The turmoil of the families is only a dark tide, and it is not intense. Because they were powerless to resist Yuan Shu at all, and they had no way to deal with it, so although many families hated Tian Feng and Yuan Shu to the core, they didn't show any resistance on the surface, and they were extremely obedient. One by one, they all brought large gifts to the Great Chu Mansion Treasury and Tian's house. During this time, Tian Feng was very happy, and the civil and military forces under Yuan Shu took the precious classics presented by these families every day in their free time, setting off a wave of learning.

Human ability, talent is only one aspect, and acquired learning is also crucial. Guo Jia and Jia Xu are all extremely talented, and they have a lot of learning, so they can still become today's top strategists. But if they had received a systematic and perfect education like Xun Yu at the beginning, maybe they would have gone further. Why is there a lot of talent in the Maison? From the original Xun's Eight Dragons to the current Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Xun Chen, and Xun Yue, it is because of the profound heritage and good education.

The classics sent by the families are all treasured by them, and the most important ones are also books of the level of more than three princes. It is a lot of benefits for strategists of the level of Jia Xu and Tian Feng, not to mention other strategists.

The same is true for military generals, there are several versions of Sun Tzu's detailed explanation of the Art of War, all of which are annotations of Sun Tzu's Art of War by famous generals of the past dynasties. Sun Jian's eyes were red when he saw it, and he clung to it and refused to let go. He has always regarded himself as the descendant of his grandson, how can he not pay attention to these books? immediately begged Yuan Shu to let him copy a copy, and promised that he would never pass it on as a family study.

Yuan Shu directly agreed nonchalantly. Just kidding, this thing will be unified in the world in a few years, and he plans to popularize it, is there any difference between what is passed on and what is not spread?

I have to say that these predecessors are indeed extremely precious, and the results produced by Yuan Shu after being circulated by his subordinates greatly surprised Yuan Shu. In other words, Yuan Shu didn't realize the seriousness of the inheritance break in this era at all, so Wenchen didn't mention it, and the progress of the generals made Yuan Shu dumbfounded.

There are too many books on military affairs and politics that are scarce. Because famous generals don't necessarily write, and there are many who die early, and there are only a few who remain. Most of the generals under Yuan Shu's command were born with mud legs, and they started with a volume or half of a military book, and they accumulated experience in leading troops through continuous fighting.

Just like Gan Ning and Cai Mao, the gap in talent is incomparably large, but it is like a gap when it comes to fighting. In the past, Yuan Shu didn't have many military books in his hands, and it was difficult to force Zhou Yu and Cai Mao to call out the teachers and family studies, so they could only try to let them teach. But the disciples of the church starved to death of the master, who is willing to help? Even if he is open-minded like Zhou Yu, he will hide a few hands, and Cai Mao will not reveal it at all, this is human nature, and Yuan Shu is not good at saying anything.

But now that he finally has inventory in his hands, Yuan Shu naturally spreads everywhere, and generals such as Zhang Liao and Wei Yan rush to borrow books and constantly supplement their shortcomings. There are so many famous generals, each of whom reveals a little bit of a hand or two, and the superposition is also extremely impressive. The most obvious example, combining the details of the formations in these military books, the power of the arranged formations has increased by at least one or two percent.

......

Three months later, Youzhou.

The cold north wind fell with heavy snow, and Youzhou at this time was already covered by heavy snow and frozen for thousands of miles.

Gongsun Chan stood on the city wall of Jixian County, looking at the snowfall in the sky, his eyes were extremely empty.

"Your Majesty, the weather is cold, you better go back to the palace to rest. Here are the ministers watching! Tian Yu said.

At this time, compared with three months ago, Tian Yu seemed to be more than ten years old, his face was haggard, his beard was faintly white, and his eyes were full of exhaustion.

Gongsun Zhan ignored Tian Yu's words, and still stood quietly in place like a bronze statue, looking very lonely.

"Ugh." Tian Yu sighed lightly.

Gongsun Chan has been standing here for a whole day, and he has accompanied and persuaded him for a day. If it weren't for the fact that both of them had the level of a second-rate military general or above, they would have frozen into ice sculptures long ago if they stayed in this cold wind and snow for a day.

"Whew!" With a long exhalation, Gongsun Chan recalled his life with mixed feelings, and sighed lightly at Tian Yu: "Guorang, you say, am I wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Tian Yu smiled slightly bitterly at the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty has already realized it in his heart, why bother asking Yu again?" ”

"It seems that I was really wrong." Gongsun Zhan said in a gloomy tone: "Timid, cowardly and selfish, I am really unbearable." ”

"It's good that Your Majesty can wake up in time, as long as Your Majesty can keep his heart, our Youzhou soldiers will still try their best to follow you!" Hearing this, a trace of hope flashed in Tian Yu's eyes, and he said in a firm tone.

"It's too late now." Gongsun Zhan said lightly: "In just three months, almost all Youzhou has fallen, and I have been surrounded by Yuan Shao's group, so I can only defend this Ji County." With enemies on all sides and no reinforcements, what life do I have? ”

At the beginning, Gongsun Zhan's flooding of Beiping, which shocked the world, certainly wiped out Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000, but it also cut off his own way of life, and the blood in the hearts of the soldiers who were united under his command was directly extinguished by a basin of cold water. Coupled with the disadvantage in terms of troops, Yuan Shao did not give him a chance to breathe at all, but he organized an army of 100,000 to go north in more than a month.

Faced with an enemy several times his size, Shan Jing, who was stationed in Yijing, defended for more than half a month, and then surrendered directly under heavy losses. There is no way, Yi Jing's situation is very similar to the original Beiping, Yuan Jun used the trick of digging the earth and digging the wall, and he stopped eating directly. went to obstruct it many times, but was hit hard by Zhang He and almost couldn't come back. kept asking for help, but Gongsun Chan still turned a deaf ear, and finally had to lead the defeated generals who had no fighting spirit to surrender.

In the final analysis, Gongsun Chan has lost his military heart. This kind of strength is far inferior to Yuan Shao's self-destruction of the city wall, and his defeat is already unstoppable. Even Yuan Shu didn't pay attention to this guy, but it's a pity that the countless siege equipment sent at the beginning didn't play a lot of role, and some of them fell directly into Yuan Shao's hands.

Hearing Gongsun Zhan's words, Tian Yu also sighed helplessly. Yuan Shao has blocked all the ways of life of Gongsun Zhan, and Zhuo County in the northeast of Ji County, Yuyang in the north, and Lu County in the northeast are all heavily guarded by Yuan Shao, and it is difficult for a large number of men and horses to break through. There are also Yan Liangwen and Chou, each with thousands of elite horsemen and more than 10,000 foot soldiers waiting around.

"You know very well the current situation, stubbornly defending is death, rushing and killing is also death, how do you think I should choose?" Gongsun Chan asked with a sudden smile.

"This time Yuan Benchu has come in person, is Your Majesty planning to fight Yuan Benchu for the last time?" Tian Yu asked.

"You're wrong this time, I'm going to defend it." Gongsun Chan looked at Tian Yu with burning eyes and said.

"Your Majesty, the only way to defend is ... Your Majesty, do you want to? Tian Yu was puzzled, and suddenly saw a strange light in Gongsun Zhan's eyes, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"No! Your Majesty, you must not do that now! It's a big deal that the minister will lead Bai Ma Yi to escort you to Liaodong with an oath, and he will definitely protect Your Majesty's life! Tian Yu said excitedly.

"Defecting to Yuan Highway? I'm not that lowly yet. The corner of Gongsun Zhan's mouth sneered slightly: "I was born with a stubborn temper, and I will die here, I admit it, but I will never bow my head to anyone." This time it was Yuan Benchu who won, but I didn't lose to him, I lost to myself. I will repay the debts I owe, and he Yuan didn't deserve to see me embarrassed. ”

"Your Majesty!" Tian Yu shouted in a sad tone.

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind. I am not a master, I have delayed you, and I owe you something. You don't need to accompany such an incompetent monarch and a dying person, wait until you take the white horse and leave, Yuan Highway will accept you. Gongsun Zan said in a firm tone: "Don't let Bai Ma Yicong die in my hands, temporarily forbear, and avenge me, I also hope that Jiuquan will hear his scolding from Yuan Benchu's mouth." ”
