Xuchang City.

Xun Mansion.

Xun Yu and Xun You are very busy now.

Cao Cao trusted the two of them very much and directly ordered them to manage the entire city of Xuchang.

For this reason, neither of them was allowed to go out with the Southern Expedition Army.

During this period, they have been following Bai Feng's methods in governing Xuchang.

However, many obstacles were encountered along the way.

After all, Xuchang is incomparable to Hanzhong.

Although there are gentry in Hanzhong, most of them are common people and are easier to control.

Moreover, many of the nobles in Hanzhong fled after Zhang Lu's death, and those who remained had no ambitions.

Therefore, it is feasible to implement the New Deal and use business to govern the city.

But Xuchang is completely different.

The biggest difference is that there are too many nobles in Xuchang.

These noble families are complex, and there are many dark webs among them.

In fact, Xuchang was not originally a city. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was a larger county town.

However, because of Cao Cao, Xuchang was turned into a huge city in one fell swoop, and many nobles came to settle there, hoping to please Cao Cao.

After all, everyone can clearly see the current situation.

Regardless of whether you like it or not, you still need to have a good relationship with Cao Cao.

Otherwise, don’t think about it well in the entire northern region.

Although Cao Cao had the idea of ​​​​moving the capital to Yecheng in recent years, it has been postponed due to years of war.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to use business to govern Xuchang.

This is equivalent to slapping the face of the nobles.

However, after all, the Xun family can be regarded as a large gentry clan. At the very least, the small gentry clan must be obedient and willing to obey.

But for a big gentry like the Yang family and the Sima family, it's hard to say.

And it’s not just these two.

Therefore, Xun Yu had no choice but to give up and focus on the previous model.

This deep-rooted gentry concept can no longer be saved.

Unless we really move the capital to Yecheng.

In this case, the city will be governed by business from the beginning, and when the time comes, these nobles will have to agree even if they don't agree.

If you don’t agree, then continue to stay in Xuchang.

However, it is self-evident what the consequences will be.

If you don't establish a good relationship with the Cao family, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive in the entire Central Plains in the future.

In fact, not only these nobles, but Xun Yu and Xun You were also disgusted with this model of ruling the city through business.

But it happened to be what Bai Feng did, so they had to wait and see.

As a result, the effect was beyond their imagination.

Nowadays, it can be said that the two cannot extricate themselves.

However, while the two were busy dealing with affairs in Xuchang, an uninvited guest came to the Xun family.

Moreover, he came in through the back door!

Most people don't know about the Xun family's back door, and even some small noble families under the Xun family don't have the right to know.

Those who know are the ones the Xun family trusts the most.

And among them, Bai Feng was included.

After seeing Sun Shangxiang, Xun Yu and Xun You were both confused.

Why haven't you seen this girl before?

The two of them had met Qin Liangyu, but they had never met Sun Shangxiang.

What's more, the two of them have never been to Jiangdong at all, and they are even less likely to know Sun Shangxiang.

It can also be said that no one has seen Sun Shangxiang except the Sun Quan clan members in Jiangdong and Liu Bei.

"My husband asked me to come."

Sun Shangxiang kept his story short and handed the letter directly to Xun Yu and Xun You.

The moment Xun Yu saw the letter, he immediately understood Sun Shangxiang's identity and hurriedly said:

"Gongda, go and notify the internal guards, no one is there!"

Xun You nodded immediately after hearing this and left in a hurry.

Xun Yu took Sun Shangxiang to the inner study room and carefully read the letter from Bai Feng.

His face gradually became extremely ugly.

"Sir, do you have anything to say?"

Xun Yu looked at Sun Shangxiang with a serious face and said.

Sun Shangxiang shook his head and said:

"No, sir just asked me to send this letter to you so that you two can do it according to the instructions above."

At this time, Xun You also hurried over:

"What did the gentleman say in his letter?"

Xun Yu frowned and said:

"Sir, he asked me and I to find an opportunity to spread the news about Jiang Wei's trip to Jingzhou, making sure that Mr. Cao Zhi knows about it."

"However, Master Cao Pi must not be informed."

Hearing this, Xun You suddenly looked puzzled and said:

"Why?"

"Sir, haven't you always been at odds with Mr. Cao Zhi? Why do you want us to do this?"

Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully:

"I'm afraid, sir, what you mean is to suspect that Mr. Cao Zhi is the one who sent the assassin to attack Jiang Wei in the first place."

"However, Mr. Cao Pi is also suspicious, so sir, you probably want to see who among these two people it is."

Xun You's face gradually became serious:

"Uncle, how did you learn that Jiang Wei was assassinated?"

Xun Yu sighed softly and said:

"That day, I went to Hanzhong to inform Mr. Xuchang of the current trends."

"It just happened to happen. My husband told me about it at the time."

Xun You suddenly said angrily:

"How dare you two gentlemen do such a thing?"

"Even the two young masters cannot escape punishment for assassinating court officials!"

"I think it would be better to inform King Wei about this matter."

Xun Yu shook his head and said:

"No!"

"If it's Deng Ai, maybe the King of Wei will take care of it, but if it's Jiang Wei, the King of Wei might just let the matter go."

"After all, although Jiang Wei is Mr.'s disciple, he does not have an official position in the court. He only has a general position in the army, and because he has no military exploits, his general position is not high."

"Sir, if you want to avoid King Wei's temptation, you must have thought of this."

"In this case, of course we have to obey sir."

"The two of us need to go to Mr. Cao Zhi as soon as possible and inform him as vaguely as possible."

"Or, while pretending not to know, pass the news to Mr. Cao Zhi."

Xun You shook his head and said:

"I felt so inappropriate."

"If this is the case, Mr. Cao Zhi might become suspicious."

"We might as well send someone to the Yang family to spread the news."

"By then, as long as Yang Xiu knows about it, Mr. Cao Zhi will naturally know about it."

"Moreover, the Yang family assists Young Master Cao Zhi and will definitely not inform Young Master Cao Pi of this news."

“In this way, we kill two birds with one stone.”

Xun Yu immediately laughed and said:

"Good! Gongda has made great progress, this is a good plan!"

"Go and order two internal guards to go to the Yang family to spread the news."

"By the way, please ask the girl to stay here for a while."

"After this matter spreads out, please ask the girl to report the matter to sir."

Sun Shangxiang immediately nodded heavily.

She was extremely shocked.

Xun Yu and Xun You didn't know them, but Sun Shangxiang knew them!

The Xun family of these two people is also a famous clan in the whole north, and they actually follow Mr.!
