At this time, Gongsun Du was also in the Liaodong vassal state. He did not surrender, but he did not go to war with Youzhou, but used his troops to resist the foreign invasion.

Gongsundu guarded this place for a long time, but never joined the dispute in the Central Plains.

Yuan Shao may have never thought that one day he would come to Youzhou and be adjacent to Gongsun Du, but Yuan Shao had killed Gongsun Zan, so it was impossible for Gongsun Du to conspire with him. On the contrary, Gongsun Du was very likely to lead troops to attack Yuan Shao.

.

Once this happens, Yuan Shao will be attacked on both sides.

But at this time, Xi Yu already knew that it would be difficult for Yuan Shao to survive this winter.

…

After the New Year, Cao Cao returned to Xuchang to celebrate the New Year.

Jizhou sent a large number of officials, all of whom were local nobles.

Only in the Jizhou area occupied by Xi Yu, the officials were selected from poor families in Xuzhou and were personally supervised by Cao Ang, Xu Jing and Xu Shao.

With such a reserve of Confucian scholars, Xi Yu still has more than 300 people at his disposal. If other states and counties in Jizhou need it, they can be sent there directly.

But Xi Yu's suggestion was directly rejected.

Therefore, these Confucian scholars had no choice but to continue to study Confucianism in the school while learning other academic subjects.

At the end of the year, Xuchang City is bustling with people.

People outside the city began to enjoy lanterns, visit temple fairs, and go out for outings with relatives and friends. The nobles and nobles in the inner city also let their children go out for a walk and make friends with other nobles and family members.

At the beginning of the warm weather, the thick layers of snow began to melt slowly, carriages came and went, and wheel marks began to appear on the ground of the avenue, spreading into the city.

This year's recruitment process has also begun, and there are a large number of people.

After Cao Cao returned to Xuchang, he immediately recruited Sima's family and recruited Sima Fang, Sima Yi, Sima Lang, Sima Kui, Sima Fu and others into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Some were appointed editors and some were appointed meritorious officials.

In this way, Sima Yi could not avoid Cao Cao, who was now more powerful, so he had to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion and serve as a literary clerk.

However, this official position is a civilian position and does not have military power.

He is mainly responsible for writing matters, recording meetings and parliamentary affairs, but he can only observe and cannot participate in meeting discussions. Therefore, his salary is not much and his reputation is limited.

At this time, it was the first time that the Sima family came into Cao Cao's sight.

On top of the original monthly review, the monthly review was restored for the first time. Cao Cao went there to watch it in person. Although it was quite funny, and the two women were already Mrs. Xiyu at that time, those people at that time did have talents and knowledge of the world.

The first is Yang Xiu, who almost reversed the plan. If Xi Yu hadn't come to his rescue, I'm afraid the emperor would have been gone long ago.

The second is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, who pacified Yuan Shao in the north and captured the land of Jizhou. Even though Guo Jia was not the first to do so, he at least made a great contribution. However, because he was currently working under Xi Yu, Cao Cao could not directly reward him.

The third one is Sima Yi. Xu Shao and Xu Jing are very optimistic about this person. This person is one of Sima Bada. He has a high reputation and integrity, but he has never had the opportunity to display his talents.

Today's conquest can be regarded as giving Sima Yi a way out, but it also makes him feel very scared.

…

On this day, outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A carriage from Xuzhou stopped at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xi Yu stepped out of the carriage wearing a white robe, followed by his sixth wife, Lu Lingqi.

At the same time, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Gao Shun also accompanied Xi Yu.

These four generals are rare fierce generals in the world, and among them Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are extremely famous generals. They are all generals trained by Xi Yu himself.

Apart from these few people, Xi Yu did not lead anyone else.

Moreover, Lu Lingqi's identity this time is that of Xi Yu's bodyguard, not Xi Yu's wife.

Lu Lingqi was Xi Yu's closest bodyguard at this time. She seldom slacked off at night and only went to bed unless she was too tired that night.

At this time, Xi Yu got off the carriage and asked Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who were the last to arrive, "Where is the Black and White Cavalry now?"

Zhao Yun immediately replied, "It is located in Anza, the outer city of Xuchang, and placed in eighteen post houses."

"Moreover, the White Cavalry entered the inner city in the form of a caravan." Huang Zhong followed, "Although we don't know their specific whereabouts, each of them has a detailed drawing of Xuchang in their hands."

"very good."

"Fengxiao, Wenhe, when will these two arrive?"

"The military advisor and Mr. Kong Ming arrived in Xuchang the day before and should be at the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time."

"That's it. We're all here. Very good. Let's go."

Xi Yu's face now showed a smile.

But at this time, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong didn't look very good.

This matter has gained momentum since the refusal of Xuzhou scribes to enter Jizhou County to serve as officials.

When Zhao Yun was in Jizhou, he had already encountered something that made him very unhappy.

Xiahou Dun, now one of the four town generals under Cao Cao, once sent his general Jiang Qi to the camp outside Dongwu City in Qinghe County to take over the territory. However, Zhao Yun's Qingzhou soldiers robbed the army of food and grass, and even pulled off the soldiers' armor.

, and drove Jiang Qizhi's soldiers and horses back, and they have not yet returned them.

Xiahou Dun kept silent about this matter, secretly swallowing the bitter water in his stomach. Zhao Yun didn't know whether Xiahou Dun would bring up this matter again.

Zhao Yun has been keeping this in mind. If he meets Xiahou Dun tonight, I wonder if there will be a quarrel.

Xi Yu also knew about this matter, but he took it more lightly than Zhao Yun and others. However, the clan members did have the tendency to cause trouble.

But from Xi Yu's point of view, none of this is a cause for concern.

Not long after, Xi Yu stood outside the door patting the white snow on her body, but Xun Yu's voice came from inside the door.

"Fengyi, you're finally here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xun Yu strode out. At this moment, his face was red and full of smiles.

"Wen Ruo, okay."

When Xi Yu saw Xun Yu, he was polite and bowed to him.

"Well, okay, Fengyi, everyone is waiting for you. In the afternoon, the old man was still talking about wanting to see you. This year, my health is very bad. Sometimes my mind is not clear enough, and all my teeth are about to fall out. Now

The old man must be very happy to see you." Xun Yu said happily.

"I brought him some medicinal materials this time. They were specially prescribed by Mr. Hua Tuo and Zhong Jing. They have the effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the body."

After that, Xiyu walked into the house.

Arriving in the courtyard, Xiyu immediately felt a burst of warmth, and the scenery inside became unusual, very different from the scene outside.

At this time, Xi Yu had a triangular beard on his chin, and his face became more determined and mature, completely different from the fair-faced young boy before.

The City of Heart is also different from before.

"Squeak!"

As soon as Xun Yu opened the door, the sound of scholars reciting poems and composing poems came from inside.

"Fengyi!"

Cao Cao was sitting on the throne at this time. He was very happy to see Xi Yu and said, "Feng Yi, you came just in time. Zhi Cai just recited a poem. It has a deep charm."

He sat at the main seat in the main hall and waved to Xi Yu. He was at least twenty meters away from Xi Yu.

At this moment, the wooden boards in the hall were very luxurious and shiny. Xiyu stepped on it slowly and walked in. The place he passed by immediately became quiet.

At this moment, Xi Zhi, who was originally smiling, gradually lost his smile. Only Xu You, Zhong Yao, Sima Fang, Cheng Yu and other advisers looked at Xi Yu with admiration.

After so many years, Xi Zhicai has always had a hard time figuring it out. He always thinks that he is overshadowed by Xi Yu and is always suppressing him.

Now that the new year has passed and it is a matter of parliament, Xi Zhicai's mood is very complicated.

At this time, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia immediately stood up from their seats and went to greet Xi Yu. Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were ranked outside the tenth place, but Jia Xu was at the bottom. After Xi Yu came in,

Jia Xu didn't say hello and just kept eating by himself.

However, Xi Yu and Jia Xu have become accustomed to each other's way of getting along.

"Fengyi."

Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu, shouted again, and then pointed to the lower left seat not far away, "Look, if you don't come, there will be no one to keep Wen Ruo company."

Xi Yu nodded and took his seat.

Chief, the position of mastermind.

At this moment, facing Xi Yu, his eyes were facing each other, they were Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun.

Cao Ren was smiling all over his face at this moment, but Xiahou Dun looked very arrogant.

After Xi Yu sat down, Lu Lingqi sat side by side at a small table next to him. Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong had not entered the generals' table, so they had to stand behind Xi Yu.

Seeing this situation, Cao Cao was quite moved and asked, "Three generals, why don't you go to your seats?"

Zhao Yun smiled lightly and said, "My lord, you are serious. We are just acting as your bodyguards. Of course, our first duty is to protect your safety."

"Haha, this is really fulfilling your duty. However, today is a meeting to discuss merits and rewards. If you don't go to the military generals' table, why don't you want to give rewards?" Xiahou Dun shook his head and said.

"Hahaha……"
