It was noon, and Hanzhong City was bustling with people.
The streets were filled with dazzling lights, and the impact of the war could not be felt at all.
Liu Bei was indeed admirable in governing the city and pacifying the people.
In a restaurant not far from the government office.
Liu Feng, Li Xun, and Deng Ai sat in the private room. The dishes and wine had already been served. Liu Feng smiled and said,"
"Now that there are only the three of us here, if you have anything to say, just say it!”
The two of them were silent for a moment. Deng Ai said first,
"General, his name is not Li Xun, but Xun Yuan. He is from the Xun family of Yingchuan!”
Liu Feng was shocked. He had been guessing Li Xun's background, but he did not expect him to use a fake name. He asked,
"Could it be Xun Yu and Xun You's family?”
Deng Ai looked at Li Xun and nodded. She didn't say anything else, wanting Li Xun to say it himself.
It seemed that this matter was not as simple as he thought.
Li Xun's expression dimmed. He took a deep breath and slowly said,"
"To be honest, my father is Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo!”
"Ah?"
Liu Feng stood up. Li Xun was Xun Yu's son?
This news was truly shocking. He thought that Xun Yuan might have some relationship with the Xun Family.
He was only a distant relative, but he never expected him to be Xun Yu's son.
Xun Yu was Cao Cao's right-hand man, how could he let his son run to Shu?
Xun Yuan's eyes narrowed as he said in a deep voice,"
" Cao called himself the Duke of Wei. He did not bow to the emperor when he entered the court. He walked on his sword and shoes. My father tried to stop him many times, but he did not want to be harmed by Cao…"
The room instantly fell silent. Liu Feng stood there in a daze.
They probably wouldn't believe Li Xun's words, but he came from the future.
He had some understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms, but he knew that Xun Yuan's words were true.
It was recorded in history that Xun Yu was hated by Cao Cao because he opposed Cao Cao calling him the Duke of Wei.
He was transferred out of the central control and died of depression in Shouchun. Another theory was that he committed suicide by taking poison at the age of 50.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng's heart surged. He slowly sat down and said,
"If Shiyuan says so, then Cao Cao is truly vicious. Mister Wen Ruo has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty.
His lifelong wish was to restore the Han Dynasty and assist Cao Cao. Now, Cao Cao was the Duke of Wei.
Everyone in the world knew that His Majesty was only a puppet.
Your father was killed by Cao Cao because of his righteousness. It's really a pity.”
Xun Yuan felt like crying. He took a deep breath and said,"
"Out of the six of us, I'm the only one who has fled.
He came to the Shu army to fulfill his father's wish.
Fortunately, the general appreciated him. If he could kill Cao Cao, he would follow him to the death.”
Liu Feng let out a long sigh and said indignantly,
"When Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe's family, he said,'I would rather let the world down than let the world down me'.
It can be seen that Cao Cao's heart is like a wolf's son. Cao Cao is shallow and can be useful to him.
Naturally, they would try to rope him in, and once he disobeyed them, they would turn hostile and ruthless!”
Xun Yuan nodded.
"General is right. Back then, my father had made great contributions to the Cao family.
Even if he made any mistakes in his later years, he should atone for his sins with his contributions.
He didn't expect that he would harm his subordinates for the sake of the Duke of Wei.
As a result, my father was not the only one who was killed. As long as the Cao rebels are not destroyed, the Han Dynasty will eventually fall.”
Liu Feng pondered for a moment and said,
"I heard that your father died of illness in Shouchun. Is this true?”
"Hmph, nonsense!"
Xun Yuan gritted his teeth in anger.
"Back then, Cao Cao plotted to transfer my father to Shouchun and no longer put him in an important position. My father was worried that this matter would involve his family.
So he sent him back to Yingchuan and told him to take his family to escape Yingchuan and go to Jingzhou.
I didn't expect to hear the news of my father's death just three days after I left Shouchun.”
He slammed the table and said hatefully,"
"When I left Shouchun, my father was still in good health. How could he die of illness in two days? I didn't dare to return to Shouchun to visit him.
He could only conceal his identity and return to Yingchuan overnight. He did not expect Cao Cao to be so ruthless.
I've already sent people to Yingchuan to bring my entire family to Xuchang!”
Liu Feng patted his shoulder and comforted him,
"Cao Cao was afraid that others would gossip about him, so he let your brother take up an idle position in the court to shut up the mouths of the people.”
Deng Ai sighed softly.
"This subordinate has also been discussing with Shiyuan about the matter of not coming over these two days. I didn't expect that his family would have such a huge change.
Moreover, it was harmed by Cao Cao. It was truly heartbreaking. How talented was Mister Wen Ruo?
Being called Liang Fang by Cao Cao, even a subordinate like this, wouldn't it be hated?
After seeing Cao Cao's true colors, I made up my mind to serve Imperial Uncle and restore the Han Dynasty!”
He gently raised his wine cup and said to Xun Yuan,"
"I am Shiyuan, a classmate and a confidant.
I will help Shiyuan defeat Cao Cao and seek justice for Mister Wen Ruo!”
Liu Feng said in a clear voice,
"That's right, both in public and in private, Cao Cao and I have an irreconcilable hatred.
In the future, everyone must work together to eradicate the country's traitors and resolve the hatred between the country and the family.”
Xun Yuan shed tears of gratitude and knelt on the ground.
"After I escaped from Yingchuan, I swore to eradicate Cao Cao.
Dongwu was more than capable of defending, but not enough to attack. Only Imperial Uncle had been running around for the Han family from beginning to end.
I came to the army to make contributions.
I killed the enemy to take revenge. For the sake of my family, I hid my identity until now. Please forgive me, General!”
Liu Feng quickly helped Xun Yuan up."
"Shiyuan, don't worry. Only the three of us know your true identity. To the public, you should still call yourself Li Xun!
When I find a suitable opportunity, I will report this matter to my father.
Presumably, he will also accept you. From now on, we will work together to defeat Cao Cao.”
