Xun Yu got into the carriage and lowered the curtain. Xun Chen looked at him, put down the scroll in his hand, and smiled with a knowing smile on the corner of his mouth.

"How?"

Xun Yu glanced at the scroll in his hand, took it and glanced at it, a little surprised. "New article?"

"Yes, Xin George just sent it back, I asked someone to copy a copy, and I have nothing to do, so I have the right to cool off." Xun Chen crossed his hands, placed them horizontally in front of his abdomen, and leaned against the wall of the car. "Now it's not only this four-wheeled carriage, but even Nanyang's research articles have become a thing of the past, everyone wants it, Sun Ce's name can stop children's crying, you still ask Liu Bei what Sun Ce is like, Liu Bei won't say that you are teasing him?"

"He's slow to react." Xun Yu said lightly: "It's a pity that Lu Zi is such a good Confucian, but he taught Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei two students. I hope his son is not like this, and it would be good if he could pass on some knowledge to him. ”

"What's so strange about this, maybe he will rely on these two students to leave a name in history in the future, just as the ancestor Xun Qing is a great Confucian, and the most famous students are Li Si and Han Fei. Planting melons may not get melons, and planting beans may not get beans, and sometimes they will be crooked. Liu Bei didn't say it, Gongsun Zan can fight with the alliance leader like this, can Emperor Wu do without him in the future? ”

Xun Yu lifted the curtain and glanced out. "Brother, don't be quick to speak for a while, and cause no trouble. In my opinion, although the alliance leader has a heart, he will not dare to make it public for a while. When the time comes, false talk will only bring disaster. ”

Xun Chen smiled and said nothing.

Xun Yu briefly told Liu Bei about the meeting. Xun Chen shook his head. "In this way, this person is not even better than Gongsun Zhan."

"Not necessarily, Gongsun Chan is rigid and easy to break, although Liu Bei is brave, he has the tenacity that Gongsun Chan does not have. It's just that this person is not good at studying, has great ambitions, refuses to live under others for a long time, acts hastily and recklessly, and probably has a detour to go. and has no ability to control it, even if it is a coincidence, it is difficult to achieve it for a long time. ”

Xun Chen nodded in agreement. "Standing at thirty is not something that everyone can do." He lightly tapped his palm with the scroll, and after a while, he said, "Wen Ruo, are you still planning to leave?" ”

Xun Yu's expression was calm. "I'm going to go to Chang'an to have a look."

Xun Chen sighed. "Well, now that you've made up your mind, I'll take the opportunity to speak to the Alliance Leader. The princes of Chang'an were waiting for his reply, and he was also trying to find a suitable person to go to Chang'an. But Chang'an is surrounded by the Xiliang people, and the war is about to break out, so you have to be very careful. ”

"Thank you, brother." Xun Yu also sighed faintly, leaned against the wall of the car, looked through the window, and looked at the bustling flow of people outside, his face was calm, but there was a faint sadness in his eyes.

——

Liu Bei didn't listen to Xun Yu's advice after all, nor did he listen to Lu Zhi, he was reluctant to Qingzhou, let alone Yanzhou. He began to have frequent contact with Yuan Tan, and soon got along with Yuan Tan.

A few days later, news came from Yanzhou. In the battle with the Yellow Turban Army, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, was killed in battle, and the Yellow Turban situation revived. At the same time, the Montenegrin Army also sent a large army led by Yu Poison and Ku Chieftain to respond, and it had penetrated deep into Dongjun, and the forward reached the area of Dongwuyang.

Yanzhou is in critical condition.

Yuan Shao did not dare to be careless, immediately convened a civil and military discussion, and finally decided to let Yuan Tan rush to Yanzhou immediately. At the same time, he asked Liu Bei to be the Taishou of Dongjun and asked him to block the Montenegrin Army together with Zhu Ling, who was stationed in Sujuo. Liu Bei was relieved, although he lost the history of Yanzhou, he didn't have to face Tian Kai face to face. This greatly reduced his psychological burden.

Before leaving, he received a message: Xun Yu, as Yuan Shao's envoy, left Yecheng.

After Xun Yu went to visit the post house, Liu Bei visited Xun Yu many times in the name of a return visit, and wanted to ask for advice in person again, but Xun Chen blocked him. Xun Chen said that Xun Yu was not in good health and was not suitable for visitors. At that time, he thought that it was Xun Yu's celebrity faction, and he had to invite him a few more times, but now he knows that Xun Yu has already had the idea of going, and he sent him an invitation at that time. He didn't accept it, Xun Yu naturally didn't want to say anything more to him.

Liu Bei was lost for a long time when he missed a famous man known as Wang Zuozhicai, but he quickly put these unhappiness behind him, and enthusiastically embarked on a journey with Yuan Tan and rushed to Dongjun.

——

Xun Yu traveled all the way west, carefully avoiding the Yellow Turban Army, but despite this, he was in danger many times. Fortunately, he didn't have any belongings, his attitude was cooperative, and the Yellow Turban Army didn't embarrass him, so he was finally in danger.

Half a month later, he rushed to Luoyang and asked to see Zhu Jun, the chief lieutenant. Outside the gate of the Taiwei's Mansion, he saw a four-wheeled carriage.

Zhu Jun is tall and has gray hair, and his years of fighting career have made him a little more murderous between his eyebrows. I heard that Xun Yu was Xun Shuang's subordinate, he was very polite and ordered someone to lead Xun Yu to the lobby. Here, Xun Yu met Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong also just arrived in Luoyang. On the order of Sun Ce, he rushed to Luoyang to meet Zhu Jun and explain the situation in Yuzhou. However, he has a lot of tasks and is delayed a lot of time on the road. First of all, he inspected the three levels and communicated with Li Tong. Then, he stayed in Yingchuan for more than ten days, and accompanied by Pang Shanmin, he inspected several counties to understand the situation. Li Tong and Pang Shanmin both know that Zhang Hong is just a long history, but he has won Sun Ce's trust and cannot be taken lightly.

After coming to Luoyang, Zhu Jun was very puzzled by Zhang Hong's attachment to Sun Ce, but he was helpless. Even if he is a lieutenant, he can't force Zhang Hong to stay. However, his impression of Sun Ce has changed because of this, which can make Zhang Hong fall in love, at least it shows that Sun Ce is not so scoundrel.

Announcing their names, Zhang Hong and Xun Yu were very surprised. Xun Yu has long known Zhang Hong's name, and Chen Lin, the main bookkeeper next to Yuan Shao, is a native of Sheyang, Guangling, who is from the same county as Zhang Hong, and often talks about Zhang Hong. Chen Lin is famous for his articles, but he often humbs himself that his articles are not as good as Zhang Hong, admitting that he is just a small witch, and Zhang Hong is a big witch, so almost everyone around Yuan Shao knows Zhang Hong's name. Yuan Shao himself is also clear. At the beginning, the general He Jin couldn't get rid of Zhang Hong, and he was angry about it, but he persuaded him. He himself sent someone to invite Zhang Hong, but there was no reply.

Xun Yu was faintly uneasy in his heart, if Yuan Shao knew that Zhang Hong was attached to Sun Ce, what would Yuan Shao think? From another point of view, does Zhang Hong's choice of Sun Ce mean that Yuan Shao is not the master of the world in his eyes?

"Zhang Jun is from Runan, but he has ever been to Yingchuan?" Xun Yu bowed down and asked.

Zhang Hong smiled: "Xun Jun is worried about his family, right?" Haven't you already moved your family to Yecheng, what else is there to worry about? Yingchuan suffered a military disaster in the first two years, and was greatly harmed by the Xiliang soldiers, but in the past two years, General Sun's father and son have guarded it, and peace has been restored. You don't have to worry, you can go home and settle down at any time. May you want to hide and follow your convenience. ”

Xun Yu said goodbye. "Thank you Zhang Jun, although the family moved away, he survived, after all, the homeland is difficult to leave, and the ancestral tombs are all there, and it is difficult to leave the heart for thousands of miles. Having General Sun's father and son guarding the land and the people is a blessing for the county. Yu's qualifications are ugly, and his reading and literature are not enough, if he can plough the township, teach one or two children, and pass on the virtues of his ancestors, his wish is enough. ”

Zhang Hong laughed and said to Zhu Jun: "Zhu Gong, haven't you always wanted to ask for talent?" There's one in front of you. This Xun Wenruo was called Wang Zuozhicai by He Hao, and Sun was full of praise when he mentioned him, Zhu Gong must not miss it. ”

Zhu Jun stroked his beard and said slowly: "Since Wang Zuozhicai is talented, it should naturally be sent to the imperial court to assist the Son of Heaven, how can people and ministers drive it." Xun Wenruo, do you think this is the truth? ”

Xun Yu smiled and said goodbye.
