"Yiyi, go and invite Xun Gong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Huh? Lord, Xun Gong has just slept for less than two hours......"

Lu Ren sighed helplessly: "Go wake him up!" This time the matter is not so simple, I can't make up my mind alone, I have to ask Xun Gong to help me analyze and analyze. ”

Chen Yiyi had no choice but to go to the lounge next to her to wake Xun Yu up. And Xun Yu heard that something was looking for him, so he wiped his face and rushed over with dark circles under his eyes, and then the telegram in Lu Ren's hand was handed to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was also taken aback when he saw the content of this telegram, because no one could have imagined that Sun Shangxiang would make such a big fuss. And when he saw the words at the end of the telegram, "Now in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu is selling his property to fund Sun Shangxiang to recruit volunteers, and he intends to go to the north to help in the war", Xun Yu smiled, and the telegram was stuffed back into Lu Ren's hands.

"Yihao, what do you think?"

Lu Renxin said how to look at a chrysanthemum, I am not Yuan Fang. Then he shook his head indifferently and said, "Xun Gong, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Xun Yu said: "If I suddenly say that I want to sell my property now, and I have to get money and food to recruit soldiers to help fight in the north, how will you treat me?" ”

Lu Ren smiled and said, "Of course it's to stop you." At best, I need your help here, or at worst...... Xun Gong, let's make it clear first, I'm not targeting you. If you allow the gentry of the world to recruit soldiers and horses at will, it is too easy to cause disintegration and civil strife. In fact, in my opinion, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the court ordered all states and counties to recruit troops and horses to resist on their own, although there was a last resort, but the result was a direct cause of all parties to support the army and self-respect, followed by a scuffle between the families. ”

Xun Yu also smiled: "I admit that what you said is also very reasonable, but you don't have to talk so much now, right?" Although the generals of Jiangdong have their own troops, they also have their corresponding restrictions, and now Zhou Yu is recruiting soldiers with such fanfare, if there is no nod from Sun Quan, how can Zhou Yu do this? It's all too easy to be called a rebellion. ”

It should be mentioned here that the military systems of the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu are all different. Among them, the military systems of Wei and Shu are similar, that is to say, the troops belong to the state, and although the Shijia Hao clan also has a department, it is closer to security in nature; But Wu is not like this, their military system is a private soldier system, that is, each general has his own private soldier quota, like the record of Wu in historical materials often has the meaning of "giving X thousand soldiers". Moreover, it should be noted that "private soldiers" and "pro-soldiers" do not mean the same thing, and in general terms, "pro-soldiers" roughly mean guards, who generally do not participate in combat missions, while "private soldiers" are combat troops in the real sense.

These are all here, only to say that Lu Ren also nodded after listening to Xun Yu's words, and Xun Yu picked up the teacup and poured a few sips before putting down the teacup in his hand, holding his chin and muttering: "So this series of things is far from being as simple as it is literally written." With the old man's understanding of Sun Shangxiang, she can indeed do it when she returns to Wu alone and kidnaps her brother Sun Quan, and she does have the opportunity to easily approach Sun Quan and succeed in another blow. However, after the whole body retreated, and now Zhou Yu recruited soldiers in the name of Sun Shangxiang to prepare to go to the north to help in the war, I'm afraid it was not Shangxiang's own idea. ”

Lu Ren said: "I can also see this, I believe that this matter should be from Zhou Yu's handwriting." It's just that I just can't figure out why Zhou Yu came to such a hand now. ”

Xun Yu smiled again: "This matter is complicated and complicated, but it is actually very simple to say that it is simple. Let's put it this way, Lord Sun made such a fuss, which really lost Sun Quan's face, so the current Sun Quan is naturally in a hurry to get back these lost faces. Otherwise, how could he Sun Quan still have the face to stand in front of Jiangdong's fathers? ”

After a pause, Xun Yu continued: "Of course, these are all face-to-face questions. In terms of practical significance, Sun Quan's desire to do a black hand to Yihao was poked out by Lord Sun, with the ability of Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su, I believe they will immediately understand that their black hand can't be done, and not only can't it, after this kind of thing is poked out, the relationship between them Jiangdong and Yihao will also become very tense. So at this time, Sun Quan's gang has to do something quickly to ease the relationship with Yihao. Yihao, you've been mixed up for so many years, you should understand this truth, right? ”

"Oh......"

Lu Ren nodded abruptly at this time. In fact, to be honest, Lu Ren mainly failed to react before, but after being pulled out by Xun Yu now, Lu Ren's thoughts immediately became a lot more active, and then he remembered a lot of things.

Xun Yu here saw that Lu Ren was contemplative, so he didn't say anything more. Because Xun Yu knew a lot of things, he had to let Lu Ren think about it himself, and then see how Lu Ren made his own decisions. In addition, Xun Yu was called up in the middle of his sleep before, and his spirit had not yet recovered, so he said hello to Lu Ren and went back to the lounge to catch up on sleep.

After a long time like this, Xun Yu wandered into Lu Ren's office. Lu Ren took the time to dry Xun Yu a few times while processing the documents, just looking at Xun Yu's comfortable appearance, it is not difficult to see that Xun Yu has lived a very nourishing life in Yizhou over the years.

It is said that although Cao Cao's claim to the public is a pain in Xun Yu's heart, in the original history, it was just an end of suicide by taking poison as an "empty box", but with the emergence of Lu Ren and the rise of Yizhou, the fate of Xun Yu now has a bit of a "bright and bright village".

Let's put it this way, when Cao Cao wanted to become a prince, his power and power were already at their peak, and Cao Cao had always adopted a growth strategy of supporting a family and fighting a family, and at that time he was already increasingly estranged from the Xun family. In this situation, Xun Yu knew very well that he was powerless to curb the ambitions of Cao Cao and the Cao clan, but if it was just like this, Xun Yu didn't seem to need to commit suicide, right? Committed suicide because he saw the wrong person? This seems to be too inconsistent with Xun Yu's intelligence.

Regarding this issue, Lu Ren actually had a serious discussion in secret after Erxun's uncle and nephew defected to Yizhou. According to Lu Ren's experience in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty for so many years, coupled with the insights and ideas of the modern traversers, the final conclusion was that in the original history, Xun Yu had to die for the survival of the Xun clan.

To put it simply, Cao Cao is a person who loves talents but also avoids talents, especially for outstanding talents who cannot be used by Cao Cao, Cao Cao would rather bury them with his own hands than use such talents for his own use. Cao Cao's claim to the public touched Xun Yu's bottom line to the Han family, but on the other hand, Xun Yu's attitude touched Cao Cao's bottom line? Besides, what kind of talent is Xun Yu? Cao Cao's number one butler and chief of the general staff! If such a person has the heart to make a few stumbling blocks, let alone Cao Cao, even other bosses may not be able to bear it!

In addition, the influence of the Xun clan is not a joke, Cao Cao was able to succeed, to a large extent in the early stage, with the help of the power of the Xun clan, and in turn, the benefits of the Xun clan were not less. In this way, in the middle and late stages of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's control of the Xun clan will inevitably be a little too big to lose, which is something that Cao Cao is deeply taboo about (of course, the problem of not getting rid of the tail is also something that the Cao Wei Dynasty has not been able to get rid of), so Cao Cao's suppression of the Xun clan can be said to be sparing no effort.

A careful look at the historical materials is not difficult to see that since the Battle of Chibi, Er Xun seems to have never appeared in front of Cao Cao, which may also show that Cao Cao has begun to alienate Er Xun and the Xun clan since then. After that, Cao Cao's proclamation was used as the fuse, Xun Yu openly opposed Cao Cao, and the contradiction between Cao and Xun seemed to have reached an irresolvable stage.

The rest is easy to explain. Xun Yu's talent is too good, and Xun's influence is relatively large, Xun Yu openly expressed his unsupportive attitude in Cao Cao's proclamation, and it is probably unrealistic to want Cao Cao not to kill Xun Yu and the Xun clan. In this case, Xun Yu, as the leader of the Xun clan, can only use his own death to alleviate Cao Cao's hostility towards the Xun clan and prevent the Xun clan from becoming a victim of his beliefs. And at this point, Xun Yu's attitude when Cao Cao was about to become king can also be said to be a corroboration of Xun Yu's thoughts when he committed suicide.

(PS, Xun You is angry at Lao Cao in the romance, and Xun You is silent in the official history, just blur it here and bring it over, it's meaningless to be too real.) ）

However, when analyzing this at that time, Lu Ren was also a little confused, that is, with Xun Yu's attitude, the person who should change the vote the most should be Liu Bei, not him Lu Ren. Although it is said that it was Lu Ren who personally ran over to pick up Xun Yu at that time, in a sense, Xun Yu is not like the kind of person who was persuaded by Lu Ren so easily.

But a little later, Lu Ren experienced some messy things before he realized that he was a fan of the authorities and made some common-sense mistakes. And there are many reasons why Erxun will defect to Yizhou in Luren.

First of all, the degree of hostility between Cao Cao and Liu Bei cannot be ignored. With such a pair of opponents, the strictness of the border blockade can also be imagined. And Er Xun and his Xun clan basically stayed in the hinterland of Cao Realm, wanting to smuggle from under Cao Cao's nose to Liu Bei's territory, one or two people may be okay to say, a huge clan is a bit of an idiot's dream. Besides, Cao Cao will not guard against Xun Yu? Don't keep an eye on the Xun family?

Secondly, since Xun Yu is planning for the sake of the clan, the development of the clan's strength is also a big problem. If you go to a new territory but don't have a foothold, isn't it useless to go? And unfortunately, even the Jingxiang and Shuzhong owned by Liu Bei at that time, or the Jiangdong owned by Sun Quan, I am afraid that there is no room for the Xun family to intervene and develop.

In contrast, although Lu Ren's Yizhou was so rich that the other princes drooled, the clan power was not as great as in other places. Strictly speaking, to this day, Yizhou is only the existence of the three main clan forces of the Xuzhou Mi clan, the Zhongshan Zhen clan, and the Wujun Lu clan. Moreover, these three families are close to running their families by business, and they are far less powerful than clans like the Xun family in other aspects. In other words, the Xun clan is in Yizhou, and its clan strength will have a lot of room for development.

Thirdly, the relationship between Cao Cao and Lu Ren has always been good, and the trade exchanges are relatively close, and the corresponding blockade is far less strict than that of the Sun and Liu families, which will be much more convenient and safer for the relatively large Xun clan.

Of course, if it were just these, Xun Yu would not be very happy in Yizhou, after all, Cao Cao's proclamation of the public would hurt Xun Yu's heart too much, but the problem was that Lu Ren was very satisfied with Xun Yu's attitude towards the Han family.

Lu Ren has always adhered to an attitude of respecting the Han family but never blindly obeying, which is very similar to Xun Yu's philosophy. To be precise, Lu Ren found that Xun Yu's concept of governance was somewhat close to the constitutional monarchy of later generations, that is, the royal family, as the spokesperson and signboard of a country, should be respected and worshiped accordingly, but the power cannot be held by the royal family.

In fact, Xun Yu's concept came from the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, although the candidates fought for hegemony, they respected the Zhou royal family very much, but now the Zhou royal family was replaced by the royal family surnamed Liu, and the Spring and Autumn Princes were replaced by the family of the world. In other words, Xun Yu is from the perspective of the interests of the family, hoping that there will be a capable family to govern together, so as to revitalize the Han Dynasty. This also explains why Xun Yu was so supportive of Cao Cao's "Fengtianzi to order all the candidates", but he cared so much about the royal family surnamed Liu. However, Cao Cao's title made Xun Yu completely see Cao Cao's ambition to dominate the world, which was far from the concept that Xun Yu wanted to implement, so it also contributed to the rupture of Cao and Xun.

When it comes to Lu Ren, Lu Ren actually doesn't take imperial power seriously at all, and he knows that he has no ability and doesn't want to be an emperor. It's just that because his territory is Yizhou, his angry plot makes him not want to become an X traitor who splits the country, and in terms of political interests, Lu Ren also needs the existence of the Han family, so Lu Ren has always insisted that he is a courtier of the Han family and maintains the unity of the overall situation of the country. This made Lu Ren both respect and worship the Han royal family, but he did not obey the royal family's orders in everything, and as a result, this happened to meet Xun Yu's concept.

Xun Yu knew that he was powerless to stop Cao Cao, but in his lifetime, it was also a great comfort for him to be able to assist a candidate with similar ideas. In particular, Lu Ren was able to restrain Cao Cao's further ascent to a certain extent, and then he was able to fight for Han, which made Xun Yu feel extremely gratified. Therefore, although Xun Yu does not have a formal position in Yizhou today, as a guest secretary and a senior adviser, Xun Yu is still very dedicated. It's just that human nature is lazy, Xun Yu has no job in Yizhou, and the life in Yizhou is rich and comfortable, Xun Yu will inevitably become a little lazy over the years, after all, he is also old. If you want to change in modern times, you can retire long ago.

The gossip ended here, just saying that when Xun Yu woke up from sleep, and went out for a walk and then returned to Lu Ren, Lu Ren also made an idea based on his own judgment. Seeing Xun Yu coming back, Lu Ren said to Xun Yu: "Duke Xun, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and finally decided to give full support to Lord Sun who wants to go to the north to help in the war. After all, Jiangdong was so troubled by Shang Xiang, and if Sun Quan wanted to do something to us in Yizhou, I am afraid that it would arouse the anger of the people in Jiangdong, and with Sun Quan's intelligence, he would not do such a stupid thing. So at this time, we should give him a step down to step down. It's just that I'm a little unsure of what Zhou Yu thinks, in case Zhou Yu has something else mixed in it, we Yizhou are afraid that we won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

Xun Yu also thought a lot when he was walking, and now when he saw Lu Ren mention it, he smiled and said, "Yihao is too worried." The old man thought that Zhou Yu would not have any tricks to get caught in it. ”

Lu Renqi said: "Why is Xun Gong so sure? ”

Xun Yu smiled again: "Yihao, you might as well think about it, what kind of situation has Zhou Yu been in Jiangdong in recent years?" As far as you and I know, the military power he has been cut in recent years is not a little bit, if Sun Quan really has complete trust in Zhou Yu, how can he cut Zhou Yu a lot of military power? Maybe it can be said that the current Zhou Yu is actually very similar to the old man before he arrived in Yizhou, so Yu and Yu can be said to be sympathetic to each other. Some of his thoughts on acting like this can also be guessed by Yu. ”

Lu Ren became interested: "Please also ask Xun Gong to talk about it in detail." ”

Xun Yu stroked his beard and smiled: "I have a lot of intelligence, and I have a chest to repay the loss, but I have to make a lot of concessions because of the taboo of high merit; Although he intended to enter Jingzhou in order to realize Jiangdong's plan to divide the world in half, because of a Zhuge Kongming stuck in Jingzhou, his plan could not be carried out. The years are not forgiving, and now Zhou Yu is already in his forties, and he will be half a hundred years old in a blink of an eye, but he can't make contributions for this and that reason, and even bury his ability for life, with Zhou Yu's temper, where will he be willing to do this? Now there is a good opportunity in front of me, not only can I not betray the lord and make friends, or even help the lord do something, and at the same time, I can show my talents and leave a name in history, in exchange for Yu, Yu may never let go easily. ”

Lu Ren immediately understood the meaning of Xun Yu's words, and after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "It seems that Xun Gong and I have similar ideas, but for the sake of comprehensiveness, I plan to invite Zhou Yu to come to Yizhou to live for a few days, what does Xun Gong think?" ”

Xun Yu smiled and said: "It seems that Yihao has made up your mind in your heart, but it is only because you have concerns and your heart is not strong, so you will ask the old man such words." Well, that's fine, but Yu also wants to meet this character who burned Cao Mengde back in the first place. ”

Lu Ren said: "Duke Xun is so sure that Zhou Yu will come? ”

Xun Yu smiled again: "If there is a scheme, he will not dare to come." But he has no schemes, so how can he not come to show his sincerity? ”
