Perhaps it is because everyone’s genes are different, so everyone has a sense of loneliness to a greater or lesser extent, and this loneliness is manifested in many ways. Some people are just sad and sentimental, while others are just sad.
It is completely self-centered.
Self-centered people are not entirely bad people, but the word selfishness is generally inescapable, especially after doing something. It’s like looking at the neighbor’s children after throwing away an axe.
Just like a little thief who steals an axe, when something goes wrong, he often stares at others, doubting their motives for doing something...
Just like Ah Q in Lu Xun's works, because there are leprosy scars on his head, not only can others not say the words leprosy, sore, scar, but even the words "light", "bright", "shining", etc. all feel that they are talking about him, and then he gets angry
He was so angry that he insisted on discussing the issue with others.
Xu You, who served under Yuan Shao, was actually a selfish person. But the problem is that selfish people often don't think they are selfish, but think that others are selfish. Therefore, when he heard that Zhang He was defeated, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
He laughed and danced in his tent. For him, it was a happy thing to see the people in Jizhou being defeated.
Who let the people from Jizhou compete with me for business before?
Colleagues are enemies!
But Xu You forgot one thing when he was happy. This was in the camp, not his own small courtyard in Yecheng, Jizhou...
Xu You knew about Zhang He's defeat, so Yuan Shao naturally knew more clearly.
The next day.
Inside the Chinese army's tent, although it was magnificent, warm and pleasant, Yuan Shao's face was as heavy as water, making people feel that the temperature was approaching freezing point.
Victory and defeat are common things for military strategists. There is nothing to say about this. Not all battles can be successful, and not everyone can ensure victory in all battles. You can pursue such a state, but failure is not a complete matter.
Unacceptable things.
Just like when a high-ranking cadre is defeated in a battle, will I be severely punished?
Just like that idiot Chun Yuqiong, he was also defeated. I had... well, that idiot Chun Yuqiong was dead, so forget it. I didn't hold his family responsible, right?
It doesn’t matter if the army is defeated!
It really doesn't matter!
Yuan Shao's face was clouded, and the veins on his forehead were jumping.
But you, Zhang He, surrendered to Cao Amao so neatly!
What does this mean?!
"General..." the soldiers outside the tent reported cautiously, "Tian Biejia is here..."
"Pass!" Yuan Shao said one word from between his teeth.
Tian Feng lowered his head, and after entering the tent, he threw away the walking stick in his hand, bowed to worship, and said that the crime was serious. Tian Feng was also quite familiar with Yuan Shao's temperament, so when the facts were clear, what kind of excuse could he use?
Let’s not talk about it first, but it is most important to express an attitude.
Afterwards, Yuan Shao wanted to maintain the generous image he had formed before, and he could not push too hard on those who took the initiative to admit their mistakes, so Tian Feng naturally admitted his mistakes sincerely.
The corners of Yuan Shao's eyes twitched, he closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, and then asked Tian Feng to get up and reply. Tian Feng was familiar with Yuan Shao, and after all these years, Yuan Shao knew more or less about him even if he was not familiar with him at first.
So after seeing Tian Feng's behavior, the anger in his heart not only did not disappear, but became even more intense. However, Yuan Shao knew that it was not the time for an attack, so he endured it and listened to what Tian Feng said first...
"My lord is generous and wise, he is really a blessing to his ministers..." Tian Feng flattered him and found that it did not achieve the desired effect, so he immediately turned to practical issues, "Although we are defeated today, we can know three things.
, Firstly, if Cao Cao’s cavalry is stationed in Heluo, the area around Qingzhou will definitely be empty! We can quickly order to cover up, but we can’t miss the opportunity! Secondly, Cao Cao’s robbers are hunting, which will definitely make the soldiers rush back and forth, and they will be tired of the road! But the Chinese army takes turns
To attack in formation, attack when the troops are exhausted! What are the three principles..."
Yuan Shao nodded slowly.
Tian Feng is indeed a strategist, this is undeniable. From Zhang He's defeat, Tian Feng inferred two aspects that were more beneficial to Yuan Shao, and these two aspects were indeed Cao Cao's weaknesses.
If Cao Cao wants to encircle and defeat Zhang He, whether he gathers troops from the side or mobilizes troops from the front, it will lead to the situation mentioned by Tian Feng. Moreover, Cao Cao's original troops are not very large, so Qingzhou is empty and soldiers are rushing back and forth.
Fatigue can be said to be an inevitable situation at the moment, so Tian Feng almost immediately turned the unfavorable news of Zhang He's defeat into favorable conditions that could be exploited next.
Tian Feng glanced at Yuan Shao's face and found that Yuan Shao's face had softened a bit, then continued, "...Thirdly, General Zhang went south to Heluo. This matter was very secret, but Cao's thieves still responded quickly and set up troops to surround him.
To stop... this matter, Feng Tie thought... maybe someone leaked the news..."
"What?!" Yuan Shao's eyes widened.
"My lord has always been generous and accepted scholars from all over the world..." Tian Feng raised his hands and said, "This is the foundation of my lord's hegemony, and it is inevitable that he will be fooled into it..."
However, Yuan Shao had a headache. He knew that these people under his command had their own factions and had many conflicts with each other, but he did not expect that this problem was becoming more and more serious and obvious...
"As you wish..." Yuan Shao sneered twice, stared at Tian Feng and said, "Could it be that someone from Yuzhou secretly passed on the news?"
Tian Feng cupped his hands and said: "I... I don't know yet... I am so sincere and courageous, and all of them are plotting for the Lord..."
"That's enough!" Yuan Shao slapped the table and shouted in a deep voice.
Tian Feng said that he was loyal, not just to clear his name, at least not entirely. He was also suspected of putting the blame on the Yuzhou faction. According to Tian Feng, the Jizhou faction only supported Yuan Shao.
, and the Yuzhou faction, haha, it is a slave with three surnames, uh, a slave with three surnames...
"Tian Yuanhao!" Yuan Shaoteng suddenly stood up, pointed at Tian Feng like a halberd, and shouted angrily, "As a foreign leader, you don't seek to make progress, you falsely accuse your colleagues, and your suggestions are often defeated, so that the general will die in battle.
, the soldiers are dying in the wild! If you are innocent, how can you serve the people? How can you manage the army? How can you calm the resentment of the world? Come on!"
"Take the field away to Guan! Keep him in the baggage camp! No one is allowed to visit you unless ordered by someone else!"
Immediately, soldiers rushed into the tent, knocked Tian Feng's crown off with one hand, immediately picked him up, and dragged him away!
Tian Feng shouted, but Yuan Shao did not change his mind. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and stared at Tian Feng. Until Tian Feng's voice gradually faded away, he slowly sat back down behind the desk, and then pondered for a long time.
He issued an order: "Come here! Tell Xu Ziyuan to come!"
Not long after, Xu You arrived with three long strands of beard shaking.
Yuan Shao scolded him, "Why are you so happy that I defeated Heluo? Ah? Do you want me to die here?"
Xu You was so frightened that he rushed forward and fell to the ground, telling Yuan Shao that he was loyal and there was absolutely no way he could be disrespectful to Yuan Shao...
Yuan Shao didn't listen much. After snorting coldly, he asked his soldiers to capture Xu You and imprison him in the baggage camp. Then he waved his sleeves angrily and returned to the back tent.
...here is the dividing line...
The news spread that Tian Feng and Xu You were imprisoned, and naturally many people in Yuan Jun's camp had their own interpretations of this matter, and Yuan Shang was no exception, and he interpreted it directly in front of Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shang was ill some time ago and has only recovered recently. The color on his face is not very full, but precisely because of this, coupled with his original handsome appearance, he has a kind of morbid beauty. If he is placed in future generations, he will definitely be confused.
A group of fujoshi screamed with red hearts in their eyes and yelled about "shoujo"...
"Tell me about it, it doesn't matter if you are wrong..." Yuan Shao changed his angry face in front of the Chinese army's tent, and smiled gently, encouraging Yuan Shang.
Although Yuan Shang was not too old, Yuan Shao felt that it was necessary for Yuan Shang to understand some techniques of checking and balancing the imperial power, so he consciously guided and taught Yuan Shang.
"This matter..." Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Shao's face, and then said, "Father...actually...for Tian and Xu...are not just angry..."
Observing words and expressions is actually the instinct of every child, well, except naughty children. Therefore, for Yuan Shang, detecting Yuan Shao's true current emotions from the subtle changes in Yuan Shao's face is already a test that has been tested by practice and time.
And the special skills developed through cultivation.
Therefore, Yuan Shang felt that although there were rumors that Yuan Shao was very angry, after meeting him, he found that Yuan Shao was not actually that angry...
Yuan Shao nodded and laughed twice: "My son is really smart... Come, let's talk about why my father did this..."
"Why?" Yuan Shang's heart shrank.
As a child, and perhaps as an adult too, the most enjoyable time is when you can keep asking others why. Of course, the most unpleasant time is when others keep asking you why.
How do I know why?
It's a pity that Yuan Shang couldn't say this sentence, so he could only think hard...
Yuan Shao waited patiently, and then thought he should give Yuan Shang some hints, so he took out a small bag from his sleeve, put it on the table, and motioned for Yuan Shang to see it for himself.
When Yuan Shang opened the small cloth bag and took a look, he couldn't help but frowned, even his nose.
Inside the bag were some moldy corns. The gray-white and dark-green mold covered up the originally bright colors, and also gave off a disgusting smell.
"This..." Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao knocked on the table and looked a little angry, "The newly arrived batch of military rations contains 20% moldy rice..."
"This..." Yuan Shang suddenly thought of the connection and couldn't help but said suddenly, "It turns out that my father built the plank road openly to visit Chen Cang secretly!"
Yuan Shao laughed loudly, and then said softly: "It's exactly... the sudden advance of the partial army is extremely dangerous. Defeat..." Yuan Shao frowned slightly, thinking of Zhang He, then exhaled and continued.
, "It's normal, but if the military rations are mixed with moldy grain and grass, this matter is no small matter..."
The military rations contain old rice. This is normal. No one can guarantee that we will go to war during the season, and then we will eat new rice. However, old rice can be eaten, but moldy rice cannot be used!
Any time there is a problem with military rations, it is a big deal!
Even if they are defeated in later generations, some Asan said that if there is no curry, they will sit in and protest, and they will not fight without fighting. For soldiers, military rations are basically equivalent to a stable rear. If there is a problem with the military rations, it means that the rear will suffer.
The problem is, this is not negative news that all soldiers can be exempted from.
After all, the distance between Zhang He's victory and defeat is relatively far away. Ordinary soldiers don't feel it deeply, but soldiers and rations need to be seen every day!
When something goes wrong, it’s a big deal!
Among them, the two main people are Tian Feng and Xu You.
Tian Feng is responsible for adjusting the people in Jizhou, and Xu You is responsible for the procurement of supplies for the rear camp. Which link has the problem? For Yuan Shao, he hopes that it is Xu You who has the problem, because once Tian Feng is not like this
If there is a problem, it means that the Jizhou gentry...
So, don't be careful.
Yuan Shao deliberately isolated the two from contact with the outside world for this reason.
"Besides..." Yuan Shao pointed to the small bag on the table, "Does Shang'er know who sent this?"
Yuan Shang shook his head.
"It's Guo Gongze!" Yuan Shao snorted slightly, "And it was sent to him after Zhang Junyi's defeat... humph..."
Yuan Shang was not stupid. After thinking about it, he understood and said, "Could it be that Duke Guo knew about this a long time ago, but he waited until the news of the defeat came to send it?"
Yuan Shao closed his eyes and remained silent.
"Understood... Father, by detaining the two of them this time, he also has the intention of balancing the relationship between Hebei and Yu..." Yuan Shang added, "If we just capture Tian Yuanhao, Yuzhou will inevitably become complacent... and vice versa..."
Yuan Shao nodded, opened his eyes, looked at Yuan Shang with relief, nodded and said: "Exactly, my son can think of this, not bad, not bad..."
Yuan Shao carefully reminded: "The more critical the situation, the more cautious you need to be. Don't panic, don't be reckless, and don't listen to one's beliefs because of this... Only then can you turn the crisis into safety... My son must remember this..."
If Yuan Shao had learned some basic education, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so kind as to give pointers now, because not only would such pointers be of no benefit, but it would actually affect Yuan Shang's own thinking. Because he didn't think of it himself in the first place.
, so the impression is not that deep. Secondly, there may be other words that were misremembered during the process. It’s like parents repeatedly telling them not to buy soy sauce, don’t buy soy sauce, don’t buy soy sauce. As a result, the child goes to the supermarket or something like that.
When I think about it, what do my parents want to buy?
soy sauce!
Yuan Shang naturally responded repeatedly.
Yuan Shao nodded, then pointed at the little cloth bag and said: "Someone needs to sit in the army... I will leave this matter to Shang'er. You take this with you and question the two of them in detail at night..."
