The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Dong Zhuo was "wounded too deeply by the scholars" and decided to do the opposite, not listening to Jia Xu's persuasion, and resolutely refusing to return Xun Shuang's coffin.

He wrote back a letter to Xun Zhen, in which he said to himself: "In the past, Wu Zixu had a long way to go, so he went backwards and acted against him. Now I am hated by the world, so it is a pity that no one is expected."

After reading the two sentences in Dong Zhuo's letter, Xun Zhen didn't know whether to say that he was "abandoning himself" or that he had become a "hob meat". In short, he had no choice but to send someone to find Xu Rong. , and if as he expected, Xu Rong declined his request.

Xun Shuang, the third prince of the dignified state, was unable to return to the countryside for burial after his death, and he could not be buried in the soil for peace of mind. This dynasty ruled the world with "filial piety". At the moment when filial piety was valued, this was a pity for the Xun clan, and it was also one of them. It's a hate thing, but there's nothing you can do about it.

The Xun family lived in Yingchuan, and there were many contacts between the Yingchuan nobility and the Xun family, and there were many in-laws. Xun Shuang was highly respected for his studies, and was willing to give advice to his younger generation. His own morality in Yingchuan was also very high, and Dong Zhuo refused to The news of returning his coffin to his hometown aroused the righteous indignation of many Yingchuan scholars. Some scholars who were afraid of Dong Zhuo and did not support Xun Zhen and Sun Jian used Yingchuan as the rear to seek Dong also changed their positions. , turned to support Xun Zhen and Sun Jian—this was something Xun Zhen didn't expect beforehand, and it was considered "the harvest of mulberry elm".

Although it was a time of war and the road was uneasy, there were still many scholars from all over the world who came to mourning. It was not until late May that the Xun Shuang funeral ceremony was officially held in the Xun clan? ——Because Xun Shuang’s coffin could not be returned, so this burial was just a ritual burial of a few clothes and crowns that Xun Shuang had worn before. If the world is a little more peaceful, or after Dong Zhuo's defeat, it can't be done until Xun Shuang's body can be returned.

Xun Zhen and Xun Shuang have a distant blood relationship, not as good as Xun Yu, Xun You, etc., but he is currently the highest official and nobleman in the Xun clan, and Xun Shuang has no son, so Xun Shuang's funeral is based on him. conducted for leadership.

The funeral was attended by local scholars in Yingchuan, as well as scholars from neighboring counties such as Runan, Nanyang, Chenliu, and Chen Guo. When Xun Shuang died of illness, he was the third prince of the country. There are also many local state and county officials who either came to express their condolences in person or sent representatives to attend. Sun Jian, as the prefect of Yingchuan, must have participated. Kong Mi, as the prefect of Yuzhou, should have come, but he hated Xun Zhen. , so he didn't come in person, he said he was ill, and sent a representative from his house who was engaged in Kongde to participate.

Although Kong De worked under Kong Yu's disciple, but because of the previous series of things, he already felt that Kong Yu was not like a master, only talkative, not practical ability, and thought that Xun Zhen was wise and martial arts, and he was able to achieve things in the future. He was an outstanding person, and Xun Zhen had forced Tao Qian back with a mere 2,000 soldiers a while ago, and relieved the siege of Pengcheng. Now he has a different perception of Xun Zhen, so his attitude towards Xun Zhen is extremely respectful. Cheng Jia asked him privately: Kong Duo claimed to be sick, is it true or false? He didn't hide it at all, and answered truthfully: Since returning to the prefecture, Yuzhou's health has not been very good. This time, I couldn't come to express my condolences in person because of my physical discomfort.

In addition to Sun Jian, Kong De, etc., Er Yuan, Cao Cao, and others also sent people to offer condolences. Tao Qian also sent people after hearing the news. In addition, Yin Xiu, who stayed in Yingchuan, also attended Xun Shuang's funeral.

The funeral was over, and it was the end of May, the beginning of June.

Because Dong Zhuo refused to return Xun Shuang's coffin, Xu Zhong, Le Jin, Jiang Qin, Chen Dao, Chen Wu, Xin Ai, Zang Hong, Liu Bei and other generals, including Chen Bao and others who were far away in Guangling, As well as Xi Zhicai, Cheng Jia, Guo Jia and other scribes, all of them were indignant with the mentality of "humiliating the emperor and his ministers to die".

Xun Zhen summoned Xun You and Xun Yu, and said to them: "Although the soldiers are angry, but if they are angry, how can they compare to you and me? I wish I could send troops to attack and fight Dong Thief to the death. In the summer of Chinese roses, the heat is unbearable, and it is not the right time to fight. Wentai discussed with me yesterday, and he said that we might as well wait until the autumn harvest before attacking the decisive battle. ... What do you think?"

There are three advantages to the decisive battle after the autumn harvest: first, through the autumn harvest, the treasury can be filled, and there is no need to worry about the military supplies; second, with the end of the autumn harvest, the weather will gradually become cooler, which is conducive to the troops and horses to fight; finally, Dong Jun has now They are restless, wait a few more months, and wait until the autumn harvest is over. I think their morale will be even lower, and the progress of the war will be more beneficial to Xun Zhen and Sun Jian.

Xun You, Xun Yu and others were all wise men, and naturally knew the truth of "generals should not raise troops out of anger", so although they were gnashing their teeth at Dong Zhuo, they all agreed with Xun Zhen's opinion.

Therefore, it was temporarily decided to send troops to attack after the autumn harvest.

Xun Shuang died of illness, because of a sadness, when the sixth month came, another joy came.

On this day, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian were discussing the recent situation in Yingchuan County in the tent, and a person came in outside the tent.

Xun Zhen looked at him, but he recognized this person. He was a fellow of Yao Sheng, and now the Guangling County Government was taking orders.

He came all the way from Guangling, and there was no letter before he arrived. Xun Zhen didn't know why he came here, and his heart skipped a beat. The first thing that came to his mind was Tao Qian, and he thought: "Is there something wrong with Tao Gongzu?"

Taking a closer look, he saw that although this person was in the dust, but his face was full of joy, Xun Zhen thought about it, remembered something, and thought, "Could it be, could it be?" Fluctuating, he asked slowly, "Why is Qing here? But is there something wrong with Guangling?"

The man fell to the ground and said loudly, "Congratulations to the mansion, Hexi mansion!"

"Oh?"

"My wife gave birth to a son on the 5th. The son weighs 14 pounds and 12 taels. Mother and son are safe!"

Sun Jian stood up from the table, laughed loudly, gave Xun Zhen a bow, and said, "Zhenzhi, congratulations! I'm so happy to be Lin'er!"

Xun Zhen was surprised and delighted, and said in her heart, "As expected, as expected! It was really A Zhi who gave birth. 'Birth of a son', '14 jins and 12 taels', gave birth to a big fat boy for me, Haha, haha..." I was happy in my heart, and I couldn't help laughing out of joy.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system. The "one catty" of the Qin and Han Dynasties is about the "half catty" of the later generations, and the "fourteen catties and twelve liang" is almost the "seven catties and six liang" of the later generations. On the "big fat boy", in the present, even more so.

Dian Wei, the guard outside the tent, heard the conversation in the tent, opened the tent and came in, also bowing to He Xi, he was stupid, didn't know how to say it, and his face was full of joy, but he just repeated: "Congratulations Junhou , Lord Hexi."

Although Xun Zhen knew that Chen Zhi was pregnant, she still didn't know whether Chen Zhi was pregnant with a son or a daughter. Now that I know that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is a son, this is really a happy event, - Xun Zhendao It's not that he prefers boys over girls. In comparison, he actually prefers girls, but in today's world, he can't help but ignore his son, especially in this troubled world, from a political level or from a better way to unite and unite himself. In terms of these aspects of the political clique, the son, as the heir, is obviously far superior to the daughter. He picked up the person who came to report the letter and Dian Wei, and his mouth was so happy that he said, "Get up, get up, get up!"

Not long after the news came out, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Xun Yu, Xu Zhong, Xun Cheng, Xin Ai, Cheng Jia, Guo Jia, Chen Qun, and others all came in an endless stream, entered the tent and paid their respects. Everyone was in high spirits, and even Xu Zhong, who was usually unsmiling, showed a happy smile. Some people even looked happier than Xun Zhen, and only had to dance.

Cheng Jia is one of the people who "only need to dance". After he paid tribute to Xunzhen, he stood in the crowd with his beard twisted, and said loudly with joy: "Jun Hou, I have a happy baby today, you can't be anonymous!"

Sun Jian listened, and said, "Yes, yes, Zhenzhi, this is your boss, you should give a good name."

In a hurry, I couldn't think of a good name. Anyway, I was just born, so I don't need to rush to get a name. Xun Zhen thought for a while and said, "At that time, Ji Xia was going to ask Dong Dong, so let's name it 'Ji Xia'." I1292
