Han Dao world

Chapter 208
Xun You led Xun Yu to the tent.

As the most important servant of the emperor, he has a tent of his own, so he doesn't have to be crowded with others.

After entering the tent and taking off his dusty coat, Xun Yu sat on the couch, looking through the gap in the tent door to the fire in the distance.

The emperor was still by the fire, his back like a bow.

"Gongda, what do you think of him?" Xun Yu raised his chin.

"The concubine of the Emperor of Qin and Han Wu." Xun You said without hesitation: "It's a pity that you are rarely lost, and you don't know the scriptures of sages. If you have a sage to assist you and teach you the way of kings, you should be a hero of the generation."

Xun Yu looked away and looked at Xun You. "Did he act inappropriately?"

Xun You nodded. "Wei Gu and Fan Xian took Taiwei Yang Biao and rebelled. The emperor's royal conquest was personally conscripted. The governor of Hedong, Wang Yi, saw that he was falsely accused, and he became a court captain. He was humiliated. After returning to Hedong, the emperor used my strategy to surround Wei's family. If you don’t attack, you will be self-sufficient with the food stored in the nearby counties.”

"What's wrong with that?"

Xun You smiled wryly. "The Son of Heaven told Shang Shuling Pei Mao that no matter what method Pei Mao uses, he must raise enough food for half a month for the army within two days. Today is the second day, only Wenxi has brought food, and the other counties... "

"What happened to the other counties?" Xun Yu looked at Xun You puzzled. "The Son of Heaven is in distress. Isn't it a matter of course to take the food stored in the counties to save the emergency? After Dong Zhuo's death, there has been no major war in the past few years in Hedong, so the counties should have some stored food."

Xun You smiled wryly and shook his head. "How many states and counties in the world still have the imperial court in their hearts? There is no grain in the warehouse in Anyi County, and the warehouse in Anyi County is not much better. I don't know if Situ and Sikong have raised grain. If Wei Wei If the attack is blocked, the Taiwei's command may be affected again."

"The Taiwei is in charge of the army?" Xun Yu's heart moved, and his tone became a little urgent.

Xun You glanced at Xun Yu, and the helplessness in his eyes was even heavier.

"Uncle, don't be too happy. There may be a chance for Situ to be in charge of the people, but it is very difficult for the Taiwei to be in charge of the army. You have also seen that the emperor puts on a strong and stubborn sword, and wants to be the emperor immediately. How can the Taiwei divide the power? "

Xun Yu nodded, but he was not as pessimistic as Xun You. "Even if you are an immediate emperor, you have only fought for more than ten years. Situ governing the people is a long-term career. Chen Zhongju and Li Yuanli have fought for this opportunity? Gongda, you can't be confused by the present and forget the long-term plan. "

Xun You disagrees. "Uncle, the Son of Heaven is young, I am afraid that if he has the heart to fight, he will go all out to fight, and he will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty."

Xun Yu stroked his short beard under his jaw, his eyes flickering.

"Gongda, tell me about what you have been through since you became an official."

Xun You was already prepared and signaled to Xun Yu not to rush, they had plenty of time.

The emperor asked him to place Xun Yu for this purpose.

After washing, the two went to bed, hugged the quilt, and talked.

Xun You talked about the emperor's ambition to rejuvenate the great man, about the ambitions of Jia Xu and Xiliang people, about the hope of Situ Zhao Wen, Wei Weishi Sun Rui and others to regain power, and also about the emperor's order of Yang Xiu to assist Yang Ding, and the arrangement of Confucian scholars for The actions of the teachers in the army also revealed the emperor's intention to drive the Huns out of the frontier.

Xun Yu listened quietly, frowning more and more.

It is a good thing for the Son of Heaven to have ambitions, and it is also reasonable for the ministers to want to be in power - they have been fighting with their relatives and eunuchs for hundreds of years, and it is also a good thing for the people of Xiliang to fight for the right to speak - they want to make meritorious deeds. Better than wanton killing.

But it is not necessarily a good thing to have so many ideas tangled together.

The most unfavorable thing is that the emperor may form an alliance with the warriors, turning civil officials into vassals like swordsmen.

This is not the kingly way Confucianism hopes.

The emperor's reliance on Yang Feng is also worrying.

This shows that the emperor's move against the Hedong family is by no means a temporary expedient measure, but may be a rehearsal instead.

Restraining cum is not a bad thing, but acting too hastily is often the root of disaster.

"Gongda, don't worry too much about assisting the emperor in the battle." Xun Yu made a decision after a long consideration. "Since the Son of Heaven asked me to see Situ, I have some concerns when I think about it, and I hope to have a perfect plan. At this time, you and I should work together with the Son of Heaven to overcome the difficulties. We must not use our emotions to give up food because of choking."

Xun You nodded in agreement.

Xun Yu first abandoned Yuan Shao in favor of Cao Cao, and now he abandons Cao Cao in favor of the Son of Heaven, which shows that neither Yuan Shao nor Cao Cao is an ideal monarch.In contrast, the Son of Heaven is young, his administration is shallow, and he still has the opportunity to make corrections.

-

Early the next morning, Xun Yu was woken up by the sound outside.

He turned over and saw that Xun You had disappeared.

He sat up, only to realize that his whole body was sore.He was very tired from the bumpy ride all the way.I didn't feel it on the road, but after sleeping all night, I realized how tired I was.

But he still insisted on getting up, and first did a few guides in the tent to relieve a little fatigue, then he put on his coat and went out of the big tent.

There was a lot of excitement in front of me.

The Son of Heaven is practicing swordsmanship, and his opponent is a young tiger, and a middle-aged warrior is guiding him beside him.

The Son of Heaven is very respectful to the middle-aged warriors, he obeys his disciples and obeys his advice.

Xun Yu couldn't help taking another look, and vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be Wang Yue, a famous swordsman in Luoyang, whom he had met when he was in Luoyang.Wang Yue is quite well-known among knight-errants and swordsmen. Both He Yong and Xu You admired his swordsmanship and recommended him to Yuan Shao.

But Yuan Shao didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yue has now become the emperor's master of swordsmanship.

Xun Yu couldn't help shaking his head.

From the power in the court to a swordsman, almost everything in the Son of Heaven was once within Yuan Shao's fingertips, but Yuan Shao either voluntarily gave it up or missed it.

This may be God's will.

"Uncle, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Xun You rushed over. "Did you wake up? The emperor was worried that you could not sleep well, so he specially asked everyone to keep their voices down. It is usually more lively."

Xun Yu's heart warmed up. "The emperor wakes up early every day to practice martial arts?"

"In troubled times, it is human nature to practice martial arts for self-defense. What is rare is that the Son of Heaven is very strict in self-discipline, practicing every day and never letting up." Xun You said with a smile: "He can cut off Li Jue's head with one blow, It is the fruit of hard work.”

"How is it compared to you?" Xun Yu asked.

"Right now, he is not as good as me, but he has a very high understanding and is willing to endure hardships. It is only a matter of time before he surpasses me."

"Since Wang Yue is the teacher, why not persuade the emperor to practice swords? The sword is the overlord, and the sword is the gentleman's weapon."

Xun You laughed silently. "Uncle might as well give advice and see how the emperor responds."

Xun Yu looked at Xun You, said nothing, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the emperor.

Seeing Xun Yu approaching, Liu Xie put away the long knife in his hand, held it upside down, and said with a smile, "Sorry, I woke up Mr. Xun."

Xun Yu smiled. "It's not His Majesty's voice practicing martial arts that alarms the ministers, but His Majesty's domineering. When the sword arrives, it's like a tiger roaring and the wind blowing. It's more than violent, but not gentle enough. It's not as good as a sword, like a dragon making rain, clouds steaming and clouds blooming, and it's magnificent. Spectacular."
