Chapter 114
After hearing Zhong Yao's words, Xun You's expression became a little solemn. The first sentences of this article are not easy to understand. With Zhong Yao's talent, it is already hard to understand that Liu Bian is out of reach, and the evaluation of being out of reach is even more amazing.
Foolish, in later generations, is a swear word, but the original meaning of this word is a high praise, which is somewhat similar to the rare confusion in later generations. Compared to being unattainable, being unattainable is a great wisdom. For Liu Bian, neither of these two words seems to be worthy of.
Xun You didn't ask again, but couldn't help but admire Xun Yu's foresight. He seemed to have the ability to predict that there might be changes in the emperor.
He believed Yang Xiu's words a little.
After a few words, after exchanging the situation, Xun You and Zhong Yao began to perform their duties and negotiate as representatives of the court and the Yellow Turban Army respectively. Yang Feng and others saw that Xun You and Zhong Yao had a great time talking, and were originally worried that Xun You would sell them, but they did not expect that Xun You made an extremely arrogant request as soon as he spoke.
If you want to recruit pacification, please ask the emperor to come to the camp in person. The Yellow Turban Army was the culprit for the great Han Dynasty to this point. Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo and others were all executioners who massacred the Yellow Turban Army. Huangfu Song also dug a grave and beheaded the corpse of the great wise and good teacher Zhang Jiao. Now they all occupy a high position, and the Yellow Turban Army does not trust them.
As soon as these words were spoken, the tent was silent, and Yang Feng and others were stunned. They looked at Xun You, and they were so scared that they were sweating. They thought to themselves that you are negotiating? Are you cheating us?
Zhong Yao frowned: "Gongda, your request... is too outrageous."
"It's not outrageous." Xun You smiled proudly: "The emperor once said that chaos in the world is his responsibility. Now, we are willing to give him a chance to correct the situation, it depends on whether he has the sincerity. If he dares to come, the 40,000 Yellow Turbans here will believe in his sincerity, are willing to obey his arrangements, and support him in reviving the Han Dynasty. If he dares not come, then what will he use to prove that he is not asking for fame in vain?"
He turned around and said to Yang Feng and others, "Generals, do you think so? If the emperor pushed his heart into our belly like Emperor Guangwu, we would naturally treat him with sincerity. If we cannot, how could we believe that he would not perfunctorily treat us? Once things turn around, raise the butcher knife to us and have another bloody slaughter?"
Yang Feng, Guo Tai and others looked at each other, and after a while, nodded: "What sir said is very much."
Zhong Yao sighed: "Gongda, I dare not agree to your condition, I can only repay Your Majesty. Do you mean that if Your Majesty is willing to come to the camp to negotiate, you can accept any conditions?"
Xun You didn't say anything, just looked at Yang Feng, Guo Tai, Yang Feng, Guo Tai hesitated and nodded. They also felt that Xun You's request was outrageous, but when they thought about it, Xun You made sense. The Yellow Turban Army and the court - especially Huangfu Song - had deep hatred. If the emperor did not have enough sincerity, how dare they really surrender?
"Gongda, give in." Zhong Yao patiently advised: "As long as you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Your Majesty is willing to arrange for you to go to Guanzhong to farm. Guanzhong has a fertile land of thousands of miles, and it was once a famous granary. When you get there, you don't have to worry about food and clothing anymore."
"The emperor is here, let alone Guanzhong, even Liangzhou is fine." Xun You waved his hand: "Brother Yuan Chang, don't talk anymore. If the emperor doesn't come, everything will be free. If the emperor comes, everything will be easy."
Zhong Yao was speechless.
...
Liu Bian remained silent: "What do you think of Xun You's request?"
Zhong Yao lowered his head: "I am incompetent and insulted in my mission."
"I am not blaming you, I just want to ask your opinion." Liu Bian smiled: "Since it is a negotiation, it is normal to propose conditions, and whether to agree or not is another matter. I just want to ask you now, what is the purpose of Xun You put forward such conditions?"
Zhong Yao pondered for a moment and raised his head: "Your Majesty, Xun You hopes that Your Majesty will show you sincerity, get rid of his suspicion, and prepare for the long-term stability of the future. When Emperor Guangwu entered the Tongma camp and put his heart in his stomach, he obtained hundreds of thousands of troops, called the Tongma Emperor, and established the foundation for the founding of the country. If Your Majesty could imitate Emperor Guangwu and conquer the Yellow Turban, how could millions of Yellow Turbans in Shandong not look forward to Your Majesty? What could Yuan Shao do?"
"Nonsense, Your Majesty is a body of thousands of cyclical vehicles and a body of a thousand gold. How can you go deep into the enemy camp?" Lu Bu shouted sternly: "At the time, Emperor Guangwu was a small number of soldiers, and he was forced to enter the Tongma camp due to the situation. Now Your Majesty is strong and has won every battle. Just wait for a command, we will enter the camp. Xiao Yang Feng and Guo Tai's head. Why should Your Majesty take this strange risk? Zhong Yao, are you in a collusion with Xun You, wanting to trap Your Majesty in a dangerous place and make accomplices for Yuan Shao?"
Zhong Yao sighed lightly and kept silent.
Liu Bian looked at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu waved his hand calmly, signaling Liu Bian to listen to Zhong Yao's opinions again. Liu Bian understood and coughed: "Fengxian, let's leave for the time being. After listening to Zhong Yao's words, it's not too late to judge right and wrong."
Lu Bu glared at Zhong Yao angrily and retreated unwillingly.
"Your Majesty, I dare to analyze the situation in front of Yang Feng and Guo Tai for Your Majesty." Zhong Yao cleared his throat and said loudly: "Your Majesty ordered Niu Fu to break through Baibo Valley and win a complete victory. Baibo's army was scared and he was willing to surrender. Although the Heishan Army led by Yang Feng was not strong in surrendering, they were afraid of the mutiny of the Baibo army. How dare they act rashly? Your Majesty enters the camp, and what they are concerned about is His Majesty's safety."
"You still know?!" Lu Bu couldn't help but curse again: "If your Majesty makes mistakes, what can you do if you kill a thousand old and young people in Baibo Valley? And the Yellow Turban Thief has Your Majesty in your hands, can we not let anyone go? Then you will still listen to them asking for a price."
"Fengxian, listen to Zhong Yao finish his words."
"His Majesty!"
"I have a right to retreat." Liu Bian repelled Lu Bu without saying a word.
Lu Bu had no choice but to retreat aside. Zhong Yao continued, "As Your Majesty said, the Yellow Turbans are just desperate people. All they hope is to have dozens of acres of land, a piece of coarse clothes, two bowls of grain, and save their lives. They do not have the ambition to change the dynasty like Yuan Shao. Your Majesty issued an edict in front of Guotai Camp and took the initiative to enter the camp. They have hope of living, how can they not regard Your Majesty as their parents? If someone wants to harm Your Majesty and make their livelihoods cut off, how can they not fight with his life?"
"For Yangfeng and others, killing Your Majesty is just to clear obstacles for Yuan Shao, and they are not profitable. It is true that the Yellow Turban Army and the Taifu and others have blood feuds, but do they have no enemies with the Shandong governors? It is precisely because they were exploited by the powerful Shandong family that their families were destroyed and they had no choice but to rise up. Compared with the Taifu and others, the Shandong family is the real culprit."
After Zhong Yao finished speaking, he kowtowed again.
Liu Bian was silent for a moment and suddenly laughed: "Zhong Yao, I agree, let you go to Yang Feng's camp."
