Xun Chen left during the most chaotic period in Jixian County, and even Yan Rou, who was begging for a life outside the Saiwai, knew about the prestige of the Yuan family, and even sent a team of Wuhuan cavalry to escort him back to Bohai.

However, even the Wuhuan Raiders, who have been famous in the world for hundreds of years, have to give up a little bit of thin face when they see the cavalry team that Jiang Jin is chasing all the way.

The messenger who escorted Xun Chen was out of respect for the Yuan family, and handing over Xun Chen's convoy to Jiang Jin was even more respectful to Yanbei.

The difference between the words is different, and the meaning is different.

Yan Rou is a Han who can eat in Xianbei outside the Saibei and Wuhuan in China, and it is because of this that he knows better what Yanbei relies on to have today's prestige, which is not just something that can be easily achieved by the blade in his hand or some soldiers and horses under his command.

Guts, courage, mind, bearing, and heart, which one is missing, and what can be done in the land of Youzhou?

Even if Jiang Jin was a bad man, he didn't have any disrespect when he led the cavalry to escort Xun Chen's convoy back to Jixian County...... Xun Chen showed the bearing of a scholar, and after asking Jiang Jin about the situation, he calmly asked the convoy to return to Jixian County, neither humble nor arrogant between words and deeds, so that Jiang Jin could not find the slightest fault.

Jiang Jin lost a lot of face in the state capital, and then he informed Xun Yue of the news that Xun Chen brought back, Xun Yue, who heard good words on weekdays, had a cold face, which made Jiang Jin feel a little embarrassed, and he had to touch his nose and say: "Xun Jun, Jiang brought it, and Xun Jun will be in charge of the rest of the matter...... Jiang went to patrol the city. ”

Walking out of the state capital, Jiang Jin looked around the county magistrate street of Jixian County, with an impatient and sad face on his face, scratched his ears, and muttered with a group of sergeants and complained: "You said that this Xun brother, how good it is to cast all of them...... Let them figure it out for themselves, let's go, Lao Tzu knows that there is a wine bar in Jixian County, and Hu Niang, who sells wine, is unique, go and drink a few big bowls! ”

Jiang Jin has unloaded his burden, but for Xun Yue, questioning Xun Chen is far more difficult than seeking the country.

"Big brother will find Chen, what is the matter?" Xun Chen waited in the state capital for a long time, and did not show the slightest impatience, but asked the person to take out the books from his luggage, read them on the desk, and raised his eyes to see Xun Yue enter the room, then put away the book, and said: "Youzhou Mu was killed by thieves, and my brother needs to return to Jizhou to inform Yuan that it is not appropriate to stay for a long time." ”

Xun Yue looked at the second brother, there were complicated emotions lingering between his eyebrows, and he didn't speak, just sat aside and thought about how to speak, and then asked, "What have you done in Jixian County?" ”

"Brother, you and I are our own masters, there are some things that I can't say, and I hope my brother won't be surprised. What's more, the things of these days are under my brother's nose, do you have to say it yourself? Xun Chen's face was extremely relaxed, and in his heart it was estimated that the matter of instigating Qi Zhou to kill Gongsun Ji was known to the state government, but this was not a big deal, so he didn't have much fear of Xun Yue, but said with a smile: "If my brother has something else, I will come and ask, but if it is a matter of Youji, I'm afraid Chen will not be able to obey his fate." ”

"Obey? Do you know that the people of Youzhou are going to kill you? Seeing that Xun Chen was still acting so relaxed, Xun Yue couldn't help but hammer the case angrily, and reprimanded: "Yuan Benchu was so shameless that he let Xun kill Liu Gong, could it be that you are also crazy?" ”

Kill Liu Yu?

"What do you mean by that, brother? Even if we are our own brothers, you and I should not kill each other, so why should you frame me? Hearing that Liu Yu was killed, Xun Chen's face was not calm, and he threw down the book and got up angrily and said: "Liu Bo'an's death is inseparable from your Youzhou, this matter is obviously the most beneficial for Yan Zhongqing behind you, how can you blame Yuan Gong and me!" ”

Xun Chen's reaction was so great that it was beyond Xun Yue's imagination, and he couldn't help frowning, staring at Xun Chen with his eyes, hoping to see a little bit of Ni Duan on his cousin's face...... But no, Xun Chen's panic was not a fake.

The crime of killing Liu Yu is too big for anyone to bear.

"Brother, don't look at me like this, if Xun Youyou has the courage, he won't let the Xun family bear such a guilty responsibility!" After saying it righteously, Xun Chen asked cautiously: "Liu Bo'an, didn't you die at the hands of Yan Zhongqing?" ”

Firmament! Xun Chen always thought that this was the handiwork of Na Yanbei, with such courage and cruelty, only the Liaodong horse bandit could do such an evil thing!

"No, General Zhongqing raised troops to avenge his brother's attack on Liaoxi, and planned to conquer Goguryeo in the east, hoping to deter Gongsun Zan with the prestige of Duke Liu, how could he assassinate Duke Liu at this time?" Xun Yue took a long breath and sat on the couch for a long time without saying a word, then asked, "If you didn't do this, why did Youruo instigate Qi Zhou to attack and kill Gongsun Ji?" ”

"It's just an opportunity to act, and the blame is put on Gongsun Bogui, so that the Youzhou army can be led south, which is beneficial to Yuan Gong." Xun Chen said angrily, although he seemed to be panicked on his face, he was actually thinking about the ins and outs of this matter in his heart, "This matter is strange." ”

Xun Yue's sentence just now that Yanbei has recently deployed is not a whistleblower, just as Yanbei knows the situation in Jizhou well, Yuan Shao is also aware of the recent affairs in Liaodong, Yanbei and Liaoxi attack each other, and fight Goguryeo, which is something they know, just as Xun Yue said...... Don't say whether Yan Bei wants to or not, just looking at the current situation, Yan Bei will not kill Liu Yu.

As for Gongsun Zhan, it's actually impossible, it's just that everyone hopes to put the blame on General Baima.

"Is it ......?"

Xun Chen suddenly thought that Guo Tu had brought people to Jixian a few days ago to inform him of the war situation, and after inquiring about Liu Yu's attitude, he told him that if there was a change in Youzhou, he would return to Jizhou in time...... Soon after Guo Tu left, Liu Yu was assassinated.

Could it be that this matter is really related to the Yuan family?

At this time, Xun Chen himself began to wonder in his heart, could it be that Yuan Shao had made two preparations, and if Liu Yu was unwilling to help, he would kill Liu Yu and force the Youzhou army to enter the game?

"Could it be what?"

Xun Yue saw that Xun Chen seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked...... He didn't want Liu Yu's death to have anything to do with the Xun family.

"Nothing, just thinking of something inconsequential."

Xun Chen shook his head, and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Xun Yue: "Don't think about what is your master, General Yan has ordered, if you can't clean yourself up from this matter, don't think about leaving Jixian." Could it be that being a brother will hurt you? ”

"Oh, of course not. Since the matter is not clear, then I can only live in Jixian County first. Even so, Xun Chen didn't plan to tell Xun Yue about the slightest clues he had captured, but just spread his hands to show his annoyance, and then he turned over and asked Xun Yue, "Brother, are you really going to work for Yan Zhongqing?" He is just a horse bandit rebel against the party, and even if he works, it should be that Yan Zhongqing who works for his brother...... In my opinion, it's better for my brother to defect to the Yuan family with me, the most unfortunate Yanzhou Mu Cao Mengde can be regarded as having some talents, why do you need to defect to Yan Zhongqing? ”

"In today's troubled times, the princes of all parties are swarming to rule the land, and the imperial power is falling...... Don't glare at me, brother, you know it's true. Since Dong Zhuo, there has been endless trouble, why should my brother hold on to the intention of assisting the Han family? Even after being told by Xun Yue that he would be placed under house arrest in Youzhou, Xun Chen was still extremely optimistic, and even began to rebel against Xun Yue: "I think the Yuan family is the true hero who can achieve things!" As for the generation of Yanbei, although they can be famous for a while, but they stick to the land of Liaodong, and they can be restrained from going west and south, and they will chase the Central Plains...... How can you achieve your brother's ambition? ”

Although the two dragons of the Xun family have long been separated, Xun Chen knows this brother who is dedicated to serving the Han family very well, and said: "In my opinion, now is a good opportunity for my brother, with my intelligence and brother's political strength, I will take this opportunity to collect the work of Youzhou and spread the word to the counties, so that Bao Yuncheng can welcome my brother into Youzhou like Cao Mengde." There is Yanbei in the east to stick to the gate, and the elder brother only needs to go south and work together with Yuan Gong to pacify the rebellion of Gongsun Zhan, and the north can be free from war, recuperate for a few years, and calm the world according to the power of Ji Yan! ”

"Youruo, you're right."

Xun Yue's praise for Xun Chen is sincere, and he believes that Xun Chen has the ability to engage Youzhou in playing with applause...... Instigating Qi Zhou to kill Gongsun Ji has already shown his ability. The Yuan family now occupies the Bohai Sea and the river, and Cao Cao is in charge of Yanzhou with his brother, if he gets Youzhou again, it is true that no one in the whole north can stop him; And Yuan Shu looked at Jing Yang according to Nanyang, and he only lost once when he swept all directions.

At the beginning of the road, they were all big people who could get things done.

"But Youruo, you only see one thing wrong, Yuan Benchu is not a hero, the so-called Yuan family is just a slave who betrays the master!" Xun Yue sat on his knees and said to Xun Chen: "In my opinion, General Du Liaoyan is a hero, as for the general you said, he is from a humble background...... The first general of the imperial guard was just a manu, and those from humble backgrounds are now receiving the imperial seal as a general, but Yuan Benchu only relied on the prestige of the clan to proclaim himself a general. What's more, knowing people by origin, friends are too superficial. ”

Xun Chen was choked by his brother's words and argued: "Even if you don't talk about your background, what kind of hero can Yan Zhongqing be?" ”

"The Kwantung coalition army is looking westward, and the general leads the pioneers, which is stronger than Yuan Shao, and he is heroic; The princes drew the land and ruled, the soldiers competed with each other, the general served Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north, and rejected Goguryeo in the east, which was stronger than Yuan Shao and was heroic. The princes are weak and strong, and the generals are strong and virtuous, stronger than Yuan Shao, and are heroic! Yuan Shao was vainly self-abolished, rejected by Liu Gong, and this time it was inseparable from the death of Liu Gong, Yuan was deeply favored by the Han family, but he drew the land and ruled, and sought to seize Jizhou and the Gongsun family rose up a war, so that the lives of Jizhou were devastated...... Such villains' dirty behavior was actually regarded as a hero by Youruo? ”

"In my opinion, the Yuan clan will undoubtedly be defeated, if you are not as good as you vote for General Yan as soon as possible, you and I will follow the same account, respect the Han family, destroy the Di, and punish the ministers and thieves!" Xun Yue said, pursed his beard and raised his head slightly, glared at Xun Chen, and said: "With the way of the world!" ”
