Zhong Yao, who was guarding Chang 'an, was living a comfortable life.
A few years ago, during the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan once led his subordinates to attack Cao Cao through Hedong and Hanoi.
At that time, it was also thanks to Ma Teng and Han Sui's help that he defeated Gao Gan.
It was also because of this relationship that the two sides had been getting along well over the years.
However, as the north was settled, the plan to unify the world was naturally put on the agenda. Ma Teng and Han Sui could no longer continue to live freely.
Fortunately, after painstaking efforts, he finally received a positive answer from Ma Teng.
"Ma Shoucheng has finally agreed to become an official in Xu City! His son, Ma Chao, was unwilling to go to Xudu, but it was acceptable at this time! With Ma Teng as hostage, in times of crisis, can you still let Ma Chao lead the army and serve me?”
"However, Han Sui is only willing to send his son and son-in-law into Luoyang. He clearly wants to stay in the military and have the intention of splitting up the country! Although it was not a worry for the time being, it was likely that they would send troops to pacify them in the future.”
Zhong Yao pondered for a moment and felt a sense of accomplishment.
With his accumulated prestige and countless persuasions, he didn't even need to send a single soldier to make Ma Teng submit. This was undoubtedly something to be proud of.
"That Guo Yu forced Gongsun Kang to surrender with just a few words. Although I was much slower, I still succeeded! There are many capable people under the prime minister, but there are not many who have my achievements!”
"Wait for me to tell this news to the Prime Minister and give him a small surprise!”
Zhong Yao happily picked up his brush and wrote a memorial to Cao Cao.
However, Cao Cao's letter arrived before he could send the watch out.
"I heard that the Prime Minister has recruited a new military advisor and is preparing to attack Sun Liu in the south. He must be afraid that Han Sui and Ma Teng will not surrender and will hinder him in the rear!”
He pondered as he opened the letter. After reading it a few times, his expression became unnatural.
"The Prime Minister asked me to focus on persuading Ma Teng to surrender. Could it be that the Prime Minister had already predicted the outcome?”
After reading the letter, Zhong Yao felt a little melancholic."So, it was the new military advisor, Chancellor Guo Yu, who said it! He was really as good as the rumors! Han Sui is indeed very shrewd. I only recently figured out this person and knew that it was almost impossible to recruit him! This military counselor was thousands of miles away, but he could see through Han Sui's character. He was truly an immortal!”
Picking up his letter, Zhong Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly."Since the Prime Minister has the help of an expert who knows about Han Sui and Ma Teng, then this memorial is not appropriate. Sending it to Xudu will only make me a laughingstock and make the Prime Minister laugh at me for showing off.”
Soon, Zhong Yao wrote down the situation in Liangzhou. When Ma Teng's family arrived, he sent troops to escort them to Xudu. The situation in the rear was temporarily stabilized.
……
Xudu, Guo Jia's old mansion, had now become Guo Yu's residence.
Although Guo Yu's status in Xu City was now extraordinary, everyone respected him like a god. They only dared to watch from afar and did not dare to visit casually. Therefore, the Guo Manor was quiet.
However, today, a carriage covered in colorful silk stopped at the main entrance. Two servant girls alighted from it.
"Miss, we're here."
The curtain of the carriage window was lifted, revealing Huang Yueying's beautiful face.
Through the window, Huang Yueying saw the words 'Guo Mansion' hanging above the gate of the courtyard and smiled!
"We're finally here! Hurry up and report to me!"
The two maids immediately went over to chat with the guards at the door. One of them quickly went in to report and not long after, he came out with a humble expression."Miss, please use the back door."
Huang Yueying laughed again." I've only met your master a few times. How can I go through the back door?"”
However, even though she said that, Huang Yueying drew down the curtains and ordered someone to drive a carriage into the Guo residence from the back door.
Guo Yu was already dressed and waiting in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. Thinking that his plan had succeeded, he could not help but smile.
After Huang Yueying came in, she sized Guo Yu up from head to toe. There was surprise, admiration, and finally shyness in her eyes.
However, in the end, she revealed some annoyance."No wonder you thought of using the blueprint to trick me into coming here. It turns out that you became an official and your heart has changed!”
Guo Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard that and welcomed her inside.
"Men, prepare some food and wine! If there's nothing important today, don't let anyone in!”
After Guo Yu gave the order, the door of the mansion was closed. It was clear that Guo Yu was not willing to meet outsiders today.
Huang Yueying was a little flustered when she saw him like this.""How can you be like this? You are now the Military Advisor, Chancellor. What urgent matter does Prime Minister Cao have to look for you, but you shut the door on my behalf?”
Guo Yu personally poured her wine and smiled warmly."With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Huang Yueying saw that he treated her differently from before. She could not help but feel her heart beating wildly, and her face turned red.
"You're a guest from afar. Consider this cup of wine as a welcome drink for you.”
Guo Yu finished the cup in one gulp. Huang Yueying covered her face with her sleeves to hide her panic and drank the cup for a long time.
"I say, could it be that this wine cup is filled with Han River water and can't be finished?”Guo Yu saw that she had been covering her face and could not help but tease her.
Huang Yueying was a little anxious after being exposed."None of your business!"
"I don't care, but you're travel-worn. Since you've come to Xu City, are you going to keep covering your face like this and not let me see it?”
"I didn't come here for you to see!”Huang Yueying anxiously rolled down her sleeves to argue, but when she saw Guo Yu's face right in front of her, she covered her face in fear and almost ran away.
"Don't cover it. Look at this.”Guo Yu smiled and took out the drawing of the wooden ox. Huang Yueying looked at it through her fingers and immediately became happy. She didn't care about her shyness and flipped through it.
It was already night time. Guo Yu had left, and only two servant girls shook her awake worriedly.
"Young Lady, if you don't find a place to stay, I'm afraid you'll have to spend the night in Mister's residence! If this matter were to spread, then Miss would probably have to marry him in the future.”
"Bah! Who wants to marry him…But I don't have any relatives in Xu City to rely on. If I stay in an inn, if I meet some bad people, they might capture you two and throw your corpses into the wilderness…"
" Miss, don't, don't say anymore. I'm afraid…"
"Miss, compared to dumping corpses in the wilderness, living here is actually quite good!”
Huang Yuying looked troubled."In that case, I can only stay here for your sake. The two of you go and ask that guy for two rooms. I'll take one, and the two of you will take one.”
At this point, she could not help but reveal a hint of joy on her face."I heard that Xu City is prosperous. I can bring the two of you around the city tomorrow!”
Unexpectedly, Guo Yu's voice immediately sounded from outside,""There's no one living in the backyard, so I've already sent someone to decorate the rooms. If you want to take a look around, I'll personally bring you there tomorrow!”
Huang Yueying felt that her thoughts had been seen through, so she covered her eyes again. The two girls beside her winked and laughed.
