At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 170 tit for tat
It is not uncommon to support a new emperor, occupy righteousness, contend against Dong Zhuo, and order the princes.

In fact, Yuan Shao had planned to do this, planning to unite with Han Fu and others to make Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, the emperor.

However, both Cao Cao and Yuan Shu strongly opposed it, and even Liu Yu himself refused to comply.

Yuan Shao had no choice but to give up this idea.

Unexpectedly, just after Yuan Shao established the new emperor, Yuan Shu planned to join forces with Zhou Qi to elect King Chen Liu as emperor.

Tian Feng was frowning and thinking, but saw that Zhou Qi had finished dressing and came out.

"Tian Feng pays his respects to General Cheqi."

Tian Feng didn't dare to neglect, and hurried forward to salute.

Zhou Qi, however, took Tian Feng's hand and said, "As far as I'm concerned, sir, you are the messenger of Benchu. How can we be so different from each other, brothers?"

"Privately speaking, I have admired Mr. for a long time. It is a great blessing in my life to see you today, and I dare not accept Mr.'s gift."

The so-called gentleman talks about his deeds regardless of his heart.

Although Tian Feng knew that the cavalry general's move was suspected of being a show, the other party's polite and kind attitude still made people feel like spring breeze after all.

The two chatted for a while, but Zhou Qi was the first to start the topic and asked: "Brother Benchu ​​is busy with the war in the north. If there is no urgent matter, he will not send you to Yangzhou."

"Sir, if you have something to do, you might as well say it directly. Based on the friendship between me and Brother Benchu, I will not stand idly by as long as I can."

Tian Feng didn't continue to make detours, and said straightforwardly: "Yuan Gonglu sent Sun Wentai to attack Jingzhou, and Liu Jingsheng sent envoys to Jizhou to ask for help."

"My lord originally wanted to send troops to help, but Gongsun Zan was unethical and led his troops to attack Jizhou, which made my lord temporarily unable to escape."

"General Hussars ordered me to come here in the hope that the envoy can lead troops to attack Yuan Shu, so as to relieve Jingzhou's danger."

Tian Feng played a trick here.

Yuan Shao originally wanted Zhou Qi to rescue Jingzhou, lest Jingzhou be annexed by Yuan Shu.

Tian Feng was good at making direct decisions and wanted Zhou Qi to lead troops to attack Yuan Shu.

Although both can achieve the same purpose, their nature is slightly different.

The former two sides are fighting in the guest army of Jingzhou, as long as the fighting is not fierce, there may not be an insoluble enmity.

In fact, Zhou Qi could lead his troops to forcibly mediate between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao and order them to stop fighting and make a truce.

If Zhou Qi led the troops to invade Yuan Shu's jurisdiction, the opponent would feel a deep crisis, and the two sides would most likely form a deadly feud.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the alliance between the two southern princes.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qi, who had just swearing and swearing by his chest, had a look of embarrassment on his face after hearing Tian Feng's words.

He hesitated for a long time, and then said: "At a young age, the Yuan family was kind to me. Although there are many brothers who rely on me here, I can be regarded as a disciple of the Yuan family and an old official."

"Yuan Jiujiu, as the legitimate son of the Yuan family, has raised troops in Runan. How can I be a treacherous villain and lead troops to attack him?"

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "Your words are wrong."

"In terms of origin, General Hussar also comes from the Yuan family in Runan, and he is the eldest son. His status is not inferior to that of Yuan Gongdao."

"In terms of fame, my lord is famous all over the world, praised at home, and heroes from all over the world have come to join us. Is it beyond the reach of a dandy like Yuan Gongdao?"

"As far as the Duke is concerned, if the Yuan family in Runan falls into the hands of Yuan Jiujiu, the reputation of the Fourth and Third Duke will be ruined sooner or later."

"On the other hand, my lord is a man of great talent and strategy, wise and powerful, generous and ambitious, and thirsty for talents. If he can inherit the Yuan family's foundation, he will surely shine on his family."

"Since the general is a former official of the Yuan family, how can he sit back and watch the Yuan family's reputation for many generations be destroyed by the hands of dudes?"

"Personally, the general and my lord have a very close friendship, and they formed a deep friendship at an early age."

"On the other hand, Yuan Shu thinks that he has an extraordinary family background and looks at no one in his eyes. How has he ever looked at the general directly?"

"Besides, Liu Jingsheng is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Gonglu attacked him for no reason. Where will the court's laws be placed, and where will the Han Dynasty's majesty be placed?"

"The emperor was appointed as a general of chariots and cavalry by the late emperor. He has the responsibility to fight against rebellion. It is reasonable to raise troops to attack Yuan Shu."

"I heard that the general is loyal, filial, courageous and trustworthy, so I must have been thinking about how to choose."

Having said this, Tian Feng looked at Zhou Qi's face and saw that the other party had no expression at all. He couldn't help but secretly praise Zhou Qi for his skill in cultivating Qi.

Zhou Qi heard the words, but remained silent.

He didn't expect that Tian Feng, who is known for his uprightness, would be so talkative, driving Zhou Qi to the edge of a cliff with a few words.

According to what Tian Feng said, if Zhou Qi did not agree to attack Yuan Shu today, it would be disloyal, unkind, and unjust.

Seeing Tian Feng's aggressive attitude, Zhou Qi had not yet answered, but Zhang Yun, his uncle standing next to him, said: "Sir, what you said is wrong."

"In any case, Yuan Gonglu is after all the direct line of the Yuan family in Runan, and has the support of the Yuan family."

"General Cheqi received Yuan's kindness, if he rashly led troops to attack him, wouldn't it be an injustice for the general?"

"And in today's world, Dong Zhuo is in chaos, and the princes are rising together. The so-called clans of the Han family are just relying on their status and ceding the land to stand on their own."

"Although the later general acted like Meng Lang when he was young, he is quite different now that he is older. He has the ambition of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, serving the court, and revitalizing the Han Dynasty."

"The latter general wants to invite my lord to co-appoint King Chenliu as the emperor, based on the long-standing reputation of the Yuan family in Runan, the abundance of food and grass in the land of Huaisi, the population of Henan and Jingzhou, and the bravery of the chariot and cavalry generals."

"The two follow the late emperor's edict, respecting the emperor to dissuade his ministers, and within a few years, they can clear up the troubled times, wipe out treacherous criminals, and return the great man to a bright and bright world."

"My lord is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has all the common people in his heart, and cannot bear the robbing of the people."

"Compared with the righteousness of the world, what is personal friendship?"

"In my opinion, if General Hussars has the world in mind, why not shake hands with the general later and discuss with my lord the matter of supporting the young emperor, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Hearing Zhang Yun's remarks, Tian Feng's face was a little dignified, then he turned his head to look at Zhou Qi, and asked, "Maybe what Zhang Zhubo said represents the envoy?"

Zhou Qi pondered for a while, and said: "Brother, what you said is quite reasonable. If you can really revive the Han Dynasty, save lives from the fire and water, and jointly establish King Chenliu as the new emperor with Yuan Gonglu, you will be worthy of both the people of the world and the previous emperor. My love, why not?"

Tian Feng calmed down his mind, and then said: "The general has the ambition to help the country, but the entrustment is not human."

Zhou Qi pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by that, sir?"

Tian Feng said: "The previous campaign against Dong Zhuo failed after repeated battles. My lord wants to unite the princes of Guandong and jointly elect Liu Youzhou as emperor."

"Liu Youzhou is a clan member of the Han family, and he is also a honest elder with a reputation far beyond the Great Wall."

"The reason for the decline of the Han Dynasty is also related to the death of the first emperor, the succession of the young emperor, and the difficulty of controlling the officials. If Liu Youzhou can be the emperor, he will have soldiers, generals, land, and the reputation of benevolence, and he will win the people. Support, only then can it be possible to bring peace to the troubled times and save the lives of the common people.”

"However, Yuan Gongdao knew that the world was in chaos, so he feared that he might have different ambitions and was unwilling to accept an older man as emperor."

"If the general conspires with him to support the country, wouldn't he be entrusted to someone other than a human being?"

It has to be said that Tian Feng's remarks are not without reason. Yuan Shaocai may have wanted to be a good minister at first, so he planned to elect Liu Yu as emperor.

You know, the older and famous Liu Yu is not as easy to control as the late emperor's youngest son.

If Liu Yu is really allowed to ascend the throne, it will inevitably attract a large number of people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty to join him, and there is no possibility of revitalizing the Han Dynasty.

At this time, if Yuan Shao really had a different heart, he would definitely not choose Liu Yu, but would choose a young Han family child, or the kind of mediocre talent who has no reputation.

"I heard that Tian Yuanhao is a well-known scholar in Jizhou. Looking at him today, he just turned black and white, and he has a false reputation."

At this moment, a voice sounded from the door, Zhou Qi looked up, but saw Yan Xiang striding towards him.

"How can the Lord of Hell leave and come back again?"

Zhou Qi asked pretending to be puzzled.

Yan Xiang bowed deeply to Zhou Qi, and then said: "I am the envoy of the general, how dare I leave without my envoy's promise?"

Zhang Yun deliberately reprimanded: "Tian Yuanhao is a famous scholar in Jizhou, why did Yan Zhubo slander him?"

Yan Xiang laughed unceasingly, and then said loudly: "Yuan Benchu ​​wanted to make Liu Yu emperor in the past, but the later general didn't reply like this."

Zhang Yundao: "Please speak in detail."

Yan Xiang said loudly: "The later general once said: The Holy Lord is wise and wise, and has the quality of Zhou Cheng. The thief Dong Zhuo took advantage of the crisis and chaos to subdue all the officials. This is a small disaster for the Han family."

"The chaos in the world can still be suppressed, but the general later wants to revive it."

"On the other hand, Yuan Benchu, in order to support the new emperor, actually spread rumors without authorization, claiming that the current sage is not the blood of the previous emperor."

Having said that, Yan Xiang sneered again and again.

When Zhou Qi heard this, he immediately became furious and shouted: "This statement not only insults the Holy One, but also insults the name of the late emperor. Did it really come from Yuan Benchu's mouth?"

Yan Xiang said: "With letters as evidence, how can there be falsehood?"

Zhou Qi turned to look at Tian Feng, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know about this, sir?"

Facing Zhou Qi's aggressive questioning, Tian Feng remained calm and smiled casually.

He didn't bother to argue at all, instead he looked at Yan Xiang and said, "Go ahead."

It has to be said that Tian Feng's move of retreating into advance and deliberately ignoring this matter is absolutely brilliant.

Yan Xiang looked at the angry Zhou Qi, and felt that he had the chance to win, and continued to talk eloquently: "Since the Yuan family in Runan has been passed down from generation to generation, loyalty comes first."

"The Tai Tuo is kind and sympathetic. Although he knows that the thief will be a disaster, he will be faithful and righteous, and he can't bear to go. The family is extinct, and the death is everywhere. Fortunately, people from far and near come to help. Don't go to the country at this time. And trying to support a new emperor has never been heard of since ancient times.”

"My lord once said: The king's destiny is the sky, and the sky cannot be ruled, and it is not the king's destiny! He is loyal and loyal, and he is determined to destroy Zhuo, and he does not know anything else."

Yan Xiang's words were sonorous and powerful.

He looked at Tian Feng closely, and said loudly: "When he was begging for Dong, Yuan Benchu ​​was in vain as the leader of the alliance, and he had his own concerns with the princes. Although there are many soldiers and horses, they can't make meritorious deeds."

"On the other hand, my lord, his subordinate Sun Wentai defeated Hu Zhen, beheaded Hua Xiong, defeated Dong Zhuo, and retreated Lu Bu, forcing Dong's thieves to flee to Chang'an."

Having said that, Yan Xiang's tone became agitated.

"Although there are many princes, they are not as good as my lord's general, isn't it ridiculous?"

Tian Feng heard Yan Xiang's impassioned statement, but he said without haste: "This is all the work of Sun Wentai, what has it to do with Yuan Gonglu?"

Yan Xiang said: "Sun Wen is a subordinate of my lord. If my lord hadn't allocated food and fodder and formulated strategies, how could Sun Wentai have accomplished anything?"

Tian Feng laughed and said, "That's right, if Yuan Gonggong hadn't been jealous of the virtuous and capable, and didn't allocate food and grass to Sun Wentai, perhaps Dong Zhuo would have been killed by the sword."

"These people who are ignorant of military affairs, ignorant of righteousness, and narrow-minded, but who instead take the credit of their subordinates as their own, how can they have the dignity to be compared with my lord?"

"That Sun Wentai also harbored evil intentions. He wanted to secretly hide the national jade seal in order to rebel?"

"In my opinion, Yuan Gonglu is just a raccoon dog who hijacks his subordinates' wives and children to seize the imperial jade seal. His morals are so low, does the chariot general dare to form an alliance with him?"

Previously, Yan Xiang made impassioned speeches, each of which hit Yuan Shao's vital points. Zhou Qi originally thought that Tian Feng might be speechless.

Unexpectedly, Tian Feng avoided his vigor, deliberately weakened Yuan Shao's flaws, and then chased Yuan Shu fiercely, almost killing him with one blow.

No matter which era, the word "loyalty" is emphasized. Tian Feng mentioned the black material about Yuan Shu, and directly rubbed the other party on the ground.

He was also admonishing Zhou Qi to keep his eyes open before forming an alliance. Yuan Shu didn't even trust his own subordinates, and could do things like hijack his subordinates' family members and snatch the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. If he formed an alliance with such a person, he would end badly One can imagine.

Yan Xiang's face was ugly at this time, but he couldn't speak out to refute.

Tian Feng took advantage of the victory and pursued, directly ignoring Yan Xiang who was standing beside him with fire-breathing eyes, and continued to say to Zhou Qi: "Yuan Gonglu has the ambition to help the community, and it may be the biggest joke this year."

"I have something to say, general, just listen."

"Yuan Jiujiu is ambitious. With Huaisi's wealth, he can have tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, gain the reputation of the Yuan family, and guard Sun Jian's fierce generals."

"The territory under its jurisdiction is intertwined with the general's Yangzhou and Jiangxia. If you sit back and watch him conquer Xiangyang, you can also get the money, food and soldiers from Jingzhou. General, you might as well guess who Yuan Gongluo will target next?"

"As the saying goes: One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers."

"The general is a hero of the world, and the tiger is in Yangzhou; Yuan Shu is ambitious and wants to dominate the world, so he must go south, and the general will bear the brunt."

"If you don't join forces with Jingzhou to attack it when its wings are still fledgling, it will be too late to regret it in the future."

Here, Tian Feng has already used his nirvana, tearing off the last fig leaf in front of Yuan Shu's emissary, Yan Xiang.

It has to be said that he can really grasp people's hearts.

Although Tian Feng is not sure whether Zhou Qi is really loyal to the Han Dynasty, but now that the situation in the world has reached such a point, it is impossible for Zhou Qi to be unambitious with a large army in his hands.

People, as long as there is ambition, there will be flaws.

Although he doesn't have much contact with Zhou Qi, he can feel that the other party is not very human, and he will never sit back and watch Yuan Shu grow bigger.

So even if Yan Xiang himself is here, Tian Feng dares to say these words.

This is definitely a conspiracy. As long as the words are made clear today, both Zhou Qi and Yuan Shu will weigh it in their hearts after hearing it.

Even if the two of them had not thought of this before, they would definitely be wary of it.

as predicted.

Zhou Qi frowned, and then said: "I have not long since returned to the residence, and I am tired, both of you, please step back first. I will reply after I have a rest."

Yan Xiang wanted to say something more, but seeing Zhou Qi's attitude, he finally closed his mouth.

However, when he turned his head and glanced at Tian Feng from the corner of his eyes, there was a bit of sternness.

　About the update, here is an explanation.

　　In fact, at the end of the previous chapter, I already mentioned doing the surgery myself.

　　Although it is a small operation, it is very debilitating.

　　On the first day, I was able to survive the anesthesia, felt no pain, and was ready to go home.As a result, as soon as I walked to the door of the hospital, I had difficulty breathing, felt dizzy, and almost fainted. I felt as if I was going to die in the next second.

　　The most important thing is that the position is very painful, especially after going to the toilet, it is almost painful.

　　I had surgery on my leg for more than five hours before, and it only hurt for one day. This small surgery hurts for so long.

　　For the first three nights, I couldn’t sleep because of the pain, and I could only rely on painkillers to support me. However, the side effects of painkillers were too severe, so I didn’t dare to take more. I could only take two pills a day.

　　Whether I'm sleeping or typing on my phone now, I can only do it after the painkillers take effect.

　　This stuff makes me dizzy and sleepy when I eat it. I tried my best to finish writing a chapter, but I was already dying of sleepiness.

　　I haven't stopped updating until today, it's just that it's late. I hope everyone will understand.
