Chapter 105
Cao Cao thought for a while when he heard Xun Yu say this, and said, "Is it possible?"

"Don't worry, my lord. Cheng Yu is brave and resourceful, and he came from a family. It would be best for him to lobby the Yuzhou family."

Cao Cao pondered for a while when he heard what Xun Yu said, and then said to his attendants.

"Go and call Cheng Yu."

After hearing the order, the guard trotted out of the camp.

About the time of a cup of tea, one has a long beard.

A Confucian scholar in a white gown came in, and when he saw Cao Cao, he stepped forward and saluted.

"My lord, why did you call me here?"

"Let Xun Yu tell you."

After hearing Cao Cao's order, Xun Yu walked up to Cheng Yu and told Cheng Yu what he had discussed with Cao Cao.

"My lord, I am willing to go to this matter, but I have one condition."

"Oh? Under what conditions?"

"I need my lord to provide me with 30 yuan."

Although Cao Cao thought that Cheng Yuyou said that the family would ask for money, he did not expect that Cheng Yu would ask for so much money. Although Cao Cao was a Yanzhou family, he raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo and won a lot of money, but most of the money was exchanged by Cao Cao for military rations.

Cao Cao couldn't get 30 big money at this time.

"What do you want so much money for?"

Facing Cao Cao's questioning, Cheng Yu said: "My lord, you and I both came from aristocratic families, and you also know that aristocratic families are masters who don't see rabbits or scatter eagles. If I leave empty-handed, there are few aristocratic families who can lobby. And less."

Cao Cao, who came out of the aristocratic family, naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with this sentence.

"Zhongde, you also know that I have sold my family wealth for food and salary since I started the army. Before the war against Dong Zhuo, I lost a lot of food and salary. This time you want me to give out so much, I'm afraid."

Looking at Cao Cao who hesitated to speak, Cheng Yu lowered his head and pondered for a while.

"May I ask how much money the lord can give now?"

"fifty thousand!"

Cao Cao didn't evade Cheng Yu's question.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is not enough."

Naturally, Cao Cao knew that it was not enough, and immediately said: "As long as we can successfully enter Yanzhou and serve as the prefect of Yanzhou, then let alone 30, I can afford 60."

After Xun Yu heard this, Xun Yu's eyes lit up and he stepped forward and said.

"In this case, my lord can take out the [-] yuan first, and then write a few letters with my own handwriting, promising to the Yuzhou family that as long as they can help us, Yuzhou will let these aristocratic families govern themselves after the matter is completed!"

"Is it okay to let Yuzhou be autonomous?"

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao frowned. You must know that Cao Cao's plan is to enter Yanzhou, and then join hands with his little friend Yuan Shao, and the two of them will map the world together.

Yuzhou is naturally regarded by Cao Cao as an important state and county for him to go south. At this time, promising these people to let them govern themselves is tantamount to blocking their own development path.

Seeing Cao Cao shaking his head, Xun Yu stepped forward, looked at Cao Cao with a smile and said.

"My lord, are you worried that Yuzhou's self-government will block our development direction?"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and Xun Yu said with a smile when he saw Cao Cao nodded.

"It seems that my lord has been too busy these days."

Hearing this, Cao Cao asked in bewilderment, "How do you say that?"

"My lord, do you think those aristocratic families can beat Ye Xiao? And this time we can't just win over the aristocratic families, but also send someone to ask Yuan Shao for help. I believe that Yuan Shao will definitely help out with the friendship between Yuan Shao and the lord."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, he clapped his hands suddenly and said excitedly.

"That's right, if those aristocratic families were really able to fight Ye Xiao, they would have killed Ye Xiao long ago, and they wouldn't let him become the prefect of Yuzhou in peace, as long as they fight, and then I will unite with Yuan Shao, when the time comes Isn’t Yuzhou right in my pocket! As expected of you, Xun Yu, you really see clearly!”

Seeing Cao Cao's eyes full of praise and admiration, Xun Yu naturally knew the truth that a minister should not be arrogant, so he stepped forward and bowed to Cao Cao.

"My lord, it's just that I'm too tired, and with the new defeat of General Xiahou, I'm a little anxious. I believe that even if I don't tell you, the lord can figure it out by himself."

Cao Cao looked at the counselor in front of him, and the love in his eyes was even greater.

Nowadays, in troubled times, it is rare to see such smart subordinates who know how to take care of Shangguan's feelings.

Cheng Yu heard Cao Cao and Xun Yu singing in unison, and also stepped forward and said.

"My lord, what Xun Yu said makes sense. In this way, we only need to win over a few big families."

"That's true, Cheng Yu, go to the army to order [-] grain and grass, and I will write a few letters with my own hand, and you can take them with you."

After Cheng Yu accepted Cao Cao's arrangement, he turned and left.

.......
In autumn, the weather in the north becomes colder.

A man by the river stood there, breathing into the palm of his hand from time to time, and then rubbing it constantly.

After an unknown amount of time, a cargo ship slowly passed over the distant river.

The cargo ship stopped at the man's position.

A white-haired old man in a coir raincoat came out of the cabin.

"The guest officer is Mr. Cheng Yucheng who booked the boat the day before yesterday?"

Hearing the old man calling his name, Cheng Yu stopped what he was doing and hurried forward.

"It's down."

After looking Cheng Yu up and down, the old man made a gesture of please.

"In that case, let's get on board."

After the old man finished speaking, Cheng Yu waved to Cao Cao's soldiers behind him, and countless Cao Cao's soldiers rushed out.

The old man thought that Cheng Yu was going to hijack his ship, so he said in a trembling voice.

"What are you going to do? Didn't you say that there are only three people?"

Cheng Yu watched the panicked old man step forward and grabbed the old man's right hand to comfort him.

"Don't worry, old man, I'm just loading some things on your boat."

Looking at Cheng Yu's elegant and easy-going look, the old man said with a long sigh of relief.

"But my small boat holds so many things, it will be inconvenient to move, and there is a risk of sinking the ship with so many things at any time."

Cheng Yu smiled when he heard the old man's words, and said, "Old man, don't worry, it won't exceed the weight of your boat."

Cheng Yu comforted the old man, and soon the cabin was full.

Cheng Yu looked at the full cabin and smiled with satisfaction, then said to the sergeant who came to see him off.

"I must deliver the rest within two days."

The sergeant left after receiving the order, Cheng Yu looked at the leaving sergeant and turned to the boatman.

"Boater, let's sail."

After the boatman received the order, he slowly inserted the oar in his hand into the water, and the boat began to slide slowly with the push of the oar.

The boat sailed all night until the next morning, when heavy fog rose above the river.

The continuous heavy fog had reduced the degree visible to the naked eye to the minimum, but the rowing boatman did not panic and rowed the boat in an orderly manner.

"Guest officer, we're here."

After the boatman arrived at the destination, he woke up Cheng Yu, who was sleeping in the cabin. After waking up, Cheng Yu looked at the thick fog on the river, took a few deep breaths of fresh air and said.

"Go!"
