Chapter 40: Xu Shu's Purpose
Yuan Yun is very happy now, Zhuge Liang proposed that Xu Shu go to Yecheng together, and Xu Shu immediately agreed, and he was ready to postpone the matter of going to Luoyang to teach.
This result must be celebrated with wine, so Yuan Yun immediately smiled at Xiao Liu and said, "Hurry up and prepare a banquet, Ben Hou will give Brother Yuan a good reception today." ”
Zhuge Liang was suddenly displeased: "Why is it that every time Liang comes, he is always blinded by Yuan Hou, is Yuan Hou looking down on me Zhuge Liang?" ”
Yuan Yun pushed Zhuge Liang aside without thinking about it, then took Xu Shu's hand and continued: "Brother Yuan's great name Benhou is like thunder, and he has been yearning for a long time, I can see it today, of course I have to celebrate, if Brother Kong Ming doesn't want to go, Benhou will naturally not embarrass you." ”
Zhuge Liang angrily slapped the feather fan in his hand, and said quite unhappily: "If you don't have Liang's introduction, can you Yuan Yunyan know Brother Yuan?" ”
Yuan Yun didn't bother to deal with Zhuge Liang at all now, even if that cheeky person was rejected, he would still go to the banquet with him, so there was no need to worry about it at all.
It was only a few steps before Xiao Liu said with some embarrassment: "Back to the lord, the prince of Cao Ang has already issued a ban on alcohol in the new city, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for us to openly hold a banquet, right?" ”
Unlucky, Yuan Yun scolded secretly, and then said with a smile: "Since you can't drink, it's better to have some breakfast together, Brother Kong Ming chatted with the prince all night, I'm afraid I'm hungry, right?" ”
Zhuge Liang glanced at Xu Shu, and immediately laughed and said: "That's hungry, it's better to go to Yuan Hou's yard to sit for a while now, Liang likes the soybean milk fritters made by the chef of Yuan's mansion the most, and he never gets tired of eating them." ”
Several people returned all the way, and Xu Shu suddenly asked: "Yuan Hou should still be cautious about the crusade against Yecheng, I once passed by Yecheng, where Yuan Shao built it like an iron bucket, and it may not be easy to conquer it." ”
Yuan Yun heard Xu Shu say this, but he glanced at Zhuge Liang gratefully, because he had told him before that he hoped that the other party could keep the artillery matter secret, it seems that Zhuge Liang did it, otherwise Xu Shu would never have warned him so at this moment.
It's just that the matter of artillery should not be publicized everywhere, so I can only bypass the topic and say: "If we insist on attacking Yecheng, will Brother Yuan have a good plan?" ”
Xu Shu said with a smile: "If you want to conquer Yecheng, you must find someone who is familiar with Yecheng, there are such two people in the gunpowder army, one is open jaw, one is Gao Lan, there are these two Yuan Shao's former subordinates, why did Yuan Hou go far and come to ask me Xu Shu?" ”
Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "I have already asked these two people, but they were not valued by Yuan Shao back then, so they were stationed outside all the year round, and they were not as familiar with Yecheng as Benhou's spies." ”
Xu Shu stroked his beard and smiled: "Is Yuan Hou still missing a person, since you don't know anyone in the gunpowder army, why don't you look outside the gunpowder army, such as Xu You, who is already an official in Xu Du."
He has lived in Yecheng all the year round, if he understands it, then Xu You, who was responsible for repairing the walls of Yecheng, must know a lot of loopholes, and he Xu You is such a sleek person, didn't he leave some connections in Yecheng? ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, he really forgot Xu You, this old guy really restrained a lot after being taught a lesson by himself last time, and now he will give a salute when he sees Cao Cao, and when facing his colleagues, he also seems to be a lot more cautious, and he doesn't want to go to the past with no one in his eyes, which can be regarded as a lot of progress, so now he should pay back some interest, such as going to Yecheng with himself.
After thinking about this, Yuan Yun laughed in an instant, and said to Xu Shu: "Thank you Brother Yuan for your reminder, Ben Hou really forgot Xu You, why should he drag him to Yecheng when he turns around." ”
Xu Shu smiled heartily and said: "Since Xu You and Xu Ziyuan are willing to go to Yecheng together, Yuan Hou can naturally find Yecheng's weaknesses, which is gratifying, and now that this problem has been alleviated, I, Xu Yuanzhi, have to mention my thoughts." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, and looked at Zhuge Liang a little strangely in an instant, but this thing turned his eyes elsewhere, it seems that he must know something.
Facing Xu Shu slightly, Yuan Yuncai smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, but it doesn't hurt to say it, is there something unspeakable that can't be hidden?" ”
Xu Su still had a hearty smile on his face, and said, "I, Xu Yuanzhi, saw Yuan Hou this time, but I came on the order of Xuande Gong. ”
Yuan Yun was startled, and immediately stopped his steps, and Shi Shen and Xiao Liu also took a step forward in an instant, blocking both sides of Yuan Yun.
Xu Shu smiled, immediately spread his two hands, and then said, "Yuan Hou, don't worry, I'm not here to assassinate you this time, I sent Zhao Yun to assassinate you before, but I have vigorously opposed it."
However, each is his master, and what I Xu Yuanzhi can do is only to admonish, but I can't stop it, and after this is washed, Yuan Hou understands, I definitely don't approve of the use of assassination, and fighting to the death on the battlefield is what I yearn for. ”
Yuan Yun nodded, kicked Shi Shen and Xiao Liu aside, and then took a step forward and said, "Since Brother Yuan has said that each is his master, why did he still promise Ben Hou to go to Luoyang Academy to teach?" ”
Xu Shu replied disapprovingly: "I will naturally do what I promised Yuan Hou, and I will go to Luoyang Academy to teach, at least I will stay there for three years, and do my best to teach what I have learned in my heart, and never hide it privately, Brother Kong Ming can also guarantee it for me." ”
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and then said with a wry smile: "It's a loss to make you a friend, I have to guarantee you if I have nothing to do, and I can't get any benefits, but since Brother Yuan has promised it, Liang is sure that he will do it." ”
Yuan Yun arched his hand and said: "Ben Hou naturally believes that now Brother Yuan can rest assured that the purpose of your visit this time is true." ”
Xu Shu laughed out loud, shouted happily first, and then continued: "I, Xu Shu, am here to make a deal with Yuan Hou to help you conquer Yecheng, and teach at Luoyang Academy for three years, in exchange for the three constituent shares of the business road leading to South Vietnam."
If Yuan Hou agrees, we will not take this benefit in vain, we will open a secret road in Xinye, so that it will be easier for Yuan Hou's caravan to pass through Jingzhou directly to the territory of Jiaozhou, and make a safety guarantee. ”
Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at a moment's notice: "This deal was proposed by Uncle Liu Huang?" ”
Xu Shu nodded and said, "It was proposed by me, and then approved by Xuande Gong, which is why I am standing here now." ”
Yuan Yun looked at Xu Shu carefully, and said after a long time: "Benhou and Uncle Liu Huang's holiday, don't Brother Yuan know?" ”
Xu Shu smiled heartily and said: "Naturally, I know it clearly, but Xuande Gong has Xuande Gong's statement, and Yuan Hou naturally has his own statement, these differences are not something I can understand, it's just that I want to open up a business road now, but I'm just thinking about the people of Xinye."
Now Cao Sikong has closed the border of Jingzhou, so it is basically impossible for Xinye to go north, and Liu Biao has very little support for Xuande Gong because of Cai Mao's slander, and Xinye's initial construction is naturally extremely difficult, I don't want to find some way to come out, I'm afraid that even if Xuande Gong eats bran with the people, it will be difficult to sustain it anymore. ”
After listening to Xu Shu, Yuan Yun already knew that this person had a very strong autonomy, and would not easily believe any side's statements, and the purpose was also very clear, he knew very well what he wanted to do, so he would remove all obstacles and only concentrate on doing his own thing.
Such talents can only be in Luoyang College for three years, which is really a bit less, but it's a pity.
After sighing in his heart, Yuan Yun stretched out two fingers, and then smiled crookedly: "Yicheng, as long as Yicheng." ”
Xu Shu replied with some displeasure: "If you say so little, what is the meaning of Xinye, is Yuan Hou giving too little?" ”
Yuan Yun shook his head and said: "Even if it is Yicheng, Ben Hou feels too much, because you don't know how rich it is over there, Ben Hou only tells you one sentence, just the annual grain output of a small kingdom over there is enough for Xinye to eat for three or four years, so Brother Yuan can understand?" ”
Xu Shu was stunned and puzzled: "South Vietnam has always been barren, how can there be so much food?" ”
Yuan Yun smiled confidently: "They use two-cropping, or even three-cropping grain a year, plus the land is fertile and abundant, and grain has never been something that is lacking over there.
Brother Yuan has never seen the situation over there with his own eyes, how can he know what is barren, if it is hearsay, then Ben Hou suggested that Brother Yuan still believe what Ben Hou said. ”
Xu Shu was silent for a moment, his eyes kept sweeping over Yuan Yun's face, and finally Zhuge Liang came out to assure him, and he barely believed it, but he still maintained this half-believing attitude towards the so-called food is not a problem.
Yuan Yun didn't explain too much, just took a step closer, and then continued: "The business road over there in South Vietnam can only give you Xinye Yicheng, and Ben Hou must emphasize that these benefits are not for Liu Bei, but for the people of Xinye, and Brother Yuan must distinguish clearly." ”
Xu Shu smiled and said: "Why is Yuan Hou so taboo about Xuande Gong, it was just the wrong way that Xuande Gong won over Yuan Hou back then, why do you need to hold a grudge for so many years?" Now even if he is doing business, he doesn't want to be involved with Xuande Gong, so why bother. ”
Yuan Yun's face turned cold in an instant, and he replied coldly: "Because Liu Bei killed two singers in my house, two girls with good years, just because Liu Bei wanted to get the art of gunpowder, and was poisoned, this kind of hatred can not be solved in one or two sentences, Brother Yuan Zhi doesn't need to persuade again, in short, Ben Hou and Liu Bei will sit down sooner or later to settle the score, but I don't know who is the prisoner and who is the winner at that time, but it makes people look forward to it." ”
When Xu Shu heard Yuan Yun say this, he really didn't consol anything, but arched his hand and said: "Since Yuan Hou said that the dividend of one percent can also protect the livelihood of the people of Xinye, I believe that it is, what I Xu Shu promised will definitely come true, and from this moment on, we will all obey Yuan Hou's arrangement until the three-year period is lifted." ”
Yuan Yun nodded with satisfaction, Xu Shu was not by Liu Bei's side, so naturally there was no chance to recommend Zhuge Liang out, this is what he is most concerned about, and you Xu Shu dare to stay in Luoyang for three years, if you don't believe it, you can't take down your filial son, it's a big deal that in the end, Lao Tzu is a villain, kidnapping your wife and forcing you to be good.
With a complete plan in his heart, Yuan Yun and Xu Shu high-fived and swore an oath, this agreement was decided, although it was not signed, but this kind of gentleman's covenant was stronger than anything else, not to mention Zhuge Liang as a witness.
The next few people quickly arrived at Yuan Yun's residence in the new city, although it was only a two-entry courtyard, it was also built in a very different way, and there were all kinds of ancillary facilities.
Xu Su continued to admire after watching it, especially when he used the flush toilet, he admired it even more, and what he enjoyed the most was naturally the chef skills of the Yuan family.
These cooks have now learned good cooking skills from Yuan Yun, and then they will teach them to new chefs, so the most sought-after profession in Xu Du must be these big and small chefs who graduated from Yuan's mansion.
As long as these cooks stay in the kitchen of the Yuan Mansion for three years, there will immediately be big clans to rob people, and these cooks are also very popular, but they are not invited by anyone, and they will always interrogate the other party's housekeeper well, and then they will finally make a decision.
The rebellion had just been eaten, and Yuan Yun, who we were hard for, was approached by Zhang Liao, and then directly caught up with the horse, and took it to the school field in the west of the city.
Unlucky!
Yuan Yun rode on horseback, and could only scold a few words in his heart to vent, but he also knew that he could not disobey it.
