Shi Sun Rui was prepared, and sat down on the edge of the couch without any haste and patted Wang Yun's hand. Wang Yun's bones were as thin as a hairy man, and his loose skin was pressed against the bones, like an old man in the evening, but he was actually only fifty-six years old and was not yet in his sixties.

"Duke, are you so persistent? Is it for the world, for the country, or for yourself?"

"Why, don't you know?"

"It is precisely because I know that I feel that your persistence is incomprehensible."

"What does Jun Rong mean?"

"Why don't you listen to Xun Yu's plan and then make a decision? The situation has become a dead end at this point, and we can't continue to be stalemate like this. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are stalemates, but the Sun family and his son emerged in Yuzhou. Zhou Yu went south and entered Nanjun. Liu Xun was just a mediocre person and was not Sun Ce. Zhou Yu's opponent this winter and next spring, Jiangxia, Nanjun must be owned by Sun Ce, and he can't wait any longer."

Wang Yun's originally flushed face quickly became darker again, and the spirit in his eyes also disappeared without a trace. He sent Zhao Qi to travel east to hope that Yuan Shao would travel west to serve the king and take charge of the government. However, Yuan Shao repeatedly rejected his suggestions, forcing him not to take back his life and lose all his face.

In the battle of Junyi, Zhu Jun showed exhaustion and could only watch Sun Ce and Yuan Tan deal with Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan repelled Sun Ce and occupied Yanzhou. Sun Ce also built a northern defense line and began to put pressure on the powerful families in the Yuzhou. First, he confiscated the Cao family, and then confiscated the Cai family. Next, he did not know who would be against his opponent. Although he was young, he was calm, skilled in his methods, and used both soft and hard methods, which made the Yuzhou family dare not act rashly. In time, Yuzhou might not be able to be controlled by him.

Yuan Shao did not see this, and he obviously did not realize who his real opponent was. Gongsun Zan was just an excuse to invade Jizhou. He had already expressed his willingness to accept mediation from the court. Yuan Shao should take this opportunity to go west to serve the king, control the government affairs in his hands, and retreat to the second best. He should also rush his troops south to attack Yuzhou personally, and not give the Sun family father and son a chance to gain a foothold.

He is losing the best opportunity. Once Sun Ce controls Jingzhou, he will have a foothold and the capital to confront Yuan Shao. Even if Yuan Shao can finally defeat the Sun family father and son, it will inevitably be a protracted and bitter battle. Jingzhou and Yuzhou have suffered heavy losses and will not be able to recover their vitality in more than ten years.

As Shi Sun Rui said, the current situation has become a dead end. Yuan Shao turned a deaf ear to his suggestions and insisted on his own. He had no choice but to look at Xun Yu's plan.

"Tell me, let me see what tricks and strategies the Wang Zuozhi mentioned by He Boqiu have."

Shi Sun Rui ignored the hostility hidden in Wang Yun's tone and slowly told Xun Yu's plan. After Xun Yu received the permission of the emperor, he rushed to his house in person, revealed the plan, and asked for his support. Shi Sun Rui had no prejudice against Xun Yu. He had a good relationship with Xun Shuang. He had heard Xun Shuang talk about Xun Yu before, saying that he and Xun You, Xun Yue were the talent among the young people of the Xun family. He also had a deep friendship with He Yong and knew that He Yong had a high evaluation of Xun Yu. Although Xun Yu's mother was Tang Heng's daughter, this was at most a small flaw of white jade and could not cover up Xun Yu's own light.

Shi Sun Rui was a strategy man, otherwise Wang Yun would not have joined forces with him to eliminate Dong Zhuo, but after hearing Xun Yu's plan, he was still amazed and ashamed of himself. Xun Yu's plan was planned to the world, looking at the long term, not in a hurry, and having considerable feasibility. Not only did he magnify the emperor's moral advantages to the extreme, but he also opposed the public's objections and regarded the capital of Guanzhong, regarded the court as a force that fought for the dominance of the world, had the courage to cut off his arm, and had the courage to face reality. Not to mention treating warriors equally, treating Kanto and Kansai people equally.

This is exactly the pragmatic attitude that many scholars lack. They always feel that morality can dominate the world with their hands. Shi Sun Rui is a scholar, but he is also a Kansai man in the traditional sense. He cannot agree with the Kansai man's conceit, and he is also worried about the Kansai man being suppressed for no reason, and always feels unfair. Xun Yu was able to face this problem and try to solve it. He was very concerned about his thoughts and suddenly narrowed the distance between them.

This is why he came to persuade Wang Yun in person. He was once Wang Yun's right-hand man and was very close friends. Looking around the world, he is probably the only one who can persuade Wang Yun now. He is the one who truly understands Wang Yun's mind.

After explaining Xun Yu's plan, Shi Sun Rui did not urge Wang Yun to express his opinion, but waited patiently. He knew that Wang Yun was just stubborn and had a vision, otherwise Guo Tai would not have praised him as the talent of the king and the master. Now that the two generations of king and the master are in exchange for psychological exclusion and hostility, they are inevitable, but their goals are the same, both for the world, for the people, for the future of the Confucian school, rather than for personal fame and fortune.

Wang Yun is a party member, but Xun Yu is also a party member. The Xun family is a famous party member in Ruying. Since Xun Shu, they have been closely related to the party members.

Wang Yun didn't speak for a long time. He didn't like Xun Yu, and Xun Yu's plan was different from his plan, but he couldn't say that Xun Yu's plan was not good. He even thought that Xun Yu's plan was a genius idea. He had such insights at his thirty years old and deserved to be the talent of Wang Zuo as recognized by He Yong.

Wang Yun sighed unconsciously, his expression dim. The biggest difference between Xun Yu's plan and his layout is to respect the king. Xun Yu gave up Yuan Shao and decided to respect the court. It is conceivable that once Xun Yu takes power, the court will regard Yuan Shao as his biggest enemy. Maybe Xun Yu did not say anything about Shi Sun Ruiming, maybe Xun Yu said it, but Shi Sun Rui concealed it. They did not mention how to deal with Yuan Shao, but he could see at a glance that the biggest opponent in Xun Yu's plan was not the Sun family father and son, but Yuan Shao. Once the Sun family father and son surrendered to the court, the next step was to besiege Yuan Shao.

This is almost inevitable. Although the Sun family's father and son performed well, their foundation was too thin. They did not have the confidence and strength to not take the court seriously like Yuan Shao. They would pay tribute to the court and shift the court's attention to Yuan Shao and wait for an opportunity to make a profit. This should be their best choice.

"Jun Rong, Yuan Shao is the hope of our party members." Wang Yun was almost begging.

Shi Sun Rui said lightly: "Yes, we all thought so, why didn't Xun Yu? He went to Yecheng first and then to Chang'an. He came to Chang'an with such a handsome man from Yecheng. He and the emperor did not hit it off at first sight, but had been together for several months and talked deeply for several days before making a decision. Don't you think this can explain the problem? Prince, we have all misunderstood. Yuan Shao is not the wise master we hope for. He deceived you, he deceived us, and deceived the people of the world."

He paused and sighed again: "Prince, I often dreamed of Grand Tutor Yuan recently. How do you think Yuan Shao will treat this matter in the future? How do we face Grand Tutor Yuan under the underworld? For Yuan Shao, dozens of people in the Yuan family died in a bad life. Can we really have a clear conscience?"

Wang Yun closed his eyes tightly, his face turned gray and his breath was as heavy as a cow. After a while, he suddenly thrust his body, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his chest was red, which was shocking.
