Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 259 Just plan, Xun You said Xun Chen

After failing to compete for Xuzhou twice, and falling into Zheng Ping's tricks in Huainan, Cao Cao learned from the pain, knowing that he had underestimated Xun Yu's overall planning before.

If he had worked hard in the direction of Xun Yu's layout, there would be no need to think about moving the emperor's capital.

With the emperor in hand, isn't moving just a matter of words?
Cao Cao figured it out.

Although Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are smart, they are just humble scholars after all, and they don't have much family background.

In addition, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were often criticized among the Yingchuan scholars because their style of work was too sloppy, and they couldn't gather the power of Yingchuan scholars at all.

Let Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai fight Zheng Ping, and Zheng Ping doesn't even bother to compete with Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai in terms of skills.

Beihai Zheng's influence among the gentry is too great!
Breaking through a strategy with magic is like breaking a copper shield with a wooden spear. Unless there is a clear difference in intelligence level between the two sides, it is impossible to break through a strategy with magic.

To break Zheng Ping's conspiracy, Cao Cao can only hope that Xun Yu, who is a descendant of Yingchuan's famous family and can gather the strength of the entire Yingchuan gentry.

Only by facing the general trend with the general trend can the general trend that Zheng Ping planned for Liu Bei be curbed.

therefore.

When Xun Yu proposed to go to Guanzhong to spread nursery rhymes, Cao Cao agreed without much thought.

Dong thief burned Luo, and heaven punished Chang'an.

In the land of Longxing in Yingchuan, there must be a king of Zhongxing.

This is the trend that Xun Yu planned for Cao Cao, which belongs to the general trend at the strategic level.

Now that there is a severe drought in Guanzhong, the gentry are hoarding and hoarding, and the price of grain, rice, soybeans and wheat is soaring. Even if Liu Xie personally went to the stage to pray for rain, it would not be able to change the chaos in Guanzhong.

Even though Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were wise, they were powerless to reverse the situation.

After all, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were just a group of outsiders in Guanzhong, and their fame could not affect the powerful gentry in Guanzhong.

If Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were in Yanzhou, they might be able to unite the gentry in Yanzhou to stabilize prices and overcome difficulties together.

As for Lu Bu, it is even more impossible to deal with the sudden danger of the drought in Guanzhong.

It is inevitable for Liu Xie to move the capital!
And what Cao Cao has to do is to move Liu Xie to Xu County in one go, and achieve the core strategy of Xun Yu serving the emperor so as to order him not to be a minister.

Cao Cao no longer hesitated, and sent people to Chang'an to spread nursery rhymes, while purge soldiers and horses, and opened up the checkpoint post station from Xu County to Tongguan to deal with sudden changes.

And in Qingzhou.

Xun Chen disguised himself and went from Zhuocheng to Bohai County, pretending to be looking for relatives and friends, and found Xun You in Linji City of Le'an State.

"Gongda, I haven't seen you for a few years, how is everything going?" Under Xun You's surprised gaze, Xun Chen took off his disguise.

Xun You was taken aback, quickly closed the door and welcomed Xun Chen to the backyard, saluted and asked, "How does Uncle know you are here?"

Xun Chen picked up the white water on the table, drank it in big gulps, then gently wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "I have my own way to find out about you."

Xun You hesitated to speak, his eyes became a little more complicated.

After a pause, Xun You asked, "Uncle came here to find You, what is the matter?"

Xun Chen asked with a smile: "Gongda, I heard that you have taken the post of prefect of Shu County, why have you been stranded in Qingzhou?"

Xun You said without hesitation: "The plank road in the middle of Shu has been destroyed, making it difficult to enter Shu."

Xun Chen laughed: "Why did Gongda deceive me? The plank road was destroyed, and you can still enter Shu by taking the Jingzhou waterway. Uncle guessed that you are in Qingzhou, so you must have the intention of choosing the master."

"I don't know who is qualified to enter the eyes of Gongda among the heroes in this world?"

Xun You paused for a moment, then said carefully, "You have little talent and little learning, and you don't know the heroes of this world."

Seeing Xun You's hesitation in speaking, Xun Chen knew that this nephew with excellent intelligence in the family must have something on his mind to alienate him.

So Xun Chen said bluntly: "Gongda, uncle will not hide from you."

"The reason why I came to Qingzhou is because the general heard of the talent of Gongda, and he is willing to wait for the position of Shangshu."

"It is useless for Gongda to stay in Qingzhou. It is better to go to Zhuocheng with his uncle. With the talent of Gongda, he will surely help the general rule the officials and rule the Han Dynasty."

Xun You didn't answer immediately, but quietly poured the wine from the altar into the wine bottle.

Looking at the immortal brew that was as clear as a spring, Xun You said quietly: "Under General Yuan, there are wise men like a cow's hair, how can we not find a talented minister who can rule all officials?"

Xun Chen said with a smile: "Under the general's command, although there are as many scholars as cow hair, there are very few who can discuss the general trend and have the ability to govern."

"However, the person who governs all the officials must be a person with excellent morals and good understanding of the general situation."

"Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Shen Pei, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, etc., although they have extraordinary talents, they are not the talents of Shangshu."

"Xu You is greedy, Guo Tu is jealous, he is straight when he meets discipline, and he is expert in judging and matching. Although Xin Ping and Xin Pi are honest but not clever enough, the rest of them are too embarrassing to use."

"On the other hand, Gongda is loyal and upright, able to plan, and able to caress the inside and outside, such as Yan Pingzhong, who is good at making friends with others, gentle, courteous, courteous and thrifty. In terms of virtue, talent and wisdom, who can compare with you, Gongda?"

Xun Chen's praise did not surprise Xun You.

Looking at the eloquent Xun Chen, Xun You's eyes became more complicated.

"Uncle's words are too high." Xun You shook the wine bottle quietly, not drinking freely, just watching the little ripples in the wine bottle: "Most of the members of the Xun family have returned to Yingchuan."

Xun Chen's face changed instantly, and his tone became a little annoyed: "Hmph, a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. What's the benefit of following Cao Cao?"

"Although my elder brother is older than me, his judgment of the general situation is not as good as mine."

"There is General Yuan around, but he wants to help that eunuch."

"Elder brother is not only not ashamed to be with him, but also called back the members of the Xun clan."

"If it weren't for that, why would I be obsequious in front of the general and dare not offer advice easily?"

"Gongda, I know that you have always disagreed with your elder brother's ideas, so elder brother chose to resign and return to his hometown, while you chose to gather loyal ministers and righteous men to conspire to kill Dong."

"In today's chaotic world, choosing a wise master is conducive to the continuation of the family's inheritance."

"Obviously, the general is the one who is most likely to wipe out the heroes in this world."

"If Gongda goes to Zhuojun to serve as a minister, with the ability of my uncle and nephew, I will be able to overwhelm Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others. At that time, the world will be unified, and you and I will be famous forever, and then I will bless the Xun family for 400 years. .”

Xun You looked at Xun Chen who was speaking generously, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Although he disagreed with Xun Yu since he was a child, Xun You recognized that Xun Yu moved the Xun clan back to the hometown of Yingchuan County.

Although Yuan Shao became a great general of the Northern Dynasty, he was not able to dominate the world and be intimidated by the heroes.

Qingxu Yang had Liu Bei, Yanzhou had Zang Hong, Yuzhou had Cao Cao, Jingzhou had Liu Biao, Yizhou had Liu Yan, Guanzhong also had Emperor Liu Xie, Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and other civil and military officials.

In the north, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and the Black Mountain bandits have not yet been completely wiped out.

Yuan Shao is not invincible in this world.

The emperor of Zhuocheng was not really recognized by the gentry south of the Yellow River.

There was nothing wrong with Xun Yu moving the Xun clan back to Yingchuan.

"Uncle, you came to look for me not just to persuade me to become a minister in Zhuocheng." Xun You changed the subject, his tone still as quiet as a lady's.

Xun Chen subconsciously glanced at the gate of the courtyard, and lowered his voice: "To tell you the truth, this time looking for Gongda, I also want to find out about Liu Bei's flag in the Sixth Battalion of the Pingyuan Kingdom, and the claim that [-] elite soldiers are going to the Northern Expedition."

"Wen Chou wanted to lead his troops south to compete with the Sixth Battalion of Qingzhou, but I stopped him."

"I thought that Liu Bei's flag in the Sixth Battalion of Pingyuan State was just a bluff, and there must be other purposes."

"Gongda has been in Qingzhou for a long time, can you help me find out Liu Bei's real purpose?"

Xun You said without hesitation: "Liu Qingzhou's purpose is very simple, he just wants to save Gongsun Zan."

"Save Gongsun Zan?" Xun Chen was taken aback: "Gongsun Zan stole the imperial jade seal, expelled Liu Yu, and joined the general to establish a new emperor. How could Liu Bei still want to save Gongsun Zan? Gongda, where did you get that?" information?"

But soon, Xun Chen came to his senses again, and stood up in shock: "No! Gongda, how did you know such secret news? Could it be that you have already joined Liu Bei?"

Xun Chen's nerves tensed instantly.

If Xun You voted for Liu Bei, wouldn't it be a trap for him to secretly come to Qingzhou?

Xun You shook his head: "Although Liu Qingzhou has invited you many times, you have not agreed to become an official."

Xun Chen was even more puzzled: "Then why did Gongda know such secret news?"

Xun You sighed: "Uncle, before you came to look for me, Zheng Xianmou from Qingzhou came to look for me first."

"You are rarely known in Linji City, and this house is also a secret, but my uncle found it easily."

"If you expected it right, my uncle has been under the surveillance of the spies since he stepped into Qingzhou."

"Uncle was able to find this place because Zheng Xianmou deliberately did it."

Xun Chen turned pale with shock, and subconsciously thought of the young man who called himself "A Liang" on the way, and quickly asked: "Gongda is in Linji City, can he know the young man who calls himself 'Liu Liang of Linji City'?"

"This young man's conversation is extraordinary, and he must be well-known in Linji City."

As expected, Xun You said slowly, "Then beside 'Liu Liang of Linji City', is there a young man who calls himself 'Zheng Xun of Linji City'?"

Xun Chen was shocked: "How could Gongda know?"

Xun You drank the immortal wine from the wine bottle, and sighed softly: "The 'Liu Liang of Linji City', whose real name is Zhuge Liang, and whose elder brother Zhuge Jin is Zheng Xianmou's sworn brother."

"The 'Zheng Xun of Linji City' is Zhuge Liang's sworn brother Lu Xun, and the grandson of Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang."

"Zhuge Liang lost his father when he was young. For some reason, he admired Liu Qingzhou a lot. Liu Qingzhou treated Zhuge Liang like a nephew, so Zhuge Liang often called himself 'Liu Liang' when it was inconvenient to reveal his identity."

"Sometimes it's Liu Liang from Linzi City, and sometimes it's Liu Liang from Dongping Mausoleum. This Liu Liang from Linji City is probably a fraudulent name because I'm in Linji City."

"Lu Xun also lost his father at a young age. Because of Zheng Xianmou, he came to Linzi City. He admired Zheng Xianmou even more. He often said that he wanted to learn Zheng Xianmou's military skills, so when he used a pseudonym, he would also call himself 'Zheng Xun'."

"Although these two are only teenagers, they are quite smart and intelligent. Now they intend to deceive uncle, they must be instructed by Zheng Xianmou."

Xun You's tone was a bit more complicated: "Uncle, although you disguised yourself and deceived the soldiers at the checkpoint station, you didn't know that there were already a large number of sentries and spies in Qingzhou."

"If Zheng Xianmou didn't need Uncle to see You, Uncle, you wouldn't be able to see You at all!"

The arrogance in Xun Chen's heart was immediately crushed at this moment: "No wonder, since seeing Gongda, Gongda didn't feel the joy of reuniting my nephew and uncle after a long absence for my arrival."

"Zheng Xianmou deliberately lured me to look for Gongda. What's the purpose?"

Xun Chen looked up at Xun You.

From the beginning, he was played by Zheng Ping but he didn't know it, which made Xun Chen feel very aggrieved.

If it wasn't for Yuan Shao's unfinished mission, Xun Chen wanted to leave in a huff.

"Uncle, you just said that. Liu Qingzhou's purpose is very simple, he just wants to save Gongsun Zan." Xun You said again.

Xun Chen frowned slightly: "If the general doesn't let Gongsun Zan go, will Liu Bei really want to fight the general?"

Xun You's expression was still calm: "Uncle, since you have prevented Wen Chou's troops from going south, you must have guessed Zheng Xianmou's intention."

"The Sixth Battalion set up a flag, bluffing, this is intentional for General Yuan to see."

"If Wen Chou really sent his troops to the south, all the soldiers from Guanzhong and the six states would go north. Zheng Xianmou only needs to send people to lobby, and he can cause the soldiers from Guanzhong and the six states to fight against the enemy."

"For General Yuan, a decisive battle at this time is not a good opportunity."

"In the old days when the strong Qin came out of the Guandong, even if they didn't dare to confront the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, they could only divide and divide the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms and defeat them one by one."

"General Yuan is the same today. Although he occupies three states, he does not have the power to swallow the world."

"To set the world, General Yuan's best strategy is to win over the division, make Guanzhong and the six prefectures fight each other, and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"General Yuan, there is no choice!"

Xun Chen frowned even deeper: "Gongda, is this your idea, or Zheng Xianmou's idea?"

Xun You shook his head and smiled: "You and Zheng Xianmou played chess, arguing with the momentum of the north and the south, and lost three games in a row."

Xun Chen's eyes widened, and he looked at Xun You in astonishment: "Losing three games in a row? Gongda, you didn't mean to give way to Zheng Xianmou, did you?"

Xun You raised his tone slightly: "In the past, Liu Qingzhou was just a small Gaotang Ling."

"Since Zheng Xianmou entered Gaotang, it has only been four years. In these four years, Liu Bei has not only been the shepherd of Qingzhou, but also the general of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Linzi bestowed by the emperor, and he has the right to fake festivals."

"Liu Qingzhou's brother-in-law, Guan Yu, became the shepherd of Xuzhou and was granted the title of Marquis of Han Shouting; Zheng Xianmou's brother-in-law, Tai Shici, became the shepherd of Yangzhou."

"Even Yuan Shu was defeated by Liu Qingzhou, and the three prefectures of Qing, Xu and Yang were all under Liu Qingzhou's control."

"Although there are many sages under Liu Qingzhou's command, Zheng Xianmou is the only one who is planning the overall situation for Liu Qingzhou!"

"Zheng Xianmou, you can be called Liu Qingzhou's mastermind!"

"On the other hand, under General Yuan's command, is there anyone who dares to be called the mastermind?"

"How can Zheng Xianmou lose to me by combining aggregation against separation?"

"As far as General Yuan wants to enlist you as a minister, has my uncle ever thought that Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Shen Pei, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and others will be convinced if you become a minister?"

"If they are dissatisfied in their hearts, and uncle can't succeed in this trip, how can he defend himself after returning?"

Xun Chen's face suddenly turned pale.
