Can family members be used?

The answer is of course yes.

But how to prevent nepotism is the real key.

Since you are the closest person, your reason is easily influenced by emotions.

As a prince, as his power expands, the components of relatives will inevitably be of varying quality, and most of them are mud that cannot be supported by the wall...

Compared with He Miao, the younger brother He Miao, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, Yuan Shao's half-brother Yuan Shu, Lu Bu's father-in-law Cao Bao, Lu Bu's brother-in-law Wei Xu, Liu Bei's brother-in-law Mi Fang, Tao Qian's son Tao Dataoer, Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang, Liu Biao's son Liu Cong, Sima Yan's son Sima Zhong, Han Dang's son Han Zong, and Cao Zhen's son Cao Shuang, there are indeed not many people who can be active on various fronts like Cao Cao's relatives.

But even Cao Cao's relatives still have relatives such as "food-ticket general" Xiahou Dun, "white general" Xiahou Yuan, "greedy landlord" Cao Hong, and "stupid general" Cao Ren...

But there is one thing that is really good. In terms of loyalty, relatives are often more reliable than foreign surnames.

Of course, Chen Fei did not expect his relatives to reach the level of Chen Qun, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu, but... he would definitely be more at ease than others to guard important cities at the right time.

For example... If the prefect of Chenliu was Xiahou Dun, the prefect of Jiyin was Xiahou Yuan, the prefect of Shanyang was Cao Hong, and the prefect of Taishan was Cao Ren, how could the rear be unstable when Cao Cao went to Xuzhou?

-

"There are earthquakes for two consecutive days, which is definitely not a good sign."

The Yanzhou capital, Juancheng, and Fenwu Sima Xunyu were a little restless.

Zhizhong was not much easier to engage in Wan Qian than him, he just barely laughed:

"Why should Wen be worried? Yesterday, Cao Gong sent a good news that our army captured Liangcheng County. So far, all cities around Tan County have been removed by our army. Tao Qian, Liu Bei and others can only trap Tan County. With Cao Gong's power, the city will be destroyed only in the evening!"

Although it was Shou Zhang Ling, Cheng Li, who was ordered by Cao Cao to stay in Juancheng, looked at the sun outside the window and said silently.

Another person in charge of Zhizhong, Mao Jie, raised his head from the bamboo slips:

"Duke Cao raised his troops to attack Xu last year, nearly six months ago, which caused the food and grass in Yanzhou to be empty for two years, and made the people miss the farming work. If the war delays a little longer, the troops and food will be exhausted, and our army will probably be defeated without fighting..."

All the four core members of the Cao camp who were left in the base were famous officials of later generations. Xun Yu and Cheng Li were Cao Cao's top wits, but at this moment they could only look at each other in the same hall.

A cloud has already appeared in their hearts, but it will turn into a downpour.

"Report~~~~~~~~"

Hearing a shout from afar, the four of them were all shocked.

Wan Qian was the first to sit up:

"Quick! Report quickly!"

All the other three were cheering up and sitting upright.

I saw the person who came rushed in with his hands and feet, and even lost one of his boots in panic:

"The villain is under the command of the prefect of Xiahou of Dongjun. The prefect ordered me to urgently sue Xun Sima, the magistrate of Dongjun. Chen Gong, and join forces with the prefect of Chenliu Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, the younger brother of Zhang Miao, and the corps of the doctor Xu Si and Wang Kai to rebel! They welcome the Han thief Lu Bu ascended the throne of Yanzhou!"

Xun Yu and others were shocked, but they heard that the person swallowed and continued:

"Then Chen Gong... forged letters from Juancheng and deceived General Xiahou to lead his troops out of the city and go to rescue Juancheng, but was attacked by Lu Bu from behind. More than 2,000 soldiers were killed or injured, and countless food, grass and supplies were lost!"

While listening to his retelling the situation, Xun Yu read Xiahou Dun's handwritten letter. After he finished reading the letter and handed it to Wan Qian and others, his eyebrows had already been tightly twisted into knots.

Wan Qian is still indignant:

"Brother Zhang Mengzhuo is also a famous scholar in the modern era. Two years ago, they and I welcomed Cao Gong to take over as the governor of Yanzhou. Why did they turn against each other today?!"

Cheng Li's eyes were deep:

"Now is not the time to discuss the reasons. We should immediately send a quick horse to report to Mr. Cao, and at the same time... gather all the troops and guard the main cities around Juancheng. Otherwise... when Mr. Cao returns, wouldn't he even have a foothold?!"

Xun Yu nodded in agreement, and said while lifting the brush:

"Zhongde, you are from Dong'a. You go to Dong'a immediately to assist Zaozhi in defense. You must never let Juancheng become an isolated city like Tan County!"

"I'm going to set off now, let's say goodbye!"

Cheng Li had already stood up, bowed to the three of them, and immediately left.

Xun Yu wrote very quickly, and he had already finished writing the letter in his breath and handed it over to Xuzhou by his confidant officer.

He dipped ink again and continued to write at his desk.

Wan Qian has a slightly different color:

"Wenruo wants to write a book again?"

Xun Yu replied without raising his head:

"Jizhou Governor Yuan Benchu, Chen Xiangluo Jun, Liang Xianglu Liu Ping, Yingchuan Prefect... Chen Fei!"

Wan Qian was surprised:

"Chen Fei?"

Mao Jie suddenly realized and reminded:

"Did you forget? Last year, this person also visited Mr. Cao, and you and I have had a discussion with him."

Wan Qian slapped the back of his head:

"Yes, it's the extremely young Secretariat! He also asked Wen Ruo for a letter of recommendation and gave a piece of jade!"

Mao Jie rolled his eyes secretly:

[Ugly human nature! You can even remember gifts so clearly, why did you pretend to be confused just now?]

Xun Yu didn't care about this matter and spread out the silk and started writing a second letter:

"This person obviously has good intentions towards Cao Gong, and he also heard that he knew the tactics of war and defeated Yingchuan and the Yellow Turban bandits in Runan. I guess the rumors are true. If he could be asked to attack Zhang Miao from Chenliu, Lu Bu would become a turtle in a jar, and he would be unable to get rid of the tiger, and he would be unable to advance or retreat!"

Wan Qian thought for a moment and sighed:

"It's still the case that Wenruo thought carefully, I'm just in a mess at this moment. How could I get these aspects!"

Mao Jie asked:

"Which side of these four sides is likely to send reinforcements more?"

Xun Yu has already started writing the third letter:

"Lu Bu joined Yuan Benchu's command last year and helped him defeat Zhang Yan, Heishan. However, Yuan Shao was the first noble in the world. How could he tolerate such a despicable martial artist as Lu Bu? Therefore, Lu Bu had to escape from Hanoi and rely on Zhang Yang. Now seeing that Lu Bu is powerful, Yuan Shao will not be able to withstand. In my opinion, he will definitely send elite troops to help Cao Gong.

Although the Chen and Liang states had soldiers and horses, there were still remnants of Guo Gong and Yuan Shu in their territory. It was difficult to send troops easily, and asking for help from him was just a helpless act.

As for Yingchuan..."

He spread out the silk again, grindled the ink a little, and began to write the last letter of help:

"My brother Zhongyu (Xun Yue), Guo Fengxiao, and Chen Changwen are all under Chen Fei's command. These three people will definitely urge Chen Fei to send troops to rescue him in public and private affairs! When Cao Gong returns to Juancheng, Lu Bu's army will be defeated!"

He had just written halfway, and heard the doorman rushing in with a loud shout:

"Xun Sima, big things are not good, big things are not good! Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others have led a large army to block the four gates in the city, and the commanders can't rush out at all!"

Xun Yu's body trembled, and the brush pinched in his right hand paused heavily, and a large black ball was pointed out on the silk.

His face looked even paler, but he soon thought of Cheng Li who had just left at the same time:

"Where is Cheng Zhongde? Didn't you come back with you?"

The doorman thought about it and shook his head firmly:

"Mr. Cheng seemed to have changed his casual clothes and escaped directly from the top of the city with a bamboo basket!"

Xun Yu's face seemed to have returned to normal in an instant.

He let out a long sigh:
Chapter completed!
