Liu Xie came down from Chongde Hall, his face was gloomy and the corners of his mouth were trembling.
At first glance, it seemed that he was still in the late stages of anger, but in fact he was trying his best to control himself from turning up the corners of his mouth.
This is so difficult...
Cao Mengde, you also have today!
At present, the battle between Shandong and Guanzhong is raging. According to common sense, in the face of pressure from foreign enemies, all forces in Shandong should unite and jointly fight against the hussars in Guanzhong.
However, the reality is far from simple.
Especially when Cao Cao's current situation becomes more difficult, it becomes more difficult for the gentry disciples in Shandong to gather their thoughts together.
The descendants of the gentry in Shandong each have their own plans and interests to consider.
Some of them may value the long-term interests of the family, hope to preserve their strength, and are unwilling to lose too much in an uncertain battle; some may have doubts about Cao Cao's leadership ability, thinking that his decision-making led to the outcome of the war.
disadvantages, thus losing confidence in him; others may have ulterior motives, trying to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to expand their influence, or even seek greater power.
Under such circumstances, even in the face of a common enemy, it is difficult to form true unity within Shandong.
Everyone is making their own calculations, calculating their own interests and gains.
As the nominal emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie was not trying to stabilize his internal emotions when facing such internal contradictions and dilemmas, but was trying to seek the expansion of his own rights...
The small-peasant ideology of the feudal landlord class under the manor economy is vividly displayed in Xu County, Shandong Province.
One third of an acre, hey!
Liu Xie wandered around the one-third of an acre of land in his house. After entering the ancestral temple, he finally took off his mask. He was afraid that the little yellow gate or the imperial guard guarding outside the ancestral temple would hear about it, so he covered his mouth with his hands, and poof
It was puffing and puffing.
The dominance of Cao Cao's family did not bring any benefit to Liu Xie.
The system of the Han Dynasty consists of three public servants and nine ministers!
Liu Xie secretly enjoyed himself for a while, sitting cross-legged under the table enshrining the ancestral tablets and thinking.
Although he hates Cao Cao, Cao Cao cannot collapse, at least not now, at least until Liu Xie finds a successor...
Xun Yu? Huh, no. This guy is almost a dog under Cao Cao. So, Liu Ye? Not very good. There is no problem in the scriptures, but there is a big problem in the military.
Yes, the military.
Liu Xie's brows furrowed, and after a full round of calculations, he found that there was no one in Shandong who could command the troops.
You can’t just go find Zang Ba?!
When I hear this name, I don’t believe it.
Liu Xie thought about it over and over, frowning deeply, and then realized that things were not as simple as he originally thought. Yes, it seems natural to defeat Cao Cao, but what happens after defeating Cao Cao? Such a situation
Big stall, what to do?
Unconsciously, Liu Xie walked out of the ancestral temple again.
The expression on his face was really troubled this time, and his brows were furrowed.
I raised my eyes and took a sneak peek at a small yellow door deep in the corridor, then quickly lowered my head.
…
…
There was chaos outside the window, and the light from some lanterns seemed to be coming from far, far away.
When the fine wind squeezed through the window lintels and the cracks in the house, it made a whining sound, as if someone was secretly crying.
I don't know what time of night it was. Xun Yu rolled over from the bed and touched his somewhat swollen and painful forehead.
Although it is said that Lao Cao controlled the information, some information was concealed from the subordinates and made transparent to the superiors.
Guo Jia is dead.
Xun Yu felt as if a piece of space suddenly fell out of his heart.
He stood in front of the window, confused, and then confirmed again in the night wind that Guo Fengxiao, who loved drinking, had left this world forever.
Normally, when people reach middle age, they have to start to adapt to the separation of life, old age and death. Children are born and elders die. Xun Yu can accept it and is willing to accept it, but Guo Jia is not that old...
Cao Cao was finally dragged into the decisive battle by Fei Qian. Neither the right time, the right place, nor the right people had an advantage, but he had to fight. Although a lot of considerations and preparations had been made before the war,
However, when it came to this day, Xun Yu still had no bottom.
Now, coupled with Guo Jia's death, it simply made Xun Yu feel like he was walking in thick fog, with a cliff at his feet and could fall into the abyss at any time.
Under such a situation, in the land of Yingchuan in Yuzhou, an action to overthrow Cao actually broke out. It was like a basin of ice water poured on Xun Yu's head. Although these guys were always shouting
For the Han, for the Emperor, and for the people, but in fact Xun Yu knew it, and they themselves also knew that they didn't care about the Han, let alone the Emperor. As for the people, as long as they had food to eat, the people couldn't make trouble, so more
These guys are still making trouble in these names.
During the reign of Emperor Huan Ling, these people made trouble.
When Dong Zhuo was in power, these people also made trouble.
Now that Cao Cao has welcomed the Emperor, these people are still making trouble...
Cheng Yu came to look for Xun Yu last night, and his attitude was very clear.
kill.
Long before Cao Cao sent troops, he had anticipated changes in the rear. At that time, fellow student Cao Cao said that if someone was disobedient, they should be killed. However, Xun Yu felt that once someone killed someone, it would mean that the situation had completely deteriorated, just like Cao Cao had previously killed people on the border.
Just like killing Kong Rong, the effectiveness cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is also very limited.
Nowadays in Shandong, the propaganda is that Guanzhong is full of green faces and fangs, and they are all arrogant and unreasonable. They do not care about civility and only know how to kill people. The people under the rule of Qiusi are in dire straits and are in turmoil everywhere...
So if Cao Cao kills Shandong with one move and stirs up chaos in Shandong, wouldn't it be like slapping himself in the face? In the future, how can we say that the system here in Shandong is good and the people's lives are stable and superior? How can we say that we are doing it for the big man?
Go to Guanzhong to save people in trouble for the sake of the emperor and the people?
Although the effectiveness of these slogans is indeed waning, it is better than nothing, right?
As Cao Cao's chief steward who stayed in Xu County, Xun Yu naturally knew more details.
He even knew that among the people who stirred up trouble, there were also people from his own family, the Xun family of Yingchuan.
Xun Yu took over as the head of the Xun family, which was Xun Shuang's choice in the turbulent situation of the court. After all, only a smart leader can save more people in the dangerous situation, but within the Xun family
However, some people may not agree with Xun Yu, and they always think that I can have sex with me. Therefore, when Xun Yu suggested going north to avoid disaster, some people in the Xun family were unwilling to leave Yingchuan, and as a result, they were unlucky...
…
Then when Xun Yu left Jizhou again, another group of people from the Xun family asked why they wanted to go back after finally leaving, but they were unwilling, so they split some people. As the saying goes, wealth cannot last more than three generations, that's it. But
All gene chains that can still be seen in future generations, regardless of men or women, are those that were once rich in their ancestors. The real poor will not survive more than three generations before they have no descendants. When a large family prospers and develops, it reaches a certain stage, or in a certain period.
During this period, the peripheral tissues began to collapse, becoming a poor family, then degenerating into a pauper, and then the genetic chain was broken.
Although these collapses and damages within the Xun clan were not what Xun Yu wanted, nor could they be said to be caused by Xun Yu, it is inevitable that some Xun clan members would attribute their hatred to Xun Yu. Originally, Xun Yu
He wanted to save these people as much as possible, but now he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't save them.
The Cao family members are dead, and the Xiahou family members are also dead. Now if these people from Shandong are also implicated and die, once the seeds of hatred between each other are planted, then the slightest gap will sprout, and eventually the clay statue will be completely torn apart.
become fragments.
Big man...
This scattered information is a headache, and the atmosphere in Xu County is even more sad.
Because Cao Cao did not announce his funeral secretly, Guo Jia could only keep it secretly sealed in the coffin, and in such weather...
The first seven days are coming soon, and I don’t know if Fengxiao’s soul will come back to take a look.
Xun Yu raised his head, trying to see some providence from the chaotic night, but unfortunately, he saw the dawn from midnight, and could not see any providence. Instead, he waited for the latest news from the palace.
The informants in the palace revealed that Emperor Liu Xie was not very happy about this incident of "destroying Cao", but looked more "sad", which made Xun Yu feel a little relieved.
After so many years, the emperor has finally grown up.
Whatever.
Xun Yu put down the letter.
The emperor is an evil dragon. If he wants to grow up, he must be watered with flesh and blood.
"Here comes someone!"
Xun Yu greeted.
The figure outside the window moved and fell down in front of the window.
"Go and send a message to Cheng Zhongde, saying... we can take action."
…
…
"Snapped!"
A short arrow accurately penetrated the slender mouth of the bottle.
"Wonderful!"
"Good technique!"
In the elegant room of the restaurant, there was a burst of applause and cheers.
Xun Pi laughed, as if these were trivial matters and not worth mentioning.
"Mr. Xun Lang is so accurate in throwing pots!" Meiji pouted slightly on the side, pretending to be aggrieved and resentful, "If this continues, the slave family will not dare to play with Mr. Xun..."
"Ah haha, Mr. Xun Lang is not only accurate in throwing, but also accurate in shooting...ah ha ha, he is also accurate!" said the funny person on the side.
"Oh, that's disgusting~" Meiji said with just the right amount of coquettishness, and she didn't let the words fall to the ground.
Amidst the laughter and laughter, the smell of corruption spread among the aroma of wine and meat.
The relationship between men and women is actually an instinct for human self-reproduction, but literati like to cover it with various packaging, which naturally makes it elegant. But what is very interesting is that no matter which dynasty or generation, there are always
Some literati are keen on sending good sons into the sea, but they also like to persuade prostitutes to be good. This may be the source of the endless popularity of keyboard warriors.
Holding Meiji in his arms, drinking wine, in the midst of the bustle, a voice broke in somewhat harshly, solidifying the originally rotten atmosphere.
"Kill! The inexhaustible Han thieves! Guanzhong! Hedong! Jiangdong! They are all traitors, traitors!"
Then there were also some people echoing, shouting and drinking, which immediately dropped the temperature in the small private room. It was like suddenly realizing that they were not sitting in a small private room in a restaurant, but naked.
stay in the wild.
Or maybe this place with carved beams and painted buildings, a feast for the eyes and a feast for the eyes, is actually a fake made of paper, wood or clay.
Xun Pi picked up the wine jue, his expression gradually faded, and finally he sighed.
Jie Yuhua on the side quickly prepared food for Xun Pei, "Is Xun Langjun also worried about the war in the world?"
"Alas... natural and man-made disasters, how could the people deserve it!" Xun Pei drank all the wine in the wine cup, shook his head, and looked pitiful.
It would be better if Xun Pei's claws could be pulled out of Mei Ji's arms. But there are no outsiders in the private room, so there is no need to pretend too much.
"The slave family has also heard something!" Meiji has to fulfill her duty as a flatterer anyway, so she can't leave the guests without a place to answer their questions. "I heard that people have come to the bus in the past few days to impeach Prime Minister Cao!"
"Really?" The impeachment of the current prime minister was naturally a big deal, but for Xun Pei, it was nothing new, so he just smiled and responded casually, not saying anything about it.
The topic expands.
Moreover, Xun Pei also heard that some more terrifying things happened in Jizhou...
The impeachment of Prime Minister Cao is naturally very exciting in the eyes of these ordinary people, but in the end it is just a verbal impeachment, and the real problems in Shandong are far more serious than the tip of the iceberg shown.
Xun Pi has been thinking about these things for several days.
On the surface, the impeachment charges against Cao Cao for being domineering, monopolizing power, nepotism, corruption and perverting the law are actually not the most important...
The important thing is that Cao Cao lost!
If Cao Cao wins continuously, then there will be no nonsense, and no one will jump out to impeach him!
The Zhang family scholar who thought he represented public opinion and spoke for the people was just a poor guy who counted money for others after being sold. He had blood but no brains, so he became a target for others to take advantage of and acted as a scapegoat.
The charging pawn will not be remembered by anyone even if he dies.
The reason why I put the pawn up first is because...
Xun Pi received the news that there was great chaos in Yecheng, Jizhou, and Cao Pi almost died in the chaos!
If he receives the message, others will also receive the message!
"What a pity..." Thinking of this, Xun Pi couldn't help but murmured.
If Cao Pi is really dead, it is because the thunder from the sky caused the fire on the earth!
Now the heat is somewhat off.
However, it's still okay.
Yecheng is located in the hinterland of Jizhou, but the Qiao cavalrymen and horses killed them in!
When the news came, Xun Pi confirmed it repeatedly. After it was confirmed, he still couldn't believe it for a long time.
Mei Ji turned around and said, "Why did Xun Langjun say it was a pity?"
Xun Pi was stunned for a moment and then said: "It's a pity that there are so few loyal ministers and good generals in this world..."
The "loyal ministers and good generals" of Jizhou worked together to trick Cao Pi, and then fished Cao Pi out of the mud pit again. This method was simply wonderful.
"That's true..." Mei Ji did not doubt that he was there, so she added wine to Xun Pei's empty wine cup, "If there were more people with lofty ideals like Mr. Xun Lang, the world would be at peace long ago..."
This attracted a group of people to praise Xun Pei.
The one who comes here to spend money is naturally the uncle.
Xun Pei laughed, but the annoyance in his heart did not diminish at all. The Jizhou guy took action, and it seemed that after beating Cao Pi, he would definitely let Cao Pi calm down for a while, and he would definitely get more benefits. Jizhou
That’s great, now what about Yingchuan, Yuzhou?
Impeaching Cao Cao is just the first step, what will these guys do next?
How can I benefit from this matter?
How can we fight against Xun Yu?
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard some chaotic noises coming from the street, and someone screamed at the door of the restaurant.
Xun Pi was startled, and then heard the cold sound of soldiers clashing. He immediately trembled, stood up, pushed open the window, and looked down.
He was drinking and having fun in a restaurant, unaware of the sun and the moon. Now the red sun had risen, illuminating the whole street and shining on the armor and blades of the soldiers, making Xun Pei tremble.
Cheng Yu, who was on the street, seemed to feel Xun Pei's gaze, so he looked up and met Xun Pei's eyes.
Cheng Yu was tall and long-legged. Sitting on the horseback, he looked even more extraordinary. When he saw Xun Pei, he did not show any contempt for Xun Pei's disheveled clothes. He just raised his hand slightly and pointed.
Cao Jun's soldiers also looked in the direction pointed by Cheng Yu, and immediately shouted a few times, and rushed into the restaurant with a few soldiers!
Xun Pei swallowed his saliva, his face turned pale, and he stumbled and pushed Mei Ji away. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He opened the door and fled towards the back of the restaurant!
Of course, Xun Pei can also bet that Cheng Yu came to him to drink and visit prostitutes...
But this possibility is so low that even if the sun rises from the west, the probability is higher than if Cheng Yu invites him to drink!
Of course Xun Pi knew what Cheng Yu was doing under Cao Cao.
Xun Pi would rather meet Man Chong than fall into Cheng Yu's hands!
If it falls into Cheng Yu's hands, there's no telling when it will become military rations!
Most restaurants are built in the shape of a zigzag, with a stage in the middle and corridors and private rooms all around, so there is more than one passage up and down.
The soldiers of Cao's army rushed into the restaurant with a bang, startling many hungover people, and then they staggered like gourds on the ground, shouting and screaming.
Relying on his familiarity with the terrain of the restaurant, Xun Pei climbed up from the window of a corner room to the roof of the restaurant next door. Xun Pei walked as lightly as possible to prevent himself from stepping on the tiles and making a sound.
Come on, it's a pity that he forgot one thing.
It's not dark night now.
If it's at night and the vision is unclear, it's really possible for him to sneak away...
But now the sun has risen, shining brightly everywhere. As he walked towards the roof ridge next to the restaurant, he was immediately seen by the soldiers of Cao's army.
While the soldiers of Cao's army were shouting, several arrows flew towards Xun Pei's thigh!
