Chapter 745: Die for the country!
The spring rain was drizzling, the branches and leaves were sprouting, the soil on the ground was slightly wet, and the army passed by without raising any dust.
Ye City was broken and the gates of Zhao State were wide open!
Luo Yan led the last army of Zhao State and appeared. The Wei army, which had just conquered Ye City, once again joined the battle.
When the Zhao army fell into a disadvantage and was forced to retreat and regroup, everyone fell into the deepest despair.
"Jeong-nam is dead."
The news of Shen Pei's death had already reached the Zhao army. Luo Yan sighed, "Zhengnan is truly the crown of the Zhao scholars!"
Everyone was immersed in the shock of the loss of Yecheng and Shen Pei's martyrdom, and no one spoke.
Upon hearing this, Qu Yi felt extremely ashamed and said, "I should have died in Yecheng. If I had fought back, I might have been able to hold on. I wouldn't have to endure this humiliation now, being trampled and humiliated by those pig-like people.
Thousands of years later, I may still be the subject of criticism from others, and a stepping stone for those pigs and dogs. How despicable. "
The "pigs and dogs" that Qu Yi mentioned refer to the generals in the Wei army. If he were in his prime, he would not take any of these people seriously. But now he is defeated due to the national strength of Zhao and has to retreat. How can Qu Yi accept this?
In this world, success is everything, and losers are trampled into the dirt, as if they were worthless.
The ministers of Zhao State were all the most outstanding strategists and generals in the world, but they will be unknown in history books because of the failure of Zhao State. Who can accept this!
Everyone felt a little sad.
Seeing this, Luo Yan said slowly: "The historians write down their achievements. Our Zhao State may not be recognized by future generations, but the talents and wisdom of our people will definitely be recorded in the history books, and the historians will certainly give us a fair evaluation."
After hearing what Luo Yan said, the depressed mood in everyone's hearts was slightly relieved. For people like them, not being able to be recorded in history books was a very scary thing, but now they finally had a hope.
The historian will give a fair evaluation.
In this era, people all over the world regard the history books funded by Luo as the official history, because people all over the world only believe that Luo will write truthfully and record the events that happened in history impartially.
The daily records of those who followed the king would also be selected by Luo, and the untrue parts would be removed. This is why there are almost no perfect people in history books.
Looking at the ministers who were slightly more motivated, Luo Yan said in a deep voice: "Everyone, let's discuss the next matters. We don't have the chance to fail again."
…
In the Wei army camp.
After defeating the Zhao reinforcements as expected, the entire Wei camp breathed a sigh of relief. Once Ye City was broken, Zhao was really at its wit's end.
However, Cao Cao did not completely relax. He always remembered that Liu Bei was on the way.
However, he was a person who was always unwilling to admit that others were stronger, so he deliberately smiled and said, "This Liu Xuande is really ridiculous.
He must be planning to cause both Wei and Zhao to suffer heavy losses, and then reap the benefits.
But they didn't know that the State of Zhao was vulnerable.
He wanted to do the "besiege Wei to save Zhao" move.
However, they do not know that times have changed. Our Cao Wei is not the Wei State of the Warring States Period, and Yuan and Zhao are not the Zhao State of the Warring States Period with its beautiful mountains and rivers.
Now, my Wei State is about to destroy the Zhao State.
Liu Xuande is waiting for both Wei and Zhao to be defeated, but I feel he is waiting for death."
After saying this, he suddenly burst into laughter. All the generals in the camp laughed out loud, and their laughter was full of ridicule.
After mocking Liu Bei, Cao Cao felt much happier, and then waved his hand and said, "But Liu Xuande is indeed a great man and should not be underestimated. Our army is now unstoppable and more troops are coming to help. We are not afraid of the combined forces of Chu and Zhao.
I have decided to lead 40,000 infantry and cavalry to confront Liu Xuande, and then order my general to lead 30,000 infantry and cavalry to destroy the State of Zhao and take Handan directly.
Generals, listen to my orders! "
All the generals of Wei State stood up from their seats almost at the same time and said in unison: "Yes!"
Liu Bei, who had been waiting for a long time, learned the news of the fall of Ye City and realized that it was time for him to attack.
Swords and spears were like forests, and soldiers were like rain. Although the Chu State could only lead 20,000 soldiers in this battle due to limited food and grass, almost all of the generals and counselors in the country came out.
In this battle, Liu Bei was determined to slow down the advance of Wei even at the risk of his life.
As long as Cao Cao fails, it will be a great success for Liu Bei!
…
The news of the fall of Yecheng spread in Wei and then to Handan, the capital of Zhao. This was another strategy devised by Cao Cao and others to intimidate King Yuan Tan of Zhao, the Queen Mother and others.
This trick works very well.
The Queen Mother of Zhao summoned the King of Zhao to her palace and asked with fear on her face: "King of Zhao, Yecheng has been lost. Can our State of Zhao still defend itself?"
Yuan Tan was also filled with fear, but he still forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. The Prime Minister is here. He has already led the army there, and with the help of King Liu Xuande of Chu, our Zhao State will be safe."
How could the Queen Mother not see that Yuan Tan was feeling guilty?
Her voice immediately became sharp, like a piece of glass scratching another piece of glass, and she shouted loudly: "Is Luo Yan a god?
If Yecheng is lost, Handan will also be lost!
We are all prisoners of Wei!
It’s better not to…”
Queen Mother Wang's voice stopped abruptly. Yuan Tan had thought about surrendering, but the ministers disagreed, so he had to give up. Now he heard what Liu said. He hurriedly asked, "What does the Queen Mother want to say?"
The Queen Mother glanced at Yuan Tan and calmed down, saying, "It's nothing, King Zhao, please leave first."
Yuan Tan walked out of the hall with an ugly look on his face. He knew that Queen Mother Wang must have been hiding something from him.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Zhen Mi got the news, she was drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror. Her hands trembled for a moment, then she continued to draw. When she finished her makeup, she looked at herself in the mirror and gently brushed her eyes, "It's invaluable, how invaluable is it?
It's like a joke.
I just hope my husband can come back safely."
The Zhao State is on the verge of collapse, and people's hearts are in turmoil. Everyone has their own thoughts!
…
On the Wei-Zhao front, facing the Wei army's overwhelming offensive, the Zhao army was finally able to hold off temporarily.
But Luo Yan and others did not feel happy at all, and their hearts only felt sinking.
Once again, Cao's army was repelled. Luo Yan wiped the blood off his face and asked in a deep voice, "How long has it been since Cao Cao appeared?"
Soon someone gave him the answer, "Half a month!
During this half month, the commander in charge of the war between Wei and Zhao was Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang.
Cao Cao might have gone to intercept King Liu Bei of Chu."
Everyone's heart was sinking. The Wei army was divided into two groups, and the main force would definitely go against the Chu army.
But even so, they are still able to suppress their own team. How can they not feel desperate?
Even Cao Cao's son Cao Ang could lead a war without any mistakes. Could King Zhao do it?
I'm afraid it's impossible, otherwise the one appearing at the front line now should be Prince of Zhao Yuan Tan, not the minister Luo Yan!
Even the next generation of Wei State was stronger than Zhao State. How could one not feel that this was God's will and how could one not feel despair?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Luo Yan slowly said: "My colleagues are all very talented people. Before this war started, you must have known that it would be difficult for Zhao to win with its national strength.
But why are you colleagues still willing to stand here?
General Qu, why are you standing here?
You, Qu Zhengze, are well-known throughout the world and are well-known among the princes. You are a world-class general. If you surrendered to Cao Cao in Yecheng, you would definitely be given a high position. Why are you fighting with us here now?"
Qu Yi didn't expect Luo Yan to call his name, he stood up, then raised his head and looked down at everyone and said: "Who doesn't know why?
It’s just that I haven’t yet repaid the previous king’s grace!
Shen Zhengnan and I were guarding Yecheng. We had always been at odds with each other, but neither of us had ever thought of killing the other.
I don't like him; he is too arrogant and conceited.
But I like one of his words very much: Born as a minister of the Yuan family, and die as a ghost of the Yuan family, that's all! "
Qu Yi's words were simple but thought-provoking. Anyone who could appear here was ready to die.
When people look at these scholars, they always regard them as the embodiment of interests and analyze all their behaviors based on their identities.
But this kind of labeling behavior is the stupidest thing.
Sages from ancient times to the present, both in China and abroad, have said that human beings are extremely complex.
Most people who come from wealthy backgrounds hold conservative attitudes; this is called a class that has not betrayed its class, but among them there are still many individuals who betray the interests of their class.
Without these people who master advanced productive forces and the direction of progress, the world would not be able to progress so quickly.
There is a thing called ideal in this world.
But many people don't believe it and are only willing to believe that it is all for their own benefit.
Xun Yu chose to die when the Cao Wei Group was at its peak.
He gave up the position of Prime Minister of Wei that was within his reach, he gave up the glory of having a separate biography in history books that was within his reach, he gave up the future of the Xun family becoming the first family of Cao Wei, and he gave up a dynasty that he could describe and rule as he pleased.
What should be used to explain this?
If we use conspiracy theories to speculate, what would he want to get in order to make up for the losses his death caused to the Xun family and himself?
He has an ideal, and he is willing to go through fire and water and even die for it.
Xun Yu is dead.
Xun Chen was also ready to die.
If these two were alive, plus Xun You, how powerful would the Xun family be?
But that's not what they want.
Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others were all from Hebei gentry. If these three were willing to surrender to Cao Wei, even if they were not valued for the time being, with their talents, they would eventually stand out and it would not be difficult to preserve the family's wealth.
But Shen Pei went to his death without hesitation, Ju Su followed the army to the front line, and Tian Feng took care of the logistics and food in Handan, and was one of the most pro-war ministers.
Looking at the expressions of the crowd who were united in their hatred of the enemy, Luo Yan knew that there was nothing worth saying anymore.
He drew out his sword, which shone with light, and said slowly: "If that's the case, anyone who wants to enter Handan will have to step over our dead bodies."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"
…
When Cao Cao was still around, the Wei army and the Zhao army had been fighting for a few days. Cao Cao said to the Wei officials with emotion: "When I met Shen Zhengnan before, I felt that it was a blessing for the Yuan family to have such a scholar in Hebei. Now we are fighting, and we are obviously at a disadvantage, but we cannot defeat them and we cannot surrender even after persuasion. It is really rare."
The Zhao State was at a disadvantage in terms of the number of soldiers and had to defend several places, so both generals and counselors were in short supply.
After Shen Pei's death, the only people with commander-in-chief talent left in Zhao State were Zhang He and Luo Yan. Luo Yan was in command, and Qu Yi followed Luo Yan to command the central army.
Zhang He and Xun Chen led a detachment of troops. Ju Su had the talent to command the army. He had always been one of the chief military officers of the State of Zhao. He also led a detachment of troops. The three armies each occupied the terrain and helped each other.
Cao Ang sent Wei generals to attack the camp fiercely. The Wei army was like an overwhelming tide, and the arrows fell like a real rain of arrows.
Among the three armies, Xun Chen's army was the weakest. After Guo Jia saw through it, he immediately launched a fierce attack on Xun Chen's army.
Ju Su led his army to come to the rescue and harassed the Wei army, but he didn't know that he had fallen into Guo Jia's trap.
It turned out that the fierce attack on Xun Chen's army was just a feint. At the beginning, what the Wei army had to do was to surround the point and attack the reinforcements, and to capture Ju Su and Luo Yan who came to reinforce.
The Wei army had too many people, and with the flags waving, it was impossible for Ju Su to know how many people there were.
He didn't dare to gamble either.
He had no choice but to fight back, which was exactly what Guo Jia wanted. Xu Chu, whom Cao Cao had specially left for Cao Ang, led his army to occupy Ju Su's camp, cutting off Ju Su's retreat.
There are Wei troops in front and behind.
There were also large armies fighting in the distance. Ju Su looked from afar and saw that the Luo Yan army was trying to rush forward, but was blocked by the Wei army.
Xun Chen's army, which was under fierce attack, was trapped in the camp and could not get out.
The Wei army rushed forward in formation like a tide, and countless arrows were thrown down. Countless Zhao soldiers fell in the rain of arrows, and even more fled.
Many of these soldiers were not experienced in battle, and faced with such a crushing defeat, fleeing in all directions was the only outcome.
But there were hundreds of people around Ju Su, they were the real elite of Zhao State. Some of them held shields, some held spears, some carried bows and arrows, and some wore armor.
Amid the sound of drums, they were constantly responding to the surging attacks of the Wei army and the fleeing soldiers.
As time passed, the number of Zhao troops became smaller and smaller, while the number of Wei troops surrounding them increased.
Suddenly a loud shout came from the Wei army, "Ju Su, are you willing to surrender?
If you are willing to surrender, the court will treat you with courtesy, high positions and generous titles, and you will enjoy endless benefits. "
Then all the soldiers shouted in unison: "Ju Shou, are you going to surrender or not?!"
Ju Su's face turned cold, and he also said loudly: "Ju Su will never surrender, the only option is death."
However, Cao Ang was very patient. Ju Shou was a man of great talent and one of the leaders of the Hebei gentry. If Ju Shou led the way when conquering Zhao in the future, Wei would be able to better occupy Zhao.
In particular, Cao Ang knew that his father wanted to make Yecheng the capital of Wei in order to completely separate the political influence from the Han Emperor. Yecheng, as a big city far away from Xuchang and located in Hebei, was the most suitable choice.
After Ju Shou and others entered the Wei State, they were able to check and balance the increasingly powerful Yingchuan gentry, killing two birds with one stone.
He sent people to inquire again and continued the attack, but Ju Shou still refused to surrender and his resistance became more fierce.
It was not until this time that Cao Ang realized that what Ju Shou said was true. He really wanted to fight to the end and never surrender. This made Cao Ang's face change immediately.
In order to persuade Ju Su to surrender, he simply ordered the archers to stop shooting and only sent the armored soldiers forward.
But the current outcome made Cao Ang's face change again and again. He was a little conflicted for a moment. A scout came riding over and reported to Cao Ang that Luo Yan and others were charging too fiercely and needed support from the central army.
Cao Ang immediately made up his mind, closed his eyes, and then waved his hand and said, "Shoot, kill them all, and take no prisoners!"
At his command, not only archers, but also shield soldiers and heavy crossbows appeared in front of everyone. In an instant, arrows rained down. The heavy crossbow arrows pierced through the bodies of the Zhao soldiers, and some were even pierced directly.
The blood flowed out and soaked the ground.
The greatest thing about human beings is their wisdom, and human wisdom is always reflected in wars, because the strongest talent of human beings is to kill their own kind, and countless weapons that are more conducive to killing people have been invented.
The brilliant life was so fragile at this moment, but Ju Su's mind had become strong to the extreme. As the soldiers standing in front of him fell one by one, the arrows swarmed in.
Ju Su's pupils suddenly widened.
The breath of death filled his mind almost instantly.
His body was thrown high into the air, then pierced through the ground, and then countless arrows shot at him.
There were three arrows stuck in Ju Shou's face and more than ten arrows on his chest and abdomen. He looked almost unrecognizable from his original appearance.
Do you regret it?
Ju Su felt that he had no regrets.
He was so smart that he could even see part of the future. He didn't want to face that future, so maybe it was a good thing for him to die now.
His world fell into darkness.
Looking at the land full of arrows, where no one could possibly exist, Cao Ang said with emotion, "Why bother?
Zhongda, you say.
Is there anything more important than being alive?"
Sima Yi said righteously: "In the hearts of scholars like us, perhaps the teachings of saints are more important.
If I were in Ju Su's position, I would probably do the same thing."
Cao Ang was startled when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Yes, Ju Su is a righteous man, and these Zhao soldiers are all righteous men.
Just as my father said, there are so many righteous men in Hebei.
If God had not blessed the Yuan family, how could our Cao family be so powerful here now?
Although he is an enemy, his loyalty is something we cannot help but respect.
They were buried and an inscription was written on the grave: "The Tomb of Jushou and Five Hundred Loyal Men in Hebei Province".
The rest of you, follow me to meet Young Master Yan!
Let's see who this Young Master Luo is. "
When Luo Yan heard the shouting and killing from Ju Shou stopped, he knew it was too late. With a gloomy face, he said slowly and solemnly: "I'm afraid Gong Yu has died for his country."
After Shen Pei's death, another real high-ranking official of Zhao State died.
That was Ju Shou. When Luo Yan had not yet come to Hebei, he was the second in command of Hebei. When Yuan Shao was still the governor of Jizhou, he was the deputy governor, leading the entire Hebei and in charge of the military and administrative power of Hebei. Only Xun Chen could compete with him.
After Luo Yan entered Hebei, Ju Su's status declined, but not much. Yuan Shao still allowed Ju Su to control considerable military power, and he was even slightly above Shen Pei.
His death is basically equivalent to the death of Xiahou Dun in Cao Cao's camp and the death of Guan Yu in Liu Bei's camp.
The shock to the people of Zhao State was huge.
Cao Ang led his army forward and asked Luo Yan loudly: "Prince Yan, Ju Su is unwilling to surrender and has already surrendered. Do you want to follow his example?
If you are willing to surrender, my country of Wei has a position of duke and minister ready for you."
Luo Yan proudly replied: "Have you ever heard of the Luo family members who surrendered?
Shen Zhengnan and Ju Gong died for their country and their deaths were worthy. Would Luo's son, on the other hand, surrender for the sake of so-called wealth and glory because he is afraid of death?
Since Lord Ju is dead, my army will form a battle array here and allow you to attack. I, Luo Yan, want to see if you can break through my battle array."
Luo Yan thought Cao Ang would continue to fight back, but she saw a slightly strange smile on Cao Ang's face, and heard him say leisurely: "Young Master Yan, you are a talented person.
If I lead my army to attack, victory will naturally belong to me, but I'm afraid that all I will get in the end is a corpse.
This is what I don't want.
This is what my father doesn't want to see.
The father hopes that the prince can assist him, or assist the next King of Wei.
Everyone has shortcomings in this world.
Or maybe everyone has something more important, and for the sake of something more important, they can give up some unimportant things. I am looking forward to that day. "
Cao Ang's words sounded like the ultimate riddler, making it impossible to understand what he was saying and no one knew what he wanted to say.
However, Luo Yan felt a chill in her heart, because Cao Ang's words revealed that Cao Cao had long been eyeing her and had even made countless preparations for this.
If this is the case, then how much preparation did Cao Cao make and what exactly did he want to do?
If Cao Cao had not been restrained by the moral bottom line of this world, if he had not been taught by the lessons of the past, if he had not been persuaded by Xun Yu all along.
He could do anything.
You should know that there is a word "violent" in the artifact's evaluation of Cao Cao. This word may be quite rare. Even border warriors like Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu were not evaluated with the word "violent".
Cao Cao is quite unscrupulous in doing things. Now the only person who restrains him, Xun Yu, is dead, so Luo Yan is no exception to whatever he does.
After Cao Ang finished speaking, he retreated back to the army. He stood in the center of the army and waved his hand gently. Then the army pressed forward. Even though Cao Cao had been prepared for a long time, Cao Ang would naturally not give up attacking Luo Yan.
Maybe he captured Luo Yan before Cao Cao launched his backup plan?
Then, by taking two approaches at the same time, we can naturally persuade Luo Yan to surrender.
Luo Yan was full of confusion. He didn't know what means Cao Cao could use to force him to surrender. The Luo family would not serve two masters. This was the bottom line. No matter what kind of coercion or inducement, it would be useless to him.
"Could something happen in Handan? Hasn't it been like this since ancient times? If you can't find a breakthrough from yourself, then find a breakthrough from the people around you."
Others were equally puzzled, and someone said something unconsciously.
Luo Yan suddenly shuddered.
In this era, there was a special kind of city where the families of soldiers who went on expeditions lived to prevent the soldiers from betraying them. For example, Cao Cao's Wei army was basically like this.
This method can indeed ensure the combat effectiveness and loyalty of the soldiers, but the downside is that once the city changes hands, the army will be defeated and all the soldiers' families will be in the hands of the enemy. What's the point of fighting then?
Even modern nationalism uses defending the country to boost morale and protecting family and country to boost fighting will. The importance of family can be imagined.
Luo Yan's master, wife and children are all in Handan. If something unexpected happens in Handan, he will be a rootless person. What should he do then?
…
Handan.
"How dare you, thieves, enter the palace with weapons!"
“Puff!”
His head flew up and then fell to the ground, and he died with his eyes open.
In the palace of King Zhao!
The ground was covered with blood. Yuan Tan looked at Queen Mother Wang and Yuan Shang in anger and shouted, "You are committing regicide!"
The Queen Mother said coldly: "What do you mean by regicide? Who said I want to kill you?
I am the Queen Mother of Zhao. I have the power granted to me by our ancestral family law to dethrone you. Zhao has declined to this extent in your hands. You are not qualified to be the King of Zhao."
For the throne?
Yuan Tan thought it was really ridiculous.
He laughed loudly, but his laughter was full of mockery: "The State of Zhao is about to be destroyed, and you still want the throne. Are you so impatient to become the king of a fallen country?"
The Queen Mother said with disdain: "The position of King Zhao is naturally not important. If the former king were still alive, if he were the King Zhao at the time, it would naturally be a popular position.
Now's?
snort!
When Shang'er became the King of Zhao, he immediately opened the city and surrendered to the State of Wei. If he continues to resist like this, what will be the outcome except death?
Do you think that a woman like me can make it here with such an overwhelming force?
If you hadn't refused to surrender, I wouldn't be standing here now, and there wouldn't be so many people supporting Shang'er."
Yuan Tan's stupid brain finally reacted and realized, "So that's it."
It turned out that the prime minister and his people were the minority in Zhao State, and most people were unwilling to continue following Yuan's ship.
Fearing that his country would be destroyed and his family would be ruined, he wanted to surrender directly to preserve his wealth.
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly urgent, they were determined to take action even if it meant being charged with regicide.
If the Queen Mother fails, I'm afraid those people will have to do it themselves.
Yuan Tan suddenly realized something and asked coldly, "Queen Mother, where is Tian Fengtian Yuan Hao?"
Yuan Shang said proudly: "He was unwilling to submit to me and even spoke filthy words. I have already killed him in front of the palace."
As he spoke, he threw the cloth bag in his hand directly over and laughed loudly, "This is the old thief Tian Feng."
Tian Feng's head, with his eyes open in death, rolled down at Yuan Tan's feet, staring at Yuan Tan, which made him shudder. He could imagine how angry Tian Feng, who had always been upright, must have been when facing the Queen Mother Wang and Yuan Shang who were responsible for the coup. He must have yelled at the two of them and then been brutally killed.
Yuan Tan felt that he couldn't think any further, so he held Tian Feng's head in his arms with tears in his eyes, and then shouted to everyone, "Do you want to be charged with regicide in the history books?
Do you want to be infamous in history books forever?
If you do not wish to bear such a crime, then obey my command and kill the villain Yuan Shang.
I am willing to obey your will and surrender to Cao Cao.
Kill Yuan Shang and avenge Tian Qing!
You will get what you want most!"
As soon as Yuan Tan said this, Queen Mother Wang and Yuan Shang's faces suddenly changed, while the faces of other people in the hall brightened. Who would be willing to bear the crime of regicide!
That would make it impossible for the family to recover for at least dozens or hundreds of years!
If Yuan Tan is willing to surrender, then Queen Mother Wang and Yuan Shang are useless!
"What are you going to do?"
The Queen Mother's shrill voice was heard, and then blood splattered and Yuan Shang's head flew off.
————
Ju Su had a great reputation when he was young. He was well-known among the scholars in Hebei. When Yuan Shao established a base in Hebei, Ju Su was the first to achieve great success. Over the years, he fought in many battles in the south and the north, and made great contributions. He was proud of being among the scholars in Hebei. Ju Su was loyal and upright. When the Pseudo-Zhao Dynasty was in decline, Ju Su wanted to surrender to the Zhao Dynasty, but Ju Su would rather die than surrender. He was persuaded again and again, but Ju Su refused to surrender. He kept urging him, saying, "If you don't surrender, I am willing to die."
Arrows rained down upon him and he was wounded more than twenty times. He died for the false Zhao and was buried with great honor. A tombstone inscribed with the words "Hebei hero"
Tian Feng was a wise man, outstanding among all the men in Hebei. Shao said that Yan, Shu, and Pei were not as good as him, but he was stubborn and offended his superiors several times, but Shao forgave him all the time. Feng was grateful to Shao and could not repay Shao's kindness, so he devoted himself to serving Shao and dying. When Shao's wife Liu and three sons forced him to abdicate, Feng stood in front of the palace and angrily rebuked them. He knew death was not a fear, and was also a loyal minister of Hebei! - "Book of Wei·Biographies of Xun Shen and Tian in Luoju"
