When Liu Bei said those words, he didn't even have time to read the letter!
He had already asked the soldiers to invite the man... and he went out to invite the man in personally.
At the same time, Liu Bei took advantage of this big moment to open the letter that came from him.
The words above are very simple. They just tell Liu Bei that this person is his good friend, a man of great ability, and that he can solve the problem.
Although he didn't know how talented this "world-reading" man was, Liu Bei still gave the man enough courtesy and took the initiative to stand up and welcome him in.
"Xun Gongda of Yingchuan met Duke Xuande."
.......
Time goes back seven days, when the news of Yongliang Land had just reached Jingzhou, and the Qingjun side under Chang'an City caused an uproar and attention in the world.
This is about the last trace of the Han Dynasty's face, and it can even be said to be about the Han Dynasty's national destiny.
Everyone began to pay attention, and Jingzhou was naturally no exception, especially Liu Xuande's Shangguan... or best friend, who was one of the parties involved.
Gongsun Zhu was directly "attentioned" by Liu Biao here.
It seems that he is ready to send his head to the court to show his merit if necessary.
After hastily ending his visit to Nanyang, Gongsun Zhu took a group of different "harvests" and immediately found someone who was avoiding Jingzhou at this time.
More than half a year ago, Dong Zhuo completely gave up his ambitions, put the wealth from Guanzhong into his own mansion, built Xindiwu Fort, and never participated in world affairs again.
I am ready to live in peace and happiness for the rest of my life.
At that time, some knowledgeable people in Chang'an City began to unite together to kill Dong Zhuo.
Among them is Xun You, and he is one of the few left.
After the incident was exposed, some were executed by Dong Zhuo, and some committed suicide in panic to avoid being punished. Only Xun You remained calm, and it happened that Dong Zhuo was acquitted after being executed.
However, after experiencing this incident, Xun You seemed to have seen through the situation in Chang'an. After giving up all his thoughts on Chang'an, he chose to leave.
However, the court did not want to let this person go, and kept recruiting and appointing him. Xun You finally asked the court to be appointed as the prefect of Shu County, hoping to have more stability.
However, because the land of Shu was cut off by Liu Yan, he could not make the trip and could only stay in Jingzhou, intending to rest first before talking about anything else.
And Gongsun Zhu didn't want to let Xun You go, but he was rejected every time he went, and he was no longer looking at him three times or five times.
Anyway, Xun You just didn't see him.
In the end, Gongsun Zhu finally figured it out. Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage was able to succeed because the other party wanted to succeed from the beginning.
Now that Xun You didn't want to help him, even if he knocked on Xun You's door, he would still disappear.
At this time, Gongsun Zhu heard the news about the Yongliang land. At this time, he did not care about Xun You's thoughts and ran directly towards Xun You's residence.
Because he has already asked Guo Tu, this guy has no good solution this time.
But this time, Xun You did not stay behind closed doors, but directly invited Gongsun Zhu in. He even knew Gongsun Zhu's purpose of coming here.
"Are you here this time for a certain family, or for Liu Xuande and Jincheng County?" Xun You didn't give Gongsun Zhu a chance to ramble, and went straight to the point. His paralyzed face made Gongsun Zhu hold back everything he wanted to say. Went back.
"What's the difference..." Gongsun Zhu smiled awkwardly, wanting to say something to ease the embarrassment, but Xun You raised his eyelids and Gongsun Zhu learned to shut up.
"If it's the former, you can leave now. Unless you, father and son, prove to the world that you have nothing to do with the Han clan clan, our Xun family will have no relationship with you."
Xun You said this sentence again, making Gongsun Zhu feel embarrassed.
This was not the first time he heard this sentence, and he even understood why it was said.
There are also differences between aristocratic families. There is a famous family in a state, a famous family in a county, and also a world-famous family.
In addition to the differences in ability, strength, and vision between them, the most important thing is their courage.
For example, the Xun family could choose the imperial court or the princes of the world, but they would not choose the Han clan.
Why?
Because the upper limits between them are different, the Xun family chose Han clan clan, which directly limited their upper limit.
Choosing the imperial court and choosing His Majesty, if possible, then he will be a famous minister who helps the great Han Dynasty, and he will be the confidant of a generation of heroes who will rejuvenate the world.
Choosing princes, such as Cao Mengde or Yuan Benchu, regardless of individuals, their Xun family can finally get the title of minister from the dragon.
When choosing a clan member of the Han Dynasty, do they plan to be a staff member, or will they become a hidden minister in the future? Or what kind of reputation will the Xun family have after taking the final step?
In such troubled times, choosing a Han clan clan member is equivalent to setting an upper limit for oneself. Not to mention being an extremely popular minister, it will definitely be a dilemma in the end. It is not friendly to reputation or strength.
Therefore, the Xun family would never have anything to do with their clan members unless absolutely necessary.
As for what is a last resort, such as the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms or the Rebellion of the Eight Kings.
But now is obviously not the time, so whether it is the Xun family, the Zhong family, or even the declining Han family, they all stay away from Han clan clan members like them.
It's just a matter of being friends. If we continue to go deeper, it won't be good for everyone.
It's just that the person who said this last time was the guy who dealt with him all day long. Now the person who said this is Xun You himself.
It also meant that he no longer needed to consider Xun You's thoughts.
In addition, Xun You gave Gongsun Zhu another reason that he couldn't refuse.
"I have received my uncle's letter. Although I haven't made a decision yet, I think that within the next two years, the family's order will come.
Mr. Gongsun Mansion, you probably know something about it.
You know what that uncle is capable of. With him helping Cao Mengde, Cao Gong's status will definitely be extraordinary in the future.
What's more, the imperial court is declining at this time. If I don't serve the emperor, I'm afraid my uncle himself won't agree. It's hard for you to leave such a way out for you.
Is it possible that you still want him to bear such a big reputation?
There is no impermeable wall in this world, and there are no secrets that will never be leaked.
You want to leave a layer of protection for your Jincheng County, and you don't want to cause any trouble to Jincheng County. That person can also have a good death in the land of Yongliang.
Although it is not free, it is not a good thing in these troubled times.
It's just that the fewer people in the world who know about this matter, the better. The news I brought here is still a secret. If you let others bring the news, can you guarantee it?
He cannot show his face. "
Xun You's second sentence also silenced Gongsun Zhu. Liu Bian is a double-edged sword. If used well, Liu Bei can no longer be restricted by imperial power.
But if it was used improperly, and he was accused of hiding King Hongnong secretly with evil intentions, he would not be able to explain it clearly even if he was full of words.
It was rare for Xun You to say so many words at once, and he really put in a lot of effort to make him give up.
Gongsun Zhu didn't know whether he should feel honored at this time.
"That's all, I can't keep him, so I won't keep him over there." Gongsun Zhu finally chose to give up, and when he looked at Xun You again, his eyes became much calmer, "Since you agreed to meet so-and-so, you thought about it well after all. What are you going to do?"
"I personally went to Yongliang to solve this trouble for Liu Xuande and protect Jincheng County from harm.
But as a price, you must give up half of the Sili, with Hangu Pass as the boundary. You will not be allowed to step outside Hangu Pass for ten years.
Secondly, with the same words, let that person hide in the dark forever and live well, and never let him appear in the eyes of people in this world again.
Thirdly, you..."
"You ask too much. If you continue, I won't have to pay a small price." Guo Tu suddenly appeared and interrupted Xun You's words. Looking at his appearance, it was clear that he had been listening outside for a long time.
"I asked you to go to Yongliang just because I didn't want Liu Xuande's reputation to be damaged. After all, he spent a lot of effort to do that.
As for the others...he didn't want to lift that person out, let alone give up that Tian Chou's life.
If you continue to be greedy, be careful that that guy Tian Chou uses the banner of Han Sui and commits suicide under Chang'an City. "
Guo Tu sneered and Xun You silently shut his mouth. What Guo Tu said was indeed a solution.
Liu Bei and Fu Xie were in a dilemma because one of their troops appeared at the gate of Chang'an City.
But if Tian Chou takes the initiative to announce that he is Han Sui's general, everything is Han Sui's plan, and then Liu Bei and Fu Xie take the initiative to destroy them under Chang'an City.
This matter has passed.
Moreover, all the dirty things were placed on Han Sui, and they were all plotted against.
At most, Fu Xie was lax in his command, while Liu Bei was blind and mistrustful of others.
Things like fame slowly make the truth disappear.
It's just that Guo Tu knew that the father and son would not agree to this unless it was absolutely necessary.
Although he has never met Liu Bei, he also knows that Liu Bei will not agree to it unless he has to, whether he wants it or not.
Do you really think that Yan Zhong personally gave the order just because he was anxious?
It hasn't reached this state yet, just because Liu Bei hasn't been forced to a dead end yet, or Liu Bei can't do such a thing.
No matter what the reason is, this strategy cannot be passed on to Liu Bei from Gongsun Zhu and make this decision for Liu Bei.
Xun You looked at the sneering Guo Tu and the gloomy-looking Gongsun Zhu and finally just nodded silently. At this moment, he seemed to have turned into the extremely dull Xun Gongda again, just like the paralyzed Xun Gongda.
"Four fast horses, one guard, a certain family will go to Chang'an in five days."
Xun You's words were simple and clear, and his request was met by Gongsun Zhu as quickly as possible. He even sent Ma Chao to Xun You's side personally to ensure nothing went wrong.
This was the only place where he could help Liu Bei. He couldn't let Han Sui ruin a good situation.
It took five days to fly to Chang'an and two days to prepare.
Until meeting Liu Bei at this time, Xun You already knew everything.
After the two talked secretly for a long time, more than ten fast horses galloped away from Liu Bei's camp that day. At the same time, Liu Bei made the army ready to fight at any time.
Fu Xie was also comforted by Liu Bei and asked him to wait patiently for a few days.
Three days later, a message suddenly appeared in the land of Yongliang.
The Yizhou Yellow Turban Ma Xiang who was supposed to be killed by Jia Long appeared again in Longyou County. At the same time, a group of people with yellow turbans on their heads also appeared around Chang'an and headed towards Chang'an.
Just when everyone was confused, Liu Bei quickly returned to Longyou. Tian Chou, who was chasing Han Sui, turned around and attacked the Chang'an Yellow Turban that suddenly appeared.
At the same time, Gongsun Zhu's memorial spread quickly throughout the world through a certain person's relationship.
"Yizhou Yellow Turban Ma Xiang was defeated by Jia Long after he proclaimed himself emperor in Yizhou, but he luckily escaped and hid in Yongliang with the intention of rebelling again, and was known to Liu Bei, the captain of the Qiang Protector.
In order to induce the horse phase to appear, this strategy had to be devised to evacuate Yongliang.
Now that Ma Xiang has appeared, Liu Bei, the captain of the Qiang Protector, and Fu Xie, the governor of Liangzhou, went to arrest him personally.
He also cut off his hair in public to plead guilty to the court on his behalf. When the matter was urgent, he had to do it in order to protect his privacy! "
The spread of this memorial was far faster than anything before, and Liu Bei's reputation began to change for a while.
The only person who could prove Liu Bei's lies was Liu Yan, who could produce Prime Minister Ma's head, but his two roads out of Yizhou were blocked by Liu Bei and his son.
At the same time, another letter from Liu Bei and Han Sui questioning Han Sui also spread to the world.
"Why did Han Sui want to plunder the people of Chang'an when he had clearly agreed to lure the snakes out? What was Han Sui's intention?"
To this end, they also took the initiative to produce several letters and silks as evidence of their "correspondence" with Han Sui, and asked him to come and question whether the letters were his own handwriting.
Who in the world knows Han Sui's handwriting, unless Han Sui appears in front of the two of them and confronts them face to face, but if he dares to stop, Zhao Zilong's more than a thousand elite cavalry will dare to take his head first.
