Chapter Ninety-Seven: Need to Follow the Trend, Where Is the Trend?

"Do you really have a plan?" Cao Cao's heart chuckled.

This attitude is very calm and elegant, and I feel that there may really be a way.

Xu Zhen has always been unfathomable, not too public, no matter what is good or bad, his emotions are quite restrained.

It's just that sometimes his thoughts are more jumpy, so it is rumored that he has a poisonous mouth and chokes people.

In fact, it should be a manifestation of wisdom, after all, he is not choked by everyone, as long as the relationship is good.

Know how to be in a sense of proportion.

"Yes," Xu Zhen nodded, stretched out his hand and put it on the top of Cao Jie's head, and said softly: "Jie'er, you go to eat on time first, and then go to the inner courtyard to read an hourly book, and I will tell you a story next time." ”

"Ah," Cao Jie's swollen face trembled, his eyes drooped, and he should be weighing it in his heart.

In the end, he slapped Xu Zhen on the stomach and ran away at once, "Then I won't listen!" ”

Little Nizi, the preaching failed.

Xu Zhen pursed his lips and stood outside with Cao Cao, not entering the middle hall.

"Jia Wenhe was at my place, and after his son and brother were arrested, they brought it back."

"This person was killed because he was worried about being angry with the lord and avenged Wancheng, so he didn't dare to come to see him, he had a good relationship with Zhang Xiu and was deeply relied on by him."

"The lord can go and see him, and ask him to write a letter to Zhang Xiu, so that he may have the right to surrender again."

Cao Cao's heart was relieved, and he couldn't help but look at Xu Zhen deeply, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Why, why don't you ask him to write a letter in person, and make this great contribution." ”

Xu Zhen bowed and bowed, bowed slightly, looked quite sincere, and said calmly: "The lord has been in Wancheng since the feathers, and the lord should take it again." ”

"How can I get this merit if I lose it, how can I take this merit?" Xu Zhen's expression was sincere, and he looked at Cao Cao, and said: "If I secretly ask Jia Xu to write a letter and send it to Wancheng to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender, then I can show my reputation and make meritorious achievements." ”

"But what use do I take of such merits? Doesn't it show that the Lord is defeated and I can conquer it? But this is not the case and it is not, so why bother with telling the truth,"

"I can also distinguish between the people below, the merits that are not my duty, I must not ask for it, coupled with the friendship with the lord, I will plan for the lord, please go to see Jia Xu, and order him to take Wancheng back, one to strengthen the prestige of our army, and the other to show Zhang Xiu the broad-mindedness of the lord."

"In this way, the matter of Wancheng is no longer a matter of shame to promote, but a banner that can make the name of the lord's love and talent spread all over the world, so that I don't know how many talented people will come to join again, and the princes of the world will not sigh, even if it is a bad thing, it will become a good thing."

"Everything in the world always benefits me, and this is not unreasonable."

This I, not Xu Zhen, means that everything that happens around someone is beneficial to that person, it seems to be a disaster, maybe there will be a big disaster if there is no small disaster.

If you think about it in this way, you may find benefits in both defeat and victory, and sometimes you have to be optimistic.

Xu Zhen's words made Cao Cao laugh after pondering for a moment.

"Hmph," he smiled and glanced at Xu Zhen again, his eyes were extremely appreciative, "haha...... I was really impressed by Bowen. ”

"I only thought you were rigid before, but I didn't expect you to be able to do such a wise move," Cao Cao's side, there are many advisors who will not say such heart-wrenching words directly.

There are only three people, Xu Zhen, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhong.

If these three people have any thoughts in their hearts, whether they are said to be flattering or not, they will speak out.

And although Wen Ruo is also a confidant and adviser who is kind-hearted, but with the name of the scholar clan in his body, he will never tell Cao Cao what he thinks so straightforwardly.

It will be said in a vague way.

Not to mention this kind of thing about collecting Wancheng again, and specially to explain that Xun Yu would never do this kind of thing.

Cao Cao felt that he would just push Jia Xu to his side.

As for the rest of it, it's up to you to guess.

In contrast, these advisers who spoke freely and spoke freely, Cao Cao was more willing to have a heart-to-heart relationship with them.

"Okay, good......" Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh even more emotionally, benevolence, righteousness, and generosity to others are indeed a lot more comfortable.

It seems that those who have attained the Tao have a lot of help, and all the talented and aspiring people have gathered to respond, and there are warriors such as Dian Wei to rescue them in Wancheng, and there are such wise people in the court to discuss.

"Thank you, Berwen."

"Lord, this is where the duty lies, there is no need to say thank you, if you really don't want to go in your heart, then Ning'er-"

"Stop! I, think about it. ”

"Tsk, pity." Xu Zhen narrowed his eyes and shook his head with a wry smile.

Cao Cao's face twitched, and he immediately regretted it in his heart.

In the past, he only thought about Bowen defiling himself to protect his reputation, but now it seems to have opened a portal in his heart.

It's out of control.

I knew that I would have let him maintain a reputation of not liking anything!

If you are guilty of great evil! I shouldn't have known the nature of this boy!

"Eat!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath, opened his mouth heavily, and took the lead in taking a step, but his heart was still warm, and Xu Zhen's move gave him an answer to something.

……

"Ahh

At night, when the cool breeze of late autumn came, Xun Yu knelt and sat in the courtyard of his home, sorting out the official affairs in front of him and reading the current military situation.

At this time, he only wore a gray robe on his body, and he was quite tired.

And before him, sitting was his nephew Xun You.

At this time, he handed over a cup of hot tea, pushed it in front of Xun Yu, and said respectfully: "Uncle, I am too tired today, it is better to rest early." ”

"Sigh all night, don't slack off, the situation of Xu Du is not clear yet, Gongda can understand my worries now?"

"The little nephew understands," Xun You's face was serious, his hands were flat in front of him, and he said leisurely: "Yu Zhongliu is the mainstay, and he should be affected by the wind and waves." ”

"Uncle has chosen this road, it is naturally difficult to let go, my Xun family has a hundred years of reputation, hundreds of years of wind and rain in the Han Dynasty, and the words of the ancestors are extremely heavy, so heavy that you and I can't afford this plan."

Xun You sighed, stretched out his hand and stroked the old low-legged table in front of him, quite emotional.

This sentence made Xun Yu couldn't help but be moved.

On top of the case, there is the reputation of family justice, the dignity of scholars, the loyalty to Cao Cao, and the original intention of the original cause.

There are so many things, it's not just a plan.

They really can't lift it up, and they can't put it down.

It's heavy.

"What my uncle fears is not the change of the lord, but the fact that they persecute the lord until he changes."

"Sooner or later, there will be such a day," Xun Yu said to himself, looking up to the sky and sighing.

Although he has just arrived in Xudu to settle down, the battle of Wancheng has already begun to take shape.

When the first military information came, it was said that Sikong was defeated by Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, and as soon as the news arrived, it immediately caused huge ripples in Xu Du.

Just Xun Yu's secretly stable people, there are three places.

Taiwei Yang Biao, Xu Duwei Sima Fang and others suddenly moved, and the rest of the captains, captains and other leaders in various places, if it weren't for Cao Ren to suppress here, I'm afraid there would be chaos.

"Originally, my uncle would also go to Wancheng, but Sikong took it lightly and did not pay attention to Zhang Xiu and others, and only brought a few military generals with him to encounter this difficulty.

Xun Youren didn't go, but he was well versed in the art of war, so he could probably guess Cao Cao's thoughts when he used his troops, and he also understood the strategic significance of Zhang Xiu's occupation in Wancheng.

You can probably infer the situation at that time, but after coming back, after hearing the wind commentary, it was immediately clear that it was indeed easy to go down, and Wancheng would fall.

But it seems that because the lord forcibly accepted Zhang Xiuzhi's aunt, he rebelled.

This matter, everyone is secretive, no one knows more, but the family of scholars, such as the Fu family and Dong Cheng and other mansions, there are still voices of drumming and blowing sheng to entertain guests.

This kind of situation has been revealed, these people can be overjoyed when they see the defeat of Sikong, but they feel that there is something to be expected in the future.

"Gongda, don't say these things outside."

Xun Yu put down the book in his hand and looked at Xun Yu seriously.

"The little nephew knows, and the uncle can rest assured."

"There are several people who have come to inquire about me, saying that they want to hear about the current situation of soldiers and horses, care about Sikong thoughts, and care about the morale of my Han soldiers and horses."

"There are also people who angrily reprimanded Zhang Xiu repeatedly, and when they sent heavy troops and horses to step on Wancheng again, they would crush their bones and scatter ashes."

"In short, there is turmoil, and many inquiries are made, just to achieve their own goals after this war."

After hearing this, Xun Yu was silent.

However, there was no answer.

Of course, he knows that his little nephew is not only proficient in the art of war and good at using tactics, but also has the wisdom to understand people, understand the general situation, and know the motives of people's hearts.

So I can weigh the left and right, and I don't move.

These things don't need to be reminded too much, he naturally knows how to deal with them.

It's just that Xun Yu is even more worried in his heart.

As a result, the relationship between the relatives and scholars of the Baohan and Han parties, as well as many generals and captains, will become worse and worse.

In Xun Yu's opinion, the current Sikong has not considered any transgressive behavior to the Han family, and that is because the Son of Heaven still respects him very much.

If this patience is gone, in the future in Xudu, it will only be more bloody.

And it is definitely different from Li Dao, Guo Yan, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun.

That will make it impossible for the Son of Heaven to turn over, the lord is not a Liangzhou person who is good at martial arts and does not use tactics well, if he really wants to do it, he will definitely be able to gradually encroach on the power of the entire Xu Capital within a few years.

Including Dong Cheng and others.

And Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others, who have been guarding the Son of Heaven for many years, fighting with many heroes and fierce generals, are not ordinary people.

Who can clearly discern the road ahead?

And Xun Yu, what he is really worried about at this time is what he should do if that day comes?

Bing Qing Yu Jie Xun Wenruo.

So far in this life, from the place where he started his business to now welcome the Son of Heaven in Xudu, he has never had the slightest stigma, he has been fair, clean and honest all his life, and has recommended countless talents to various places as officials, most of whom are good reviews and fair people.

If he is allowed to ......

"Tsk," Xun Yu snorted, his mind gradually calmed down, and he immediately smiled at Xun You: "Gongda, this matter doesn't need to be considered at this time. ”

"If everything had changed then, it would have been time to think about the way forward."

Xun You only smiled bitterly, uncle's words are very clear, you shouldn't think about it now, you have to wait until you grow stronger, but if it was in the past.

Uncle can also check the integrity of officials, and he is the chief minister with Sikong, but now he is a Han national, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, for the reputation of the Xun family, even if it is bumpy, he has to go to that step.

When you get to that point, you can make a choice.

Invisibly, Xun You was also bitterly dazed in his heart.

Because he couldn't tell how much his uncle had done for the Han family and how much he had done for the Cao family, this loyalty was really embarrassing for him.

For the sake of the monarch, he is honest and honest.

"Just ......"

Xun You twisted his beard and smiled, and changed the topic, "It's just that I don't know now, what can I do to suppress this matter." ”

"The defeat of Wancheng is not the undefeated feats of soldiers and horses, but the majesty of the commonplace, which also makes these Han scholars and doctors have a little more thoughts in their hearts."

"If you don't suppress it, how can you stand up for prestige?"

Xun Yu immediately said: "Let's talk more." ”

"It's an eventful time, if this year's New Year can be pressed, Sikong will inevitably go south next year."

"The place where Zhang Xiu is located is not long, and it can be lowered again."

Xun You nodded slightly.

Uncle's words are not unreasonable, although Zhang Xiu is also a prince, but there are too few soldiers and horses, and they will not be tolerated by Liu Biao, and the relationship between the two is just to use each other.

At this time, Yuan Shao was busy fighting with Gongsun Zhan, and he wanted to take Youzhou, and it is estimated that he would not have time to go to the south to win over Wancheng.

Xun You said with a smile: "Now on the side, there are still worries about Yuan Shu, Liu Biao is in Jingzhou, there is Wancheng Zhang Xiu here, and there are also foreign princes and generals fighting. ”

"You can be attacked on all sides, and in comparison, Zhang Xiu is the easiest."

When Xun You said this, he laughed directly, "Uncle is humble and doesn't know how to fight on weekdays, and it seems that if my uncle is a military advisor, he can also establish a lot of meritorious deeds." ”

Xun Yu smiled indifferently, the engraved pen in his hand suddenly stopped, blew away the ashes on the bamboo slip, rolled it and put it in Xun Yu's hand, and said: "This book slip is sent to Sikong Mansion, and in this bamboo slip, it is written my opinion on the opening of the school house, please keep it in the library." ”

"Can the little nephew ask my uncle's opinion?"

"Go with the flow," Xun Yu looked at him deeply.

For Xun You, this is not a dumb mystery.

During this period of time, they have already known the hearts of many scholars, and everyone's thoughts are almost within these four words, taking advantage of the trend.

Once the trend is followed, the school office can be opened.

If the army is defeated, what can be done? It will inevitably be revolted by the scholars and doctors.

If you want to open a school office, you must gain momentum again, whether it is military prestige or political prestige, but you can't use the method of forcible killing, if so, you will inevitably become the next Dong Zhuo and be attacked by outsiders.

"There's Lagongda."

"It's an honor," Xun You bowed slightly, holding the bamboo slip in his hand, "Take advantage of the situation, I seem to really understand what my uncle means." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Xun Yu nodded slightly, no longer spoken, and continued to sit on the desk to read the official business, review the submission, and see everything in great detail.

And the so-called homeopathy.

In fact, it is not only the inner part, but the outer princes.

If the Son of Heaven can be welcomed, then he can be ordered not to submit.

If Cao Cao once the name of coercing the Son of Heaven is spread, in fact, it also gives the princes abroad a reason to send troops, which should also be paid attention to.

The so-called homeopathy is like this.

If the school office is forcibly established, it will inevitably be affected, but if the merit is enough and the prestige is enough, no one will dare to disobey the establishment again.

Therefore, this time is the most important.

After the defeat, the situation was turbulent, and the more it was at this time, the more it could not be established.

Even to be more and more respectful to the Son of Heaven, unless you can make more meritorious deeds.

"Uncle is really intelligent, and he is wise."

"Not necessarily," Xun Yu shook his head modestly, "Maybe Fengxiao, Zhicai, and Bowen also knew their reasoning, and they would each admonish." ”

If Sikong wants to ask, he must ask them one by one, and he will not let us argue in court.

He just had to know what he knew.

"Yes."

Xun You chuckled in his heart, his thoughts became a little lively, and he had a hunch that he went to deliver this book, and I am afraid that Sikong will also ask about it.

Around nine o'clock, around ten o'clock, and one chapter each
