Wait, please don't call me Emperor Zhaolie

Chapter 214: Soldiers will be afraid of Liu Ruhu
"Mr. Yuan, Tian Biejia just made a mistake in his words. You can severely fine him to serve as a warning to all officials in Hebei. But you should not use caning to block the way for advice. When Li Si advised the King of Qin, he said: Rivers and seas do not discriminate against small streams, so they can become deep. Kings do not reject the common people, so they can show their virtue. This is the work of the Five Emperors and the Three Kings. If you just block loyal advice, the loyal and righteous people in Hebei will hesitate and dare not give advice. I hope Mr. Yuan will think carefully about this."

Ju Shou saw that Tian Feng was too upright and couldn't help but sigh secretly. He offended most people with just one sentence.

He carefully observed the expressions of the crowd and saw that Lord Yuan seemed to be intending to impose a severe punishment, so he had to speak up to comfort Tian Feng.

Yuan Shao thought about it and decided that at the moment he still needed to win over more scholars in Hebei. Severely punishing Tian Feng was a small matter, but affecting his decisive battle with Liu Bei was a big deal.

Then he said, "Well, since you have interceded for Mr. Tian, ​​I will not punish him with the flogging. I will fine Mr. Tian two years' salary. He does not need to come to the hall to discuss matters anymore. You can come to me to admit your fault sometime. Only when I allow you to come to the hall again can you come."

"At this moment, please step down, Mr. Tian."

Yuan Shao waved his hand.

"Mr. Yuan, I..." Tian Feng wanted to say something else.

But he was interrupted by Yuan Shao, who coldly shouted: "Back off!"

Ju Su hurriedly came up to grab Tian Feng and whispered in his ear: "Don't make Lord Yuan angry again, otherwise no one can protect you. You must be imprisoned today. Has Yuan Hao forgotten the Xiran oath during the Warring States Period? Gan Mao refused to attack Han many times because he was afraid that King Wu of Qin would believe the rumors and make him withdraw his troops, which would be a failure. Because he was thousands of miles away, and the others were alienating him in front of the King of Qin every day. If Yuan Hao is imprisoned and questioned, how can he walk out of prison alive for offending his colleagues with his quick words now?"

"Think about your respected family, your wife and children. What will happen to them if you are imprisoned?"

Jushou advised with good intentions.

He really didn't want to see the officials under Yuan Gong's rule still be demoralized when a powerful enemy attacked.

If this continues, we will probably be defeated by Liu Xuande in the end.

Tian Feng was a little dazed and was dragged out by Ju Shou.

Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, also sighed secretly. Tian Yuanhao was loyal, but he always embarrassed him.

It seems that Tian Feng is the only resourceful and extraordinary person in the world, and the rest are mediocre. So let Ju Gong go and persuade him.

Seeing that Lord Yuan had no intention of escalating the matter, Chunyu Qiong and Feng Ji could only bow with some regret and return to their seats to continue discussing the affairs of Xuzhou.

On the other side, Ju Shou grabbed Tian Feng's sleeve and dragged him out of the street outside the mansion and then let go.

Looking up, he happened to see the sun shining through the clouds in the east. Ju Su said with emotion, "When the sun shines, the clouds will open up. The aspiration of life is also like this."

"What a floating cloud that will disperse on its own. If Hebei is not cautious and still underestimates Liu Xuande, what may be waiting for is not the floating cloud that will disperse on its own, but the Qingzhou army will be at the gate of the city." When Tian Feng heard Ju Su's sigh, he brushed his sleeves in annoyance and said with a stern face.

"Tian Yuanhao, Tian Yuanhao, hahaha." Ju Su suddenly laughed up to the sky. After he finished laughing and wiped his tears, he said slowly: "Liu Bei is indeed powerful at the moment, but how could Lord Yuan not know that when he was in Youzhou, he had already married Wuhuan Chanyu Tadun and won over many Xianbei tribes. He accepted Ziyuan's strategy to reward craftsmen and ironware. The Xiongnu in Bingzhou also have an old grudge against Liu Xuande. Once we fight with them, we can attract a lot of help and divide our troops into multiple routes to take Qingyan."

Tian Feng frowned and asked, "You seem to have a plan to defeat Liu Liang. Can you tell me about it?"

"It cannot be said. It cannot be said." Ju Su smiled and waved his hand, then walked away with his hands behind his back.

Tian Feng hurriedly caught up and thought, "The terrain of Qingzhou Pingyuan County and Yanzhou Dong County is suitable for cavalry to charge. If there are a large number of infantry, combined with armored cavalry, it should be no problem to defeat Liu Xuande."

"As far as I know, Liu Xuande has a cavalry of 1,000 men under his command, named Huben Cavalry, who follows him to fight in all directions. However, the number of Qingyan cavalry is far from enough to compete with Hebei. Now Lord Yuan has 6,000 cavalry. If more of them are equipped with armor, they will be able to crush the Huben Cavalry even without the help of Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu."

"Now the only thing missing is the righteousness of the world, so I suggested to Lord Yuan that we should respect the emperor in the west. With the emperor in hand, there is no need to worry about Liu Xuande not being defeated. Unfortunately, Lord Yuan is unwilling to listen to my subsequent suggestions."

Tian Feng sighed and said.

He finished speaking his mind, thinking that he would get the approval of Ju Gongyu, but unexpectedly Ju Su stopped clapping and asked with a smile: "Why is Yuan Hao so sure that Lord Yuan will welcome the emperor?"

"I was just as confused as you at first, but later I gradually figured it out. It's not that Lord Yuan didn't want to welcome the emperor, but that he couldn't."

"Luoyang was occupied by Liu Xuande, and Lü Bu surrendered to Liu Bei and stationed his troops in Dangyin County. He and his subordinates were all brave and good at fighting. When we attacked Zhang Yan earlier, we saw that Lü Fengxian was fickle. If we had known that, we should have advised Lord Yuan to find an opportunity to kill this villain. There would not have been the defeat of Wen Chou in Henei, and Liu Xuande would not have captured Luoyang. It was a matter of a single thought."

Ju Su sighed deeply.

With Lu Bu guarding Dangyin and Guan Yu helping him in Dongjun, Henei is the land of Sili. If there are strong soldiers stationed there, it will be difficult to attack. How can we welcome the emperor? Moreover, the emperor is still in the hands of the bandits in Liangzhou.

The Governor of Dongjun, Guan Yu, was also not someone he was easy to mess with. When Wen Chou was stationed in Yecheng, he had often fought with him and never gained any advantage. It was also said that Zhang Yide of Henei was also extremely brave. Cao Shen and Fan Kuai of Emperor Gaozu were no more capable than him.

Ju Su was puzzled as to where Liu Xuande found so many capable generals.

Tian Yuanhao had never fought against the Qingzhou army, so he didn't know how fiercely Liu Bei's soldiers fought. However, Ju Su secretly asked Wen Chou, a famous general from Hebei. Wen Chou was silent for a moment and replied: "If we fight a few more times, I'm afraid that the soldiers under my command will be afraid of Liu Bei like a tiger."

"When facing Liu Xuande, it is best to defend and consume food and grass. When the enemy is exhausted, then attack him and you will gain something."

After listening to Ju Su's careful thinking, he realized that since the fight between Jizhou and Liu Bei, he had really let Jizhou come and go freely. Liu Xuande ignored all the strategies set by Ju Gong and never followed them. Even when he used Sun Bin's strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, Liu Bei remained unmoved and almost killed Wen Chou on the banks of the Huan River.

To be honest, when facing such an opponent, Ju Shou felt a little fear and a little admiration.

"Oh!" Tian Feng also thought of something and understood the embarrassing situation of Lord Yuan in welcoming the emperor.

However, there is no righteous cause in hand, and Liu Bei's victory in the first battle will inevitably shake the hearts of the people in Hebei. The only thing to do now is to hope that Liu Xuande will make stupid moves one after another, and Yuan Gong will conquer Qingyan in one battle.

"Let's go, Yuan Hao. Man proposes, God disposes. If there is a destiny on your shoulders, God will help you. We are just ordinary people, so we just need to do our best."

Ju Su looked up at the sky and chuckled, then bowed deeply to Tian Feng and walked away.
