"In Xia Xun You, Xun Gongda!"

Two hours later, Zhang Huang and the others finally met Xun You, a son of the Xun family who was not inferior to Xun Yu, Xun Yue, Xun Chen and others in terms of talent. Compared with Xun Yu, who is a little young and immature, Xun Yu, the nephew of the seniority, looks more heroic and spiritual. And what surprised everyone the most was the inch-long tuft of beard on Xun You's chin, which showed the temperament of an adult man.

"You...... Are you Xun Wenruo's nephew? Li Tong's eyes widened with a look of disbelief.

It's no wonder he was so surprised, after all, Xun Yu looks a few years older than Xun Yu, plus he has served in the imperial court for a long time, and his conversation and demeanor are more decent than Xun Yu's, giving people a sense of maturity.

Xun You couldn't help but smile a little bitterly when he heard this, after all, the young Xun Yu was his uncle's business, not only Li Tong mentioned it, shook his head, he explained with a wry smile, "Wen Ruo is older than Yu in terms of seniority, there is nothing to do!" …… I can only blame my father for getting married too early! ”

Looking at his pretended sad face, Zhang Huang and the others couldn't help laughing. Compared with the self-disciplined and well-behaved Xun Yu, Xun Yu is more approachable, and he speaks wittily and wittily, without the frame of the Xun clan or officials in the DPRK and China, and his speech and demeanor make Zhang Huang and others like a spring breeze, so that although they have only met, they have a strong impression of this Xun family who seems to be the brother next door.

During the period when Zhang Huang and the others were invited to the hall of the residence, Xun You asked curiously, "Counting the days, you think that the little brothers should have arrived in Luoyang a few days ago, I don't want to arrive yesterday, could it be that the road is delayed?" ”

Zhang Huang and others were inevitably a little embarrassed when they heard this, and Xu Fu, who had had several encounters with Xun You, said, "When passing by the 'South Three Passes' south of Luoyang, the carriage accidentally crashed into the car when it turned, so it ......" The South Three Passes in his mouth refer to the Yique Pass, Dagu Pass and Xuanyuan Pass south of Luoyang. These three passes are not only the barrier to the south of Luoyang, but also the biggest battle in history for Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song to resist the first wave of Yingchuan Yellow Turbans to attack Luoyang.

"You guys walked?" Xun Yu laughed and laughed. I can't help but be secretly surprised. After all, Nansanguan is still a long way from Luoyang, in the current cold weather, heavy snow and wind flying, Zhang Huang and others actually trekked from Nansanguan to Luoyang, only delayed three or two days, which made Xun Yu couldn't help but feel surprised.

It can only be said that Xun You does not understand the endurance of the black feather crows in terms of hardship and hard work, and has no doubt that even if they are left in the desert where there are thousands of miles of uninhabited desert, these boys will be able to walk out.

"Sure enough, it's not an idle person!" Xun You nodded in approval, because in his opinion, his Xun clan disciples definitely did not have this perseverance and endurance. Including him.

Probably unable to resist Xun Yu's eager eyes, Zhang Huang was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly diverted the topic, took out Xun Yu's handwritten letter from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Xun You.

Unexpectedly, Xun You showed a somewhat playful smile on his face after receiving the letter, and said with a chuckle, "Wen Ruo likes you and a few others." ”

The black feather crows invariably recalled Xun Yu's old-fashioned and stern expression when talking about Confucianism, and couldn't help but shudder.

"How so?" Zhang Huang asked with a wry smile.

Xun You didn't explain, and opened the letter in front of Zhang Huang and others. I saw that the envelope contained only a blank piece of paper.

In an instant, Zhang Huang and the others understood, and at the same time, they also realized Xun Yu's 'kindness' to them. It turned out that Xun Yu was after hearing that they were going to Luoyang. was afraid that Zhang Huang and others would suffer in Luoyang without understanding the rules, so they lied that a letter from home was sent to Xun Yu and entrusted Zhang Huang to bring it by the way. But in fact, Xun Yu just asked Xun Yu to take care of Zhang Huang and the others.

Originally, Zhang Huang was still wondering. If it weren't for Ma Yuanyi, they wouldn't even be able to enter the inner city of Luoyang, how could they send this letter to Xun Yu for him, and now he understands. The so-called family letter is just a cover, Xun Yu's original intention was to let Zhang Huang and others go to Xun You to seek refuge.

[In the name of sending letters, he sent us a lot of silver tickets, and also sent a carriage to travel, but as a result, even the delivery of letters was just a pretense, and Xun Wenruo had already arranged a qiē for us...... This is a big deal. ]

Xu Fu, Li Tong, Chen Dao, Zang Ba, and Tai Shici, who were also aware of this, also looked at each other.

Seeing that Zhang Huang and the others had different expressions, Xun You said with a smile, "Wen Ruo is a person who is anxious for justice and righteousness, he helps you and others, and he never thought that he would be rewarded in the future." Here, this qiē for him, and for the following, it is just a gesture, and you don't need to take it to heart. ”

[Children of the Xun family...... Sure enough, it's a gentleman, one by one. ]

Listening to Xun You's unpretentious words, Zhang Huang and the others had a stronger impression of the Xun family. You must know that as a family of scholars with a transcendent status, he treats ordinary people like Zhang Huang so approachably, if it were not for his excellent family education and good character, he would never have been able to do this. They had to reaffirm that the Xun family and the rampant and domineering scholars that Zhang Huang and others had seen were not comparable.

While talking and laughing, the cook in Xun You's house prepared wine and food to catch the wind for Zhang Huang and others, while he himself chatted with Zhang Huang and others.

"Actually, as early as a few days ago, Wen Ruo sent someone to send a letter over, in which he mentioned that he asked me to take care of you and others...... Therefore, after calculating the date, I went to the south gate to pick you up, and I didn't want a few little brothers to enter through the east city gate, which is really ......."

"There's Lord Laoxun." As soon as he heard that Xun Yu had been waiting for them at the south gate of Luoyang for several days, Zhang Huang couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Eh, a few little brothers are friends of my Xun family, that is, friends below...... Call directly in the following table words can be reached. Xun You smiled and waved his hand, and then said with a contemplative expression, "As for waiting for you in Xiabai for a few days, it's none of your business...... Brother Feng Xiao is right, although he is good at scheming, he is still a line behind. …… There are always accidents in the world, and there is no end to them. ”

Li Tong and the others couldn't help but feel a little funny when they heard this, and said in their hearts, Do you still plan to include all the accidents? Only Zhang Huang trusted Xun You's words, because he knew very well what kind of talent Xun You was, that was the 'mastermind' of Cao Cao, the overlord of the Central Plains in history, and it was not an exaggeration to call him the most relied on think tank after Guo Jia's death. What's more important is that Xun You is a master of military strategy in the true sense, and he is proficient in the use of soldiers and tricks in the royal way. Strictly speaking, he is more in line with the position of military advisor than Xun Yu, who is actually biased towards internal affairs, and I am afraid that only a few people can compare with him. (Historically.) Xun Yu's evaluation and achievements are higher than Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, and his uncle Xun Yu is one outside the main and one inside, and he is definitely Cao Cao's right-hand man in terms of wisdom and strategy. ）

Chatting and chatting, Xun You talked with Zhang Huang and others about the unique battle of military strategy in Yingchuan Academy, and when he mentioned this matter, he saw Xun You with a look of regret and regret on his face, and he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Wen Ruo said in the letter that you have cooperated with Wen Ruo and Brother Fengxiao and the students of Xiangyang to test the military strategy. It's a shame that I didn't have the opportunity to participate. ”

Li Tong and Zang Ba's expressions suddenly became embarrassed, after all, in the end, the two of them took off their coats and ran around the hall.

"If Brother Gongda replaces Xun Wenruo at that time, I'm afraid that Xiangyang Academy will return to the wolf." Zhang Huang's words didn't mean to praise Xun You, this was just the original words of Xun Yu and Guo Jia and others. Of course, Zhang Huang himself thinks so. You must know that Guo Jia and Xun You, this is a combination that even Fa Zheng and Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun can't beat. (In the official history, Fazheng's soldiers are slightly stronger than Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang is similar to Xun Yu, both of whom are geniuses who are biased towards internal affairs, and the use of soldiers is just like that.) A true master of strategy. It is Xun You, Zhou Yu, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, Zhong Xuan, Lu Xun and so on. Even if it is Jia Xu, he can only be regarded as good at tricks, but he is not a real military strategy. ）

Seeing that Xun You was quite interested in the battle of military strategy, Zhang Huang asked Xu Fuyuan to describe it in detail. After all, among the black feather crows, only Xu Fu has the ability to never forget.

As soon as Xu Fu said that, Xun You was even more interested in the battle of military strategy that was set by Xi Zhicai, and couldn't help but sigh that he had missed such an interesting thing.

After some conversation, the two sides have long since eliminated the estrangement caused by unfamiliarity. There is a faint illusion that I have known each other for a long time.

In a short time, the meal was served by the cook of the house, which was sumptuous but not extravagant. It was a portion that a few people here could eat all, which made She Zhi also full of affection for Xun You.

After he was full of wine and food, Xun Yu said to Zhang Huang and the others, "Wen Ruo asked me to take care of you, if you don't dislike it, you can live in my house." …… I've asked the old man to arrange a guest room for you, but the courtyard is small, with only two rooms, so you don't have any complaints. ”

For Xun Yu and Xun You's kindness to the two uncles and nephews, the black feather crows were extremely moved, although they actually have a place to settle down now, but Zhang Huang still feels inappropriate to refuse the kindness of others like this. But then again, even if it is not good to refuse Xun You, Zhang Huang and the others are unwilling to live in the guest room prepared by Xun You. It's not that he has any opinions about Xun You, it's just that those armillary spheres suspended in the sky really made Zhang Huang and the others feel palpitations.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huang hugged his fists and thanked, "Thank you Brother Gongda for your kindness, but ...... In the inferior people vulgar martial arts, afraid of sleeping in the upper room but difficult to sleep, I don't know if there is a wine cellar in the Gongda brother's mansion? I'll just sleep in the cellar. ”

"......" Xun You was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked at Zhang Huang intently, and sighed slightly for a long time, "It seems that you have roughly understood the current situation in Luoyang, but you don't have to work on it for the next time." With that, he stood up and said to Zhang Huang and the others, "Everyone, come down." ”

Zhang Huang and the others followed Xun You out of the hall and came to Xun You's outer room, only to see him pull the mechanism of the bookcase, and when the bookcase was removed, the place where it should have been the wall was a downward staircase.

[Huh?] ]

The black feather crows couldn't help but be surprised and looked at Xun Yu in surprise.

As if noticing the consternation in the eyes of the black crows, Xun You said lightly, "It is not surprising that most of the mansions in the inner city have secret rooms. …… Please! ”

"Please!" Zhang Huang arched his hand, and immediately secretly said that he was really confused. Thinking that even the people who first arrived in Luoyang knew the existence of the armillary sphere, and Xun Youjiu had been an official in Luoyang for a long time, how could he not know? There must be a way to hide people's eyes.

As Zhang Huang guessed, after they followed Xun You down the stairs, they found that there was actually a secret room under the ground of Xun You's bedroom, similar to Ma Yuanyi's mansion, and there were many tables, chairs and furniture in the secret room on Xun You's house, and there were even several pairs of wine cups on the table, and there were still residual wine in the wine cups.

"Ahem." Seeing Zhang Huang staring at the wine cups with strange eyes, Xun You coughed and put them away quietly.

This kind of desire to cover up made Zhang Huang and Xu Fu guess a little: they were by no means the first guests in this secret room.

[Who is it to entertain?] ]

Zhang Huang was honestly very curious about the guests who were invited to this secret room by Xun You, but unfortunately he was not good at asking. After all, it was Xun You's privacy.

However, he can roughly guess one or two, after all, Xun You is one of the clear streams in history, and discussed with Zheng Tai, He Hao, Shizhong Chongji, Yue Cai Captain Wu Fu and others to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but he was defeated and imprisoned. Fortunately, during this period, Lu Bu and Wang Yunhe murdered Dong Zhuo to death, otherwise, I am afraid that Xun You, a prodigy of military strategy, would have died in prison, and it would be difficult to leave his name in history.

And although Dong Zhuo has not yet entered Beijing to control the government, even He Jin has not died. However, it is impossible for an upright Qingliu party member like Xun You not to have other views on the current Luoyang, depending on whether it is aimed at relatives or eunuchs.

So, Zhang Huang pretended not to see anything very interestingly, and just looked around at the secret room.

However, he didn't know it, just like Li Tong, he saw that the furniture in the secret room was complete, and asked in surprise. "Could it be that Brother Gongda also slept in the secret room because he was afraid of the armillary sphere?"

[Also?] ]

Xun You was a little surprised, but he didn't care, and sighed when he heard the words and said, "Have you already seen the armillary sphere?" ”

Zhang Huang naturally didn't want to reveal that there was a damaged object in the secret room on Ma Yuanyi's mansion. Just told them what they saw and heard in the wine shop, that is, the two scribes who were finally killed for their words, and the dozen or so soldiers of the Righteous Army Huchang Army.

After listening to Zhang Huang's narration, Xun Yu let out a long sigh. Shaking his head and sighing, "This, the appearance of the decline of the country!" …… He was condemned for his words and died for righteousness. How ridiculous! How sad! ”

"Is there no one in charge of the DPRK and China?" Xu Fu asked puzzled.

Xun You thought for a moment, considered the words and said, "Son of Heaven...... I haven't thought about the government for a long time, my relative Dong has controlled the dynasty, and he has fought to the death with the general He Jin, but the poor court's loyalty and conscience want to reach the heavens, but they were intercepted by the eunuchs...... Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other traitorous cults instigated the Dong clan to use the armillary sphere and other side doors to monitor Luoyang, and those who talked about the government in vain were all executed. Finally, the people in the city did not dare to show the slightest complaint, but Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others brazenly said to the Son of Heaven that the world is peaceful! ”

"Could it be that the Son of Heaven really doesn't know that the world is in chaos?" Xu Fu asked incredulously.

A glimmer of light flashed in Xun You's eyes, and he said with a bit of sorrow, "There are Zhang Rang and others who hinder the virtuous and virtuous words of the court, how can Your Majesty know?" ”

[Seems to be aimed at eunuchs......]

Zhang Huang suddenly realized.

After complaining a few words, Xun You also realized that as a courtier, it seemed a little inappropriate to criticize the government so much, so he changed the topic.

"What are Brother Zhang's plans next?" Xun You followed the names of Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others in the letter to Zhang Huang.

Zhang Huang pondered and replied, "What's next...... Has Brother Gongda heard of Wang Yue? ”

"Wang Yue? Luoyang swordsman Wang Yue? Xun You touched the tuft of beard on his chin, and thought deeply, "This person is a well-known swordsman in Luoyang for a long time, but I heard that the utilitarian heart is too strong, and he has climbed many high-ranking officials and nobles for the sake of seeking officials. There are many people in Luoyang who are not ashamed of their people. …… What do you mention this person for? ”

Zhang Huang was stunned, and then said, "I heard that this person is good at swordsmanship, and we originally planned to learn swordsmanship under him." ”

"Oh." Xun You nodded suddenly and said, "Although this person's character is unbearable, his swordsmanship is indeed excellent, and there are few opponents in Luoyang, but it may be difficult to accept you and teach you swordsmanship." ”

"Why?" Zhang Huang asked puzzled.

Xun You explained, "Wang Yue attaches great importance to fame and fortune, if you are a famous family, he will naturally accept you, but if you are a commoner, I am afraid that he will not want to take care of you and wait." ”

Xu Fu was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise, "Don't you accept it if you have a bundle?" ”

"Five hundred gold for the scholars, five hundred gold for the common people, this is the capital that Wang Yue boasted of. …… Are you sure you want to go? Hearing this, Xun You glanced at Zhang Huang and the others, not that he looked down on Zhang Huang and the others who couldn't afford to pay five hundred gold, but he sincerely felt that it was not worth it.

No, seeing that the black feather crows stopped talking one by one, Xun You thought for a while and said, "If you want to practice martial arts, you will also get acquainted with several captains and generals with high martial arts." Captain Wu Fu and Wu Yu are rare brave and heroic......"

[The guy who stabbed Dong Zhuo with a knife and was killed by Dong Zhuo?] Excuse me. ]

Zhang Huang pursed his lips disapplauded. He didn't know that Captain Wu Fu was actually a powerful hero.

(Wu Fuxing assassinated Dong Zhuo, not was killed by Dong Zhuo.) In the romance, he was subdued by Lu Bu, and in the official history, he was killed by Dong Zhuo's 'urgent call' guards, which is almost the meaning of the cry of 'Wang Negative Sword' when Jing Ke assassinated Qin. In general, the situation was the same as that of Ying Zheng at that time, Dong Zhuo was stunned and at a loss. ）

Seeing that Zhang Huang politely refused, Xun You didn't say anything more, and after telling him a few words if there was anything he needed, he left the secret room.

After dinner, the black feather crows were about to rest, but they saw She Zhi sitting opposite Zhang Huang with a solemn expression.

"What does Brother Zhang think about the situation of today's rioters?"

[Tyrant?] ]

Including Zhang Huang, the Black Feather Crows looked at each other, because they heard some cryptic information from She Zhi's words. (To be continued......)
