Tian Feng has been in the cell for several days, but he has not suffered much. The Tian family is a wealthy family in Hebei, and he himself is famous, so the jailers are quite respectful to him. Moreover, the Tian family is not short of money.
Not only did the people above him not mistreat him, but they served him with good food and wine every day.
On this day, Tian Feng was studying in prison. The jailer walked in and said with some sigh: "You are wrong now. The lord's troops have occupied half of Yanzhou, and now everyone outside is...
....”
Tian Feng put down the book and said with a smile: "They are all laughing at me, right?"
The jailer said: "It's not a joke. I mean you can't get it right every time, but you still get it wrong once."
Tian Feng sighed softly and said: "My lord... Yuan Shijun is generous on the outside but jealous on the inside. If I say the right thing, he will definitely be angry in his heart and will kill me. On the contrary, because he said
Only if you are wrong can you be forgiven!"
The jailer smiled and said: "If this is really the case, then I would like to congratulate you."
A few days later, Yuan Shao indeed sent an envoy to humiliate Tian Feng in front of him, and then arrogantly announced, "I pardon you, go home and reflect!"
Tian Feng smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much for your kindness."
Since he has been deprived of his official position, he is no longer Yuan Shao's subordinate, and he can no longer call Yuan Shao "lord". When Tian Feng returned home, his family members all cried with joy. His son was afraid that he would not be able to think clearly, so he comforted him and said:
"Father, although this was not expected, it is a happy event that he saved his life after all. Please don't worry about it."
Tian Feng laughed and said: "How can I care? By the way, you secretly find this person and invite him to come to your house. Remember, you must be careful about things and don't make it public. Well, I'll edit a book and you can take it.
Just go give it to him."
Although his son was puzzled, he still accepted the order and left. Then Tian Feng asked his family to collect and pack the household items, "Don't bring too much, it will be enough for us to use for one or two years."
After hearing this, the family couldn't help but look at each other. The wife came up and asked, "Have you been in jail for too long and your brain is confused? Our property is all in Hebei, so why are we packing it up? Even if we go back to our hometown, there is no need to prepare.
.”
Tian Feng smiled and said: "Just do it, and you will see the results after a long time."
In the evening, Tian Feng ordered his family to prepare the food and wine and place them in the lobby. He retreated and waited alone in the lobby. At some point, the shadow on the wall suddenly shook, and someone appeared behind him. Tian Feng
Feng didn't look back, looked at the opposite shadow on the ground, raised his glass and said, "Since we're here, why don't we have a drink together first?"
Shi A walked out from behind with brisk steps and said calmly: "It's admirable that Mr. Tian is in such a good mood just after he came out of prison."
Tian Feng put down his wine glass and laughed heartily: "After walking around in the prison, I let go of everything. When I was in there, I had nothing to do but read books and figure things out. It made me think a lot.
Little things.”
Shi A sat down next to Tian Feng and said calmly: "What does that have to do with me?"
Tian Feng said with a smile: "I intend to go to Guanzhong tomorrow to avoid trouble, and please send someone to protect me secretly."
Shi'a's expression changed slightly, and the aura on his body suddenly became fierce, as if a sword had broken free of its restraints, revealing its cold blade, "I don't understand what Mr. Tian said!"
Tian Feng smiled and said: "The general has many elite soldiers and generals, and the most elite among them are called tooth soldiers. People in the world often say: The emperor of Chang'an is the tooth soldier of Xiliang. Among the tooth soldiers of Xiliang, the bravest one is
Being called the Xiliang Dragon Riders, you should know better than me."
Shi'a's hand slowly moved to his waist, "Mr. Tian's words are becoming increasingly difficult to understand."
Tian Feng continued: "If you want to become a Xiliang Dragon Rider, the conditions are very demanding. Not only do you need to be extremely brave, but you also need to have made many military exploits, and you also need to master the magical skill of 'blocking the enemy'. Although you try your best to hide it, but in the
I have made many attacks in front of others, and I have also used the magic technique of 'blocking counterattack' many times, as long as I am willing, I can still detect it."
Shi A suddenly stood up, unsheathed his sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at Tian Feng's eyebrows. Shi A has been practicing swordsmanship for more than ten years, and his sword skills have already been mastered. He stood up, and the movement of drawing the sword was very smooth, without any redundancy.
Tian Feng's actions only caused a blur in his eyes, and when he blinked again, he was already being pointed at with a long sword.
Tian Feng smiled and said: "Your Excellency, there is no need to panic. Yuan Benchu can't tolerate me, so I will naturally flee elsewhere to avoid trouble. Looking at the world, is there any better place than under the rule of the general? Although I don't have much ability,
He never belittles himself, so he must be of some use to the general."
"I didn't expect Mr. Tian to be so knowledgeable about swordsmanship," Shi A snorted, returned the sword to its sheath, and said, "Since you want to leave, let's do it as soon as possible."
Tian Feng said: "I have ordered people to pack their bags and we can set off now!"
A smile finally appeared on Shi'a's face. He shook his head and said, "It's getting late now and it would be too conspicuous to go out. It's better to leave the city tomorrow morning and then sleep in the open air and rush all the way to Bingzhou."
Tian Feng said simply: "Then do as you say!"
The next day, Tian Feng took his family and drove several large cars out of the west gate of Yecheng. Since then, he has not been seen back. Another half month passed, and bad news suddenly came from the south. Yuan
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of the emperor, was beheaded by Lu Bu. After the general Chunyu Qiong was captured, he cursed loudly and died unyieldingly.
After Yuan Shao heard about the tragic death of his eldest son, he was furious. On the one hand, he ordered Ju Yi to withdraw his troops from the front line of Xuzhou, and on the other hand, he sent people back to Yecheng to execute Tian Feng. However, when Yuan Shao's envoy led troops and horses to kill Tian Feng's home, they found that
The building has long since been deserted. There is a thin layer of dust on the various furniture in the room, which indicates that no one has been there for a while.
After asking around, I discovered that Tian Feng had disappeared more than ten days ago, that is, after he was released. After searching for a long time inside and outside Yecheng, no one knew where Tian Feng's family had gone. Inside and outside the city
The people discussed this a lot until bad news came from the south.
Ju Yi refused to withdraw his troops, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou were not with him, so they returned to Changyi with their troops. Yuan Shao was upset because of the death of his eldest son Yuan Tan, and later received news that Tian Feng's family was missing.
He was even more angry. Without waiting for all the soldiers and horses to gather, he asked Yan Liang to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xu Rong's tribe, ordering "Be sure to take off the heads of Xu Rong and Lu Bu, and keep no prisoners captured!"
Then, Xu Rong won consecutive battles, and his general Lu Bu killed Yan Liang in the battle formation, and also killed Wen Chou in the battle formation. After opening up the road to Dongjun, Xu Rong had 10,000 more soldiers and horses. He
With 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses, he quickly rushed forward without giving Yuan Shao's army a chance to breathe. He defeated Yuan Shao's army one by one, and then fought a decisive battle with Ju Yi who finally returned under Changyi City.
The two sides fought fiercely for a whole day, and Xu Rongjun, after paying huge casualties, smashed Hebei's Euphorbia warriors and strong crossbowmen into rubbish. In front of the Tiger Crouching Cannon, Ju Yi's two ace cards of heavy infantry and crossbowmen were taken away.
Ju Yi was very brave. When the battle situation was unfavorable, he led his troops to launch a desperate charge, and then died on the way to the charge.
After Chen Cheng received the news from Xu Rongjun outside Xiangyi City, he laughed for a while and said: "I knew that Xu Rong was a general, but I didn't expect that he could give me so many surprises. Then we won't follow him either.
Cao Cao stopped talking nonsense and ordered the artillery battalion to send me all the artillery shells into the city!"
There were several more earthen fortresses outside the city, and dozens of large and small artillery fired at the same time, turning Xiangyi City into a hell of steel and blood. Unless you were hiding in a house built with thick bricks, those pieces of wood would not be able to survive at all.
It doesn't have much defensive power. As long as it is hit by a solid bullet, it will explode into flying flesh and blood.
The bombardment lasted for a full hour. After the ammunition carried by the army was used up, the ammunition brought by Chen Cheng was also used up. The bronze breech of the cannon turned red, and cracks appeared on the cannons of several artillery pieces.
After the bombardment ended, the city was completely devastated, and no organized troops could be seen at all.
Just when Chen Cheng was about to let the infantry enter the city, soldiers and horses suddenly fled out of the city gate that had been moved, and fires broke out in many places in the city. The Xiliang cavalry came forward and chased them for a while, while the infantry
Entering the city to put out the fire. The soldiers and civilians in the city had long been frightened by the continuous shelling. When they saw the enemy entering the city, they did not resist. Instead, they knelt on both sides of the road and put their lives in the hands of the enemy.
Chen Cheng counted the prisoners after the war, but did not find Cao Cao. It is said that when Xiahou Dun broke out, Cao Mengde had set himself on fire. Naturally, Chen Cheng did not believe this statement, and ordered that he be seen alive and dead. However,
The shuttle patrolled for several days, but found nothing. Instead, it found the bodies of the Weitz family.
Here Chen Cheng defeated Cao Cao's main force. After being blocked for a period of time, Lu Fang's troops, who led the troops to invade Yuzhou, then advanced rapidly and captured several cities in one day. Especially when Cao Cao was severely defeated and then trapped
When he arrived in Xiangyi, rumors spread all over Yuzhou. Yan Xiang came forward and persuaded the local powerful and generals to put down their weapons and open the doors to welcome the imperial army.
After pacifying Yuzhou, Lu Fang led his troops southward and garrisoned Hefei, Juchao, Shuxian, Liyang and other places, eyeing Sun Ce in the east of the Yangtze River. Sun Ce, who was leading the naval warships to fight against the Jingzhou navy, heard that Cao Cao was defeated and Yuzhou
After hearing the news that all of them had surrendered to the imperial court, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Sun Ce originally thought that Cao Cao was good at using troops. After taking over all of Yuzhou and half of Yanzhou, the number of soldiers and horses increased to hundreds of thousands. With the favorable location and people, even if he could not win a big victory, he would still cause the imperial army to suffer a lot. However,
He never imagined that the tyrannical Cao Cao would be wiped out in just two months.
Moreover, Yuan Shao was defeated by Xu Rong, and Hebei was attacked by Gongsun Zan again. The world seemed to be turned upside down in an instant. Sun Ce led the navy's warship back east. He looked in the direction of Jiangxia,
He said sadly: "Yanzhou and Yuzhou have been pacified, and Hebei must not be able to sustain it for long. Gongjin, we have no chance to complete the strategy of 'reaching the extremes of the Yangtze River', let alone march into the Central Plains."
Zhou Yu was no less frightened than Sun Ce, but he still comforted Sun Ce and said: "The northerners are good at horses, and the southerners are good at boats. With the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, the imperial army can't do anything to us!"
