Chapter 311: Inside and Outside
"Please come back!" It wasn't until later that Xun Yu even believed in Huang Quan, as if his danger was imminent. However, in Xun Yu's view, Liu Cong is also a prince, a warlord who rose in the melee, abandoning Cao Cao and joining Liu Cong not to mention Xinyi, Liu Cong can resist Cao Cao for a few years It's hard to say, rather than being captured by Cao Cao in Liu Cong's camp at that time, it is better to stay in Cao Ying, even if he is facing death!
For such a stubborn scholar, Huang Quan really had no way for a while, persuading Xun Yu to submit to Liu Cong was only one of the purposes of his trip, and he also hoped to meet the Son of Heaven to prepare him and be ready to flee to Xiangyang at any time. Now that Xun Yu is so stubborn, Huang Quan thought, that son of heaven, although he has been bullied by Cao Cao all these years, but if he really wants him to give up Xiangyang, a wealthy living area, is he willing to do it?
Hey, is the main father-in-law not strong enough? Mr. Xun is not optimistic about the lord, so what about the emperor? Will he be optimistic about the lord? Will you be willing to go with yourself?
"Mr. Xun, don't hide it...... Xun Yu didn't enter the oil and salt, Huang Quan had to make a last resort, threatening him with the lives of his clansmen.
Just as Huang Quan was about to do this, the housekeeper of the Xun family came in and handed Xun Yu a letter and a food box.
"Sir, the lord has a letter!"
"Huh?" Xun Yu took the letter and opened it in front of Huang Quan, the original intention was to tell Huang Quan, don't look at me and Cao Gong. But Cao Gong has just set out on the expedition, and there is a letter, and my Xun Yu still has a very high status in the eyes of Cao Gong!
But when he opened the letter and continued to read it, his face gradually changed. Because this letter is too strange, Cao Cao's army has just arrived in Hefei, and it is said that it is the time when morale is strong. But Cao Cao asked Xun Yu in his heart to set off for Hefei Labor Army in a few days!
Xun Yu has always been Cao Cao's personal expedition since he followed Cao Cao, he stayed in the rear, the two of them have their own strengths, Xun Yu has never disgraced his mission, and the rear is in good order! Lao Jun, Xun Yu's Lao Army, which rarely appears on the battlefield as soon as this army sets off? Xun Yu was puzzled.
Immediately, Xun Yu turned to the food box brought in by the housekeeper and asked, "This is?" β
"Oh, sir, it's from the Courier!"
Xun Yu originally thought that the housekeeper wanted to drive Huang Quan away, so he prepared a food box in advance, but he didn't expect it to be sent by Cao Gong, when did Cao Gong become so twisted?
When Xun Yu opened the food box, the three people present were stunned, Huang Quan even thought in his heart, this Cao Cao rewarded Xun Yu must be a good thing, this Xun Yu is also kind, he opened it in front of him, ah It seems that he has a good mouth.
But the next moment...... How come there is nothing? Huang Quan was stunned, and the housekeeper was stunned! Xun Yu fell into deep thought! What does Cao Gong mean by this?
The so-called food king's Lu bears the king's worries, although this Xun Yu is a Han courtier, in fact, it is Cao Cao who is supporting everyone!
After a long time, Xun Yu understood! Really let the yellow-mouthed child in front of him say it! Cao Gong still can't tolerate himself after all!
"It's okay, it's okay......" Xun Yu muttered to himself while looking at the empty food box stupidly.
"Butler, what's going on?" Huang Quan didn't understand the meaning, but turned to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper also shook his head in confusion.
"Sir, what does Gong Cao mean?"
"Hey, let you say it, Cao Gong still can't tolerate Xun!"
"What?" Although Huang Quan believed what Liu Cong said that Cao Cao and Xun Yu were not in harmony, he didn't expect to see such things with his own eyes, so he continued to gossip and asked: "Then what does this empty box mean?" β
"Cao Gong wants me to cut myself, don't affect him......"
"What? No, never! Sir is a daughter, never so! β
"Yes, sir, no!" The housekeeper was also anxious when he heard this, did his husband do less for Cao Cao? Why did Cao Cao want to kill his husband?
"Hey...... You don't know, although Cao Gong and I are nominally ministers of the same dynasty, in fact we are also monarchs and ministers. Now the king wants to die......"
"No! Mr. is the Great Han Donglian, how can he be like this because of the thoughts of the wicked man Cao Cao! Seeing this, Huang Quan didn't care about etiquette, and called Cao Cao's name in front of Xun Yu.
"Sir, it seems that my lord is not bad, the lord is worried that Mr. will be harmed by that Cao Cao, so he specially sent Quan to ......"
"Thank you General Zhengnan for your kindness, but the situation is like this, Xun is powerless to stop it, let you and your family master laugh, Xun is inconvenient to stay with you for a long time, please take care of yourself!" Xun Yu once again issued an eviction order.
"Sir, sir's fearlessness of life and death is admirable! It's just that Mr. doesn't think about the people of Yingchuan? Sir, if this is the end of your life, will Cao Cao let your people go? β
"Cao Gong just wants me to die alone, I guess I won't embarrass the Xun clan......" Xun Yu became uncertain when Huang Quan said this.
"Mr. is confused, how much credit did Mr. make back to Cao Cao, but that Cao Cao gave Mr. death because he asked Mr. to be loyal to the Han family. Wouldn't it be naΓ―ve to expect such a villain to treat your people well? β
"What about you?"
"Sir can transfer the clansmen to Xiangyang in advance, and then whether Sir wants to submit to my lord or obey Cao Cao's orders, Huang Quan will never stop him!"
"Easier said than done!" Of course, Xun Yu knew that if Cao Cao didn't plan to let his clansmen go, then it was unlikely that he would want to transfer his clansmen to Xiangyang.
"Sir, this matter is not difficult, at most ten days, at least five days, I can transfer the gentleman's people out of Xuchang safely!"
"Ten days?" Although Xun Yu had seen Huang Quan and others assassinate Jia Xu quickly, the Xun Yu people were not in Xuchang City, so how easy was it to talk about five to ten days?
"So far, I won't hide it from my husband. Long before Quan entered the city, my lord expected that Cao Cao would definitely be unfavorable to his husband. So I sent someone to Mr.'s hometown early, and now Mr.'s clan is afraid that they have crossed the Xuchang boundary to Xinye! β
"Huh?" Xun Yu understands now, where is this Liu Cong's rescue, it is simply a kidnapping, and he left Xuchang so quickly, how did he do it?
"Hehe, sir, you may not believe it. Cao Cao's gift of an empty food box is also expected by my lord. That's why I specially sent Quan to protect Mr. ......"
"What do you want?" Hearing that his clansmen had fallen into the hands of Liu Cong, Xun Yu couldn't help but be a little worried about them! It's not a pity to die by yourself, but if it really affects the clansmen, then ......
"Sir, my lord admires Mr.'s talent, and Mr. is a great minister of the Han Dynasty, and now the enemy is clear to me. Does the gentleman still insist on obeying Cao Cao's orders? Sir, there is one more thing you might as well tell him. My lord's army will arrive in Xuchang in a few days! β
"What? Are you saying that General Zhengnan is going to attack Xuchang? β
"It's not a sneak attack, my lord is a clan member of the Han family, and this time he came to Xuchang just to save the Son of Heaven, the lord used seventy or eighty thousand horses, and the defenders of Xuchang are only 10,000, and the defenders of Wancheng and Runan are afraid that they have already listened to the advice of our lord to ignore Xuchang for the time being. So within a month, we will be able to take Xuchang. So please help us! β
"Oh? What can Xun's dying man help? β
"Sir, you are smart, why are you confused today. You are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, not a courtier of his Cao Cao, so Cao Cao wants to kill you, which is his wishful thinking. My father-in-law hopes that Mr. will put the overall situation first and help the Son of Heaven escape from Xuchang? β
"You want to hold the Son of Heaven hostage?"
"Sir, that's a mistake! It was Cao Cao who held the Son of Heaven hostage. My lord came to rescue the Son of Heaven by edict! After Huang Quan finished speaking, he took out the secret edict that the emperor had given to Liu Cong a few years ago from his arms!
"Sir, it's not a good thing! An enemy army has appeared outside Xuchang City! General Xu Zhu asked Mr. to go and preside over the overall situation quickly! "A subordinate came in a hurry to report.
"So fast?" Xun Yu was thoughtful, Huang Quanzhi knew everything about his feelings, everything was under control, and he was not afraid of leaking his secrets anyway! And persuaded himself for most of the day.
"Sir! It's time to decide! Presumably, Cao Cao would never have dreamed that my lord's guild would suddenly send troops to attack Xuchang! For the sake of the people of Xuchang, it is better not to resist, otherwise it will be the people of Xuchang who will suffer from the siege of the city. And sir, don't expect Cao Cao to come back quickly, Xuchang is thousands of miles away from Hefei, even if it is not delayed for a moment, I am afraid that it will be half a month later, not to mention that my lord has ambushes along the way in Runan and other places......"
Huang Quan immediately exaggerated the strength of the attack on Xuchang, and Liu Cong mobilized nearly seventy or eighty thousand people, and Huang Quan said that all the forces of Yizhou and Jingzhou came to rescue the Son of Heaven!
You must know that Xuchang is only 10,000 people, and Xuchang has not been in battle for a long time, once the fight starts, Xun Yu is really worried.
"Sir, sir......" was in the middle of the conversation, and a hurried voice came from outside the door.
"What's the matter?"
"There was a riot at the east and south gates, and many people heard that a big war was coming, and asked to leave the city!"
"Nonsense! What did General Xu Zhu eat? "Although Xun Yu has no intention of working for Cao Cao at this moment, but I heard that there is chaos in Xuchang City, thinking that this must be Liu Cong's doing, it seems that this Huang Quan must have ambushed a lot of spies in Xuchang City!
"Sir, don't blame Xu Zhu! Ha ha...... Sir, Cao Cao has completely abandoned Mr., why should Mr. continue to work for Cao Cao. Quan hopes that Mr. will think twice, even if Mr. is unwilling to submit to Lord Wu, he must think about the Son of Heaven and the people of Xuchang. As long as Mr. protects the Son of Heaven from the city, my lord will definitely not attack Xuchang! β
"......" For Huang Quan, a lobbyist, Xun Yu is very speechless! He's going to take every opportunity! This is not Xun Yu was attacked when he stayed in Xuchang, but it was the most special one, the most critical last time was Cao Cao led his troops to attack Xuzhou, and as a result, Yanzhou was attacked by Lu Bu, Xun Yu was also ordered to garrison at that time, but at that time Xun Yu was full of confidence, and felt that Lu Bu would be defeated! But this time, Liu Cong has obviously been planning for a long time, preparing to cooperate with the outside world, and he has just received an empty food box sent by Cao Cao from thousands of miles......
