After the banquet was over, Wen Nu personally sent Yuan Shu and the others to the door, then ordered his men to bring the horses and said, "Brother Gonglu, we have to say goodbye today, but I don't know when we will see each other again."
"Brother Qiu Xiandi has kept his kindness to Nu in his heart. If others need help from Hui Xiangnu, just speak up."
"After this farewell, I hope that my dear brother, Mr. Gu, can soar to the ninth heaven and look at the mountains and seas of the world with a smile."
"Don't take it seriously!"
It can be seen that Wen Nu respects Yuan Shu from the bottom of his heart. In fact, Wen Nu just asked Yuan Shu to help him, a person he had only met a few times, with the idea of giving it a try.
But he didn't expect Yuan Shu to really agree to him. Maybe this is why Wen Nu was impressed by Yuan Shu.
After Yuan Shu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rode on their horses, they said: "Then I accept Brother Wen's kindness. Let's not gossip about Shu. If Brother Wen comes to Luoyang, just come to see Shu."
"Shu will definitely entertain Brother Wen well then. Farewell!"
Wen Nu also bowed and said: "Farewell!"
Then with the brilliance of the setting sun, Yuan Shu led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to leave the prefect's mansion.
Wen Nu looked at Yuan Shu's leaving figure and sighed: "Yuan Shu, Yuan Gongli. You are not a thing in the pool. Maybe the identity gap between the two of us will be even greater when we meet next time."
"Eh!"
After sighing, Wen Nu also entered the prefect's mansion. The next thing he needs is to make a good plan on how to sell his place. Maybe he will leave for Luoyang tomorrow.
After leaving the city gate, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also had many questions in their minds that they wanted to ask Yuan Shu, but after thinking for a long time, they did not speak out.
But Yuan Shu seemed to have thought of it and said, "Two worthy brothers, if you don't understand anything, just ask if you have any doubts."
"Brother will try his best to explain it clearly to you. After all, you will be exposed to many things here in the future."
Yuan Shu wanted not only to train Guan Yu and Zhang Fei into military generals, but also to train them into a true general with both civil and military skills.
Moreover, Guan Yu's arrogant and arrogant character must be completely changed to avoid causing big mistakes in the future.
Zhang Fei heard what Yuan Shu said, so he asked directly: "Brother, why did Prefect Wen ask you to borrow money just now?"
"You are so cheerful, and Prefect Wen is also a corrupt official who takes advantage of the people's wealth. Isn't this the elder brother's aid to the evil?"
Yuan Shu did not answer Zhang Fei's question immediately, but said: "Does the second brother think so too?"
Guan Yu met Yuan Shu's gaze and said, "To be honest with you brother, Yun Chang does think so."
Yuan Shu: "Hahaha, you two worthy brothers. Your ideas are not wrong, and I can tell you responsibly."
"There's nothing wrong at all, it's just that this idea doesn't apply to this world."
"Besides, you only saw the surface of the matter. But you didn't see any other problems. That's why you think it's inappropriate for me to lend money to Governor Wen."
Yuan Shu ignored Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and continued: "Third brother, let me ask you. What was the scene like in Zhuojun before Prefect Wen?"
"How does it compare now to before?"
Zhang Fei thought for a moment, fiddled with the folding fan in his hand and said, "In the past few years, there have been almost no cases in Zhuo County, and I have never heard of any robberies."
"It's just that from time to time, people complain that life is too difficult and they can barely make ends meet."
"And in recent years, many foreigners have come here to make a living. Even many of the maids in my house are from other places."
"But, what does this have to do with Governor Wen being a corrupt official?"
Guan Yu also agreed very much with what Zhang Fei said.
It's just that they don't understand the hardships involved and the price they have to pay.
Yuan Shu said: "This is a deeper problem. First of all, third brother, you just said that in recent years, even outsiders have come to this place to make a living."
"Based on this alone, do you still think that Wen Nu is an incompetent person?"
"To be honest, Wen Nu is a corrupt official. But the person who really exploits the people is not him, but all the aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen in Zhuo County."
"First, the absence of robbers or criminals is enough to prove that Wen Nu managed Zhuojun very well and did his best."
"Second, many beggars die every day in Luoyang for various reasons, because the people everywhere are almost dying."
"Also, as long as a girl from an ordinary family in Luoyang is attracted, Jiu will have no choice but to accept her fate or seek death. This is true under the emperor's feet, let alone those remote places."
"So, do you two wise brothers understand anything?"
In Luoyang, a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. Even a small Huangmen in the palace dared to blackmail officials, even though he, Yuan Shu, had been blackmailed after he was the fourth generation and the third Duke.
If they don't obey, who knows what these eunuchs will say in the emperor's ears.
Although Luoyang is rich, it is not a world for the common people. It is the base camp of some monsters and monsters. They not only suck the people's fat and people's ointment, but also break the bones and suck the marrow.
In a place like this, even if Yuan Shu has systematic help, he can still walk on thin ice. Unless he wants to rebel now, he will have to endure this.
Zhang Fei: "When will this world see a dawn that belongs to the people of Li? Thank you very much for your guidance."
"Yide has learned a lesson!"
Yuan Shu looked at Guan Yu and said, "Does Yun Chang understand?"
Guan Yu: "Brother, Yun Chang has also learned a lesson."
"As long as you compare these things carefully, you will understand the difference. Zhuo County is indeed much better than Hedong County. At least Yunchang has not seen anyone who betrays his head by inserting a knife into his head."
Yuan Shu: "Okay, since the two wise brothers understand."
"Let's go back to the third brother's house now. After he settles down with his family, I will take you two to Luoyang."
"I believe it won't be long before these two good brothers will be of use."
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu: "I listen to my elder brother in everything."
Yuan Shu smiled: "Let's go, third brother, lead the way. Try to get to your mansion before the sun sets. Then we can rest for the night before discussing the matter of going to Luoyang."
Then Zhang Fei rode in front of Yuan Shu and Guan Yu, but the three of them had a tacit understanding and didn't say another word about Guan Yu's past.
Night fell quickly, and Yuan Shu and the other three hurried to Zhang Fei's mansion before it was completely dark.
At this time, they were drinking and chatting, nothing more than things that happened after arriving in Luoyang.
Yuan Shu: "Two worthy brothers, I am going to Luoyang this time to sell my official position, and I also want to move all the members and assets of my Yuan family to Nanyang."
"This is also for planning for the future, so I hope that my two worthy brothers will go to Nanyang with me when the time comes."
Zhang Fei: "Brother, there is something unclear about Yide. The eldest brother is the fourth generation and the third prince, and there is a high probability that he will inherit this position in the future."
"Why should we sacrifice the near and seek the far away and go to Nanyang to be a small prefect?"
"In my opinion, this is not as good as becoming one of the three princes in the future."
Not only Zhang Fei had this question, but Guan Yu also had this question. After all, no matter how they thought about it, they could never imagine why Yuan Shu would do this and give up their own bright future.
And it was naturally impossible for Yuan Shu to tell the two of them that the Yellow Turbans would be in rebellion soon, and all the heroes in the world would be fighting for hegemony, and the name of the emperor would be in name only.
And Luoyang will only be Dong Zhuo's back garden by then. It is absolutely impossible to tell Guan Yu and Zhang Fei what they know about these things.
Moreover, in order to prevent Yuan Shu from telling the truth while drunk or telling his true past in his dreams, he paid 100,000 gold to ask the system to help stop these possible things from happening when he was very young.
And even when he is awake, if someone reminds Yuan Shu about his past, the system will give an alarm and Yuan Shu will wake up immediately.
Yuan Shu: "Two worthy brothers, we, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, have already become extremely popular ministers."
"Nowadays, the imperial court is basically ruled by eunuchs. The real danger is us ministers."
"That's why I had no choice but to leave Luoyang to protect myself and my family. This is also the end of a strong man's wrist."
Yuan Shu had no choice but to fool Zhang Fei and Guan Yu in this way, and what he said was not bad. Now in Luoyang, the power of a small Huangmen minister is comparable to that of a third-rank minister, let alone a ten-rank minister.
Therefore, regardless of whether the Yellow Turban Army begins to rebel in the future or the Eighteenth Route Princes move to Zhuolu Central Plains, it is the best choice to leave Luoyang for development now.
Moreover, even if Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang army settled in Luoyang in the future, they would not be able to restrict the Yuan family, and he would be able to do his own things more confidently and boldly.
Zhang Fei took a sip of wine and said: "It turns out that the eldest brother has already thought carefully about it, but I was too hasty."
"In that case, I will sell all my belongings and move my family to Nanyang early tomorrow morning."
"In this way, we don't have to worry about the safety of our family, and we can also support my eldest brother in Nanyang. It can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."
"The second brother can also accompany the eldest brother to Luoyang to act as a guard for the eldest brother's family to prevent bandits and young people on the road from causing trouble."
I have to say that Zhang Fei still has enough courage and courage as in history. Now he only recognized Yuan Shu as his eldest brother, and dared to put his own family on the line to bet on this glory and wealth.
He was not worried that Yuan Shu would deceive him. He was indeed the first person in history to support Liu Bei. This courage alone is better than most people. Even Guan Yu, who is sitting together now, is shocked by Zhang Fei's actions.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Yuan Shu smiled and said, "My third brother's words reminded me. I have decided that the trip to Luoyang is enough for me to go back alone."
