In Puyang City, the soldiers guarding the city saw a group of people coming from afar.
"It's General Zhao Yun and the others!"
"What? The military advisor is back. Hurry up and report to the lord!”
The soldiers on the city wall shouted.
A moment later, Cao Cao and his subordinates arrived on horseback.
From afar, Cao Cao jumped off his horse and shouted,""Advisor Jun, why are you only back now? I missed you so much!”
Xiahou Yu got out of the carriage, stretched his back, and bowed.""Greetings, Lord!"
Cao Cao grabbed Xiahou Yu's arm and said,""Follow me back to the residence quickly. There are many things I don't understand about the military book that Advisor Jun gave me!”
Xiahou Yu smiled slightly." My lord, don't be anxious. We've traveled a long way, and my clothes are not neat. I'd better go back to wash up first."“
Cao Cao knew that Xiahou Yu was a bit of a clean freak, so he didn't mind. He smiled and said,""Alright, Cao Cao will prepare a banquet in the residence and wait for you, Military Advisor!”
Xiahou Yu smiled, turned around, and returned to his residence.
He suddenly thought of something and turned to Cao Cao,""My lord, I've brought back three of the people you want.”
After saying that, he jumped onto the carriage and whipped away without looking back.
Pick up three? Cao Cao looked around in confusion and found three unfamiliar young men riding horses.
He said to the three of them,"Since you've been invited back by the military counselor, follow me back to the residence first. You'll arrange it later!"“
"Yes, I will listen to Lord Cao's arrangements!"
The three young men bowed and said.
Needless to say, the three young men were Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai.
After the competition at Yingchuan Academy, the three of them had long regarded Xiahou Yu as a celestial being and wholeheartedly wanted to learn from him.
Thus, Xiahou Yu easily made his way to East County.
Cao Cao only treated the three of them as ordinary students and did not take them seriously. He casually brought Guo Jia and the other two back to the mansion.
In the hall, the banquet was already prepared. Everyone was waiting for Xiahou Yu.
Cao Cao casually said to the three of them,"Since the military counselor has summoned you, you must do your best and not let him down!"”
Hearing Cao Cao mention Xiahou Yu, Guo Jia and the other two quickly stood up and said,"We are extremely grateful to be able to learn from our teacher. We dare not do things without putting in our heart!”
Seeing that the three of them had a good attitude, Cao Cao nodded and began to chat, saying,
"You guys are still young. How many books have you read? Mencius, have you ever read the Doctrine of the Middle Way?“
It was no wonder that Cao Cao looked down on Guo Jia and the other two. They were simply too young.
Xun Yu was the oldest of the three, only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, while Guo Jia and Xi Zhi had just turned twenty.
Moreover, the three of them had walked for several hundred miles and were already travel-worn. There was no trace of a carefree appearance at all.
"Reporting to Lord Cao, I haven't read many books, but I have studied Mencius and the Doctrine of the Middle Way for many years!" Guo Jia replied.”
Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also nodded and said that they had read it.
Hearing that the three of them had read Mencius and the Doctrine of the Middle Way, Cao Cao was slightly satisfied and had a better impression of the three of them.
"It seems that Advisor Jun has a good eye. I wonder where the three of you are from?”
This time, Xun Yu replied,"Replying to Lord Cao, the three of us are from Yangzhai, Yingchuan."”
Yingchuan Yangzhai?
Hearing these words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up. In this era, Yingchuan Yangdi was a holy land for reading.
"The three of you are actually from Yingchuan. Could it be that you are together?" he asked hurriedly.”
Xi Zhicai answered first,"Let Cao Gong know that the three of us came from the same academy and studied together since we were young!"”
An academy? Could it be…
This time, Cao Cao's breathing was a little heavy.
"May I ask which academy the three of you are studying in? Teacher is that again?"
"We studied in Yingchuan Academy since we were young. We have many teachers. The dean is Mister Shui Jing!" Guo Jia said calmly.”
"What is it? You are students of Yingchuan Academy!"
With a whoosh, Cao Cao stood up.
He had never thought that Xiahou Yu would actually bring back three Yingchuan Academy students.
One had to know that in this era, Yingchuan Academy was synonymous with strategists. How could he not be excited and surprised?
At this moment, the gatekeeper came to report.
"Reporting to my lord, Lord Cheng Yucheng is here!”
Cao Cao remembered that Cheng Yu was also from Yingchuan Academy and shouted,""Please!"
He was eager to find out the background of these three young men from Cheng Yu. He wanted to know if they were geniuses.
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Cheng Yu walked in with a smile and said,"My lord, I heard that you're treating, so I came to ask for a cup of wine!”
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped and pointed at Guo Jia and the other two in surprise."Fengxiao, Zhicai, Wenruo, why are the three of you here?”
Guo Jia and the other two quickly came over and bowed."Senior Zhongde, Guo Jia (Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu) greets you!”
"What is it? You three are Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Xun Yu?”
Cao Cao shouted.
Cheng Yu, who was standing at the side, laughed loudly." My lord, how can this be fake? The three of them are the three heroes of Yingchuan that you have been thinking about day and night. Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and the talented actors!"”
"Haha, that's right. The three people I picked up are Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai!”
As he spoke, Xiahou Yu walked in in a suave manner.
Seeing Xiahou Yu, Cao Cao muttered in his heart,"Can you pick up a few more of such talents?"
