Chapter 173
Regarding Han Zhan's request, Ju Su instinctively said: "Ju is a little talented and knowledgeable, and it is difficult to be competent. Tinghou should ask another master."
But after he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little wrong, so he quickly looked around. He saw his son Juhu standing aside like a wood carving, with his expressionless face hanging down his hands; while his official fan brother Juzong kept rubbing his hands, like an ant on a hot pan.
He thought that his family is in Jizhou now, even if he is unwilling to serve Han Zhan, he could not stop his brother and son from finding a job under Han Zhan. He sighed softly and said to Han Zhan: "Mr. Tinghou, my brother has always wanted to serve Tinghou, but Tinghou was worried that his work in Jizhou would endanger my life, so he refused to agree. Now that he has returned safely, I wonder if Tinghou can arrange a suitable job for my brother. Also," he looked at his son and continued, "The dog son Juhu has some ability. If Mengtinghou does not give up, can he also give him a job?"
After Han Zhan and Ju Su finished speaking, they looked at Ju Hu first, and saw the other party standing aside with his head down, saying no, as if they hadn't heard about him at all. As for Ju Zong, seeing Han Zhan looking at him, he nodded and expressed kindness to Han Zhan.
Han Zhan thought to himself: "After Yuan Shao died, Ju Hu helped Yuan Shang guard Handan, but was shot to death by Zhang Liao. He is also considered a loyal minister. But Ju Zong has never heard of him. I don't know how capable he is and whether he is reliable."
However, in order to give Ju Shu a face, even if Ju Zong was a wine bag, he could only pinch his nose and accept it. So he smiled and said to Ju Shu: "Mr. Ju, please rest assured. Brother Ling and Master Ling, after this marquis go back, he will definitely ask Changshi Xun to arrange a suitable position for them."
When Ju Zong learned that Han Zhan was willing to arrange a position for him, he was immediately happy. Although Ju Hu tried his best to control his emotions and wanted to pretend to be calm and unlucky, his slightly upturned mouth exposed the joy in his heart.
After Han Zhan handled the matter between Ju Zong and Ju Hu, he continued to persuade Ju Su: "Mr. Ju, I heard that when Yuan Benchu first entered Jizhou, he visited him. He said to his husband: Now that the traitor ministers are in chaos, the court moves westward, and my Yuan family has been favored for generations. I am determined to do my best to restore the Han Dynasty. However, if Duke Huan of Qi did not have Guan Zhong, he would not be overlord, and if Gou Jian did not have Fan Li, he could not protect Yue. I want to work together with you and safeguard the country together. I wonder what you have to do?"
Hearing what Han Zhan said, Ju Zong and Ju Hu's expressions changed drastically, and they thought Han Zhan was going to settle the score in the autumn. However, Ju Su nodded slightly and said with a normal expression: "That's right, this is indeed the case."
Han Zhan focused his attention on Ju Su, without paying attention to the reactions of others, and continued: "Mr. replied: When the general entered the court at a young age, he became famous in the country. When he was abolished, he could promote loyalty and righteousness; when he rode alone, he frightened Dong Zhuo. When he crossed the river and went north, the Bohai Sea followed his orders; he had a county soldier and gathered the people of Jizhou. His reputation was higher than that of the world! If the general first launched an army to fight eastward, he could determine the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou; and he would also attack Heishan, and eliminate Zhang Yan. Then he returned to the north to fight Gongsun Zan; shocked Rongdi and subjugated the Xiongnu. You can have the four states north of the Yellow River, so you can acquire the heroic talents, gather a million troops, welcome the emperor to Xijing, and restore the ancestral temple to Luoyang. With this command, the world will be punished and punished, who can resist?"
After Han Zhan finished speaking, Ju Su nodded again and said lightly: "I didn't expect that the conversation between Su and Yuan Benchu was so clear. If Tinghou wanted to deal with Su, he would do it." He looked at his son and brother with great concern, "But please ask Tinghou to be kind and let Su's family go."
"Mr. Ju misunderstood." Han Zhan said to Ju Su: "I said these words to you are not to blame you, but to think what you said is quite reasonable. Now I have taken back Jizhou, and then conquer Qingzhou in the east, Youzhou in the north, and Bingzhou in the west. After having the four states, we will welcome the emperor to Yecheng and use the emperor to command the world..."
Ju Su did not expect Han Zhan to have such ambitions. He fell into deep thought: Should he continue to work at home or go out to play for Han Zhan.
Seeing that Ju Su had not answered for a long time, Han Zhan felt that if he didn't give up a strong medicine, today's visit would be in vain. Therefore, he continued to say: "A smart person can see through the world, but often cannot see the traps around him. If he meets a stubborn lord, even if he has great skills, it is useless. Mr. Ju, it is very dangerous to follow the wrong person. Not only will he have a head to the ground at any time, but he will even implicate his family. Even if you find that Yuan Shao is not a wise master, you don't have to be so discouraged. People have many choices, so you must not hang yourself in a tree."
After hearing Han Zhan’s heartfelt words, Ju Zong also said to him: “Brother, it is sincere to invite you to become an official. I don’t think you have to refuse.” After that, he kept winking at Ju Hu who was standing aside, signaling him to say a few words.
"Father," Ju Hu stepped forward, bowed to Ju Zu and said, "Ting Hou Xiande is a rare wise master. I beg you to come out and serve Ting Hou."
Seeing that his son and brother were persuading him, Ju Su knew that there was no point in ruling him. He sighed, got up and came to Han Zhan, bowed and bowed: "See you to meet the Marquis of Ting. From now on, Ju Su is willing to stay in Jizhou to serve the work of Tinghou for the Marquis of Ting."
Seeing that Ju Su agreed to serve him, Han Zhan couldn't help laughing, stood up and held Ju Su, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Ju is willing to serve me, he should still serve as the military supervisor and General Fenwei."
Ju Su didn't expect Han Zhan to be so generous. After he surrendered, he actually let himself take his original official position. Just this tolerance level made Ju Su feel warm in his heart.
Since Ju Su had surrendered to him, Han Zhan began to talk to him about the important matters: "Mr. Ju, if you want to welcome the emperor to Jizhou, the most suitable place for capital is Yecheng. Do you have any good ways to ask Yuan Shao to hand over Yecheng to us?"
