After Liu Bei returned to the camp, senior generals and advisers such as Guan Yu and Xun You were also inevitably coming to discuss military information, telling about the recent situation of the enemy that they had observed today, and by the way, see if there are any areas that require planning adjustments.

Of course, Liu Bei knew the right way, so he recounted what Zhuge Liang discussed with him from Li Su's strategic considerations and discussed with his confidants.

After hearing this, Xun You was quite amazed, saying that he initially considered it from a purely military perspective and indeed wanted to adjust his plan. However, Li Su's considerations were more profound and he combined politics and military to calculate.

After praising her, Xun You had an idea and sighed without hesitation:

"The Right General was really good at it. I heard that when Luoyang was serving the king, he also taught General Zhao a lot of precautions, so that Yang Yi did not make the harm of burning Luoyang uncontrollable. This time, he was thinking about protecting all officials and the people everywhere, and it was not easy for the ancestral temples, country and royal palaces."

Xun You said this, and wanted to further establish a good relationship with Li Su, and to make a comeback that day when he thought that "he saw through Li Su might want to deliberately kill someone with a knife."

On the one hand, it is because he has indeed seen many of Li Su's arrangements in recent days, and he is indeed protecting all officials and the people, unlike the person who is doing cleaning.

On the other hand, because he arrived in Chang'an for a long time, Xun You straightened out the causes and consequences, realizing that "even if Li Su advised Liu Bei to chase and bite Li Jue more relentlessly, he could not stop the first wave of purges in Chang'an City and the emperor's escape."

Because of the consequences, history has proved that Li Su's intention at that time was to "frame" Duan Wei by "using Dong Cheng's intention to collude with Duan Wei with the robbery", forcing Duan Wei to turn against Li Jie out of fear.

But in fact, the final result proved that Li Su was not a "false accusation" and Dong Cheng really did this.

Therefore, calling a modern concept of criminal law, Li Su can only be regarded as an attempt because the specific criminal object does not exist during the act.

To speak human words, Li Su wanted to accuse Duan Wei and force Dong Cheng to counterfeit Duan Wei with the subjective motive of slandering. However, because Dong Cheng really took the initiative to do this, Li Su's slandering actually came true. The objective result was that there was no infringement of "innocence and legal interests", so the attempted false accusation became a true lawsuit.

Since this is the case, Dong Cheng and Duan Wei's case and actions must be faster than Li Su's reaction, so no matter how fast Li Su is, he cannot be faster than Dong Cheng. Then Li Su should not be responsible for the "people who died more because of delaying chasing Li Jue" in Chang'an City from beginning to end.

This pot belongs to Dong Cheng 100%.

As a result, Xun You suddenly felt that he had shown up to Li Su on the night of the day in Linjing County. He became a little stupid. It would be better to know nothing and continue to pretend to be confused. Now he has become "true. Judging a gentleman's ambition by the heart of a villain."

This made Xun You want to make up for it and completely eliminate Li Su's possible suspicion of "delaying and watching to kill someone with a knife" in Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei is focused on it now and has not yet developed such suspicion about Li Su, but after a long time in the future, when recalling it, he may not be able to think in this direction.

As a result, today he heard Liu Bei reposting Li Su's clever arrangements that "makes the country" and Xun You felt that the time to make up for it was coming.

After returning from Liu Bei, Xun Yousizhi repeatedly decided to invite Duan Wei to have two drinks in the evening.

As a surrendered general, Duan Wei was still General Pingdong, but he did not dare to underestimate Xun You, and he came when he was treated.

After three rounds of wine, Xun You showed up and said to Duan Wei: "General Duan, I will say something straight. In the past few days, I have calmed down and calculated the actions of all parties in Chang'an during the days when Li Jie was defeated, and the actions of all parties in Chang'an have been caused by the consequences.

The reaction of Liang Xing of your subordinate Liang Xing was really quick and gratifying. He was able to escape the butcher knife of Li Jue's liquidation and withdraw thousands of remnants of the direct troops back to Tongguan. The time he reacted was actually earlier than that of Li Jue's defeated envoy. In this way, it was true that you and Dong Cheng conspired to rescue him."

Of course, Xun You didn't know whether Duan Wei sent a secret envoy Liang Meng before the decisive battle to warn Liang Xing in advance to lead his troops to escape from Li Jue's control.

But Xun You can know that either Duan Wei sent a secret envoy to inform Liang Xingpao, or Duan Weizhen and Dong Cheng had already colluded with him, and Li Su's so-called false accusation was not false at all. Among these two possibilities, one must be right, and it is impossible that neither of them exists.

What Xun You is not sure about is which one to choose from.

His question forced Duan Wei to choose one and admit one.

Duan Wei didn't expect that his move to send an envoy to preserve his strength would eventually develop like this, so Duan Wei was also upset.

Seeing that Xun You made the words clear, he also hoped that Xun You would teach him, "Who should I choose one of two to admit, and which one is more beneficial to me in the long run."

"I'll ask Xun to teach me." Duan Wei thought about it for a while, but he was too lazy to use his brain. Seeing that there was no one around, he knew that Xun You must have wanted to give him a tip, so he asked directly.

Xun You smiled stiffly with a blank expression: "Whatever you did is what you did, why do you ask me to teach you? However, I can analyze the pros and cons of various practices.

The chaos in the past was nothing more than two possibilities: one was that the general conspired with Dong Cheng, and directly made the goal clear that he wanted to rescue him and go to Huayin. The Right General used the letter to you by Fei Shi, but just pointed it out and exposed you, forcing you to turn against him in the Jingyuan battlefield.

The second possibility is that Dong Cheng also reserved the general and did not tell him everything. When the general was transferred from Chang'an by Li Jue, he just helped Dong Cheng loosely and asked him to help you take care of the troops you stayed in Jingzhao so that he would not be annexed by Li Juetu.

It was only Dong Cheng who took advantage of the general's trust in him that the general was so swept away from the situation where his Majesty was taken to rescue him and asked His Majesty to abandon all officials in the ancestral temple to escape alone. Of course, this is not a bad thing, after all, His Majesty is safe.

But it is impossible to do this better? If His Majesty does not leave, will Li Jue be so crazy that he will cause such damage, and it is impossible to assume that he will be gay in the future..."

Duan Wei realized when he heard this that admitting to being exploited by Dong Cheng seemed to be more cost-effective than admitting that he was highly accomplice with Dong Cheng, and at least it would be more beneficial to him to get along with the emperor and Liu Bei, and no one would offend him.

Of course, we must make a little contribution to the emperor, because as long as he does not say that he is a conspirator throughout the process, he can only be the second contribution to the "rescue of the Lord", and Dong Cheng is the only first contribution to the majority.

But Duan Wei is a person who seeks profit and avoids harm. In front of the two forces of the emperor and Liu Bei, the former is a little less successful, and in exchange for the latter is not offended at all, which is still a good deal.

It’s like option A: Liu Xie’s relationship +10, Liu Bei’s relationship -8; option B: Liu Xie’s relationship +5, Liu Bei’s relationship remains unchanged.

For those who seek stability and protect their vested interests, of course, choose B.

Duan Wei immediately replied: "Of course I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I have a good relationship with General Dong Cheng, and I am helping each other. However, I really don't know about the matter of saving the car. He called my troops."

Xun You: "That's wrong? If you are not fully informed, why did Liang Xing suddenly follow Dong Cheng a day before Li Jue's secret envoy who urgently reported the defeated army to return to Beijing? Liang Xing and Dong Cheng could not have predicted that Li Jue would be defeated earlier than Li Jue's envoy."

Duan Wei gritted his teeth: "I was after Fei Shifei was lobbying in my account, and sent a secret envoy to Liang Xing that night! But my secret letter just asked him to find an opportunity to protect himself and help Dong Cheng to preserve his strength. Dong Cheng later used my trust."

Xun You finally smiled: "Since that's the case, why not say it earlier? General Duan, I think you will find an opportunity tomorrow to be invisible and tell these words to the King of Hanzhong. You are nothing wrong, you just want to preserve your strength. It is normal for human nature that the King of Hanzhong will not take it to your heart.

On the contrary, if you don’t say anything, the king will notice it yourself in the future, but it will be unbeautiful. If you feel that you are inconvenient in your eloquence and cannot find the right opportunity to speak. You will come to the Central Army tent for lunch tomorrow, and I will be there. I will help you create an opportunity to speak and help you pick up the topic."

Duan Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He clearly helped each other, but he felt that he owed Boss Xun You a favor: "Thank you, Xun Jun for bothering about this little thing!"

...

At noon the next day, Duan Wei went to Liu Bei's military camp as promised, looking for an excuse to report on the deployment of the besieged troops.

Liu Bei took it for granted that Duan Wei was having a meal together. Xun You happened to be chatting with Wen Junji. At the dinner table, several people started chatting. Xun You cleverly helped Duan Wei support the role, without any trace, saying, "Liang Xing was so lucky to run away with Dong Cheng."

Duan Wei then took the conversation and said innocently and negligently: "Oh? Have I not told the king about this? It's all because of the complicated military situation these days and I was negligent. I thought I had already said this. Actually, I sent a messenger to Liang Xing in advance."

When Liu Bei first heard this, he didn't care, and his food was the same. But Xun You pretended to be down and sighed and helped him answer the joke: "What? General Duan, you have sent a messenger to let Liang Xing run away? It turned out that he was used by Dong Cheng?

Alas, in this way, we persuaded the lord to go on a double road in Linjing to pursue Li Jue relentlessly to prevent the Chang'an City defenders from reacting too early to kill General Duan's deployment. No matter how fast we can, we can only send messengers after the decisive battle with Li Jue. How can we send messengers after knowing the results of the battle? How can we send messengers before General Duan has fought?

From this we can also see that human intelligence still has an end. That time I was still very careful about myself and was complacent about thinking about this. In the end, I had to do one more step, and it was useless to forget it. It was really God's will. Xun planned for several years, but no plan could really defeat the Right General in both causal and effect. We still have to work hard."

Before Liu Bei could react to Xun You's deep meaning, he just ate the pickled horse meat while comforting: "What's the big deal? Gongda, you have helped me a lot, don't always compare with Bear...

Hum? But then, this catastrophe in Chang'an City was ultimately Dong Cheng was reckless. He didn't think clearly about how Li Jue would be crazy after His Majesty was kidnapped."

Before Liu Bei knew it, he completely attributed all the consequences of Li Jue's crazy harm in Chang'an City to Dong Cheng.

And let alone, this statement later became the standard interpretation of outsiders at the same time. Even if it was an enemy of Liu Bei's camp, if you wanted to criticize Liu Bei and Li Su, you would not be able to. In this matter, you have to admit that "Dong Cheng has made great contributions to the rescue, but at the same time, you have to bear certain responsibility for the killing of all officials in Chang'an City by Li Jue's excessive reaction, while other people in the anti-Li Jue's camp do not have to bear historical responsibility at all."
