Three Kingdoms: God-level selection

Seeing He Jin coming over, Lu Zhi, and He Miao hurriedly bowed and clasped their fists, shouting,"General!"

When there are outsiders present, even He Miao has to call him"General" instead of"brother."

Su Yan did not dare to neglect him and saluted with the two of them.

He Jin smiled and said,"We are not in the court now, why are there so many etiquettes? Lord Lu, everyone is waiting for you."

As he said, he took Lu Zhi's hand and walked into the banquet hall. He Miao followed closely, and Su Yan followed behind one step behind.

After entering the banquet hall, Su Yan took a look and found that there were already quite a few people sitting inside.

When these people saw He Jin pulling Lu Zhi in, they hurriedly stood up and shouted in unison,"Hello, Lord Lu!"

""Everyone, you are polite."

Lu Zhi bowed to these people, and then followed He Jin to sit in the front seat.

He Miao was also of high status, and sat in the first seat to the right of He Jin.

Su Yan, because of his low status and reputation, could only sit in the back seat.

"" Come on, serve the food!"

He Jin ordered, and then a group of maids came in one after another and began to serve wine and food to each table of guests.

After a while, when the wine and food were served, He Jin raised his glass and said with a smile:"Gentlemen, Lord Lu has returned from Youzhou today. The journey was long and tiring. Let's toast him!"

"Lord Lu, we toast you!"

Everyone below stood up and toasted Lu Zhi, who also stood up and said with a smile:"Everyone, please!"

"Please!"

Everyone drank a glass together, then sat down and started chatting.

He Jin, He Miao and Lu Zhi sat closest, and the three of them gathered together and talked about something.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively, and people around gathered in groups of three or two to talk, forming small groups one after another.

Su Yan didn't know anyone present, and many people held higher official positions than him, so no one wanted to come and talk to him.

He sat there alone, drinking wine, eating snacks, and looking at the people around him from time to time.

Suddenly, he felt a gaze falling on him, staring at him.

Looking up and following the feeling, he saw a slightly familiar face staring at him.

Su Yan was stunned,"Yuan Shu?"

Yes, this man is Yuan Shu, who had met Su Yan once during the day.

At that time, he was riding a fast horse, leading a group of soldiers to gallop on the street and hit pedestrians. Su Yan rescued a little girl from under his horse, which made him unhappy.

The two of them looked at each other at that time, and they remembered each other's appearance in their hearts.

Yuan Shu looked at him, his eyes gradually became gloomy and low, and a hint of a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect you to be here too, humph! Dare to offend me, I'll make you pay!"

Yuan Shu looked at Su Yan, his mouth moved slightly, and he uttered these words, and Su Yan understood.

He smiled disdainfully and turned his head away.

This guy is narrow-minded and vindictive, he doesn't even bother to care about him.

"Are you the disciple of Lord Lu, Su Yan, the governor of Su County?"

At this time, a short and strong man with a dark complexion came over with a glass of wine.

Hearing this, Su Yan turned to look at him, smiled, stood up and said:"My name is Su Yan, with the courtesy name Zi Yang, may I know who you are?"

"I am Cao Cao, courtesy name Mengde, and I am honored to meet Governor Su.

Cao Cao smiled and bowed.

Su Yan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were a little surprised.

Was it really Cao Cao?

When he saw Cao Cao coming, he thought he had a unique appearance and an extraordinary demeanor when he raised his hands, so he must not be an ordinary person.

When he thought that this was in He Jin's mansion, he knew it must be Cao Cao.

Su Yan had heard of his fame since he was a child.

But when he actually saw Cao Cao, he was still a little surprised.

"It turned out to be General Cao, the counselor of Cao. I have heard of his great reputation for a long time, but meeting him today is more important than hearing about him."

Su Yan said with a smile

""Sir Su, thank you for your compliment. I have heard that Sir Su defeated the Wuhuan people several times in Youzhou and spread the reputation of the Han Dynasty. He is brave enough to fight against ten thousand men. I have always wanted to meet Sir Su. It is my great honor to meet him in person today."

Cao Cao was very good at speaking. He praised Su Yan to the sky with just a few words, which made people feel comfortable.

Su Yan laughed and said to Cao Cao,"General Cao is really polite. I am just lucky. I can't say anything."

"Luck is also a kind of strength, Cao admires it.

Cao Cao complimented, and then said:"Cao saw that Su Taishou and Yuan Gonglu stared at each other just now, and the atmosphere was quite bad. May I ask if Su Taishou has any grudge against him?"

Su Yan smiled and said:"It's not a grudge, it's just a little unpleasant thing that happened."

Seeing that Su Yan did not say it clearly, Cao Cao did not ask any more questions, but instead started chatting with him enthusiastically.

Gradually, some people around noticed their chat and were surprised.

Many of the people present were locals who served in the court and were very clear about Cao Cao's life experience.

Cao Cao had been famous in Luoyang City since he was young. After he became an adult, he served as the Northern Commander and invented the five-color stick, which he used to beat many powerful people.

The most famous of them should be that he beat to death the current emperor's favorite, Jian Shuo's uncle.

At that time, Jian Shuo's eyes were bloodshot, and he cried and begged Emperor Ling of Han to punish Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao himself did nothing wrong in this matter, he just used excessive torture to kill people.

Moreover, his grandfather, Cao Teng, was also a famous official of his generation, and had considerable prestige and momentum in the court.

Even if he was dead, the connections he left behind were enough to guarantee the prosperity of the Cao family.

So even if Emperor Ling of Han favored Jian Shuo again, he could not kill Cao Cao, and the matter was left unresolved.

But because of this incident, Cao Cao was completely in Luoyang City. Become famous, and be truly known by the people of the powerful class.

Many people have two attitudes towards him. One side is hostile to him because of his background; the other side thinks that he is very talented and worth making friends with.

The representatives of this group are the two brothers of the Yuan family and Bao Xin of the Bao family.

Cao Cao often hangs out with them, chatting about major events in the world and conspiring for major plans.

A few years ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the rebellion of the Three Auxiliary Armies of Liangzhou broke out. These people were promoted for their meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, and then they entered the sight of General He Jin and became guests of honor in the general's mansion. The person

He Jin valued most was Yuan Shao, the eldest son of the Yuan family!

Because Yuan Shao's background represented the power of the family behind him, and he often offered advice to He Jin and helped him control the military power, He Jin took him as his confidant and made him his first think tank.

These people are very familiar with Cao Cao's character, and know that he likes to make friends with celebrities, and ordinary people are not worthy of such enthusiastic entanglement.

So Su Yan, who can be treated like this by Cao Cao, must be no ordinary person.

"Yuncheng, do you know who the person who talked to Meng De is?"

Yuan Shao asked Bao Xin.
