Chapter 108: Visiting Xunfu (1)
Conquering Xun Yu is an important purpose of this trip to the Central Plains, Lu Yao returned to the mansion after saying goodbye, and immediately took out an intermediate teleportation talisman, filled it with Xanadu Town, and teleported back to the territory.
Having just appeared in the Lord's Mansion, Lu Yao unexpectedly sensed that something was wrong. The mansion was densely packed with soldiers, especially around the lord's stone stele, and there were many light and dark sentinels, which made the lord's mansion have a little more solemn aura out of thin air.
Lu Yao's heart moved, and he hurriedly ordered someone to find Ding Yan, and after careful inquiry, he learned that Xanadu Town had repelled two Yellow Turban Army. But immediately after that, someone infiltrated the lord's mansion, but fortunately found it in time and scared away the thief. Ding Yan was afraid that the lord's stele would be lost, so he arranged heavy troops to protect the lord's stele.
"The subordinates are not doing well, please ask the lord to condemn the crime." Ding Yan felt guilty and bowed down to plead guilty.
"It's okay, the Central Plains is not over. I can't get out, and I can't blame you. Lu Yao stepped forward to help Ding Yan up, and simply ordered: "You go to Mr. Deheng to come over." ”
Ding Yan was ordered to retreat. After a while, he took Ma Jun to Lu Yao. Lu Yao hugged his fists apologetically and said, "Deheng, I want to go to the Central Plains with me." It's all up to you. At the latest, I will send the public surplus back. ”
"Lord...... The Lord is ...... Feel relieved. Ma Jun clenched his fists and took his life to heart, it was only three days.
Lu Yao smiled, didn't be verbose, and immediately took out the teleportation talisman and took Ding Yan back to the Yingchuan Mansion, and spent one night fully explaining the main purpose of the trip, so that Ding Yan could think of a way to break the situation.
Nothing was said all night.
At noon the next day, Xun Yu came to the mansion alone and invited Lu Yao to the banquet. Lu Yao happily accepted the invitation and followed Xun Yu to Xun Mansion with Zhao Yun and Ding Yan, the two pillars of literature and martial arts.
The Xun family was originally a descendant of Xunzi and a great family of Yingchuan. Xun Mansion occupies a large area, and the historical heritage of the Xun family can be seen only from the magnificent and elegant main entrance. It's just that Yingchuan was captured by Bocai, and the Xun family, these high-ranking families, were unfortunately affected, and the prospect was no longer at this time.
Xun Yu took Lu Yao and the three of them into the main gate, led the way in front, and came to the hall. At this time, dozens of people from the Xun family were waiting in the hall. Seeing Lu Yao coming, Xun Sui stepped forward and hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Our mansion unfortunately suffered from the Yellow Turban thief. It took a day to settle down again, and it was shabby, which made the captain smile. ”
"The old gentleman is polite, in the troubled times, it is rare to have a tile to cover your body, and a soup to eat your stomach, how can you take care of it." Lu Yao returned the salute. Hearing these words, the Xun family has relatives.
Bocai led the army to attack Yingchuan, and more than 100 members of the Xun family panicked and fled separately. Xun Qi followed Xun Yu's advice, found an abandoned dwelling in Xicheng, and hid with him. The Xun family was originally a wealthy family, where did they suffer like this. Lack of food and clothing, thanks to a few powerful family members waiting for the opportunity to find back to Xunfu and smuggling some food and clothes back from the cellar, they barely survived this difficult time.
Before Lu Yao came to the door, the food was almost gone. When the Xun family heard that there was a large army attacking the city outside the city, they were shocked and frightened, lest the Yellow Turban thieves repel the imperial army. At that time, it is unknown whether he will be able to smuggle some grain back to Xunfu.
"What the captain said is very true." Xun Qi had relatives in his heart, and commanded in a loud voice: "Come here, prepare a banquet." ”
After a short time, the guest and the host were seated. Lu Yao sat on the left head, and Ding Yan and Zhao Yun took the seats in turn. The Xun family sat on the right side, and Xun Yu sat on the right.
"Didn't ask the captain about the two of you?" Xun Qi looked at Ding Yan and Zhao Yun with a smile.
"In Xia Ding Yan, the word Gongyu, Lujiang Anfeng people's clan." Ding Yan smiled and gave up his hand and briefly introduced himself.
"In Xia Zhao Yun, the word Zilong, Changshan Andingren's clan." Zhao Yun followed with a fist.
Xun Sui returned the salute, then raised the wine bottle, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the rescue of the captain, the Xun family will remember it forever." However, all the valuables in the family were plundered by the Yellow Turban thieves, and there was only a glass of water and wine to express gratitude. ”
"The old gentleman is polite." Lu Yao raised the wine bottle, touched Xun Qi and Xun Yu and other Xun clan relatives, and drank it all in one gulp.
The next thing is that the guests and hosts are happy, no one mentions the main thing, they talk about some wind and snow, and recite poems. Lu Yao deliberately found the Xun family, and he was very well prepared, but he did not show his timidity. Occasionally, one or two famous sayings plagiarized from later generations popped up, which immediately attracted continuous applause from the Xun family. Not to mention Ding Yan, no matter the wind and snow, poetry and songs, it is completely easy to come by, and there are more than a dozen people who accompany the Xun family.
After three rounds of drinking, Lu Yao glanced at Ding Yan beside him seemingly casually. The latter understood, and said loudly: "The ten permanent servants of the imperial court are in charge, and they corrupt the dynasty." Seeing that the troubled times are coming, I don't know what the Xun family plans to do? ”
At this time, a Xun clan member had just improvised a small fu. Since Xun Qi was talking to each other, Ding Yan suddenly changed the topic, and everyone suddenly quieted down.
"Nowadays, the Yellow Turban thieves are everywhere, and the disasters of war are not false one after another. But when the soldiers are sent three ways today. Huangfu Zhonglang will lead the army to rescue Yingchuan. General Lu Zhonglang led the army to Guangzong to pursue the first evil Zhang Jiao. Call on all states and counties to recruit soldiers. The Yellow Turban Thieves seem to be powerful, but they are actually vulnerable. To be pacified by the Yellow Turban thieves, how can the troubled times come from? Xun Yu was the first to refute, obviously making a lot of preparations in advance.
Ding Yanchang smiled and got up, and scolded Fang Xuan: "This is wrong. You only said that General Huangfu Zhonglang and General Lu Zhonglang, why didn't you say that your relatives He Jin He Da General? Pacify the Yellow Turban Thieves, who has the greatest credit in the eyes of today's son? Now that the ten permanent servants are in trouble, how can he know that his relatives will not be in trouble? ”
After asking three questions, Xun Yu's face was hot, and he sat down.
Throughout the Han Dynasty, relatives were in power, and eunuchs were overthrown by the emperor and then took power. Later, the eunuchs were in power for a long time, and their relatives were supported by the emperor to overthrow the eunuch politics. The two sides sang and I appeared, taking turns to control the government.
The most famous relative was Wang Mang, who became emperor himself. And the most famous eunuch is naturally the Ten Standing Attendants. The Xun family is a literati and is no stranger to this.
"That's not true." One of the people sitting at the head of Xun Yu got up and braided and said: "The ten permanent servants covered the holy hearing, causing great chaos in the sky. But the Yellow Turban thieves swept the world, how could the Ten Standing Servants hide it. When today's son learns of the people's suffering, he is bound to revive the dynasty and eradicate the traitors. And the general was born as a butcher in the market, and he has neither prestige nor talent, how can he convince the public? ”
The Xun family suddenly perked up and looked at Ding Yan one after another.
Ding Yan smiled and said nothing, shook his head slightly, and waited until the Xun family's hearts were on fire, and then he smiled and said, "Dare to ask Mr. Reputation?" ”
"In Xia Xunyu, the word Gongda. The father Xun Yi is a side branch of the Xun family. Xun You Shi Ran gave up his hand and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The Xun family suddenly suffered a thief disaster, and the relatives were separated. Luckily, I accompanied the second seat, which made Mr. smile. ”
"Mr. Gongda is highly talented, and he is ashamed of himself." Ding Yan smiled and gave up.
When the Xun family heard that Ding Yan admitted that he was not as good as Xun You, they immediately showed joy. Even Xun Yu was smiling at the corners of his mouth, the wrinkles on his face were stretched, and he looked at Xun Yu frequently bowing his head, and he thought it was true.
At this time, Lu Yao got up with a long smile, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Xun family.
"That's not true."
