Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 143 Xun You Knows It All!

After leaving Chang'an, the place I entered was desolate.Compared with the prosperity in Chang'an City, the suburbs of Chang'an are completely two worlds.Liu Xie could see that there was a large barren field full of weeds.There were no village pavilions on the way, and the only thing I saw after walking for a long time was an old farmer who had returned home at dusk, hunched over with his hands behind his back, holding a length of rope in his hand, and slowly walked up the field ridge from afar. walk by.

Behind the old farmer's rope was dragging a bony old cow, which seemed to be dying.Although the wrinkles on the old farmer's face were as deep as ravines, it was still worth Liu Xie's surprise.After all, in this era, farmers with cattle are even rarer than rich people with BMWs in previous lives.After inquiring, it turned out that the cow did not belong to the old farmer himself, but belonged to a strong fortress.In this way, the middle-aged men in the castle did not dare to lead the ox on the road, for fear of losing their lives because of the ox.

As for the old farmer, speaking in his own weird Guanzhong accent, he had killed quite a few people while riding a fierce horse.Liu Xie questioned again and found out that the old farmer was not a Han Chinese, but a Sinicized Hun.

With this simple impression, Liu Xie had a rough inference about the current situation of the entire Han Dynasty.First of all, the big man was really ravaged by the war, and even the refugees dare not cultivate the farmland that can be seen.Secondly, the annexation of powerful landlords is indeed shocking. A little-known powerful actually vaguely controls a place that is not even inhabited.Finally, the contradiction between the Han nationality and the ethnic minorities is not entirely a sharp confrontation.At least the people at the lowest level, because of the pressure of survival, no longer care about the great defense of the Han and barbarians.

Before parting, the old farmer even kindly reminded Liu Xie that Liu Xie should not be greedy and rush on the road, and it would be better to stop at the post station.Although it may also be a wasteland there, what's interesting is that because of Dong Mowang's fierce reputation before, some bandits and bandits there still don't want to suffer bad luck.

"Old man, I brought a full five hundred strong men, isn't it safe?" Liu Xie, who was about to turn around, reminded the old farmer, and couldn't help saying another word.

When Liu Xie came out this time, he was already very low-key.But because of Xu Huang's insistence, he still brought five hundred tigers.Among them were two hundred infantrymen, all wearing black armor and sharp knives, but because of the hot weather, they only wore civilian clothes.The other two hundred were crossbowmen, carrying powerful crossbows, but they were also covered by civilian clothes.There are also a hundred cavalrymen, who are truly selected and decent Xiliang elite cavalry.

Liu Xie thinks that this kind of force is more than enough to deal with ordinary rogues. The reason why he said more is to prove that the old farmer is wrong.

Unexpectedly, when the old farmer heard this, he was overjoyed: "It is because you brought five hundred strong men, and you are a real warrior, that's why you summoned a large number of desperadoes. You don't need to pretend in front of discerning people... …If you were an imperial court envoy with more than a dozen people, those rogues could still spare their lives if they robbed money, but someone like you with a large amount of treasure, hehe..."

Liu Xie couldn't help but glanced back at his guards. The old farmer was right. On this trip, he pretended to be a merchant on the surface, but in fact he was still under the banner of an imperial envoy.Among them is a double-wheeled carriage in Cuiyuhuangli, as well as the ceremonial guards hidden in the motorcade.As for the treasures, he brought a lot. After all, he wanted to show his identity as the emperor in front of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and in order to fool them, some necessary rewards were also indispensable.

"Thank you, old man." Liu Xie bowed deeply and saluted the old farmer.Now, he has another impression of the situation in the Han Dynasty: bandits are rampant.

Riding back to the convoy, Liu Xie's expression was very ugly, but Xu Huang was obviously used to it, and his expression did not change at all.This is nothing, but what surprised Liu Xie was that Xun You also looked like an ancient well without waves.

"Gongda, in this situation, do you have something to tell me?" Liu Xie was in a panic, and he asked Xun You, not wanting to get any definite answer, but just looking for someone to chat with.

And Xun You also saw Liu Xie's thoughts, and said in a perfunctory way: "Your Majesty has long been concerned about it, why should I let this humble minister waste this tongue?"

"You?..." Liu Xie was so angry that his teeth itch, and he naturally knew the reason.Xun You had long seen the end of the Han Dynasty, and because of this, he had the idea of ​​finding another way.

Historically, after he was released from prison, he wanted to go to Yizhou, where the people's livelihood was relatively peaceful, as the prefect of Shu County, so he wanted to use Yizhou as the basis to create a new world.It's a pity that the road is impassable, and it has been parked in Jingzhou.In the end, his uncle Xun Yu, who was two years younger than him, wrote a letter to Boss Cao, and he was recruited into the Cao Group, starting his career as a mastermind.

But now, Xun You's two letters to become the prefect of Shu County were directly rejected by Wang Yun.Later, when Liu Xie fought with Wang Yun in the court, he revealed that he had a hidden hole card beside Wang Yun, which made Wang Yun suspect Xun You. Wang Yun then approved Xun You's request to bury Xun Shuang and return to Yingchuan, hoping to send him away. Xun You.Unexpectedly, just as Xun You was about to leave, he received the news that Liu Xie had entered Mei County, and he even exposed his trick of cheating the world.

Under such a small shock, Xun You naturally agreed to accompany him.However, in the end, it was Liu Xie who made Xun You take the blame for Wang Yun and interfered with his plans. Xun You was angry and it was reasonable.

"Gongda, you don't have to hold grudges against me like this, you also know that the scholar-bureaucrats are also divided into the new school and the old school, you are obviously an outstanding representative of the new school, why do you always want to get along with Wang Yun and other old-fashioned guys? Do you really think that Wang Yun can rule the Han Dynasty? Even, do you think Wang Yun is really the kind of gentleman you imagined?" In order to prevent Xun You, a big treasure, from being lost under his nose, Liu Xie didn't care about the face of the emperor. He started to sow discord directly in front of Xun You.

"I'm afraid you don't know yet, you should have come out of Tingwei's prison long ago, and you don't have to wait for Dong Zhuo to die?" Liu Xie observed Xun You's expression, smiled sinisterly, and took out something from his bosom .

Xun You took it and opened it to see that it was a secret letter written on rough paper.After reading the contents of the letter, Xun You's face as calm as water really flashed a slight wave, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Has Gongda ever felt familiar with the handwriting on this letter?"

"It is undoubtedly the prince's handwriting." Xun You said in silence, but when he turned his head, he suddenly smiled at Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, don't waste your efforts in vain. Although I don't know where Your Majesty got this letter, it is enough to be authentic. The secret letter, but I can assure you that this is by no means the original."

Liu Xie's heart trembled suddenly. This letter was naturally read by Cai Yong silently and written by Cai Yan himself.In fact, Cai Yan was writing this secret letter when Liu Xie and Fu Shou happily smashed the Xuanshi Hall to pieces yesterday.Liu Xie never expected that Cai Yan, a talented girl, not only has a photographic memory, but also copies other people's handwriting.

After this letter was written, Liu Xie took Wang Yun's other memorabilia, and after careful checking, there was no trace of flaws.After reading it, Xun You also thought it was Wang Yun's handwriting.Liu Xie originally thought that this letter from Wang Yun framing Zhang Wen would move Xun You, but he didn't expect that although Xun You admitted the existence of this letter, he concluded that the secret letter was forged.

"Gongda, after Dong Zhuo falsely murdered Mr. Zhang, you were actually able to get out of Tingwei, but it is precisely because of this secret letter that I dare to conclude that the reason why you are still imprisoned in Tingwei is that Wang Yun told Dong Zhuo You are the accomplice who assassinated him, so Dong Zhuo didn't let you out of the court even after the mastermind he thought was eliminated and under the pressure of the whole court." Liu Xie was startled by Xun You, a little out of control, and directly sent you The words in the heart are spoken.

But who would have thought that as soon as these words were said, the smile on Xun You's face became more intense, and there was still a sly smile of satisfaction: "Your Majesty, don't forget that when you came to visit the Ting Wei, the humble minister would I reminded Your Majesty to be careful with the prince."

Liu Xie was shocked. At this moment, he clearly remembered that when he was in Tingwei, Xun You did have a solemn and serious reminder.And now to connect that again...

It turned out that Xun You knew about this a long time ago!

"Your Majesty, there is no reason to talk about things in the world. What is right and wrong depends on who judges. For the sake of righteousness, it is right to give up some people and some benefits."

Xun You finally looked at Liu Xie, and said these words earnestly and earnestly, which made Liu Xie stop on his horse for a long time, forgetting to urge the horse forward for a while.
