In winter, the sky was dark, snow gradually took off, and with it came the end of a certain phase of the war.

It is said that with Cao Cao's death in battle and Xun Yu's escape into Runan, the Yan army's attack on Cao Cao's territory became extremely easy. In November, the Son of Heaven and his entourage fled to the Yangtze River for a while...... While taking a breath for a while, the so-called traditional Central Plains region in the narrow sense completely fell into the hands of the Yan army.

Among them, Xiahoudun, who was besieged in Changyi by Gao Shun, Xu Huang, and Yu Ban, and Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, chose to surrender;

Cao Ren, who was besieged by Yang Kai, Tian Yu, Tian Chou, Zhang He and others in his hometown in Qian County, chose to commit suicide;

And somewhat unexpectedly, Xun Yu and some scholars and officials in the Central Plains had already gone to Xincai, but they chose to split after the news of the deaths of Cao Cao and Lu Bu...... Among them, most of the accompanying scholars suspected Gongsun Xun's political credibility at this time because of Lü Bu's death, so they were afraid for a while, so they chose to join Liu Bei, while Xun Yu himself returned with some scholars and formally surrendered to Jia Xu, who was stationed in Chen State.

In the face of Xun Wenruo's return, although Jia Wenhe, who knows people's hearts, also has some emotion, he can understand the other party's mood better.

It's actually quite simple:

First of all, Cao Cao died, Xun Yu naturally felt that there was no one left to save the Han family, or at this point, even if there seemed to be Liu Bei's option, Xun Wenruo would no longer be able to throw away Cao Mengde's label to find others.

Secondly, if you throw away the reason and knot that can convince him the most to revive the Han family, Xun Wenruo has no reason to oppose Gongsun Xun again, he wants to see Gongsun Xun's future...... As for the death of Lu Bu, who was haunted by the scholars of Yingchuan, Runan, Chenjun, Peiguo, and Liang, it is not even more true for him. It's not that Xun Wenruo brings his own incense and is not afraid of the smell, but he can't wait to replace his nephew Xun Gongda and watch Lu Bu die there with his own eyes to comfort Cao Mengde's spirit!

To put it bluntly, without Cao Mengde, what is he Xun Wenruo?

So far, the territory of the original Cao Cao and most of Xuzhou, as well as the Nanyang area, basically fell into the hands of the Yan army.

However, the winter snow arrived, the logistics were hard, and the Yan army's offensive inevitably stagnated slightly, but it allowed Liu Bei to calmly retreat to the original territory south of Suishui in Peiguo, and connected with Lusu who returned to Runan, and barely maintained it in the Huaibei area...... This is expected, although the decisive battle has been won, at least the Yan army north of the Huai River will definitely be able to start calmly, and even after the spring of next year, Liu Bei, who has lost most of the elite and naval army, will not even protect the Yangtze River defense line, but the process of starting alone will take a lot of time.

In addition, it will take a year or two to rectify the order, appease the people, and resume production, so that the land in Jiangbei can be truly recovered and gradually stabilized.

And at this gap, Gongsun Xun, who stopped in Xu County, suddenly took action. In the name of the lord of Yan State, he issued several wills in succession, and the content of the will could not be called earth-shattering, but almost every one of them could be regarded as powerful.

Said: Strike the prime minister of the Yan State, Lu Fan, increase the governor of Sima, give the flag and drum festival honor guard, act as the governor of Yangong Yu, Xu, Jing, and Yang four prefectures of military administration, command the front line of the whole army, comfort the people, act as an official, plan military merits, and go south to crusade against Liu Bei, who refuses to return the Son of Heaven, must take both Huai.

Said: Strike the trial with Qingzhou Mu, add the Marquis with military merits, and use the food as the money of 10,000 households, and return to Ye as the left minister.

Said: Strike Lou Guisi Prefecture Mu, add the Marquis of Lie with military merits, eat as the money of 10,000 households, and return to Ye as the right Xiang.

Said: Dismissed Jia Xu as the left general of the military division, added the marquis with military merits, and served as the prime minister of the food and the city.

Said: Xun You, the right general of the Jin Army, is the general of the military division, the deputy governor, and the war is undecided, and the Marquis of Jialie, regardless of the food and the money, is the deputy of the Great Sima, and he is still in charge of the army, and he is punished and rewarded for the military strategy.

Said: With Zhendong General Guan Yu as the pastor of Xuzhou, with military merits plus the Marquis, regardless of food and food as money, the commander of the eastern front is the same.

Said: For the time being, Nanyang belongs to Sizhou, and the general Cheng Pu of Zhennan is the pastor of Sizhou, and the Marquis of Jialie, regardless of the food and eup, is the commander of the Western Front.

Said: Out of the original Guangyang Taishou jujube is only Qingzhou herd.

Said: Out of the original Hanoi Taishou recruited as the pastor of Yuzhou.

Said: Out of the original Hedong Taishou Du Ji for Yanzhou pastor.

Said: Out of the original Hanyang Taishou Zhang is both Liangzhou pastor.

Said: All the generals and heroes in the army, from the Privy Council to Han Dang below, this battle leader has the exact wanted enemy chieftain level, prisoners, except for the battle dead such as Guo Yuan and Xu Xing, all of them are undecided, temporarily add the marquis to determine the name, and the rest of the food and yi as money, specific rewards, are all based on the subside of the war.

Guo Yuan and Xu Xing are all sealed.

All these wills are continuous, as if Yan Gonggong Sun Xun has already had a belly case. And compared to what generals enter the phase, feudal marquis and food, and state pastor generals are flying all over the sky, what Zhang Lu, Han Hao, Guo Jia, Jia Kui, Pang De, Ma Chao, Jiang Gan, Zhu Ling, Zhang Wei, Cheng Wu, Yang Jun, etc., these strange people are taken out to be Taishou, Siqing, Zhonglang General, Cavalry Captain, County Lieutenant and the like, basically just record the feeling of forgetting it.

In all fairness, this wave of things was basically expected, and suddenly nearly half of the territory and population increased, and there will definitely be this level of rewards and transfers.

Even, after a year or two, Jiangbei will be completely pacified, except for the marquis of the generals to determine the actual level and food, it is impossible to say that there will be no more states, and there may be rumors of rectifying the boundaries of the county, and there will be more high-level personnel dispatch at that time.

However, even so, some of these appointments are too sensitive, which still makes people think about it.

For example, Lu Fan's Grand Sima and Grand Governor, on behalf of the lord of the country, conquered and gave the flag and honor guard, which is simply a kind of super-level treatment...... You must know that Lu Ziheng doesn't need this thing at all now, everyone knows that he is the head of the ministers of Yan State, and coming out at this time to take a look at the overall situation is nothing more than Gongsun Xun's special grace to his 'meritorious person', which is to compensate for the death of his eldest son, to give him treatment beyond the courtier's etiquette, to give him extra military merits, and to let the poor bastard who couldn't afford to wear shoes return to his hometown with an absolute identity!

It's like after Cai Mao officially handed over Nanyang a few days ago, Gongsun Xun had to return to Ye's Lou Zibo and Cheng Pu together with tens of thousands of soldiers from Wancheng to the south to receive it, which was not necessary, but why not?

Everyone knows that Lou Zibo is a native of Nanyang, and everyone knows that he was ridiculed by the villagers because of his ambition when he was a teenager, and now everyone knows that he is the first person to assist Yan Gongding in Hebei, Guanxi, and the Central Plains with military strategy, and then he really came back with thousands of troops and horses behind him.

This kind of thing is really unnecessary, but if you do it, it will make people indulge.

And if Lu Fan's appointment is just to make people raise their eyebrows and shake on the surface, then after Lu Fan became the governor of the Great Sima, it was Jia Xu who jumped to become the prime minister, which made people can't help but talk about it, and even some of it is out of line......

After all, although it is said that whether it is merit or talent, Jia Wenhe definitely didn't say anything. But the problem is that Jia Wenhe, as a demote who only came over during the period of begging Dong, is too many 'suitable' prime minister candidates than him!

Isn't it good to move the three of them forward?

Isn't it okay for Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan to be two important ministers of the clan?

is that Dong Zhao and Xun Gongda are much stronger than Jia Xu, because once Dong Zhao or Xun Yu become prime ministers, or even just become one of the three phases, they will inevitably release a strong signal to the traditional scholars and clans in the Central Plains and the south, which can definitely greatly appease people's hearts!

And besides, not to mention that Dong Zhao has been acting as Zuo Xiang for a long time, I only say that Xun You's merits and talents, and even qualifications, are exactly the same as Jia Xu?

So what is Jia Xu?

In the midst of the discussions, especially in the hinterland of the Central Plains, which had the greatest reaction to this, some newcomers even privately said that it was Yan Gong who killed Lu Bu and caused some people to be suspicious, and Yan Gong deliberately did it in order to get rid of this disturbance.

Because after killing Lu Bu and Jia Xu as prime minister, everyone will care more about why Jia Xu is the prime minister, and no one will continue to care about Lu Bu...... Isn't Lu Bu just a martial artist? Cesspool...... That is, the pit has stumbled.

And the Prime Minister, that's the Prime Minister!

A poisoner in Kansai!

But Gongsun Xun is destined not to hear these golden and jade words, in fact, recently because of the full take of the Central Plains and a little willful to the 'Huan Emperor as if' Gongsun Xun did not even meet Xun Yu and Xiahou Xuan, so that on the day of the winter snow, the three thousand Yi led from the north, but went to the direction of the old capital Luoyang.

So far, the accompanying followers, especially Wang Cang, who has finally returned to his original position, have discussed and speculated, and once really thought that Gongsun Xun came here to do some political show, dig up a treasure, and then go further or something, he even prepared a poem in advance!

Of course, it is completely reasonable to have such a conjecture, after the first battle of Guandu, the Yan Gong world is not to say, the Han family is becoming more and more unrepresented, and actually fled from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, I heard that there was internal strife on the road, and the queen rebelled.

And besides, this trip to Yan Gong was accompanied by his eldest son, Gongsun Ding, who had already tied his hair on the battlefield, and no one could think about it.

However, this thought quickly disappeared, because after arriving in Luoyang, Yan Gong did stop and let people search the abandoned wells of Nangong and Beigong again, as if he really wanted to dig some treasure...... But after no result, his people actually set off immediately, and directly let the new Wen Protector Sima Yi and the Wu Protector Ma Dai continue to open the way, go straight to the direction of Hongnong, and cross the frozen river at the time of the lunar month, and come to Wangwu Mountain on the other side of the Yellow River.

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Yan Gong had come to worship his teacher Liu Zhaolie.

The sacrificial ceremony was particularly serious and formal, and the specifications were exceptionally high, Yan Gong himself personally took his eldest son and all the participants in the sacrifice to bathe and wait for seven days, and then chose a good day to offer three animals, which was for the Taijiao.

Then, surprisingly, after the sacrifice was completed, Yan Gong himself actually personally carried out Xiang Yu's broken blade, cut the meat of the three animals and distributed it to the eldest son Gongsun Ding and many accompanying righteous servants to wash the meat, saying that it should not be wasted.

This is absolutely nothing in the previous etiquette, but at this time, in addition to Wang Xiang, who has always been mute, and Han Hao, who is loyal and about to become the Taishou of Hedong, the highest status is only Sima Yi and Ma Dai, who have just served as the protectors, and no one dares to question Yan Gong, and even Wang Cang took the initiative to explain that this is Yan's open and simple and practical style, and the sacrifice should be like this in the future!

It's like the story of Han Gaozu forcibly calling himself the Black Emperor!

In this regard, although the entourage of righteous servants and the scholars in the shogunate do not matter...... Because just like the gods of ancient Greece only used to smell the aroma, the sacrifices were eaten by the sacrifices, for the waste of sacrifices, the Confucian sages must have discussed, especially in the past few decades, the days are not as good as day by day, the festival funeral, simple ceremony is more and more respected, Ye Xia has always paid attention to a practical, but it will not cause everyone to be dissatisfied.

And Yan Gong's own explanation is very good - with Liu Shizhi's generosity and open-mindedness, if he really survives, he would be happy to see his students take a group of young people to eat his meat!

All in all, things are still going well, but Wang Cang has been jumping up and down in the past few days, forcibly explaining, and forcing Yan to do everything is right, which inevitably provokes the slander of some upright people.

But soon, this slander also disappeared completely when the three unexpected important ministers suddenly arrived at Wangwu Mountain in Hedong.

The person who came was Tian Feng, the envoy of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Gongsun Fan, the general of Zhenbei, and Gongsun Yue, the general of Zhenxi, and Gongsun Yue even brought Gongsun Zhan, the eldest son of Gongsun Zhan, who lived in Chang'an, to continue here.

These three people, two set off from Yexia and one from Liangzhou, and they all arrived on the second day after the sacrifice was completed, and they must have been summoned by Yan Gong.

"Your Highness has done three things wrong!" As soon as Tian Yuanhaofu arrived, he just went to take a shower and change his clothes to show his solemnity, and immediately performed his duties in Liujiabao under Wangwu Mountain with a black face.

"Yuan Hao, please speak."

Liu Song went to Yexia as an official, and Gongsun Xun simply occupied other people's houses in a grand manner, and did not wear shoes when drinking on the kang in the back house.

However, as Gongsun Xun and Tian Feng began to talk, the four people who had not worn shoes before, that is, Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Yue, Wang Xiang, and Han Hao, immediately got off the kang and put on their shoes, and only Gongsun Xun continued to wear a big hat on the kang alone, watching Gongsun Ding and Gongsun Xu turn over the fire and warm wine in front of the kang.

Maybe it's because he wasn't in the court, or maybe it's because these three things have been held in his heart for a long time, so Tian Feng didn't care about these subsections, and immediately faced each other below:

"First, how can it be repeated at the same time, if it is a serious place inside and outside the country? It's not that Lu Xiang can't be the governor of the Great Sima, nor is it that Jia Wenhe, Zhenzhengnan, and Lou Zibo can't be the prime minister, but why can't they be in a little order, just in case of accidents? Half a month ago, Da Sima had not arrived in front of the army, and His Royal Highness had returned to the north, what if there was a change on the front line? And if there is still a Xun Gongda who can dominate the Chinese army on the front line, before the minister and the general Zhenbei came out, the seven phases of Ye went to three, and the three new ministers were all in Henan at that time, and there was a gap of more than ten days in between, and the most critical central three phases were actually only one Dong Jizhou, who acted as the left minister! If something big happens, who's going to deal with it?! ”

Gongsun Xun thought seriously for a while, but he was solemn: "What Yuan Hao said is very right, this matter is lonely...... Originally, I thought that the Queen Mother was in Hebei, I came to Hedong, and Liu Bei had no field soldiers and horses on the front line, everything was stable, and the overall situation was not to worry, but I forgot that the system of generals was related to the country, and it was really not so hasty, and we should be on guard against it in the internal system. According to what you said, there will be a change of phases in the future, one of the three phases of the center must not go to the second for a while, and the second is that the seven phases must not go to the third for a while...... to become customized. ”

Tian Feng's face softened a little, but he continued to say solemnly: "Second, His Royal Highness uses the state to act as the representative of the world to carry out democracy in the world, and naturally has the power and responsibility to appoint and dismiss officials in the world, and the people of the world will not question the appointment and dismissal of His Highness, especially this appointment and dismissal involves the newly acquired land in the Central Plains, and His Royal Highness also has the right to dispose of it in the south, but many officials are still sent to Hebei for appointment, or leave from Hebei...... Since His Royal Highness has set up three provinces, six departments, four Taiwans and twelve temples, he should respect the system a little, at least there must be a record and a process to go to Yexia quickly and then pass on the order, why not the white horses have gone away with documents in all directions, and the governors of the state pastor have their own? ”

Gongsun Xun hesitated, but still bowed his head again: "What Yuan Hao said makes sense...... This matter should indeed be delegated to Ye as much as possible, but please Yuan Haonian was still wartime before, and the battlefield was huge, so there was no need to be too harsh. Because some things are inconclusive, it may not be who is right and who is wrong, it is nothing more than a theory of weight, and Lone has already made up his mind that after this battle, he still has to return the weight to the center as much as possible. ”

Tian Feng slowly twisted his beard and his head, and then became serious again: "Your Highness, what is Lu Bu's crime?!" ”

Gongsun Xun quietly looked at the wine bottle that was already warm but was not served, and suddenly smiled: "Not guilty!" ”

"Why kill him if he is not guilty?" Tian Feng pressed hard.

Gongsun Xun leaned back on the earthen wall facing the window behind him, raised his hand and motioned to his nephew Gongsun to serve warm wine, but only after taking a sip of hot wine did he say with a straight face: "Personal grudge!" Not an example! ”

Tian Feng was angry: "It's a personal grudge, it's not an example, why did you kill it?" Does Your Highness think that the theory of missteps can cover up the past? ”

"Extremely resentful!"

"What's the resentment?"

"Has Yuan Hao ever heard a poem?" Gongsun Xun's face remained unchanged, and he suddenly raised his bottle to face each other.

"He Shi?"

"When you sing about wine, life is geometric! For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang. "Sitting on the kang, Gongsun Xun, who was leaning against the earthen wall, suddenly raised his hand and raised the bottle, facing the southeast, but as soon as he spoke, the steaming and steaming house was quiet. Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far. ”

In the silence of Yaque, Gongsun Xun continued to raise his glass and recite: "Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples." I have guests, drummers and shengs.

It's as clear as the moon, when can it be done? Worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off. The more strange it is, the more vain it exists. Talking about the old kindness. ”

Hearing this, almost all the people in the house who are a little bit educated have woken up to the fact that Yan Gong is missing Cao Cao, and talking about it from Qi Kuo is even more Yan Gong recalling that he visited Cao Cao and received hospitality in Qian County.

But Tian Feng was still angry, and seemed to continue to question Gongsun Xun after he finished reciting.

However, Gongsun Xun lowered his head and drank the glass of wine in his hand, but he took a long breath, held the empty bottle and raised his voice word by word, and read out the last four sentences: "The moon and stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south." Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed? The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong vomits and feeds, and the world returns to the heart! ”

The house was completely silent, except for the snowflakes outside the window, reminding everyone in the house that this was not a moonlit night, it was a snowy day.

"Yuan Hao, is it good poetry?" Gongsun Xun closed the cup opposite.

"Absolutely wonderful!" Tian Feng let out a long sigh, but he still wanted to continue to say something.

"This is what Gu is going to recite in Qiao County after he slaughtered Cao Mengde!" Gongsun Xun immediately looked at each other. And at the beginning of this year, when the war clouds were thick, Gu also wrote this poem to Cao Mengde, telling him that if he wins, he must also chant it three times for Gu Hengli on the Tongque Terrace under Yexia! And now, Lone can only recite it once in the air here, and then throw a cup in the snow. ”

As he spoke, Gongsun Xun didn't look back, and directly threw the wine bottle in his hand from the side back window with his backhand.

"The minister knows that His Royal Highness and Cao Mengde are close friends, and he hates Lu Bu for meddling, but he still shouldn't do it." Tian Feng became more and more helpless, but also more and more resolute.

"Lonely knows that it's wrong," Gongsun Xun suddenly said with a smile, but he motioned to his eldest son to send another bottle of wine. "Looking back now, how can Lu Bu not know how lonely he is? This matter is somewhat related to Lone's own carelessness, and he may think that Lone hinted at him for this! But if I let Lone re-elect, maybe it won't be killed, but I still have to cut it with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in my heart. Yuan Hao, don't take it as an example! ”

"Why don't you take it as an example?" Tian Feng shook his head, his dissatisfaction overflowing.

"This is exactly what Gu wanted to say to Yuan Hao, you can hear things......" Gongsun Xun continued to take a sip of hot wine, but smiled calmly at Tian Feng. If you talk about receiving people's hearts, you really don't want to accept people's hearts at this time! ”

Tian Feng's complexion changed greatly, but he wanted to stop talking.

"Why did Yuan Hao give up halfway?" Gongsun Xun seemed to be smiling. "Didn't you just keep refusing to give up? Is there something you don't dare to say? ”

"Your Highness." Tian Feng sighed for a while: "Actually, there are four things that the minister wants to really inquire about on this trip, and the reason why there are only three left is that he thought about it for a while on the road, and felt that there was something that the minister should ask, so he should avoid suspicion." But at this time, His Royal Highness is so honest, if the minister does not ask, it seems to be derelict in his duty. ”

"Is it Wen He as the prime minister?" Gongsun Xun seemed to have expected it, and the Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan brothers, and a group of staff members also looked subtle, but Wang Xiang was born as a slave, and his mind has always been on the literary system.

"Yes, yes." Tian Feng sighed for a while. "Actually, since ancient times, the world has been an industry with one surname, and nothing else, this prime minister's appointment or phase should be the dictatorship of the country, and others should not intervene, but at this time, the minister still wants to take advantage of this Liu Gong and privately, and ask His Royal Highness privately, why Jia Wenhe?"

"Just as Yuan Hao guessed, and just as Lone just hinted, Lone just wants to use this to tell those who are lucky that Yan Zhixia has nothing to do with their generation!" When he said the first half of the sentence, Gongsun Xun was still smiling, but in the second half of the sentence, he was already awe-inspiring. "Lone would rather unify for three years at night, and never make peace with them, in exchange for them giving Liu Biao and Liu Yan away! Because in troubled times, taking the right path is sometimes more important than taking the fast road! Besides, it's come to this, do you really think that the world is theirs?! Eight years of hard work and non-stop war, is it eight years of war in vain?! ”

Tian Feng was silent for a while, but many people couldn't help but look confused under the horror, even Zhuge Liang frowned for a while, but Sima Yi sighed slightly in his heart, and then lost his mind in the corner.

"This matter is indeed wronged by Zhengnan, in fact, according to the original intention of seniority and loneliness, he should have succeeded him as prime minister; is also wronged Gongda, if it is judged by Kuang Shi, it is time for him to make up for the ...... of Ye" Gongsun Xun continued to raise a bottle and drink. "But the world is uncertain, and it is not good for them to be in this position for a lonely day! But they should also understand my difficulties, and when the world is too peaceful, there will always be a place for them. ”

Tian Feng finally had nothing to say.

The snow was falling heavily outside the window, and on the second day after Tian Feng and the two important ministers of the clan arrived, Yan Gong communicated with the three of them but issued a new will:

With Gongsun Fan leading Pingzhou Mu, he went to Liaodong to take up his post, replaced the right general to lead Pingzhou Mu Zhao Bao to the 'center', dismissed the right general Zhao Bao Pingzhou Mu, and 'entered the dynasty' as the main envoy of the Yushitai!

Immediately, he added the title of governor of Zhenxi General Gongsun Yuedu, Tun Chang'an, and the military administration of Yong, Liang, Zang, and Yizhou Prefectures; then dismissed Tian Feng Yu Shitai as the envoy, became the pastor of Yizhou, and added the title of deputy governor; With the title of champion general Zhao Yunjia deputy governor, he is still in Hanzhong.

In the end, the eldest son of the Duke of Jiayan, Gongsun was designated as the general of the five officials, Tuntian was in Wudu, and was governed by Sun Yue, the governor of the Western Front, Tian Feng and Zhao Yun, the deputy governor of Liangzhou, and the Wudu Taishou Pang De!

By the way, he also became neighbors with Guo Jia, the new Taishou of Hanzhong, Ma Chao, the governor of Hanzhong, and Jiang Gan, the governor of the southwest of Longxi (set up for the Qiang people).

As soon as the news comes out, not to mention that the world will inevitably shake again, Yizhou will inevitably be frightened, and Yexia will inevitably rejoice, but Pingzhou, which has been hollowed out, does not know what the reaction is. On this day, since Gongsun Xun set the strategy of Yizhou, he did not wait for his eldest son to return to Ye for the New Year, so that when the cold winter was in the moon, he personally sent his eldest son to 'cross' the river, and prepared to let him go to work with Gongsun Yue and Tian Feng.

The new Wuguan Zhonglang will only have three accompanying friends, all of whom are personally designated by Gongsun Xun, Wang Cang, Zhuge Liang, and Gongsun Xu......

In the cold winter, the Yellow River froze, and he understood the many righteousness of the real protagonist of this trip to Hedong, and watched Wang Cang and Zhuge Liang leave the team with his son's stepfather's five senses, and the latter, at this time, was bowing down in front of his father in the snow and asking for guidance.

"There's nothing to teach." In the wind and snow, Gongsun Xun helped his son up by the river, and he couldn't help laughing, but he said it very thoroughly. "A generation has the responsibility of a generation, and no matter how bad a father is, he can give you a peaceful world...... This trip is to say that since you tie your hair, you should also get in touch with some practice, and the world is not too peaceful, and you can't be crowned with no military merits at all, so you have this responsibility. When you go to the place, do things in Tuntian, just follow the instructions of your boss, and it will not be your turn to interfere with anything else. ”

This was said too bluntly, and the surrounding officials, subordinates, and righteousness jumped from their eyelids, but after Gongsun Ding was careful with his head, he stopped talking in the snow.

"If you have something to say, say it." Gongsun Xun said disapprerovitically. "Do you still have something to hide from your father and me? As for these people, they are all your elders and friends, and at your age, there is no shame in what you think. ”

"My lord, that's right." Gongsun Ding tried his best to salute when he heard this. "Before Yuan Shao was defeated, the lord handed over the important matter to Lu Xiang, and privately took me to see Lu Yu's father, that is, one of the two mentors of the adult, the villain's master, and now he has brought me to worship another mentor...... Such a move must be to let the villain learn something before leaving. Adult, not to mention duties, you should always have some expectations for villains, right? ”

"It's nature, don't you understand it?" Gongsun Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The villain really doesn't understand it this time." Gongsun Ding raised his head and replied seriously. "After all, Zhaolie Gong has been dead for many years, and the villain cannot be taught directly, and although the adult teaches by word and deed, he doesn't seem to really put out what he wants to teach...... The day before yesterday in the house, the villain always felt that his father obviously did not say some things thoroughly. ”

"Actually, it's just a lack of explanation." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh at his eldest son. "I brought you here to meet the two mentors, just to make you a hero."

Gongsun Ding's heart tightened, but he looked up blankly, like that: "Dare to ask my lord, what is a hero?" ”

Gongsun Xun looked at the sky and sighed. "I also want to ask you, what is a hero in your eyes?"

Don't talk about Wang Cang, Zhuge Liang and Gongsun Dingdu tacitly kept silent.

"Before the troubled times, the word hero actually mostly refers to people who have the ability...... If this is argued, Guan Yunchang is a hero, Zhengnan is a hero, Lu Xiang, Lou Xiang, Yigong, Ling Ming, and Su Qing are also heroes, and Ma Mengqi and Lu Fengxian are also heroes. Gongsun Xun stood in the snow with his knife in his hand, and really asked and answered himself. But since the late stage of the Spirit Emperor, the scene of the end times has appeared, and the so-called heroes are more than talent, because talent alone is not enough to deal with the troubled times, and it will be a disaster for the world. ”

Tian Feng, Gongsun Yue, Han Hao, and many older people around sighed, even the always steady Wang Xiang Wang Xibo actually sighed softly, and the rest of the young people became more serious, the latter did not experience the process of order collapse like the former, but also saw and experienced the sinister of the worst times in his youth and childhood.

Wang Cang and Zhuge Liang were both orphans at that time, and Sima Yi's family experienced Dong Zhuo's rebellion at close range.

"And it was about when I was in Youzhou Tuntian, this Yizhou Makita Toyota Yuanhao, who was by my side today, saw the chaos in Hebei, the people were displaced, and there were millions of bandits, and he was also very sighed, but he sent me a letter through the Amway...... The letter also speaks of heroes. At this point, Gongsun Xun turned his head and asked Tian Feng. Yuan Hao, do you remember what you said at the time? ”

"Why don't you remember?" Tian Feng smiled bitterly. "Today's chaos is great, and heroes rise together, and there will be a life that can stop the chaos in the world...... In other words, the minister saw that the troubled times were unavoidable, but he finally changed his mind, thinking that when the troubled times came, those who could be called heroes could not only be talented people, but people who could stop the 'chaos in the world'! ”

"It's not just Yuan Hao." Gongsun Xun also sighed more and more. "At that time, Dong Gongren and Cheng Zhongde were not actually my subordinates, but they all had similar words to me! At that time, these smartest people in the world knew that the troubled times had come, and they also knew that the world needed them, and someone should be ready to clean up the chaos, so they thought that the people who could clean up the troubled times were the real heroes! And they can't do it themselves, or they don't want to do it themselves, so they have to find similar characters and help those people to help them, in order to calm the troubled times and restore the peace of the world. ”

"That's what my father is!" Gongsun Ding almost blurted out. "The three state pastors have all identified their fathers!"

"Perhaps." Gongsun Xun calmly said slowly. "But now it seems that I am not the only hero in the world...... That's what I didn't say on this trip! Ah Ding, many people don't know why I attach great importance to some people among my subordinates, just as I attach great importance to Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande among the princes...... Today, I will tell the truth, if it were not for me, some of my subordinates would do their best to help others calm the troubled times, so although they live under others, they can be called real heroes! And without me, Cao and Liu are almost the only two of the princes who can work hard to determine the troubled times with the posture of the master, because they are the few people among the princes who have found the right way, so they are real heroes! ”

As soon as these words came out, the old people around them were a little shocked, and some young people were even opened in a trance like an initiation.

"Such as Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, they seem to be tyrannical for a while, but their path was wrong from the beginning, they are not enough to determine the troubled times, but will only deepen the troubled times, so it is not their turn to die as a hero!"

"Such as Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Shi Xie, Sun Jian, and even your grandfather, they may be able to reluctantly determine one side, or they may be independent of the world, but they don't know where the road is, so they can only stop and watch, so it is not enough to determine the troubled times, and they are not destined to be real heroes!"

"And Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and the like are simply confined to power positions, and they don't want to find a road, and they have nothing to do with heroes!"

"Only Liu Bei and Cao Cao, these two people have really found a way, maybe far behind me, or they may have their own personal ambitions, but they are not delayed as my real opponents, and they are also heroes!" Gongsun Xun taught his son. "I took you to see Master Lu and brought you to worship Master Liu, in fact, there is only one meaning, that is, I hope you can understand, even if you are only destined to catch up with one tail of the troubled times, I also hope that you can be a person who is determined in the troubled times in your heart, and be a hero!"

Gongsun Ding did not dare to slack off, and immediately led Wang Cang, Zhuge Liang and Gongsun Xu to bow down to the ground together, claiming to be taught. Seeing this, the surrounding officials, subordinates, and righteous servants did not dare to slack off, and from Gongsun Yue down, they worshiped in the snow one after another.

Gongsun Xun sighed slightly, but waved his hand, signaling his eldest son to get up and go on the road immediately, and after the other party disappeared into the wind and snow, he looked at the snow, but finally turned around and went north.

Snowflakes are numerous, thousands of miles away from the Yellow River, north of the Huai River, on the bank of Suishui, like the place where catkins have taken off, one of the true heroes identified by Gongsun Xun himself, and also the only hero of the southern princes after Cao Cao's death, General Zuo led Yuzhou Mu Liu Bei, but he was also talking with his confidant Lu Su Lu Zijing in the snow with warm wine on the river.

Seeing that Lu Su talked about the loss of the war, there was a lot of sadness, but Liu Bei suddenly interrupted the other party and chanted a poem on the spot: "The family affairs of the victorious and defeated soldiers are unexpected, and Bao is ashamed and ashamed to be a man." Jiangdong's children are talented, and their comeback is unknown...... Why should Zijing be worried about the defeat in the war? ”

Lu Su was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help but be infected, and then asked a little uplifted: "This is the poem of the lord?" ”

"Definitely." Liu Bei threw down his chopsticks and replied calmly. "This is when I was a young student, I was discussing King Xiang with my brother Sun Wenqi, and he made it casually...... There is another song, do you want to listen to it? ”

"Willing to listen!"

"Life is a hero, death is also a ghost. So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong! Liu Bei lifted the bottle and drank it all. Which one does Zijing like? ”

Lu Zijing was already in a trance, how could he answer?

————I'm the dividing line of snow————

"Since Taizu has broken Cao and is about to return, there is a priest beside the road to kowtow and ask for advice, and advise: 'Xu County has the spirit of a king, and can be called a king here.'" Taizu said awe-inspiringly: "Luoyang has the emperor's spirit. The soldier was stunned and did not dare to speak. and go to the east of the river, and return to the ether prison to worship the ancestor Liu Gong, and the left and right are more and more uncertain. Later, Zhenbei General Gongsun Fan Zhi smiled when he heard it: "I don't know my brother's ambition? Taizu was calm: "In the past, Liu Xuande recorded Jiangnan Yuefu's "Midnight Four O'clock Song", and he was very lonely. 'Fan Bai, please.' Taizu said: "The ice is three feet thick, and the snow covers thousands of miles." My heart is like a pine and cypress, what is the gentleman's affection? Fan said goodbye, so he didn't ask. —"The World Speaks New Words". Speech
