Xuchang - Sikong Fu

After reading the letter sent by Han Sui, everyone did not hear the joy of the Xiongnu's retreat, but their expressions were solemn and they frowned.

After a long time, Cheng Yu was the first to speak, and said with a solemn expression: "Lord Sikong, it seems that the situation in Liangzhou is far from being as simple as imagined. ”

"Yes, Han Sui disappeared for many years, but at this moment he suddenly appeared, and the mysterious Huns appeared and disappeared, all this seems to be a coincidence, but in fact it can't stand scrutiny, the only possibility is that Han Sui has taken refuge in the Huns!" Full Favor agreed.

"That's what I said, but there is no evidence, after all, the outside is vast, once dispersed, we will have no way to find that mysterious army, as long as there is no whereabouts of them, neither we nor King Hongnong have a reason to send troops to Liangzhou." Dong Zhao frowned and said.

"Why don't you go and ask the kitchen spring?"

"No!" Xun You and Cheng Yu said in unison, the two glanced at each other, and Xun You said: "The situation in Xiliang is treacherous and difficult to distinguish, like a quagmire, once it is involved, it may be difficult to get out!" And the war between Sikong and Yuan Shao is about to break out, and it is very unwise to get involved rashly at this moment! ”

After listening to Xun You's words, Cao Cao shook his head.

"Gongda said this, I don't agree! Whether it is me and Ben Chu (Yuan Shao's character), or King Hongnong or even Sun Ce, no matter who wins or loses, it is an internal dispute between my Han Dynasty, but when it comes to foreign races, it is not compromising at all! ”

Seeing that Cao Cao had made up his mind, everyone did not stop him.

"Bo Ning (full of favorites), you send someone to keep an eye on Hu Chuquan's every move, don't take it lightly. Gongda (Xun Yu's word), you still need to go to Hanzhong in person and negotiate with Pang Shiyuan on how to deal with Liangzhou. If possible... Goodbye King Hongnong, and tell him... I, Cao Cao, will always be a courtier of the Han Dynasty..."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, Cao Cao's words can be said to have multiple meanings, but... Isn't that a compromise?

"Sikong's bottom line for Liangzhou is..."Xun Yu asked tentatively.

"Anyway... My Han territory cannot fall into the hands of the Huns! If King Hongnong wants to take it, in order to show his sincerity, he will take Liangzhou on the day King Hongnong, and he is willing to give up Luoyang and withdraw from the Tiger Prison! ”

...

Early in the morning of the second day, Xun You set off under the escort of Li Dian and others, Xun You knew the purpose of this trip, Liangzhou was only one aspect, the reason why Cao Cao would let him go this in person, although he did not say it explicitly, but Xun You knew that in the face of foreign watching, Cao Cao also wanted to calm down the situation in the Central Plains as soon as possible! As he said, whether it is him, Yuan Shao or King Hongnong, as long as they can be unified, then the foreign tribes will not have any chance!

Originally, if you go to Hanzhong, it only takes five days to travel, but Xun You walked very slowly, he did not choose to come to Hanzhong directly, but planned to set Wudu as the first stop, and then Longxi and even Jincheng County had to take a walk.

Whether it is Xun You or Li Dian, although they are all important ministers under Cao Cao, and they have also heard of some deeds under the rule of King Hongnong, there is a world of difference between hearing them and seeing them with their own eyes.

The first thing that the group came to was He Si'an's birthplace, Wudu!

As the people entered this fortified city together, looking at the people in a hurry around them, the cries of all walks of life came and went, and the bustling streets were full of traffic.

"Lord Xun... This... Is this true? ”

Li Dian seemed to ask, as if muttering to himself.

"It's the first time for a few adults to come to my Wudu, right? Do you need a tour guide? Rest assured, adults, look? I'm a professionally trained and certified tour guide, so you can rest assured! Out of nowhere, a child who looked twelve or thirteen years old appeared, and while speaking, he also showed Xun You a sign hanging around his neck.

Xun You was amused in his heart, but this kid came just right, he came to inquire about the situation, so he naturally readily agreed.

Soon, the group began to visit Wudu under the leadership of the child.

"My lord, don't you know, in the past, our tour guides here were graded, but now they are still canceled!"

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Hey, the most expensive tourists can go to our Hongnong Wang his old man's home to incense, in order to protect the peace of the house, I didn't expect that in just a few months, the house is all around, the front yard is full of incense, get the Hongnong Wang he old man back can not get down, there is a home is difficult to return, have to go to the guest house!"

Hearing this, everyone also laughed.

At this time, Xun You was attracted by a jade shop and stopped to watch.

Seeing that a customer came to the door, a chubby middle-aged man walked out of the store, greeting everyone in broken Chinese, and when he turned around, he saw the young man who led the team, smiling and joking.

"Yo, little lock, your mother has become the factory director, and you are not short of money, why do you still lead a group?"

"What's the matter, who can have more money?"

"Yo, do you have a crush on a girl who wants to earn money to buy gifts for others?"

"Go, go, my master's birthday is coming soon, don't I want to save money to buy a gift for his old man?"

"Oh? Master Wen or Master Wu? ”

"Master Wu!"

The two chatted with each other, but Xun Yu on the side listened to it. After selecting a few pieces of jade and paying for it, the young man, known as Little Lock, said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't underestimate the fat man just now, he was the prince of Shule Country among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions!" ”

"Oh? The prince of a country is willing to come to Wudu to be a shopkeeper? Xun Yu asked in surprise.

"Of course, his father is still one of the elders of the Western Regions Protectorate, just like I said just now, who can be disgusted with more money?"

"Haha, what the little brother said is, by the way, I just heard you say what happened to Master Wen and Master Wu?"

"Naturally, I am two teachers who study literature and martial arts, and I am not afraid of the jokes of adults, the younger one followed his mother to live here, fortunately he was taken in by King Hongnong, and his mother went to the loom factory as a female worker, and I entered the Salesian Division by King Hongnong and his old man to pay for us children to study and learn martial arts."

"That's... Are there many kids like you? Xun You asked, his voice trembling slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"It's this kind of child who is both civil and military..."

"How can this be more?"

Hearing the other party's answer, Xun You just breathed a sigh of relief, but listened to the other party continue: "Because our academy has too many subjects, such as martial arts, medicine, agriculture, gewu, etc., so there are less than two percent of those who study martial arts like me!" In addition, what the adults said is not accurate, how can there be children who can't read and write on our side, writing and literacy are the foundation, even those aliens in the Western Regions are like this! ”
