Three Kingdoms: Fusion of Entries, Change of Destiny

Chapter 10 My Zifang

Cao Yan and Xun Yu,
On people's livelihood and politics,
Even the difficulties Cao Cao was currently facing were discussed in depth and detail.

But Xun Yu still refused to reveal his identity.

Time passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, an hour and a half had passed.

Cao Ang, who was sitting nearby and serving tea and water, was already drowsy.

Cao Yan finally couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to reveal Xun Yu's identity.

"I said Mr. Wen Ruo,
If you want to know more secrets of our army, why don't you come and serve under my command?

I guarantee he'll sleep with you and talk about it for three days and three nights!"

Xun Yu was stunned when he heard this, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He asked, "How do you know my true identity?"

"Guess."

"Guess?"

"I heard earlier that Xun Wenruo and his entire family moved north to Jizhou to avoid disaster.

Later, Yuan Shao seized Jizhou from Han Fu, and Mr. Wen Ruo suddenly disappeared.

I guessed,

You must have seen Yuan Shao's fatal flaw of being able to gather people but not use them, and are unwilling to assist him."

Cao Yan couldn't help laughing when he said this: "Now it seems that my guess was right."

Xun Yu was startled, then stood up and bowed, saying, "I consider myself to be superior to others in terms of talent and vision. Now that I have met you, sir, I know that there are always people who are better than you, and there are always things better than you!"

In fact, it was very simple for Cao Yan to know Xun Yu's identity.

Throw an [Insight] at you, and no matter who you are, you will have to show your true colors!

As for that statement, it was naturally made by Cao Yan to deceive Xun Yu.

Just now when Xun Yu and Cao Ang came in together,
Cao Yan used his insight on him.

And saw his entry,
Name: Xun Yu (Zi Wenruo)
Sex: Male
Hobbies: Reading, discussing politics, and burning incense

Favorability: 2%
Entries: Talented as a King's Assistant (Gold), Fragrance-Remaining Xun Ling (Gold), Insight into Opportunities (Purple), Recommending Talents (Purple), Loyalty to the Han (Gray)]

This is Xun Yu, with two gold and two purple attributes, he is not inferior to Cao Cao at all!

Cao Yan did not lose himself because of Cao Ang's boasting.
He knows how much he weighs.

Compared with Xun Yu, a talented person who can assist the king,

He just took advantage of being a time traveler.

"Mr. Wenruo, why don't you come with me to meet my elder brother? If he knew you were coming, he would be ecstatic." Cao Yan made a sincere invitation.

After the previous discussion, Xun Yu already had a general understanding of Cao Cao's strategic direction.

However, some details are still unclear and the implementation is not in place, which may be due to the lack of political talent.

From the current perspective, although Cao Cao is not very prominent now, he has great potential in all aspects.

After seeing the invitation sent by Cao Yan,

Xun Yu thought for a moment and then agreed:
"It's time to meet Cao Mengde, the lone assassin of Dong."

[Xun Yu's favorability towards you has changed. Current favorability: 15%]

Cao Yan felt very relieved.

He immediately arrested Cao Ang and asked him to take over his statistical work.

He took Xun Yu to the county magistrate's mansion to meet Cao Cao.

at this time,

Cao Cao was leaning over his desk.
Carefully reviewing documents from various places,
His brows were furrowed, and he was obviously troubled by trivial matters.

"Brother, look who I brought with me?" Cao Yan shouted loudly before he even entered the door.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao looked up.

When his eyes fell on Xun Yu, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
He immediately stood up and strode forward. "You are... Mr. Wen Ruo?!" Cao Cao's voice was filled with a hint of uncertainty, but more of it was surprise.

When Cao Cao was an official in Luoyang, he had the honor of witnessing Xun Yu's elegance from a distance.

At that time, Xun Yu's elegant temperament and stunning appearance made Cao Cao fascinated.

And now,
The strange man who had been haunting his dreams was actually standing right in front of him.

How could this not make Lao Cao extremely excited?
He even forgot to wear shoes.
He ran over barefoot and grabbed Xun Yu's arms tightly.

"Xun Yu, Mr. Xun Wenruo! It really is you!!!"

Lao Cao's beard was almost standing up with excitement.

"I have admired your elegance and reputation since I was in Luoyang, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet you. It is truly a great honor to meet you today!"

Cao Cao spoke the truth from the bottom of his heart.

He probably never dreamed of it.
The first scholar who took the initiative to serve him,
It turned out to be Xun Yu, who was known as the "talented one who can assist the king"!
Xun Yu broke free from Lao Cao's dirty hands without leaving any trace.

He bowed his hands, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "Mr. Cao, you are too kind. I don't have any reputation for being virtuous. I do have a bit of a bad reputation."

Xun Yu was not being too modest, as he did have some stains on himself.

When Xun Yu was in Luoyang, his father Xun Gun was afraid of the power of the eunuchs, so he made him marry the daughter of the eunuch Tang Heng.

Therefore, he does have a stain on his body that is difficult to erase.

This is a feeling that he shares with Cao Cao, who was the descendant of a eunuch.

However, thanks to the support of the famous scholar He Yong, Xun Yu's talent and reputation eventually overshadowed his stain.

Of course, Cao Cao was also appreciated by He Yong.
It also received the double blessing of Liang Guoqiao Xuan and Nanyang Xu Shao,

So he was doing very well in Luoyang.

In terms of promotion speed alone, it is even much faster than Xun Yu.

"How could that be true? In my eyes, Cao Mengde, you are the most perfect person in the world!" Cao Cao praised without hesitation.

"I dare not, I dare not..." Xun Yu responded humbly.

Cao Yan watched the two of them being so affectionate and couldn't help but remind them, "It's windy outside, why don't we go inside and talk?"

"Ah! Yes, yes! Please come in, sir!"

Cao Cao came to his senses, hurriedly invited Xun Yu to take a seat, and ordered someone to serve tea.

After Xun Yu and Cao Yan were seated, Cao Cao finally asked, "Zi'an, how did you meet Mr. Wen Ruo?"

Cao Yan glanced at Xun Yu, and then told him everything about how Cao Ang brought Xun Yu to see him.

"It turns out to be Ang'er! That silly boy is really lucky!" Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, his eyes full of relief.

Xun Yu also laughed and said, "Young Master, despite his young age, is calm and composed, and treats people with kindness. This is a testament to Lord Cao's good upbringing!"

"Sir, you are too kind!" Although Cao Cao was modest, the uncontrollable smile on his face betrayed his inner pride.

At this time, Cao Yan said to Cao Cao, "Brother, Mr. Wen Ruo and I have discussed this for a long time. He quite agrees with our strategic direction, but there are still many details he would like to discuss with you."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was even more delighted.

Since Xun Yu is willing to understand their strategic direction in depth, it means that there is a high possibility that he will join their camp.

You should know that the Xun family of Yingchuan was founded on Confucianism and is a top-notch and prestigious family.

When Xun Yu was young, he was famous throughout the world for his talent as a "king's assistant".
If I could gain Xun Yu's loyalty,
That would be a huge boost to Cao Cao's reputation among the aristocratic families and scholars!

Suppressing his excitement, Cao Cao said solemnly, "Sir, if you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know!"

Cao Yan knew that the two of them hit it off right away and must have a lot to talk about, so he decided not to be a second wheel and said goodbye and left.

In the following days,
Cao Cao and Xun Yu were inseparable.
When going out, we ride in the same carriage; when coming in, we sit at the same table.
They are even more affectionate than a newlywed couple who have been separated for a long time.

Cao Cao also made the famous sigh,
"Wen Ruozhen is my Zifang!"
