Xun Shixiang of the Three Kingdoms

-----------

"Ah Man, are you back? Here are two letters." When Cao Cao returned to his residence, he was greeted by a muscular man in military uniform with a bronze complexion and a head taller than Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at the two letters on the table. One scroll had Luoyang written on one side, and the other had Yangdi written on it.When he saw these two place names, he smiled, and happily said to the man standing beside him, "Yuan Rang, how is your training going?"

The man called "Yuan Rang" is one of Cao Cao's good brothers, Xiahou Dun.He also smiled and said, "Don't worry, your tiger and leopard riding a horse will no longer be a dream."

Cao Cao had already opened the letter from Luoyang at this time, and seeing that the contents of the letter were as he expected, he said: "Wang Yun has made arrangements, and with Lu Bu as a guarantor, Dong Zhuo must retreat to Liangzhou."

Xiahou Dun asked, "Then, what did Mr. Xi say?"

Cao Cao unwrapped another scroll of bamboo slips, first frowning, then suddenly enlightened, and said: "He will arrive in Jizhou in half a month, and we can rest assured that we will pursue Dong Zhuo."

In the early morning of this day, Xun Xiang was still half asleep and half awake, and vaguely saw that Xun Fan was already dressing up.She muttered, "Why did I get up so early today..."

Unexpectedly, Xun Fan heard it, turned around and said indifferently: "Today, something important came to my ears, and it's hard not to remember it."

Xun Xiang turned over and said nonchalantly, "What could be the big deal...Dong Zhuo is calling?"

Xun Fan snorted coldly and said, "He was more courageous than this. He poisoned King Hongnong to death and burned Luoyang to the ground before he was willing to return to Liangzhou."

Xun Xiang replied confusedly: "Oh...it turned out that Luoyang was burned...fortunately..." In this way, she didn't have to get up from the bed and run for her life... She was about to go back to sleep when she suddenly woke up Suddenly, he sat up from the bed and asked in disbelief: "What? Luoyang burned?!"

After 400 years, the city of Handu was burned down by Dong Zhuo?

"Even King Hongnong's bones were turned into ashes together with Weiyang Palace, what do you think?" Xun Fan turned his head back and trimmed his hair in front of the bronze mirror.

"King Hongnong..." Xun Xiang thought for a long time with his still not sober mind before he remembered the name of King Hongnong Liu Bian.This little emperor is really miserable. First he taught Dong Zhuo to be dethroned, and then he taught Dong Zhuo to be poisoned to death. Now I am afraid that even his bones will not be found.

"But the huge city of Luoyang...how could it be burned down so easily?" Xun Xiang recalled the few months she had been in Luoyang. Twelve fruit crisps are the taste that she will never forget in her life.

Xun Fan didn't seem to want to say more, and simply said: "Everything that can be taken away from the palace is taken away, and those who can't be taken away are smashed and burned; all officials and ordinary people are expelled, and those who don't want to go can be with you." Luoyang was buried together." In fact, the scene of blood in Luoyang is probably more cruel than what Xun Fan described. The palaces and houses were completely destroyed, and Dong Zhuo didn't even spare the tomb. .

"The fire burned for ten days and ten nights, and even God helped him. There was no sound of people for hundreds of miles, and it was like a ghost town." Xun Fan thought for a while, and then added, hearing Xun Xiang beating one after another cold war.

Xun Xiang said cautiously: "Then... what should Yuan Shao do?"

Xun Fan seemed to be still talking about things that had nothing to do with him: "The princes were both angry and happy. While scolding Dong Thief for being insidious and tyrannical, they secretly rejoiced that they were finally able to retreat." How many of those who took advantage of the opportunity were sincerely begging Dong and rejuvenating the Han Dynasty?Once Dong Zhuo retreated, although they couldn't get money from Luoyang, they didn't lose anything, and Dong Zhuo's atrocities could no longer affect them.Xun Xiang also heard from Xun Yu and the others that the situation in Yuan Shao's tent was not optimistic.

------------------------

Xun Xiang had a good idea. In Yuan Shao's big tent, although everyone's attitude was very casual, they secretly competed with each other.Especially the two Yuan brothers who have hated each other for a long time and have not yet turned their faces.

Cao Cao was still sitting at the end of the banquet, still wearing a low-key crow-colored dark suit, watching the princes fighting with a sinking face.

"Shao, I want to invite Liu Yu, a member of the royal family, to be the emperor." As Xun Fan said, the princes of all walks of life are unwilling to pursue Dong Zhuo's army vigorously—not to mention that the so-called Kwantung Allied Forces have been holding back their troops for a long time. Instead of spending money, it is better to go back to each house and have fun.Although Yuan Shao is the leader in name, his status is equal to that of other feudal lords. If there is no common interest in the front, how can he command them?

However, Yuan Shao actually came up with the idea of ​​setting up another emperor, and there was an uproar in the tent.Cao Cao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, then shook his head in his heart.His eyes wandered towards Xun Yu intentionally or unintentionally, and seeing Xun Yu frowned.

It is good that Liu Xie, the current emperor, was established by Dong Zhuo, but after all, the path to the throne is not correct, and many people in the world stubbornly believe that Liu Bian is the orthodox one.Before Dong Zhuo returned to Liangzhou, he still did not forget to poison Liu Bian to death, which also broke the idea of ​​​​the princes' restoration.Yuan Shao's abacus was similar to Dong Zhuo's, to establish a separate imperial power, not to mention that Liu Yu was the queen of East China Sea King Gong, who was as high as the Sangong, and had much more prestige than Liu Xie, a kid.

Yuan Shu refuted him almost immediately: "Today, Dong Zhuo is in trouble, and the Kwantung Allied Forces are reviving righteous soldiers, but brother, you have broken your promise and betrayed your Majesty. This is inappropriate!"

The princes and generals supported the proposal one after another, but few people were in favor of it. Yuan Shao felt that his chest was stuffy and he couldn't speak for a while.

Seeing this, Cao Cao got up to attend, and said in a loud voice under the eyes of everyone: "We will raise righteous soldiers to punish the riots. The Dong bandits burned the palace and robbed the emperor. Although they retreated to Liangzhou, it is still a disaster! This is the death of the Dong bandits. At this time, a battle can be decided, why do you doubt it?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone at the meeting was cheered up. No one thought that Cao Cao would impassionedly want to raise troops to attack Dong at this time. After all, even Yuan Shao had no such intention.However, Cao Cao's words also showed his position, and he did not support Yuan Shao's establishment of another emperor. Isn't this trip like Dong Zhuo's?

Having said that, there are still many princes who either speak out against each other or remain silent. Cao Cao is like Yuan Shao, and no one supports him.But Cao Cao had expected this situation, and he didn't look shocked, so he immediately asked for his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao was not in the mood to pay attention to him, so he agreed.

Xun Xiang learned from Xun Yu that Cao Cao was going to pursue Dong alone, and couldn't help being surprised: "This... Cao Cao only has a few thousand soldiers, how can he attack Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of troops?" Isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "If the Kwantung Allied Forces are willing to attack together, why worry about Dong Zhuo not being captured? It's a pity..." After finishing speaking, he walked to the table and began to write something.

"...you can lead your troops to the west and occupy Chenggao..." Xun Xiang leaned over and found that Xun Yu had written to Cao Cao!

"There are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and a pair of several hundred is always bad luck." Xun Yu said.

Xun Xiang said: "Brother Yu also admires General Cao?"

"En." Xun Yu responded, and then blurted out: "With time, he will surely become a capable minister who governs the world!" So he wanted to write a few words of opinion, just because he thought it was necessary.

"A minister capable of governing the world... I remember that Mr. Xu once commented, the next sentence is a traitor in troubled times..." Xun Xiang hesitated to say it. A while ago, she read a lot of reviews about people in the world. Among them This is the only sentence she remembers clearly, but she always feels that this comment is something against morality.

"The difference between a capable minister and a traitorous hero is only one step." After Xun Yu finished writing the last word, he breathed a sigh of relief at the bamboo slips, as if he didn't care much.

Xun Xiang curled her lips, always feeling that the Cao Cao she came into contact with had nothing to do with a "treacherous hero", and it would be appropriate to describe him as a "hero".

"Brother Yu, let me deliver it for you!" Xun Xiang happily picked up the bamboo slips and was about to go out.

"Hey! What the hell are you thinking, little girl?" Xun Yu was concentrating on writing the analysis of the soldiers, and also caught the word "Ye" in Xun Xiang's saying "I also appreciate General Cao". I was only infatuated with Lu Bu before. Baobuqi Cao Cao has become her new idol again, but this time Cao Cao is not as far away as Lu Bu before.

Hearing this, Xun Xiang stopped at the door, turned around and said innocently: "To share your worries! Brother, when you are away, I am always with my sister-in-law and Xiao He'er to relieve boredom! Even brother Chen, I will take care of it for you. Follow him!"

Xun Yu: "..."

-----------------------------------

Xun Xiang made half-guess and half-explore the area where Cao Cao's army was located, but was stopped by Xiahou Dun who was passing by halfway.

"Is the little girl lost by herself?" Xiahou Dun looked down at Xun Xiang expressionlessly. He thought it was strange that such a cute-looking but old-fashioned little girl wandered here. He even used judgment sentences. .

"No...not." Xun Xiang looked up at Xiahou Dun, because his chin was raised slightly, so Xun Xiang stared at his stubble-covered chin, thinking that the people under Cao Cao were as full as him. He has a heroic spirit, but the man in front of him is a bit fierce.

Xiahou Dun still looked at Xun Xiang expressionlessly, waiting for her next words.

"Oh... By the way, I am here to deliver the letter for Mr. Xun Yu." After staring at Xia Houdun, Xun Xiang finally realized that she still had business to do, and quickly reported Xun Yu's name, with a look on her face. Handed over the bamboo slip with a pious look.

Xiahou Dun nodded when he heard Xun Yu's name, turned around and left without hesitation after finishing the bamboo slips.

Xun Xiang had no choice but to
