Luoyang, General Manor.
In a hall that was isolated from the outside world, He Jin sat at the head of the table and looked at Yuan Shao who was sitting below. Cao Cao and the others could not help but sigh,
"After today's morning court session, Jian Shuo and the others took the opportunity to speak to His Majesty, asking me to lead troops to attack Bian Zhang and Han Sui in the west.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually accepted their advice and rewarded me with a hundred chariots, tigers, axes, and axes. He also issued an edict for me to choose a date to leave Luoyang.
It would be fine if it was any other time, but now that the Han family has yet to establish its throne, I must not leave Luoyang at this time.
Therefore, I have secretly called you all here today to ask if you have any good ideas for me?”
"Humph! It was the Ten Attendants again! Such a person who could bring disaster to the country and the people should be killed!”
Hearing this, the famous Runan scholar, He Yong, immediately shouted.
"Right now, fighting for the First Prince's position is the most important matter.
As long as the First Prince succeeded to the throne, the execution of officials would be a matter of a single word.”
At this moment, a man with a face as white as jade, a mustache, and a brocade robe on He Yong's left said calmly.
Following his words, many scholars in the hall echoed.
Obviously, this man had quite a reputation among these people.
"What I said is right, but the imperial edict has been issued. What can we do?”
Hearing this, the Imperial Censor Zheng Tai frowned slightly.
As he spoke, the entire hall fell silent again.
Seeing this, He Jin could not help but shake his head and sigh.
"If only we had a strategist among us who was good at making plans.
"If we encounter such a situation, we won't be as helpless as we are today.”
Hearing this, He Yong immediately said,
"Great General, since you have such intentions, why don't you recruit the world-shaking Xun Zhen and Xun Wenyuan?”
When He Jin heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said,
"I tried to recruit him before, but he always used excuses to avoid me and didn't seem willing to interact with me.”
Hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but glance at Cao Cao, who had been silent all this while.
Actually, not only did He Jin try to recruit this Xun Zhen, even this Yuan Shao had privately extended an olive branch to Xun Zhen many times.
In order to show his respect for the wise, Yuan Shao had even personally visited Xun Zhen's manor outside Luoyang.
Unfortunately, for some reason, Xun Zhen was either using an excuse to shirk his responsibility or an excuse that he was not at home.
After a few times, Yuan Shao also lost interest. Immediately, he lost all thoughts.
However, it was strange. You could say that Xun Zhen was arrogant, but Cao Cao, who was his childhood friend, liked him very much.
Although Cao Cao's family status was not low, he was still the descendant of a eunuch.
Among the scholars, his reputation was definitely not comparable to the Yuan family, who had four generations and three dukes!
Regarding this, it was impossible for Yuan Shao to say that he was not jealous.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but slightly cupped his hands towards He Jin and said,
"Xun Wenyuan doesn't want to see General He, but I heard that he has a good relationship with Meng.
General, why don't you send Meng De to ask him about the plan?”
"Benchu, you…"
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Cao Cao's expression changed and he glared at him.
And when He Jin heard Yuan Shao's words, he immediately rejoiced and said,
"This is a good idea! Meng De, are you willing to ask this general?
Don't worry, if this matter can be resolved, he can ask for anything he wants!
Even the position of the General of the Flying Cavalry can be given to him!”
Hearing He Jin's words, Cao Cao knew that there was no turning back. He could only brace himself and cupped his hands,
"Alright, then I will ask on behalf of the Great General.”
...........
"Yuan Benchu is really something! Why did he drag Wenyuan into this?
I, Cao Mengde, am living such a cowardly life. I can't even protect my best friend!”
Sitting in the carriage that was leaving Luoyang, Cao Cao thought about what happened at He Jin's residence and felt a sense of depression in his heart.
"A real man can't be without power for a day! Otherwise, everything would be controlled by others!
I, Cao Mengde, will never let what happened today happen again!”
Thinking of this, Cao Cao could not help but punch the wooden board of the carriage.
At this moment, the seed of ambition grew wildly in Cao Cao's heart.
Soon, the carriage arrived at Xun Zhen's manor outside Luoyang.
After being informed by the servants in the manor, Cao Cao quickly met Xun Zhen.
"Meng De, is there something you need from me today?”
At this moment, Xun Zhen looked playfully at Cao Cao, who was hesitating and stuttering.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm here to drink with Wen Yuan!
Haha, last time I drank with Wen Yuan, I had a great time.
Therefore, he came to find Wen Yuan today to continue drinking!
Ziman, quickly bring me some wine!"
At this moment, after Cao Cao sat down, he picked up a large bowl of tea and gulped it down. Then, he instructed Dian Wei, who was standing at the side.
However, Dian Wei didn't move at all until Xun Zhen signaled him to go down and get the wine. Only then did Dian Wei turn around and leave.
