Chapter 1443 The Reincarnation of the Great Virtue
"Get the picture." Yuan Shao said softly, but his voice seemed a bit low and hoarse.
"Ah? Wei!" Guo Tu didn't react for a while. After a while, he woke up from a dream and quickly helped Yuan Shao flip up the bookshelf next to the desk to find the map. Guo Tu's movements were slightly
He was a little flustered. The map was obviously rolled into a long scroll, but Guo Tu couldn't find it for a while. Instead, he turned over the scroll on General Shu's book and messed it up before he straightened the obvious position in front of him and saw the map.
Rolled map.
Yuan Shao didn't pay attention. After taking the map, he immediately spread it on the table.
Guo Tu quickly found a few small wooden figures painted in red and black in a wooden box on the side, and placed them on the map according to some current information, so that Yuan Shao could have a more intuitive feeling.
Yuan Shao propped his hands on the desk, staring at the map, looking at the red and black wooden figures, seeming to be looking for a solution to the situation, muttering something, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes and a layer of fine sweat.
It emerged from Yuan Shao's forehead, and the arm that was propped on the table could not help but tremble.
The failure of the South Road and the North Road made Yuan Shao really disappointed.
Chunyu Qiong was arranged to take the southern route because Chunyu Qiong was from Heluo. He also served as the Eighth School Captain of Xiyuan during the reign of Emperor Ling. He was somewhat famous in the Hedong and Hanoi areas. Chunyu Qiong took the southern route and could use the equipment he had previously obtained.
With connections and relationships, we might be able to directly instigate some of the nobles in Hedong to rebel, achieving the effect of killing them without any blood.
As for the North Road, a large number of cavalry were arranged, led by Wen Chou as the leader and Jiang Qi as the deputy. Although Wen Chou and Jiang Qi did not have a very tacit understanding, they were not enemies either. There was generally no problem in cooperating with each other, but they did not expect that.
Jiang Qi was actually beheaded!
The reason for arranging cavalry on the North Road was because Yuan Shao also knew that General Fei of the Western Expedition was lurking and had a large number of cavalry troops in Beiyin Mountain, so cavalry must be used to contain and attack. Now, even the cavalry confrontation in the north is at a disadvantage.
, how could Yuan Shao not be disappointed?
Although Yuan Shao has been verbally scolding Yuan Xi, in fact Yuan Xi is his son no matter what. Just like many parents call their children naughty children every day, does it mean that outsiders can also call their children naughty children?
Guo Tu stood aside respectfully, not even daring to express his anger, for fear of disturbing Yuan Shao's thoughts.
Yuan Shao's fingers on the map trembled involuntarily. He originally hoped that the North Road could break through smoothly, and then attack Bingzhou together, but now not only did he fail to advance, but he even lost his troops. This result is so unexpected that no one has ever done this.
In terms of psychological preparation, no one mentioned this possibility in the tactical deduction before the battle.
The sudden incident made Yuan Shao, who was already in a tight situation, find that his entire plan to attack the north seemed to be full of shocking loopholes. Even Yuan Shao, who was deep in the city, was a little panicked.
"Aha!" Yuan Shao angrily swept the wooden figures placed on the map all over the place!
Guo Tu was startled at the side. His face turned pale and he didn't dare to breathe. He locked his neck and tried to make himself smaller. The only sound left in the hall was Yuan Shao's heavy breathing.
But Yuan Shao is still Yuan Shao after all. After about a cup of tea, Yuan Shao finally calmed down and seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his head, but it seemed that Yuan Shao couldn't straighten up because of the long-term stiffness.
It seemed as if the bones and muscles were twisted together, making a creaking sound, and a flash of pain flashed through his eyes.
"Gongze, please come to Yuan Hao."
Guo Tu was stunned for a moment.
"Go quickly!" Yuan Shao put a hand on his waist and glared at Guo Tu fiercely.
Guo Tu was so excited that he quickly responded and left in a hurry.
The confidant guards in the hall saw that Yuan Shao seemed to have pain in his back, and asked if they should call a doctor or someone else. Yuan Shao waved his hand, just changed to a more comfortable posture and sat behind the desk, sighing silently.
Tian Feng was reading a book at home at this time.
Although Tian Feng and Yuan Shao have reached a certain compromise, Tian Feng also knows in his heart that the rift between him and Yuan Shao caused by his previous actions cannot be repaired in a short while, and may even never be repaired.
To make up for it. Tian Feng was ordered to communicate and coordinate with the nobles in Jizhou. Although he fulfilled Yuan Shao's request, Yuan Shao did not have any errands to appoint. Tian Feng naturally knew it well, so he stayed at home and read.
I basically don’t go out.
The struggle between rights is inherently a delicate matter.
Tian Feng knew Yuan Shao's thoughts.
What Yuan Shao wanted was to have a single voice, but he chose the court of the Han Dynasty. He had not been able to form a single voice for so many years. The emperor had to look at the faces of his ministers when he spoke. Why did Yuan Shao think he could do this?
This kind of thing, everyone knows in their stomachs that compromises and concessions are just temporary, and the final victory or defeat still depends on the skill. Yuan Shao's here is regarded as a preview of a small court, and it is also
Not a bad idea.
After all, in a political fight like this, blindly tearing people apart and threatening beheading is the most despicable thing to do. Otherwise, Dong Zhuo would not have lost the support of almost all the nobles in the world in the end. Until now, basically all
When people mention Dong Zhuo, they will inevitably talk about how cruel, unkind, and rebellious Dong Zhuo was. Almost all the noblemen said that it has been too long and they have forgotten all the meritorious deeds he achieved back then.
People say that when people get older, they can see things more clearly, so their tempers get better. However, this argument does not work here in Tian Feng. Even though Tian Feng is older, his temper may not improve.
Although he was reading at home these past few days, the servants at home knew that Tian Feng was in a bad mood, so he was careful in everything he did and did not dare to make any mistakes.
Therefore, when Guo Tu came to Tian Feng's home, the Tian family was very quiet. Even the birds in the trees seemed to be afraid to sing, or they were simply chased away by the servants...
When Tian Feng learned that Guo Tu was coming, he did not come out to greet Guo Tu. Instead, he continued to read in the study, as if he wanted to study with peace of mind and not be concerned about political affairs. Tian Feng can become a famous scholar in Jizhou, and he is a scholar.
His attainments are also quite deep, but the problem is that Tian Feng is more concerned with making progress in the court, so he doesn't have much thought about establishing his reputation and virtue in learning.
Yuan Shao's intention in asking Guo Tu to come was naturally not to let Guo Tu just send someone over to deliver a message, but to have something else. Although Guo Tu could not be called a top-notch resourceful person, he could still understand and figure out something about Yuan Shao.
He was thinking about it, so he waited for the dream in person. He saw that Tian Feng did not greet him but endured it. Instead, he smiled and seemed not to care about it at all. When he arrived in the study, he saw Tian Feng and his youngest son correcting a scripture. The two seemed to
We have been talking for a long time, and there are several scriptures spread out on the table.
"I've met Mr. Tian!" Guo Tu saluted seriously, as if he didn't care at all about Tian Feng's indifferent attitude toward him.
"Oops!" Tian Feng seemed to have just seen Guo Tu now, and quickly turned to his youngest son and said, "Why don't you salute Guo Congcao!" Guo Tu had several positions, but Tian Feng seemed to have forgotten them all.
Let the youngest son call him the lowest position.
Guo Tu forced a smile and said: "No gifts, no gifts... I have long heard that your young master is smart, and when I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation..."
Guo Tu said it reluctantly, and Tian Feng naturally would not take such flattery seriously. He waved his hand to let the youngest son go down first, and then asked calmly: "What is Gongze looking for?"
"Tian Gong, the general invites you." Guo Tu bowed respectfully.
Tian Feng glanced at Guo Tu in surprise.
Tian Feng naturally knew what kind of character Guo Tu was. During this period, he had been highly regarded by General Yuan Shao. Guo Tu was trembling more and more. When had he ever seen him so polite to others?
Tian Feng looked up and down, and saw that Guo Tu was trying to remain calm on the outside, but couldn't hide the look of panic on his face. His heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Guo Tu and asked, "What happened?"
Guo Tu hesitated to speak, and said in a covert manner: "The general has been visiting Tian Gong for a long time, and specially invited me. It's not a big deal..."
"Gongzhi, how can you bully someone!" Tian Feng interrupted Guo Tu's words with dissatisfaction and said without any room for argument, "Let's be frank, what happened!"
Guo Tu hesitated for a moment, feeling that this matter should be said sooner or later, and Tian Feng would be re-enabled by Yuan Shao at the moment. It was better not to offend him, so he finally said: "... Youzhou
Something has changed...Xianbei attacks Yuyang again..."
"What?!" Tian Feng's eyes widened and he said angrily, "The evil and barbaric people are so rampant!"
Tian Feng cursed, then looked at Guo Tu, stroked his beard, and said: "If that's all, the general will definitely not summon someone...what else is there?"
"This..." Guo Tu blinked and whispered, "General Wen was defeated, and General Jiang... was killed..."
"Si..." Tian Feng shook his hand and accidentally pulled off two or three beards. He took a long breath, held his breath, and slowly spit it out after a long time. He didn't know whether it was because of surprise or because he was pulling. His beard was a little painful, and he scolded with a livid face, "How long are you going to keep this big thing a secret!"
Knowing that the situation was urgent, Tian Feng stopped showing off and followed Guo Tu to the General's Mansion.
However, before arriving at the General's Mansion, Tian Feng no longer looked as surprised as before at home. He walked slowly on a cane and nodded in response to the greetings of others. Every move he made was calm and orderly, with a graceful manner. On the contrary, small beads of sweat appeared on Guo Tu's forehead.
After meeting Yuan Shao, Tian Feng slowly saluted.
Yuan Shao glanced at Tian Feng up and down, and breathed out: "Seeing Mr. Tian like this, I feel much more at ease. Come, please take a seat."
Tian Feng thanked him, then took his seat under Yuan Shao, straightened the hem of his clothes, and then said slowly: "In the past, I saw the general's obsession, but he lost his clarity, and Feng was very worried... Now I see the general's eyes. When you are clear and clear, you should know that you have given up your delusional thoughts, and you will be overwhelmed with joy! Congratulations to the great general!"
Yuan Shao laughed and his eyes flashed, "Tian Gong is easy to talk to!"
Tian Feng smiled and said: "I dare not take it. Now that the Hu barbarians are in the season of reproduction, they will fight soon. If the general withdraws General Wen and the Hu barbarians go away, Yuyang will have no worries... Since Yuyang has no worries, Jizhou's salt and iron can naturally be used to support the people's livelihood for a while, and then they can naturally form a large army to fight against the rebellion..."
Yuan Shao listened with a smile on his face. The smile on his face was like a mask, beautiful but stiff. He neither nodded nor shook his head.
"We are exhausted, attacking from a long distance, and leaving our homeland. It is already difficult. As the saying goes, 'When a bird returns to its hometown, a fox must head to the top of the hill when it dies'..." Tian Feng said pointedly, "Now we are marching. Xi Xian is humble in Youbei and came from a long way, carrying only ten months of food. Even if he looted and looted, it would not be enough to cover the losses. Just like a man who has passed his prime, although he has ambitions, his physical strength is gradually declining and he has no way to continue. The general only We need to guard Youzhou carefully, and the invaders will retreat. Although there are losses, peace can be maintained, so there is no need to worry too much."
Yuan Shao understood what Tian Feng meant and lowered his eyes to block the disgust and hatred that he couldn't help but burst out. At this time, Tian Feng still kept talking about "homeland" and "birth", in a simple sentence The best thing is to ask Yuan Shao to withdraw his troops immediately.
"The world is in chaos, and now the people are hungry. If it is not calmed down soon, and the war continues for many years, won't all the houses and houses be empty, and the people will have no way to live..." Yuan Shao lowered his head, not looking at Tian Feng, but staring at his own eyes The map on the desk is like overlooking the battlefield, he said slowly.
Tian Feng said with a smile: "The general is sympathetic to the world and has compassion. He is indeed a role model for us! However, those who chase deer cannot win by force! In the past, the overlord of Jingchu used to push the mountains and was invincible, but he was defeated by Gaixia! A plan for a thousand years can lead to a career for eternity... Wouldn't it be very good for a general to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it by planning?"
Yuan Shao raised his head and laughed loudly, "Sure enough, Mr. Tian has far-reaching plans and is always responsible for controlling the country... However, if you want to use your plans to determine the country and weigh the importance, you need more help from Mr. Tian!"
Tian Feng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "But for the sake of the country, the general has an order, how dare Feng disobey it? If the general feels that Tian is still worthy of a meal, Feng is willing to go north to Youzhou again to drive out the barbarians and serve as a great cause for the country."
The general wiped out the enemy's troubles! Let the Xianbei barbarians know that the power of a general should not be lightly regretted!"
Yuan Shao smiled and shook his head and said: "I admire Mr. Tian's lofty ambitions. However, Xianbei is a young man, so why bother with Mr. Tian's work? I just ordered Wen Ju and two people to supervise it... But conquering the West... Sooner or later, it will be a big problem.
, I wonder what Mr. Tian can do to deal with it?"
Tian Feng was silent for a moment, and then said: "The three auxiliaries in Guanzhong are in disrepair, the water conservancy is in disrepair, the farmland is in ruins, and Dong's thieves are brutal, and both people and land are lost. The prosperity of the early Han Dynasty is no longer the same. The land of Shanxi is extremely barren and cannot bear farming.
, and there is no special product, why bother to mobilize the troops and attack the army? Nowadays, the Han Dynasty has a fire virtue. If the fire burns for a long time, its own embers will grow, so there is the Yellow Turban Rebellion. However, the ashes are scattered and have no foundation. Although they are scattered, they will eventually settle down. Therefore,
The Yellow Turban prospered for a while, but it failed quickly. It was determined by nature, because the virtue of earth cannot overcome fire. When the earth is exhausted, metal will grow. Therefore, at the current moment, the prosperity of Zhengxi is the prosperity of metal! However, the metal is strong.
Then, he cannot wait for long. The general is in the north, which is a place where water thrives. The water is kind and soft, so it should be like a dragon rising over the sea, which is in line with the general's momentum! The general is using water to attack gold, which is reversed.
The sage said that the best is like water. The general can unite with the princes in the south, be inclusive, and take it with softness. When the luck of the expedition to the west is exhausted, when the power is in hand, no one dares to disobey, and Shanxi will be embarrassed.
How can a few barbarian soldiers in this land compete with the general for glory? I wonder if the general thinks so?" Tian Feng originally disdained any prophecies, but in order to compromise, he still chose some good words that fit the occasion.
explain.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao obviously felt much better, and asked with great interest: "So, our army should set up a black green flag, change the color of the uniform, and carry the virtue of water, so as to adapt to the situation? Good! Then I will follow Tian Gong!"
"
"The general is wise!" Tian Feng hurriedly knocked down the hammer, even knocking off the heel.
The two of them sat in the hall, looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh. But I really don't know how much of this smile is true, and how much of it is fake...
