Chapter 178 The first stroke Chapter 74 Zhao Yun is critically ill
"Yulang, are you sure you don't need to take it back?"

"Well, let's bury it in Xinye. He probably doesn't want to go to Xuchang either."

After setting fire to Xinye County and moving all the nearby people to Wan County, Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin, and Li Dian all returned to their respective defense zones.

He Yan, of course, has to return to Xuchang and continue to be his Xuchang Commander.

Meanwhile, good news came from the north.

Cao Cao once again won a big victory in Cangting, completely eradicating Yuan Shao's power in the south of Dahe, and turning Dahe into his own moat again.

At the same time, after Zhang Liao pacified the State of Lu, he also went to Donghai County with Xia Houyuan to fight against the rebellious Chang Xi.

The difference from history is that under He Yan's reminder, Guo Jia told Zhang Liao and Xia Houyuan that they must kill Chang Xi before they set off to prevent him from rebelling.

With the confidence of a good harvest in the Central Plains, Zhang Liao and Xia Houyuan finally captured Donghai County after fighting Chang Xi for two months, and handed it over to Langya Prime Minister Zang Ba for management.

Since then, the rebellions in the Central Plains have all been quelled, and the two major forces in the south—Jiangdong Sun Quan and Jingzhou Liu Biao have been unable to send troops in a short period of time.

This means that Cao Cao's forces have finally smashed the previous encirclement and can deal with Yuan Shao wholeheartedly.

But not everyone is happy about it...

Xuchang, county government.

The courtesan Xun Yu was sitting on a new batch of chairs in the county government, leaning back hard to experience the sense of stability brought by the backrest.

"Marquis Shen."

"Ok?"

"Liu Bei is really dead?"

He Yan looked at Xun Yu strangely: "I have to lie to you about this? If Mr. Xun Ling doesn't believe it, you can ask Uncle Yuan Rang, he personally captured Liu Bei alive."

"that's not what it means……"

Xun Yu sighed, "It's just that I didn't expect it."

He Yan picked up the cup at the side, poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip: "It's nothing unexpected. Liu Bei always thinks of hitting a rock with an egg, but it's impossible for luck to be on his side every time."

Xun Yu: "..."

Forget it.

Xun Yu thought that as a junior, He Yan probably didn't know Cao Cao's feelings for Liu Bei, and it would only add to his troubles if he said something about it.

"I have sent Changwen (Chen Qun) to see Sun Qian and Mi Zhu. With Changwen's comfort, they should be able to accept it soon."

"It's just Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun...may still need Marquis Shen to persuade them."

After successfully destroying a faction and capturing a group of talents, it is always necessary to go up and persuade them to surrender.

Fortunately, most of Liu Bei's team are from Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and the local ties are very deep.And Chen Qun, the old boss who used to be the second-in-command in Liu Bei (Yuzhou don't drive), tried to persuade them that there was a high probability that they would succeed in ascending Yong and those who had no one to rely on.

But those generals, especially those who came from Youzhou with Liu Bei, these people are all Liu Bei's diehard loyalists, and it is not so easy to persuade them to surrender.

Xun Yu had made up his mind, and when Cao Cao and Zhang Liao came back, they would take turns to sleep with Guan Yu, and Guan Yu should sleep back no matter what.

As for Zhao Yun, it is natural to hand it over to He Yan who has the closest relationship with him!
When Guan Yu and Zhao Yun surrendered, Zhang Fei and Chen Dao were left, wouldn't they be easily captured?

"Don't go!"

When Xun Yu was dreaming, He Yan's sudden refusal made Xun Yu dumbfounded.

"What is the meaning of this, Marquis Shen?"

He Yan sneered: "Heh! Who is going to lick them? Love or not! It's like I owe them!"

Xun Yu:? ? ?

At this time, Lu Xun, the little secretary who had finished processing the official documents, just walked out, and with a movement of his mouth, he thrust a knife into He Yan's chest: "Mr. Xun Ling, you don't know something. Marquis Shen went to General Guan almost every day for the first three days after he returned to Xuchang." Run, but was scolded by General Guan on the first day, chased and beaten out by General Guan on the second day, and General Guan simply refused to let Marquis Shen in on the third day!"

He Yan, who had been exposed, stared at Lu Xun: "I asked you? Today's case is settled?"

"It's over!"

"What about the backlog of files from the first half of this year?"

"It's over!"

"What about the backlog of files from last year?"

Lu Xun showed an expression of "I am proud": "Shenhou, I have already processed all the files since Man Chong left, and the current county government warehouse is cleaner than my face!"

He Yan narrowed his eyes gradually: "Since you are so free, let's practice martial arts with Lu Meng!"

Lu Xun: Σ(っ°Д°;) っ! ! !
"That's it! From today onwards, you will handle official documents at the county government office in the morning, and report to the military camp in the afternoon!"

He Yan's anger caused by Guan Yu hadn't dissipated yet, and Lu Xun was going to shoot He Yan. It can only be said that Lu Xun has been a little skinny since he left the sad land of Jiangdong!

Xun Yu looked at the pale-faced Lu Xun with great interest: "To be able to deal with the backlog of cases in Xuchang in the past one or two years within a month or two, I can see that he is also a capable official!"

Now Xun Yu looked at Lu Xun as if Deng Tuzi had seen the Goddess of Wushan, and the words "coveted" were written all over his face!

"Don't look, he's mine."

Seeing Xun Yu's nymphomaniac look, He Yan hurriedly wanted to stop Xun Yu from prying the corner of the wall.

But Xun Yu's movements were too fast, his ass almost catapulted away, and jumped directly to Lu Xun's side, grabbed his wrist and began to caress recklessly: "Yo! What a handsome gentleman! What's your name?"

Lu Xun immediately withdrew his arm like an electric shock all over his body, and looked at Xun Yu in surprise.

"Xun Lingjun!"

He Yan stared at Xun Yu: "You don't know many great talents? I'm the only one you want to pry?"

Xun Yu became more stubborn at this time: "It is my duty to recommend talents for Sikong! This young man is very capable, and it is really a shame to stay in your Xuchang county government!"

"Stop it!"

He Yan didn't like this.

"This is the person entrusted to me by Marquis Wu, there is no room for loss!"

As soon as he mentioned this, Xun Yu became excited!

"I remember that the last Mrs. Wuhou was also entrusted to you by Wuhou, right? Shenhou, you just take care of her directly?"

He Yan: "..."

It was Lu Xun who understood the righteousness, and stood up to relieve He Yan: "Thank you Xun Lingjun for your love, but after all, I am a low-level official, and I still need to learn from Shenhou. I am afraid that I can take on the big responsibility."

Lu Xun didn't follow He Yan to be an official.

His purpose is very clear, that is, after taking over the military power, one day in the future, he can avenge the tragic death of the Lu family.

If he is pulled into the bureaucracy by Xun Yu now...it will be completely difficult to think of it later!

Hearing Lu Xun's refusal, Xun Yu's eyes were rarely surprised.

Everyone knows that as long as he is recommended by Xun Yu to Cao Cao, he must be able to make a fortune.

Compared with "Xun Lingjun's recommendation", even "ju filial piety" is not enough. It's hard to imagine that such a "stupid" person would reject me.

"His pursuit is different from that of Lu Su."

He Yan also turned his back on some things.

"Just like Guan Yu, no matter how high the conditions we offer, he may not necessarily choose us."

Xun Yu took it back with a big grin just now: "Even Marquis Shen can't do anything? I remember Feng Xiao told me that even Ju Shou and Tian Feng were persuaded by Marquis Shen..."

"That's different!"

He Yan shook his head: "Ju Shou and Tian Feng, Sikong can give them what they want."

"And sometimes even if you can afford something, it depends on whether people want it or not...Anyway, I won't get involved in Guan Yu's matter anymore, and I will settle it myself when Sikong comes back."

Xun Yu naturally understood what He Yan meant.

It is precisely because he can understand that Xun Yu can appreciate the difficulty.

"Marquis Shen, if the worst happens..."

He Yan didn't say anything, but the indifference in his eyes answered Xun Yu's question.

Seeing He Yan's expression, Xun Yu frowned and said, "Marquis Shen, why do I feel that you have changed?"

He Yan, who went to Xinye, seemed to be carrying a bit of hostility.

This kind of change can't be said to be good or bad, but Xun Yu still didn't want He Yan to take an extreme path.

He Yan closed his eyes, acquiescing to Xun Yu's words.

Liu Bei's stubbornness really made him a little more eager.

He didn't want to see more "Liu Bei" die foolishly because of that iron chain, because of that iron curtain.

Those people should have become a better version of themselves, to see a wider world, instead of being confined in the cage created for them by the powerful, becoming a walking dead.

"Marquis Shen."

Xun Yu saw some shadows of himself in He Yan's eyes.

"If you accumulate soil to form mountains, wind and rain will prosper; if you accumulate water to form abyss, you will have dragons. If you accumulate goodness and virtue, you will become self-satisfied with the gods, and your holy heart will be prepared. Therefore, if you don't accumulate small steps, you won't be able to reach thousands of miles. If you don't accumulate small streams, you will not be able to form rivers and seas. "

Xun Yu is like an earnestly teaching elder, calming He Yan's turbulent emotions with wisdom and experience.

"I used to be the same as Marquis Shen, wanting to cut the mess quickly... But the melancholy in the world just keeps cutting, and the reason is still chaotic. No one can do anything about it."

"If you're really distracted, it's better to wait for a while, maybe the turning point will be right in front of you."

He Yan, who was distracted by Xun Yu, bit his lip, and thanked Xun Yu after a while: "Mr. Xun Ling, you have been taught."

He Yan also understands the truth.

But the gap between knowing and doing is not something everyone can do.

So He Yan didn't feel at ease at this moment, instead, he felt powerless amidst the melancholy and eagerness.

When He Yan was listless, He Kui, who had been busy in Hewu and never troubled He Yan easily, suddenly came to the county government to look for He Yan.

"My lord! My lord! General Guan went to Hewu to look for you!"

He Yan doubted his ears: "General Guan? Looking for me?"

Xun Yu heard it very clearly, and said cheerfully from the side: "Shenhou, it seems that I have been right! There is always a turning point for this matter!"

But He Yan still felt something was wrong.

Because He Kui looked nervous at this time, and he didn't look like he was here to hold good news.

Sure enough, He Kui yelled out after he recovered his breath——

"General Guan said that General Zhao is critically ill! Please help Marquis Shen!"
