Han Dao world

Chapter 179
Yang Feng invited Xun You into the atrium, divided the guests and hosts into seats, and asked Xun You about his visit.

Xun You bluntly said that due to the blockage of the road, he could not go to Shu County to take up his post, so he had to return to the imperial court to return his order, passing through here.

Yang Feng didn't think much about it, he said a few words with emotion, and kindly invited Xun You to stay here and wait for the emperor to come.After being rejected by Xun You, he took the next best thing and asked Xun You to stay overnight in the mansion.Tomorrow morning, send chariots and horses to send Xun You westward.

Xun You readily accepted.

Yang Feng was overjoyed and ordered people to prepare a banquet to entertain Xun You.

In order to show grandeur, he not only ordered people to slaughter cattle and sheep, but also summoned several trusted generals to accompany him.

These people are all from the Baibo Army.A slightly better family is nothing more than a small property, more than enough food and clothing, and a rough knowledge of a few words, not to mention reading and studying the classics.In front of Xun You, they seemed embarrassed, made frequent mistakes, and became more and more nervous.

Seeing this, Xun You couldn't help feeling puzzled.

Can such a group of people really defeat Li Jue?
Out of curiosity, Xun You asked about the battle.

As soon as they mentioned the war, Yang Feng and others immediately regained their spirits.

Yang Feng was the first to talk about the emperor's regard for him, especially encouraging him to establish his own family.Thinking of that scene, Yang Feng couldn't help sighing, the excitement in his heart was the same as before.

The generals felt the same way. They talked about how the emperor and the soldiers ate and lived together, and discussed how to improve tactics and adjust positions, which laid a solid foundation for defeating Zhang Xiu and Li Ying.

Regarding Yang Feng's cowardice for a while, he did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and missed the opportunity of the battle, they tacitly kept silent.

They talked a lot about Yang Feng and Guo Wu attacking and beheading Li Wei in front of the battle, and intentionally or unintentionally blurred the person who killed Li Wei, so that people would think it was Yang Feng who accidentally killed Li Wei.

Xun You listened very carefully, and asked a few questions from time to time, arousing Yang Feng and others' conversation and pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

Yang Feng was in high spirits and talked loudly until he was very drunk.

Guests are happy.

Early the next morning, Xun You set off and traveled westward in the chariot and horse provided by Yang Feng.

-

Tongguan.

Liu Xie stood on the plateau with his hands behind his back, looking at the big river in the distance and the mountains on the other side of the big river, feeling deeply moved.

At this time, Tongguan was just a fortress, not large in scale, but the terrain was extremely dangerous.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that one man guards the gate and ten thousand men are in charge.

Tongguan is well-known, thanks to Ma Chao.

In Romance, in the battle of Tongguan, Ma Chao beat Cao Cao to the point of cutting off his beard and robe, and he was in a terrible embarrassment.

In history, this battle was a wonderful battle in which Cao Cao beat east and west and won by surprise.

It's just that the history is not as exciting as the Romance, and most people prefer Xiao Xianrou Jin Ma Chao, so the story of cutting beards and robes is more widely spread.

"When was Tongguan built?" Liu Xie asked.

It is said that Tongguan was built by Cao Cao. Now it seems that this statement is absolutely unreliable.

Lan Tai ordered Shi Caiyan to hold a scroll of wooden slips, thought for a while, and reached out to brush a strand of hair from his temple.

"When the gate was established, I haven't seen it in the history books. But there was a peach forest in the Jin Dynasty, so I think it has something to do with it."

"What is Tao Lin Sai?" Dong Wan poked her head over and looked at Cai Yan curiously. "There are no peaches here."

"My lord, that area is the ancient peach forest. In spring, the valley is full of peach blossoms, and it is so beautiful." Cai Yan pointed to the east. "It is said that Kuafu chased the sun and came here. Because of thirst, he drank up the river first. Still not enough, he went to drink the Weishui again, and died before reaching it. Throwing his staff, it turned into a peach forest."

Dong Wan's eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed. "It's amazing. Is there really such a person?"

Cai Yan couldn't help laughing. "Kuafu is a god, but it's hard to say whether it's true or not. His story is not found in official history, only "Shan Hai Jing" and "Lie Zi" have records. It is not ruled out that there may be future generations attached to it."

Dong Wan was a little disappointed and didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Xie was a little more interested. "The origins of "Shan Hai Jing" and "Lie Zi" are suspicious?"

Cai Yan nodded. "These two ancient books have been mentioned a long time ago, but only a handful of people have seen them. Even the erudite Tai Shigong also felt that the "Shan Hai Jing" was unreasonable, and he never elaborated on it. It was Liu Xiang who officially mentioned these two ancient books. , Liu Xin and his son. In order to help Wang Mang usurp the Han Dynasty, Liu Xin fabricated a lot of fake books when he borrowed school books, and the possibility of these two books is also fabricated."

Speaking of academics, Cai Yan is in high spirits and speaks eloquently.

Liu Xie listened with great interest, but Dong Wan felt bored and turned around to play.

Seeing this, Wang Yue ordered Shi A to follow.Here the building is high and the ditch is deep. If you fall, you may die directly.

Cai Yan talked for a while, then suddenly changed the subject. "Your Majesty, I have re-read "Tai Shi Gong Shu" these two days, and suddenly I have a feeling."

Liu Xie turned to look at Cai Yan and smiled.

Cai Yan pursed his lips. "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Wang Situ once said that "Tai Shi Gong Shu" is a slander?"

"remember."

"In fact, it has been said that "Tai Shi Gong Shu" is a slander book for a long time, and it can even be traced back to Xiaowu at the earliest. Tai Shi Gong probably knew this, so he never thought of publishing it to the world, but hid it in famous mountains."

"Could this be the reason why "The Chronicle of Xiaowu" is missing?"

"Yes, but not quite."

"Why?"

""The Benji of Xiaowu", that is, the "Jin Shang Benji" in Tai Shigong's book is no longer written by Tai Shigong. How to criticize Xiaowu is hard to study. However, there are still traces in other chapters that have been preserved."

Cai Yan paused, turned his head to look around calmly, and said softly: "For example, "Biography of Scholars" and "Biography of Cool Officials."

Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan, waiting for the next text.

He has read "Historical Records", but he has a rough idea, but not the details.

Let him go to the book now, he may not be able to see the problem.

Cai Yan was disturbed by Liu Xie, and his eyes were puzzled. "Your Majesty... haven't you read these two articles? I have read them since I was thirteen years old."

Liu Xie was hurt.

Even though "he" is very smart, as far as reading is concerned, compared with a top student like Cai Yan, he is really mediocre.

Even Yang Xiu, the true scholar, is very convinced of Cai Yan in private.

"Ling Shi, can you stop looking at me like this? Not everyone has a father who has a collection of thousands of volumes and is proficient in classics, and not everyone can remember as well as Ling Shi."

Cai Yan lowered his head in embarrassment. "Your Majesty is sorry for your impoliteness."

"It doesn't matter if it's not a crime, please tell me carefully, what are the criticisms in these two articles."

"Wei!" Cai Yan responded, considering his words.

I said it casually before, without the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, but I can no longer be so casual in the future.

Just because His Majesty doesn't mind, doesn't mean others don't mind.In case of being impeached, the removal from the office is a small matter, but the damage to His Majesty's reputation is a big matter.

While Cai Yan was thinking about what to say, Pei Qian walked over quickly.

"Your Majesty, Governor of Shu County, Yingchuan Xunyou, please see me."

Surprised and delighted, Liu Xie repeatedly ordered Pei Qian to invite Xun You to see him.

Pei Qian turned around and left.

Cai Yan felt relieved, and then remonstrated: "Your Majesty is thirsty for talents. It is rare, but the Xun family in Yingchuan is deeply involved with Yuan Shao. Xun You's intention is not clear, so don't be careless."
