Chapter 975

"Ah?"

Xun Yu was surprised, but it was not that there were swords and other things in the brocade box. Bai Qi, the God of war of the Qin state, objected to attacking Handan city. As a result, he was demoted to be a pawn. King Zhaoxiang of Qin did not intend to let him go and ordered a short sword to be given to Baiqi. Bai Qi understood the meaning of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, so he committed suicide by cutting his throat.

In the brocade box, there is an empty bowl, which is really confusing.

In fact, Cao Cao loved to play this trick. For example, in his story with Yang Xiu, he wrote a living on the door to show that the door was too wide, and he wrote "Yihe Su" on the crisp to make people share the food.

Even taishici, who was far away in Jiangdong, received Cao Cao's suggestion: at that time, taishici was ordered by sun CE to control the south for Jianchang Duwei and resist Liu Pan's invasion. Cao Cao gave him a gift of "Angelica", which suggested that he should go north to return to himself.

And this empty bowl, the bowl is the eating utensil, the empty bowl also represents no rice to eat.

Xun Yu couldn't believe it. After a long time, he couldn't help crying.

"Xunzi has no money to eat today."

Xunzi sighed and put down the brocade box, holding his hand to a small box.

In April of the 15th year of Jian'an, the book of history made Xunzi seriously ill and died suddenly. The Prime Minister Cao Cao and the son of heaven, Liu Bian, were in great pain. They pursued Xunzi's merits before his death, and named him Taifu and presented him to yinghou.

In May, the ministers urged Cao Cao to be the Duke of Qi. The emperor Liu Bian granted Jiuxi the title of Duke of Qi, and took seven counties such as Donglai and Beihai as the fiefdoms of Qi.

Luoyang.

"Xunzi died, and Cao Cao was granted the title of Duke of Qi. Alas..." Liu Ye sighed. Looking at the situation of the Three Kingdoms, there were so few loyal and loyal Han ministers. All the so-called Alliance forces of Dukes on the 18th route of Guandong were ambitious. Even Liu Bei, who was bent on reviving the Han Dynasty, made himself an emperor at the last moment. He could really be regarded as a minister of the Han Dynasty. I'm afraid there was only one Xunzi who used his life to stop Cao Cao's usurpation of the throne.

"Wen Ruo is a true gentleman, and all civil and military officials vie to persuade him to advance, but Wen Ruo is the only one who tries to stop him and scold Cheng Yu. He is a real husband." Guo Jia sighed: "pity Wen Ruo, sad Wen Ruo!"

The relationship between Guo Jia and Xun Yu was very good. Both of them were from Yingchuan, and both had worked under Yuan Shao's account. After the death of the dramatist, Cao Cao asked Xunzi who could plan military affairs for himself. Xun did not hesitate to recommend Guo Jia. However, Guo Jia and Cao Cao were like friends at first sight, just like fish in water. Xun Yu was not jealous of Guo Jia's "competition for favors", but he still tried his best to assist Cao Cao.

Although Jia Xu had no deep relationship with Xunzi, he could not help but exclaimed: "Xunzi is indeed a minister of Han Dynasty, but he is not compatible with Cao Cao."

Guo Jia suddenly remembers something. She can't help standing up and bowing down to Liu Ye, grabbing the ground with her head.

"Filial piety, what are you doing?" Liu Ye is surprised to see Guo Jia suddenly perform this ceremony. He wants to help Guo Jia up.

"Please promise Jia, or Jia can't get up." Guo Jia said solemnly.

"I promise you, why should I do this?" Liu Ye blames the way.

When he was granted the title of marquis, he could be regarded as a loner. What's more, Liu Ye's title is already a public one, only below the level of emperor and king, far beyond Hou. Naturally, he can call himself lonely.

Guo Jia sighed: "Gongda is Wen ruo's nephew. They are quite similar in character. If the Duke of Qin is in the future... I'm afraid Gongda will be like Wenruo. Please keep Gongda in any case."

Although Xun you is more than ten years older than Xun Yu, he is his nephew, and he is not an ordinary nephew. He is really close to each other. Unlike Cao Ren and Cao Hong, although they are Cao Cao's brothers, they are only Cao Cao's younger brother, not his own brother. Cao De, who was killed with Cao song, is Cao Cao's brother.

When Xun Yu died, Guo Jia didn't want Xunyou, who was similar in character to Xun Yu, to suffer the same fate. As a matter of fact, Xun you died long before Cao Cao granted him the title. Otherwise, he and his nephew would have to go the same way.

Liu Ye is stunned, and then he can't help laughing.

"What does Gu Dang have to say in filial piety? That's why."

Liu Ye said solemnly: "don't worry about filial piety. Gongda is the old man of solitary soldiers. I swear here that if you do harm to Gongda and Qing, you will be punished by heaven! "

Guo Jia was moved and said, "thank you very much."

Many of his advisers are also moved. Although I don't know whether Liu Ye will be like Liu Bang in the future, it is extremely rare to be willing to make such a promise. Moreover, the more noble people in ancient times, the less able they were to speak freely. As the saying goes, "the son of heaven has no joking words", since Liu Ye dares to say so, he naturally has the confidence to do so.

Liu Ye said slowly: "Lord Qin, now that Cao Cao sent assassins to assassinate Duke Qin and dare to call himself Duke Qi, it's really immoral. Our army can lead the army to attack Cao Cao and rectify the world!"

After 20 years of eastern expedition and western war, numerous princes, such as Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, Sun Quan, Gongsun Du, and so on, had already died and their country was destroyed. Only Liu Ye and Cao Cao were left in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. Liu Ye can't wait for the civil and military personnel under Liu Ye's account. Now the Luoyang imperial court has surpassed the Pengcheng court in terms of prestige, military strength and population. At this time, it has not sent troops. When will we wait?However, Liu Ye shook his head: "no, it will be summer soon. The weather is hot, and the soldiers will be miserable in the battle. Secondly, our army has just experienced several regional wars, and the loss of food and grass is not a good opportunity to appease Cao Cao."

"In my opinion, it's better to wait until the summer and autumn harvest, after the harvest of grain and grass, and take advantage of the bright and clear weather in autumn, and then take advantage of the situation to advance, wipe out Cao's army and rectify the world at one stroke!" Liu Ye said in a deep voice.

"But in autumn, in March, it will be winter, and I am afraid it will be even more unfavorable for the war?" Guo Jia objected: "and Liaodong is bitter and cold, winter is more difficult to forge ahead."

The weather in Liaodong, which is now Liaoning Province, is of course cold. During the Three Kingdoms period, Gongsun's family was able to occupy Liaodong for many years, and Emperor Yangdi of Sui Dynasty failed to launch three expeditions to Liaodong, all of which were related to the weather.

"No harm. From now on, we will sew winter clothes for the soldiers and be ready for a long-term war." Liu Ye ordered.

If there is no accident, there will be a far-reaching drought in the Central Plains this year. If there is not enough food and grass, it will not only be insufficient for the military, but also unable to help the people. Therefore, Liu Ye did not order the whole army to attack.

Hearing Liu Ye's foresight and foresight, he admires all the civil and military personnel under his tent. At this time, a guard outside the door rushed in and yelled, "someone asks to see Duke Qin!"
