No matter how eloquent Xun Yu was, he could cover up Yuan Shao's acceptance of the conferred title, but he could not cover up Yuan Shao's attempt to establish a new emperor. Because Liu Yu refused, he even refused to accept it by saying that he wanted to escape to the Huns, and Yuan Shu refused harshly, which was well known to everyone and could not hide it.

The letter Yuan Shao wrote to Yuan Shu is still in Sun Ce’s hands.

Faced with this problem, he could only remain silent, and he did not want to defend Yuan Shao. If not, he might have raised this topic on his own initiative.

Zhu Jun had nothing to say. Zhang Hong wrote a letter before, but this time he rushed to Luoyang in person for this matter. Zhang Hong proved that Sun Ce had different behaviors and had no intentions, so he should not be the target of Zhu Jun's defense. Zhu Jun has always refused to accept it. Now Zhang Hong pointed out in front of him that Yuan Shao was the real rebellion. He was speechless and could only refuse to let go of his discomfort and leave early.

The three of them parted in disagreement, but the only ones who were really unhappy were Zhu Jun, while Zhang Hong and Xun Yu cherish each other more than confrontation.

After leaving the prefect's mansion, they came to the inn together. Zhang Hong took the initiative to invite Xun Yu to have dinner and continue chatting. He was not Zhu Jun, and he knew what Xun Yu was thinking. Although Sun Ce might not be able to confront the court in the future, there was no possibility in front of him. Since Xun Yu wanted to go to Chang'an, it would be beneficial for Sun Ce to talk to him.

Smart people talk the most relaxed when talking to smart people. They tacitly avoid the high-level but meaningless topic of rebellion, but instead choose more practical topics.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Hong was very relaxed. First of all, Sun Ce did not express his intention to replace the Han Dynasty. He did a lot of things, but he always respected the Chang'an court. His exploration in Nanyang was indeed accumulating strength for himself, but it might as well be regarded as a new attempt.

There has always been a strong concept of division and governance in the Han system. The county prefect was to some extent the king of a county. Emperor Xuan of Han even said in the edict: Are there two thousand stones of the world with me? Sun Ce did not have the position of Nanyang Prefect, but he actually controlled Nanyang. He could do whatever he wanted in Nanyang as long as he did not declare his opposition to the court.

Strictly speaking, this kind of control is of course illegal, but today's situation, strictly according to the court's legal system, how many are not illegal? The court did not have the new Nanyang prefect who came, which is equivalent to acquiescing his control over Nanyang.

Xun Yu was not so relaxed. Yuan Shao’s butt was not clean, so he couldn’t wipe it off, and he was not in the mood to wipe it on Yuan Shao.

Leaving Zhu Jun's sight, Zhang Hong talked about more situations, not only telling Xun Yu the situation in Nanyang truthfully, but also telling more situations that he had seen with his own eyes or directly understood. Xun Yu was relieved when he learned about the current situation in Yingchuan.

"Is Sun Qi Ni planning to use Jingzhou as the foundation and Yuzhou as the battlefield?"

Zhang Hong looked at Xun Yu. This time, he did not avoid the problem. "If things in the world cannot be done, he can only do this."

Xun Yu didn't care too much about the righteousness. Zhang Hong had already stated in advance that this was a last resort.

"Because there is no danger to defend in Yuzhou? Or is it because the powerful families in Yuzhou do not support Sun's rebellion?"

"It has both." Zhang Hong joked. "The four Yingchuan people are famous all over the world. So far, no one of the four Xun, Chen, Zhong and Han families is willing to work with the general who seeks rebellion. Take your Xun family for example, there are many talents, but they are either in Chang'an or Yecheng. Xun Gongda is in Nanyang, eating from Nanyang and drinking from Nanyang, but he has been unwilling to come out to do things. What can the general who seeks rebellion do? Could it be that he is like Tao Gongzu?"

Xun Yu pondered silently. Chen Dengla was appointed by Yuan Shao to be the prefect of Lujiang and regarded Tao Qian as nothing. Zhang Zhao and Zhao Yu did not dare to accept Tao Qian's exclusion. These are not secrets. People in Yecheng knew about some things. He even directly participated in the planning. Sun Ce was not Tao Qian, he did not force anyone to become an official, and he rarely even took the initiative to expel someone from office. He just issued a recruitment order, and those who were willing to come, and those who were unwilling would not force him.

This seems negative, but it is important to maintaining stability in Yuzhou. He showed stability that is not consistent with his age, and did better than Sun Jian.

But, is he really negative? Xun Yu originally thought this was the case, but when he saw Zhang Hong, he felt that Sun Ce might not be as simple as seeking stability.

"Although Tao Gongzu is over 60 years old, he is stronger and stronger. He has no courage at all. This way of being a noble and weak person is far less than Sun's rebellion. However, Sun's rebellion may be full of talents, and he doesn't care about me, Ru Ying people? After all, with a talent like Mr. Zigang, it is understandable that ordinary people are difficult to catch their eyes."

Seeing Xun Yu also joked and changed his name, Zhang Hong couldn't help laughing. "Wen Ruo, Sun Huiji said that if you are willing to work with him, whether it is Yuzhou Prefecture or General Staff, you will choose any position."

"I am ashamed of my gratitude for my rebellion and love, but I am ashamed of my desperation." Xun Yu declined with a smile. "Mr. Zigang, I have a pretentious statement, I hope you will forgive me."

"you say."

"Will Sun Ting to Rebel against this move behave like Zheng Boke's story?"

Zhang Hong did not answer Xun Yu's question. He put away his smile and thought for a moment.

"Wen Ruo, in fact, it is not appropriate to say that Sun's rebellion is not used by Ru Ying people. You should have read the ancient stele of Zishu and Hu Kongming in Yecheng. Are they the two of them the talented men of your Yingchuan? Moreover, Hu Kongming was not invited by General Sun rebellion. He went to Wancheng by himself at the invitation of Zishu of Handan. Zhao Boran and Du Zixu are both from you Yingchuan, so there is no need to say Zhao Boran. After he followed Sun rebellion, he did not hesitate. However, Du Zixu once abandoned his official position and personally tried to retain Sun rebellion, but he refused. But when he arrived in Yingchuan, he heard that Sun rebellion was in Pingyu to recruit talents, so he rushed over. Now he is in Pei State, and he is diligent in his position and has been trusted by Sun rebellion."

"So, Sun's rebellion is not about not using people, but about staying and leaving?"

"That's right, in his words, a forced melon is not sweet. Only like-minded people can cooperate for a long time."

Xun Yu sighed lightly: "It is really rare to have such a strong spirit at such a young age. Mr. Zigang can be happy to meet the wise master."

Zhang Hong looked at Xun Yu without saying anything, but his eyes were clear. He hoped that Xun Yu could change his mind and serve Sun Ce, even if he went to Pingyu to meet Sun Ce. Xun Yu was moved, but he still refused cruelly.

"Sun Hao Ni has the assistance of Mr. Zi Gang, who is both moral and professional, will definitely become a pillar of the country in the future. As for me, I still want to go to Chang'an to take a look. If I can do my best, it will be considered as living up to the teachings of my father and grandfather. If I succeed, I will unite with Mr. Zi Gang internally and externally to promote the Han Dynasty. If I fail, I will become an enemy of Mr. Zi Gang, take the world as a meter, and talk about a game by hand, which is also a blessing in life."

Zhang Hong was a little disappointed, but then became excited again. He looked at Xun Yu and chuckled softly, "Okay, if the two kings and masters are not capable of turning the tide, it can only be said that God has his own decisiveness, and it is not human power to do it. On that day, I can let go and decide the outcome with you."

Xun Yu bowed and gave a deep gift.
