Chapter 13: Two Letters

When Xun Yu heard this, he also smiled faintly, and he was very pleased with Cao Cao's advice. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info on this point, Gao Ye can't compare to Cao Cao, Cao Cao just listens to his own words, he can understand what he really wants to express, unlike Gao Ye, although he is also very smart, but sometimes, if he doesn't make it clear to him, he can't understand his meaning at all. Gao Ye always likes to use a word called Heart Spirit, although he doesn't know the origin of this word, but he loves this word very much. Especially like now, Cao Cao, the lord, can really be close to himself, how can he not be happy.

"If you want to cast high at night, it's actually not difficult. That high night was originally devoted to the lord, but now he is the Taishou of Yingchuan, not only the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, but Yingchuan is also prosperous. It's just that this makes it difficult for him to take the initiative to join the lord. After all, his status is higher than that of the lord now, so if the lord wants to help him at night, he must go to Yingchuan to invite him in person. ”

"Well, that's fine. A few days ago, I was busy dealing with military affairs, and it was difficult to separate, so I just sent Zixiao to congratulate me. Now that I think about it, it's very inappropriate, and it makes sense to go to Yingchuan in person. ”

"Well, without further ado. I heard Zixiao say that the envoys of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not leave after Gao Ye finished the wedding banquet, saying that they still had important things to see, and it seems that the two of them also want to attack Gao Ye. Even if it's not going to recruit Gao Ye, I think it's going to be a temporary alliance with Gao Ye. That Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have broken up now, and they have the potential to fight, Gao Ye is in Yingchuan, and he is quite powerful, and both of them want to get Gao Ye's help. Because of this, if the lord goes to Yingchuan in person to recruit Gao Ye, firstly, it seems that the lord is thirsty for talent, and secondly, he is also in the arms of Gao Ye, and Gao Ye will inevitably come to vote. ”

"In this case, I immediately arranged everything and set off for Yingchuan."

"It's just that even if Gao Ye is willing to take refuge in the lord, there will definitely be conditions for it, but in my opinion, it is mostly related to Yingchuan. The lord also needs to be mentally prepared. ”

"Haha, how can I not know this. Mingxi has been in charge of Yingchuan Taishou for seven or eight years now, and Yingchuan is his hard work. Therefore, his interests in Yingchuan, I naturally do not move. ”

"It's so good, Mingxi has always loved and hated clearly, people respect him, and he respects people. The lord can respect him so much, and he will definitely be able to surprise the lord in the high night. To be honest, I have been an official under him for so many years, and I can be regarded as a close friend with him, but I don't even know how many shocking treasures there are in his family. I don't even know how many books he has. The lord is going, if nothing else, I dare to guarantee that the paper-making technique Mingxi will be dedicated to the lord. ”

"The art of papermaking is like Cai Lun and Zuo Bo?"

"It's more than that! According to Feng Xiaoyan, Gao Ye's papermaking method is not only cheaper, faster, and most importantly, the quality of the paper is better. Mingxi's house has a collection of more than 10,000 books, all of which are paper books, and there is not a single roll of bamboo slips. Even when I saw it, I was envious. ”

"Haha, if you hear Wen Ruo say this, I can't wait to go to Yingchuan today. That's it, the big and small affairs of Dongjun are entrusted to Wen Ruo for the time being, and as for the military affairs, I can rest assured that Yuan Rang and Miaocai are here. I'll set off tomorrow and let Zixiao and Zilian go with me, what do you think? ”

"So good! The lord is gone, but he is afraid that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's envoys will return with a feather. Xun Yu said and laughed heartily with Cao Cao.

Its practicality is not Cao Cao, and the envoys of their two ways already have a feeling of returning home. Xun Chen was okay, he was already familiar with Gao Ye, so he took the opportunity of a private meeting to hand over Yuan Shao's letter to Gao Ye. In fact, the content of the letter Gao Ye had already guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight, that Yuan Shao is now fighting against Gongsun Chan against the boundary bridge, and the white horse under Gongsun Chan is strong in battle, and he felt a little difficult to deal with at the beginning, which is also normal. Therefore, when he came to write, he did not put himself in a high position, because he knew that if he was too arrogant, he was afraid that it would cause Gao Ye's backlash, and when Gao Ye stabbed him in the back, he couldn't stand it. Therefore, at the beginning of the letter, he wrote his blessings for the high night wedding, and his regret that he could not come to congratulate him in person because of Gongsun Zhan. After a lot of nonsense, he invited Gao Ye to form an alliance with himself to deal with Yuan Shu, a daring guy. In the end, he said a lot of good things, and the meaning in and out of the words was not to be in the same stream as Yuan Shu's guy.

Therefore, Gao Ye glanced at the whole letter, and then looked at Xun Chen, who had been sitting aside. "Where is Youruo now, can you stay well?" Gao Ye did not directly reply to Xun Chen with the things in Yuan Shao's letter, but first cared about Xun Chen's life. After all, a big reason why Xun Chen left him was that he had a bad life with him, not because Gao Ye didn't value him, but because Gao Ye valued Xun Yu more, how could the arrogant Xun Chen accept it? And he naturally saw that Gao Ye was not a good choice, so he left in a hurry, switched to Han Fu, and now works under Yuan Shao's account.

Xun Chen smiled lightly, "Although it's not as comfortable as Yingchuan, it's not bad." Xun Chen then casually told Gao Ye about his life in Jizhou, but it seemed casual, but Xun Chen showed the strength of Yuan Shaojun everywhere in his words, and even his ambition and hope to dominate the world. Xun Chen, as a cowman whose intelligence is no less than Xun Yu, how can he not see Gao Ye's flaws, so he also feels that Gao Ye's most suitable choice is to choose a master. In this case, why don't you persuade him to come to Yuan Shao? Although he told Gao Ye that he had a good life with Yuan Shao, only he knew what the truth was.

When Yuan Shao was still the Taishou of Bohai, Feng Ji was around him to give him advice. At that time, he was an official under Han Fu and won his trust. But now that Han Fu has taken refuge in Yuan Shao, although he has made a great contribution when he helped Yuan Shao obtain Jizhou, Yuan Shao prefers to use local people in Jizhou. In fact, Xun Chen also knew that Yuan Shao could not be blamed for this, after all, when he first took charge of Jizhou, he always needed the support of the local family. Therefore, whether it is Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, or the trial and matching, and Xin Ping, they are now all reused by Yuan Shao, and only himself, his current position is only in a position that is not up or down.

Therefore, once he can persuade Gao Ye to surrender, according to Gao Ye's ability, how can Yuan Shao not treat Gao Ye as a guest, and when the time comes, in order to envelop Gao Ye, his status will inevitably increase. Moreover, behind Gao Ye, not only his retainers and brothers, but also the support of Cai Yong, Zhong Xuan and other famous people in the world, only in this way can his status under Yuan Shao really be able to compete with the Jizhou family.

However, Gao Ye's refusal really disappointed Xun Chen. He is different from Xun Yu, because he left early, so he is not clear about Gao Ye's plan, but thinks that Gao Ye is planning to be with the heroes of the world for a long time, and wants to become a prince and fight for the world with everyone. Xun Chen's disappointment was not only because his plan was about to fail, but also because he was extremely pessimistic about Gao Ye's future.

If Xun Chen, who has a good relationship with Gao Ye, still has a chance to persuade Gao Ye to surrender, then Yan Xiang, who came to see Gao Ye after him, is really just a messenger. As for Yuan Shu's letter, the content is naturally similar to Yuan Shao's, but from the perspective of the literary level of the person who wrote the letter, Yuan Shu's letter is much inferior. Yuan Shao's letter, although Gao Ye didn't ask much, knew in his heart that if he wasn't a great talent, he would never be able to write like this. Not only is the whole text full of prose, but also the rhetoric is gorgeous, if it weren't for Gao Ye's hard work in Wuyuan, it would be a little difficult to understand what he wrote.

Yuan Shu's letter, although the battle is also neat, but the rhetoric is much simpler, except for the words that emphasize the identity of his son-in-law, the others are basically the same as Yuan Shao. It's just that he Yuan Shu is now in Huainan, which can be described as calm, and there is Gongsun Zan in front of him who fights for him and Yuan Shao, so what busy official business can he not leave?

Yan Xiang is also a wonderful person, although there is not a single word in his words to attract Gao Ye for Yuan Shu, but the three sentences do not deviate from this theme. What "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors", what "Yuan Benchu is not a concubine, and my lord is the descendant of the Yuan family", or what "Huainan now has hundreds of generals and 100,000 soldiers", Yuan Shao was belittled everywhere, and vaguely told Gao Ye that coming to Yuan Shu was the real way to survive in Yingchuan.

However, Gao Ye only laughed at these vague hints, since he Yan Xiang did not explicitly recruit himself for Yuan Shu, then he was also happy and confused, and pretended not to understand. Anyway, even if Yuan Shu personally came from Huainan to recruit him, he would never take refuge in him. When Yuan Shu was the emperor in history, to be honest, his strength was definitely stronger than Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. At that time, Cao Cao's land was only Yanzhou, and he had just experienced the defeat of Wancheng, losing the general Dian Wei and his son Cao Ang. As for Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan is still in Youzhou in the north, and Kong Rong and others are in Qingzhou in the south. As for Sun Ce, he was still Yuan Shu's younger brother at that time, and Liu Bei had a lot of trouble with Lu Bu in Xuzhou. He Yuan Shu sits in Yuzhou, Yangzhou, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and his Wenchen generals are not bad, but unfortunately he was carried away by a jade seal, and he was arrogant to be the emperor, and a good hand of cards was beaten by him into that ghost. If he learns from Zhu Yuanzhang's "building walls high, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king", Gao Ye has reason to believe that he is the most likely person to dominate the world!

It is a pity that any history has its inevitability. When Yuan Shu wanted to be the emperor, it was not that no one among his subordinates persuaded him, but the problem was that Yuan Shu didn't listen to persuasion at all! Could it be that the person who persuaded him to change from Yan Xiang to himself would be able to stop doing such a thing? Impossible! Especially his own identity, if he really did this, he believed that the probability of Yuan Shu sacrificing the butcher's knife would be greater. How can such a person be the master of his own choice!

"I know the meaning of the highway, but I ask you to reply to the highway, and forget about the alliance. I, Yingchuan, have experienced the war, and people are at peace, and I don't want to get involved in any disputes at this time. ”
