Xun Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, his face full of suspicion.
But he did not say anything.
Anyway, the truth was right in front of him.
Although the implementation of frugality was still far away.
However, it was indeed because of this matter that most of the talents had come.
"What is the current situation?"
Cao Cao was already overjoyed.
Xun Yu quickly explained,"
"Right now, there are people from all the major provinces and counties who have come to vote.”
"Not only in my eyes, but also in the talents of Qingzhou and even Jingzhou.”
"Now that everyone has heard about Sikong Qiaomiao's recruitment, many people are rushing over!”
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed,"
"Alright, alright!"
At this moment, another voice came from outside the door.
"Father!"
Obviously, it was Cao Ang.
Cao Ang panted heavily as he entered the main hall.
However, he only saw Cao Cao's bright smile.
"Father, this…"
"What's the matter? Speak!"
Cao Cao was in a good mood and waved his hand.
Unexpectedly, his fame had even spread to the Jing state this time!
This was simply great news!
Cao Cao was really thirsty for talents.
It was more important than anything else to have so many talents come to submit!
"This…"
Cao Ang was afraid of ruining Cao Cao's good mood.
After pursing her lips, she said,
"Just now, Mr. Zhao…"
"Go to the place where the results are revealed and say that you give up on the challenge.”
"These few days, he spent all 20 copper coins.”
"There's no way to continue the challenge now.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao was dumbfounded.
He sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at Cao Ang.
She couldn't believe what she heard.
" What did you just say?!"
"Qingfeng has given up on the challenge?”
This news was like a bolt from the blue, directly hitting Cao Cao's head.
Cao Cao still hadn't recovered from his shock.
What did giving up the challenge mean?
It meant that the implementation of frugality had failed!
This meant that it might cause these visiting guests to scatter upon hearing this news!
……
"Why did he suddenly give up the challenge at this time?!”
Cao Cao's heart immediately went numb.
Every time Zhao Yang's brain worked, he was puzzled.
Didn't you say you were here to freeload?
Didn't they already find a way?
Even Guo Jia sent him food.
As long as he was careful, he would be able to get through this month!
If it was just the implementation of frugality.
Cao Cao might not have cared so much.
If it couldn't be completed, then it couldn't be completed.
But now, Zhao Yang suddenly made such a move.
Wouldn't it directly affect the talents who came to join them?!
What would they think when they saw this situation?!
What would those scholars from Qingzhou and Jingzhou think?!
Cao Cao's expression was ugly.
Xun Yu hurriedly said,"
"Sikong, I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple!”
Hearing this, Cao Cao was stunned and looked at Xun Yu."
"What does Wen Ruo mean?"
Xun Yu said indifferently,"
"Sikong, why don't you think about it?”
"Why would he give up halfway?"
"At least from his previous performance, he definitely wasn't like that.”
"Thus, I guess that there must be a deeper meaning behind it.”
Cao Cao rubbed his forehead.
Profound meaning?
What deeper meaning could there be?
The situation was right in front of him, but he chose to give up without any warning.
If this matter were to spread, not to mention the people outside.
How would the people in Xu Du view this matter?!
Moreover, with this, wouldn't the implementation of frugality be over?!
"Alright, Wen Ruo, you can go ahead.”
"Remember, don't miss any talented person!”
Cao Cao waved his hand and warned.
Xun Yu felt that something was wrong.
However, he could not find an explanation.
Thus, he could only nod and leave.
After Xun Yu left, Cao Ang couldn't help but approach him with a solemn expression."
"Father, what is Sir doing?”
"Doing this…there's no benefit at all!”
Cao Cao took a deep breath and waved his hand,
"Go, invite Qingfeng over."
"I have to ask him why he did this!”
Cao Cao was puzzled.
If he didn't understand, he would ask the person directly!
However, before Cao Ang could respond.
A voice came from outside the door,"
"Sikong, don't do this, don't do this!”
Cao Cao could tell just from the voice.
The person who spoke was none other than Guo Jia!
As expected, Guo Jia strode over and said,
"Sikong, you must not summon Mr. Zhao at this time!”
"Otherwise, all his previous efforts will go to waste!”
This time, Cao Cao was confused,"
"Set up? What setup?"
Guo Jia quickly said,
"Last night, when I went to deliver food to Mister.”
"Mister He mentioned Jia Xu and the other aristocrats, and discussed that this matter was related to the recruitment.”
"Who knew that Sir wasn't surprised? Instead, he said that since that's the case, it won't be long before I don't have to send him food!”
"This means that everything is within your expectations!”
Cao Cao was completely stunned.
He had never thought that this would be a coincidence.
So everything was going according to Zhao Yang's plan?!
"But…why did he give up today?”
"Didn't you already find a way?”
Cao Cao asked in confusion.
Guo Jia also nodded and said,
"Last night, I was also thinking about this problem.”
"I only understood it today!”
"There are pros and cons to this matter!"
"First of all, there are drawbacks. Once we do this, the implementation of frugality will definitely not work.”
"And then there's the benefit!"
"It is very likely that Mr. Zhao wants to use this matter to give up the challenge.”
"However, there is no punishment for this challenge!”
"This is to consolidate Sikong's image!”
"It means that you can come and join us. Even if you have no talent, you won't be blamed!”
"This is a reflection!"
Guo Jia understood everything.
He tossed and turned all night, thinking about this question over and over again.
Finally, he got the answer!
This answer was the most convincing and most suitable for Zhao Yang's personality!
"From the looks of it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!”
Guo Jia added.
However, Cao Cao said doubtfully,"
"But, how did he know that by doing so, he would be able to predict that those scholars would think so?”
Guo Jia's face immediately turned solemn as he said in a deep voice,"
"Si Kong, this is the brilliance of Qing Feng!”
"This matter has attracted the attention of the surrounding aristocratic families.”
"Especially the Sima Clan, the Yang Clan, and many other great aristocrats.”
"Their speculations about this matter have spread everywhere.”
"Now that Teacher has left, their previous speculations are even more true.”
"Therefore, this move of yours is…killing with a borrowed knife!”
This time, Cao Cao's eyes lit up!
He understood now!
He understood everything!
If that was the case, then Zhao Yang's withdrawal today was simply the finishing touch!
In this way, he could accomplish this matter no matter what.
