Chapter Five Thirty-Nine Cao Cao's Visit to Great Talents
Cheng Yu said to Xu Huang, "General, there is an old general who is here to visit here in Luoyang at this time. I wonder if the general wants to see him?"
Xu Huang looked at Cheng Yu with a smile on his face. When he heard this again, his heart trembled for no reason. He thought, was this really the case?
At this time, his eyes widened, he glared at Cheng Yu, and said, "How dare every man do this?"
Cheng Yu was not afraid at all. At this time, he smiled, "Haha! General calm down. Our army did not rude to the general's family. Yu just said that the general had already followed the lord, so he invited them to Luoyang to meet the general!"
Xu Huang thought to himself that he had really fallen completely today. Cao Cao and Cao Mengde grabbed his weakness immediately. Isn’t this just to be able to serve under his tent? He smiled bitterly at this moment. If he had known this, he would have come to Luoyang long ago. Is it necessary to do so? However, in Xu Huang’s thoughts, since Cao Cao and his wife were in control of his wife and children, they did not use this to threaten him. As for saying it at this time, this is a common trick, and he doesn’t understand it.
Of course, Cao Cao and the others didn't know what Xu Huang was thinking, but they actually had their own ideas. The general naturally wanted to capture Xu Huang alive, while Cheng Yu thought that he would use Xu Huang's wife and children to put pressure on him so that he could serve his lord.
As for Cao Cao, of course he couldn't say that it was my Cao Mengde's idea to invite your Xu Huang's wife and children to Luoyang. So he pushed all the matter to Cheng Yu, and naturally Cheng Yu was responsible for this matter. It was all done by him, Cheng Yu alone, and it had nothing to do with him.
So this is the subordinate, and sometimes he has to take the blame for his lord. The simplest truth is. If Cao Cao doesn't nod and agree to this matter, would Cheng Yu dare to take the initiative? So, if you think about it carefully, you will know that Cao Cao will never admit anything. But Xu Huang of course understands, but he doesn't think so much now, or he just doesn't care about this.
At this time, Cheng Yu clapped three times and shouted, "Please come in!"
As a result, a woman came into the house with a three or four-year-old child, and the two were Xu Huang's wife and son. After they entered the house, they greeted Cao Cao and everyone. Everyone was also polite. After all, they were giving Xu Huang face.
When Xu Huang saw the two of them, he ignored anything else and came directly to them.
"You, are you okay?"
Xu Huang's wife said, "Husband, Nu and Zhier are good. I just heard from Mr. Zhongde that you have already served under Mr. Cao's account. Mr. Zhongde specially asked us mother and son to come over and see you!"
Xu Huangxin said, "It's so calculating, so calculating. What else can he say now? It's all Cao Cao and the others' plan to make me profit? Are you using you to deceive me into joining him?
Xu Huang sighed in his heart at this moment, saying that this is the will of heaven. What else can be done if God is like this?
Xu Huang bowed to Cao Cao, "Thank you, lord!"
One sentence represents Xu Huang's attitude at this time. After hearing this, Cao Cao smiled and finally got what he wanted. He smiled. "Hahaha! Gongming doesn't have to do this, no need to do this, this is a trivial matter!"
Cheng Yu looked at Xu Huang and his lord, thinking that this other half was finally complete, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, in the end you have to serve under my lord's account, haha, how about it?
After that, everyone was very happy. Only Xu Huang's wife didn't know the inside story. She was a crowd who didn't know the truth, and everyone else knew it. But at this time, it was no longer important to know or not. Isn't it better to be confused? Finally, Cao Cao personally hosted a banquet to entertain Xu Huang, and then introduced him and his subordinates to each other. After everyone met each other, Xu Huang joined Cao's camp.
-----------------------------------------------------
A day later, Cao Cao and Xu Huang chatted. After all, Xu Huang had just worked as a substitute for him, and he was half forced, so Cao Cao also attached great importance to his ideological work. Although he didn't think Xu Huang would betray him easily, he had to settle his heart earlier. Although Cao Cao didn't expect him to be able to serve him at this time, he could do his best to do his best to do whatever he arranged for him, so that he would be content.
But now, Cao Cao also knows that it is probably a little different from what he thinks. But he is not so anxious. After all, it’s better to take this matter slowly. It’s nothing. I believe Xu Huang will do this sooner or later.
Cao Cao said to Xu Huang at this time, "Gong Ming is very skilled in martial arts, I wonder who he is studying under?"
Xu Huang smiled, "It's nothing more to go back to the lord, but it's just a family-leading martial arts. But there are countless people in the world who are more skilled in martial arts than their subordinates!"
Cao Cao nodded with a smile: "Is what Gongming said to be Cui Fuda and Zhang Yide in the Liangzhou army?"
Xu Huang still nodded, but then shook his head again, "Lord, Cui Fuda, Zhang Yide's martial arts are indeed not comparable to those of his subordinates. Putting aside the tiger Lu Bu Lu Feng, let alone the world is like Cui Fuda, and Zhang Yide's martial arts are also many! Not to mention it, there is a fellow villager below, who is from Jie County, Hedong. His surname is Guan Yu and his name is Yunchang. His martial arts are indeed inferior to his own person!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately became interested. A person with higher martial arts skills than Xu Huang, wouldn’t that mean...
So Cao Cao asked, "I don't know who he is a general under the tent? Why have I never heard of his name?"
Cao Cao was also a little confused. If this person had such martial arts skills, he should have heard of him.
As a result, Xu Huang smiled, "Lord, he may not be in anybody's account now, so..."
After saying this, Cao Cao understood, but at this time his interest was even greater, so he asked: "I wonder if Gongming can tell where Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang are now?"
Xu Huang thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Lord, the specific location of Guan Yunchang is now, but I don't know if it's because it's two years ago since the last meeting. But I heard from him that he seems to be coming to Luoyang, and I don't know if this is the case."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and thought to himself. Do you think Luoyang? If he was really in Luoyang, then he would have to find this person named Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang. Now he doesn’t have such a talent in his escort. If he could get help from this person, Cao Cao felt that he would be even more powerful, right?
In this way, Cao Cao listened to Xu Huang's words. He was firmly convinced of this. Then, according to what Xu Huang described, someone painted a picture of Guan Yu's painting. After that, he sent a lot of scouts to search for him quietly in Luoyang City. If Guan Yu was found, he would not be able to make a statement. He came to report and after confirming, he would be rewarded.
-----------------------------------------------------
As a result, Cao Cao had just given the order. To be precise, less than a day later, the soldiers came to report that they had found someone who was suspected of Guan Yu. From the portrait, it should be that the person was right. When the market opened, he met him, but someone was watching him. Some came to report to Cao Cao what he knew.
When Cao Cao heard this, he thought it was OK. At this moment, he happened to have nothing to do, so hurry up and go there. Of course, Cao Cao must not just go there. He put on makeup, to put it bluntly, he changed into clothes from ordinary people and dressed like an old farmer. Originally, Cao Cao was not very tall and his appearance was not amazing. But one thing must be admitted is that people with real vision can see the temperament of the superiors revealed by the person, and they are definitely not ordinary people.
In this way, Cao Cao dressed up, and then he asked Cheng Yu, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Xu Huang to dress up. After all, he wanted to take them out. If they didn't dress up, wouldn't he be so worried? After Cheng Yu and the others were all done, Cao Cao asked Tanma to lead him to the western market in Luoyang. Tanma said that Guan Yu was doing a small business there.
Not long after, Cao Cao and his friends came to the western city of Luoyang. Under the leadership of the horse, they found the horse left here in front of an alley. The horse naturally recognized Cao Cao and quickly wanted to salute, "Master..."
The horse was about to talk about the lord, but Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "What's the situation?"
The left-behind Tamma pointed to a street stall that was not too close to them and said, "Lord, military advisor and generals, this person is the person in the painting, and his small eyes will never be mistaken!"
Although Cao Cao did not fully believe it, he had some confidence in the elite scouts of his Yanzhou army, so he had already believed it at this time.
So he said, "Okay, you can leave first. If it is this person, you should remember a great achievement!"
"promise!"
The two lieutenants wanted to say thank you, but when they thought about how they were before, they left after they agreed.
When Cao Cao saw it, he said to Xu Huang: "Gongming is waiting here first!"
"promise!"
"Zhongde, Miaocai and Zixiao, all come with me!"
"No!" "No!" "No!"
Cao Cao took Cheng Yu, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren over. Cao Cao only brought three of them and Xu Huang, but no one else brought them, which proved that in his eyes, it was the most appropriate to take them to convince Guan Yu. As for the others, Cao Cao felt that it was not suitable.
The four of them walked towards Guan Yu's street stall, and when they got closer, Cao Cao and the others noticed. This person should be said to be Guan Yu, why did he set up a stall, but he didn't say anything like others shouting, nor did he focus on his business. He held a book in his hand, and didn't know which one it was, but he read it very seriously.
Cao Cao thought at this moment, probably this person is right. You probably can't find a person who set up a stall and reads books in the entire Luoyang City, and Cao Cao could naturally see that this person was definitely not pretending, but actually saw it. However, Cao Cao didn't understand one thing. Since this person could read the book, why did he still set up a stall here?
Was he imitating Jiang Shang fishing in Wei River? The wisher took the bait? But then Cao Cao shook his head immediately. How could this be possible? He thought that this person was definitely not like this. He was indeed reading a book seriously, Cao Cao said. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
