In a relatively ordinary large house in Xuchang, there was an old man with white hair and beard who was feeling sad.
It was none other than the loyal minister Xun Yu who was driven away by Liu Xie.
In fact, Xun Yu never left Xuchang from beginning to end and stayed in the city.
This is the power and means of the Xun family.
As long as he didn't want to be discovered, even if he lived under Liu Xie's nose, there would be no news.
After leaving the court, Xun Yu was still very reluctant to leave.
All this great situation was brought about by him, so how could he be willing to give up everything and leave?
But as time went by, Xun Yu felt heartbroken.
Due to Xun Gou's evil deeds, the originally prosperous situation was cut off in half.
Even the city of Xuchang is smoky.
At one point, Xun Yu wanted to take the initiative to help save the situation.
But he couldn't pull this face off.
As the saying goes, if you treat me as a countryman, I will treat you as a countryman; if you treat me as a public servant, I will treat you as a public servant.
Liu Xie treated him worse than anyone else, like trash!
Why did Xun Yu help such a fatuous master?
If he can't swallow this breath, Xun Yu will never leave the mountain!
But at this moment, the situation completely collapsed.
States, prefectures, and counties broke away from the control of the imperial court one after another and raised their own banners.
These were not done by Xun Yu at all.
Seeing that the great situation he had created step by step was about to be completely destroyed, Xun Yu finally couldn't sit still.
But at this moment, there was another scandal about Xun Gou embezzling the food and pay of Mo soldiers!
The Fuhan army that Xuchang finally pulled up almost mutinied!
It’s okay to do evil, but you still dare to commit corruption!
What's even more annoying is that Liu Xie didn't kill Xun Gou to correct military law.
Xun Yu was furious and immediately gave up the urge to go out.
At this moment, even he felt that Liu Xie was exhausted.
There is no need to save anything.
When he learned that Xun Gou was leading the Fuhan Army to attack Liu Zhang, Xun Yu knew that everything was over.
He knew very well Xun Gou's ability, let alone fighting, he didn't even have the ability to march.
As expected, Xun Gou surrendered directly and dedicated the entire Xuchang to Liu Zhang.
Everything ends here, the Han Dynasty and the imperial court are over!
Even if Xun Yu comes out of the mountain, it will not help.
From a certain point in time, Xun Yu knew that he had no way to save himself.
In fact, what Xun Yu didn't know was that he never really turned things around.
Everything is in vain.
Now that Liu Zhang has captured Xuchang and Liu Xie has fallen into Liu Zhang's hands, it is truly over.
However, at the moment of relief, Xun Yu could not let go.
The belief in my heart completely collapsed, and there was no chance of recovery.
Even he himself is in danger.
Xun Yu couldn't help but have a question in his mind.
Is it really right to drive away Cao Cao and support Liu Xie?
What would happen if Cao Cao was still alive?
At this moment, a cheerful voice came from outside the door.
"Is Xun Lingjun questioning the decision he made?"
This voice cheered up the depressed Xun Yu, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared.
He didn't know who the owner of this voice was, but he was very sure of it.
He stood up shakily, walked to the door and slowly opened it.
The person in front of him once again made him energetic.
Their eyes met, and the past came to mind involuntarily.
The person coming is none other than Liu Zhang!
The last time we met was almost thirty years ago!
"We haven't seen you for many years. How is Xun Lingjun always doing?"
Xun Yu opened his mouth without making a sound. He was silent for a long time before revealing a self-deprecating smile.
Then he touched his hair and beard and sighed.
"Hey, what a gray-haired, useless person."
"Unlike the King of Qin, he is so heroic that he dominates the world..."
Liu Zhang was also sighing.
If he remembered correctly, Xun Yu was not yet fifty years old.
But with this old age, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is seventy or eighty years old.
Thinking about it, the depression started when Cao Cao became king, and then he experienced sad experiences such as Cao Cao becoming king, supporting Liu Xie to rise to power, and then being abandoned by Liu Xie.
Otherwise, how could such a capable person be destroyed like this?
Recalling his first meeting with Xun Yu, Liu Zhang still remembered it freshly.
Tall, handsome, and a handsome gentleman!
How many girls have been intoxicated by the sachet that they carry with them?
Now, he is already an old man!
"Wen Ruo, why don't you invite me to come in and sit down?"
Xun Yu nodded and stepped aside half of his body.
"Please, King Qin."
Liu Zhang nodded and started walking inside.
Dian Wei immediately stopped him.
"Prince Qin, let me go in first..."
"No need."
Liu Zhang waved his hand.
"Gu and Wenruo have known each other for many years. Although they have only been together for a short time, their friendship is profound!"
"If Wen Ruo harms Gu, Gu will die without any regrets."
After saying that, he ignored Dian Wei and walked in on his own.
Xun Yu had no expression on his face, closed the door and followed him.
The two sat separately as guest and host, and Liu Zhang ordered tea for Xun Yu like a host.
"Wen Ruo, today I will have tea instead of wine to celebrate this reunion."
Xun Yu was not pretentious.
"Please, King Qin."
"Wen Ruo please!"
The two raised their glasses to each other and drank it all in one gulp.
"Just now, King Qin asked me, do you question the decision you made? May I ask King Qin, which decision?"
Liu Zhang smiled and put the teacup back on the table without pouring any more tea.
"Wen Ruo has made countless decisions in his life, which have affected thousands of people!"
"For example, leaving Yuan Shao and defecting to Cao Cao, such as defending Zhencheng to the death and giving Cao Cao a chance to breathe, or Guandu, or driving Cao Cao away not long ago, etc."
"It can be said that a large part of the world is controlled by you, Xun Wenruo. Your words and deeds affect the entire world!"
Xun Yu was slightly startled, not expecting to hear such a comment from Liu Zhang.
After calming down for a while, he took the initiative to straighten up and pour tea.
The new cloud flow of movements is in sharp contrast to the gray-haired appearance.
"I, a mediocre person, would not dare to be praised like this by the King of Qin."
"Eh!"
Liu Zhang raised his hand and showed his disapproval of this sentence with his actions.
"If Wen Ruo were all mediocre people, there would be no smart people in this world."
Xun Yu smiled, a little helpless and a little self-deprecating.
"In this case, I can only tell King Qin that I will not regret anything I did."
“If God’s will is this, how can it be resisted by human beings?”
