Chapter 181: Pulling Xun Yu
"Brother Wen Ruo thinks Yuan Shao is worth following?" Guo Jia asked straight to the point.
Facing Guo Jia's straightforward words, even Xun Yu was shocked. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. Guo Jia smiled and said,
"Brother Wen Ruo doesn't think I'm here to test you, right?"
Xun Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Fengxiao, you haven't changed at all. Can't you lay some groundwork first? If it were someone else, you would probably be scared to get sick."
"The ancients had a word of money. I, Guo Jia, should I be a word of money. If I say too much, I will be poor." Guo Jia joked, then asked again,
"Brother Wen Ruo, what do you think of Yuan Shao?"
Xun Yu also became serious. He believed that Guo Jia could not have come to help Yuan Shao test him, so he answered directly,
"Yuan Shao likes red tape, is generous on the outside and is timid on the inside, is more resourceful and has less determination, and is fond of false reputations. He is not like a person who accomplishes great things."
Speaking of this, Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia,
"I want Fengxiao to come to see me today, I guess he has the same opinion."
Guo Jia was happy and thought to himself that it was indeed the case. He nodded and admitted it quickly.
"Yes, I have decided to leave Yuan Shao. I wonder if Brother Wen Ruo has any plans. I want to learn from it."
Xun Yu shook his head and sighed,
"I just don't know what to plan for the time being, otherwise I wouldn't have stopped here like now."
Guo Jia was slightly stunned and immediately realized that Xun Yu was not determined to leave Yuan Shao, but he didn't know who to surrender!
That's right. No matter what you do, work or buy things, you have to try it yourself to know whether it's good or bad. Think about history, since Xun Yu and Guo Jia thought that Yuan Shao was not good, why did you still go to Yuan Shao at the beginning? Isn't it that Yuan Shao was very famous at that time, and he was very popular and looked like he was embraced by all rivers and talented people, so many famous scholars followed the trend and defected to Yuan Shao.
When Guo Jia and Xun Yu ran to Yuan Shao and took a look, they realized that Yuan Shao was not as good as those rumored outside. So Xun Yu had already thought of leaving in his heart, but he didn't know much about other princes, especially those people were not as famous as Yuan Shao. What if they were far inferior to Yuan Shao?
Could it be that Xun Yu wants to have one by one, and every prince’s subordinates spends a while? What is that not wasting youth in vain? Of course, it is the same thing as Yuan Shao. What Xun Yu needs more is a stage to show himself.
Xun Yu is not a hermit like Hu Zhao, and he didn't find that no one deserves his loyalty after walking around, so he stayed in seclusion for the rest of his life. Xun Yu wanted to do something really, and Xun Yu believed it. As long as he could give him a stage and let him play, even if the lord himself was not as good as Yuan Shao, he could make that camp develop like a decent position.
Therefore, Yuan Shao’s personal shortcomings are only one aspect. The real reason for Xun Yu leaving is Yuan Shao. He is not successful and will not be valued.
"I don't know if Fengxiao has plans in his heart?" Xun Yu asked instead. Since Guo Jia had decided to leave, he should have a better place than Yuan Shao. At this time, Xun Yu wanted to learn from Guo Jia's decision. At least Xun Yu still believed in Guo Jia's vision. If Guo Jia did not have that vision and courage, he might leave Yuan Shao at this time? And if Guo Jia's vision was denied, wouldn't he also deny Xun Yu's own vision!
"I am going to surrender to Cao Cao. How about Brother Wenruo? We two brothers are inside and outside, and we are both literary and military. With cooperation, what can't be done in the world!" Guo Jia patted his chest and invited.
Xun Yu was amused when he heard this. They were two weak scholars, both inside and outside, but they were even literary and martial. Who is literary and martial? As for Cao Cao in Guo Jia's words, Xun Yu didn't know much, and the most important thing was that everyone knew that Guo Jia and Cao Cao had a good relationship.
Then, Guo Jia's choice to surrender to Cao Cao is probably out of friendship; and with the relationship between the two, Guo Jia is also easily valued by Cao Cao. This choice may be correct for Guo Jia, but it may be a bit unsuitable for him, Xun Yu. Who knows how Cao Cao would treat him Xun Yu after going to Cao Cao?
"I know what Brother Wenruo, you are concerned about." Guo Jia patted Xun Yu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I dare to pat my chest and promise that Brother Wenruo will definitely be highly valued by Cao Cao, even more important than me! Cao Cao is eager to seek talent, and the key is that he has no counselors under his command now!"
It was Guo Jia's words that touched Xun Yu's heart. Don't forget why Cao Cao had such a good relationship with Guo Jia at the time. The two of them had similar personalities and similar opinions were one aspect. The most important point was that Guo Jia was the first Qingliu scholar to take the initiative to get along with Cao Cao!
In this era, birth is highly valued. Cao Cao, who was born after the eunuch, was born incomparable to Yuan Shao, who was born after the wealthy family. Therefore, most of the famous gentry surrendered to Yuan Shao. Even if they didn't surrender to Yuan Shao, there were Liu Biao and Tao Qian, they would never choose Cao Cao.
This led to the current situation: Cao Cao, who was the first to raise the banner of righteousness, had many fierce generals under his command, because in the eyes of the world, these people were rampant people, that is, Cao Cao would take them in and use them without any hesitation; while other famous and famous scholars almost looked down on Cao Cao, so at this time, Cao Cao did not have a few decent counselors.
A chance!
Xun Yu's eyes lit up. After Guo Jia's reminder, no matter what Cao Cao is, at least Cao Cao really needs talents like him. Moreover, with Guo Jia, a close person, as a recommendation, Xun Yu is really likely to use his fists and kicks under Cao Cao's hands!
"Welfare, you have practiced a perfect tongue at any time." Xun Yu smiled and finally had a goal. No need to be as confused as he is now, Xun Yu became more relaxed.
Guo Jia heard this and laughed,
"We will have to cooperate well by the time being. By the way, how about calling Gongda?"
Xun Yu nodded,
"Gongda has long had the same idea as me. I think he should agree if I tell him. Fengxiao, I have put all my wealth on you!" Xun Yu said.
"Brother Wen Ruo, you will definitely not regret today's decision in the future!" Guo Jia said affirmatively.
"By the way, since we have decided now, how can we leave here smoothly? I'm afraid that if Yuan Shao knows that we are leaving, he will turn against him." Guo Jia finally said the most important purpose today.
Xun Yu frowned and said with some concern,
"A small official like me can leave by just finding a name for official duties. But Fengxiao, you have just given such a big plan to Yuan Shao, but you are not able to leave by just casually."
