Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2606 Sacrifice, do you need it?

   This room is not big.

  From the window of the house to the door, it is seven steps.

   Then from the door to the corner on the other side, it is five steps.

   It is twelve steps from the corner of the wall to the diagonally opposite corner. How big is this room?

  Cai Yu didn't know how big the room was, but he guessed that he might not live long.

   This is not a prison, but a separate courtyard.

  He was in one of the huts.

  Inside the house, it was empty, only bedding made of linen, not even a bed or table.

   Is this because of fear of hitting a corner and dying?

   Cai Yu laughed at himself, no, he is afraid of pain. So if he was to die, it would be best to let someone else stab him, something that would be more straightforward. If he wanted to end himself by himself, he wouldn't be able to do that.

It's just that Xun Yu was still very careful and didn't want to make any mistakes, so he not only arranged for Cai Yu a house that didn't seem to have any suicide tools, but also had guards outside the windows and doors of the house day and night. The guard of the soldiers for twelve hours.

   When he was arrested, he was flustered, but gradually, Cai Yu no longer panicked. It's like when he climbed over the wall to find the little lady next to him, he would be a little flustered, but if he was really blocked and had nowhere to run, then he would go all out...

   When there was still a chance to escape, Cai Yu was full of fear of death, but after knowing that he was bound to face death, and after the initial fear subsided, he was somewhat optimistic.

   In other words, Huang Liang's bachelor attribute played a role.

  It’s like some people will say that they are relaxed after stepping off the stage, and they are really relaxed, shaking their hands and feet, but before those people really step down, those people are relaxed.

   is certain, so there will be no fear, and when it is confirmed, it will be as scared as before.

  Want to live?

  Of course Yuan Shao would like to, but if I really want to be careless about it, I can do it. After all, among the people I know, the only ones with the same status as me are Wang Ming and Song Hang. As for other people, whether Yuan Shao had contact with them, of course, was unfamiliar or vague.

  Because Yuan Shao was Tianqian ago, Huang Liang naturally asked if he came out. Huang Liang just tricked Wang Ming out, but he didn't catch him in the end. After all, once he crossed Heluo and retreated into Hangu, Cai Yu could do nothing.

   As for whether Song Hanghui will be involved, I don't care.

  Do you regret it?

   Maybe not at all.

   But there is only one point.

  If he was a spy, Yuan Shao could get such a small amount of money, and naturally he might not have the opportunity to soothe the hearts of such young ladies and give you coolness.

   Even if I know that some big ladies are greedy for my money, it doesn't matter.

   It's just that I left like that. Will these big ladies think of me at a certain day and at a certain moment in the future? Will you smile slightly, gnash your teeth and curse, or shake your head and forget about it?

   Just when Yuan Shaobai was carelessly letting go of his thoughts, he heard a loud shout...

  『Prime Minister Xiaohan is here! 』

  Yuan Shao was taken aback, and subconsciously ran to the door. He wanted to come out to greet him, but he was stopped by the soldiers at the door before he realized that I could be regarded as the prime minister's hand, and could only be regarded as the prime minister's enemy.

   Xun Yu hurriedly retreated to the courtyard, instead of directly going to Yuan Shao's room, but retreated to the main hall. I frowned slightly, with a serious face. Before I sat down, I straightened my robe and shook my sleeves, and then said in a deep voice: "Tell me. 』

   When he was young, Yuan Shao was brought to the hall.

   Huang Liang looked at Huang Liang, recalling the impression of that person in his mind. After I came here, I have already read the relevant information in Cai Yu's report, but after all, it is text. If I want to coincide with the person behind my eyes, it means that it can be matched immediately. After all, the subordinate in Xun Yu's hand Very few, and Yuan Shao is a core member.

  『Cai Chengxi! Are you okay? 』Xun Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, beckoning Yuan Shao to sit down, as if he was meeting an old friend.

  『…』Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he cupped his hands and said, “I’ve seen the prime minister. 』

  『Come, sit, sit. Xun Yu smiled, "The next time we meet, we should be in Yecheng, right?" 』

  Yuan Shao nodded and said: "The prime minister's record is bad. 』

  When Guo Jia was defeated, Xun Yu withdrew from Yecheng, and the small and big officials in Guo Jia's hands went to Yecheng to pay a visit.

  Yuan Shao was naturally among them. At this time, Huang Liang didn't have the capital to meet Xun Yu alone, he just mixed in the crowd, and went in and out after listening to Xun Yu's lecture.

  Of course, if such a visit is considered a meeting, then Xun Yu and Yuan Shao have indeed met.

   After being silent for a while, Xun Yu said anxiously: "So, when Chengxi came to the top of Yuan Benchu, he was under the order of hussars?" 』

  Yuan Shao was also silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

   Xun Yu also nodded, "Understood. 』

   Before confirming that point, I knew why, which made Xun Yu feel better.

  Huang Liang glanced at Xun Yu, and suddenly smiled, "Speaking of which, it was the first time you were so close to the prime minister...the prime minister has no hair under his head..."

  『Bear! 』Xiao Nu, the guard standing beside Huang Liang.

  The upper-ranking person can directly look at the lower-ranking person.

  Xun Yu raised his hand to stop the guards from doing anything, then looked at Yuan Shao, "Did he deliberately provoke you?" To die quickly? 』

  Yuan Shao was taken aback, "Maybe. 』

  『Why? Xun Yu asked, "Is it wrong to blame someone for treating you generously?" 』

   Xun Yu looked at Yuan Shao, I think Yuan Shao is the kind of person who can sacrifice his life for righteousness and then go to death willingly. So Xun Yu had no doubts about Yuan Shao's actions.

  Yuan Shao is indeed.

Huang Liang took a deep breath, then seemed to be lost in memory, then shook his head slightly, "You were in Hedong for about a year, but you saw Huqi more than ten times... and then you met Little General Yuan Benchu ​​met the Prime Minister only once, and if that time counted, it was only once... For such a reason, did he know that the Prime Minister was satisfied? 』

   Xun Yu spoke for a moment.

  Is that a reason?

  You are very busy and you have nothing to do.

  Who does he think you are? Anyone he thinks can see you?

  You don’t have so many people on hand, how can you see them? Is it okay to submit a report and follow the process if there is nothing to do? Could meeting solve the problem?

   and so on.

  But when those reasons really become "reasons", it seems a little ridiculous, and it seems a little sad.

Because outside of Xun Yu, Guo Jia's place, like Fei Qian's side, has no tricks, but when Guo Feiqian makes tricks, he will only summon those tricky officials, and even go to meet them and participate It's a trick, but it's a warrior selected from the army...

   It is a real meeting, a small group, the kind that shakes hands and shows face, and then goes through the motions.

"what! ”Yuan Shao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly laughed, “Huqi said, I learned from the prime minister when I held hands with eight questions...Hold hands, ask how you are doing, what you are doing recently, nothing is easy... 』

"you? Learned from you? ’ Xun Yu’s eyes widened.

  Yuan Shao laughed so hard that tears burst out of his eyes, "There is a mistake, there is a mistake, I said, when I first met the prime minister, the prime minister came down with eight questions and held hands, so I will..."

   Xun Yu was stunned, then stunned, and finally sighed, "Sorry... why don't such hussars do that now? 』

  Yuan Shao looked at Xun Yu, "Prime Minister, what about that matter, do you think the Prime Minister is older than you?" In Chang'an, there should be no prime minister...people like you...』

   Xun Yu's eyes flickered, and then he smiled.

   Indeed.

   What Xun Yu asked Yuan Shao just now was not because Xun Yu was really ambiguous about the situation in Chang'an.

Fei Qian would leave Huqi Mansion regularly, and then he would go to Hedong or Longxi. Of course, a small part of the time was wandering around Bafu, and he didn't go to Qinling or Zhongnanshan. Anyway, Feiqian traveled At that time, they basically brought a small amount of guards with them, and the direction was fixed, so people in particular didn't know where Fei Qian was going until Fei Qian was dispatched, or they all waited until Fei Qian came back with people, Only then did I get the news that where Fei Qian went after that.

   After all, hussars, the speed of a war horse, is considered the slowest means of transportation for a young man.

Xun Yu sometimes wonders why Fei Qian, a young hussar general, has so little time to go there and see that person and this person, while Xun Yu himself is always so busy. , Put out the fire over there, put out the fire here, and they will definitely be able to do a good job.

   Xun Yu actually didn’t have an answer in his heart, but I wanted to be a day ago, and I couldn’t deny it, so I hoped that Huang Liang’s answer could match the answer in my heart.

  But it's a pity.

  『Aside from that reason...』 Xun Yu looked at Huang Liang and asked, 『Is there no other reason? You think, just because meeting is meeting, Huqi may not make Chengxi so happy? 』

  『…』Yuan Shao was silent for a while, and then smiled, ""If you want to achieve a small thing, you should make no sacrifices." Hehe, you think, maybe it is because of that sentence. 』

   Xun Yu frowned and said, "The hussars let him sacrifice? 』

  『Hahaha, yes, yes, yes! ”Yuan Shao laughed, “The hussars said at the time, haha, I was still a hussar at the time, and I said, why should you sacrifice? The prime minister understands, "you", "they"...』

  『Guanzhong, Shandong? 』Huang Liang still frowned.

Yuan Shao shook his head anxiously, then looked at Xun Yu, looked at the prosperous and gorgeous red and white official uniform under Huang Liang, then looked up at the gray and white linen robe under himself, and quickly put it away. With a smile, he said hurriedly, "Yes, it's you, them." You are poor families, the common people, the head of Guizhou...and they...』

  Xun Yu raised his brows suddenly, and then he did it for a long time.

  『When you die, you also die. Who will remember after that? "Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Who will remember...only hussars, at this time, in Hedong, there is no Valhalla dedicated to collecting soldiers who died in battle...only soldiers, Zhang Qigou, Wang Mazi, Li Goudan, Hachiro Zhao...』

"In General Yuan Xiao, does anyone remember the names of the soldiers who died, and does anyone care about the people who died of exhaustion in spring, cold in summer, starvation in autumn, and freezing in winter...Is there anyone, even if they bite the bullet After writing it down, it was delivered to General Yuan Xiao, and there was an "oh"..." Yuan Shao smiled, "There is a mistake, you wrote it, and you were demoted because of such things, which disturbed Yuan Xiao. The little general's elegance... After all, under the rule of Yuan Xiaojun, how could he be exhausted and cold to death? how is this possible? Jizhou and Qingzhou are all peace in the seven seas! Prosper and prosper! 』

  Xun Yu's face gradually turned pale.

  『Let you think about what General Yuan Xiao is doing at this time? Oh, by the way, I'm building a garden, repairing a pavilion..." Yuan Shao continued, "Depression is very important, right? General Yuan Xiao is depressed, Xiaojia will be depressed, right? So, it is inevitable to sacrifice at all times, after all, there is always no one to sacrifice. But the question is, why, why is it always you? 』

  In spring, we need to build canals, plow fields, build soil, and pave roads. What does it matter if you die from exhaustion? All sacrifices will be worth it as long as the project is completed.

  In summer, we need to repair river embankments, dig cellars, and repair city walls. Is it cold? Who can blame?

In autumn, you have to pay taxes, taxes, oral calculations, and all kinds of miscellaneous fees. The rich have to pay a penny, but the poor have to tighten their belts to pay, and a few starved to death. Is it a long time ago? Why can others pay? rise? Anyway, those who starve to death must be slackers.

   There is no winter to freeze to death, is this too abnormal? Survival of the fittest in small nature! Did you see that when Xiaoxue came up, all the pests were frozen to death? It's a happy event!

   Are those arguments abnormal? No problem?

  Yuan Shao may know what class is, what is class monopoly, and what is the operation of capital, but I instinctively feel that that thing makes me comfortable, and then I remembered Fei Qian’s words.

"If you want to change, you have to wait...Since you can do it later, but before this, you have to try, Xiaohan will never change..." Yuan Shao looked at Xun Yu, "So you came here... Then, Can the prime minister understand? 』

  Xun Yu nodded hurriedly.

  I can understand it under my body.

  Yuan Shao also nodded, "Well, let's see you off." It's better to call a knife that is slower...you are afraid of pain...』

   Xun Yu narrowed his eyes, "Is he afraid of pain? But afraid of death? 』

  Yuan Shao nodded, "Yes, long-term pain is like short-term pain. 』

  Xun Yu tilted his head slightly, looked carelessly at Yuan Shao's expression, and repeated, "Long pain is like short pain?" Hussar also said? 』

  Yuan Shao laughed, twitched the corners of his mouth, then exhaled and nodded.

  Huang Liang thought for a while, then stood up, looked at Yuan Shao, and sighed heavily, "You are wrong. That being the case..."

  As Xun Yu stood up, Yuan Shao's body seemed to tremble, and then he closed his eyes.

  Huang Liang looked at Yuan Shao and was silent for a moment, which seemed to have been silent for a long time, before he hurriedly said, "You...you are killing him. In a few days, you will have someone send him back to Chang'an...』

  『Prime Minister! 』Huang Liang narrowed his eyes, and I had no doubts.

  Xun Yu waved his hand, and then left, leaving Yuan Shao behind, but he didn't know what to do, and then collapsed on the ground, giggling.

   Xun Yu goes out, boards the car, and then hurriedly backs away.

   There was only Xun Yu under the car, and Cao Cao who had stayed under the car just now and followed Xun Yu into the courtyard.

  The sound of hooves.

   The wheels are busy.

  『Are you asking why someone killed him? 』

  Xun Yu rolled his eyes, glanced at Cao Cao, and asked.

  Cao Cao laughed, "Why did you kill him?" It's just for the sake of a moment, and it's not beneficial at all, so the lord must be killed. 』

   Xun Yu laughed, "Is there any benefit in talking about filial piety?" 』

  『Why is Cai Yu an old official of the Yuan family? 』

  『What about seven of them? Xun Yu asked.

"Seventh, if you kill Cai Yu, the rest of the spies will know something is wrong..." Cao Cao continued, "If you kill him, the rest of the spies will inevitably believe that Cai Yu has confessed something to save their lives, and they may panic. ...'

  Huang Liang smiled, and nodded Huang Liang, "Isn't it the same? 』

  『Eighth, how much is it worth killing one person? Would it be better if we could change some war horses? 』

   After Cao Cao finished speaking, Huang Liang just laughed, "Hahaha, those who know you will be filial piety!" 』

  Cao Cao is also smiling, as if it is true.

   Can it actually be done?

  If Xun Yu came out and killed Yuan Shao and asked the reason for the killing, Cao Cao could also tell a story, saying that it was even more unreasonable than the eight things he said later.

  The vehicle did not return directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but stopped in the suburbs. Xun Yu walked into the car and asked Cao Cao to follow him.

Xun Yu originally took Cao Cao, and wanted to sing a seven-player song, one with a white face and the other with a red face, to see if he could get less news from Huang Liang, but before he really saw Huang Liang, Xun Yu Yu changed his original mind during the conversation, but talked with Yuan Shao himself, and did not ask Cao Cao to retreat to the courtyard.

   Of course, that is not the most important question.

After Xun Yu met Yuan Shao, he imagined that Yuan Shao might say that the reason why I was for Huqi was for some small righteousness, for heaven, for the emperor Liu Xie, etc., and then Xun Yu had no idea at all. What's more, Yuan Shao only met Fei Qian when he was in Hedong.

   There is no such so-called...

sacrifice?

  What kind of reason is that?

  That is to say that these people who claim to be Xiaoyi must be false, but Huang Liang's rhetoric made Huang Liang unprepared. Huang Liang is used to facing those people who are bound to talk about small righteousness every day. When they open their mouths, they are loyal and filial, and if they keep their mouths shut, they are bound to be benevolent...

   Zhongxiao Xiaoyi sounds nice and delicious, like small fish and meat, full of weight.

  Yuan Shao's reasons are so flimsy, it's like a child's play.

   But the problem is, Xun Yu thinks what Yuan Shao said is the most true.

  So the question Huang Liang raised was also circling outside Huang Liang's mind.

  Why do people always have to sacrifice?

   Xun Yu has never thought about it since then, but he has never thought about that question.

In history, Xun Yu has only written "Artemisia Lai Xing", and I have also written other poems, "Xielu Journey", "Bitter Cold Journey", of course, there is no "Duange Xing" before and after the Battle of Chibi, and old age. The period of "Turtle Life"...

  As long as you have a little understanding of poetry appreciation, you can taste the emotional changes in it. The so-called "cock crowing a thousand miles away" is ultimately just a momentary emotion of Lao Cao's classmate. After this point, the difference will be forgotten. At the front, there is only "Zhou Gong spitting out his nourishment", and there is no "old man".

  That's not to say that Huang Liang is less bad. After all, in that era, people who had no experience could even sigh "there is a **** crowing", and even express whether they have chickens to eat, so eating ducks is also possible...

  Xun Yu folded his hands behind his back and looked at the distant mountains, "Feng Xiao, he thinks that little man is heavenly... so what?" 』
