Chapter 88: Xun Yu Visits
A sparse and ordinary ordinary letter, which was not signed, Gongsun Yi opened it casually, and at a glance, it was full of greetings that did not reach the meaning of the words, but the signature was very familiar, from Meng Gang under Dong Zhuo, the cavalry captain of the Xiliang Army.
At the beginning, Gongsun Yi sent Meng Gang to kill Wu Kuang, took He Miao's head from his hands, and recommended Dong Zhuo as a general, because he first said bad things about Gongsun Yi by Dong Zhuo's side, and was more and more important by Dong Zhuo, and now he has been mixed up under Dong Zhuo, but this is Gongsun Yi ordered Meng Gang to do it deliberately.
Now that a letter suddenly came, even Gongsun Yi couldn't guess the intention, looking left and right through the letter, there was not much content, could it be that he sent people all the way to deliver the letter, just for the ambiguous words that did not reach the meaning?
Gongsun Yi groaned for half a salary, and suddenly his heart moved, and he opened the excitement casually, looked left and right, and sure enough, he quickly found that in the envelope of the letter, there were a lot of small characters written on it, and Gongsun Yi took it and looked at it carefully.
"The lord, Dong thief is brutal, killing a lot of powerful people, poisoning the people everyone is angry, a few days ago ordered to poison the Hongnong King Liu Wei, kill the queen mother, monopolize the power, now Chang'an is surging, but also ask the lord to make it clear what to do, sent to send the letter is the Xiao cavalry cronies, the lord can tell it himself."
Gongsun Yi put down the letter and smiled indifferently, it seemed that Chang'an was about to change, and Dong Zhuo's death was approaching, so he casually put the envelope into the incense burner and destroyed it, and turned to Lang Sheng: "The messenger who sent the letter is coming quickly." β
After half the salary, a slightly swarthy lean man walked in, hugged his fist and saluted Gongsun Yi: "Lord Gongsun, my family hopes to reply as soon as possible. β
"Shut up!" Gongsun Yi suddenly glared angrily, "Come on, pull me down and cut it down!" As soon as the words fell, several guards with tigers on their backs rushed in and quickly captured the thin man, but the thin man did not see the slightest fear in his eyes, and looked at Gongsun Yi indifferently.
"Slow, all stand down." Gongsun Yi suddenly stopped the guards and pulled them back.
The thin man moved his arm that had been captured before, and looked at Gongsun Yi with an indifferent expression and did not say a word.
"Very good, don't blame it." Gongsun Yi hugged his fists and saluted.
The lean man hurriedly bowed in return, not daring.
Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, although the letter is intact, it does not mean that it has not been opened when it falls into the hands of others, whether the lean man in front of him is a cronie sent by Meng Gang, Gongsun Yi is not sure, seeing that the other party is not shocked, in the previous moment, he showed the courage to see death as home, and won the trust of Gongsun Yi.
"Lord Gongsun, please make it clear."
Gongsun Yi led the lean man to the inner hall, sat down as the guest of honor, and Gongsun Yi pondered for a moment and said: "You go back and tell Meng Gang that Dong Zhuo's rebellious ministers and thieves will be punished by everyone, I'm afraid that time is running out, Wang Yun and others will inevitably instigate Lu Bu and others to attack and kill Dong Thief, and the court will inevitably be in chaos." β
"Please General Meng must rescue Cai Yong's family, if the opportunity is right, please come out of Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, who is in Chang'an, and tie them up."
The thin man was slightly puzzled, he didn't know who this Jia Xu was, and he actually got so much attention from Gongsun Yi, but he wouldn't ask about these words, he just came to follow orders.
After receiving the order, the lean man refused many times, so he could only ride the gold and silver given by Gongsun Yi and ride a fast horse towards Chang'an.
Chang'an is about to change, Dong Zhuo's death will inevitably be chaotic, although Lu Bu and Wang Yun are in power, but they still can't resist Li Dao and others in the old department of the Xiliang Army, Gongsun Yi doesn't care if Jia Xu, who will make plans and instigate Li Dao and others to support troops and storm Chang'an, will change history if he kidnaps him, as long as the safety of Cai Yan's family is guaranteed.
Gongsun Yi was just about to rest, but soon there were guards outside to report, saying that there was a Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao envoy asking to see, and the guards who reported were also full of helplessness, for fear that Gongsun Yi would be angry with him, but fortunately, Gongsun Yi just smiled bitterly and muttered that it was the life of hard work, so he ordered the messenger to come in.
After half the salary, a man wearing a Jinxian crown, a long coat and a coat, a strange and ancient appearance, and an elegant and elegant man walked into the hall, and saluted Gongsun with a fist: "Xiaguan Xunyu, I am here to meet you on the order of Yanzhou Mu." β
Gongsun Yi was shocked in his heart, and the Xun Yu in front of him was Xun Yu, who was later called Wang Zuozhicai for Cao Cao, who had repeatedly revised Cao Cao's strategic policy and was appreciated by Cao Cao, and laid immortal achievements for the establishment of the northern Wei regime.
Gongsun Yi secretly regretted, in fact, Gongsun Yi had already sent someone to Jizhou to inquire about Xun Yu's news, but he found nothing, but he didn't expect that now he was Cao Cao's staff, Gongsun Yi knew very well that Cao Cao's heavy talents, it was difficult to serve others, especially Xun Yu's scholars, when they took refuge, the entire scholar clan would serve Cao Cao, and there was no chance to dig the foot of the wall.
"Lord Gongsun?" Xun Yu saw that Gongsun Yi's eyes were cloudy, but he didn't say anything, and couldn't help but ask with his fists.
"Rude, Mr. Xun, please take a seat," said to the servant on the side, "Hurry up and serve tea and snacks." β
"Don't dare, Lord Gongsun, please."
The guest of honor sat down, and Gongsun Yi clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother Cao is doing lately?" β
"The blessing of Lord Gongsun, although he is very busy every day, he is happy physically and mentally." Xun Yu naturally knew the relationship between Gongsun Yi and Cao Cao, when Cao Cao actually risked offending the Yanzhou scholars, forcibly bought cattle and grain to aid Qingzhou, the relationship can be seen, and the words are also free.
"It's so good, but I don't know why Mr. Xun came this time?"
"Lord Sun Yi, Yuan Shao has coveted Jizhou for a long time, and now he is a strong soldier, making friends with scholars, and obviously intends to occupy Jizhou for himself, but Jizhou Mu Han Fu doesn't know it, and he trusts Yuan Shao a lot, but he doesn't know that he is fat on the lips of others." Xun Yu's tone was flat, and he seemed to be full of disdain for Han Fu.
"I have heard of this matter, although the Yuan family's protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the place, and there are many scholars in Jizhou who are attached to the Yuan family, if Yuan Shao raises his arms and shouts, he will naturally be loyal to it, but that Han Fu has military power and has been operating in Jizhou for many years, I am afraid that he will never give it up easily, how does Lord Xun think Yuan Shao will occupy Jizhou?"
Although Gongsun Yi knew that Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou very easily in history, as for the record that sent lobbyists to Han Fu to explain the stakes bluntly, he forced Han Fu to hand over Jizhou, such a thing is impossible, no matter how mediocre Han Fu is, he will never easily hand over his place to live, how Yuan Shao acts, is also Gongsun Yi's active concern.
"Lord Gongsun, if I am Yuan Shao, as long as I secretly send someone to Ling Zun with a book, and let Lord Gongsun Chan enter the army to take Jizhou, and falsely attack him, Lord Gongsun Chan will inevitably raise troops to attack, Han Fu is unscrupulous, he must ask Yuan Shao to lead the army to resist, Yuan Shao can easily take the matter, and Jizhou is within reach." Xun Yu was very confident and said categorically.
Gongsun Yi's heart was shocked, Xun Yu seemed to be understated, but in a few words, he made the plan to seek Jizhou clear, although it seemed bland, but Yuan Shao was very likely to rely on this method to take Jizhou without blood.
"Mr. Xun, if I immediately repair a letter at this time to warn Han Fu to be careful of Yuan Shao, and then attack Yuan Shao's headquarters at any time on the border of Chen Bing, can I prevent Yuan Shao from going south to Jizhou?"
Jizhou is the land of abundance, there are many soldiers, and the people are rich in Yinzhou, no matter what, Yuan Shao must not be allowed to get Jizhou so easily, otherwise Yuan Shao's next attack will inevitably be Qingzhou, and Gongsun Yi lacks strategists around him at this time.
Although there are generals such as Tai Shici and Tian Yu, but the lack of strategic vision, it is very likely to win local battles, but lose the entire territory of Qingzhou.
As for Yan Ming to lead the troops to attack Yuan Shao, it is to test Cao Cao's attitude, I believe that Xun Yu, who came as an envoy, can fully represent Cao Cao, and more importantly, for Cao Cao, he also does not want Yuan Shao to easily take over Jizhou and become the most powerful prince, whether it is Qingzhou or Yanzhou, it will be Yuan Shao's goal.
"Lord Gongsun doesn't have to hesitate, Xun Yu is here to make a plan with Lord Gongsun, even if Yuan Shao takes Jizhou, he will never have the ability to continue the attack, and the Yuan family is in the same situation at this time, sooner or later there will be a battle, and then you just need to watch the fire from the other side."
Xun Yu's words seemed to have magical power, which calmed down Gongsun Yi for a while, and secretly regretted that Xun Yu had followed Cao Cao while listening to the plan.
