Chapter 49: Offering the Sword
(2-in-1 chapter, that's it for today)
"My lord, he is the son of the brother of the lower clan, Xun You, the word Gongda. Knowing military affairs, he is known to be anxious and wise. If the adult does not dislike it, he may be able to offer advice to the adult. Xun Shuo said.
"If that's the case, then it's even better, I don't know if Gongda is willing to join a certain army and discuss the military with a certain one?" Chen Qiong looked at Xun Xiu with burning light, Ni Mei, finally met a person who understands military affairs, military is a technical job, in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, technical workers who understand military affairs are very popular, whether they go to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or other mountains, they can make a name for themselves, as for Xun You's age, Chen Qiong doesn't care very much, as the saying goes, heroes don't ask for a way out, hooligans don't look at age. There are many examples of young people having ability, didn't Zhuge Liang bring soldiers before he left the mountain.
"I wonder what you think about the current situation? What do you think of Yuzhou? Xun You didn't directly apply for the effect, nor did he say no, but asked such a rather general question.
"The chaos is coming, Dong Zhuo killed He Miao, collected He into the old department, and brought the department into Beijing, the climate has been completed. coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world. Sitting on 100,000 elite soldiers, Xiliang Han Sui, Ma Teng and others also regarded Dong Zhuo as the same kind and obeyed the order to stop the army. Bingzhou is close to Beijing, Dong Zhuo categorically will not sit back and watch Ding Yuan snore under the couch, and then collect the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou. Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry has more than 200,000 soldiers, and there is no match in the world. ”
"If that's the case, why don't you vote for Dong Zhuo as soon as possible to find a career." Xun You said with an indifferent smile.
"Qiang Qin II died, the overlord of Western Chu dominated the world, no one could beat him, and he still ended up killing himself in Wujiang. It shows that the person who has the last laugh is not the strongest. Dong Zhuo was born recklessly, vulgar, brutal and murderous, ambitious and talented. Before entering Beijing, Shang Neng is meritocracy, and once he is in power, he will get carried away. The princes of the world regard him as an enemy, and sooner or later he will be in a different place. The 200,000 Xiliang army was leaderless and went their own way. The local princes fought in groups, and it was a situation of blood flowing and millions of corpses. ”
As soon as Xu You opened his mouth, Chen Qiong knew that the other party was probing his bottom to see if he was worth following and whether he had great ambitions. After all, there are soldiers and food with the emperor, and there are rags and scavengers with Brother Sharp. However, Brother Hao has not been idle during this time, and has collected a lot of information in this era, and there is still a framework for the general trend of the Three Kingdoms in general.
"I don't know what adults know about Yuzhou?" After listening to Chen Qiong's judgment on the general trend of the world, Xu You's eyes lit up, which was roughly the same as what he deduced, but what Chen Qiong said also had a lot of unique ways, even clearer than his thinking, which was refreshing.
"The place of the four wars in Yuzhou has no danger to defend, and it is difficult to rely on as a foundation. However, the foundation of a certain is all here, and it is really difficult to give up. There are many heroes in the north, and the heroes are competing, and it is not appropriate to be mixed in them, according to Yuzhou to the south, or to the east, it is difficult to decide for the time being. Chen Qiong said truthfully.
"Liu Yan has been based in Yizhou, Bashu is dangerous, with the power of adults, it is difficult to enter Shu. Don't hide it from your lord, because of the difficulties and dangers of Shu Road and the turmoil of the situation, you will be in Runan to learn the years. As the adults said, the heroes of the north rose up together, and the heroes competed for the deer. Although the adults have more than 10,000 people, the use of force in the north is still weak. Only to the east, Jingzhou, Yangzhou fertile thousands of miles, there is no male master. These two places can compete for the Son of Heaven to the north, and Jiangdong can be swept to the south, so that the great cause can be accomplished. Xun You said.
"Gongda's words are reasonable, but such a big plan cannot be done by one person, I don't know if Gongda is willing to help a certain arm?"
Chen Qiong said expectantly, Sister Ni, it can be seen from Xun You's conversation that this guy is a very capable person, as for how capable he is, he will have to confirm it later. Although Xun You's reputation in history is not obvious, his reputation under Cao Cao is far lower than that of Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others. It's also because he's too low-key. In fact, Xun Xiu is an extremely good tactician. Dissuade Cao Cao from using troops to Lu Bu, and then flood Pi and capture Lu Bu alive. During the pacification of Hebei, he advocated Cao Cao to eliminate the sons of Yuan Shao and made great contributions, but he died of illness on the way to the Battle of Chibi, and Cao Cao had Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other outstanding strategists, so he was not famous.
"I am willing to serve the Lord!" Xu You bowed down and bowed, Xu You did not choose the benefactor, once identified, he was wholeheartedly and never double-minded.
"Hurry up, please get up, it's really like a tiger to help you." Chen Qiong was overjoyed when she heard this.
…………
"Dong Zhuo was brutal, poisoned the young emperor, the queen mother, stayed in the dragon bed at night, and fornicated with the court. I want Emperor Gao to punish Qin and destroy Chu, and the world is dying; Whoever wants to pass it on to this day is lost at the hands of Dong Zhuo. On Situ Wang Yun's birthday, his former colleagues were all there, and Wang Yun cried loudly when he said that he was sad.
The surrounding officials thought that Dong Zhuo was now in control of the government, killing and seizing, and the lord humiliated the ministers to death, and they couldn't help crying.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter, "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, cry together, cry until the night, cry until the night, cry until tomorrow, day after day, can you cry to death Dong Zhuo?" ”
So many people were crying, but there was one person who laughed, which undoubtedly provoked the anger of the public, Wang Yun looked at it angrily, only to see that the person who laughed was the famous Cao Cao, and said angrily, "Your ancestor also eats the Lu Han family, why do you laugh if you don't want to repay your kindness today?" ”
Cao Cao straightened his shirt and said, "Yuan Benchu (Yuan Shao) rushed to the Taishou when the dynasty, and now he has gone to Bohai to recruit troops and buy horses, and he can raise troops to fight Dong at any time. ”
"I want to hear about it." Cao Cao would undoubtedly pull a lot of hatred in normal times when he said this, but compared to Dong Zhuo at this time, this offense is nothing. Hearing that Cao Cao had a way to kill Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun was overjoyed and asked.
Cao Cao said, "Dong Zhuo is powerful, it is difficult to match head-on, and he has recently committed himself to serve Zhuo, not to serve him sincerely, but to win his trust." Now Dong Zhuo believes in me, I can get close to Dong Zhuo, I heard that Situ has a seven-star treasure knife, and I am willing to kill Dong Zhuo in the name of offering a knife, although there is no regret in death! ”
"Meng De really has a heart, if he can perform, the world will be very lucky." Wang Yun and everyone present praised each other after hearing this, anyway, good words don't need to be bought with silver, people fought hard to kill Dong Zhuo, such a life-threatening thing, how could ordinary people dare to do it. Wang Yun then took the knife and gave it to Cao Cao.
The next day, Cao Cao Saber went directly to Caprice Mansion and asked his entourage where Dong Zhuo was, and after learning that Dong Zhuo was sleeping, Cao Cao strode in directly. During this time, he has earned a lot of trust from Dong Zhuo, even if he brings a knife in, there is no problem. When I went in, Dong Zhuo had already gotten up, and the man next to him was handsome, eight feet tall, with a strong and well-proportioned body, and his arms were stretched and he stood with a sword, it was the fierce man Lu Bu who Cao Cao had reversed from Ding Yuan.
has successively incorporated Huangfu Song and Ding Yuan, and Dong Zhuo's position has been as stable as Mount Tai. Not long after coming to Beijing, he lost most of his previous kung fu, the sea ate and drank, and his body was a few times better than before, and Dong Zhuo sat on the edge of the bed like a pile of meat.
"Why is Meng De late?" Cao Cao Dong Zhuo is still very much in view, resourceful and decisive with his demeanor, from a low background, and most of his current status is made by himself. Therefore, Dong Zhuo is always kind when he speaks.
"The mount is not good at the ear." Cao Cao said with a wry smile.
"I see." Dong Zhuo smiled and said to Lu Bu, "I have a good horse from Xiliangjin, go there first, and choose a good horse to give to Meng De." ”
Lu Bu took the order to go, Dong Zhuo sat for a while because he was too fat, and felt tired, so he said a few words to Cao Cao and fell into bed, with his back to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao thought to himself that this guy was as fat as a pig, and he was not dead on a stilt now? Quietly draw the knife at the moment. Maybe it was Dong Zhuo who was still angry, he didn't have to die, his nose was a little itchy, and he felt something crawling on it, so he looked up at the bronze mirror at the head of the bed, and just saw Cao Cao behind him drawing a knife, and he was suddenly shocked, turned around and asked, "What does Meng De want?" ”
Cao Cao was startled, Nima, what kind of mirror are you sleeping well looking at? It couldn't be that Dong Zhuo was testing him just now, right? This fat man is too cunning. Seeing Dong Zhuo's eyes turn to sharpness, Cao Cao knew that Dong Zhuo was extremely powerful, although he was now unusually fat, with the experience of General Wu, Cao Cao knew that he had little chance of winning against the enemy. At this time, Lu Bu also went outside, and there was no chance. However, Cao Cao was also a little anxious, knelt down on one knee and held the BMW in front of him and said, "I heard that the prime minister loves knives, and he took a bite of the new treasure knife, so I came to present it to the prime minister." ”
Dong Zhuo took it and casually put it on the corner of the table, and the thick wooden table fell to the corner in response, and nodded, "Sure enough, the knife is good, I accepted it." ”
Cao Cao also untied the scabbard from his waist and presented it to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo got the new treasure knife, took Cao Cao's hand and walked out of the house to let him watch the horse.
Cao Cao was still in a cold sweat on his back at this time, his legs trembled slightly, and he took advantage of the situation and said, "Prime Minister, and get on the horse and give it a try." ”
"Okay, you go." Dong Zhuo nodded.
Cao Cao was like an amnesty, and Lu Bu saw a little clue, and now this guy is still frowning, and from time to time he casts a suspicious gaze, Cao Cao knows that Lu Bu must be suspicious of him. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so let's run away first.
On the horse, Cao Cao ran a few laps away from Dong Zhuo's sight, and then went out of the east gate of the Beijing Division, galloping away without looking back, even ignoring the goods in the house, although Cao Cao was still young at this time, he couldn't see the small generals around Dong Zhuo's entry into the Beijing Division, but he was shocked and unchanged, once he found a bad sign, he could immediately abandon his side and dare to assassinate Dong Zhuo, such a bold and decisive person already has the most basic potential to become a hero.
"Father-in-law, there is something that the minister doesn't know whether to talk about or not." After Cao Cao left, Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
"My son is the first, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Dong Zhuo said.
"When Fang Cai'er led the horse over, he happened to bump into Cao Cao pulling out a knife behind his brother's back, and it seemed that he had other intentions, perhaps because he couldn't get away with the crime by pretending to sacrifice the knife again. In the future, when the father-in-law gets along with Cao Cao again, he should be strictly guarded. Lu Bu said carefully, although his martial arts are world-famous, the stepfather in front of him has raised more than 200,000 horses, and the stepfather's official has a big temper, so he has to speak quietly at this time.
"I also feel a little strange when I hear Feng Xian say this." Dong Zhuo was also suspicious at this time, Cao Cao's movements just now were too suspicious, and Li Ru arrived in a hurry at this time. Dong Zhuo grabbed Li Ru and talked about what happened just now.
"You must know that Cao Cao's intentions are simple, if it is really a knife, Cao Cao may have returned to the house at this time, if he intends to assassinate, I am afraid that he has fled from the nearest east gate at this time, and the prime minister will send someone to check it out." Li Ru said without thinking about it.
Dong Zhuo heard it and felt that it made sense, and immediately sent someone to ask Cao Cao's whereabouts, and it didn't take long to learn that Cao Cao had fled from the east gate for a period of time, and he was half angry at the moment, damn it, he treated Cao Cao well, why did Cao Cao kill him? What made Dong Zhuo even more angry was that Yuan Shao first collided with the court, Huangfu Song did not yield to him and was imprisoned by him, and now Cao Cao is also going to kill him, is it possible that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be enemies of him?
Kill, kill, kill! At this time, he didn't kill enough to kill those rebellious ministers and thieves, Dong Zhuo thought tyrannically in his heart.

"Liu Xuanyu, Liu Xuanjing has seen Lord Captain!" Two young men in their twenties saluted Chen Qiong.
"Don't be polite, my uncle once greeted me, Brother Xun, I will hand over the two of them to you, and you can just let go of the wasteland and reclaim the land, and strive to place more yellow turban pawns. Among them, military dependents are given priority, and most of the sergeants and soldiers of our army are subordinate soldiers, and if they are not properly handled, they are afraid that the army will be unstable. Chen Qiong and Liu Xuanyu, Liu Xuanjing politely handed over the person to Xun Shuo.
"Your lords will be relieved, and you will not disappoint them." Xun Shuo nodded and said.
"Report, my lord, Hu Ben Zhonglang will lead Yuan Shu to Nanyang with his entourage to recruit talents, and now tens of thousands of people have gathered, and the edict of Yuzhou Taishou to go to Nanyang to discuss state affairs." Soldier Pegasus came to report.
"What? Yuan Shu has come to Nanyang! "Chen Qiong's color changed, Ni Mei's, where is it not good, you have to go to Nanyang County, is this Yuan Shu and Lao Tzu guilty of eight characters?
"The lord is very jealous of Yuan Shu?" Xun You stood next to him and asked.
"What is the ability of Yuan Shu, I have not been in contact with it, and I don't know yet, but the fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family have a reputation all over the place. Many scholars have the heart to serve, although I have a small merit in exterminating the Yellow Turban, but compared with the prestige of the Yuan family, it is still far behind. Chen Qiong shook her head with a wry smile, no matter how hard a poor boy tries, it will take a long process to catch up with the rich second generation and the second generation of officials. Yuan Shu is a very lucky second-generation official.
"Yuan Shuyou was in contact with him when he was in Beijing, and this person was ambitious and talented, and narrow-minded. Although he is stationed in Runan at the moment, he is not the main enemy. Xun You comforted Chen Qiong and said.
"It's not that I'm afraid of him, but the Yuan family is too famous, and it's a pity that those Wenchen generals who serve under him." Chen Qiong shook his head and smiled, thinking of the previous Yellow Turban Double Hammer Commander Niu Yue, he still had some feelings in his heart, as a modern person, the most distinctive characteristics of the Three Kingdoms still made him unable to let go for a long time. How many heroes and unparalleled characters have played the eternal classics of the Three Kingdoms.
"The virtuous minister chooses the lord to serve, the good bird chooses the tree to perch, and the lord should not worry too much." Xun You laughed loudly, it turned out that Chen Qiong was worried about this. "I don't know how the lord plans to treat this Yuan Shu."
"Dong Zhuo is tyrannical, and the Yuan family is gaining momentum, so it is not appropriate for me to conflict with him at this time. If he is really anti-Dong, it is okay to join forces with him, if it is to sell his reputation and reputation, Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi also has more than 10,000 soldiers, so let Zhang Zhi have a headache for a while. Chen Qiong smiled freely, although the Han family was weakened to the extreme at this time, it still had a certain degree of prestige, and it was nothing to use this banner for the time being.
"You think the lord is going to Nanyang." Xun You said lightly.
"Why did Gongda say that?"
"Dong Zhuo went against the grain and brought about his own destruction, headed by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the local princes will rise up to fight for it, and the grudge between Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo in Changsha has reached the point where it cannot be resolved, and he will raise troops to go north. Changsha is too far away from Beijing, Sun Jian will definitely choose one side of the force to serve, and the Yuan family is the first choice, Zhang Zhi is quite selfish, and he will definitely be at odds with Yuan Shu, Zhang Zhi is afraid that Yuan Shu is not the opponent of Sun Jian, Nanyang County is rich in money and food, even if the lord can't conflict with Yuan Shu, he must intervene in it to get a piece of the pie, and he can't let Yuan Shu and Sun Jian take all the benefits. The lord went in the name of asking for Dong, and the two of them would definitely not embarrass the lord. Xun You said in an analysis.
"It's okay, then I'll go to Nanyang to meet Yuan Shao and Sun Jian for a while, and see how heroic the two are." Chen Qiong nodded, it is inevitable to ask for Dong, even if you lose some strength because of this, there is no way, in the era of the Three Kingdoms, you can't play without fame, even if you lose some soldiers and horses, as long as the foundation is still there, you will not hesitate.
