It was Xun who made up his mind, so he found an opportunity to lead the topic to the cosmic theories of Gaitian, Hun Tian and Xuanye, and then began to instill in Xun Chen that the earth was a sphere, and the sun, moon and stars were suspended in the void - he didn't dare to say that the earth revolves around the sun, that was too shocking. But just like that, it's enough to scare Xun Chen a lot.

As the saying goes, if someone is knowledgeable, they all say that "if you go up to astronomy, you will know geography", but in fact, geography is easy to say, and astronomy is related to personnel in this era, which is extremely mysterious, and it is really not something that ordinary scholars dare to study. Xun Chenxin said that this is Hongfu, and he is really a genius, and he can be proficient in astronomy at a young age? What else do you say, the earth is spherical?

He pondered for a long time, and boldly asked: "In front of Chen in Bohai, as Hongfu said, there is a ship coming from afar, first see its sail and then see its body, it can be seen that the earth has an arc. However, if it is a ball, the bottom side of the ball will have no water, and there will be no animal? Does Ander not flow into the void, or head down and feet up? ”

Shi Xun pretended to smile mysteriously: "Character livestock, why bother with your head and feet, although this matter is common, how can it be explained?" Have you ever thought of it? ”

Xun Chen shook his head: "Please teach me Hongfu." ”

"Characters and livestock, wearing the sky and walking on the earth," Shi Xun explained to him, "the ground is under the feet, the ground is on the top, the ground is on the top, and the one who tramples on the ground is not below." Of course, where the earth is, it is naturally below, so the other side of the ball is also lower in our eyes, and in the eyes of the people and livestock at the other end, we are inferior to it. ”

Xun Chen lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then replied hesitantly: "It seems that it can be understood, but it really can't be imagined ......."

Oh yes. It's Xun Xin who said that it's better if you don't understand, Lao Tzu can be regarded as a game.

The two talked all the way. It's not lonely, and I can't say that I hate to see each other late. That's also quite a deed, but before they entered Qingzhou, they all omitted the word "Mr". Finally, at the beginning of May, they rushed to their destination, Yecheng City.

Shixun saw the gate of Yecheng from a distance, and suddenly called to the coachman: "Stop, stop." He turned his head and said to Xun Chen: "Xun thought about it repeatedly, but he still didn't go." ”

Xun Chenxin said that this is all at the door, you suddenly retreated, what kind of trouble are you going to make? Hurry up and persuade. Yes Xun took the opportunity to say it. It's not difficult for me to enter Yecheng, you have to promise me two more things.

Xun Chen was angry and funny, and said in his heart that you have a lot of conditions, okay, I'll listen to what you want to say, if it's too unreasonable - this is the hinterland of the Yuan family, are you still afraid that you won't be able to fly to the sky? "Hongsuke, please speak face to face."

Shi Xun stretched out two fingers and said slowly: "If you return to General Yuan, it is so-and-so." This cannot be exaggerated. If the praise is too great, General Yuan must be retained, and the dissatisfaction of the hundreds of officials in Jizhou will be aroused; If it is too bad, I am afraid that General Yuan will not meet him. "That means. If you talk about me casually, don't talk too much, and you can't hold it up to heaven. Don't step on it to death.

Xun Chen said that you have a heart, but at the same time, you think too much. I can't praise you to heaven, and I'm not going to make you like stinking shit—good. I promise you this, what else?

Yes Xun then said: "General Xun will meet the sages of Jizhou, and it is inevitable that there will be a fight between words. The so-called tongue argument is not only about its reasoning, but also about its heart. Sun Wu Ziyun: 'Anger can be insulted, honesty can be humiliated, and love for the people is annoying. 'If there are any grotesque and absurd words and deeds at the time, you don't seem to have seen or heard of it. "That means, in order to win the debate, I may play all kinds of tricks, and you should not see it, you should not hear it, and you should not be surprised, and do not stop it.

When Xun Chen heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "Chen Zheng wants to see Hongfu's 'grotesque and desolate'!" ”

After entering Yecheng, Xun Chen arranged Shixun in his own home, and also went to the hall to see his wife and children. It was Xun Xin who said that if you really think that the two of us can talk about it and can be friends, then I am grateful to you, if you want to play the emotional card and help Yuan Shao win me over, then forget it...... Lao Tzu knows the fate of the Yuan family, this seemingly gorgeous broken ship, that is what will not be said.

Then, Xun Chen ran to report to Yuan Shao, and came back to tell Shi Xun that General Yuan had agreed to your request and planned to hold a banquet in three days. Because I said that you are not an official envoy from other states, the banquet is not set up in the state office, but arranged in another business outside the city of General Yuan. Shi Xun hurriedly thanked him: "If you bother, you are bothered." ”

I didn't say anything that night, but I didn't expect that the next morning, Xun Chen suddenly ran and said, Frustrated, I want to see Hongfu you. It was Xun who made a face: "Xun once said first, the sages of Jizhou, but when he gathered, he only saw one face, how could Youruo bring others here?" Do you want to break your word? Xun Chen waved his hand again and again: "Fu Zifu is different from others, and he is a tacit friend, and this time he came here not for official business, but just for a private visit." Please also ask Kosuke to see him. ”

Yes Xun had no choice, and said in my heart that I was really interested in this frustrated professor, so I might as well see it a little, so I warned Xun Chen, let's not take it as an example.

He is a native of Guangping County, Julu County, the first real power person under Yuan Shao, and he is appointed as the supervisor of the army, and he is a soldier in his hand. According to the general saying, during the Guandu War, Yuan Shao was defeated because he couldn't listen to the correct opinions of the three people, which eventually led to defeat - one of them was Tian Feng, who was imprisoned for direct advice; the second is Xu You, who was forced to surrender Cao; The third is this frustrated professor, who was captured and killed after the defeat. It can be said that among the strategists of the Yuan family, the wisdom of the Yuan family is ranked first or second, and the loyalty is also in the top three.

If someone else came to visit, even if Xun Chen said that the sky was broken, he might not be willing to see it - he has seen a lot of historical celebrities in his life, and he still cares about Jizhou, where most of them are not good to die? But when the frustration came, he was a little tempted, and said that it would be okay to meet him.

So he followed Xun Chen to the lobby, and saw that the frustrated Zifu was not tall, with a clear face, raised eyebrows and phoenix eyes, three strands of long hair, wearing a virtuous crown, wearing a silk jacket, and sitting with his hands down. Seeing them come out, Fu Yu quickly stood up and saluted, and Shi Xun returned the salute and sat down opposite him.

He explained it to Xun Chen in advance. said that I could meet, chat, drink or something with Fu Zhu, but it would never involve Xuzhou. If the other party mentions a related topic, then I will honestly and unceremoniously "hahaha". Even stand up and leave, speak first, don't blame me for being rude when the time comes. Xun Chen told Fu Zhu this, and Fu Zhu smiled slightly, Okay, let's not mention Xuzhou first, I'll start with Qingzhou-

"Yes, Mr. is a member of the Qingzhou Beihai State Mausoleum, right?"

Yeshun replied yes. Frustrated, he asked: "I heard that this yellow scarf was raging before, so Mr. moved the clan to run to Xu...... Moving south. Now that the son of Xiansi has settled in Qingzhou, didn't Mr. Xian think about going back to his hometown to take a look? People have their own roots. It is difficult to leave the hometown, and wandering outside is like transplanting flowers and trees, with few living and many defeated. ”

Shi Xun glanced at Xun Chen and replied lightly: "It is reported that Yuan Xiansi and Gongsun are fighting for Qingzhou, and after years of fierce battles, there is no grass in the wild. This honor is from Xu...... If you come with your friends, everywhere you see the fields barren and do not pay attention to them, and the people are displaced and have not gathered—although the countryside can be cherished, why is it not a place to live in peace? ”

Frustrated and said yes. The damage to Qingzhou is too great, and Yuan Tanshi is not a good person, so the recovery is very slow. Originally, the lord sent Zang Hong and Zang Ziyuan to do the history of Qingzhou Thorn, if he was there. When this gentleman went north, the situation must have been very different. It's a pity, why didn't you send your eldest son who can fight a war and can't understand civil affairs to Qingzhou? At the moment, I had to perfunctory: "It will take time to recover." ”

What did Hoon do here? Of course, Xun Chen had already reported it, and he was frustrated with the intention of coming. Naturally, it's not as simple as just visiting friends. Frustrated with the idea of not seeking anything out of the public, he had to wait for the big guys to get together in two days. The effect of what you say and what I say is often not as good as one-on-one earnest conversations, and besides, there are indeed a few super unreliable ...... under my command So he relied on his eloquence and planned to lobby Xun first, but he didn't expect it to be Xun's refusal: Let's not talk about any issues related to Xuzhou today. Damn, how do you go around in circles to convince him?

Yes, I can't mention Xuzhou, let's talk about Yanzhou, how great it is to show you how good my Great Jizhou is, even your lord Cao Cao has to look up to my lord's breath. If you waver, it is useless for your lord Cao Cao to insist, and the connection between Xu and Yan will definitely be severed, and my family will have a chance to take advantage of it.

But he was about to speak, but Xun preemptively grabbed the topic and asked him: "Xun has heard that Mr. Fu was originally under the command of Mu Han Gong of Jizhou, and after General Yuan entered Jizhou, he recruited Mr. as a guest, but is it true?" ”

Frustrated replied honestly that it was. So Shi Xun asked again: "I heard that Mr. Fu once taught Yuan Gong, raise the army to the east, can set Qingzhou, but also ask for Montenegro, can destroy Zhang Yan, return to the north, will lose his grandson, shock Rong Di, can serve the Huns." When the time comes, the north of the great river, the land of the four states, the talent of heroes, the millions of people, the command of the world, naturally no one is invincible. What do you have to say? ”

Frustrated nod: "Yes." It is the set that Xun just said, which was originally a proud work of frustration, and later generations have called it the "Four States Strategy", and some people even compare this remark with Lu Su's "couch strategy" and Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair", which is considered to be one of the three most outstanding strategic deployments in the late Han Dynasty. It is Xun who is also largely because of this set of strategies, and he is the only one in the Yuan family's strategist group, and he is valued the most.

Listening to the frustration admit that he did say this, it was not a mistake in the history books, it was Xun who took the opportunity to say: "Xun heard that the ancient evil beast was called gluttony, and it had no head and no body, and it was insatiable for its gluttony, so it harmed himself." Now that Gongsun has not been destroyed, Zhang Yan is on the run, and General Yuan is still coveting the south, is he also hungry? ”

In the original history, Xuzhou was in turmoil for many years, first beaten by Cao Cao, then occupied by Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and Qingzhou, which was guarded by Yuan Tan, was next to it, but basically he didn't stretch out his hand - at least on the surface. Why is this happening? It is precisely because Yuan Shao's number one enemy at this time is Gongsun Zhan, according to the "four-state strategy" that he has to first pacify Gongsun and stabilize the four states of Hebei, Qing, You, and He, and then he can talk about developing in a farther direction, so as not to fight on multiple fronts and fall into encirclement. Now the situation in Hebei is not much different from the original history, so it is Xun who said, you Youzhou and Bingzhou have not yet been leveled, why are you in a hurry to meddle in the affairs of Xuzhou? Be careful not to chew too much.

When he heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and asked, "Is it Mr. who can play?" (To be continued......)

PS: I have mentioned kneeling many times in this book, in fact, kneeling may not reflect any servility, because there was no stool in the Han Dynasty, everyone knelt and sit, so as long as you straighten your waist and leave your butt off your heels, it will change from sitting to kneeling, which is very convenient. So even among the peers, they often have to kneel, look, look, just like me...... Are you too embarrassed not to take out your commuter pass? If I don't take it out, I will not only kneel, but also lie down and make a head. You don't really want me to kowtow, do you? You don't want me to make a noise......
