"Lu Su? Who is it?"

Cao Cao frowned, and all the officials in the hall looked confused, but only Liu Fu, the Sikong Mansion's officer, looked as usual.

He took refuge in Yangzhou a few years ago and had a good understanding of the customs and customs of Huainan.

Liu Fu then stood up and bowed to introduce: "Lu Su, whose courtesy name was Zijing, lost his father when he was young and was raised by his grandmother. He is generous, has a strong personality, is knowledgeable, and is good at riding and shooting. He is quite famous in the Jianghuai River. I heard that he served as the chief of Dongcheng under Yuan Shu."

Hearing the four words "majestic" in appearance, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Xun Yu, thinking that some things were really upside down, but these advisers were born with a good reputation.

What's the use of growing that tall? It doesn't charge.

Seeing that Liu Fu had introduced him, Cao Cao and everyone did not say anything, Liu Xun continued to add: "In the past, Liu Ziyang was in Lujiang and praised Lu Su as having the talent of assisting the world. Otherwise, with the ability of Long Xiang, he would not be able to gain a foothold in Hefei."

"No."

Cao Cao frowned and shook his head, stroked his beard and said seriously: "If there is a talent for assisting the world, if no one uses it well, it will also be a secret pearl, just like Han Xin, which is as unsuccessful as Han Xin. Since Long Xiang can use Lu Su well, it means that he is a capable person. Long and Long Yunqi rises later? It's interesting."

"I seem to remember this 'talent of the Samantha' was Xu Zijiang (Xu Shao)'s comment to Liu Ziyang (Liu Ye). He turned to evaluate Lu Su?" Xun Yu turned around to confirm with Xun You.

Xun You nodded and said, "Maybe the two are friends."

Seeing Xun's uncle and nephew mention Xu Shao, Cao Cao's thoughts were suddenly pulled back many years ago. It took a lot of trouble to ask Xu Shao for comments, but the saying "The capable ministers in the world and the treacherous heroes in the troubled times" are all now.

After coming back to his senses, Cao Cao immediately asked Liu Xun: "Since Liu Ziyang was in Lujiang, why didn't Zitai bring him Xu Du?"

Liu Xun clasped his fists and replied: "I sent troops to Shang Liao at that time. I wanted to take him by my side to take charge of military aircraft, but unfortunately he was sick and could not travel far. Later, Wan County fell into the hands of Sun Ce. I don't know if he was captured and went to Jiangdong or was exiled to another place."

"Liu Ziyang is a famous scholar in Huainan. Sun Ce will never dare to use force. He should still live in seclusion in Huainan."

Cao Cao frowned: "The country is at the time of employment, and two talents from the Apostles are wandering outside, which is actually a pearl covered with dust."

"Ming Gong and Yan Wenze (Yan Xiang) were killed, and the position of the governor of Yangzhou was suspended for several months. We should take advantage of the opportunity of Sun Quan and Li Shu to fight the military and select the new governor to take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible, and secretly recruit talents like Liu Ziyang to contribute to the court, but it is best to choose someone familiar with the situation in Huainan."

Liu Xun was driven out of Huainan by Sun Ce, and his family was trapped in Wan County. He had a grudge against the Sun family, so he tactfully reminded Cao Cao to choose himself.

After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded slightly and turned to ask Xun Yu for his opinion.

"Wenruo, who do you think is suitable?"

"I don't have any candidates for the time being, so please consider it by Ming Gong."

There are smart people in the hall, and you can understand Liu Xun's implicit sounds.

Xun Yu sold his face only one of the main reasons because Yan Xiang was recommended by him, but he did not make any achievements but was lured and killed by villains. It was a bit inappropriate to recommend him again now.

Politics is so strange. Cao Cao publicly asked Xun Yu to recommend talents, not because of his original intention, but because Xun Yu refused in public. Otherwise, the position of an official position like the governor would not be discussed in front of others, and the two of them would make a decision in private.

What's more, the situation in Huainan is complicated, Yan Xiang lost his head inexplicably, and Xun Yu had no need to let his own people suffer anymore. With his wise mind, he understood that Cao Cao had someone to choose, so he took the initiative with the flow.

Cao Cao understood the truth, nodded slightly to Xun Yu, looking at Liu Xun with relief: "Zi Tai said so much. The new governor of Yangzhou must be familiar with the situation there. Yuanying (Liu Fu), it seems that this position is yours."

"Ah? I will never be humiliated." Liu Fu looked flattered.

Xun Yu's face is Gu Jing Bubo, and he laughs in his heart that Liu Xun is making marriage for others. He thinks that although you have an old relationship with your lord, Liu Fu is a close minister of the lord and a subordinate of the Sikong Mansion (Secretary of the Prime Minister). He is ranked first in front of you in terms of seniority.

Seeing that Cao Cao made the decision, Xun Yu immediately agreed: "Yuan Ying is familiar with the customs and customs of Yangzhou, and it is very appropriate for him to serve as the governor. However, Huainan is now in a complex situation. You must be careful after you go, and don't repeat the mistakes of Wen Ze (Yan Xiang)."

Liu Fu bowed to thank him: "I will definitely not forget Xun Lingjun's instructions."

Seeing that Liu Fu was sincere, Xun Yu couldn't help but remind him a few more words.

"It is said that Shouchun was occupied by the bandit Mei Cheng, so you have to think about where to set up the capital. The soldiers have just experienced the Guandu War, and Sikong may not be able to use troops in Huainan for the time being."

"Um"

Liu Fu nodded and saluted Cao Cao solemnly: "I think Gongda (Xun You)'s plan to raise a tiger just now, and the lord seems to be quite interested. If I can get an imperial edict from the court, I will be confident that I will ride alone to Huainan to take office."

"What kind of edict?"

Seeing Cao Cao stroked his beard with curiosity, Liu Fu explained: "Sun has secured control of Jiangdong and is eager to do anything. If Sun Quan defeats Li Shu and seizes Lujiang, he will definitely pass by Hefei in the future. I plan to set up his capital in Hefei, hoping that the court can win over Longxiang's official position and use him to curb Sun Quan."

"Sun Quan reported that Long Xiang was the commander of the southern part of Jiujiang. Yuan Ying (Liu Fu) asked me to follow the flow?" Cao Cao asked tentatively.

Xun Yu thought about it and stepped forward to offer advice: "There is no need to fulfill Sun Quan's intention. As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under heavy rewards. What is the commander of the southern part of Jiujiang? Why not let him be the prefect of Lujiang?"

"Hahaha"

Cao Cao smiled happily and said, "Wenruo, you really have you. With such a conspiracy, Sun Quan will doubt Long Xiang, and Yuan Ying will make a profit."

Xun Yu stroked his beard and added: "I don't know if Longxiang and Lu Su are close. After Yuan Ying arrived in Hefei, he could become the prefectural official and slowly undermine Longxiang to seize control of Hefei."

"Xun Lingjun"

"What's wrong with Zitai?"

When Liu Xun saw that Xun Yu had made suggestions for Liu Fu, he was unhappy and decided to pour cold water on him.

"Longxiang is very cautious under Qiao Rui's command. He is unwilling to make military achievements every time he participates in the war. Instead, he chooses to escape with his troops. He is jokingly called "Long Paopao" because of his cowardly battle.

A few years ago, the lord used troops to encircle Qi County. I heard that this person offered a plan to break through and finally returned to Shouchun successfully. It is not easy for a person as meticulous as him to be in a fictional way."

"In this way, Long Xiang really has some skills. Yuan Ying should be careful when he goes to Hefei."

Xun Yu smiled and nodded, and simply told Liu Fu to be careful, he cleverly resolved Liu Xun's offensive.

Cao Cao suddenly realized: "It turned out that this guy was a bad thing at the beginning."

"Meng De, since Long Xiang is the Qiao Rui tribe, he has such a cunning personality. He participated in the battle in Qi County, maybe he was the villain who hurt me."

Xiahou Dun covered his left eye, and he could not forget the arrow.

Cao Cao responded solemnly: "There is also a possibility. I can only wait for Yuan Ying to go to Hefei and then investigate secretly."

"Um."

Xiahou Dun nodded and turned to confirm with Liu Xun:

"Is Longxiang loyal and righteous to Qiao Rui?"

"It's not just loyalty and righteousness, it can be said that the master and servant have a deep affection. In addition, last year, Yuan Shu died of illness, and Qiao Rui's family followed Yuan Yin and moved to Wan County, they were picked up by Longxiang and soldiers."

Halfway through Liu Xun's speech, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and then added meaningfully: "It is reported that Qiao Rui's two daughters should be trapped in Hefei now."

Xiahou Dun was puzzled when he heard this, what do you say to women well?

Suddenly he saw Cao Cao's expression strange, thinking that Meng De would not have any ideas, right?
