Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 58
Xi Zhicai simply washed and wiped, then put on a thick robe and went directly to the government office.

Not long after, I met Xu Zhen outside the door. It was so early and near the end of the year, Xu Zhen should be sending Chen Liu to report the situation.

He handles official business in Juancheng, which is actually close to the water. The political achievements of Chenliu's various places can be ordered to be collected by officials and sent away.

"Brother Zhicai," Xu Zhen bowed and saluted, with a smile on his face, and asked with concern: "Is it completely healed?"

"I just recovered from a serious illness, thank you Bowen," Xi Zhicai said concisely. When returning the gift, he stared at Xu Zhen for a long time, and some words were hard to say.

"Hey Bowen, in a few days, you may be asked to have dinner and drink, and friends will visit, remember to leave time."

Xu Zhen frowned suddenly.

Staring at Xi Zhicai in disbelief.

"Guo Fengxiao?"

Xu Zhen asked subconsciously.

Xi Zhicai was not surprised at all, after all, Xu Zhen and Xun Yu had a pretty good relationship, so it was not surprising to know Guo Jia's existence.

"Yes, he is my old friend. You may not believe it, but you two have some similarities in certain temperaments, such as your judgment on a certain general trend."

Speaking of this, Xi Zhi smiled, "They all like to make judgments directly on things without any basis, and often once they are right, they will steal the limelight."

Xu Zhen raised his hand, feeling a trace of urgency in his heart, he can immediately sort out his thoughts without thinking too much, Guo Fengxiaofu is at home, and has been secretly making friends with people with lofty ideals.

To know whether the general trend of the world will change.

If it follows the original path, or now that Xi Zhicai is ill and is about to entrust his last wish to a friend, ask him to come out of the mountain.

And Guo Jia also moved at the right time.

These two Yingchuan friends have similar temperaments and similar hobbies, but there are still differences in talents and abilities.

Guo Fengxiao must have some kind of strategy, or he sensed some kind of timing, so he came here.

In this way, Xu Zhen was willing to spare time to ask questions and see what kind of abilities this conspiratorial genius had.

Therefore, he generously cupped his hands and said: "Brother, let me know in advance the date of the appointment, and I will spare time to meet this Guo Fengxiao."

Xi Zhicai was immediately stunned.

what? !

Are you really willing to come? !
"No...why are you willing to come?"

His expression was very strange, and those who didn't know it thought it was as if Xu Zhen had stabbed him from the vest, his face was full of shock and disbelief.

Even some blame.

Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment, "Uh, brother, please, I dare not refuse."

"When Guo Fengxiao came, you were willing to go, but I asked you alone but flatly refused, what's the reason for that!"

Obviously I came first!
You were recommended by me, I met you first!
Xi Zhicai roared slightly in his heart.

"That's not it," Xu Zhen calmly leaned back, and quickly said: "Two people invite together, it saves time, and when you can save time, come one by one, wasting time."

"We drank together, which is equivalent to living another night longer."

"It also makes sense," Xi Zhicai nodded inexplicably.

Watching Xu Zhen turn and leave.

After he walked far away, he turned around and entered the lobby. Cao Cao was currently looking up the political achievements of various places compiled at the end of the year, and he was very busy.

So he didn't have time to raise his head and greet Xi Zhicai.

"My lord," Xi Zhicai stepped forward, stepping slowly and hurriedly, bowing his hands in front of Cao Cao, and said, "I have someone to recommend."

"Oh?"

Cao Cao raised his head with a smile on his face.

"who?"

Xi Zhicai's last recommendation was Xu Zhen.

Now that he has made a lot of achievements, he has an outstanding reputation, is diligent in government and loves the people, and will be a pillar in the future, and he will not lead soldiers to respect himself, which is extremely reassuring.

"Yingchuan Guo Jia, styled Fengxiao, is my good friend."

Xi Zhicai's tone was extremely confident. Compared to Xu Zhen, he certainly knew his friend better, "This talent is far superior to me in learning."

"If the lord can receive him, let him assist you, and I will voluntarily give up the seat of sacrificial wine." Xi Zhicai folded his hands and bowed deeply.

This is not a joke, the two have known each other for many years, not to mention the relationship here, in terms of talent and resourcefulness, this sacrificial wine seat is the best for him!
And I can retreat behind the scenes, in charge of spying in order to gain access to information, sort out the information, and then summarize it for discussion. So many things can be negotiated and come to a result.

Will be able to get twice the result with half the effort, frequent tricks.

"Hehehe," Cao Cao laughed directly, and said, "Why did Zhicai say that? If he has talent, he will have his place."

"If it's not the case, it's a good idea to have a double sacrificial wine."

"Why do you need to be so humble?"

Cao Cao shook his head with a wry smile, glanced at the letter in his hand, knowing that he might not be able to read it any longer, so he immediately put it away, then got up and walked down to Xi Zhicai's side.

He took his hand, patted the back of his hand and said softly, "It's a blessing that you recovered from a serious illness."

"I feel very at ease. Now that there are talented people recommending you, I should share the responsibilities for you. Don't work as hard as before. You are not like Bo Wen, or it is difficult to work day and night."

"Bowen was born in the army, and he is not comparable to ordinary Confucian scholars. He was killed on the battlefield, so he is already strong."

"Since Guo Fengxiao is recommended by you, I will welcome him backwards, and I will never neglect him."

Xi Zhicai's eyes were suddenly touched, he was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "There is one more thing."

"You said."

Cao Cao paused and replied solemnly.

Seeing that Zhicai is like this, he already has some feelings in his heart. I am afraid that he really has some strategy to offer, so he made such a gradual proposal.

"I know him well. A few years ago, Feng Xiao was under Yuan Shao's command."

"Oh?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he became interested. Has this friend of his been to Yuan Shao's place?

"how?"

he leaned closer and asked.

Xi Zhicai smiled wryly: "I was appointed as a literary critic, and then, in a fit of filial piety, he ridiculed Guo Tu, Xu You and even Qinghe Jujun and others, and returned home in anger."

It is really embarrassing to say this, because in the eyes of many gentry, it was nothing more than Guo Fengxiao's incompetence back then, and he became furious after he was not treated well.

But when Cao Cao heard the story, his anticipation grew.

In his opinion, if the person Yuan Shao can't tolerate, if he can make some achievements in the Cao family in the future, it will make the two of them rebel, it would be a wonderful thing.

Xi Zhicai went on to say, "It's also called a madman, so the gentry don't associate with it."

"Most of the people he made friends with secretly were from poor families and white bodies, or those who wandered with swords, but even so, he has been waiting for the right time."

"If my expectations are correct, the time he is waiting for may be consistent with the strategy below."

"It is also consistent with Bowen's policy theory."

"It's even what Wen Ruo always wanted!"

Cao Cao's eyes froze suddenly after hearing this, and a sense of vigor came out suddenly, and he said almost subconsciously: "Son of Heaven."

"Not bad!"

Xi Zhicai's smile gradually turned into ecstasy, and he went to Cao Cao and stared into his eyes, eagerly said: "Bo Wen once said that the emperor is getting older, if there is any movement, we should make it happen."

"Guo Fengxiao's coming here may be related to this. My lord must have a long talk with him as a national scholar."

Cao Cao's eyes were slightly empty, and he nodded in agreement.

"Your lord, please prepare good wine from the country of Qiao. Guo Fengxiao loves fine wine the most. He will definitely go to the appointment with pleasure and express his heart to the lord!"

Cao Cao: "..."

After talking for a long time, you are not waiting for this, are you?

……

In Juancheng, Xu Zhen returned to his government office.

Before entering, Su Wei clasped his fists in front of him and said, "The prefect, there is a young man who said he came here because of his fame, so he must see you."

"Young man?" Xu Zhen frowned.

"Where did you say it came from?"

"Well...he said it was Xuzhou Langya."

"Ok?"

　It's updated, ask for a ticket
