In the romance, it is said that Cao Cao is "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", but in fact, these seven words were not invented by Cao Jiaban, but invented by Yuan Jiaban - the genuine inventor is frustrated, he once advised Yuan Shao: "And the city of Jinzhou is rough, the soldiers are strong, and the west is welcome, that is, the official Yedu, coercing the Son of Heaven and ordering the princes, and the cattle and horses to ask for the court, who can control it?" ”

"Serve the Son of Heaven to please not be a minister" and "Coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes", they all sound similar in meaning, but in fact, the positions are completely different. "Feng Tianzi" is to put the Son of Heaven in the upper position, and "coercing the Son of Heaven" is to trample the Son of Heaven under his feet.

But now that it is Xun, he has just said this politically incorrect remark - one is that he knows that Cao Cao is not so pedantic, and the other is that there is no third person next to him anyway, what about these three...... If Lao Tzu advocates the same as Xun Yu and them, then what political benefits can he get!

He explained to Cao Cao, saying: "Feng Tianzi, you can be close to Fengye, or you can be far away, but if you are close to Feng, you are afraid that Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, and Zhang Yang's generation will be constrained, and Yao Feng will be controlled by him." The people's reputation should be followed, and those who are not ministers should be begged, but if someone violates the yang and the yin, is clearly a Hanchen, and has different aspirations, can't he ask for it? Ruxun went to Xiangyang this time and saw Liu Biao with the Jiuhan Dragon Banner as his guide......"

Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard this: "Liu Biao'an dares to do this!" "It was Xunxin who said that you don't scold Liu Biao, you will only do more than Liu Biao in the future, and then said: "Therefore, I advise the lord to 'coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes', send troops to Luoyang, and exclude Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and other generations. And the sole ruler of the government. At that time, the decree of the Lord was the decree of the Son of Heaven. Those who are not subordinate to the lord are not subordinate to the Son of Heaven. Only with the unification of this decree can the world return to the heart, and then the heroes will be ruined, and the Anhan room will ...... "Of course, he can't persuade Cao Cao to usurp the throne at this time, if it's really fake, he still has to put "Anhan" as the ultimate goal.

"If you can't coerce the Son of Heaven and want to order the princes, it's no different from a mirror. If you can't make the princes want to settle the world, you will also ask for fish for the sake of the wood. This honor is also for the Lord's public account, but it cannot be said to others. ”

Shi Xun's words are very clear: you can't just "serve the Son of Heaven", you must have the absolute right to speak and decide in the court; You can't just "please not be a minister", for the sake of the unification of the world, you have to conquer the heroes, regardless of whether they are in favor of the Han Dynasty and respect the Han Dynasty, if they dare not listen to you, they must all be wiped out. In these years, loyal ministers can't settle the world, they have to be powerful ministers.

Cao Cao heard this. The eyes suddenly opened up, and he was holding Shixun's hand tightly. He shook it several times: "Hongfu Zhen's son's room." "It's Xun Xin who said don't mind, you have already praised Xun Yu for being your ovary, didn't you still force him to death after the worst death? I don't deserve this kind of room......

After talking about the matter, seeing that the sky was about to darken, Cao Cao called people to put food on the table, and said that he wanted to talk to Shi Xun about the trip to Jingzhou. It's Hoon's heart trembling - you want to eat your family's food again? Cousin, please spare me! Hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it: "Wait, Xun has a poem, which is about to be dedicated to the lord." ”

Cao Cao said okay, just use your masterpiece to accompany the wine - come and listen? So it was Xun who stroked his beard, and the man chanted in a long voice: "Xijing is chaotic, and the jackal and tiger are in trouble...... which is Wang Cang's "Seven Mourning Poems".

Cao Cao listened to it while admiring the knots, and frowned when he finished, saying no, the poem is a good poem, but this tone is not like Hongfu you, when have you been to Xijing Chang'an? Shi Xun smiled slightly: "This is not what Xun did, but what did Gaoping Wang Zhongxuan do - what does the lord think of him?" ”

Cao Cao said that I had heard of this Wang Cang, but today I heard his poem for the first time, what a talent. Shi Xun asked, "Does the lord want to see him?" Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "I don't know where Wang Zhongxuan is now?" "Yes Xun said that he was waiting for you to summon me at my house.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to summon Wang Cang, saying simply, let's have dinner together when he comes! It's Xun Xin who said, I still can't escape this Cao family meal......

Cao Cao admired Wang Cang's literary talent very much, and when he met for the first time, he signed him as Xi Cao Peng. At that time, from the three dukes to the county and the state, all of them were divided into Cao Zhi, which was equivalent to the prototype of the six departments in later generations, such as Hu Cao, Bing Cao, Book Cao, etc., but the east and west Cao, according to the rule, only the three dukes were placed, but at this time, many shogunates also set up this position - for example, Liu Biao was the general of Zhennan, and Cao Cao was the general of Xingfenwu, so they successively set up the east and west Cao. The election of the East Cao Minister, the West Cao Election of the Minister, to put it bluntly, Wang Cang served as the West Cao Peng, which was equivalent to the administrative director of the Cao Cao shogunate.

This position is not high, and it is not low to say low, but it is more important to follow the boss directly, and the position is very critical. Therefore, Wang Cang was overjoyed, and wrote a poem on the spot to praise Cao Cao's virtues. Cao Cao was happy to hear this, and twisted his not thick beard, but Shi Xun felt a little pantothenic acid in his heart - but if Lao Tzu also had this talent for composing poetry, he wouldn't have to see Tian'er running around hard, and he could be steadily promoted just by patting his ass.

Of course, Cao Cao is not a boss who likes flattery, he doesn't eat ordinary sycophants, this has to be quite literary sycophants to make him comfortable. Those who can write poetry must be able to write, even if they exchange official documents in these years, they also attach great importance to the beauty of the words, not just the text and words, just explain things clearly, so since they can shoot literary and artistic sycophants, they can naturally take over the important task of writing official documents, so Cao Cao is willing to reuse Wang Cang.

The next day, Cao Jiaban held another meeting and continued to discuss the issue of welcoming the Son of Heaven - the meeting a few days ago decided to send troops to Luoyang, but the specific issues of how many troops to send and who should lead the way have not yet been finalized. During the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions one after another, but only Shixun looked at his nose and nose, and was silent. No way, these details are not his forte.

But Cao Cao finally named him: "What do you think Hongfu thinks?" It was Xun who pretended to arch his hand: "The first general, Xun thinks that the son is cheap." "In the original history, Cao Hong was the first to welcome the emperor, so let's still be him.

Xun Yu said: "I must first make a scholar go to the Son of Heaven to the will of King Shenqin, so as not to misunderstand......" Shi Xun sighed secretly, and said in his heart that it must still be me - I can't escape anyway, so let's just speak first. It's also a little more positive. So I took a step forward. interrupted Xun Yu's words: "Although Xun is not talented. May it be the first to send the sun. ”

Cao Cao said Hongfu, you have just come back from Jingzhou, and you are going to travel far away before you have enough breath, Cao is really unbearable - then you should leave early tomorrow morning. Shi Xun secretly greeted Cao Cao's large number of female relatives, and then waved his hand: "Wait." Although Xun is willing to go to Luoyang, there is a proverb in the township: 'Maocai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable', so you can't help but worry about it. ”

The Eastern Han Dynasty avoided the ridicule of Emperor Liu Xiu, so "Xiucai" was changed to "Maocai". It means Hoon. Now there is still a vote of military leaders around the Son of Heaven, what Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, Han Xian, Li Le...... If you go to meet the Son of Heaven and the Minister by yourself, that's no problem, but if you are stopped by those military leaders and don't let you see you, the task will be difficult to complete - "So ask for a soldier and a horse, and one or two brave men as a support." "You'll have to send me some bodyguards, so I dare to go anywhere.

Guo Jia opened his mouth and said that what Hongfu said was reasonable, but since he was the first to pass through the heavens, there were not many soldiers. Click on the fine ride of two or three hundred. Cao Cao pointed at Xiahou Yuan: "Miaocai, Qing Kefa has three hundred elite horsemen." Escort Kosuke to the city. Tai Shici came out of the class and asked for an order: "I am also willing to protect Hongfu to go to Yu." "Cao Cao said that you are a general, don't move lightly, I will send you to be Cao Hong's deputy, and the second one will go to welcome the Son of Heaven.

It was Xunxin who said that if Ziyi was willing to follow, then he would definitely be as stable as Mount Tai - he didn't need to do anything, as long as he made a name for himself, it was estimated that Han Xian and they would all have to be scared. But Cao Cao refused to let Tai Shici go with him, so ...... Dian Wei is barely making do, right?

Of course he didn't dare to really speak, Dian Wei is now Cao Cao's personal guard captain, and it is impossible to send it to him. So he took a step forward and said: "Xun went to Jing this time, got a strong man, for the nephew of Anqiu Sun Binshi, his strength is outstanding, and he was given the secret technique of empty-handed snatching the blade by Nanyang Deng Zhan. "Cao Cao said Sun Wen, I heard you say it last night, and I haven't had time to see it yet, in this case, let him be the Sima in the army, and be your guard for the time being.

It was Xun who made a request later, saying that all the gentlemen here who have a relationship with the court officials should help write a few letters so that I can do things after I arrive in Luoyang. Xun Yu said: "Zhong Yuan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, often has an old relationship with a certain person, so he will be recommended as a book. "It's Xunxin who said Zhong Xuan, I know that Lu Dao~ I didn't expect that even he was the person in your bag......

Early the next morning, Xiahou Yuan allocated 300 elite cavalry, with a general of the same clan Xiahou Lan as the governor, to escort Shixun and Sun Wen out of Juancheng and rush to Luoyang. At the same time, it was agreed that Cao Hong would send troops to follow up in three days, and Cao Cao would gather a large army and set off for Luo ten days later.

Shi Xun specially went to visit Tai Shici before leaving and entrusted Wei Yan to him. In order to avoid trouble, he didn't tell Tai Shici the truth, just said that this is the son of an old friend of mine, quite powerful, and likes martial arts, I hope Ziyi you will teach him well. Tai Shi Ci is really a good friend, without saying a word, he patted his chest and said that you can rest assured, if he is really a good seedling, I will definitely be able to teach him. After finishing looking up and down Shi Xun, he shook his head slightly: "It's a pity, Hongsuke's root bones are not very bad, if you can get the Master and learn it since you were a child, you can be a future today." "It's Xun Xin who said forget it, just my body and bones in a poor ravine, even if I fight a little martial arts, it is estimated that it will be Cai Mao's two blows to death......

Before leaving the city, I had to be surprised, it turned out that Cao Cao was afraid that the status of Xun was too low, let alone seeing the Son of Heaven, I was afraid that he would not have enough confidence to see the minister, so he kept his promise last year and let Cao De file the document, and cited Xun as filial piety. It's Xun holding the paper, this child's fun...... Just like being admitted to a Jinshi in later generations, Lao Tzu's identity from now on will be very different.

Then he led his troops out of Juancheng. As a scribe and messenger, it stands to reason that he should go by car, but he was really impatient to kneel in the carriage that was so bumpy in this era, so he still rode a horse, and just let Sun Wen drive the car, load his luggage, and follow behind. After leaving the city, he asked Xiahoulan, saying that I am not familiar with the Tao, how do you think we can go?

Xiahou Lan is considered to be the brother of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan in terms of seniority, he is just in his early twenties, the young man is tall and tall, his face is old, even if he is wearing heavy armor, his back is straight, and he looks so reliable. Hearing that Xun asked, Xia Houlan said, the most convenient thing for us is to go to Puyang first, and then walk along the south bank of the Yellow River, seven or eight hundred miles, and run fast and get there in four days.

Is Xun Xin saying that you are crazy, running seven or eight hundred miles for four days? Are you marching or delivering a quick letter at a post station? Why are we running so fast? The emperor hasn't arrived in Luoyang yet, so why don't you just wait there? And if there is a conflict between Dong Cheng and something, Cao Hong of the second team is still far behind, and he can't find reinforcements. Don't do it, let's take our time, we can march at the usual pace of infantry, and it will be done in seven days. (To be continued......)
