At first glance, the situation in the north seemed turbulent and unclear. However, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Ma Teng and Han Sui withdrew one after another, and the situation in Guanzhong became clear. Chang'an was also firmly in Wang Can's hands and could not be shaken.
Jia Xu and Li Ru led their troops back to Chang'an, while Guo Jia and Xun You, after confirming that Cao Cao had withdrawn, stayed for a few more days and then led their troops back. However, when Guo Jia left Hangu Pass, he strictly ordered the generals guarding the pass to ignore any encounters they encountered.
Under any circumstances, you cannot open the level without permission to meet the enemy, nor can you be greedy for credit. You just need to defend Hangu Pass.
In this way, Guo Jia and Xun You left with peace of mind.
The two armies returned to Chang'an one after another, and the war in the north also came to an end.
…
Hanzhong County, Nanzheng County.
After Wang Can received the news from Wang Yue's flying pigeon, he learned about Yuan Shao's defeat and Cao Cao's initiative to withdraw his troops. However, the news about Han Sui and Ma Teng happened later, and Wang Yue had not yet sent the news back.
, but Ma Teng and Han Sui are just scabies and are not a cause for concern.
With Jia Xu, Li Ru, Guo Jia and Xun You staying in Chang'an, they could easily block Ma Teng and Han Sui.
In the study, Xu Shu and Wang Can sat opposite each other.
Wang Can said directly: "Yuanzhi, Wang Yue has sent back the news that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have withdrawn their troops and returned to their respective jurisdictions. The departure of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao has stabilized the situation in the north, and we no longer have to worry about the situation in the north.
.”
"ah??"
Xu Shu exclaimed and was stunned. There was a look of surprise in his eyes. He was shocked by Wang Can's news, and soon a smile appeared on Xu Shu's face.
Xu Shu was so happy in his heart that he couldn't help stroking his palms and laughing: "Awesome, really awesome. Originally, I was worried that Jia Xu and Li Ru were not Yuan Shao's opponents, but now it seems that the two of them really cheated and defeated, and then accomplished their feats in one battle, defeating Yuan Shao in one go.
We returned to Jizhou. This time, I finally subdued them. These two people were able to defeat Yuan Shao in one go, which is admirable."
Xu Shu looked at Wang Can, but saw that there was no smile on Wang Can's face, and was stunned again.
Now that the serious problem in the north has been solved, why is Wang Can still not happy?
Xu Shu asked: "My lord, the great trouble in the north has been put down. Although Liu Bei, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu have united, they are already clowns and cannot be successful. The current situation is very good, why is my lord unhappy?"
Wang Can sighed and said, "Having said that, there is also a troublesome thing!"
Xu Shu asked: "Why is it so difficult? Please make it clear, my lord!"
Wang Can said slowly: "Jia Xu and Li Ru defeated Yuan Shao, but captured Tian Feng, Yuan Shao's counselor, on the battlefield. This Tian Feng was a stinking stone, with a bad temper and a hard temper, and could not be persuaded to surrender. He kept shouting that he should surrender.
Let Li Ru and Jia Xu kill him to prove their ambition. However, this man is so talented that it is hard to let go!"
Xu Shu said: "My lord wants to recruit Tian Feng to surrender and take it for his own use?"
Wang Can rolled his eyes, isn't this nonsense?
Who is Tian Feng? He is also a famous figure in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
How could Wang Can not want to take such a top strategist for his own use? In fact, if Yuan Shao could humbly adopt Tian Feng's advice, it would be difficult to defeat him.
It's a pity that Yuan Shao was generous on the surface but narrow-minded. He had great talents but couldn't put them to use, so he suffered defeat.
Wang Can said sternly: "Yuan Zhi, Tian Feng has an upright character and has always spoken out and accepted advice. It was precisely because of Tian Feng's temper that he offended Yuan Shao, causing Yuan Shao to imprison Tian Feng in a prison car. When Yuan Shao was defeated,
Then he abandoned Tian Feng and ran away. Although Yuan Shao abandoned Tian Feng, Tian Feng was loyal to Yuan Shao, which is a headache!"
After Xu Shu heard this, he also fell into silence.
He asked: "Lord, has Tian Feng been sent to Hanzhong?"
Wang Can nodded and said: "It has been delivered and is being placed in the county house. I also met Tian Feng."
Xu Shu thought for a while and then said: "My lord, how do you treat Tian Feng?"
When Wang Can heard this, he raised his brows and immediately said loudly: "Tian Feng has great talent and is a first-class figure in the world. Naturally, he must provide good food and drink. We cannot wait for Tian Feng."
Yuan Shao's character destined that Yuan Shao could not reuse Tian Feng, but Wang Can could and could use Tian Feng.
Wang Can has Cheng Yu who enforces the law impartially and is a very strict person, but Tian Feng is upright and loyal. If used well, he will definitely be a rare "cool official" and become Wang Can's important minister.
The term "cruel official" was most popular during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.
In fact, cruel officials are not the so-called cruelty of loyal people and abuse of criminal laws. During the Western Han Dynasty, the cruel officials of the imperial court were the emperor's confidants and the sharpest swords in the emperor's hands.
The cruel officials in the imperial court have three most prominent and typical characteristics.
The first is that he specializes in fighting against powerful people. To describe it in later terms, he is keen on "cracking down on gangsters" and specializes in fighting against gangster forces. The second is that cruel officials have very outstanding political achievements, especially good at rectifying corrupt officials and punishing lawless powerful officials.
The third is that the cruel officials are talented enough and loyal to the emperor. Most of them are very honest people.
Tian Feng has an upright character, is outspoken and accepts advice, does not tolerate flattering villains, and hates evil. If such a person is used by Wang Can, he is just right to become Wang Can's cruel staff.
Xu Shu saw that Wang Can admired Tian Feng very much and knew that Wang Can was determined to harvest Tian Feng for his own use.
He buried his head in thought and thought carefully about the solution.
For a person like Li Ru who knows current affairs, he can use his family to threaten him. But Tian Feng is different. Once Tian Feng is pushed into a hurry, he also chooses to agree to Wang Can, but he can be in Wang Ying and his heart is in Jizhou. If such a situation occurs
The gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, Tian Feng must be convinced and follow Wang Can wholeheartedly.
Suddenly, Xu Shu's eyes lit up.
He cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I have thought of a way."
Wang Can was overjoyed when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "What can I do? Please tell me."
Xu Shu said seriously: "Tian Feng lives in the county government now, so we can use some tricks. All we need is this... In this way, Tian Feng will not be grateful to the lord."
After Wang Can heard this, he carefully considered whether Xu Shu's plan was feasible.
After a pause, Wang Can said: "Tian Feng is also a man of extraordinary resourcefulness. I'm afraid such a little scheme will be seen through."
Xu Shu spread his hands and said helplessly: "My lord, you won't know until you try it. I can only think of this method at the moment. If you think the method is not feasible, then give me a few more days to think about it carefully."
Let’s see if we can think of other ways, but it’s difficult to deal with a hard rock like Tian Feng!”
Wang Can sighed and said, "Okay, just follow your plan!"
"promise!"
Xu Shu clasped his fists and agreed, saying: "My lord, I will make arrangements for my humble duty and prepare for execution."
Wang Can waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, I hope your strategy can conquer Tian Feng."
Xu Shu stood up and bowed to Wang Can, then turned and left the study.
After Xu Shu left, Wang Can sat at the table and fell into deep thought. Although Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were defeated and the north was no longer in danger, the world was about to undergo great changes, and he must seize the time and seize the opportunity.
At this time, the world is turbulent and full of progress.
