When Cao Cao first arrived in Chang'an, there were only more than ten people, as anxious as a dog that was strayed. But he quickly gained the foothold in Chang'an. Not only did he gain Wang Yun's trust and respect, but he participated in the plot to kill Dong Zhuo. He was promoted to general of the bandits and was appointed as the captain of the Si Li. What's even more rare is that he had a good time with Lu Bu and had a happy cooperation. Lu Bu liked him, and the generals under Lu Bu also liked him. They often drank and chatted together, and they were brothers.

In contrast, Wang Yun has a much distant relationship with the famous scholars around him and Lu Bu.

Seeing that Lu Bu was suspicious of him, Cao Cao immediately invited Lu Bu to drink and talked about Nanyang's strategy with Lu Bu. He also believed that Sun Ce was rebellious and it would be difficult for him to be a pure minister. The importance of Nanyang's strategic position is immeasurable. If Nanyang cannot be taken over, it would be difficult for the court to send troops to Guanzhong without distraction. But this matter cannot be urgent. First, Dong Zhuo was just executed, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen and other soldiers in Liangzhou have not yet settled, and second, Sun Jian and his son have not received the edict, so it is unknown whether they will definitely rebel. The rush to go to Nanyang is undoubtedly forcing Sun Ce to rebel, which is obviously not feasible.

After listening to Cao Cao's analysis, Lu Bu's heart was solved and he repeatedly agreed, leading Cao Cao as a confidant. After hearing this, Zhang Liao also felt that Cao Cao was justified and looked at Cao Cao with admiration, making him feel more intimate.

After drinking, Cao Cao left Lu Bu's mansion and did not return to his official office, but went straight to He Yong's house.

He Yong was lying in bed and was talking to Xun You. When he heard that Cao Cao was coming, he was very surprised and immediately asked Xun You to welcome Cao Cao in. Cao Cao quickly stepped to He Yong's bed, leaned over and looked at He Yong's face, and smiled and said, "Bo Qiu's complexion is much better. Can you get up?"

He Yong waved his hand and signaled Cao Cao to sit down and speak. "Meng De, just say anything. Although you care about my injuries, you won't come to see me at this time. What happened?"

Cao Cao turned around and looked at Xun You. "Gongda, have you been to Situ's Mansion recently?"

Xun You nodded.

"Do you think the prince's master is different from before?"

Xun You stroked his beard and said lightly: "It is normal for people to commit to the thief to be successful in one's life, and it is normal for them to be a little excited."

He Yong supported his body and sat up. Cao Cao stepped forward to support him and placed a pillow behind him. He Yong gasped and said, "Tell me, what decision did the Prince Master have? Gongda, you are so, why didn't you tell me earlier."

Xun You remained silent. Cao Cao told Wang Yun that Lu Bu would lead his army to fight against Nanyang, and finally mentioned that Xu Rong's entire army was wiped out, only Zhang Liao fled back to Chang'an. He Yong snorted: "Do you suspect that I hate Sun Ce to seize my family business and encourage the prince's army to conquer Nanyang?"

Cao Cao laughed twice. "Looking at Chang'an, I can't find a second person who can influence the prince."

"You are wrong, I can't affect him either." He Yong sighed, his eyes exhausted. He had just been released from the prison and his mental strength was not good. "The person who can influence the prince's master will either die or be away from Chang'an. Meng De, you arrange a few people to escort Gongda to Hongnong. When this is important, how can Yang Wenxian be idle?"

Cao Cao said, "Boqiu, when this troublesome situation is coming, people are unstable. To deal with the generals of Xiliang, you still need to rely on the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry. It is not advisable to alienate Lu Bu and others. Boqiu should give Lu Bu some face and ask him to arrange someone to escort Gongda to Huayin."

He Yong glanced at Cao Cao and disagreed. Cao Cao said again: "Bo Qiu, I am in a hurry to follow the power. Have you forgotten about Dou Youping and Chen Zhongju? If they can pretend to be a little bit clear, why will they fail? The country is difficult, and it requires both civil and military strength, and the unity is the city. It is not advisable to have a rift."

He Yong still didn't say anything, Xun You took over the topic. "Bo Qiu, what General Cao said is reasonable. Lu Bu originally had the intention of being too big to lose his position, but now there are more than a thousand cavalry including Zhang Liao, and the troops are stronger. Zhang Liao was once a clerk of He Jin. Once he came back, He Jin and He Miao's old subordinates would probably surrender to him. The soldiers of the Northern Army under General Cao might not be able to balance it."

He Yong thought for a moment and nodded. "Since that's the case, Gongda, you take my name to see Lu Bu, and ask him to arrange for Zhang Liao to escort you to Huayin, and ask Yang Wen to come to Chang'an first. Be careful. Since Niu Fu and others have arrived in Tongguan, you may encounter them."

"It's okay." Xun You was confident.

Seeing that the purpose was achieved, He Yong looked listless again. Cao Cao left a box of salvia miltiorrhiza and retreated with awareness. He Yong looked at the box of salvia miltiorrhiza and sighed: "Sun Ce, son, I will destroy my home, but I still want to relieve my cheeks for him. It's really angering me."

"What Bo Qiu wants is for the world, but why is Sun Ce?"

He Yong smiled bitterly. "Gongda, don't persuade me. I'm just an ordinary person after all, not a saint."

"This is the situation, so Boqiu can't do it if he doesn't want to be a saint."

He Yong's heart moved and looked at Xun You in confusion. "Gongda, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Boqiu, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, before Wang Situ surrendered, he wanted to conquer Nanyang. Was he too careless about the generals of Xiliang? The decision to pardon the generals of Liangzhou had already been decided, but the edict was delayed. The generals of Xiliang were panicked. If a life change, it would not be that Hongnong was in danger. The entire Chang'an might launch a new war. Luoyang has been destroyed, Yuan Shao's troops were in Guandong, and he was not determined to rebel and was not enough to defend himself. Now he can rely on Guanzhong. If Chang'an is destroyed again, where will the emperor go?"

He Yong frowned. He understood Xun You's words and Wang Yun had a serious underestimation of the enemy. If the handling was not done properly, a major war would likely occur in Chang'an, further weakening the prestige of the court.

"What's the best way for you?"

"I want to go to Niu Fu's army and meet someone."

"who?"

"Jia Xu."

"Jia Xu?" He Yong looked confused. "Who is he? Is it very important?"

Xun You's face was calm. "Niu Fu's common man, and the generals of Xiliang were all generals, and they were not worth worrying about. Jia Xu was a rare wise man in Liangzhou and had a good plan. If he had a plan for Niu Fu, it would not be a blessing for the court."

He Yong was skeptical. However, he always believed in Xun You's vision and ability. Since Xun You proposed so carefully, he had to accept it. He forced himself to write the famous sting with him and asked Xun You to take it to see Lu Bu.

He Yong was a well-known ranger in the world. Although Xun You was not very famous at this time, he was Xun Shuang's follower, and he was also a famous scholar. Xun You came to see him with He Yong's name. Lu Bu was so happy that he didn't know the east, west, south and north. He agreed to Xun You's request and immediately arranged for Zhang Liao to escort Xun You to Huayin and invite Yang Biao.

The next day, Zhang Liao ordered his troops and left Chang'an with Xun You. Cao Cao led Xi Zhicai and others out of the city to see him off. Next to the Baqiao, Cao Cao held Xun You's car and said, "Have Gongda heard of Jia Xu?"

"I heard a little, and I heard that he is in Niu Fu's army."

"When the Duke reached Huayin, he would not be careful to go east for a few more steps. When he saw this person, he might be of great benefit to major events." Cao Cao sighed. "If you can use it, use it. If you can't use it, you can find a way to kill it so as not to leave any future troubles."
