Although Xu Ji is extremely curious about Xun Yu's psychology now, he still has no way of knowing what kind of attitude this best friend has towards him now. The paper text of his best friend in front of him, and Xun Yu's words also made Xu Ji feel extremely admired, this close friend did not mention himself in the text, but recalled the holy lords, including the three emperors and five emperors, and praised the prosperous era they created, but his words all implemented the identity of these monarchs are gentlemen.

Then he began to ridicule and ridicule Yuan Shu, comparing Yuan Shu's background with his absurd behavior and lack of learning and unlearning, and even satirizing his behavior after the chaos in the world, after which Xun Yu proposed a standard for measuring a gentleman.

Xun Yu even wrote in this inscription: "Yuan Highway is named Hanchen, but he is actually a Han thief, the short princes grain and grass are in the sour jujube, Sun Jian's army is in Nanyang, the people are in Runan, the clan is ravaged in Jingyang, the clever robbery, the deception and theft of the jade seal, and the words of 'this thing is returned to the ancestral dragon', and he is not ashamed to talk about the mandate of heaven, the incompetence of the Wenchen is lost in the fire, the military generals are lost in the gold, the people are displaced and lost in the soil, the merchants are lost in the water, the forced handicraft is lost in the wood, the five virtues are lost, and An dares to be called a gentleman? ”

Seeing this, Xu Ji couldn't help but laugh, and shook his head again and again, although his best friend usually speaks little, now when he scolds people, his words are sharp and bad. Compared to what Kong Rong wrote on the other side, I don't know how much stronger Lu Dao is. That Kong Rong's writing is gorgeous, and it is also a side reference, but the meaning of the words is too simple, unlike Xun Yu's attacking words that are very concentrated and the theme is clear.

What made Xu Ji feel most admired was that Xun Yu brought Liu Xie everywhere in his essay, but every time he wrote about this young emperor, he praised and depreciated it, and it seemed that Liu Xie was the true son of heaven. But the more I look closely, the more I feel that this is not the case.

For example, Xun Yu wrote: "Today, the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and he bears the burden of humiliation. You have to get rid of the national thieves and return to Beijing in the near future. Zhongxing Han room, counting days is just around the corner! Yuan Shu's clown, vulnerable, can lead the water of the manure tank of your family to bathe and change clothes, sit and wait to die, in order to thank the world. ”

On the surface, Xun Yu was respectful and confident to Liu Xie in the text, but in fact, the words were full of irony: endure humiliation? It seems that it was forced to do so; got rid of the national thief, that is Wang Yun's credit. What do you have to do with the young Liu Xie?; Won't you return to Beijing soon? I'm afraid it's far away; Zhongxing Han room, counting days? Fang is in a big mess today, there seems to be little difference between Liu Xie's Wenchen generals and those under Yuan Shu, where does Liu Xie have the ability to control them? Zhongxing Han is only afraid that "this hatred lasts forever".

It can be seen from this that Xun Yu seems to want to tell Xu Ji his loyalty and support to him through this piece of paper, but Xu Ji is not so sure, Xun Yu's city government is definitely not simple, his behavior makes Xu Ji a little suspicious, this is either Xun Yu really changed his attitude and began to fully support himself. Either that or the best friend has decided to leave him, which may be the last thing this best friend has done for himself.

The more Xu Ji thought about it, the more he felt that the latter was much more likely than the former, although there were probably only a handful of people in the world who were truly loyal to the Han family, but for Xun Yu, these people were probably the ones he wanted to assist, right? Despite the worries. Xu Ji still couldn't do anything, the only thing he could do was wait and see. As for killing Xun Yu, of course Xu Ji also thought about it. But one of them, Xun Yu is his best friend, and there are really many things he has done for him over the years. He really couldn't do it, the second is that Xun Yu's paper not only made him Xu Ji become a loyal minister of the Han family, but also found a "talisman" for Xun Yu himself. Xu Ji had to admire Xun Yu's cleverness.

And Xun Yu also made a lot of trouble for Xu Ji in the text, once Xun Yu really decided to serve others, this paper text may become the sharpest weapon in his hand, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the gentleman mentioned in Xun Yu's text is obviously neither Liu Xie nor Yuan Shu, so who else in the world is worthy of being called a gentleman? As far as Xu Ji is concerned, from his point of view, the gentleman in this article is simply the gentleman's standard formulated according to his standards, that is, the gentleman mentioned in Xun Yu's text is no one else, it is him Xu Ji!

However, at the moment, Xu Ji's worries are not an imminent threat for the time being, and even if he becomes a real Xu Ji, he does not think that it is a mortal threat to himself, it is just a little tricky.

At this time, Xu Ji was most interested in Yuan Shu's expression when he saw this paper text, which must be very interesting.

In fact, of course, it was not what Xu Ji expected, the world reacted fiercely after seeing this paper paper, and Yanzhou and Chang'an, as academic centers, successively criticized and satirized Yuan Shu, so the literati in the world naturally followed suit to show their "style of celebrities". For a while, the saliva continued, and the attacks were fierce, and of course there was a group of royal literati under Yuan Shu's command who were responsible for mentioning Yuan Shu to fight a war of words, but of course they would not have expected that they would encounter such a fierce verbal attack, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to fight back for a long time.

Of course, Yuan Shu himself did not expect that his claim to the emperor would bring such consequences, not to mention the hostile Yanzhou and Chang'an, it was the attack of a group of Han clan relatives that caught Yuan Shu quite off guard, Liu Yu, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Liu Xuan and other genuine Han clan relatives did not mention, Liu Bei, the self-proclaimed Han clan relative, was also very active, Yuan Shu could also imagine that this is still Xu Ji's whereabouts unknown, if Xu Ji is in Yanzhou, then this war of words must be more intense than now.

And now, although these so-called Han clan relatives are just verbal "crusades", for Yuan Shu, this is enough for him to get angry.

Especially Liu Biao, as the assassin of Jingzhou, saw this situation, and in order to take the opportunity to improve his prestige, he immediately ordered Zhang Yun to lead an army of 70,000 from Hongnong County to the east, approaching Henan County, and making a gesture of attacking Yuan Shu. Not to be outdone, Chang'an assigned Zhang Ji to lead 20,000 people to Henan County.

And the worst person in these battles is Tao Qian, where did Tao Qian expect that the life-saving straw he held on to would actually be the cause of the fire? I connected Yuan Shu just to scare off the Yanzhou army, but now it's good, Yuan Shu is actually the emperor! This simply pushed Tao Qian to the forefront.

Tao Qian did not forget that the reason why Yanzhou waved his army to Xuzhou was caused by the rebellion of Que Xuan in Xiapi City and proclaimed himself emperor. Up to now, one of the fundamental reasons why Yanzhou's army has not withdrawn its troops in Xuzhou is that Guo Jia must Tao Qian hand over the mastermind behind the support of Que Xuan. Guo Jia claims that if no one is behind the scenes. Que Xuan, a small local powerful landlord, absolutely did not dare to do such a thing.

Indeed, according to common sense, Guo Jia's words are indeed not wrong, but the question is who in Xuzhou dares to support Que Xuan's rebellion like this? Mi's? That's absolutely impossible, even Tao Qian himself knows that the relationship between the Mi clan and Yanzhou is very close, it can be said that a large part of Xuzhou's commodity exports are achieved through the connection between the Mi clan and Yanzhou, how can the Mi clan be an enemy of Yanzhou under such a close relationship? The other two Chen family and the Zhao family in Xuzhou who have the ability to provide presiding have always been based on the principle of self-preservation, and it is impossible to support Que Xuan, so the only thing left is the Cao family, but this is also impossible. The current head of the Cao family is Cao Bao, and his daughter is already married to Lu Bu, what is Lu Bu's identity? That is Wang Yun's confidant, how could Cao Bao, as his father-in-law, let his son-in-law fall into such an embarrassing situation? And once Cao Bao supports Que Xuan, then Lu Bu's side will inevitably have a conflict with Wang Yun, and in that case, Xuzhou will immediately lose the most powerful foreign aid.

It can also be seen from this that Guo Jia's spearhead is directly aimed at Tao Qian, which is nothing more than a declaration from the world that Tao Qian is actually the mastermind behind Que Xuan's rebellion.

Of course, Tao Qian was speechless, and he lost a handful of his hair because of this, but there was still no solution. So Tao Qian simply said that he couldn't get sick, and it was clear that he wanted to avoid the limelight, as for the Yanzhou army in Xuzhou? He can't control it now.

Now, Tao Qian also knows that the people he can rely on are Wang Yun and Lu Bu in Chang'an. There is also Yuan Shu in Yuzhou. Who knew that Yuan Shu, who he had relied on, actually made such a play. This is really the so-called "wave after wave", Tao Qian knows very well that Xuzhou will soon become the focus of the world again, because Yuan Shu is the emperor. And he is an ally of Yuan Shu, which is equivalent to saying that Tao Qian supports Yuan Shu to become emperor. Since Yuan Shu is a traitor, of course Tao Qian is no better.

Once by chance. Everyone can still choose to believe, but twice is inevitable.

Although Tao Qian, an old guy, has a good reputation in Xuzhou, and he can be regarded as a very capable courtier among the princes of the Han Dynasty, Tao Qian's things are really of a standard, and he is a little bit ignorant of life and death. If the little Que Xuan's rebellion against the emperor is just a big joke, then Yuan Shu's matter is not so simple.

What is Yuan Shu's identity? Everyone in the world knows that Yuan Shu is the gate valve of the fourth and third princes, and the quasi-head of the Yuan family, who has many old officials, is almost on par with Yuan Shao, who deliberately accumulated prestige when he was young. And if Yuan Shu really rebelled and became the emperor, then the world would inevitably oscillate.

And now there are actually not a few people in the world who want to be the emperor, but no one dares to blatantly say that he is the talent of the emperor and the expectation of the people. Only people like Yuan Shu will risk the disapproval of the world, and even announce that the jade seal of the country is in his hands, the so-called "Pifu is not guilty, and he is guilty", no one will not be blushing.

In particular, Xun Yu's text mentions the origin of Yuan Shu's jade seal: this jade seal was deceived by Yuan Shu from Sun Ce, and Sun Jian also got it in the abandoned palace in Luoyang.

In this way, the alliance between Tao Qian and Yuan Shu turned into a situation where Tao Qian became a thief.

Things have come to this point, and there is no one to help Tao Qian, because whoever helps Tao Qian will become Yuan Shu's accomplice. Because of this, Wang Yun, who was far away in Chang'an, was very dissatisfied with Tao Qian, which made it difficult for Lu Bu to be a man in front of Wang Yun.

No matter how old and stupid Tao Qian was, he understood what he should do, so Tao Qian immediately issued a statement to the world: saying that his stupid and decrepit person could not see Yuan Shu's loyalty, treachery, good and evil, so that one misstep turned into a thousand hatreds, and announced that he would immediately dissolve the alliance with Yuan Shu, and joined the ranks of condemning Yuan Shu.

But of course Guo Jia is not such a good character, he is not ready to let Tao Qian go at all. He poked out the fact that Cao Bao and Tao Qian married Cao Ling to Chang'an, and especially emphasized that Cao Ling, a delicate beauty, was originally not Lu Bu's wife. is Dong Zhuo's bride, Cao Saturation Tao Qian originally wanted to marry Cao Ling to Dong Zhuo.

Guo Jia's news came out. Tao Qian's reputation is completely stinky: he uses beauty tricks to charm Dong Zhuo for his own benefit, Que Xuan's rebellion in Xiapicheng is inextricably linked with Tao Qian, Yuan Shu is Tao Qian's ally, and each of the three things is related to the national thief, in this case, no one in the world no longer believes that Tao Qian is loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Guo Jia's Yanzhou soldiers became a matter of course in Xuzhou. At the same time, Xuzhou's local strength also set off a wave of opposition to Tao Qian, and the Mi family clearly stood on the opposite side of Tao Qian. The Chen family and the Zhao family have adopted a tacit attitude, and the Cao family is now not even daring to speak out, for fear that others will count the matter on the head of the Cao family, you must know that the Chen family and the Zhao family want the Cao family to be finished, so the Cao family now also adopts an extremely cold attitude towards Tao Qian. I don't want to have anything to do with Tao Qian.

Tao Qian, who was trapped at home and abroad, was worried, so as he claimed to the outside world, he was really sick in bed and collapsed. Seeing that time is running out, I am still breathing.

At the same time, Yuan Shu, who has always been extremely arrogant and almost never angry on weekdays, was scolded by the people of the world and became angry, and was made angry by Tao Qianlai's hand. actually played a bachelor's temper at this time, putting on a posture of "go your own way, let others say go". even more hyped up his claim to be emperor.

At the same time, Zhang Yan of Yanzhou followed Xu Ji's orders. At this time, they suddenly began to attack the counties of Yanzhou.

Liang Xi, the assassin of Yanzhou, received Xu Ji's order, so he naturally cooperated with Zhang Yan's actions very tacitly. For a time, all counties in Yanzhou were "attacked" by Zhang Yan again and again, and officials from various counties fled in despair. Liang Xi was even more simply, he directly played the disappearance himself.

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and hurriedly sent men and horses to Yanzhou, the first road general Zhang Xun in the center, the second road general Qiao Rui on the left, the third road general Chen Ji on the right, the fourth road deputy general Lei Bo on the left, the fifth road deputy general Chen Lan on the right, the sixth road Li Feng on the left, and the seventh road Liang Gang on the right. The generals of the subordinates will go from the beginning of the day. Take Ji Ling as the salvation envoy of the seven roads. Yuan Shu led 30,000 troops, and Le was the envoy to urge the advance, and he responded to the soldiers of the seven roads and went straight to Yanzhou.

The most interesting thing is that before Yuan Shu captured Yanzhou, he appointed Jin Shang as the assassin of Yanzhou and supervised the transportation of seven roads of money and grain. Jin Shang was originally dissatisfied with Yuan Shu, and he saw that Yuan Shu was self-inflicted and could not live, so how could he agree, but Yuan Shu was furious and directly ordered Jin Shang to be arrested and killed.

Yu Fuluo, who was eyeing Xihe County, saw that Zhang Yan really rebelled, and Yuan Shu had already sent seven troops to attack Yanzhou, so he was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent troops to Shangdang and began to attack Zhang Yang. The party flamboyant Yu Fuluo suddenly attacked, and hurriedly sent the general Chang Lin to fight in Fuluo in Guyuan. However, the strange thing for Zhang Yang was that Gao Shun's army did not move at this time, and did not further attack Yang Chou's Zhan County, let alone march to coerce the party.

Xu Ji, who had been watching the changes, smiled at this time, knowing that the time had come for him to take action.

The valley is far away, the riverbank, and the summer morning is not a little fresh, especially in the neighing of people and horses, which shows a piece of restlessness.

Chang Lin rode a war horse, anxiously staring at the other side of the river, for a few days, the opposite side of Yu Fuluo's military camp was silent, this is absolutely abnormal, although the Huns are a people on horseback, now across a big river, Yu Fuluo is in the urgent cut extremely difficult to cross, but it really doesn't make sense to be so quiet in front of you.

Yan Rou, the strategist beside Chang Lin, glanced at his boss and sighed in his heart, this Chang Lin was too tender. However, he didn't dare to speak, because he was just an ornament in the Changlin army. This is not to say that Chang Lin has taken a discriminatory attitude towards himself, but because Yan Rou has offended Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang's army discipline was corrupt, Yan Rou was deeply dissatisfied with this, and made many suggestions to Zhang Yang, hoping that Zhang Yang would strictly enforce military discipline, but he was subjected to many difficulties by Zhang Yang's subordinates, so he would only be in a small position in Chang Lin's army after being hit, Chang Lin respected him very much, and others couldn't talk about it.

Chang Lin's clan brother Chang Yu immediately stepped forward and said to Chang Lin: "Big brother, don't worry, we are defending here solidly, and we will be foolproof." ”

Chang Lin said anxiously: "It doesn't make sense, Yu Fuluo is savage by nature, and attacking his own enemies has always been to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible, and now it is really not normal to be so quiet." ”

Chang Yan shook his head and said: "Big brother is too worried, in the past few days, we have been scouting widely, from the north to Nixian, and to the south to Anze, there is no sign of the enemy crossing the river from the upstream or downstream. As long as we hold out until General Wang Kuang comes here, the siege of Shangdang can be resolved. ”

Chang Lin Su Ri'an nodded, but his brows were still tightly locked, obviously still extremely uneasy in his heart.

Yan Rou really couldn't help it, so she stepped forward and said to Chang Lin in a deep voice: "General, could it be that the other party is using a strategy to stabilize the army?" ”

Chang Lin and Chang Yan turned their heads, and the latter said dissatisfiedly: "Yan Rou, where is there a place for you to talk here?" Still not quitting? ”

Chang Lin waved his hand and said to Yan Rou: "Mr. Yan Rou, please speak up, I know that Mr. Yan Rou has lived in the Southern Xiongnu for a long time and knows the Huns very well. ”

Yan Rou's spirit perked up, and he said in a deep voice: "Although the Southern Huns are not of my race, since they settled in the state, they have had a lot of sinicization in their living habits, and they are not reckless and ignorant. Especially this Yu Fuluo, for our Han people's temper is very thorough, and the land of the state is not a blind grassland, many times, the way of fighting on the grassland is not suitable for here, Yu Fuluo is a person who knows General Wang Kuang and General Zhang Yang well, so it is very likely that Yu Fuluo has expected that our army is only holding on to this purpose, not fighting with it, and because General Wang Kuang is in the north, Yu Fuluo of course has to guard against one or two, and Yu Fuluo is most afraid of forming a flank attack, If General Wang Kuang unites the strength of the Southern Xiongnu tribes against Furod, then Yu Fuluo must not be able to resist, if I am Yu Fuluo, since this period of time can not be broken, it is better to put a few empty camps, leaving only a small number of men and horses to confuse the general, and the rest of the brigade of men and horses directly to the boundary of Xihe County, to wait for work, in Zhongyang and other places to attack General Wang Kuang from afar, these places are very suitable for horse warfare with the Huns, General Wang Kuang's intelligence sources have always been General Zhang Yang and we transmit, However, if our news is false, General Wang Kuang will most likely be killed by us. Once Yu Fuluo defeated General Wang Kuang, then Taiyuan County would fall into Yu Fuluo's hands, which gave him bargaining chips with anyone. ”

When Chang Lin heard this, his face changed greatly, he didn't expect this possibility.

Chang Yan looked down on Yan Rou very much, and when he saw Yan Rou talking eloquently at this moment, he couldn't help but say: "This is just your conjecture, and there is no factual basis." ”

Yan Rou has seen a lot of these people under Zhang Yangde's hands over the years, where is there any leisure to quarrel with Chang Fang, just looked at Chang Yan and said: "There is nothing in this world that can be completely grasped, is it because we are not sure that we will not do it?" Chang Yan opened his mouth and couldn't refute it, Yan Rou no longer looked at him, and said earnestly to Chang Lin with a fist: "General, this thing is very likely to happen, did the general think about why the army gave up the attack on our army during this time?" Zhan County is only a stone's throw away from Taiyuan County, and if I am not mistaken, Yu Ban's army is simply preparing to unite with Fuluo to attack General Wang Kuang. ”

Chang Lin's face became extremely ugly, and he nodded: "Sir, what he said is reasonable, some time ago, there were indeed rumors of cooperation between Yanzhou and Yu Fuluo. ”

Yan Rou snorted coldly: "I don't know if General Lu Dao has thought that the mission of Gao Shun's army is obviously to go to Chang'an and attack Niu Fu, but why did he suddenly launch an attack on us when he passed through Bingzhou?" If no one secretly colluded with it, how could Gao Shun's army have such a strange move? ”

Chang Lin's face became so ugly at this time.

Yan Rou snorted coldly and said, "So, I thought our army should cross the river now!" (To be continued......)
