The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The person who was furious was Xun Zhen.

When Xun Zhen heard the news, she put down the military and political affairs she was busy with, and did not need the chief clerk Chen Yi to draft for him. Due to the anger, the writing is somewhat sloppy. After finishing writing, Xun Zhen took this letter and put it on the table, got out of the General's Mansion, went to the palace in person, and asked to see Liu Xie.

When Liu Xie was rewarded, Xun Zhen asked to see him, and immediately summoned him to the palace.

In the small hall dedicated to receiving courtiers, Xun Zhen saw Liu Xie and bowed down.

Liu Xie could already see from Xun Zhen's footsteps when he entered the gate of the palace just now that he seemed a little angry, so he got up, looked pleasant, and asked, "Mr. Xun, what's wrong with you? But what happened?"

Xun Zhen got up and raised her face.

Liu Xie saw that his face was full of anger, so he asked again: "Xun Gong, what's going on?"

Xun Zhen was furious, held the letter in his hands, and said to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, the ministers are in trouble! Please, Your Majesty, deal with the sins of the ministers."

Liu Xie said: "Ning Chen? Who is Ning Chen?"

Xun Zhen said, "Your Majesty, it is none other than that simmering!"

When Liu Xie heard it, he knew immediately, guessed the reason for Xun Zhen's anger, and said, "Your Excellency is angry, but because Duan Xun has written a letter today, is it a proposal to ask Bai Gong to be the general?"

Xun Zhen grieved and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has received the grace of the saints, and seeing the generals of chariots and cavalry, and the recorders of the book with the humble body and the slightest effort, it is like walking on thin ice and often fearful. , how can the minister dare to look at it? Your Majesty, Duan Xun wrote in this way, if it is a flattering minister, then it is also a servant! If it is not the case, then its meaning is unpredictable! Since the minister is bold, please Your Majesty to deal with Duan Xun's crime."

To be honest, when he received Duan Xun's letter and saw Duan Xun's proposal to worship Xun Zhen as the general, Liu Xie murmured in his heart. This general, in modern times, is above the three princes. As Xun Zhen said, it is really not just anyone who can take office. Xun Zhen said that he was always apprehensive about worshiping him as the general of the chariots. Duan Xun went to the table and asked Xun Zhen to be the general. His original intention was probably to flatter Xun Zhen. After all, he was a subdued general and his position was unstable.

At this time, seeing Xun Zhen so angry and listening to his words, Liu Xie felt relieved. The doubts that Duan Xun's letter that he had saved earlier came from Xun Zhen's instigation, he smiled and said to Xun Zhen. : "Duan Xun's discussion is also out of good intentions. He wants Duke Xun to take more responsibility for the court. Why should the Duke be angry?"

Xun Zhen said angrily: "Your Majesty, how can he be kind, he is clearly harboring evil intentions! Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask again, to deal with the crime of Duan Xun."

Liu Xie laughed and said, "Mr. Xun, you hide your evil intentions, where do you start?"

Xun Zhen hesitated.

Zhong Yao, Ding Chong, Yang Qi and other close officials followed Liu Xie to receive Xun Zhen, all in the hall.

Zhong Yao said: "Yao dared to guess, what Duke Xun called 'hidden evil intentions' means that the Duke did not have the hope of worshipping the generals, but Duan Xun put it on this list, because the Duke was worried that the officials and ministers in the court might have this effect. And misunderstood Yu Gong, thus criticizing Yu Gong?"

Xun Zhen did not answer.

But Liu Xie could see from his expression that Zhong Yao guessed right.

Liu Xie smiled and said, "Duke Xun! Dungeon Xun! The prince is a royal family with a heart. I know it, and so do the ministers and ministers of the Manchu dynasty. There is no need for you to worry about it."

Xun Zhen opened her mouth, but still demanded that Duan Xun be punished, and said, "Your Majesty, the wind of flattery cannot be opened. If Duan Xun is not punished now, why would you be a warning to the future?"

Seeing Xun Zhen insisting on the request, Zhong Yao said calmly: "Although Duan Xun's letter is flattering, it should be punished according to reason, but he is now in Huayin, to guard against the thieves in the gate for the imperial court, and before When Xun Gongqin was king, he had meritorious deeds for dedicating the city, so it seems appropriate to punish him severely. If he insists on punishing him, Your Majesty, in the ignorance of the minister, sent a decree and punished him.

"

Liu Xie nodded and asked Xun Zhen, "General, what do you mean by Zhong Yao?"

Xun Zhen also went down the ladder, no longer insisting on punishing Duan Xun, and said, "Thunder, thunder, rain, and dew, all are your kindness, and you will follow your majesty's wishes."

Liu Xiefu persuaded Xun Zhen, saying: "Duke Xun, anger hurts the liver, the lord is the minister of the society, and if you get sick because of it, you will inevitably lose the big because of it." After a pause, he smiled, "Then I really have to be severely punished. It's simmering!"

Xun Zhen leaned over and bowed again, and said, "This minister makes a mistake." After speaking, he adjusted his breath and handed the watch to Zhong Yao, who turned it over to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie opened it and saw that his words were basically the same as what Xun Zhen said, and Xun Zhen said in his ears: "Your Majesty, Duan Xun has invited a minister to be a general, and the minister is about to invite your majesty to worship one person as a general. ."

Liu Xie stopped to look at his watch, raised his face, looked at Xun Zhen, and asked, "Who do you want to invite to be the general?"

Xun Zhen said word by word, "I ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to worship Yuan Shao as a general."

After hearing this, Liu Xie's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Yuan Shao?"

Xun Zhen's anger had disappeared at this time. He glanced at Liu Xie's expression and said, "Your Majesty, is it a little surprising to hear that the minister has come to respect Yuan Shao as the general?"

Liu Xie was silent for a while, then said: "Xun Gong, I am not only surprised, but also deeply surprised. Why did Gong invite Yuan Shao to be the general at this time? But just a few days ago, not just There is news from Jizhou that Quyi was defeated by Gongsun Zan? If Duke Xun wanted to use his position as a general to appease Yuan Shao, so that he would not become an obstacle to the court's future crusade against Yuan Shu, now that Quyi has been defeated by Gongsun Zan, it seems that he will never again be defeated. It's a bit unnecessary to use such a noble position as a general as a means to appease Yuan Shao."

There are two layers of meaning in Liu Xie's words.

The first meaning is that Qu Yi was just defeated by Gongsun Zan.

The second meaning is that Xun Zhen planned to attack Yuan Shu, and before he attacked Yuan Shu, he had to appease Yuan Shao first. Liu Xie knew it.

——Indeed, Xun Zhen had already told Liu Xie about preparing to attack Yuan Shu and before he attacked Yuan Shu, he had to appease Yuan Shao in advance and so on. However, it was not Xun Zhen who took the initiative to talk about it, but Liu Xie took the initiative to ask Xun Zhen, and then Xun Zhen said it.

But he said, why did Liu Xie ask Xun Zhen about the crusade against Yuan Shu?

The reason is also very simple.

It is said that Liu Xie hated Li Jue and Guo Si deeply. Although Li Jue is dead, Guo Si is still alive. Yuan Shu, knowing that Guo Si hated Liu Xie deeply, still dared to take him in. The imperial court decreed that He sent Guo Si to the court, and he refused, so of course Liu Xie would regard Yuan Shu as a first-class rebel minister who did not submit to the court, and he had to go to Nanyang just to capture Guo Si.

Furthermore, Yuan Shu was summoned twice to see Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu made excuses for his foot problems, and he didn’t even bother to change his excuses. Liu Xie could not see that Yuan Shu’s two statements were actually full of insults towards him. contempt? After seeing the majesty of Xun Zhen's defeat of Li Jue and Guo Si, and seeing the excellent and good fighting of Xun Zhen's troops, Liu Xie is also very courageous now, so since you Yuan Shu dared to take Guo Si in, you won't send Guo Si to the court. In the middle, and so contemptuous of the emperor, how could Liu Xie not have the idea of ​​crusade against Yuan Shu!

Therefore, he took the initiative to ask Xun Zhen this question in private.

Xun Zhen's attitude towards Liu Xie now is that if she can tell Liu Xie, she will tell the truth, without concealing it or making any mystery, so when he asks about it, she tells him her plan.

The news that Qu Yi was defeated for Gongsun Zan had just reached Xu County, but this incident did not happen recently, but happened more than a month ago. After Gongsun Zan retreated to Yijing, several attacks failed to overcome him. Yan Rou and others returned to Yu County in Youzhou. Yuan Shao also transferred his main force back one after another, so there were only thousands of paces left of Quyi's headquarters on the front line. The cavalry, compared to the 100,000 cavalry of the coalition forces who first started this war with Gongsun Zan, has been greatly reduced, and with the return of the main force and horses, Yuan Shao's supply of rations to Qu Yi has gradually declined, so that for two months Before, Quyi's army ran out of rations, and his soldiers were starving.

He had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat, but Gongsun Zan seized the opportunity, took advantage of the situation, and defeated Qu Yi's troops in one fell swoop.

However, as Liu Xie said, if it was to win over and appease Yuan Shao so that he would not hinder Yuan Shu from attacking Yuan Shu, then if Yuan Shao gained an advantage on the Yijing battlefield, then he should be appointed with the honorable position of general as a general. It's understandable to be paralyzed, but now that Qu Yi was defeated by Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shao was defeated in the battlefield of Yijing, why did he still worship him with the position of general? It seems that this is not necessary.

Xun Zhen patiently explained to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, it is precisely because Qu Yi was defeated by Gongsun Zan that it is even more necessary to appease Yuan Shao at this time."

Liu Xie asked, "Why is this?"

Xun Zhen said: "Your Majesty, there are two reasons for this. First, since Qu Yizhi was defeated, Gongsun Zan had only a few thousand soldiers destroyed. Yuan Shao had already transferred his main force back to Ye County and other places. Your Majesty, why did Yuan Shao want to attack him? When you exterminate Gongsun Zan, suddenly bring back his main force?"

Liu Xie pondered and said, "The public's intention is that the reason why Yuan Shao transferred his main force to Ye County and other places is to guard against the court?"

Xun Zhen said: "Your Majesty, it is hard to say what he is doing right now, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. This is because the minister thought that although Qu Yi was defeated, it is actually more appropriate to take the post of general. When Yuan Shao was at peace with him."

Liu Xie thought about it, agreed with Xun Zhen's statement, and asked him, "What's the second reason?"

Xun Zhen replied: "Returning to Your Majesty's words, just as His Majesty said just now, Yuan Shao's Qu Yixin was defeated by Gongsun Zan. Common sense, it seems that it is no longer necessary to confer a high-ranking official and a jue to him, but at this time, the imperial court Going the opposite way, he actually conferred on him the appointment of a general, and dare to ask Your Majesty, what will Yuan Shao think after he gets the edict?"

"What will he think?"

Xun Zhen said: "He would think that despite the defeat of Qu Yi, the court still deeply fears him, and even fears him. Your Majesty, if he thinks this way, what will happen?"

Liu Xie understood, smiled and said, "It will increase his arrogance, and thus relax his guard against the imperial court~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Xun Zhen nodded and smiled, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is wise! exactly. Your Majesty, as long as he relaxes his guard and guard against the imperial court, the imperial court can fully prepare, and when the timing is right, he will attack Nanyang with thunder! In due time, this minister will capture Yuan Shu and Guo Si for His Majesty! "

Liu Xie fully understood what Xun Zhen meant, and his advisor Zhong Yao and others said, "Qing and others, what do you think about the car and riding?"

Zhong Yao and the others were naturally full of praise, and they all agreed.

The next day, Liu Xie sent Xun Zhen's petition to the court and ordered the ministers and ministers to discuss it.

There were opponents, but Yang Biao agreed with Xun Zhen on this matter, and Xun Zhen's proposal was finally approved at the meeting.

The edict that Yuan Shao was the general was sent to Ye County with Yang Qi as the envoy.

There was a small interlude in between.

It was Yang Biao and the others who knew about Duan Xun’s submission to Liu Xie and asked Xun Zhen to be the general, and they were all outraged. Liu Xie decreed to tell them: You don't have to object anymore, Xun Zhen himself has refused to accept it, and requested to punish Duan Xun, and the edict of punishing Duan Xie, I have already prepared to issue it, and will send it to Huayin in a few days.

However, Yang Biao and other opponents were considered boring. And needless to say.

...

The distance from Xuxian to Yexian is not close, about 600 miles away.

Yang Qi took the imperial decree out of Xu County, went northwest, out of Yingchuan County, entered the border of Hanoi County, and then went north to Wei County in Jizhou. It took a total of half a month. On this day, he arrived at Ye County and sent the edict. Order passed.

Yuan Shao received the decree, and that night gathered all the men under the tent to drink and celebrate.
