"Cao Mengde will definitely welcome the emperor to move the capital to Xu County.”
"To build a palace, we naturally need a large amount of wood.”
"Do you understand?"
Su Yi sipped his wine and unhurriedly pointed out the reason.
Zhou Tai was enlightened.
Since the Qin Dynasty, Phoebe nanmu was the best wood for building palaces. Huainan was rich in Phoebe nanmu, and the Yingshui waterway could reach Xu County.
No wonder Su Yi wrote a letter asking him to use everything he had to buy golden thread nanmu to come to Xu County.
"I heard that Dong Cheng and Yang Feng are in charge of the Imperial Court. Does that Cao Cao really have the ability to snatch the little Emperor back to Xu County?”
Zhou Tai was skeptical.
Su Yi smiled,"Whether Cao Mengde has the ability or not will be known in less than a month. Don't tell me you don't have the patience."”
"Alright then."
Zhou Tai nodded and sighed." I hope you didn't miscalculate. I rejected Sun Ce's recruitment. If I lose money this time, I'll have to go back and beg Sun Ce to take me to River East."”
"If this deal is profitable, how does Brother Youping plan to repay me?”
Su Yi asked.
" That's obvious," Zhou Tai said straightforwardly." No matter how much we earn, we'll split it fifty-fifty."”
"I don't want a single cent."
Su Yi shook his head and said,"I only want Brother You Ping to stay with your brothers and be my guard for a year."”
"No problem!"
Zhou Tai waved his hand casually." Since you've made such a brilliant plan, I, Zhou Tai, will definitely follow you from now on. I'll be your bodyguard for the rest of my life, let alone a year."”
Su Yi smiled.
Zhou Tai valued justice and martial arts. He also had a group of brothers. In this chaotic world, it was more reassuring to have him as a guard.
"Alright, it's a deal!"
…
Xu County, Prefecture Overseer's Office.
The elites of Cao Camp were all gathered together.
Cao Cao sat on the main seat and looked at Xi Zhicai.
"My Lord, I've already investigated Su Yi's background.”
"This ancestor also had a few prefects, but they were all intermittent. They couldn't be compared to the famous families with two thousand stones. In terms of status, they could only be considered low-grade aristocratic families.”
"The Su family is not prosperous, and his father died young. Su Yi is still a white-haired man. I'm afraid that if this continues, in his generation, he won't even be able to maintain his status as a low-grade aristocratic family and will be reduced to a humble family.”
Xi Zhicai explained Su Yi's background one by one.
"There are many mediocre people in the aristocrats, but there are also many heroes in the Humble Class.”
Cao Cao did not think much of it.
"My lord is right."
Xi Zhicai cupped his hands.
"What I want to know is Su Yi's life.”
Xi Zhicai spread his hands and said helplessly,"It is said that this person has traveled around the world, but he doesn't like to make friends with powerful people. He only likes to live in seclusion in the countryside. Before this, he has lived in seclusion in Xu County for more than a year and has never stepped out of the residence.”
"You haven't stepped out of the house for a year?"
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with curiosity.
There were some aristocratic children who were greedy for power and position, but there were naturally also some who were indifferent. They lived in seclusion in the mountains and did not know about the world.
However, even if he lived in seclusion, he shouldn't have stayed at home for an entire year.
"This Su Yi is really interesting."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and muttered to himself, a meaningful smile on his lips.
"This person is just a nobody. Why is my lord suddenly so interested?”
Xun Yu, who did not know the inside story, asked curiously.
"I was just asking."
Cao Cao said perfunctorily.
For the sake of safety, the fewer people who knew about his secret visit, the better. Even Xun Yu was unwilling to tell them. Naturally, he did not want to mention the matter of meeting Su Yi.
Xun Yu didn't ask further. He cupped his hands and said," My lord is about to enter the capital to meet the Emperor. Before that, we have to discuss a plan to bring the Emperor back to Xu County."”
"Wen Ruo doesn't need to worry, I already have a plan.”
Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled.
Xun Yu's eyes lit up and he cupped his hands.”
"Since the emperor has already left the control of the Xi Liang Army, the alliance between Dong Cheng and Yang Feng will only exist in name.”
"Luoyang is in ruins, and the emperor and officials are short of food.”
"I only need to use the conflict between Chairman Yang and Chairman Yang to ask the emperor to move to Xu County for food as an excuse to bring the emperor back to Xu County!”
Cao Cao told everyone Su Yi's plan from that day.
Xun Yu came to a realization and couldn't help but mock himself,""I didn't expect to use the conflict between Chairman Yang and Chairman Yang. I'm really ashamed.”
Cao Cao coughed a few times, his expression a little awkward. He felt ashamed to accept Xun Yu's praise.
"However, if this plan is to succeed, we still need someone in the court to sow discord between Yang Feng and Dong Cheng."”
Cao Cao frowned.
The group of courtiers in Luoyang were mostly aristocratic scholars and looked down on his background. It was easier said than done to find a courtier who was willing to be his spy and whose words carried weight.
The hall fell silent.
At this moment.
The personal guard entered and handed over a secret letter from a strategist, Mao Jie, from Luoyang.
Half a month ago, Mao Jie had been ordered to Luoyang to inquire about the Imperial Court's situation in the name of paying tribute to the Emperor.
Now that Mao Jie had sent a secret letter, he must have found some useful information.
"There are no outsiders here. Zhicai, read it.”
Cao Cao waved his hand.
Xi Zhicai took the secret letter and read it out in front of everyone.
The letter was indeed filled with information about the imperial court's situation.
"Talisman Commander Dong Zhao admires my lord and is willing to be a spy in the court!”
Xi Zhicai's body trembled when he read this sentence and he looked up at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed as he stared at Xi Zhicai.
"Dong Zhao volunteered to be Cao Gong's spy!"
That day in the Yang residence, Su Yi's words rang in his ears like thunder.
Instantly.
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai felt their scalps go numb.
"Lord, Dong Zhao actually volunteered to be a spy. This is really the heavens helping you!”
Xun Yu said happily.
The hall exploded.
The strategists were all excited by Cao Cao's good luck.
After the meeting ended, the strategists left.
"This Su Yi, how did he deduce that Dong Zhao would secretly join me?”
Cao Cao stared at the secret report and muttered to himself.
Xi Zhicai didn't leave and sighed,""It seems that both my lord and I have underestimated Su Yi. He did not speak carelessly that day. This person is really intelligent.”
Cao Cao nodded his head, deep in thought.
After a long time.
Cao Cao suddenly smiled and asked,"Zhicai, in your opinion, is Su Yi worthy of my Jie 'er?"”
"Could it be that my lord intends to make use of his mistake and intend to recruit Su Yi as his son-in-law?"”
