Han Dao world

Chapter 543
Dan Khan Mountain.

Xun You held the rein lightly, two clusters of faint blushes appeared on his face roughened by the wind, but his eyes were more lively, and occasionally flashed sharply, showing no anger and prestige.

Zang Hong rode a yellow puma and followed closely behind.

On the occasion of the New Year, he came to Tanhan Mountain for the reason of his work report, and stayed with Xun You for a month.As he was about to go back, Xun You asked him to go hunting.The two of them walked freely on this endless grassland, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Gongda, the emperor Xiu Tuze won the victory, will he send his troops to the east?" Zang Hong seemed to ask casually, but his mood was inexplicably nervous.

Xun You was silent for a moment, then smiled. "Ziyuan, let me ask you a question."

"You said."

"Do you want to cut off Yuan Shao's head with your own hands, or do you want to see him die in despair?"

Zang Hong thought carefully for a while. "He betrayed his faith and forced to kill his old friends, but beheading him would have made it easier for him. If you seek benevolence, you will get benevolence, and if you seek righteousness, you will get righteousness. Those who betray their trust and righteousness will be betrayed by their relatives. Only then do we know that the way of heaven is permanent, and retribution is not good."

"Then you might as well be patient and wait a few more years." Xun You turned his head to look at the mountains in the distance, but his eyes seemed to pass through Yanshan Mountain, and saw the land of Youyan on the other side of the mountain. "If the Son of Heaven attracts but does not send out, Yuan Shao will be like a frightened bird, panicked. Before the battle, the winner is already divided. How long can he last?"

Zang Hong's eyes flickered slightly. "Is there any news recently?"

The corner of Xun You's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned to look at Zang Hong. "I won't tell you any news, can you go back with peace of mind?"

Zang Hong laughed, but still stared at Xun You's eyes.

Xun You shook his whip. "After the news of the great victory of the Son of Heaven spread to Kanto, Yuan Shao was the most nervous. In order to conquer Yijing as soon as possible, he made a major concession to the people of Jizhou, gathered [-] cavalry, and stormed Yijing."

Zang Hong blinked. "Although Jizhou is a big state, it has been fighting endlessly for more than ten years, and its registered permanent residence is less than half of what it was before. Although one hundred thousand steps is not enough to fish, it can be regarded as going all out. It seems that Yuan Shao is really in a hurry."

He then continued: "Since this is the case, wouldn't the Ruying people's situation be even more embarrassing? Gongda, do they intend to switch to the imperial court? If someone wants to come to Yanmen, you must not stop them. I am alone in Yanmen, too Difficult."

Xun You nodded slightly. "Although the situation is embarrassing, it has not reached the point of despair. If you want to take the opportunity to recruit talents, you have to wait."

Zang Hong said "Oh" and then laughed again. "They are expecting Yuan Shao to conquer Yijing, send troops south, and pacify Yanyu, so that they can seize the opportunity to gain military power and compete with the people of Jizhou?"

Xun You smiled and said nothing. "No, I will never give up until I reach a dead end."

Zang Hong sighed softly. "Ru Ying has many talents, even if she is divided into multiple places, she still cannot be underestimated."

Xun You glanced at Zang Hong, frowning slightly. "Ziyuan, people's mouths make gold, and their bones are destroyed. Ruying people are jealous. If you are not careful in your words and deeds, how can you go far and have a heavy responsibility?"

Zang Hong was a little embarrassed, and smiled embarrassingly, but his mood was inexplicably complicated.

He knew what Xun You was worried about.It is not only Jizhou people who are afraid of Ruying people, but also the emperor.Xun Wenqian gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, but the emperor repeatedly stated that the status of Empress Fushou was unshakable, making it clear that the Xun family should not have unrealistic ambitions.Xun Yu and Xun You were well aware of the pros and cons, and did not dare to express even the slightest dissatisfaction, and took the initiative to avoid suspicion.

It was Xun Yu's decision to send Empress Fushou away.Not only that, but Xun Yu also sent his son Xun Yun to the emperor as a man, to put it bluntly, as a hostage.

Xun You's son Xun Ji is also on his way.

Is it possible to escape just by hiding?The Ruying people's strength is there, and they can't hide their clumsiness even if they want to hide it.

Zang Hong thought for a while and cleared his throat. "Gongda, parting is imminent. I don't know when the next meeting will be. There are a few words that come out of my mouth and enter your ears. No third person can hear them. You may wish to listen."

Xun You smiled wryly. "I won't tell you, can you bear it?"

Zang Hong nodded and said: "The five elements must not be messed up, and the five ethics must not be abolished. Since ancient times, Dixiang has been different. Emperor Gao has heroes from Peiguo, Emperor Guangwu has heroes from Nanyang. Today, Zizi rejuvenates the Han Dynasty, and the people of Ruying take credit for it." Zhiwei, how can you miss this opportunity? Do you hope that in the future, most of the court will be Bingliang Wufu?"

Xun You was silent, his face was calm, like an ancient well without waves.

Zang Hong went on to say: "Jizhou is an upper state, but it is difficult to get out of the high school. It is precisely because Jizhou has no foundation in the court. They do not hesitate to risk the world's dissatisfaction and support Yuan Shao. It is precisely because they want to support Yuan Shao with the power of Jizhou , so that Jizhou is the land of dragon prosperity. But Yuan Shao is Ruying people after all, and the ambitions of Jizhou people are doomed to fail. Although they are desperate now, once they react, they may choose another master, and the most suitable..."

Xun You's eyelids trembled slightly, and he waved his hand, interrupting Zang Hong. "Okay, Ziyuan, there's no need to say any more."

Zang Hong still insisted on finishing his opinion. "Don't forget, Xiaohuan and Xiaoling are from Jizhou, and the birth mother of the Son of Heaven is from Zhao. He has half of Jizhou's blood."

Xun You looked back at Zang Hong and suddenly smiled. "Ziyuan, you are right. People in Jizhou may indeed take advantage of this relationship and turn to the emperor, but what's wrong with it? Good morning, the people can finally live and work in peace and contentment. As for the court, the emperor restrained me Ru Ying People, will you let the people of Jizhou sit big? After all, you still spend too little time with the emperor, and you don't know that the emperor has a broad mind."

Zang Hong opened his mouth, but said nothing more.What should be said and what should not be said, he has already said.Xun You is a smart person, he will know what to do, but he may not be able to tell him.

The two of them rode their horses around again, hunted a few hares, and roasted them in the wild, and then they returned happily.

At dusk, Zang Hong set out on his way home and bid farewell to Xun You.

"Ziyuan, between training troops and governing the people, you have to make a choice as soon as possible." Xun You reminded: "Once the Youyan Governor is formally established, Yanmen will no longer be a border county, and the prefect may no longer be in charge of the army." .If you want your son to inherit your father's will and continue to lead the army, you must spend more time practicing martial arts."

Zang Hong bowed his hands and saluted. "Thank you Gongda, I will remember."

Watching Zang Hong lead the county soldiers away gradually, Xun You narrowed his eyes and remained silent.After a long time, he turned his horse's head and ordered: "Pass on my military order, and inform Zhang Liao, the prefect of Shanggu, and Gao Shun, the prefect of Daijun. Each will have Wanqi, and they will meet at Baishan within fifteen days."

The accompanying emissary immediately dismounted, leaned over the saddle and wrote two orders.After Xun You used the seal, he ordered people to send it to Shanggu and Daijun.

Xun You immediately wrote another letter and sent it to Yan Rou, asking him to contact the tribes of Wuhuan.Xianbei in the east responded to Yuan Shao's order and violated the border of the Han Dynasty. He will lead all his tribes to crusade. Whether it is an enemy or a friend, the Wuhuan people must make a choice, not to say that it is unpredictable.
