Yuan Shu looked at Xun Yu below, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Guan Hou, to be honest, I am a little surprised that you came to my humble abode. As for your purpose of coming, I also understand, but there are some things I still want to think about. Please don't force me."
Yuan Shu got to the point right away. Xun Yu was still a little surprised. He originally thought Yuan Shu would express it tactfully. Besides, he was still worried and had not made a decision.
Xun You and Xun Chen talked a lot, and he could understand that it would be fine if he was a mediocre person, but he knew that Yuan Shu knew that he was a talented person, not a bad cabbage. If he really had the chance, he would definitely soar into the sky.
,
He was afraid, really afraid, because he was afraid that he would bring the entire Xun family to a desperate situation.
"You people with high IQs are like ink. You always look forward and backward in everything you do. If I don't force you sometimes and expect you to go around these twists and turns on your own, it will probably be difficult for you to die."
After looking at Xun Yu, Yuan Shu stood up immediately. He felt that he needed to give Xun Yu a good beating and use his ability to deceive, otherwise this Wang Zuozhi's talent would really be buried.
"Xun Yu, you have studied hard for so many years. In terms of strategy, wisdom, and everything else, you are no worse than Gongda and Youruo.
Why can they forge ahead for me, for the great man, and for the people of the world without any scruples? Why can't you?
scruples?
You have to worry about things that I don’t even care about?
I know that if you really come out, you will at least be a state shepherd.
A Sanzhou animal husbandry is probably much better than our Yuan family before.
So you are afraid, afraid that a big tree will attract the wind, afraid that a great power will shake the Lord, and you are afraid that after I take the final step, I will persecute the Xun family, right?"
"Sir, now that you have said it, I have nothing to hide. I am really afraid, afraid that the Xun family will be too powerful, afraid of being too powerful to shock the master, and afraid of everything you said. This is why I hesitate.
, the reason why I am afraid and dare not surrender to you."
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Xun Yu had nothing to say. After all, what he said was right. He was indeed afraid, so there was no shame in it.
"Xun Yu, don't take yourself too seriously. As I said, you are not inferior to others in terms of strategy, intelligence or anything else, but don't forget that this is just not inferior.
There are many people like you in the Han Dynasty, including Chen Gong, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Jia Xu in Yizhou. None of these people are worse than you.
If you feel that the three of you joining forces will become a disaster for the big man, then there is no need to do so.
As long as I, Yuan Shu, am here for a day, you will never have a chance.
After all, I, Yuan Shu, am a man who can suppress the entire Han Dynasty, and you are not enough to compare with me."
At this time, Yuan Shu was so domineering. In his opinion, Xun Yu just took himself too seriously. It was just one more Xun Yu. It really didn't mean anything. A grown man working here was really annoying to him.
Feeling depressed.
"Sir, I know that as long as you are here, no one can change the world, but have you ever thought that you are just a prince now?
What will it be like when you really get to that point?
By then, for the sake of the new dynasty, we, the feudal officials, will become a disaster. Not only our Xun family, but also those ministers you mentioned.
It’s not like this has never happened since the Han Dynasty was established. The situation during the Emperor Gaozu’s time is still vivid in our minds, so what will happen then?”
Xun Yu is indeed a talented person who can see the leopard from the inside. He not only sees the present, but also sees the future.
"Xun Yu, people have to live in the present. I can only say that as long as you don't leave me, I will never give up.
The reason why there are so many turmoils in the Han Dynasty is due to problems with the system. After the world is settled, I will also make corresponding reforms to the system.
Believe me, I can do it if I want to,
Also, I am not here for Yuan Shu personally, but for tens of millions of people. As long as you can serve the people wholeheartedly, you have nothing to fear."
Yuan Shu glanced at Xun Yu and said harsh words directly. Sometimes the Qingjiang method is not as good as the aggressive general method, and these highly intelligent businessmen fall into this trap.
"Sir, please give me some time to think about it."
To be honest, Xun Yu is actually a little moved now, but he still can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
"Now that I have said that, there is no point in staying here. I know that you, Xun Yu, are talented as a king, but real gold needs fire to refine it. It remains to be seen how much of your ability you have.
Three days, I only give you three days. Within three days, I will give you the position of shepherd of a state or the position of three ministers and nine ministers, so that you can fully display your talents. After three days, I will let you have great talents. Yuan Shu also
If you don’t know how to use it, Dian Wei, go back to the Prefectural Mufu.”
Seeing that Xun Yu was still writing, still looking forward and backward, as the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine is too little when meeting a close friend, and half a sentence is enough without speculation. Yuan Shu had nothing to say, so he stood up and called Dian Wei to leave.
Seeing Yuan Shu about to leave, everyone was stunned, especially Xun Yu, who was the first to bear the brunt, his eyes were filled with stars. Everyone who was told by Yuan Shu was stunned.
"Wen Ruo, you are a smart person. A smart person should wield his sword of wisdom to cut off troublesome threads. If you keep cutting off, you will suffer from the chaos."
When Yuan Shu was about to leave, Xun Chen stood up, said something to Xun Yu, and then followed Yuan Shu away.
"Wen Ruo, people have to live for themselves and walk the road by themselves. It doesn't matter what others think. What matters is what you want to do.
Farewell."
Xun You also stood up and clasped his fists at Xun Yu, then left with Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu, Xun You and Xun Chen left Xun's Mansion under the escort of the guards, leaving Xun Yu alone there at a loss.
"Am I really wrong?"
Xun Yu looked at the night sky outside the house, his eyes full of confusion. It had to be said that Yuan Shu's words had a great impact on him. He was really confused now. Could it be that what he did was wrong?
The reason why he parted ways with Xun Chen and went to follow Cao Cao was actually not because he disliked Yuan Shu, but because of the big family's principle of not putting all the eggs in one basket.
Now he doesn't dare to submit to Yuan Shu. This is also the principle of the big family. If a big tree attracts wind, going too far is not enough.
But Yuan Shu's words broke his heart. A grown man should not only do things for himself, but also for his family, and for the people of the world. Could it be that he really should go to Yuan Shu?
"Master, Yuan Zhoumu and the two Masters Xun have already left."
The steward of the Xun Mansion came to Xun Zhong and came to Xun Yu to report Yuan Shu's whereabouts to him.
"Xun Zhong, what do you think of Yuan Zhoumu?
Can you defect?"
Xun Yu glanced at Xun Zhong and directly asked his question.
"I don't know how Yuan Zhoumu is doing, and I don't know if he can defect to him.
I know that my talent should not be buried. I also know that the current Jizhou is the most prosperous and stable place I have ever seen, and the smiles of the people here are also the happiest I have ever seen.
Moreover, there are so many capable people under Yuan Shu’s command, will it really cause problems if there is just one more master?”
When the steward Xun Zhong heard Xun Yu's question, he thought about it for a while and then answered his question directly.
"Really?
Am I really not that important?"
Xun Yu fell into self-questioning again and said that the words of the housekeeper Xun Zhong were indeed a bit hurtful.
Some words have different effects when spoken by different people. Who is Yuan Shu, the overlord of the world? He said that anyone can do it because he has the qualifications, but Xun Zhong, a housekeeper, also said the same thing, which made Xun Yu start to doubt himself.
Already.
"Sir, it was my fault that I acted rashly. I hope you will forgive me."
Seeing Xun Yu like this, Xun Zhong quickly knelt on the ground and begged him for mercy.
"You are right. I originally thought I was a talented person, but now I am just a mediocre person in the eyes of the world."
Xun Yu shook his head slightly and then went directly outside the house.
"Come here, prepare the carriage."
At this moment, he also decided. Since the world thinks that I am just a mediocre disciple, he will prove to everyone whether he is a king or a mediocre person. Besides, Yuan Shu said so. He doesn't appreciate it. Maybe
This life is really over.
"Dian Wei, order the carriage to move slowly."
Yuan Shu asked Dian Wei to slow down in the car.
"Lord, do you think Wen Ruo will come after us?"
Xun You glanced at Yuan Shu and immediately understood what he meant.
"Xun Yu is an extraordinary person. If he can figure it out on his own, he will catch up to him right away. If he can't figure it out, he won't be able to figure it out in three years, let alone three days."
Faced with Xun You's words, Yuan Shu directly gave his answer.
"Well, my lord is right. I know Wenruo very well. He has been smart since he was a child. He has been smart in astronomy and geography, and nothing in the Five Classics and Six Taoist teachings can stump him. However, the smarter a person is, the more difficult it is to correct what he believes, so
There is actually no difference between three days and three quarters."
Xun Chen nodded. What Yuan Shu said made sense. Xun Yu was indeed extremely smart, but it was precisely because of this that this step was difficult to overcome.
"Well, just wait. What is supposed to come will always come. If you can't wait, forget it. One more Xun Yu for a big man is not much, and one less Xun Yu is not much."
Yuan Shu has nothing more to say. Now Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish will take the bait.
The group of people marched slowly towards the Prefecture Mufu, while Xun Yu's carriage behind them was running wildly.
"Lord, a carriage is coming towards us."
Dian Wei saw the racing carriage and immediately reported to Yuan Shu.
"There will be a carriage coming here. It must be Xun Yu. It seems that he has figured it out and stopped to let the car behind him come."
After hearing Dian Wei's words, Yuan Shu also smiled slightly, what was supposed to come has come.
Yuan Shu's army gave an order to halt the carriage, and the guards immediately began to be on guard. However, Xun Yu's carriage came directly behind Yuan Shu's carriage without any obstruction.
"Stop the oncoming car, and the people in the car will get off and register their identities."
Although Yuan Shu guessed that it was Xun Yu, he still stopped the carriage for Yuan Shu's safety.
Hearing Dian Wei's shout, the carriage immediately stopped, the curtains on the carriage were opened, and Xun Yu jumped out of the carriage.
"I'm Xun Yu, come to see Mr. Zhou Mu."
Xun Yu glanced at Dian Wei and directly cupped his fist at him.
"Dian Wei, let Wen Ruo come over."
Yuan Shu also got out of the car, looked at Xun Yu who was stopped by Dian Wei, and asked him to come over directly.
"Xun Yu pays homage to Mr. Zhou Mu."
When Xun Yu saw Yuan Shu get out of the car, he directly cupped his fists and saluted him.
"Wen Ruo, since you are here, you must have made a decision. Now that you have made a decision, don't hide it. The reason why the Lord slowed down the carriage is to wait for you."
Seeing that Xun Yu was still reserved, Xun Chen directly spoke out his thoughts.
"Youruo, everything has to have a process. In fact, I'm very happy that Wenruo can come now. Don't make it difficult for him."
Hearing Xun Chen's words, Yuan Shu smiled slightly. What should come will always come. It's really not good for you to tease others like this.
"Xun Yu pays homage to my lord and is willing to serve him as a dog and horse. I hope my lord can accept it."
