Tian Feng's old face showed a hint of relief:

"Stalemate, stalemate. ”

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "What Tian Gong said is extremely true. ”

Tian Feng turned his face sideways, looked at Bai Xiaowen and said, "The second son can also understand what the old man meant?"

Between the tones, there seemed to be a hint of disbelief.

Bai Xiaowen knew that the original Yuan Xi was not highly evaluated in the hearts of these Hebei Wenchen generals.

Yuan Shao doesn't value his second son, which is one of the reasons, and the most important thing is that Yuan Xi's own ability is relatively mediocre.

So if you want to convince Tian Feng, you have to show your extraordinary vision, and you can't be too eager to show off. The ancient Chinese plane is different from ancient Europe, and the cultural background of Lao Zhuang Confucianism is subtle, even if there is some knowledge, excessive flaunting will only make people of insight look down on it.

This is also the reason why many crooked nuts are not mixed well in the ancient Chinese background, and the law of advance and retreat needs to be carefully mastered.

Bai Xiaowen held the gift of his son and nephew, and said respectfully: "Tian Gong's deep meaning, the kid can't know everything, only to say a little shallow opinion in his chest, and hope that Tian Gong will not blame him for the mistakes and omissions." ”

Tian Feng was silent on the surface, but in fact, there was already a trace of turmoil in his heart, Yuan Ergongzi didn't seem to be so respectful to a retainer and strategist like him.

But this wave did not make a splash. Tian Feng has seen a lot of people, and this kind of etiquette is not enough for him to change his mind.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao decided to Jizhou, and he was also humble and rich, and hired him as a different driver, how is it now?

"The second son can try to say. Tian Feng coughed and said.

Bai Xiaowen nodded: "The confrontation between the two armies is not a temporary victory or defeat, we must look at the overall situation." ”

"I have been recuperating for a long time in the four states of Hebei, with sufficient grain and grass, and many soldiers. Cao Cao fought for many years, destroyed Lu Bu and chased Liu Bei, and now he is fighting with our army, and the drawbacks of the shortage of grain and grass can be predicted. However, our army has different orders, is not familiar with the battle formation, and in terms of the degree of elite, it is not as good as the Cao army, which has been fighting for many years. Based on these two points, Cao Cao is fighting quickly, and our army is attrition. The current stalemate in Guandu is obviously in line with the interests of our army. ”

Yuan Shao's army was numerous, but there were fewer elite troops that had experienced the test of war, which was not as good as Cao's army.

If measured by the data of combat effectiveness, Yuan Shao's soldiers may only have an average combat effectiveness of five or six points, while Cao's army has more than eight points.

Converted into the actual number of armies on both sides, Yuan Shao's 300,000 army (actual number) has a combat strength of about 1.5 million, while Cao's army has a combat strength of about 8.9 million.

Of course, the actual fight is not calculated by relying on combat effectiveness on paper. The battle situation changes rapidly, and many factors such as the ability of the commander, the bravery of the generals, and many other factors will affect the victory or defeat.

And when the combat effectiveness is not much different, the elite soldiers can give full play to their advantages - after all, the war is fought one by one, and on the same battlefield, the number of soldiers that can be invested is limited, and it is difficult for Yuan Shao's huge and bloated troops to fully exert their strength.

However, the grain and grass prepared by Yuan Shao were sufficient, and there was no pressure on the army to withdraw it for several months. Cao Cao's military rations can support a month even though it is dangerous - the Cao army in the Romance was about to run out of food when Xu Yu came to vote; the Cao group of the Three Kingdoms of the Spirit Realm was in a similar situation to the Romance, and naturally there were also shortcomings in terms of grain and grass.

Tian Feng listened, nodded and said: "What the second prince said is right, the Cao army has won successive battles, and the soldiers are in full swing. It was for this reason that I had strongly advised the lord not to fight a decisive battle with Cao's army, but to adopt the strategy of slowly advancing and exerting pressure. If the lord can use my words, Cao Cao will be exhausted in less than three years, and our army will win without a fight. ”

After a pause, Tian Feng stood up and continued: "But now that Guandu is deadlocked, it is secretly in line with my advice. If this situation continues, it will not take a few months for Cao Cao to withdraw his troops and give up the gateway to Henan! At that time, our army's troops will be pointed directly at the important places such as Qian and Xu, like a sharp blade against Cao Cao's heart, and he will not be able to sleep day and night, and An Neng will not be defeated? This is the general trend of the world. The old decay is here, congratulations to the Lord from afar!"

Tian Feng bowed in the direction of the Guandu camp and saluted.

Bai Xiaowen secretly sighed at the loyalty of this old planner, and there was no frustration on his face that he was dethroned. Such a loyal talent, but he was convicted for his words, and Yuan Shao's weakness in employing people can be seen.

"Tian Gong's words are yes. Bai Xiaowen agreed, and wished Yuan Shao early success with Tian Feng.

After the ceremony, Tian Feng brushed his beard and said: "The son is here, and there must be something important. I don't know what is there to find me, the guilty one?"

Unconsciously, Tian Feng's perception of "Yuan Xi" has changed: [I didn't find out before that the second son had such a vision. It's a pity that he is not the eldest son......]

Tian Feng's thoughts flashed, and there was not the slightest expression on his face.

Here comes the point.

Bai Xiaowen said solemnly: "The kid is here, also because of business, I implore Tian Gong to help!" said and bowed to the ground.

Tian Feng just sat down and hurriedly stood up: "Don't dare to be a great gift to the son." Please also ask the son to make it clear that if it is a matter of old decay, he will not shirk. ”

Bai Xiaowen sighed secretly, what I asked for is not your business.

"Now that the officials are crossing the army, the stalemate between the two is indeed beneficial to our army. However, with Cao Cao's deceit and the wisdom of his strategists such as Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai, how could they be willing to sit back and wait to be killed? ”

In the romance, Xi Zhi died early, but in the Three Kingdoms of the Spirit Realm, he is still alive and well, which is not good news.

Tian Feng frowned and fell silent, walked around the cell twice and said:

"The old man has heard the name of Yingchuan talent. Since I can see this kind of general trend, I must be able to perceive Xun Yu and his ilk. ”

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "Yes, in the opinion of the kid, Cao Jun will definitely not be willing to settle for a frontal stalemate, and will definitely come up with a surprise plan to win." And there's another point that's hard to talk about. ”

Tian Fengqi said: "What is unspeakable?"

Bai Xiaowen took a breath and said: "My father did not adopt Tian Gong's advice on protracted war and war of attrition, but thought that he would finish his work in one battle, and the strategists who followed him, such as Guo Tu Fengji and others, were all like this. Now the stalemate in Guandu is only in line with Tian Gong's advice, not his father's intention. ”

Looking at Tian Feng's frowning brows, Bai Xiaowen continued: "In my father's heart, I'm afraid he is also like Cao Cao, and he wants to solve it quickly. If his father holds this mentality, he will inevitably be taken advantage of by Cao Jun. ”

Tian Feng said: "If you have a frustration with the army, you will definitely advise the lord." ”

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Tian Gong's understanding of his father should be clearer than that of a boy. Frustration is rigid, not as good as Feng Ji Guotu and others are good at figuring out the intentions and flattery, if they are bent on admonishing, it is inevitable to repeat the mistakes of Tian Gong. ”

Tian Feng looked at Bai Xiaowen and stopped talking.
