From the perspective of the imperial court, these aristocratic families colluded with Yuan Shao and appointed Liu Xie as the new king, which can definitely be regarded as treason, even if they confiscate their families and exterminate them, it is not an exaggeration.
Xun Yu was a humble gentleman, and he came from a noble family. He felt sorry for Chu Yi when he killed dozens of children from aristocratic families. Of course, if Xun Yu really blamed Chu Yi for this, then he was not praised as
Xun Wenruo, who was so talented as Wang Zuo, is gone.
Xun Yu shook his head and smiled and said: "The prince is just joking. What those people did is extremely treacherous. Even if they confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans, it will be difficult to atone for their sins."
Smiling slightly, Chu Yi put down the chess piece in his hand, nodded slowly and said: "If Chu's prediction is correct, Wen Ruo should be worried about Han Wen Yue, who is known as the Nine-winded Intestine."
Xun Yu nodded and said: "Of course this subordinate's thoughts cannot be hidden from the prince."
Xun Yu said with a serious look on his face: "Han Wen Yue must not be underestimated. At that time, Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and other famous generals in the imperial court were unable to do anything about him, and even let him get bigger little by little. It can be said that Han Wen Yue is this person.
No matter in terms of ability or means, he is absolutely top-notch in the world."
Chu Yi was not surprised that Xun Yu valued Han Sui so much, because Chu Yi also knew that Han Sui should never be underestimated.
Han Sui was able to rise up in the chaotic and bitter land of Xiliang, as Xun Yu said, and he was vigorously and vigorously suppressed by Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and others, and even once grew stronger and threatened the safety of Chang'an City.
, no matter how high you think of Han Sui, he will not serve the country.
Chu Yi smiled and said: "Oh, in Wen Ruo's opinion, how should I respond this time?"
Stroking his beard, Xun Yu said with a sparkle in his eyes: "If someone's prediction is correct, with Han Wenyue's twists and turns of mind, and his flexible and flexible character, this time the prince will go to Xiliang with the momentum of victory, then Han Wenyue will go to Xiliang."
So unless his head is broken, he will definitely surrender and beg the prince to allow him to surrender."
Naturally, Chu Yi strongly agreed with Xun Yu's judgment, because this was exactly Han Sui's character. It would be strange if Han Sui really did not surrender, but resisted forcefully.
Xun Yu said with a gloomy face: "This is what I am worried about. Once Han Sui chooses to surrender, as a court, we will have to think carefully about whether to accept Han Sui's surrender."
Xun Yu, who looked at Chu Yi, said with a sparkle in his eyes: "I hope that the prince can refuse Han Sui's surrender, take the opportunity to pull out the cancer of Han Sui, and bring the land of Xiliang under the control of the imperial court.
"
The chess piece in Chu Yi's hand slowly fell down and he said with a smile: "Oh, does it mean that Wen Ruo has no confidence in me?"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that Wen Ruo has no confidence in the prince, but his subordinates also know that Han Sui has requested to surrender. If the court refuses, it will definitely affect many of the prince's arrangements in the future."
Han Sui is not the only force in the world. Apart from Han Sui, there are not too many rebel forces, large and small, entrenched in various parts of the world, especially Liu Yan who is entrenched in Yizhou.
Although Liu Biao, who occupied the land of Jingxiang, did not claim to be king and dominate like Liu Yan, his actions in the land of Jingxiang were actually no different from Liu Yan.
If Han Sui surrenders and the court agrees, then it will be much easier for Chu Yi to quell the local rebel forces. After all, the court can even accept people like Han Sui, so it will naturally be able to accept them as well.
This was exactly what Xun Yu was worried about. After all, this had already affected the smoothness of Chu Yi's efforts to pacify the place. He could have continued to crush him in the name of justice, but once Han Sui's request for surrender was rejected, some people would inevitably be defeated.
The local forces were determined to confront the imperial court.
Chu Yi waved his hand and said with a chill in his eyes: "Chu understands what Wen Ruo means. If the world wants to return to peace, it will not be possible to rely solely on righteousness and fame. In order to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court allowed local recruitment.
The power of soldiers and horses has laid deep hidden dangers, and it is obviously unrealistic to try to erase this influence with just a will."
Chu Yi said with a sneer: "If you want to restore the world, you can only kill and bleed. Otherwise, even if Chu can suppress these forces for decades or even hundreds of years, one day Chu will be gone, and these forces will be temporarily destroyed."
Once the suppressed hidden danger breaks out, the big man will inevitably collapse."
Xun Yu's eyes shone brightly and he looked at Chu Yi with admiration. He took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Chu Yi: "It is really a blessing for me, the great man, that the prince has such foresight!"
Chu Yi waved his hand, pointed at the chessboard in front of him and said with a smile: "No matter how much Wen Ruo compliments me, Chu will not be merciful in this game."
Xun Yu looked at the chessboard in front of him and couldn't help but smile.
While he was talking, he saw a figure opening the curtain of the huge carriage and walking up. Who was it but Lu Su with an honest look on his face?
Seeing Lu Su holding a letter in his hand, he got on the carriage and saluted Chu Yi: "Your Majesty, Han Wen asked the messenger to see you."
Chu Yi stretched out his hand and the letter fell into Chu Yi's hands. He unfolded the letter and took a look. After just a glance, Chu Yi handed the letter to Xun Yu and said, "It's just as you expected, Wen Ruo."
Xun Yu finally looked at it like Chu Yi and said with a smile: "As expected of Jiuqu Ilehang Han Wenyue, few people can match this ability of bending and stretching."
Xun Yu said with a solemn expression: "Moreover, Han Sui is really able to assess the situation and even offered to withdraw from Xiliang territory. It can be said that he is full of sincerity. If the prince does not even allow this, once word spreads, I don't know how many people will be affected."
People think the prince is too mean."
Although Lu Su said that he had not read the contents of the letter, he could guess the contents of the letter just by listening to a few words from Chu Yi and Xun Yu and considering the current situation.
Chu Yi asked Lu Su to sit down and said, "Zijing, tell me, how should I deal with this Korean appointment?"
Lu Su looked at Xun Yu, with a slight smile on his lips and said: "If it is according to the opinions of my subordinates, Han Wen Yue must not be kept. We should take this opportunity to put an end to all the chaos in Xiliang in one fell swoop. If Han Wen Yue is not destroyed, we will never give up."
.”
If we hadn't known that Lu Su had no grudge against Han Sui, people would have thought that Lu Su and Han Sui had some inexplicable grudge when they suddenly heard Lu Su's words.
Hearing this, Chu Yi laughed loudly and said, "If Han Wen makes an appointment here, I'm afraid I'll have to fight to find my son."
Lu Su said seriously: "Han Sui is a capricious person. If we really keep this person in the land of Xiliang, I am afraid that the land of Xiliang will never have peace, so this person must not be left here."
Chu Yi placed the letter on the chessboard, pondered for a moment and then said to Lu Su: "In this case, Zijing drafted a reply letter to Han Sui on my behalf, expressing his intention to surrender.
The king agreed and asked him to lead his troops and surrender outside the Golden City."
Chu Yi looked at Lu Su and said, "It must be noted that Han Sui and his eight generals must be tied up in front of the army to plead guilty."
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Xun Yu, who was stroking his beard at the side, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. Needless to say, Chu Yi must have deliberately provoked Han Sui. It would be strange if Han Sui agreed.
You must know that Han Sui asked the court to surrender many times in the past, but he never really surrendered, and even his troops did not change.
Now Chu Yi actually wants him and eight of his subordinates to tie themselves in front of the army, which means that Han Sui's life and death is really in Chu Yi's hands. Once Chu Yi wants to attack him, then he will really
There is only one way to die.
It would be strange if Han Sui agreed.
Lu Su paused slightly and said: "Your Majesty, what if Han Wen accepts the appointment?"
Chu Yi chuckled and said: "If Han Sui really understands current affairs like this, then I am not a murderer. It is not impossible to allow him to enter the capital and enjoy wealth."
After hearing what Chu Yi said, Lu Su nodded. In front of Chu Yi and Xun Yu, Lu Su quickly drafted a reply in Chu Yi's tone, and then gave it to Chu Yi to browse.
Chu Yi nodded with satisfaction, used the seal, waved his hand and said: "Send someone to deliver this letter to Han Sui's messenger."
As soon as the news of the breach of Hangu Pass reached Han Sui, Han Sui immediately led his troops and horses to retreat to the land of Jincheng.
The land of Jincheng was managed by Han Sui as if it were impregnable. It could be said that it was his territory. On his own territory, Han Sui felt a little more at ease.
In the mansion, Han Sui's face did not look relaxed. According to his estimation, if the messenger he sent went smoothly, he should bring back Chu Yi's reply by now.
Just when Han Sui was talking about the messenger he sent, he saw a figure coming in the dust. Han Sui couldn't help but stood up suddenly when he saw it, walked forward quickly and looked at the person and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Ziyin. It's been a long journey. It's very special."
Ziyin goes, otherwise Han will feel uneasy."
The person Han Sui valued so highly was not any of his eight generals, nor was he a well-known counselor in Xiliang. He seemed to be just an ordinary scribe.
However, this person had won the trust of Han Sui and entrusted him with the important task of surrendering.
Lu Ming took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Han Sui solemnly: "Ming Gong, here is the letter from the King of Chu."
Han Sui took the letter and opened it and said, "Has Ziyin ever met the King of Chu during this trip? What do you think of this King of Chu?"
In Han Sui's view, Lu Ming went to see Chu Yi as his envoy, so Chu Yi should at least receive Lu Ming, so he wanted to hear Lu Ming's views on Chu Yi.
But when Han Sui lowered his head to read Chu Yi's reply, he didn't notice that Lu Ming's face was rather ugly. However, Han Sui's face soon turned gloomy, and he listened before Lu Ming spoke.
Han Sui shouted angrily: "You eunuch, you have gone too far!"
Obviously Han Sui had seen the content of Chu Yi's reply, and he was about to be furious.
Chu Yi's letter asked him to surrender in front of the army. How could Han Sui endure it? As the overlord of one side, he was willing to give Chu Yi a face and a step up so that both sides could have face. But Chu Yi
To actually ask him to surrender and restrain himself is not to save him any face at all.
Lu Ming was startled by Han Sui's angry shout and said: "Ming Gong, why is this happening?"
Han Sui threw the letter to Lu Ming and said, "Take a look and see if this person has said anything? The Chu thieves are bullying me too much!"
Lu Ming carefully read the content of the letter, his face also became extremely gloomy and he gritted his teeth and said: "Ming Gong, the Chu thief is not willing to give Ming Gong any leeway. He not only wants to humiliate Ming Gong, but also wants to completely I have taken away Ming Gong’s power. If Ming Gong does what the Chu thieves ask, I’m afraid he will die without a burial place.”
In Lu Ming's view, if Han Sui really surrendered as Chu Yi requested, he would definitely be killed by Chu Yi to avoid future troubles.
Anyway, Lu Ming asked himself that if he were in Chu Yi's position, facing the surrender of Han Sui, he would definitely kill him to avoid future troubles.
It was only natural for Lu Ming to think so, and Han Sui happened to think so too. Otherwise, why would Han Sui have reacted so radically?
From Han Sui's point of view, Chu Yi had made it clear that he wanted to take his life, so no matter how extreme his reaction was, it would not be too much.
"Ming Gong, since the Chu thief refuses to give us a way to survive, then we should fight our way out on our own and let Chu Yi know that we are waiting for him."
Han Sui laughed loudly when he heard this, reached out and patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and said: "What Ziyin said is true. Han has fought against Huangfu Song in his life, defeated Dong Zhuo, defeated Sun Jian, and he is not inferior to Chu Yi. He really deserves to be my Han Wenyu." It’s not made of clay!”
As he spoke, Han Sui looked serious and said: "Send my order and order the eight generals to come to see me."
Soon Cheng Yin, Ma Wan, Cheng Yi and other eight generals rushed to Han Sui's mansion one by one.
Walking into the hall, Liang Xing immediately smiled at Han Sui and said, "Master Marquis called us here. Is it possible that there is a decree from the imperial court?"
In the eyes of the eight generals, it was time for the imperial court to appease them. After all, according to custom, the imperial court should reward them. Therefore, their faces had a look of relief and expectation.
Han Sui was sitting there with a gloomy face. Cheng Yi, Ma Wan and the others were chatting and laughing all the way. However, when they walked into the hall, they noticed that something was wrong with Han Sui's expression. At this moment, it was Liang Xing. His voice also dropped.
Han Sui waved his hand and said, "Ziyin, please show them Chu Yi's reply."
