Lord, Yuan Shao is about to arrive but Han Fu is about to leave, so how can we make the decision?

However, how could he not understand that he was worth two thousand stones at a time? He immediately stretched out his hand and pointed out the power and responsibility for the last 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yecheng and several surrounding branch cities to Xin Ping, Guo Tu and other Yings.

Sichuan people...then went back to their dormitories for a lunch break.

Of course, this is what Xin Ping and others wanted, so a group of Yingchuan scholars immediately ordered Yecheng and the surrounding dirty cities, Jiuhou City, and Wucheng to stay behind closed doors, and at the same time sent out sentries to check the south.

situation, so we can figure out what is going on!

However, there was no need for these people to check. Soon someone took the initiative to report that a knight was approaching the gate of Yecheng, and then shouted to the city that the people of Chaoge had heard that the traitor Yuan thief was about to arrive near Wei County.

To avoid the disaster of the war, he helped the old and the young, and prepared to go to the State of Zhao... He also said that he wanted the officials in Yecheng to prepare food and divert water.

Not many people believed this at first, but as sentries and flying horses came to report that Handan in the north had suddenly sent thousands of soldiers and horses to the south, everyone in Yingchuan in Yecheng was speechless and confirmed.

Who is the person?

"It must be that Guan Yu of Chao Ge and Handan were reviewing the match. When they heard that Ye City had changed its owner, they drove out the people in order to fish in troubled waters and steal the city!" Back in the empty official temple, as soon as everyone sat down, Guo Tu opened his mouth to come.

"General Wei would not do such a thing." Although Jushou was not from Yingchuan and had no decision-making power, as someone who was named by Yuan Shao to retain his trust, his words were right. "The princes from all walks of life in the world should treat the people as they should."

To be honest, the first one is General Wei, I am afraid it is really a spontaneous migration..."

Jushou's almost certain judgment immediately made Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Xun Chen and others who had wanted to speak find it difficult to open their mouths... These people, based on their positions, were all former officials of the Yuan family and were all from Yingchuan.

, were also the main force that persuaded Han Fu to surrender before. The war was about to begin, and it would be boring for them to agree with Ju Shu and tell General Wei what to do.

But they had all lived in Yecheng for a year or two. They were absolutely convinced of Jushou's talent and wisdom, so they couldn't easily refute each other.

"General Wei may not be so disgraceful, but what about Guan Yu?" Only Guo Tu, who was refuted in person and a mere native of Jizhou, couldn't help but protest. "Can't Guan Yunchang do it alone? Thousands of miles away.

Is it possible that General Wei could know the real situation here at such a distance? Moreover, he had been in Hanoi for a long time before going down, and he knew that this man was an arrogant warrior who was born as a prisoner in Hedong.

Dong Daju..."

"Guan Yunchang has been in Chaoge for many years," said Jushou, who rarely looked serious. "We and other locals also know that he is proud of his superiors but pitiful of his subordinates. When it comes to caring for the people, he goes even further! And Shen Zhengnan is also an upright and upright person.

I will never help Guan Yunchang cheat! Let alone drive out the people and steal the city!"

Guo Tu sneered more and more, and was about to speak out again, but unexpectedly, someone behind him suddenly started to sneer. Although his voice was soft, it seemed that when most of the people around him were silent, it seemed

direct.

When Guo Gong looked back, he was also a little helpless. It turned out that the person who laughed was actually his distant compatriot, called Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. He had just grown up and been crowned, and had never done anything. However, this time the Yingchuan scholars suddenly took away the title.

The city's political power didn't care too much, so he was summoned to discuss matters.

"I don't know if I can teach you what to do?" Seeing that it was the person behind Guo Tu, Jushu thought he was mocking him and became cold-faced.

"I don't mean to teach you anything." Guo Jia, who didn't even have hair on his face, held up his sword and looked around. "I'm just curious. Brother Clan and Ju engaged in such an argument that they turned red...why?"

Guo Tu held his knees and Ju Shou twirled his beard slightly, both of them were a little angry. However, when they were about to open their mouths to refute, they both became embarrassed.

By the way, the two of them realized at this time that regardless of whether Guan Yunchang led the people to the north or drove the people to steal the city, didn't they have to close the city and guard it strictly?

Otherwise, is there a second way to go?

Oh, Yuan Shao is not here, could someone still want to sneak attack the three thousand soldiers together with the common people? Are you crazy? And in this official temple, who can say this, who dares to issue this order?

As for opening the door to deliver food...

In short, one by one of these smart people around him, they gradually woke up and became embarrassed and speechless.

"That's good." In the awkward silence, Xin Ping came forward with a shy face and made a pertinent suggestion. "On the one hand, send people to the three surrounding cities to supervise the troops to close the city and defend themselves; on the other hand, you can

We sent an envoy to tell Guan Yu that we would allow him to pass through the city easily, but we cannot provide him with food."

Everyone nodded, but for a while they didn't know who to send as the envoy and who to take charge of the defense of the three small towns around Yecheng.

You know, there may be other places, but the people in this official temple still have a rough idea of ​​Guan Yu's temper and ability... Although he was not famous in the world after the rebellion against Dong, he was a famous figure in Yingchuan during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

, who had been to and from Hebei, was considered well-known for a while, and when Gongsun Xun challenged Dong that day, except for one Gongsun Fan, he only gave two general titles, which shows his trust and reliance on Guan Yu.

So back to the present, think about it and you will know. What if a Jizhou person is sent here, and Guan Yunchang squints his eyes and says, "Thieves who betray the master, everyone will kill them", and then chop them into pieces with a knife?

If we send someone from Yingchuan, it will be more direct - 'Rebellious people should be killed as a matter of course'!

what to do?

Moreover, among the three small cities, there is nothing else. The westernmost dirty city is far away, separated by two medium-sized rivers, but it is very likely that Guan Yu crossed the sewage and merged.

The place for reinforcements in Handan... Although everyone understands that it is meaningless to take only a dirty city, but what if Guan Yu is in a bad mood, or simply wants to demolish the dirty city for the sake of future war?

What do you say about the guard of the dirty city? Will he also be chopped into pieces?! And even if he can come back alive, Yuan Cha is about to come on horseback. What can you say if you can't defeat a city first?

"The envoy must find someone who is insignificant." There are smart people in the official temple. For example, Xun Chen quickly summed up the biggest requirements of these two candidates. "Let Guan Yunchang not take him seriously; the dirty city must find someone."

Be steady, otherwise it will be difficult to defend the city and deal with emergencies...Who among you will go?"

Jushu and other Jizhou people, as well as those who had previously held positions in the state, naturally closed their eyes and rested. Anyway, it was the Yingchuan people who were in power, and it was not their turn to take risks. In fact, many officials in the state were

It is extremely difficult to accept the fact that Han Fu was given the seal and ribbon. It is said that many people have secret plans... At this pass, those who can come here to speak are actually considered good. Xin Ping, Xun Chen and others also know that they can no longer

These people are pushed outward.

"How about I serve as an envoy?" In another awkward silence, suddenly a twenty-seven-year-old man behind Xun Chen, with a face like a crown jade and a clear look, spoke softly, but it was the former Huangmen servant and the palace guard.

, the most outstanding person of Xun's generation, Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo. "Then how about going down to pollute the city and work for the army?"

Xun Chen was about to speak but stopped, and everyone around him looked at each other in confusion.

"Then let's settle it!" Guo Tu, who had been an official together with Xun Yu when Yin De was the prefect of Yingchuan, suddenly stood up and agreed. "No one can say that we Yingchuan scholars have not taken care of...

If Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao take on this important task, they can convince everyone, right?"

Everyone was speechless and could only take this as a guideline. Then they discussed two more candidates to go to Jiuhou City and Wucheng to "labour the army", and then they dispersed.

Xun Yu walked the slowest, but as soon as he came out of the hall, under the scorching sun, he was hurriedly stopped by his brother Xun Chen who was waiting in front of the hall: "Wen Ruo, why did you take the risk yourself? And didn't we agree?

, the general trend is the general trend, I will go out to deal with it first, and when Yuan Benzhu arrives, let’s observe one or two carefully and then talk about other things?”

"In troubled times, this kind of thing cannot be avoided." Xun Yu stood in front of the hall and said with a smile. "Where can we not take risks? As for why he went to dirty the city, he was just curious to see whether Guan Yunchang was returning north with his people or driving them away.

The people are just stealing the city, brother, there is no need to worry about it."

"Didn't we all talk about being filial? There is no difference in this kind of thing..." Xun Chen was also helpless.

"Fengxiao is wrong." Xun Yu shook his head with a sigh. "Some things make no difference to some people, but some things are fundamental to some people...Brother, don't worry about it. I don't think Guan Yunchang is capable of killing people. That's right.

If he really kills someone, he will die first because of his filial piety. After he dies, no one will tell me that he is safe, so I just stay away."

Xun Chen had no choice but to turn around and walk away, but after walking only a few steps, he saw Guo Jiazheng standing behind a big tree in front of the hall, holding the long sword in his waist and holding the sword at ease. He seemed to have heard everything clearly, but he couldn't help but shake his head more and more.

Then just walk away.

Xun Yu was not in a hurry, and continued to move forward to reach his subordinates. He did not pay any attention to Guo Jia's appearance here, as if he had seen it a long time ago: "Feng Xiao..."

"Brother Wen Ruo, there is no need to explain." Guo Jia held his sword with one hand and covered his nose with the other. "I also wanted to meet the people under General Wei. Before I went to Handan, I only saw Shen Zhengnan, but I had never met Guan Yunchang...

...and besides, not to mention that I can see the appearance of the people from a distance, and I can also know whether these people were driven out or migrated spontaneously. Even if they are really unlucky and are chopped up alive, they must first send someone to falsely report that they are safe, and lie to Wen Ruo

My brother will stay in the dirty city and will go to hell with me in the future... In this case, why should I be unwilling to do so?"

"That's it."

Just throw away the sachet, right?"

"Throw it away now!" Guo Jia said sincerely. "It smells really bad, and I can't stand it even for a moment! Besides, you led us to escape from Yingchuan here, but it was useless on the way, and no one despises you.

?How can I settle down for a while and still need incense? But I can’t afford good incense, so I can only buy bad incense!”

"I'm just used to it." Under the shadow of the mottled trees, Xun Yu lowered his head and unwrapped his sachet, and then sighed quietly for a moment. "How can you change the habit of decades so easily?"

————I have become accustomed to it————

"Xun Yu in the late Han Dynasty was a man of great beauty and appearance. He talked to people like a spring breeze and liked incense. So he often said: 'When Xun Jun came to someone's house, he would sit there for three days and the fragrance would be fragrant.'" - "Shishuo Xinyu". Rong Zhi Chapter
