Fighting Luoyang, headed east and south, and rushed for three to five days, and then entered the territory of Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is rich and prosperous, with many families and famous scholars, and it is also the main residence of the Xun family in Yingchuan.

Qin Chu led the horse and walked in the front, looked back at Xun Yu, and found that he was still riding on the horse, with a calm expression on his face, so he stopped.

This team was all personal soldiers, and they were supposed to go to Yangdi step by step, but after thinking about it, Qin Chu took an extra detour and came to Yingyin where the main residence of the Xun family was located.

"I haven't seen Lord Ciming for a long time since he begged for bones last year, and I don't know how he is doing well." She sighed and waited for Xun Yu to approach before following him.She patted the head of the bay red horse, looked up at Xun Yu, and changed the topic, "Wen Ruo is exceptionally silent today, seems to have something on his mind."

Xun Yu was still attentively listening to her speech, but he seemed to be taken aback when he heard the words, and then reined in, wanting to apologise, but was stopped by Qin Chu:

"Hey, I didn't mean to blame you, you don't have to do this."

Of course she didn't stop the overly polite counselor.Xun Yu shook his head, smiled faintly at her, got off the horse smoothly, led the horse and walked a few steps side by side with her: "I just want to get off the horse and walk with the lord."

Qin Chu: "...Okay."

It was midsummer, and the millet and wheat were just ripe, and in the polder fields beside Yingchuan Road, you could still see tenant farmers bending over to harvest.Yingyin's aristocratic family is the Xun family, and they treat their tenants fairly leniently. Even though there have been continuous natural disasters in the past two years, the surrounding scenery is still beautiful.

Qin Chu and Xun Yu walked slowly in the front. The Zhaoye Jade Lion marched quietly with its head bowed without being led by anyone. Behind them was the clean-up Xiliang Jincheng Army.

She always asked the soldiers to avoid surrounding fields, so the speed of the army's advance was also compromised, but she was already thinking of delaying time and waiting for Yuan Shu, so she was not in a hurry.

Qin Chu was narrowing his eyes to watch the tenant farmers harvest millet, when he heard Xun Yu softly say:

"My lord, if you want to know the recent situation of Kong Ni and Yuzhou, you can only go to Yangdi."

"Yes, I know." She replied generously, "But Yingyin has the Xun family."

Xun Yu naturally knew that she couldn't choose to come here for the reason of "I want you to go back to my hometown to see", so he listened patiently, and he heard her chuckle again:

"How the big family treats Kong Ni will determine the time and difficulty for him to master Yuzhou. From this point of view, at least he can guess the upper limit of his adjustable supplies."

Qin Chu paused, then turned his head to look at him sharply: "Wen Ruo is unwilling to return home?"

Xun Yu didn't answer, but smiled at her.

With his self-cultivation, this has been regarded as the default.After all, Xun Wenruo's sense of morality is too high, and he can't say serious things to the enemy coach when talking about official affairs, let alone when talking about the family.

She closed her eyes, and she could probably guess the answer—Gao Wang intended to marry a daughter back then, and it is said that Xun Li agreed to it on purpose, but this matter was quite controversial within the Xun family, and Gao Wang was also lost in the eunuch suppression. If you lose your life, this matter will eventually come to an end.

"If I were you, it would be more than just 'do not want to return'." It's almost the same as directly demolishing it.

Qin Chu patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, trying to convey to him the consolation of the "non-marriageism" party, and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

"It should be here soon." Liu Bei was originally riding a horse on the road, but now he got off his horse and followed behind Qin Chu. He smiled at her, "You can see the city wall from here." , according to our speed, we can arrive before evening."

Qin Chu then also raised his head, put his five fingers together to cover his eyebrows, blocking the bright sunlight, looked over on tiptoe, and saw the Ruoxian city wall behind the layers of camphor trees.

Yuzhou is a large state in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yingchuan is a large county in Yuzhou, and Yingyin is inhabited by giants such as the Xun family, so the surrounding area is not much more depressed than the capital, and even the city walls look very good-at least compared to Yangdi better.

"Your Majesty's speed is really fast this time." She smiled inexplicably, "It seems that no matter how he avoided the battle, he was still angry when he saw Yuan Shu really came."

Liu Bei and Xun Yu smiled and said nothing, pretending they didn't hear.

It seems that these two people are planning to weld the hat of "Shihanlu" on their heads.Qin Chu was bored, so he simply ran forward a few steps, waved his hand, and called the Zhaoye Jade Lion over, turned over and stepped on it, and simply and neatly threw away the leader Cao Wei and the leader Ji Han in another timeline. After getting behind him, he patted the horse's head, hummed a tune and swayed to the other side, and went to watch the farmers cut summer wheat again.

The Zhaoye Jade Lion stomped the horse's hooves and neighed, leaving the two who were hesitating to speak a white and chic ass.

Liu Bei: "..."

Xun Yu: "..."

"...When Bei was young, he studied under Zigangong, and he also came to Yingchuan at that time, and met Ciminggong once." Liu Bei didn't know what happened, so he forced a laugh, trying to save the embarrassment by changing the subject. atmosphere of.

He has only joined the Qin and Chu camp for a few days, but he has also heard that this Xun Zhizhong is a "model gentleman" and has a different temper from those well-known dogs like Lu Bu and Ma Chao (and even the general himself), so he has made friends thought.Liu Bei paused slightly, showing a reminiscing expression, and said:

"At that time, Duke Ciming was followed by many students. I heard that besides the branch of the main family, there were also scholars from other prefectures and counties who came here admiringly. They sat in the inner city and discussed and practiced. It's the best I've ever seen in my life."

When Xun Yu was young, he followed Xun Shuang to study in Luoyang, and he was very respectful to his uncle who was a master of Confucianism. Hearing this, he smiled slightly and nodded to Liu Bei:

"Uncle teaches without discrimination, and the Xun family's children never tire of learning because of it." He said, his eyes shifted to Qin Chu who was riding in front of him, seeing her straight back as before, and his expression softened, "My lord When he was young, he returned to Luoyang alone, but his teacher was left in Langya.

Unexpectedly, I wanted to ask my uncle to teach her for a while, but my uncle said, "It is no problem to teach her brothers and sisters, but Du Fu Qiyi is too special, I am afraid it will be difficult to teach her", and finally he did not agree. "

"The general Zhuo Yi is indeed outstanding." Liu Bei sighed, "If he had entered the family school in Langya and was a classmate with the clansmen, maybe the situation later would be different."

"Maybe so. My lord lived in Fu Zhongping's mansion in Dongwu when he was young, and he didn't take a companion to study with him, nor was he accompanied by his peers, so he was different from ordinary people." Xun Yu glanced at him calmly, as if He casually asked, "Has Lieutenant Liu also had this experience?"

Liu Bei shook his head, turned his head to look at the golden wheat field beside the road, paused for a while on the weeds beside the road, and said:

"I am the only child in my family, and the other two righteous brothers met six years ago. I am ashamed to say that Bei was not a big deal when he was young. Although he has no brothers, he has many friends. It is not helpful."

"Liu Xiaowei's military exploits were outstanding when he suppressed the Yellow Turban, Yu also heard about it, so don't underestimate yourself."

"It's also thanks to my two righteous brothers who are powerful against Wanfu." Liu Bei seemed to smile wryly, and said in a low voice, "I don't know how they are in the north."

"..." Xun Yu smiled, "Sizhou is peaceful, and it is backed by Luoyang, so nothing will happen."

What kind of person Liu Bei is, it is difficult for Xun Yu, who has been with him for less than ten days, to give an answer immediately.But on the day Qin Chu accepted his refuge, she had already become vigilant in her heart—this was not aimed at Liu Bei personally, but just uncertain about the "historical inertia" itself.

After all, she doesn't have time to cook wine with green plums while playing Tai Chi with Yuan Shu... After all, she is neither a man nor a "hero". Is the tentative method of seeing if Liu Bei's chopsticks fall off really useful?

Anyway, after a brief discussion with the two counselors, Qin Chu still took Xun Yu's suggestion, took Liu Bei, the new captain with limited combat power, by his side, and sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Sizhou by the way, The three of them were barely separated.

Facing the worried Captain Liu, the "gentleman of integrity" Xun Yu remained calm and did not arouse any suspicion.Probably because Liu Bei has only defected to Gongsun Zan and Qin Chu until now. He is barely an honest person, but he was fooled like this.

The two loyal ministers, who were full of honesty and patriotism, shoved and chatted for a while, and finally followed the army to the Xun's main house in Yingyin City before sunset.

Many camphor trees were planted in the front yard of Xun's main house, probably some years old, the canopy of the tree can cover more than one house, and when you look up, you will be surrounded by verdant trees, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.

Qin Chu and Xun Shuang didn't have much contact with each other, and it was only the time when he was sent to Xuzhou when he was a baby, plus the few times he visited Xun Yu when he was eight years old.It's just that although she considers herself unfamiliar with Xun Shuang, the other party's hospitality is quite considerate:

In addition to letting the soldiers go to other courtyards to settle down, they also donated some extra food and grass, which was counted as Xun's contribution to "supporting the young emperor and resisting disobedient ministers".

Although Qin Chu's concern about "Kong Ni's adjustable animal resources" did not receive a clear answer, Xun Shuang still sent people from his clan to submit a list. They were the gentry in Yuzhou who clearly expressed their support or opposition to Kong Ni.

Just as she guessed, the Eastern Han family has always been connected by geographical ties, and Kong Ni was an airborne person who was arranged during the reign of Lingdi Dong Zhuo.

Although he is also a noble and famous person, the influence of Yanzhou's aristocratic family in Yuzhou is not as powerful as that of the locals. Therefore, although there are not many Bangchui families who explicitly oppose him, there are quite a few who really support him.

"Probably a ratio of six to four." Qin Chu frowned and flipped through the list, his eyes resting on "Runan County", and sighed faintly, "After all, it is where the main residence of the Yuan family is located. Although they will not support Kong Ni, they will I have always supported Yuan Shu himself."

Xun Yu saw that she showed a rare look of embarrassment, stretched out his hand to pour a cup of tea for her, and said with relief: "Runan and Mrs. Fu have not expressed their views."

Qin Chu glanced at him: "But Yuzhou is rich, even if only [-]% of the resources can be mobilized, the grain and grass materials in it are enough to support Yuan Shu in this battle."

Although she has a system on her body, if she really wants to do things like waving her hands to change food in full view, she will most likely have to be captured and treated as a monster by those old-fashioned people in the imperial court who thought she was not pleasing to the eye.

Not relying on the food and grass provided by the imperial court is naturally the best, but the productivity of Langya alone may not be able to support the battle - from this point of view, she is not as good as Yuan Shu.

Yuzhou's resources are indeed coveted.

Qin Chu thought for a while, then glanced at Xun Yu again, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Xun Yu, who was still adding honey to her, raised his eyes and paused with the hand holding the porcelain spoon, a little confused:

"My lord?"

"It's nothing." She touched the bridge of her nose, her eyes flicked on Xun Yu's face, and she said frankly, "I was just thinking, if I grab a boy from the Xun family and get married right away, can I also get some resources from Yudi? ..."

Xun Yu's right hand trembled, and the porcelain spoon hit the food table with a "ding", almost falling to pieces.
