Thinking that it was Lu Su's Jingzhou army doing something, he immediately asked, "Why is Xiuruo looking so bad, but what is Jingzhou doing?"

Xun Yan was older than Xun Yu, and about ten years older than Cao Ren.

Hearing Cao Renxiang's question, his expression was a little ugly, and he asked bluntly: "General Cao didn't hear about such a big event?"

Cao Ren was questioned by Xun Yan for a moment and didn't know what was going on. He thought that there was something wrong with the Chenliu war in the east, so he called out, "But the prime minister's war is a bit troublesome?"

But Xun Yan shook his head and said, "It's not the prime minister, but my brother Xun Wenruo!"

"I heard that the prime minister has ordered my brothers to be imprisoned. I don't know if it's true or not, so I came here to seek proof from the general."

"If this is really the case, I want to go to the prime minister to get along with him immediately, and ask the prime minister to raise his hand."

"If Wen Ruo really made a typo, then please just sue your old age and return to your hometown, and just be an idle farmer in your hometown."

Xun Yan was obviously very anxious.

He talked without stopping, and Cao Ren, who had never heard of the news, said it with a look of bewilderment.

I couldn't help thinking: "Why did the prime minister imprison Wen Ruo?"

He also responded to Xun Yan confusedly: "Wen Ruo rescued Zi Lian and Feng Xiao from the Yuan camp last time, and made great contributions. How could this prime minister imprison him?"

"Where did this news come from? It's ridiculous!"

"Brother Xiu Ruo, how can you trust such rumors?"

Xun Yanben naturally couldn't believe it, but this "rumor" can also be divided into how and who spread it

Generally speaking, such rumors and rumors naturally cannot find the root cause.

But the root cause of this matter is clear, it is what Liu Ye said!

And Liu Ye is also a figure who became famous very early.

Back then, Xu Zi made an evaluation of "the talent of the world", which immediately let the world know that there was a talented man named Liu Ye among the clan members of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, people from this family have a common problem, that is, they also value other people's family background.

This problem is not only caused by Yuan Shu, but also by the Xun family.

Regardless of the source of a hero, in the mouths of these aristocratic families, it really can only be said.

And Xun Yan, who was raised in a family like the Xun family who valued family history and reputation, would naturally trust what Liu Ye said.

But Xun Yan responded directly: "It's because I can't tell the truth that I came to the general to ask. But now it seems that the general doesn't know, so I have to ask me to find out by myself."

Cao Ren would listen to the news now, and he was really still digesting it. All the answers were instinctive.

This meeting also responded without thinking: "This matter is not only for Brother Xiu Ruo to ask, I also have to ask clearly, who is causing such waves in this Yingchuan land, disturbing our army's morale."

Xun Yan only blinked when he heard it.

"Then Liu Ye's rumors had already spread in Yingchuan, so Cao Ren'an didn't know about it?"

"It seems that I want to delay the time, I want to find an excuse to deceive me!"

Thinking so much in his heart, Xun Yan said nothing on his face, as if he was persuaded by Cao Ren.

Unable to get an answer, or in other words, got an answer he thought he had, Xun Yan immediately resigned and left.

...

Compared with Xun You, this Xun Yan has a much closer relationship with Xun Yu.

Xun You and Xun Yu said they were uncles and nephews, but they were still cousins.

The grandfathers of the two are brothers.

In terms of relationship, it is naturally not as close as his brother Xun Yan.

This can also be seen from the punishment Xun Yu suffered this time.

Xun Yanguang, who was far away in Yingchuan, heard the rumors, and was much more anxious than Xun You who saw Xun Yu "isolated by Cao Cao" in Cao Ying.

And as soon as Xun Yan left the barracks, immediately a member of the Xun family came up and asked eagerly, "Brother (clan brother), how is the situation?"

But Xun Yan only shook his head and said, "Then Cao Ren won't tell me the truth."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was excited again.

"Then how can Cao Ren deceive him like this? I don't know how much help my Xun family in Yingchuan has given him now?"

"Then Cao Ren and Cao Cao are of the same breed. I said earlier that my brother will get nothing when he goes back, but he still doesn't believe it. It's a waste of time."

"It seems that Cao Cao is definitely not a wise master. Wen Ruo's vision is not as good as You Ruo's!"

This friend is talking about Xun Chen, who is also Xun Yu's brother, but now he is at Yuan Shao in Hebei.

It is said in the world that the Xun family has eight dragons and three ruos, and these three ruos refer to the three brothers of the Xun family.

And although the children of the Xun family were very excited at this meeting, they still had the qualities they should have.

At least it's not like Yuan Yao, who can't help scolding his mother when he gets excited.

But I heard that among the Xun family members, the one who was even more excited couldn't help but recommend himself: "My brother still needs to be in charge of the overall situation in Yingchuan, why don't you tell me to go to Chenliu for a while?"

Someone quickly objected: "Since my brother has made a judgment on this matter, what's the point of you going again? If you don't just call Wen Ruo back, you won't be angry at Cao Ying."

"If it is as rumored and Wen Ruo has been detained by Cao Cao, how can he return?"

"That's right, we have to find out why first! Could it be that our Xun family is meaningless?"

"Why else, Cao Cao's temperament is changeable, so it's not easy to get along with him. Now that the war is not going well, and he is about to be wiped out by Yuan Shu, this is revealing his suspicious and cruel nature!"

"However, when Cao Cao massacred the city in Xuzhou, someone had already advised Wen Ruo to leave early, but he didn't listen. He could have expected the scene of today's fall."

Although the disciples of the Xun family didn't understand the real situation, they seemed to make sense in what you said and what they said.

Only Xun Yan, who heard everyone's words, kept silent until the end and said in a cold voice: "Stop arguing, now that Cao Ren refuses to tell the truth, I will go find someone else, I have made a decision on this matter, you Just wait for the news."

As soon as Xun Yan said this, the Xun family who had been noisy just now immediately quieted down.

They all stood with their hands together, without another word.

Really well-regulated!

Chapter 400 Yingchuan is going to change

In fact, during the war years, the life of these children of aristocratic families was much better than that of ordinary people.

Those who are willing to become an official, as long as you nod your head, you will basically be able to thrive under the hands of one of the princes.

Those who don't want to be an official, retreat to the mountains and forests, relying on their own complicated network of relationships, that is also leisurely and content, and the small life is quite comfortable, no one will bother you.

But it's okay for you to go back to the mountains and forests. If you really want to wander around, there will be no accidents if you don't make sure.

After all, there are many people who are afraid of your family background, and there are even more bandits who will not hang you.

If you meet someone like Zhang Kai, no matter how high your family background is, you may not escape death.

So when Liu Ye saw Xun Yan looking for him, it was really unexpected and he was shocked.

...

"Brother Xiuruo, why did you come to find me?"

Although Liu Ye had never met Xun Yan, but these days, they all pay attention to the spiritual friendship.

The Xun family is so famous, naturally Liu Ye has little respect for it.

What's more, he came with the mission of the son...

In order to save the Son of Heaven, he must complete the task of the son well.

It is a bit too enthusiastic to hear that Xun Yan came to look for it.

The question of asking directly led Xun Yan into the account, and before Xun Yan could open his mouth, he said directly: "If you want to come to find me and ask about Wen Ruo, but Lu Zijing knows better about this matter, why not?" Ask him to come here and talk about it?"

Xun Yan looked at Liu Ye's enthusiastic attitude, but it was completely different from that of Cao Ren!

Immediately he stabilized his mind, and replied directly: "I just came to ask how my younger brother is doing, and I asked Zi Yang not to blame me for visiting rashly."

"In fact, because of the rumors in Yingchuan, people can't tell the truth from the fake."

Although Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are at war now, and Xun Yu and Liu Ye belong to two separate tents, this does not mean that the entire Xun clan is on Cao Cao's warship.

Although the Xun family did contribute a lot in the battle of Yingchuan, the Xun family naturally knew the reason why all eggs should not be put in one basket.

Seeing that the north and south sides of the old Yuan family are getting more and more fierce now, the Xun family will naturally not offend important people under Yuan Yao's tent for no reason.

Therefore, the tone of asking for advice is also quite polite.

Liu Ye heard it but said: "This is exactly what I reported, and because I really didn't know how to inform Xie Ruo, I came up with such a helpless method. I simply asked people to spread it around, and I thought it would always reach Xie Ruo's ears. .”

In Liu Ye's words, he completely dismissed the reasons for spreading the rumors, and by the way, he also cleared up a wave of whitewashing.

Sure enough, Xun Yan nodded repeatedly, without any doubt, and asked directly, "I don't know where Ziyang got the news from?"

Liu Ye had already thought up a series of explanations, and when he heard Xun Yan's inquiry, he immediately said, "Don't worry, let me speak slowly..."

...

"So, if Wen Ruo was imprisoned by that Cao Cao, it was related to the matter of the Son of Heaven?"

"That's right! Wen Ruo resists tyranny, but he doesn't want to but falls into a prisoner's situation. He really has the style of a celebrity and the festival of loyalty and goodness."

Liu Ye's statement is naturally a mixture of truth and falsehood, so that Xun Yan can't find any flaws for a while.

In fact, the reason why Xun Yan could believe in this rumor so much naturally had some basis.

How can the Xun family not know about Xun Yu's situation in Cao Ying.

The old Xun's family also organized a diversification investment like the Zhuge's family at the beginning. Xun Yu was in Cao Cao's place, but his brother Xun Chen was in Hebei.

That being the case, the Xun family will naturally continue to make comments on the two.

Besides, Xun Yu was naturally accompanied by the Xun family's children. How could Xun Yu's plight not pass some news to the Xun family's ears.

It's just that I don't know the extent, and I don't know the reason why, but Yuan Yao seized the opportunity and took advantage of the loophole.

But now that it is related to the emperor, this matter is serious in Xun Yan's heart.

This has something to do with the royal family, which one can end well?

Then I heard Liu Ye sighing directly: "Now that Cao Cao is tyrannical, he will rise up with unjust soldiers to resist our righteous teachers, and he will definitely be defeated!"

"He knows this too!"

"Now that he knows that his defeat is certain, under the madness, he shows his tyrannical heart."

"Prisoning the head of state for no reason, and even killing his life, is the beginning of his madness."

"Wen Ruo pleaded for the head of the country, but was implicated, which has proved that he can't distinguish between right and wrong."

"Such a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, how can I ask him to be my prime minister again?"

"Xiu Ruo! You should think more about it!"

Under Liu Ye's intentional guidance, the topic about Xun Yu quickly changed to Cao Cao's inevitable defeat in this battle.

Of course, Liu Ye's change of subject was also extremely natural, and Xun Yan couldn't easily see it.

Xun Yan was guided by this Liu Ye, and he couldn't stop thinking in his heart.

"Now that Cao Cao is being attacked by Yuan Shu, he is retreating steadily. In the land of Yingchuan, if it weren't for our strong support, I am afraid that he would have been defeated long ago."

"Now that Cao Cao is avenging his kindness and bringing my third brother to such a state, is he deceiving my Xun family to have no one to call?"

Thinking about it this way, Xun Yan, who understood what Liu Ye said, also responded, "However, if we help Yuan Gong, I'm afraid Wen Ruo will have a worse life in Cao Ying."

Liu Ye saw that Xun Yan was already moved, how could he not take advantage of the victory and pursue him.

Immediately said: "Xiu Ruo, this matter has come to this point, there is no reason to be worse."

"Then even if Cao Mengde is insane and dares to kill the head of the country, he must not really do anything to Wen Ruo."

"It's just that if Hugh hesitates and procrastinates like this, I'm afraid that Cao Cao's killing ring will make my big fellow and all the veterans suffer again."

It is said that they are a group of old officials of the big man, but in fact the really old ones were almost ruined when Dong Zhuo was in chaos.

Some were not given to Huo Huo by Dong Zhuo, but also to Wang Yun who came to power later, and even Li Jue and Guo Si to Huo Huo.

The rest are really lucky.

But now these lucky ones, in Xun Yan's eyes, their own brothers are not as important.
