Chapter 66: Xun Yu

Half a month later, Yingyin County!

Li Yang and his entourage dismounted outside the north gate, and after a simple check, they led their horses into the city!

Yingchuan County is a holy place for scholars, walking on the street, you can see scholars in Confucian shirts everywhere!

On the streets, in the wine shops, in the guest houses, you can hear the voices of scribes talking everywhere!

I came to Yingyin to visit Xun's family!

Xun is the world's top wealthy family, Xun is talented, "Shenjun" Xun Shu, has eight sons, then called Xun's eight dragons, all of them are noble and knowledgeable!

The Li family and the Xun family have a lot of origins, Li Ying respects Xun Shu as a teacher, and holds the disciple ceremony, with this relationship, Li Yang also wants to come to visit!

In fact, what really interested Li Yang was not the Xun Eight Dragons, what really interested him was Xun Yu and Xun You, both of whom were outstanding at the moment, and could be called the top strategists in the late Han Dynasty!

Xun Yu has a very high strategic vision.

Military strategy, governing the people, omnipotent.

Xun Yu has a modest and cautious personality, a good character, and a frugal life, and often scatters the wealth and surplus money rewarded by the court to the clansmen and friends living in poverty, and there is no surplus wealth at home all year round!

Chen Qun praises Xun Yu as "unparalleled in the world"

Zhong Xuan commented that Xun Yu is comparable to Yan Hui, and has the character of a saint!

Sima Yi directly said that the things recorded in the book are too far away, and in the past few decades, there is no one who can compare to Xun Yu among the talents I have seen with my own eyes!

Cao Cao wrote when he put a table on the Son of Heaven and entered Xun Yu as the Marquis of Wanshou Pavilion: Since the beginning of the army, the minister has traveled around the expedition, worked together with Xun Yu to maintain the court and help the world, Xun Yu's strategy has not worked, his meritorious achievements are the main reason why the minister can achieve great things, his role is like removing the clouds to show the glory of the sun and the moon, the peace of the world, Xun Yu is a well-deserved first merit!

Xun Yu insisted that he would not accept it!

Therefore, Cao Cao personally wrote a letter to Xun Yu, in which Cao Cao said sincerely: Kuang Zheng is the one who assists, you are the one who recommends talents, you are the one who offers strategies, and you are the one who secretly plans it, how can you refuse?

Xun Yu reluctantly accepted it!

In fact, the deeds about Xun Yu that we can see now are just the tip of the iceberg, because Xun Yu has a habit of always writing down what he wants to say in advance before meeting Cao Cao!

In October 212 AD, Cao Cao personally led a large army to conquer Sun Quan, and when he passed through Qian County, he suddenly ordered Xun Yu to come to the labor army, this abnormal order, so that Xun Yu had a premonition that Cao Cao was going to attack him, and he did not want to leave evidence for Cao Cao to give advice after his death. Therefore, before leaving, all the bamboo slips that recorded their words and deeds were burned!

After arriving in Qian County, Cao Cao really left Xun Yu in the army, and let him serve as a servant and a doctor of Guanglu, holding the festival and participating in the prime minister's military!

After Cao Cao went south to wet beard, Xun Yu stayed in Shouchun due to illness!

At the end of 212 AD, Xun Yu died in Shouchun at the age of 50, and was nicknamed "Jing Hou".

Regarding Xun Yu's death, the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms said that he was worried, that is, he died of worry, and Wei's Spring and Autumn Period recorded that Cao Cao had given food to Xun Yu at that time, but after opening it, he found that it was an empty box, and Xun Yu was forced to take poison and commit suicide!

These two historical books are conveying a clear message to future generations, Xun Yu was killed by Cao Cao in a way that is not suitable for publicity, and as soon as Xun Yu died, there would be no obstacles on the way to Cao Cao's promotion!

Five months later, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty canonized Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei, added nine tin, built the Wei State, and set the capital in Yecheng!

Liu Bei is hypocritical, he has also killed Liu Feng and Peng Yi, but no matter how hypocritical he is, he will not attack Zhuge Liang!

Sun Quan was mediocre and suspicious in his later years, he hated Zhang Zhao Chibi to surrender, and repeatedly outspoken offense, once even angry to the point of drawing a knife at each other, but recalling Zhang Zhao's kindness when he was young, he was reluctant to take the life of this old minister!

Xun Yu's character is not inferior to Zhuge Liang, and his ability is even higher than Zhang Zhao, Cao Cao also said: "Xun Yu's credit, I will never forget it!" But in order to reduce the resistance to usurp power, he still drew the butcher knife with a clear conscience.

Speaking of treacherous and selfish, cruel and cold-blooded, ungrateful, unkind, the entrepreneur in the Three Kingdoms, there is no one who has passed Cao Mengde!

More than 20 years ago, two hot-blooded young people had the same original intention, embarked on this unknown road ahead, they had determined to help the world, save the common people, they also overcame thorns, side by side, and finally after being weathered, through the darkness, ushered in the light, but at the end of the road, they all hesitated, one finally chose to touch the supreme right, and the other fell into a painful struggle.

Get by, go with the flow will be the founding father, the scenery is unlimited, resign for retirement, return to the mountains and forests can also be rich and glorious, and enjoy the rest of his life, but he chose to fight, choose to be loyal to his faith, choose to ignore life and death, watch alone, and play a solo symphony!

Xun Yu's death is the last bloom of a 400-year-old strong man before he withered, the last firelight to participate in under the thick ashes, and an accurate commentary on the ruthlessness of power and the ugliness of human nature!

To sum up, Li Yang's love for Xun Yu is even greater than Zhuge Kongming!

Xun You has a very high tactical literacy, can be called a master of tactics in general, Guan Yu will capture the flag, stabbing in the army, it benefits from Xun You's advice, Xun You's tactical planning, in the world is absolutely the only existence!

The troubled times are coming, Li Yang is thirsty for talent, and this time he came to Yingyin, just under the pretense of wishful thinking to include the two of them!

Li Yang and his entourage are lightly armed, five people, four horses, and nothing else, so there is no need to find a guest house to settle down, the Li family and the Xun family have a deep personal relationship, and they don't have to worry about having no place to stay!

Li Yang and Han Bao rode together, Han Bao always felt that his back was cold, and when he looked back, he saw that Li Yang was closing his eyes and recuperating, taking deep breaths from time to time, with a trace of nervousness on his face that could not be concealed!

Han Bao smiled, glanced at Li Yang with a soft gaze, and said in his heart: "There is no vanity under the fame, and the name of the Xun family is really extraordinary!" ”

The five of them crossed the streets and alleys, and after walking for half an hour, they reined in in front of a high-gate compound!

The door of the mansion was wide open, and there were several people of the same age as Li Yang standing in front of the door, as if they were waiting to welcome the arrival of the distinguished guests!

Li Yang turned over and dismounted, stopped in front of the stone steps, he straightened his clothes, and then solemnly saluted, and said loudly: "Junior Li Yang, on the order of my father, visit the Xun family's high gate!" Xun's many noble people, Yang, the heart yearns for it, this time away from home travel, passing through Yuzhou, specially to Yingyin, to visit, but also hope that Xun's elders do not hesitate to advise one or two, although only a few words, but can make stupid people benefit a lot! ”

"Distinguished guests are coming, and they are not welcomed! Disrespectful! Disrespectful! ”

When Li Yang heard this, he looked up, but saw that the person who spoke was handsome and elegant, although he was a few steps apart, he was fragrant, like the smell of incense!

Li Yang was overjoyed, took a step forward, bowed and saluted, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Wen Ruo, don't come to harm?" ”
