Cao Cao returned to his mansion and saw no one the whole day.
He occasionally walked, occasionally stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, occasionally meditated, and sat there for three or four hours.
All the guards thought that Cao Cao had been stimulated in some way? Could it be that he was cheated?
Of course, no one will know...
Cao Cao is just thinking and being a pure thinker!
In his mind, the four pieces of the puzzle put forward by Yi Xiaotian were constantly echoing - Qiao Pei Wuren, bottom management, Yingchuan Xun clan, today's emperor...
It was just sixteen words, but it made Cao Cao think about it for a whole day...
In fact, the more he thought about it, the more Cao Cao could feel how majestic and vast energy it contained.
Not to mention the previous three items, the fourth item alone, "serve the emperor to win over those who are not subject..." aroused great interest in Cao Cao! It made him feel that there was much to do!
But... there are so many things to worry about when welcoming the Emperor, where should we start?
The first thing to bear the brunt was intelligence. He had too little information about the emperor's return to the east!
Therefore, Cao Cao immediately sent someone to inquire about the emperor's return to the east.
All deployments need to be based on accurate intelligence...
We can no longer be content with the status quo like a salted fish. At this time, it is time to do something and seize the opportunity.
…
…
"Cao Gong."
Hearing that Cao Cao had not left the house and was alone in his mansion thinking, Xun Yu was a little worried about him and immediately came to visit him.
Of course, he had another thing on his mind this time.
"The military advisor is here?" Cao Cao welcomed Xun Yu into the door...
"I heard that Duke Cao's main gate was not open and the second gate was not open. The civil and military officials were a little worried, so they asked me to come and take a look."
Xun Yu looked Cao Cao up and down.
You look pretty good, and you don't look a little depressed or hesitant. Doesn't it look like you have a knot in your heart?
Then... why would you want to trap yourself in a house?
For a moment, Xun Yu was confused. Cao Cao seemed to feel a little weird today.
"I'm fine."
Cao Cao waved his hand with a smile on his face, "There are just some things that need to be thought about carefully, but I didn't expect that it would make the military advisors and civil and military officials worried."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao stretched out his arms and tried to make himself more energetic. After thinking all day long, he was always a little tired.
"Mr. Cao, I have one more thing to do here."
Seeing that Cao Cao was fine, Xun Yu's heart finally fell to the ground. He lifted his beard and said with a smile.
"When I was young in Yingchuan, I met a group of talented people. Before that, I sent letters to them one by one, urging them to rush to Yanzhou to vote for the Ming Dynasty..."
"Hmm? Talented man from Yingchuan..."
As soon as Xun Yu blurted out the first half of his sentence, Cao Cao subconsciously shuddered...
Here they come!
Cao Cao's tiger body shook, and his whole spirit changed!
He subconsciously recalled the third piece of the puzzle that Yi Xiaotian mentioned to him - the Yingchuan clan!
At that time...
Brother Yi also meaningfully mentioned that following the lineage of the Xun family in Yingchuan, countless Yingchuan talents who are related to Xun Yu but have outstanding abilities will come to join him.
When he heard these words, Cao Cao was still filled with great expectations.
But because of the subsequent issues of "the emperor returning eastward" and "welcoming the emperor", Cao Cao actually forgot about this matter.
Now, Xun Yu suddenly mentioned it.
It made Cao Cao surprised and happy...
"Military advisor? Where are these Yingchuan talents now?"
Cao Cao grabbed Xun Yu's hands. He was eager for talents, especially those from Yingchuan!
What's more, these Yingchuan talents are the third piece of the puzzle for Cao Cao's rise that Brother Yi mentioned!
"Cao...Gong Cao!"
Xun Yu was a little confused, Cao Cao's grip hurt him a little, and Cao Cao's reaction was a little too violent!
It seems that Xun Yu just mentioned Yingchuan Talents, so Cao Cao wouldn't be so impatient, right?
For a moment, Xun Yu was confused...
But soon, Xun Yu came back to his senses and said hurriedly.
"These...these Yingchuan talents have rushed to Yanzhou and are waiting to have a chat with Duke Cao..."
I never thought that these words just came out of my mouth.
Cao Cao exerted his strength and picked up Xun Yu's arm like an eagle catching a chicken.
Following this force, Xun Yu felt that he was lifted up by Cao Cao and hurriedly rushed out of the gate of the government office...
But he heard the urgent words coming out of Cao Cao's mouth one after another.
"Commander, hurry up, hurry up and go... let's go see these Yingchuan talents now!"
Cao Cao is anxious...
The third puzzle piece is delivered to your door.
If, as Yi Xiaotian said, that efficient, supportive, and excellent management team is about to take shape, how can Cao Cao remain calm?
…
…
Hahaha…
The laughter that shook the rubble resounded in the main hall of the Chenliu County Government Office.
Cao Cao was happy.
These Yingchuan talents who were related to Xun Yu did not disappoint him...
After a long chat, Cao Cao could feel that the Yingchuan talents in front of him were all outstanding figures in the world.
In addition to the fact that Cao Cao was shocked by the number of outstanding people in Yingchuan...
What surprised Cao Cao even more was that Brother Yi was right again this time, and the knowledge and knowledge of these Yingchuan talents were stronger than Cao Cao imagined...
No wonder Cao Cao was so happy.
You must know that the people kneeling opposite him are Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Qun and Zhong Yao.
No matter which one of these people is picked out from the sheets, they are all famous figures in the ancient books of later generations...
Xun Yu was Cao Cao's first counselor and was called "my son-in-law" by Cao Cao.
Xun You repeatedly proposed strategies for Cao Cao to defeat the enemy, and his ability to deploy strategies before the battle was first-rate...
Decades later, Chen Qun established the "nine-grade Zhongzheng system" official selection system, which made outstanding contributions to the internal affairs of the Wei Dynasty.
Not to mention, Zhong Yao...
This great calligrapher broke into Chang'an single-handedly a few years later. With his clever words, he helped Cao Cao defeat the Kwantung princes and take Chang'an city into his own...
Cao Cao knows people with a keen eye.
In just half a day, he could conclude that the army of counselors formed by the Yingchuan clan would definitely make outstanding achievements and make great contributions on the road to his rise!
…
We talked about it and got an official seal.
Cao Cao immediately raised a question, a question that he had been thinking about all day.
"From now on, you all will be Cao Cao's advisers. I hope you can give me more advice on strategic decisions..."
Cao Cao deliberately mentioned the words "strategic decision-making"...
Everyone here is smart, how could they not realize that Cao Cao wants to discuss with them the next strategic plan?
"Since Duke Cao said this."
Speaking of this, Xun Yu seemed to have thought of something... He didn't forget to add a sentence.
"But...if Duke Cao plans to plot Xuzhou, I have something to say - the time is not yet ripe, and we have no name for our troops. The top priority is to leave livestock fallow to raise military resources."
Xun Yu thought about it for a while and concluded that the one who could make Cao Cao shut up and stay in his room thinking for a day must be the fat guy in Xuzhou...
However, the battle between Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu has just begun.
Intervening at this time may cause unnecessary trouble, and may also arouse their common hatred and join forces to fight against the enemy.
If you try to force your plan, you may end up losing more than you gain!
Xun Yu's face was gloomy, he was worried that Cao Cao would insist on his own way...
Unexpectedly, what surprised Xun Yu was...
Hahaha…
Cao Cao laughed heartily, and then raised his hand, he mentioned another idea, or in other words, another strategic plan——
——"What do you think? What if our army moves westward and approaches Luoyang to serve the emperor as a reward for his disobedience?"
