Han Dao world

Chapter 834
Liu Biao was finally carried off his horse.

It took more than two hours to go back and forth, and the gallop of fifty or sixty miles made him lose consciousness from the waist down. He sat on the horseback with the last trace of stubbornness, insisting on returning to peace and optimism.

The emperor invited him to dinner to welcome Sun Rui and his party.He really wanted to participate, but he couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to leave with regret.

The emperor did not force others to be difficult, agreed, and asked him to come to see you again another day.

Liu Qi really wanted to stay and attend the banquet, this is a rare opportunity.But Liu Biao was not feeling well, and as a son of man, he had no choice but to go back to serve him, so as not to be called unfilial.

After leaving the imperial camp and getting into the carriage, Liu Biao sighed in relief.

Liu Qi also got into the car and sat down beside him, feeling a little disappointed.

"Boyu, I delayed you."

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Ah Weng said too seriously, why is this. Father and son are one body, everything I have today is given by A Weng, so there is no delay."

Liu Biao sighed again. "Boyu, take a look at Shisun Meng. He was originally a scholar. He has only been in Taiyuan for a long time, and his riding skills are already good. You have been with me in Jingzhou for ten years, but you have only learned some classics, and have not trained riding and shooting. In the world of great controversy, I should use both civil and military, but I am devoted to writing, which is really putting the cart before the horse."

Liu Qi looked at Liu Biao in surprise, but found that Liu Biao was looking at the roof of the car with a slumped expression, not talking to him, but more like talking to himself, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"Mencius once said: Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first toil their muscles and bones and starve their skin. The emperor loves Mencius, and he does it by himself, not just playing with his words, but sitting and talking about the way. This alone is better than thousands of us. times."

Liu Biao sighed again. "The world is his, as it should be."

Liu Qi was puzzled, he didn't know whether Liu Biao had been hit too hard, disheartened, or just confused for a while.

This is not like what Liu Biao might say.

As the eldest son who has been traveling with Liu Biao since he was sensible, Liu Qi knows Liu Biao's character well.He has always been a modest gentleman, and looks down on warriors. Even though he is sitting in Jingzhou and has no choice but to engage in martial arts, he still considers himself a Confucian general, puts morality and knowledge first in everything, and is ashamed to lead by example.

what is it today?
"From tomorrow onwards, you don't go out to visit friends anymore. You study behind closed doors, and practice riding and archery."

"Here." Liu Qi stepped in without knowing it, but he still responded, and then he felt a little embarrassed.

He has promised Liu Bei that he will serve in Liu Bei's army.If you study behind closed doors, do you still want Liu Bei's chance?
He glanced at Liu Biao, hesitated to speak.

Liu Biao has always looked down on Liu Bei, and now he has lost face, can he still agree?

Or ask later.

Liu Biao withdrew his gaze, looked at Liu Qi who was puzzled, and couldn't help sighing again.

This idiot has not yet understood the situation.What a failure in my life.With such an heir, even if I make contributions, so what?
-

Liu Xie and Shi Sun Rui talked and laughed happily.

Liu Xie is satisfied with the refinement of Shi Sun Rui and his soldiers.This shows that Shi Sun Rui has not been idle in recent years and has been preparing for war.

Seeking truth from facts, as far as the war is concerned, Shi Sun Rui can complete the task and win Jizhou.

He worries about other things.

Sun Rui has been in Taiyuan for several years, and there are too many Taiyuan people gathered under his command, and they are all children of rich families.If he is allowed to bear the responsibility of pacifying Jizhou alone, it will be the Taiyuan clan who will benefit in the end, not the ordinary soldiers who have paid blood and sweat.

The great clans in Taiyuan won't think that it is the result of countless soldiers' hard training and selfless fighting, but they will take it as their due credit, and use this to bargain with the imperial court and resist all the new policies of the imperial court that are unfavorable to them.

The same is true for Jizhou people.

The reason why such a problem arises is that the scholar Sun Rui and others did not turn the corner. They did not really agree with the view that all people are scholars, and felt that the scholar-bureaucrats were different.

Therefore, he still needs to grasp the direction and not be led astray by Shi Sun Rui and others.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Xie asked Sun Rui if there were any talents under his command who could pay tribute.

Gongshi is not only the power of local officials, but also the responsibility of local officials.The scholar Sun Rui was not polite, and provided Liu Xie with a prepared list, which included the names of Taiyuan natives such as Wang Ling, Guo Huai, and Wen Hui, as well as the names of outsiders such as Jushou and Wang Can, and several others. A famous doctor and a skilled craftsman.

Among them, Wang Can is not even in Taiyuan, but in Shangdang.

Liu Xie accepted the list and turned to ask Jushou.

"About Jizhou, do you have any suggestions?"

Ju Shou had already prepared for the question, and bowed unhurriedly and said: "Your Majesty's army of more than [-] is surrounded on all sides. The soldiers are well-trained and the generals are also brave. The victory or defeat is decided. The only difference is whether to win with virtue or with force."

Liu Xie smiled. "You might as well explain it in detail."

Jushou bows again. "Victory with virtue will bring people back to their hearts, and Jizhou will be pacified from now on, and it can provide money, food, and elite soldiers for Youhe. Victory with strength will make Jizhou stable, but people will not accept it, and suspicion will still remain. Like dead ashes, there is always a danger of resurgence."

"What kind of heart is this heart? What is the reason for this suspicion?"

Ju Shou was slightly stagnant, and then calmed down again. "People's hearts are naturally the hearts of Jizhou scholars, and suspicion is the court's suspicion of Jizhou."

Liu Xie smiled. "Since there are scholars and commoners, do you disagree with the court's view that all people are scholars?"

Jushou also laughed. "Your Majesty teaches without discrimination. By extension, making the four peoples all scholars is indeed well-intentioned. But enlightenment is not a one-day effort, it must be accumulated for decades. I am afraid that it will be difficult to realize that there is no distinction between scholars and common people." do not."

Liu Xie nodded. "You are neither right nor wrong."

"Your Majesty also asks for advice."

"Yes, you know why. No, you don't know why."

Ju Shou's eyes flashed, and he pondered for a moment. "Your Majesty is saying that enlightenment can be done quickly?"

Liu Xie nodded. "Empty words are useless, so it is better to use Jizhou as an experiment. The imperial court will promote enlightenment in Jizhou, and it will be effective in one year and three years."

Ju Shou frowned slightly, and fell silent.

The officer beside him, Sun Rui, also frowned. "Your Majesty, isn't it too urgent to see results in one year? Yecheng is strong, and even if ten times as many troops besiege the city, it may not be able to overcome it quickly. There is not much time left for enlightenment."

Liu Xie smiled. "Why wait until the city of Ye is conquered to educate? Besiege the city by besieging the city, enlightenment educates itself, and go hand in hand. When the soldiers of Jizhou return to their hearts, it is the day when the city of Ye is opened."

Shi Sun Rui raised his eyebrows, and when he was about to speak, Ju Shou suddenly said, "Is your Majesty planning to implement Dutian in Jizhou when the city of Ye is besieged?"

Liu Xie clapped his hands and smiled.

"That's right. The imperial court will carry out Dutian while besieging Yecheng. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out and eight prefectures merged, Jizhou was the center of the storm. Although the Zhang Jiao brothers acted recklessly, it can be seen that the people of Jizhou hated the annexation. The imperial court For them to equalize the rich and the poor, and to divide the land, do you think they support the imperial court, or those traitors in Yecheng?"

Ju Shou took a deep breath, his heart beating wildly.

Liu Xie looked at Jushou with a smile on his face. "You are a celebrity in Jizhou, would you like to help the court?"
