After hearing Tian Feng's confirmation, Yuan Shu also shook his head.
"Why?"
Now it was Tian Feng's turn to be confused. He didn't understand why Yuan Shu refused.
"No reason, I am the lord, Chen Gong is my adviser, and a man takes responsibility for his actions. It's not like I can't afford such a small crime, so why should I let my subordinates suffer for me?
It’s unnecessary.”
As a man, Yuan Shu could not let Chen Gong, a minister, take on such a bad name for him.
"Lord, there are some things you can do, and there are some things you really can't do. If I were Gongtai, I would let you return to Jizhou."
As a protagonist, he agreed with Yuan Shu's approach, but sometimes these things were really not something Yuan Shu could do.
"What's wrong?
Am I not worthy of those rumors with my body?
You underestimate me."
Yuan Shu frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Tian Feng had the same idea as Chen Gong and wanted to return to Jizhou by himself.
"Lord, if you are just an ordinary lord, I am very happy that you can say this, but you are not just our lord now, you will be an emperor next, the supreme lord of the land of Han Dynasty.
God of the people,
As an emperor, you must not have any stain on yourself. This is the principle and the bottom line."
Tian Feng directly stated the reason for this. As a lord, it is okay to have some stains, but as an emperor, there must be no stains.
"Then I can't let Gongtai just throw excrement all over me. This will make others feel cold. I will be the emperor and leave all the dirty work to others. I can't do it."
Although Tian Feng had already said this and Yuan Shu recognized it and agreed with his statement, he could not sit back and watch his own people label him like this.
"Lord, actually Gongtai did this for his own reasons."
Tian Feng glanced at Yuan Shu and said something like this.
"Tell me, what's the reason why he did this? Why did he just blame himself?"
Yuan Shu was completely confused now. He didn't know what Chen Gong was thinking.
"My lord, there is a reason why Gongtai did this. He couldn't help it. It seems that you have done this before, lord."
Tian Feng thought for a moment and then directly told Yuan Shu what happened in the past.
"You mean Gongtai wants to take advantage of the Jiaozhou incident to taint himself?
Is he afraid that when the world is settled in the future, I will take action against those who have made meritorious deeds, so he wants to do this?"
Now Yuan Shu completely understood that Chen Gong not only wanted to ensure his glorious image, but also wanted to put this shit basin on his head in order to defile himself. This was because he was afraid that he would really be the last one.
With this position, he will clean up all the meritorious veterans who have conquered the world for him.
"That's probably what Gongtai thinks. He has a bit of a stain on his body. When the time comes, he will be able to retire and retire to the mountains and forests."
Tian Feng nodded to Yuan Shu again. In fact, it was not only Chen Gong who wanted to do this, but he also had this idea. Otherwise, if a hero without any flaws was really successful and shocked the master in the end, it would be difficult for Yuan Shu not to kill him.
"Do you think so too? I'm not Zhu Yuanzhang, so how could I kill a cunning rabbit and kill a lackey and slaughter the meritorious deeds?
You are all thinking too much."
Hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu also had a headache. In history, there were too many things and people that were cooked by cunning rabbits and dead lackeys.
Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, were among the best. Not only these people, but Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was also known to the world for his release of military power with a cup of wine.
Although Yuan Shu did not dare to say how smart and wise he was, he would never do anything that would make him miserable.
"Who is Zhu Yuanzhang?
Why don’t I know?”
Tian Feng was a little confused when he heard Yuan Shu talking about Zhu Yuanzhang. Yuan Shu could tell who this person was, but why didn't he know it?
"Zhu Yuanzhang is a person I know. Although he didn't have any great achievements, he did something that I still remember vividly. After he succeeded, he was afraid that his descendants would not be able to compare with those old people, so he attacked him ruthlessly.
All the old people who followed me were wiped out, so I compared him to him, and I would never be that kind of person."
Yuan Shu knew that he had spilled the beans in a hurry, and as soon as his mind turned around, he began to think back.
"Oh, then Zhu Yuanzhang is quite a figure, but as you said, my lord, Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that his descendants will not be able to suppress his old people, so isn't my lord afraid that your sons and grandsons will not be able to suppress us old people while they are still alive?
This is human nature. I think Zhu Yuanzhang did the right thing. This is like the public platform pouring sewage on himself.
When the new dynasty is established, we old people will become a new unstable factor. If you have one young master, it will be okay. If you have multiple young masters, we old people will support them separately for our own interests. What will happen then?
manage?"
Tian Feng glanced at Yuan Shu, hesitated for a moment, and then said what was in his heart.
"Haha, you are overthinking. Even if a new dynasty is established, it will be the result of our joint efforts. I, Yuan Shu, have meritorious generals like you. I will definitely not do that just because my descendants are not good enough."
When faced with Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu was stunned at first, but then immediately put forward the opposite opinion.
"Lord, these are all things for later. I think it's best to listen to Gongtai's words now and return to Jizhou. Several mistresses are pregnant. Counting the days to return to Jizhou from Jiaozhou, it's almost time. Don't you want to go back to Jizhou?
Did you watch and wait by their side when the little prince was born?"
Tian Feng knew that Yuan Shu had a bad temper, and if he disagreed with something, he would not return to Jizhou even if you told the truth, so he brought up Yuan Shu's upcoming child.
"Okay, then just pack up and prepare to return to Jizhou. Let Chen Gong do the work here."
Hearing that Tian Feng even brought up his soon-to-be-born child, Yuan Shu knew that he was really doing it for his own good. If he was so unrelenting, he would be causing trouble for his subordinates and betraying their good intentions.
"My lord is wise, I will go and reply to the telegram to the public station."
After looking at Yuan Shu, Tian Feng directly clasped his fists, arranged for guards to escort him, and arranged to send a telegram to Chen Gong.
Yuan Shu's order was conveyed among the army, and under the escort of Dian Wei and the guards, they headed north towards Jizhou. Zhao Yun led the remaining troops to rest and march towards Guangxin City.
"Meng Qi."
After receiving the telegram from Yuan Shu and Tian Feng heading north to Jizhou, Chen Gong was relieved. Only when he left could he feel free to express his ideas. It was imperative to clear Jiaozhou, and Chen Gong was bound to be the executioner.
.
"exist."
Hearing Chen Gong's call, Ma Chao came over immediately.
"To expand the military camp, Zilong has already led his troops. When they arrive, they will begin to attack the city."
Chen Gong directly ordered Ma Chao to expand the military camp to prepare for the arrival of Zhao Yun and others.
"Deqi, you said that the enemy has been besieging the city for so many days, why hasn't he attacked the city yet? With the current defense of Guangxin City, as long as they are not afraid of casualties, they will definitely be able to capture this place."
Shi Xie glanced at the scholar next to him. To be honest, he had been in a state of fear these past few days. He couldn't eat or sleep every day, and he was a little thin and out of shape.
"Sir, I think the enemy probably wants to capture Master Shiwu and Master Shiyi before attacking Guangxin City. As time goes by, when their army attacks the city, we are likely to surrender without a fight."
Zhang Zhou glanced at Shi Xie and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Hey, now I can only hope that Shiwu and Shiyi can do well and persist a little longer, so that our strong men can have more time to train. How is my fourth brother doing?
Is there any news?"
When Shi Xie heard Zhang Zhou's words, he also sighed. If Shi Wu, Shi Yi and others really died, there would be no hope for them here. At the same time, he also asked him about his fourth disciple? Is there any news there?
"Shi? There is no news from the prefect yet. The people we sent out still have no news back, but I will send people over and inform you as soon as there is news."
Regarding the news about Shi?, Zhang Zhou was at a loss. In fact, he didn't know whether he should say something. Guangxin City was now surrounded by enemies and it was impossible to escape. But he should
What is done is still done.
"Okay, you can go out."
Shi Xiechong and Zhang Zhou waved their hands, signaling him to leave.
"promise."
Zhang Zhou directly clasped his fists, turned around and left.
"Virtue,"
At the moment Zhang Zhou left, Shi Xie suddenly stopped him again.
"Lord, is there anything else?"
Zhang Zhou turned around and looked at Shi Xie.
"We can defend Guangxin and Jiaozhou, right."
Shi Xie looked at Zhang Zhou, a look of helplessness that no one noticed flashed through his eyes.
"Well, both Jiaozhou and Guangxin belong to Jiaozhou, no one can take them away, don't worry."
Zhang Zhou seemed to have noticed something, and then nodded heavily at him.
"Go ahead, I'm tired."
Although what Zhang Zhou said was very thoughtful to him, his heart suddenly seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"promise."
Time passed day by day, and Zhao Yun finally led an army of hundreds of thousands to the outside of Guangxin City and joined Chen Gongbing.
"Military advisor, we are here."
Zhao Yun brought Zang Ba and Zhang He to see Chen Gong.
"Okay, everyone, don't go outside. It's fine now that you're here."
Chen Gong directly welcomed everyone in.
"Military advisor, we are all here, how do you plan to attack Guangxin City?"
After everyone sat down, Zhao Yun directly asked Chen Gong what he was going to do next. Because Yuan Shu left, Zhao Yun knew that there must be something wrong here, and it was estimated that Chen Gong was going to go on a killing spree again.
"Since Zilong has asked a question, I won't hide it anymore. My lord has returned to Jizhou. You should know it. But why he left, my lord didn't tell you."
Chen Gong glanced at the general below, his eyes full of seriousness.
"Please also ask the military advisor to explain."
Zhao Yun knew that it was time to get down to business and immediately cooperated with Chen Gong.
"My lord goes north at my request, because what I am going to do next may be a little hard for you to accept. If anyone disagrees, the soldiers and horses can stay here, and people can go back to Jizhou directly. I have absolutely no objection, but if you don't agree with it next
If you agree to the matter now and fail to meet my requirements when doing it, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Chen Gong nodded to Zhao Yun, and then started to say ugly things.
"Whatever you say, military advisor, we should do, as long as it is for the good of the lord, I have no objection."
Zhao Yun was the first to express his stance to Chen Gong. He had already been an executioner anyway, and he didn't care about being an executioner again.
"Yes, as long as it is for the good of my lord and the good of Jizhou, I have no objection."
Ma Chao directly followed Zhao Yun's footsteps and expressed his stance to Chen Gong.
"I have no objection either."
"Same as above, I have no objection either."
Zhang He and Zang Ba also clasped their fists together to express their stance to Chen Gong.
"Okay, then I will not accept the surrender of Guangxin City. No one from the famous family in the city will be left alive."
Chen Gong directly threw the first bomb. Except for Zhao Yun, the remaining people were all stunned. They thought about all the possibilities, but they never thought that Chen Gong would say such a thing.
"Military advisor, the enemy is not allowed to surrender?
Isn’t this a little too inhumane?”
Zhang He glanced at Chen Gong and expressed his opinion directly.
"Junyi, don't be impatient. Let the military advisor finish his words first."
Zhao Yun glanced at Zhang He, knowing that Chen Gong must have more than this to say.
"Well, that's the first thing. The second thing is that apart from Guangxin City, the same applies to other counties. As long as there are families involved with the Shi family, no one will be left alive. All of them must be cleaned up."
As soon as Chen Gong said these words, he immediately expanded the scope of the purge countless times. Guangxin City was next, but he included the entire Jiaozhou.
"Military advisor, isn't this a bit much?
The entire Jiaozhou will be purged, and how many people will die."
Now even though Zhao Yun knew that Chen Gong was doing it for the good of Yuan Shu and the Jizhou Army, the scope was still too large, far beyond his expectation.
"Yes, military advisor, this is a bit too big. Although Jiaozhou is not very big, if we really do this, not just one or two people will die."
Zhang He also stood up and spoke to Chen Gong.
"Military advisor, think carefully. One person's words can determine the life and death of thousands of people. Do you really want to do this?"
Zang Ba also stood up and saluted Chen Gong with clasped fists.
The three of them all stood up, but Ma Chao couldn't sit still and followed the others to stand up.
"Everyone, sit down first. If you have anything to say, we can sit down and talk."
