In Xun Yuxian's prisoner match, Liu Yu of the guest soldier plain is a very important part of it.

The first one is political.

Since you Cao Cao want to support the Han family and rebuild the republic, instead of reforming the old and making the new, then you need a Liu clan as a banner, so that it makes sense.

In the land of Qingzhou, there are many kings surnamed Liu, for example, next to Cao Cao is the king of Jinan.

But none of these can satisfy Cao Cao, and Liu Yu is different, he is a famous elder in the clan, and he has also done Zongzheng, and he is already highly respected.

And more importantly, Liu Yu also has an elite army of 10,000 people under his command, and the elite of its infantry and cavalry is incomparable to Cao Cao.

At this time, uniting more powerful allies is undoubtedly the most correct choice at this stage.

Therefore, Cao Cao asked Chen Qun to send an envoy to Pingyuan to convey that he wanted to form an alliance with Liu Yu and promote Liu Yu as the leader of the alliance.

Chen Qun was recommended by Xun Yu, and the relationship between the two of them is the best in the general relationship. When both of them were young, the elders of both sides hugged them and got to know each other together.

Two months ago, Chen Qun received a letter from Xun Yu inviting him to go to Jinan.

At that time, Chen Qun was following his father Chen Ji to organize the clan to move back to Xuchang. This is also what most of the wealthy families are doing after the Yingchuan Rebellion.

After all, the war is over, and they have to return to their original homeland, where their ancestors' tombs and inheritances are located.

At that time, Chen Qun had persuaded his father to let him move to Xuzhou with his clan. Chen Qun believes that Yingchuan is a place of four wars, and the world of peace is naturally in all directions, but in times of chaos, it is a place where soldiers must fight. If the clan remains in Xuchang, it will inevitably suffer from military disasters.

At that time, among the scholars and doctors, it was generally believed that Xuzhou was a place to avoid chaos.

At that time, the people of Xuzhou were prosperous, the valley was abundant, and many homeless people returned to it. The celebrities and scholars of the surrounding counties have moved to Xuzhou, for example, Zheng Xuan, a famous scholar in Qingzhou, took his clan south to Xuzhou, and was allocated land by Tao Qian to resettle.

Therefore, after analyzing the situation, Chen Qun suggested that his father go east to Xuzhou to avoid the war.

But his father Chen Ji shook his head, and he asked rhetorically:

"If the world is in turmoil, how can it be spared? Go east to Xuzhou, not to mention that people leave their hometowns, can Xuzhou survive alone in troubled times? Moreover, there are ancestral tombs, family counties, and old in-laws here. Here, we are called Chen. As for the way to protect oneself from war, it is not to avoid it, but to welcome the hero. Do you know the truth behind this? “

Chen Qun was respectfully taught.

It was also in this context that Chen Qun received Xun Yu's letter.

For this friend who has been away for more than three years, Chen Qun still misses him very much. Over the years, the correspondence between the two has not been broken.

He knew that Xun Yu was in prison, although Xun Yu told him that it was his own choice. But Chen Qun was still not very relieved.

I always felt that my friend would rather live in prison than get out, because he wanted to atone for his father's death.

But after Chen Qun read the content of the letter this time, he finally determined that the career of the temple supervisor did not destroy the will of his friends, but made him look at the world more often.

In the letter, his friend said that he had found a hero who could calm the troubled times, and hoped that Chen Qun would come to Jinan to help him.

Chen Qun, who received the letter, began to pack his bags without hesitation, and when he said goodbye to his father:

"My lord, I'm going to Jinan, and Wen Ruo said that he found a hero who can calm this troubled world."

Chen Ji was silent, and the first sentence he spoke:

"Do you know who Cao Cao, the prime minister of Jinan, is?"

Chen Qun bowed his head, and he explained:

"After Cao Mengde was castrated, my generation was not ashamed. But the letter is written. If Wen Ruodu thinks that Cao Mengde has the ability to calm this troubled world, then it must be. ”

In the end, Chen Ji let Chen Qun go in the end.

Like Chen Qun, there are five other people. After receiving Xun Yu's letter, each of them did not hesitate and decided to go to Jinan.

You must know that children of famous families such as them are generally born locally in order to protect the safety of their families.

For example, Chen Qun wants to be a leader, either in Yingchuan, or he will go to Wang Yun's side. If you don't like these two sides, you can also choose to continue to raise hope at home.

It is very rare to choose to leave home and go out of state, because it is very easy to cause trouble for the family.

But Chen Qun and the other six still went, and the reason was not complicated, because they believed in Xun Yu.

And when Chen Qun, Xi Zhicai and others came to Dongpingling after trekking through mountains and rivers, Cao Cao immediately entrusted these people with important tasks.

For example, as soon as Chen Qun came, he was entrusted by Cao Cao with the task of envoy Liu Yu, and Cao Cao had only seen Chen Qun at that time.

On the one hand, at the banquet to welcome the Yingchuan people, one time was when Cao Cao was commissioned.

Do you say that Cao Cao knows that Chen Qun's ability is extraordinary? No, it's because Cao Cao trusts Xun Yu.

Whether it is Chen Qun, Xi Zhicai and others, or Cao Cao's trust in them, the trust of both parties is due to one person, that is, Xun Yu.

Because he didn't understand Chen Qun's ability, Cao Cao frowned when he heard that this time the matter was not going well:

"What's going on, Liu Yu is a person, I know, he shouldn't refuse to ally with me."

Xun Yu explained:

According to the news sent back by Chen Qun, the conversation went quite smoothly at the beginning. But when Liu Yu saw the eight words on the book, 'hegemony can be successful, and the Han family can be prosperous', he immediately asked: 'Whose Han family is this going to prosper'. ’”

Cao Cao's focus was not here, he asked Xun Yu rhetorically:

"Chen Changwen didn't come back?"

Xun Yu opened his mouth and said quietly:

"Changwen said that the alliance has not been settled, and he still has a chance."

At this time, Cao Cao nodded, which could be regarded as a recognition of Chen Qun's attitude.

Lao Cao is not a person who is in a hurry for success, and after explaining the task, he has to give the result immediately to his subordinates. Whether things are done well or not is a factor in it, but you must have an attitude towards doing things.

If you encounter a problem, you Chen Qun will come back, is that a solid work?

But still, Chen Qun did not disappoint him.

So, Cao Cao asked Xun Yu to continue.

Xun Yu used his eloquence to explain the beginning and end of this matter very clearly.

Liu Yu also wanted to form an alliance with Cao Cao, but he was full of doubts about Cao Cao's political intentions. What did you Cao Cao say about supporting the Han family and achieving hegemony, what do you Cao Cao mean?

Does it mean that you, Cao Cao, want to assist Gaozu like Han Xin to support the Han family, or do you Cao Cao want to be the overlord? Or are you Cao Cao ambitious at all and want to be the master of the Han family yourself?

Or both, first to support the Han family as a call to strengthen the power and achieve hegemony. Then wait until the conditions are ripe, and you Cao Cao will have another Zen concession? Achieve your imperial cause?

Therefore, this is what Liu Yu asked on the spot: "Whose Han family is achieved." ".

Liu Yu, who asked this, was immediately full of vigilance against Cao Cao.

Because if what you want to achieve is Qi Huan's general hegemony, then you don't need to come to me Liu Yu. Because whether it is Xijing or Tokyo, there is an emperor on the throne.

And now you want me Liu Yu to be the leader of the alliance, and you want to push me to be the emperor, what does that mean?

It's you Cao Cao who wants me to be a puppet, pretend to realize your hegemony, and then find an opportunity to transform into the emperor yourself.

There is no doubt that although Liu Yu is kind, he is not stupid. He has been in the court for more than ten years, and he plays politics.

From this point of view, you Cao Cao is a fledgling kid, and you want to trick him?

And Chen Qun also knew the complexity of Liu Yu's problem, and he never dared to talk about it casually without confirming it with Cao Cao in detail.

Otherwise, it would be small to blow up the alliance, and if he was beaten into a chaotic minister and thief because of this, Cao Cao would be passive.

But the turning point came.

That night, Liu Yu's son Liu He secretly found Chen Qun, and after a series of conversations with Chen Qun, he knew that Cao Cao really wanted to serve Liu Yu as the leader of the alliance, pacify Qingxu, and then rebuild the republic with the power of Qingxu.

So Liu He, who had the bottom in his heart, went to his father by himself, and the meaning of his words was to let his father deal with this matter.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Liu Yu asked his son rhetorically at that time:

"Don't you want to serve the ancestors? Want to fight for the world? ”

Liu He's face turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't dare to say more.

Liu Yu didn't reprimand his son, so he asked:

"Do you think it is difficult for Shizu or Gaozu to win the world?"

Liu He thought for a while and replied in a low voice:

"I think it's still Gaozu, there was the overlord of Western Chu at that time. Sejo didn't have any rivals worth talking about. ”

Half relieved, half disappointed, Liu Yu sighed:

"Wrong. It is much more difficult for the ancestor to win the world than for the ancestor. Just because when Shizu went to Zhaoji, Hebei, there was already a Han Emperor in the world, that is, the first emperor. At that time, the ancestor and he already had the status of a monarch and a minister. And the reckless people in the world are all based on the Liu family. And when the Chang'an officials killed Wang Mang and passed on the head to the first emperor's capital, the hearts of the people in the world have returned to the beginning. ”

Seeing that his son still didn't understand, Liu Yu had already given up, and he said simply:

"The virtue of the Han family cares about the sky and should be about people. If Shizu, a person surnamed Liu, is against the change, then who in the world can't oppose it? Am I still the lord of the ordination? Therefore, even though the wisdom of the ancestors is higher than the beginning, they still dare not deviate. What kind of talent do you Liu He dare to commit it? ”

At this time, Liu He was already frightened by his father's momentum.

But he still did not admit defeat in his mouth, but said:

"They are all surnamed Liu, why don't you take my turn to sit in this world?"

At this time, Liu Yu didn't want to bother with this disobedient son anymore, so he scolded:

"Get out. You are not allowed to leave this house without my order. ”

After that, Liu Yu was so angry that he walked away, and Liu He was effectively imprisoned.

When Liu He and such lobbyists were dealt with by Liu Yu, Chen Qun judged that it was impossible to convince Liu Yu for the time being.

But why did Chen Qun judge that there was still a possibility of an alliance?

From Chen Qun's explanation, it turned out that Liu Yu's subordinate Wu was generally supportive of the alliance with Cao Cao. Although the reasons for support are even more different.

For example, the trial match, the Cui brothers, etc., are all Hebei factions and are eager to fight back to Hebei. Proceeding from the interests of the whole, they agreed to form an alliance with Cao Cao.

Jinan is located in the rear of the plain, in the case of a strong enemy in the north, once it has a bad relationship with Jinan, it will inevitably fall into the unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy.

And if you want to fight back to Hebei, it is impossible to rely on the strength of the plains alone. Only by forming an alliance to level Qingxu as Cao Cao said can it be possible to counterattack Hebei.

But why didn't this faction support Chen Qun when he was there? It turned out that they also had doubts about Cao Cao's follow-up strategy.

According to Cao Cao's plan, after they took Qingxu, they went west to fight back to Kyoto, and they were on the side of the king. But what the judge and others want is to fight north. So the two sides are contradictory.

In addition to judging this faction, generals such as Sun Jian and Gai Tong also supported an alliance with Cao Cao.

Sun Jian heard that he was going to fight south, wouldn't the more he fought, the closer he would get to his hometown? As a guest general of Qinghe, Sun Jian is fed up with being squeezed out by the Hebei people, and he still wants to return to his hometown in Wuzhong, whether it is to recruit troops or stay in the local area, it is better than now.

And what about Gai Tong? He is because he is an old friend of Cao Cao.

The two were Lang officials in the same year, and then they had similar interests, and they were both stingy with good wine. And although he took the Youzhou Raid, he was actually divided internally.

The consequences of Gongsun Zhan's killing of Xian Yufu before began to erupt, and his subordinates such as Gongsun Yue and others had already divided their troops with him.

Having lost half of his cavalry, he has less and less say in the Qinghe Group. Therefore, Gai Tong also hoped to form an alliance with Cao Cao at this time and introduce him as foreign aid.

Chen Qun inquired about all of the above.

After listening to these analyses, Cao Cao was a little impressed by Chen Qun.

It seems that this Chen Changwen still has something.

But things are still frozen here. Thinking of this, Cao Cao's skull hurt again.

originally thought that the alliance would come naturally, but I didn't expect that it would be Liu Yu who admitted death. Thinking that there were Pingqingzhou thieves behind him, dealing with Tao Qian's Xuzhou, Cao Cao was upset.

At this time, Xun Yu poured a bowl of tea for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, who drank the tea, was a little calm.

At this time, people shouted everywhere on the streets outside the county mansion:

"It's windy, everyone take shelter."

For a time, the gale started in Qingzhou, and it was going to be chaotic.

……

Naturally, the strong winds of the eastern country could not blow the grasslands of Xizhou.

But when Jinan was hit by a strong wind, a strong wind was brewing in the land of Xizhou and the land of Liangzhou.

No one would have predicted what kind of turmoil this strong wind would bring to the Kansai court.

Chengtian three years, March, Wuwei County, Hutu.

Xiutu is a county of Wuwei County. Because the nearby valley has abundant water and is located in an important channel for traffic between Mobei and Hexi corridors, this place has been the largest military tun area in Wuwei County since the opening of the Han Dynasty.

At its peak, there were 80,000 soldiers here, and it was the second largest reclamation area of the Han dynasty in Hexi after Juyan Tun Reclamation District.

There are as many as 20,000 hectares of tuntian area here, and it takes 1,000 tuntian soldiers to be dispatched at one time to clean the canal.

But unfortunately, the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind.

That was in the past, and at this time, the Hutu Tuntian District had shrunk a lot because of the Qiang rebellion. But it was the heroes of Wuwei who really made it decline.

The Duan, Yin, Suo and other big clans in the county took advantage of the Qiang people's rebellion and continued to encroach on the fields in the Xiutu Tuntian District.

Up to now, less than 3,000 hectares of the original more than 20,000 hectares of land are still in the hands of the descendants of the reclamation soldiers.

And today, these 3,000 hectares of land will not be saved.

And the gale is because of this.
