This generous statement was immediately praised and recognized by everyone, and the gossipy little female soldier stopped gossiping, only quietly pouted. There is no doubt that this group of female warriors is not much different from the male warriors of this era in terms of values, advocating loyalty and righteousness, and thinking that it is always right for the two armies to clash without personal feelings, so they do not despise Xun Chen, who "loves General Xiaolu and ruthlessly cuts off contact with her".

Lu Hangyu held a bowl of corn mixed with weeds and some raw rice, and watched a little sluggishly as the soldiers lifted the curtain, so the people waiting outside the tent rushed in.

A young scholar, dressed in mourning clothes, followed by a string of small babies, also dressed in linen and filial piety, the youngest one in the arms of the eldest baby, after coming in, bowed his head.

She felt her hair stand on end.

The young scholar's name is Xun Shao, and he is Xun Yu's nephew.

His eyes were red, and he told General Xiao Lu about some of the things that happened to Xun Yu after he returned to Juancheng, how he was framed by Xu You and Cheng Yu, how he was so heartbroken, and how he left these children alone. Xun You was in the army and couldn't come back, so Xun Chen sent him over to settle his group of little cousins and little cousins Yunyun.

…… When she heard this, her eyes turned red, and she quickly helped him up and comforted him a few words.

…… Then it's okay not to be comforted, and as soon as I comfort the little baby, I cry even more.

…… The big sensible ones cry first, and the small ones who don't know much come to cry together.

She comforted them one by one, and arranged for them to live well, and she didn't forget to send the two and five who looked more attentive to see the baby.

Then she calmed down.

A very weird question pops up.

Juancheng is very close to the Yellow River, especially close to Puyang, so after Xun Shao came to pick up Xun Yu's family, he didn't need to go around a big circle and then go north, he just returned to Jizhou directly in a line at two o'clock.

…… So what about him going through hardships and taking the babies around Shuize to Chen Liu to find her?

Regarding this issue, Xun Shao, who also calmed down, said this:

Although Uncle Xun Yu died, what he admired most during his lifetime was the general! Uncle Xun Chen took this into account and was unwilling to let these nephews grow up on Yuan Shao's territory in the future! If they want to go out, they should also follow Liu Yuanjun! Follow General Koroku! Although he is still young, there is an older nephew here who can barely use it! Don't see the general! Be sure to take them!

Although he didn't know that Xun Chen was a character of "being born as the Yuan family and dying as the ghost of the Yuan family" on the battlefield of Fancheng, Lu Hangyu was still silent for a long time. Until Sima Yi, who was full of food and strolled over, specially ran over to watch this scene, and let out a string of hehehehehesneer.

Chapter 457

There's nothing more outrageous in the world than stuffing a little baby on the front line.

Xun Shao is not desperate, he dragged a few children here by himself, if this is the case, not to mention whether those children will die on the road, he himself has already been eaten alive by bandits from all walks of life in Daze.

Xun Yan Xun Chen brought him a team of private soldiers, although there were only more than 100 people, but they were enough to deter. In addition to the healthy servants, they also brought coachmen, handymen, servants, etc., plus twenty or thirty horses, to form a small convoy, and were able to come to Chenliu.

But I didn't come here to seriously ask her to take the baby away from now on, coax the baby to sleep, tear the baby off the tree, wipe the baby's face, etc., this is just an attitude.

A very clear and strong hint that "Xun Yu trusts you, so we also trust you with him, so please reluctantly assume the guardianship of these babies". She doesn't need to raise them, but she needs to go over every once in a while, and she needs to be responsible for helping them hire a teacher, and she needs to worry about their social circle; And, one day in the future, when they are already grown, she still has certain rights and obligations to choose a spouse for them.

…… It's kind of a godfather.

The Xun family is a big family in Yingchuan, no matter the money, grain, land, and servants, although they are not as good as Xu You's popular fried chicken in Hebei, but they have already placed a family property in Jizhou, and the people are very prosperous, so there is no need to entrust the baby to her.

But Sima Yi told her that there were probably three benefits to doing so:

One is to brush Xun Yu's reputation for meeting bosom friends in the mountains and rivers, Xun Yu and her not only have no ambiguous personal affairs, but even the Chu River and Han borders belong to both sides, but for the sake of Yanzhou, they still abandon their previous suspicions...... Anyway, it's this kind of cliché, and the scholars can always find an angle when they want to boast, especially if Xun Yu is dead, the dead can always boast hard;

the second is to brush up on her reputation, the angle is the same, and you can add a good reputation for raising orphans;

The third is the most practical and direct purpose: the Xun family will always bet on several sides, but they have never bet on Liu Bei, and now they have taken the opportunity to send the baby, and they also stuffed a few people from the Yingchuan Xun family over. If Yuan Shao wins in the future, Xun Chen will still be the hero who charged for Ming Gong, and if Liu Bei wins, then there will be a string of little babies here who have firmly protected Lu Lian's thighs, and they will grow into young heroes in a few years.

"The first time I saw him," Lu Hangyu said depressedly, "I knew that he was a lack of virtue." ”

Sima Yi was a little surprised, "I heard that Xun Chen is a person with a very good city, when the general first saw him, what was the difference between his words and deeds?" ”

…… Cough.

Xun Chen looked at Fan Cheng's city defense map for a long time, and saw that the lights were flickering, the grease was dry, and the air was mixed with a greasy smell, mixed with the aroma of ice on his body.

He had conquered and renovated this city, so he knew very well the layout of it, where the city walls came from, where the grain and grass were, where the county government that could be used as a military tent was in which direction, and how far away from the city gate, he could clearly remember.

Therefore, it is very good for him to fight a decisive battle under the city, but it is better to drive them into the city, after all, during the decisive battle under the city, the crossbow of the Jiannu battalion can be loaded with ten crossbows at a time, which is a very troublesome problem for the soldiers, and when attacking the city, he has ladder carts covered with animal skins to hinder the crossbows, there are rushing carts to crash open the city gates, and catapults can be adjusted to a unified angle to smash everything he wants to smash.

He didn't have to kill Lu Bai on the battlefield, he thought, that would be a bit of a grudge.

When he thought of the word "Lu", Xun Chen naturally thought of another person.

The man came out of the darkness, but did not smile at him. She raised her chin arrogantly, her eyes widening.

She didn't have the gorgeous and dazzling armor of Ming Gong, only a half-worn fish-scale iron armor, and her hair was tied in a headband, scattered in two strands, fluttering slightly in the wind.

But her hand always held the hilt of the sword, holding the long sword that was more than four feet long and had a black scabbard, so her whole person did not look like a person, but like a sword, awe-inspiring and sharp.

What about her facial features? Is she beautiful or ugly? He used to be so pleased with her, why can't he even remember what she looked like?

When he asked himself this in his mind, she seemed to finally look at him.

She asked him wordlessly: Xun Chen, what do you care about?

Some people care about the Han Dynasty, and some people care about establishing immortal fame, what about you? What do you want to do while fighting my allies in Cangtingjin and pretending to send Xun Yu's orphans here?

[Not how. He was in such a trance and slowly, but his thinking was unusually clear and he asked, "Have you ever been to Yingchuan?" 】

【…… Yingchuan? 】

[Yingchuan before the Yellow Turban, and Yingchuan after the massacre of Li Dao Guo Yan. 】

She seemed to be silent for a while, so he could continue to speak his heart slowly, what Yingchuan was like when he was young, and what Yingchuan was like later.

She and Kong Rong established the Beihai School Palace, it is said that there are Confucian hermits have gone there, gathered thousands of students, lively and extraordinary, very proud of the Beihai people.

But they had never seen Yingchuan.

There were many Confucian scholars there, which further attracted famous sages from the government and the opposition, who taught their own scriptures in Yingchuan, "claiming to be knowledgeable, disciples from far away, and thousands of people."

Some people learn the scriptures, some people are good at criminal law, some people govern history books, and some people write dictionaries - his ancestors also have such famous people, it is really a lively scene.

Then Li Dao and Guo Yan came, and they were ordered by Dong Zhuo to massacre the Shishu who had not moved away from Chen, Liu, Yingchuan, and Sichuan counties.

She had indeed seen it, she had seen the scholars with their faces down in the long grass, the horse bones that were gradually rotting on the side of the road, and she may have heard that the daughters of those scholars were looted by Li Guo's Xiliang army, some of them were casually rewarded for their soldiers, and some of them were particularly beautiful and outstanding, and they were used to worship Dong Gong's spirit in the sky.

But for Lu Lian, who is that?

She had never seen them, had not experienced their joys and sorrows, had not experienced their near-death fears and despair, and could not have imagined how such a large and leafy county could have died in a matter of days.

Xun Chen saw the fate of his hometown, so he couldn't forget it.

[You only saw a scholar who belonged to the same family as you,] she really didn't empathize with him, [but from Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital to Li Guo's attack on Chang'an, nearly a million commoners in Gyeonggi died, were killed, starved to death, froze to death, until they were cannibalistic. 】

"But you do see it," he insisted, "Look how quickly those gates are extinguished! 】

In troubled times, the princes attacked each other, and if one surname went further, more than 100 surnames fell into the quagmire!

How many of those exploits who followed Gaozu and Shizu to fight the world have been handed down, and how many have long since died and perished!

He was terrified by it.

He can't be afraid.

His brother was a man as pure as ice and as pure as jade, and he had admired such a noble and pure man.

But his brother is dead, and she's fighting to the death of his lord.

He stared at her vaguely described, as if he wanted to plead with her to find a way to give him the best of both worlds.

But even in such a half-asleep dream, the thought was only fleeting.

The last trace of trance and softness that belonged to the dream dissipated like a moonside cloud, and he became firm again.

[I have to find a way out for the Xun clan,] he was finally forced to say what was in his heart, [Even if the dynasty changes, my clan should also stand here!] 】

At that moment, Lu Hangyu's face suddenly became clear!

The pale and pale, but extremely cold face showed murderous intent.

She should have said a few more words to him, and at this rare moment, how good would it be to say a few words of light and fluttering that have nothing to do with war and world affairs, and how good it would be to have some residual warmth?

But she didn't say a word.

She's just stepping forward.

When she took that step, the long sword at her waist had already been pulled out by her, and with the lightning light that pierced through the heavens and the earth, it slashed at him!

Xun Chen woke up suddenly.

When he picked up the brush, he found that the ink had dried up, so he dipped it in the inkstone again.

When the brush was refilled, the confusion and pain that the young scribe had just woken up from his dream were completely gone.

Yuan Benchu was a very good lord, with a majestic appearance, and could win the hearts of the people with generosity;

Cao Mengde is also a very good lord, although he is a little suspicious, but he is good at using soldiers and generals, and his wisdom is extraordinary;

Liu Bei is naturally also a good lord, although he comes from a humble background, he is generous, and he is good at using people, Hongya has faithfulness;

For Xun Chen, they are all very good.

They're all the same.

Xun Chen first wrote a letter to his cousin Xun Yue, who was living in seclusion, originally he wanted to ask this cousin to go to Lu Lian's army, but after thinking about it, he still gave up.

…… This cousin was quiet, beautiful, and quite accomplished in scriptures, and was a learned man who read poetry and books, and should be respected wherever he went.

…… But when you go to Lu Lian, it's not good.

…… It's better to ask him to go to Xiapi.

…… With his brother's talents, he can still get a lot of attention from Liu Bei.

After writing the letter, he put it aside, waited for the silk to dry, picked up his pen again, and began to sketch the layout of Fan Cheng intently.

He needed to storm the city of Van as soon as possible, so he ordered not only to attack the city tomorrow, but also to bring many craftsmen from the rear to prepare them to adjust the siege equipment.

A servant crept in and brought him a pot of hot tea.

Lang Jun was still concentrating and working hard, but he seemed to be in good shape, neither tired nor worried.

As long as you look at Lang Jun's light and calm eyebrows, you can know that he didn't even have a dream when he took that nap just now.

Chapter 458

The third day of the siege.
