Chapter 56: A Visitor from Chang'an

Every time Yuan Yun said that he wanted to return to his hometown and then go to farming, most people would regard it as a kind of mantra of celebrities, and it seemed that if he didn't say so, he wouldn't show their nobility, so whenever someone said this, it was already regarded as a kind of etiquette, and no one would really believe it at all.

In Yuan Yun's heart, this wish is real, and now he is fighting so desperately on the battle array, just to realize this wish as soon as possible.

For Yuan Yun personally, he really wants to say goodbye to the battlefield, to the officialdom, and even to the place where everyone gathers, but for others, he is only smashing into it now, and it is best to die inside.

For example, Xu You, who is now appearing in Xiangyang, this guy originally accompanied Cao Ang to Chang'an, and then marched into Hanzhong from there, preparing to fight Liu Bei there, as long as it is really so ideal, then this old guy will definitely be able to make a lot of achievements.

Today's Xu You can be said to have a very good capital at the political level, but he is pitiful in the area of military exploits, and the most important thing in this era is the military exploits, so his wishful thinking is still very good, the only unfortunate thing is that Liu Bei actually fled without a fight, causing all Xu You's wonderful fantasies to fall through.

Now Cao Ang has also given up his plan to directly attack Yizhou, resulting in continuing to follow Cao Ang without any chance to gain military merits, so Xu You, the old fox, took the initiative to apply and transferred to Yuan Yun's side, especially after hearing that Liu Bei's soldiers entered Yong'an County, he immediately rushed over non-stop.

"Now that the prince has rebuilt a city in the border of Hanzhong, which is even more magnificent than the one in Zhang Lu before, as long as Liu Bei is not hot-headed, he will not dare to kill himself." After Xu You finished speaking, he tasted the fragrant tea comfortably, he knew very well that only the tea around Yuan Yun was the best tea.

Yuan Yun glanced at Xu You, but did not say anything about the war situation, but diverted the topic and said: "You let your only son enter the Luoyang administrative unit, which is tantamount to embarking on the official road, your son's Mu Na character, you are really not worried at all?" ”

Xu You smiled when he heard this, and immediately stretched out three fingers, and then corrected: "It's not the only one, the old man is the father of three children again, and the old man's two concubines are very competitive and give birth to two sons to the old man." ”

When Yuan Yun heard the news, he hurriedly congratulated him, and then found that Xu You's words were a little wrong, so he also learned his tone and corrected: "You shouldn't say that it's your concubine who fights for qi, you should say that you are old and angry, and you are not afraid of dying under a woman's crotch at such an old age." ”

Xu You never took Yuan Yun's ridicule seriously, so he laughed out loud, and then continued: "Now that the scale of Luoyang is getting bigger and bigger, especially after Hongnong and other places have begun to produce a large amount of grain, the status is even more incomparable. ”

Yuan Yun sneered and said, "If the Son of Heaven really moves the capital to Luoyang, Cao Pi will lose the only right in his hands, how can he allow it." ”

After hearing what Yuan Yun said, Xu You immediately squinted his eyes and asked, "When it comes to Cao Pi, why is Yuan Hou still so indifferent, are you really not angry?" ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth curled, and he said: "Mr. Xu You shouldn't call me Yuan Hou, my marquis has been eliminated by the imperial court, and in a fundamental sense, I don't belong to the shogunate of Cao Ang's prince, so I am equivalent to a white cloth, a white cloth, why should I be angry with a big man like Cao Pi?" ”

Xu You immediately shook his hand and said: "The marquis of Yuan Hou is gone, it's just that it's not cut off, but replaced by a bigger duke, this news has been spread by Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and it is estimated that someone will come over to announce the decree in the near future." ”

Yuan Yun immediately scratched the back of his head when he heard this, and then said very annoyedly: "This is to make Lao Tzu pay more price, I am absolutely very unhappy when I hear it." ”

Xu You smiled and said: "With the duke to do it, Yuan Hou should be happy, don't you look down on those big families the most, they are at most a mixed marquis, you are now a lot older than them, even if you undoubtedly meet on the street, the other party has to get out of the car and salute you on the side of the street, even Cao Pi can't refuse, doesn't it feel particularly relieved to think so?" ”

Yuan Yun shrugged indifferently and said, "Cao Pi, I don't even want to see him, where is the leisure to toss him." ”

Xu You hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, and then said hurriedly: "But Cao Pi is targeting Yuan Hou all the time, this time he even sealed Yuan Hou's mansion in Xu Du first, and the guards of your Yuan Mansion were also imprisoned, if Deng Aigongzi hadn't sent someone to rescue them, I'm afraid these people would have died unjustly in prison." ”

Yuan Yun snorted, raised his eyebrows, and said, "In the future, I will have to settle accounts with Cao Pi, and now let him be arrogant." ”

Xu You immediately smiled heartily when he heard this, and said: "If Yuan Hou targets Cao Pi, he will inevitably be unlucky in the future, which really makes the old man look forward to it." ”

Seeing Xu You like this, Yuan Yun asked with a puzzled expression: "Why does Xu You always want me to fight with Cao Pi, is there anything that can't be said here?" ”

Xu You leisurely took another sip of tea, and then replied indifferently: "Yuan Hou always says that he wants to go to the field to farm, others may be Yuan Hou is humble, but the old man is true, if Yuan Hou is really disheartened and leaves, I am afraid that the future of Luoyang will be worried, the old man does not want to be busy for so long, and finally end up with a good head cut off." ”

Yuan Yun pursed his lips and said: "Without me, you can't fight Cao Pi, isn't the old gentleman too humble, in terms of cunning, it is estimated that no one is your old opponent, just a Cao Pi, it should not be in your old eyes, right?" ”

Xu You shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Cao Pi has changed very much over the years, only from this time he dared to threaten Prime Minister Cao Cheng with heavy supplies, it can be seen that his ambition has reached the point where it cannot be stopped, plus there is a Sima Yi by his side, this person is even more talented, and some tricks he came up with, even the old man can't judge in advance, just like this incident, the old man received a lot of innocence before, but he still didn't guess this result, during which he was also put on a few by the other party, and lost some manpower, it really increased the morale of others, alas. ”

When Yuan Yun heard this, he seemed to remember something, so he asked: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng has now successfully crossed the river, and at the moment he is sweeping the entire territory of Yangzhou, the surrender of the Sun family is only a matter of time, it stands to reason that everything is on the right track, and Cao Pi's tricks have not succeeded, why do you still seem to be worried about something?" ”

Xu You sighed and said: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng didn't blame Cao Pi this time, but praised in front of his subordinates, saying that his old man's children should be qualified like a wolf, so the old man guessed that Cao Pi would not be punished too much, after all, Yuan Hou guessed that he would kill his father, and Cao Pi did not do it."

In this way, Cao Pi is equal to no loss, but Chen Qun's southern expedition is equivalent to making great contributions, and he can strive for great benefits for Cao Pi Group at many levels, while Cao Ang's side has been dragged in Hanzhong without the slightest inch, so in this comparison, our Luoyang is naturally lagging behind.

If it weren't for the gunpowder army on Yuan Houjingzhou's side, which played a key role in the Battle of Chibi, I am afraid that Luoyang's status would be denied by many people immediately, and at that time, a large number of people would naturally choose to stand on Cao Pi's side again. ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said disapprehantly: "Mr. Xu You don't need to worry so much, Cao Pi has lost the best opportunity if he doesn't succeed this time, and there will be no more opportunities for him to use from now on." ”

Xu You was stunned, shook his head and said: "This world is still not settled, who can say it clearly, in case of any more turmoil, Cao Pi will still have a chance to take advantage of it, so we must not take it lightly." ”

When Yuan Yun heard Xu Yu say this, he didn't reply directly, but sighed inexplicably: "Once Prime Minister Cao Cheng has passed the Red Cliff, the unification of the world will not be far away, and the general trend is just the trend." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Yun paused slightly, and then said with a smile: "And in the environment of unity and peace, who may have a better chance of making contributions than Luoyang?" If we want to rebuild after the war and restore people's livelihood, we in Luoyang are the most important choices, and who will dare to underestimate us at that time? Therefore, Mr. Xu You does not have to worry too much about Luoyang's status. ”

Xu You looked at Yuan Yun and said so easily, his brows furrowed again, and said: "Yuan Hou must not be so relaxed, now that the war is not over, anything can happen, and even if it is peaceful, the struggle that he has only seen is more obvious and more intense." ”

Yuan Yun nodded, but quickly shook his head, and said: "Infighting is really annoying, let's see it at that time, anyway, Luoyang's status is unshakable, I'm very sure of this." ”

"Before the prince is truly successful, where will Yuan Hou go?" Xu You didn't seem to intend to beat around the bush, and directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

Yuan Yun smiled again and said: "Before that, I was naturally honestly with the prince, and I was more afraid of retaliation than anyone else, so before the prince was completely successful, I would definitely do my best." ”

Xu You seemed to have eaten a reassuring pill when he heard this, and immediately lit his head and continued to taste the fragrant tea, and after a long time, he asked again with a smile: "When did Yuan Hou decide to use troops in Yong'an County?" ”

Yuan Yun left his seat slightly, then walked to the window, looked at the large patches of new green that began to appear outside, and then smiled: "Just this month." ”

When Xu You heard this, the old man's face turned a little red, he smiled, and said: "The old man's military exploits will depend on Yuan Hou's arrangement this time, but if he is sent, the old man will definitely not live or die." ”

Yuan Yun could only smile bitterly when he looked at Xu Yu like this, he really didn't understand why there were always people who liked power so much, and even never stopped being ambitious, that kind of day was too tormenting, and there was no fun at all.
