Han Dao world

Compared with Li Ying and others, Yuan Shao, who regarded himself as Li Ying's heir, didn't even have the courage to fight, let alone face life and death, and fled in a hurry.

And these party members who hold heavy soldiers in their hands and usually think that the world is in my hands hold their breath in front of Dong Zhuo.Dong Zhuo gave up the military power of the Northern Army and rushed to Jingzhou.

Is the Northern Army incompetent, or the party members incompetent?

If it's the latter, then even if Dong Zhuo didn't mess with the government and Yuan Shao controlled the court, would the result be good?

In fact, there is no need to guess, the result is in front of you.

Suddenly, Liu Biao became extremely depressed.He held the wine glass tightly, clenched his teeth, and his face was pale.

"Jun Rong means that the collapse of the situation is not due to Dong Zhuo and Li Jue's generation, but to our scholar-bureaucrats?" Liu Biao raised his head and stared at Shi Sun Rui. "Then should I be the same as at the beginning, and go to Shu to plead guilty?"

"You are different from the original. He did it on purpose, but he went his own way and crossed the bottom line. You, it is an unintentional mistake, and there is still a chance to correct it."

Shi Sun Rui drank the wine in his glass. "Lu, I told you. How to choose is your own business."

Chapter 833

Liu Biao had mixed feelings.

Fortunately, Shi Sunrui said clearly that the emperor has no possibility of treating him like Yuan Shao.He doesn't have to worry about being ruined like Yuan Shao and leaving a bad reputation in history.

The worry is that he also has to reflect, not as an individual, but as a member of the scholar-officials.

As one of the Eight Talents and a member of the clan, he is by no means an ordinary scholar-bureaucrat, but a very representative scholar-bureaucrat.If he can reflect on the gains and losses of scholar-bureaucrats, it will have an incalculable impact.

How to reflect on it became a problem he had to consider.

Shi Sun Rui couldn't give him the answer, and others couldn't help him, so he had to do it himself.

If this task is not completed, the emperor will not forgive him.

Liu Biao had a headache.

-

Just when Liu Biao was racking his brains and thinking about how to reflect on himself, Yuan Shao left Luoyang.

After all, he couldn't see the emperor.

Neither Sun Rui nor Liu Biao went to see him off.

Shi Sun Rui sent someone to send a letter to Yuan Tan, asking Yuan Tan to send Yuan Shao back home first.If Yuan Shao recovered, Yuan Tan would rush back to Luoyang and serve as a general in his army.If Yuan Shao dies unfortunately, we can only wait, at least after Yuan Shao is buried.

But Yuan Tan doesn't have to worry, even after three years, he can still give Yuan Tan a chance.

After receiving the letter from Shi Sun Rui, Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief.

With Shi Sunrui's promise, his future finally has hope again.

After discussing with Xun Chen and Guo Tu, in order to ensure everything was safe, Guo Tu decided to send Yuan Shao back to his hometown with Yuan Tan. prepare.

Of course, it would be the best if Yuan Shao can recover.

Not long after leaving Ping Optimism, Yuan Shao, who had been lying in the car, woke up suddenly, called Yuan Tan to the side of the car, and asked him where he was going.

Yuan Tan hesitated, not daring to answer.

Guo Tu waved his hand, signaling Yuan Tan to go away.He said softly: "Master, let's go back to Ruyang."

"Back to Ruyang?" Yuan Shao was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Can the ghost agree?"

"With Mrs. Yuan coming forward, there will be no problem," Guo Tu said.

So far, he has not told Yuan Shao about the crime.Yuan Shao should be able to guess some, but it is impossible to guess what was written in the book of pleading guilty.

The two sides kept a tacit understanding, one didn't say anything, and the other didn't ask.

Yuan Shao was silent for a long time, then said softly, "Go to the old house, I want to see it."

Guo Tu was stunned for a moment before he realized it. "Is it an old house in Luoyang City?"

Yuan Shao nodded and closed his eyes.

Guo Tu blinked, closed the curtain, and turned to discuss with Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan frowned, wondering why Yuan Shao insisted on going to the old house in Luoyang City to take a look.As early as when Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the old house in Luoyang was burned down, and now there is only a ruined wall. What is there to see?

Considering that Yuan Shao was dying and that he might never have the chance to come to Luoyang again after returning to Ruyang this time, Yuan Tan finally agreed.

The carriage changed direction and entered Luoyang City.

It was desolate, and there were almost no people in sight, but from time to time, foxes and mice appeared on the fire-stained walls and even on the road, looking at Yuan Tan and his party in a grandiose manner.

Yuan Tan sadly came from it.

He thought of the prosperity of Luoyang when he was a child, the pleasure of riding horses on the streets with Yuan Shu, and the bustle of the guests when he grew up. Now everything has become a phantom, and only the ruins in front of him are left.

Whose fault is this?

No matter whose fault it was before, Yuan Shao became one of the sinners after having that apology.

He burned Luoyang City earlier than Dong Zhuo, and he burned the imperial palace.

-

The carriage passed through half of Luoyang City and stopped in front of Yuan's old house.

As one of the four generations and three princes, the Yuan family's mansion in Luoyang was astonishingly large, and the luxury was once comparable to that of the imperial palace.Now all of this has been reduced to ashes, even the Zhuzi gate has been demolished, leaving only the black door frame.

The three gates in front of the gate are still there, but they are incomplete.

The three gates were originally dedicated to the emperor, but in the last years of Xiaoling, they were bewitched by the eunuchs, the government was in chaos, and there were too many things to enumerate.Although it was known that the Yuan family had used three out of the gates, no one reported it.

In fact, on the point of violating the etiquette and law, the scholar-officials and the eunuchs coincided with each other, not to mention that the Yuan family had already crossed the family and the eunuchs, so they were naturally more confident.

Because of this incident, there was a debate within the Yuan family.Yuan Hong and Yuan Hong, the grandsons of Yuan He, felt that doing so was contrary to the virtues of their ancestors, and that they would be ruined.

The car window was opened, Yuan Shao sat up in the car, looked at the ruined old house in front of him, his expression was numb, only two lines of muddy tears welled up and wet his clothes.

Yuan Tan and Guo Tu stood aside, equally depressed.

The doctor who was invited was a little nervous, and he grabbed the medicine box hanging on his waist, ready for first aid at any time.

But Yuan Shao didn't respond, he was neither excited nor sad, he just watched blankly.

Just as Yuan Tan was about to close the car window and start again, a crow suddenly sounded above his head.

Yuan Shao, who was like a puppet, suddenly came to life. He stretched out his hand and pushed Yuan Tan away, half of his body stretched out.

Yuan Tan was also stunned, looked up and found the crow after a long time.

The crow had been standing on the que, but the que had been blackened by the fire, and the crow was also black and motionless, so they didn't notice it.

Under their watchful eyes, the crow croaked twice, spread its wings and flew up, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yuan Shao twisted his neck, looked at the direction where the crow disappeared, narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Gongze, is this Guo Youdao sending me off?"

Guo Tu looked back at Yuan Shao, and said perfunctorily: "It should be so." He thought for a while, and then said: "Could it be the meaning of being with the light?"

"Like light and dust?" Yuan Tan looked at Guo Tu suspiciously.

What does Guo Tu mean by what he said at this time?

Guo Tu blinked, did not explain, but excitedly said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, this must be Guo Youdao. Back then, he once said that he would look forward to Wu Yuanzhi, and now he is here to send you off. It can be seen that he is still as optimistic as ever. You, this is a sign to let you be patient for a while."

Yuan Shao's eyes flickered, but he didn't say a word.

But Guo Tu said again: "My lord, take a good rest and watch the world, there may be a turning point."

Yuan Shao blinked and showed a smile. "Gongze, you are still comforting me at this point, it's really hard work for you."

As he said that, he returned to the car, lay down again, and closed his eyes, but his breathing became much calmer.

Guo Tu closed the car window, gave Yuan Tan a wink, walked aside, and said in a low voice, "Take good care of him. It would be good if he can live another year or so."

Yuan Tan understood and nodded repeatedly.

Even if it is a lie, as long as it can arouse Yuan Shao's hope, it is good to persist for a while.

The Battle of Jizhou is the best opportunity, it would be a pity to miss it.

As long as Yuan Shao is alive, he can return to Luoyang, join Shi Sunrui's command, participate in the battle, accumulate military merits, cross the threshold that seems extremely difficult but must be crossed, and become a general of the court instead of struggling waiting.

Chapter 834 Going Further

Liu Biao was lying on the blanket, his eyes were bloodshot.

On the case in front of him were pens and paper.

The paper is high-quality bamboo paper, pure white in color, with the unique fragrance of bamboo, even the smell of medicine in the room is a little lighter, a little more elegant.

But Liu Biao was in a very bad mood.

After returning from Shisun Rui camp, he just sat like this, thinking hard, but he couldn't find a way of thinking.Most of the ink that had been grinded was dry, and he couldn't write a single word.

There was a soft knock at the door, and Mrs. Chen came in, followed by two maids, one holding a food table and the other carrying a tea set.

Mrs. Chen glanced at the blank paper on the case, sat down by the bed, and waved her hands again.

The maids responded, put down the things in their hands, backed out, and closed the door behind them.

"I just went to see Mrs. Cai." Mrs. Chen stretched out her hand and arranged the papers on the case neatly.

Liu Biao turned his head suspiciously. "Which Mrs. Cai?"

"Cai Degui's sister, Huang Chengyan's wife."

Liu Biao was stunned, "Oh", and then said: "I have wronged you."

When he was in Jingzhou, Cai Mao wanted to marry him, but Mrs. Chen stopped him.Mrs. Chen came from a noble family, and she looked down on merchants like Cai from the bottom of her heart. In addition, Huang Chengyan refused his invitation and refused to enter the curtain. The relationship was a little stiff. Mrs. Chen almost never interacted with Huang Chengyan's wife, Cai.

Now Mrs. Chen took the initiative to visit Mrs. Cai, naturally because he was in a difficult situation, and only Mrs. Cai could help.Mrs. Cai's husband and daughter are master craftsmen who are highly valued by the emperor, and her son-in-law is the confidant in front of the emperor, and his influence is far greater than Pang Tong.

"It's okay, it's a concubine's duty to do something for my husband and Boyu."

Liu Biao sighed. "What did Mrs. Cai say?"

"Madame Cai said that according to what she has seen and heard, the emperor's attitude towards Confucianism has never been confrontation, but transformation."

Liu Biao frowned slightly. "Reform? How to reform?"

"Take its strengths, make up for its weaknesses, and practice it. Return to the original heart and take love as the foundation."

Liu Biao thought for a while and realized something. "So, the emperor hopes that I can reflect on the mistakes of Confucianism?"

Madam Chen nodded. "The emperor suffered from the change of the two capitals. He was alone, and he still valued family ties. Therefore, Liu Bei was able to restore his clan in Pengcheng. Liu He and Liu Ye were close, and the other was in the frontier. Your husband is famous all over the world. If you can help the emperor, the emperor How can it not be used?"

Liu Biao let out a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

He has always had such an idea, but he is not sure. With the information provided by Mrs. Cai, it will be much more reliable.If Shi Sun Rui's reminder is added, he is at least [-]% sure that not only will he escape, but he may even be able to keep the evening festival.

If he were to summarize the gains and losses of Confucianism, his persuasive power would naturally be much stronger than that of Xu Jing, Lai Min and others.

He is not only a great Confucianist with profound knowledge, but also a feudal official in Jingzhou. In terms of the combination of knowledge and practice, no one alive can surpass him.Others can only talk and have no experience in governance, or although they have experience in governance, they are not educated enough.

Even Yang Biao is not as good as him—Yang Biao has always been a Beijing official, and Shi Mei in the local area has little experience.

There were before, such as Huang Wan, such as Wang Yun, but they... all died.

Thinking of Huang Wan and Wang Yun, Liu Biao suddenly became emotional, and he thought of more like-minded people.

Such as Li Ying, such as Chen Fan.

The few words that Shi Sunrui said came to mind again.

What progress have the party members made in the past 20 years?

No, there is no progress at all, on the contrary, it has regressed a lot.

Seeing Liu Biao lost in thought, Mrs. Chen got up quietly and backed out.

-

Yi County.

"Crossbow!" Yuan Shu shouted angrily, throwing the bow in his hand on the ground. "What a broken bow, it's not allowed at all."

Chang Nu on the side quickly delivered the already stretched crossbow, and at the same time picked up Yuan Shu's ornately decorated horn bow and put it in the bow bag.

The bow is a good bow, but Yuan Shu's shooting skills are too bad.
