People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 250 Xun You

There is no doubt that Xun You must be a great talent, but great talents are all strong horses, and it is extremely difficult to tame them.

Li Yao knew that he had always been underestimated by scholars because of his background, if he wanted to subdue Xun You, he would inevitably have to use some means.

But Li Yao didn't think that he was smarter than Xun You. Fortunately, there was no need for fair competition between the two of them.

Using one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, finding the opponent's weakness, and then attacking them hard, this is Li Yao's advantage.

Soon after, Xun You's residence in Chang'an was not a mansion compound, but an ordinary small courtyard, which looked quite ordinary.

A large number of soldiers surrounded them, first searched the surrounding area, and then stood guard on the spot.

It wasn't until this time that Li Yao actually appeared, and immediately sent someone to knock on the door.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The gate opened, and Xun You came out to greet him personally. When he saw Li Yao and the soldiers beside him, he was not surprised or afraid, and saluted and said:

"Xun You, a grassroots man, pays his respects to the general."

Li Yao smiled when he heard this, and looked up and down at Xun You. This person's face was quite simple and honest, and he didn't look very clever, but who would have thought that after taking refuge in Cao Cao, he was full of tricks, flexible and changeable, and he was not as honest as he appeared on the surface.

Sure enough, really smart people are very good at hiding themselves. They look ordinary on the surface, but they actually have gaps in their chests.

Then Li Yaocai said:

"Sir, you are calm. Are you afraid that I am here to get you?"

When Xun You heard this, he looked around again. There were soldiers nearby and cavalry in the distance. He couldn't help but think to himself:

"This kind of battle came to take me, I am so good and capable, I have this treatment..."

Xun You then explained:
"If you want to take me, you only need to send two prison guards, and there is really no need for the general to lead the troops himself."

This is the gap between the two, their identities and status are like clouds and mud. If they make good use of it, it is not impossible to subdue Xun You.

Li Yao nodded and said:

"Then I'm here, sir, you haven't invited me in for a sit down!"

Xun You knew that he would not be able to escape the current situation and could only adapt accordingly, so he turned sideways and said:

"General, please come in."

Li Yao walked in with big strides, as if returning to his own home, very natural, without seeing anything outside.

Walking into the house, sitting on the main seat, completely taking the initiative, looked at Xun You and said:
"I checked the imperial archives and thought that Mr. is a great talent, so I came here to conscript. I don't care about your past, you don't care about my background, assist the emperor, and reorganize the rivers and mountains!"

Hearing this, Xun You subconsciously shied away, putting aside his loyalty to the Han Dynasty. He was a Kanto scholar, and there was indeed a prejudice, or a stereotype, for Li Yao, a Kansai warrior. After all, the previous Dong Zhuo was also from Liangzhou, and then he died.

Xun You was very embarrassed and said:
"The grassroots are poorly educated. They can only serve as small officials, and it is difficult to take on big responsibilities. I hope the general will hire another wise man."

Such a simple and honest appearance, such sincere words, if Li Yao didn't know the history, he might have been fooled by him.

But how could Li Yao let him go, he was Xun You, even if he didn't offer a plan, he would keep him.

So Li Yao said directly:

"I am optimistic about you, even if you can only be a small official, I will admit it, sir will report tomorrow, watch my words and deeds, and see how I can assist the emperor and reorganize the rivers and mountains..."

At this time, Li Yaotu looked at him poorly and said:

"Even if you are only a minor official, sir, you have to work hard. As far as I know, in your Xun family, some voted for Yuan Shao, and some voted for Cao Cao. Bet separately. This is the way for the family to survive. However, if there is no Xun family in the court. Wait until I go east to the Central Plains and wipe out the gang of thieves, your Xun family will be reduced to dust from now on!"

Xun You's pupils shrank when he heard the words. Li Yao's words directly revealed the most ruthless side of the aristocratic family. If it comes time to make a choice, the clan will have a main family and a sub-family. The main family is in the light, and the sub-family is in the dark.

Don't look at some surnames that change back and forth, but according to the genealogy tracing, they are all one ancestor.

And Li Yao saw that Xun You stopped talking, and he didn't continue to persecute him. A smart person can understand it at a glance. Instead of persuading him, it's better to wait for him to figure it out.

So Li Yao stood up, looked at Xun You and said calmly:
"Sir, you have to think about it carefully, but remember to come and report tomorrow!"

After speaking, Li Yao simply left.

At this moment, Xun You turned around, looked at Li Yao's back, cupped his hands and said loudly:
"As ordered!"

Hearing this, Li Yao paused, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then he continued to stride out.

Li Yao knew that this matter was basically done, as long as he could keep Xun You by his side, he would not leave easily as he gradually conquered the world. If he was finally defeated and died, whether Xun You went or stayed, life or death had nothing to do with him.

Loyalty, Li Yao doesn't need the people under his command to be completely loyal to him, this thing is too mysterious, like Li Jue, Guo Si... Li Ru, Jia Xu...they are somewhat loyal to him, as long as they can be used by him.

After leaving Xun You's residence, Li Yao went back to his own mansion and kept checking the files. Xun You was a pleasant surprise. If there were more unexpected surprises, it would be great for him.

But at this moment, a soldier came in to salute and said:

"General, there is a letter from Liangzhou!"

Li Yao was surprised and delighted when he heard the words, got up quickly, and said directly:

"Give me the letter!"

After receiving the letter, it was a silk script. Compared with paper and bamboo slips, silk scripts are light and not easily damaged, so important letters are still written on silk.

When he opened the letter and saw the rough but familiar handwriting on it, Li Yao knew that it was written by Li Wenhou to himself.

After reading it, Li Yao let out a long breath, and now he couldn't laugh or cry, because according to the letter, my father was fighting against the ancient Qiang tribe outside the Great Wall, so he couldn't immediately bring troops to Guanzhong to help.

Immediately he said to himself:

"Let me retreat to Liangzhou immediately when I encounter danger. There is no danger now, but my father can't come here, and I need to readjust my strategy..."

"The ancient Qiang tribe outside the Great Wall actually united into the bandits. In the past two years, how many people and how many livestock did they rob, and forced the ancient Qiang tribe to die endlessly..."

"However, we have already fought beyond the Great Wall and almost reached the head of the river. The ancient Qiang tribe is not a threat!"

When Li Yao left, the plan he left behind was to plunder the population outside the Great Wall to make up for the shortage of internal population and labor shortage.

Now it seems that my father has done a good job, so that my hometown can develop faster and better.

There is a river head in the north of Longxi, but there is also a river head outside the Great Wall.

Just like Hexi, before the Han Dynasty, Hexi was Zuo Fengyi, and after the Han Dynasty, Hexi was Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang.

It is mainly a problem of regional cognition. The head of the river outside the Great Wall should be called the source of the river to be precise, because that is the source of the Yellow River.

　It's not yet time for a full-scale war, so the protagonist is developing in Guanzhong, and Li Wenhou is expanding the territory in his hometown...
