Seeing that it was still early, it was Xun who walked and staggered to the Sikong Mansion, and this way was inevitably covered with dust. Fortunately, he was a frequent visitor to Sikong Mansion and had a relationship with Cao Cao, so he shouted first when he entered the door: "Make a basin of water to clean my face." Menzi didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly served hot water.

After straightening up his appearance, Shixun was led by a small official and went straight to the hall where his daily deliberations were held. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Cao Cao standing at the foot of the steps outside the hall, talking to a person. Shi Xun saw that it was wrong, the two of them were head to head, close together, but their voices seemed to be quite low - this was a secret conversation, so it was better not to disturb him first.

It didn't take long for the other person to finish the conversation, and the man gave Cao Cao a deep squeeze and turned to leave. Shi Xun saw it clearly, and waved slightly: "Cifan, it's been a long time." The man also hurriedly returned the salute: "Lu Hong has seen that it is Yilang." ”

Shi Xun took Lu Hong's hand and said, "You and I are old friends, why are you so polite? But I don't know what position Ci Fan holds in Sikong Mansion today? Lu Hong gently pulled off Shi Xun's hand: "It's just a small official, why don't you ask - Sikong Shicai said that it was Yilang, and Yilang can go to pay homage quickly." As he spoke, he shook his shoulders and passed by.

It's Xun Xin who said that this guy is mysterious, what is he doing? Seeing that Cao Cao was still standing at the foot of the stairs, looking at himself, he didn't dare to delay at the moment, and approached quickly. Before he could salute, Cao Cao first pressed his shoulder: "Cao Cao will come today—let's go to the hall, there is something important to discuss." ”

Shi Xun followed Cao Cao to the hall to take a look, hey, there are really a lot of people who dare to be affectionate, including Xun You, Guo Jia, Mao Jue, Wang Cang, and even Dong Zhao - Xun Yu has to work every day. I was so busy that I didn't have time to come to Sikong Mansion again. Anyway, Cao Cao has something to ask. will write a note immediately and send someone to send it, Xuchang City is not big, and it can't delay anything.

It was Xun who waved at everyone and said with a smile: "The sages are all over, there must be something important to discuss." Wang Cang knew him best, and asked half-jokingly: "Hongfu Duozhi, may you guess who it is for?" Since he asked "whose house", Shixun rolled his eyes. immediately replied: "Could it be Huainan?" ”

Cao Cao's "Ha Luha" Da Lu smiled and climbed to the main seat: "Hongfu doesn't say anything, he must be in his words." After laughing, his face sank, and he turned to Xun You: "Gongda can be prepared." ”

Although Xun Yu is Xun Yu's nephew, he is older than Xun Yu...... is even older than Xun Chen, almost forty years old, with an old face and a very dignified demeanor. Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun You wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Cao Cao waving his hand: "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk." ”

Xun You nodded. Unhurriedly, he began to narrate: "At the beginning of the year, Yuan Shu crossed the river and attacked Liu Zhengli (Liu Xuan), the assassin of Yangzhou. Our army attacked its rear road and took the five counties of Lujiang. Yuan Shu returned to Shouchun, but left him to run Jiangdong with Sun Ce. The day before yesterday, there was a letter to report that Sun Ce broke Zhenrong and Xue Li in Moling, and reverted to Niu Zhu to break Fan Neng and Yu Moose, and entered Qu'a. Liu Zhengli's remnants are less than 10,000, and I am afraid that there is no power to return to heaven. ”

When Shi Xun heard this, he was lightly startled, and said in his heart that the "little overlord" had finally crossed the river to exert his might-but there was no way, with his current ability, the butterfly wings could not be held by him, unless he helped Tai Shici cut him off that day...... No, no, a generation of heroes, it's okay to die at the hands of Ziyi, but if you look at Ziyi, he may not take his life, if he dies in his own hands, he really can't bear it......

Mao Jue said with some worry: "The only enemy I face in front of is Yuan Shu. Previously, he curled up in Huainan, which could be destroyed overnight, but now he crossed the river and took Danyang, and entered Wu County, which was a little longer, and if he did not get rid of it, it would be a big disaster. Xun You shook his head slowly: "Fortunately, it has only been more than a month, the hearts of the Quartet have not been attached, and the autumn harvest will be made, so we should not send troops to Huainan at this time." ”

Cao Cao gently tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "I will destroy Yuan Shu!" But even if the army is mobilized, it should be in the autumn and winter, at this moment, can you have a clever plan to deal with it? ”

Shi Xun glanced at Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao seemed to have thought of something, lowered his head and groaned, and had no intention of speaking for the time being. If you don't say it, then I'll say: "Do you know how Sun Ce is like a person?" Wang Cang replied: "It is said that he is the son of Sun Wentai, a general who has been captured for a long time, and he is extremely brave. Shi Xun smiled slightly: "Xun also has a relationship with him." ”

Cao Cao leaned forward slightly: "When will Hongfu see Sun Ce?" Shi Xun replied, "Cao ...... The lord can still remember that in the past, it was a certain Chengyang order, escorting grain to Runan, and being chased by Yuan's rangers in Lumen Pavilion. ”

Cao Cao said yes, yes, I remembered it, you mentioned it to me after you came back-"Is this person really brave?" Shi Xun nodded: "Sun Ce is skilled in arching and horses, only slightly inferior to Ziyi, and he is ...... with Lu Bu" He said in his heart, if Lu Bu heard this kind of words in person, you would have to vomit blood in anger-"As for the ability to use soldiers, he is also a great person for a while." However, he is young and vigorous, his sex is like fire, and there is another thing that is extremely Xiao is his father......"

Cao Cao asked, "Which one?" Shi Xun smiled slightly: "I think too highly of myself, and I am not willing to be subservient." In the past, Sun Wentai and Yuan Shu discussed Dong thief, Yuan Shu cut off his grain and straw, and Wentai personally galloped into the Yuan camp and reprimanded him in person. It can be known that between Yuan and Sun, there is no master and slave, and there is also a real alliance. I expect Sun Ce to be unwilling to live under Yuan Shu for a long time...... "He originally wanted to say next, please ask the court to reward him with a name, and send an envoy to talk about Sun Ce, so that he can draw a line with Yuan Shu, but after thinking about it, he meows the old ...... Since Yu made Jing, the seat is not warm, if this plan is offered, I am afraid that it will be far away from the rivers and lakes. Why bother? Why am I doing this? Forget it, just shut up here, and don't go any further.

But what he didn't say, Guo Jia actually helped to say: "What Hongfu said is in line with Jia." Now you can send an envoy to Jiangdong to take the name of the imperial court and envelop it, so that it can slowly use Yuan Shu. It is difficult for Yuan and Sun to be combined, and it is easy to get together. ”

Ahh Shi Xun hurriedly turned his head and pretended to be contemplative, neither looking at Guo Jia nor Cao Cao, hoping that they would ignore themselves for the time being. However, he is a little bit left, at this moment the Xuchang Imperial Court has just been built, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, Cao Cao is simply inseparable from these main strategists around him, especially Xun Yu, Shi Xun and others who were specially placed in the court. Besides, the Son of Heaven brought so many ministers and hundreds of officials from Kansai, and it was useless to eat idle meals all day long, but if you send an envoy back to the official, you can just point to one person.

At that moment, Cao Cao thought about it, and then looked at Xun You. Xun You nodded slightly: "The plan offered by the two gentlemen is very appropriate. "Cao Cao said okay, then let's do it first, I'll write to Wen Ruo later, what position to give Sun Ce, who to send to announce the decree, and I'll hand it all over to him.

At the moment, he casually chatted about the current situation and the situation in the capital, and Cao Cao announced the "dismissal of the meeting", but he deliberately left Shixun behind, saying: "Hongfu contributed the commentary on the scriptures yesterday, and I read it all night, although I didn't dare to agree with it, I also saw that there was a new theory in it, and it was not often talked about by old Confucians. If it is not bad, the source of its argument is "Mencius"? ”

It was Xunxin who said that your eyes were like torches, and he nodded at the moment, and pulled the banner to make a tiger skin: "I went to Jingzhou before, and I met Zhao Qinggong to teach the righteousness of "Mencius", so I felt that I was a note to "Poetry". Meng Ziyun: 'The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. This is a theory that has not been made by others, but Mencius alone said that it is the most reasonable thing to think about carefully. ”

Cao Cao nodded, saying that I had written the poem "Duguan Mountain" in the past, and I also mentioned this truth, and immediately chanted:

"Between heaven and earth, people are precious. Establish a monarch and herdsmen, and follow the rules. Rutted horse tracks, four poles of latitude and longitude. The gloom is bright, and the dawn is thriving. Yu Shuo Xiansheng, the president of the state. Feudal Five Lords, Jingtian Prison. There is a book of burnts, but there is no universal forgiveness. Gao Tao Fuhou, how can he be derelict in his duties? In later generations, the system was reformed and changed. Labor and people are kings, and servants are endowed with their strength. Shun lacquer food utensils, the side of the ten countries, not as good as Tang Yao, the rafters are not cut. The world sighs and wants to be vulgar. Extravagance is great, and thrift is a common virtue. If you allow you to push and concede, how can there be a lawsuit? Love is still the same, and the sparse one is a relative. ”

It was Xunxin who said that I am familiar with your poem, and hurriedly complimented: "The lord is a great talent, this poem is a good choice for the time." Of course, it is not enough to just talk empty words, he went on to analyze: "'Between heaven and earth, people are precious, and the monarch and herdsmen are established for the track', it can be known that there are people first, and the people gather for the country, and the monarch is established because of the country." If you follow the will of the people, the country will be complete and the king will be in charge, and if you go against the will of the people, the country will die and the king will die. The people are like water, and the king is like a boat, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat. Those who carry boats in the water, Gaozu and Guangwu, are prosperous because of it; Those who were overwhelmed by the water, Xia Wei and Shang Xuan, died because of it. ”

Cao Cao took a few cases: "Hongfu's words are very good, and the saying of carrying a boat and capsizing a boat can also be noted as a scripture and passed on to future generations." Saying that, the topic suddenly changed: "The position of the Lang is very leisurely, and Hongfu's family has not yet agreed, when I have time, it is better to teach my son - Zixiu (Cao Ang) Although he is crowned, he has not learned well, and he needs to be taught by his elders." ”

Shi Xun took the opportunity to ask, saying that I met An Min in the palace, and I have been sheltered as a lang, why don't you let Zixiu also become a lang official, or what other duties to exercise and exercise, and you have to take it with you all the time? Cao Cao smiled and pursed his lips: "Those who want to be Lang are close to the Son of Heaven, and they are good for the future." However, now, the Son of Heaven ...... Zixiu is in Sikong Mansion, helping me, and not losing to Weilang. "Did Xun Xin say that you dare to finish the words that you swallowed in a hurry? Do you want to say, "How close to the Son of Heaven is as close to me as you are"?

Of course, he only dared to spit out Cao Cao's groove in his heart, and arched his hand at the moment: "Wang Zhongxuan's poetry and writing are good, and Zixiu's literature and art can be entrusted to Zhongxuan; Xun Gongda has been in the Yellow Gate for a long time, and it is the way of government, which can be entrusted to Gongda. Xun had nothing else to do, so he had to talk to Zixiu about the scriptures. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "There is also Qing's sharp mouth, which should also be passed on to the son of Xiu - this is too old and wooden, which is quite worrying." (To be continued......)
