At this time, Cao Cao was still struggling in Yanzhou, but his hard days finally came to an end.

Cao Cao met the biggest nobleman and subordinate in his life, this person is Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, who is known as "Wang Zuozhicai".

Because of the war, Xun Yu's family fled to the north and took refuge under Yuan Shao, the head of the family. However, Xun Yu found that Yuan Shao was not a master, and at the suggestion of a friend, he took refuge in Cao Cao, who was still struggling in Yanzhou.

Xun Yu left Yuan Shao and joined Cao Cao. Cao Cao saw Xun Yu coming to vote, Dayue, and said, "This is my ovary!" So Xun Yu was appointed as the Sima of the other department, Xun Yu was twenty-nine years old at the time, which can be described as a young and promising.

After Xun Yu joined Cao Cao, he recommended Xi Zhong Xi Zhicai to Cao Cao as Cao Cao's military advisor.

Xizhong Xi Zhicai, a native of Yingchuan, was recommended by Xun Yu to become Cao Cao's strategist. Cao Cao is sure of Xun Yu's ability, so he attaches great importance to Xi Zhong.

Xi Zhong planned the path of Cao Cao's rise, and analyzed the problems that Cao Cao encountered or will encounter. Under the guidance of Xi Zhong, Cao Cao seemed to see a broad road.

At this time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban began to invade Yanzhou continuously, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, sent troops to attack the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, due to the balance of the local family's forces, which led to a decline in strength, and Liu Dai was killed by the Yellow Turban.

The morale of the Yellow Turbans was high and they ransacked many cities in Yanzhou.

The clans of Yanzhou finally realized what a stupid thing they had done, and they were powerless to deal with the Yellow Turban rebellion.

Under the leadership of Bao Xin, the minister of Jibei, the panicked family, and others welcomed Cao Cao, the general of the expedition to the west in Yanzhou, as the pastor of Yanzhou.

Although the family wanted to find someone to shelter them from the wind and rain, Cao Cao knew this very well and was a little reluctant, but Xi Zhong and Xun Yu strongly expressed the hope that Cao Cao would seize the opportunity and take Yanzhou in one fell swoop. Of course, Cao Cao would not oppose the advice of the two strategists, and in the end, Cao Cao became the pastor of Yanzhou with the support of the Yanzhou family.

After becoming the pastor of Shangzhou, Cao Cao began to prepare for the crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. may have caused the situation to be eroded due to the previous checks and balances on Liu Dai, but this time the family in Yanzhou did not have any restraint on Cao Cao, asking for money for money, asking for grain for food, and almost sparing no effort to support. There is no way, if Cao Cao is defeated again, there will be no one to stop the Yellow Turban for them.

After that, Cao Cao and Bao Xin joined forces to attack the Yellow Turbans. It's a pity that Bao Xin also died on the battlefield. With the help of Xi Zhong, Cao Cao set up an ambush and finally defeated the main force of the Yellow Turbans. After the victory, Cao Cao stabilized his position in Yanzhou, and the family was also shocked by Cao Cao's strength and recognized his status as Yanzhou pastor. But just when Cao Cao was in high spirits, Xi Zhong fell ill.

Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhong lying on the bed, and his heart was full of grief.

Xi Zhong also opened his eyes and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, Zhong can no longer give advice to the lord. ”

Cao Cao was very sad, Xi Zhong had a huge effect on him, and now that he was going to die, Cao Cao didn't know where to find a strategist like Xi Zhong. Cao Cao said softly: "Zhicai, don't worry, you will be fine." ”

Xi Zhong shook his hand and said, "The lord doesn't have to hide it from me, I know that my body has run out of oil." Zhong's great luck in this life is to meet the lord, but unfortunately his loyalty is weak, and he can no longer continue to follow the lord to dominate the world. Ahem. ”

Xi Zhong coughed constantly, and Cao Cao didn't dare to disturb his rest anymore, and after settling down, Cao Cao returned to his residence. Cao Cao is very worried about Xi Zhong's body, since he has Xi Zhong, Cao Cao's road has become very smooth, and now Xi Zhong is dying, Cao Cao is also a little reluctant.

Within a few days, Xi Zhong was lying in bed and died. Cao Cao was so grief-stricken that he held a huge funeral for him.

After Xi Zhong's death, Cao Cao said to Xun Yu sadly: "Wen Ruo, Zhicai has gone. Our army is just improving, and the lack of a division is a very serious problem. I can't find a military advisor like Zhicai anymore. ”

Xun Yu said: "Although Zhicai is gone, the lord must not be decadent because of this. I have a good friend who has the talent of Lu Wang, who can be the military advisor of the lord. ”

"How can you tell me today?" Cao Cao was excited, and Xun Yu's eyes were vicious, which could be seen from his recommendation of Xi Zhong.

"But this person has a strange personality, it's not something that ordinary people can surrender, whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the lord." Xun Yu thought of his unruly friend, and he was also helpless.

Cao Cao clapped his hands and said: "Since he is a talent, he must be arrogant and arrogant, and it is normal to have a character, please ask Wen Ruo to invite him." ”

Xun Yu also understood Cao Cao's thirst for talent, so he personally brought this to Cao Cao, and his other is Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, a prodigal son with a dissolute personality.

Guo Jia went to seek refuge with Yuan Shao a few years ago, and also found that Yuan Shao was not a master, so he went back to his hometown to live in seclusion.

Guo Jia smiled at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, this Cao Cao won't be the same as Yuan Shao." I have suffered a lot of losses on Yuan Shao's side, Wen Ruo, don't cheat me. ”

Xun Yu was full of black lines, and along the way, Guo Jia kept sarcastically mocking himself and embarrassing himself, Xun Yu said: "My lord is different from Yuan Benchu, Feng Xiao will know it after seeing it." ”

"Actually, I'm still very optimistic about Zhao Wang and Liu Yu, but it's a pity that I haven't had a chance. If you are careless in making friends, you don't know if you are sold. Guo Jia said indignantly.

"Bonghyo, you're enough." No matter how good Xun Yu's temper is, he was also made angry by Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was even more smiling when he saw his friend angry. The two went all the way like this, and Xun Yu was constantly ridiculed by Guo Jia. Xun Yu has endured it, he is worried that if he gets angry, then Guo Jia, who has a strange personality, may really run away.

They finally arrived at Cao Cao's mansion, and Xun Yu introduced Guo Jia to Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao saw Guo Jia, he was impatient like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman, took Guo Jia's hand, and entered the secret room together to discuss the world's major affairs. Guo Jia was shocked, could it be that this Cao Cao has that hobby. Cao Cao also found out that his behavior just now was a bit Meng Lang, and apologized to Guo Jia. Guo Jia also thinks that this kind of Cao Cao may be more real, unlike Yuan Shao's hypocrisy.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Cao Cao and Guo Jia began to talk, Guo Jia showed Cao Cao his vision and talent, making Cao Cao instantly feel his inadequacy.

The two talked in the secret room for a whole day. In the end, Cao Cao said: "There is no one who can replace Fengxiao, he is the one I need the most!" ”

After Guo Jia left Cao Cao's mansion, he was also overjoyed and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, you really didn't cheat me this time, Cao Cao is really very suitable for me." ”

Xun Yu was also very happy, and invited Guo Jia to talk at home, and Guo Jia was also happy to go.

From then on, Guo Jia became Cao Cao's staff and military officer-the military advisor sacrificial wine, giving advice and serving Cao Cao's Quartet campaign loyally.

After Cao Cao got the military advisor Guo Jia, he was like a tiger with wings. The more he fought, the more courageous he became, and the goddess of luck seemed to favor Cao Cao again.

Cao Cao finally defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and was surrendered to more than 300,000 people, with a population of more than 1 million. Cao Cao collected his elite and formed an army, called the Qingzhou soldiers. So far, Cao Cao has become the most famous prince in the world.

Cao Cao's rise caused many people to be uneasy, and neither Yuan Shu nor Yuan Shao wanted to see Cao Cao's strength displayed, and secretly provoked various princes to attack him. Yuan Shao infiltrated Yanzhou. Yuan Shu instigated Tao Qian to attack Cao Cao's eastern part. Cao Cao was still very tenacious in the face of such a predicament, and with the help of Guo Jia and Xun Yu, he blocked their attacks and gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou, the land of four battles.

Cao Cao began to recruit talents, recruited Cheng Yu, Xun You and other strategists, and the generals even found Xu Zhu and Xu Huang.

Xu Huang was originally Yang Feng's subordinate, and after Liu Yu occupied Guanzhong, Xu Huang fled with Yang Feng. Yang Feng did all kinds of evil, and was in the company of thieves, Xu Huang was disappointed, left Yang Feng, and finally joined Cao Cao by coincidence. Yang Feng later also took a fancy to Yuan Shu and became a general in Yuan Shu's army.

As for Xu Zhu, it was even more bloody, he met Cao Cao when he was idle and went out hunting.
