Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 415 Not So Easy

When they came to Yingchuan this time, Xun You and Liu Xie had different ideas.

The emperor Liu Xie only hoped that he would open up a passage from Yuzhou to Yanzhou, but Xun You felt that he should leave something special in this heartland of the world and the land of the Fourth World War.That thing is illusory, but when necessary, it should be able to condense into a huge potential energy, and become the belief that Yuzhou can get rid of misery, desolation, and fate.

The source of this belief is naturally the emperor of the dynasty.

Xun You believes that as long as the people in Yuzhou know that the Son of Heaven is the Lord of Zhongxing, it is the hope of the Han Dynasty's return to unity.They will not be like dogs who lost their homes, living in a miserable and chaotic world.

"Uncle, do you think nephew's idea is feasible?" Xun You asked the coffin again, causing those who carried the coffin to look at each other.But Xun You didn't take it seriously, and said to the servants with a smile: "Let's go!"

Xun You's destination this time is Yingyin County in Yingchuan.

Yingyin County is located in the south of Yingshui, where the Xun family lived.The most glorious period of the Xun family was Xun Shu's time. The world respected him as the "Shenjun", and his eight sons were also called "Eight Dragons".At that time, the Xun family, not to mention the fire cooking oil, was at least the Dingjia family.

Xun You's grandfather, Xun Tan, does not actually belong to this branch, but the big family is like this. The blood of the ancestors is connected and lived together, forming a powerful and warm force.

Xun Tan became the prefect of Guangling, and Xun You's father, Xun Yi, had worked in Yuzhou.Unfortunately, when Xun You was very young, his father Xun Yi passed away, and he grew up with his uncle Xun Qu.Right now, the person in charge of the Xun family is none other than his uncle Xun Qu who brought up Xun You—this is a huge innate advantage for Xun You.As long as he can convince his uncle, half of Yingchuan will be considered a victory.

As for those contextual relationships that make other people seem to be constantly cutting and chaotic, it is still helpful for Xun You: with the Xun family as a springboard, the tide he set off will soon sweep the land of Yingchuan. With too much effort, Yingchuan can be made into a bright and sunny day.

This is the so-called easy solution and one-stop solution.

Right now, Cao Cao's chaos in Xuzhou has made the people of the world hate and feel ashamed. The emperor conspired against Yingchuan in order to conquer the crimes on behalf of the heavens, and before the action, Lu Bu in the north will take the lead. In Xun You's view, such a good situation As long as I am as fast as a spark and move like a rabbit this time, dredging the road to Yingchuan will be like finding something out of a bag.

Gradually, Xun You inevitably felt a sense of closeness to his hometown.In recent years, the world has been in turmoil, and he knows that the Xun family has also established private soldiers and built Wubao, which spread all over Yingyin, Yingyang, Yangzhai and other counties, forming a corner with the Chen family in Xu County and the Zhong family in Changshe.

But along the way, Xun You didn't feel the warmth of many friends helping each other.What's more, it's the bleak suffering brought about by the troubled times.Looking around, Yingchuan has declined a lot. Many of the bustling and prosperous villages are just ruins, standing quietly, despite the wind and rain, as if they are telling the terrible things that happened once.

Xun You remembers how prosperous this road used to be: within [-] miles of Xunjiazhuang, you can see countless horses and pedestrians converging towards this direction. Ambitious.With beautiful jade and a sword hanging from his waist, he talked and laughed all the way forward, even the air was full of literary spirit.

But now, there are only horseshoe prints on this road that the rain can't seem to wash away.Occasionally, you can see rotten corpses from the grass on both sides, which makes people feel suffocated in a desolate and cold way.

Finally arrived at Xun You's house - but everything in front of him is no longer the village in Xun You's memory.

The entire village shrank by two-thirds, the original school was completely destroyed, but the rest of the village built a high fort wall, and Zhuang Ding sometimes stood guard on it with weapons.

"Who is it? Stop!" Seeing Xun You and his party, Zhuang Shangzhuang Ding shouted loudly.

Xun You stood still, turned back to let the servant stop, took a few steps forward, and shouted in a clear voice: "Repay the Patriarch, just say that the unworthy son Xun You has returned with the coffin of the sixth uncle."

The Zhuang Ding in the village was stunned for a long time, then he reacted, dropped the spear in his hand and ran into the village.After a while, the gate of the villa opened with a bang, and Xun Qu, whose hair was already grey, strode out with the support of the Zhuang Ding: "Where is my son?"

With tears in his eyes, Xun You took a few steps forward and knelt down on the ground: "Here is the child. How is your uncle? I kowtow to you." After saying this, Xun You immediately turned around on his knees, causing Watching Xun Qu look at the coffin behind him, he choked up and said, "Uncle, my son brought back the coffin of the sixth uncle!"

Xun You originally thought that Xun Qu would burst into tears with joy when he heard this.Unexpectedly, Xun Qu suddenly felt heartbroken: "Boy, Uncle Wang admired you the most since childhood, how can you be so confused?! Nowadays, in the world of Han, is there any place that is as stable as Guanzhong? Even Xuzhou, which has always been clean, Now the flames of war are raging! You moved back the coffin of the sixth uncle, do you want him to die and watch Yingchuan's life suffer?"

Xun You listened carefully to Xun Qu's words. He was secretly happy in the first half, but when it came to the last sentence, he suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Uncle, has something serious happened to Yingchuan?"

Xun Qu obviously doted on Xun You, and he didn't want Xun You to worry about Yingchuan's affairs as soon as he came back, so he said another comforting word: "It's good for uncle to move back. Didn't Gongda get famous because of your grandfather? ? Now that my uncle is back, maybe we can keep Yingchuan peaceful."

The time Xun Qu said was the time when Xun You became famous when he was young.After Xun You's grandfather Xun Tan passed away, Zhang Quan, who had been a minor official under Xun Tan, offered to guard Xun Tan's tomb for him.Xun You thought there must be something strange about it, and after looking at the man, he told Xun Qu. Xun Qu immediately questioned Zhang Quan, and he found out that Zhang Quan was actually a murderer who had been hiding for many years.Since then, Xun You's reputation has gradually spread in Yingchuan.

After saying all this, Xun Qu couldn't bear the excitement in his heart after all, and burst into tears holding Xun You again.At this time, a young man in his twenties came to salute Xun You: "See cousin."

Xun You was stunned: "This is?"

"This is your brother Xun Qi, whose name is Boqi." Xun Qu stopped crying with difficulty, introduced the family members for Xun You, and then led Xun You in: "Outside is not a place to talk, come back to the village quickly, Our uncle and nephew are so happy to reminisce about the old days. Come here, so happy to welcome the coffin of the sixth uncle, let the old man take a good look at it and rest for a while, and then I will let the uncle return to his roots and rest in peace."

Xun You didn't answer Xun Qu's words, his gaze shifted from the worried Xun Qu's face to the young Xun Qi's, and after a flash of deep eyes, he smiled and said, "Brother Qi, I can't even think of it, I dare not admit it, When I left home, he was not as high as my chest, and in a blink of an eye, he was a big boy."

"Yes, in a blink of an eye, cousin, you have been away from home for ten years. I heard that you are now General Anyuan of the imperial court?" What is the rank of the general, does he have military power in his hands? Can he compete with a governor?"

Xun Qi's question made it difficult for Xun You to answer. From the Warring States period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, generals have been in charge of conquests, setting up on the fly, and letting go when the task is over.Since the Han Dynasty, the general has become the permanent commander of the army, and his status has become increasingly important.At first, the generals had the names of big generals, hussars, chariots, guards, front, back, left, and right in turn. People, only important ministers can let them go.

In other words, in the Han Dynasty, it was the highest pursuit for ordinary people to be a school captain, and Zhonglang generals were only set up when they were fighting.Only under very special circumstances, such as the imperial court's reason for conquest or role, will the rest of the generals be appointed, such as General Du Liao.But now that the conquests are frequent and the wars are increasing day by day in troubled times, miscellaneous generals such as General Xun You Anyuan and General Xuan Yi, who Jia Xu concurrently serves, have emerged as the times require.

In today's Han court, the power given to Xun You by Liu Xie is above Zhonglang General and only below Lieqing. His rank is also two thousand shi and he participates in government affairs, which is supposed to be quite high.Coupled with Liu Xie's trust, he can indeed mobilize some of the imperial court's military power.

However, this military department cannot be compared with the governor of the same party.Although the governor was originally a supervisor of only [-] shi, but later his power became heavier and his rank was raised to [-] shi.In the fifth year of Emperor Ling's Zhongping, Liu Yan said that there were many troubles in the four directions. The reason was that the governors had less power, so some senior governors were changed to mu.

He, General Anyuan, has no affiliation with the governor.If it is easy to talk about fighting, it will also involve messy government affairs, connections, situations, etc...

As a result, Xun You was silent for a moment, but he didn't know how to explain it properly.At this moment, Xun Qu's shout came to his ears suddenly: "Zhuzi, your cousin just came back, what are you asking nonsense?!"

Xun Qi was scolded by his old father, and immediately kept silent.But Xun You took a deep look at the unwilling expression on Xun Qi's face, and suddenly realized something in his heart: It seems that coming here this time will not be as easy as imagined...
