Although the control of speech in the Eastern Han Dynasty was extremely loose, thanks to the contention of a hundred schools of thought hundreds of years ago, scholars could scold the emperor once or twice, as long as it was reasonable, and no one would care, but it also depends on the occasion, and as Liu Bei is currently doing
To be blatant is a bit too much.
"What's wrong with me scolding him?" Liu Bei said indiscriminately. He was obviously angry. However, he reacted when Chen Xi reminded him. However, he let go of the words. It was not good to swallow them back. He added another sentence, "Look back."
I will take Mr. Bo'an with me, not only will I scold him, but I will also beat him!"
"Ahem, cough, cough." Chen Xi coughed repeatedly. He had no respect for the emperor, but after all, Liu Yu was Zongzheng, and if he offended Zhan Dayi and his status as the emperor's uncle, it was actually nothing to beat the emperor. Just understand.
While Chen Xi was talking, the generals who were squatting together for dinner were already in trouble. As for the generals who had killed almost all the Hu people in the north half a month ago, it was a good thing that they did not go to the southern Xiongnu to cause trouble.
The Southern Huns actually dared to plunder.
Immediately, a group of people cheered and went to kill the Southern Huns. There were so many of them now that they could easily form a team and beat the Southern Huns to death.
But having said that, it was because of a group fight that all the generals felt the charm of group fights. In the past, generals with internal energy and legion talents seldom acted together. On the one hand, relatively speaking, they were enough to deal with most of them individually.
On the other hand, ordinary people are really not qualified to walk with such a strong man who has almost reached the top.
Therefore, this group of people have basically never experienced the pleasure of gathering a group of guys of the same level to fight in a group. The only few times they were beaten by Lu Bu, and then a group of people fought against Lu Bu, as for the pleasure, it was really not that exciting.
This time they finally felt the pleasure of a group of people killing people together. Although snatching heads is very bad, a group of people fight together and everyone takes care of each other. To be honest, Lu Bu and the others are not afraid.
Thinking back to the battle for Lu Bu's ascension, if there was this lineup, it would be impossible for Lu Bu to ascend even if he wanted to.
Just when a group of generals asked for a fight, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were carried over one by one by Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan.
The two of them knew what had happened as soon as they came over. Hua Tuo immediately felt Xun Yu's pulse and said, "The anger attacks my heart and hurts my vitality. It also loses part of my life span, but it's not serious. Think of something happy and take supplements."
If you don’t need to take any medicine for a few days, your health will be fine.”
"Did you suffer some kind of shock? The crux is not physical, but psychological." Zhang Zhongjing looked Xun Yu up and down and said, "The disease itself is not a big problem, but if you can't untie the heart knot, you will lose weight day by day.
.”
Both of them are the top miraculous doctors of this era, so they can see Xun Yu's problem at a glance. At this time, Xun Yu was in his prime and in good health. Now it's a joke to say that his vitality was severely damaged after a mouthful of blood. It's just a joke.
It's the collapse of faith.
Just like Li Ru back then, he didn't know anything in Chang'an? But he just watched with cold eyes, silently waiting for the ax to come.
Now Xun Yu's faith has collapsed just like Li Ru did at the time, and this kind of thing is no longer within the scope of ordinary medical skills. If Ji Xiang was still alive, he might still be able to use some psychological therapy, although there is little hope for a person with a firm mind like Xun Yu
The effect is not certain, but it is better than having nowhere to start now.
When Cao Cao heard the medical certificates from Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, he was already confused. Not long ago, he had a real heart-to-heart relationship with Xun Yu, but now they told him that Xun Yu would die if he couldn't pass this hurdle. Cao Cao really wanted to kill him now.
Damn Liu Xie.
"Wen Ruo, don't worry about it, don't worry about it. Wasn't it even worse when Wang Situ was in power? I sacrificed my life to assassinate Dong, but in the end I was so beaten, why didn't I come over?" Cao Cao supported Xun Yu with both hands, feeling a little paralyzed.
He said to Xun Yu.
Cao Cao pressed Xun Yu's shoulders and shook them vigorously. It was obvious that the calm and calm demeanor of a wise man in Xun Yu was constantly declining. His eyes gradually became dull from the calm water before, and his heart was dying.
Cao Cao was already a little anxious and crazy, and said incoherently, "There is no obstacle in life that cannot be overcome. Who doesn't meet a few scum in his life? How can a person be defeated by scum? Without Liu Xie, that scum, you still have me."
When Chen Xi heard Cao Cao's words, he knew that Cao Cao was in a hurry and was talking incoherently. He quickly expelled all the generals and most of the civil servants. It would be bad for others to hear these words.
Chen Xi took a peek at Liu Bei's expression and found that Liu Bei was nodding his head as he listened to Cao Cao's words. He couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. It seemed that Liu Bei was very angry this time.
[This time it seems that Xuande Gong and Cao Si are really angry. To be honest, it won't be like this.] Chen Xi thought silently.
In fact, Chen Xi ignored one of the biggest problems. Let's not talk about Liu Bei. Cao Cao and Xun Yu spent a lot of money this time, and ended up with such a result.
, it is estimated that even if the result is better than Xun Yu, it will not be much better.
However, Xun Yu spurted out blood and Cao Cao was stunned. Xun Yu's influence on Cao Cao made Cao Cao jump over this pit first.
As for Liu Bei, he has been talking to Cao Cao for a while, and has almost set up Cao Cao's trap. He also knows Cao Cao's thoughts, and is even tempted by Cao Cao's proposal. They have seen the combined fighting power of the three families, and it is really strong.
And none of the three of them were convinced by the other. Although Liu Bei was stronger, fighting in a battle to unify the Central Plains would inevitably damage some of the essence of the Central Plains. But now the emperor actually showed the magnanimity that an emperor should have. Liu Bei combined the three families.
Merged under the name of the Emperor.
In this way, Liu Bei's oath was fulfilled and the Han Dynasty was revitalized without coveting the throne. More importantly, the vitality of the Han Dynasty was preserved. As for the military and political issues after the merger of the three families, in Liu Bei's view, this was not a problem at all.
The three families have already cooperated in external operations once, and they can continue to follow this example for external operations in the future. As for internal affairs, factions, economy, enriching the country and strengthening the people, Liu Bei does not think it is a problem at all. Anyway, he has never seen Chen Xi and can't handle the internal affairs.
In this way, if the military can unify the external world, and Chen Xi can stabilize the domestic economic and political situation, then doesn't it mean that it is actually completely unified? As for the issue of factions within the army, is this a problem?
After Liu Bei's not too bright brain put it all together, he suddenly realized that as long as the emperor worked hard, they would be able to unify after returning to the Ancestral Temple to worship their ancestors this year.
As for Sun Ce, Liu Bei finally saw that that guy's way of thinking is actually very simple, and his mind is full of war. Maybe he will tell the other party that he wants to go out to fight a more powerful country. Zhou Yu may not agree yet, Sun Ce
It passed.
Of course, it's not a big deal if Sun Ce doesn't agree. Zhou Yu is not an idiot. Liu Bei and Cao Cao are united around the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. If he doesn't bow his head, he will really be a rebel.
After the merger of these three companies, it would be strange if Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, and Shi Xie were left to come and hug each other.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei suddenly felt enlightened. This was the highest state. He didn't need to take action at all. All his ideals were realized and the Han Dynasty was revived. So Liu Bei started to work on related matters excitedly.
However, before Liu Bei could go to Chen Xi for help, such a blow came. At that moment, Liu Bei really had the idea of slapping Liu Xie to death and then taking over to revitalize the Han Dynasty. He was so angry that he was about to explode.
Liu Xie is really disappointing.
It can even be said that it is nothing to live up to expectations. As long as Liu Xie does not commit suicide, Liu Bei is now absolutely sure that he will secure the throne. However, God does not fulfill his wish!
Liu Bei, who was furious, and Cao Cao, who was still angry and wanted to appease Xun Yu, were basically brothers in love, so they had the same mood.
"It's okay, my lord." Xun Yu, whose mouth was bleeding after being shaken by Cao Cao, raised his right hand and said with difficulty making a smile.
"You don't look like you're okay." Cao Cao said in a panic, "I won't turn around and you will commit suicide."
For the current Cao Cao, Xun Yu is not only the civil servant he relies on most, but also his right-hand man. He is also the only confidant under his command who understands his complicated psychology. The two are both monarchs and ministers and friends, and the current Xun Yu can be said to be
He is Cao Cao's only friend.
At the level of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, it is already very difficult to have a friend, so for Cao Cao, Xun Yu is very, very important.
"If you don't let go, you will shake me to death before I can commit suicide." Xun Yu said with blood on his lips. Cao Cao was startled when he heard this and quickly let go.
The moment Cao Cao let go, Xun Yu fell backwards. Fortunately, Xun Yu had returned to his normal state and supported himself with his hands. Then he slowly took out a silk cloth from his sleeve pocket and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
His face was pale, as if nothing happened.
However, Cao Cao and Chen Xi clearly discovered the difference between Xun Yu. If a gentleman is like jade to describe Xun Yu, then the former Xun Yu was a piece of warm jade, but the current Xun Yu is like a piece of biting cold jade.
"Wen Ruo, are you okay?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and asked. Although it seemed that Xun Yu was okay now, Cao Cao clearly felt the difference.
"It's okay. How can a person live his whole life without making a mistake? Lord, just don't let me make a mistake a second time." Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao and said very solemnly.
"..." Cao Cao couldn't help but feel the pressure on his shoulders getting heavier after hearing this, but looking at Xun Yu's extremely sincere but extremely empty eyes, he knew everything in an instant, "I will live up to Wen Ruo!"
Xun Yu smiled sadly and said nothing, but turned to look at Chen Xi.
"Are the Southern Huns a problem?" Chen Xi curled his lips and said. Just sending ten generals and three or five counselors here with their respective legions would be enough to destroy them several times.
"What I want to ask is, was it you who moved your hands or feet?" There was a bitterness and weakness in Xun Yu's voice. It was obvious that some things were not as simple as Xun Yu said.
"No." Chen Xi said calmly, "Although he guessed these things from the secret letter given by Li You, it really has nothing to do with him. At best, it can be regarded as inaction."
Xun Yu looked at Chen Xi for a moment and confirmed that Chen Xi was indeed not lying. Then he turned to Liu Bei and said, "Please order General Zhao to go to Bingzhou for rescue first."
"Okay!" Liu Bei nodded, and then greeted Zhao Yun in the distance. Zhao Yun clasped his fists in salute and whistled. After the jade lion flew in at night, Zhao Yun mounted his horse and flew from the outside to his camp, while ordering his people to prepare.
Dry food, while preparing the army.
"Let General Xiahou rush to the border of Bingzhou and Youzhou first, and bring out whatever trump cards Mr. Cao has. I don't believe you have done such a big thing and you didn't leave any backup." Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao and said.
"The trump card we left behind can stabilize Yongzhou, but it is beyond our reach to deal with Bingzhou." Xun Yu said with a weak voice.
"If Yongzhou is fine, let me think about it. Which of you didn't come, Zhong Yuanchang, Mao Xiaoxian, Yang Dezu, and Sima Zhongda. If you say so, it should be Mao Xiaoxian?" Chen Xi frowned and said, the other three Sima Yi will be able to do it in the future.
Fighting, there is still no way to convince the public, only Mao Jie is truly both civil and military.
As a figure in the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Cao set the strategy of "serving the emperor's orders but not ministers, cultivating crops, and raising military resources". His overall view and military command were actually very powerful.
At the same time, Ju Shou also proposed an almost identical strategy to Yuan Shao, "holding the emperor's power to order the princes, and the beastmen to fight against justice." Both of them had a good outlook on the overall situation and were strong in practice, but had a stubborn temper and liked to support others. The cause of death
Half of them are stubborn.
Under the current circumstances, Chen Xi could almost guess who Chang'an's killer move was by looking at the people who came to the north under Cao Cao's command.
There are only four people left who have not come with Cao Cao. Zhong Yao is very capable, but this guy is absent-minded a lot. It is not uncommon for him to skip work and run away while working. To protect the capital.
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be left to the other party.
Yang Xiu has good abilities, especially in government affairs, but his military skills are mediocre. He is at best a pure counselor and is not good at commanding troops. More importantly, Chen Xi does not believe that Cao Cao can treat the next generation head of the Yang family as his own.
Just look at Liu Ye who has endured a lifetime.
Sima Yi is even more powerful. He is very good in politics and military affairs. The problem is that this guy is only 18 years old. Even if he is very capable, whether he can secure his position is still a problem.
Finally, after thinking about it, there is only one Mao Jie left. Although Chen Xi still doesn't know what Mao Jie's spiritual talent is, the water for Cao Cao's civil servants is very deep. If you throw Guo Jia in, you may not be able to figure out the depth of the water.
Chen Xi was the first to not believe Mao Jie.
"Well, it is indeed Xiaoxian." Xun Yu was slightly surprised, but he didn't think there was any problem.
"Then it's nothing. Cao Zixiu must be leading Sima Zhongda. Although that guy has a somewhat gloomy personality, his ability is still very powerful." Chen Xi curled his lips and said. Cao Cao's men and horses were all treasures, and Cao Cao's eyes widened.
