Chapter 3490 Good, Very Good, Very Good!

Chapter 3489 Good, very good, very good!

The collision of spears and swords sparkled with sparks.

Figures stand or fall between chaos and carnage.

Hu Min thought he was somewhat brave, but he met Xu Chu.

The exquisitely armored hussars spread out a line and blocked Hu Min's way to rescue the ferry camp.

These hussars were originally well-trained, and after being tempered by blood and fire, even without any special orders, they were able to form a perfect formation for Hu Min and other Cao army reinforcements in this undulating ravine area. The effectiveness of suppression.

Xu Chu was like a gorilla with every attack in the battle line, possessing both tyrannical strength and flexible speed. When Cao Jun's soldiers faced Xu Chu, they were completely helpless and unstoppable.

Hu Min rushed out from one side and aimed his spear at Xu Chu, "Kill!" 』

Xu Chu became energetic and shouted, "Well done!" 』

The fighting spirit spreads out.

There are no photoelectric special effects, and there is no thunderclap sound. The exchange between the sword and the spear is short and brutal.

Not pretty, but deadly.

The two of them collided suddenly, and then Hu Min quickly retreated.

Just like Xu Chu is a rock and Hu Min is a wave.

The blood spilled between the two was the price of the collision.

The two soldiers of Cao's army seemed to realize that Hu Min was injured, and instinctively stood in front of Hu Min.

Xu Chu lowered his head slightly and looked at the side of his waist.

A piece of armor collapsed over there.

There were sounds of fighting and screaming all around.

Xu Chu shook the blood from his sword and said, "Not bad!" I know a brave warrior... My lord, the hussar, is thirsty for talents. If the warrior is willing to surrender today... I can make the decision, and all these soldiers can survive! 』

Up and down the loess ravines, people were howling and dying.

Hu Min hesitated.

After the defeat of the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp, most of his courage was lost with the fleeing soldiers, and now the rest is lost because of the wounds on his body...

Xu Chu saw Hu Min's hesitation and didn't bother to press. He just tapped the shield with his sword, signaling to Hu Min that he didn't have much time left.

Hu Min looked around and saw fear and helplessness in the eyes of the neighboring Cao soldiers, "You... you eat people..."

This time it was Xu Chu's turn to be stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing, "We don't eat people!" 』

Hu Min was doubtful.

Xu Chu laughed loudly, "I can swear an oath to heaven and earth here!" Up and down Guanzhong, only cattle and sheep are eaten, not living people! 』

Xu Chu paused for a moment, looked at Hu Min and said, "It's not like Shandong, but it treats living people as cattle and sheep!" This is the chance to surrender! Surrender or fight, it can be decided in one word! 』

Hu Min took a deep breath. The wounds on his body caused by Xu Chu's wounds ached faintly, as if reminding him of something. He looked at the other Cao soldiers on the left and right, and found that there was no fighting intention in the eyes of those Cao soldiers, only pleading and helplessness...

"call……"

Hu Min loosened his grip and dropped his spear, "Someone... is willing to surrender!" 』

The surrounding Cao soldiers seemed to be relieved and hurriedly threw their swords and guns to the ground.

Seeing this, Hu Min was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Someone knows the direction in which Dong Zhao and Dong Gongren escaped!" 』

…

…

The land east of the river is bloody and cruel. People were injured and died all the time, but in Xu County of Yingchuan, they still enjoyed peace and quiet.

The palace of the Han Dynasty was still shining brightly under the sun.

Even in the simple Emperor's Palace, there are still some gorgeous frieze carvings, gorgeous gold and silverware, and some items that may not seem very eye-catching, but require a lot of thought and effort.

Just like the heater in winter, it is inconspicuous. No one in the hall will give the heater a second glance, but it burns the coals in its belly and silently provides warmth to everyone.

The thick wind curtain blocked the cold wind from the main hall, but the atmosphere inside the main hall seemed to be somewhat solidified because it isolated the flow of outside air...

This place was originally a place where the situation of the entire world could be decided, but now it can only passively watch the evolution of the situation in the world.

Although the final result has not yet been determined, one thing is certain, the hussars are still in action, and the emperor's edict...

I can't say it's completely useless, but I can't see any effect at the moment.

When talking about this issue, Liu Xie felt a little hot on his face. I don't know if it's because the charcoal fire in the furnace in the main hall is burning too brightly, or for some other reason.

During the process of issuing the edict, Liu Xie had some thoughts of his own.

However, such a major event was obviously not something that Liu Xie could handle alone. He could only invite ministers who were usually relatively close to him to discuss countermeasures.

For example, Cui Yan's son, Cui Qin.

There is also Xun Yun's son, Xun Yun.

All have common surnames.

But they are also small people.

This may be a helplessness, but also a necessity.

Liu Xie's official position was not very high. After all, even if Liu Xie wanted to give it, he would be refuted by the ministerial order. Therefore, it was like a child playing house, and naturally only these sons were attracted.

Ever since the edict was issued, Liu Xie had imagined or fantasized about the situation when the two warring parties received the edict more than once...

With thousands of troops and horses, an angel is riding from the east.

In the cold light of the swords and spears, the scepter representing the emperor was raised high.

Under the banner of the Han Dynasty, the generals and military commanders in military uniforms prostrated themselves on the ground.

The voice of the angel reading the edict spread far and wide, and everywhere he went, everyone worshiped...

However, all these illusions were eventually shattered.

The conclusion that Fei Qian, like Cao Cao, was a serious thorn in the side of the Han Dynasty was once again confirmed.

However, the identification of this "serious trouble" is not a rare thing, nor is it the most urgent issue. What Liu Xie is facing now is if Cao Cao is really defeated again and again, and retreats again and again, then what will he, the emperor, do? How to deal with it!

"Today's troubles are not caused by one day's cold." Since the Zhongping Period, bandits have been in chaos all over the country, and the Northern Army has been unable to support itself alone. Therefore, orders have been given to local areas to recruit soldiers and horses to wipe out the bandits. This is a move made in an awkward situation and is not a long-term solution. Xun Yun spoke eloquently, "The local governor and governor have too much power. This is the beginning of the current shortcomings." Thief Dong coerced the emperor, disobeyed the moral order, and brought shame to the country. It is really a shame and a great humiliation for our ministers. If such disadvantages cannot be eliminated, disaster will come again sooner or later. 』

Xun Yun dared to speak, and Liu Xie naturally dared to listen, and even wanted to applaud to show his applause. However, he finally calmed down, nodded slightly to express his approval, and then asked: "Ai Qing, do you have any clever ideas?" 』

Cui Qin on the side glanced sideways at Xun Yun.

This guy really dares to say it!

Although Cui Qin himself feels that he is strong enough, he still has to think carefully before saying this...

And what happened to Xun Yun today?

You were silent before, why did you speak first today?

Cui Qin was silent. Things had changed. He felt that the best way to deal with it was to wait and see.

Xun Yun on the side, perhaps thinking that this was his highlight moment, his face became more rosy. He raised his head and raised two fingers, "Now the big man is like a sick man. If you want to save him, you should strengthen the body and drive out the evil." also. 』

Liu Xie nodded again, "What do you mean by "strengthening the body and exorcising evil spirits"? 』

"Supporting the uprightness is to support the uprightness of people's hearts." Xun Yun said calmly, "The Han Dynasty established a country based on loyalty and filial piety." This is the law that will last forever. Loyal ministers and filial sons should remember the words of Zhongni and always learn the precepts of Huayuan. Only then can they settle down and live their lives, serve the emperor, and help the country. Since Xiao Guangwu, he has known that Longxi is powerful and often uses the army to disrupt the government, so he has reduced the army and implemented military strategies. However, as time went by, the dispatched ministers did not understand the key points of Guanlong, and they were greedy, lazy and slack, which caused the Western Qiang to be in chaos, which eventually spread throughout the country. Therefore, the way to strengthen the body is to emphasize loyalty and filial piety. Only when your heart is right can you be right. Only with one intention can there be single-mindedness. To eat the king's salary is to share the country's worries. The foundation of loyalty and filial piety must not be forgotten even for a moment. 』

"Therefore, strengthening the body is to distinguish between loyalty and filial piety." In today's place, there are many people who don't know how to be loyal and filial. They only know the growth of one place and don't know the world's society. Now when we are trying to correct the situation, we must put the loyal and filial people at the top and the ignorant at the bottom. Only in this way can the government and the public be clean, and the great men can be smooth. ! 』

Liu Xie frowned slightly.

If he can fulfill an imperial edict and let anyone go up, he can go down. Then why bother discussing it here?

But it’s hard to interrupt Xun Yun’s eloquent speech. After all, there are only three or two big cats and kittens at the moment, so I can only choose the big one from the short ones...

In a daze, Liu Xie suddenly remembered that when he was talking to Fei Qian about the reincarnation of the five virtues in the world, the half-smiling expression on Fei Qian's face seemed to be the same as when he was looking at Xun Yun. ?

However, what Xun Yun said is not completely unreasonable.

Over the years, local officials have been vague and unsteady, without a correct outlook on things...

Well, if Liu Xie knew what "Three Views" is, he would definitely use this word.

Those who make money make money, and those who are lazy are lazy. The governor of a place can only read, only know how to exercise and learn foreign languages?

Isn't this a joke?

But when it really happened to Liu Xie, Liu Xie couldn't laugh anymore.

After defeating Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were born.

After defeating Yuan Shao, Cao Cao Feiqian was born.

Now if Cao Cao is defeated, who will be next?

Liu Xie didn't dare to think about it.

Even if there is no next person, the Han Dynasty is probably pretty much corroded internally. Now Liu Xie's orders are no longer effective after leaving the palace. If it continues to develop, will it mean that it won't even take care of things inside the palace?

While Liu Xie was distracted, Xun Yun continued to make lofty remarks.

"The second is to exorcise evil spirits!" To remove evil spirits, you should have tools. Whether it is medicinal stones or golden needles used on the sick body, they are all used to expel evil spirits. Nowadays, if a big man wants to ward off evil spirits, he should have some tools to use. Therefore, in my humble opinion, I should imitate the method of the Western Garden established by the late emperor and rebuild the Northern Army! 』

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

Although what Xun Yun said before was too far-fetched, now it does hit the point, but the problem also lies in this point!

Imperial power without military power is just a decoration.

Liu Xie didn't understand it at first, but now he understands it, but it's a pity it's too late.

Back then, he still had 3,000 men given to him by Hussar. If he had used them properly, he might not be like this today!

It's a pity, the road has been blazed by oneself, and the bitter fruits have been planted by oneself...

"The Northern Army...where did the soldiers come from, and where did the food and grass come from?" Liu Xie asked.

Xun Yun seemed to be confident and said: "Recruit them! The original law is that only good family boys can join the Northern Army, but now there is chaos, so it should be temporarily abandoned. People who are loyal and filial in the world can join the Northern Army! Anyone who is willing to serve your majesty can be accepted! Those who have strength can contribute their strength, and those who have food can contribute money and food! Gathering sand makes a tower, gathering water makes a river! '

Liu Xie listened and felt that it made some sense, but it seemed unreliable.

'Even if there are soldiers, they cannot be used if they are not trained. 'Liu Xie said.

Xun Yun said: 'Your Majesty, don't worry! You can fight to support the war! '

'Fight to support the war? 'Liu Xie's eyes widened.

Xun Yun nodded and said: 'Looking at the local military situation, they are all supported by fighting! In the past, Dong thieves fought against Xiqiang, and then they had their soldiers! Now there are many bandits in the world, so they can be supported by fighting. If you can support a group, you can gather a part! In time, the Northern Army will be completed! '

Liu Xie let out a long breath.

Xun Yun left his seat and bowed to the ground: "I am not talented, but I am willing to raise soldiers for your majesty! I am willing to donate my family property to train your majesty for war! Even if I lose everything, I will do my best and never regret it! '

Liu Xie quickly stretched out his hand to signal, "My dear minister, you are so loyal, I am very pleased, please stand up, please stand up..."

Although Liu Xie felt that this matter was very unreliable and almost impossible, but Xun Yun's performance was so good, Liu Xie could not say that he refuted it on the spot, or scolded Xun Yun for talking about war on paper...

After all, it was not easy to have such a loyal minister, who even expressed his willingness to donate his family property to train his troops for him. This enthusiasm really touched Liu Xie a little, so he nodded and agreed to let Xun Yun give it a try, and also said that even if it failed, it would be okay, and the main thing was Xun Yun's own safety.

……

……

Xun Yun returned home.

Looking at the mottled earth color on the white wall of his home, Xun Yun was silent for a moment, and then laughed.

Although his father was also one of the eight dragons of the Xun family, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of them was different. Not all dragons could be like some people, with both a glorious reputation, a smart mind, and inexhaustible wealth...

His father was just a little bit of advantage and was collectively called one of the eight dragons. Even if the eight dragons were gathered together, his father was the invisible person who was at the end.

When it came to Xun Yun's generation, his father's reputation was even more useless.

Although he and Xun Yu had some kinship, even brothers had to settle accounts, let alone cousins?

Otherwise, why would he be a patrol officer?

If he could get a decent job, who would do that?

After sitting alone for a while, suddenly there was a shadow shaking under the corridor, and then someone whispered: "Young master invites you. '

'Lord', of course, not referring to Xun Yun...

Xun Yun answered, then stood up, followed the visitor around the backyard, out of the back door, out of the alley, and then got on a van, shook for a while, and stopped.

Xun Yun lowered his head and entered the corner gate, and saw Xun Yu sitting in the pavilion in the backyard from a distance.

'Greetings, Lord...'

Xun Yun hurriedly took a few steps forward, arrived outside the pavilion, bowed.

Xun Yu glanced at Xun Yun and gestured to the servant beside him.

The servant brought a brocade cushion and placed it on the mat outside the pavilion, 'Lord Yun, sit down.'

Xun Yun hurriedly thanked him, and then sat down carefully.

Before, when he came to see Xun Yu, he would talk while standing, and then leave after speaking, and he didn't even have the qualifications to sit down. Now even a small brocade cushion makes Xun Yun feel a little honored.

Xun Yu quietly listened to what Xun Yun said and did in the emperor's place, and what the emperor Liu Xie said and did...

After a while, Xun Yun whispered: "Ling Jun, this matter..."

Xun Yu nodded, "Just do it as you said."

"Ah?" Xun Yun was stunned for a moment.

Xun Yu waved to the steward beside him, and the steward immediately took a lacquer box from the side and placed it in front of Xun Yun.

Xun Yun didn't dare to touch the lacquer box directly, but just looked up at Xun Yu, "This... This is..."

"Since you are doing things for your majesty, you must do it seriously." Xun Yu waved his hand.

Hearing this, Xun Yun couldn't help but be stunned.

No way, wasn't it just a trick? How come it's really going to be done now?

……

……

On the other side, after Liu Xie returned to the back hall, he sat down and thought, and the more he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

Although Xun Yun could barely be considered a member of the Xun family of Yingchuan, he was a marginal figure after all, so it was inevitable that he would not be confident in his words and deeds.

Now he suddenly took on so many responsibilities and spoke out so loudly...

‘Come here! ’

Liu Xie felt something was wrong, so he called a eunuch, stared at him for a long time, and after making his neck shrink shorter and shorter, he slowly said: ‘Go and find out what Xun Shilang was doing after he returned? Then report back quickly! Be careful! Don’t let outsiders know! ’

The eunuch kowtowed and accepted the order, and then retreated.

Liu Xie knew that these eunuchs might not be reliable, but the problem was that he couldn’t find anyone reliable, so what could he do?

Liu Xie walked back and forth in the back hall with his hands behind his back.

Since he hoped that Xun Yun was telling the truth, Liu Xie's work these days and the team of ministers he had found could be considered somewhat decent, but he also hoped that Xun Yun was lying, which showed that Liu Xie's ability to observe his ministers had indeed improved to a certain extent, and he could also "support the righteous and drive out the evil" as Xun Yun had said before, and eliminate a guy who was not loyal to him, or was just loyal on the surface.

However, Liu Xie agreed with one point of Xun Yun's suggestion, that is, military power.

Military power must be there!

Liu Xie even walked back to the table in the back hall, and couldn't help picking up the pen and writing more than a dozen "soldier" characters in a row. The more he wrote, the more upset he felt in his heart, so he grabbed the paper and threw it on the ground.

Soldiers, it's easy to say, but if you really want to do it, where do they come from?

In the seal script, soldiers are people holding two forks.

And people naturally come from the people, from the masses...

So since ancient times, it has been known that the people must be treated as people first, and then warriors who can dual-wield weapons can be selected to serve as soldiers!

Unfortunately, in the Han Dynasty, after being simplified into official script, the soldiers lost their human form...

When the sun was setting, the eunuchs of the Yellow Gate came to report that Xun Yun had really sold his property and used a lot of money to recruit people, and many people saw it...

After hearing this, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction.

Ah, the Han Dynasty still has loyal ministers!

Good, very good, very good!
