Three Kingdoms: I switched to Liu Bei, why are you crying, Cao Cao?

Chapter 8 What is pattern? This is pattern!

Hearing Xun Yu's voice, Qin Zhen simply reined in his horse, turned around and said with a smile:
"Why did Wenruo come just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

His voice echoed far away in the wilderness, and Xun Yu's heart sank again when he heard it.

If Qin Zhen asked him what he was doing there, he would still have a chance to persuade him.

But the underlying meaning of Qin Zhen's words is that I know you are coming, and I am already prepared for how to respond to your words!

If you listen to this sentence the other way around, it means Qin Zhen is making his statement: I must leave, no matter how you persuade me!
Xun Yu thought about it and rode forward with his guards.
"Is Zixuan really going to leave Cao Gong?"

Qin Zhen heard this, shook his head and smiled:

"If I don't go, Cao Gong will not tolerate it!"

Xun Yu listened, frowning even more:

"What if Cao Gong changes his mind?"

Qin Zhen shook his head again and said:
"If Lord Cao changes his mind, he will be fickle. If he changes his mind now, it will be hard to guarantee that he will change his mind in the future!"

"The gap has already been created, and it will be difficult to make up for it. Even if Cao Gong wants to use me in the future, I will not be able to display my abilities!"

These two sentences directly made Xun Yu unable to speak.

Before coming, he had thought of countless excuses, such as using the righteousness of the world to persuade Qin Zhen, or using emotion to persuade Qin Zhen to come back.

But Qin Zhen's two sentences made one thing clear: it was not that he wanted to leave, but that Cao Cao could not tolerate him.

Even if I follow him back, it will be of no use!
Subjectively, it shows that no matter how Cao Cao changes, his decision will not change.

After thinking about it, Xun Yu said in a deep voice:

"Even if Zixuan is determined to leave, Yu can't persuade him anymore!"

"I just want to ask one question. Zixuan is our military advisor. Since Dong Zhuo, we have relied on Zixuan and Zhicai's advice to achieve today's results!"

"Now that the talented man has passed away, Lord Cao no longer has a strategist by his side. If Zixuan leaves, wouldn't that be adding insult to injury?"

Seeing Xun Yu change his strategy, Qin Zhen smiled and replied:
"How can Wen Ruo know this and ask? After I leave, Cao Gong will have people like Guo Fengxiao and Xun Gongda under his command who can give advice!"

"These are all extraordinary talents in the world, and they can serve as good assistants to Lord Cao. Why do you say that one of them cannot be missing?"

"Besides, with me here, they can't display their talents. If I leave, they can show their talents. This is also Cao Gong's wish!"

What he said was the real situation under Cao Cao's command.

The current situation in Cao's camp is not like the original situation where each counselor has his own opinion.

Because of his existence, he actually became the most powerful person in Cao's camp, and all three armies regarded him as their military advisor.

When Guo Jia came out of retirement, Cao Cao praised him as a brilliant advisor, but he was always suppressed by him.

Although Xun You held a high position as soon as he arrived, serving as the prefect of Runan, he had no real power.

The only one who has real power to mobilize troops is him, the Military Advisor and Lieutenant General.

His real power lies not in his official position or reputation, but in his prestige in the army.

Now only if he leaves can he make room for other advisers. This is also Cao Cao's inner idea, to marginalize him and make use of other advisers.

Hearing this, Xun Yu suddenly felt a blockage in his heart, and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Does Zixuan blame me for recommending Guo Fengxiao?"

Of course he knew what Cao Cao was thinking. He was the one who recommended Guo Jia to check and balance Qin Zhen, but he never thought that these actions would squeeze Qin Zhen out of his position.

Hearing this, I thought Qin Zhen had a grudge against Guo Jia!

Qin Zhen was obviously not that stingy. He looked at Xun Yu and smiled:
"If Wen is a talent for admonishing the country and is dedicated to the public, why would he complain?"

But when Xun Yu heard this, he suddenly became angry and said:

"Zixuan knew this was a national issue, so why did he leave because of a personal grudge?"

"The Han Dynasty is now in chaos and war. We should be loyal to our country. Even if we have some resentment, which is more important than national affairs?"

"Now that Lord Cao is supporting the court, Zixuan definitely wants to abandon Lord Cao and leave, but he is not abandoning the court. Does he want to join someone else's army and be considered a traitor?"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Shu could no longer hold back and angrily shouted:
"Lord Xun's words are wrong. Why does Zixuan's departure mean he is treasonous against the court?"

"When will Cao Mengde be able to act on behalf of the court?"

He had been displeased with Cao since he joined his army. Now Xun Yu was using the moral blackmail of the world to blackmail him, and he naturally couldn't stand it.

Xun Yu raised his eyebrows when he was yelled at. Just as he was about to argue, he heard Qin Zhen laughing and said:
"Don't argue, how about you two just listen to me?"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at Qin Zhen at the same time.

Facing the gazes of the two, Qin Zhen smiled and said:

"Today's incident was originally caused by my intention to leave. Since you two mentioned this matter, I might as well ask you two a question."

"Please think about what the current chaos in the world is caused by?"

"Is it because the princes have risen together and the imperial court is weak, or is it because the current Han Dynasty has run out of luck and it is time for a new dynasty?"

After hearing his words, both of them froze in expression.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the answer is obviously the latter.

However, Xun Yu was a die-hard Han Dynasty loyalist, and he immediately said in a deep voice:
"If Zixuan were to say such evil things, I would not want to listen to them!"

Seeing this, Qin Zhen rode forward and said:

"Whether you listen to the paper or not, this is the truth and it is irrefutable!"

"The Han Dynasty has reached its end, and there is no way to save the situation!"

Without waiting for the two to refute, Qin Zhen said leisurely:
"But it's not the Liu family that has run out of luck, but the old system of the Han Dynasty that has been passed down for 400 years!"

"As the saying goes, the Han dynasty inherited the Qin system. The Han dynasty lasted for 400 years, and its virtues were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But today, the only question is whether the people support it or not."

"Think about it, the Han Dynasty lasted only 400 years, while the Zhou Dynasty lasted 800 years. After the Zhou Dynasty fell, Confucius also hoped to restore the Zhou rituals, which shows that the Zhou Dynasty was more popular than the Han Dynasty."

"But in the end, the princes rose up and the Warring States period was in chaos."

"How similar is it today?"

"In the past four hundred years, aristocratic families have emerged, land annexation has become serious, and local tyrants have emerged."

"How similar is the situation today to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"

"The reason can be summed up in one sentence: the general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division!"

"Why divide it? Because its system is unpopular. It must be reformed before it can be united again!"

Having said this, he looked at the two of them and smiled:

"You two are both talented people of the country, and you are both dedicated to supporting the Han Dynasty and correcting the chaos in the world."

"Then I would like to ask you two, who in this world has the heart to reform the system?"

"Is it Cao Gong?"

He looked at Xun Yu and smiled:

"Wen Ruo just hopes that Cao Gong will wipe out the princes and return power to the emperor, but by then the world has been settled and the forces of all parties are in chaos. How can he reform it?"

"If Cao Gong wants to reform the system, he must start from now on and overthrow the old system of the current court. It's a pity that Cao Gong has the ability but not the heart to do it!"

"Is it Liu Xuande?"

He looked at Xu Shu again and said with a smile:
"There is a saying in the Han Dynasty that the laws of our ancestors cannot be violated. As a relative of the Han Dynasty, does Liu Bei have the heart and courage to change the laws of our ancestors?"

After looking at the two of them, Qin Zhen smiled calmly and said;

“So, if no one reforms the system, even if you two really help the wise ruler to dominate the world, the world will fall apart again in a few decades.”

"By then, you and I will be dead, and the Han Dynasty will be in ruins. If foreign races take advantage of the situation to invade, how will our descendants resist?"

"As wise men, have you ever thought about this situation?"

After he finished saying this, both of them were speechless. Looking at Qin Zhen's handsome face, their hearts were filled with waves.

Their eyes only saw the current situation.

But Qin Zhen has seen through the essence of the matter and foresaw the situation a hundred years later!
What is a pattern? This is called a pattern!

Compared with Qin Zhen's vision, the matter they were arguing about was not a small matter at all!
