Chapter 1191 Long talk! Tian Feng changed his mind
Tian Feng's old face showed a hint of relief:
"A stalemate, a stalemate is good."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "What Mr. Tian said is absolutely true."
Tian Feng turned his face sideways, looked at Bai Xiaowen and said, "Can the second young master also understand what I mean?"
There seemed to be a hint of disbelief in his tone.
Bai Xiaowen knew that the original Yuan Xi was not highly regarded in the hearts of Hebei civil servants and generals.
Yuan Shao didn't value his second son, which was one of the reasons. The most important reason was that Yuan Xi's own abilities were mediocre.
Therefore, if you want to convince Tian Feng, you must show your extraordinary vision, and you must not show off too eagerly. The ancient Chinese plane is different from ancient Europe. The cultural background of Lao, Zhuang, and Confucianism pays attention to subtlety. Even if you have some knowledge, you will not show off too much.
It will only make people with knowledge look down upon it.
This is also the reason why many Waiguo kernels did not mix well in ancient China. The rules of advancement and retreat need to be carefully controlled.
Bai Xiaowen held the courtesy of son-nephew and bowed respectfully and said: "I can't fully understand Mr. Tian's profound meaning. I can only tell you a little bit of my humble opinion. I hope Mr. Tian will not blame you for any mistakes or omissions."
Tian Feng remained calm on the surface, but actually there was a wave of excitement in his heart. Second Master Yuan seemed to have never been so respectful to a retainer and counselor like himself.
But this slight disturbance did not cause any splash. Tian Feng had seen many people, and this kind of etiquette and respect was not enough to make him change his mind.
When Yuan Shao first settled in Jizhou, he offered him a humble offer and hired him as his chariot. What happens now?
"Second Young Master, please give me a try." Tian Feng coughed and said.
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "When the two armies are fighting, the battle is not about victory or defeat at the moment. We must look at the overall situation."
"We, the four states of Hebei, have been recuperating for a long time, have sufficient food and grass, and have many soldiers and generals. Cao Cao has been fighting for years, destroying Lu Bu and driving Liu Bei away. Now he is quarreling with our army. The shortcomings of the shortage of food and grass can be foreseen. However, our army has different orders and the battle
The formation is unfamiliar, and in terms of eliteness, it is not as good as Cao Cao's army who has been fighting for years. Based on these two points, Cao Cao's advantage lies in fighting quickly, while our army's advantage lies in consumption. The current stalemate in Guandu is obviously in the interests of our army."
Yuan Shao has a large army, but he has fewer elite troops that have experienced the test of war. This is not as good as Cao's army.
If measured by the digitization of combat effectiveness, Yuan Shao's soldiers may have an average combat effectiveness of only five or six points, while Cao's army has more than eight points.
Calculated based on the actual number of armies on both sides, Yuan Shao's army of 300,000 (actual number) has a combat strength of about 1.5 million, while Cao's army has a combat strength of about 100,000.
Of course, in actual fighting, we cannot rely on the combat effectiveness on paper. The battle situation changes rapidly, and many factors such as the commander's ability and the general's bravery will affect the outcome.
And when there is not much difference in combat effectiveness, elite soldiers can take advantage of it. After all, wars are fought one by one. On the same battlefield, the number of troops that can be invested is limited. It is difficult for Yuan Shao's huge and bloated troops to fully exert their strength.
However, Yuan Shao prepared enough food and grass, and the army could draw it without any pressure for several months. Cao Cao's military food could support Cao Cao's army in the dangerous novel for a month, but it was almost out of food when Xu You came to surrender; the situation of Cao's group in the Three Kingdoms of the Spirit Realm
Similar to the romance, there are naturally some shortcomings in terms of food and grass.
After hearing this, Tian Feng nodded and said: "The second young master is right. Cao's army has been victorious in consecutive battles, and the military front is at its peak. I strongly advised the lord not to engage in a decisive battle with Cao's army, but to adopt Xu Tu's strategy of advancing slowly and exerting pressure.
It is for this reason. If my lord can use my words, Cao Cao will be exhausted within three years, and our army will win without a fight."
After a pause, Tian Feng stood up and continued: "But the current stalemate in Guandu coincides with my advice. If the stalemate continues like this, within a few months, Cao Cao will inevitably retreat and give way to the gateway to Henan! By then our army will be at the forefront.
Pointing directly at Qiao, many important places are like sharp swords reaching Cao Cao's heart. He can't sleep day and night, can he be undefeated? This is the general trend of the world. I am here, I am congratulating you, Lord!"
Tian Feng bowed in the direction of Guandu Camp.
Bai Xiaowen secretly lamented the loyalty of this old consultant, and there was no trace of frustration at being deposed on his face. For such a loyal and talented man to be convicted for his words, Yuan Shao's weakness in employing people can be seen.
"Tian Gong's words are correct." Bai Xiaowen agreed and joined Tian Feng in wishing Yuan Shao an early success.
After the ceremony, Tian Feng stroked his beard and said, "Young Master, you must have important things to do when you come here. I wonder if you want to find me, a guilty person, for something?"
Unknowingly, Tian Feng's perception of "Yuan Xi" has changed: [I didn't realize that the second young master had such a vision before. It's a pity that he is not the eldest son...]
Tian Feng's thoughts flashed through his mind without any expression on his face.
Here comes the topic.
Bai Xiaowen said solemnly: "Young man, I am here also for official business, and I beg Mr. Tian for help!" He bowed to the ground.
Tian Feng had just sat down and quickly stood up: "I don't dare to treat you as a gift from the master. Please make it clear to me that if it is something I am responsible for, I will not refuse."
Bai Xiaowen sighed secretly, what I ask for is not your business.
"Now there is a fierce battle in Guandu, and the stalemate between the two is indeed beneficial to our army. However, with Cao Cao's deceit and the wisdom of his counselors such as Xun, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, etc., how can he be willing to sit back and wait for death? Mr. Tian, please think carefully."
In the novel, Xi Zhicai died early, but in the Three Kingdoms of the Spirit Realm, he is still alive and well. This is not good news.
Tian Feng frowned and fell into silence. He walked around the cell twice and said:
"I have always heard of the talents of Yingchuan. Since I can see through this kind of general dispute, I think Xun and his like can also notice it."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "Yes, in my opinion, Cao Jun will definitely not be willing to face a stalemate, and will definitely use strange strategies to win. And there is another unspeakable thing."
Tian Feng asked curiously: "What does it mean to be unspeakable?"
Bai Xiaowen took a breath and said: "My father did not adopt Mr. Tian's advice of protracted war and attrition war. Instead, he thought of finishing his work in one battle. The same is true for the counselors who followed him, such as Guo Tufengji and others. Now in Guandu
The stalemate is just in agreement with Mr. Tian’s advice and is not my father’s original intention.”
Looking at Tian Feng's frown, Bai Xiaowen continued: "I am afraid that in my father's heart, like Cao Cao, he wants a quick victory. If my father holds this mentality, he will definitely be taken advantage of by Cao Jun."
Tian Feng said: "If Jushou is with the army, he will definitely advise the lord."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "Tian Gong should know his father better than the boy. Ju Shou has a strong nature and is not as good as Feng Ji Guo Tu and others who are good at figuring out the superior's intentions and flattering. If you insist on admonishing, you will inevitably make the same mistake as Tian Gong."
Tian Feng looked at Bai Xiaowen and stopped talking.
