Chapter 514: Cooperation

Although Xun You has not officially debuted yet, but now it is also famous, Liu Xin still remembers that he asked Cao Cao about the situation of the Xun family before - the focus is naturally on Xun Yu and Xun You, knowing that Xun You should be a temporary teacher in Yingchuan Academy at this time.

However, Liu Xin also knew that Xun You was officially appointed when He Jin was in power, and now He Jin has just begun to integrate the rights in his hands, which can be regarded as letting Liu Xin pick up a leak, after all, Xun You, who became an official in Luoyang, is unlikely to be sent to his own hands by the Xun family nine times out of ten.

However, Liu Xin now also has an idea, that is, Xun You may have taken the initiative to decide and take this opportunity to come to his own, because Xun You is now twenty-three years old, and it stands to reason that as a descendant of a first-class family in the Han Dynasty, he should have become an official a long time ago, but now, Xun You is still a teacher in Yingchuan Academy, and he is also a temporary worker, and there is something wrong in this.

But think about it, Xun You has been fatherless and motherless since he was a child, relying on his grandfather and uncle to live, and his grandfather also died when Xun You was very young, so Xun You can only rely on his uncle.

And Xun You's uncle will naturally use the resources in his hands on his son, and in a situation like Xun You, even if he is talented, not many people are willing to give his will to Xun You, right?

This is the family, especially the first-class family like the Xun family, the internal competition is also great, like Xun You, a fatherless and motherless side branch, although the family will still support Xun You's life and study, so that Xun You can live a comfortable life, but it will not provide Xun You with many opportunities to become officials, so Xun You can only come to Liu Xin through personal efforts to make a career.

Liu Xin could only express his understanding of this, but this made Liu Xin very happy, because if it weren't for this, the Xun family would not have been able to send Xun You to their own hands.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin nodded, and said to Xun Yu with a smile: "In fact, this king has also heard some rumors about your Xun family, so this king has also counted on your Xun family, and found that there are three people in your Xun family generation who can become a masterpiece of the world, that is, Brother Wen Ruo, your "Wang Zuozhicai", and Brother Wen Ruo, your younger brother Xun Chen, and finally Brother Wen Ruo, Xun Yu Xun Gongda, who you just mentioned, this person can be called the "master", in terms of the application of wisdom on the battlefield, today can at least become the top three, It just so happens that this king is now going back to Yizhou to serve as the assassin of history, and the biggest goal of this king is to pacify the barbarians in the south of Yizhou, and now your Xun family can send Xun Gongda to serve this king, and this king is very happy. ”

Liu Xin's words can be said to be very sincere, and directly said the strength of Xun You's ability, after all, the title of "master" is enough to explain everything, and this title is basically only under Zhang Liang's "sage".

Xun Yu is now beginning to wonder if those elders of the Xun family heard about Liu Xin's evaluation of Xun Yu, would they choose to break the contract?

After all, it's still the same sentence, how can the Xun family be willing to let go casually with such a powerful talent, but there is no possibility of breaking the contract, after all, the Xun family is now seeking cooperation with Liu Xin, and it is the Xun family asking for help from Liu Xin's side, so Liu Xin is the party responsible for leading, and in terms of Liu Xin's current identity and status, the Xun family can't afford to mess with Liu Xin...

Therefore, it is impossible for the Xun family to break the contract with Liu Xin, unless the Xun family finds a new thigh, and this thigh must be willing to offend Liu Xin for the Xun family.

Of course, now Xun Yu remembered that this morning, Xun You found himself, hoping that he could promote the cooperation between the Xun family and Liu Xin, because Xun You really hopes that he can become an official as soon as possible and achieve a career, and then he can rejuvenate his own side branch that has been broken!

And Xun Yu is also very optimistic about his eldest nephew, and Xun Yu also feels that what happened to his eldest nephew is also very unfair, and even for Xun Yu, Xun Yu also has a feeling of sympathy, because Xun Yu thought of his wife who was a round older than himself, which was completely unaware of himself... Or when he was still in a state of ignorance, his father "sold himself" for his own interests, or for the interests of the family, and now Xun Yu, who was originally very capable, was unwilling to provide Xun You with certain resources because his parents died when he was a child, so that Xun Yu could only teach in Yingchuan Academy helplessly, which also made Xun Yu feel that the family was very unfair...

Although Xun Yu felt that the family's approach was a little unfair, Xun Yu also knew that it was impossible for him to change anything now, so Xun Yu felt that he needed to change Xun You's current life, so Xun Yu decided not to report Liu Xin's comments on Xun You to the elders of the family in order to ensure that there were no accidents.

So, after the two sides reached a consensus, Xun Yu reached a verbal agreement with Liu Xin on behalf of the Xun family, Liu Xin will help the Xun family, and Xun Yu's father will get the position of Yanzhou Assassin, and the Xun family will arrange for the Xun family talents led by Xun You to nominally break away from the Xun family (to put it bluntly, Xun You and others joined Liu Xin's subordinates in their own name, not in the name of the Xun family) to become officials under Liu Xin, and the Xun family will decide whether to continue to send the family members of the Xun family to Liu Xin according to the development of the matter.

Of course, Liu Xin has to give them a suitable official position for these Xun family children who have taken refuge in him, if these Xun family children are not worthy of their name, Liu Xin also has the right to directly let these Xun family children go home, and the Xun family will re-send the Xun family children to replace the previous Xun family children... To put it simply, this is the Xun family's willingness to return and exchange goods. . .

So, in an atmosphere of great joy for both parties, Liu Xin and Xun Yu toasted each other with a glass of wine - because this is the VIP room of Luoyang Auction House, it is natural to prepare all kinds of wine, but like wine, such a "cup of gold", He Jin is also reluctant to put it out, but although the alcohol in the Han Dynasty is not high, but some of the fine wines taste very good, which makes Liu Xin feel very delicious, so recently Liu Xin has arranged for Su Jia to buy a batch of fine wines in Luoyang City, ready to bring them back to Yizhou Chengdu.

After the end of the cooperation talks, Xun Yu was going to get up and say goodbye, but was pulled out of the door by Cao Cao, chatting with laughter, Liu Xin, who saw this scene, couldn't help but sigh A sentence of impermanence in the world, the current Cao Cao and Xun Yu are still very good friends, and Xun Yu in history also provided great help for Cao Cao's hegemony, but in the end, Cao Cao's ambitions, which occupied half of the Han Dynasty, gradually revealed, and conspired with Dong Zhao and others under him, and respected himself as the Duke of Wei, Jiajiu Xi (Jiu Xi is the ancient emperor's nine kinds of rewards to ministers, including chariots and horses, clothes, musical instruments, samurai, bows and arrows, etc., which is also the highest courtesy of the monarch to the minister), and Xun Yu, as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, disagreed with this, and admonished Cao Cao with righteousness, "(Cao Cao) Benxing volunteers to Kuang Dynasty Ningguo, with loyalty and sincerity, to defend the fact of retreat; A gentleman loves others with virtue, and it should not be so", in the end, he was not accepted by Cao Cao, and it caused Cao Cao's dissatisfaction, and finally touched Cao Cao's heart of harm.

In the same year, Cao Cao personally led the troops to the south to conquer Sun Quan, so Xun Yu went to the county to work in the army, after Xun Yu arrived, Cao Cao took the opportunity to leave him in the army, and then named Xun Yu as a servant, Guanglu doctor, holding festivals, participating in the prime minister's military, but these are just false positions, and then Cao Cao ordered Xun Yu to go along.

Here, it will be divided into two statements.

The first theory is that Xun Yu knew that the current Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with what he had done, so he intended to harm himself, so Xun Yu stopped at Shouchun under the pretext of illness, who knew that Cao Cao sent a box of food and drink at this time, and there was nothing in it, implying that Xun Yu had no effect, hoping to let Xun Yu make a decision on his own, with Xun Yu's ability to naturally understand its meaning, and also knew that it was inevitable, so Xun Yu decided to commit suicide by taking poison at the age of fifty.

As for the second theory, it is very simple, that is, Cao Cao's army was wet, Xun Yu stayed in Shouchun due to illness, and died of worry soon after.

Liu Xin's two statements about Xun Yu's death are naturally more biased towards the second one, because Xun Yu has always been the first strategist under Cao Cao, and it can be said that he was the first group of people to follow Cao Cao, Cao Cao's friendship with Xun Yu can be said to be quite deep, and although Cao Cao has always had the intention of replacing the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Han Xian once wanted to give way to Cao Cao, Cao Cao finally chose to refuse, and he was just the king of Wei in the end of his life.

Why Cao Cao did not claim the title of emperor, Liu Xin thinks there are several reasons, first, Cao Cao He understands very well that when the world was in turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty and the heroes rose together, it was more justifiable to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes than Cao Cao himself to call the emperor to crusade, if he abolished the emperor and stood on his own, then Cao Cao would undoubtedly be guilty of public anger and lose the hearts and minds of the people, and then the princes and the people would unite against him; And judging from the situation all along, the pro-Han faction can be described as a "hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff", there are still a large number of Han ministers in the court, and the world's big families are not willing to change the dynasty casually, because this will affect their interests, so if Cao Cao rashly claims to be the emperor, he will definitely give political enemies and pro-Han faction forces an excuse in public opinion, so that he will fall into political passivity, and throughout Cao Cao's life, internal opposition (mainly Xun Yu) and rebellion mostly occurred when he was named Duke of Wei, After the King of Wei, it is the best proof, therefore, Cao Cao continued to maintain the signboard of offering the emperor, which still has a non-negligible role in appeasing the pro-Han faction and consolidating the interior.

Second, even if Cao Cao can use force to eliminate the local separatist forces one by one, however, Cao Cao is unable to make the entire family class obey him, this is Cao Cao's metaphor of the furnace, but also his strategy as a politician, although Cao Cao also killed many leaders of this class, such as Kong Rong, Cui Yan and others, but this is a famous teacher, for the entire class of the Han family, Cao Cao does not dare to underestimate, after all, among the important people under Cao Cao, there are many people from the family, Moreover, most of the finances and land of Cao Wei's forces were in the hands of the clans, so Cao Cao did not dare to offend the clans at will.

Third, Sun Quan's two or five boys pretended to belong to Cao Cao, on the bright side, Cao Cao has now won three-quarters of the Han Dynasty, which can completely replace the Han Dynasty, so Sun Quan is also persuading Cao Cao to be the emperor, but this is also from his own interests, first of all, Sun Quan thinks that this can gain Cao Cao's trust, so as to achieve reconciliation between Wu and Wei, and he can concentrate on dealing with Shu Han, and in the Battle of Xiangfan, Sun Quan attacked Guan Yu from behind in order to recapture Jingzhou from Liu Bei, and helped Cao Cao a lot, But offended Liu Bei, and the 10-year alliance between Wu and Shu came to an end, at which time Sun Quan needed to ease the contradictions with Cao Wei more than ever, otherwise he would fall into the disadvantageous situation of being attacked by the enemy, and Sun Quan believed that if Cao Cao really became emperor, the pro-Han faction would strongly oppose it, and Cao Cao would be in a difficult situation and reduce the threat to Wu. Therefore, Sun Quanyang disobeyed, and Cao Cao saw through Sun Quan's intentions and refused to be easily fooled.

Fourth, at least from the fifteenth year of Jian'an (that is, 210 AD), Cao Cao repeatedly said "self-evident Benzhi", saying that he had absolutely no intention of being self-reliant on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and his words were sincere, and in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao had been talking about Cao Cao for almost ten years, and now if he suddenly changes his mind and denies his previous remarks, it will inevitably have an adverse impact on his reputation and reputation, so it is better to insist on playing the trick.

Fifth, Cao Cao was originally a practical person, as long as he grasped the real power, the false name is not important, just like the sentence "Rather teach me to bear the world, stop teaching the world to bear me", it can be seen that Cao Cao is not a person who values false fame, and the phrase "to have government is also to govern" is also a true portrayal of Cao Cao's inner thoughts.

In addition, in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (that is, in 219 AD), Cao Cao was 65 years old at this time, which was already equivalent to the centenarian of the current Han Dynasty, and it is estimated that Cao Cao also knew that he would die soon, which may also be a reason why he was reluctant to be the emperor.

All in all, Cao Cao at this time did not have the idea of being the emperor, and Cao Cao also knew that Xun Yu belonged to the kind of "moderate royalist faction", even if Xun Yu was allowed to stay and continue to assist his son Cao Pi, there would be no problem, so Cao Cao should have no reason to kill Xun Yu, not to mention that if Cao Cao killed Xun Yu, it would inevitably chill those old ministers under him.

Therefore, Liu Xin thinks that Xun Yu should die of depression, after all, these literati in ancient times have a common problem, that is, they like to think too much, Xun Yu may be worried that Cao Cao will replace the Han with Cao Wei, so he is worried that he will become ill and finally die.

As for the first statement, it may have been artistically processed.
