I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 373 Gift to Xun Gongda (4k)

But Cao Cao was satisfied, but some people had doubts.

On the way back, Xiahou Dun, who had been accompanying Cao Cao, asked: "General, I see that Tuoba Jiefen is very good at forbearing. Even though it is the custom of Hulu to cut off his ears, his decisiveness is evident. I hope General will be careful." Raising tigers is a disaster.”

Cao Cao confidently replied: "Don't worry about Yuan Rang. It should be noted that just because Tuoba Jiefen is good at forbearing, as long as he is weak and not completely sure, he will always be forbearing."

"The most lacking thing outside the Great Wall now is food. As long as we control the money and food well and have elite soldiers to intimidate us, we won't be afraid of him disobeying orders!"

Xiahou Dun saw that Cao Cao had a plan, so he said no more.

The next day, more than 500 Xianbei prisoners who returned to Tuoba Jiefen finally had a full meal. In this way, a few days later, they got some dilapidated weapons-these were the trophies of the Han army. After another three or five days, they got another group of horses.

But horses are always precious, so they cannot be given away for free like weapons and food. They must be returned in the end.

For the Xianbei people who have long stepped out of the life of fishing and hunting and live on horseback, horses have long become their second life. After getting the horses, it is almost visible to the naked eye that these former warriors of the Xianbei tribe gradually changed their lives. After removing the marks left by the iron ore on his body, the original wolf nature of his body gradually emerged.

Now, Xiahou Dun was not the only one who was worried.

Qiang Qu came to Cao Cao with concern and proposed that the Huns could be selected as Tuoba Jiefen's subordinates. Anyway, what the Han family wanted to borrow was just the title of Tuoba Jiefen's heir to the west.

One month later, Wuyuan County.

But these Xianbei people came together with the Chanyu and the elite Han people. Due to the current situation, these tribes dare not say anything for the time being.

But precisely because of Xu Rong's nature, he was one of the few generals under General Du Liao who was willing to obey Geng Zhi's military orders and ignore Cao Cao.

After Dong Zhuo lost his military power, the reputations of Niu Fu and Dong Huang were not enough to command the remaining generals. There were many generals like Hu Zhen who found another way out when they found an opportunity.

On the other side, after Xu Rong received the order, he immediately asked: "May I ask General Zhonglang, under what circumstances can Tuoba Jiefen be killed?"

Even if Geng Zhi had some disagreements with Cao Cao, it was such an important event and his subordinates would benefit from it, so he had no reason to object.

In other words, even if this department is out of control, Cao Cao can accept it as long as it can make the current western Xianbei more chaotic.

His colleagues knew where he was going and congratulated him one after another, including Wang Can, the youngest servant of Huangmen.

Soon, Tuoba Jiefen identified the first target of attack.

Cao Cao was not discouraged. He invited Xu Rong to sit down and then told Xu Rong his plan in detail——

On this day, I heard that Shanyu was coming to Wuyuan in person, and all the Xiongnu tribes scattered here were ready to welcome him.

In just one battle, the population of the new tribe, which originally had only more than 500 people, doubled, although most of the increased population were women and children.

However, Cao Cao was confident that he could control Tuoba Jiefen and decisively rejected Qiang Qu's suggestion. Qiang Qu did not dare to say anything about it.

Shi Huan and Geng Zhi, the general of Liao Dynasty, both had such doubts, but they could not resist Cao Cao's persistence.

Just seeing the Xianbei people coming with Shan Yu, these tribes had doubts in their hearts.

The Han army had not gone out to fight for many years, and the newly arrived Xianbei tribe was unprepared for this. Not to mention that the internal ghosts were always more terrifying than the external enemies. The Xianbei people knew themselves well enough.

But Xu Rong was a little different. He always worked hard without complaining, followed military orders in everything, and did not do anything to please.

In Luoyang, Xun You is standing on his last post as the Huangmen Minister.

Looking at Xu Rong who was following the order, Cao Cao was secretly proud - "No matter how hard you struggle, you still have to be obedient and be used by me!"

Cao Cao came here with Geng Zhi's military orders.

It is very suitable to Cao Cao's appetite.

He wanted to step forward and hold Xu Rong's hand to talk, but Xu Rong politely bowed his hand to him and refused to give him the chance.

The original Xianbei warriors under his command have little connection with the western tribes who now occupy the pastures outside the Great Wall in the north of Wuyuan. They will not be merciful to these Xianbei people who have invaded their pastures.

Boss Cao felt bitter because he couldn't love someone again.

In recent years, the Huns have gradually returned to the pastures of Wuyuan.

This place has long become a colosseum where the Xianbei people and the Huns compete for pasture.

……

Six hundred stones was a watershed in the Han family - attending imperial gatherings, Yin's children entering the Imperial Academy... were often benefits that could only be enjoyed by those with more than six hundred stones.

Cao Cao's face turned dark. Fortunately, he already had a dark face and others couldn't tell.

During this period, Cao Cao was stationed in Jiuyuan County, and based on the actual situation, Xu Rong deployed additional Han and Hu soldiers and horses to ensure that he could suppress Tuoba Jiefen, whose strength continued to rise in the future, before returning to Xihe County.

On the outskirts of Jiuyuan County, this is where the royal tent prepared by Cao Cao for Tuoba Jiefen is located. This move was a matter of entrusting the Xiongnu Zhonglang to bring him to the southern Xiongnu royal court.

Today in Wuyuan County, apart from the county towns and county suburbs that have not yet been abandoned, there are very few Han people to be seen.

It has to be said that during the heavy snowfall last winter, the grain and grass obtained by the various tribes of the Southern Xiongnu from the Chanyu of Qiangqu were so fragrant that they gave Qiangqu a reputation that was not high at all.

Nowadays, there is civil strife in Xianbei in the western part of the country. The Luhui tribe is weak but has no self-awareness. This is the time to continue to muddy the waters. The winner outside the Great Wall has always been king. Even if Tuoba Jiefen is supported by the Han family, as long as he can continue to win, in Cao Cao's vision, even if he cannot become the next Southern Huns, as long as he can exert some influence outside the Great Wall, he will be the winner. Can force all the deer back to submit to him.

But Cao Cao is not an ordinary person. In the past, Zhao Yun was recommended by Liu Yu, but on the battlefield, didn't he have to obey his orders honestly? Guan Yu and Liu Bei are brothers, so why don't they fight side by side with him, keep their armor on and sleep together for many days?

The general stationed here is none other than General Du Liao's army commander Sima Xurong.

As the commander-in-chief of the Huns, Cao Cao could not keep an eye on Tuoba Jiefen all the time, and he did not choose the person he would encircle. Even considering that Xu Rong's ability and the location where he was stationed were just right, it was enough to be called selfless.

Cao Cao had fought side by side with Xu Rong and knew his abilities. It was no problem to control a mere Tuoba Jiefen.

The seventeen-year-old Huangmen Shilang is extremely rare even if we look at the stories of the Han family.

In fact, when Xianbei was at its peak in the early years, the Huns could only retreat when facing Xianbei.

In this process, Liu Bian did not actually play a nepotistic role. Wang Can was indeed able to become the Huangmen Minister because of his talent and background.

However, seventeen-year-old Wang Can was not so happy to receive such a high position.

He even felt that today's life was not as far away as the time he spent in Taixue.

He is a mediocre person if he is not envied by others. Wang Can stands out among several Huangmen servants because of his figure and appearance. At such a young age, he was secretly alienated by some people because his talent showed up early. Only Xun You treated him the most. take care of.

Therefore, among the Huangmen ministers, he was the most reluctant to leave Xun You.

After the others left, Wang Can paid his respects to Xun You: "You are going to Ba County. I don't know when we can see each other. I hope that when we meet again, you will be a minister!" Xun You actually knew Wang Can's current situation very well, and he responded with a smile. Said: "Then let Zhongxuan give you auspicious words!"

He also warned: "Zhongxuan's talents are by no means limited to the Huangmen Chamberlain, and there is no need to be disturbed by villains. Only with an open-minded mind can great things be achieved! I will be in Bajun, waiting for Zhongxuan's name to spread throughout the world!"

Wang Can nodded heavily.

Xun You asked again: "I have long heard that Zhongxuan has poetic talent, but I have never heard of it since Zhongxuan became a colleague. On the occasion of parting now, may I be lucky enough to get a poem?"

Wang Can heard this and replied: "Please wait a moment!"

After saying that, he turned back and found a pen and paper, intending to compose a poem on the spot.

Cool wind and sharp autumn festival... After writing these five words, Wang Can felt that these five words were not enough and were too desolate, so he immediately erased them.

The graceful person leads to the other side of the river...Wang Can is not very satisfied.

Since joining the Huangmen Chamber of Commerce this year, Wang Can has felt a lot of troubles that he had never felt before.

In the past, if he was dissatisfied with the looks of others, he could just walk away, but now, he has to consider more.

The mood is also more depressed than before.

Xun You saw Wang Can's entanglement, sat next to Wang Can, and said: "The graceful person leads the river bank... I really like these two sentences, but is there a sequel?"

Wang Can nodded, and then wrote "A gentleman goes to war, and he befriends his neighbor in the west." He then revised and revised it. It took him nearly an hour to write a four-character poem.

Xun You solemnly accepted it, but Wang Can was not satisfied with his latest poem.

Wang Can promised Xun You: "When I say goodbye tomorrow, Can will write another song for you."

Xun You said with a smile: "The so-called metaphor of emotions in poetry, what I asked for just now has already lost some of its true meaning, and it is not appropriate to force it anymore."

On the surface Wang Can agreed with Xun You's words, but in his heart he was determined to write a good poem tonight!
But the more urgent Wang Can became, the harder it was to write the good poem he wanted. It was not until the servant reminded Wang Can that Wang Can looked up and realized that it was already dawn.

He worked all night and only added a lot of waste paper to himself.

After Wang Can reacted, he could only drag his exhausted body to say goodbye to Xun You. When he arrived, Xun You was already preparing to leave at the inn outside the city.

When the two met, Xun You could tell at a glance what had happened last night, but he didn't say much. He had already said everything he needed to say yesterday, leaving only some words of encouragement. He said goodbye to everyone who was seeing them off, and headed west.

After Wang Can watched Xun You leave, the fatigue from the night came to his mind, and he returned to the car and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already noon, and he was still at the place where he said goodbye to Xun You.

"Seeing that the young master was sleeping deeply, my servant took matters into his own hands and did not drive back home."

Wang Can didn't blame him. He didn't want to go back to his home now. After thinking about it, he said, "Go to the West Garden nearby!"

Wang Can can be said to be a frequent visitor to the West Garden. After his identity was verified, he was quickly put in. Wang Can admired the scenery on the road.

Summer has just passed and the heat has not gone away.

The garden pond in the West Garden has beautiful scenery.

Wang Can walked through several scenery and sat directly on a piece of grass, in a daze. I don't know how long it took, but a bird suddenly landed on the tree above his head and chirped, making Wang Can come back to his senses.

Wang Can didn't know whether the bird was trying to attract friends or just wake him up. He thought it was the latter, right?

For some reason, Wang Can thought of Xun You again. Before Xun You left, he was still telling himself to let nature take its course, but he was so impatient that he failed to live up to Xun You's expectations...

Listening to the chirping of birds, Wang Can felt inspired.

He didn't have any pen and ink on him, but after thinking about it, he took off his shirt, dipped in the water from the pond next to him, and wrote eloquently on the stone road in front of him -

I went to the Western Garden at dusk, hoping to write about my worries. Quchi is full of waves, and the trees are covered with red flowers. There are special birds on the ground, singing to me in spring. I want to follow him, but the road is dangerous and I can't march. Wandering and unable to go, I stood and looked at you. The wind blows and the dust rises, and the day suddenly disappears. Turn around and enter the empty room, asking for your sincerity. Human desires are not violated by nature, so why should we be afraid of not merging?

God is not ignorant of people's hearts. If you are a good friend, why are you afraid that you won't be able to meet again?

When Wang Can finished writing the last word, the beginning of the poem seemed to have disappeared, but Wang Can didn't care because the poem had been imprinted in his heart.

As soon as this poem came out, Wang Can felt that his previously blocked mind suddenly broadened.

After standing still for a moment, Wang Can suddenly realized that Xun You had just set out today. If someone sent someone to send the poem on horseback, he would surely be able to catch up with Xun You before sunset today.

Just do it, Wang Can took action immediately and titled this poem - "A Visit to Xun Gongda in the Garden".

At night, at the inn, Xun You read the poem in his hand, feeling quite emotional.

Han poetry is about to produce another great master.

After Wang Can wrote "A Gift to Xun Gongda on a Visit to the Garden", he seemed to have been opened up to serve as governor.

The first "Ode to Climbing the Tower" was written. On the one hand, it expressed sympathy for the people suffering from natural disasters everywhere and hoped that the natural disasters would disappear as soon as possible. On the other hand, it encouraged the world and praised the Han people's spirit of not being afraid of hardships.

In this fu, Wang Can changed the traditional style of Han fu that was exaggerated and vigorous, and his sentences were concise and clear.

Taichang Cai Yong even publicly praised Wang Can's "Ode to the Tower". For a time, I don't know how many people began to try to imitate Wang Can's writing style.

Because of its style, once "Denglou Fu" was leaked, it was immediately as widely circulated as He Yong's "Fufeng Fu", and even exceeded it.

The price of Luoyang Zuobo paper had already been declining, but it rose again due to this gift.

All Luoyang scholars, after meeting each other, always say two sentences: "Climb the tower to look around, talk about the leisure time to relieve worries..."

One month later, Wang Can wrote "Luoyang Fu".

This Fu is different from "Denglou Fu", focusing on describing the grand occasion of Luoyang.

The words are gorgeous but moderate, so as not to make people feel impetuous. Combined with Wang Can's grand writing style and vivid description, Luoyang City is presented in words to the eyes of other readers.

Even people who have never been to Luoyang City will outline the beautiful scenery of Luoyang in their minds after seeing this gift.

How vibrant it is.

As soon as this poem came out, it was also sought after. Shopkeepers selling Zuo Bo paper in Luoyang City were said to be laughing from ear to ear.
