A day later, at Xun You's home, Cao Wu saw three strategists.

Xun You did not have a position in the imperial court, but was only Cao Cao's staff, but he had a close relationship with Cao Cao and was the mastermind of Cao Ying, so his status was very high.

But to Cao Wu's surprise, Xun You's home was very simple.

Cao Wu has entered the mansion of Xun Yu's uncle Xun Yu, Xun Yu's family meets all the impressions of the strongest contemporary person in a family, and it does not look magnificent on the outside, but when you study it deeply, every courtyard and every arrangement are very elegant.

But Xun You's family is different, he seems to have spent all his energy on giving advice to Cao Cao, but he is not very good to himself, and he can almost be regarded as a disciple.

said that it was a banquet, but in fact, the wine and food were very simple, and the only maid in Xun You's family served the dishes, put a small plate on each of the four people's cases, and then withdrew.

There were only four people left, Xun You picked up the wine glass and poured himself full of wine.

This era is not like later generations, four people sit in front of four small cases, each with their own wine, seeing his actions, Cao Wu also poured wine.

But Cheng Yu and Jia Xu didn't move.

Xun You smiled: "Don't you drink Zhongde?" But I don't think the wine in my house tastes good enough. ”

Even during the banquet, Cheng Yu is also a sword, compared to a strategist, in fact, Cheng Yu is more like a general who can lead troops, similar to Zhou Yu's literati leader, and the title of General Fenwu still falls on his head.

Cheng Yu listened to Xun You's words and smiled bitterly: "I'm old, I can't drink anymore." ”

He glanced at Cao Wu and said leisurely: "In the summer of the first year of Xingping, the lord attacked Taoqian in Xuzhou, and as a result, there was a sudden rebellion in the rear of Yanzhou. At that time, if General Beifu hadn't discovered it in advance, the foundation of Yanzhou might have been destroyed, and there would be no situation today. ”

Xun You took two sips of wine: "I heard my uncle say this." That year, General Beifu was only in his early tens. ”

Cao Wu also took a sip of wine, and he didn't know that these two wise men suddenly talked about this, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

At that time, Yanzhou was attacked by Lu Bu, which was extremely critical, and there were only two or three cities left, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu desperately defended these cities for Cao Cao, and only then did they usher in the turning point of Cao Cao's army to help.

Cao Wu only knew the historical process, so he discovered the things in the rear of Yanzhou in advance, so that Cao Cao preserved more vital forces than in history.

After the two finished speaking, Jia Xu also said: "Earlier than this, when I was in Chang'an, I actually met General Beifu in a hurry. Establish contact with the forces of the Son of Heaven, and finally welcome the Son of Heaven back to the Central Plains, not surprisingly, there are also the means of the Beifu General. ”

Cao Wu put down his wine glass and said with a wry smile: "Three, don't sell it, let's just tell what is going on." ”

When the three of them heard this, they all laughed, and Cheng Yu said: "After the battle of Guandu, you lived in seclusion for a while, and I thought that the genius of the Beifu general disappeared. It wasn't until the Battle of Chibi that I knew that you had accumulated more strength. When it came to the battle of Jiaozhou, Zhou Yu was broken, and just looking at the battle report was fascinating. ”

As he spoke, he finally poured himself wine, and continued: "General Beifu is still that genius, and this world is tied to you and the lord after all." ”、

Xun You looked at him with deep eyes and said, "But our Beifu general is also famous for his love of beauty. The Chibi War and the Jiaozhou War all have beauties on the side. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

The more Cao Wu listened, the more wrong he became, he looked at Xun You, among the three, although Xun You was the mastermind, he was a real honest man.

Xun You was stared at by him a little sneeringly, and finally said his purpose.

"Jiangdong Sun's family, there is a beauty named Shangxiang, and it is said that she was born extremely beautiful. And this Sun Shangxiang has now been sent by Jiangdong and is on the way to marriage. This matter is extremely secret, if it weren't for the fact that a craftsman saw it in the newly renovated Taichu Palace, it wouldn't have reached our ears. ”

"Marriage? What marriage? ”

An unexpected thought poured into Cao Wu's mind.

"Far away, close at hand."

Cheng Yu knocked on the table.

Of these three people, the youngest is in his fifties, and Jiangdong Sun Quan will naturally not marry someone to them, so the answer is very simple.

The marriage is the marriage between the Sun family and the Cao family, and the goal is Cao Wu.

"Me?"

Cao Wu pointed at himself, incredulous.

"I just killed 70,000 of them, Cheng Pu, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Lu Fan, a lot of famous generals, all died at my hands, he Sun Quan is crazy, want to marry his sister to me?"

Cao Wu can also be regarded as a person who can slowly cover up his emotional changes, and he almost didn't hide his emotions and jumped.

Are you going to be green, Uncle Liu? But you can't think like this, after all, in this era, there is no story of the emperor's uncle playing music and dancing.

"Why, presumably the generals will soon figure it out."

Jia Xu said.

Cao Wu accepted this information, thought about it in his mind for a while, and quickly figured out Guan Qiao.

"I see, this is a mamo. But why does Sun Quan think that we must accept his marriage? The elite of Jiaozhou is in mourning, this is the time to beat them, once they get married, wouldn't they have to stop the pace! ”

Cao Wu raised his doubts.

And Xun You had already thought about it, and drew a circle around the wine glass with his finger.

"Siege?"

Cao Wu immediately understood.

He thought for a moment, and finally sighed: "It's really a mammy." It seems that the day Sun Shangxiang arrives in Xudu, it will be the time for the separatist forces from all sides to attack at the same time! ”

"Exactly!"

Xun You nodded.

And Cao Wu already knew the meaning of today's banquet, he looked around at the three of them and smiled.

After doing it for a long time, these three old guys wanted to test themselves to see if they would be confused by beauty.

This is understandable, after all, he really likes beauty, but the gentleman is good, but he has a good way, and he will not delay the military and political affairs because of a Sun Shangxiang.

After thinking about it carefully, now that Cao Cao is not in Beijing, maybe Cao Cao sent three people to test his thoughts, so as to decide the next arrangement.

"Did my brother ask the three of you?"

Sure enough, Xun You had a showdown: "It is indeed the lord's idea." The Lord's exact words were......"

He tried his best to learn Cao Cao's tone, but he couldn't learn it when he tried, so he had to reluctantly turn to Cheng Yu and Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "The original words are that if Xiao Wu likes it, he will get married, and the attack on Jiangdong can be postponed." See who of the other forces jumps out first, and fights whomever he wants. If Xiao Wu doesn't like it, then Jiangdong will be destroyed this year. ”

Jia Xu actually didn't learn it like it, but Cao Wu could already imagine Cao Cao's expression when he said these words.

His heart warmed, Cao Cao really still cared about him the most.

If he really liked Sun Shangxiang, Cao Cao was even willing to sacrifice the best time to attack Jiangdong for him.

This feeling really touched him.

In return, he also did a lot of things for Cao Cao, or for the world, in return.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "I heard that my brother went to Qian County, why?" ”

He didn't think it would be a secret, but the three of them looked at each other.

In the end, it was the good old man Xun You who said: "The lord is going to hide." ”

"Hiding from what?"

"Xudu and Yecheng, both have officials who have proposed that Jiaozhou should be established, and Cheng will do more."

"What's the matter?"

Cao has no doubts.

Xun Yu solemnly spit out twelve words.

"Praise is not named, enter the court is not tending, and the sword is on the temple!"
