The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 381 Volume Five Champion!
Yang Xiu finally plucked up the courage to take a look at the map on the emperor's desk.

Shuofang.

Wuyuan.

in the cloud.

Dai County.

Upper valley.

Zhuojun.

Yuyang.

Right Beiping.

There are also Liaoxi, Liaodong, Xuantu further east...

All the mountains, rivers and streams to the north of the Han Dynasty were marked by Kebineng, hoping that the Han emperor would allow them to "recuperate" here.

Madness!

The moment Yang Xiu saw the map, these two words popped into his mind!

Extremely arrogant!

Even in the pre-Han period, the extremely powerful Xiongnu did not dare to cut the map of the Han Dynasty like cutting a cake.

Where did Ke Bineng get the courage to ask the emperor for these places?

Although strictly speaking, Kebi Neng was not asking for these places, but was merely "recuping".

But for a Xianbei person to play such word games with the Han people is really a bit of an expert in teaching his skills to an expert.

"Yanmen has not been conquered yet, yet you dare to ask me for this condition. If Ke Bineng is lucky enough to take Yanmen this time, will he still want to ask me for Taiyuan? For Hebei?"

Liu Xie's voice was a little louder. Niu Fu, Lu Bu, Ju Shou and others outside the tent heard the emperor's scolding and hurried in.

When Niu Fu and Lu Bu saw the map and learned the whole story, they were also filled with anger.

"How dare you, Xianbei boy, do this?"

Needless to say, Lu Bu.

He himself was born in Wuyuan County.

Ke Bineng actually cut off Lu Bu's hometown directly with this cut!

If Kebi was standing in front of him right now, or if the messenger delivering the letter was a Xianbei, Lu Bu would want to use his Fang Tian Hua Ji to poke two holes in the other person's body!
The same is true for Niu Fu.

Although he was not from Bingzhou.

But before that, when Dong Zhuo was the governor of Bingzhou, Niu Fu also followed Dong Zhuo to fight against the Xianbei outside the Great Wall.

When Niu Fu thought about the lands he had worked so hard to protect being cut off by Ke Bineng in such a ridiculous way, he tightly gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist, his eyes bloodshot!
Only Ju Shou looked at the map, as if he wanted to say something.

But due to the current atmosphere in the emperor's tent, he seemed to be hesitant to speak out.

"Bo Shu, what do you want to say?"

Liu Xie saw Ju Su's hesitation.

"The imperial court doesn't have as many messy rules as Yuan Shao's. You can say whatever you want, and no one will be unhappy about it."

After getting permission, Ju Su said cautiously, "Your Majesty has not been in Hebei for a long time, so you may not know some things."

"In fact, these places have been inhabited by Wuhuan, Xianbei and other ethnic groups since the Benchu ​​period (the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty)."

"Because Youzhou is located on the frontier and borders foreign tribes, it has a lot of expenses every year. It often uses the more than 200 million yuan in taxes from Qingzhou and Jizhou to supplement Youzhou's finances. Later, due to the war, transportation was cut off and money could not be transferred. When Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou at that time, was in power, he pursued a lenient policy in Youzhou, often traded with foreign tribes, and settled some Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes in the interior of the country to let them recuperate."

"As the Central Plains became more chaotic, more foreign races migrated from the bitter cold lands outside the Great Wall to the interior, forming large and small tribes in the north."

"The map drawn by Kebineng included all the counties where the grassland tribes were resting and recuperating."

"So I think..."

Although Ju Su knew that his words might offend the emperor, he still spoke frankly: "I think that what Ke Bineng asked for was not to cede land, but just to ask the emperor to allow them to recuperate in these places. The emperor should agree to their request to avoid starting a war."

"Ju Su! Your mother is a servant!"

"..."

Lu Bu shouted and cursed, causing Ju Shou to shut his mouth decisively.

Didn't we agree that no one would be angry about this?

Lu Bu was more than angry now. He was completely exploded!
Lu Bu stared at Ju Su and immediately bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty! Do not listen to Ju Su's nonsense!"

"My family is in Wuyuan. Back then, some Xianbei tribes lived near us Han people under the guise of seeking refuge."

“It’s fine in the spring and summer.”

"Once our crops are harvested in the fall, or there is a snowstorm in the winter that freezes their livestock to death, they turn into jackals, sneak into the homes of Han people, and plunder everything!"

"Those who say that the Han and the Hu people can live in harmony are bastards! They are beasts! If you have ever experienced your women and food being taken away from you, you will see how you can say such things!"

Lu Bu really wanted to kill Ju Shou with one halberd!
In his opinion, those who proposed that the Han and the Hu people live together are more shameful than those Hu people!
Liu Xie asked Niu Fu to hold Lü Bu down and temporarily block Lü Bu's honey-smeared mouth, then he looked at Ju Shou again: "Bo Shu, do you still want to persist?"

Ju Su had already felt Lu Bu's vicious attitude at this moment, and he also realized that the emperor seemed to be vaguely dissatisfied with him.

But Ju Su still wanted to say what he should say. No matter if it was Yuan Shao or the emperor in front of him, he wanted to say it.

"His Majesty!"

Ju Su fell to his knees.

"How could I not know the suffering of the people living in the border areas?"

"But does Your Majesty really want to fight another battle with a country with a hundred thousand troops just for this matter?"

"I don't know the exact amount of taxes levied by the court. But your majesty's attack on Hebei must have exhausted all the accumulation of the previous years, causing the prosperous atmosphere in Guanzhong and other places to weaken to the extreme, and they are no longer able to provide extra money and grain to support your majesty's war."

"Although Hebei is a rich land, Your Majesty has already spent almost all the money and grain on it in order to implement the policy of equal distribution of land and government soldiers! You can't afford even a penny more!"

"Your Majesty, you want to fight! You want to drive the barbarians out! Great! When history books record your Majesty in the future, they will all praise you like this! But has your Majesty considered the present?"

"Should we increase taxes and levies, damaging the foundation of Guanzhong! Or should we change the laws every day, ruining the good situation in Hebei?"

"Cao Cao of Xuzhou, Yuan Tan of Qingzhou, Gongsun Du of Liaodong, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, Shi Xie of Jiaozhou! Which of these people is easy to deal with? Who can guarantee that if Your Majesty is stuck on the front line for too long, they will not take the opportunity to cause chaos?"

"Your Majesty, during the days you were in Hebei, I have seen everything you did! I know that your Majesty is really good to the people of Hebei! That is why I do not want your Majesty to change hands again and fall back into the dire straits because of a momentary impulse!!"

When Ju Su said this, tears were streaming down his face.

"I hope Your Majesty will put the overall situation first! Temporarily stop the fighting and start anew with the people!"

"Your Majesty was able to lie low for several years in order to recover Hebei, so why can't you be patient for a while longer for the sake of the people?"

……

After Ju Su said this, those who heard it shed tears and those who listened to it were sad.

The faces of those who had been clamoring for war were all gloomy and uncertain, not knowing how to refute Ju Shou.

As Yang Xiu was the emperor's close attendant, he knew the current situation in the court best.

This battle in Hebei, which mobilized 100,000 soldiers and conscripted hundreds of thousands of civilians, had indeed exhausted all the resources of Guanzhong, and even showed signs of decline in some places.

If they fought another battle with the already unified Xianbei, it was very likely that the situation that had been stabilized with great difficulty would collapse again!
Not to mention, there are people like Cao Cao, Yuan Tan, Gongsun Du, and Sun Ce.

The Youzhou border is certainly important, but aren’t places like Guanzhong, Hebei, and Central Plains important?
For a moment, even Yang Xiu began to adjust his thinking, wondering whether he should temporarily make peace with the Xianbei and not take any drastic measures, and wait until he had more money and food before recovering his homeland.

The emperor had already stood up at this moment and slowly walked in front of Ju Su.

Ju Su closed his eyes, fearing that he would be punished by the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor simply helped Ju Su up and personally brushed the dust off the front of his clothes.

"What Bo Shu said makes sense! Very reasonable!"

When Ju Su heard this, he was about to be happy.

"Let the people living on the border suffer, let the people living on the border suffer even more..."

"But Bo Shu, you know that a year ago, the people of Hebei were just people of the border to me."

"But after I recovered Hebei, when did I ever think of making the people of Hebei suffer?"

"Just because the people of Youzhou have been border residents for many years, we cannot assume that these border residents deserve to suffer."

"And if Youzhou is occupied by the Xianbei, will the people of Jizhou become border residents in the next step?"

"What happens next? Should I retreat again? If Jizhou is ceded to me, will the people in Guanzhong also become border residents?"

"When Guanzhong was also cut off, did the people in the Central Plains and Shu also become border people?"

"Where can I retreat to next? The Yangtze River? But what if the Yangtze River is also occupied? Should I go to Yashan? If Yashan is gone, where should I go? To Jiaozhi? To Rinan?"

"If I dare not cherish these border people today, they will dare not cherish me as the emperor tomorrow. Do you believe it or not?"

"The glory of the Han Dynasty was definitely not born when Emperor Gaozu pacified Xiang Yu. It was born when Emperor Gaozu dared to lead his troops to Mount Baideng to fight the Xiongnu in person at the beginning of the Han Dynasty when even a few war horses of the same color could not be found."

Liu Xie pointed at Lü Bu and said, "Bo Shu, Fengxian is now considered to be homeless."

"Who will be left homeless next? Will it be the emperor's uncle? You? Or me? Or the people of the world?"

“So, if you want to make people suffer, make everyone in the world suffer, not just the people on the border.”

Liu Xie turned to Lu Bu again and said, "Fengxian, remember what I promised you before?"

Lu Bu was puzzled at first, and then his breathing quickened.

That was when the emperor met him for the first time.

At that time, the emperor said to him:

"I hope that Fengxian will one day emulate the Marquis of Guanjun, seal the Wolf's Lair, and drink from the vast sea. I also hope that he will go to see where Su Wu grazed sheep and where Zhang Qian was sent as an envoy!"

……

Now is the time for the king and his minister to fulfill their promise to each other!
"It's time to strip you of your title of Marquis Wen."

Liu Xie took a deep breath——

"From now on, I will confer you the title of Marquis of Champion! I hope you will work hard!"

Power shocks the enemy, courage makes you the champion!
From today on, Wenhou Lu Bu is gone!
Standing before them all was the new General of the Cavalry of the Han Dynasty! Marquis of Guanjun! Lu Bu! Lu Fengxian!
