We left Yong 'an and passed through Wuguan Pass and Hangu Pass before finally arriving at Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This was truly an impregnable pass. However, just like that, it was gone. Who was to blame? They couldn't blame Xiong Guan, they were innocent. He could only blame himself. This is not the first time I've come here. I used to be the commandant of the city gate cavalry. At that time, it was the officials who whispered. But this time, it was different. I'm already an insignificant little counselor. My official position may not seem small in this place, but this is Luoyang City, where there are as many nobles as there are hairs on an ox. In this place, even the official rank of the gatekeeper might be higher than yours, and even the children might be higher than yours. However, I thought of my purpose for coming here this time. Thus, when I and the others settled down, we began to make arrangements. I ordered Huang Zhong and Yan Yan to bring my letter back to the Cao family's courtyard and arranged their tasks. I asked them to join the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and train them together with Brother Xiahou. Only Dian Wei and I are left here. I couldn't stay idle, so I started to walk around the talents I remembered. I know better than them what they like and dislike. So it's more convenient for me to walk around. For example, I often visit the residences of Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu, Wang Yun, and Xun You. These elders would be useful in the future. Especially Xun You, whenever he had free time, he would go to his house. I was a drunkard, but I also wanted to drink wine and mountains and rivers. No matter what, this Xun You was an expert in foreign affairs and internal affairs. His brother-in-law was even more powerful, and that was Xun, whom Old Cao called my Liang Fang. " As for Wang Yun, I think all the men will understand my actions. I think the women won't be too resistant either. This is ancient times. Right, I'm talking about Diao Chan. She was a beautiful woman with a very pitiful fate. She was wrong just because she was beautiful, and it was not her fault. Under my attack, my relationship with the other lords is ordinary, but my relationship with Xun You has reached a very high level. That old fellow refused to board my boat. He didn't even give me face when I invited him to dinner. It was annoying that he didn't come to treat them. One day, I was thinking about my future plans, how to move Xun You and invite his brother-in-law. There are so many talents, and I want the more Han Xin soldiers, the better. In the future, there would be no need for talents in the various battlefields. At this moment, he heard Dian Wei say,"My lord, Lord Xun is here."”"Is that so?" Go and welcome them." This kid has never been willing to come to my house. This means that things are starting to change. I hurriedly walked out and bowed deeply."Milord, in a situation where you are busy every day, it is an honor to visit my humble residence.”I raised my head and stared at the rising sun. "Meng De, what are you looking at?" Xun You asked.”After saying that, he also looked up. "Why did the sun rise from the west today?"”"Meng De, what do you mean?" Xun You asked.”I said,"Lord Xun, my family is looking forward to your arrival. This is something that I have been dreaming of."”Xun You's eyes moved slightly, but he immediately regained his composure and said,""It's nothing. I was just passing by today and wanted to have a chat with Meng De.”I hurriedly stretched out my hand and said,"Lord Xun, please!"”"Meng De, can't you call me by my name?" Xun You asked.”"I wouldn't dare!" "Meng De, there's no need to be so formal," said Xun You.”"Since that's the case, I'll accept your offer."”I bowed deeply and said,"Please, sir!"”Xun You's eyes moved again. Who am I, Li Feilong? I still have the thick skin I practiced in my previous life and the ability to read people's expressions.

After Xun You and I entered the house, the host and guest sat down and served tea. Xun You sighed softly and said,""Meng De, what do you think of the situation in the world?”I thought, climb over the wall and dig a hole-there's a door. I lowered my head slightly and sighed."What do you think, sir?" "I want to hear Meng De's opinion."”It seems like he's here to test me. I have to show him my skills. I thought for a moment and said,"This is not good."”"What does Meng De think will happen next?" Xun You asked.”"It's unimaginable," I said. "Looks like Meng De feels the same way." "What do you think you should do next, sir?"”"I have already applied for leave from the Imperial Court to leave this place and return to my hometown to see my parents," replied Xun You.”"That's not the truth, is it?" I asked. Xun You's eyes lit up.”"I thought you were just returning to your hometown to avoid trouble.”"To avoid disaster. Where did the disaster come from?" I smiled and said,"It comes from here."”After saying that, he pointed at the palace. "What does Meng De mean?" Xun You asked.”I said,"Disaster comes from the roots. If the roots rot, the world will be in chaos."”"Meng De is very knowledgeable."”I continued,"Sir, I'm afraid it's not as simple as meeting your parents. Sir was looking and choosing.”"Ugh…What should I choose?" "Choose your future." "What do you mean?" "Mister is choosing a wise lord, a wise lord who can rule chaos and rebuild.”"Reorder chaos and rebuild," said Xun You. Alright, how do we make it? How do we build it?" I smiled and said,"Sir, you're testing me." The world was like a millstone, once it moved, chaos would not stop. The law of chaos lies in stopping." Xun You's eyes moved.”I said with a bright light,"To rule the chaos with war and return the world to peace."”Xun You nodded and asked,"How do we build it?"”I took a sip of tea. Internal politics, developing oneself, using troops externally, expanding territory.”"This is a waste of manpower and money," said Xun You.”"If we use war to support war, we won't waste money and manpower," I said.”"How can we feed war with war?" asked Xun You.”"It's to obtain the enemy's resources and use them in battle. Attacking cities and seizing territory is all for the sake of profit." We'll send troops first, and then we'll focus on construction. In this way, not only would the territory be larger, but it could also supplement the central government's finances.”Xun You thought for a moment and said,"Meng De, what do you think I can do for your construction?"”"Like a tiger with wings!" It seems that I dare to say that Sir has found his own choice.”Xun You looked at me in a daze and said,"Meng De, how do you know that I have made my choice?"”"In this world, only I can make your revenge come true."”"What is my ambition?" "I want to be a victor's diplomat. By subduing the enemy without fighting." At this moment, Xun You tidied up his clothes. This scholar-bureaucrat was really troublesome. Then, he solemnly knelt on the ground and said to me,"Xun You, Xun Gongda, is willing to follow my lord and make contributions, to realize my lord's dream of unifying the world and expanding the territory.”
