Chapter 50 Epilogue (It's not over, don't get me wrong)
Xun Yu, whose courtesy name is Wenruo, was from Yingchuan and was twenty-seven years old.
He was born into the Xun family, one of the four surnames in Yingchuan. His grandfather Xun Shu was well-known in the world and was called the God Lord.
Xun Shu had eight sons, all of whom were famous in the world, known as the Eight Dragons. Xun Yu's father was Xun Fu, one of the Eight Dragons, and his uncle was Xun Shuang, who was once a Sikong, but now he was forcibly recruited by Dong Zhuo and served in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the first year of Yonghan, Emperor Liu Bing ascended the throne.
Xun Yu was puritan and appointed as the magistrate of the palace, and was an official in charge of the emperor's pen, ink, paper and other items.
Unexpectedly, in September, the ten general servants suffered the disaster to the court. Dong Zhuo entered the capital and deposed Emperor Han Liu Bian. Xun Yu immediately realized that the situation was not good, and he left his official position and returned home without saying a word.
After returning to his hometown, he found his elders and said, "Yingchuan is a place of four battles. 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 a long time."
However, the villagers miss their hometown and are unwilling to leave.
In desperation, Xun Yu had to take his clan to Jizhou for refuge.
Soon, Dong Zhuo's crusade kicked off...
From the beginning, Xun Yu was not optimistic about the so-called coalition forces and believed that it was difficult to achieve success.
But he decided to follow Yuan Shao to observe secretly.
After more than half a year of war, Xun Yu discovered that Yuan Shao was not the one who accomplished great things. He was about to return to Jizhou, but he met his fellow villager Guo Jia. And under Guo Jia's persuasion, Xun Yu continued to stay and observe Cao Cao, and agreed quite well.
Today, the princes' discussions ended, 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. He even felt that Xun Yu was far more talented than him, and he wanted to keep him by Cao Cao's side.
And Cao Cao was not unfamiliar with Xun Yu.
When he was in the General's Mansion, Cao Cao knew Xun Yu's uncle Xun Shuang, and had dealt with Xun Yu through Xun Shuang.
He knew very well that Xun Yu had the talent of a king and a subordinate.
So when he saw Xun Yu, he was stunned.
After Xun Yu finished speaking, he realized that he laughed, stepped forward and grabbed Xun Yu's hand and said, "If you get help from Wen and Ruo, why worry about the big thing going to happen?"
Xun Yu, but he smiled but said nothing.
After being excited, Cao Cao calmed down.
After the three of them sat down separately, Xun Yu asked: "Jin Yu has a question and wants to ask Mr. Cao."
"Wen Ruoxu wants to be polite, but it doesn't matter if you ask."
"Today, Yu also heard what Yuan Shao said in the big tent.
I dare to ask Mr. Cao, what are the plans for such a situation?”
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I'm not hiding Wenruo, I was worried about this before you came.
Previously, Cao took the plan of the people of the world and did not hesitate to take risks to his wife and defected to the coalition forces. However, after these days, he was discouraged. The princes had their own thoughts and refused to do their best. He thought he had great ambitions at first, but he did not expect that he had other plans.
At the battle at Hulao Pass, the heroes stopped.
Under the city of Xingyang, all the eight thousand Yingchuan children were lost, which made Dong Zhuo even more arrogant.
Cao heard that Dong Zhuo was about to move the capital to Chang'an. Luoyang was prosperous and destroyed... Cao was really heartbroken.
However, now, there are only three thousand soldiers and only a few generals. Even if you are determined to kill the enemy, you are unable to do so, so you want to withdraw from the coalition."
Xun Yu was shocked when he heard this.
"Mr. Cao, never!"
He stood up and shouted: "Don't withdraw at this time, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted."
"What do you say in Wen Ruo?"
Xun Yu took a deep breath and said, "Dong Zhuo is cruel, which is beyond common sense, so sooner or later he will die in chaos and will be difficult to achieve.
The public is weak and if he is an enemy of Dong Zhuo, he is no different from being a mantis armed in a chariot.
However, the more this happens, the more unable the male will retreat!
This time the princes attacked Dong's bandits, but they only laughed at them, and were ridiculed by the people of the world. Yuan Benchukong had a reputation, but his selfishness was too strong to command all the heroes. The princes avoided the war and refused to do their best, so that Dong Zhuo won one after another, and his arrogance was so strong that he could not command all the heroes.
Only Cao Gong has no spare energy since he defected to the top.
Although Huchengting was defeated in three battles and three defeats, he still refused to be discouraged. Later, he succeeded in one battle and was praised by the people of the world. In the past, Cao Gong ignored the danger and led his troops to help Gongsun Zan, leading the army. Later, he cut off the rear and suppressed the formation to resist Dong Zhuo's tiger and wolf army. He was a true hero. Now, when the princes of Chenggao mentioned Cao Gong, which one was not praised by the intersection?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao felt very happy.
However, there was still a calm look on his face, and he waved his hand gently and said, "Wenruo, this is not my cause."
Xun Yu said seriously: "Duke Cao, this moment is definitely not a time to be humble.
Don’t you hear that: Is it a hundred steps a half ninety?
Now, Cao Gong is only one step away from his troops entering Luoyang, so that there will be 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 to rise again... Cao Gong should know that entering Luoyang is completely different from quitting at this time. As long as Cao Gong, you can enter Luoyang, the heroes of the world will happily join you."
hiss!
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He closed his eyes and repeatedly pondered the meaning of Xun Yu's words. 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 is wholeheartedly fighting for the Han Dynasty.
You know, his origin is not as good as Yuan Shao, and this is his innate weakness. But this weakness, now as Xun Yu said, does not seem to be irreparable.
Of course, there will definitely be risks here.
But since ancient times, wealth and honor have been sought in danger, so what can I not take risks?
Ziyang did not hesitate to bear the infamy, stayed by Dong Zhuo's side to protect his wife and children. If I cannot achieve anything, how can I be worthy of Ziyang?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes.
"Wen Ruo said so much, I will fight to the end!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The sun is bright, the blazing.
In late summer, the weather gets hotter.
On the road leading to Guanzhong, a army was lined up.
Ding Chen sat on the horse with a leisurely look.
Not far behind him, two carriages were seen mixed in this team, creaking along the main road.
"Ziyang!"
An old voice came from the carriage.
Ding Chen hurriedly turned the horse around, came to the carriage, and said respectfully: "Sir, do you have any instructions?"
"I've thought about it."
"Um?"
"After arriving at Mianchi, I won't go to Chang'an for now."
"Why?"
"The Prime Minister summoned me, and I will come too.
However, now that the Prime Minister has moved the capital, I want to have a lot of affairs in the court.
And I have no relatives and friends in Chang'an. I went there rashly, and I was not familiar with the place. If I encounter trouble, I am afraid that no one will help me.
Ziyang is loyal and honest, and I also believe it deeply.
So I want to go with Ziyang to rest in Mianchi first. When Ziyang returns to Chang'an, I will go with me. I believe the Prime Minister will not blame him."
"this……"
"Don't Ziyang want to?"
Human beings are traitorous, ghosts are sloppy, and this is generally the case.
Cai Yong has wasted more than ten years, so how could he not understand this principle?
He is honest and sometimes even naive, but it does not mean that he is a fool. On the contrary, Cai Yong is very smart, even when he was an official in the court more than ten years ago, he was not a fool. However, he was a little scholarly in his bones. In addition, the disaster of the Party and the corruption was fierce back then. As a scholar, Cai Yong naturally had to make his position, so he fought fiercely with the eunuchs.
More than ten years have passed, and many things have become clear.
Thinking back to the beginning, those so-called best friends showed strong support when they saw him stand up.
But after he was in trouble, he only saw the people who were hurt, but no one was told about it. Later, he went to Jiangdong and took refuge in his students' home. At that time, even his in-laws, the Hedong Wei family, was unwilling to help.
Cai Yong was actually worried about being forced to come this time.
If Dong Zhuo hadn't threatened him with his clan's lives, he might not have bowed his head to Dong Zhuo.
That's right, when he arrived in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo would definitely treat him as a guest of honor.
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 also has a daughter, so he must be safer and it is best to find someone to rely on.
But he really has no friends in Chang'an City.
It was at this moment that he met Ding Chen, which made his eyes lit up.
He also knew Cao Cao. Although his understanding of Cao Cao was still the case when Cao Cao was the Northern Territory of Luoyang, and appointed five-color sticks to kill Jian Shu, and then assassinated Zhang Rang, he knew that he was a person who could rely on.
In order to protect his sister and nephew, Ding Chen had to join Dong Zhuo's army, which is understandable.
When he was at Arc descendant, Cai Yong observed Ding Chen more carefully.
After confirming that Ding Chen was not a lustful person and had no bad intentions towards his precious daughter, he finally made a decision.
Ding Chen made military achievements in Xingyang.
When it was at Arc de Punishment, both Liangzhou Army and Bingzhou Army also held respect for Ding Chen.
Even the Lu Bu, who was overly high, was very polite to Ding Chen. This shows that Ding Chen already had enough strength.
With his help, I think life in Chang'an will not be too difficult!
Ding Chen did not expect Cai Yong to have such deep considerations. He was forced by Cai Yong. He hurriedly said, "What do you say? You are willing to stay with me to guard Mianchi. I can't ask for it. However, the noise in the military camp is noisy, and I am worried that it will disturb Mr.'s tranquility."
"Don't disturb, don't disturb!"
Cai Yong laughed and said, "Ziyang can arrange a residence for me next to the military camp, so that it will not affect Ziyang."
have to!
The old man seems to be obsessed with him!
Ding Chen is not disgusted with Cai Yong.
This old man is not like the past. The old scholars he met when he followed Cao Cao, each holding airs and feeling very bored.
Cai Yong is very funny and talks casually.
At least, the old man has never put on any airs in front of Ding Chen in the past ten days, which makes Ding Chen feel very comfortable.
"Since the sir has made such a decision, the boy cannot ask for it."
He chatted with Cai Yong for a while before urging the horse to leave.
"Father, why should I follow him?"
Cai Yan sat aside, showing dissatisfaction.
Cai Yong smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong with following him?"
Dong Zhuo is a tiger and wolf nature. He is now old and unable to fight with him. With Ding Ziyang's protection, you and I can also be less trouble in Chang'an."
"By him?"
Cai Yan was a little unbelievable.
Cai Yong said: "Zhao Ji, don't underestimate him. Not to mention that he made military achievements before, he only looked at the soldiers and horses he accompanied, all of whom were arrogant and powerful, but he followed him with orders. And the soldiers and horses who passed by automatically retreated and did not dare to fight with him, so he knew that he had some tricks. Zhao Ji, now is different from the past. Remember, after arriving in Chang'an, he was full of knowledge and could not compare to the three-foot green breeze.
As long as Ding Ziyang is here, no one will come to cause trouble."
A full of knowledge, can't compare to a three-foot blue edge?
After hearing Cai Yong's words, Cai Yan couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Perhaps, this is the sorrow of scholars... Even if there are thousands of reasons in front of swords, it is impossible to explain clearly.
But maybe my father said it well!
With that lazy guy here, maybe the trip to Chang'an wouldn't be as difficult as you imagined...
Thinking of this, Cai Yan suddenly became a little curious about Ding Chen.
That night, Ding Chen and his group camped in Xin'an.
The new guard general Wei Yue was born in the Liangzhou Army, so he was very polite to Ding Chen.
Maybe he heard that Ding Chen had accepted Li Ru's recruitment. To a certain extent, Ding Chen had entered the senior management of the Liangzhou Army.
In addition, Ding Chen made great contributions in Xingyang and captured the prefect of Yingchuan alive.
It is conceivable that after arriving in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo will definitely reward him... Haven't you seen that this time, Dong Zhuo specially sent someone to escort Mrs. Ding and Cao Ang. The protection along the way was very comprehensive, which further showed that Dong Zhuo attached great importance to Ding Chen.
Ding Chen naturally did not refuse Wei Yue's show of kindness.
He attended the banquet set up by Wei Yue that night and did not return to the camp until midnight.
"What's the news in Luoyang?"
After he sat down, he took a towel from Pang De and applied it to his face... Those Liangzhou people can really drink it!
"Just just got the news, the coalition of princes has arrived in Luoyang.
Sun Jian entered Luoyang City, and Cao Cao..."
Gao Shun said this, he was a little hesitant.
Ding Chen suddenly opened his eyes, took away the wipes, and sat upright.
"What's wrong with brother?"
Chapter completed!
