The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

??

The scout Fang Li, who was sent to check on Dong's movement near Hanoi, was ordered to go west to Yangcheng, and Lun's Le Jin had just led his troops out, when someone from Yangcheng suddenly came to report.

​

The person here is the county registrar of Yangcheng County.

​

He didn't come to Xun Zhen, but to Sun Jian.

​

Anyway, Sun Jian is now the prefect of Yingchuan, so if there is something going on in the county, the county officials must first come to Sun Jian to report. He went to Sun Jian's army camp first, and when he heard that Sun Jian was in Xun Zhen's tent, he came to Xun Zhen's camp again.

​

Sun Jian and Xun Zhen glanced at each other, and both of them thought in unison, "The chief clerk of Yangcheng suddenly came to ask to see him. Could it be that Dong Jun from Luyuanguan is attacking?"

​

Sun Jian said, "Call him in quickly."

​

The head of Yangcheng entered the tent, sweating on his head, and the official clothes he was wearing were soaked with sweat. His face was dusty, with sweat and dust on his face. At first glance, it was Yangzhai who had just arrived from Yangcheng, and there was no time to rest. , and hurried to ask to see him.

​

When Xun Zhen and Sun Jian saw him like this, their hearts jumped, and they even thought that Dong Jun might be attacking Yangcheng.

​

However, Xun Zhen was a little suspicious, and he said: "I just received a report that Dong Jun has left Luyuan Pass, and Luyuan Pass is dozens of miles away from Yangcheng, even cavalry, it is impossible to attack so fast. "

​

Sun Jian asked, "What's the urgency? Make you in such a hurry?"

​

The head of Yangcheng bowed down and saluted, and immediately got up and replied, "Fujun, general, Duke Yin of the Shaofu has arrived in Yangcheng."

​

"Master Yin of the Shaofu?"

​

This is referring to the yin xiu who used to be the prefect of Yingchuan and the chief official of Xun Zhen. Yin Xiu served as the prefect of Yingchuan for several years, and was later conscripted into the imperial court. When Xun Zhen was the prefect of Wei County, Yin Xiu helped him a little in the court.

​

Yangcheng's forehead was dripping with sweat, and his eyes were fascinated by the burning pain. He wiped his forehead and the corners of his eyes to wipe off the sweat. Then he forced his eyes to open and replied to Sun Jian, "Exactly. Sent by the imperial court, he made a special trip to see the lord and the general."

​

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian looked at each other again, and they both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Dong Jun was not rushing to attack, but Yin Xiu suddenly arrived for no reason, and they both saw surprise and strangeness in each other's eyes.

​

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "'Sent by the imperial court'? Where is the imperial court today! Duke Yin should have been sent by Dong Zhuo. ... Dong Zhuo mobilized the army and was about to attack, but suddenly he sent important officials from the imperial court here. Seeing me and Wentai, but for what reason?" The reason is not difficult to guess, Xun Zhen immediately thought of it, and he said to himself, "Yes, 'the ceremony comes first, then the soldiers', this must be for 'to persuade to surrender'."

​

Sun Jian also thought of this, and he asked the clerk of Yangcheng: "Where is Duke Yin now?"

​

"I originally wanted to invite him to stay in Yangcheng for a while, and then invite him to the prefecture after the servants reported to the lord and the general, but Duke Yin didn't want to wait, saying that because he was a heavy commission from the imperial court, he couldn't wait for a long time. Therefore, I came to Yangzhai with the subordinate officials."

​

"Have you arrived in Yangzhai?"

​

"In order to enable the ruler and the general to know this matter early, when there were still twenty li from Yangzhai, the subordinates temporarily bid farewell to Duke Yin, abandoned the carriage and rode on the horse, galloped first, and Duke Yin rode slowly behind in the carriage, and now left The county should have about ten miles left."

​

"Okay, you've done a good job of this. Seeing that you're sweating profusely, let's go and rest first."

​

Yangcheng's chief clerk agreed, wiped the sweat from his face again, bowed respectfully, and exited the account.

​

After he went out, Sun Jian turned to Xun Zhen and smiled and said, "Zhenzhi, guess what is the reason for the visit of the Yin Shaofu? He didn't say hello in advance, and he didn't say a 'decree'. He regarded your honor as the honor of Jiu Qing, It came like this all of a sudden... Zhenzhi, what do you mean by that?"

​

"You shouldn't ask him what he means, you should ask Dong Zhuo what he means."

​

"Haha. From what I expected, he must have come to 'persuade surrender'."

​

"I think so."

​

"Then shall we see him or not?"

​

"Yin Gong used to be my chief officer in the past, and now he is the nine ministers of the imperial court. Since he is here, you and I must not see him."

​

"Oh, yes! When he was the prefect of Yingchuan, you used to be the postal supervisor of the county."

​

"good."

​

"Then let's meet?"

​

"Since we want to meet, you and I should go out to greet you."

​

"That's right, he is the ninth minister of the dynasty, with a distinguished status, you and I should welcome him from afar."

​

With a few words, Sun Jian and Xun Zhen decided to see Yin Xiu or not, and decided not only to see each other, but also to go out to meet them. The two smiled at Gu and walked out hand in hand, summoning a guard of honor, bringing Xi Zhicai and Xun You along with them. , Xun Yu, Wu Jing, Sun Ben and others went out of the camp to greet him.

​

About four or five miles outside the county, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian caught Yin Xiu's car.

​

According to the imperial system, when Jiuqing travels, he must have a corresponding vehicle and uniform. Looking at it from a distance, the leading and following vehicles are quite prosperous. The cars of Xun Zhen and Sun Jian stopped at the front of the queue, and they sent people over to report, and they got off at the side of the road and waited.

​

Not long after, a few people came out of the guard of honor from the cars that stopped on the opposite side.

​

Xun Zhen looked at it, and the one in the middle was Yin Xiu.

​

Compared to when he was in Yingchuan, Yin Xiu was much older and thinner. His hair was sparse, and he was not walking fast, but he was still in good spirits. Accompanied by two subordinate officials, he went to Xun Zhen and Sun Jian. Come.

​

Xun Zhen hurried up to meet him, bowed down and saluted, and said in his mouth, "Northern Governor Xun Zhen pays a visit to the manor."

​

But this is commensurate with each other's official positions in the old days.

​

Yin Xiu smiled, lifted him up, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Zhenzhi! In the past, the county said that you were a milk tiger in Yingchuan. At that time, I knew that you would be famous in the future and your achievements would be limitless. Today That's true, it's true!"

​

"If Wu Gong hadn't used his virginity to be blunt and thick to promote him back then, there would be no virginity today."

​

"You and I met for the first time. I remember it was in Xixiang. The white horses passed by, and the years passed. It was ten years ago."

​

"I'm here to introduce to you. This is the Marquis of Wucheng, the prefect of Yingchuan, and Sun Wentai, the general who fought against rebellion."

​

"Wentai, I've seen it before." Yin Xiu rolled his eyes, looked at Sun Jian again, and said, "Compared to the past, Sun Hou is more energetic."

​

Sun Jian stayed in Luoyang for a long time. When he was in Luoyang, he met Yin Xiu.

​

He also bowed down and said, "In the past, we parted ways in Luoyang, but I don't want to see you here again today."

​

Yin Xiu sighed and said, "I'm an old man. To be honest, I didn't expect to see Marquis Sun again."

​

Sun Jian asked, "I heard that the Duke came to Bi County today, because of the imperial decree?"

​

Yin Xiu subconsciously glanced at the two young officials who were following him, smiled wryly, and said, "Of course, that's right."

​

Sun Jian turned his head and summoned Wu Jing and Sun Ben who were standing not far away. When they arrived, he pointed to the two subordinate officials on the left and right of Yin Xiu, and ordered, "Pull it aside and cut it off. ."

​

Sun Jian's words had no beginning or end, and there was no warning. The two subordinate officials had not recovered, and had been dragged by Wu Jing and Sun Ben to the side of the road until they were forced to kneel on the ground. Only then did the two of them react and saw Wu Jing and Sun Ben draw their swords, their faces were pale, and they shouted: "Sun Hou! Two, save us both!"

​

Yin Xiu was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Marquis Sun, what are you doing?"

​

"If I don't think it's bad, these two should be Dong Zhuo's subordinates, right?"

​

"……,Yes."

​

Although Sun Jian was ferocious, he was not careless. Many times, he was also a careful person who could observe words and expressions. Just from Yin Xiu's "subconscious" action just now, he guessed that the two subordinate officials on Yin Xiu's left and right must be Dong Zhuo. The person who was sent to monitor Yin Xiu heard Yin Xiu's admission at this time. He smiled and said, "That's not it." After speaking, he made a gesture to Wu Jing and Sun Ben, and waved his hand down.

​

Wu Jing and Sun Ben over there raised their swords and slashed down, screamed twice, and one fell to the ground. The reason why "one head fell to the ground" was because the two Wu Jing used swords, not knives. It was not suitable for beheading, and Sun Ben had never chopped off a human head, so the man Wu Jing attacked had his head chopped off, but the person who Sun Ben attacked only had his neck cut off.

​

Sun Ben wanted to pull out the sword and cut it again, but the blade was caught by the man's neck bone, and he was unable to pull it out after pulling it twice. He wiped a hand on his face and said to Wu Jing, "Borrow a sword and use it." He borrowed the sword from Wu Jing, chopped it again, and chopped it twice before killing the official. His head was chopped off, and he fell to the side of the road.

​

This **** and cruel scene made the people who followed Yin Xiu were all horrified, some were timid and even fell to the ground with their legs limp.

​

Yin Xiu had seen a big scene anyway, but it wasn't as bad as "sit down with soft legs", but his face turned pale. He trembled and said, "This, this.... Marquis Sun, why is this?"

​

"The reason why Zhen and I are raising the righteous soldiers, leaving this county and joining forces in Yingchuan, is to get rid of the national thieves! Zhen Zhi said: 'Han thieves are incompatible', I deeply agree. Those two are both Dong The thieves are my enemies, and if they kill them, I still don't understand my hatred.... Eunuch Yin, you ask me 'why is this'? I'm surprised, but Eunuch Yin thinks that I shouldn't kill them both? "

​

"This, this, this is not."

​

"Then what else is Duke Yin asking?" Sun Jian raised his eyes to look at Yin Xiu's car-driving crowd~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and asked Yin Xiu, "Who else is Dong Thief's vassal?"

​

Yin repair is in a dilemma.

​

"What? Eunuch Yin doesn't want to say anything?"

​

It's not that Yin Xiu didn't want to say it, it's that Sun Jian couldn't answer this question. If he said no, Sun Jian would definitely not believe it; but if he said yes, then when he returned to the court in the future, he might not be able to escape Dong Zhuo's poisonous hands.

​

Yin Xiu sighed in his heart, "I shouldn't have come this time...but Dong Zhuo is a hero, he runs the imperial court, he is cruel, and even Taifu Yuan was killed by him. Since he wants me to come, how can I not come? ?"

​

When Sun Jian asked Wu Jing and Sun Ben to kill him, Xun Zhen didn't say anything. He knew that Sun Jian was trying to give Yin Xiu Mawei, and his intention was to prevent Yin Xiu from persuading him to surrender. Forced to ask Yin Xiu, he knew that it was time to speak.

​

He bowed to Yin and said, "Duke Yin, moved westward by car to Chang'an, and now Luoyang is in ruins. Since the prince is going to court now, and he sees it as chaste, then don't go back."
