I am afraid that it will only be more than three months. ”

"Mengde's words can't be said to be completely unreasonable, but I have a letter here that I got by chance, and Mengde may be interested in looking at it."

After Xu You finished speaking, he really took out a small oilcloth package from his arms, which was wrapped with a few snow-white papers, but he didn't know whether it was the snowflake paper that the late celebrity Cai Yong used to like the most, which was once all the rage in Luoyang, or the white paper produced in Bingzhou. The paper looks new, indicating that it should have been written recently. There is a very beautiful and strong font on it, and it gives people a flying feeling at first glance, although I don't know who wrote it, but it is conceivable that the person who wrote these words should be a talented young man, probably because such an aggressive font should be from the hands of young people.

Before seeing the content, Cao Cao had a good impression of the stranger who wrote the letter, and after he took the letter and glanced at it casually, Cao Cao, who was originally just appreciative, really changed color.

The face that suddenly became extremely ugly made Liu Xie on the side can't help but shed a little curious expression.

Perhaps in the eyes of the young emperor, perhaps Cao Cao's expression was perhaps the rarest sight to see compared to the content of the letter.

As for Xu Yu on the side, there was a little more smugness on his face. (To be continued......)
