Yi returned home in a hurry, and ignored the greetings of the servants, and went straight to the back house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He walked into a courtyard, took off his boots, stepped onto the porch, then knocked on the door, and pulled the door into the room. In the room, a middle-aged man about forty years old, half-leaning on the bookcase, holding a book in his hand, was flipping through it with taste...... He stood up about seven feet six inches tall, his physique was not very burly, his face was stern, and his edges and corners were like a knife cutting an axe, revealing a masculine beauty. The sword eyebrows are sharp, and the beautiful hair under the chin makes him look more luxurious.

Seeing Yi come in, the man put down the scroll in his hand.

"Youruo, it's done!"

Yi Yuan smiled and sat down next to the man, "Fortunately, Liu Jingzhou agreed!" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and nodded slightly, revealing a look of relief, "So, thank you for your help." ”

His name is Xun Chen, the word Youruo, and he is from Yingchuan.

In later generations, Xun Chen's reputation was not particularly loud, and many people didn't even know who he was.

But in the Three Kingdoms, the name of Xun Chen can be said to be resounding in the north and south. He has a younger brother, who is the famous Xun Yu Xun Wenruo......

Xun Chen was originally the strategist of Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, and later Yuan Shao became one of the masterminds of Yuan Shao when he entered Hebei.

Xun's three ruo, temperament is different.

Xun Yan is very bold; Xun Yu is polite and polite, a little moody; Xun Chen, on the other hand, is extremely upright, good at military affairs, and does not like to be false and wronged. The three brothers have different personalities, so they take different paths. After Xun Chen defected to Yuan Shao, he was once valued by Yuan Shao. It's just that with the emergence of factions under Yuan Shao, Xun Chen was gradually excluded from the core and became a marginalized figure.

In the fourth year of Jian'an, that is, the year when Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei in Runan.

Xun Chen, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhu jointly asked Yuan Shao to send troops to rescue Liu Bei, but Yuan Shao finally denied it.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are better, they belong to the local clan. But Xun Chen was driven to Pingyuan County for various reasons to assist Yuan Tan.

Liu Bei made a great detour for thousands of miles, and after defecting to Yuan Tan from Runan, he was led by Xun Chen.

I have to say that Liu Bei's personal charm is extremely strong.

With Xun Chen's ability, he was also attracted by Liu Bei and was deeply impressed. Even after Liu Bei defected to Donghai County, he asked Yuan Tan for assistance. Xun Chen volunteered to go to the East China Sea to assist Liu Bei. It's a pity that Donghai County is indeed not a good place...... It seems to be a vast area, but in fact it is sparse and poor. Coupled with the enemy on three sides, even if Xun Chen has the ability to reach the sky, he is helpless.

So Xun Chen simply abandoned Yuan Tan and followed Liu Bei out of the encirclement.

In history, Xun Chen's fate is also very uncertain. After the Battle of Guandu, with the demise of Yuan Shao, he disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown.

Now, for various reasons, Xun Chen followed Liu Bei.

Of course, not many people know about this, at least Yuan Shao and Cao Cao thought that Xun Chen was dead.

Xun Chen doesn't need to worry about the safety of his family, no matter whether Yuan Shao or Cao Cao wins the final victory, his family will not be treated badly.

Yuan Shao, there is no reason to embarrass his small family; Cao Cao, it is impossible to be embarrassed.

Xun Chen's two brothers are now serving under Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao threaten his family?

After escaping from Donghai County and hiding in Runan, Liu Bei and Xun Chen have always paid attention to the development trend of the Guandu War. From the beginning of Yuan Shao's absolute advantage, and then gradually equalized, Xun Chen saw that Yuan Shao was definitely not Cao Cao's opponent in the end.

What if Yuan Shao dies?

Xun Chen and Liu Bei discussed and decided to temporarily attach themselves to Liu Biao.

Under Liu Bei's command, Xun Chen can get enough attention to display his talents; And what about Liu Bei? After experiencing a series of fiascos in Runan, Puyang, and the East China Sea, he also discovered one of his biggest weaknesses. Before Liu Bei's conquest of the world, he relied on his bravery and strategy; But military alone is far from enough to gain a foothold. He also had a few strategists under him, but now, Jian Yong and Sun Qian, one was killed in battle, the other was captured, life and death are unknown, and Liu Bei urgently needs help. And at this time, Xun Chen came, which undoubtedly made Liu Bei like a tiger. He treated Xun Chen like a guest, which can be said to be obedient and showed enough respect.

"Liu Jingsheng, you may not be willing to let me."

"Ming Gong doesn't have to worry, Liu Jingsheng has a false name, so there is nothing to worry about.

Now Jingzhou seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent. No matter what Liu Biao says, he is not from Jingzhou after all. The Jingzhou scholars may be able to accept Liu Biao, but they may not be willing to accept those who come with Liu Biao. Under the rule of Jingzhou, the dumping was very fierce. Liu Biaodong has Sun Quan's troubles, and Liu Zhang has Liu Zhang's eyes on him. Cao Cao's victory this time will inevitably bring huge pressure to Liu Biao...... After the Ming Duke entered Jingzhou, he could be in the open and wrong, and Chen Zihui would help in secret, recuperate, and try to fight Cao Cao in the future. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately asked Xun Chen to go to Weizi Township first and secretly contact the Luzhu brothers.

Later, through the Elk Zhu brothers, they found out the reality of Jingzhou, and finally selected Iraq as the breakthrough point. Yi was originally also a famous scholar in the Central Plains, and the name of Xun's Sanruo was enough to make Yi do his best to help. As soon as Xun Chen arrived in Xiangyang, he got in touch with the Yi nationality and asked the Yi nationality to come forward and speak on behalf of the ...... Sure enough, as Xun Chen had predicted before, Liu Biao easily agreed under the persuasion of the Yi nationality.

"Youruo, I don't know if Xuande Gong is suitable to enter Jingzhou?"

Xun Chen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, if Xuande Gong comes too early, I'm afraid that it will be unfavorable to Ji Bo." I will return to Weizi Township tomorrow, and by the middle of the next year at the latest, Xuande Gong will inevitably arrive in Jingzhou. When the time comes, I hope that Jibo can take care of it more. ”

"That's nature, that's nature!"

Yi nodded again and again, and at the same time was extremely impressed by Xun Chen's meticulous thinking.

Yes, if Liu Bei comes too quickly, I'm afraid Liu Biao will be suspicious: I just agreed, then Liu Xuande will arrive? Is it that Liu Xuande and the Iraqi have reached some kind of agreement? If so, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the house?

If this happens, even the Iraqis will be in trouble.

At the same time, Yi nationality also needs time to prepare and create enough momentum for Liu Bei to come, otherwise Liu Bei will come, and it will be difficult to support Yi alone. Therefore, Xun Chen was reluctant to come too early, and Yi Zhi readily agreed, preparing to contact more people, so that when Liu Bei arrived, he could give greater help.

Just as Yi Ji left Liu Biao's mansion, a slave walked hurriedly, passed through the middle pavilion, and came to the back hall flower hall.

In the flower hall, the charcoal in the brazier is blazing, making the room extremely warm.

A glamorous woman in a pale cyan robe with towering temples was talking to several women.

A little maid walked into the flower hall and whispered a few words in the beautiful woman's ear.

When the beautiful woman heard this, her face suddenly changed.

She confessed to the women and hurried out of the flower hall.

At the corner of the corridor, he saw the servant and asked in a deep voice: "Can you hear clearly, does the envoy really agree to Liu Xuande's entry into Jingzhou?" ”

"Yes, the villain hears it clearly."

"Then can you hear clearly, Liu Bei will come?"

"This, the envoy and the Yi nationality did not explain ......"

"Cui'er, take him down and reward him with ten dollars."

The little maid led the servant away, and the beautiful woman held on to the pillar, her beautiful eyes flashing.

The envoy invited Liu Xuande to come at this time, but I am afraid that it is not so simple...... No, you must notify others as soon as possible, and you must prevent Liu Bei from entering Jingzhou.

"Cui'er!"

"The slave is here."

As soon as the little maid came back, the beautiful woman called out to her, "You work hard again, let Cai Zhong come to see me immediately, and say that I have something important to do with him." ”

"Whoa!"

The little maid took the order again.

The beautiful woman stood on the corridor, looking at a few winter plums under the corridor, and suddenly smiled, with a touch of murder in her eyes......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yingchuan, heavy snow.

In the middle of winter in December, it is a big cold.

Although it can't be compared with the cold of the northern Xinjiang Xiliang, which drips into ice, it also makes people feel cold enough. In the early morning, goose feathers and snow are falling one after another.

Soon, the wind and snow made the road difficult.

When Cao Peng and his party were halfway there, they encountered this snowstorm.

Originally, it was only a day's journey from Xudu Daoyingyin. But because of this heavy snowfall, the travel speed of Cao Peng and others was greatly reduced. After nightfall, the people had to spend the night in a ruined earth temple to escape the cold of the blizzard. Of course, they have the option to keep going. But the road was slippery, and ice froze in many places, forcing Cao Peng to finally choose to stop.

This time, he went out with a hundred fei.

Xia Houlan and Han De accompanied them, and then Pang Tong, a total of 104 people.

Hao Zhao originally wanted to follow, but at the end of the year, various sacrificial activities began, and Xu had to strengthen public security. Cao Ji temporarily transferred Hao Zhao to the past, and reported to the executive Jinwu Jia Xu, gave Hao Zhao the position of capital chief, and led Tiqi to inspect the Xudu market.

For this reason, Hao Zhao was very unhappy.

"Every time, I let Ziyou accompany me, and always let me stay."

But this is also a helpless move, Hao Zhao is the most suitable person to lead the black circle.

Coupled with the fact that this is not going to war, even if there is a conflict, at most it is a skirmish, Xia Houlan and Han De seem to be more professional.

Cao Peng also appeased Hao Zhao a little bit, so that Hao Zhao nodded.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out......

Several bonfires were lit in the ancestral hall, illuminating the gloomy and dark ancestral hall.

After Xia Houlan arranged the candidates for vigilance, she walked to Cao Peng's side with Han De.

"Sit down, warm up."

Cao Peng looked at the snowstorm outside and said to Xia Houlan: "Let everyone go and get some firewood in a while, it must be very cold tonight, and the bonfire in the house cannot be extinguished." Let everyone pay attention to keeping warm, don't get the wind chill...... Damn, I thought it was a smooth journey, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of weather. When we arrived at Yingyin, I invited everyone to drink. But tonight, I have to be wronged first. ”

"Childe, this is very aggrieved."

Xia Houlan replied with a smile.

Compared with the fight in Xiaotan, although the conditions in front of him are not good, it is also a kind of luck.

The two sat down on the other side of the campfire, and Xia Houlan was in charge of preparing the meal. The meal is very simple, in fact, it is porridge water boiled into dough, adding some dogwood, the entrance is a little spicy, but in this weather, and a mouthful of such porridge water, it is better than big fish and big meat......

"Ah Fu, do you want to recommend Yuan Zhi?"

"Huh?"

"You went to Yingyin with me this time, did you want to recruit Yuan Zhi?"

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Shi Yuan, do you think Yuan Zhi is willing to follow me?"

"This ......"

"I'm still a little self-aware, and with my talent, I may not be able to look down on me.

I've just heard that his mother is very assertive and very strong. So I'd like to pay a visit and see if I can help.

If he is possible, he will not be able to be a colleague with Yuan Zhi, and he can have more affection and care for each other. ”

Pang Tong smiled, "Yuan Zhi is a very high-spirited person. ”

"Yes!"

"But this person is also the most filial."

Pang Tong raised his head, looked at Cao Peng, and said softly: "If the old lady wants him to help you, he will definitely obey." ”

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said softly: "Shiyuan, can we make it simpler." I didn't mean anything other than to visit. Speaking of which, you and I are considered to be the same family, if it weren't for the accident, I wouldn't be able to say that I am also studying under Mr. Shuijing now. The word 'filial piety' is the most important thing in my life, and I hate it when someone makes a fuss about this 'filial piety', which is really unworthy of the son of man.

If you think I have any other intentions, I'll go back after dawn......"

Pang Tong's expression was straight, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Ah Fu, don't blame it...... I didn't mean that, I just thought it was a little weird.

To tell the truth, your fame is 100 times greater than that of Yuan Zhi, and your talent may not be lost to Yuan Zhi. So attentive, so ...... Afu, please forgive me. ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Truth be told, he was initially utilitarian, but later ......

Maybe it's because of this era for a long time, it is inevitable that some of the ancients' thoughts will be contaminated in their temperament.

The word 'filial piety' is the road of humanity, and if it is mixed with utilitarianism, it will inevitably make people laugh. Besides, with Cao Peng's current situation, what help can he give Xu Shu? The reason why he came was because he heard Pang Tong mention some of the past events of Xu Shu's mother, so he had a respect.

According to Pang Tong, Xu Shu killed people to avenge his friends and became a prisoner of the ranks.

After Shi Tao and others managed to rescue him, Xu Shu went home overnight, but saw the old lady holding a rattan cane, waiting in the house......

The old lady severely reprimanded Xu Shu and beat Xu Shu with a rattan cane twenty times, which made Xu Shu repent. What Pang Tong said was very simple, but Cao Peng believed that it was by no means as simple as twenty rattan canes. The old lady can make a brave and ruthless ranger become a student, and there must be an untold story. Xu Shu was studying abroad, and the old lady stayed at home alone, and did not drag Xu Shu down...... This heart of Jackie Chan really made Cao Peng feel admired.

Therefore, when Pang Tong asked, Cao Peng couldn't help but feel it.

"Actually, I would prefer that Shiyuan could stay and help me."

"What?"

After being silent for a while, Cao Peng suddenly spoke.

Pang Tong held the porridge bowl, raised his head in amazement, and looked at Cao Peng.

Cao Peng said: "I hope Shiyuan can stay by my side and help me." ”

"This ......"

"Brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to me.

Humanity is better than reading 10,000 books than traveling 10,000 miles. To be honest, it is naturally a good thing that my brother wants to travel the world. But the problem is that brother, your identity is destined to make it impossible for you to really contact those ordinary people. You are the name of the big Pang and the small Pang Shangshu after the Pang Gong of Lumen Mountain, which is well known to the world. No matter where you go, you can only be superficial, how much can you feel the real suffering of the people?

The insight of the world is all knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article.

Brother, how talented Xun Wenruo was at the beginning, and how much did he benefit from traveling the world?

On the contrary, after being in his position, his talents have been continuously improved, and now he can be Shang Shuling and take charge of himself. My brother is at home, and he can't learn much. You might as well stay here and help me out. I don't dare to say how noble I am, but I believe that it is better than wandering around and watching the flowers...... When I was apprenticed, my mentor, Mr. Kong Ming, asked me what my ambitions were.

Brother, do you know, how do I answer? ”

Pang Tong hesitated, shook his head and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

"I say to my teacher, my ambition: to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to continue to learn for the saints, and to open peace for all generations."

When Pang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but tremble.

He raised his head and looked at Cao Peng, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Cao Peng again.

"Brother, listen to me.

I know I'm arrogant. At that time, the teacher said that I had chosen an extremely hard path...... But I don't regret it.

It's going to be a long road, and I don't even know how to move forward, so I can only grope in secret.

The teacher said that I would be very lonely...... But I don't think so. I believe that there will always be someone who will accompany me down this path! After getting to know my brother, I knew that he was also a man with big ambitions. So I asked my brother to come with me, so that they could rely on each other in times of trouble.

Zi said: There are friends from afar.

I want to be friends with my brother, but I don't know, can my younger brother have this honor? ”

Pang Tong is a little dizzy!

Cao Peng's words really caught him off guard.

He left home this time because he really wanted to travel the world and increase his knowledge. To be honest, if Cao Peng didn't talk about it, he might not be willing to stay. After all, Pang Tong has the pride of Pang Tong. The food that came was not what he wanted, even if he was quite close to Cao Peng.

But now, Cao Peng spoke......

Pang Tong didn't know how to refuse.

Because of his ugly appearance, he has never had any friends.

Shuijing Villa, the so-called classmates, seems to respect him on the surface, but in fact they respect his parents, not him. Behind the scenes, I don't know how to mock ...... Even if he is good friends with Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Shi Tao and others, but how much love is there?

People with self-esteem tend to have lower self-esteem.

Cao Peng's words touched the string in Pang Tong's heart.

For 22 years, Pang Tong's desire for friendship has been far greater than that of ordinary people.

After Cao Peng said this, he didn't say any more. He knew that Pang Tong also had to think about it carefully.

"Wu Nadao, I have already said that this place has been occupied, let you go to rest elsewhere, why are you still here?"

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the ancestral hall.

Immediately after that, I heard a familiar voice say: "It's not that I'm entangled, but this is a hundred miles around, and there is only this temple...... I'm only two people here, and I don't have much space. This man, why don't you be accommodating and let us shelter from the wind and snow, and we will never cause you any trouble. ”

Cao Peng got up and walked out.

Xiahoulan and Han De also followed him to the door of the ancestral hall.

"Xianghu, why is it noisy?"
