Han Dao world

Regarding Yang Feng's cowardice for a while, he did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and missed the opportunity of the battle, they tacitly kept silent.

They talked a lot about Yang Feng and Guo Wu attacking and beheading Li Wei in front of the battle, and intentionally or unintentionally blurred the person who killed Li Wei, so that people would think it was Yang Feng who accidentally killed Li Wei.

Xun You listened very carefully, and asked a few questions from time to time, arousing Yang Feng and others' conversation and pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

Yang Feng was in high spirits and talked loudly until he was very drunk.

Guests are happy.

Early the next morning, Xun You set off and traveled westward in the chariot and horse provided by Yang Feng.

-

Tongguan.

Liu Xie stood on the plateau with his hands behind his back, looking at the big river in the distance and the mountains on the other side of the big river, feeling deeply moved.

At this time, Tongguan was just a fortress, not large in scale, but the terrain was extremely dangerous.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that one man guards the gate and ten thousand men are in charge.

Tongguan is well-known, thanks to Ma Chao.

In Romance, in the battle of Tongguan, Ma Chao beat Cao Cao to the point of cutting off his beard and robe, and he was in a terrible embarrassment.

In history, this battle was a wonderful battle in which Cao Cao beat east and west and won by surprise.

It's just that the history is not as exciting as the Romance, and most people prefer Xiao Xianrou Jin Ma Chao, so the story of cutting beards and robes is more widely spread.

"When was Tongguan built?" Liu Xie asked.

It is said that Tongguan was built by Cao Cao. Now it seems that this statement is absolutely unreliable.

Lan Tai ordered Shi Caiyan to hold a scroll of wooden slips, thought for a while, and reached out to brush a strand of hair from his temple.

"When the gate was established, I haven't seen it in the history books. But there was a peach forest in the Jin Dynasty, so I think it has something to do with it."

"What is Tao Lin Sai?" Dong Wan poked her head over and looked at Cai Yan curiously. "There are no peaches here."

"My lord, that area is the ancient peach forest. In spring, the valley is full of peach blossoms, and it is so beautiful." Cai Yan pointed to the east. "It is said that Kuafu chased the sun and came here. Because of thirst, he drank up the river first. Still not enough, he went to drink the Weishui again, and died before reaching it. Throwing his staff, it turned into a peach forest."

Dong Wan's eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed. "It's amazing. Is there really such a person?"

Cai Yan couldn't help laughing. "Kuafu is a god, but it's hard to say whether it's true or not. His story is not found in official history, only "Shan Hai Jing" and "Lie Zi" have records. It is not ruled out that there may be future generations attached to it."

Dong Wan was a little disappointed and didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Xie was a little more interested. "The origins of "Shan Hai Jing" and "Lie Zi" are suspicious?"

Cai Yan nodded. "These two ancient books have been mentioned a long time ago, but only a handful of people have seen them. Even the erudite Tai Shigong also felt that the "Shan Hai Jing" was unreasonable, and he never elaborated on it. It was Liu Xiang who officially mentioned these two ancient books. , Liu Xin and his son. In order to help Wang Mang usurp the Han Dynasty, Liu Xin fabricated a lot of fake books when he borrowed school books, and the possibility of these two books is also fabricated."

Speaking of academics, Cai Yan is in high spirits and speaks eloquently.

Liu Xie listened with great interest, but Dong Wan felt bored and turned around to play.

Seeing this, Wang Yue ordered Shi A to follow.Here the building is high and the ditch is deep. If you fall, you may die directly.

Cai Yan talked for a while, then suddenly changed the subject. "Your Majesty, I have re-read "Tai Shi Gong Shu" these two days, and suddenly I have a feeling."

Liu Xie turned to look at Cai Yan and smiled.

Cai Yan pursed his lips. "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Wang Situ once said that "Tai Shi Gong Shu" is a slander?"

"remember."

"In fact, it has been said that "Tai Shi Gong Shu" is a slander book for a long time, and it can even be traced back to Xiaowu at the earliest. Tai Shi Gong probably knew this, so he never thought of publishing it to the world, but hid it in famous mountains."

"Could this be the reason why "The Chronicle of Xiaowu" is missing?"

"Yes, but not quite."

"Why?"

""The Benji of Xiaowu", that is, the "Jin Shang Benji" in Tai Shigong's book is no longer written by Tai Shigong. How to criticize Xiaowu is hard to study. However, there are still traces in other chapters that have been preserved."

Cai Yan paused, turned his head to look around calmly, and said softly: "For example, "Biography of Scholars" and "Biography of Cool Officials."

Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan, waiting for the next text.

He has read "Historical Records", but he has a rough idea, but not the details.

Let him go to the book now, he may not be able to see the problem.

Cai Yan was disturbed by Liu Xie, and his eyes were puzzled. "Your Majesty... haven't you read these two articles? I have read them since I was 13 years old."

Liu Xie was hurt.

Even though "he" is very smart, as far as reading is concerned, compared with a top student like Cai Yan, he is really mediocre.

Even Yang Xiu, the true scholar, is very convinced of Cai Yan in private.

"Ling Shi, can you stop looking at me like this? Not everyone has a father who has a collection of thousands of volumes and is proficient in classics, and not everyone can remember as well as Ling Shi."

Cai Yan lowered his head in embarrassment. "Your Majesty is sorry for your impoliteness."

"It doesn't matter if it's not a crime, please tell me carefully, what are the criticisms in these two articles."

"Wei!" Cai Yan responded, considering his words.

I said it casually before, without the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, but I can no longer be so casual in the future.

Just because His Majesty doesn't mind, doesn't mean others don't mind.In case of being impeached, the removal from the office is a small matter, but the damage to His Majesty's reputation is a big matter.

While Cai Yan was thinking about what to say, Pei Qian walked over quickly.

"Your Majesty, Governor of Shu County, Yingchuan Xunyou, please see me."

Surprised and delighted, Liu Xie repeatedly ordered Pei Qian to invite Xun You to see him.

Pei Qian turned around and left.

Cai Yan felt relieved, and then remonstrated: "Your Majesty is thirsty for talents. It is rare, but the Xun family in Yingchuan is deeply involved with Yuan Shao. Xun You's intention is not clear, so don't be careless."

Chapter 173

Liu Xie felt that Cai Yan was right.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

It is an indisputable fact that the Kwantung officials waited and watched with currency, and hedged their bets.These counselors are all fat and fat, who knows what they are thinking in their hearts.Xun Yu, who was called loyal to the Han Dynasty by later generations, has never responded, and Xun You, who is known for his secrecy, has to be on guard.

Among the top counselors in the Three Kingdoms, Jia Xu was known for being wise and wise, while Xun You was known for being secretive, comparable to Chen Ping in the early Han Dynasty.

Most of the secret plans he planned for Cao Cao have not been handed down.

The depth of thought is probably only someone of Jia Xu's level can guess.

Liu Xie put away his excitement and stood on the plateau, looking at the large peach forest on the east side.

It's winter, and the peach forest doesn't have a single leaf. Against the backdrop of the ups and downs of the loess, it looks like light smoke. It's inexplicably bleak, which makes people feel melancholy.

The myth has faded, and the glory will eventually come to an end.

Whether the big man can be reborn from the ashes is still unknown.

Just like the nine twists and turns in front of you, it is easy to go with the current, but it is so difficult to sail against the current.

Thinking of where he was lost, Liu Xie couldn't help but sighed.

"The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are broken..."

After reading a sentence, I suddenly remembered that it is winter now, and the next sentence was really inappropriate, so I had to swallow it back.

What a failure.

Cai Yan suddenly said: "The ancient peach is waiting for the return of spring. It can withstand the hardships of wind and frost, and can drink clear and turbid water. It tastes like a lot."

Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan in surprise.

Can you take this too?

Cai Yan smiled slightly and took a step back. "Your Majesty, Xun You is here."

Liu Xie looked up and saw a middle-aged man walking over under Pei Qian's guidance.He was of medium build, with a dusty face, as if he had traveled a long distance.After sitting in the car for a long time, even walking feels a little unnatural.

But Xun You's expression was very indifferent, neither happy nor sad.

He walked up to Liu Xie, stopped in his tracks, looked at Liu Xie quietly, then lowered his eyelids, arched his hands, and saluted.

"The prefect of Shu County, Chen You, I have seen Your Majesty."

Liu Xie stretched out his hand to help, and said with a soft smile: "When the sea is flowing, you can show your true qualities of a hero. Xun Qing has the talent to save the world, how can you avoid the world and seek leisure. It is God's will that you can't go to Shu County."

Xun You was slightly startled, and then calmly said: "Your Majesty's false praise, I dare not take it seriously. If something can be done, I will do my best."

Liu Xie said again: "I hope I can get Xun Qing's help. Xun Qing has come from thousands of miles, can you teach me?"

"When I got out of the car, I didn't know the details, so there is no clever plan." Xun You paused. "There is one thing that I want to remind Your Majesty."

"tell me the story."

"At noon yesterday, I met Guo Tu at Caoyang Pavilion."

"Oh?" Liu Xie hesitated for a while, and suddenly said: "He left in a hurry, and he arrived at Caoyang Pavilion at noon yesterday?"

There was a smile in Xun You's eyes. "He did leave in a hurry. I speculate that he should have crossed the river at this moment, taking the way to Anyi."

"Anyi?" Liu Xie became vigilant and signaled Pei Qian to fetch the map.

Pei Qian took out the map he carried with him, spread it on the ground, and pressed it with a clod of soil.

Liu Xie knelt on one leg, squatting in front of the map, the more he looked at it, the more disturbed he became.

Guo Tuda escaped the night before yesterday and arrived at Caoyang Pavilion at noon yesterday. He traveled more than 300 miles in two days and one night, which is very fast.He left in such a hurry, but he took the way of Anyi, instead of heading east directly from Shan County, and returning to Ye City via Luoyang, naturally he had a purpose.

"Xun Qing, how do you know that Guo Tu will definitely go to Anyi?"

"Guo Tu is a man with the best face. If he is ordered to go on a mission and his teeth are broken, he will be shamed and humiliated. He must take revenge. The Hedong Wei family, known as the Hao family, has an old relationship with Yuan Shao. If Guo Tu wants revenge, go to Anyi. Ask Wei Shi for help, the easiest thing to do."

Liu Xie turned to look at Cai Yan. "Is there such a thing?"

Cai Yan nodded and lowered his eyelids. "At the beginning when I married Wei, it was Yuan who was the matchmaker."

Liu Xie was stunned.

He has always been surprised that although the Chenliucai family is not a first-class family, it is also a family of officials that can be counted.Cai Yong's uncle, Cai Zhi, was an official to Wei Wei. Cai Yong's father died young, and his official position was not very high, but Cai Yong's mother was the younger sister of Situ Yuanpang.Cai Yong himself is not an official, but he is a great Confucianist in the world.

How could he marry his darling daughter to Hedong, and it was the little-known Wei family.

There is no big family in Hedong, and it is a matter of the Western Jin Dynasty that the Hedong Wei clan became a noble family. The current Hedong Wei clan is a local wealthy family, and none of the Wei brothers are official officials, and they are not at the same level as the Chen Liucai clan.

This marriage would have never been possible without a matchmaker.

It turned out that it was Yuan who came forward.

Cai Yan didn't directly say who was from the Yuan family, but this is not important.

Yuan Kui and others were all killed, and all the connections of the Yuan family belonged to Yuan Shao.If the Wei family wants to repay the Yuan family, the possibility of agreeing to Guo Tu is extremely high.

If Guo Tu said that Cai Yan was by his side, Wei would have no reason to refuse.

Careless.

Yang Biao and Tian Fen are in danger, and something may happen to Hedong.

Liu Xie was very annoyed, but he forced himself to calm down.

Anxiety cannot solve the problem, and there is no cure for regret. What I can do now is to find a way to remedy it.

"Does Xun Qing have a solution?"

Xun You looked Cai Yan up and down. "May I ask Your Majesty, is this... Daughter Cai Bojie?"

Cai Yan bowed and saluted. "Chen Liu Caiyan, I have met Mr. Xun."

Xun You nodded and returned the gift. "When madam was in Hedong, did you know about Wei Gu?"

"Wei Gu likes to be a knight-errant. He breaks the country songs arbitrarily and often breaks the law. Although the elders of the Wei clan reprimand him, there is nothing he can do."

Xun You turned to look at Liu Xie. "Your Majesty, when Guo Tu goes to Hedong, he must seek out Wei Gu and lure him with an official title. I'm afraid it will be too late to stop him, so it's better to use a plan to hold Guo Tu back and relieve the danger of Shangdang first."

Liu Xie's heart moved, and he understood what Xun You meant.

Guo Tu left with hatred, focused on revenge, and would never be satisfied with making troubles in Hedong, and Shangdang is more important.

No matter how powerful the Wei family is, it is only a local tyrant after all, and having thousands of private parts is the limit.Facing the army, Wei couldn't last long.But if Yuan Shao sent people to take Shangdang, and then led Shangdang soldiers to reinforce Hedong, the situation would be different.
