Chapter 689: Xun Yu's helplessness
Xun Yu can be regarded as being tied to Miyun, of course, Zhen Xiang definitely did not tie Xun Yu with a rope.
On the same day, Xun Yu hurriedly returned to Yingyin's house, trying to persuade the clansmen to relocate.
Some people suggested moving to Wei County in Jizhou, because Xun Zhan mixed well there, and he could expand his living space in Jizhou along with this situation, but Jizhou is a place controlled by the family, and it may not be too easy to go to Jizhou to seek a new world.
Therefore, there is another opinion to move to the south, because the power of the clans in the south is still relatively weak, and even if they are brave enough, they can open up further south, which is still a wild land, a terra nullius.
Of course, this pioneering spirit is worthy of praise and encouragement, but also can not ignore the risks, although it is a borderless land, but there are barbarian rampant, Xun's poetry and books heirloom farming and reading for a living, but lack of the blessing of force, no force blessing, how to open up the wilderness?
It is not easy to compete with tigers in the north, and it is not possible to open up the wilderness in the south, so is it possible to develop horizontally? Now Xuzhou and Yangzhou are still stable, and some areas of Jingzhou can also be considered, and Shuzhong can also be considered if it is not good, although it is not very peaceful there, but there seems to be no big chaos.
If there are many people, there will be many ideas, and if there are many ideas, Xun Yu is neither a son-in-law nor a strong candidate for the heir of the head of the family, but just a slightly famous son of Neifang Zhengshuo, although among the new generation of children, he is one of the best. He is an outstanding talent in the next generation of the Xun clan, but his words definitely do not have that much influence in the clan.
Xun Yu's initial idea was inclined to go north to Jizhou. With the foundation laid by his brother Xun Zhan, in the process of reshuffling the clan in Jizhou, he should take a lot of advantage, and Xun Yu felt that Han Fu's reputation and strength were not bad, how could the war burn into Han Fu's lair so quickly.
However, the appearance of Fang Zhiwen later made Xun Yu really consider the option of Miyun and Youzhou, speaking of which. Miyun is indeed a good choice, now that the Hu clan in the north of Youzhou has been swept away by Fang Zhiwen in one fell swoop, there is no longer any worry about border troubles, and no matter how strong the power of the Youzhou clan is, it is impossible to occupy all the land. Let alone. In the Miyun series, it is also said to have controlled land annexation, and carried out planned development and circulation of land. Therefore, it is a pretty good choice for outsiders.
Even if the traditional clan is wary of Miyun's policy, but they can also choose to go to Liu Yu or Gongsun Zhan's territory, judging from Fang Zhiwen's previous war history, Fang Zhiwen's army discipline is quite strict, and there is almost no record of disturbing the people and looting, of course. Say something else to the foreigners.
As a result, Xun Yu also proposed going north to Youzhou as an alternative in the family meeting. But he was vetoed by the old people in the clan, which made Xun Yu feel very helpless, and even felt that these clan elders were a little too rigid and stubborn.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo's troops had taken down Yang Zhai and were not far from Yingyin, the clansmen had no choice but to make a decision to scatter things, which could be regarded as a large-scale dispersal of the Xun clan, although this decision was a bit sad, but from a strategic point of view, there was nothing wrong with it.
This result made Xun Yu very depressed, and he couldn't imagine that Fang Zhiwen, an outsider, would actually say a word about Xun's final decision, which made Xun Yu, who prides himself on being smart, a little unwilling, for Zhen Xiang, who was smiling and gloating all day long, Xun Yu had an urge to use the soles of his feet to get close to his cheeks.
Xun Yu's family is not very rich, not everyone in the family is wealthy, the family is only helping each other to a certain extent, not both rich and poor, in fact, there are also struggles within the family, if you want to mix well in the family, one is naturally a father, and the other is to have a chance.
Xun Yu's father, Xun Sui, was timid, because he was afraid of the eunuch who could not be honored at that time, he asked Xun Yu to marry the daughter of Tang Heng, a regular servant, as his wife, so he could also know Xun Yu's status in the Xun family.
Now Xun Yu is still in the stage of studying, or just came out to mix in society, with a slight name but no real power and no status, as for the elder brother, although he served under Han Fu in Jizhou, he was just a peng, so the treatment enjoyed by Xun Yu's family in the clan was just not worrying about food and clothing.
So, when Xun Yu was busy running around the clan, Zhen Xiang quickly got closer to Xun Yu's family with his unpretentious personality.
For this military general who claimed to be Xun Yu's bodyguard, Xun Yu's family was still very wary at the beginning, of course, this had something to do with Xun Yu's explanation, but soon, Zhen Xiang's simple and simple character won the acceptance of Xun Yu's family, perhaps, Fang Zhiwen handed over this task to Zhen Xiang was originally this kind of plan.
Among them, Zhen Xiang is more temperamental is Xun Yu's third brother Xun Yan, Xun Yan is cool, and he is most unaccustomed to the things of the flies and dogs, so he is not very concerned about the things in the clan, and he is dedicated to reading and farming.
So Xun Yan also began to think about where to move his family, compared to his younger brother who went to Yangzhai to study at a young age, and then went to the capital to study, Xun Yan knew more about the specific things in the clan, and naturally knew that the clansmen would not be moved by his younger brother to move. It's just that when he saw that his younger brother was so enthusiastic and positive, he didn't dampen his brother's enthusiasm, so Xun Yu went to be busy by himself, while he himself began to collect news and seriously consider his family's way out in the future.
In the eyes of the smart Xun Yan, Zhen Xiang's nature is too easy to see through, and Zhen Xiang's character is indeed easy to resonate with Xun Yan, when he understood Zhen Xiang's identity and purpose, Xun Yan asked Zhen Xiang very seriously about Miyun.
Xun Yan is very smart, and his questioning skills are enough, and he quickly got the situation of Miyun from Zhen Xiang's mouth, and then corroborated with the information he obtained, Xun Yan was more inclined to go to Miyun than to Yecheng, where the fourth brother was.
The reason lies in several aspects, on the one hand, the security of Miyun seems to be stronger, although the climate of Miyun seems to be colder, but this is not important, after Miyun built the city, except for the beginning of the battle with the Hu people, Miyun almost never encountered a war, and from the terrain around Miyun, Miyun of the second-tier city can be said to be impregnable, and now there is no opponent around Miyun, Liu Yu and Fang Zhiwen's strength comparison gap is very large, and now Fang Zhiwen has won Yuyang again, Miyun has become a hinterland, and the security is absolutely guaranteed.
On the other hand, Miyun's policy is very suitable for outsiders to relocate, Miyun has no stubborn local forces to suppress it, one is due to Miyun's policy, and the other reason is that Miyun is an emerging force, plus Miyun has measures to settle down for those who move away, which is very important for the Xun Yan family, who is not very wealthy.
The most important point is that Fang Zhiwen can send his own pro-army commander, or his brother-in-law to personally come to Xun Yu as a guard, it is conceivable that Fang Zhiwen values Xun Yu, from Zhen Xiang's mouth, Xun Yan heard the deeds of Tian Feng, Cui Lin and others, and naturally understood Fang Zhiwen's thoughts about Xun Yu, with the attention of the Lord, Xun Yu is likely to soar into the sky in Miyun, then the Xun family will naturally become Miyun's family, which is definitely better than Xun Zhan, who is immortal and alive under Han Fu.
If you can look at the problem from the perspective of development, you will find that compared with Fang Zhiwen, Han Fu actually has many shortcomings, Fang Zhiwen built a family from scratch, created a huge power group out of thin air, and was almost invincible in Youzhou, and Han Fu was just a defender, not to mention that he was still facing enemies on all sides, so without Xun Yu knowingly, Xun Yan had fallen to Miyun.
As soon as Xun Yan fell to Miyun, the atmosphere in Xun Yu's house immediately turned slowly, Zhen Xiang also became popular in Xun Yu's house, Xun Yan's son Xun Shao followed Zhen Xiang all day long after studying, riding a horse and opening a bow seemed to want to cultivate both civil and military.
When Xun Yu was finally disappointed to get the family's decision to scatter things, he returned home lonely and was ready to discuss with his family what to do, only to be shocked to realize that his relatives at home had been bought by Zhen Xiang unconsciously.
Fang Zhiwen saw through Xun's disunity, and now he was played by Zhen Xiang, who he thought was a tendon, for no reason, Xun Yu was really depressed, this story taught Xun Yu that he couldn't underestimate anyone, otherwise he would suffer a loss, a big loss!
So, Xun Yu, who has been jumping up and down for a period of time, has to obey the final decision of all family members, even his own son, who is only more than a year old, likes Zhen Xiang, and shouts to go to Miyun with Zhen Xiang and go sledding to build a snowman, Xun Yu had to pack his luggage honestly, and under the escort of Zhen Xiang, he went all the way south, boarded the ship from Huainan, flowed all the way east to the sea, and then changed to a larger sea ship, and arrived at Tangshan Port under the escort of a fairly large naval fleet.
After changing into a carriage, I arrived at Miyun all the way, and sure enough, as Zhen Xiang said, Miyun is a prosperous and vibrant place.
After settling down, the two brothers Xun Yan and Xun Yu began their own investigation trips, starting from Xilin Xue Palace, all the way to Zhengxiang Xue Palace, from Lin Xicheng to Qinghekou Port, the two brothers carefully turned over the foundation of Miyun, and also had a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the rumored Miyun system.
At the beginning of April, the two brothers who had been running around in Youzhou returned to Miyun City, and when they got the news that the two Xun Yu brothers had returned home, Fang Zhiwen immediately came to visit, and now Fang Zhiwen's territory is big again, and there are just Xun brothers who sent them to the door.
Xun Yan is also a Yingyin talent praised by Kong Rong, Fang Zhiwen naturally knows, this visit, Fang Zhiwen made up his mind to recruit the two brothers together, and even the official position Fang Zhiwen has already thought about it.
Looking at the husband who was smirking on the side,! ~!
