Xun Shuang is a decent person.
No matter where you go or who you visit, you all understand the principle of "it's not strange to be polite to others". Open the way with courtesy and greet everyone with a smile, so no matter who you are, you can have a good relationship.
When Liu Bei visited Liu Bei this time, he prepared a large number of gifts and brought more than ten followers, carrying box after box to the mansion, making the scene quite lively.
"It's just that Duke Xun is here to visit. Why do you need to bring so many gifts?"
"Hahahaha, don't disturb Xuande. They are just crude objects. It's okay if Xuande doesn't dislike them, hahahaha."
Xun Shuang stepped forward and took Liu Bei's hand, then walked inside with him.
"I saw you busy in the past few days, so I didn't bring Gongda here to bother you. I just came today, don't bother me?"
Liu Bei turned to look at Xun You, who was following them with his head lowered, and shook his head with a smile.
"Why bother? It's an honor for Mr. Xun to come."
"Ha ha ha ha,
The two sat down and faced Liu Bei face to face.
"I have heard of Gongda's reputation in Luoyang, and Wenruo, who is equally famous as you, has passed my test and is currently working under me and doing very well. Since you are as famous as him, He must have very good abilities, but is that so?"
Liu Bei asked Xun You straight to the point.
Xun You bowed slightly.
"No one knows better than you how we got our reputation. Compared with the reputation gained by your bloody battles on the battlefield, it's better not to show our reputation, otherwise it will stain your reputation." Ears, it’s our fault.”
He is somewhat self-aware and knows how his children got their reputation.
Xun Shuang seemed a little embarrassed, but he quickly covered it up.
Liu Bei then laughed.
"Very good. I like people who are self-aware, and I also like people who are frank. As long as a person has a clear understanding of himself, he will not ignore the favor given by others. Such people are also worthy of promotion and appointment, Wen If this is the case.
Before I see how you do things in detail, I won't make any comments about you. I think practice is the main basis for judging whether a person has talent or not. If you want to do things, do them seriously and down-to-earth. Approved? "
"Everything is at your discretion."
Xun You nodded and said: "You think you are good at military affairs, but the prince is also good at military affairs. You don't know the topography and hydrology of Liangzhou, so you don't dare to talk nonsense in front of the prince. Please allow you to arrive." After Liangzhou, we will take measures for the princes."
"It would be a good thing if you are good at military affairs."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Liangzhou lacks everything except for battles to fight. Although I wiped out two major Xianbei tribes before, the threat of the Xianbei people has not been eliminated. The Shaodang Qiang in Jincheng County have been pacified by me, but The Baima Qiang and Shenlang Qiang around Wudu and Longxi are still looking at us, these are the disasters I want to eliminate."
Xun You pays his respects again.
"I would like to provide you with the details."
"good."
Liu Bei smiled and looked at Xun Shuang: "Wen Ruo is good at government affairs, and Gongda is good at military affairs. From now on, I will not be short of resourceful people around me. Mr. Xun, I have to thank you for this."
"Why do you need to thank me? I want to thank you, Xuande."
Xun Shuang smiled and said: "Liangzhou is bitterly cold and there is little money for food. This time the Xun family still has some food savings. They will be given to Xuande to plan for Liangzhou. They will send people to Liangzhou later. Xuande should not be too dissatisfied. ."
"The kindness of Duke Xun will never be forgotten."
Liu Bei expressed his gratitude to Xun Shuang and accepted Xun Shuang's unknown amount of money and food again.
After a brief conversation, Liu Bei sent Xun Shuang and Xun You out of the house, and told Xun You to go to his house at 04:00 tomorrow to prepare for departure, and to take all his luggage with him.
On the way back, Xun Shuang explained some things to Xun You.
"Liu Xuande has the aura of great talent and great strategy, and he is a member of the Han clan. He is bound to achieve great things. Under his command, you should try your best to stand out and make contributions, and try to make him appreciate you and trust you. Don't make mistakes. Do you understand?"
"You know."
Xun You nodded and said: "You admire a hero like Fan Yanghou very much. It is your luck to be able to work under him. He had corresponded with Wen Ruo before, and Wen Ruo said that there are many talents under Fan Yanghou's command, and they are very capable. In a short time, In more than a year, Liangzhou has undergone great changes, and You yearn for it."
"In just over a year, Liangzhou went from rebellions to being able to take the initiative to send troops to the Northern Expedition and wipe out most of the two Xianbei tribes."
Xun Shuang sighed: "Liu Xuande has really done a lot of things for Liangzhou, and Liangzhou has really undergone drastic changes. He is only twenty-six years old. Apart from his talent and luck, I really don't know How to describe this person.
Ordinary people simply can't imagine why the Liangzhou Rebellion, which the imperial court could not resolve for more than a hundred years, stabilized the situation in more than a year after Liu Xuande passed away. There are some things that even I can't figure out. After you go and see it, you may be able to understand. . "
Xun You nodded, indicating that he understood.
The next day, Xun You arrived at Liu Bei's mansion in advance, followed Liu Bei's large troops, and slowly left Luoyang surrounded by everyone.
And not an hour after Liu Bei left Luoyang, an order suddenly came from the palace.
Huangfusong, the former general and governor of Bingzhou, was defeated in the war, lost his troops and generals, lost the face of the court, and put the court and the emperor into danger. His crime was unpardonable, so he ordered his execution.
This news set off a great wave of exaggeration both inside and outside the government. The ancient literary school was happy about this, while the modern literary school was shocked by it.
Yang Biao and officials under Yang's influence broke their legs and bent their backs from exhaustion. They ran various activities in the hope of getting the emperor to take his life back, but all failed.
All the sources they had access to conveyed one meaning to them - the emperor's will was unshakable and Huangfu Song was bound to die.
Yang Biao, who was far away in Hongnong's hometown to pay filial piety to his father Yang Ci, soon got the exact news. He fell down at home on the spot, trembling in his heart.
Not only did Huangfusong lose his life, he was also liquidated by Liu Hong.
All official positions, titles, and court rewards he received were all taken back by the court. His family members who had official titles and imperial favors were all demoted to common people and would never be used again.
His family property was ordered by Liu Hong to be inspected by Liu Bei, the shepherd of Liangzhou, and all the proceeds were returned to the public.
This news was a huge blow to the Jinwen School. At least this time, the Jinwen School completely lost. The newly established military agents also failed, and the school's plan to transform into a military force also went bankrupt. .
There is no doubt that the power of the modern literature school has suffered a heavy blow, but the ancient literature school is not so happy about this.
