Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 193 Wang Zuozhi's Talent Xun Wenruo
When Liu Bian brought Xun Yu to the study, he got stuck: Why did I bring Xun Yu here?Do I have anything to say to Xun Yu?
Moreover, guests from far away come to Nanpi County, and they should not be familiar with the place. Shouldn't I arrange accommodation for the guests first?
After all, this guest...should be living in Nanpi County for a long time?
Liu Bian was thinking with his head full of black threads, feeling annoyed at his rashness.

Maybe the reason why I was rash was because the other party was Xun Yu?

Regarding Xun Yu... "Three Kingdoms" or "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a lot of comments: he is called a statesman and strategist, and he was Cao Cao's chief adviser and hero in unifying the north. In his early years, he was called "the talented king" and was praised by Cao Cao. He was called "my son's wife" and was later revered as "Xun Lingjun". He died at the age of 50 and was given the posthumous title "Jing". In the second year of Wei Xianxi's reign, he was given the title of Taiwei.

A string of information about Xun Yu emerged in his mind.

Unfortunately, the current situation is completely different from what was recorded in the book. Xun Yu's original experience may not be of use... However, this does not prevent Xun Yu from being an outstanding talent. Liu Bian must not miss it. .

Calmly, Liu Bian put the invitation and recommendation letter in his sleeve on the desk, put them away carefully, then raised his head and said to Xun Yu: "I have kept you waiting for a long time... I forgot that you have come all the way, and I am tired from the journey." , should you rest for the night?"

Xun Yu cupped his hands, but he didn't care much. He just said: "Your Highness, Wen Ruo has been ordered to transport a hundred books to Nanpi County, and please take a look at them as soon as possible."

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian wanted to ask: Now that the review is over, what are you going to do? ——Return to Luoyang to resume your life?
"Mr. Xun, what are your plans next?" Liu Bian asked hesitantly.

Later, he remembered that this year Xun Yu would promote Xiaolian and serve as the palace guard, but a year later, when Dong Zhuo was in power, he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, leading his clan to take refuge in Jizhou... If the trajectory of history did not change.

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "It's nothing. It's just a letter to report to Gongda."

Ok?
Gongda?

Liu Bianqi said: "Sir, how did you receive this task of delivering books?"

Xun Yu said: "Gongda couldn't leave Luoyang, so he wrote a letter back to his family, asking me to go there."

This……

Is it Xun You who was appointed by his great uncle, not General He Jin?

After touching his nose, Liu Bian felt embarrassed and said, "So, sir, your body is still white, right?"

"Yes." Xun Yu replied calmly, without any discomfort.

Liu Bian said again: "May I ask, sir, if you can stay in Nanpi County for a while? So that I can arrange a job for you?"

Liu Bian was careful when he said this: he did not directly ask Xun Yu what he thought, but directly acquiesced.

By default, Xun Yu wanted to serve him.

Xun Yu looked at Liu Bian silently and said tactfully: "That's... no need. Wen Ruo left home in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to talk to his family in detail. Even if he stays in Nanpi for a few days, he still has to go home."

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian's head was full of black lines, and his mood was hard to describe: What's going on?Why doesn't Xun Yu want to stay in Nanpi County?

In other words: Is it because Xun Yu didn't even consider defecting to him?

What exactly did Mr. Xun You say to Xun Yu? !
Isn’t this plot wrong? ...Why is it slightly different from what he imagined? ——He doesn’t dare to have the luxury of being able to win Xun Yu’s allegiance like Cao Cao, but he shouldn’t be like this now. If I ask a question, you answer?
Is this attitude too business-like? ——How about "like a fish in water" and "very speculative"?

Wasn't Xun Yu loyal to the Han Dynasty?Listening to his overtures and solicitations, shouldn't he immediately agree?

Dare... Does Xun Yu still want to test him?
Liu Bian opened his mouth and wanted to say something else. He suddenly saw He Xian running towards him, clasping his fists and saying, "Your Highness, the magistrates of Chonghe County and Dongguang County want to see you!"

Um? ——Yuan Shao?Cao Cao?Why are these two people here?

Liu Biandao: "Please come in with the two county magistrates."

"Your Highness, would you like to have Wen...?" Xun Yu felt something was wrong.

Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "Sir, there is no need to feel embarrassed. It is not a big deal if two county magistrates come to see me during the bathing break."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's voices were heard one after another, saying:
"Shao pays homage to His Highness!"

"Fuck, I've seen my lord!"

No one noticed that Xun Yu's eyes flashed slightly.

Liu Bian raised his hand and said: "The two county magistrates are exempt from courtesy. What do you two come to see me for?"

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao straightened up and glanced at Xun Yu in unison.

Cao Cao took a step forward, rubbed his hands and said, "My lord, there is nothing urgent. It's just that I saw the county magistrate Xiu just now and heard He Bai come to report that someone from Luoyang was here and he sent a hundred copies. books……"

Yuan Shao answered: "Therefore, the two of us are quite curious and want to take a look..."

With a natural expression, Yuan Shao looked at Xun Yu and said with a smile: "I guess this gentleman is the one who delivered the book? - Sir, he traveled thousands of miles to deliver hundreds of copies of the book. It is really a blessing for Nanpi Academy! Shao is here Thank you very much!
May I ask your name, sir? "

After saying that, Yuan Shao bowed politely to Xun Yu to express his gratitude.

Then Xun Yu bowed and said: "The student's surname is Xun, his given name is Yu, and his courtesy name is Wenruo. See you..."

When Xun Yu met Yuan Shao for the first time, he probably didn't know Yuan Shao, so he paused at the right time.

Liu Bian complained silently: Xun Yu, Xun Yu, it is recorded in the history books that that was your first lord Yuan Shao; the Cao Cao next to him was your second... Of course, he naturally did not dare to say this. Come.

With a slight smile, he introduced: "This person is Yuan Shao, whose style name is Benchu, and he is currently serving as Biejia and concurrently the magistrate of Chonghe County."

"...Yuan Biejia." Xun Yu said.

Liu Bian then pointed his hand at Cao Cao and said by the way: "This is Cao Cao, whose courtesy name is Mengde. He is currently serving as the chief merit officer and concurrently as the magistrate of Dongguang County."

Xun Yu first nodded to Yuan Shao, then saluted Cao Cao and said, "Wen Ruo pays homage to Master Cao."

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also paid tribute to Xun Yu in turn.

Among them, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Xun Yu Xun Wenruo? - So you are Xun Wenruo? Although Shao has never met you, sir, he has heard of your name! I heard that you were famous for your talent when you were young. Who is a famous person in Nanyang? When Yong saw you, he was greatly surprised and said, "This is Wang Zuo's talent." Is this true? "

Xun Yu said in surprise: "Mr. He Yong is so complimentary."

Yuan Shao smiled heartily, clapped his hands and said, "Sir, please don't be humble. Mr. Shaoguan, you can bear this title."

On the side, Cao Cao was also very interested, and looked at Xun Yu calmly.

At this time, He Bai came over and said: "Your Highness, a hundred books are being moved to the living room, are they...?"

The corners of his mouth twitched. Liu Bian originally wanted to spend some time with Xun Yu to brush up his favorability, but when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao came to cut in the queue, and Xun Yu urged him to take a look...he couldn't do anything. He chatted with Xun Yu again and said, "Well, let's go take a look together?"

"Dare you disobey me?" Those present happily agreed.

So, Liu Bian led Xun Yu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, followed by a group of guards, to the living room, where he happened to see Yuan Shu directing a group of guards to carry books.

At that time, Zhuge Xuan, Cui Yan, Guoyuan, Bing Yuan, Guan Ning and Sun Qian were also helping.Liu Bian glanced at it: Not to mention, there were so many books that they had already piled up into a small mountain.

Everyone is very considerate and knows how to classify the categories——

Moreover, seeing him coming in person, he consciously bowed and saluted.

Liu Bian nodded and motioned for everyone to continue stacking and ignore him.

In his ears, he heard Xun Yu say again: "Your Highness, please take a look."

Liu Bian: "..."

He almost doesn't recognize the word "look at" anymore!

He said to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao: "Come and read the content, but there are mistakes."

After that, he, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu carefully read the book to prevent errors or unclear handwriting in the book.

Fortunately, the quality of the books everyone reviewed was quite good, and basically no problems were found.

Strangely, Liu Bian quickly browsed through the book editions of "Xi Ping Shi Jing", such as "Lu Shi", "Shang Shu", "Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn", "Gongyang Zhuan", "Ritual" and "The Analects of Confucius" , I was speechless.

To be honest, although these books have a lot of titles, each of them is very thin. If you add them up, the number of words is not too many, at most 20 words, which is called "six art sketches".

With his heart pounding, Liu Bian thought to himself: According to the six courses set by "Nanpi Academy", except for "Six Arts", the other five courses also require corresponding books.

There are still "Strengths of Zhuzi" and "Strength of War"... it's not enough!Liu Bian raised his forehead and couldn't help but said:
"Does the "Beihai Academy" have books on various schools of thought and how to command operations and lead troops to fight? "

This time, it was Cui Yan, Guoyuan, Bing Yuan and Sun Qian's turn to sigh in unison.

"How, how...?" His scalp was numb, but Liu Bian still had the courage to ask.

Cui Yan temporarily stopped sorting the books and took the lead in cupping his hands and saying: "Your Highness, don't worry, what I mean is: yes!"

"Really?" Liu Bian was so happy that he forgot to ask Cui Yan and others why they sighed.

Immediately, he realized what this meant, and his excited heart turned into a pool of water and returned to calm.

After all, he still had to go to "Beihai Academy"... to copy a set of "Zhuzi Lue" and "Military Strategy".

Thinking of this, he sighed and reminded everyone to do the work first.

He, Cao Cao and others patiently read through the remaining books.

Everyone checked the book, but nothing happened, but they saw Xun Yu making a "puff" sound, seeming to remember something, and burst out laughing.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Xun Yu in unison.

Xun Yu stared at a copy of "The Legend of Gongyang" and saw Shen'er.

Seeing this, Liu Bian had to say: "Sir, why are you laughing?"

Xun Yu calmed down, shook the book in his hand, and replied: "Your Highness, Wen Ruo remembered an interesting thing."

"What's the matter?" Liu Bian asked.

Xun Yu said: "In the past, His Majesty ordered Yilang Cai Yong to carve 46 steles and set them up in front of the Taixue Lecture Hall outside Kaiyang Gate in the south of Luoyang City. Except for the Analects of Confucius, they were all erected by officials of the time. The Stone Classics are based on One family's edition is the main one, and each has its own school record! And this "Gongyang Zhuan" is from Yan's edition, which has different characters from Yan's.

Wen Ruo was lucky enough to go to "Beihai Academy" once, and remembered that there was not only Yan's version of "Gongyang Zhuan" there, but also a version by the late modern classics scholar and Confucian master - He Xiu!

Wen Ruo was born late.It is said that at that time, ancient classics scholars represented by Mr. Zheng Xuan and modern classics scholars represented by Mr. He Xiu had fierce academic disputes one after another!

At that time, Mr. He Xiu was the master of modern classics, and Mr. Zheng Xuan was the master of ancient classics. The debate between the two was like two water divisions, each refusing to give in to the other, each with its own merits and strengths...

Although Wen Ruo did not participate, he benefited a lot from reading Mr. He Xiu's "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Exegesis" and "Gongyang Mo Shou"!

This shows how knowledgeable these two gentlemen are!
Now, if Wen Ruo reads Yan's version of "Gongyang Biography", and then associates "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Jiegu" and "Gongyang Moshou", he finds it interesting-the content is roughly the same, but the details and meanings are slightly different. There are differences, that’s why I’m laughing, please forgive me, Your Highness! "

The roots of Xun Yu's ears are slightly red.

Liu Bian looked sideways, thinking: I am thinking too much!I thought you would laugh because the handwriting of these books is exactly the same... Aren't you even curious about "stone rubbing technology" and "rubbing"?

After listening to Xun Yu's thoughts, not to mention the subtle reactions of Cui Yan and others, only Yuan Shao and Cao Cao showed obvious yearning, while Yuan Shu was average.

Yuan Shao's eyes shone and he looked at Xun Yu as if he were seeing a pure gold mine. He made no secret of his admiration and goodwill and said loudly: "I didn't expect that sir has traveled to many places at such a young age. It shows that your talent is truly extraordinary! Shao really admires him, admires him! If sir, he is free, Shao would really like to have a drink and talk with him!"

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said warmly: "Although Wen Ruo is a scholar, he also likes to make friends with the world's heroes. It is really a pleasure to talk about world affairs with knowledgeable people."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said happily: "In this case, Shao Zi will prepare some drinks so that he can entertain you sir!"

Seeing Yuan Shao and Xun Yu chatting more and more harmoniously, Liu Bian coughed a few times in a very embarrassing manner.

Immediately, Yuan Shao, Xun Yu, and even the rest turned to look at Liu Bian.

After Liu Bian confirmed that all the books were intact, he clapped his hands calmly and said loudly: "That's the end of the chat. Everyone! You have come and checked. It's been really hard... I decided to reward you all. Let's Shall we go to the dining room for dinner together? It just so happens that Mr. Xun will be staying here for a few days, so please treat Mr. Xun well?"

With just this sentence, everyone's attention fell on Liu Bian.

Liu Bian was calm and calm, and ordered two guards to guard the living room to prevent anyone from causing trouble and destroying these books. In fact, this was not necessary, but Liu Bian was afraid of what might happen... In short, after ensuring that the books were in good condition, Liu Bian continued Take Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Cui Yan and others to the dining room.

On the way, Liu Bian listened to He Bai reporting back and forth: "Your Highness, the guards brought by Mr. Xun have been arranged. Your Highness and Mr. Xun, please rest assured!"

"Have your comfortable residence been tidied up, sir?" Liu Bian asked again.

He Bai said: "Later."

He Bai left decisively for a while. It was not until Liu Bian and his party were about to enter the dining room that he returned and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready! Please check in with Mr. Xun!"

"Okay, He Bai, please return to the team." Liu Bian waved his hand, "After he finishes eating, you can send him back to his room to rest. By the way, will you assign two guards to your husband to prevent him from getting used to the place?"

"Here!" He Bai accepted the order and retreated silently. In fact, he and He Xian and other guards followed Liu Bian in a low-key manner.

"Mr.." Yuan Shao pursed his lips and said to Xun Yu, "Do you know there is a "canteen" in Nanpi County?Restaurants in Nanpi County..."

"It is said that there are a lot of delicious food." Xun Yu said.

Huh?
Everyone was stunned: You actually knew?
As if he could see that everyone was confused, Xun Yu added: "Gongda said it."
