Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3318 Someone in the city howled

It's hard to have the best of both worlds.

Liu Xie came down from Chongde Hall, his face was gloomy and the corners of his mouth were trembling.

At first glance, it seemed that he was still in the late stages of anger, but in fact he was trying his best to control himself from turning up the corners of his mouth.

This is so difficult...

Cao Mengde, you also have today!

At present, the battle between Shandong and Guanzhong is in full swing. According to common sense, in the face of pressure from foreign enemies, all forces in Shandong should unite and jointly fight against the hussars in Guanzhong.

However, the reality is far from that simple.

Especially as Cao Cao's current situation becomes more difficult, it becomes more difficult for the gentry disciples in Shandong to gather their thoughts together.

The descendants of the gentry in Shandong each have their own plans and interests to consider.

Some of them may value the long-term interests of the family, hope to preserve their strength, and are unwilling to lose too much in an uncertain battle; some may have doubts about Cao Cao's leadership ability and believe that his decision-making led to the war situation. disadvantages, thus losing confidence in him; others may have other ambitions and try to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to expand their influence, or even seek greater power.

Under such circumstances, even in the face of a common enemy, it is difficult to form true unity within Shandong.

Everyone is making their own calculations, calculating their own interests and gains.

As the nominal emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie was not trying to stabilize his internal emotions when facing such internal contradictions and dilemmas, but was trying to seek the expansion of his own rights...

The small peasant ideology of the feudal landlord class under the manor economy is vividly displayed in Xu County, Shandong Province.

One third of an acre, hey!

Liu Xie wandered around the one-third of an acre of land in his house. After entering the ancestral temple, he finally took off his mask. He was afraid that the Xiaohuangmen or the imperial guards who were on duty outside the ancestral temple would hear about it, so he covered his mouth with his hands, and poof It was puffing and puffing.

Cao Cao's family is dominant, which does not benefit Liu Xie at all.

The system of the Han Dynasty consists of three public servants and nine ministers!

Liu Xie secretly enjoyed himself for a while, sitting cross-legged under the table enshrining the ancestral tablets and thinking.

Although he hates Cao Cao, Cao Cao cannot collapse, at least not now, at least until Liu Xie finds a successor...

Xun Yu? Huh, no. This guy is almost a dog under Cao Cao. So, Liu Ye? It’s not very good. There is no problem with the scriptures, but there are big problems with the military.

Yes, the military.

Liu Xie's brows furrowed, and after a full calculation, he found that there was no one in Shandong who could command the troops.

Can't we just go to Zang Ba? !

The name sounds unreliable at first glance.

Liu Xie thought about it over and over, frowning deeply, and then realized that things were not as simple as he originally thought. Yes, it seems natural to defeat Cao Cao, but what about after defeating Cao Cao? What to do with such a big stall?

Unconsciously, Liu Xie walked out of the ancestral temple again.

The expression on his face was really troubled this time, and his brows were furrowed.

I raised my eyes and took a sneak peek at a small yellow door deep in the corridor, then quickly lowered my head.

…

…

There was chaos outside the window, and the light from some lanterns seemed to come from far, far away.

When the fine wind squeezed through the window lintel and the gap in the house, it made a whining sound, as if someone was crying secretly.

I don't know what time of night it was. Xun Yu rolled over from the bed and touched his somewhat swollen and painful forehead.

Although it is said that Lao Cao controlled the information, some information was concealed from the subordinates and made transparent to the superiors.

Guo Jia is dead.

Xun Yu felt as if a piece of space suddenly fell out of his heart.

He stood in front of the window, confused, and then confirmed again in the night wind that Guo Fengxiao, who loved to drink, had left this world forever.

Normally, when people reach middle age, they have to start to adapt to the separation of life, old age and death. Xun Yu could accept the birth of children and the death of elders, and he was willing to accept it, but Guo Jia was not that old...

Cao Cao was eventually dragged into the decisive battle by Fei Qian. The right time, right place, right people, and the best of both worlds, none of them have an advantage, but they still have to fight. Although a lot of considerations and preparations had been made before the war, when it came to this day, Xun Yu still had no idea.

Now, coupled with Guo Jia's death, it simply made Xun Yu feel like he was walking in thick fog, with a cliff at his feet and could fall into the abyss at any time.

Under such a situation, the Yingchuan area of ​​Yuzhou actually broke out to overthrow Cao Cao, and it was like a basin of ice water poured on Xun Yu's head. Although these guys are claiming to be for the Han, the Emperor, and the people, in fact Xun Yu knows it, and they themselves also know that they don't care about the Han, let alone the Emperor. As for the people, as long as they have food to eat, The people can't make a fuss, so it's still these guys who are making a fuss in these names.

During the reign of Emperor Huan Ling, these people made trouble.

When Dong Zhuo was in power, these people also made trouble.

Now that Cao Cao has welcomed the Emperor, these people are still making trouble...

Cheng Yu came to look for Xun Yu last night, and his attitude was very clear.

kill.

Long before Cao Cao sent troops, he had anticipated changes in the rear. At that time, classmate Lao Cao said that if someone was disobedient, he should be killed. Xun Yu felt that once he killed someone, it would mean that the situation had completely deteriorated, just like Cao Cao had done before when he killed Kong Rong. The effect could not be said to be nonexistent, but it was also very limited.

Nowadays in Shandong, the propaganda is that Guanzhong is full of green faces and fangs, and they are all arrogant and unreasonable. They do not care about civility and only know how to kill people. The people under the rule of Qiusi are in dire straits and are in turmoil everywhere...

So if Cao Cao makes a killing move and stirs up chaos in Shandong, wouldn't it be like slapping himself in the face? How will we say in the future that the system here in Shandong is good and that the people's lives are stable and superior? How can I say that I went to Guanzhong to save the people in Guanzhong for the sake of the great man, the emperor, and the people?

Although the effectiveness of these slogans is indeed waning, it is better than nothing, right?

As Cao Cao's chief steward who stayed in Xu County, Xun Yu naturally knew more details.

He even knew that among the people who stirred up trouble, there were also people from his own family, the Xun family of Yingchuan.

Xun Yu took over the position of head of the Xun family, which was Xun Shuang's choice in the turbulent situation of the court. After all, only a smart leader can save more people in the dangerous situation, but within the Xun family But some people may not agree with Xun Yu, and they always think that I can have sex with him. Therefore, when Xun Yu suggested going north to avoid disaster, some people in the Xun family were unwilling to leave Yingchuan, and as a result, they were unlucky later...

Then when Xun Yu left Jizhou again, another group of Xun's people asked why they wanted to go back after finally leaving, but they were unwilling, so they split some people. As the saying goes, wealth cannot last more than three generations, that's it. However, any gene chain that can still be seen in future generations, regardless of male or female, has been rich in the ancestors. The real poor will not survive more than three generations before they have no descendants. The big family prospered and developed, but at a certain stage, or during a certain period, the peripheral tissues began to collapse, becoming a poor family, then degenerating into paupers, and then the genetic chain broke.

Although these collapses and damages within the Xun clan were not what Xun Yu wanted, nor could they be said to be caused by Xun Yu, it is inevitable that some Xun clan members will attribute their hatred to Xun Yu. Xun Yu originally wanted to save these people as much as possible, but now he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't save them.

The Cao clan is dead, and the Xiahou clan is also dead. Now if these clansmen in Shandong are also implicated and die, once the seeds of hatred between each other are planted, then the slightest gap will sprout, and eventually the clay statue will be completely torn apart. Become fragments.

Big man...

This scattered information is a headache, and the atmosphere in Xu County is even more sad.

Because Cao Cao did not announce his funeral secretly, Guo Jia could only keep it secretly sealed in the coffin, and in such weather...

The first seven days are coming soon, and I don’t know if Fengxiao’s soul will come back to take a look.

Xun Yu raised his head, trying to see some providence from the chaotic night, but unfortunately, he saw the dawn from midnight, and could not see any providence. Instead, he waited for the latest news from the palace.

The informant in the palace revealed that the emperor Liu Xie was not very happy about this incident of "destroying Cao", but looked more "sad", which made Xun Yu feel a little relieved.

After so many years, the emperor has finally grown up.

Whatever.

Xun Yu put down the letter.

The emperor is an evil dragon. If he wants to grow up, he must be watered with flesh and blood.

"Someone is coming!" 』

Xun Yu greeted.

The figure outside the window moved and fell in front of the window.

"Go and send a message to Cheng Zhongde, saying... we can take action." 』

…

…

"Snapped! 』

A short arrow accurately penetrated the slender mouth of the bottle.

"Wonderful! 』

"Good technique!" 』

In the elegant room of the restaurant, there was a burst of applause and cheers.

Xun Pi laughed, as if these were trivial matters and not worth mentioning.

"Mr. Xun Lang is so accurate in throwing pots!" "Mei Ji pouted slightly on the side, pretending to be aggrieved and resentful, "If this continues, the slave family will not dare to play with Mr. Xun Lang anymore..."

"Ah haha, Mr. Xun Lang is not only accurate in shooting, he is also accurate in shooting...ah ha ha ha, he is also accurate!" ” Tuse on the side said something.

"Oh, that's disgusting~" Meiji said with just the right amount of coquettishness, and she didn't let the words fall to the ground.

Amidst the laughter and laughter, the smell of corruption spread among the aroma of wine and meat.

The relationship between men and women is actually an instinct for human self-reproduction, but literati like to cover it with various packaging, which naturally makes it elegant. But what is very interesting is that no matter which dynasty or generation it is, there are always some literati who are keen on letting good sons go to sea, but also like to persuade prostitutes to become good. This may be the source of the endless popularity of keyboard warriors.

Holding Meiji in his arms, drinking wine, in the midst of the bustle, a voice broke in somewhat harshly, solidifying the originally rotten atmosphere.

"kill! The inexhaustible tyrants of the Han Dynasty! Guanzhong! Hedong! Koto! They are all traitors, traitors! 』

Then there were also some voices echoing, shouting and drinking, which immediately dropped the temperature in the small private room. It was like suddenly realizing that they were not sitting in a small private room in a restaurant, but naked in the wild.

Or maybe this place with carved beams and painted buildings, feasting and feasting, is actually a fake made of paper, wood or clay.

Xun Wei picked up the wine cup, his expression gradually faded, and he finally sighed.

Jie Yuhua, who was standing by, hurriedly served food to Xun Wei, "Is Xun Langjun also worried about the war in the world?"

"Alas...natural disasters and man-made disasters, why are the people to blame!" Xun Wei drank the wine in the wine cup, shook his head, and looked sad and pitiful.

If Xun Wei's claws could be pulled out of Meiji's arms, it would be better. But there were no outsiders in the private room, so there was no need to pretend too much.

"I have heard something too!" Meiji had to fulfill her duty as a supporting role anyway, and she couldn't let the guests have no place to reply, "I heard that someone has reported to the public these days to impeach Prime Minister Cao! !"

"Is that so? 'Impeaching the prime minister is naturally a big deal, but for Xun Wei, it is not a new thing at all, so he just smiled and responded casually, without expanding on this topic.

And Xun Wei also heard that something more terrible happened in Jizhou...

Impeaching Prime Minister Cao is naturally very exciting in the eyes of these ordinary people, but it is only a verbal impeachment after all, and the real problems in Shandong are far more serious than the tip of the iceberg shown.

For a few days, Xun Wei has been thinking about these things.

On the surface, impeaching Cao Cao for being domineering, monopolizing power, nepotism, corruption and other crimes are not the most important...

The important thing is that Cao Cao lost!

If Cao Cao had won all the way, there would be no nonsense, and no one would jump out to impeach him!

The Zhang scholar who thought he represented the will of the people and spoke for the people was just a poor guy who was sold out and counted money for others. He was passionate but had no brains, so he became the object of others' use and acted as a charging soldier. Even if he died, no one would remember him.

The reason why the soldier was pushed up first was because...

Xun Wei received the news that Yecheng, Jizhou, was in chaos and Cao Pi almost died in the chaos!

If he received the news, then others would also receive the news!

"What a pity..." Thinking of this, Xun Wei couldn't help but murmured.

If Cao Pi really died, it would be a thunderbolt that set off the fire!

Now it's a little short of the fire.

However, it's okay.

Yecheng is in the heart of Jizhou, but the cavalry rushed in!

When the news came, Xun Wei repeatedly confirmed it, and after confirming it, he still couldn't believe it for a long time.

Meiji turned around, "What's a pity, Xun Langjun? '

Xun Wei was stunned, and then said: 'It's a pity that there are fewer loyal ministers and good generals in this world...'

The 'loyal ministers and good generals' of Jizhou worked together to pit Cao Pi, and then fished Cao Pi out of the mud pit. This method is simply wonderful.

'That's right...' Mei Ji did not doubt him, and added more wine to Xun Wei's empty wine cup, 'If there were more patriots like Xun Langjun, the world would have been peaceful long ago...'

A group of people praised Xun Wei again.

Those who come here to spend money are naturally the boss.

Xun Wei laughed on his face, but his annoyance did not decrease at all. The Jizhou guys took action, and it seems that after beating Cao Pi, Cao Pi will definitely be quiet for a while, and will definitely share more benefits. The Jizhou guys are happy, so what about Yuzhou Yingchuan now?

Impeaching Cao Cao is just the first step, what will these guys do next?

How can I benefit from this?

How can I fight against Xun Yu?

While thinking, I suddenly heard some chaotic noises coming from the street, and someone screamed at the door of the restaurant.

Xun Wei was startled, and then heard the cold sound of armor colliding. He shuddered and stood up, pushed open the window, and looked down.

He drank and had fun in the restaurant, not knowing the sun and the moon. Now the red sun has risen, illuminating the whole street, and also shining on the armor and weapons of those soldiers, making Xun Wei tremble.

Cheng Yu on the street seemed to feel Xun Wei's gaze, so he looked up and met Xun Wei's eyes.

Cheng Yu was tall and long-legged, sitting on the horse's back, and he looked even more extraordinary. When he saw Xun Wei, he did not show any contempt for Xun Wei's disheveled clothes, but just raised his hand slightly and pointed.

The Cao army soldiers also looked in the direction Cheng Yu pointed, and immediately shouted a few times, and rushed into the restaurant with a few soldiers!

Xun Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face pale, stumbled and pushed the beauty beside him away, and did not bother to put on shoes, opened the door and fled to the back of the restaurant!

Of course, Xun Wei could also bet that Cheng Yu came to him to drink and whore...

But this possibility is really too low, so low that the sun rising from the west is more likely than Cheng Yu inviting him to drink!

Xun Wei certainly knows what Cheng Yu did under Cao Cao.

Xun Wei would rather meet Man Chong than fall into Cheng Yu's hands!

If he fell into Cheng Yu's hands, he could not guarantee that he would become military rations at any time!

Most restaurants are built like a U-shaped, with a stage in the middle and corridors and private rooms around, so there is more than one up and down passage.

Cao's soldiers rushed into the restaurant, startling many hangover people, and then they fell to the ground like gourds, screaming and stumbling.

Relying on his familiarity with the restaurant's terrain, Xun Wei climbed up to the roof of the house next to the restaurant from the window of a room at the corner. Xun Wei tried to keep his footsteps as light as possible so as not to make any noise when stepping on the tiles, but unfortunately he forgot one thing.

It was not night.

If it was at night, with unclear vision, he might have sneaked away...

But now the sun has risen, and it is bright everywhere. As soon as he walked to the roof of the house next to the restaurant, he was immediately seen by the Cao army soldiers.

As the Cao army soldiers shouted, several arrows flew over and hit Xun Wei's thigh!

Xun Wei wailed and rolled down from the roof...
