Chapter 370: The Choice of Direction
Drizzle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Silky.
fluttering like sympathetic little hands, caressing, soaking, from clothes to body.
Good tea.
Lush and fragrant.
Gently swinging like a sympathetic embrace, warm, lingering, from outside the body to the inside.
The drizzle and the scent of tea divide the inside and outside of the hall into two different worlds.
"Brother, please tea!" Xun Yu respectfully gave the tea soup to Xun Zhan, saw Xun Zhan take the bowl, began to drink, and then picked up his tea bowl and tasted the tea carefully.
There is nothing added to the tea soup, it is simply boiled with water, which is Xun Zhan's habit.
Don't say anything when you drink tea, don't say anything when you eat, this is also Xun Zhan's habit.
Watching Xun Zhan slowly finish drinking the tea soup, he put down the bowl, and Xun Yu also put down the tea bowl.
Jizhou is also a long drought, although this spring rain is not big, but people are very happy, because with this spring rain, the seeds of planted crops can finally sprout and grow, and the harvest of a year has hope.
But for the people in Jizhou now, there are also many people in their hearts, and the grass has begun to sprout quietly.
"The Patriarch's letter is the best." Xun Zhan took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table, pushed it to Xun Yu's side, and then turned his head to look at the drizzle outside the hall, his face was full of solemnity, as if he wanted to see some picture from the drizzle outside the hall.
Xun Yu took the letter, unfolded it and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned.
After a long time, Xun Yu put down the letter, looked at Xun Zhan, his expression was complicated, and then lowered his head, looking at the water vapor rising in the kettle on the side of the table, his face was full of helplessness, as if he wanted to draw some amazing answer from the water vapor.
The two brothers looked at the rain and the smoke and were silent.
Xun Zhan sighed softly, like spring raindrops falling on the tile, subtle and almost inaudible, and opened his mouth to groan:
"Heaven is a mountain,
"The Great King is desolate.
"He did it,
"King Wen Kangzhi.
"Pekti,
"There is a trip to Yi,
"Children and grandchildren protect it."
Xun Yu was silent, he knew the origin of this "heavenly work", and naturally knew the meaning of this song.
This is the mountain song of the Duke of Zhou sacrificing to Tanqi Mountain when he became king.
Qishan was not the homeland of the Zhou tribe, but after the Zhou tribe moved eastward, it occupied Chaoge, representing the development and prosperity of all this from Qishan, from where the Zhou people continued to expand eastward until most of the Central Plains.
Therefore, for the Zhou Dynasty, Qishan was much more than the original habitat of the tribe, it was a representation of the prosperity of the tribe, and it was a symbol of the family's move from the local to the central.
Xun's hometown is in Yingchuan, but now the head of the Xun family followed Emperor Han Xian to Chang'an, while Xun Zhan and Xun Yu, two brothers, are in Jizhou, in a sense, they have left their hometown and left "Qishan".
The meaning of "hometown" will change with the migration of people, just as the king of Zhou left his hometown of Qishan and turned Chaoge into a new hometown. The original hometown may be overshadowed because it is not conducive to survival and development, and the new place of origin may be closer because it has benefited greatly.
To make a contribution, you don't have to be born in Si and grow up in Si Di's hometown, just like the situation faced by the Xun family now.
But Xun Yu noticed the deeper meaning behind Xun Zhan's groan, and the last sentence of "descendants protect it" revealed Xun Zhan's current heart......
Xun Zhan is now the descendant of the Xun family, the foundation of the Xun family, the status of the Xun family, and the future of the Xun family.
Just like the patriarch Xun Shuang's explanation in the letter, although on the surface it seems to be sincere and loving, the meaning is still very clear, asking Xun Zhan to help Yuan Shao "as much as possible......
Just like in the family, he persuaded Xun Zhan to help Jizhou Mu Hanfu "as much as possible......
"Brother......
Xun Yu left the table, bowed down, bowed his head on the palm of his hand, originally wanted to say some words of comfort to Xun Zhan, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.
Xun Zhan smiled slightly, helped Xun Yu up, and said, "I am a brother, so I should go first." It doesn't have to be that way. ”
Xun Zhan, like Xun Yu, came to Jizhou and found that Jizhou Mu Hanfu was not a British master, but for Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, there were still some regrets.
Because Yuan Shao already has someone around him who is also from Yingchuan, Guo Tu.
Although Guo Tu was originally a subordinate of Jizhou Mu Hanfu, since Yuan Shao came to Jizhou, he established contact with Yuan Shao very quickly, and also gained Yuan Shao's trust, which is not a very happy thing for the Xun family, who is also from Yingchuan.
Guo Tu's gas volume......
So originally, Xun Zhan didn't want to be inclined to Yuan Shao, and he didn't bother to work with such a small person, he preferred to have a master who could fully display his talents, rather than planning with his colleagues all day long.
But the family has an order, and they dare not disobey.
Who made himself the son of the Xun family and the elder brother, if he didn't do this first test, would he still let his younger brother act as one?
"The Hangeul Festival will fail." Xun Zhan said, as if he was saying a very ordinary thing, "The people of Jizhou, nor the people of Yingchuan, look forward and backward, undecided, empty scepters, but what can be done." Those who achieve great things should be informal, and those who become hegemons should move forward bravely, but as of today, there has not been such a hero. If you are in the text, you can wait for the time ......"
Xun Yu knew that in fact, Xun Zhan said two sentences, one refers to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao pays too much attention to "subsections", this kind of critical moment to discuss Dong, he even has to make a "contract" first, and he must first put on the name of a general before doing things, but he doesn't know that the opportunity is always fleeting, and the official position, as long as there is the name of the three dukes, really have to do it, and when it comes to the day of success, will it be small?
The other sentence refers to Yuan Shu, there are soldiers of Runan, and there are generals such as Sun Jian and Ji Ling under him, but he hovers between Yu Ying, without the spirit of "moving forward bravely", and let Dong Zhuo seize the gap and fight back.
Therefore, in Xun Zhan's eyes, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are not "heroic figures" that can be relied on, but at the request of the family, they have to join Yuan Shao's camp, so in fact, for Xun Zhan, it is also a kind of cruelty.
"Follow the teachings of the eldest brother." Xun Yu said goodbye.
Xun Zhan nodded, turned his head to look outside the hall, and before he knew it, the drizzle had stopped. Xun Zhan smiled slightly and said, "The rain has stopped, it is feasible." ”
Yes, the rain has stopped, and we can go, but how do we go about it, and where does the direction of this road lead?
Xun Yu said goodbye to Xun Zhan, walked out of Xun Zhan's residence, walked slowly on the streets of Yecheng, looked up at the clouds in the sky that had not yet dispersed, and couldn't help but groan slowly:
"He grass is not yellow,
"Not anymore.
"Who will not,
"Running the Quartet.
"He Cao is not mysterious,
"Who is not reserved.
"Mourn my husband,
"Alone bandits.
"Bandits, bandits,
"Lead the wilderness.
"Mourn my husband,
"It's hard to go."
