Han Dao world

Chapter 192 Different Choices
Outside Yongqiu City, there are many new graves.

Xun Yu stood in the center, lingering with each other, with a desolate expression.

In front of him, there are two new graves, one belongs to Zhang Miao and the other belongs to Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao died right in front of him.

He interceded for Zhang Chao, but Cao Cao refused.

Just like in Xuzhou last year, Cao Cao was so jealous that he couldn't listen to anyone's words.

Xun Yu was confused.

Is Cao Cao the person he hopes to assist?
As long as there is only one state, they dare to kill recklessly and massacre the city at every turn.The future will be great, who can stop him from killing people?
Brother Zhang Miao was by no means the last sacrifice.

Xun Yu let out a deep breath, feeling sad.

Once upon a time, Zhang Miao was Yuan Shao's close friend, running back and forth for Yuan Shao, raising money and food for Cao Cao's army, but now he has ended up like this, which is definitely not what he expected at the beginning.

"A Weng, A Weng." Xun Yun ran over holding the hem of his clothes, carefully letting the new mud pass, so as not to dirty the hem of the clothes, shoes and socks.

Xun Yu frowned slightly.

Xun Yun was startled, quickly slowed down, and handed over a green pouch with both hands. "Yes...it's a letter from the sister of the Tang family."

Xun Yu raised his eyebrows, then rushed over, took the green pouch from Xun Yun's hand, untied the ribbon, and took out the bamboo slips inside.

The clay seal on the bamboo slips is intact, but there are familiar handwriting on the inscription.

Princess Hongnong asked Xun Jun Wenruo.

Xun Yu heaved a sigh of relief, held the bamboo slips in both hands, and bowed to heaven twice.

A few years ago, the Li Jue Department of the Xiliang Army plundered Yingchuan, and many people were lost. Princess Hongnong was among them.In the past few years, he has been inquiring about the news of Princess Hongnong, but there is no trace of her whereabouts.

He thought Princess Hongnong was dead.

In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs, and countless people died in the ravine, no matter whether you are noble or not.

When he suddenly received a message from her, he was as calm as him, but he couldn't help but lose his composure.

Xun Yu hastily knocked off the mud seal, unfolded the bamboo slips, and began to read in the new grave.

Xun Yun stood aside, not daring to move, secretly looking at Xun Yu's face.

The joy on Xun Yu's face became more and more intense, a smile burst from the corner of his eyes, and finally he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xun Yun was puzzled.

What exactly did Princess Hongnong say in her letter that made her father so happy?

After reading the letter, Xun Yu put away the bamboo slips, turned his head to look at the new graves of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, and bowed in obeisance.

"Meng Zhuo, Meng Gao, let's just say goodbye. When the world is at peace and the emperor returns to Luoyang, I will come to see you again and move your graves back to your hometown."

Xun Yun heard it clearly, and couldn't help but ask, "Ah Weng, are you leaving Cao Mu?"

"The Son of Heaven calls me, how can I not go?" Xun Yu snorted, and strode towards the carriage parked by the roadside.

-

Cao Cao raised his head in surprise, and stared at Xun Yu again and again.

"The emperor... summoned you to go?"

Xun Yu lowered his head slightly, his face had regained his composure. "The son of heaven has to go to the sky to decree, aiming at Zhongxing, and summons me to go."

"But... Yanzhou Chuding, I can't do without Wen Ruo here." Cao Cao leaned back on the table, raised his hands and pinched the center of his brows, with a look of reluctance.

Xun Yu smiled. "Tao Qian is dead, and Lu Bu is running eastward to join forces with Liu Bei. With the majesty of the public, it is like turning back the palm of your hand. Why should you bow down? And the envoy not only holds the imperial seal and ribbon, but also has the position of a tribute. If you don't go, you will be respected. Wouldn't it be a pity to criticize, even to envoy the emperor's loyalty."

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows lightly, pondered for a while, and nodded slightly.

"What Wen Ruo said is also reasonable. The imperial edict cannot be violated. Since the emperor has the ambition of rejuvenation, we as ministers should drive away. Not to mention Wen Ruo, even if it is me, if there is an imperial edict, I should go there and not give up. day and night."

He stood up, walked up to Xun Yu, and held Xun Yu's hands.

"Wen Ruo plans to leave when, I will see you farewell."

Xun Yu also stood up, broke free from Cao Cao's hand calmly, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness. It's just that the current situation is so difficult and you are busy with the military and government, so there is no need to make such an empty gift. I will leave early tomorrow morning. If you don’t bring anyone else, your little son Changqian can accompany you and serve you.”

Cao Cao sighed. "The Son of Heaven has Wen Ruo's assistance, and the great man will be able to thrive. In front of the Son of Heaven, I still hope that Wen Ruo will give you a lot of good words. Yanzhou is broken, and I can't bear the burden."

Xun Yu took a step back, bowed and bowed again, then turned and left.

Cao Cao walked to the door, watched Xun Yu's figure disappear into the distance, and sighed faintly.

Guo Jia walked over from the side, looked at the distance, and then at Cao Cao.

"My lord, if Xun Wen is far away, don't look any further."

Cao Cao turned around and returned to the hall, took his seat again, fiddled with the cutlery on the table, frowned, and pondered for a long time.

"Feng Xiao, is it because of Brother Zhang Mengzhuo?"

Guo Jia sat down beside him. "The way is different, and we don't conspire with each other. If Xun Wen pursues the kingly way, but the kingly way is not available, no matter where he is, it will be difficult for him to get what he wants. When he resigned from Yecheng, today he resigned from the lord, and he will inevitably resign from the emperor in the future."

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and couldn't help laughing out loud.He raised his hand and pointed at Guo Jia, hesitant to speak.

Guo Jia said again: "But the Son of Heaven is recruiting talents from all over the world. I'm afraid Wen Ruo is not the only one who should be recruited. My lord should make some preparations."

Cao Cao nodded, the smile on his face fading.

When Xun Yu asked to resign, he thought of this.

When Xun Yu left, it wasn't just Xun Yu who left, but a large group of people.

Fortunately, Guo Jia will not leave.

"The world belongs to the Liu family. If the emperor wants to recruit talents, who can resist the imperial edict?" Cao Cao said unhurriedly, "However, it is not me who needs to worry most, but Yuan Benchu. Feng Xiao, you say, the emperor defeated Li. After jue, will he return to Chang'an, will he return to Luoyang?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "If Xun Wen travels westward, it is unlikely that the Son of Heaven will return to Luoyang, otherwise he needn't be so anxious."

"Chang'an?"

"Chang'an is Xijing. The mountains and rivers are dangerous and solid. It is a place for hegemony in troubled times. Although Li Jue and Guo Si have been in trouble for several years, ten rooms are empty, but the emperor is here, and the fleeing people will return to the sea like a hundred rivers. It will not take a few years. Rejuvenate."

Guo Jia paused, and then said: "Besides, Chang'an is far away from the battlefield in the Central Plains, so we can avoid facing Yuan Shao directly. My lord, you are between the two Yuans, you have no support behind you, and you are surrounded by enemies on all sides, so you have to be careful."

Cao Cao raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow, frowning. "Can Fengxiao have a plan to solve the problem?"

"My lord, do you think the world will belong to Liu Hu and Yuan Hu?" Guo Jia asked in the same tone as Cao Cao just now.

Cao Cao raised his eyelids, looked at Guo Jia, and laughed dumbfoundedly. "Feng Xiao, where do you start? This world belongs to the Liu family."

"My lord, the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. If this is the will of heaven, even if Yuan Shao is not the destiny of heaven, the great Han Zhongxing is still a flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water is beyond reach. My lord, it is impossible to lose the talents of the world. regulation?"

Cao Cao rolled his eyes and sat up straight. "Feng Xiao thinks that the great man cannot be revived?"

"It's too early to say at this time." Guo Jia smiled slightly. "The minister is just reminding the lord, don't make a choice lightly, so as not to be controlled by others and not free."
