"Huh?"
Xu Chu was dumbfounded.
In front of the Xiao Manor.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Even Cao Cao couldn't help but turn his head to look elsewhere.
Xu Chu looked around in confusion and asked,"Mister Meng, Old Dian, you guys?”
"Cough cough!"
Dian Wei coughed dryly and said," Zhongkang, this is Cao Gong, the herdsman of Yanzhou. I am the commandant under Cao Gong. Today, I have come to invite you to come out of the mountain and become an official!"”
"Cao Mengde?"
"Dian Wei?"
Xu Chu's complicated gaze fell on the two of them.
He did not expect that the person who matched his temperament was actually the famous Dian Wei of Er 'Lai. The former Mister Meng was even the governor of a province.
"Phew!"
Cao Cao took a deep breath and asked,"Zhongkang, is Xinzhi awake?"”
"Yes!"
Xu Chu opened the door.
He extended his hand and invited everyone to enter the mansion.
After entering the residence.
Everyone immediately scanned the specifications of the residence.
Hundreds of Xu family soldiers were actively cleaning up the courtyard and the aftermath of last night's barbecue.
"Good strongman!"
Xun Yu said with a complicated gaze.
Xu Chu said proudly," That's right. These are all brothers of the Xu family. They were invited by Xinzhi to protect him!"”
"Haha!"
Xun Yu smiled faintly." Have you ever thought about joining the army? If you join the Lord's army, you will definitely be an existence that can rival tens of thousands of people in the future. At that time, you will shock the world. You can be said to be an existence that can be conferred the title of Marquis and General!”
"No rush!"
Xu Chu shook his head.
He was well-developed, not a fool.
Naturally, he knew that the future of his and the Xu family was tied to Xiao Nan, not Xun Yu.
"Alright then!"
Xun Yu was disappointed.
Everyone walked around the long corridor and went to the backyard.
He saw Xiao Nan squatting on the ground, brushing his teeth with a willow branch dipped in coarse salt.
Although they hadn't seen each other for a day, Cao Cao felt as if it had been three years. He said excitedly,"Xinzhi!"
"Gulp!"
Xiao Nan spat out the mouthwash and said with a complicated expression,""General Cao, why do you have to do this? If you have 50,000 dan of grain, it will not be difficult to take back Yanzhou. Xun Wenruo, Cheng Zhongde, and Xi Zhicai, which one of them is not stronger than me?”
"It's different!"
Cao Cao's expression did not change.
He knew that he couldn't hide his identity from Xiao Nan.
"Enter the hall!"
Xiao Nan shook his head helplessly.
He had already reached his limit today.
After all, the three requests for a counselor were not what ordinary people could do. Cao Cao could do what Liu Bei could not do, and Liu Bei could do what Cao Cao could not do.
They entered the back hall.
Everyone took their seats.
Left civil and right martial, only the left head and the main seat were empty.
Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren, and the others looked at Xiao Nan.
Seeing this!
Cao Cao lifted his robe and sat on the seat of honor on the left.
Today, they were the ones who came to invite Xiao Nan to be an official. How could they steal the limelight?
"Pa!"
Xiao Nan sat down.
Xu Chu quickly sat on the last seat on the right.
"Everyone!"
Xiao Nan took a sip of the tea that Ah Zhu and the attendant had served and said in a deep voice,""Now that Yanzhou has fallen, only Juancheng, Dong 'e, and Nanfan can be defended. When do you think we can take back Yanzhou?”
"Hmm?"
The generals all had gloomy expressions.
Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said indifferently,""In less than two years!"
"The end of next year!"
Xi Zhicai said solemnly.
Xun Yu laughed lightly and said,"When Sir enters the Lord's shogunate, Yanzhou will be back!"”
"Haha!"
Xiao Nan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Xun Wenruo was still that talented assistant. His words made him speechless.
"Xinzhi!"
Cao Cao hesitated.
Xiao Nan looked at the civil and military officials and said in a deep voice,""I can enter General Cao's shogunate, but I usually only join the army and make remonstrances. I don't care about major matters, and I plan to take back Yanzhou. I hope General Cao can change the military system!”
"Why?"
Cao Cao's heart sank.
All the generals had gloomy expressions, and even Cao Hong's hand began to grip the hilt of his sword.
"Da!"
Xiao Nan knocked on the table, his gaze swept across the generals, and said in a deep voice,""Because the power of the army is in the hands of General Cao's relatives. They may be trusted, but it is unfair to the generals. Moreover, they will rely on their own temperament when marching!”
"Sure!"
Cao Cao said decisively.
"My lord!"
"I'm not unconvinced!"
Yu Jin and Li Dian stood up and called out.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a complicated expression," Xinzhi is right. Today, it is just a province. The generals under me are all relatives. However, if we expand our territory in the future and there are many generals, there will definitely be internal strife in the army!”
"Here!"
The two bowed.
Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and the others remained silent.
Perhaps Cao Cao was right, and so was Xiao Nan, but they still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Second!"
Xiao Nan continued," If necessary, General Cao is not in front of the army, and no one can take charge. I hope that in an emergency, I can mobilize all the troops and have the right to disobey orders!”
"Impossible!"
"Xiao Nan, how dare you!"
"Brat, how dare you!"
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and the other generals rebuked in unison.
Even Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and the others felt that Xiao Nan was crazy.
"Why?"
Cao Cao's eyes were solemn.
This kind of power had already surpassed the civil and military officials, and was comparable to the Great Sima and the General of the Flying Cavalry of the Han Dynasty!
"Very simple!"
Xiao Nan smiled lightly." Because, if General Cao is in front of me, I can speak. But if he isn't here, when facing life and death, I only believe in myself. If General Cao doesn't allow it, I can still buy 50,000 dan of grain!”
"My lord!"
"This matter cannot be allowed!"
Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu stood up and said.
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and asked,"Wen Ruo, why didn't you refute?"”
"Haha!"
Xun Yu shook his head and smiled faintly." Today, we will enter the manor. We will either take 50,000 dans of grain or invite Xiao Xinzhi out. All the decisions are in the lord's mind. I think no one can shake the lord's mind!”
"Is that so?"
Cao Cao muttered.
