Chapter Seventy-Seven: Yingchuan Xun's Clan

It is said that after Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, he retreated to Chang'an, Guanzhong, and then divided the main force under his command into three corps, led by his henchmen and generals, the three Zhonglang generals, to garrison the first line of Anyi, Huayin, and Mianchi, which were the only way for the Kwantung Army to attack Chang'an.

And because the Kwantung coalition forces had their own selfish intentions, so that the matter of seeking Dong could not be resolved, the three-way men with heavy troops connived at the Xiliang army under their command to loot everywhere, making the area around Si Li ten rooms and nine empty.

There is a place named Yingchuan hundreds of miles away in the southeast direction of Mianchi, Yingchuan is more Junjie, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of LΓΌ Buwei, and then Han Feizi, Zhang Liang and others are all from the land of Yingchuan. There are also many famous families in the land of Yingchuan, such as Yingyin Xun clan, Changshe Zhong clan, Xuxian Chen clan, etc., and the important ministers in the court also have many children of these famous families, and they are rich and extraordinary.

At this time, in Yingyin County, Yingchuan, among the Xun family, an emergency family meeting was being held.

I saw that in the middle of the hall, a scribe wearing a brown crown hat and a white face had a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "Elders, if there is chaos today, Yingchuan is a place of four wars, and it will be harmed by the flames of war. Therefore, Yu thought that we should leave this place and avoid the spread of war. ”

"Clan elders, I think what the clan uncle said is very true!"

A middle-aged scribe in his early thirties next to him, after listening to the words of the younger scribe, immediately agreed.

In the middle of the hall, a silver-haired old man nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with the words of the two, so he asked: "Wen Ruo, Gongda, in the opinion of the two of you, where should I go?"

It turned out that the person who spoke first was Xun Yu, who was known as [Wang Zuozhicai], and the other was Xun Yu, who was known as the [mastermind].

I saw Xun Yu groaning for a moment, and then said: "If there is chaos today, there are remnants of yellow turbans everywhere." Only Jizhou is slightly better, and now Jizhou Thorn Shi sent someone to ask me to go to Jizhou to live in peace. Therefore, Yu thought that he could take refuge in Jizhou. Moreover, Han Fu is the head of a state, if he goes to Jizhou, it will be beneficial to my Xun clan. ”

The old man nodded secretly, extremely relieved in his heart, Xun Yu's demeanor is unparalleled, and after he returns to heaven, he will be relieved that the Xun clan will be led.

"Father, all the clan elders, De thinks that Han Fu is not a good place to go. ”

Before the old man could agree with Xun Yu's words, another scribe who was a little younger than Xun Yu jumped out and loudly refuted Xun Yu's words.

The actions of this young scribe made the Xun clan elder secretly dissatisfied.

Their Yingchuan Xun clan is a famous family, and their words and deeds follow etiquette, and their words and deeds have been excellent since childhood. The behavior of this young scribe was beyond etiquette, which naturally made the elders of the Xun clan dissatisfied. However, they thought that this young scribe was the son of the patriarch, and the patriarch had been working on the affairs of the Xun clan all the year round, perhaps without his discipline, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts was a little weaker.

Xun Shu frowned, a little annoyed in his heart, but as the head of the clan, his qi cultivation kung fu was still good, and he quickly calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, and asked lightly: "Shi Ruo, then what do you have to do?"

The name of the person who spoke was Xun De, and he was the son of Xun Xu, the current patriarch of the Xun clan.

The Yingchuan Xun clan has gradually become stronger since Xun Shu, and then Xun Shu's eight sons are called "Eight Dragons", which shows the importance that outsiders attach to the Xun family.

Xun Jian, Xun Qi, and Xun Jing are the longest, among which Xun Jing's reputation is the loudest. Later, there were Xun Tao, Xun Xu, Xun Shuang, Xun Su, Xun Yang, among them, Xun Shuang has the most reputation, and Xun Jing is known as Wenrun Ancient Jade. It is revered by scholars all over the world and can be called a model of scholars.

Xun Shu's eight sons are all excellent and abnormal, and they are all competent to serve as the patriarch of the Xun clan. However, the eldest son Xun Jian and the second son Xun Qi both died early, and the third son Xun Jing should have served as the patriarch, but Xun Jing lived in seclusion for life to explore knowledge, and the position of patriarch naturally needed to choose someone else. Xun Shuang's reputation is outside, so he is naturally an excellent candidate, but because Xun Shuang is in an important position in the imperial court, he may be biased in the choice of country and family, so in the end, the position of patriarch fell into the hands of Xun Xu.

Xun's [Eight Dragons] also deserves to be called so, although Xun Shu is not as famous as Xun Jing and Xun Shuang, but it also manages Xun's family in an orderly manner, and outsiders talk about the Xun family, they praise it loudly.

Although Xun De is the son of Xun Xu, Xun Xu will not ignore the rise and fall of the Xun clan and listen to his son's words.

"Patriarch, I think that Yuan Shao of Runan, now as the leader of the alliance against Dong, and the fourth and third duke of the Yuan family, why don't we go to Bohai and take refuge in Yuan Shao. ”

Xun De's words fell, and the elders of the Xun clan at the top all sighed in their hearts that Xun De was unwise.

Xun Yu means that Yingchuan is the land of four wars, and the Xun clan should choose a stable place to settle down and then develop the Xun clan. However, Xun De's meaning is to choose to protect the Yuan family, which sounds like no difference, but the meaning is far away.

Although Han Fu is the assassin of Jizhou, his talent is limited, and if the people of the Xun family help Han Fu, they will naturally be able to improve the status of the Xun family. And Han Fu will naturally return the favor and help the Xun family grow. However, if you go to Yuan Shao, the Yuan family and the Xun family are both famous families, as the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, the Yuan family and the Xun family will naturally have contradictions. After all, the Xun family is the door of the scholar family, and compared with the Yuan family, which holds both military and political power, it is much worse, if you go to Yuan Shao. The result is naturally self-evident, and in the end he can only become a vassal of the Yuan family.

Such a result is naturally not what the Xun clan elders expected, so Xun De's words will inevitably disappoint the Xun clan elders. At this point, Xun De and the position of the patriarch of the Xun clan have no chance.

Xun Yu made a face, looked at Xun De, and admonished: "The Son of Heaven is in trouble, the court is drifting, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, does not want to crusade against the traitor Dong Zhuo, and has the name of the alliance leader, but he has no virtue of the alliance leader." How can such people be worthy of my Xun clan's assistance, and in this way, how will the world's scholars view my Xun clan?"

Unlike ordinary people, the Xun family is a famous family, so it can naturally be seen that Yuan Shao has no intention of rescuing the imperial court. And Xun Yu's loyalty to the royal family can be seen from his final fate.

This also made the Xun clan elders sigh that Xun Yu's loyalty to the court was far greater than that of the Xun family, which made them a little worried. If Xun Yu is the patriarch, and the Xun family has a disagreement with the imperial court, it is difficult to guarantee that Xun Yu will not be biased towards the imperial court. However, now is not the time to think about the position of the patriarch, and it is the right thing to deal with the situation in front of you.

"Shiruo, what Wen Ruo said is very true. Besides, my Xun clan is no worse than the Yuan family, why should I live under others. You don't have to say much, just according to what Wen Ruo said, my Xun clan moved to Jizhou. ”

Xun Yu made a decision with an unquestionable tone, Xun Yu and the others had no opinion on this, only Xun De glanced at Xun Yu with jealousy, bowed to the head of the Xun clan, and left with a look of anger.

Of course, his appearance like this would only disappoint the elders of the Xun clan even more.

When the Xun clan held a meeting, other famous families in Yingchuan also held a meeting at the same time, and each chose the place where the family went. At least, Yingchuan can't stay any longer.

When the famous families leave, the people who depend on them naturally choose to stay. However, most of the people did not want to leave their homes, so they chose to stay, and in the end, when disaster came, they could only end up dying.
