"Ah, reporting to Blazing Sun, Lord Blazing Sun, Xun You has no virtue or ability to trouble Lord Blazing Sun to come here again and again. However, if Xun You has the heart to become an official, then Xun You will repay you with all his strength.
However, this commoner Xun You admits that I have no skills and am not proficient in my profession. I am just an ordinary man. Please forgive Xun You for his lack of talent and virtue. I am unable to repay Lord Blazing Sun! "
Although Xun You should have guessed Yang Rui's intentions, he was still stunned by Yang Rui's sudden request. However, when he saw Yang Rui's sincere and serious expression, he knew that Yang Rui was not speaking casually. He immediately recovered.
However, Xun You immediately refused Yang Rui's request, indicating that he was powerless to help Yang Rui and only wanted to be an ordinary person.
Yang Rui had already expected such a situation. Not to mention Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage, after all, he had not yet been born. However, under the background of the Three Kingdoms, many people with some ability would wait for a good price and would not easily make a promise.
These talented people naturally understood that if something was obtained too easily, it would be easy to not cherish it. They would often show off their worth and then wait for an opportunity to act.
Such a situation was actually very normal. It was the same as choosing a career and marrying in the real world. Everyone would be very cautious.
Especially in this chaotic world, the most important thing was that a good bird would choose a tree to nest in. Choosing a good owner was a matter of life and death. There could not be the slightest bit of carelessness.
Therefore, identity, status, and prestige became important. When Yang Rui arrived at Xun You's residence, he reported his identity.
"I am very clear about Mister Xun You's talent. Otherwise, I would not have repeatedly come to disturb you. Even if Mister wants to live a peaceful life, have you ever thought about the suffering of the common people in this chaotic world? Have you ever thought about the safety of the world? Have you ever heard of the principle that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world?"
Knowing that he would encounter some difficulties, Yang Rui was not in a hurry. He patiently explained to Xun You.
Even though Xun You was one of the few great talents in the world, after hearing Yang Rui's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and there was an obvious change in his expression.
Perhaps there was indeed a large gap in other aspects. However, as a player, Yang Rui was not much inferior to Xun You and the other great scholars in terms of knowledge and rhetoric. The key was that some of his viewpoints were indeed inaccessible in this era of the game.
"The rise and fall of the world. Every man is responsible. "
Xun You slowly chewed on Yang Rui's words, seeming to agree with him.
Yang Rui had used the same words to persuade the various feudal lords when the heroes were fighting for the position of Alliance Leader. So, it was normal for Xun You to repeat it again and again.
He saw Xun You's thoughtful look. Yang Rui did not continue, quietly waiting for Xun You's possible reaction.
"Lord Lieyang Prefecture Overseer, please have another drink!"
After pondering for a while, Xun You looked at Yang Rui, who was sitting across the stone table. He picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Yang Rui. Then, he gestured to Yang Rui with the cup and silently tasted the tea himself.
"Mister Xun You, Blazing Sun is not an alarmist. Right now, it is the autumn of the world. The feudal lords only care about their own affairs, flexing their wings, and sitting on the ground doing the king's business. They don't know that due to the natural disaster, the people are in deep water and scorching fire. The borders are surrounded by enemies, who will easily enter to burn, kill, and loot. Mister Xun You, please consider carefully. If this continues, will the country survive? "
Yang Rui felt that his reason might not be sufficient, so he continued.
For Xun You, Yang Rui's point of view from the perspective of a player was naturally novel. Yang Rui's next words. Seemed to have touched Xun You.
However, Xun You still did not have any intention of expressing his position. He only drank cup after cup of tea with Yang Rui.
"Blazing Sun's actions have been widely spread in the streets and farmlands. The Qing and Yan Provinces under Blazing Sun's rule can be said to be peaceful. The common people all live and work in peace and contentment. Xun You naturally understands a lot.
However, Xun You's aspiration did not lie here, which indeed caused Lieyang Prefecture's Magistrate Daren to be weary. Today, Lieyang Prefecture's Magistrate Daren did not shirk his status, did not give any orders, and even praised Xun You. For this reason, Xun You was extremely moved.
Xun You does not dare to disappoint Lord Blazing Sun's expectations. I don't know if Lord Blazing Sun and Xun You can each take a step back and give Xun You a year or so of leisure. If Lord Blazing Sun can completely pacify the Yan Provinces within a year, I, Xun You, will do my best to repay Lord's appreciation. How about it? "
Yang Rui and Xun You shared a pot of tea. Only then did they hear Xun You speak.
Xun You's words were somewhat hypocritical. As a player, Yang Rui naturally knew that this was an excuse. However, he did not care about this because after Xun You's voice fell, a system prompt was sent over.
"System Prompt: Complete the unification of the Yan Provinces within a game year. You will receive the historical figure Xun You's submission. Do you accept the historical figure Xun You's submission quest? Please choose! "
Since Xun You had actually given him a submission quest, Yang Rui naturally did not object.
After submitting the quest, Yang Rui immediately relaxed. If it was only to complete the unification of the Yan Provinces, Yang Rui actually had plans in this regard. Yang Rui believed that the probability of completing it was not low.
However, because Yan Province needed half a year for the Forbidden Army, Yang Rui's progress in unifying Yan Province would be delayed.
It wasn't that Yang Rui hadn't thought of using the Purple-Gold Conscription Token, but the Conscription Token only had a 10% chance of subduing a Level 1 historical figure. Thinking about it, Xun You should also be at this level, so the chances of success weren't high.
Moreover, using the Recruitment Token on a specific target could also be considered an attack. If the recruitment was not successful, it would be even more difficult for Yang Rui to recruit Xun You.
At this moment, after Xun You's submission quest was revealed, Yang Rui suddenly became cheerful. The condition to unify the Yan Provinces seemed very sudden, but it was actually in line with the actual conditions. In history, when Xun You joined Cao Cao, Cao Cao had already completed the unification of the Yan Provinces.
At the same time, as one of the most important figures in Cao Cao's faction in history and romance, the difficulty of recruiting Xun You should be very high. At the very least, it should be more difficult than recruiting Cheng Yu and Guo Jia.
Cheng Yu first had a special dream of "holding the sun on Mount Tai". After that, Yang Rui had interacted with Cheng Yu for a very long time before he was finally able to recruit him. Guo Jia was even given a Spirit Incubation Pill and a Nine-Leaf Crane Vine by Yang Rui. It was almost equivalent to being reborn. (To be continued.)
