Han Dao world

Chapter 383 Words are not speculative
When Chen Deng led his troops to set off, Chen Gong rushed to Dongwuyang.

According to Shi Sun Rui's suggestion, Chen Gong put away the clothes of the emperor's envoy, and visited Jushou first as an ordinary tourist.

After reading Ju Jun's letter, Ju Shou frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

Ju Jun's words are very restrained.Neither mentioned Chen Gong's identity nor persuaded Jushou to serve the court.It is only said that Zang Hong is not only a famous minister, but also a member of the main alliance. He is a person of merit in the court and in Yuan Shao.It is also a righteous act to rise up for the county general, and it is not appropriate to kill them rashly.I hope Jushou can mediate from it, so as not to disappoint the people of the world.

But Jushou found it difficult to handle.

Yuan Shao led an army of tens of thousands to besiege the city, but was unable to attack for a long time, and became angry from embarrassment.At this time, he persuaded Yuan Shao to let him go, can Yuan Shao agree?
At this time, Chen Rong proposed that he was willing to go to the city to persuade him to surrender, and persuaded Zang Hong to abandon the city on his own initiative, so as not to burn everything.

Ju Shou stared at Chen Rong for a while, then sighed.

"I can suggest to the lord, but I can't guarantee whether the lord can agree."

Chen Gong was puzzled. "Yuan Benchu ​​must kill Zang Ziyuan?"

"It wasn't possible in the first place, but it's hard to say now." Ju Shou hesitated to speak. "Gongtai, the cold wind from the northwest is chilling to the bone."

Chen Gong's face changed slightly.

Although he didn't reveal his identity, Jushou, like Shi Sunrui, saw the murderous intent behind his trip.

Ju Shou was not the only counselor beside Yuan Shao, and it was inevitable that someone would see his flaws.

But until now, he can't think about it, so he can only bite the bullet and give it a try.

Jushou brought Wang Ling to see Yuan Shao.

Seeing Wang Ling, Yuan Shao was very excited, held Wang Ling's hand, and exchanged tears.

"Has Zi Shi's funeral been properly arranged? If there is anything I need to do, just ask."

Wang Ling withdrew his hand and bowed in salute. "Thank you, leader, for your concern. The Son of Heaven has ordered people to send the remains of the family's uncle and son back to the ancestral tomb in Qixian County. Situ and Sikong will offer sacrifices. I have no regrets."

Yuan Shao looked at Wang Ling with teary eyes. "What did the emperor do?"

Wang Ling shook his head. "The son of heaven is busy with military affairs, and he doesn't even have time to attend the spring festival. How can he have time to stay in Qi County?"

Yuan Shao patted his thigh, deeply moved. "The master served the country with his own body, and the emperor refused to stay in Qi County for a while to sacrifice with a glass of wine. It is really disappointing."

Wang Ling said indifferently: "Although the Son of Heaven did not sacrifice himself, he appointed Situ and Sikong to offer sacrifices, which is considered to be his best. Mr. Shisun also took great care of my brothers, just like his own children. My uncle Quan knows, I should be satisfied too. On the contrary, my uncle had some thoughts about the leader, and I'm afraid he may not be able to let go of it now."

Yuan Shao's heart tightened. "Yan Yun, why did you say that?"

"Back when my uncle killed Dong Zhuo, he invited the lord to take over the government, but the lord refused. The lord must remember?"

Yuan Shao withdrew his hand, took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Wang Yun did invite him to take charge of the court, but he refused.At that time, he had just won Jizhou and defeated Gongsun Zan. He was so full of ambition that he didn't want to go to the court.Now that Wang Ling is from Taiyuan, it is presumably the opinion of Shi Sun Rui and others to bring up this matter again.

Entering the DPRK and governing is a choice.

All previous mistakes can be wiped out by surrendering to the imperial court.With the support of Zhao Wen, Zhang Xi and others inside, and the support of states and counties outside, it is not difficult for him to control the government.

Only in this way, it will be difficult to take a step forward in the future.

With Wang Mang forewarning, it is easy for him to be a powerful minister, but it is difficult for him to usurp a man.

Seeing Yuan Shao's hesitation, Wang Ling secretly sighed.It has long been heard that Yuan Shao is indecisive and indecisive, as expected.

Yuan Shao felt Wang Ling's disdain, and felt displeased, as if seeing Wang Yun who was so conceited back then.

The blood in his heart was getting colder, he wiped away the tears from his eyes, ordered someone to take Wang Ling to rest, and turned to look at Jushou.

"Gongyu, do you have a trick to teach me?"

Jushou got up and saluted. "My lord, the prince used tricks to get rid of Dong Zhuo, tried his best to turn the tide, and betrayed the hope of the world. It is a pity that he was not careful in the future, and there were many mistakes. There are two big ones: one was inappropriate to appease Dong Zhuo's old subordinates, and the other was to kill Cai Yong. Inappropriate appeasement There are external troubles, and the indiscriminate killing of innocent people has internal troubles."

Yuan Shaoruo hummed, his eyes flickering.

Wang Yun was killed, and he also thought about many reasons, and the two things Ju Shou said were undoubtedly appropriate.

But when Jushou mentioned this matter, he obviously meant something else.

Recently, there has been a lot of dissent among the civil and military on whether Zang Hong should be killed. Many people think that Zang Hong has meritorious service and should not be exterminated.Although there are generals who are unwilling to pay a heavy price to attack the city, it is also in line with the opinions of the vast majority of people.

He himself didn't want to kill Zang Hong, because he would be called ungrateful and lose his troops.

After all, it was not he who killed Zhang Chao, but Cao Cao.

"Gonghe, what can I do?"

"Persuade."

Yuan Shao smiled wryly. "If he was willing to surrender, why did he end up here? His letter of refusal to surrender has now become a majestic document. I think the public will never forget it."

Jushou nodded.

Chen Lin and Zang Hong were from the same village, and had written a letter to persuade Yuan Shao to surrender, but Zang Hong refused.Zang Hong wrote a long reply letter, expressing his determination and touching his heart, which made Yuan Shao very embarrassed.

"Chen Rong is back, and he is willing to persuade him to surrender."

"Who?" Yuan Shao was taken aback for a moment before realizing who Chen Rong was. "Why is he back again?"

"There is no way to seek help from all directions, only to live and die with the old master."

Yuan Shao understood, and couldn't help chuckling.

Chen Rong ran around asking for help but failed to find a single reinforcement, and now he came back in despair.It seems that there are still many words of support, but none of them dare to act.

Ju Shou said calmly: "Whether it's persuasion to surrender or death together, my lord might as well give him a chance to fulfill the righteousness of his monarch and ministers. If he succeeds by luck, he can also avoid innocent killings and waste time."

Yuan Shao felt that it was reasonable, agreed, and ordered someone to pass on Chen Rong.

He didn't want to fight either.If Chen Rong could persuade Zang Hong to surrender, he would love it.

Chen Rong entered the account, and after seeing Yuan Shao, he begged again and again, hoping that Yuan Shao would give him a chance to go to the city to persuade Zang Hong to surrender.Yuan Shao made a fuss on purpose, reluctantly agreed, and asked Chen Rong to bring a message to Zang Hong.

I appreciate your loyalty, but Zhang Chao's death at the hands of Cao Cao has nothing to do with me.I also regret not being able to send troops for help.But this is the end of the matter, I hope you can put down your guns and stop stubbornly resisting, so as not to hurt your peace.

Chen Rong bowed again, then left the camp and rushed to the city to ask for an audience.

After Zang Hong received the news, he rushed to the top of the city. Looking at Chen Rong, who was described as emaciated, Zang Hong was very excited.

"Shijun, do you have reinforcements?"

"Yes, yes." Chen Rong replied repeatedly.

"Where are the reinforcements?" Zang Hong looked around excitedly.

"Mingfu, can you let me go to the city to talk about it?"

Only then did Zang Hong come to his senses, and ordered someone to put down the hanging basket, and pulled Chen Rong up.When they went to the city, Chen Rong took Zang Hong and went straight to the tower, pushed the others out, and closed the door again.

Zang Hong was stunned, and looked at Chen Rong puzzled.

Chen Rong tidied up his clothes, carefully took out the imperial edict from his pocket, and spread his hands out.

"Zang Hong accepts the imperial edict."

Zang Hong rolled his eyes. "Shijun, what are you doing, Yuan Shao's false edict..."

Chen Rong said in a deep voice: "The Ming government must not be rude, this is the emperor's edict."

Zang Hong took a closer look and recognized the seal on the imperial edict, and then realized that he was ecstatic.

"Shijun, you went to the court and met the emperor?"
