After hearing Cheng Yu's plan, Cao Cao looked happy, clapped his hands and said appreciatively to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, this plan is wonderful."
"Thank you for the compliment, my lord.
It is my duty to make suggestions for my lord."
After hearing Cao Cao's compliments, Cheng Yu bowed slightly and said to Cao Cao modestly.
Cao Cao nodded.
His original goal was the land of Yuzhou and Xuzhou.
Although the strategy Cheng Yu mentioned was not to attack Xuzhou and Yuzhou, this strategy would help Cao Cao expand his land and prepare for the future attack on Xuzhou.
""Cao Cao looked to the right.
His originally joyful face became a little darker, and he carefully looked at the civil servants under his hands with his deep eyes.
Who should be sent as envoy to Yuan Shao?
As Cao Cao's number one counselor, Xun Yu had quite good attainments in both military and political matters.
However, Xun Yu was originally Yuan Shao's subordinate, but in the end he abandoned Yuan Shao and joined Cao Cao.
If Xun Yu was allowed to come out, it would be Yuan Shao.
If so, with Yuan Shao's temper, this cooperation may be doomed.
Xi Zhicai, who was sitting next to Xun Yu, was Cao Cao's mastermind.
He was not only resourceful, but also eloquent.
Such a person was the first choice to send Yuan Shao as an envoy, but Cao Cao directly rejected it.
Xi Zhicai is too frail and sick.
The journey to Yecheng is long and the weather is freezing.
I am afraid Xi Zhicai's body will not be able to sustain it.
Then Cao Cao turned his eyes to the side again.
Cheng Yu looked serious.
Cheng Yu was not much different from Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu.
However, this person had a more serious personality and was not good at speaking.
What did he talk about every time?
He can always talk about happy things to death.
If he is allowed to go, success or failure is unknown.
As for other civil servants such as Man Chong, although they are outstanding in their respective fields, they are unable to take on this important task and are not suitable to be sent as envoys to Yuan Shao.
"Lord" Xi Zhicai was sitting below, looking at Cao Cao's gloomy expression, coughing slightly, and then shouted to Cao Cao softly.
"Zhicai, what's wrong?"
Cao Cao heard Xi Zhicai's cry and immediately came back to his senses.
He looked at Xi Zhicai below with a somewhat anxious expression and asked.
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao like this, shook his head helplessly, coughed a few times, and said softly to Cao Cao: "My lord, are you considering who is the most suitable person to send Yuan Shao as an envoy?"
"Those who know me, Zhicai is also the person who is on the mission to Yuan Shao this time.
It is very important.
Not only must he persuade Yuan Shao to agree to this cooperation, but he must also further strengthen the friendly relationship between the two parties.
We must not be careless."
Cao Cao looked down and looked a little confused.
The yellowed Xi Zhicai sighed helplessly and said to Xi Zhicai.
"Mr.
Cao, why don't you let me go this time?"
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xun Yu immediately got up from his seat with a smile on his face and looked at Cao Cao and said seriously.
"It's necessary Wenruo, it's not like you don't know who Benchu is."
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao immediately waved his hand and objected to Xun Yu's proposal.
After all, Cao Cao knew very well who Yuan Shao was.

After all, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were both We were inseparable friends back then.
If you came over, it would be fine if Yuan Shao didn't scold you, let alone talk about cooperation.
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu's face was still so calm.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally nodded helplessly to express his agreement with Cao Cao, and finally had to sit back obediently.
"Lord, just let me go."
Xi Zhicai watched Xun Yu sit down, immediately saluted Cao Cao with a serious face, and then said to Cao Cao seriously.
"I need Zhicai's help for this.
Zhicai should stay by my side properly."
Cao Cao couldn't bear to let Xi Zhicai take such a risk, so he had no choice but to panic to Xi Zhicai.
"Lord" Suddenly there was a soldier knocking on the door and then facing the people inside the meeting hall.
Cao Cao heard a sound outside and subconsciously put his hand on the scabbard of the sword at his waist.
He stared at the door like an eagle and said to the outside in a sinister tone: "Who is it?
" "Lord, I am Hou Er.
There is a person outside who claims to be an old friend of the lord and wants to see the lord.
I don't know the lord."
The guard outside who came to report the news was startled by the sound coming from the room and said to him tremblingly.
He said in a trembling tone in the room.
"Old friend" Cao Cao looked a little surprised when he heard what the guard said.
Then he stood up slightly, pressed his hand on his sword, and slowly came to the door of the room.
Cao Cao walked around the door of the room a few times, then looked outside through the paper-covered opening on his door, and found that there was only one figure outside.
Finally, he gently took his hand away from the sword on his waist, and then faced outside.
The guard said: "You take him to the side room, I will go there in a moment."
"Yes."
After hearing what Cao Cao said, the guard breathed a sigh of relief and hurried towards the gate of the mansion.
"Old friends come to visit me.
I really know how to choose the right time."
Cao Cao lowered his head and sighed helplessly.
Then he turned around and found that his subordinates were staring at him.
He coughed slightly, and then said to him with a soft face.
They said: "You guys are chatting here now, let me go and send away two old friends, and we will discuss it later."
"Yes."
When the subordinates heard what Cao Cao said, they quickly stood up from their positions, bowed to Cao Cao, and murmured to Cao Cao in unison.
Cao Cao looked at the courtiers who were so respectful to him, touched his beard, with a hint of joy on his face, then turned around and gently opened the door and walked towards the side room.
Cao Cao went around a few corners and came to his side room, then walked in and sat on the main seat with a calm expression.
Not long after, the guard named Hou Er brought in a scribe.
The scribe had his head lowered, so that Cao Cao could not see his face clearly.
"You can retreat now."
Cao Cao stretched out his head and stared over there to finish.
He found that the scribe still lowered his head tightly and couldn't see his face clearly, so he straightened up helplessly.
Looking at the guard next to the scribe, he said to him in a serious tone.
Cao Cao saw that the guard had gone away, then looked at the scribe, and said to him with a doubtful tone: "I don't know which old friend is here to visit me, Mr.
Cao."
"We say goodbye to Meng De in the capital.
I'm afraid we haven't seen each other for three or four years."
After hearing Cao Cao's words, the scribe laughed softly from his lowered head, and then raised his head.

Head, he said to Cao Cao with a joyful expression.
"You are?"
Cao Cao looked at the scribe in front of him with a strange expression, but the more he looked at the scribe, the more familiar he became.
"Meng De was the captain of Xiyuan back then, and I was just a Huangmen servant."
The scribe looked at Cao Cao's confused look, and said to Cao Cao with a wry smile on his face.
"You are Xun Gongda" Cao Cao heard what the scribe said and quickly searched his memory in his mind.
Finally he looked at the face in front of him and thought of the name of the scribe in front of him, so he shouted out in surprise.
"We met He Mengde once at the banquet hosted by Cai Gong that day.
I didn't expect that Mengde would still remember it now."
Xun You showed a playful smile and looked at Cao Cao in front of him and said.
"Gongda, why did you come to visit me this time?"
Cao Cao looked at Xun You with a hint of amusement.
Although his face also had a smile, his eyes were full of doubts, and he stared at Xun You curiously and asked .
"I was originally ordered to serve in Shu, but Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, blocked my way to Shu.
I heard that Mengde had captured Yanzhou, so I came to visit.
Besides, I haven't seen my uncle for a long time. , I also stopped by to visit my uncle."
Xun You was originally going to the land of Bashu. , went to serve as a local official, but Liu Biao blocked the road to prevent bandits from entering Jingzhou.
Xun You was forced to have no choice but not to return to Chang'an.
He heard that Cao Cao was developing well in Yanzhou, so he came to Chenliu to see him.
When I met Cao Cao, I stopped by to visit my uncle Xun Yu
