The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Entering Linxiang City, before reaching the gate of the prefecture, I saw Zhu Zhi, Zu Mao, Wu Jing, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others all wearing armor, pressing their swords and urging horses to run out of the palace. .

Xun Zhen asked Zhao Yun to go up and ask.

Soon, Zhao Yun returned to return to order, but Zhu Zhi and his people were ordered by Sun Jian to either go to the camp to sit in the camp to prepare for battle, or to patrol the county with cavalry and cavalry to prevent chaos.

Hearing that Sun Jian had summoned many senior officials of the county government to discuss matters in the front courtyard, Xun Zhen did not bother Sun Jian.

On the way back to Linxiang, Xun Zhen had already conceived a letter to Yuan Shao and Cao Cāo, and when he got to the building, he immediately took the paper and did not use others to grind it, but to grind it himself, and then take advantage of the grinding time to reshape it. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately started writing. It didn't take long before the letters to Yuan Shao and Cao Cāo were written.

After writing these two letters, Xun Zhen did not stop, and wrote a few more letters to Ying yīn, to the elders of the clan, the generals of righteous congruence, Le Jin and others.

After writing a few letters, Xun Zhen first took the envelopes addressed to Yuan Shao and Cao Cāo and handed them to Xun You, saying, "Gongda, prepare for tonight, prepare your luggage, and take these two letters to Luoyang early tomorrow morning. city!"

Xun You replied solemnly, "No."

Xun Zhen called Zhao Yun forward and said, "Zilong, Gongda is here to go to Luoyang. The road is long and there are many thieves. You must not be escorted. This responsibility is left to you."

Zhao Yun replied, "No!"

Xun Zhen handwritten a military order, gave it to Zhao Yun, and said, "You hold this order, go to Bo Qin and ask him to act according to the order."

Zhao Yun took the order and looked, but Xun Zhen ordered Jiang Qin to allocate fifty horses to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, when you came to Changsha this time, the number of knights you brought with you was very small, so you have set aside fifty knights this time?"

The "jīng cavalry" written in Xun Zhen's decree was obviously the real cavalry. When he came to Changsha this time, he only had dozens of cavalry with him. He allocated fifty cavalry to Zhao Yun at once, and there were very few left.

Xun Zhen said, "These fifty jīng rides are not for you, but I want you to take them all to Luoyang."

"That is?"

"Ten of the cavalry will follow you to **** Gongda to Luoyang, and the remaining forty cavalry, you will place them in the counties along the way, ... Gongda, after you go to Kyoto, no matter how the situation in Kyoto changes, no matter how big or small, As long as you feel that you need to report to me, write to Zilong, who will be responsible for sending it to me, ... Zilong, the forty horses you have placed in the counties and counties along the way are dedicated to delivering news."

Xun You and Zhao Yun understood what Xun Zhen meant and complied solemnly.

The fastest way to transmit news is by relay. Although Luoyang is nearly 2,000 miles away from Linxiang, if this method is used to transmit news and information, it can be delivered at most ten times without a break.

Xun Zhen called Xun You to the front again, and instructed her face to face, saying: "Gongda, after you arrive in Luoyang, don't rush back, give these two letters to Yuan Benchu ​​and Meng De, and you can visit Zhu Jun, Yinxiu, Zhao Qian, Kong Rong, He Yong, Zhong Yao, you don't need to say anything to them, if they say anything to you, you can write it down and ask Zilong to report it to me."

Zhu Jun, Yinxiu, Zhao Qian, Kong Rong, He Yong, and Zhong Yao were all old acquaintances of Xunzhen, and they are all in Luoyang now.

After Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, not long after his mother died, he went to official and returned home to keep filial piety. Doctor Lu, Tuenqi school captain, Tuenmen school captain, Henan Yin, etc., now Luoyang. Yīn Xiu had been an official in the court since he left the prefecture of Yingchuan, and he was also a minister. He was also in Luoyang. When the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, Zhao Qian was the prefect of Runan. Because Zhao Qian's father, Zhao Dian, was Xun Shuang's leader, when Xun Zhen asked for the Yellow Turbans from Runan, Xun Shuang specially explained to Xun Zhen and asked him to respect Zhao. Qian, Zhao Qian's term as the prefect of Runan expired, and now he is also in the court of Kyoto, and he is also a minister. Kong Rong was recruited by Wang Yun, and he and Xun Shuang both worked for Yuzhou. Later, he was used by the court, and he is still in the court now. He Yong needless to say, he has always been in Luoyang. Zhong Yao's previous tenure in Shangshulang expired, and he was appointed as Yangling Ling. He resigned due to illness, and was requisitioned by the three governments. He was appointed as Tingweizheng by the imperial court. Wei's subordinate officer, the Zhong family of Changshe is a well-known legal family in the prefecture and county. Zhong Yao was appointed by the imperial court as Tingweizheng, which can be regarded as a show of family learning.

Some of these people have a distant relationship with Xun Zhen, and some have a close relationship, but at this time, no matter how far or near, they can use it as they can.

Xun You promised.

Xun Zhen pondered for a while, and then said: "I heard that Han Zhongcheng is a student of the Yuan family. If you can get an introduction from Yuan Benchu, you can also pay a visit. I don't know if the prince of the prefect of Yuzhou is in Luoyang now? If so, you can also go to see him. some time."

Han Zhongcheng refers to Han Fu. Han Fu, Xun Zhen and Xun You were in the same prefecture, and he is now the imperial censor of the court. The Han family also belonged to the Yingchuan nobility. Han Fu had contacts with the Xun family, but it was because he was much older than Xun Zhen. When Xun Zhen became famous, he was already an official in the prefecture, county and court, so Xun Zhen was already an official. Zhen has never met him.

Therefore, the prefect of Yuzhou, the prince, was talking about Wang Yun.

Among the people Xun Zhen knew, Wang Yun had the most difficult career in the past few years, and the reason was that he had offended Zhang Rang.

After the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, Wang Yun and Huangfu Song seized Zhang Rang's guests and communicated with the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans. Xun Zhen had a little guess about this at the time, so Wang Yun reported the matter to the emperor. . The emperor angrily rebuked Zhang Rang, but Zhang Rang won the emperor's trust and love. Not only was he not convicted, but in the following year, that is, the second year of Zhongping, Wang Yun was confiscated to the capital by a chariot, and he was arrested and imprisoned. Fortunately, in time for the amnesty, Wang Yunyu was pardoned and returned to the position of prefect of Yuzhou, but within a few days, he was arrested again for "the crime of it".

He was arrested twice within a month, which was a great humiliation for the scholar-officials, because Wang Yunsu was arrogant and strong, and Yang Cibu, who was the Situ at the time, was humiliated by the swordsman in prison again, so he sent a guest. Advise him to "deliberate" and "deliberate", think carefully, nothing more than commit suicide or die. Among the officials in Yuzhou around Wang Yun, there are quite a few who are "arrogant and determined", that is, light death and good gas. Yes, Gong shed tears and went into it with poisoned wine, persuading Wang Yun to commit suicide. Wang Yun refused, and said sternly: "I am a minister, and I have been punished by the ruler. I should be punished to death to thank the world. How can I commit suicide by drinking medicine?"

When the courtiers heard this, they all sighed. General He Jin, Taiwei Yuan Kui, and Situ Yang Ci went to the **** to intercede for Wang Yun. Wang Yun was exempted from the death penalty because of the "commutation theory", but he could not be released. This winter, the court granted a pardon, but Wang Yun was not among the pardons. He was not released until the second year, that is, the third year of Zhongping. . After experiencing this, Wang Yun personally experienced the brutality and power of the eunuchs. He was worried that he would be arrested and jailed by Zhang Rang again, so he changed his name and fled to Hanoi and Chen Liujian.

Now that the emperor has collapsed, Xun You and Cheng Jia can see that the conflict between the scholar-bureaucrat and the **** may break out because of this, and Wang Yun can naturally see that Hanoi and Chen Liu are not far from the capital, so he must sneak back to the capital.

Xun You promised.

"You two go down and prepare now."

Xun You and Zhao Yun bowed and went to prepare to leave tomorrow morning.

In Xun Zhen's order to Jiang Qin, in addition to ordering Jiang Qin to allocate fifty spirits to Zhao Yun, there was also an order for Jiang Qin to come to the mansion to meet him immediately.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Qin arrived. His face was dusty and his forehead was dripping with sweat, apparently because he was galloping on the road.

Xun Zhen handed him the letter written to the patriarch, Yi Cong, generals, and Le Jin, and said, "Bo Qin, do you know about the death of the emperor?"

"I already know."

"This is a letter I wrote to the elders in my clan, as well as Jun Qing, Boren, Yulang and Le Wenqian. You go back and pack up, and go out of the city with Gongda and Zilong tomorrow morning, return to Yingyīn, take these few Give the letter to the recipient."

Jiang Qin carefully received the letter, then bowed and replied, "No."

"This number of letters is of great importance. You must be careful on the road and not lose it. Remember to remember it."

Among these letters, the letters to the clan were nothing but to ask about the situation of the clan.

In the past six months, Xun Zhen has only written one letter to the clan and Chen Zhi. To be more precise, he has only written one letter to the clan, and only ten words to Chen Zhi: "The bright moon is born in the sea, and the end of the world shares this. This is the second time he has written a letter to the clan, perhaps to prevent him from worrying outside, or to prevent him from venturing home. The clan’s earlier reply to him did not mention Xunli disease. important thing.

However, the contents of the letters to Xun Cheng, Xu Zhong, Xin Ai, Le Jin and others are not suitable for outsiders to see.

In a letter to Xun Cheng, Xu Zhong, and Xin Ai, Xun Zhen ordered them to rectify the cavalry and righteous servants and be ready to fight at any time. In a letter to Le Jin, he asked about the current warehousing and ordnance storage conditions in Yingchuan. . Although Xun Zhen did not say that this "preparing to fight" was "preparing" for where to fight, nor did he say why he asked Yingchuan Tibetan Chu, but if he was seen by a smart and conscientious person, thinking of the current state of affairs, he might have Xun Zhen was suspected of having "unexpected ambitions". Therefore, these letters must not be lost.

"Don't worry, Junhou, you will be safe."

"Okay, you go."

Jiang Qin agreed to withdraw.

Xun Zhen summoned Cheng Jia again and said, "Junchang, I will send Gongda and Bo Qinfen to Luoyang and Yingchuan to deliver the letter. What is my intention, sir?"

Cheng Jia replied: "I can guess one or two."

Xun Zhen's meaning is very clear, he wants to take this opportunity to "turn over", which is what Cheng Jia said "resurrection".

"With respect, I do this, is it feasible? Do I need to do anything else?"

"I have three plans~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Please tell me."

"As the lord said, living in Linxiang, doing nothing, sitting and waiting for Yuan Benchu's call to fly, this is the best policy, and if the lord is sending letters to Luoyang and Yingyīn now, it can be regarded as the middle policy. ."

"What's the best policy?"

"The matter now is not only about the lords and lords themselves, but also about the situation of the world in the future. If things can be accomplished, then the eunuchs will hold their hands and the scholars will raise their eyebrows. On this occasion, in the opinion of Jiayu, the lords and lords should ride lightly into the capital and meet Yuan Benchu. , General, pro-staff counseling and planning, this is the best policy."

From the first emperor to the present, the eunuchs have been in power for decades, and the number of scholars has failed to succeed. Now I have finally waited for such a god-given opportunity, and it is very likely that the situation of the dynasty will be reversed. Once the situation is reversed, then anyone who participates in Those who do this are bound to become dignitaries of the imperial court, so at this time, in Cheng Jia's opinion, it is not enough for Xun Zhen to just write to Yuan Shao and others.

Cheng Jia believed that Xun Zhen should sneak into the capital, meet Yuan Shao, He Jin and others, and personally participate in the planning of this matter. Only in this way can he obtain the greatest political benefits for himself "after the event is completed".
