Chapter 221: Spread the World
Xun Yu sobbed and said: "Chang'an is far away, and there is Dong Zhuo in the middle, but I can't hide it, Gongda has already written to tell me, he asked His Majesty to send Sikong coffin back to his hometown, but there was no response, and he went to Shangshu to ask for help in the prince's mansion, and the prince had no choice." ”
Shang Shuling Wang Gong is the prince of Wang Yun.
After Dong Zhuo entered the court and took charge of the government, the scholars were roughly divided into three groups, one group sneered at Dong Zhuo, adopted an attitude of non-cooperation or even resignation, such as Beihai Xiang Kong Rong; Some of them did the opposite and threw themselves to Dong Zhuo as henchmen, such as Shi Liu Ai, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But the smartest thing to do is to face Dong Zhuoxu and the snake on the one hand, and stay in the court and wait for the opportunity to move, among which the most representative and the most beautiful one is Wang Yun. Wang Yun was persecuted by Zhang Rang, and had a very high status among the party, and during the period before and after He Jin's defeat, he served as Henan Yin, and his power was very great, so after Dong Zhuo gained a foothold in Luoyang, he recruited Wang Yun, and Wang Yun also came to Dong Zhuo's side along the river. On the surface, Wang Yun blindly obeyed Dong Zhuo, whether it was the abolition of the Son of Heaven or the appointment and dismissal of ministers, he always stood on the same line with Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo regarded Wang Yun as his confidant, trusted and reused him.
Therefore, when the national capital was moved to Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo could not arrive in time to deal with the Kwantung princes, he entrusted all the government to Wang Yun to manage, Wang Yun not only Shang Shuling, but also replaced Yang Biao and became one of the three princes.
Even Wang Yun thought that he couldn't handle this matter, let alone others.
Xi Zhong sighed: "It's a pity that Sikong's name is higher than the world, and he can't return to his hometown with the coffin and put it into the ground...... Wen Ruo, before I came, Xu Hou also wrote to Dong Zhuo and told Dong Zhuo about this matter, hoping to help, but now it seems that it is useless. ”
Xun Yu said with emotion: "Zhongkang has a deep affection for my Xun family, and has repeatedly helped him, but I really don't know how to repay it. ”
Xi Zhong smiled and said sincerely: "Wen Ruo, Xu Hou has been able to get to where he is today, because of luck, but he doesn't completely rely on luck. In the past, you often said that I was a visionary person, but after a long time with Xu Hou, I know that when it comes to 'vision', many times, whether it is me, Guo Fengxiao, or even you Xun Wenruo, may not be as good as Xu Hou...... Xu Hou is also a person who values love and righteousness and knows right from wrong, which must be very clear to Wen Ruo. That's it, don't talk about this, you better have a good rest, keep a useful body, and only then can you repay the country's kindness in the future, and the Xue family hates it. ”
When the drama was over, he said goodbye and left, leaving Xun Yu alone in the house, sitting in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Although Xun Shuang's coffin was not allowed to return to his hometown, the Xun clan still decided to hold a simple funeral, ceremoniously bury some clothes that Xun Shuang had worn before, and buy a clothing mound. At the time of the war, the roads were uneven, but there were still many scholars from all over the country who came to pay their respects, about thousands. Thousands of people seem to be a lot, but compared to the funerals of Xun Shu, Chen Yu and other old celebrities, for various reasons, the solemnity gap is very large, only the number of condolences, Xun Shu, Chen Yu and others died, there are tens of thousands of people from all over the world to mourn, it can be said that the world is sideways.
Attending the funeral were local scholars from Yingchuan, scholars from surrounding counties, and even more because Xun Shuang died of illness, ranking as the third duke, and officials at all levels in many places came in person or sent representatives to mourn.
In a state of Yuzhou, Cao Cao and Xu Chu naturally came in person, Kong Ling, as the assassin of Yuzhou, it stands to reason that he wanted to come in person, but because of his poor health and his reluctance to meet Xu Chu, Cao Cao and others, he sent a representative of Wu Yi to participate.
Other states and counties, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao, etc. all sent representatives over, and to Xu Chu's surprise, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, Yangzhou Thorn Shi Chen Wen, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe and other officials also sent their sons, henchmen and so on.
When the funeral was carried out, Xu Chu arrived with an important civil and military force, and was ceremoniously received by the Xun family, and the scholars who came to mourn were surprised. It's a pity that because Xun Yu was too busy, Xu Chu didn't have a chance to talk to him, and after the funeral, he told Fan A to stay for a few more days to observe Xun Yu's condition, and then took people back to Yangzhai.
The time has reached the end of May, and Xu Chu and Cao Cao met again to discuss the time of entering the army, which is set for the beginning of June.
At the same time, Xu Chu also proposed that Xun Yu write the essay on Dong this time.
Cao Cao said happily: "If Xun Wen makes a move, the scholars will be even more angry at Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior. ”
So Xi Zhong took the initiative to ask Ying again, and went to Gaoyang to find Xun Yu again. After meeting Xun Yu, he explained his intentions, and Xun Yu agreed without hesitation.
After Xun Yu drafted the book, Xi Zhong returned to Yangzhai with the text and asked Xu Chu and Cao Cao to take a look. After the two of them saw it, they immediately decided to spread the word to the world.
At the beginning of the article, it is said: Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the world, so that the Son of Heaven was forced to move westward, resulting in the untidy dynasty and the decline of mountains and rivers, so the Huya general Xu Chu and the Xingfenwei general Cao Cao now raised troops with loyalty and righteousness, in order to recover Luoyang, and then take Chang'an, and welcome the Son of Heaven to return to the east.
Then what he said was: the princes asked for Dong, and the heroes responded, originally based on the two Yuans, so they asked Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to raise volunteers together, and Xu and Cao were willing to obey Yuan Shao's arrangement and respect him as the master.
The last thing to say is: Although the princes of sour jujube have returned to the county, I heard that there are still many loyal people who are bent on seeking Dong, and I also heard that such as General Gongsun of Beiping, Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou and other heroes and horses, they have missed the opportunity to be loyal to the country for various reasons, and they are very regretful, so Xu Chu and Cao Cao are looking forward to it in Yingchuan, hoping that they can also come and crusade against Dong Zhuo together.
The article written by Xun Yu seems to be an article that invites the heroes, praising all the big guys, but in fact, he only praised Xu Chu and Cao Cao, and scolded the rest of the people. Er Yuan and the sour jujube princes will not talk about it, Gongsun Zhan and Tao Qian, the two of them, the discerning people have long seen clearly, they have never joined the battle against Dong, and the so-called strong soldiers and horses are just efforts to grow their own families.
As soon as the article came out, everyone was shocked.
Those who watched the excitement were full of interest, and they were 'full of praise' for Xu Chu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao scolding together. Now there is a saying in the world that the princes are asking for Dong, almost if Yuan Shao is asking for Dong, Xu Chu and Cao Cao, who are princes all the way, are like Yuan Shao's vassals in the eyes of the world, but now, the vassals scolded the main master, and those individuals who are not too big to see the excitement are full of interest, looking forward to Yuan Shao's reaction.
In fact, all the princes who were 'pointed at their noses and scolded' were very angry, but just as the big guy thought, Yuan Shao was the most annoyed. He is the 'alliance leader' of the coalition army, but his achievements are also seen by everyone in the world, and he retreated in the river, without a single soldier crossing the river, not to mention that Wang Kuang, who was attached to him, was defeated by Niu Fu and returned. As the leader of the alliance, this record is really unattainable.
After receiving the document, Yuan Shao paced repeatedly in the account and was speechless for a long time.
There are many talents in the account, including Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Chun Yuqiong, Xin Ping and other Yingchuan scholars, Feng Ji, Xu You and other Nanyang celebrities, as well as Wang Kuang, Bao Xin, Gao Gan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other civil and military personnel.
These people have just read the content of the text, Wei County celebrity judge is upright, saw Yuan Shao was silent for a long time, and said hurriedly: "Ming Gong, since Xu and Cao Erjun have spread the word to the world, and Yun recommended Ming Gong as the master, in my opinion, Ming Gong can't wait to ignore it." ”
Trial, the word is south. He has always been a radical faction in Yuan Shao's political group, and he strongly advocated against Dong, and this time Xu Chu and Cao Cao raised troops again, so he reminded him of the old words, hoping that Yuan Shao could honestly send troops to cross the river and fight a battle with Dong Zhuo.
Yuan Shao glanced at the judge expressionlessly, and said, "Just sit down and let me think twice." ”
