Chapter 240 Five [Sun Jian takes Xiangyang and decides Jingzhou]

Xu You bowed his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Now we have united Jizhou governor Han Fu, Yanzhou governor Liu Dai, Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang, Shanyang prefect Yuan Yi, Jibei minister Bao Xin, Yuzhou governor Kong Ni, and Xuzhou governor. Inspector Tao Qian, courtesy name Gongzu, and other princes from the seven directions are all stronger than the princes that Cao Cao united with."

"Now, the lord should immediately send a letter to the princes of the Central Plains to determine the period of the alliance. When the time comes, the lord must be the lord."

Yuan Shao smiled and nodded, then looked at Guo Tu and asked, "Gongze, what do you think?"

"My lord, I agree. As for the matter of Jizhou, we need to let it go for a while. It's just that Dong Zhuo died at an untimely time. This will make a big change, and the situation will become more and more blurred. It is better to promote the alliance of princes first." Guo Tu replied.

Yuan Shao nodded, and ordered: "Okay, that's it. The matter of the alliance will be left to Gongze and Ziyuan, you two are fully responsible, and Cao Cao can't be preempted."

"Follow your master's orders!"

"Follow your master's orders!"

Guo Tu and Xu You bowed their hands and accepted the order.

Then, Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and asked, "If we use troops now, how many are available?"

Yan Liang stood up, clasped his hands and said, "Reporting to my lord, there are now fifty thousand elite soldiers, waiting for my lord's orders at any time."

"Well, not bad." Yuan Shao nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Tell me, among the princes of the Central Plains, who can compare with me in terms of family background and military strength? Except me, who will be the leader of this coalition of princes?" Will not work!"

Xu You echoed, "My lord will do my part!"

A few days later, Yanzhou, Chenliu County.

Cao Cao's mansion is much smaller than Yuan Shao's, with simple and practical furnishings.

In the mansion, outside the main hall, Dian Wei is the only guard.

Cao Cao used all kinds of means and paid a certain price. Finally, he got Dian Wei from Zhang Miao as he wished, and then let Dian Wei be his personal guard.

Moreover, there were those who were dissatisfied, Cao Cao asked these people to compete with Dian Wei, but no one could beat Dian Wei, which made Cao Cao like Dian Wei even more.

Moreover, Dian Wei is very loyal, and he is grateful to Cao Cao for his kindness.Do your best.

No, when Xun Yu came, Dian Wei blocked the door.

"Scholar Dian, please report to your lord that Xun Yu is here." Xun Yu cupped his hands and said to Dian Wei, he was really helpless for Dian Wei's character of refusing to listen to anyone except Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao was studying in the side hall next to the main hall.

Dian Wei came in, cupped his hands, and reported, "My lord, Xun Yu is here."

"Wen Ruo is here?" Cao Cao hastily put down the letter in his hand, "Hurry up and invite him in."

"No." Dian Wei replied.

But Cao Cao immediately stopped Dian Wei, "Wait a minute, I'll go in person."

Cao Cao walked out of the side hall, and when he came to the main hall, he saw Xun Yu outside the door, and greeted him with a smile, "Wen Ruo, please come in quickly, sit down and talk."

With that said, Cao Cao took Xun Yu's hand and entered the main hall.

On the same coffee table, the two sat opposite each other, looking very close.

Now, Xun Yu is just a guest of Cao Cao's house, offering advice for Cao Cao.

"I don't know why Mr. Cao is here?" Xun Yu asked.

Cao Cao took out two scrolled letters from his sleeve, handed them to Xun Yu, and said, "Wen Ruo, take a look. These are the letters that Sun Jian and Yuan Shao just sent today."

Xun Yu took it over and saw that the content of the letter was similar to what he had expected before. He said, "Sun Jian agreed to the invitation of the League, and Yuan Shao decided how to choose between the Central Plains princes and the Suanzao Cao Guild after half a month?"

"How to choose? Haha" Cao Cao laughed and said, "Could it be that Wen Ruo thinks that I tried my best to unite the Central Plains lords' alliance in order to become the leader? No, as long as I can rid the court of evil and save the emperor, it doesn't matter if Yuan Shao wants to be the leader of the alliance. "

Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao with admiration, and said, "Mr. Cao's loyalty and righteousness are indeed the great fortune of the Han Dynasty, and he will surely accomplish great things in the future!"

"Wen Ruo's reputation is too high. As a minister of the Han Dynasty, I am doing my duty as a minister." Cao Cao smiled, "However, Sun Jian agreed so readily, which is really surprising."

Xun Yu also smiled and said: "This shows that Sun Jian is bound to win Jingzhou. In order to show weakness to Yuan Shu, he had to hand over Nanyang County to others. Sun Jian is a man of great ambition. Mr. Cao can try to make friends with him. After the alliance, it will also benefit Duke Cao."

"Wen Ruo said it is true."

Cao Cao nodded, and then ordered Dian Wei, who was standing beside him, "Take out the things."

"No." Dian Wei turned around and walked towards the side hall.

After a while, Dian Wei came out with a wine jar in his arms.

Seeing this, Xun Yu was puzzled and asked, "Is there anything good going on today?"

"No, but this is not ordinary wine. It was sent by Sun Jian. There are two jars in total. One jar has been unsealed before, and this one has not been unsealed yet." Cao Cao said with a smile.

Xun Yu looked at the wine jar, curious, and asked: "Sun Jian gave it to Cao Gong, and there are only two jars, so it must be good wine."

"Dianwei opens the altar, there are no outsiders here, so pour yourself a bowl of wine." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord."

Cao Cao and Xun Yu used wine bottles, while Dian Wei used bowls, but Cao Cao treated him as his own, and Dian Wei was moved.

The wine jar was opened, and an intoxicating aroma of wine came to the face.

Xun Yu was startled, "Just by smelling the aroma of wine, you know it's not ordinary!"

"Come on, Wen Ruo, taste it first." Cao Cao handed the wine bottle to Xun Yu, and then said: "Sun Jian said in his heart that this wine has another name called [Jiuzuixian], but it is the wine drunk by gods. You and I can drink this wine, but it is better than a god, haha."

"The Drunken Immortal? I'm under Cao Gong's favor." Saying this, Xun Yu couldn't help but took a sip.

Cough
Xun Yu was choked immediately, and sighed: "This wine is so strong! But it is indeed good wine. I never thought that Jingzhou would have such strong wine."

Seeing Xun Yu's embarrassment, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, "Wen Ruo, this wine doesn't exist in the Central Plains. Sun Jian said in his heart that this wine comes from Jiaozhou."

"This kind of fine wine comes from Jiaozhou, that barbarian land?" Xun Yu never expected it, and was extremely surprised.

At the same time, Jingzhou, Xiangyang City, the original Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, is now Sun Jian's mansion.

A few days ago, Pang Ji successfully persuaded Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng and other bandits to surrender and let Sun Jian take over Xiangyang City.

Therefore, Pang Ji was reused by Sun Jian, and his status was among the scribes, only under Zhao Xu.

At this time, Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Zhao Xu, Pang Ji and others gathered in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.

Sun Jian asked: "I heard that there are many famous scholars in Xiangyang. Can any of you tell me who they are?"

"My lord, there are many famous people in Xiangyang, like Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, etc., are all knowledgeable and famous people with high reputation. If they can help the lord, they will definitely make the lord accomplish something great." Zhao Xu said with his hands clasped. .
