Chapter 473 I Can't Not Trust You, Xun Gongda
To Jia Xu's question, Liu Bei nodded directly, very frankly.

"Yes."

Liu Bei nodded: "I was able to come to Luoyang because I was ready for a decisive battle with Yuan and He. This battle is a battle that cannot be lost. This matter is too important. I can't let half-hearted people know."

"Gongda... he shouldn't be half-hearted."

Jia Xu said in a low voice: "Through getting along with him every day, I can feel that he is a single-minded person and he is loyal to you. In this matter, I don't think he will do anything bad. .”

"He is, but the Xun family is definitely not."

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Looking at the current situation, although the Xun family has always stood with my teacher and has a quarrel with the Yuan family, it is just a quarrel and it is not irreparable.

Not only me, but other scholars will not believe that the Xun family will definitely follow me, it is just the following of two clansmen. Since there is such an impression, the Xun family will definitely be wooed by the Yuan family. How can I teach others? With handle? "

"Your Majesty, the Xun family..."

"The Xun family is not a family that went all the way to black."

Liu Bei sneered and said: "Back then, they would rather marry Tang Heng, the Zhongchang servant, than to preserve their own glory and wealth, so it can be seen that this family is a family that pays attention to change, a family that is long-sleeved and good at dancing.

For such a family, without any guarantee, I really can't trust them. Even if there is any guarantee, this family will change their minds. I really can't believe it and can't conspire with it. "

"Maybe the big clan has always been like this."

Jia Xu slowly said: "They have never done anything single-minded. They have always been half-hearted. It is really difficult to ask them to be single-minded. For the big clan, survival is the most important thing. Nothing is more important than survival.

In their view, it is not worth sacrificing one or two clan members, or one or two branches, for the sake of survival. What is ridiculous is that this is the reason why they look down on us Liangzhou people the most, but it is what they themselves have been doing all the time. of. "

"That's why I hate these big families who are one-sided on the surface and another on the back."

Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu, smiled lightly and said, "Wen He, you don't seem to mean that. By saying that, do you want me to use this as an opportunity to completely accept Gong Da's heart?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Jia Xu chuckled and said: "You also said that the big clan will not be single-minded, but individuals may be able to. Since ancient times, there are many officials of the big clan who died for the king, and there are always some differences between people.

Xun Gongda looks clumsy and ingenious, he is unparalleled, and has quick wit. Even I think he is very talented. If you can get all his loyalty, it will be of great help to your great cause. Important, but Xun Gongda is even more important. "

Liu Bei stood up and paced the room for a while, thinking about Jia Xu's suggestion.

Thinking about what Xun You has done since he joined him, little by little, Liu Bei made up his mind, then walked up to Jia Xu, and reached out to hold Jia Xu's hand.

"Compared to Xun Gongda and Wen He, you are the most important person to me. You have helped me a lot."

"It's my honor to be able to serve the Lord."

Jia Xu took a deep breath and said firmly: "I will never refuse anything that is beneficial to the monarch! Even if I go through fire and water, I will not hesitate!"

Jia Xu persuaded Liu Bei.

So at Jia Xu's suggestion, Liu Bei prepared to sing a double reed with Jia Xu.

That night, Jia Xu told Xun You who knew nothing about the private meeting held today, and asked Xun You why he didn't show up at the meeting with a look of surprise.

"A lot of people went to today's meeting. I searched around but didn't find you. I thought you were away on business. I didn't expect you to be here. Then why didn't you go?"

Jia Xu looked surprised and uncertain.

Xun You's complexion suddenly changed at that time, and he became very disturbed, and then even asked Jia Xu if he had done anything wrong, which made Liu Bei unhappy.

"I can't really say that. Think about it carefully. What happened tonight is very important. I thought you would be here, but you're not? Gongda, you have to be careful."

Xun You was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a very anxious mood.

"This...Wenhe, what is the content of tonight's meeting?"

"This...Gongda, I can't say anything. If Junhou didn't tell you, you wouldn't know."

Jia Xu left without giving Xun You a chance to ask further questions.

Xun You was restless all night because of this, and stayed up all night.

Early the next morning, he couldn't bear it anymore, and when he was about to go to Liu Bei to inquire about the situation, suddenly, Liu Bei came directly to Xun You's residence in the barracks.

"Gongda, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so haggard? Did you not rest last night?"

Looking at Xun You's two big dark circles, Liu Bei asked knowingly, pretending to be surprised.

When Xun You saw Liu Bei coming, he was also surprised.

"Junhou, you... why are you here?"

"Oh, I...I have something I want to tell you."

Liu Bei entered Xun You's tent, sat down slowly, and asked, "I held a meeting last night, did you know?"

Xun You was taken aback.

"Junhou, I... I heard that there was such a thing, but I have no idea what was discussed."

"The things discussed in this meeting are very important, and they are about some of our next goals."

Liu Bei stared at Xun You for a while, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "At first, I didn't call you on purpose, but after Wenhe discussed some things with me, I realized that I made a mistake. I shouldn't doubt you, Gongda, I'm sorry."

"Your Majesty, this..."

Xun You was completely stunned, not knowing what Liu Bei meant.

"Gongda, in fact, I had already predicted today's situation as early as in the middle of Sichuan before I took a concubine."

Liu Bei sighed, "Do you know what happened recently? Let me tell you, you will be very surprised."

Afterwards, Liu Bei told Xun You everything that happened recently, and told Xun You some of his next action goals and preparations, and also told Xun You the content of the meeting last night.

Xun You was dumbfounded.

Because the amount of information was too much, he needed some time to calm down, and when he calmed down, Liu Bei reached out and held his hand.

"It's not that I didn't expect these things. I expected this before I came to Luoyang, so I want to make some preparations in advance to increase the number of people I can absolutely trust, so that someone can be trusted and available at important moments." .

So, I started to take concubines, and my greatest expectation was to have a deeper connection with the Xun family, to trust and support each other with the Xun family, I thought, the Xun family must have known about this matter, but they did not reply I.

So I think that the Xun family cannot be trusted. I cannot trust the Xun family in the face of such a crucial event that can determine the survival of all of us. I cannot guarantee whether the Xun family will leak the secret to the Yuan family once they know about it.

Out of such considerations, before, I felt that I could not trust you either. I was not sure whether you would tell Xun Shi after you knew the news, and whether Xun Shi would tell Yuan Shi. In this case, I didn't call you to discuss it together. ,This is my idea.

Afterwards, Wen He woke me up. He told me what you did after you served me. He said that you were so conscientious and loyal. Since you served me, you would never betray me. I You can disbelieve the Xun family, but you cannot but trust you, Xun Gongda. "
