Chapter 248

The speaker was Xun Chen, who did not have much presence.

But for the matter of visiting Cao Cao, Xun Chen was really the most suitable.

His biological younger brother, Seeing Xun Yu, served under Cao Cao and had already become the chief steward of the Cao camp.

(PS: There are two theories, the first is that Seeing Xun Yu is Xun Chen's older brother, the second is that Seeing Xun Yu is Xun Chen's younger brother; according to recent research, it is more likely that Seeing Xun Yu is Xun Chen's younger brother.)

If Xun Chen were sent to visit Cao Cao, the probability of persuading Cao Cao would naturally be greater.

"This matter is handed to Yuruo."

"Be sure to let that fellow Cao Aman know the truth that when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold."

After arranging these two diplomatic tasks, Yuan Shao's mood was much better than before.

Although Dong Zhuo was powerful, the one he had to deal with was the entire Guandong aristocratic group.

Who wins and who loses is still unknown.

But at least in Yuan Shao's view, the foundation of the Guandong aristocratic group was far from what Dong Zhuo could compare with.

……

Chang'an

West City Gate

Gu Yi led tens of thousands of troops back to Chang'an, which he had been away from for several months.

After a few months of absence, Dong Zhuo seemed to look a bit older than before.

But his body was still healthy, and there were not too many worries in the recent stage.

As the saying goes, people are refreshed by happy events.

The western border of the Han territory had been completely occupied by Dong Zhuo's army.

Next, he only needed to face the Guandong warlords and the Guandong aristocratic group standing behind them.

After returning to Chang'an.

Gu Yi first spent some time with Dong Bai and several beautiful concubines.

Then he went to the Chancellor's Mansion to briefly describe his general experiences over the past few months to Dong Zhuo.

Hearing the news that Gu Yi wanted to build a navy, Dong Zhuo felt a little surprised.

As a warrior from the northwest, Old Dong was completely a landlubber.

He had never been to the south and had never seen the scene of a large-scale naval battle.

However, given his full confidence in his granddaughter's husband.

Old Dong fully handed this matter over to Gu Yi to arrange.

As for funds, Gu Yi could apply for whatever he wanted.

After annexing Yizhou and Hanzhong, Old Dong was richer than before.

Coupled with the large treasury left by Liu Hong selling offices and titles, as well as the large amount of money left by He Jin and the Ten Eunuchs.

Meeting the funds needed to build a navy was simply too easy.

However.

A problem that needed urgent resolution was soon placed in front of Gu Yi.
