Chapter 132: Xun You
Yuan Chang, you can hurt me! That night, in Situ's mansion, Zhong Xuan had already informed Xun You that Chen Mo would visit in person tomorrow.
In order to show his sincerity, Chen Mo relied on the number of courtesies, first dragged Zhong Miao to send a post, and came to visit in person tomorrow.
"It's just to see each other, if Gongda doesn't want to, it shouldn't be." Zhong Miao persuaded with a smile.
"How can it be so simple?" Xun You shook his head and said, "I heard that Chen Mo is acting unscrupulously, at this moment, outside the Situ Mansion, I'm afraid it is already full of spies." ”
"It seems that Gongda has a misunderstanding of the general." Zhong Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "General Chen's actions may be eclectic, but in terms of dealing with people, he is impeccable, since he responds to me like this, he will not break his word, Gongda and General Chen also have several faces, how can you reject him so much?" ”
After Xun You hesitated for a moment, he shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not a secret, Wen Ruo has already sent a letter, inviting me to assist Cao Gong, with the talent of my uncle, since he recognized Cao Gong as the master, Cao Gong should be a very person, I am afraid that this matter will ......"
Speaking of this, Xun You looked at Zhong Xuan and said, "Yuan Chang, I really don't hide it, I came here to ask you to go to Juancheng with me to assist Cao Gong." ”
"Meng De may also be a hero, but he can guarantee to Gongda, and General Chen is by no means idle, you come to Guanzhong this time, can you see how the people in Guanzhong live?" Zhong Miao asked with a smile.
"Okay." Xun Yu thought about it for a moment and thought about it.
Zhong Xuan has experienced Guanzhong's prosperity step by step from dilapidation, and he can feel Chen Mo's ability, but Xun You came from Jingzhou this time, and he has also studied in Guanzhong, Chen Mo has only been able to restore the livelihood of Guanzhong for two years, although it is not much better than Li Guo's time, but compared with the prosperity of Guanzhong, there is still some distance.
"That is Gongda has never seen Guanzhong two years ago, Li Guo and the two thieves are fighting, the Xiliang warlords are divided, and they make a living by plundering the people, Guanzhong can be said to be thousands of miles away, but in just two years, it will be restored to life under the governance of General Chen, such a skill, looking at the world, I am afraid it is difficult to find a second person." Zhong Xuan knelt down and sat down, looked at Xun You and said seriously: "The matter of the Central Plains, the DPRK and the Central Committee often discuss, Cao Mengde has a great foundation in five years, it is indeed extraordinary, but not to say whether it can be compared to General Chen, in terms of the situation alone, there is Yuan Benchu in the north to dominate the north, General Chen in the west to look at the Central Plains, Yuan Shu in the south, Liu Bei in the east, it is really a place of four wars, although it is with His Majesty, it is difficult to break the predicament, and although General Chen is not famous now, Guanzhong is the land of Longxing, and the strategists under his command are like clouds, and the fierce generals are like rain, and General Chen himself has both civil and military skills, and has benevolence and righteousness, Moreover, Meng De is now over the age of confusion, and General Chen has only just won the crown! ”
This is also the most important question, even if Cao Cao is similar to Chen Mo, but Cao Cao is nearly twenty years older than Chen Mo, with the current situation in the world, the three-point pattern of the Central Plains has been decided, and it may be difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time.
Not to mention comparing with Cao Cao, looking at the princes of the world, which of them can compare with Chen Mo in terms of age? Even if Sun Ce is barely counted as a prince, the same age as Chen Mo, but Chen Mo is now in Guanzhong, and he is already one of the three heroes in the Central Plains, and Sun Ce only has a county, which is a great overlord of Jiangdong, how can he compare?
Xun You was silent, age is sometimes an advantage, but when the conditions are similar, being too old will also be a disadvantage.
"Besides, even if Gongda is unwilling to assist, but this time General Chen came to see him according to the courtesy, as the head of one party, this time it can be regarded as courtesy, but Gongda avoids it, which is also rude." Zhong Xuan smiled: "What's the matter if you see each other?" ”
The current Chen Mo is not the identity when he went to Yingchuan to visit Xian, the lord of Guanzhong, the important minister of the auxiliary dynasty, Chen Mo came to see him according to the number of courtesies, and he avoided it at this time, and it was not Chen Mo who was at fault, but Xun You.
Xun You shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this: "It's okay." ”
"I won't regret it." Zhong Mo smiled and said, for Chen Mo's charm, Zhong Mo has seen it, the entire court, even if Chen Mo is not pleasing to the eye, he will not hate Chen Mo too much, after all, most of the time, Chen Mo is smiling and welcome, and his attitude will be very low, what he wants is practical benefits, as long as the things on the face are not too excessive, most of Chen Mo can be humorously resolved, of course, there are also the kind of people who give you three points of face and float, for this kind of person, Chen Mo is ruthless when he cleans up, and others will not say anything.
After all, everyone is a scholar, pay attention to what they say and do, and leave some measure, if people give you a face, you kick your nose in the face, then you can't find it yourself, at this time, Chen Mo started to clean up, even if he was unhappy, people would not stop him.
But if you really offend Chen Mo, it will be a catastrophe, as soon as Chen Mo makes a move, it is not only a matter of your own life, but also a matter of ruining your reputation.
Xun You can only endure the matter of Zhong Xuan's first cut and then play, as Zhong Xuan said, he has relied on himself as Chen Mo to be courteous, if he avoids it, he will seem stingy and uneducated, and the Xun family still has some friendship with Chen Mo, his two uncles, Xun Biao and Xun Di both served under Chen Mo, and Zhong Xuan praised Chen Mo, Xun You also had some interest.
At dawn the next day, Chen Mo brought his personal guards to Situ Mansion to meet him, and Zhong Xuan naturally greeted him in person, and officially introduced Xun You to Chen Mo.
"Speaking of which, it is not the first time I have met Mr. Gongda, in the former general's mansion, Mr. Gongda's remarks are still fresh in my memory." Chen Mo talked about some of Xun You's remarks that day, and he took them to comment on them, and couldn't help but praise them.
"I don't want the general to remember those things." Xun You looked at Chen Mo at this moment, and there was no way to give birth to the slightest rejection.
Not to mention the friendship between the two parties, just say what you said a few years ago, people can say it word for word, and this feeling of being valued is difficult to reject.
Zhong Xuan was not surprised, Chen Mo's terrifying memory, it was not difficult to understand after working with Chen Mo for a long time, he was numb, and he just felt a little funny when he saw Xun You's touched expression.
Of course, this is just a good impression of Chen Mo, and it is impossible to let Xun You stay because of this.
"The family teacher once said that in this life, what a person learns is limited after all, and he should take the strengths of others to go further. Chen Mo smiled.
"But I don't know how the general compares himself to Cao Gong?" Xun You asked with a smile.
"Brother is a masterpiece in the world, I know what Mr. asked, if you talk about ability, I am afraid that my brother and I are difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but if the current situation is concerned, although Brother Meng De has the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, but if it is chaotic today, it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it has been fighting for many years, and although Mo is young, but Guanzhong Antai, in the long run, Brother Meng De is afraid that he will not be as long as me." Chen Mo smiled and said: "Today, the Central Plains is divided into three points, although I don't want to see this stalemate, but I am afraid that this situation will be protracted, if Brother Meng De can't sweep Xuzhou as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight with me!" ”
Today, the three males of the Central Plains are standing together, and the three males now have their own troubles, Yuan Shao has not completely solved Gongsun Zhan, and Chen Mo also has Qiang, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, but if it is said that the one who has the greatest troubles is indeed Cao Cao.
Not to mention Xuzhou Liu Bei, Jianghuai Yuan Shu, Nanyang Lu Bu to attack Yuzhou is more than attacking Heluo or Guanzhong, in the middle is also the most beaten position, if Xuzhou can not be quickly pacified, Cao Cao has almost no ability to go out to the army, and the soldiers and horses have to be used on all sides of the defense.
At this point, Chen Mo really didn't black Cao Cao.
The two made some deductions based on the current situation, and then talked about the problems of governance, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of some laws and regulations in Guanzhong today.
But this time, Zhong Yu really didn't recommend the wrong person, and Xun Yu had quite insightful strategies and governance.
On the other hand, Xun You has actually heard of Chen Mo for a long time, Chen Mo has two poems circulating, it can be seen that Chen Mo is a more pragmatic kind, and Chen Mo's reputation in Luoyang in his early years was not all notoriety, Xun Shuang and Lu Zhi valued Chen Mo very much, not to mention Cai Yong, who has now become Chen Mo's father-in-law.
It's just that after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Chen Mo followed Dong Zhuo, and now I think about it, in fact, Chen Mo didn't help the evil much, in terms of righteousness, Chen Mo also respected the orders of the imperial court at that time, to put it bluntly, it was actually a matter of standing in line at that time, Wang Yun also voted for Dong Zhuo no matter what he said at that time, why didn't anyone scold him? Or Chen Mo's connections were too shallow at that time, everyone just had some contact in secret, and they didn't bring Chen Mo, Chen Mo was tantamount to being excluded from the two circles, in that case, Chen Mo was able to come out step by step to reach today's point, in fact, it is not easy to come now.
For Chen Mo's invitation, Xun You did not refuse, nor did he accept it, and decided to stay in Chang'an for a while, Xun Di and Xun Biao are now in Chang'an, and there is naturally a place for Xun You here.
The next is naturally not all about teaching, Zhong Xuan set up a banquet to entertain the two, the three of them no longer talked about political affairs, and began to discuss some knowledge or talk about the customs and customs of various places, after Xun You resigned, he went to Bashu, he went to Jingzhou, and he knew a lot about the customs of various places, Chen Mo seemed to be quite interested in these, and the three of them talked about it late at night, and Chen Mo just said goodbye and returned home.
"How?" After Zhong Miao sent Chen Mo away, he looked at Xun You, who was sitting on the seat and pondered, and asked with a smile.
"It is indeed a hero." Xun You nodded, it was a bit of a surprise to meet Chen Mo, originally he wanted to persuade Zhong Yu to go with him to vote for Cao Cao, so that at least in the Juancheng Imperial Court, there is also a third duke in charge, and he will not look so shabby, but talking freely with Chen Mo made Xun You hesitate a little.
"Still worried about Mengde's affairs?" Zhong Miao asked with a smile.
Xun You nodded, basically, he was already ready to agree to Cao Cao, but now he met Chen Mo again, which made it a little difficult for him to choose.
"I can't help you to break this matter, or, as Gongda said, stay a little longer." Zhong Xuan said with a smile.
"It's fine." Xun You nodded, ready to take another look.
