Chapter 1536: The Battle of Xuzhou (133)
Xun Chen's talent, don't say that it is looking at Jizhou, even if there are few people in the world who can compare with it, he is the existence of Jizhou, such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu and even Cheng Yu to Cao Cao, in the battle of Guandu in history, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, Xu Yu are the masterminds, and in terms of his talent and temperament, it can even be said that it is a copy of Xun Yu, and Xun Chen is not in a hurry but shows extraordinary talent in strategy.
It's hard for you to find such a template to describe Xun Chen, just like when Cao Cao said Xun Yu again, he would compare him to Zhang Liang, when he was also serving Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had already seen Xun Yu's talent, so he was able to call out my son when he took refuge, that is to say, his talent can be compared with Zhang Liang, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.
And Xun Chen's wisdom and strategy, also not lost Xun Yu, but his talent is by no means comparable to him, his perfection is difficult to describe by a person, if he also has Zhang Liang's strategy, then in terms of talent, he is not lost to the great Confucian Cai Yong.
In this matter, even Xun Yu has to bow down, it can be said that the battle of Guandu is a head-to-head dialogue between their brothers, sometimes it is not the best one who will achieve the final victory, this is the military, he can't just use the surface strength to measure the final trend of the war, but the surface strength determines the strength of the battlefield.
But it's a pity that he couldn't let the dominant Yuan Shao finally win, and finally lost the initiative in Guandu, not only lost the initiative to compete for the world, but also soon after Yuan Shao died of illness, even the entire Jizhou was owned by Cao Cao, but Xun Chen disappeared from the stage of history.
No one knows where Xun Chen went after the battle of Guandu, and there is no news of him in the official history, as if such a comprehensive and flawless man disappeared out of thin air overnight, I don't know whether he surrendered to Cao Cao, or stubbornly died in this chaotic army, or after Yuan Shao's defeat, he was disheartened and returned to the mountains and forests, he is like Nanhua in the romance, Zuo Ci There is no news of immortals like Nanhua and Zuo Ci, and compared to Nanhua, a mysterious figure, Xun Chen is indeed a person,
Xun Chen in history has left many unsolved mysteries, such as whether he is Xun Yu's elder brother or younger brother has always been a mystery, especially since his talent can be compared with Xun Yu, then why did he not turn his head to Cao Cao like Xun Yu, after all, at the beginning of Cao Cao's rise, he received strong support from the Yingchuan system, and many Yingchuan scholars in Jizhou switched to Cao Cao.
But the two rival brothers finally parted ways, and even faced off on the battlefield in the battle of Guandu, which has to be said to be a mystery, especially at the moment when everyone had the intention of retiring from Yuan Shao's Guandu defeat, only Xun Chen still insisted on his own opinion and strongly demanded to hold on, which is simply a performance of undying.
But after Liu Lan came to the end of the Han Dynasty, some of the puzzles were solved, and initially his understanding of these two pairs of brothers was completely the three brothers of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Jin was in Wu, Zhuge Liang was in Han and Zhuge was born in Wei, but now it seems that this possibility is greater.
Whether it is above history or under the current situation, there can be greater and better development in the future, it is nothing more than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Liu Lan is of course one of them, but people like Liu Lan will definitely not be treated by the children of the Xun family, so the children of the Xun family will naturally only consider these two people.
It's as simple as that, no matter who wins in the end the two brothers, the Xun family will only be better, without any impact, as far as this choice is concerned, the choice of the Xun family brothers has nothing to criticize, and compared to Xun Yu's lack of attention, Xun Chen has been his extremely trusted mastermind since he came to Yuan Shao's side, in this case, no matter whether his vision is problematic, and whether he sees that Cao Cao has more development prospects, he will only choose to stay, and will not leave like his own brother.
Because he has got everything he deserves, but Xun Yu doesn't, people move the living tree and die, Xun Yu can only choose to leave, come to a place where more development can be valued to display his ambitions, this can be completely referred to Zhuge Liang, can't he see that Cao Cao is the person who is most likely to end the troubled times, he can definitely see it, but why did he finally go out of the mountain to help Liu Bei, isn't it because of these two points, can be valued, and can display his ambitions, with these two points, even if it is a mantis arm as a car, Don't you want to be bold enough to try it?
The same principle is also true for Xun Yu, when Cao Cao was at his weakest, Xun Yu came to serve, couldn't he see that Yuan Shao was the man who was most likely to end the troubled times at that time, and he could naturally see it, but why did he leave, not only did he not have the opportunity and space to display his ambitions, but he stayed in Jizhou, he was the foil of others, and he would always live in the shadow of his brother, and the same was true for others, either there was no development, or there was no development and there was no chance like Yuan Shu and Liu Biao. Choose and choose, you can only choose Cao Cao.
But Xun Chen didn't have to think about this, what he had to do was not how to make himself better, because he was already a supreme minister, all he needed to do was how to make Yuan Shao stronger.
Xun Chen and Yuan Shang, who suddenly visited, came to his living room, Xun Chen, who was still a little polite and modest before, finally showed his hand in front of Yuan Shang, I have to say that the calligraphy of the chief mastermind in the general's mansion is really impressive, even if there is a famous calligrapher in this world, I am afraid that it is only between the two of them, and this is still Xun Chen without investing energy, after all, he prefers the identity of the mastermind similar to a military advisor.
If you really want to indulge in the mountains and rivers and recite poetry against him, and use your energy in these places, then his reputation can only catch up with the great Confucian Cai Yong.
But even so, he is still extremely conceited about his flying white body, which is the confidence that he will spend half an hour every day to improve, and he is convinced that in today's world, no one can surpass him in flying white body.
A song by Cai Yong "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Caves" was completed overnight, Yuan Shang in the study stood beside Xun Chen, from the moment he lifted the pen, his whole person seemed to have changed, that kind of natural casualness seemed to disappear, you are difficult to use serious, attentive words to describe the middle-aged in front of him at this moment, this sudden change is difficult to describe, I saw him pick up the pen and concentrate for a moment, and then it was achieved overnight, and the calligraphy masterpiece of Feibai came out like this.
Xun Chen stopped his pen, and after drying the ink, he carefully handed him over to Yuan Shang, and said with a smile: "Let the third prince laugh." ”
"Good words, good words!" Yuan Shang's understanding of Feibai is very shallow, but he has a collection of the same ink treasure in his home, which he often sees in his father's study. After asking, he learned that this was his father who had worked hard to get it from Fenglai Lou when he was in Luoyang, and the owner of this ink treasure was Cai Yong, and the poem on it was also "Drinking Horses Great Wall Caves".
He is no stranger to the original Yuan Shang, but at this moment he is in a trance, because if he hadn't just taken it from Xun Chen's hands, he would almost not be able to tell whether what he was holding in his hand was Xun Chen's ink treasure or Cai Yong's ink treasure, but one thing can be known that this one is completely a fake, because Xun Chen is completely imitating Cai Yong, so even if such a fake flows to the market, it may also be worth a lot of money and has a high collection value, but it will never be able to surpass Cai Yong's authentic work.
But if Xun Chen left his poems on top of this ink treasure, then this ink treasure will be worth a fortune, but unfortunately Xun Chen just wanted to prove his flying white body to him, and he didn't really think about writing it for him.
It seems that Xun Chen is still quite taboo about this kind of thing, except for the friendship that really can't stand it and has to write, or has to write in a good mood, he never takes the initiative to leave any ink treasure, even if Yuan Shao speaks, he directly refuses, no one can force him to do what he doesn't want, and although he is willing today, he just wants the third prince to know how high the sky is, and even if this ink treasure flows into his hands, it doesn't matter.
"Third son, please take a seat!" The maids and servants had already prepared the pastries and fragrant tea and left, and Xun Chen, who had written Mobao, naturally said to Yuan Shang.
"You're welcome." The guest is as he pleases, although Yuan Shang's identity is not ordinary, but after all, he is a guest in Xun Chen's mansion, so it is naturally impossible to take the host, even if Yuan Shao comes, he still has to be polite to sit in the main seat under Xun Chen's strong request, not to mention Yuan Shang, how can he have this guts.
After Xun Chen came to the main seat, he just knelt on one knee, and waited until Yuan Shang sat down completely, and then flattened the other leg, and after sitting down, Yuan Shang first took a sip of fragrant tea on the table, and I don't know when it began, the tea drinking habit in the south gradually spread, and now almost the entire Han Dynasty began to drink tea, and this is not the already scarce material life of the people has added an elegant pleasure.
Of course, for the method of drinking tea, with the popularity of tea and some people began to specialize, but just like any new thing depression, there will always be many detours, after all, it is still in the exploration stage, in this period, many people began to pour good spices into the tea to increase the mellow flavor of tea, but soon a book of "Daguan Tea" came out, and it completely made people have a subversive change in the way of drinking tea.
It turns out that tea does not need to add any spices, the fragrance of tea itself is enough to ensure the sweet taste of tea, and as for many people will feel bitter and astringent when drinking tea, in fact, there is no need to make a fuss, this is the reason for the tea itself, and using spices to remove them is to add to the snake, the best way is to reduce the amount of tea when drinking tea.
Of course, because of the speed of the spread of books in this era, coupled with the literacy rate, the real way to drink tea is still passed on through the population, and this new way of drinking tea has naturally been brought to Liaodong by many business travelers from Qingzhou and spread to the world, and with the spread of tea, the drinking utensils specially made for drinking tea in Xuzhou began to spread.
He is no stranger to the original Yuan Shang, but at this moment he is in a trance, because if he hadn't just taken it from Xun Chen's hands, he would almost not be able to tell whether what he was holding in his hand was Xun Chen's ink treasure or Cai Yong's ink treasure, but one thing can be known that this one is completely a fake, because Xun Chen is completely imitating Cai Yong, so even if such a fake flows to the market, it may also be worth a lot of money and has a high collection value, but it will never be able to surpass Cai Yong's authentic work.
