When Liu Kuan heard this, he was overjoyed and pounced, so frightened that the four of them took a step back. Liu Kuan was stunned, stopped his pace, took the hand of the older one and laughed: "When I heard the name of Daxian, my heart was shocked, rude, and rude." He freed up another hand and pulled one beside him, "But Wen Ruo, Gongda, and Boning brothers in person?" Liu Kuan forgot Mao Jue's words, so he didn't mention it.

The four of them were very moved, seeing Liu Kuan's gaffe but revealing his true feelings, and listening to Liu Kuan shouting out his words, they were all moved.

A scholar of about twenty-three or four years old stepped forward and bowed to Liu Kuan, and said: "In Xia Maoji, the word filial piety is first, and I have seen thistle!" Liu Kuan didn't remember Mao Jue's words, but he knew that Mao Jue was a great talent, so he bowed to Mao Jue embarrassedly and returned the salute, "Mr. is polite!" ”

Liu Yu saw that Liu Kuan was so courteous to several people, and he had heard Liu Kuan mention Xun Yu and Xun Yu before, so he stepped forward, greeted a few people, and asked the twenty-seven or eight-year-old Confucian who called himself Xun Yu just now: "Virtuous nephew, but you came here on the order of Brother Ciming?" Brother Ciming can come with me? ”

Ciming is Xun Shuang's cousin. Xun Yu is Xun Shuang's nephew, and Xun Yu, although he is six years older than Xun Yu, is Xun Yu's nephew.

Xun Yu shook his head, "Uncle Jia is still in Luoyang, and we didn't come by order." Seeing this, Liu Kuan thought to himself, since you are here, I don't care if you are ordered to come or not, don't think about leaving when you come. Holding Mao Yu with his left hand, and pulling Xun Yu with his right hand, "Four gentlemen, it's cold outside, please hurry up, talk in the lobby." So saying, he walked into the courtyard.

Seeing that Liu Kuan was so frank, Xun Yu and the others smiled, and came to the lobby surrounded by everyone.

Liu Yu invited Xun Yu to sit down, the oldest of the four was Xun Yu, about thirty-three or four years old, and the youngest was twenty-two or three years old. Xun Yu saw that Liu Yu and the others had already stood in front of the chair and were about to sit down, so he led the three of them into the center of the hall and bowed down to Liu Yu, "I can wait to see the envoy to ask for a virtuous order, visit each other, come to an appointment, and hope that the envoy will be contained." ”

Liu Yu nodded, but he was not familiar with the four of them, and was thinking about how to place the four of them, only to see Liu Kuan get up and say to himself: "The four gentlemen are all great talents in the world, Gongda can be engaged in Bing Cao, Wen Ruo is in the middle of the rule, Bo Ning is engaged in the capital official, and Xiaoxian can be Bo Cao." Liu Yu agreed, and helped the four of them up to their seats. Bing Cao is engaged in the main military affairs; The main Cao Shu in the governance of the people, in the middle of the affairs; Metropolitan officials are engaged in the investigation of hundreds of officials who have violated the law; Bo Cao's main money, grain, and books are all senior adjutant officials of the state pastor. The four of them saw that they had just arrived in Youzhou, and they were all impressed.

However, it was said that Xun Yu was originally the palace guard, and Xun Yu was the waiter of the Yellow Gate, but because he saw Dong Zhuo's disorderly government, he abandoned the official and returned to his hometown. Xun Yu believes that Yingchuan is the land of four wars, if the world changes will often be invaded, this suggests that the villagers move to Jizhou, and then see Liu Yu's father and son's order to seek talent, so he moved to Youzhou with his clan for refuge. Because of his friendship with Man Pet, Mao Jue and others, he made an appointment to vote together.

Xun Yu said to Liu Kuan: "Master Hou, I heard that Yingchuan Guo Jia, Dongjun Cheng Yu, Huainan Liu Ye, and Wucheng Lu Qian all have talents for governing the world, why not recruit them?" ”

Liu Kuan's face was overjoyed after hearing this, "I will send someone to the summons immediately, I can't go in person!" Can the text be led to by writing? "Dare not obey your life." Xun Yu replied. Liu Kuan laughed after hearing this, "The four gentlemen are coming, and I have Xiao He and the ovary in Youzhou!" ”

When everyone was gathering together, Qi Zhou came to report that Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, was not driving, riding the capital lieutenant, and Zhang Qi was sent to Youzhou, and came to ask for a meeting. Liu Kuan asked Yan Rou and Tian Yu to take Man Zhong and Mao Yu to settle down, leaving Xun Yu and Xun You, and let the two of them meet with their father and son.

After Fu Zhu and Zhang Qi arrived, Han Fu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others once again invited Youzhou to participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo. and handed Cao Cao's essay on Dong Xuan.

After Liu Yu saw it, he handed it to Liu Kuan, and Liu Kuan only saw the text and said: "Cao Wait, I would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king, defiled the court, mutilated the living beings, was unkind, and the crime was accumulated!" Today, under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers were gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; Support the royal family and save the people. When the text arrives, it can be carried out quickly. After reading it, Liu Kuan handed the text to Xun Yu and Xun Yu to watch.

Liu Kuan opened his mouth and said to Fu Zhu: "Dong Zhuo's chaotic ministers and thieves will be punished by everyone. Gong and brother Dacai, there are one or two things to ask each other, one is Cao Cao's edict to discuss Dong, to control chaos with chaos, this precedent is opened, how will my Han system and legal system exist? The princes of the two privately recruit soldiers, and the soldiers are also national weapons! After Dong Zhuo's death, the princes supported the army, wouldn't everyone Dong Zhuo? The national weapons are lost, the princes are divided, and they attack each other, where will the people in the world and the people go? ”

Gong and is the expression of frustration, not only frustrated, but even Xun Yu and Xun Yu were shocked after listening to Liu Kuan, they didn't expect Liu Kuan's vision to be so profound, and they didn't expect that Liu Kuan cared most about the common people in the world.

Fu Zhu was originally very eloquent and could easily talk, but at this time, Fu Zhu didn't want to refute Liu Kuan, so he was silent.

Liu Yu had discussed with Liu Kuan before, and Liu Kuan's idea was not to intervene in the war and bury his head in development, so he said: "I am on the border of Youzhou, entangled in everything, the road is far away, and the grain and grass are difficult ......to follow."

Liu Yu was talking, Liu Kuan found that Xun Yu was looking at him, and hinted with his eyes that he was stopping Liu Yu, thinking that Xun Yu must have other ideas, so he quickly interrupted Liu Yu, "Father, don't come from afar, it's the festival, it's better to rest for a while, tonight is a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, and it's not too late to talk about the good story." ”

As soon as he heard that Liu Yu meant to refuse, Liu Kuan seemed to have a different opinion, so he retired and was taken down by Qi Zhou, so that Liu's father and son could discuss. Of course, he hoped that Liu Kuan would have a different point of view from Liu Yu and let him complete his mission to Youzhou.

Xun Yu saw that Fu Zhu and the others were leaving, and said: "Liu Yuanjun, Ji Hou, disputes in the world are inevitable. My Youzhou is deeply rooted in the world to control the world, and it is indeed a good strategy to withdraw from the melee. However, when the emperor was in the first emperor, he ordered the governor of the four states, and now Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou were uncontrolled, and except for Youzhou, the remaining three states have been divided. Jizhou is the Xiongzhou of the Great Han Dynasty, with a large population, and it is a strategic place, now Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, and there must be a dragon and tiger dispute between Han Fu and him. Asking Dong is for the righteousness, Youzhou might as well let Jizhou supply heavy grain and grass, send troops to fight Dong, wait for the time to change, Han Fu and Yuan Shao when they fight, take Jizhou as the foundation. You can protect yourself by retreating, and you can get the land of Hebei when you enter. I have a cavalry out of Youzhou, which does not consume money and grain in Youzhou, and can also test soldiers, train generals, survey the terrain of mountains and rivers, and also establish prestige in the Central Plains, and collect the hearts of scholars, why not? ”

When Liu Kuan heard this, he said in his heart, Xun Yu really has the talent of the ovary, and he is like a god, and he actually expected that Han Fu in Jizhou was weak, and there was a dispute between Han Fu and Yuan Shao in Jizhou! ，

Xun You continued: "Wen Ruo's words are very good, Ji Hou might as well lead a cavalry to the alliance, and after the day is fruitless, he can advance and retreat freely." Another soldier is stationed on the border of Youzhou and Jizhou, waiting for a good opportunity to speak well, and Anjizhou takes it as the foundation. ”

After Liu Kuan heard this, he had to admire Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, so he laughed, "The hero sees the same thing!" I want to lead Wuqiu Jian, Tian Yu, and Zhao Yun to lead 15,000 cavalry to the Huimeng, Bu Dugen, Kebineng, and Xian Yu Auxiliary Division, respectively, stationed in Lingqiu, Xushui, and Baxian near Jizhou, and Yan Rou and Mao Jue led the rest of the troops to stay in Jicheng. Liu Kuan then looked at Xun You, "Can Gongda let me march Sima and go to meet the heroes of the Kanto region together?"

Xun You saw that Liu Kuan had adopted the advice of his uncle and nephew, and deeply felt that he had met the master, so he stood up and saluted: "Dare not serve your life."

At the night banquet that night, Fu Zhu asked Liu Yu to send troops again, Xun Yu talked about the long distance in Youzhou, and the difficulty in receiving and transporting heavy grain and grass, and Fu Zhu promised to provide grain and grass for the Youzhou army according to Han Fu's instructions before leaving, Liu Yu said that it was difficult to shirk Han Fu's request, so he and Liu Kuan agreed to raise troops to fight against Dong Zhuo.

Liu Kuan took 5,000 cavalry from Budugen and Kirby Nengbu and handed them over to Tian Yu and Wuqiu Jian, and ordered Zhao Yun to lead 5,000 cavalry from the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, a total of 15,000 iron cavalry, through Jizhou, to Yanzhou Chenliu.

accompanied by Liu Tong, this time Liu Tong begged Liu Wan to crusade against Dong Zhuo together, Liu Kuan thought for a long time and agreed. First, on the last trip to Dahe Mountain, Liu Kuan knew Liu Tong's ability, and second, Liu Kuan thought that in the troubled times, it was better to let Liu Tong contact Zhuxiong in advance and see the world. Liu Kuan also felt that Liu Yu was too lenient and benevolent, and his 20 years of legal infiltration in his previous life was too conformist, and in the troubled times, Liu Tong was more suitable for survival and development than himself and Liu Yu.
