The turmoil among the aristocratic families is just an undercurrent, not intense. Because they are unable to resist Yuan Shu at all, and they have no way to deal with it. Therefore, although many aristocratic families hate Tian Feng and Yuan Shu, they show no resistance at all.

, extremely obedient. Each one brought a large gift to the treasury of Da Chu and Tian's home. Tian Feng was very happy during this period, and the civil and military officers under Yuan Shu even brought these gifts to Tian Feng's family every day when they were free.

I couldn't read the precious classics that were presented, which set off a wave of learning.

People's ability and talent are only one aspect, and acquired learning is also crucial. People like Guo Jia and Jia Xu are extremely talented, and they can still become top counselors today if they learn a lot of things. But if they had obtained such

Xun You's general systematic and complete education may go even further. Why do aristocratic families have so many talented people? From the original Xun Family Eight Dragons to the current Xun Yu, Xun You, Xun Chen, and Xun Yue, it is because of their profound background and good education.

The classics sent by the aristocratic families are all treasured by them, and the last ones are those of the level of San Gong or above. Even for counselors of the level of Jia Xu and Tian Feng, they are of great benefit, not to mention other people.

adviser.

The same goes for military generals. There are several versions of Sun Tzu's detailed explanation of the Art of War. They are all comments on Sun Tzu's Art of War by famous generals in the past. Sun Jian's eyes turned red when he saw it. He held on tightly and refused to let go. He has always been known as the descendant of Sun Tzu.

How could he not pay attention to these books despite his self-proclaimed status? He immediately begged Yuan Shu to let him make a copy, and promised that he would treat this as a family study and never spread it to others.

Yuan Shu agreed nonchalantly. Just kidding, after a few years of unification of the world, he plans to popularize this thing. Is there any difference if it is spread externally or not?

It has to be said that the inheritance of these predecessors is indeed extremely precious. After Yuan Shu allowed it to be circulated by his subordinates, the results were far beyond Yuan Shu's expectations. In other words, Yuan Shu did not realize the seriousness of the inheritance gap in this era, and the civil servants did not mention it.

, the progress of the generals made Yuan Shu dumbfounded.

Military books are much scarcer than political strategy books. This is because famous generals may not necessarily be able to write, and many died early, leaving only a few. Most of Yuan Shu’s military generals were born with mud-legged backgrounds.

, started with one or half a volume of military books, and accumulated experience in leading troops through constant fighting.

Just like Gan Ning and Cai Mao, the gap in talent is huge, but when it comes to fighting, the gap is almost as big. In the past, Yuan Shu did not have many military tactics in his hands, and it was difficult to force Zhou Yu. People like Cai Hao called out their teachers and family studies, so they could only try their best.

Let him teach. But if the master teaches his disciples to starve to death, who is willing to help him? Even Zhou Yu, who is as open-minded as Zhou Yu, will hide a few tricks, and Cai Mao will not reveal it at all. This is human nature, and Yuan Shu can't say much.

.

But now that he finally has the stock in hand, Yuan Shu naturally spreads it everywhere, and generals such as Zhang Liao and Wei Yan rush to borrow it and constantly supplement their own shortcomings. With so many famous generals, each of them reveals a little bit about their skills, and the sum total is extremely impressive.

The most obvious example is that by combining the details of the formation in these military books, the power of the formation will be increased by at least one to two percent.

...

Three months later, Youzhou.

The biting north wind was accompanied by heavy snow falling. At this time, Youzhou was covered by heavy snow and covered with ice for thousands of miles.

Gongsun Zan stood on the city wall of Ji County, looking at the flying snow in the sky, his eyes were extremely empty.

"Your Majesty, the weather is cold, you should go back to the palace to rest. There are ministers watching here!" Tian Yu said.

At this time, compared with three months ago, Tian Yu seemed to be more than ten years older. His face was haggard, his beard and hair were faintly white, and his eyes were full of exhaustion.

Gongsun Zan turned a deaf ear to Tian Yu's words and still stood there as quietly as a bronze statue, looking very lonely.

"Alas." Tian Yu sighed lightly.

Gongsun Zan has been standing here for a whole day, and he has also been accompanying and persuading him for a whole day. If not for both of them being second-rate generals or above, they would have been frozen into ice sculptures for one day in this cold wind and heavy snow. .

"Huh!" Gongsun Zan took a long breath, recalling his life with mixed emotions, and sighed to Tian Yu: "Guorang, do you think I was wrong?"

Hearing this, Tian Yu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty has already felt it in his heart, so why bother asking Yu again?"

"It seems that I was really wrong." Gongsun Zan said with a solemn tone: "I am timid, cowardly and selfish. I am really unbearable."

"It will be good if Your Majesty can wake up in time. As long as Your Majesty can maintain his true intentions, we Youzhou soldiers will still try our best to follow you!" After hearing this, Tian Yu's eyes flashed with hope and he said firmly.

"It's too late now." Gongsun Zan said calmly: "In just three months, almost all of Youzhou fell. I have been surrounded by Yuan Shao, and I can only defend this Ji County. With enemies on all sides and no reinforcements, what chance do I have? Can you say that?"

Gongsun Zan shocked the world when he flooded Beiping. Although he destroyed Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000, it also cut off his own way of survival. The blood in the hearts of the united soldiers under his command was directly extinguished by a basin of cold water. In addition, Being at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, Yuan Shao gave him no chance to breathe, but within a month he organized another 100,000 troops to march north.

Facing an enemy several times his own, Shan Jing garrisoned Yi Jing for more than half a month, and then surrendered directly after suffering heavy losses. There was no way, the situation in Yi Jing was very similar to that of Peiping, and Yuan Jun used to dig out The trick of digging a wall out of soil was immediately put to rest. He went to stop it many times, but Zhang He took the opportunity to severely damage him, and he almost couldn't come back. He kept asking for help, but Gongsun Zan still turned a deaf ear, and in the end he had no choice but to lead the Wu army. The remnants of the war-minded soldiers surrendered after defeat.

In the final analysis, Gongsun Zan has lost his military morale. He destroyed the city wall even though his strength was far inferior to that of Yuan Shao. His failure was unstoppable. Even Yuan Shu ignored this guy, but it was a pity that he had sent countless Not to mention many of the siege equipment were not fully effective, and some fell directly into Yuan Shao's hands.

After hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Tian Yu also sighed helplessly. Yuan Shao had blocked all the ways for Gongsun Zan to survive. Zhuojun in the northeast of Ji County, Yuyang in the north, and Lu County in the northeast were all heavily guarded by Yuan Shao, with a large number of troops. It is difficult to break through at all. Moreover, Yan Liang, Wen Chou each led thousands of elite cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry to wait around.

"You know the current situation very well. Defending to the death is death, and rushing to kill is death. How do you think I should choose?" Gongsun Zan suddenly asked with a smile.

"This time Yuan Benchu ​​has come in person. Does your Majesty plan to fight Yuan Benchu ​​for the last time?" Tian Yu asked.

"You guessed wrong this time, I plan to defend to the death." Gongsun Zan looked at Tian Yu with burning eyes and said.

"Your Majesty, the only way to defend is... Your Majesty, what do you think?" Tian Yu asked in confusion, and suddenly saw the strange light in Gongsun Zan's eyes, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"No! Your Majesty, you must not do this now! The most serious minister will lead Bai Mayi to escort you to Liaodong to the death. Your Majesty will definitely be able to protect your life!" Tian Yu said in an excited tone.

"Go to Yuan Gongdao? I'm not that humble." Gongsun Zan said with a slight sneer: "I was born with a stubborn temper, and I will die because of it. I admit it, but I will never bow to anyone. This time

It was Yuan Benchu ​​who won, but I didn't lose to him, I lost to myself. I will repay the debt I owe, and Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't deserve to see me in such embarrassment."

"Your Majesty!" Tian Yu shouted sadly.

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind. I am not a wise master, and I am indebted to you for delaying you. There is no need for you to accompany me, an incompetent king, and a dying man. You can get a white horse and follow me later.

Leave, Yuan Jiujiu will accept you." Gongsun Zan said firmly: "Don't let Baima Yicong perish in my hands, endure it for the time being, and avenge me, I also hope that Jiuquanxia will hear his words from Yuan Benchu's mouth.
