"My lord, your words of filial piety are very true. Now that our army is at its peak, Yanxu and Xuzhou will never dare to stroke the beard of our army. Taking this opportunity to pacify the north is actually the best strategy."
Entrusted by his younger brother, Xun Kan also repeatedly brainwashed Lin Feng in an attempt to dispel his idea of sending his army south.
Lin Feng knew better than them that Cao Dabai was not easy to mess with, but there was nothing he could do about it. Although the [Stealing Jade and Fragrance] mission lasted for one year, it was extremely difficult. Lin Feng had to start preparing for a rainy day, and then stationed heavy troops.
In Yecheng, he was ready to go south to attack Chen Liu at any time.
He picked up the wine glass and signaled to Guo Jia and Xun Kan. He drank it all in one gulp. Lin Feng let out a breath of alcohol and chuckled and said: "The princes in the world are bustling with each other, but there are only a few people I value. Gongsun Zan and Ding Yuan in the north are all
If they are not included in this list, these two people are like chickens and dogs, so why should they matter?"
"Although Cao Mengde now occupies only Yanzhou, he is like a flying dragon lurking in the abyss or a fierce tiger trapped in a hill. Once the wind and clouds stir up, he will soar into the sky and roar in the mountains and forests. We must be on guard."
Lin Feng did not expect that his casual words of emotion would elicit a huge reaction from Xun Kan.
"My lord, what you said is wrong. Since ancient times, when fighting against foreign forces, we must first make peace at home. Now that Cao Mengde is trapped in Yanzhou and eager to get involved in Yuzhou, it is the best time for our army to eliminate future troubles and stabilize itself. If we meet Yanzhou's swordsmen in advance, we will be sure to do so in the short term.
Having nothing to gain will only give Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others a chance to recuperate, making it even more difficult to surrender in the future."
Xun Kan's meaning is obvious. Cao Cao is difficult to deal with and there will be no results in a short time. It is better to concentrate on beating Yuan Shao away and taking Gongsun Zan.
The two Xun brothers are indistinguishable from each other in this trend of thought, and even the genius Guo Jia supports it.
But Lin Feng couldn't express his pain, and he couldn't tell others that the person he really wanted to deal with was not Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's wife Bian.
Guo Jia saw that Xun Kan seemed to be in a really good mood. He quickly got up and poured him a glass of wine. He held it up with both hands and brought it to Xun Kan: "If you are a brother, you are a great talent. You must first calm down your internal affairs when dealing with foreign affairs, so that you can bow down to Jia."
Brother, please drink this cup to the full."
Xun Kan took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, and his head, which was dizzy with blood, gradually cooled down.
He had such a temper. Once his stubbornness broke out, he would pick on anyone and only ask about right and wrong without looking at the target. It was precisely because of this that Han Fu was never able to reuse him.
Now he got angry again and actually attacked Lin Feng in person. Fortunately, Guo Jia reminded him from the side, and then he apologized to Lin Feng: "I was too excited just now, and I didn't hesitate to say something. I hope my lord Haihan will do it."
Lin Feng laughed heartily: "Friends, why do you have to be like this? The three of us sit down and talk about each other. We only recognize right and wrong, but not our identity. How can we be so different from each other?"
Seeing Lin Feng's magnanimity, Xun Kan felt a stone fall in his stomach. He accidentally showed his true nature. If he did this in front of Han Fu, he would definitely be treated coldly for several days. Fortunately, Xun Yu didn't say anything.
Wrong, Lin Feng has always been informal and rarely talks about superiority and inferiority.
Comparing Han Fu with Lin Feng, there is a world of difference. It can even be said that comparing Han Fu with Lin Feng is simply an insult to Lin Feng.
After a few hurriedly exchanged words, the three of them resumed their chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere at the table became harmonious again.
In Guo Jia's mind, this type of argument is meaningless. What needs to be said has already been made clear to Lin Feng. Lin Feng has never rejected the suggestion of expelling Yuan Shao, but for some reason, Lin Feng is far more interested in Chen Liu than in the north.
What is a mastermind?
It's not about telling the lord that he can do this or that he can't do it, but that he points out the best implementation plan after the lord proposes a goal.
Suggestions can be made, but like Tietouba, he believes that the lord must follow his own baton, otherwise he will be a mediocre leader and a weak king. The final outcome will be either alienation and neglect of morality, or the separation of yin and yang with death.
The reason why Guo Jia in history has never been replaced in Cao Cao's heart is because Guo Jia always tried his best to help Cao Cao solve problems, instead of pointing fingers beforehand and making the world brighter afterwards.
Under Guo Jia's conscious mediation, Xun Kan was ultimately unable to bring the topic back to the strategic direction.
After Guo Jia helped the tipsy Xun Kan leave, Lin Feng took a nap under the influence of wine. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhong Er got up from the bed in high spirits, and quietly left the house with Pei Yuanshao through the side door of the backyard, dressed lightly and simply.
Go outside the East City Gate.
To be honest, Lin Feng is feeling both sad and happy right now.
Because Yan'er and Mi'er came to Yecheng secretly, he naturally had to go outside the city to greet them.
But besides Yan'er and Mi'er, there are also two brothers-in-law, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao.
The fact that Yan'er and Mi'er are coming to Yecheng has nothing to do with Lin Feng. It's entirely because Mr. Cai's habit of textual research has relapsed.
Yecheng is very famous in history. The famous Ximen Leopard flood control story happened in Yecheng. Later, after Cao Dabailian defeated Yuan Shao, he made Yecheng his capital. After more than ten years of construction, it became the only city in the north.
Second to Chang'an, it is one of the two metropolises of Luoyang.
Du Mu's poem goes: "The east wind does not agree with Zhou Lang, and the Tongque Spring is locked in the two Qiaos." The Tongque Tower here was built after Cao Dabailian made Yecheng the capital. Cao Pi became emperor of Luoyang, and even moved Yecheng
It was designated as one of the companion capitals, which shows the importance of Yecheng.
Cai Yong did not know which ancient unique book found that when Ximen Bao was controlling the water in Yecheng to worship the river god, he once placed a stone tablet on the bank of the Zhangshui River. The inscription on the tablet was "Sacrifice to the River God" written by Ximen Bao himself.
Originally, Cai Yong wrote a letter asking Lin Feng to help find this monument. Unfortunately, Lin Feng was a typical uneducated person. How could he possibly complete this task?
So Yan'er volunteered to come to Yecheng to search for and engrave the inscription.
Mi'er stayed with Yan'er during this period and played so much that she didn't want to go home. For her, Yan'er's sister pampered her even more than her own mother.
When I heard that Yan'er was coming to Yecheng, I had to follow her no matter what.
Yan'er had no choice but to agree to Mi'er's request.
After the Zhen family heard about this, of course they would not stop Mi'er from going to Yecheng. By this time, the relationship between the Zhen family and Lin Feng had turned upside down.
It is no longer the time when Lin Feng needed the support of the Zhen family, but the time when the Zhen family must hug their son-in-law's extremely thick legs. If the Zhen family doesn't want to hug him, there are many people in the world who want to hug him.
When we form a team, it won't be a problem to line up from Youzhou in the north to Jiaozhou in the south, at least to Jingzhou.
So the brothers Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao mobilized eight hundred private soldiers of the Zhen family and personally escorted Yan'er and Mi'er to Yecheng.
Of course, it's not that Pingyuan City refuses to send people to escort. Mr. Cai is currently the prefect of Pingyuan, and he still has the right to send hundreds of people to escort his daughter.
In fact, the Zhen family's presence in the Pingyuan Group has been relatively low recently, so they just took this opportunity to let Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao show their faces in front of Lin Feng to increase their presence.
It happened that Cai Yong was not a person who was attached to power, and had no intention of competing with the Zhen family for the authority of his relatives. Therefore, as soon as the Zhen family suggested it, the old man agreed.
Lin Feng and Pei Yuanshao were in a pavilion three or four miles away from the east city gate, looking east in the distance, wondering when Yan'er and Mi'er would arrive.
Pei Yuanshao was very surprised: "My lord, my mistress doesn't need to cover up when she comes to Yecheng. Why don't you notify everyone in Yecheng to come and greet her?"
Apart from anything else, it would be appropriate to at least let Xun Kan, the person in charge of Ye City, meet Yan'er Mi'er.
Lin Feng smiled faintly.
"It's not that I deliberately didn't inform everyone in Yecheng, but your mistress wrote to tell me that she didn't want to cause trouble to everyone in Yecheng. For some small matters, it's best to come quietly and leave quietly."
Pei Yuanshao's face was full of emotion: "Sure enough, as good as the lord is, there must be as good as the mistress. One family cannot enter the same house."
Lin Feng looked at Pei Yuanshao in surprise. He didn't expect that this boy's flattery skills had increased recently. Could it be that he had consulted an expert in private?
"Okay, Yuan Shao, you are getting better and better at talking. I will tell your mistress these words again later. I guarantee that you will win a lot of favors today."
Pei Yuanshao shook his head repeatedly: "Master, stop teasing me. I only dare to say a few casual words when I'm with you. How dare I be so blatantly flattering when I meet my mistress."
Lin Feng was immediately offended by Pei Yuanshao: "You mean I prefer to listen to slander?"
