The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xun Zhen's question was not very direct, but Xian Yuyin, Yan Zhi, and Wei Dun could all hear what he meant. What Xunzhen asked was, since Gongsun Zan's defeat was not far away, then Xian Yu's defeat was not far away. Yin and the others can see this, and Yuan Shao can definitely see this, so Yuan Shao probably has no plans for this. Is he already making persistent efforts to completely annihilate Gongsun Zan?

Although Xun Zhen is very concerned about Yuan Shao's movements, in the final analysis, Xun Zhen and Yuan Shao are on guard against each other, Yuan Shao will be quite wary of Xun Zhen's side, because Xun Zhen wants to know Yuan Shao exactly The movement over there is not very easy, but when you look at Youzhou and Jizhou, Youzhou and Jizhou are bordering; both, Yuan Shao has troops stationed in the area bordering Youzhou, and they can still be regarded as "allies". , then Xian Yuyin and others had a better understanding of Yuan Shao’s movements than Xun Zhen, and Xian Yuyin and others had just passed through the whole of Jizhou to Xu County, so on the way, they It is also possible to learn about the recent situation of Yuan Shao's department.

Therefore, Xun Zhennai would have this question for Xian Yuyin and others.

Xian Yuyin understood Xunzhen's intention and replied: "In reply to Duke Ming's words, after the coalition forces of Youzhou and Yuan Benchu ​​defeated Gongsun Zan, Yuan Benchu ​​once transferred his main force from the front line, - Qu Yizhi. It was later defeated by Gongsun Zan. One of the reasons was that after the main force was transferred by Yuan Benchu, he was insufficient in troops, but after Quyi was innocently killed by Yuan Benchu, in the past two months, Yuan Benchu ​​continued to fight again and again. A few troops and horses were transferred back to the north of Hebei. When the inferiors set off from Youzhou and traveled to and from the DPRK, Yuan Benchu's troops in the north of Hebei and the south of Youzhou had been enriched to about 10,000 cavalry, including Yan Liang, Qiao Zhao and other generals led the Han and Hu camps. On the way to Xu County and passing Ye County, I had an audience with Yuan Benchu ​​and stayed in Ye County for a few days; According to Guo Tuzhi, Yuan Benchu ​​seems to intend to wait until next spring before sending troops north to the south of Yi County..."

Xun Zhen asked, "Send troops north to the south of Yi County?"

"Exactly."

Xun Zhen said with concern: "Have you heard what generals and troops he plans to send?"

"I have heard from the lower class that Yuan Benchu ​​has adopted Guo Tu's suggestion for the re-sending troops, and its leader is to be appointed by Chunyu Qiong, and the rest of the other generals should be Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and others. The total number of troops and horses is about 20,000."

Xun Zhen said: "There are already 10,000 troops in northern Hebei, and another 20,000 troops will go there... Yuan Benchu ​​wants to?"

"If Duke Ming's words are heard in the lower ranks, it is true that Yuan Benchu ​​is preparing to launch a general attack on Gongsun Zan and start a decisive battle."

In front of Xun Zhen, Xian Yuyin and others, Liu Bei said that Gongsun Zan was "faint and violent", and although he did see that Gongsun Zan could not be successful, he and Gongsun Zan had studied under Lu Zhi's school in the early years. During this experience, Gongsun Zan treated him very well at that time. He treated him as a brother. After listening to Xian Yuyin's words, out of his old feelings for Gongsun Zan, he subconsciously clenched his hand and couldn't help but interjected: "Yuan Benchu ​​is going to launch a general attack on Gongsun Bogui?"

Xian Yuyin turned his eyes to Liu Bei and said, "It's like what I've heard in Ye County, but after the spring of next year, will Yuan Benchu ​​really send Chunyu Qiong's army north to fight Gongsun Zan decisively? It's not that I can wait until now to know."

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "What, Xuande? Are you worried about Gongsun Bogui?"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Gongsun Bogui is arrogant and arrogant. He has committed a lot of mistakes in Youzhou, and he has done a lot of evil things. In particular, he killed Liu Youzhou without authorization, which is a great crime! But Duke Ming, he and Bei In the past, when I was studying under Duke Lu, I took care of Bei Shi in every possible way, and until now, I still have deep feelings for it. As Xian Yu Jun Shicai's analysis, Bo Gui is now at the end of the day, and his people are separated. Yuan Benchu ​​next year If Guo Guo attacked him in the spring, the defeat of Bo Gui is already visible! The old friendship seems to be still in front of you, but you can't feel it!"

In the voice of the speech, it is full of true feelings that "the public is a big sin, and the private is the old feeling", which is touching.

People who value love and righteousness are liked by everyone, Xian Yuyin and others all sigh because of these words.

Xun Zhen said: "Qing is a man of righteousness, because I have feelings, I can understand. However, looking at Gongsun Bogui's past actions, the reason why he is today is also due to his own mistakes! Xuande, you know Where are his mistakes?"

In Xun Zhen's current status, he rarely makes an evaluation of a certain person, but once he makes an evaluation, then the evaluation will be very influential. Hearing his words, Liu Bei, Xian Yuyin and others all cheered up.

Liu Bei asked solemnly, "Dare to ask Duke Ming, where did Gongsun Bogui go wrong?"

"When Gongsun Bogui was at its strongest, not to mention Liu Youzhou, even Yuan Benchu ​​had to give in by three points. In the second year of Chuping, 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans entered the Bohai Sea and wanted to go southwest to join with Montenegro. 20,000 cavalry, counterattack at Dongguangnan, two victories successively, beheading tens of thousands, more than 70,000 births, tens of thousands of carriages, armour and possessions are impossible to win... I was still in Xuzhou at that time. , When the news came to me, I was also amazed. With this great victory, if Gongsun Bogui can act cautiously and manage his life well, he will not be said to be in the secluded, Ji, or at least not lose one of the princes. The prosperity is also booming, and the death is also sudden. It has only been three or four years since Chuping two years ago, but now he has fallen into a situation where he is trapped in Yixian County and is about to collapse. The reason for this is that he is mistaken in the second. "

Liu Bei and the others all listened intently.

Seeing Xun Zhen's words coming to this point, he paused for a while, and Xun Yu asked at the right time, "Dare to ask, brother, why are you two wrong?"

Xun Zhen picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of the soup, and then said: "Liu Yu is the imperial clan of the Han family, and he served as Zongzheng. He is not only the heart of the clan, but also has a moral reputation in the sea. Gongsun Bogui is in charge of the military and political powers in Youzhou, and Gongsun Bogui is controlled by him. At this time, if Gongsun Bogui wants to achieve a career, he should first be in harmony with Liu Yu. If the two of them can be of one mind With the body of Liu Yu's clan, the virtue of Liu Yu, and the bravery of Gongsun Bogui, why should his career fail to succeed? First, he was in charge of Beihu, followed by Anzhou, and returned to Yuan Benchu ​​to usurp Jizhou. Why should Yuan Benchu ​​fight when he rides south? You and Ji can be settled! However, Gongsun Bogui and Liu Yu can't get along. Wouldn't this not only cause the people of Youzhou to suffer because of him, but also give Yuan Benchu ​​a chance?"

Liu Bei stroked his smooth chin, thought and said: "What Duke Ming said is true, but the reason why Gongsun Bogui and Liu Youzhou can't get along is mainly because of their different attitudes towards Beihu. Liu Youzhou wants to appease Beihu. , Gongsun Zan will definitely want to attack him with an army, and the two of them have different opinions on this point, so how can they be compatible with each other?"

Xun Zhen said, "This is the second mistake of Gongsun Bogui."

Liu Bei said: "What is the meaning of Duke Ming's words, Bei dare to hear the details."

Xun Zhen said: "Although Gongsun Bogui made his fortune by defending the border and suppressing Hu in his early years, but at that time, at this time, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the sea was swept away, and the intrusion of the Hu people in the borderlands into Youzhou was more difficult than that. The great changes that have taken place in the world are already a disease of mange, which is not enough to mention. A wise person should constantly change and adjust the corresponding strategies according to the changes of the times. That's right. But Gongsun Bogui, under the circumstance that the world situation has changed, still regards the Hu people as enemies and refuses to change his attitude slightly, but because of this, he broke up with Liu Yu. If he can change at any time and change his previous attitude towards Beihu, please imagine what the result will be. Not only will he not lose peace with Liu Yu, but he will also be able to win the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes. Riding for the purpose, wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone, the best of both worlds?”

To use the arguments of later generations "On Contradiction", the meaning of Xun Zhen's call is very simple, that is, when Gongsun Zan was guarding the border in the early years, the intrusion of the Hu people into Youzhou was a major contradiction in Youzhou, but after the Yellow Turban Revolt, There is turmoil at home and a lot of heroes are rising. At this time, the harassment of the people of Youzhou by the frontier Hu people has ceased to be the main contradiction, but has become a secondary contradiction.

A truly wise man should change his strategy and stop chasing and beating the Hu people. Instead, like Liu Yu, he should adopt a strategy of appeasing the Hu people, so as to stabilize the situation in Youzhou as soon as possible. Taking this opportunity to get the help of Hu Qi, and then go south to Jizhou, or watch the changes in the world, wait for a favorable opportunity, and make plans, is the best policy.

However, because of his hatred for the Hu people, Gongsun Zan was resolutely unwilling to make changes, so he had a fierce conflict with Liu Yu, which eventually led to the two people fighting each other, which also led him to his current state.

——Of course, the conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu cannot be summed up only by the difference in attitude towards the Hu people. There are also other reasons. For example, Liu Yu may want to use the Hu people to check and balance Gongsun Zan, but in any case, Gongsun Zan failed to resolve this conflict with Liu Yu well, or said at a higher level that he failed to properly handle the relationship with Liu Yu, as Xun Zhen commented. In other words, you don't know the whole thing.

Xian Yuyin and others all agreed with Gongsun Zan's two "self-mistakes" pointed out by Xun Zhen.

Xian Yuyin said with admiration: "Duke Ming is thousands of miles away, and watching the affairs of Youzhou is like watching the lines of the palm. Gongsun Zan is indeed brave and resourceful. If he can have the knowledge of Duke Ming, Xiken and Liu Youzhou will be of the same mind. If we cooperate, there will be no future chaos in Youzhou, and Jizhou..."

Having said that, Xian Yuyin closed his mouth and did not speak any further.

Although he didn't say anything, how could Xun Zhen, Xun Yu, Liu Bei, and Jian Yong not be able to hear what he wanted to say? It is nothing more than "and Jizhou will not now be under the control of Yuan Benchu".

First, Xun Zhen and Xun Yu agreed that Qu Yi was "killed innocently", and now there is another half sentence that has not been said, although Xun Zhen has never asked them at all since she met Xian Yu Yin and the three of them until now. , What are their true views on Yuan Shao, their Youzhou ally of "crusade against Gongsun Zan", but the attitude of Xian Yuyin and others towards Yuan Shao has been clearly understood by now.

After speaking with Xian Yuyin and others, Xun Zhen said what could be said to be the most important sentence in "Today's meeting with Xian Yuyin and the three of them".

He said: "Liu He did not give up the long and difficult journey, and he was sent out of Shi Youzhou according to the decree, and his loyalty was obvious, and his father Liu Yu loved the people, but he was killed by Gongsun Zan. After being unfortunately killed by Gongsun Zan, Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, Jun and others raised the righteous soldiers to fight against Zan's rebellion. Their loyalty can be learned from. I have been interested for a long time. Wei. You and the others came from Youzhou, and you know the hearts and minds of the people of Youzhou, but you don’t know what the imperial court and I have in mind. Can it be in line with the expectations of the people of Youzhou?”

Xian Yuyin, Yan Zhi, and Odun looked at each other.

They came to the DPRK for two important purposes this time, one of the two purposes was to obtain a formal imperial appointment for Liu He, Yan Rou, and Xian Yufu. But before they could test Xun Zhen's intentions, Xun Zhen took the initiative to say that he would give Liu He and others a formal appointment, which was really overjoyed. The three of them stood up in unison, went down to the hall, and said, "How dare the people of the state refuse to obey the will of the imperial court and Duke Ming!"

Liu He, Xian Yufu, and Yan Rou were awarded the titles of Youzhou Governor, Zuo Duliao General, and Huwuwan Commander respectively, which not only gave him an acknowledgement of their current status in Youzhou, but also gave them The three divided the scope of their respective powers.

Needless to say, the prefect of Youzhou has the power to supervise the county magistrates, mainly in terms of political status and power.

Huwuwan Colonel is a post responsible for border defense and affairs of Wuhuan, Xianbei and other Hu ministries. This position is a military post and is also a political officer. As long as it is related to Wuhuan, Xianbei and other Hu affairs, it belongs to of control. When Xian Yufu and others supported Yan Rou to go to the army, they made a statement to the court and expressed that Yan Rou was the guardian of Karasuma Sima. Now if Yan Rou was appointed as the captain of the guardian of Karasuma, it could be regarded as an additional acknowledgement of their previous statement.

General Du Liao and Colonel Houramaru were collectively called the Second Battalion, and was also an official in charge of frontier defense and affairs of the Hu people. General Du Liao was originally stationed in Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, and there was no distinction between left and right. Now Xian Yufu is the general Zuo Duliao. For one, he imitated Emperor Ling, who used to ride a chariot. The generals are divided into left and right, and they are distributed to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Another, the current map is different from that of later generations. It is not left west and right east, but left east and right west. Youzhou is in the east of Bingzhou, add a " "Left" is in the front, also to make a difference with General Duliao's headquarters in Wuyuan County.

Colonel Hu Wumaru and General Zuo Duliao, these two positions, compared to the governor of Youzhou, were to divide the military power of Youzhou equally between Yan Rou and Xian Yufu. If the two were compared again, Xian Yufu seemed to have a higher status than Yan Rou, the captain was two thousand stones, and the general was two thousand stones—but he was also a "General Zuo Liao", which was half the degree. General Liao, from this point of view, seems to be similar to Yan Rou. The choice of a single official title is quite subtle. But no need to say much.

Xun Zhen went on to say: "In addition, if the news you heard in Ye County is conclusive and there is no doubt that Yuan Benchu ​​will indeed use a large number of troops after the spring of next year, and looking at the situation now, Gongsun Zan will undoubtedly lose, then after this war, you will have no doubts. I fear it will be shaken. The world has been chaotic for years, and there are not one out of ten people. The sage is very sorry for this, in order to prevent You, Ji, and especially the people of Youzhou from being devastated by military disasters…” Xun Zhen paused for a while. , looked at Xianyu Yin, Yan Zhi, Wei Dun, stroked his short beard, and said, "I intend to order Zhao Yun and Tian Kai to settle in Pingyuan County in advance, so as to echo Guizhou from a distance, help you to stabilize the state, and you will be safe. Can you wait?"

The words are still tactful, but Yan Rou and others can still understand the meaning of the words.

Why Liu Xie felt sorry for the people, and why he wanted to prevent the people of Youzhou from being devastated by the military disaster, these are not true words. The real purpose of Xun Zhentiao's Zhao Yun, Tian Kai and other ministries entering Pingyuan County was obviously to prevent Yuan Shao from entering Youzhou after Gongsun Zan's army was defeated and destroyed.

Xian Yuyin and others are also worried about this. When fighting Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao was an ally, but after fighting Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao is a strong enemy. Although they are still allies with Yuan Shao now, how can they be willing to give up their own interests in the future? Yuan Shao to occupy Youzhou? Originally he was reluctant, and now that he has been granted by Xun Zhen, the "Prefect of Youzhou" and other officials, it is natural that he will not be reluctant.

In fact, another important purpose of their visit to the DPRK this time was to hope that Xun Zhen could help them fight against Yuan Shao.

——These two purposes of theirs are closely related to Xun Zhen, so they only came to Xu County yesterday, and they came to see Xun Zhen today.

The first wish, Xun Zhen had just fulfilled them, followed closely, the second wish was not required by them, Xun Zhen fulfilled it again, hearing Xun Zhen's words, the three were even more overjoyed, and again. Bow down.

Xian Yuyin said: "The Holy One has mercy on the people of Bizhou, which is a blessing for the people of Bizhou! I will only obey the orders of the public."

Xianyu Yinsan was satisfied and determined that Youzhou could be used for himself, and Xun Zhen was also very satisfied.

He smiled and said, "Please wait, please."

At this point in the narrative, the questions to be asked and the serious things that should be said have basically been finished.

Further down, they turned to chatting, talking about the customs of Youzhou, Liu Bei and Jian Yong no longer listened much, but also spoke.

Both of them have not returned to their hometowns for many years~www.wuxiaspot.com~ When it comes to the hometowns in their memory, they sometimes have a sense of recollection.

Xian Yuyin and others occasionally mentioned some interesting local interesting stories, Xun Zhen and Xun Yu either praised or laughed.

It's a lot of fun, and it's been a long time.

Nearly noon, Xian Yuyin, Yan Zhi, and Wei Dun resigned.

Xun Zhen knew that they were going to make preparations for entering the palace to see Liu Xie, so she didn't stay too much. Just like when she welcomed them, she personally sent them out of the hall.

After leaving the hall, passing the yard, exiting through the gate of the house, and on the Lizhong Road outside, Yan Zhi paused a little and looked back.

Xianyu Yin and Otsuka saw the thoughtful look on his face.

Wei Dun asked him and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Yan Zhi sighed sincerely: "Today I pay homage to Duke Xun. When I first saw him, it was like sitting in the spring breeze, but I didn't realize that the breath was taken away! Duke Xun's measure is unfathomable, his talent is like a dragon in the clouds, and the head and tail are not visible. An immortal hero."

Xian Yu Yin and Ou Dun have the same feeling.

Wei Dun said with emotion: "Now that Duke Xun is in power, there is hope for the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty!"

The three of them boarded the car and went back to the post house.

But in the hall, Jian Yong had also resigned, and Liu Bei had not left, he hesitated, as if he had something to say to Xun Zhen.
