Chapter 159 Cao Cao and Liu Bei in Tian Feng's eyes
Tian Feng agreed to send troops to attack Xu, but Zhou Ping still wanted to find him, and he was the first person he wanted to see.
Among Yuan Shao's talents, the only ones Zhou Ping wanted to recruit and recommend to Liu Bei were Ju Shou and Tian Feng.
However, Ju Shou can basically be ruled out. He is a person who would rather die than surrender after being captured by Cao Cao, because his family's life hangs on the hands of the Yuan family. Only if he dies can his family be safe.
Cao Cao did not imprison him, but he always wanted to sneak back, and Cao Cao finally had to kill him.
With such a talent, Cao Cao did not want him to become his enemy again.
People who Cao Cao couldn't conquer, Zhou Ping felt that it would be difficult for Liu Bei to conquer them, so there was no need to bother.
Tian Feng is also difficult to conquer, but at least there is a chance.
Of course, Zhou Ping would not make such a request now. It was impossible for him to come to ask for help and try to pry into someone else's corner.
He just wanted to test Tian Feng's tone and prepare for future recruitment.
"I'm here to say goodbye to Tian."
Zhou Ping saw Tian Feng and expressed his intention to come.
"Why are you thanking me?" Tian Feng was a little confused.
"Tian Biejia agreed to send troops to attack Xu. This is an act to save Xu. Of course Ping and General Zhendong are grateful to Biejia." Zhou Ping said sincerely.
"However," Zhou Ping continued, "Ping would like to thank Tian Biejia for his help on behalf of the people of Xuzhou and the people of the world!"
When Zhou Ping said this, he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Tian Feng.
Tian Feng sat still, not because he thought he should enjoy this great gift, but because he didn't understand what Zhou Ping meant by that.
He looked at Zhou Ping with doubtful eyes.
Zhou Ping sat down again and asked with a smile: "What do Tian Biejia think of Cao Cao?"
"A talented person." Tian Feng replied calmly.
Regarding Zhou Ping's visit, Tian Feng was wary and refused to say anything in detail.
"He is also a person who kills indiscriminately." Zhou Ping continued, "When Tao Gongzu was there, Cao Cao attacked Xu twice and killed hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou indiscriminately. This time he attacked Xu and massacred Lucheng. There are many such unkind people.
Talented people are even more despicable."
Zhou Ping still doesn't know that Cao Cao slaughtered Xia Qiu and Tong Guo again.
We are not afraid of bad people, but we are afraid that bad people are capable. The more capable the bad people are, the more people they will harm.
Tian Feng's face moved slightly, and his eyes when looking at Zhou Ping seemed to be less wary, but he still didn't speak and just looked at Zhou Ping.
"I wonder what Tian Biejia thinks about Zhendong General Liu Xuande? Haha, although General Liu is my master, Tian Biejia can speak frankly without any scruples."
Zhou Ping knew that it seemed inappropriate to ask this question, and Tian Feng's answer might not be what he had in mind, but how he answered could probably tell him about Liu Bei's image in his mind.
Tian Feng hesitated for a moment and then replied calmly: "A person of benevolence and righteousness."
Zhou Ping felt that he was speaking from his heart. Cao Cao was talented, while Liu Bei was benevolent. This should be considered a relatively objective evaluation.
"When General Liu was in the plains, he treated the people kindly and had a very benevolent reputation. When he was in Yuzhou, he distributed food to save the people, and even left it for the people when he left. Now in Xuzhou, he calms down the chaos and calms the people, and cultivates the fields to encourage farming. He is deeply loved by the people of Xuzhou.
Heart. Liu Yangzhou was attacked by Sun Ce. General Liu led his troops to fight against the rebels for Liu Yangzhou, but unexpectedly Cao Cao took advantage of the opportunity to attack."
"Cao Cao is unkind and threatens the emperor. If no one in the world dares to go against his will, the people of the world will be harmed by him. To be honest, the reason why General Zhendong left Guan Yu and other troops in Jiujiang instead of returning to rescue Xuzhou is,
The purpose is to take this opportunity to delay Cao Cao.
If it is just to save Xuzhou, all the troops in Jiujiang can be returned. What General Zhendong wants is to destroy Cao Cao and save the world."
Zhou Ping continued: "With the power of Xuzhou, we can protect the state, but if we destroy Cao Cao, we will not be able to do what we want. The only person who can destroy Cao Cao now is Yuan Jizhou. Cao Cao has great talents and ambitions. If he is allowed to dominate the world, he will not be able to do so."
He was afraid that the Han Dynasty would be abolished and he would become self-reliant. To destroy Cao Cao and to welcome the emperor to Ye was the urgent need and a rare opportunity. Yuan Jizhou hesitated, and General Ju objected again, hoping that Cao Cao could go and give him peace.
, I urge him to also persuade Yuan Jizhou. This is a blessing to Xuzhou, a blessing to the emperor, and a blessing to the world and Jizhou!"
If the emperor comes to Yecheng, it will definitely be easier for people from Jizhou to join the court and serve as officials.
Zhou Ping first praised Liu Bei, and then talked about sending troops to attack Xu, hoping that Tian Feng could persuade Ju Shou.
If Jushou also agrees to send troops, and Zhou Ping can convince Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others, then sending troops is inevitable.
Tian Feng thought for a moment and said: "Feng has heard of Liu Zhendong's benevolent and righteous deeds, and his ability to know people with a single step. Indeed, Liu Zhendong has the bravery of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and Chen Yuanlong, who can fight with a single step."
Xiang Zuo, it is not difficult to defend the state and resist the enemy. Liu Zhendong left troops in Jiujiang and came here to ask for help, hoping to fight for a permanent victory. Of course Feng knew this painstaking effort. However, Yuan Jizhou and Cao Cao had an old relationship, and Cao Cao now bowed to him.
, It is really difficult to predict whether Yuan Jizhou is willing to send troops, so he can only talk to General Ju and persuade the envoy. The result depends on whether he can convince Guo Gongze and others."
When Zhou Ping heard that he was overjoyed, he quickly stood up and bowed to Tian Feng: "Don't go and talk to me, Ping should say thank you!"
Tian Feng was well-known in Jizhou, and he was also a special agent of Jizhou. Yuan Shao could listen to his words, but he could not influence Yuan Shao's decision because there were too many people around Yuan Shao who could speak.
But if Tian Feng, Jushou Shenpei and others do it together, the effect will be much better. Of course, the final result will depend on whether Yingchuan people strongly oppose it.
Even if everyone in Yingchuan disapproves, as long as they don't object, the matter will be settled.
Zhou Ping bid farewell to Tian Feng and rushed to meet Feng Ji with Zhang Wu.
When Zhou Ping met Tian Feng this time, he felt that he had respect for Liu Bei, but did not show his admiration.
In other words, if you want Tian Feng to assist Liu Bei, unless Yuan Shao dies and Liu Bei gets Jizhou, but even if such a moment happens, I don't know how many years will it be.
After Zhou Ping left, Tian Feng immediately went to see Shen Pei, and then went with Shen Pei to see Ju Shou to explain all the stakes.
Jushou was finally persuaded by them and felt that if the emperor was welcomed to Yecheng and a benevolent and righteous man like Liu Bei was there to help him, the world would be in peace as soon as possible.
Moreover, the emperor will not stay in Yecheng for long. uuReading www.uukanshu.com He will persuade Yuan Shao to send people to repair Luoyang. After the Luoyang palace is fully repaired, the emperor should return to Luojing.
Zhou Ping actually also thought about whether if he tried so hard to persuade Yuan Shao to please the emperor, he would eventually drive away the wolf and reintroduce the tiger.
After destroying Cao Cao, will Yuan Shao become more powerful, so powerful that no one can defeat him?
But when he thought about it carefully, no matter how powerful Yuan Shao was, he might not be as powerful as Cao Cao when he became prime minister and king of Wei.
Even though Cao Cao was so powerful, he couldn't conquer the world immediately, let alone Yuan Shao, who was not good at using people.
Moreover, the destruction of Cao Cao would also be beneficial to Liu Bei. At least Yuzhou could be included in Liu Bei's sphere of influence, and he might even get the county of Yanzhou.
In Zhou Ping's idea, it would be best to let Shen Pei or Guo Tu serve as the governor of Yanzhou. In this case, there will be a buffer between Liu Bei and Yuan Shao and no conflict will occur.
After capturing Yangzhou, destroying Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, and integrating the power of Xu, Yu, and Yangzhou, they can join forces with Liu Biao of Jingzhou and openly fight against Yuan Shao.
However, these are just assumptions, and it is difficult to know what the results will be.
Zhou Ping came to Feng Ji's house and found that Xu You was also there. This was good because he could save himself a trip.
