Guanzhong and Qilu are also home to many Confucian classics families. After hearing about the new learning, they all sent their disciples to get in touch with the new learning carefully.
For a time, the threshold between the Yingchuan Chen family and the Hongnong Yang family was almost broken. Countless people with good intentions or ill intentions came and went between the two families, hoping to seek some benefits for themselves.
Especially Yang Biao.
Not long after the Spring Plowing Ceremony, he was found a reason to be promoted to Taiwei again, and served as the Third Duke together with Cao Cao and Zhao Wen.
With this big fish stirring up trouble in Xinxue's pond, naturally not many people bothered to dig deeper into He Yan behind it.
He Yan was very happy and relaxed. He dragged Liu Ye and Guo Jia to fight the landlords in Hewu every day, and he had a great time.
"Marquis Shen, these cards really complement the new learning."
In the pavilion in Hewu, several heaters are arranged in the house, making the spring breeze that is suddenly warm and then cold turn into hot air.
Guo Jia rubbed the cards with his fingertips: "Using the emperor and the queen as playthings will naturally make everyone no longer awe of the emperor and the queen after a long time. It's really a good strategy."
Some things need to be grand, such as the solar eclipse, or the spring plowing ceremony.
But there are other things that need to be moisturized and kept quiet, such as the emperor, such as these playing cards.
The mysterious veil that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has managed for four hundred years is not so easy to pierce. It must be slowly polished using the method of nine shallows and one deep.
He Yan agrees with this, but why are Guo Jia's words so strange?
"What does it mean to use the emperor and the queen as a plaything? You would have been punished decades ago for saying this! It's still the same as punishing the nine tribes!"
"Oh."
Guo Jia played a card with disdain: "If I am punished by the nine tribes, then you should punish the ten tribes!"
Nowadays, the limelight on the new learning issue is focused on Hua Xin, Chen Qun, and Yang Biao, but what is Guo Jia’s identity? Does he know who the real culprit is behind this?
"cut!"
Hearing what Guo Jia said, He Yan didn't care: "No one will believe you if you tell me now! Play your cards right!"
"Oh, four 2s, gone!"
"..."
Throwing down all the cards, He Yan cursed and began to reshuffle the cards.
"Zi Yang, why are you so down today?"
Guo Jia suddenly asked Liu Ye, pointing to the pile of cards and saying, "You didn't play a single card in the last round. Are you trying to trick Marquis Shen?"
Liu Ye finally came to his senses and smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "How dare you?"
"It's just that there have been some changes in my hometown recently, and I feel a little worried."
Guo Jia suddenly realized: "Are you talking about Li Shu?"
As a Huainan native, Liu Ye naturally chose to serve as an official in Lujiang County near his hometown.
At that time, the prefect of Lujiang was Liu Xun, who served under Yuan Shu. He had a large number of soldiers and was extremely powerful in the Jianghuai area. This made Sun Ce, who wanted to sweep across Jiangdong, very afraid.
So after betraying Yuan Shu, Sun Ce set up a scheme to falsely form an alliance with Liu Xun, tricking Liu Xun into sending troops to attack Shangliao City, while he secretly attacked Liu Xun.
Ye.
The current governor of Lujiang, Li Shu, has hints of betraying Sun Quan, and there may be a battle between the two sides in the future.
After all, Lujiang is Liu Ye's hometown, and there are probably many old friends among them. With this war going on, I don't know how many people will die in the war. No wonder Liu Ye is so absent-minded.
He Yan also frowned after hearing this.
Lujiang County is not unimportant to the situation in the south.
If the northern forces occupy Lujiang County, with the Dabie Mountains at their back, they can overlook the entire Jiangdong from a high position.
In fact, Lujiang County can completely control part of the Yangtze River waterway, cutting off the connection between Yangzhou and Jingzhou in the south, and causing the two sides to lose contact.
So He Yan asked: "Fengxiao, is it possible that Sikong had a hand in this Lujiang matter?"
Guo Jia rubbed his chin and thought for a while, with some hesitation in his tone: "When the food comes out this year, Sikong mainly wants to eliminate the rebellious forces in the Lu State. They betrayed Sikong before the Battle of Guandu, surrendered to Yuan Shao, and have been
I haven’t settled accounts with them yet.”
"Secondly, Sikong wanted to send troops to capture Cangting. Cangting is Yuan Shao's only stronghold south of the river. It would be an eyesore if placed there."
After more than a year of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's side was also exhausted, so how could he still have the energy to care about the affairs in the south?
Besides, Yuan Shao was only defeated, not killed.
For some time in the future, Cao Cao's group will definitely focus on stabilizing itself and resisting Yuan Shao in the north. Cao Cao really has no control over what happens in the south.
"That's it."
He Yan was a little reluctant: "But if we capture Lujiang, it will be easier to fight against the Sun family in the future."
"Sun?"
Guo Jia was a little dumbfounded and laughed: "Did Marquis Shen think too far? Besides, if it is time to go south to attack the Sun family, Sikong must have already captured Hebei. Does Marquis Shen think that he will not be able to capture a mere Jiangdong at that time?"
Liu Ye also chuckled next to him, but when he smiled, he noticed that He Yan had a serious face, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
"Filial piety!"
He Yan's expression became serious: "You must never despise the enemy! The Battle of Guandu has only been a few months ago, have you forgotten Yuan Shao's lesson?"
Hearing that He Yan was so serious, Guo Jia also laughed: "I know, I know!"
He Yan also sighed when he saw Guo Jia like this.
The limitations of the times~
Before the future Battle of Chibi, no one believed that the south of the barbarian land could compete with the north.
No one believes that in the next few hundred years, the Han orthodoxy will rely on the dangers of the mountains and rivers in the south to survive.
At this time, saying that the South has the ability to compete with the North is indeed a bit sensational...
Seeing that He Yan was so serious, Guo Jia also wanted to tease He Yan: "You and Sikong's two old lovers are about to run away. Instead of worrying about Sun, you should worry about Guan Yu and Zhao Yun."
Guan Yu?
Zhao Yun?
Although He Yan had already had a premonition in his heart, his heart skipped a beat when he heard Guo Jia say it.
"They're leaving?"
"Well, they both returned the talismans to Sikong."
Guo Jia was surprised: "What? Zhao Yun didn't tell you?"
"..."
He Yan threw down the cards in his hand: "I'm going out!"
When Guo Jia saw He Yan running out, he quickly pulled Liu Ye and ran with him.
"Come on! Go to the theater!"
————————
————————
Guan Yu's mansion.
"Zilong, are you really not going to say goodbye to Marquis Shen?"
Carloads of packed luggage were displayed in front of the mansion. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun had already taken off their armor, and were packing the carriages like ordinary people wearing coarse cloth and dark clothes.
Hearing Guan Yu's inquiry, Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head decisively: "Forget it."
"If I meet Marquis Shen, Marquis Shen might use some other method to force me to stay. In that case, I really won't be able to leave."
Behind everyone's luggage was a large carriage, in which sat Liu Bei's wives and daughters, namely Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi, Liu Yue and Liu Ying.
When Mrs. Gan heard Zhao Yun's voice outside, she couldn't help but lift the small curtain on the side of the carriage and called: "General Zhao."
"lady!"
Mrs. Gan understood the general idea: "During my stay in Xuchang, Marquis Shen took great care of me. Even though I am leaving now, I should come and say thank you."
How could Zhao Yun not understand this? The problem is...
He suspected that with He Yan's temperament, it was really possible to tie him up and prevent him from leaving.
Liu Yue and Liu Ying in the carriage also looked hopeful when they heard Mrs. Gan say this, but Zhao Yun's silence dashed their newly raised hopes.
Liu Yue bit her lip: "General Zhao, Liu Ying also said that Aunt Gan was right, and she herself wanted to thank Marquis Shen."
Liu Ying:(⊙⊙)???
Liu Yue:(*￣︿￣)!!!
Liu Ying:(⊙x⊙;)...
Zhao Yun looked at Mrs. Gan, then at Liu Ying and Liu Yue, and sighed: "Yun is not an ungrateful person, it's just..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice like thunder made Zhao Yun tremble: "Zhao Yun!"
Several people looked at it at the same time and discovered that He Yan's panting figure appeared at the corner of the street.
Behind them are Xu Hu and Xu Bao. The auras of these two people are quite stable.
Guo Jia and Liu Ye at the back almost lost half their lives: "Damn it! He Yan, can't you ride a horse? Do you have to run here?"
He Yan approached Zhao Yun step by step, raised his head when he was in front of Zhao Yun, and looked at Zhao Yun with extremely unfamiliar eyes: "You just plan to leave without saying goodbye?"
Even though he was extremely determined in his heart, Zhao Yun was still a little panicked for no reason when he saw He Yan approaching like this. He couldn't even say anything and could only let his face turn red.
"Marquis Shen."
It was Guan Yu who stepped forward to help Zhao Yun out of the siege.
"Zilong and I both regard you as our eternal bond. You should understand our thoughts."
"Xuan Degong was kind to us. This kindness from Cao Gong was fully repaid during the Battle of Guandu. Now it's time for me to go back."
…
The scene was a little cold for a while, and even Guo Jia and Liu Ye, who were hiding behind to watch the show, felt chilly on their bodies.
"Mainly because I was sweating from running just now, and the wind is blowing now and it's quite cold..."
Guo Jia wrapped up his clothes and made a bet with Liu Ye: "Do you think He Yan will directly let someone detain Zhao Yun?"
Liu Ye was a little doubtful: "Why is Marquis Shen so cruel?"
"If you knew how he captured Zhao Yun in the first place, you wouldn't say that."
Guo Jia stretched out five fingers: "If He Yan takes action, next time we play cards, you will give me five hands of landlords!"
"make a deal!"
The two of them hid secretly behind the broad bodies of Xu Hu and Xu Bao, each sticking out his head, wanting to see how He Yan would make a decision.
When He Yan saw Guan Yu blocking his side, he tilted his head slightly, looked past his tall figure, and turned to look behind him.
Zhao Yun kept his head down with a guilty conscience, while two heads stuck out from the windows on both sides of the carriage, and they were Liu Yue and Liu Ying.
"Crack!"
He Yan's arm slapped Guan Yu's arm heavily, and the cold aura just now disappeared without a trace.
Raising his head slightly, the frost on He Yan's face also disappeared without a trace, and instead turned into a warm and sunny smile: "Just leave, what's the big deal?"
Zhao Yun and Guo Jia looked at He Yan in shock at the same time.
He Yan patted Guan Yu's arm a few more times: "But General Guan and Zilong are not unknown people. There is no need to leave so secretly. I will buy some food and wine to eat and drink before we set off!"
Not allowing Guan Yu to refuse, He Yan turned around and shouted to Xu Hu and Xu Bao: "Go buy some meat, and then go to Sikong Mansion to get a pot of wine. Go quickly."
Seeing that Xu Hu was really going to get the wine, Guo Jia, who had placed a bet, still didn't give up. He quietly leaned into Xu Hu's ear and asked: "Is the wine in Sikong Mansion a secret code for you and He Yan? It's like being addicted to the wine.
Medicine, the kind that makes you unconscious immediately after drinking it?"
Xu Hu tried his best to think with his not very bright mind, and then shook his head decisively.
"Really not?"
For the first time, Guo Jia began to doubt his judgment of He Yan, and was so worried that he scratched his head and scratched his head.
"Fengxiao, remember, five!"
Liu Ye smiled and held out five fingers to signal Guo Jia not to deny it, but Guo Jia obviously still refused to give up.
"I don't believe it! He Yan wouldn't let them leave so easily!"
until……
Eating meat...
Drinking wine...
The carriage is getting further and further away...
Guo Jiacai came to He Yan as if he really accepted his fate: "You really don't want to keep them?"
"What's left to save?"
He Yan looked at Guo Jia strangely: "Anyway, we will see you again in a few years."
"Now they want to return to their master, their husband, and their father. Tell me, what reason should I use to stop them?"
Guo Jia became even more anxious: "Having said that, you are not the kind of person who gives up easily?"
"Who told you I gave up?"
The spring breeze blew across his face, and He Yan's fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves unconsciously.
"As long as you pacify the north as soon as possible and send your troops south, I want to see where you are going!"
Shu land?
Or Jiaozhou?
He Yan turned around and never looked back.
"Next time I catch you, if you still dare to run away, I will really break your legs!"
…………
"Zilong? What's wrong?"
The carriage bumped along the road, and Guan Yu poked Zhao Yun beside him: "We are going to see Duke Xuande soon, shouldn't you be happy?"
Only then did Zhao Yun's dilated pupils regain some energy, and he suddenly asked Guan Yu: "He actually didn't leave me?"
"Um?"
The joy on Guan Yu's face suddenly disappeared, he drove the carriage in a muffled voice and stopped talking.
At this moment, a group of vehicles came towards them, passing Guan Yu and Zhao Yun head on.
In the motorcade, there were two young scholars who were looking at Guan Yu and Zhao Yun curiously.
One of the ugly-looking scholars exclaimed: "Yuanzhi, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Central Plains. I see that the two cart drivers just now are full of energy and blood, and they are full of gods. They are definitely not mediocre!"
Another scholar with a sword on his waist took one look and stopped looking: "Shi Yuan, you should be careful when approaching Xuchang. Don't stare at others, so as not to cause any misunderstanding."
"Haha, Yuan Zhi, I think you are worrying too much!"
These two scholars were Xu Shu and Pang Tong who came all the way from Jingzhou.
There are two more chapters in the evening, but they will be a little later. We have Xiaoyang people here again. We are lining up for nucleic acid ing. I don’t know what time it will be when I finish.
