With Cui Yan and Chen Lin taking the lead.

These ministers in Jizhou have recommended themselves.

And Cao Cao's side is also not refused.

For those who surrendered voluntarily, all of them were awarded high-ranking officials.

For those who have offended themselves before, they also laughed it off.

Acting like this can be said to have captured the hearts of these Hebei families in one fell swoop.

There are those who are bold, and they directly recommend their juniors or friends to Cao Cao.

……

Seeing that the Hebei families welcomed him so much, Cao Cao's mouth never closed.

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some people are sad.

Cao Cao was happy here.

But Xun Yu and Xun Yu were not happy.

The reason is simple.

Because the reason why Cao Cao was able to rise is that behind it, it is inseparable from the support of the Yingchuan family.

It can be said that without the support of the Yingchuan family, there would be no Cao Cao today.

But now, Cao Cao's side has just defeated Yuan Shang and obtained Jizhou.

Before the cake of victory was divided, Cao Cao began to get close to the Hebei family.

What does this mean, is it preparing to cross the river and tear down the bridge?

Then contact Cao Cao's previous words to Cao Zhi.

Could it be that Cao Cao was preparing to move his political center to Yecheng?

If Cao Cao moved to Yecheng, then what should Xu Du do, and what should the Yingchuan family do!

Thinking of this, Xun Yu and Xun Yu glanced at each other, and at the same time saw worry in each other's eyes.

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a day has passed.

Wait until Cao Cao has arranged these Hebei families.

At this time, in the main hall, there were only a few strategists such as Cao Cao and Xun Yu.

"Sikong, now that Jizhou has been decided, I don't know when Sikong will return to Xudu!" Xun You said directly.

"Return to Xudu?"

Seeing that Xun Yu said so directly, Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu, saw that Xun Yu was expressionless, and then said:

"Now that Jizhou has been decided, it's not time to go back!"

"Now is not the time, when is the time?" Xun You asked.

"Hmmm......"

Seeing that Xun You was endless, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning and said:

"Although we now occupy Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou are all in the hands of Yuan Shao's son and nephew!"

"If we retreat at this moment, wouldn't it give the Yuan family a chance to make a comeback!"

"You all know that if the people of Jizhou are willing, they will be able to get another 300,000 troops in an instant!"

After saying these words, Cao Cao looked directly at Xun You and said:

"Wen Ruo, you are a sensible person, you should know that in this situation, I can't retreat!"

Xun Yu is the second person in the Cao Group.

At the same time, Xun Yu is also a representative of the Yingchuan family.

Cao Cao directly crossed Xun Yu at this moment and spoke to Xun Yu, his attitude was already obvious.

As for Xun Yu, when he saw Cao Cao directly naming himself, he first sighed, and then said:

"Sikong, Yuan Shao's sons and nephews are all idle people, so don't worry!"

"On the other hand, Xu Du is where the Son of Heaven is, if Sikong does not return for a long time, I am afraid that the ministers will change!"

"Hehe, this is not a concern, Xu Du is the center of Yingchuan County, even if there are people with ulterior motives, with you here, there will be no waves!" Cao Cao laughed.

Immediately, without waiting for Xun Yu to speak, Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and Guo Jia again, and said:

"What do Zhongde and Fengxiao think?"

"This ...... Commonplace! Cheng Yu and Guo Jia hugged their fists.

"Guo Fengxiao, you ......"

Seeing that Guo Jia, as a member of the Yingchuan family, actually supported Cao Cao, Xun You was immediately furious.

"Shut up!" Without waiting for Xun You to continue, Xun Yu immediately stopped Xun You's seizure.

A quarrel that was about to start, because of Xun Yu's restraint, finally dissipated invisibly.

……

As for Cao Cao, he saw that he was only a little tempted.

It caused such a fierce resistance.

He was not in a very good mood about this.

In order to further probe it, Cao Cao suddenly said:

"Today's matter of Zihuan and Zijian, I think several people have seen it!"

"Originally, I didn't have this idea of establishing an heir, but now, since all the sons have grown up, then I can't help but think about it, you think, who should be the heir!"

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out.

Everyone in the hall closed their mouths one after another.

After a long time, Xun Yu spoke:

"This matter is a family matter, and it is inconvenient for me to answer!"

"It's a family affair, but it's also a state affair!" Cao Cao said:

"Qing and the others are the people I trust the most, if you don't say it, then who else can I ask?"

Seeing that everyone was still silent.

Cao Cao whispered a few words to the subordinates beside him.

Immediately, a maid brought two plates of pastries, five each plate, and put them on the table in front of Cao Cao.

In everyone's doubts, Cao Cao smiled:

"The plate of mung bean cake on the left is Zihuan's favorite, and the plate of red bean cake on the right is Zijian's favorite!"

"You've had a hard day today, let's eat some pastries and pads before we go back!"

Speaking of this, seeing that there was still hesitation in the eyes of several people, Cao Cao smiled:

"This house is a little stuffy, I'll go out for a walk first, and after you finish eating, you will leave on your own, don't wait for me!"

After saying this, Cao Cao left the main hall.

Wait until Cao Cao leaves.

Five people in the hall, look at me, I look at you.

In the end, all eyes fell on the two plates of pastries on the desk.

"Hehe, the old man is still in a hurry, so he will leave first, you guys use it slowly!"

As soon as Cao Cao left, Jia Xu left his seat directly and left by himself, completely ignoring the pastries on the table.

"This old horseman!"

Seeing that Jia Xu didn't give Cao Cao face at all, these people couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

However, scolding is scolding, but Xun Yu and a few people can't follow Jia Xu.

After all, Jia Xu is now pursuing his life, which is different from several of them.

Jia Xu could ignore Cao Cao's orders, but they couldn't.

Silence, long silence.

After a while, Cheng Yu took the lead in getting up and walked to the table where the pastries were placed.

Immediately afterwards, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia got up in turn.

Half an hour later.

Cao Cao came back again.

After looking at the remaining pastries on the table, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded.

"This old horseman!"

When he saw ten pastries, he ate only four.

Don't think about it, Cao Cao knows that Jia Xu has no choice.

After all, except for Jia Xu, no one would be so faceless.

For Jia Xu, Cao Cao knows.

The old man had been cautious ever since he followed him.

Especially during the Battle of Guandu, after Cao Pi forced Zhang Xiu to death, Jia Xu was even more cautious.

"That's it, since Jia Xu doesn't want to get involved, then let him go!"

After saying this, Cao Cao saw that the mung bean cake was missing three, but the red bean cake was missing half.

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Sure enough, Feng Xiao still understands me!"

That's right, the red bean cake that was half bitten was left by Guo Jia.

After all, with Xun Yu and others being cautious, they would never make such a frivolous move on such a major matter.

is only Guo Jia, who is intimate with himself, will tell himself his thoughts in this way.

In this case, the attitude of several people at the moment is already obvious.

That is, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu supported Cao Pi;

Guo Jia, on the other hand, supports Cao Zhi.

"It seems that Zihuan is in the Yingchuan family and has won the hearts of the people!"

"However, with Zihuan's character, for the Yingchuan family, most of them are false and wronged, and they retreat step by step, but this is not in the interests of my Cao family!"

"If you only want to control the Central Plains, one Yingchuan family is naturally enough, but if you want to control the entire world, you can't let the Yingchuan family dominate!"

"And the battle for the heirs is the best time to weaken them......"

"Since the Yingchuan family supports Zihuan, then this Hebei family must support Zijian!"

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Come on, go and ask Cui not to drive!" ”
