"One doesn't know humility, two doesn't know restraint, and three doesn't know self-measure."

Xun Yufu returned to Lu Ren and sat down and said, "In my opinion, it's not, the real fault is that you shouldn't have appeared." Is it to ask the lord to be a person, and will he let go of the talented? It is the wisdom of the Lord to use the amount of talent and give full play to it, but it seems that you have talents that others can never surpass. You're young...... Yihao, if you had stayed, I think you would have become the lord's minister. ”

"The Minister of Trust?" Lu Ren secretly scratched off a large drop of sweat, and said in his heart: "Take me as Zhuge Liang?" Your old Cao is not Liu Bei, and I am not Zhuge Liang."

Xun Yu continued: "Let's get down to business, don't mention these old things. I thought you would find a quiet place to spend your days at sea, but now it seems that you must have something else in mind...... Yizhou? It's a barbaric and desolate place now, but if you stay there for less than ten years, you'll become a rich place, right? And what you are missing is this justifiable official position. It's just that Yizhou is adjacent to Sun Quan's Wu County, and if Yizhou is still a wild place, Sun Quan will naturally not be interested, but after you stay there for a few years, it's another matter. If Sun Quan raises troops to invade, you have never been good at military affairs, and in the end you are just making wedding clothes with others. Yihao, what you really want is to prepare for the safety of Yizhou, in case Yizhou is in trouble, it is better to ask the lord for help by water, please send troops from Hefei and Shouchun, so that Sun Quan has no time to look outside, right? ”

Lu Ren said: "In the end, I still can't hide it from Xun Gong." ”

Having said that, Lu Ren really didn't plan to hide it from Xun Yu, this was one of his original plans. But what Xun Yu can see is not very comprehensive, but Lu Ren will not say it.

Xun Yu looked at the map for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Yihao, you should still have a deep meaning that you haven't said." ”

Lu Ren was stunned. asked: "Xun Gong thinks I still have a deep meaning?" Let's give it a try. ”

Xun Yu didn't answer, but turned his finger from Yizhou on the map to outside Shanhaiguan, and asked, "Yihao has always been far-sighted. Now that Cao Gong is leading the army to rest in Yecheng, what do you think Cao Gong will do next? ”

Lu Ren pondered for a while and said, "Does Duke Xun know about Yuan Shang's borrowing of troops from the Northland?" ”

Xun Yu said: "I have heard of it for a long time, but I don't need to worry about it. After Cao Gong swept away Karasuma, he would definitely wave his army to the south, and settle Jingxiang first. Jihei Koto. After taking these two places, the two rivers of Xishu can also be determined...... Yihao, when Cao Gong pacified Sun Quan in Jiangdong, would you make some trouble in the back? ”

"Uh-huh——?"

Where did Lu Ren think about this? Oh, during the Battle of Chibi, Lu Ren stabbed Sun Quan in the rear? Then Sun Quan is finished! This is not at all in line with Lu Ren's own idea.

But I heard Xun Yu laugh and said: "I forgot, Yihao, you don't know how to lead troops to fight at all, how can you make this mess?" However, when the main army is on the Yangtze River, it is not bad to let you bluff in Yizhou. And you shouldn't have thought of that yet. ”

Lu Ren was in a cold sweat, he really didn't think of this, and if he didn't do it in the future, he would directly kill Sun Quan.

Xun Yu stood up again and walked a few steps in the hall. nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the matter of the Yizhou Mansion is beneficial to my Han and it is difficult to see the harm, but this time must be grasped well." It's too fast, it's not too slow...... Yihao, when are you going to take this official position? ”

Lu Ren replied with a straight face: "Although you can directly face the saint, the right to grant any county guard is still in the hands of Duke Cao, right?" According to my calculations, if Cao Gong wants to attack Karasuma in the north, Xianbei is only afraid that it will be the Ming Dynasty and the next two years, and spread this matter to the world. In my opinion, it would be a three-year period. ”

Xun Yu said: "On the surface, I spread this matter three years later, but secretly I first gave you the letter of Yizhou County. How about you to govern famously? ”

Lu Ren arched his hand and said, "It's as you wish, but Xun Gong, you can't push me into the fire pit." ”

Xun Yu thought silently for a long time before nodding and said, "Yihao, don't worry, I will definitely handle the matter of Yizhou Mansion for you, but you can't rush it." Tomorrow, I will repair the book and send it to Cao Gongchen to say the pros and cons, and after Cao Gong replies to the book, I will go to the Holy God to explain this matter, and I will grasp the time. You are waiting in Xudu. Or will you send someone later? ”

Lu Ren suddenly had a feeling that he had worked with Xun Yu in Shangshu Mansion before, and after rolling his eyes at Xun Yu, he smiled and said, "Xun Gong, do you think I dare to stay in Xudu for a long time?" You won't force me to stay, but it's hard for others to say. Now that the big thing can be done, of course I want to leave Xudu as soon as possible. ”

Xun Yu said: "Yes...... Yoshiho. How long has it been since we've sat down like this? ”

Lu Ren calculated and replied, "More than five years." ”

Xun Yu said: "Your heart is in Yizhou now, it is useless to stay strongly, and the matter of Yizhou will help you in the future...... I want to ask, if the world is calm after more than ten years, and you don't respond to the edict to return to the capital, you and I will discuss in the same court as before? ”

Lu Ren lowered his head and muttered for a long time, and sighed lightly: "I don't know, I may or may not come back." ”

Xun Yu said: "You, after all, it's you Lu Yihao." How can you plan for the future...... Hey, we're done talking, let's talk about something light. This time in Yizhou, depending on the friendship between you and me, you can send a confidant to send a letter here, why do you want to run alone and run in person? ”

Lu Ren leaned back, leaned against the wall behind the banquet and said with a smile: "Xun Gong, in the past, when I was a staff member under Cao Gong's account, only you and Lao Guo were my best friends, and you have worked with Xun Gong for many years, I don't know what kind of temper you have?" With Xun Gong's prudence, just if I sent someone to send a letter to Xu Du to hand it over to you, would you easily believe that it was my letter? Not much else, I've been waiting in front of the door for so long, and if I hadn't expected it, I would have almost never seen you, right? And how can it be clearly stated in this rough letter that it is not you and I who secretly state the benefits and disadvantages face to face, but I am afraid that I will not be able to convey my intentions. If the letter is missing, wouldn't it be a big deal? ”

Xun Yu said: "Indeed, it is better for the general one or the person in charge to tell his intentions...... Hmph, when I first saw your 5461, I thought that your kid was thinking of me, an old boss, and came back from overseas to see me. ”

Lu Ren laughed and said: "Xun Gong, you are not a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city, why did I rush back to see you?" ”

Xun Yu pointed at Lu Ren and scolded with a smile: "You prodigal son." ”

The two laughed for a while, Xun Yu stopped his eyes on the small wooden box containing ambergris and said: "This ambergris is the tribute of Yizhou, and it is placed here for safekeeping, and then I will present it to the saint when the time is right?" ”

Lu Ren said: "That's how it should be...... Alas, remember to make it clear that Yizhou is a poor place, and there are no good things. Just this half catty of ambergris cost me a lot of effort! ”

Xun Yu secretly scolded Lu Ren for opening his eyes and talking nonsense, but he opened the lid of the box a little, and the aroma that had been sealed suddenly came out, and the word rich could no longer be described, so strong that it was almost suffocating. Xun Yu hurriedly put the lid on the box, and then wrapped it in layers of waterproof animal skins like Lu Ren and threw it into the bucket, patted his chest and said, "What a powerful ambergris!" Yihao, these here seem to be much better than the ones you asked the rain girl to send last time? ”

Lu Ren nodded. Although the point brought by Zhao Yu that time was the same batch, it was not processed much. And after such a long period of time, after some processing, the strength of these in Lu Ren's hands is naturally much stronger than Zhao Yu's.

Xun Yu continued: "This ambergris incense, as a tribute, is already a treasure among many tributes. According to what you said, if you pay another pound of tribute every year, it is more than enough for Yizhou, which is a wild land in the eyes of others. Don't worry, I'll do it, and I won't burden Yizhou more. ”

Lu Ren said: "Then there is Lao Xungong." ”

Xun Yu put away the ambergris and said with a smile: "In addition to bringing this ambergris as a tribute to Yizhou, you didn't bring anything else to touch me?" I'm your old boss, and I'm tired of this big event, so I can't talk about it if I don't bother with it, right? ”

Lu Ren laughed and said, "Gong Xun, you are openly asking for a bribe from me, be careful that I report you." ”

The two laughed, and Lu Ren laughed as he took out something from the other side of the burden and said, "I won't forget Xun Gong, you." Oh, this is my newly brewed health medicinal wine, this is the 'Treasure Three Whips Wine'. There are also a few pearls and tortoiseshell armor here, which should be a little gift from me to Mrs. Xun. ”

Xun Yu said: "Your shot is really not small!" I drank a little bit of this medicinal wine from Fengxiao, and I felt that it was a good thing, but Fengxiao, the drunkard, was so stingy that he refused to pour me half a cup more, and this time I could drink a few glasses...... Hey, what's going on with the 'Treasure Three Whips Wine'? This 'whip' ......"

Lu Ren leaned into Xun Yu's ear and explained softly, Xun Yu quickly shook his head and said, "How can that thing be used to make wine?" Okay, okay, I only need medicine and wine, and the three whips of wine are all for Fengxiao to make up for my body. That kid doesn't seem to be in good health lately, so he just needs to make up for it. ”

When Lu Ren heard Xun Yu mention Guo Jia, he couldn't help but sigh: "Is it filial piety? It would be nice if Lao Guo was here, I really want to have a few more drinks with him as before......"

Xun Yu saw Lu Ren's sorrow on his face, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you two prodigal sons also have sentimental times?" When the lord returns from the letter city, wouldn't it be the same for you to sneak to Xudu and meet Fengxiao again? I'm afraid that by that time, all the beautiful girls in Xudu City will be in calamity. Hey, I heard Feng Xiao say that he sent Yi'er to you to study? ”

Lu Ren nodded and said, "Yes, Yi'er is now in Yizhou...... Xun Gong, I want to ask you something. ”

Xun Yu said: "What's the matter with you, you actually want you to come and beg me?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I'm worried about Lao Guo's body...... Lao Guo mentioned to me earlier that he suffered from a strange illness when he was a child, and he was almost incured, but later a tour doctor cured him. Although he was cured, the doctor said that his illness might recur once at the age of forty, which might kill him...... (To be continued.) )
