General Yuan Shao's camp is almost twenty miles into the Taihang Mountains, and it can be considered a frontier operation to some extent.
This camp occupies a large area and is heavily guarded. When Tian Feng came from his camp in the Taihang Mountain Trail, he saw the trusted guards of Yuan Shaojun's direct-administered unit with bright armor and distinctive banners. They drank wine early and walked along his camp.
They walked four or five miles before coming to the road, which was regarded as an advance greeting. Although the general Yuan Shao was not here in person, it could be regarded as enough pomp and courtesy for Tian Feng.
The people following Tian Feng were naturally high-ranking officials.
Along the way, Gao Gan was in high spirits, but Tian Feng's face didn't look good. Gao Gan didn't care. After all, Tian Feng was old, and running back and forth on this mountain road might not be enough for even a young man, let alone that he had already passed it.
Tian Feng has reached the average lifespan of a big man, and his legs and feet are not convenient.
That night after he deceived General Zhengxi's soldiers and generals, the senior official suddenly felt that his mind was clear, just like drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup in the dog days of summer. From the inside to the outside, every pore was so clear.
Feeling comfortable, there are naturally more smiles on his face, and the people around him no longer look like they are whispering bad things about him behind his back every day...
Although Tian Feng may be tired along the way, or he may have other emotions, the senior officials don't care. Anyway, with this solid foundation of meritorious service, he doesn't have to live a careless life, and he doesn't have to worry about it.
How to look at Yuan Shao's complexion... Well, you still have to look, but you don't have to be so careful anymore. It's like the clouds are cleared, you can see the sun and the moon, and the sky and the earth have become clear.
Tian Feng looked a little dazed, a little uneasy in his heart, and physically tired.
Yuan Shao's army is coming one after another and setting up camps one after another. This should be a good thing, but Tian Feng doesn't know why he always feels a little uneasy in his heart. After all, Yuan Shao has been unusually active this time, and even sent out troops.
The confidant guards came to greet him, and the etiquette was not bad, but Tian Feng knew that this was for the sake of a previous victory.
However, this victory alone is somewhat insufficient. After all, it was not the head of General Fei Qian who conquered the West...
Everyone knows that what Yuan Shao is most looking forward to now is to immediately conquer Bingzhou and form a strong momentum to bully the south from the north, just like the way of Emperor Guangwu back then...
It can be said that Yuan Shao has been waiting for this martial arts show with high expectations!
The question is, can what Emperor Guangwu did back then work now?
Not to mention that Yuan Shao's gradually revealed ambition made Tian Feng feel a little uncomfortable. It was like some auspicious thing he created at the banquet that day. It was so ridiculous that it made people feel a little worried.
The various forces in Jizhou are actually beginning to fight against each other. Perhaps when the dust of this war is settled, there will probably be some changes regardless of victory or defeat, and these changes will determine Yuan Shao's future.
How will the route go on...
The pre-military meeting held this time was also a very important meeting. Yuan Shao's armor was valuable, so it was naturally impossible for Yuan Shao to brave swords, guns and arrows every day to go straight to the front of the battle line and preside over everything. Therefore, when he went straight to the boundary bridge, he almost became Gongsun Zan's sword.
It is impossible for the ghost of the underworld to happen again. This meeting is naturally to arrange and confirm the combat matters for Shangdang Huguan in the next period. The tasks must be assigned, who will be in the vanguard and who will be in the rear, and who will go forward and who will go out.
Cooperation, all kinds of things, always have to be arranged and then emphasized and encouraged.
Tian Feng is in the frontline mountainous area, so naturally he is not as well-informed as when he was in Yecheng. However, Tian Feng still believes that if nothing special happens, General Fei Qian's overall strength will still be much worse.
It seems that the territory of General Zhengxi is not small now. Although there are Bingzhou, Sanfu and Hanzhong, most of them are empty due to years of military chaos in Sanfu. It is incomparable with a populous state like Jizhou. As long as it can successfully capture the upper areas
Dang Taiyuan, then Yuan Shao has a very solid foothold. Whether it is to Pingyang or Hedong next time, it can be said that he will be able to do it with ease. If he continues to advance slowly, it will be just around the corner to encroach on the territory of Zhengxi.
But Tian Feng still felt a little uneasy in his heart. Logically speaking, this plan was already the most secure. It was an arrangement that he had worked hard on, even at the expense of his own old body. Yuan Shao had no reason to change it randomly, right?
After all, the one who most hopes to defeat Zheng Xi is Yuan Shao himself!
Tian Feng was riding on the horse, and he was mumbling and frowning. No one could hear clearly what he was thinking. The senior officials looked at him and looked at him as if something was wrong, but he was just thinking in his heart.
He chuckled, raised his eyebrows and ignored Tian Feng.
This section of the road is considered a relatively gentle mountain road, so it is constantly guarded by cavalry directly under Yuan Shao. Pairs of responders Tian Feng and Gao Gan are walking forward. Each pair of bright knights clears the way for about a mile in front.
Another pair of cavalry took over, and then the previous pair moved behind Gao Gan Tian Feng. Along the way, behind Gao Gan Tian Feng were already seven or eight pairs of Yuan Shao's direct cavalry, each holding their arms high.
Flags of various colors filled the sky with smoke and dust.
This welcome etiquette did not lose its momentum because Yuan Shao did not greet him in person. It was indeed very grand and extremely eye-catching along the way.
In a short time, I had already seen the camp gate of General Yuan Shao. There was a captain waiting at the camp gate. The drawbridge and camp gate had also been opened. The pair of cavalry led by Tian Feng came out in front of Gao Gan.
He shouted: "Tian Gong, the vanguard from the front, and General Gao are here!"
Following the shouts of the cavalry, a group of figures appeared in the camp. The first person was not wearing armor, but was wearing a brocade robe, a traveling crown, and a smile on his face. He was Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.
Tian Feng and senior officials quickly dismounted, put their hands on their chests, and walked forward respectfully. It was etiquette for the general to greet him in person, but if he regarded it as a capital that could be used to favor him, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Yuan Shao also behaved very well. He smiled and stepped forward to hold Tian Feng with one hand and Gao Gan with the other. The affection he showed could be felt three feet away.
"Hahaha..." Yuan Shao laughed with a loud voice, "First kill the generals under Zhengxi, and then take Shangdang Taiyuan. With time, we can drink Ma Pingyang, and it will be just around the corner!"
Tian Feng suddenly glanced at Yuan Shao's appearance, but his heart skipped a beat.
The senior official was completely unaware of it, but still echoed with some pride: "That is, as soon as the general's heavenly troops arrive, it is time to change the flag at the top of Pingyang City!"
Shangdang, Taiyuan, damn Pingyang!
Tian Feng murmured something in his heart, saying it lightly, but thinking that Zheng Xi was just made of paper and clay?
The two were led by Yuan Shao, and the three of them walked almost side by side towards the tent. Naturally, they attracted the attention of all the soldiers in the camp. Along the way, Tian Feng kept rolling his eyes, as if he had thought of something.
Something.
After entering the Chinese army's tent, Yuan Shao sat at the top and smiled as he asked Tian Feng and the senior officials to take their seats. Before he could speak, he heard Tian Feng raise his hands and ask: "General, something has happened in Jizhou?"
Gao Gan laughed and said: "Haha... what Mr. Tian said is true. Jizhou... has really changed?" Although Gao Gan was slow, seeing Yuan Shao's expression darken, he naturally understood that something must have happened.
It was not good, so he quickly lowered his voice, shrank his neck, and asked with some anxiety.
Yuan Shaoqiang laughed twice, waved his hand, as if to drive away flies and worries in his heart, and said: "It's not a big deal...but...it's just the expedition to the west to cross Baimajin, and attack
Just arrived at Yecheng..."
"What!" Gao Gan's eyes widened.
Yuan Shao lowered his face and glared at Gao Gan with dissatisfaction.
Gao Gan quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Ah, my lord... I wonder how the young master is safe..."
Yuan Shao's expression softened slightly and he said: "Fortunately, Shang'er guarded the city and did not allow Zhengxi to steal the city. It's just that the two battalions outside the city suffered some losses..."
I see!
Tian Feng might be tired, or surprised, or for some other reason. He lowered his head, and in the shadow of the big tent, his face looked like the bottom of a pot.
Yes, for Yuan Shao, as long as Yuan Shang is safe and sound, it is the greatest luck, but what about the two camps outside the city?
Is it an understatement to "lose some" and that's all? You must know that there are two large camps outside Yecheng, one is for baggage and the other is for recruits. The loss of any one will cause problems with subsequent replenishment!
Sure enough, Yuan Shao said lightly: "Yuan Hao, there is a slight shortage of follow-up supplies now, so I still need to worry about..."
Tian Feng gritted his teeth, the flesh on his cheeks twitched a few times, and he twitched his beard slightly, "General, after many battles, Jizhou's warehouses are empty, and the people are almost without food and clothing. Now Yecheng is full of supplies."
If they are destroyed, it will be difficult to recruit them again. I hope the general will learn from this."
Are you kidding? Since Yuan Shao only values Yuan Shang and doesn't care about the losses of other Jizhous, why should Tian Feng wipe Yuan Shao's butt? Furthermore, for Jizhou, this battle was no longer something they wanted to do.
It was only after Tian Feng's persuasion that he reluctantly agreed to continue to invest more. Now that the two large camps outside Yecheng have been lost, it means that all these investments have been wasted. This
How could these noble nobles in Jizhou be willing to do so?
Tian Feng thought that the special courtesy that Yuan Shao had given before was obviously a deliberate move by Yuan Shao to stabilize the morale of the army. In order to ensure that the entire Chinese army camp would not be turbulent due to the incident in Yecheng, Yuan Shao made such a high-profile gesture.
Firstly, this behavior is to divert the attention of the soldiers. Even if the incident in Yecheng is leaked, most of the soldiers will focus on Tian Feng and senior officials who have achieved meritorious service. Secondly,
In order for Tian Feng to go out again and fill the big hole dug in Yecheng.
Yuan Shao seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "The warehouse has ten rooms and nine are empty? What if someone can search and find out?" What Tian Feng said was so miserable, but Yuan Shao knew very well that this situation was impossible. Jizhou nobles and nobles were
There is nothing wrong with spending a lot of money and food, but it is not to the point of embarrassment. There are even many people who are very wealthy, and their luxurious life has not been affected at all.
How dare Yuan Shao think like this!
Tian Feng was very angry. He raised his head and looked at Yuan Shao without retreating at all: "General, do you want to do what Dong Zhongying did?"
"You!" There was something in Tian Feng's words. Naturally, Yuan Shao could no longer keep his expression down and snorted, "This is in the army! Yuan Hao needs to know that military laws are strict!"
Tian Feng stood up without saying a word, raised his hands and said: "In this case, General, please punish me for the crime of disrespect immediately!"
Yuan Shao also stood up and said angrily: "You think I dare not punish you?"
Tian Feng was so old and strong that he reached out and took off his hat: "If you don't punish someone, how can the general lose his face?"
Seeing two people chatting in a hurry, they went straight to the anus. Normally, the only high-ranking officer on the side would quickly comfort him and ease the situation, but the high-ranking officer did not have the reaction speed, nor the witty remarks.
Skills, so he could only open his mouth blankly, watching Yuan Shao and Tian Feng go toe-to-toe with each other within a few words, neither of them willing to give in!
"This..." Gaogan's sweat rolled down his face, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, "That..."
"Come here!" Yuan Shao finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly, pointing his halberd at Tian Feng, "Tian Yuanhao has behaved erratically and is a disobedient criminal! Take him to the back camp and keep him under strict supervision!"
The guard responded loudly and stepped forward to pull Tian Feng away.
Tian Feng angrily threw the crown in his hand on the ground: "Ignorant fool! You are planning to conquer the Western Rebellion Army! Especially if you are not clear-headed! You will be looking for trouble! What a pity! What a pain!" After saying this, he broke away.
The guarding hand was raised proudly.
After a long time, Gao Gan, who had his mouth wide open at the side, suddenly felt that some liquid seemed to flow out from the corner of his mouth. He swallowed quickly, turned to look at Yuan Shao, whose face was ashen, and said cautiously: "This... Lord, Tian Yuanhao is not...
"
"Needless to say!" Yuan Shao frowned, "Tian Yuanhao prides himself on his meritorious deeds, and committing such an act arrogantly is not a matter here! There is no need to persuade him any more! He needs to be taught a lesson at least!"
"Hiss..." Gao Gan took a breath and responded obediently.
There was a moment of embarrassment in the big tent.
After a while, Yuan Shao adjusted his mood, forced a smile, and said: "Yuancai, you have won a great victory in the expedition to the west, and you should be rewarded! Come and bring the reward!"
Immediately, the guards brought a lot of things, including money, silk, gold, silver and copper coins, and even a gleaming Mingguang armor. You must know that armor is often passed down from generation to generation as an heirloom by the Wuxun family.
How precious it is.
Yuan Shao asked the guards on the side to help him, and personally helped Gao Gan put on the bright light armor. He took two steps back, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "How can such a mighty general not be defeated! Come, General Gao will praise you."
At work!"
Praising the merits of patrolling the camp.
As a person who has received a reward, it is not only a personal honor, but also an inspiration to others. Therefore, the senior officials did not refuse, touching the brand-new armor on their bodies, happily forgetting about Tian Feng, and thanked them.
After passing Yuan Shao, he held his head high and walked out of the Chinese army's tent, enjoying the envious eyes of everyone...
Yuan Shao watched Gao Gan go away and listened to the envy of the soldiers in the camp, but the smile on his face stiffened little by little.
This damn Toyota Yuanhao!
However, is the plan to rebel against the army mentioned by Tian Feng an excuse or is it true...
