Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 287: If you are alone, you will have no worries about your future (first update)
In the camp of Cao Jun.

With a look of guilt on his face, Zhong Yao prostrated himself in front of Cao Mengde, apologizing for his failure to defend the land in Guanzhong.

Facing Zhong Yao who looked like this, Cao Mengde just looked gloomy, but did not punish him immediately.

"Gongda." After hesitating for a while, Cao Mengde still turned his attention to Xun You who was at the side.

"Prime Minister!"

"At this time, what do you think?"

"." Xun You raised his eyes and glanced at Zhong Yao, and then said calmly, "Guilty, but he must pay for his crime and make meritorious service!

You can be punished, but not severely! "

"Well..." Cao Mengde pondered again, and then stroked his beard slightly, "If you act like this, how will the truth alert the world in the future?"

After Cao Mengde finished speaking, he quickly added another sentence.

"However, Zhong Yuanchang has indeed worked hard for many years and has made great achievements in governing Guanzhong. In this case.
Demoted Zhong Yao to the position of captain of the northern part of Luoyang, and temporarily took charge of affairs in Guanzhong, waiting for the consequences! "

After this punishment, everyone fell silent, saying that there was no punishment. The official position of the captain in the north of Luoyang was a bit big.

But if it has to be serious, there is almost no change in this actual right.

To put it simply, it is what Xun You said, let Zhong Yao perform meritorious service. If Zhong Yao cannot regain the land of Yongliang in the future, then the northern captain wants to return to Sili Xiaowei.

This span is a bit scary
After dealing with Zhong Yao, Cao Mengde also began to disperse the army and arrange the places where the generals of the various ministries will be stationed.

These more than [-] troops are placed here, and they consume huge amounts of food and grass every day. Withdrawing them to various places can replace a large number of field troops.

It can also greatly alleviate his food crisis.

Zhong Yao, who had been "punished", also directly found his friend Xun You, who had just spoken for him, and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you Gongda. If it weren't for Gongda, I'm afraid Yao would never have the chance to return to Yongliang in this life."

"Yuan Chang, you don't have to be like this." Xun You relaxed a lot in front of Zhong Yao, "Even without You, the Prime Minister would never punish you severely, Yuan Chang.

Let You speak just to find a suitable reason. "

"Since Gongda knows Cao Gong so well, why didn't he agree?"

"Do you want to be like that lazy guy? It would be better to kill You!" Xun You couldn't help but sneered, "And it's better for You not to talk now."

"Ok?"

"Battle in the North. You have said too much, and now the prime minister wants you to stay in the rear.

Handle some legal matters, after all, Prime Minister."

"Is the Prime Minister going to take that step?" When Zhong Yao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

“The Prime Minister is not too old now, and the world is uncertain, so he needs to make some preparations.

And Duke Cao is already the prime minister now..."

After Xun You said this, he said no more. He has always been a taciturn character.

If it wasn't for Zhong Yao, I'm afraid he wouldn't even bother to speak.

Zhong Yao also knew Xun You's character and would not say anything more after seeing this. He already knew everything he needed to know.

Now Xun You is ready to replace his uncle, which means that his contribution cannot be too great.

After understanding this, Zhong Yao directly chose to continue to stay aside with his hands down, turning into a panting stone statue again.

Oh no!

There are two!
Cao Mengde did not return to Xudu immediately, nor did he ask too much about Xudu's situation, as if he had really handed everything over to Xun Yu.This attitude made many people's minds alive again.

Cao Mengde's failure did not dispel an idea in his mind, but instead made it intensify.

This caused a shift in his center of gravity and gave Liu Bei a chance to breathe.

It took a full month and a half, until the arrival of August, when Cao Mengde finally settled the army under his command and many subordinate officials and small officials.

In the past month and a half, Xun You finally took the initiative to find this powerful prime minister and handed over three directories he had written during this period.

"The first group consists of corrupt people from all over the country. If the evidence is conclusive, they can be killed to serve as a warning to others."

"The second role is for those who have done something illegal, but still have extenuating circumstances, or whose talents are truly outstanding.

It can be transferred to the prime minister's mansion, or punished and warned one or two. "

"As for this third portion."

"What about the third share?" Cao Mengde did not open the lists, but looked at Xun You with lowered eyes, "School Affairs Office and Bafu?"

"This is the prime minister's internal affairs. You can say it, but you can't say it."

"Well" Cao Mengde understood what Xun You meant and naturally did not continue to embarrass him, "In that case, then we know the truth.

As for these other things."

"These are the talents you know. Some have already served as officials and can be reused, while some have not yet answered the imperial edict."

Having said this, Xun You took out the fourth letter, which contained the talents he wanted to recommend and the things his uncle had done.

This directory was opened by Cao Mengde first, and he saw the first two names as soon as he opened it.

"Governing books and serving as censor Chen Qun."

"Sima Yi, the Minister of Huangmen."

As for the later ones, there are also people such as "Chen Jiao", "Xing Yong", "Liang Mao" and others.
Looking at this list of recommendations that had been considered in all aspects, Cao Mengde was also very satisfied.

But what he wanted today was more than just that.

What he wants is Xun You's attitude
"I am afraid that such a list will add a lot of new people to the court. Those old officials who have done nothing should also be cleaned up."

"." Xun You naturally didn't dare to speak after hearing this.

However, Cao Mengde seemed to have no intention of giving up.

"It's just that although the imperial court can thank the talented people, the world is far from being governed by just a few people.

Gu. Just wrote down some things, Gongda, what do you think? "

After saying that, Cao Mengde handed a letter of silk to Xun You, and when Xun You, who had always been expressionless, took it and took a first look, he couldn't help but his pupils were shaking.

"A king who has been appointed and rejuvenated since ancient times, is there no one who can rule the world with a sage and gentleman?"

"Seeking talents. Seeking talents. In today's troubled times, we should only rely on talents!"

"If you are alone, there will be no worries about your future!"

Looking at Cao Mengde who was looking up and laughing, Xun You just bowed slightly, still maintaining his cold face.

Despite the huge waves in his heart, his face remained motionless.

"In addition, regarding the follow-up matters in Jingzhou"

"You, you have made contact with the Sun family in Jiangdong, and you have also found an envoy. You can have a good talk with Liu Bei."
