Yuan Shao was not willing to come to Lin Feng's welcome banquet.
When he was in Luoyang, he looked down on Lin Feng. Although the two were both the eighth captain of Xiyuan, they had almost no interaction with each other.
Now in Wuyuan City, the wealth and life of the Yuan family are in Lin Feng's hands, but Yuan Shao cannot help but follow his own temper.
Fortunately, Lin Feng really treated Yuan Shao as a friend and did not show any arrogance of a winner. Instead, he always had a smile on his face, as elegant as a prince.
"Brother Benchu, although you and I finally met each other and fought on the battlefield, it was just a battle of ideas and did not involve the friendship between you and me. Now that the dust of the Jizhou war has settled, I wonder what my brother will do in the future?"
Yuan Shao especially wanted to slap Lin Feng back: "The fighting in Zhongshan County is still in full swing, and you actually said with a shameless face that the war in Jizhou has been settled?"
It's a pity that his status does not allow him to be so willful.
"Zhirou, to be honest, Shao is exhausted physically and mentally at this time. He doesn't want to get involved in worldly affairs anymore. He just wants to lead his people back to his homeland, wear sackcloth for a while in the fields, and spend the rest of his life studying farming and passing down family traditions."
Brother, there is no need to test. If you lose, you lose. I, Yuan Shao, am open-minded and am not someone who cannot afford to lose. As long as you are willing to spare my life, I will take my wife and children back to my hometown to farm!
Lin Feng smiled.
This was not the result he wanted.
The leader of the Yuan family in Runan has been a scholar for decades. It is said that the centipede insect is dead but not stiff.
When Yuan Shao returns to Runan, he will only lie dormant for a while. As long as the world's storm suddenly rises, he will take advantage of the situation to fly up again and dance at the drop of a hat.
"Brother Benchu is wrong. With his great talents, he retreats to the fields. This is actually the biggest loss for our Han Dynasty and the people."
Yuan Shao waved his hands cautiously. Who knows why Mad Dog Lin suddenly praised others? Don't say anything and just refuse.
"Brother Fengzhi is still feeling uneasy. Even so, what if I go to Pingyuan first to meet with the Emperor Long Live, and have the Long Live Emperor personally transfer my position and help my Emperor Long Live solve my problems in the court hall? Would you be willing?"
Lao Yuan, I won't lie to you. If you are afraid that I will cause harm, I will send you to Pingyuan and you will hold an official position in the newly established court of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. That way you can rest assured, right?
Not to mention, Lin Feng's words really made Yuan Shao feel upset.
Yuan Shao really didn't want to do it because of Runan. There were a lot of young and old in the family, the old ones he couldn't afford to offend, and the young ones fighting behind him, the old ones he couldn't afford to offend. It was really too much of a constraint.
Otherwise, it would not have happened that Yuan Shao went north to develop, Yuan Shu went south to struggle, and neither of the two brightest stars in the Yuan family was willing to plant a flag at their doorstep.
After being defeated in Jizhou and almost unable to recover, Yuan Shao originally thought that there were only two ways waiting for him.
One man died generously and had a big scar on his head, but eighteen years later he was a good man again.
The second one is to return to Runan with his tail between his legs, enduring the nagging of countless well-meaning elders, and under the banner of doing good for him, unwillingly entangled himself with the chain of family ties that he can't get rid of for the rest of his life.
die
, Yuan Shao is not afraid, but he still has a wife and children. If he dies, what will happen to his wife, children, and children at home?
He is ready to accept his destiny, abandon the passion he was filled with before, and become the person that the elders of his clan wanted him to be.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng unexpectedly opened a third path for him.
Instead of surrendering to Lin Feng in humiliation, he accepted the appointment from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and became a formal court official with the imperial seal stamped on the appointment letter.
It seems like there is a way out?
Lin Feng saw Yuan Shao's eyes darting around and knew that he was tempted, so he struck while the iron was hot: "Brother Ben Chu is willing to let his talent die in the wilderness, and his wife and children live in a thatched hut forever?"
At this sumptuous but secret banquet, Yuan Shao didn't drink much wine, and Yuan Shao was knocked unconscious by Lin Feng's drunkenness.
The small court of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in Pingyuan needs people like Yuan Shao. Huangfu Song has already joined the court of Young Emperor Chen Liuhan. It is also very likely that veterans such as Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun will come out again. Seeing that there is a lack of some famous people in Pingyuan. , Yuan Shao meets the conditions very well.
With the addition of Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others, the small court of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gradually became richer.
As long as these people are not given military power, Pingyuan City can be built by these people. As long as the young emperor Chen Liuhan can be driven back, Lin Feng really doesn't care about giving up some of his official positions.
Besides, with Xun Yu at the helm of the plain, there would be no trouble.
After taking care of Yuan Shao, Lin Feng sent Yuan Shao, Gao Gan, and Yuan Tan to Pingyuan the next day, but kept Guo Tu and Shen Pei behind.
These two are rare internal affairs talents. As Lin Feng's territory becomes larger and larger, the demand for internal affairs talents is also increasing.
Putting aside Guo Tu, it is not a bad thing to just use them to help govern the place.
In fact, in history, both of them were loyal to Yuan Shao until the death of the Yuan family.
Now that the two of them have followed Yuan Shao for a short time, Lin Feng has plenty of time to cultivate their loyalty.
After handling these trivial matters, Lin Feng was ready to leave for Zhongshan, where Yan Liang and Gongsun Zan were fighting fiercely.
More than half a month later, Yan Liang's injury finally improved. Lin Feng received the latest battle report. Gongsun Zan had just suffered a big loss at the hands of Yan Liang.
Previously, the Youzhou Army attacked Caoxian County, which was guarded by Yan Liang, and showed off their power.
Chu Yan stationed his troops in Puyin, and Qu Yi stationed himself in Wangdu. The three cities were at opposite angles to each other, firmly blocking the southward route of Gongsun Zan's army.
Qu Yi and Chu Yan were victorious in battles, and no one in the Youzhou Army dared to go out.
However, Yan Liang was injured in Caoxian County and was unable to fight. The two armies fought for more than ten times. Lin's army lost more than he won, which caused the morale of the Youzhou Army outside the city to skyrocket.
When Yan Liang recovered, he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't wait to leave the city to fight.
The Youzhou Army suddenly burst into cheers. Finally, another general of the Lin Army came out of the turtle shell to look for abuse.
.
As a result, Yan Liang's golden-topped Zaoyang Chao killed more than a dozen generals. Finally, Gongsun Zan became furious and took action himself.
The two sides fought for more than ten rounds. In the end, Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yan Liangyisha, who smashed the breastplate on his back and vomited blood.
If Generals Yan Gang and Shan Jing hadn't fought tooth and nail to block Yan Liang, General Baima would have been killed in front of the two armies.
Now it was the turn of the Youzhou Army to lay down their flags and drums, and the Lin Army at the head of Cao County City cheered for joy.
Lin Feng was naturally relieved after receiving the good news from Caoxian County, so he made a special trip to wait for the arrival of Yuan Shao and his party in Wuyuan City.
Now that everything has come to a head, it is time to let Gongsun Zan know that cowhide is not blown, trains are not pushed, and there are many rocks on the top of Mount Tai, but they are not piled up!
For a person like Gongsun Zan, if you don’t beat him until his face is full of peach blossoms, he will never know why the flowers are so red!
After resting for the last night in Wuyuan City, Guo Jia came to Lin Feng's bedroom door early in the morning and was about to knock on the door and invite Lin Feng to come out for breakfast.
The bedroom door suddenly opened, and Lin Feng walked out with red eyes.
"Fengxiao, you just happened to be here. I have something to discuss with you. Come in quickly."
Guo Jia's good mood early in the morning disappeared in an instant.
What can you do with a master like this?
Everything happens as it comes to mind, and the cards never go according to plan.
"Lord, didn't we agree yesterday to set off for Zhongshan today? What else have you been thinking of?"
Now, because of Lin Feng's trust, all intelligence letters, no matter where they come from, are handed over to Guo Jia first, and then Guo Jia picks them up for Lin Feng to read.
Therefore, Guo Jia is very sure that all counties in Lin Feng's territory are stable and no accidents have occurred.
So Lin Feng now looks so angry that he is obviously trying to cause trouble again, and this is what gives Guo Jia the biggest headache.
Even if Guo Jia's intelligence is as high as 98, he can't guess the truth.
Lin Feng felt like his nostrils were filled with fire.
"Fengxiao, I'm not kidding you. I really have something important to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
Guo Jia made up his mind. No matter what Lin Feng said, he would directly fight back. He could not tolerate his master's bad habits!
"Mrs. Gan is in danger in Taishan County. I must go to rescue her as soon as possible. I will leave all the battle in Zhongshan to Fengxiao."
Guo Jia was immediately dumbfounded.
What does it mean?
If you love a beautiful woman, you don’t need to be a king?
Didn’t Mrs. Gan stay well in Yecheng?
Why did he suddenly end up in Taishan County, Yanzhou? That's Cao Ahao's territory, okay?
Guo Jia, who was extremely intelligent, didn't know what to say for a moment, and looked at Lin Feng with dumbfounded eyes, confused!
