Cheng Yu ushered the two into the thatched cottage and said with a smile,"My humble abode is simple, please bear with me."

Su Yan said with a smile,"Mr. Zhongde lives alone in this paradise-like countryside, ignoring worldly affairs. He is really relaxed and leisurely, which makes people envious."

Cheng Yu sat down and said with a smile,"There is no such thing as a paradise in this world now. There have been frequent wars in Dongjun in recent years, and I cannot stay out of it."

"Come, I'll make you some tea."

He was about to stand up when Guo Jia stopped him.

"Brother, don't bother. We came here to talk to you."

"Oh? Let me guess, you told General Su that I live here, so you came here to invite me to serve, right?"

Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia and guessed with a smile.

"As expected, I can't hide it from you, Senior Brother." Guo Jia smiled and said,"That's right, this time my lord and I came here to ask Senior Brother Cheng to come out and help my lord, so that we can accomplish great things together."

""Lord?"

Cheng Yu was a little surprised by Guo Jia's address to Su Yan. He didn't expect that Guo Jia had already recognized Su Yan as his lord.

The two were brothers in Yingchuan, and they knew each other very well. They were friends regardless of age.

Cheng Yu knew very well that although Guo Jia looked unruly and a playboy.

But his talent was by no means inferior to his own. Even Sima Hui, the Master of Water Mirror, had commented on him, saying that he had"the ability of Zhang Liang."

If he met a hero, he could help him achieve great things and become a high-ranking official.

Guo Jia, who was gifted by nature, always had high requirements for his choice of lord.

Even Yuan Shao, the son of the Yuan family who was a third-generation official for four generations, he still didn't take him seriously.

And this Su Yan was just a child from an ordinary family, but he could get the recognition of Guo Jia. It seemed that he must have some qualifications that only a hero could have.

Cheng Yu was also a little curious about this, so he looked at Su Yan and asked,"I wonder what General Su thinks of the current situation in the world? Su Yan smiled slightly and said,"Now the Han Dynasty is in decline, the government is weak, and treacherous people are in power. The world will be in turmoil in the future. When the princes rise up, it will be a good time for us to stand up."

"What is the general's ambition?"

Cheng Yu asked

""Clear the four corners of the world, put the world in order, control the world's situation, establish a foundation for eternity, and establish unprecedented merits!"

Su Yan affirmed.

Cheng Yu's eyes lit up. With such ambitions, it seems that he is not a person who is blindly loyal to the Han Dynasty. If he has the ability to judge people and has the help of counselors, he will surely achieve great things.

But he sighed and said,"Although the general has such ambitions, it is a pity that he has no background and foundation. It is very difficult to accomplish anything."

Guo Jia smiled and said,"Senior brother, do you know the background of the lord?" Cheng

Yu shook his head and said he didn't know.

Guo Jia then said,"The lord's father is the current governor of Youzhou, who controls the power of Youzhou, and before the lord came to the capital, he served as the prefect of Zhuo County. He has tens of thousands of armored soldiers under his command, and thousands of elite cavalry."

"Moreover, the people of Zhuo County are loyal to the lord, and his prestige is immeasurable. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the rear foundation is solid."

"With this foundation, plus the support of the lord's father, Youzhou can serve as the basis for the lord to establish himself."

"By then, the lord will be stationed in the north, and the strength of his cavalry will increase greatly. He can sweep across Ji, Qing and the three states and unify Hebei. Then he can march south to take the Central Plains and establish a great cause in one fell swoop."

"At that time, the lord had occupied half of the thirteen states, and the whole world was under his control. The lord could seize the two states of Jing and Yi as well as Jiangdong, and finally establish his hegemony. It would only take a thought to become a king or an emperor."

Guo Jia spoke these words with great confidence, his face full of confidence.

""Brother, what do you think of Jia's point of view?"

Guo Jia looked at Cheng Yu and smiled.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Cheng Yu clapped his hands, looked at Guo Jia and praised:"Feng Xiao really deserves the name of a genius. He has even planned everything for General Su. I don't know what an old man like me can do if I go there."

""Mr. Zhongde's words are wrong."

Su Yan smiled and said,"Although Fengxiao has the talent of ghosts and gods, he has his own specialties. He is not good at governing internal affairs and being an official. He needs a wise elder like Mr. Zhongde to control him."

"I heard from Fengxiao that Lord Zhongde has studied a lot about the way of being an official, so he must be very proficient in the knowledge of officialdom."

"Su Yan asked himself that he did not know much about this Dao, and urgently needed an elder to guide him. I thought that Zhong Degong was the right person. Yan begged Zhong Degong to come out and help him, so that he could conquer the world and establish a great merit for all ages."

After saying that, Su Yan stood up and bowed to Cheng Yu.

"Ding! The host activates the innate skill of eloquence, and the persuasiveness of speech is +30%"

Seeing this, Cheng Yu smiled.

He stood up and walked forward to help Su Yan up, saying with a smile:"I am grateful that the general thinks highly of me. After listening to what you and Feng Xiao said, I am convinced. I am willing to serve the general today and help him sweep across the world and pacify the country!"

He took a step back and bowed to Su Yan.

""Cheng Yu, meet the lord!"

Su Yan hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile:"I have the help of Lord Zhongde, just like Emperor Gaozu had Zhang Liang and Emperor Guangwu had Deng Yu. With your help, why worry about not accomplishing my great cause?"

Cheng Yu was delighted when he heard this. Su Yan compared him like this, obviously thinking highly of him, which made him more convinced that he had not made a mistake.

Guo Jia smiled and said,"That's good, senior brother. From now on, we will work together under the lord and do public affairs without having to separate."

Cheng Yu shook his head and smiled:"You were right. We don't have to separate in the future."

The relationship has been established. Cheng Yu and Su Yan have no estrangement. Naturally, they can tell each other everything they know.

Su Yan told Cheng Yu about his recent situation in the capital, without missing a single thing, except for the part about Queen He.

After listening, Cheng Yu nodded and said,"My lord, your many actions in Luoyang are indeed correct. The forces there are complicated and the people are numerous and chaotic. If you don't have a little military power in your hands, you may not be able to move forward in Luoyang."

Su Yan nodded and said,"That's what I mean, too. That's why I attach great importance to the 4,000 Xiyuan Left Army. I have never stopped training and have been preparing for battle, waiting for the opportunity to come."

He looked around, deliberately lowered his voice, leaned his head over and said:

"According to my deduction, your majesty is nearing the end of his life and will not live for more than a month."

When these words came out, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia's faces were immediately shocked.

""My lord, is this news true?"

Cheng Yu asked in surprise.

Guo Jia also looked at Su Yan in surprise. He didn't expect Su Yan to know this.

Su Yan shook his head and said,"I'm not sure, but I think it should be correct."

"Both Zhongdegong and Fengxiao knew that I was the General of the Imperial Guards, responsible for guarding the palace. I heard the news from the imperial physicians in private."

Cheng Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other, and he said,"Since it is what the imperial physician said, it must be almost true. It seems that your majesty is really going to die."

Guo Jia nodded in agreement.

Su Yan thought to himself, I can only make up this reason for you to believe.

I can't say that I came from a time travel and knew the history in advance, right? That sounds too far-fetched, so it's better to make up a reliable reason.
