Chapter 645 Death of Jushou
Seeing Jushou's despair, the team officer couldn't help but look unbearable.
"Strong man, please lend me your weapon." Jushou said expressionlessly.
"Mr. Sir, why are you doing this?" The captain sighed, but took off the ring-headed knife from his waist and handed it to Jushou.
Ding.
He flicked the blade lightly with his finger, and Jushou smiled slightly: "The sound was crisp and clear to my ears. It seems that you usually take good care of the blade."
"Haha, when you go into battle to kill the enemy, your wealth and life depend entirely on this thing. Naturally, it will be worn out all the time." The team officer scratched his scalp in embarrassment.
Jushou nodded and slowly placed the blade across his neck with a calm expression.
"A great man is about to die before he has achieved success for a long time. What can he do?"
After saying that, Jushou was about to take action. But just as he was about to take action, a loud shout came over.
"Father, why is this!"
A fair-faced young man suddenly rushed out from the back of the hall and snatched the ring-headed sword from Ju Shou's hand. Jushou was afraid that the blade would hurt him, so he let go in a hurry.
"Father!" The young man took the weapon from Jushou's hand. There was a bloodstain on his tender white hands, but he didn't care at all. He said angrily: "Father taught me on weekdays that when a man is established in the world, he should achieve fame and great achievements. Today, his ambition has failed. , Naihe died?"
This young man was none other than Ju Hu, the only son of Ju Shou, who was looking at his father angrily.
"Hu'er?" Jushou sighed: "If you want me to die, I have to die. Since I am a staff member of Duke Yuan's account, how can I not obey Duke Yuan's order now?"
"Yuan Shao is just a mere state shepherd. He is at most a master, how can he be considered a king?" Ju Hu said angrily: "Since my father can go to Yuan Shao, he can still go to the general now, so why must he die?"
"Insolent!" Ju Geqi blushed: "Han Fu is weak and cannot be assisted. Yuan Gong Li Xian, a corporal, changed his family just now. It was a last resort. If one master loses, he will join another master. What is the difference between him and a man in the market?" ?”
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly there was a sound of high-fives outside the door, and at the same time someone said: "Well, well, sir, you are worthy of being a famous person in Hebei. There are many generous and tragic people in Yan and Zhao, and the ancients are sincere and will not be deceived by me."
"who?"
The Jizhou army officer was suddenly startled. He picked up the Huanshou knife from the ground and looked at the door warily. Jushou and his son also looked outside the door in confusion to see who was speaking just now.
I could hear the sound of footsteps outside the door, and there seemed to be hundreds of people. I saw hundreds of armored warriors approaching, and the style of their armor was undoubtedly that of the Liangzhou Army. Among the hundreds of soldiers, there were several who looked different in armor and were tall. They were obviously the generals of the Liangzhou Army.
"Mr. Gong and Mr. You are indeed loyal ministers, and what I like the most is a loyal person like Mr. Gong and Mr." The man who just spoke praised: "How about inviting Mr. Gong and Mr. to a certain shogunate to serve the court?"
"snort!"
A strong general in the crowd rushed forward, snatched the sword from the hands of the Jizhou army officer, and pushed him to the ground. Several soldiers had already stepped forward to control him, unable to move.
"Your Excellency?"
"I, Liu Yuqing, am the great general." Liu Ye smiled and said, "I heard about Mr. Gong and Mr. when I was in Guanzhong. How about asking Mr. Gong and Mr. to join me?"
"Father, just agree." Ju Hu pushed Ju Shou excitedly and said, "The general has become famous in recent years. He conquered the east and west and won every battle. He is much more powerful than Yuan Shao."
"My lord, how dare you, little boy, interrupt!" Jushou reprimanded Juhu, then raised his head and said, "The general is kindhearted, but as he said before, the professor is determined to die for Mr. Yuan, please. Please fulfill your wish."
"Mr. Gong Yu, you should think carefully." Liu Ye advised him warmly: "Yuan Shao has no plans and is indecisive. He has capable ministers under his command but can't use them. How can he value Gong Yu as much as I do? Is it possible that Mr. Gong Yu can't use them?" Don’t you want to be granted the title of wife and son, the title of marquis and the title of prime minister?”
"Haha, please forgive me for speaking frankly." Jushou cupped his hands and said: "In terms of talents, the generals have Xun Gongda of Yingchuan, Wuwei Jia Wenhe, and Guo Fengxiao, all of whom are resourceful and resourceful people. I'm afraid there is no shortage of talents, right?"
"The reason why the general took shelter in Shou is probably to win the support of the scholars in Hebei, right?" Ju Shou said slowly.
This statement is true. Jushuo, Tianfeng and others are famous scholars in Hebei, and their reputations are far-reaching. Therefore, after Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, he was not busy enfeoffing Fengji, Guo Tu and other meritorious old ministers, but appointed them, just to quickly Obtain support from scholars in Hebei. If Jushou was willing to join Liu Ye's army, it would undoubtedly take much less effort for Liu Ye to stabilize Hebei.
"That's wrong." Liu Ye shook his head and said, "Liuhou is famous for his wisdom and wisdom in the world. Xiao He is in charge of the rear, so the soldiers can feel at ease. However, with the help of Liuhou and Xiao He, Gaozu still appointed Chen Ping as prime minister. The more resourceful people, the better , is there any reason why the pearls and jade should be thrown away instead?"
Liu Ye looked at Ju Shou and said sincerely: "In someone's eyes, you and I are both talented!"
Jushou was silent for a while: "Thank you so much, General, for your praise."
"Father, just agree!" Ju Hu couldn't help but said: "The general is so courteous to the corporal, and he is also the pillar of the imperial court. Wouldn't it be far better to defect to the general than to Yuan Shao?"
Although Jushou was still thinking about it, Liu Ye was confident that he would agree. After all, he was so sincere, and his son was advising him. Jushou would not abandon his son and seek death himself, right?
Unexpectedly, Jushou said gratefully: "I am deeply grateful for the courtesy of the general. However, loyal ministers do not serve the two masters. Because Han Wenjie is weak, he betrayed him midway. If he joins the general again now, how can he be a son of man?"
"The general can give you a rich burial and appoint my son as a marquis. In this way, the hearts of Hebei people will definitely belong to the general." Jusue said sincerely: "Song will betray you again. There can be no more than three. Please make it happen, general."
"Alas" Liu Ye sighed. He still underestimated the importance of integrity in this era. In fact, reputation was the most important thing in ancient times. Even though Su Wu had been herding sheep outside the Great Wall for nearly 20 years, he refused to surrender. Geng Gong, with hundreds of Han soldiers, refused to surrender even after being besieged by tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops for half a year. It was for the sake of one integrity.
"That's all." Liu Ye sighed: "I'll take care of your wife myself."
"Thank you, General." Jushou bowed to Liu Ye with a calm face: "I would like to explain a few words to my son."
"Yes." Liu Ye nodded, turned around and walked out.
Ju Hu looked at his father, and the tears in his eyes finally burst out. He hugged Ju Sue and burst into tears.
"Father! Father! You can't die, you can't die." Ju Hu burst into tears and hugged Ju Suo tightly.
