Chapter 221: Marrying Someone Else
"Lu Su? And who? ”
Cao Cao frowned, and all the princes in the palace looked dazed, only Liu Fu, a subordinate of Sikong Mansion, looked as usual.
He took refuge in Yangzhou a few years ago and knows a lot about the customs of Huainan.
Liu Fu then got up and introduced: "Lu Su, Zijing, lost his father at an early age, was raised by his grandmother, this person has a bold personality, a great appearance, knowledgeable, good at riding and shooting, and is quite famous in Jianghuai, I heard that he served as the head of Dongcheng under Yuan Shu..."
Hearing the words "Greatness", Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Xun Yu, and said in his heart that some things are really upside down, but these ministers have a decent life.
What's the use of growing that tall? and do not charge.
Seeing that Liu Fu finished his introduction, Cao Cao and everyone were silent, and Liu Xun continued to add: "In the past, Liu Ziyang was in Lujiang and praised Lu Su for having the talent of the world, otherwise with the ability of Long Xiang, he would not be able to gain a foothold in Hefei..."
"Definitely..."
Cao Cao frowned and shook his head, brushed his beard and said: "There is a talent in the world, if no one makes good use of it, it will also be a pearl, just like Han Xin's unwillingness; Long Xiang can use Lu Su well, which means that he is a capable person, and Long Yun rises after Long? It's kind of interesting..."
"I seem to remember that this 'Zuoshi talent' is Xu Zijiang's comment to Liu Ziyang? He turned around to evaluate Lu Su? Xun Yu turned to confirm with Xun Yu.
Xun You nodded and said, "Maybe the two are friends..."
Seeing the uncle and nephew of the Xun family mentioning Xu Shao, Cao Cao's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to many years ago, and it took a lot of trouble to find Xu Shao to ask for a comment, but the sentence 'the capable minister who governs the world, the traitor of the troubled times,' all like it now.
After coming back to his senses, Cao Cao immediately asked Liu Xun: "Since Liu Ziyang was in Lujiang at the beginning, why didn't Zitai bring him to Xudu?" ”
Liu Xun clenched his fists and replied: "The last general sent troops to the army at that time, and I wanted to take him with him to staff the military plane, but unfortunately he was sick and couldn't travel far, and later Anhui County fell into the hands of Sun Ce, and I don't know if he was arrested and sent to Jiangdong, or exiled elsewhere..."
"Liu Ziyang is a famous man in Huainan, Sun Ce definitely doesn't dare to use force, he should still live in seclusion in Huainan..."
Cao Cao frowned: "The country is at the time of employing people, and the two talents of the world are out, which is really a pearl and dust..."
"Duke Ming, Yan Wen was killed, the position of Yangzhou Assassin Shi was vacant for several months, we should take advantage of the opportunity of Sun Quan and Li Shu to exchange troops, and send a new Assassin Shi to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible, and secretly recruit talents like Liu Ziyang to contribute to the imperial court, but it is best to choose someone who is familiar with the situation in Huainan..."
Liu Xun was driven out of Huainan by Sun Ce, and all his family members were trapped in Anhui County, and he had a gritty hatred for Sun, so he tactfully reminded Cao Cao to choose himself.
Cao Cao bowed slightly after hearing this, and turned around to ask Xun Yu's opinion.
"Wen Ruo, who do you think is suitable?"
"I don't have any candidates for the time being, so please let Ming Gong decide for himself..."
The hall is full of smart people, and Liu Xun's voice can be understood.
Xun Yu selling his face is only one of them, the main reason is that Yan Xiang was recommended by him, but he didn't make a name for himself but was booby-trapped by the villain, and it was a little inappropriate to recommend him again at this time.
Politics is so peculiar, Cao Cao publicly asked Xun Yu to recommend talents, not because he intended it, but because Xun Yu refused in public, otherwise an official position like Assassin Shi would not be discussed in front of people, and the two of them made a decision in private.
What's more, the situation in Huainan is complicated, Yan Xiang lost his head inexplicably, Xun Yu has no need to let others suffer, with his wise mind, he understands that Cao Cao has a candidate at this time, so he pushes the boat down the river to give up the initiative.
Cao Cao comprehended, nodded slightly to Xun Yu, and looked at Liu Xun's expression with relief: "What Zitai said is very true, the new Yangzhou assassin history, you must be familiar with the situation over there... Yuan Ying, it seems that this job belongs to you..."
"Huh? I... I will not be dishonored..."Liu Fu had a flattered expression.
Xun Yu's face was not wavering, and he secretly laughed in his heart that Liu Xun was marrying others, and said in his heart Although you have an old relationship with the lord, Liu Fu is a close minister of the lord and a subordinate of Sikong Mansion, and people are in front of you in terms of seniority.
Seeing Cao Cao's decision, Xun Yu immediately echoed: "Yuan Ying is familiar with the customs of Yangzhou, and it is very suitable for him to serve as the assassin, but Huainan is now a huge force, you must be cautious after you go, and don't repeat the mistakes of the text." ”
Liu Fu bowed down and thanked: "I must not forget Xun Lingjun's advice..."
Xun Yu saw that Liu Fu was sincere, so he couldn't help but remind a few more words.
"It is said that Shouchun is occupied by the thief Kou Meicheng, you have to think about where to set up the governance office, the soldiers have just experienced the Guandu War, and Sikong may be temporarily inconvenient to use troops against Huainan..."
"Hmm..."
Liu Fu nodded in affirmation, and solemnly saluted Cao Cao: "I look at the plan of the prince to raise the tiger just now, the lord seems to be quite interested, if I can get a decree from the imperial court, I have the confidence to ride to Huainan alone." ”
"What kind of edict?"
Seeing Cao Cao's curiosity, Liu Fu explained: "The Sun family has stabilized Jiangdong, and it is impossible to make it between eagerness, if Sun Quan defeats Li Shu to seize the Lujiang River, he will definitely pass through Hefei when he goes north in the future, I plan to set up the governance office in Hefei, hoping that the imperial court can win over Long Xiang and use him to contain Sun Quan..."
"Sun Quan played Long Xiang as the governor of the south of Jiujiang, and Yuan Ying asked me to push the boat down the river?" Cao Cao asked tentatively.
Xun Yu thought for a while, and bowed his hand to offer a plan: "There is no need to follow Sun Quan's wishes, there must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, what is the captain of the south of Jiujiang?" Why not let it be the too shou of Lujiang? ”
"Hahaha..."
Cao Cao smiled happily: "Wen Ruo, but you really have you, with such a scheme, Sun Quan will be suspicious of Long Xiang, and Yuan Ying is just profitable..."
Xun Yu added: "I don't know if Long Xiang and Lu Su are close, Yuan Ying can worship this person as a state official after arriving in Hefei, and slowly empty Long Xiang to seize control of Hefei..."
"Xun Lingjun..."
"What's the matter with Zitai?"
Liu Xun saw that Xun Yu was giving advice to Liu Fu, and he was unhappy and decided to pour cold water on him.
"Long Xiang was very cautious under the command of Qiao Rui, and every time he participated in the war, he did not want to take military merits, but chose to retreat with his whole body, and was jokingly called 'Dragon Run' because of his cowardice.
A few years ago, the main public army besieged Qi County, and I heard that it was also this person who offered a plan to break through, and finally returned to Shouchun smoothly.
"In this way, Long Xiang really has some skills, Yuan Ying should be careful when he goes to Hefei."
Xun Yu smiled and nodded, and simply by telling Liu Fu to be careful, he skillfully defused Liu Xun's offensive.
Cao Cao suddenly realized: "It turned out that it was this bad thing..."
"Meng De, Long Xiang is not only a member of the Qiao Rui Division, but he has such a cunning personality, and he participated in the Battle of Qixian at the beginning, maybe he was the villain who hurt me..."
Xiahoudun covered his left eye, he couldn't forget the arrow.
Cao Cao replied solemnly: "There is also this possibility, we can only wait for Yuan Ying to go to Hefei and then investigate secretly..."
"Hmm."
Xiahoudun nodded in affirmation, turned to Liu Xun to confirm:
"Is Long Xiang loyal to Qiao Rui?"
"It's not just loyalty, it can be said that the master and servant are deeply affectionate, in addition, Yuan Shu died of illness last year, and Qiaorui's family followed Yuan Yin, and on the way to Anhui County, they were picked up by Long Xiang and his troops..."
Halfway through Liu Xun's words, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he added meaningfully: "It is reported that Qiao Rui's two daughters, Miao Ling Guose, should be trapped in Hefei now..."
Xiahoudun listened and wondered, what are you talking about women doing?
Suddenly, he saw Cao Cao's strange expression, and said in his heart, Meng De shouldn't have an idea, right?
Some people died, but not completely......
