Chapter 2197 Subdued

Xun Yu was most happy when he was in power.

When she saw Xun Yu, Liu He seemed to see his close relatives, with smiles on his crooked corners. She stood up again and toasted Xun Yu, which made Xun Yu feel a little unbearable. In addition, Sun Ce and Guo Jia accidentally drank a little too much.

Sun Ce originally planned to have a deep chat with Xun Yu, but seeing Xun Yu a little drunk, he was afraid that he could not talk anymore, so he had to order someone to send Xun Yu back first. Liu He rushed to answer. She was summoned and brought a carriage with two maids around him, who could escort Xun Yu back. Sun Ce understood her mood and agreed happily.

Xun Yu politely declined Liu He's support, bowed to Sun Ce, and walked forward along the long curved corridor with Liu He's company.

Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu's background and was a little worried. "He won't fall into the water, right?"

Sun Ce also took a look and was not relieved. He signaled Ling Tong to take care of Xu Chu and escorted Xun Yu to the shore. If he fell into the water and drowned, his words would be wasted today. Seeing that Sun Ce took it seriously, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing.

"Don't worry, if Xun Wen was drunk, he would not drown in the water. Don't look at him as gentle as he is, the water is very good. It's no problem to swim around Gebi back and forth, and one can pierce down at least five or six feet away."

Sun Ce was surprised. "So powerful? I really didn't see it."

"The people in the Xun family are hidden and not exposed, not showing mountains or water." Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and looked relieved. "But I can see that he was really impressed by the king today. He was convinced, as if he was seventy sons of Confucius."

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Is it so beautiful today that I want to ask me to open my mouth and not reveal your private money? You are so filial to me. You have been well recuperated in the past few years, but you can't relax because of this. Drinking less wine is better, and excessive amounts will hurt the liver and kidneys. It's better to be more modest."

"Yes, yes, what the king said, I will keep it in mind."

"Hmph, it's weird if you believe it. You can't just say the private money. You can hand over the privately hidden wine glass, otherwise you will have to look good. Tell me, what happened, can you hurry up to come?"

Guo Jia put away his smile, took out a document from his sleeve, and handed it to Sun Ce. Sun Ce took it and saw that the corner of his eyes jumped involuntarily. There were three cinnabars indicating emergency situations on it from Jiaozhou.

No wonder Lu Xun didn't deal with it, so he wanted to ask Guo Jia to come forward. Lu Xun is the right military advisor, in charge of Jingzhou and Yanzhou affairs, and Guo Jia is directly responsible for Jiaozhou. It is also reasonable in terms of division of labor. Of course, it is not true that Guo Jia was invited overnight, and when he was communicating with Xun Yu, it is probably not true that Lu Xun had no thoughts at all.

Guo Jia and Xun Yu stood together, and the power of the Ruying faction was not to be said. Of course, the anxiety of the Jiangdong faction, especially the Wujun faction, was self-evident. They were even a little nervous, and they were all in war. The sensitive and fragile hearts needed comfort in urgent need of comfort.

"What will happen in Jiaozhou?" Sun Ce felt heavy as he held the official document.

"Jiaozhou has always handled most of its affairs on its own and did not easily ask the Central Army for instructions. This time, a sudden emergency was naturally a big deal. King, you must be mentally prepared."

Sun Ce's heart skipped a beat. "Did you defeat the war?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Liu Yao and the Shi family colluded to set up an ambush. The General of the Cavalry was trapped and seriously injured."

Sun Ce took a deep breath, held his breath for a while, and slowly spit it out. He opened the official document, read it carefully in the light, frowned, and pondered for a long time. "Fengxiao, I want to go back to Wuxian."

Guo Jia nodded. "Secret Zhang, Xiang Yu, let's go together, leave the three generals behind, with Chen and Lu Xun here, nothing will happen."

Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia for a moment and agreed. He paused and said, "If Hua Tuo goes to Jiaozhou, no one is better than him in treating this kind of injury."

Sitting in the carriage, Xun Yu looked at Liu He with the soft lights.

Liu He was a little tired. She lowered her head, fiddled with the handkerchief, without saying a word.

"Princess, thank you for your hard work." Xun Yu sat upright and bowed his hands to salute.

"It's nothing. I've expected this day to come so quickly." She turned to look outside, her eyes shrank. "It's all because Liu Ye was overestimating his abilities and greedy for merit and making a rash progress. As a result, he was defeated. His Majesty died, but he escaped unscrupulously."

Xun Yu was speechless. He also had objections to Liu Ye, but he could not say it in front of Liu He. Guo Jia had already reminded him that Sun Ce would first use the Jiangdong Group, and then the Jianghuai Group. As a native of Jianghuai, Liu Ye had a close relationship with Lu Su, so it was almost inevitable that he would re-emphasize. It was not a good thing for Liu He to hold a grudge against Liu Ye. With Liu Ye's scheming, Liu He not only could not hurt him, but might have blamed himself.

Seeing Xun Yu not speaking, Liu He suddenly felt a little uneasy and quickly explained: "Lingjun, I don't mean to blame you, don't misunderstand me."

Xun Yu waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Princess, Your Majesty died young, and Liu Ye and I are both responsible. Thinking about it now, we don't know the strength of our opponents. They are just like Yugong who is digging mountains. They seem to be persevering, but in fact they are ignorant. If you want to succeed, you can only rely on God's mercy. Unfortunately, God has abandoned the great man."

"The great man... is it really dead?"

Xun Yu nodded, thinking of the past when he met Sun Ce just now, he sighed sincerely. "This is God's will, and it cannot be violated by human power. Compared to Liu Ye's overestimation, I made a bigger mistake. If I could understand the new policy more and know that the gap between the two sides' strength was so big, I would never agree to Your Majesty's departure from the seclusion to fight, at least not now."

Liu He sighed. "Lingjun, it's useless. How could he be willing to do it if he doesn't try it? After all, the battlefield is a battlefield, and the outcome does not depend entirely on strength. He has an obsession and will never give up because of the huge gap in strength between the two sides. He will only bet and put it to death and live a life."

Xun Yu smiled bitterly. After all, he was a sister who depended on each other. Although Liu He was not smart, he knew Liu Xie's character very well. She was right. Even if Liu Xie knew Sun Ce's true strength, he would not give up. Now this result is almost inevitable. If you seek benevolence, you will not complain. Let him go over the past, and living people should focus on the future.

The future will be better. The Chinese clothes and clothes reborn like a phoenix will benefit the world and transform virtue into the world. Unfortunately, the late emperor cannot see it.

May his spirit in heaven rest in peace.

A little tears flashed across Xun Yu's eyes.

The two were silent. Unconsciously, the carriage slowly stopped and someone opened the car door. Xun Yu turned around and saw Chen Qun standing in front of the car, bowing to Liu He. "Princess, I'm working."

"It's okay." Liu He stood up, greeted Chen Qun, and reached out to help Xun Yu. Xun Yu got up, took Chen Qun's hands and got out of the car. Liu He said goodbye again, closed the car door, and the carriage slowly drove away.

Chen Qun was quite surprised when he smelled the strong smell of alcohol. Xun Yu was not addicted to alcohol, and today he went to see Sun Ce again. Even if he drinks, he would be very restrained. How could he drink like this? Even his steps were a little vague. He didn't say anything, and helped Xun Yu into the door. As soon as he arrived at the atrium, Xun Wenqian came over and was surprised to see Xun Yu like this.

"Ahon, who forced you to drink like this?"

"No one forced me, I drank it myself." Xun Yu raised his arm, gently pushed Chen Qun away, tried his best to stabilize his steps, and slowly walked towards the hall. After walking two steps, he turned around again, tilted his head, and his eyes stopped on Chen Qun's face for a moment, and then fell on his daughter's face. "Is there any good tea?"

"have……"

"Go and cook some. Long article, come here, let's talk. Today I had a chat with the king, and I felt a lot of emotion. I should have talked with the candle at night, but Guo Fengxiao had urgent matters and was unable to enjoy the fun."

Chen Qun's heart moved and gave Xun Wenqian a wink. Xun Wenqian was also a smart person. He heard the strangeness and turned to prepare tea. Chen Qun and Xun Yu went to the hall and sat down. Xun Yu was a little overdoing, and his legs were out of control and could not sit directly. Chen Qun then took a few, let him lean on it, and took a thin blanket to cover his feet to avoid gains and losses.

"Long article, you have been familiar with Confucian classics since childhood, and can you tell what the biggest problem of Confucianism is?"

"Please give advice from Ahon."

"Terrend to the past and lose to the present."

Chen Qun neither agreed nor refuted, but just quietly said "Oh", a little surprised. Since he served Sun Ce, he has heard too many such remarks, but from Xun Yu's mouth, he is somewhat surprised.

"Don't you think so?" Xun Yu glanced at Chen Qun sideways and raised his lips lightly. "It's not your fault. Confucianism emphasizes learning methods and family rules. The saint's book is not easy, and the saint's words dare not disobey a word. Naturally, everything is good from the past, but he doesn't know that saints have the best of saints, and today's people have the best of today's people. Saints also know that changes with the times, how can people today be able to clutter the past without transformation."

"Aweng, whose high opinion is this?" Xun Wenqian led the maid and came over with tea. When she heard Xun Yu's words, she immediately took it.

"Today's Saint." Xun Yu raised his hand and burped. "...His Royal Highness of the King of Wu."

"Oh!" Xun Wenqian covered her lips and smiled. "Is the King of Wu famous for not studying? He is also a saint?"

"You don't understand." Xun Yu laughed and signaled Xun Wenqian to sit down. Xun Wenqian poured a cup of tea, handed it to Xun Yu, and poured another cup for Chen Qun. They sat next to Chen Qun. The two of them naturally held each other on the table. Xun Yu saw it sincerely and couldn't help but smile. "Wenqian, if he was still in Yecheng, would you hold hands with Changwen outdoors?"

"Ah Weng..." Xun Wenqian blushed, pulled her hand back, and said angrily: "How much wine did the King of Wu give you? It makes you feel like you have become a different person. You regard him as a saint, but you are joking with your daughter and son-in-law."

Xun Yu laughed. "Wenqian, I ask you, how do you write the word "Saint"?"

"The word "Saint" is written in "Shuowen Jiezi", and even children know it, how can I not know it?"

"Yes, the word "saint" is from the ear, and the ear is called "saint". In ancient times, there were no words, and there were no books. From this we can see that whether a saint is a saint has nothing to do with whether he reads or not. Books are just one of the ways for saints to preach. If a book does not have enough words, does not have the meaning, and believes in books, it is tantamount to buying a box and returning a pearl, which makes it misunderstood the true meaning of the saint."

Xun Wenfu and Chen Qun looked at each other and were surprised. Although Xun Yu's wine words were rebellious, they were justified, which sounded somewhat reasonable. But based on her understanding of Xun Yu, such criticism of the saint could never be Xun Yu's own opinion. Could it be Sun Ce?

"Ahon, who's the best of this?"

"You think it's a high opinion, do you think it's a high opinion?" Xun Yu patted his knees with emotion. "Don't be anxious. The King of Wu still has many high opinion. I will tell you one by one. For example, using chess to describe the way of governing, it is amazing."
