Chapter 50: Epilogue (Not Over, Don't Get Me Wrong)

Xun Yu, the word Wenruo, Yingchuan people, is twenty-seven years old.

He was born in the Xun family, one of the four surnames of Yingchuan, and his grandfather Xun Shu was well-known in the world and was called Shenjun.

Xun Shu had eight sons, all of whom were also famous in the world and were known as the Eight Dragons. Xun Yu's father is Xun Sui, one of the Eight Dragons, and his uncle is Xun Shuang, who used to be a commonplace, and now he was forcibly recruited by Dong Zhuo and served in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the first year of the Yonghan Dynasty, the Han Emperor Liu Bian ascended the throne.

Xun Yu was promoted to filial piety and was appointed to guard the palace order, and he was the official in charge of the emperor's pen, ink, paper and other items.

Unexpectedly, in September, the Ten Standing Servants were the troubles of the Dynasty, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and abolished the Han Emperor Liu Bian. Xun Yu immediately sensed that the situation was not good, and without saying a word, he abandoned the official and returned to his hometown.

After returning to his hometown, he found his father at home and said: "Yingchuan is the land of four wars, and now I am afraid that the world will change, and Yingchuan will inevitably be affected." Therefore, please leave as soon as possible, and do not stay here for long. ”

However, the villagers miss their homeland and are reluctant to leave.

In desperation, Xun Yu had no choice but to take his clan and take refuge in Jizhou.

Soon, Dong Zhuo's crusade began......

From the beginning, Xun Yu was not optimistic about this so-called coalition army, thinking that it was difficult to make a difference.

But he still decided to follow Yuan Shao to observe in secret.

After more than half a year of war, Xun Yu found that Yuan Shao was not a person who achieved great things. He was about to return to Jizhou, but he ran into a fellow countryman, Guo Jia. And under Guo Jia's persuasion, Xun Yu continued to stay, observed Cao Cao, and quite agreed.

Today's discussion of the princes is over, and Xun Yu has made a decision.

He found Guo Jia and said to Guo Jia, I want to meet Cao Gong.

Guo Jia naturally would not refuse this, and even felt that Xun Yu was far better than him, and wanted to keep him by Cao Cao's side.

And Cao Cao is no stranger to Xun Yu.

When he was in the General's Mansion, Cao Cao knew Xun Yu's uncle Xun Shuang, and through Xun Shuang, he had dealings with Xun Yu.

He knows very well that Xun Yu has the talent of Wang Zuo.

So when he saw Xun Yu, the whole person was stunned.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, he reacted, laughed, stepped forward and grabbed Xun Yu's hand and said, "If you get Wenruo's help, why worry about the big thing?" ”

Xun Yu smiled but said nothing.

After the excitement passed, Cao Cao stabilized his mind.

After the three of them sat down separately, Xun Yu asked, "Jin Yu came here because he had questions and wanted to ask Cao Gong." ”

"Wen Ruoxiu should be polite, but it doesn't hurt to ask."

"Today, what Yuan Shao said in the big tent is also heard by Yu.

Dare to ask Cao Gong, what are your plans in such a situation? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Don't hide it from Wenruo, before you came, I was worried about this.

Previously, Cao took the life of the world as a plan, and did not hesitate to risk his wife and defected to the coalition army. But these days, I am disheartened. The princes have their own minds and refuse to do their best. I thought he had big ambitions, but I didn't want him to have other plans.

The tiger prison battled, and the heroes stopped.

Under Xingyang City, the 8,000 Yingchuan disciples were gone, which made Dong Zhuo even more arrogant.

It was rumored that Dong Zhuo was now about to move the capital to Chang'an, and Luoyang was prosperous, and it was all destroyed...... , it hurts.

However, now, there are only 3,000 soldiers, and there will be no more than a few. Even though he had the intention to kill the enemy, he was powerless, so he wanted to withdraw from the coalition army. ”

Xun Yu was taken aback when he heard this.

"Cao Gong, never!"

He stood up and said loudly: "Cao Gong must not quit at this time, otherwise his efforts will be wasted." ”

"What do you mean by this?"

Xun Yu took a deep breath and said, "Dong Zhuo is brutal and beyond common sense, so sooner or later he will die violently due to chaos, and it is difficult to do anything."

The public strength is weak, if he is an enemy of Dong Zhuo, it is no different from a mantis arm as a car.

However, the more this is the case, the more the public cannot be returned!

This time, the princes crusaded against Dong Thief, but the result was only to increase the laughing stock and be ridiculed by the people of the world. Yuan Benchu was famous, but his selfishness was too heavy, and he couldn't command the heroes at all. The princes avoided the war and refused to do their best, so that Dong Zhuo won one victory after another, and his arrogance was overwhelming.

Only Cao Gong, since he defected, spared no effort and fought bravely.

Although Hucheng Pavilion was defeated three times in three battles, he still refused to be discouraged, and then succeeded in a battle, which was praised by the people of the world. Ten miles ago, it was Cao Gong who led his troops to help Gongsun Zan regardless of the danger, and took the lead. After breaking and pressing the formation, resisting Dong Zhuo's tiger and wolf division, it is a real hero. Now, when the princes of Chenggao mention Cao Gong, who is not praised? ”

Cao Cao listened, and his heart was beautiful.

However, his face was still indifferent, and he waved his hand lightly and said, "Wen Ruo, this is not my work." ”

Xun Yu said with a straight face: "Gong Cao, at this moment, it is definitely not the time to be humble.

The public does not hear it: Half ninety of those who walk a hundred steps?

Cao Gong is now, only one step away, that is, the army enters Luoyang, so that there is a beginning and an end.

For this reason, even if the soldiers are gone, as long as Cao Gong is there, there will be a time for recovery...... Cao Gong knew that entering Luoyang and exiting at this time would result in completely different results. As long as Cao Gong can enter Luoyang, the heroes of the world will gladly defect at that time. ”

Hiss!

After Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's words, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He closed his eyes and pondered the meaning of Xun Yu's words repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Xun Yu said was very reasonable.

He must show the image of a loyal minister who fights for the Han family wholeheartedly.

You must know that his background is not as good as Yuan Shao, which is a congenital weakness. But this weakness, now listening to Xun Yu's words, does not seem to be irreparable.

Of course, there are risks involved.

But since ancient times, wealth and wealth have been sought in danger, what can you do without taking risks?

Ziyang did not hesitate to bear the infamy and stayed by Dong Zhuo's side to protect his wife and children. If I can't achieve something, how can I be worthy of Ziyang?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes.

"If what Wen said is true, I will fight to the end!"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Sunny, blazing.

In the twilight of summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

On the main road to Guanzhong, a group of soldiers and horses was marching in formation.

Ding Chen straddled the horse with a leisurely expression.

Not far behind him, two carriages creaked along the road.

"Ziyang!"

From the carriage, an old voice was heard.

Ding Chen hurriedly turned his horse around, came to the side of the carriage, and said respectfully: "Sir, do you have any orders?" ”

"I've thought about it."

"Huh?"

"After arriving at Michi, I won't enter Chang'an first."

"Why?"

"The prime minister summoned me, and I came.

However, now that the prime minister has moved the capital, there are many affairs in the DPRK and China.

And I don't have many relatives and friends in Chang'an, so I rushed to go, I am not familiar with the place, and in case of trouble, I am afraid that there will be no one to help.

Ziyang is loyal, and I believe in it.

So I want to rest with Ziyang in Michi first, and when Ziyang returns to Chang'an, I will go with me, presumably the prime minister will not blame. ”

"This ......"

"Isn't Ziyang willing?"

Humanitarians are treacherous, ghosts are slippery, and that's basically the case.

Cai Yong has been stumbling for more than ten years, how can he not understand this truth?

He is upright, and sometimes even naΓ―ve, but that doesn't mean he's a fool. On the contrary, Cai Yong is very smart, even when he was an official in the DPRK more than ten years ago, he was not a stupid person. However, he was a little bookish in his bones, and the disaster of the party was fierce back then, as a scholar, Cai Yong naturally wanted to take a stand, so he fought fiercely with the eunuchs.

More than ten years have passed, and many things have been opened.

I think that at the beginning, those so-called best friends, when they saw him come forward, they all showed full support.

But when he was in trouble, he only saw the people who fell into the well, but no one did anything for him. Later, he went to Koto and took refuge in his student's home. At that time, even his in-laws, that is, the Hedong Wei family, refused to help.

was forced to come this time, Cai Yong actually had concerns.

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo threatening him with the lives of his clansmen, he might not have bowed to Dong Zhuo.

That's right, when he arrives in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo will definitely treat him like a guest.

But so what?

The situation in Chang'an is so complicated that even Ding Chen said that it is a pool of muddy water.

Cai Yong is not alone, he still has his daughter with him, so he must be safe, and it is best to find someone who can be relied on.

But in Chang'an City, he did not have any friends.

It was at this time that he met Ding Chen, which made his eyes light up.

Cao Cao, he also understands this person. Although his understanding of Cao Cao still stopped at when Cao Cao was the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang, set up a five-color stick to kill Uncle Jian, and then assassinated Zhang Rang, he knew that he was a person who could be relied on.

In order to protect his sister and nephew, Ding Chen had to join Dong Zhuo's army, which is understandable.

When the revolving door was closed, Cai Yong observed Ding Chen more closely.

After making sure that Ding Chen was not a womanizer and had no ill intentions towards his precious daughter, he finally made a decision.

Ding Chen was in Xingyang and made great achievements.

At the time of the revolving gate, whether it was the Liangzhou army or the merge state army, they also respected Ding Chen.

Even Lu Bu, whose eyes were higher than the top, was very polite to Ding Chen. This shows that Ding Chen already has enough strength.

With his help, it won't be too difficult to come to Chang'an!

Ding Chen didn't expect Cai Yong to think so deeply, and was forced by Cai Yong, he hurriedly said: "What did Mr. say, you are willing to follow me to garrison Michi, I can't ask for it." However, there was a commotion in the barracks, and I was worried that it would disturb the peace of my husband. ”

"Don't disturb, don't disturb!"

Cai Yong smiled and said, "Ziyang can arrange a place for me to live next to the barracks, so that it will not affect Ziyang." ”

Get!

The old gentleman looks like he's entangled with himself!

For Cai Yong, Ding Chen is not disgusted.

This old gentleman is not like before, the old scholars he met when he followed Cao Cao were holding shelves one by one, so bored.

Cai Yong is very funny and talks casually.

At least, in the past ten days, the old gentleman has never put up any shelf in front of Ding Chen, which makes Ding Chen feel very comfortable.

"Since the gentleman has decided so, the kid can't ask for it."

He chatted with Cai Yong for a while, and then urged the horse to leave.

"Father, why do you follow him?"

Cai Yan sat aside, showing dissatisfaction.

Cai Yong smiled: "Is there anything wrong with following him?"

That Dong Zhuo, the nature of a tiger and a wolf. The father is now old and cannot afford to fight with him. With Ding Ziyang's protection, you and I can have less trouble in Chang'an. ”

"With him?"

Cai Yan was a little unconvinced.

Cai Yong said: "Zhao Ji Mo underestimated him, not to mention that he had made military exploits before, just look at the soldiers and horses accompanying him, all of whom were proud of the soldiers and fierce generals, but they obeyed him; In the past, the soldiers and horses automatically retreated, not daring to compete with them, knowing that he had some means. Zhaoji, this time is different from the past, you remember, after arriving in Chang'an, the full stomach is not comparable to the three-foot Qingfeng.

As long as Ding Ziyang is here, no one will come to trouble. ”

Full of economy, not as good as the three-foot Qingfeng?

Hearing Cai Yong's words, Cai Yan couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Perhaps, this is the sorrow of readers...... In front of the sword, even if there are thousands of truths, they can't explain it clearly.

But maybe my father was right!

With that lazy guy here, maybe the trip to Chang'an won't be as difficult as imagined......

Thinking of this, Cai Yan suddenly became a little curious about Ding Chen.

That night, Ding Chen and his entourage camped in Xin'an.

Wei Yue, the general of Xin'an, was born in the Liangzhou Army, so he was very polite to Ding Chen.

Maybe he heard that Ding Chen had already accepted Li Ru's solicitation. To some extent, Ding Chen has entered the upper echelons of the Liangzhou Army.

In addition, Ding Chen made great contributions in Xingyang, and captured Yingchuan Taishou.

It is conceivable that after arriving in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo will definitely reward him...... You don't see, this time the capital was moved, Dong Zhuo specially sent people to escort Mrs. Ding and Cao Ang, and the protection along the way was very thorough, which showed that Dong Zhuo and his people attached great importance to Ding Chen.

Ding Chen naturally did not refuse Wei Yue's overtures.

He attended a banquet set up by Wei Yue that night and did not return to the camp until midnight.

"Luoyang, what news is there?"

After he sat down, he took a towel from Pound's hand and put it on his face...... Those Liangzhou people can really drink!

"I just got the news that the princes have joined forces and are coming to Luoyang.

Sun Jian entered Luoyang City, and Cao Cao ......"

Gao Shun said this, a little hesitant.

Ding Chen opened his eyes suddenly, took the wet wipes away, and sat up straight.

"What's wrong with Brother?"

Cao Cao did not enter Luoyang City, but led the troops alone and continued to march west...... was ambushed by Xu Rong in Gucheng, and the whole army was annihilated, and now he doesn't know where to go. ”
