Shen Pei took the lead and bowed to Yuan Shao with a righteous look on his face:

"This matter was caused by a merchant from Wei State. The king should ask Wei State to compensate me for the losses of Da Yan!"

“Zhengnan’s words are reasonable.

Cao Aman wanted to send troops to help him fight Yuan Shu, but he let the merchants under his command cause trouble to my Dayan!

How can this be true in the world?”

Yuan Shao said angrily:

"Zhengnan, I will leave it to you to hold Cao Aman accountable.

He must be asked to compensate the orphan for his losses!"

"As for the order."

Tian Feng frowned and stepped forward to bow to Yuan Shao:

"The king, I think the person who raises the price of Shu brocade is not necessarily a merchant of the Great Wei Dynasty.

At present, King Cao Cao of Wei is launching troops to attack Chu, and he still needs the support of my Dayan.

How could such an irrational thing be done?

The king must not hearsay, be blinded by villains!”

Tian Feng’s words are good words, but they are too ugly.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao pointed at Tian Feng angrily and said:

"Isn't it the businessman of the Great Wei Dynasty? Could it be that the king sent people to harm the people?

If you, Tian Yuanhao, are you a mediocre master who is easily deceived by villains?

It's so angry that I'm so angry!

Here comes someone, let Tian Feng go out!

No entry into the royal palace to discuss matters within three days!”

"promise!"

The two warriors skillfully stepped forward, grabbed Tian Feng's arm and dragged him away.

Tian Feng had to be forked out for at least three or four times a month. Yuan Shao's personal guards were already very skilled in this job.

After Tian Feng was forked out, Ju Su hurriedly came out to smooth things over:

"Don't calm down, Tian Yuanhao is still very loyal to you, but sometimes he speaks without saying anything.

Now that Chu State is dominant, we should still unite with Han and Wei to fight against Yuan Shu together.”

Yuan Shao felt that what Ju Su said was also reasonable.

Just as he was about to agree with Ju Shu's suggestion, Yang Hong stood up and said:

"What Ju Shu said is actually the view of ordinary people!

Movement requires money and food.

Now that the people of Dayan are cheated by profiteers, how can they support the army to attack Chu?

Please think twice!”

Yang Hong was really scared by Yuan Shu. He basically opposed anyone who wanted to attack Chu.

Yuan Shao was inspired by his words and began to hesitate again.

Xu You took the opportunity to say to Yuan Shao:

"The king first solved the people's livelihood issues of Yecheng people, and then considered the matter of attacking Chu."

Yuan Shao spread his hands helplessly and said:

"Those people who were cheated by profiteers asked their orphans to help them.

It's really ridiculous. How could I give them money for nothing?

But if you don’t agree to them, these troublemakers have to make trouble again, which is really hateful!"

Xu You's eyes rolled and he smiled at Yuan Shao:

"Ministers believe that the reason why the people cannot bear the risk of losing money is because their income is too low.

You have a plan to solve the problem of low-income groups lacking money."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this, he looked at Xu You and said:

"oh?

What good advice does Ziyuan have? Come quickly!"

Xu You clamped his beard and smiled:

"It is actually very simple to solve the problem of people's lack of money, so that they can make good use of their property."

Ju Su asked in confusion:

"What does Lord Xu mean?"

Xu You waved his sleeves and talked:

“I will give you two examples and you will understand.

People can use their own carriages to pull hangs on the streets to supplement their household income.

You can also rent out your idle houses, which is also an income.

As long as you use your brain, how can you be short of money?"

Ju Su's face turned pale when he was angry after Xu You's words.

Poor people even have a problem with their meals, so where do they get carriages and real estate?

With Xu You's IQ, he would not be unaware of the sufferings of the people, but he still talks so sarcastically, and he is simply the most traitor in the Great Yan!

"King..."

Ju Su was about to refute Xu You, but Yuan Shao laughed and said:

"Xu Ziyuan's plan is very wonderful!

Why didn't Gu expect it?

Let the officials in Yecheng answer the people as Xu Qing said.

Let them take the initiative and rent houses and rent them, so as to make less trouble for the orphans!”

"The king is wise!"

The counselors in the hall sang praises Yuan Shao in unison. Ju Su had no choice but to sigh and shut his mouth consciously.

If he continues to advise, Tian Feng is his lesson.

Ju Su suddenly felt very disappointed. He felt that the king had changed and was no longer the wise and powerful lord of the past.

Since the king unified the four prefectures of Hebei and had hundreds of thousands of troops, he has become very stupid.

The good words of himself and Tian Feng will basically not be adopted by Yuan Shao.

After the plan was over, the advisers dispersed.

When Xu You went out, Ju Su suddenly glared at him and shouted in a low voice:

"Little man!"

Xu You was not angry either, and turned to look at Ju Su and showed a despicable smile:

"My brother, do you know why the king relies more on me, Xu Ziyuan?

Because I don't like to meddle in other people's business."

After saying that, Xu You walked out of the palace with great strides, leaving Ju Su standing alone in a daze.

...

After Yuan Shu defeated the Qiang and Di tribes, he led a large army to Jincheng.

The Chu army launched a fierce attack on Jincheng.

Although Sun Li, the governor of Yongliang, tried his best to defend, the strength difference was too great. After fighting every day, the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties.

On the sixth day after the Chu army attacked Jincheng, Sun Li's army of 100,000 was left with less than 30,000 people.

Looking at the irresistible Chu army under the city, Sun Li felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The Han army in the city was already at the end of its strength, and the equipment and the ordnances guarding the city were seriously damaged.

Not to mention the soldiers under his command, even the armor on his own was in ruins.

After barely repelling another wave of attack from the Chu army, Sun Li also added two new wounds to his body.

The Chu army's strict army separated to the sides, wearing silver armor, and the majestic Chu King Yuan Shu surrounded him and came down to the city.
