Xun Yu quietly left Hedong and did not even inform most of the officials in the prefect's office.
He knew very well that his departure would cause a lot of speculation and a lot of uneasiness. At that time, no matter if someone stopped him or saw him off, it would be difficult to deal with.
He hopes to leave quietly, not to trigger any mass incidents, and to keep the impact of this incident within a limited range as much as possible.
He thought that the emperor thought so too.
Knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, rather than causing unrest.
Mrs. Tang is one of the few insiders.
She needs to ask the emperor first, and choose the address of Xinyinfang in Henan, and then move. It will take at least three or four months to go through many procedures.
But she didn't want to wait, so she gave herself a vacation, went back to Yingchuan to visit relatives, and went to Henan to choose a location.
She and Xun Yu met at the Dayang Ferry Crossing, crossed the Yellow River together, and entered Hongnong.
Xun Yu's quiet departure quickly caused uneasiness among the Anyi clan. In addition, the publicity on the achievements of Jizhou County and the country on the mansion report, they could easily guess the reason for Xun Yu's departure and felt a hint of chill.
Obviously, the emperor was very dissatisfied with the situation in Hedong.
The new and old hatreds are combined together, and transferring Xun Yu is only the first step. It is inevitable that the situation of forced progress will be deprived of even the title of a temporary capital.
Chang'an has recovered the best and has all the conditions to become a capital.
Some people began to inquire who the next prefect was, while some people were in contact to see if they were to take the initiative to give up their land, surrender to the court, or to organize their forces and resist to the end.
To them, Xun Yu is just a passerby, and interests are eternal.
——
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xun Yu rushed to Luoyang.
The former Henan Yin Xiahou Dun came to greet him, and Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others were accompanied by him.
They are all old acquaintances, but they are completely different.
Xiahou Dun’s task was to hand over official affairs and did not talk about any private matters.
Liu Biao's face was not very good and he was worried. He saw that he had a lot of things to say to Xun Yu, but before he could speak, he was squeezed aside by Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was very excited and his face was blushed.
"Xun Wenruo, I didn't expect that we will work together in the same city again." He reached out to Luoyang City in the distance. "Look, it's been a few years, and it's still the same, and there's no change at all."
Xiahou Dun and Liu Biao's face suddenly became very ugly.
Xun Yu sighed. "Why did I hear that Luoyang City has not changed? It is because you are not allowed to return home to renovate your old houses."
"Don't talk nonsense." Yuan Shu said seriously: "This is not my responsibility, it is those who paint and don't want to work. Look at how fast they painted my old house in Yuan. Now, what about?
How many have you painted in a month? How can you renovate it if you don’t finish painting? It’s like healing. If you bandage the wound before you can see it clearly, isn’t that a quack doctor?”
Xun Yu interrupted Yuan Shu, exchanged a few more greetings with the others, then got into the car with Liu Biao and drove towards Luoyang City.
Putting down the curtains, the two of them sat opposite each other, and then smiled bitterly at the same time.
"Wen Ruo, was it unexpected?"
"There's a little bit." Xun Yu said softly: "The emperor seemed to suddenly become anxious. I don't know if the achievements of Jizhou were too good or the moral and political situation in Bohai were not satisfactory."
Liu Biao stroked his beard and shook his head. "Maybe none."
“None of them?”
"The situation in the Western Regions may develop faster than expected."
Xun Yu was stunned and his face changed slightly. He received a letter from Xun Yun not long ago, knowing that he had reconciled with Ke Bi Neng, but he didn't know what changes were happening in the Western Regions.
However, he believed in Liu Biao, and Liu Biao's son Liu Cong was by the emperor's side as a man.
"What do you mean is that the emperor is in a hurry to travel to the field, is he trying to expedition the west as soon as possible?"
Liu Biao nodded, his eyes even more worried. "Thousand miles of the Western Regions are not the northern part of the Mo River. How much money and food is needed? Even if all counties and states in the Han Dynasty can be like Zhao, they can't afford such losses. Is it just...
…”
"Brother Jingsheng, be careful of his words." Xun Yu's face changed and he stopped shouting.
Liu Biao glanced at Xun Yu, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Do you still remember the astronomical phenomena before the Battle of Huayin?"
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"At that time, we all thought that the northwest of the celestial phenomena meant Liangzhou. Now it seems that we may have been wrong. But there is one thing, that's fine." Liu Biao stroked his beard and said quietly: "The dragon fights in the wild,
Its blood is black and yellow."
Xun Yu frowned even harder, and his heartbeat accelerated a little.
If the emperor was eager to advance the field and was really for the Western Expedition, then the matter would be much more serious than he thought. As Liu Biao said, there were too many preparations to make in the battle of thousands of miles, and it would not be solved within a few years.
.
Xiaowu still needs to accumulate seventy years to attack the Huns. How could the emperor prepare for the Western Regions in three to five years?
Also, why didn’t Xun Yun mention a word?
Does he also hope that the emperor will expedition the West as soon as possible and do not want anyone to stop him?
As expected, he was still too young and eager to make contributions. He didn't even think about the big event of the Western Expedition. He thought that the emperor could just bring thousands of cavalry.
Seeing that Liu Biao was about to speak again, Xun Yu waved his hand and interrupted Liu Biao.
He really didn't want to hear what Liu Biao said anymore.
He knew Liu Biao, knew that Liu Biao was dissatisfied with the status quo, and even regretted his original sanctions. Whether the news he said was reliable was questionable.
After knowing this news, he could directly ask the emperor for confirmation without listening to Liu Biao's speculation.
"Why is the drawing of Luoyang scroll so slow?"
Liu Biao was stunned, with a little embarrassed expression. He looked out guiltily and lowered his voice.
"Wenruo, you haven't lived in Luoyang. Do you know how many over-the-counter houses there are in Luoyang? If you really want to draw a picture of it, how many people will be as disgraced as the Yuan family in Runan?"
He paused and added, "Not everyone can be as shameless as Yuan Gaolu."
Xun Yu smiled bitterly. "Do you think it's possible to drag it over?"
"Maybe." Liu Biao raised his eyebrows. "The Western Regions are so far away, maybe it will take five years, ten years, maybe..."
Xun Yu's eyes turned cold and he glared at Liu Biao.
Liu Biao closed his mouth awkwardly and did not dare to continue talking.
The two were silent all the way until the Yin of Henan Province. Xun Yu got out of the car first, shook his clothes, and turned to look at Liu Biao who had gotten off the car accidentally.
"It's better to complete the Luoyang picture scroll as soon as possible. Jizhou has been pacified, and the emperor may move to Luoyang immediately. Do you don't want him to arrange this matter in person, right?"
Liu Biao's cheeks twitched, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He responded without comment, pulled the car door, and knocked heavily on the wall of the car.
The coachman threw out a loud whip flower, the carriage restarted and ran away.
Yuan Shu came over, looked at the back of the carriage, and smiled. "Did that old thief still refuse to accept his fate and want to pull you into the gang?"
Xun Yu looked at Yuan Shu. "Do you accept your fate?"
Yuan Shu had a tampered with his neck and spread his hands. "Of course I accept my fate. Although I am not a good person, I can still be clear about who can be provoked and who can't be provoked. I have been rampant in Luoyang City for so many years, and I have always robbed him.
