On the third day after Chen Chu received the news of Yuan Shao's defeat, Yuan Shao's envoy suddenly came to Chang'an.

Chen Chu immediately met the other party in the inner hall.

The envoy can be said to be Chen Chu's old acquaintance, he is inextricably linked with the Northern Army, this person is Xu Yu Xu Ziyuan.

"General, don't come unharmed!" Xu You saluted Chen Chu with a smile on his face.

Chen Chu laughed, then shook Xu You's hand affectionately, and said, "I didn't expect it to be Mr. Ziyuan!" Mr. Ziyuan is always good at his first brother? But

he didn't want Xu Yu to show a sad look on his face and sighed.

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Mr. Ziyuan, what is there to worry about?"

Xu You seemed to stop talking, and finally sighed: "Don't say it!" Don't talk about it!

Chen Chu glanced at Jia Xu beside him, and Jia Xu shook his head.

Chen Chu turned his head and said sincerely: "Mr. Ziyuan and I can be regarded as friends, if Mr. Ziyuan has any difficulties, you can come to me!"

Chen Chu asked Xu You to sit down, and at this time, Xu You showed emotion on his face and said, "That's it!" The general and I are not outsiders, so I'll tell the general!

Chen Chu sat down on the main seat, showing a listening expression.

Xu You hugged his fists at Chen Chu and said: "I'm not afraid of the general's jokes, I'm being squeezed out everywhere in Yuan Shao, it's really hard!" "It's just three minutes. There was a depressed and distressed look on his face, but the corners of his eyes were secretly glancing at Chen Chu, and he seemed to be observing Chen Chu's reaction.

Chen Chu smiled faintly, thinking in his heart: What does Xu Yu mean by saying such a sentence without a head? Could it be that he has plans to leave Yuan Shao, so he is testing me!

Thinking of this, Chen Chu had a plan.

Chen Chu picked up the wine glass and said to Xu You: "Mr. Ziyuan, don't be distressed, drink this cup first." "Let's drink it all first.

Xu You hurriedly raised his wine glass and saluted Chen Chu, and then drank it all.

Chen Chu put down the wine glass, looked at Xu You, and said straight to the point: "If Mr. Xu You is unwilling, you can come to me." I will not treat Mr. Ziyuan badly.

Xu You showed joy, and hurriedly got up and saluted Chen Chu and said, "The general is so kind to you, I am really grateful!" His voice trembled, and in his eyes was the look of a long-suffering underground party member who had finally found the party.

Chen Chu smiled faintly and said, "Right now, I am in a brotherly alliance with my first brother, so I also ask Mr. Ziyuan to stay with my first brother for the time being." Perhaps, I will have something to ask Mr. Ziyuan for help. Although

Xu You's character is not good, he is by no means stupid, he can hear the meaning of Chen Chu's words. Hurriedly bowed down to Chen Chu, "I am determined to serve the Lord and serve the dogs and horses!" "

Hehe, the title was changed quickly!

After Xu You showed his loyalty, Chen Chu asked him to sit down, and then asked, "This time, what is the important matter for Brother Ben to send Mr. Ziyuan?"

Xu You immediately replied: "Yuan Shao's 300,000 army was destroyed in Dingtao, Yuan Shao was terrified, he didn't know what to do, so he sent down to find out the meaning of the lord."

Chen Chu glanced at Jia Xu, and then asked, "What did Mr. suggest to Brother Benchu?"

Xu You's face was pale, and he replied: "I said, you can join forces with the general to attack Cao." "

Oh? What does Yuan Shao mean?

"Yuan Shao has been moved by me, but there is still one condition missing." Xu Yu looked at Chen Chu incomprehensibly.

"On what terms?"

"The lord must also send heavy troops out of the pot pass to attack Yecheng. As long as the lord sends heavy troops to attack Yecheng, Yuan Shao will definitely reorganize his troops and attack Yanzhou! Xu You looked at Chen Chu with blazing eyes.

Chen Chu suddenly moved. You can come whatever you want! If Yuan Shaojun cooperates, the problem will be solved! It's just....

Chen Chu looked at Xu Yu calmly, a little worried in his heart.

turned his head to look at Jia Xu on the side and made a look.

Jia Xu understood, hugged his fist at Xu You and said, "If that's the case, it couldn't be better!" Mr. Ziyuan can go back and tell Yuan Shao, just say that I will conquer the northern army and raise an army of 400,000 to attack Yanzhou!

Chen Chu was taken aback, he didn't mean that! However, Chen Chu didn't say anything, because he knew that Jia Xu must have his reasons for doing this.

Xu You showed surprise, "If that's the case, Yanzhou and Qingzhou will fall into the hands of the lord soon!"

Although Chen Chu didn't know Jia Xu's plan yet, he cooperated and said: "Even if Cao Cao is eliminated, I will not take an inch of land from Yanzhou and Qingzhou."

Xu You thought that Chen Chu was talking about the scene, and hurriedly echoed and smiled: "The lord is really benevolent and righteous!"

Chen Chu smiled and continued: "I will ask Your Majesty to draw up a holy decree to make Brother Ben Chu Prime Minister, and at the same time hand over the governance of Yanzhou and Qingzhou to Brother Ben Chu.

Xu You was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and hurriedly hugged his fists with admiration: "The lord is really wise!"

Chen Chu smiled, stood up and walked down, Xu You quickly stood up, clasped his hands into fists and bowed slightly, to show his respect for Chen Chu.

Chen Chu affectionately held Xu You's arm and said, "Mr. Ziyuan has been tired all the way, so take a good rest first!" In the evening, I was in the house to pick up the wind and wash the dust for my husband!

Xu You showed a flattered expression, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, lord!"

Xu You's answer shows Xu You's character, good face, and likes to be in the limelight. If it were someone else, it would be humble and postpone it first.

Chen Chu personally sent Xu You out of the General's Mansion, and then instructed Dian Wei to send Xu You to stay in the pavilion.

After Xu You left, Chen Chu and Jia Xu turned around and walked to the backyard.

In the evening, Chen Chu frowned slightly and asked Jia Xu, "Wenhe, why did you say such a thing to Xu You just now?" That's not what I meant! Chen Chu's tone showed some displeasure.

Jia Xu hurriedly bowed down and apologized: "My subordinates are in charge of their own affairs, and I ask the lord to forgive me!"

Chen Chu smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: You guys with high wisdom like to do this kind of thing! Moreover, you are all out of public spirit! What can I do with you?

"That's it! Get up and talk back! "

Thank you, Lord!" Jia Xu stood up, and then explained his plans to Chen Chu in detail.

......

In the end, Chen Chu smiled and said, "What a Jia Wenhe!" It's so well thought out!

Jia Xu smiled and hugged his fists and said, "The lord has won the award!" Then

the two looked at each other and laughed. But there was a hint of intrigue in the laughter.

That night, Chen Chu hosted a banquet for Xu Yu in the backyard of the General's Mansion, accompanied by Jia Xu and other generals. During the banquet, Xu You talked loudly, very arrogant, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun had good cultivation, and they didn't have the same knowledge as him, and the hot-tempered Lu Bu and Ma Chao couldn't get used to it, and their faces were gloomy, if they hadn't been stopped by Chen Chu with his eyes, they were afraid that the two would find trouble with Xu You on the spot.

A wine banquet ended without embarrassment, and only Xu Yu returned happy.

"Lord, why are you so kind to that Xu You?" Lu Bu asked puzzled.

Chen Chu smiled, but did not answer. The next day, Chen Chu personally went to the palace and asked Emperor Han Xian to draft a holy decree, and then solemnly handed over this easily obtained holy decree to Xu You.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xu You set off for Luoyang. Chen Chu personally went to the city gate to see him off.

Looking at the carriage that was rolling away, a deep smile appeared on Chen Chu's face.

By the end of August, Liu Bei, who had withdrawn to Xiaopei, received an urgent report from Xuzhou that Huainan Yuan Shu had raided Xuzhou, and the two counties of Surabaya and Lingbi had been lost, and Yuan Shu's 200,000 troops were pointing to Xuzhou, and Xuzhou was in danger.

Liu Bei was taken aback when he received the urgent report, and did not dare to delay, so he led the army south to reinforce him. As for Xiao Pei, only 10,000 people were left to defend.

The flames of the Great War in the Central Plains were once again ignited.

There is an independent small courtyard next to the study of the General's Mansion, and there is only a two-storey wooden building in the small courtyard, with iron guards guarding the entrances and exits, and not everyone can enter.

This is the archives of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and all kinds of information about the Northern Expeditionary Army and the situation of several states under the jurisdiction of the Northern Expeditionary Army over the past few years, and even the information of other states collected are stored here, in addition to these, there is also information on the Western Regions, Xianbei, Goguryeo and other foreign regions.

There is another such archive in Bingzhou, and the reason why it is also set up in Chang'an is because Chen Chu will move the governance office to Chang'an in the future, after all, the location of Bingzhou is too biased, and it is okay to be a governance office now, but I am afraid that it will not be suitable in the future.

The archives store all kinds of important materials about the Northern Expeditionary Army, which can definitely be said to be a military aircraft center, but at this moment, there is a young man in civilian clothes who is carefully reading various materials in this military aircraft center.

This young man is none other than Sima Yi, who returned to Chang'an with everyone some time ago.

Sima Yi's sudden appearance surprised Chen Chu, and he had a long talk with Sima Yi and his father's eldest brother that night.

The insight and knowledge of Sima and his son made Chen Chu praise in his heart, especially Sima Yi's analysis of today, which made Chen Chu admire. And Sima's father and son were also deeply impressed by Chen Chu's unprecedented concept of governing the country, and they couldn't help but feel that the general Chen Chu really deserved to be an invincible hero who dominated the world.

The four of them talked about it late at night, and Chen Chu, who was still unsatisfied, personally arranged for the three of them to stay in the General's Mansion.

Early the next morning, the resignation of the three came down. Sima Fang was sent by Chen Chu to Bingzhou, and Chen Chu planned to familiarize him with the situation in the controlled area first, and then put him in charge of civil law; Sima Lang will return to Xiliang with Ma Teng and Zhao Yun, and his duty in Xiliang is to manage the civil affairs of Xiliang; As for Sima Yi, Chen Chu did not accept any official position for him, but asked him to stay in the archives for a few days before speaking.

Chen Chu asked Sima Yi to go to the archives first, which made Sima Yi pleasantly surprised, he knew that Chen Chu had high expectations for him.

Since that day, Sima Yi has lived and eaten in the archives, and except for his rest time, he has been immersed in the vast amount of archival materials. Ten days have passed before I know it.

That morning, after Sima Yi had breakfast, he flipped through the information as usual.

Just as he was immersed in it, Chen Chu walked in gently. Seeing Sima Yi's concentrated appearance, Chen Chu did not disturb him, but sat down on the side and waited quietly.

At noon, Sima Yi put down a volume of information in his hand and nodded lightly, with a look of emotion on his face.
