Fuji [Four Beauties]

49 - But no regrets

Seeing the flying arrow coming, Song Ci drew out the soft arrow at his waist and slashed at the flying arrow without thinking.After breaking the flying arrow, Song Ci grabbed Cai Wenji and retreated a few steps to a sheltered place.

At this time, several people nearby also realized that the situation was wrong, and they all panicked.

Mr. Xun immediately said, "Go back to the city quickly."

Those people immediately ran to the city according to his words, and some of them asked Mr. Xun to run to the city together.

Mr. Xun was as safe as a mountain, shook his head lightly and said: "I have my own way to deal with it, you go first."

Those people respected Mr. Xun like a god, and after hearing his words, they were immediately full of confidence and ran towards the city without looking back.

After persuading those people to leave, that Mr. Xun also took a few steps back to hide in a safe place.He said to Song Ci and Cai Wenji: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, please leave quickly, they are here for me and will not pester others."

Song Ci ignored him, took the soft sword back to his waist, and drew out his bow and arrow.Before, she specifically asked Wang Yun to set the bow and arrow into a folded style so that it could be carried and hidden with her, and it came in handy at this time.

Song Ci shoots an arrow with a bow, and the first person to shoot is the person in the distance, who shoots a dark arrow in this direction.The so-called capture the thief first and capture the king, one must first clean up the person who can snipe others from a long distance.At the juncture of life and death, Song Ci thanked again in his heart, the archery master who almost shot her and Xu Sheng to death with one arrow.If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have made up my mind to practice archery hard.

A few people in the distance were moving at high speed, and those who shot in the back were naturally prepared for long-range sniping.When moving his position at high speed, he kept looking for hiding places to avoid being directly exposed to the enemy.

If it was before, Song Ci might have to work hard to get him.Now, her arrows can pierce through walls, and the forests in the mountains are naturally no problem.While the man was hiding behind a tree, Song Ci shot an arrow, piercing the tree trunk, and directly hitting the man's hand.Screams came from afar.Song Ci shot several arrows in succession without taking his eyes off it.Enemies were shot in hands and feet one after another, losing the ability to move quickly.

Song Ci immediately put away his bow and arrow, and said in a low voice, "Go, go behind the grave."

The three of them retreated along the tomb, avoiding the sight of the enemy by the cover of the hill.

With pursuers behind, naturally they can no longer stay in the city.Mr. Xun seemed to have a good understanding of the terrain here, and took Song Ci and the others to hide in a dense forest.The strange thing is that although there are towering trees here, there are not many poisonous snakes and beasts.There is still thick fog floating in the forest, blocking people's sight.

Before entering this dense forest, Mr. Xun picked off some weed branches and leaves, and asked Song Ci and the others to keep them in his mouth.After entering the dense forest, Mr. Xun took them around for a long time, but he didn't know how to go, so he walked out of the dense forest.At the edge of the mountain forest, a big river meanders down, and it seems to have no end as far as the eye can see.

When we got to the river, Mr. Xun turned around and said to them, "This is a tributary of the Danshui River. You can go down the river to Xiangyang and other places. You can go forward from here without the danger of getting lost."

Cai Wenji was still in shock at this moment, Song Ci helped her to rest on the bank of the river.Probably because the loss of her husband was too much of a blow, Cai Wenji was still immersed in her own grief and didn't care much about her surroundings.

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Song Ci asked, "How do you know we're going to the south?"

"The north room is the direction of Chang'an City. The two faces look dusty, and they probably came from the north. Now that Dong Zhuo occupies Chang'an, the people are fleeing south, and those who abandon the south and go north are very few."

Song Ci nodded, and asked again: "Those people came to chase you just now, didn't they come from Chang'an City? Why did they chase you?"

"I resigned my official position and returned to my hometown. I left Chang'an because I thought it would be unacceptable."

Hearing this, Song Ci had some inexplicable premonition in his heart.The man in front of him was surnamed Xun, he was tall, and he was an out-and-out handsome man, so he might be the one in the legend.Song Ci sniffed it carefully again, and besides the smell of forest trees, there seemed to be a special fragrance faintly around.

Could it be such a coincidence, Song Ci thought to himself, and asked again: "Mr. says his surname is Xun. I wonder if he is from Yingchuan?"

"Exactly, my surname is Xun, and my single name is Yu, and I have the written word Wenruo. Fortunately, the girl came to the rescue just now, but I didn't ask for your surname."

Sure enough, Song Ci didn't know what to say when he met Guo Jia before, and now he met Xun Yu again.Forget about Xun Yu, after all, he used to be an official in the imperial court, and he ran away after Dong Zhuo came, so it is not unusual to meet him.But Guo Jia, didn't he always live in seclusion before he worked for Cao Cao?I have only heard about Guo Jia going to see Yuan Shao, but I have never heard of Guo Jia going to Chang'an.

For a while, Song Ci had too many questions in his mind, and he answered casually, "My name is Song Ci."

Hearing Song Ci's self-reported family name and surname, Xun Yu's eyes flashed strangely, and then said: "Thank you Miss Song for saving my life. The girl is very skilled and has the air of a chivalrous man."

"It's just a little effort, no need to thank you. I don't know where the master wants to go?"

"I want to go home."

"Mr. went to the country and left home to become an official in the court. I don't know why he abandoned the official and left?"

"It's not my wish to possess Dong Zhuo."

"I have a question. If you think the conversation is shallow and deep, you don't have to answer me. Do you think that with the current situation in the world, can the Han Dynasty have a day of revival?"

Hearing this question, Xun Yu's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Song Ci to ask such a question.After a while, he replied, "I don't know."

Hearing this, Song Ci secretly sighed.Counting the characters of the Three Kingdoms, the one who makes her feel the most difficult is Xun Yu.Whether it was mentioned by the history teacher at the beginning, or later I read history books by myself.Song Ci always felt that Xun Yu was the most contradictory among the characters of the Three Kingdoms.

Xun Yu was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan.There are eight brothers in Xun Yu's father's generation, all of whom are talented and talented, and people at that time called them the Eight Dragons of the Xun family.When it came to Xun Yu's generation, he alone carried the banner of the Xun family, leaving a strong mark in the history of the Three Kingdoms.In his early years, Xun Yu served as an official in the imperial court, but when Dong Zhuo took control of the government, he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown.Later, he voted under Cao Cao, who was not particularly powerful at the time.Since then, he has been in Cao Cao's camp, playing the roles of Xiao He and Zhang Liang.

Xun Yu not only advised Cao Cao, but also introduced many talents for him.When Cao Cao led the army to go out, he guarded the rear and governed the country, and he turned the tide several times. He was Cao Cao's real second-in-command and confidant minister.Without him, the Yingchuan Scholars Group would not have easily integrated into Cao Jun's camp and become the mainstay and think tank of the Cao Cao Group.Without him, Cao Cao would not have achieved such great achievements.

But it was such an important figure, but he and Cao Cao went further and further away, and finally parted ways.When Cao Cao proclaimed King Wei, Xun Yu, who had always been Cao Cao's strongest supporter, stood up against him alone and prevented Cao Cao from proclaiming king and emperor.At that time, Cao Cao was no longer the young man with lofty ideals who first sang volunteer soldiers and devoted himself to revitalizing the Han Dynasty.Faced with the opposition of his confidantes for many years, Cao Cao restrained himself on the surface, secretly transferred Xun Yu out of the central core, and let him die outside.

Song Ci will never forget the description of Xun Yu's death in the history books: to worry about death.

What kind of death is necessary to use such an adjective?It can be said that Xun Yu died of worry and anger.There are also many people in later generations who argue, and some people always say that Cao Cao secretly killed Xun Yu.No matter what the truth is, Song Ci always felt that Xun Yu died of disillusionment.Even if Cao Cao didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to survive after his ideals were disillusioned.How can you tell him to watch Cao Cao usurp the throne step by step and watch the banner of the Han family really collapse?

Some people call Xun Yu's death a disillusionment of idealism, while others regard him as the last loyal minister of the great man.He is really a very contradictory person.When he was advising Cao Cao, he compared Cao Cao to Liu Bang and Liu Xiu. It was he who encouraged Cao Cao's ambitions, and he was also the one who came out to stop Cao Cao from plotting to usurp him.

Song Ci was once very confused about what he was thinking.It is said that his heart is in the Han Dynasty, but he also did his best when he advised Cao Cao without reservation.Said that he was loyal to Cao Cao, he went back and forth between Cao Cao and the Han Dynasty several times, and finally broke up with Cao Cao because of this.

Some people said that he still had fantasies about Cao Cao, and he didn't realize it until he broke up with Cao Cao. He resented that he wanted to restore the Han Dynasty, but became the biggest driver of the Han Dynasty's demise, so he died of grief and anger.Song Ci would never believe that such a person who can see through people's hearts said that he couldn't see through Cao Cao's intentions, even ghosts would not believe it.But he knew Cao Cao's intentions clearly, and he wanted to add fuel to the flames and accelerate Cao Cao's erosion of the Han Dynasty.When Cao Cao's desire swelled to the extreme, he knew that the Han Dynasty could not be revived, but he stood up and tried to save the Han Dynasty.

What is Xun Yu thinking?Song Ci never understood.This question has always been hidden in Song Ci's heart, but unfortunately she never had the chance to figure it out.

If you knew this earlier, would you still help Cao Cao or oppose Cao Cao?

This was the question Song Ci most wanted to ask him.Due to a chance meeting, Song Ci had the opportunity to have a direct dialogue with Xun Yu.It's a pity that even if you ask now, nothing has happened yet, and the answer that Xun Yu can give now is not the real answer.

With such a complicated state of mind, Song Ci didn't know what to say.When she met Guo Jia before, she didn't feel so entangled.After all, even though Guo Jia died young, he was still benevolent.Whether in Cao Cao's heart or in the hearts of many people in later generations, his short life was extremely wonderful, and he lived up to this life.

As for Xun Yu, this handsome, elegant, Wang Zuo-style celebrity who was impeccable both in appearance and intellect, left behind many regrets both before and after his life.If he was not so loyal to the Han Dynasty and could adapt to the current situation, he would not have ended up like that and died of sorrow and anger.But if he is really like that, how many people will still sigh indignantly after reading the history books?

Perhaps for Xun Yu, it may be as full of contradictions as history books.He was not only recorded as a Han official in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", but also relegated to the Wei official position, ranking first in the biographies of civil officials in "Three Kingdoms·Book of Wei".

Song Ci looked at Xun Yu who was calm and calm in front of him, he hesitated to speak.After a long time, thousands of words finally converged into one sentence: "Sir, although we met by chance, I have something to say from the bottom of my heart, so please listen to it. I believe in one sentence most in my life: Be ashamed of everything, and if you are ashamed, please have no regrets."
