June 7th.

Zhendong Sima Mansion.

"Brother Zhongde, look at it with you. How did Yuan Benchu ​​send troops yesterday?"

"Yuan Benchu ​​and Gongsun Bogui fought fiercely for several years, and the soldiers were very elite. The leader was Zhu Ling and Zhu Wenbo of Qinghe. His military orders were orderly and his military appearance was rigorous, and he seemed to be quite famous."

"Fortunately, there has been no famine this year, and the counties in Yanzhou have achieved a bumper harvest. At least the soldiers don't have to worry about food and grass."

"But... we have not yet integrated the military and political affairs of the prefectures and counties, so we have rushed to attack Tao Qian at this time. It is definitely not a good opportunity."

"Wen Ruo said so much, but with the nature of Cao Gong, how can he not revenge the revenge of killing his father?"

“…”

Xun Yu, who had just turned thirty, sighed silently.

The two people who discussed with him were Mao Jie, Shou Zhang and Cheng Li, who were both extremely trusted confidants of Cao Cao, and they were all contemporary wise men.

With their vision, of course it is clear that although Cao Cao was known as the governor of Yanzhou, he did not fully control the entire Yanzhou. What he could really control was actually Dongjun and Anping Kingdom. Even Zhang Miao's Chenliu was only superficially supported. Therefore, the most urgent task was to integrate the forces of all parties and completely incorporate the counties into their own control, rather than launching a large-scale attack on Xuzhou.

But as Cheng Li said in the end, how can we not revenge the revenge of killing our father?

The three of them were silent for a moment, but they heard the doorman carefully pressing into the door:

"I reported to Sima Xun, there was a guest from a foreign land outside the door, and claimed that he came from Chang'an to ask for Sima."

"Chang'an?"

Xun Yu was a little surprised and reached out to take the famous sect:

"Shangshu Shishu, Chen Fei, the right Fufeng?"

Mao Jie and Cheng Li looked at each other, but they shook their heads slightly. Obviously no one had heard of this name.

But Xun Yu had already left the table and subconsciously tidied up his clothes and hat:

"Come on your behalf!"

-

"please!"

Chen Fei nodded slightly to the doorman, stepped over the threshold, and stepped into the main hall.

I was about to meet the top figure with a reputation in history, and I felt a little worried. However, after studying with Jia Xu for half a year, he still tried hard not to seem too nervous.

As soon as he entered the hall, he smelled a faint fragrance and became more calm.

Except for the servants on both sides of the stand, there were only three people in the hall. The oldest was over fifty years old and the youngest was about thirty years old.

However, Chen Fei would not recognize the wrong person. In his sight, the three people's heads clearly wrote their names:

Xun Yu:5.

Mao Jie:2.

Cheng Li:0.

Cheng Li?

That's right, it's Cheng Li, whose courtesy name is Zhongde.

Chen Fei did not feel surprised. He had learned the information of the main counselors and generals under Cao Cao's command from Jia Xu. At this time, Cheng Li had not dreamed of the sun on Mount Tai, nor had he changed his name to Cheng Yu.

He raised his hands flat and bowed to the three of them:

"A junior Chen Fei of the later generations, met Sima Xun, Magistrate of Cheng County, and Mao Gongcao."

The three people on the opposite side returned the greetings one after another, and Xun Yu smiled and signaled:

"Thank you for your hard work in the distance, please come to the seat and discuss again."

"Thank you."

Chen Fei was not too polite. He lifted up his robe and knelt on his knees while looking at the three people in front of him.

Xun Yu has a very white skin, a handsome face, and a slender figure. He doesn't seem to be a handsome man with traditional facial features, but he has a gentle and elegant temperament as gentle as jade.

Cheng Li has a very tall figure and is estimated to be close to 1.9 meters tall. In addition, he is thin and looks as eye-catching as a thin bamboo pole. Cheng Zhongde, who is in his fifties, has thick and black hair, and a handful of long beards hangs to his lower abdomen. He can be called a beautiful bearded man.

Mao Jie seemed to have no characteristics. He was of average height and appearance, and even his beard was mediocre and his length were ordinary.

After the four of them sat down, the first question was Cheng Li:

"How do you recognize me?"

Chen Fei smiled slightly:

"When I came from a thousand miles away, how could I know nothing about the ministers of Yanzhou? Although Mr. Zhongde was born in the grass, he was able to lead the people of a city as a commoner, resist tens of thousands of bandits, and protect his hometown from wars. The sage said: "If you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself; if you are prosperous, you will be able to help the world." Compared with those great scholars and hermits who avoid troubled times, Mr. Zhongde is the role model for us."

It is always happy to be praised by others. Even Cheng Li, who is in his fifties, couldn't help but smile and waved his hands repeatedly:

"Mr. Chen is too proud, I can't afford to say this to Mencius."

Xun Yu smiled and turned back to the topic:

"Mr. Chen is traveling all the way, can he give us some advice?"

Chen Fei bowed his hand:

"I dare not. I am ordered by the emperor and first visited Zhao Taipu who was recuperating in Chenliu due to illness. However, I thought about the turmoil in Guanzhong and the people were in trouble. Therefore, I followed the wishes of the Guanglu Grand Duke Jia Gong, searched for loyal and brave princes in Shandong prefectures and counties, and asked them to come to serve the king. If things were not done, I would like to take other plans..."

He paused for a moment and did not continue to say it.

No one here is a fool, everyone understands what he means!

Rescue the king and the emperor are all false, and the content that is not said is the most important thing!

Chen Fei looked at Xun Yu, worried that he would get angry because of this. After all, this loyal minister of the Han Dynasty in history went to death alone in order to dissuade Cao Cao from usurping the throne.

What surprised him was that Xun Yu just smiled faintly, and there was no displeasure, and even his friendship was still motionless.

Instead, I heard Xun Yu say:

"If there are still people in the Liangzhou chaos army, they must be Jia Wenhe."

Cheng Li and Mao Jie also nodded:

"I heard that Jia Wenhe often defended all officials and ministers. If it weren't for this, most of the officials would have been killed or injured!"

Seeing that their evaluation of Jia Xu was not bad, Chen Fei felt a little relieved and said:

"Doctor Jia wanted to abandon the secret and turn to the light, but his mother died of illness before the New Year. Now she is building a hut outside Chang'an City to keep mourning, and the rest of the matter can only be settled for the time being."

Xun Yu's expression suddenly became a little strange:

"This is true for the Han Dynasty to rule the world with benevolence and filial piety."

Chen Fei suddenly realized: Both of his parents died, why did Jia Xu have to keep mourning for 27 months, but Cao Cao started a war without stopping?

When I was studying with Jia Xu, I vaguely remember that Yuan Shao had mourned his parents for six years in one breath, which won praise from the whole world. After Sun Jian was shot and killed by attacking Huang Zu, Sun Ce immediately stopped all military actions, handed over all his troops, and returned to his hometown to mourn. Why did he get to Cao Cao... don't you need to mourn?

Of course it is understandable. If there is a big chaos today, this kind of ethics has long been no longer the focus.

Chen Fei and Xun Yu had questions and answers for a quarter of an hour, and the meeting finally came to an end.

He could clearly feel that among the three, only Xun Yu was concerned about the Han court, so he specifically asked about the details of Liu Xie and the ministers and officials. Cheng Li and Mao Jie seemed to be indifferent. When talking about the topic of the court, if it were not for etiquette, they would have left long ago.

After looking at the expressions of the three of them, Chen Fei knew that it was time to say goodbye, so he left the table and stood up, bowed respectfully to Xun Yu and others:

"I have achieved my mission, so I will say goodbye today. All three are the Central Plains masters. There will be many disturbances in the future. I hope I will give you advice at that time."

"How dare you, how dare you?"

Xun Yu, Cheng Li, and Mao Jie also stood up and returned the salute, then watched him put on his shoes and exit the hall.

The three of them sat down again, but Cheng Li spoke first:

"Wenruo still seems to be very concerned about the Emperor of Han?"

Xun Yu nodded and said:

"The Han Dynasty has been in the country for four hundred years. If we have the opportunity to welcome the emperor, we will have the name of great righteousness from now on. The scholars and people in the world will compete to serve each other, which is very different from today's situation. Xiaoxian should share the same feelings with me."

"Yes, I had made suggestions to Mr. Cao a few months ago that those who are righteous in their military will win, and those who are defending their throne will be rich. It is advisable to obey the emperor to order the emperor to rule against the ministers, cultivate farming, and live in military resources. In this way, the overlord's career can be accomplished."

Mao Jie agreed that if it were not for defeating Yuan Shu and the Yanzhou Governor Jin Shang, appointed by the court three months ago, Cao Cao's official positions would be self-proclaimed and belong to the 800-year-old "self-reliance and chaos army". Any prince in the world would have the right to attack his territory without worrying about any moral accusations.

Until Cao Cao completely defeated Yuan Shu and turned the governor of Yanzhou into a certain fact, even so, the courts of Li Jue and Guo Si still did not recognize his official position. Among the eight counties and states in Yanzhou, Cao Cao could actually control only two and a half.

Cheng Li calmly expressed his worries:
Chapter completed!
