Xian Yuyin, Yan Zhi, and Wei Dun heard Xun Zhen's question and looked at each other.

Xian Yuyin asked Xun Zhen and said, "I dare to ask Duke Ming, where did you hear about this?"

Xun Zhen said: "I just heard about it, I don't know if there is such a thing. Is the news true or false?"

Xian Yuyin sighed and said: "Ming Gong, there is a folk proverb in Xiajia, saying, 'Good things don't go out, bad things travel thousands of miles', but I didn't expect that this matter has already spread to Xuxian court, for Ming Dynasty It is known to the public!"

Xun Zhen heard the meaning of Xian Yuyin's words, "Oh", and said, "What? Is it true that Liu He was assassinated?"

Xian Yuyin replied, "Back to Duke Ming's words, not only did this happen, but it happened more than once!"

"More than once?"

Xian Yuyin said: "Ming Gong, since Gongsun Zan was defeated by the joint forces of Youzhou and Yuan Benchu, there have been three groups of assassins trying to assassinate Liu Jun! Besides the assassins who want to stab Liu Jun, Xian Yufu and Yan Sima, the inferior brothers Over there, there are often assassins plotting assassinations."

Xun Zhen frowned, showing a very concerned look, and asked: "Yan Jun and Xian Yujun also have assassins trying to assassinate them? Did Yan Jun and Xian Yujun ever get hurt because of this?"

If Yan Rou and Xian Yufu were successfully assassinated by the assassin, Xian Yuyin and others must have told Xun Zhen, but they didn't say it. It can be seen that Yan Rou, Xian Yufu and Liu He must be the same, but they were assassinated by the assassin. Not stabbed to death.

Xian Yuyin said: "With the care of Duke Lao Ming, the assassin's several assassinations were fortunately discovered early and failed to succeed. Brother Yan Sima, and Jun Liu were all near misses and were not killed. No injuries were caused.”

Xun Zhen's expression was relaxed, and she said with a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good! A year or two ago, Liu Jun, on the secret order of the sage, traveled thousands of miles away, disregarding the danger of thieves, and sent him from Chang'an. Youzhou, the Shepherd Liu Gongqin of Youzhou, who wanted to work hard, went through so many hardships and obstacles along the way, only the time when he was detained by the brothers Yuan Gonggong and Yuan Benchu ​​for more than a year! When he arrived in Youzhou, even though the Shepherd Liu of Youzhou had already been harmed by Gongsun Zan by then, but Liu Jun was loyal to the court, but the sage was never forgotten, and he was always very concerned about him!  … Before you waited, the day before yesterday afternoon, the sage called me into the palace to discuss matters, and also mentioned Liu Jun! There is no accident with Liu Jun, that's the best! Let the clan brother Xian Yufu..." Looking at Yan Rou, he said, "With My brother Yan Rou, who advocated a righteous teacher and avenged Liu Gong, the sage highly praised the actions of the two of them. If they do something wrong, the sage will know it, and it will definitely be very heartache, and it will also be a loss for me!"

After a pause, Xun Zhen asked Xian Yuyin and said, "You said that the assassin's assassination only appeared after Gongsun Zan's defeat, so these assassins were sent by Gongsun Bogui?"

Xian Yuyin thanked Xun Zhen for his concern for Liu He, Xian Yufu, and Yan Rou, as well as Liu Xie's praise for them as told by Xun Zhen, and then replied to Xun Zhen, saying: "Returning to Duke Ming's words, these assassins all died. Disciples, most of them were killed in the process of resisting arrest, but they also caught two live victims, and they learned that they were all under the orders of Gongsun Zan!"

Xun Zhen shook his head again and again and said, "This Gongsun Bogui sent an envoy three times and twice before, and asked me to form an alliance with me. I rejected him because of his infidelity and injustice, but I didn't think that he would not Loyalty and unrighteousness, has it been reduced to the point of sending murderers to assassinate?" Filled with righteous indignation, he added, "He killed Liu Youzhou without authorization and fished the common people, which is already hated. It is even more morally degrading to use a trip to stab, and I am disgusted! I am disgusted!"

The four words "moral loss" came out. A familiar sentence from the previous life came to Xun Zhen's mind. He almost said another sentence, but fortunately he closed it.

Quick, no words will come out.

Xun Yu was beside him, stroked his beard and sighed, and also said: "Gongsun Zan has gone against the law, causing the wrath of the sky and the resentment of the people, and his general trend is gone! For him, the only way to survive today is to apologize to Youzhou and enter the court from the threshold. The sage is lenient, and maybe he can survive. But he was dazed, and he resorted to assassination! I don’t even think about it, by assassinating such a lowly method, can it help him restore the general trend that has gone? Even if he retreats one Wan Bu said, the worst thing to say is that he succeeded in the assassination, but he killed one or two people. Youzhou has lost the hearts and minds of so many gentry who opposed him. Is it possible that he can still kill them?"

One of them answered with spontaneity, and said, "What Duke Ming and the Shang Shu said is very true! The people of Youzhou, all the people in Youzhou, and now they all hate Gongsun Zan to the bone! They dare not hide from Duke Ming and the Shangshu, so Youzhou's shepherd, Duke Liu, has usurped and murdered Gongsun Zan. After that, Dun gnashed his teeth and wept blood, thinking day and night to take revenge for Duke Liu! I wish I could eat Ni Zan's flesh and sleep thief Zan's skin!" This man looked indignant and his voice was agitated, it was Wei Dun.

Wei Dun was Liu Yu's former official, and he won Liu Yu's credit and was very grateful to Liu Yu. After Liu Yu's death, he was one of the most resolute opponents of Gongsun Zan. If Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, and Yan Rou’s opposition to Gongsun Zan was largely due to their own interests and their families’ interests in Youzhou, then Wei Dun’s opposition to Gongsun Zan was entirely out of opposition to Liu Yu's loyalty.

It is for this reason that after Liu He arrived in Youzhou, he felt the loyalty of Wei Dun, and he also greatly credited him. This time he sent an envoy to the DPRK, and made him his representative, making him come to make promises with Xian Yuyin and Yan Zhitong. County. - The three people sent by Youzhou to the DPRK, Xian Yuyin represents Xian Yufu, Yan Zhi represents Yan Rou, and this Wei Dun represents Liu He.

In the original time and space, after Liu Yu's death, Wei Dun once did a great thing. After Gongsun Zan beheaded Liu Yu, he sent Liu Yu's head to Chang'an. Wei Dun lurked on the way and risked his own death. Liu Yu's head was properly buried. The surname "Wei" is very rare. The most famous person in history is Wei Sheng. It is the so-called "faithful as Weisheng, honest as Boyi, filial as Zeng Shen, and the three are the highest in the world". This Weisheng is famous for his trustworthiness. Hereafter. Wei Dun is a descendant of Wei Sheng, but he does not fall into the name of his ancestors.

Xun Zhen glanced at Wei Dun more and thought, "This is a loyal and martyr." After praising Wei Dun, he followed what Xun Yu said just now, and said, "Assassination is such an inferior person. The method, of course, is difficult to restore the lost people's hearts and general trends. Doing things is the same as being a person, gentlemen, I think the first and foremost point is to be upright! Therefore, I never disdain to use this method!"

Xian Yuyin admired and said, "Can Gongsun Zan be compared with Duke Ming? Compared with Duke Ming, the difference cannot be measured by thousands of miles!"

Taking the opportunity to express to Xian Yuyin and others his principles of governing and being a human being, Xunzhen smiled and said, "Since Liu Jun, Xian Yujun, Yan Jun, etc. are all safe, then I am flattering Xian Yuyin. I can rest assured. I heard that Liu Jun and Xian Yujun are now in Ji County, and Yan Sima has returned to Shanggu County, is that so?"

Xian Yuyin not only has the highest official position and the oldest age among the three, but also the family he came from is also the most famous in Youzhou. This time, he seems to be the main ambassador, so he still answers Xun Zhen. He said: "In reply to Duke Ming's words, Liu Jun and his brother Zaixia are indeed in Jixian County, and Yan Sima is indeed returned to Shanggu County."

Xun Zhen nodded and said, "Although Gongsun Zan was defeated by the emperor and others, I heard that his strength still exists, and there are still tens of thousands of people in his works. Ji County is adjacent to Zhuo County. Invade Jixian? Liu Jun and Xianyujun live in Jixian, can you worry about it?"

Xian Yuyin was quite arrogant and said: "If you return to Duke Ming, please don't worry about it. Although there are still 30,000 to 40,000 people in Gongsun Zan's trilogy, and in the past few months, he did have two times. We attacked Guangyang, but we were all repelled by our army!"

Ji County belongs to Guangyang County.

However, although this Ji County borders Zhuo County and is very close to Gongsun Zan's old nest, Ji County is the seat of Youzhou's state government, so especially now that Gongsun Zan is about to go, but it has not been completely eliminated, and the counties in Youzhou are still quite When there were his remnants, or those who were closely linked to him, Liu He and Xian Yufu, in order to stabilize the state, told the people of Youzhou that they were the orthodox forces representing the court, and in fact they were the ones who needed to stay the most. in Ji County.

And stationing in Jixian, on the one hand, has a political appeal, and on the other hand, it also has a military significance. It is precisely because Ji County is very close to Zhuo County that Liu He, Xian Yufu, and Xianyu Yin commanded the main force of their troops to be stationed in Ji County, so that they could better form a north-south correspondence with Yuan Shao's troops in the south of Zhuo County and Yi County. Keeping the attacking trend prevented him from breathing and recovering his strength.

Because of this, Liu He and Xian Yufu insisted on staying in Jixian.

Liu He was a Confucian scholar and had no talent for military strategy. Before, Liu Yu rallied 100,000 troops to fight Gongsun Zan, but in the battle that Gongsun Zan defeated, Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin were both in Liu Yu's army. Among them is Liu Yu's most important staff officer and general. It can be seen that Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin are not good at military strategy, but now they have been able to stand in Jixian and repelled Gongsun Zan's attack twice in a row! From this, it can be roughly inferred that Gongsun Zan has indeed reached the end of the road and is about to perish.

Xun Zhen and Xun Yu both looked as usual, but in their hearts, they made this judgment based on Xian Yuyin's answer.

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "When Gongsun Zan's power was at its most rampant in the past, the land of Banzhou in Youzhou, and even as far as Jizhou, were forced by his arrogance, but now he has retreated to Zhuo County and Yi County, but his old party The branch line must still exist in other counties, ... Xian Yujun, how are the people's hearts and public opinion in Youzhou now?"

Xian Yuyin replied: "Reporting to Duke Ming, the people of Youzhou have been poisoned by Gongsun Zan for a long time! They were isolated from the Chang'an road for several years, and they have not heard the court's virtues for several years. On the day when the sage’s decree arrived in Youzhou a month ago, the people of Youzhou cheered and ran to tell each other!… Duke Ming, Liu Jun and his brother in the lower clan, Yan Sima, know that they are mean, and they only want to be loyal and serve the court!”

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, the people of Youzhou miss the imperial court, you have this heart, the Holy One will know, and you will be happy. I hear it, and I am very happy."

Xun Yu picked up the pottery bowl on the table, took a sip of the soup, and put the pottery bowl down.

His move caught the attention of Xian Yuyin and others.

After the three of them paid attention to himself, Xun Yu sat upright, and Yan Ran said, "What my brother said just now is very true, although Gongsun Zan is now at the end of the road, but when his power was rampant in the past, his prostitute power reached Jizhou as far as possible. In the first battle of Jieqiao, it was not Quyi who turned the tide, and Jizhou now has Gongsun Zan! Three or two months ago, Quyi was killed innocently by Yuan Benchu. It was to eliminate a strong enemy for Gongsun Zan! Do you intend to take the opportunity to counterattack?"

Xian Yuyin laughed and said: "Shangshu, although Quyi was innocently killed by Yuan Benchu, Gongsun Zan has no ability to counterattack now! Judging from the following, it will be a year later, and as early as next year's summer and autumn, he will surely perish!"

Following Xun Yu's meaning, Xian Yuyin also described Qu Yi's murder as an "innocent" murder. Whether this was his original intention or Xun Yu's words, it was a worthy Xun Zhen. Xun Yu and Xun Yu noticed the signal, but their expressions were still the same.

Xun Yu asked, "Why do you have such confidence?"

Xian Yuyin said: "I dare to report two things to Duke Ming and the minister."

Having said that, two people came in in the courtyard outside the hall.
