Han Dao world

Xun Yu raised his eyebrows, then rushed over, took the green pouch from Xun Yun's hand, untied the ribbon, and took out the bamboo slips inside.

The clay seal on the bamboo slips is intact, but there are familiar handwriting on the inscription.

Princess Hongnong asked Xun Jun Wenruo.

Xun Yu heaved a sigh of relief, held the bamboo slips in both hands, and bowed to heaven twice.

A few years ago, the Li Jue Department of the Xiliang Army plundered Yingchuan, and many people were lost. Princess Hongnong was among them.In the past few years, he has been inquiring about the news of Princess Hongnong, but there is no trace of her whereabouts.

He thought Princess Hongnong was dead.

In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs, and countless people died in the ravine, no matter whether you are noble or not.

When he suddenly received a message from her, he was as calm as him, but he couldn't help but lose his composure.

Xun Yu hastily knocked off the mud seal, unfolded the bamboo slips, and began to read in the new grave.

Xun Yun stood aside, not daring to move, secretly looking at Xun Yu's face.

The joy on Xun Yu's face became more and more intense, a smile burst from the corner of his eyes, and finally he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xun Yun was puzzled.

What exactly did Princess Hongnong say in her letter that made her father so happy?

After reading the letter, Xun Yu put away the bamboo slips, turned his head to look at the new graves of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, and bowed in obeisance.

"Meng Zhuo, Meng Gao, let's just say goodbye. When the world is at peace and the emperor returns to Luoyang, I will come to see you again and move your graves back to your hometown."

Xun Yun heard it clearly, and couldn't help but ask, "Ah Weng, are you leaving Cao Mu?"

"The Son of Heaven calls me, how can I not go?" Xun Yu snorted, and strode towards the carriage parked by the roadside.

-

Cao Cao raised his head in surprise, and stared at Xun Yu again and again.

"The emperor... summoned you to go?"

Xun Yu lowered his head slightly, his face had regained his composure. "The son of heaven has to go to the sky to decree, aiming at Zhongxing, and summons me to go."

"But... Yanzhou Chuding, I can't do without Wen Ruo here." Cao Cao leaned back on the table, raised his hands and pinched the center of his brows, with a look of reluctance.

Xun Yu smiled. "Tao Qian is dead, and Lu Bu is running eastward to join forces with Liu Bei. With the majesty of the public, it is like turning back the palm of your hand. Why should you bow down? And the envoy not only holds the imperial seal and ribbon, but also has the position of a tribute. If you don't go, you will be respected. Wouldn't it be a pity to criticize, even to envoy the emperor's loyalty."

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows lightly, pondered for a while, and nodded slightly.

"What Wen Ruo said is also reasonable. The imperial edict cannot be violated. Since the emperor has the ambition of rejuvenation, we as ministers should drive away. Not to mention Wen Ruo, even if it is me, if there is an imperial edict, I should go there and not give up. day and night."

He stood up, walked up to Xun Yu, and held Xun Yu's hands.

"Wen Ruo plans to leave when, I will see you farewell."

Xun Yu also stood up, broke free from Cao Cao's hand calmly, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness. It's just that the current situation is so difficult and you are busy with the military and government, so there is no need to make such an empty gift. I will leave early tomorrow morning. If you don’t bring anyone else, your little son Changqian can accompany you and serve you.”

Cao Cao sighed. "The Son of Heaven has Wen Ruo's assistance, and the great man will be able to thrive. In front of the Son of Heaven, I still hope that Wen Ruo will give you a lot of good words. Yanzhou is broken, and I can't bear the burden."

Xun Yu took a step back, bowed and bowed again, then turned and left.

Cao Cao walked to the door, watched Xun Yu's figure disappear into the distance, and sighed faintly.

Guo Jia walked over from the side, looked at the distance, and then at Cao Cao.

"My lord, if Xun Wen is far away, don't look any further."

Cao Cao turned around and returned to the hall, took his seat again, fiddled with the cutlery on the table, frowned, and pondered for a long time.

"Feng Xiao, is it because of Brother Zhang Mengzhuo?"

Guo Jia sat down beside him. "The way is different, and we don't conspire with each other. If Xun Wen pursues the kingly way, but the kingly way is not available, no matter where he is, it will be difficult for him to get what he wants. When he resigned from Yecheng, today he resigned from the lord, and he will inevitably resign from the emperor in the future."

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and couldn't help laughing out loud.He raised his hand and pointed at Guo Jia, hesitant to speak.

Guo Jia said again: "But the Son of Heaven is recruiting talents from all over the world. I'm afraid Wen Ruo is not the only one who should be recruited. My lord should make some preparations."

Cao Cao nodded, the smile on his face fading.

When Xun Yu asked to resign, he thought of this.

When Xun Yu left, it wasn't just Xun Yu who left, but a large group of people.

Fortunately, Guo Jia will not leave.

"The world belongs to the Liu family. If the emperor wants to recruit talents, who can resist the imperial edict?" Cao Cao said unhurriedly, "However, it is not me who needs to worry most, but Yuan Benchu. Feng Xiao, you say, the emperor defeated Li. After jue, will he return to Chang'an, will he return to Luoyang?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "If Xun Wen travels westward, it is unlikely that the Son of Heaven will return to Luoyang, otherwise he needn't be so anxious."

"Chang'an?"

"Chang'an is Xijing. The mountains and rivers are dangerous and solid. It is a place for hegemony in troubled times. Although Li Jue and Guo Si have been in trouble for several years, ten rooms are empty, but the emperor is here, and the fleeing people will return to the sea like a hundred rivers. It will not take a few years. Rejuvenate."

Guo Jia paused, and then said: "Besides, Chang'an is far away from the battlefield in the Central Plains, so we can avoid facing Yuan Shao directly. My lord, you are between the two Yuans, you have no support behind you, and you are surrounded by enemies on all sides, so you have to be careful."

Cao Cao raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow, frowning. "Can Fengxiao have a plan to solve the problem?"

"My lord, do you think the world will belong to Liu Hu and Yuan Hu?" Guo Jia asked in the same tone as Cao Cao just now.

Cao Cao raised his eyelids, looked at Guo Jia, and laughed dumbfoundedly. "Feng Xiao, where do you start? This world belongs to the Liu family."

"My lord, the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. If this is the will of heaven, even if Yuan Shao is not the destiny of heaven, the great Han Zhongxing is still a flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water is beyond reach. My lord, it is impossible to lose the talents of the world. regulation?"

Cao Cao rolled his eyes and sat up straight. "Feng Xiao thinks that the great man cannot be revived?"

"It's too early to say at this time." Guo Jia smiled slightly. "The minister is just reminding the lord, don't make a choice lightly, so as not to be controlled by others and not free."

Chapter 186 The Way Is Different

Cao Cao remained silent, rolled his eyes back and forth twice, and nodded silently.

Being controlled by others is definitely not the best policy.

Last year when Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, he had nowhere to stand. He planned to bow his head to Yuan Shao and send his family to Yecheng, but Cheng Yu dissuaded him in this way.

Now Guo Jia reminded him with similar words.

These are loyal ministers.

"Fengxiao, Ding Youyang hasn't heard from him for a long time, I'm afraid there may be a change. Will you arrange someone to visit the emperor and inquire about some news?"

Guo Jia agrees.

Zhong Yao, Ding Chong and others who had contacted before had no news.Zhong Ji was in Yanzhou, but when he was sent as an envoy, the emperor had not yet contacted Li Jue, and he also knew nothing about the course of the war.

What happened to Huayin is an urgent question to be clarified.

This important task fell on Guo Jia's shoulders.

After Xun Yu decided to go west, who to send to see the emperor became a question that needed serious consideration.If he has a close relationship with Xun Yu, this person may never return.

Zhong Yao is the most typical example.

If you don't want a similar situation to happen again, you need to choose people carefully.

"Let's send Wang Bi to go." Guo Jia said: "The last time he was sent as an envoy, he performed very well and lived up to his mission."

Cao Cao also thought it was feasible. "Let's send him to send Wen Ruo there. It's a good meeting between the monarch and the ministers."

"Here." Guo Jia bowed to accept the order, got up and said goodbye.

-

After going out, Guo Jia went straight to Xun Yu's residence.

The door was open, and Xun Yu stood in the courtyard, directing Xun Yun to pack his luggage, and at the same time ordered people to prepare chariots and horses.

Guo Jia walked in slowly, and said with a loud smile, "Xun Wenruo, are you going to leave overnight?"

Xun Yu turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and smiled knowingly. "Feng Xiao, I guess it's time for you to come too."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "My lord is very disappointed that you left in such a hurry. I have to go to explain a few words and come to see you again."

Xun Yu nodded in understanding.

He also knew that he was a little hasty and impulsive, which might cause Cao Cao discomfort.

But the words have been spoken, and it is useless to regret.

Fortunately, Guo Jia helped him remedy it.

"Wen Ruo, although the imperial court is orthodox, but the Han Dynasty has lasted for 400 years, and it will be exhausted. No one can say how long it can last. You want to be loyal to the Han Dynasty and act as a gentleman, but the future of the Xun family must also be considered. .Do you want You Ruo to come?"

Xun Yu remained silent.

He understood what Guo Jia meant.

Before the situation is clear, the aristocratic family split up their bets to make sure that there is nothing wrong with it.

But he really didn't have much confidence in Cao Cao, and he didn't want to miss his fourth brother Xun Chen.

"Wen Ruo, Yanzhou is desolate, with ten rooms and nine empties. Zhu Ling's family is still uncertain. I just got the news that Zang Ziyuan (Zang Hong) wanted to avenge Zhang Menggao (Zhang Chao) according to Dongwuyang. Yuan Benchu ​​will soon lead his troops to the south After defeating Wuyang in the east, who can predict whether Yanzhou will be captured by taking advantage of the situation? If Yanzhou returns to Yuan Shao, Yuzhou will surely fall, and Liu Jingsheng echoes him from afar. Yuan Benchu ​​marched into Luoyang, what will happen to the court?"

Xun Yu sized Guo Jia up. "If you have traveled and haven't returned, you don't know where you are. If there is news, I can ask him what he means."

Before Guo Jia could speak, Xun Yu said again: "At the beginning, Yanzhou was destroyed by Lu Bu, and there were only three counties left, and the envoys did not submit to Yuan Benchu. Now that most of Yanzhou has recovered, and there is an imperial edict to worship, the envoys will still Yanzhou surrendered? Even if he was willing, you wouldn't, would you?"

Guo Jia's eyes flickered slightly, a little disappointed.

Xun Yu resolutely refused to let Xun Chen assist Cao Cao, obviously he had no hope for Cao Cao.

Guo Jia did not give up, and persuaded: "Wen Ruo, the king's way can be brought into order, not chaos. The current situation must be overbearing."

Xun Yu sighed, looked around, and led Guo Jia to the hall.

"Following filial piety, a gentleman behaves in the world, does something, and does not do something. If killing people can solve the problem, why use the king? Dong Zhuo can kill people even more. Zhang Mengzhuo was running for the original, why did he turn against him? Because he forced the Korean festival too much. Why did you make the king Lost Yanzhou? Because of killing Bian Yuanli (Bian Rang). Now killing brothers Zhang Mengzhuo, or there is a last resort, how can the family be wiped out?"

Xun Yu spoke excitedly, and his voice gradually became louder.

Guo Jia quickly raised his hand and interrupted Xun Yu. "Wen Ruo, those who have gone are gone, and those who come can be pursued. The lord has regretted it, and will never do it again."

Xun Yu snorted: "I hope so, I can only be assisted by Xiao Xiao."

He thought for a while, and then said: "Zaozhi's strategy can work. If there is food, you can raise troops and calm the people, and Yanzhou can be protected."

-

"Going north to the Taihang Mountains, how difficult is this road..."

"The mountain road is like a sheep's intestines, and the sound of the spring is like a whimper..."

"The day of travel is already high, and the people and horses are hungry..."

"Admonish you not to quit, the emperor is before me..."

The melodious singing echoes in the valley, and a team is winding forward on the winding mountain road, with no end or end in sight.

The flags were flying, and the soldiers led the horses and pushed the carts, and worked hard to move forward.

Every few hundred steps, there are two or three women on the side of the road, most of whom are young and beautiful, with clear voices, beating the beat, singing songs, smiling at the soldiers who pass by, or offering a glass of water , Let the spirits of the soldiers in sweaty shirts be lifted.

Drink a bowl of water, rest for a while, take the opportunity to look at the beauty, and then continue to move forward happily.

"How does this compare to the one just now?"

"It's okay, it looks like it's not from an ordinary family."

"I asked about your figure, who cares about her origin."

"Wearing so much, how can you see your figure? A lowly slave knows how to be greedy for someone's figure."

"And, how elegant do you think you are? You don't know as many words as I do."

"It's not my fault. It's because the teacher didn't teach well. To tell you the truth, I'm going to apply for a new teacher."

"Can you change sir?"

"of course can."

"Who do you want to replace?"

"I want to change Cai Lingshi. I heard that Cai Lingshi is not only knowledgeable, but also very attractive."

"Hey, you deserve it too? You can't be tempted even if you are tempting."

"No, no, it's not the seductive you mentioned, it's because she can teach and is good at seductive. What's her name...what... well, I can't understand what the scholars say, but I understand the word seductive. .”

"...Successful and seductive?"
