Han Dao world

Chapter 565
Liu He and Yuan Tan bid farewell, crossed Yishui, got on their horses, and headed for Xianyufu's camp.

Standing on the south bank of Yishui, Yuan Tan watched Liu He's back disappear among the green willows on the official road, feeling inexplicably desolate in his heart.Although it is early summer in April, the wind is full of chill.

Liu He finally chose the imperial court.

When he went outside the Great Wall, he naturally saw Xun You.If nothing else happened, Koji should be there too.Taking Zhuojun, passing through Juyongguan, and entering Shanggu is the most convenient way for Quyi to escape.Under the cover of Xian Yufu and others, Yuan Shao could neither detect nor chase.

It was expected that Qu Yi would leave Yuan Shao.His identity as a Liangzhou native made him deeply excluded, and the emperor's great victory in Liangzhou exacerbated the discord between him and the Jizhou natives. Leaving is the best choice.But Liu He finally chose to leave out of disappointment with Yuan Shao.

In order to appease the people in northern Hebei, Yuan Shao had to arbitrarily confer titles and honors, and gave up his plan to compromise with the court.If Liu He doesn't leave, it will be tantamount to betraying the court and attaching himself to Yuan Shao.

Three years ago, Liu He might have hesitated.

But now, he has no need to take risks.

Everyone knows that Yuan Shao has been threatened by Jizhou people and cannot escape.

As Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan also thought so, but he couldn't wave away like Liu He.

Yuan Tan sighed and returned to the carriage.

Guo Tu sat across from him, resting his chin on his hands, looking out the window in a daze.When Yuan Tan sat down, Guo Tu slowly turned his head and looked at Yuan Tan. "Xiansi, I think you should accept Liu Gongheng's suggestion just now."

Yuan Tan was taken aback, raised his head, and looked at Guo Tu in puzzlement. "Mister also thinks that I should stay in Hebei?"

Guo Tu nodded. "This crossing of the river seems to have sufficient troops, but it is actually fishing. In case of setbacks, I am afraid that we will not be able to fight anymore. Jizhou is the foundation, and someone should stay behind. .”

Yuan Tan remained silent.He knew that northern Jibei was the line of life and death, but he knew better that it would be useless for him to stay in northern Jibei when all the people in northern Jibei supported Yuan Xi.If it's just Xian Yufu, he can still fight, and with Xun You, he has no chance at all.

"Do you think you can get support when you arrive in Yanyu?" Guo Tu said with a wry smile: "Under the situation of the emperor Xiu Tuze's great victory, how many people dare to support you father and son and oppose the court? Even if there are, Yanyu has no chance It can only be used, and we can only watch the Jizhou people fight and make meritorious deeds."

Yuan Tan was astonished.

He knew that Guo Tu had always been conceited, and he would never say such frustrating words without special reasons.

"Sir, could it be..."

Guo Tu did not respond to Yuan Tan's temptation. "If you stay in northern Hebei, even if Xun Gongda comes to attack, at least your life will be saved." He paused, and then said: "If you can persuade the Lord to keep Xun Xiuruo (Xun Yan), then you will be more confident .”

Yuan Tan thought for a long time. "What if father marches smoothly?"

"The crown prince supervises the country, and it is an ancient system." Guo Tu smiled. "If the lord marches smoothly and takes Yanyu into his pocket, and Yanyu's talent enters the scene, they will only become your supporters. What do you have to worry about?"

Yuan Tan's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "In that case, Mr. Yi."

-

Liu He came to Xian Yufu's camp and reined in his mount.

A personal guard stepped forward to report.

After a short time, Xian Yufu rushed out in stride, loudly ordered people to open the gate of the camp, and walked in front of Liu He. "Gongheng, you're here." As she spoke, she shed tears.

Liu He got off his horse and took Xian Yufu's hand. "Brother Xianyu, I..." He looked ashamed and didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Xian Yufu laughed, and pulled Liu He inside. "Gongheng, since we're here, don't say anything. Drink, let's get drunk today, forget everything before, and start over."

"Okay, let's start again." Liu He also smiled, and entered the camp with Xian Yufu.

Not long after they arrived at the tent, Xian Yuyin, Qi Zhou and others also arrived.After a while, Yan Rou also came.They surrounded Liu He, talking and laughing, beaming with joy.

Liu He left Yuan Shao, and they no longer have any worries.

"Where is Qu Yuntian?" Liu He asked.

"He has already arrived at Baishan." Yan Rou said with a smile: "Xun Gongda admired him very much and ordered him to take charge of the infantry, and now he is also a general with thousands of elites."

"Really?" Liu He was surprised and delighted.

Even if the soldiers and the people outside the Great Wall are united, but the population is small, if you can have thousands of elite soldiers, you will be a very important general.What's more, there are many cavalry outside the Great Wall and few infantry. Thousands of infantry are no less significant than ten thousand cavalry.

"Xun Gongda hopes that he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Gao Ziping (Gao Shun)." Yan Rou squeezed her eyes.

Suddenly, Liu He pointed at Yan Rou. "You cunning Wuhuan'er, no wonder Qu Yuntian didn't care about anything, and ran away without even notifying me, which made me very embarrassed."

Yan Rou laughed out loud with indescribable satisfaction.

Xun You is from Yingchuan, but the two generals under him are both Lu Bu's former troops.Now that there is Qu Yi, a native of Liangzhou, Xun You has room for balance, and it is only logical to reuse Qu Yi.

Although Qu Yi was from Liangzhou, his ancestors were from Qingzhou Plain, and he always regarded himself as a Kanto native, but the real Kanto people did not recognize him.Xun You attaches great importance to him, and his long-cherished wish is fulfilled, which is also a happy event.

Qu Yi decided to leave Yuan Shao and go to Xun You because he got Xun You's promise, and Yan Rou was the one who agreed with him.

Liu He had guessed it a long time ago, and he was not surprised to get Yan Rou's personal confirmation today.He took advantage of the situation and asked: "Zigang, how will Xun Duhu treat me?"

Yan Rou and Xian Yufu exchanged a look and smiled knowingly.

As they expected, although Liu He had made a choice, he still had no idea what the court would do with him.

"Do you know Xun Yun, the son of Xun Wenruo?"

"I know, I met him once when I was in Luoyang."

"He followed Ke Bineng to the Western Regions."

Liu He was slightly taken aback. "Go to the Western Regions?"

Yan Rou nodded and told about Xun Yun.He has always been in touch with Ke Bineng. Before Ke Bineng set off for the Western Regions, he wrote a long letter to him, and the writer was Xun Yun.They were also very surprised to learn that Xun Yun followed Ke Bineng to the west and wanted to expand the territory in the Western Regions.

Xun Yu is the Yin of Hedong, and he presides over the implementation of the kingly way in Hedong.Xun You is in Danhan Mountain and will soon be the Protector of Youyan.Xun Yu's daughter Xun Wenqian has become a nobleman and has just given birth to the eldest son of the emperor.The Xun family in Yingchuan paid equal attention to both internal and external, and it was inevitable to become a powerful minister.

At this time, the emperor can still let Xun Yun go westward with Ke Bi Neng, and expand the territory thousands of miles away.

No matter what the reason is, it can explain one thing, the advantages of cooperating with Xun You outweigh the disadvantages, and there is a basic guarantee for safety.

Even if the emperor turns his face in the future and wants to eradicate the Xun family, can he still drive Xun Yun who is thousands of miles away?
The Xun family has a way out, so they don't have to worry too much.

After listening to Yan Rou's narration, Liu He was finally relieved.

As a clan, he has advantages over Yan Rou and others.Taking a step back, even if he doesn't gain the trust of the emperor, he can still make contributions with Xun You, without worrying about being left idle.
