Chapter 558

"Hehe, Guo Guo Fengxiao, haven't seen you for several years, I didn't expect you to still be in this old state."

A trace of a smile squeezed out on the face of this gray-robed scholar in his thirties.

But those who know him well know.

If one easily underestimates him, the price paid will be very miserable.

"Hahahaha, Xun Xun Gongda, I cannot compare to you."

"Under my lord's command, I'm just mixing for food and clothing."

"And you?"

"Several years ago, you were already a red-hot person beside Great General He Jin!"

Guo Jia teased with a smile.

And the identity of this gray-robed scholar standing opposite him was also revealed.

Yes, this person is Xun You, Xun Xun Gongda.

As everyone knows, although Xun You is nominally Xun Yu's nephew.

But in reality, his age is a full six years older than Xun Yu's.

Back then, Xun You once served as a Clerk in Great General He Jin's mansion.

After He Jin died, Xun You resigned and returned, lurking in Luoyang City.

The Xun You in the original history once launched an assassination against Dong Zhuo after Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an!

Yes, Xun You's courage is just that big.

Many things that people wanted to do but couldn't, he intended to complete with his own strength.

But the result was also conceivable.

Xun You's assassination not only failed but he was also thrown into prison by Dong Zhuo.

Until several years later.

Li Jue and Guo Si launched a large-scale melee near Chang'an in order to snatch Liu Xie.

Xun You found a chance to be released from prison.

And after that, Xun You accepted Xun Yu's invitation to go to Yanzhou to seek refuge with Cao Cao.

And became the main strategist of the Cao camp.

He made countless contributions to Cao Cao's pacification of the north.

But...

That was just the Xun You in the original history.

The current Xun You's life trajectory has undergone huge changes.

Because of Gu Yi's butterfly effect, Xun You did not assassinate Dong Zhuo but has been lurking in Chang'an City all along.

He was struggling, he was hesitating.

As a top strategist, Xun You sees the world's general trend very clearly.

He understands that after obtaining Gu Yi's help, Dong Zhuo became the person with the most hope of unifying the world.

But what about after unifying the world?

With Gu Yi's character, how could he not take action against the aristocratic families?

Xun You decided to further observe Gu Yi.

But the more he observed, the more he felt cold in his heart.

Gu Yi is not taking action against the aristocratic families at all?

That is digging up the roots!

The encounters of the Nanyang aristocratic families, Yuzhou aristocratic families, and Jiangdong aristocratic families made Xun You feel full of dread for Gu Yi.

Besides this.

Gu Yi's treatment of the Yizhou aristocratic families and Xuzhou aristocratic families who took the initiative to seek refuge with him.

Although nominally promoting them, in reality, it is a way to weaken the huge influence of the aristocratic families in their original places.

Xun You understands that with the strength shown by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao now, they have almost lost the capital to continue confronting Gu Yi.

He must find a way to save the aristocratic family as a whole.

Otherwise.

After Gu Yi clears the world, the fate awaiting the aristocratic family as a whole will only be more miserable.

Thus, the following things happened.

Xun You set up some traps in the dark.

At the same time, he accepted Xun Yu's invitation to come to the vicinity of Xuzhou and meet with Guo Jia, who was waiting for him there.

"I say Xun Xun Gongda, could it be that you want to rebel in Xuzhou?"

"I advise you not to do this."

"The governor of Xuzhou is that guy Zhang Song."

"Although this guy is also from an aristocratic family, he is very cunning."

"Long ago, he already announced his allegiance to Gu Gu Linzhi."

"Besides that guy Zhang Song."

"Gu Gu Linzhi's trusted general Zhao Yun is also stationed here with tens of thousands of Countless Xiliang Iron Cavalry."

"Even if we had another 200,000 troops, I fear it would be impossible to succeed in a rebellion."

Guo Jia reminded Xun You with a smile.

Hearing what Guo Jia said, Xun You shook his head helplessly and said:

"Guo Guo Fengxiao, do I look like such a stupid person?"

"With Gu Gu Linzhi's methods, rebelling in any place under his rule cannot succeed."

"But... what if all places rebel at the same time?"

"No need to destroy Gu Gu Linzhi in one go."

"Just let Gu Gu Linzhi suffer huge losses, thereby losing a large piece of territory, so that the world can reach a balance again."

After the words fell.

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"Xun Xun Gongda, you make it sound simple."

"Under Gu Gu Linzhi's rule, who dares to rebel against him?"

"Is it that they think their lives are too long?"

Guo Jia was also kindly reminding Xun You.

But unexpectedly, Xun You shook his head and sighed:

"Guo Guo Fengxiao, oh Guo Guo Fengxiao, you are not a true member of an aristocratic family after all."

"Do you know that Gu Gu Linzhi is going to eradicate the roots of the aristocratic families!"

"Inherited to this day, which one of us in the aristocratic families does not prioritize the family?"

"Gu Gu Linzhi wants to destroy our roots, is it possible that we just watch him act recklessly without doing anything?"

Seeing that Xun You was not joking.

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia gradually put away his playful smile.

He could not help but ask suspiciously:

"Xun Xun Gongda, how exactly are you going to do this?"

"I know Gu Gu Linzhi's methods all too well."

"Even if those guys are dissatisfied with him, do they really dare to rebel against him?"

Regarding what Guo Jia said, Xun You did not agree.

He explained with a smile:

"An ant can shake a tree if it tries hard enough."

"The aristocratic families have suffered under Gu Gu Linzhi for too long!"

"If I gather the power of the aristocratic families together, even if Gu Gu Linzhi is powerful, how can he deal with it?"

"This strike will surely become a fatal blow that he cannot resist!"

Seeing Xun You so confident, Guo Jia nodded with half-belief.
