Chapter 165: Visiting the Xun Family

The Xiliang cavalry entered Nanyang, causing a lot of waves.

Not long after the alliance of the princes to discuss Dong Jiezhuo, this once again set off the beacon smoke.

All the princes couldn't figure out what Dong Zhuo was doing. In particular, the fall of Wancheng caused a shock. After all, even if there was friction between the princes, it was limited to small-scale military operations in the border areas.

The Xiliang army entered the hinterland of Nanyang to attack the city and plunder the land, which was already a declaration of war.

Now that even Wancheng has been attacked, if it is just a small friction, then the specification of this friction is too high.

When the news reached Qian County, Yuan Shu was certainly angry.

When Dong Zhuo received the news, he was also furious, and he wanted to send Li Li to recall Luoyang to ask for the guilt.

The trouble of the Xiliang military group is already big enough, and it is too late to reconcile with the princes now, so as not to have a second crusade against the princes, but Li Li sent people to kill in the hinterland of Nanyang, do you think that you are not in enough trouble?

Fortunately, Niu Fu, Li Dao, Li Ru and others tried their best to dissuade Li Li.

However, Dong Zhuo still sent an envoy to Wuguan, angrily reprimanded Li Li, and let Li Li give an explanation.

Li Li can be said to be extremely wronged, he has not looted Nanyang at all recently, and the cavalry that killed into the hinterland of Nanyang is not the Xiliang cavalry under his command at all, and he doesn't know which god killed him to blame.

After a painstaking explanation, he sent the messenger from Dong Zhuo away.

Dong Zhuo listened to Li Li's explanation, and he was also a little confused.

Li Li would definitely not deceive such a big thing.

That is to say. The cavalry that entered Nanyang was not the Xiliang cavalry at all.

Dong Zhuo sent an envoy to Yuzhou to explain to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was sure, and he was scolded again.

On the official road from Kunyang to Xiangcheng, two fast horses were running at a constant speed.

Xu Chu straddled the horse like a bear and asked: "Lord, there are more than twenty miles to Xiangcheng, there are more homeless people in Yingchuan than in Nanyang, do you want to raise some more grain and grass in Xiangcheng." Sheltering some homeless? ”

Luo Zheng said: "Don't worry, let's go to Yangzhai first!" ”

Xu Chu scratched his head and asked puzzledly, "What is the lord doing in Yangzhai?" ”

A treacherous smile appeared at the corner of Luo Zheng's mouth. said: "I want to go to Yangzhai to find a few people, and go to Yingyin by the way, and pick up a few clansmen for Wen Ruo." If the grass startles the snake, Yingchuan will close the city gates. How to get into town! ”

Xu Chu suddenly realized. said: "I heard that there are many talented people in Yingchuan, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Luo Zheng said: "Of course it's true, if you talk about the peak of talents, there is no one on the right side of Yingchuan in any county in the world." Wen Ruo once recommended a few talents to General Ben and invited them by letter, but unfortunately General Ben's reputation is too stinky, and no one is willing to serve his life, hehe! ”

Xu Chu said angrily: "I don't know what to do." This time, they will all be tied back to Liangzhou, and then coerced! ”

Luo Zheng laughed and said yes. I feel that Xu Chu is sometimes quite likable.

People with simple minds are always reassuring.

Although Xu Chu doesn't like to use his brain, he also doesn't have those complicated thoughts and fancy intestines.

As long as it is Luo Zheng's order, he will be uncompromising, and never ask the reason and right or wrong.

It's like kidnapping someone, and this guy doesn't think there's anything wrong.

If you discuss which of the generals under the account is the most liked by Luo Zheng, it is naturally not Xu Chu who is inexplicable.

People like Xu Chu, because their minds are relatively simple, and they are more directly influenced by the Confucianism of loyalty, righteousness and filial piety, will not say the words like a good bird choosing a tree to perch, most of the time, they will only serve a lord for the rest of their lives.

And often this kind of person is also the easiest to gain the trust of the sovereign.

Although he is not good at commanding troops, he is definitely the closest person to every lord.

In ancient times, the north sat in the north and faced the south, the north was yang, and the south was yin.

Yingyin is located in the east of Yingchuan, south of the Yingshui tributary.

At noon, Yingyin Street was sparsely populated and depressed.

Yingchuan was originally a big Shao, densely populated, rich in money and food, and the people have been living a good life.

However, after Yuan Shu entered Yuzhou, he wantonly conscripted soldiers and paid grain, and the people soon suffered unspeakably, although Yingchuan was not poisoned by the love of war, but the streets and markets of the counties were gradually depressed, and there were fewer and fewer vendors.

The Xiliang cavalry entered Nanyang, and although the news reached Yingchuan, it did not cause panic.

Except for Kunyang, which was close to Nanyang, which slightly strengthened its vigilance, the gentry of the scholars in the rest of the counties did not take it to heart.

Luo Zheng blended into Yingyin very smoothly and took Xu Chu to appreciate the folk customs on the street.

Although it is not the county of Yangzhai, literati wearing square scarves on the streets of Yingyin can also be seen everywhere.

The Xun family, the world-famous scholarly family, is in this small city.

Luo Zheng didn't take much effort, he inquired about the Xun family, took Xu Chu to a house in the east of the city, counted and came to a slightly dilapidated house in the alley, stopped at the door and watched for a long time, shook his head, and knocked on the door.

No matter how big a family is, there are rich and poor.

Even the emperor's descendants have poor people who want to eat.

Liu Bei is a living example, as a royal prince, he also has to make shoes and sell shoes in order to live.

Just look at the patches on the doors of this house, and you know that life is not good.

At least in terms of affluence, it is slightly better than ordinary people's families, far less than those family valves.

Then again, although the Xun family is a well-known scholarly family in the world, it is different from those family valves with thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of slaves and private soldiers, and compared with those wealthy families, the Xun family can be said to be very shabby.

This means, of course, physically.

In terms of fame, the Xun family is far from being comparable to those local tyrants and landlords.

Squeak!

The dilapidated wooden door was opened, and it was opened by a woman of about thirty.

The woman was dressed very plainly, and her clothes were even troublesome, but they revealed a kind of knowledgeable and courteous manners of a talented lady.

"Are you ......?"

The woman looked at Luo Zheng and Xu Chu with a puzzled face.

Luo Zheng said: "In Xia Chenping, dare to ask Mrs. Xun You if he is at home?" ”

The woman said: "The husband went to Yangzhai and has not come back yet, I don't know what the two of you are looking for the husband, can you let the concubine tell me?" ”

Luo Zheng frowned, this is too damn unfortunate, it was not easy to come to Yingchuan, Xun You actually ran out to visit friends and was not at home, missed this time, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to come to Yingchuan!

"Since Mr. Xun You is not at home, forget it!"

Luo Zheng shook his head, took out a letter and, took the package handed over by Xu Chu, and handed it to the woman: "I came from Liangzhou in the next place, and I was entrusted by Mr. Xun Yu to send a letter to Mr. Xun Yu, please accept it." ”

"Uncle Yu?"

The woman was stunned, a little hesitant, not daring whether to tie the knot or not.

After Xun Yu arrived in Liangzhou, he exchanged letters with his family.

Although Xun You is the nephew of the Jingyu clan, the two grew up together since childhood, and the relationship is very thick, when he was in Liangzhou, he had entrusted Xun You with a few letters, and the woman knew it, but the problem was that the person named Chen Ping had never heard of it.

After hesitating, he took the letter and the package.

The package was a little heavy, and I didn't know what it contained.

It is not easy for a woman to open it, and it is not easy for a man to invite a strange man into his house when he is not at home.

Luo Zheng didn't mean to go in and sit, said goodbye to the woman, and left with Xu Chu.

Xun Yu is a great talent, and Xun Yu has also recommended Luo Zheng.

Passing by Yingyin this time, Luo Zheng came for Xun You, and he had already made a plan, if Xun You didn't work, he would be tied up directly to Liangzhou, and then he would take his heart, but he didn't expect that Xun You went to Yangzhai and was not at home.

Although I still have to go to Yangzhai, whether I can meet Xun Yu is still two words.

This era is not as developed as communication in later generations.

Even if you're in the same city, it's not so easy to find someone.

Luo Zheng went to visit Xun Yue, Xun Yan, Xun Chen and several other Xun Yu's peers, these people Luo Zheng only faintly heard the name of Xun Chen, and I forgot who he had served for, and none of the remaining Xun Yue and Xun Yan had heard of it.

When Xun Yu talked about his clansmen, he admired these people very much, and they all had extraordinary talents.

Luo Zheng was on his mind, others didn't know, but he knew that Xun Yu didn't recommend talents, if he recommended them, he must be great talents, and when he served under Cao Apu, he recommended many talents in the world to Cao Agui, such as Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, etc.

The Xun family is worthy of being a well-known scholarly family in the world, extremely polite, and does not have the domineering grandeur of those powerful families.

Luo Zheng claimed to be a friend of Xun Yu in Liangzhou, and was very courteous to the Xun family.

However, it is a pity that Xun Chen is not at home, it is said that he defected to Yuan Shao and made contributions under Yuan Shao.

Xun Yue and Xun Yan were at home, but unfortunately they had no intention of working for Luo Zheng at all.

Even if Xun Yu's letter was strongly invited, it was useless.

Luo Zheng thought about it, and felt that his reputation was too stinky, even if these Xun family members were very polite to him, it was the most basic etiquette, and he didn't know his identity, and he didn't want to serve a warlord who dared to slaughter the warrior clan.

If you can't ask for help, then there will only be a strong captive.

Luo Zheng is not a polite person, and he kidnapped Xun Yue and Xun Yan that night.

When I left Yingyin the next day, the city was as calm as ever, and it didn't cause any uproar.

However, it is a good idea to rob talents.

Luo Zheng's heart suddenly moved, and this thought came to him.

Xiliang has been in war for many years, and the power of the Shi clan has been hit by the destruction of the mière.

Luo Zheng has two or three big cats and small cats, there is really no one available, and now there are only two counties under his rule, but there are still three counties that do not even have county orders, if the territory is expanded in the future, there will be no one to govern.

In addition to the population, the lack of talent is also a major flaw in Liangzhou.

Luo Zheng has always had a headache about this, and as soon as the idea of robbing talents came out, it was out of control.

Although the means are a little less glorious, they can't be taken care of.

As for grabbing Liangzhou, even if those scholars are unwilling to work for him, they can slowly find a way. (To be continued......)
