Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1568 Xuan Yanzan

  Guandu.

  Yuan Jun's big camp, the Chinese army's big tent.

  The cyan curtain hangs in the big tent, which looks extraordinarily solemn and solemn.

  But the two people in the big tent were arguing fiercely in front of Yuan Shao, and they couldn't leave each other.

   "My lord! March immediately!" Tian Feng's voice was so loud that it covered the howling of the north wind.

   Tian Feng saw that the heavy snow was slowing down, so he immediately found Yuan Shao, and suggested that Yuan Shao send troops immediately, continue to put pressure on Cao Cao, and not give Cao Cao any chance to breathe.

   "As the saying goes, if you work hard, you will be exhausted twice, and now our army is in full swing, and the Cao thief will definitely not be able to stop it!" Tian Feng waved his hands, spewing out mixed with white smoke.

  Yuan Shao frowned and remained silent.

  Guo Tu was on the side, saw Yuan Shao's expression, and immediately guessed that Yuan Shao was not very willing. Although he didn't think why Yuan Shao didn't want to listen to Tian Feng, he might as well take this opportunity to add some trouble to Tian Feng.

"Brother Yuan Hao! This statement is wrong!" Guo Tu said from the side, "You know that if you go forward again, firstly, it will be difficult to provide food, and secondly, the lonely army will go deep. It's too late..."

"You can eat in Yanyu!" Tian Feng stared at Guo Tu and said angrily, "Just march to take Dongjun, east can go to Xu, south can go to Henan, west can take Luo, and Cao's army will definitely disperse! Take care! My lord is sure to win soon! We can expect the Emperor!"

  Yanzhou, to be honest, there is not much left, but there is no rich place in Yanzhou, and there are still some good places in Yuzhou, such as Yingchuan...

   "The lone army goes deep! There is no food and grass! How can we expect a big victory?" Guo Tu didn't show any weakness, wasn't he just talking about it, I can still be afraid of you, a bad old man? "Brother Yuan Hao is proficient in military art, but he is less than a battle formation. It is understandable. However, he deceived the lord because of this, and put the army's safety at risk. If it is a crime, I am afraid it will be... hehe..."

"Guo Gongze!" Tian Feng paused heavily on his walking stick, as if he was going to swing it on Guo Tu's head in the next moment, "Don't think that this old man doesn't understand your ghost stomach! You have repeatedly blocked the lord and eaten Yanyu, just wanting to protect him Ru Yingchuan is not lost! You are greedy for your homeland, disregarding your great cause, and your crime is unforgivable!"

"Tian Yuanhao!" Guo Tu's face was like the bottom of a pot, and he didn't give in at all, "You deliberately instigated the lord to plunder Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and it was not for your conspiracy of Jizhou! Don't forget, Nanyang is the hometown of the emperor! You say this! Do you want to make the lord fall into a situation of infidelity and injustice!"

Tian Feng's eyes moved for a moment, and he stopped talking to Guo Tu immediately, turned to Yuan Shao and said, "This is the master's plan, so there is such a plan! What's more, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are the land of Cao's bandits. Why not? If you obstruct me again and again, it’s only out of selfish desire! Master Mingjian!" Although Guo Tu saw his intentions, Tian Feng still refused to admit it, and pretended that I was thinking about the master Yuan Shao and had no selfish intentions at all. .

"The land of Yuying is the foundation of the emperor. My lord, don't listen to the slander, destroy the foundation stone yourself, and be laughed at by the people of the world..." Guo Tu also immediately said to Yuan Shao, "If the lord wants to enter Dongjun again, you can Order Jizhou to gather more food and grass! If the food and grass are all available, there will be no further questions!" Guo Tu also immediately stabbed Tian Feng's weakness.

"Bastard! Jizhou has been snowing heavily, and it is already bitterly cold, how can we adjust the grain and grass again!" Hearing Guo Tu's words, Tian Feng couldn't help standing up, slamming his crutches heavily, pointing at Guo Tu and cursing, "Ru Fang For a villain! Ru Ce is a slander! If we redistribute the grain and grass in Jizhou, there will be a lot of complaints in the local area. If it is unstable, it will be a waste of all previous efforts!"

   "For the great cause of the lord, do you have any complaints?" Guo Tu sneered, "Could it be that the grain and grass in Jizhou are precious, and the people in Dixiang are worthless? Tian Yuanhao, you can even say such rebellious words!"

  Yuan Shao rubbed his head, and felt his brain buzzing, extremely bored.

Tian Feng was still spraying something with Guo Tu, and Yuan Shao couldn't hear it clearly when he got to the back. He only saw two people spraying droplets from their noses, and the white smoke from their breathing rose slowly, and then disappeared into the tent. At first...

   "My lord! My lord!"

   "Return the lord, please decide!"

  Yuan Shao frowned, glanced at Tian Feng, and said, "Yuan Hao, Jizhou Grass..."

   "Of course there will be no more recruitment!" Tian Feng said decisively, "Over the years, I have been recruited six times! Six times! My lord! The warehouse is empty! My lord! There will be chaos in the transfer!"

  Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Guo Tu, and said, "Gongze, if you eat in Yanyu..."

   "My lord! Nanyang is the hometown of an emperor!" Guo Tu said impassionedly, "If we use looting to enlist the army, we will be no different from the Yellow Turban bandits! My lord, this strategy must not be adopted, it will cut off our great future!"

   "Well..." Yuan Shao nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Gu knows, you two step back for now, and let Gu think about it..."

Tian Feng was about to say anything more, but he saw that Guo Tu had already bid farewell, opened his mouth, and finally he could only let out a long sigh. Leaning on a walking stick, he limped out of the big tent. Before he had taken two steps, he met his hands. Guo Tu hugging his chest.

   "Guo Gongze!" Tian Feng said unceremoniously, "You have too much selfish desire! You will eventually harm the master!"

Guo Tu sneered twice, and shook his long beard twice, which seemed to show a kind of disdain, "Hmph, Tian Yuanhao, don't think that everyone in the world can plan! You count the land of Yingchuan, it's clear If the army eats food, it will really damage the reputation of the lord! You are the generation who harmed the lord!"

  Tian Feng said angrily: "Ignorant child! He is good at provoking!"

   "Hmph... Do you think the lord can't see through your strategy? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous..."

  Guo Tu didn't continue arguing with Tian Feng, but flung his sleeves and sneered away, leaving Tian Feng with a gloomy face, then glanced at the Chinese military tent, pondered for a moment, flicked his sleeves, and walked in another direction...

  It's cold when it snows, but even colder when it's over.

  Yuan Shang was wrapped in a fur, holding a bowl of hot soup, still feeling a bit cold.

   "Is it better?" Yuan Shao opened the curtain of the big tent, walked in, and asked with concern.

   "Report to my lord father," Yuan Shang hurriedly got up, but was held down by Yuan Shao, "Yes, it's better..."

"Well, drink more **** soup, take a good rest later, don't blow the wind anymore..." Yuan Shao said with a smile, then looked around, looked at the fire plate, and pulled the charcoal fire, "What's wrong with your body? A comfortable place?"

   "It's just a little dizzy..." Yuan Shang said, "Others, it's nothing..."

  Yuan Shao nodded, and said: "Then rest for two more days... The snow is falling fast, and if you don't pay attention, you will catch cold. This, you have to be careful in the future..."

   "But...Father, didn't you hear that you are going to enter the army?" Yuan Shang asked.

   "Huh?" Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and said, "Who did you listen to?"

  Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Shao's face, hesitated a bit, but continued: "I listened to the soldiers in the battalion talking... Isn't it what my father meant?"

  Yuan Shao still smiled, "...Then do you think I should march, or should I not?"

   "This..." Yuan Shang didn't dare to say it.

  Yuan Shao looked at this son who looked so much like his own when he was young, he couldn't help laughing, and patted Yuan Shang on the shoulder, "Say, it's okay, speak boldly!"

  Yuan Shang hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head and said, "I don't know..."

   "Oh, you!" Yuan Shao pointed at Yuan Shang and encouraged him, "You don't need to be so cautious in front of your father, just say what you have to say!"

   "...Then I'll speak up boldly?" Yuan Shang said tentatively.

  Yuan Shao smiled slightly and nodded.

"Do I think...shouldn't be marching at this time..." Yuan Shang said while staring at Yuan Shao's expression, "It's freezing cold today, it's inconvenient for vehicles and horses, and it's hard to supply food and supplies. Marching, how powerful are the soldiers? So it's better to wait for the weather to improve before making a decision..."

   "Well..." Yuan Shao nodded, "But someone suggested that Yanzhou and Yuzhou could be looted, so I'll add on the spot... What do you think?"

   "Looting places?" Yuan Shang frowned, "Whose idea?"

  Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this for now, let's talk about this strategy first, what do you think?"

  Yuan Shang thought for a while, and said: "Isn't it like bandits to rob a place? How can it be used if it is so contrary to benevolence and justice?"

  Yuan Shao laughed loudly, clapped his hands, and said, "Oh! My son really has a kind heart! Hahaha... But, this matter, it can't be said that it's completely wrong..."

"...benevolence and righteousness... It's not that I don't want it, it's that you and I should consider it first..." Yuan Shao lowered his voice and explained to Yuan Shang, "It's not for righteousness, but for war...This, my son understands ?”

The first battle for supremacy in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period broke out between Jin and Chu. At that time, the proud and conceited Chu Shuai Cheng Dechen led the allied forces of Chu, Zheng, Xu, Chen, and Cai to the north like a storm, regardless of the opposition of the King of Chu. Looking for the decisive battle of the main force of the coalition forces of Jin, Qi, Qin, and Song, the two sides set up a battle near Taoqiu, the capital of Cao, and the war is about to break out.

It can be said that this battle was an advanced and large-scale confrontation in history between the south and the north. The countries involved in the war had a total of at least nine armies, with more than 200,000 troops and more than two chariots. Qiancheng. The previous wars, such as Shang Tang's extermination of Xia, King Wu's defeat of Zhou, and King Xuan's defeat of barbarians, had at most tens of thousands of people. But this time, almost all the vassal states above the middle level in the entire land of China participated in the war!

   The ownership of the world hegemony is here to fight!

  However, seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the allied forces of Jin, Qi, Qin, and Song suddenly retreated unexpectedly, and the retreat was a full ninety miles.

   This retreat is the famous "retreat" in Chinese history.

  Yuan Shang suddenly said: "My lord's intention is not to enter the army at the moment, but to retreat for a long time, to show tolerance and benevolence? And it can also reduce the consumption of our army, wait for work at ease, and then detect the loopholes of Cao's bandits and break them in one fell swoop?!"

"Haha, my son is really smart!" Yuan Shao nodded with a smile and said, "However, besides that, you have to know whether your subordinates have given you some ideas and strategies, whether they are beneficial to you or not. Own…"

  Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shang lovingly, as if looking at his young self. When Yuan Shao was young, he suffered all the grievances and bullying from his family, and he even had to pretend to be a fool to avoid the plots of disasters. He was miserable, but now facing his own children, he naturally hoped that he could not get The love can be given to children, especially Yuan Shang who looks like himself in the same mold.

"Your elder brother has been in the army all year round. He has always been famous and is loved by the children of Jizhou. This is not a bad thing, but the problem is that your elder brother is too impatient and doesn't like to use his brain when things happen. He is worried that he will be killed by the Jizhou guys. , Playing between the palms of your hands without knowing it, you have failed the painstaking efforts of the solitary..." Yuan Shao raised his head slightly, "What about your second brother, he knows a lot from the scriptures, to put it nicely, it is called full of knowledge , It’s not nice to say it, but it’s just a stomach... Sigh, sometimes I care too much about some benevolence and justice every day... In the current situation, it’s not okay to not be benevolent, but it’s not okay to be too benevolent!”

   "How about you, you are better than your elder brother and second brother, but your weakness is also very obvious..." Yuan Shao turned to look at Yuan Shang, and said, "Do you know it yourself?"

   "Baby... age..." Yuan Shang lowered his head and said softly.

"Yes!" Yuan Shao patted the palm of his hand lightly, nodded and said, "You are too young, and you don't have any achievements to win... If it was the last time... This is why Gu brought you here together. The battle is victorious, of course... Do you understand how much effort you have put in?"

  Yuan Shang quickly got up and bowed down on the ground, "Father is very loving, the child is crying, and I feel deeply..."

"Get up, your body is not completely healed yet... The ground is very cold..." Yuan Shao asked Yuan Shang to help him up, and then continued, "The idea of ​​continuing to march is Tian Yuanhao's idea...his meaning, apart from those you know , I still want to preserve Jizhou and reduce the strength of Yuzhou... If you really want to plunder Yanzhou and Yuzhou, the strength of the Chinese army alone is not enough, and your elder brother must be invaded on the flanks. In this way, your elder brother's merits will also be natural Quite a lot... Another point is that if my Yuan family hates Yuzhou and breaks the foundation of Nanyang, it will become a tree without roots. If your majesty... will have a reason to deal with you and me..."

  Yuan Shang became more and more annoyed as he listened, and stood up abruptly, "This old thief! Wait for the child to go..."

   "What are you going to do? Sit down!" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice, "He is a counselor! Counselors have always been like this! It is like a long sword in your hand. If you can't defend it, you will hurt yourself! If you can use it, you can defeat the enemy!"

  Yuan Shang froze for a moment, nodded and said, "Your child is taught..."

  Yuan Shao nodded, but said again: "But this old man is getting more and more arrogant, he should find an opportunity to settle the score..."

  Yuan Shang: "..."

"Forget it, we still have to use him now..." Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Guo Gong is against entering the army. What he talks about is benevolence and righteousness, the art of war, well-organized and reasonable, but in fact he is still reluctant to part with his own Yingchuan foundation... and I am afraid that after Yuzhou is ruined, the others will lose to the disciples of Jizhou, and it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the imperial court... so, do you understand?"

  Yuan Shang stared wide-eyed, looking at Yuan Shao with great admiration, "Father is far-sighted, my child admires it!"

"Well, listen more, learn more... Listen to his words, observe his intentions, watch his actions..." Yuan Shao pointed to his head, "Here, that's the most important thing... Okay, let's take a good rest, let's go alone... Well, don't send it away..."

  Yuan Shao ordered Yuan Shao's guards to get some more silver charcoal to keep the temperature in Yuan Shang's tent, and then slowly returned to his big tent with his hands behind his back.

  The snow melted, and there was a mess everywhere.

  Yuan Shao walked slowly, with a serious expression.

  Actually, when he explained to Yuan Shang just now, Yuan Shao didn’t say anything...

   Zhengxi is on the side!

  If it is true that both sides will suffer from a fight with Cao Cao, how can they resist the tiger and wolf cavalry of Zhengxi?

  This Zhengxi...

  Yuan Shao looked up at his blue big scorpion, watching its tail fluttering in the wind, and he was full of thoughts for a while...
