Chapter 1248 Return to Unity

Yuan Hui was severely criticized by Shi Sun Rui, and he was speechless, unable to say a word of the prepared speech.

Shi Sunrui didn't bother him too much, and said bluntly, when you come, you should know where the forward of the army is, so you don't need to waste time with me.Shi Xie wants to fight, so you go back and defend the city with him.Shi Xie wants to surrender, so please hurry up and leave the city to surrender before our army arrives.

After the siege, there is no such thing as surrender. I will let you see how the Northern Army attacked the city and how the imperial court treated the prisoners.

Yuan Hui didn't dare to neglect, and went back in disgrace.

On the way, he ran into Shesheng Ying who was on his way, and accidentally heard that the long history of Shesheng Ying was Xun Yan, so he suddenly became energetic and asked Xun Yan to meet.

Xun Yan soon arrived, dressed in military uniform, striding forward.

Yuan Hui didn't recognize him all at once, and thought it was a soldier who had come to invite him into the camp, but when Xun Yan walked up to him, he vaguely saw what he looked like.When Xun Yan bowed his hand and saluted, and reported himself as his family, he was stunned.

"You are really Yingchuan Xun Xiuruo?"

Xun Yan smiled. "I'm not a celebrity, and no one will pretend to be."

Yuan Hui was still surprised.As Xun Yu's brother, Xun Yan's joining the army already made him feel unbelievable. He never expected that Xun Yan would march in armor like a warrior.Even with a horse for transportation, this armor is quite tiring.

After being surprised, Yuan Hui explained his intention of coming, hoping that Xun Yan would be accommodating.

Xun Yan raised his head and glanced into the distance. "All I can do is to slow down the march and give you two more days."

Yuan Hui was very dissatisfied. "Xiu Ruo also thinks that Shi Weiyan should surrender?"

Xun Yan laughed silently. "If he doesn't surrender, he still wants to be king? Jiaozhou was originally the Jiaozhou of the great Han. Their brothers took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to separate one side, which is no longer what a minister should do. When the Central Plains was pacified, he neither paid tribute nor wrote a letter to be a minister. Really. Do you think Jiaozhou belongs to their scholar family?"

Yuan Hui waved his hands again and again. "Xiu Ruo is serious, Shi Weiyan has never meant to be a minister. It's just that Jiaozhou is far away, and there is no news from the Central Plains. I heard that the emperor is mean and strengthens the people's fields. That's why..."

Xun Yan looked at Yuan Hui, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. "This is not Shi Weiyan's attitude, but yours, right?"

Yuan Hui's cheeks twitched, and he looked directly at Xun Yan. "Is not it?"

Xun Yan thought for a while and took a breath. "Have you heard of Yang Xiu, the prefect of Hanyang?"

"I know, Hongnong Yang's son, the current son of Situ Yang, is famous all over the world, no one knows."

"Ten years ago, when he first met the emperor in Huayin, the emperor asked him a question."

Yuan Hui shook his head. "Appreciate further details."

Xun Yan said the question again.

The emperor's question is now a well-known anecdote among the literati in the Central Plains, but there has never been a standard answer, and everyone has their own understanding.It is for this reason that this question is all the more fascinating.

After Xun Yan finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Hui. "Why do you think the Six Kingdoms can't be restored after the Six Kingdoms, but the Gao Emperor who came from a reckless family won the world?"

Yuan Hui remained silent.

Xun Yan patted Yuan Hui on the shoulder. "You are also a student of Confucianism. You should know that the way of a sage is based on benevolence. A benevolent man loves others not only for scholars and bureaucrats, but also for everyone. The emperor advocates that all people are all scholars and treat all people equally. This is great benevolence. He can calm down within ten years. The world, it is precisely because you have followed the Tao that you have won the hearts of the people. If you want to go against the trend, you can only be the same as the children of the Six Kingdoms, there will be no other possibility."

Yuan Hui's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Go back and tell Shi Xie not to have any delusions. He has no better choice than surrender."

Yuan Hui swallowed. "After the surrender, the court..."

Xun Yan looked at Yuan Hui and chuckled. "Could it be that he should be killed more than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu?"

"Just...not dead?"

"Others, it's up to him." Xun Yanyu said earnestly: "If you want to be an official, it depends on whether he has the ability. Nowadays, the most important thing for a big man is talents, especially those who have read a few books. A scholar who thinks the Tao is in his hands."

-

Sending Yuan Hui away, Xun Yan discussed with Tai Shici, slowed down the marching speed, and informed the others.

Of course, Sun Rui was not forgotten.

The generals also knew that Shi Xie's surrender was the best result.No matter how good they are at fighting, there will be casualties in the siege.If you can surrender without a fight, of course you can't ask for it.

Two days later, Yuan Hui asked to see Shi Sun Rui again, and brought Shi Xie's letter of surrender.

This time, Shi Sunrui received Yuan Hui very warmly and invited him to enter the scene.

Yuan Hui agreed after a short refusal, and took advantage of the opportunity to introduce some scholars and adults from the Central Plains who took refuge here, including Liu Xi, Xue Zong, Cheng Bing and others.Shi Sunrui asked about the situation one by one, knowing that these were scholars who devoted themselves to learning, relying on Shi Xie was just asking for food and clothing, and there was nothing disrespectful about it, so he agreed.

He asked Yuan Hui to inform everyone that he was going to implement the New Deal in Jiaozhi, build a school and a printing workshop, and it would be better if they were willing to stay.If you miss your hometown and want to go back, you can also return with the army.

If he wants to be an official, he can also recommend it to the court.However, the imperial court paid attention to practical learning, and those who only mastered classics could only go to Yinfang to do school books, and there was no good choice.

In short, passing the classics and becoming an official is a thing of the past, don't think about it anymore.

Yuan Hui was somewhat frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

-

In the ninth year of Jian'an, on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Xie received a letter of victory from Shi Sun Rui.

Shi Xie finally surrendered without any conditions.

Of course, in addition to some people, Shisun Ruipi also recommended some people, which can be regarded as a proper arrangement for the relevant people, and controlled possible resistance to the smallest range.

Prior to this, Liu Xie had received a letter from scholar Sun Rui, arranging Wang Ling as Yizhou County Captain and Huangfu Jianshou as Yongchang Captain.At that time, he didn't understand Shi Sun Rui's intentions, but when he saw the good news, he finally realized it.

Shi Sunrui had already made preparations to recruit Shi Xie, and knew that Shi Xie had no other choice, and the battle of Longbian was no suspense, so Huangfu Jianshou and Wang Ling were arranged early.

Huangfu Song killed Dong Zhuo's family, while Wang Yun died at the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si. These two men were not easy to get along with Dong Zhuo's old troops who are now in power. They were arranged in the south of Yizhou to avoid unnecessary conflicts and It is a good choice.

Although I have some opinions on Shi Sun Rui's killing first and playing later, but after thinking about it, there is no better way, so Liu Xie acquiesced.

He immediately issued an edict to let Shi Sunrui's team return to the court, and escorted Shi Xie's brothers to Xingzai to wait for processing.As for the others, he arranged almost according to Shi Sun Rui's request without changing a single word.

The surrender of the Shixie brothers marked the pacification of Jiaozhou and the return to the embrace of the imperial court. The once-divided Han Dynasty was finally restored to unity.

Liu Xie ordered to inform the whole country and celebrate with the people.
