"He's issuing a challenge!"

"I am issuing a challenge to the Yingchuan nobles and you, Second Young Master!"

As soon as Xun Yu said this.

The whole room became quiet in an instant.

Cao Pi looked at Xun Yu in disbelief.

Above that, in the morning, Cao Pi came to Xun Yu and Xun You, uncle and nephew, to seek support.

Xun You agreed immediately.

But Xun Yu said nothing.

At this moment, Xun Yu took the initiative to speak.

Cao Pi was so happy in his heart.

If only I had Xun Yu's support.

The probability of winning the "succession dispute" is at least 80%.

Xun You and Cheng Yu were standing aside.

Hearing Xun Yu speak, he quickly stood up.

……

Feel the hot gazes.

Xun Yu's face showed little change of emotion.

"Since Sikong has spoken and the Fourth Young Master has issued a declaration of war, we cannot just sit there and wait for death!"

"Second Young Master, you must remember what I'm going to say next!"

"The so-called 'succession dispute' is nothing more than a fight for two points: first, gaining the support of the Sikong, and second, gaining the support of more forces!"

"Since Sikong has already stated that he wants you brothers to fight each other, he will not take sides at the moment!"

"So what the Second Young Master wants to fight for is the support of all parties!"

"To gain more support from other forces, Second Young Master must do the following four things:

First, gain the support of the Henan gentry, starting with Yingchuan and spreading outwards, and eventually gaining the support of the entire gentry south of the Yellow River. Gongda and Zhongde can help the Second Prince with this.

Second, we must gain the support of some of the Hebei gentry. Given the close relationship between the Second Young Master and us, if the Fourth Young Master wants to fight for the throne, he will inevitably lean towards the Hebei gentry. Judging from what the Minister of State said last night, he will support the Hebei gentry to weaken the influence of our Yingchuan gentry. However, conversely, we can also win over some of the Hebei gentry while maintaining Henan. They will divide our interests, and we can divide them internally.

Third, the Second Young Master must secure the post of host of the Yueyuedanping (Monthly Review) in the shortest possible time. With this position, those officials who enter the officialdom through the Yuedanping (Monthly Review) will be his future assistants.

Fourth, the Second Young Master must quickly become famous among the scholars and make friends with famous scholars. With fame, there will naturally be a steady stream of scholars coming to join the Second Young Master!"

Xun You gave Cao Pi four suggestions in one breath.

Every suggestion is valuable advice.

After hearing such precise advice from Xun Yu.

Cao Pi's originally aggrieved face was now filled with excitement.

"Xun Lingjun's words are worth a thousand gold. Pi Ming is deeply moved!"

As he spoke, Cao Pi performed the etiquette of a nephew and bowed deeply to Xun Yu.

But what Cao Pi didn't expect was.

Xun Yu dodged it.

“???” Cao Pi.

Seeing Cao Pi's puzzled expression, Xun Yu said:

"Second Young Master, the reason I spoke up today is because the Fourth Young Master is being too bullying, and Second Young Master is on good terms with the Yingchuan nobles. That's why I spoke up to warn him, but that doesn't mean I will step down to help Second Young Master!"

Having said this, Xun Yu turned his gaze to Xun You and Cheng Yu standing beside him and continued:

"I am the current Shangshu Ling, second only to the Sikong in the current court. The Shangshu Tai has too much power. If I help you with all my strength, unless the Sikong leaves, the Fourth Young Master will have no chance of winning. Therefore, I cannot leave!"

"This is also the tacit understanding between Sikong and me. Sikong knows that I will not end up like this!"

"Of course, there's another reason why I won't leave. That's because if one day, Second Young Master, Gongda, Zhongde, and the rest of you are at your wit's end, I can still help you..."

pity! !

After Xun Yu's explanation, Cao Pi finally understood why Xun Yu did not leave.

Although he understood it in his heart, Cao Pi couldn't help but sigh.

After all, if Xun Yu really helps himself.

Then it would be easy for him to become the heir.

but--

Although Xun Yu cannot take the initiative to help himself.

But as long as Xun Yu is inclined towards himself.

Then my chances of winning are still greater than Zijian's.

"Zijian, I'll let you know the consequences of stealing my things!"

Cao Pi gritted his teeth.

……

the other side.

The backyard of Sikong Mansion.

At this moment, Cao Cao was sitting side by side with Guo Jia by the pond.

Two fishing rods were placed in front of the two of them.

Just then, Xu Chu hurried over.

Tell the two of them the news outside.

"Fengxiao, don't you think Zijian is being too much of a fool this time? He's Xun Yu's son-in-law!"

Cao Cao frowned.

"If we don't make such a fuss, how can the Yingchuan nobles be willing to give up? If they don't give up, won't your plan fail?"

Guo Jia asked back with a smile.

"If you ask me, the Fourth Young Master is not only innocent, but actually meritorious!"

"Humph! I know you took advantage of Zijian, but don't be so obvious. I'm still here!"

Cao Cao said dissatisfiedly.

Having said this, Cao Cao paused and continued:

"Have you really not found out anything about Zijian?"

"Really not!"

Guo Jia spread his hands and said helplessly:

"I've told you everything that happened. I lost drinking, I lost chess, and finally, the Fourth Young Master asked me to quit drinking, sex, and the Five Stone Powder. Sikong, I still feel like I've lost a lot!"

"Zijian is right about this. Others may not know about your body, but you yourself don't know it?

But, is Zijian's medicine really effective? Why don't you give it to me and I'll try it for you?

Cao Cao asked curiously.

We are all men.

Regarding kidney nourishment.

Even Cao Cao is not immune to this!

"If you want it, go find the Second Young Master yourself!"

Guo Jia rolled his eyes at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was immediately embarrassed.

Because no man is willing to admit that he is not capable in front of an outsider, especially when that outsider is his own son!

"Haha... I was just kidding. I'll take this medicine first. After a month, if it works, I'll go ask the Fourth Young Master for it. Of course, it'll be in my name!"

Seeing Cao Cao's rare embarrassed look, Guo Jia smiled happily.

"Sikong, the Second Young Master has already gone to Xun Yu's residence. Do you think Xun Lingjun will take action this time?"

Guo Jia suddenly said.

"I know Wen Ruo. He might offer some advice, but he won't personally take action!"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice:

"However, since Zihuan is already sharpening his sword, Zijian cannot fall behind!"

"How about this, tomorrow, let Chen Lin go to Zijian's house to get acquainted with him. The day after tomorrow, let Chen Lin bring Zijian to visit Cui Yan's house!"

"Let the Fourth Young Master marry the daughter of the Cui family?"

"Indeed, only the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe is worthy of my legitimate son, Cao Cao!"

Cao Cao laughed.

That was the next moment after Cao Cao said this.

The fishing rod in front of Cao Cao.

Suddenly it shook violently.

"The fish is hooked!"

Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other.

Then loud laughter was heard from the edge of the pond.
