Xu Chang City.
Xun Mansion.
Xun Yu and Xun You were very busy now.
Cao Cao trusted the two of them so much that he directly ordered them to manage the entire Xu Chang City.
For this reason, he did not let the two of them follow the southern expedition army.
During this period of time, they had been imitating Bai Feng's method of governing Xu Chang.
However, they encountered many obstacles along the way.
After all, Xu Chang and Hanzhong could not be compared.
Although there were landowning households in Hanzhong, most of them were commoners and were easier to control.
Moreover, many landowning households in Hanzhong ran away after Zhang Lu's death. Those who stayed were not ambitious.
Therefore, it was feasible to implement the new policies using Shang Zhi City's method.
However, Xu Chang was completely different.
The biggest difference was that there were too many landowning households in Xu Chang.
These landowning households were complicated and many of them were from the Dark Net.
In fact, Xu Chang was not considered a city at first. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a small county town.
However, because of Cao Cao, Xu Chang was promoted to a huge city in one fell swoop. Many landowning households moved in one after another to curry favor with Cao Cao.
After all, everyone was able to clearly see the current situation.
Whether they were willing or not, they had to build a good relationship with Cao Cao.
Otherwise, they could forget about living well in the entire northern region.
Although Cao Cao had the idea of moving the capital to Ye City in recent years, it had been delayed because of many years of war.
Therefore, it was basically impossible to use Shang Zhi City to govern Xu Chang.
This was equivalent to slapping the landowning households in the face.
However, the Xun family was considered a big landowning household after all. At the very least, the small landowning households had to be obedient.
However, it was hard to say for big landowning households like the Yang family and the Sima family.
Moreover, it was not just these two families.
Therefore, Xun Yu had no choice but to give up and focus on the previous model.
This kind of deep-rooted nobility concept could no longer be saved.
Unless they really moved the capital to Ye City.
In that case, they would use Shang Zhi City from the beginning. When the time came, the landowning households would have to agree even if they did not want to.
If they did not agree, they would continue to stay in Xu Chang.
However, the consequences were self-evident.
If he did not build a good relationship with the Cao Family, he might not be able to survive in the Central Plains in the future.
In fact, it wasn't just these landowning households. In the beginning, Xun Yu and Xun You were also very disgusted by the way Shang ruled the city.
However, this was Bai Feng's doing, so they could only wait and see.
In the end, the effect was so good that it was beyond their imagination.
Now, it could be said that the two of them could not extricate themselves.
However, just as the two of them were busy dealing with Xu Chang's affairs, an uninvited guest came to the Xun family.
Moreover, he came in through the back door!
Most people did not know about the Xun family's back door. Even some of the small aristocratic families under the Xun family did not have the authority to know.
Those who knew about it were the most trusted members of the Xun family.
And Bai Feng was one of them.
After seeing Sun Shangxiang, Xun Yu and Xun You were both dumbfounded.
Why haven't I seen this girl before?
They had seen Qin Liangyu before, but they had never seen Sun Shangxiang.
Moreover, the two of them had never been to Jiangdong, so it was even more impossible for them to know Sun Shangxiang.
It could also be said that other than the Sun Quan clan in Jiangdong and Liu Bei, no one had seen Sun Shangxiang before.
"Sir asked me to come here."
Sun Shangxiang made a long story short and directly handed the letter to Xun Yu and Xun You.
The moment Xun Yu saw the letter, he immediately understood Sun Shangxiang's identity. He hurriedly said,
"Gongda, quickly inform the internal guards that he is not seeing anyone!"
Xun You immediately nodded and hurriedly left.
On the other hand, Xun Yu brought Sun Shangxiang to the study of the Inner Mansion, where he carefully read the letter from Bai Feng.
His expression gradually became extremely unsightly.
"Does Sir have any instructions?"
Xun Yu looked at Sun Shangxiang with a serious face and asked.
Sun Shangxiang shook her head and said, "No.
"No, Sir only asked me to deliver this letter and let the two of you do as the higher-ups say."
At this time, Xun You also hurried over.
"What did Sir say in the letter?"
Xun Yu frowned and said,
"Sir asked us to find an opportunity to spread the news that Jiang Wei went to Jingzhou and make sure that Childe Cao Zhi knows about it."
"But we can't let Childe Cao Pi know about it."
Hearing this, Xun You suddenly looked puzzled and said,
"Why is that?"
"Sir, haven't you always been at odds with Childe Cao Zhi? Why do you ask us to do this? "
Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully,
"I'm afraid that you're suspecting that young master Cao Zhi is the one who sent the assassins to attack Jiang Wei."
"However, Young Master Cao Pi is also a suspect. Thus, Mister's intention should be to see which of the two of them it is."
Xun You's face gradually became serious.
"Uncle, how did you know that Jiang Wei was assassinated?"
Xun Yu sighed softly and said,
"That day, I went to Hanzhong to tell Sir about the current situation in Xuchang."
"I just happened to run into this matter. At that time, Sir told me."
Xun You said angrily,
"How dare the two of you do such a thing?"
"Even the two of you can't escape punishment for assassinating an official of the imperial court!"
"I think it's better to tell Wei Emperor about this."
Xun Yu shook his head and said,
"No!"
"If it's Deng Ai, maybe Wei Emperor will take care of it. But if it's Jiang Wei, Wei Emperor might just let it go."
"After all, although Jiang Wei is Sir's disciple, he doesn't have an official position in the imperial court. He only has a general position in the army. And because he doesn't have any military achievements, his general position is not high."
"Sir must have thought of this when he wants to avoid Wei Emperor's probing."
"Since that's the case, we have to listen to Sir."
"The two of us need to find Cao Zhi as soon as possible and inform him as discreetly as possible."
"Or, you can pass the information to Young Master Cao Zhi while pretending not to know."
Xun You shook his head and said,
"I don't think it's appropriate."
"If we do that, Cao Zhi might be suspicious."
"Why don't we send someone to the Yang Clan to spread the news?"
"At that time, as long as Yang Xiu knows about it, young master Cao Zhi will naturally know."
"Moreover, the Yang Clan will support Cao Zhi. They won't tell Cao Pi about this."
"This way, we can kill two birds with one stone."
Xun Yu laughed and said,
"Good! Gongda, you've made progress. This is a good plan! "
"Send two internal guards to the Yang Clan to spread the news."
"By the way, Miss, please stay here for a few days."
"After this matter is spread out, I'll have to trouble you to report it to your teacher."
Sun Shangxiang immediately nodded her head heavily.
She was extremely shocked.
Xun Yu and Xun You didn't know her, but Sun Shangxiang knew them!
