Yuan Hui was criticized by Shi Sun Rui, and he was speechless, and he could not say a word he had prepared.
Shi Sunrui didn't bother him much, and said bluntly, when you come, you should know where the vanguard of the army has arrived, so you don't have to waste time here. Shi Xie wants to fight, so you go back and guard the city with him.
Shi Xie wanted to surrender, so he asked him to speed up and leave the city to surrender before our army arrived.
After the siege of the city, there was no such thing as surrender. I will let you see how the Northern Army attacked the city and how the court treated the prisoners.
Yuan Hui did not dare to neglect and went back in a mess.
Halfway through, he met the sound camp who was rushing to the road. He accidentally heard that the chief of the sound camp was Xun Yan, and immediately felt enlightened and asked Xun Yan to meet.
Xun Yan came soon, wearing military uniform and striding heavily.
Yuan Hui didn't recognize him at once, thinking that it was the soldiers who came to invite him into the camp. When Xun Yan walked in front of him, he could still see a little. When Xun Yan bowed and reported to his house, he was stunned.
"Is it really Xun Xiuruo, Yingchuan?"
Xun Yan smiled. "I am not a famous scholar, so no one will pretend to be."
Yuan Hui was still very surprised. As Xun Yu's brother, Xun Yan's participation in the army had already made him feel incredible. He never expected that Xun Yan would march in armor like a martial artist. Even if there were horses to transport, this iron armor was quite tiring.
of.
After being surprised, Yuan Hui explained his purpose and hoped that Xun Yan would be able to be compatible.
Xun Yan raised his head and looked at the distance. "All I can do is to slow down the speed of advancement, and I will give you two more days."
Yuan Hui was very dissatisfied. "Xu Ruo also thinks Shi Weiyan should surrender?"
Xun Yan laughed silently. "He doesn't surrender, but he wants to be king? Jiaozhou was originally the Jiaozhou of the Han Dynasty. Their brothers took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and ruled one side, which was no longer what the ministers should do. When the Central Plains were pacified, he did not pay tribute.
, and he didn't write a letter to praise his sanctions. Do you really think that Jiaozhou belongs to their scholars?"
Yuan Hui shook his hand repeatedly. "If the words are too heavy, Shi Weiyan will always be indifferent to ministers. It's just that Jiaozhou is far away and has no news with the Central Plains. I heard that the emperor is mean and has strong people's fields, so..."
Xun Yan looked at Yuan Hui and raised his lips slightly. "This is not Shi Weiyan's attitude, but your attitude, right?"
Yuan Hui twitched his cheeks and looked straight at Xun Yan. "Isn't it?"
Xun Yan thought for a while and breathed a sigh of relief. "Have you heard of the Hanyang Prefect Yang Xiu?"
"I know, the son of the Hongnong Yang family, and the current son of the Situ Yang Gong, are famous all over the world, and no one knows."
"Ten years ago, he first met the emperor in Huayin, and the emperor gave him a question."
Yuan Hui shook his head. "I hope to hear the details."
Xun Yan told the question again.
The emperor's question is now well known to the scholars and ladies of the Central Plains, but there has been no standard answer, and everyone has their own understanding. It is precisely because of this that this question is even more fascinating.
After Xun Yan finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Hui. "Why do you think the six kingdoms cannot restore the country after it is? Instead, the Gao Emperor, who was born in the wild, won the world?"
Yuan Hui remained silent.
Xun Yan patted Yuan Hui on the shoulder. "You are also a Confucian scholar, so you should know that the way of a saint is based on benevolence. A benevolent loves people not only to scholars but also to everyone. The emperor advocates that all the people are scholars and treat them equally, which is great benevolence.
.He was able to pacify the world within ten years because he followed the Tao and won the hearts of the people. If you want to go against the trend, you can only be like the children of the six countries, and there will be no other possibility."
Yuan Hui's face was pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Go back and tell Shixie not to have any delusions. He has no better choice except surrender."
Yuan Hui swallowed. "After surrender, the court..."
Xun Yan looked at Yuan Hui and chuckled. "Does he deserve to kill more than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu?"
"Just...not dead?"
"The rest depends on himself." Xun Yan said earnestly: "If you want to be an official, you have to see if he has the ability. What the great man now lacks the most is talent, especially if he reads a few books.
The scholar who thought the great way was in hand."
——
After seeing off Yuan Hui, Xun Yan discussed with Taishi Ci for a while, slowed down the marching speed, and notified the others.
Of course, I did not forget Shi Sun Rui.
The generals also knew that Shi Xie's surrender was the best result. Even if they were good at fighting, there would be casualties in the attack. If they could surrender without fighting, of course they would not be able to seek it.
Two days later, Yuan Hui asked to see Shi Sun Rui again and brought Shi Xie's letter of surrender.
This time, Shi Sun Rui welcomed Yuan Hui very enthusiastically and invited him to the curtain.
Yuan Hui agreed with a little refusal, and took advantage of the situation to introduce some scholars who had taken refuge here, including Liu Xi, Xue Zong, Cheng Bing and others. The scholar Sun Rui asked about the situation one by one, knowing that these were all devoted to learning.
The scholar, relying on Shi Xie, was just asking for food and clothing, and there was no such thing as a disgrace, so he agreed.
He asked Yuan Hui to inform everyone that he was planning to implement the new policy in Jiaoshan, build schools and seal houses, and they were willing to stay, which was of course better. If they miss their hometown and want to go back, they could also return with the army.
If he wants to be an official, he can also recommend it to the court. However, the court employs people and emphasizes practical learning. Apart from the school, he can only go to Yinfang to do proofreading books, and there is no good choice.
In short, understanding the classics and becoming an official has become a past, so don’t think about it anymore.
Yuan Hui was a little discouraged, but he could do nothing.
——
On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, Liu Xie received a document from Shi Sun Rui.
Shi Xie finally surrendered without any conditions.
Of course, Shi Sun Rui denied some people and recommended some people, which was considered to have properly placed the relevant personnel and controlled possible resistance to the smallest range.
Before this, Liu Xie had received a memorial from Shi Sun Rui, arranging Wang Ling as the lieutenant of Yizhou County and Huangfu Jianshou as the lieutenant of Yongchang. At that time, he had not understood Shi Sun Rui's intention and saw the good news.
He had reacted.
Shi Sun Rui had already prepared to recruit Shi Xie, and knew that Shi Xie had no other choice and there was no suspense in the battle of Dragon Edge, so he arranged Huangfu Jianshou and Wang Ling early.
Huangfu Song killed Dong Zhuo's family, Wang Yunze died at the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si. These two people were not easy to get along with Dong Zhuo's old subordinates who are in the court today, so they were arranged in the southern part of Yizhou to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
It's a good choice.
Although he had some opinions on Shi Sun Rui's first decree and then report, there was no better way to think about it, and Liu Xie agreed.
He immediately issued an edict, asking Shi Sun Rui to return to the court, and escorted Shi Xie's brothers to the place to live, waiting for processing. As for the others, he almost arranged according to Shi Sun Rui's request, without changing a word.
The surrender of the Shixie brothers marked the pacification of Jiaozhou and the return to the embrace of the court. The once divided Han Dynasty finally restored unification, the once chaotic times also came, and a new era was coming.
Liu Xie ordered to inform the whole country and celebrate with the people.
