Chapter 1307: Loyalty or Righteousness
Xun Yu's residence was surrounded by the residences of Cao Cao's advisers and generals.
Liu Wei asked the details of the courtyard, led Wang Liu and the others, and went straight to the gate.
Standing at the door, he asked the soldiers who were guarding the door and bowing to him with their fists in their fists, "Can Xun Yu live here?" โ
The officer who led a team of soldiers to guard Xun Yu maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Xun Yu lives here, and the villain asked him to come and take over!" โ
"No!" Waving his hand at the officer, Liu Wei turned over and got off his horse and strode towards the courtyard.
A team of palace guards who followed Liu Wei to this place saw him turn over and jump off the horse, and hurriedly followed, and after entering the courtyard, they quickly replaced the original soldiers.
The Han soldiers who were replaced did not dare to delay too long in the courtyard, so they ran out of the main gate and waited outside the gate.
Entering the courtyard, Liu Wei walked straight to the wing room at the back, and Wang Liu and more than a dozen guards who had not replaced the Han army followed closely behind him.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the wing, a guard who followed Liu Wei sped up and ran quickly towards the row of houses, and shouted loudly as he ran: "Your Majesty is coming, Xun Yu is not yet driving, when will you wait?" โ
Xun Yu, who was in the house, heard the shouts of the guards, and did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly opened the door and ran out.
When he got out of the room, he saw Liu Wei who was walking towards this side at a glance, and hurriedly bent his legs and knelt on the ground, shouting loudly: "Sinner Xun Yu, knock to see Your Majesty!" โ
When he saw Liu Bian, he knelt on the ground, so that Wang Liu, who was following Liu Bian, couldn't help but feel a little contempt for him in his heart.
In the past, after capturing the general, Liu Wei would take some trouble before persuading him to surrender, and this Xun Yu just saw someone, so he knelt down and called him a minister, obviously he had the intention to serve Liu Wei.
Unlike Wang Liu and the other guards, seeing Xun Yu kneeling at the door, Liu Wei quickened his pace, walked quickly to him, and said to him with both hands: "Wen Ruo get up!" โ
Liu Wei called his cousin, Xun Yu was taken aback, and did not dare to get up immediately, but knelt on the ground, and made a big salute to him, and then stood up.
Xun Yu stood up, and Liu Wei made a gesture of invitation to him and said, "Go inside and speak!" โ
"No!" Clenching his fists and retreating to the side, Xun Yu said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, please!" โ
Nodding at him, Liu Wei strode into the room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw several books on the low table.
Walking straight to the low table, Liu Wei bent down to pick up the book, looked at it twice, turned back to Xun Yu who followed the room and said, "Wen Ruo these days, is it to pass the time by reading books?" โ
Following up in the house, Xun Yu hugged his fists and bowed to face Liu Wei, and said tremblingly: "The crime deserves death, since I arrived in Luoyang, I have no luck, and I am reading some idle books these days, just waiting for death!" โ
Throwing the book on the table, Liu Wei sat down in the main seat, looked at Xun Yu, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Did I say that I wanted to kill you?" โ
As soon as he said this, Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at him with a stunned face and said: "The criminal minister is wearing Cao Cao's clothes and armor, leading away the soldiers of the Han army, and letting that Cao Cao escape from Xiangping. โ
"Don't spare you, and wait for you to tell why you want to let that Cao Cao go and do it again!" Liu Wei did not immediately tell Xun Yu that he would spare him for the death penalty, but asked him about the reason for letting Cao Cao go.
Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Xun Yu said: "The criminal minister and Cao Cao are old friends, and Xi Zhicai and Guo Fengxiao were all recommended to Cao Cao by the criminal ministers. Cao Cao is a hero, if there is no majesty, he can restore the Han ......"
"Bold!" As soon as Xun Yu said this, Wang Liu, who followed into the house, pulled out half of the long sword at his waist, and shouted angrily: "Rebel ministers and thieves, dare to talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty!" Aren't you afraid that General Ben will behead you? โ
Wang Liu's drink shocked Xun Yu all over.
Sitting behind the low table, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yan's mouth, and he waved his hand at Wang Liu and said, "Wang Liu doesn't have to be like this, what Wen Ruo said is not wrong." That Cao Cao was originally a hero, a wise man and a fierce general under his command, if it weren't for the strength I gathered in these years and finally broke it, he would have achieved a great cause after all! โ
Unexpectedly, Liu Wei would help him speak, Xun Yu bowed lower, and then said to Liu Wei: "The criminal minister has an old friendship with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has treated the criminal minister well for many years. On the same day, the army besieged Xiangping, but Cao Cao's soldiers and horses defended the city but could not stop the onslaught of the army. Cao Cao's wolf bรจi fled and would eventually fall into the hands of the army. Thinking that in the past few years, although he was rude to the first emperor, he was also diligent, and the criminal minister couldn't bear it for a while......"
"What a heart can't bear it!" Before Xun Yu finished speaking, Liu Wei didn't say anything, Wang Liu asked coldly: "Since ancient times, sages have clouds, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and the righteous word is still ranked last, but the public has abandoned the loyal word of the Han because of the righteous word." Can this general think that the allegiance of the public office is Cao Cao, not the Great Han? โ
Being asked by Wang Liu, Xun Yu suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on his back spine.
When he let Cao Cao go that day, he was really angry with Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that the righteous words he valued were contrary to the loyal words to the Han Dynasty!
Cold sweat broke out in his heart, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed from his forehead.
Wang Liu has followed Liu Wei for many years, and Liu Wei has never seen her question someone so eloquently, but today she is here to embarrass Xun Yu repeatedly, obviously not having a good impression of this criminal who let Cao Cao go.
Waving his hand at Wang Liu, Liu Wei did not scold her, but turned his head to look at Xun Yu, and said with a slight smile: "Wen Ruo, can you tell Yu Zhen that if I capture Cao Cao, what will I do?" โ
I didn't expect Liu Wei to ask such a question, Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and then said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty treats the people and soldiers leniently, but he is extremely harsh to officials. โ
Staring at Xun Yu, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and he nodded and said: "Wen Ruo's expectations are good, Cao Cao is a hero in troubled times, if I don't kill him, my heart will be uneasy!" โ
"That's it!" Waving his hand at Xun Yu, Liu Wei stood up and said to him: "I only ask you one thing, if Cao Cao raises troops again and becomes an enemy of the Han Dynasty, how will Wen Ruo choose?" โ
"Cao Cao raised the army back then, it was to crusade against Dong Zhuo and Kuang Fu Han, and it was for the volunteers!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Xun Yu said in an unusually resolute tone: "Now that His Majesty has recovered the Great Han, if Cao Cao raises troops again, he will be the enemy of the world and the Great Han, and the criminal minister will definitely not tolerate him!" โ
"If you have Wen Ruo's words, you can do it!" Nodding, Liu Wei walked up to Xun Yu, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said to him: "Cao Cao's fierce generals are like clouds, then Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and others are all fierce generals in the world, I really can't bear to do harm!" There are also Cheng Yu and others, I also pity their talents, if they are killed, I can't bear it! โ
From Liu Bian's words, he heard that he had recruited one of Xiahoudun and others, Xun Yu's eyelids drooped, and he pondered for a moment before saying to Liu Bian: "Cao Ren and others are Cao Cao's own sect, and they are afraid to persuade them to be ......."
"Inform them!" Xun Yu's face showed a look of embarrassment, Liu Wei patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said to him: "Let's just say that I originally planned to issue an edict to arrest Cao Cao, but because they are from the same clan as Cao Cao, I decided to bypass Cao Mengde." If Cao Mengdeken comes to Luoyang, I will also be added to the rank and knight to ensure that he does not die! โ
Cao Cao is the hero of the world, and everyone in the world knows it.
Liu Wei left Cao Cao, undoubtedly burying a hidden danger around him.
But in order to attract Xiahoudun and others, he categorically decided to let Cao Cao go, which made Xun Yu also taken aback, staring at him with a stunned face.
"Leave this matter to Wen Ruo!" Gently patting Xun Yu's shoulder, Liu Wei greeted Wang Liu and the others, turned around and walked towards the door.
Following closely behind Liu Wei and sending him to the main gate of the house, Xun Yu stopped, hugged his fists and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty Hongfu, the Han Dynasty has been going on for thousands of years!" โ
Turned over on the war horse, and when he heard Xun Yu's call, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth pulled slightly, turned the war horse, and shouted to Wang Liu and the others: "Go!" โ
Before leaving, Wang Liu did not forget to turn back and shout to the pair of Han soldiers guarding Xun Yu: "If Mr. Xun wants to visit someone else, just let him go!" โ
A team of Han troops guarding Xun Yu heard Wang Liu's shout and hurriedly responded.
Standing at the door, looking at the back of Liu Wei leading the people away, the look on Xun Yu's face was solemn.
Since Liu Wei fled Luoyang with Tang Ji back then, he has never seen the emperor who was deposed by Dong Zhuo.
Almost everyone thought that it was impossible for Liu Wei to survive in the troubled times, but only more than ten years later, the abolished emperor, who was almost forced to death by Dong Zhuo, occupied the Central Plains and had a hundred battles of hundreds of thousands of heroes under his command.
There are many heroes in the world, but in the past ten years, they have fallen into mutual attack, and now they have not been pacified, only the southern heroes.
Following the current development momentum of the Han army, Xun Yu believes that in less than two years, Liu Wei will be able to wave his troops south, pacify the heroes of all walks of life in the south, and complete the restoration of the Han Dynasty!
Leading the team, Liu Wei walked farther and farther, knowing that he was riding a war horse and walking up another alley, and his figure completely disappeared from Xun Yu's sight, Xun Yu thought for a while, and said to the Han army officer who had just taken over his residence: "This officer, I want to go to Cao Ren's residence, I don't know if it's okay?" โ
The officer who had already received Wang Liu's order and led this team of soldiers to guard Xun Yu could not stop him, and said to him in a loud voice: "Go and go, just don't secretly make some festivals!" โ
"Don't worry, Chief!" Clenching his fists and bowing to the officer, Xun Yu walked towards the house where Cao Ren lived under the supervision of two Han soldiers.
