(Thanks to the book friend "cerryleeon" for the monthly ticket. In addition, although the evaluation votes should be thanked, but since I don't like the score of the evaluation, I won't report the name. Hehe, tsundere~)

Cai Mansion in Luoyang seems leisurely and quiet on such days.

In the backyard, Cai Yong, the Marquis of Gaoyang Township who was already sixty years old and had the title of General Zuo Zhonglang, was enjoying the shade under an old locust tree.

It is already autumn weather, but the weather has suddenly become hotter in the past two days, which makes elderly people a little unbearable. Of course, it is rare for Cai Yong to have a clear mind at this time. In fact, it is mainly to stop his thinking and take a rest.

He needed to take a breath before continuing to write history. But he knew that better results could be achieved by combining work and rest, rather than just working hard.

Of course, this was also because of his agreement with Lu Bu. Lu Bu did not want to kill Wang Yun and avoid the tragedy of Cai Yong being humiliated and committing suicide to a certain extent. In the end, the old man died of overwork, so he made an agreement with him.

I have made a rule that I must stop and rest for a while before continuing. If I don’t do this, then Lu

Buhui tried every means to obstruct his work of compiling history, but Cai Yong agreed after much thought. After all, Lu Bu's fundamental starting point was to consider him, and thinking about it rationally, he did not hope that he would not be able to complete the work of compiling history due to physical reasons.

Keep going, not to mention that this is not just a job, but a mission for him.

To say that Cai Yong is able to sit here so peacefully now, Lu Bu must have contributed a lot. It should be noted that in the original historical time and space, Cai Yong was ordered to be imprisoned by Wang Yun because he mourned for Dong Zhuo, even though many ministers came to advise and persuade him.

, Wang Yun did not waver at all, which eventually led to the death of a generation of literary giants in prison. In fact, Wang Yun was very dissatisfied with Huang at the time.

Could what Wan and others said be his real reason for targeting Cai Yong? In this world, you can never underestimate those officials or politicians who can win a place to survive in troubled times, but you should never look down on them either.

The so-called reason, without the high-sounding cloak, is just a simple excuse purely for this purpose.

Of course, Lu Bu is here now. Although after Dong Zhuo's death, Cai Yong still seemed to pay homage to him from a distance. But Lu Bu was covering up for him. Moreover, Cai Yong's reputation in the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats is still very high. Although it seems that Cai Yong

But gradually walked with them

Fading away, not many people would even pay attention to his head during that time, but even if they knew it, they would still try to ignore the past. In addition, Wang Yun had died long ago, so Cai Yong no longer had anything to do with this incident.

Things have endured unforeseen disasters.

At the same time, because Lu Bu had greeted him early, Cai Yong could get the greatest convenience and help from his surroundings when it came to compiling historical records, which also eased his work to a certain extent.

After all, when Dong Zhuo was still there, although the most powerful official of the Han Dynasty made the decision, the actual implementation still depended on the specific people below. At that time

I don’t know how many people are working against each other, which makes Cai Yong very troubled. Now he has no worries about this at all. This also makes Cai Yong very emotional. Who would have thought that a good relationship that was just unintentionally forged would turn out to be today.

Being able to play such a role, who could have imagined that the arrogant military commander who was the backbone of the tiger would now be recognized as the humerus of the Han Dynasty and the pillar of the imperial court?

Lu Bu would help him in this way, of course, not only because of Cai Yan, who was fashionable in Gyeonggi Province, and his respect for this lovely old man who insisted on principles, but also because Lu Bu himself valued the compilation of history books.

.

It can be said that most of the rulers of the past dynasties paid great attention to this, especially the historians of the Han Dynasty who had a high status. Generally speaking, as long as there was no so-called "crime of disrespect" caused by Sima Qian being Li Ling to contradict Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they would

There will be no problem. Even so, Sima Qian's position has not been replaced. This is naturally due to the particularity of the historian's inheritance.

Cai Yong is not a professional historian. The reason why he was able to obtain the important responsibility of compiling the history of Han Dynasty is that one is from his family's academic background, and the other is that his own cultural accomplishment is convincing, whether in art, calligraphy, historical theory, etc.

In terms of attainments and achievements, he can be regarded as a great person in the world. If anyone else wanted to take over the responsibility of the historian, it might cause some controversy, but Cai Yong would not.

In the original historical time and space, Cai Yong was killed by Wang Yun. Zheng Xuan, a great scholar of Confucian classics, once lamented: "But I don't know who can continue it?" It means that after Cai Yong's death, I don't know who else can continue to edit the history of Han Dynasty.

In fact, if Sima Qian included all the previous eras such as Xia, Shang and Zhou when compiling "Historical Records", and it can be said that he summarized the past, then starting from Ban Gu's "Hanshu", the history books of the current dynasty should be

Written by people of the same dynasty, the chronological history of the Three Kingdoms "Three Kingdoms" was also written by Chen Shou who probably lived during this period.

"Book of the Later Han" was written by Fan Ye who lived in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Although they are both the "first four histories" with the highest evaluation among the Twenty-Four Histories, in terms of timeliness and certainty, except for the earliest "Historical Records"

Among the histories before the Qin and Han dynasties that are often obtained through textual research, the "Book of the Later Han" is probably the worst among them.

But this cannot be blamed on Fan Ye. We can only say that the history from Wang Mang's new dynasty in "Hanshu" to Han Ling in "Three Kingdoms" is actually included in this book that was originally supposed to be written by Cai Yong.

In the history of the Han Dynasty, it is a pity that because the person is dead, the book cannot continue. Naturally, it can only be buried in the dust of history. Otherwise, it will not be the turn of the younger generations two hundred years later to seal their coffins and draw conclusions.

Naturally, such a thing will not happen now, and Lu Bu also believes that Cai Yong will do his best to write a history of the Han Dynasty that can be passed down to future generations.

"Master, master..."

Cai Yong was thinking about what to eat later. He had to treat himself well, but he couldn't eat the hot pot created by Lu Bu anymore, although the thought of it made people greedy.

In fact, although Lu Bu was an otaku in his previous life, he was also an otaku who kept pace with the times, especially when it came to eating. Generally, he would always be the first to know about any new things outside and be willing to go out and try them out. There are many that are still available.

Trying to DIY it by himself. So in his mind

There are a lot of foods in it, some of which require special materials, which of course can't be done these days; and some of which can be made just by simplifying them a little with ideas and tools. Although the taste is much worse for Lu Bu, for Cai

Yong, which has never been touched before, is still very attractive.

Cai Yong is also a gourmet, and he definitely has something in common with Lu Bu in this regard. Unfortunately, there are no chili peppers these days. Lu Bu can't remember exactly when that stuff was introduced to China, but it won't be earlier than the Ming Dynasty.

.And now at this time, do you want to go to America to find it? There is no chili. To be honest, hot pot just feels

I feel that it lacks a lot of flavor. What Lu Bu taught Cai Yong is a simplified version of Sichuan hot pot, and it only has white soup. It is because of the lack of chili peppers. There is no way to mix it with brown sugar juice. The taste is much worse. Now

Cai Yong still likes it, but he is just greedy for novelty. If he eats too much, that's all.

At this time, Cai Yong was swallowing his own saliva. He was disturbed by this voice. He couldn't help but feel a little upset, but he recognized that it was the voice of his housekeeper. This housekeeper had been following him for a long time, and he was very discerning and would not normally come here.

If I bother myself sometimes, I must be running into some serious emergency.

Cai Yong couldn't sit still anymore. He opened his eyes and stood up, looking back at the direction where the housekeeper was running. He saw that the housekeeper, who was quite young, was in a hurry at this moment and was out of breath because he was in such a hurry.

He frowned and shouted: "Slow down, slow down...what's going on in such a hurry?"

"Master, there is someone outside, someone wants to see the master..."

Cai Yong was a little unhappy. The housekeeper was not the kind of person who didn't take things lightly. Why did he say such nonsense at this time? However, he still heard something unusual. What he said was "Someone wants to see you."

, instead of "someone wants to see you". Just one word difference, the difference is huge.

"Tell me clearly, who is here and why are you so panicked?"

There was a hint of shame on the steward's face at this time, and he murmured: "I don't know who he is. I only know that he wears a bamboo hat and has a powerful figure. Although he is only one person, no one can stop him from coming in?"

Cai Yong's house doesn't have that many guards, and in fact, they generally don't need them. He doesn't have any interests entangled with him. Who would take the risk just to deal with him?

Cai Yong originally thought that the housekeeper was causing chaos, but he didn't expect that not long after the other party finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from the front yard, followed by a fierce fight, and then heard screams.

, the door to the front yard was pushed open again after the housekeeper, this time obviously more forcefully, then

After the door was completely pushed open, it was quickly brought back by inertia. At that moment, Cai Yong and his two men saw the scene in the front yard through the crack in the door. The nursing staff were all lying on the ground.

Everyone was wailing, and at this time the person who pushed the door had already walked in, and then the door shook a few times and then closed itself.

Sure enough, as the housekeeper said, this man was wearing a bamboo hat, with a circle of black gauze hanging down from the bamboo hat, blurring his face.

This man was indeed a powerful man, with a strong back and thick waist, and thick round arms. He also brought a burst of evil energy as soon as he came in. Cai Yong couldn't help but shudder when he faced him, and immediately exclaimed: "Who are you?"

No one could have imagined that this man would stop at this moment, and after hearing Cai Yong's words, he would take off his bamboo hat and reveal his true face. The moment Cai Yong saw it, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are..." Okay

He had extremely strong self-control and quickly controlled his emotions, so that he did not shout out everything, but there was still a trace of surprise on his face, which was obviously very unexpected for the identity of the visitor.

In fact, he couldn't help but be surprised. The rough-looking man standing in front of him was not Hua Xiong, who was originally known as the most powerful general in the Xiliang army. Who was he?

In order to compile the history of the Han Dynasty, Cai Yong had no choice but to entrust him to Dong Zhuo. During this period, he did not do anything else, and he could not be considered as aiding Zhou. Therefore, although his reputation was damaged by being involved with the national traitor Dong Zhuo, it did not harm his reputation.

This did not affect his status in the hearts of most scholars. For example, Taifu Ma Ridan and other scholar-bureaucrats had always supported and admired his insistence on compiling history, and they automatically ignored his following Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, when Dong Zhuo was overthrown and Lu Bu took control of Luoyang and became a Taiwei, his friendship with Cai Yong would satisfy all Cai Yong's requirements for compiling history, and he would do it more thoroughly than Dong Zhuo did at the beginning. It was almost everything he needed.

Just provide him with something, and there will no longer be a situation in history where he was killed because he was not allowed to write and revise history. Of course, he will not be able to commit suicide again.

Now Cai Yong lives a fulfilling life every day. He does the things he likes and ignores the big things in the world. This makes him live younger and younger.

But the sudden appearance of Hua Xiong in front of him made him suddenly feel that he still seemed unable to completely escape because he was also a person in the game.

…

Xun You has returned to Luoyang City. Although the situation in Hebei has not been completely stabilized, and even the situation in Jizhou has not been settled, the rest is just some finishing work. Even if Xun You is left there, it will only hold him back.

There wasn't much room for him to perform, but on Luoyang's side, Lu Bu had sensed the unrest here, so he simply sent him back to assist Zhang Liao and others to stabilize the situation and welcome enemies from all sides.

Of course, in addition to this, there was another reason why Xun You came back in a hurry, that is, he had some news that he wanted to tell Xun Yu urgently. It was best to tell it in person, so he came back directly.

"Are you serious?"

Faced with Xun Yu's disbelieving gaze, Xun You seemed quite calm. He knew that it was not his uncle who doubted him, but that he just didn't believe what he said. He spread his hands and said: "Of course it is absolutely true.

These are not what You Xin said, but the conclusive information received from the Taiwei and read by me."

Xun Yu remained silent for a long time, his eyebrows furrowed, indicating that he was in difficult thinking at this moment.

Xun You didn't say anything else, but he disagreed in his heart. Unlike Xun Yu, he had no feelings for the so-called Xun Chen. He was neither happy for his sudden appearance nor because he was missing.

And feel

Sadly, although Xun You and them are both uncle-nephew and uncle-nephew, they are not from the same family. They are separated by two generations. In a big family like the Xun family, they are not close enough, not to mention that Xun You is not even close at all.

I have never met that Xun Chen.

Xun Yu then said again: "What do you think, Taiwei?"

Xun You paid close attention to Xun Yu's expression at this moment, and saw that he didn't show any other emotions, and he was a little unsure. Finally, he said truthfully: "The Taiwei is capable of doing everything. If he has real talent and learning, he will naturally do it when the time comes."

You will keep him here, just for the sake of the two of us, you can't just ignore him, right?"

Xun Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What are you talking about? It's not like you don't know Youruo's abilities. If he is willing to surrender to the rank of Lieutenant, then he still needs our relationship?"

Xun You curled his lips and said calmly: "You really don't know what your friend Xun is capable of. I only know that in all these years, I have never heard that Yuan Benchu ​​has such a person under his command."

"You..." Xun Yu really had nothing to say, because this was a fact, and Xun You clearly did it on purpose. There was no doubt that he would continue to argue. He would not engage in these unnecessary arguments.
To be continued...
