Xun You smiled and said: "The general only leads the way, no matter whether he sees Li Ru or not, Cao Gong will do what the general asks, and he will never regret it." ”

As long as Zhang Xiu agreed, Xun You believed that he would definitely be able to persuade Li Ru, but he couldn't, and he would forcibly bring him back to Xuchang.

Now under Cao Cao's command, there is a lack of great talent, not to mention Li Ru's talent, which has been proven, if it falls into the hands of others, I am afraid that the opponent will be strengthened in vain.

With Zhang Xiu's lead, Xun You came to the small mansion in the east of Wancheng City, looked around, and saw that the surroundings were extremely quiet, Xun You knew that there was no doubt about this.

If this place hadn't been cleaned up by Zhang Xiu, I was afraid that Li Ru's news would have been spread long ago, and it would have been impossible to hide it until now.

In the front yard of the small house, there was no one today, Zhang Xiu seemed to be extremely familiar with Li Ru, I saw him turn around and wave lightly, and walked to a small house.

"Knock knock."

Coming to the door, Zhang Xiu knocked lightly on the door, and then stood respectfully and waited.

After a while, a voice came from inside the room and said, "General Zhang go back first and let Xun You come in." ”

Hearing the voice, Zhang Xiu paused, stayed in place for a moment, and then arched his hand to Xun You and strode away.

When Zhang Xiu walked away, Xun You straightened his clothes, pushed open the door, and saw a familiar person, sitting and waiting for him.

"Xun You has seen Mr., I haven't seen him for many years, is Mr. okay?"

When Dong Zhuo was in power, Xun You also served as an official in the court for a period of time, so the two were also old acquaintances.

Li Ru replied: "If Lord Xun doesn't come, he may have a good life in the next place, but unfortunately he came after all." ”

Xun You didn't care about Li Ru's words, he sat down on the side, and said slowly: "Mr. is talented, why waste time here, although Cao Gong is not talented, he is more than enough than Dong Zhuo." ”

Cao Cao is now said to have reached the point where Dong Zhuo was back then, and if Li Ru is a leader, he will continue to complete the feat of that year.

But he has already failed once, and he doesn't care so much about the pride and ambition of the year.

Li Ru shook his head and said: "Whether it is Prime Minister Cao Cheng or Prime Minister Dong Cheng, Li Ru in the past is dead, but now he is just an ordinary person, I am afraid that he will live up to Lord Xun's good intentions." ”

Xun You smiled and said: "Sir's words are serious, life is in the world, only one or two successes and failures, how can you give up, doesn't Mr. want to return to his own glory?" ”

In the past, the chief strategist under Dong Zhuo's command, the current princes of the world, some of them had served under their own hands, and they said that they didn't miss it, it was fake, otherwise Li Ru would not have seen Xun You.

But Xun Yu's words are not of much use, if Cao Cao comes, Li Ru may still be a little moved.

Li Ru said slowly: "The past is like a passing cloud, just think about it in your dreams, if there are many talents today, I am afraid it will not be of much use in the future." ”

"There is such a talent as Lord Xun under the command of Duke Cao, why should he be entangled in the subordinates, it can be guaranteed that he will never vote for any of the princes."

"Because of these princes from all walks of life, Cao Gong is the biggest and has the strongest potential, and as for the one in the north, I am afraid that he does not have that foot strength below."

This remark made Xun You fall into thought, Li Ru's words are indeed reasonable, if he forces him, I am afraid that even if he gets his people, he will not dare to appoint him with confidence.

can let Li Ru go in the opposition, but he is afraid that someone with a heart will find out, and he will send someone to pick him up, just like Jia Xu, who suddenly appeared in the north.

Jia Xu?

"Hmm." Xun You thought of Jia Xu in his mind, and suddenly had a hint of inspiration, and hurriedly said: "When Mr. was famous all over the world, Jia Xu was still an unknown person, but now that he is famous in the north, doesn't Mr. have any ideas?" ”

Jia Xu is indeed a great talent, Li Ru hid Zhang Xiujun, and he had also heard it, and he still admired him very much in his heart.

If Jia Xu hadn't persuaded the Xiliang Army to unite and fight back, I was afraid that the nearly 100,000 people of the Xiliang Army would have been slaughtered long ago.

However, when I heard that Xun Yu compared himself with Jia Xu, Li Ru was so strong in his heart, and he was still attracted by success.

Li Ru's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he said: "Jia Xu can have this achievement, it all depends on his own talent, what do you think next?" ”

Seeing that Li Ru couldn't move, Xun You's eyebrows furrowed slightly and said: "Since Mr. wants General Zhang to vote for Cao Gong, why don't you find a way out for yourself." ”

Li Ru smiled and said: "Now that I am living a life without fighting, isn't it a way out, let General Zhang vote for Cao Gong in order to repay the grace of saving his life." ”

The oil and salt did not enter, Xun You had a headache, thought for a while, and decided to change the strategy. "In that case, why don't you go to Xuchang to settle down."

"This move can reassure the heart of Cao Gong, and it won't cause too much trouble to Mr., presumably Mr. will agree."

As long as Li Ru is brought back to Xuchang, Xun You believes that after a long time, he will naturally be able to persuade him.

And Li Ru also calculated that Zhang Xiu voted for Cao Cao, and he would definitely confess himself and go to Xuchang, which was also expected.

Li Ru stood up and said, "Then let's go, we should change places in the next place, after a long time, we have to leave." ”

Xun You then stood up and said, "Mr. doesn't clean up, do you want to help us?" ”

Li Ru shook his hand and said, "Don't need Master Xun to drive, you can wait for a while when you prepare for a long time in the morning." ”

After Li Ru finished speaking, he walked out of the house and went to get the salute.

Looking at the back of the departure, Xun You fell into deep thought, whether this Li Ru really didn't want to be a leader, or did he want to wait for the price to sell.

If it is sold at a price, it will be easy to do, and then let the lord go to recruit in person, which has shown its weight and should be able to be won.

But if he doesn't have the heart to become a leader, he is afraid that even if he goes to Xuchang, he will be a useless person.

In Xun You's contemplation, Li Ru, who went to fetch the salute, came back and interrupted his thoughts. "Let's go, Lord Xun."

Looking at Li Ru who didn't care, Xun You was not sure for a while, so he could only lead Li Ru helplessly and go to say goodbye to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu's face became extremely ugly when he saw Li Ru leaving, but Xun You was on the side, so he couldn't come forward to ask.

Seeing Zhang Xiu like this, Li Ru didn't explain, but stood aside calmly, as if he hadn't seen it.

After a brief narrative by Xun You and Zhang Xiu, they led Li Ru out of the city and hurried to join Cao Cao's army.

The two rode their horses and galloped, and after half a day of hurrying, they finally met Cao Cao's army.

Knowing that Xun You was back, Cao Cao also went to greet him in person, and when he saw Li Ru following beside him, his face was full of smiles for a while.

Cao Cao stepped forward to hold Li Ru's hand and said enthusiastically: "Wenyou, you and I said goodbye many years ago, and we were able to meet today, it's really gratifying, fast forward, fast forward." ”

Facing such a polite Cao Cao, Li Ru couldn't help but recall the episode when he and Dong Zhuo met in Xiliang.
