Seeing that Huang Yi was full of confidence, Liu Xun was overjoyed and quickly invited Huang Yi to the hall to take a seat.

"Please give me some details."

Huang Yi was calm and enjoying Liu Xun's respect, and said slowly: "Do you still remember the imperial edict from the king not long ago?"

Liu Xun nodded. However, he actually didn't understand what the meaning of Huang Yi's introduction of this edict was. First of all, the edict was not given to him. Liu Xun was not in the eyes of the ministers in Chang'an. He knew that the edict of the king was passed through Xinpi. However, this matter was left unresolved. Huang Yi mentioned it again at this time, what does it have to do with the war in Nanjun and Jiangxia?

"There are only two people who have high hopes for the court: Zhu Jun, the governor of Jizhou. The Taiwei is powerless, and only the Sun father and son can rely on, but the Sun father and son are unwilling to do their best. The Taiwei can only sigh in Chang'an. As for Yuan Shao, he didn't know why, but he did not take any action, so the imperial edict had to be left unresolved. The imperial court was so powerful that there was no complaint? Jizhou was far away and the court was out of reach. In addition, the court was full of party members, even if the emperor wanted to issue an edict and blame Yuan Shao, no one would be willing to write it. But can Sun Ce compare with Yuan Shao? Who can speak for them in the court? The court wanted to make such anger, not cause trouble for him, who would cause trouble for him?"

Liu Xun understood a little. "What do you mean is to ask the court to send troops and attack Nanyang County from Wuguan Road?"

"That's right."

"This is one way, and there are two more?"

"What is the impression of the general of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan?"

"Famous scholars, royal family, well, I heard that the career path was going smoothly and the officials were very good."

"What else?"

"besides?"

"The general doesn't know why Liu Yan became the governor of Yizhou?"

Liu Xun looked confused and looked at Huang Yi who was proud of himself. Huang Yi was originally Yuan Shu's son-in-law, and he was indeed more informed than him. But so what? You are now separated from Yuan Quan and are no longer Yuan Shu's son-in-law. Without this advantage, you are a powerful man in Jiang Xia. What's so proud of you?

Seeing that Liu Xun's expression was wrong, Huang Yi also reacted and felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly said, "Liu Yan had a strange ambition. He initially wanted to go to Jiaozhou. Later, he heard that the Shizhong Dong Fuzhong Yizhou had a pride, so he changed his request to Yizhou. After entering Yizhou, he intended to establish his prestige. He first sent someone to occupy Hanzhong, and then killed Jia Long, who was in seclusion and did not listen to the orders of the court. I heard from people from Yizhou that he was still building carriages in Yizhou, and his intention to be unofficial was already revealed. At this time, if the general asked him to go east to Xiangyang, would he not want to?"

Liu Xun pinched his finger and thought for a while. "Since Liu Yan has the intention of being unjust, how could he send troops with the court?"

"The court sent troops from Wuguan, and Liu Yan came from Hanzhong. The two had no connection, so what's wrong?"

"Even so, it's only two ways, and there's one way?"

Huang Yi suppressed the contempt in his heart. "Did the general forget to surround Wei and save Zhao?"

Liu Xun rolled his eyes and suddenly realized. "The third route you are talking about is me? But... how can I go to Wancheng? Deng Zhan is in Huyang area, Li Tong is in Pingchun, and we can't get through at all. Even if we go to Xiangyang, it's not possible. There are also large troops stationed in Xiangyang City. How can we, more than 10,000 people, break through Xiangyang?"

"Who said we were going to attack Xiangyang City?" Huang Yi shook his head repeatedly. "Can Zhou Yu still attack Jiangling with peace of mind after learning that Xiangyang was attacked? He must withdraw his troops. Our army lies in the area of ​​Xianshan and attacks him when Zhou Yu passes. If we can succeed, we will attack Xiangyang. If we cannot succeed, the siege of Jiangling will be resolved without fighting. We are safe and sound. Our army can return as soon as possible."

Liu Xun smiled. "This is indeed a solution. Zimei, you use this plan well and well. This scholar is a scholar, and he has a lot of mind. Unlike us martial artists who only know how to cut people with a knife."

Huang Yi smiled and said, "General is brave, I am good at making plans. As long as you and I work together, what can Sun Ce do to me?"

"That's right, that's right." Liu Xun bowed. "Zimei, I'll leave this matter to you."

"I wish to serve the general."

——

In Xianshan, Guo Jia and Xun You stood side by side, looking at the Han River that was winding like a silver belt on the east side, and were in a daze.

Although they are all from Yingchuan, they were not well-known before and did not know much about each other. Guo Jia did not hear Xun You's name until he joined Sun Ce. Xun You was similar. He realized that he was a master when he saw Guo Jia being valued under Sun Ce's command, but they still had no communication until Guo Jia came from Runan.

The two of them hit it off when they saw it, and after a few words, they knew each other's background and suddenly became conscious. After a few days of meeting, the two talked about the general trend of the world. Xun You didn't talk much and listened to Guo Jia for most of the time, but occasionally one or two sentences could hit the point, making Guo Jia feel like a soulmate.

The separation was about to happen, and both of them were reluctant to part with each other. Although they were both Sun Ce's subordinates, Sun Ce asked Guo Jia to bring news, allowing Xun You to be with Zhou Yu and give advice to Zhou Yu. For a long time, it was difficult for them to have the opportunity to work together.

"Gongda, before leaving, I have a few heartfelt words to say to you. The general who fought against rebels has ambitions for the whole world. Zhou Gongjin is his right-hand man, and his expectations are very high. In the future, it will be a responsibility for one side. There is no difference between your assistant Zhou Gongjin and assisting the general. Although Yuzhou is not yet stable, Yingchuan is a must-fight place, and General Sun will never give up. Your Xun family bets on three sides, and your bet seems the lightest, but in fact it is the heaviest. You must seize this opportunity."

"Thank you, Fengxiao, for reminding me. It's just that my father died early and my eldest father has passed away. I don't have much to say anything in the Xun family. Even if I want to recommend anyone to serve as an official, there may not be anyone who wants to listen to me. General Sun knows people and responsibilities, but now he is not rich, and in time, he will naturally follow people. Fengxiao, your Guo family passes on the family through law, and General Sun likes the Legal family, why don't you recommend a few clan members to serve as an official? Your wife comes from the Zhong family, so you can also find some children of the Zhong family."

"I was just thinking that I had sent someone back to contact me." Guo Jia smiled and said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Zhong Yao?"

"I can't say it's deep, I've seen it a few times."

"If you have the chance, I will tell him a message. Although the Zhong family is a famous family in Yingchuan, among the younger generation, he is the only one who has the ability to be a Fang Zhen. There are too many old ministers in Chang'an, so it is difficult for him to have a chance to make a name for himself. A gentleman acts at the sight of the opportunity and does not wait for the whole day. If a person in his forties is in his forties, he will be able to survive in Chang'an. It is better to come back early to make achievements."

Xun You couldn't help laughing. "Okay, I'll write him a letter. As for whether he would like to come back or not, I dare not say it. By the way, General Zhou said that General Sun's calligraphy is first-class and unique, and Zhong Yao also likes calligraphy. If General Sun could write a letter, he might be happy to see the hunter and come in a hurry."

Guo Jia looked at Xun You, tilted his mouth and laughed. "Okay, as long as Zhong Yao can come, let alone let General Sun write his own writing, he will be willing to let him dance." He shook his sleeves, turned around and walked down the mountain with his hands behind his back. Chen Dao and others were waiting on the hillside. "Okay, I'll leave the matter here to you, and I'll rush back to Runan. The war is coming, and I'll be very unaccustomed to General Sun leaving."
