Yuan Shaomo held the knife ring, and his heart ached faintly, like a silkworm eating his heart.

Tian Feng sat opposite him and gently rested the staff in his hand. He was originally very uneasy, but when he spoke, he relaxed. The situation is not up to anyone, Yuan Shao can accept it, if he can, he can't help it.

Leave it to fate.

Yuan Shao saw the change in Tian Feng's expression from the corner of his eye, and his heart was even more annoyed. The people of Jizhou have the advantage and are as stable as Mount Tai, and they are not afraid that he will not agree. The fact is also the same, Yanzhou is crippled, Qingzhou is half-gained, Youzhou is in danger, and the only thing he can rely on now is Jizhou. If the people of Jizhou are half-hearted, he will have no chance.

Of course, Emperor Guangwu is probably like this. How could he marry Guo Shengtong willingly, but he was forced to do so. If it weren't for that, how could he retaliate against the Hebei people like that after ascending the throne. I used to think that Emperor Guangwu was ruthless and the people of Hebei were wronged, but now it seems that perhaps the people of Hebei took the blame and arrogantly challenged the imperial power, which aroused the anger of Emperor Guangwu.

This year's humiliation will be washed away with blood.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, spit it out slowly, and nodded gently. He raised his hand and motioned for the waiter to bring some wine and food, then moved to Tian Feng, leaned on the desk, and said with a wry smile: "What Yuan Hao said is very true, I was planning to discuss it with Yuan Hao." A lot of things have happened this year......" Yuan Shao felt unspeakable for a moment, and involuntarily paused, quickly gritted his teeth again, and said calmly: "I failed to ask Yuan Hao for advice in time, so that now I am stumbling left and right, and I hope that Yuan Hao will not give up, forgive me for the crime of negligence." ”

Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shao in surprise. He hadn't seen Yuan Shao so sincere for a long time, and he didn't react for a while, and he didn't know how to answer. Yuan Shao didn't urge him, he looked at him quietly, the smile on his face became more and more sincere, and even the coldness in his eyes was very well concealed. Tian Feng exhaled, forcibly calmed himself, stroked his beard, and groaned for a moment.

"What the lord said is very true, the current situation is indeed not good. However, the lord does not have to blame himself too much, if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? After that, it can be changed, and it is very good. Throughout the classics, all those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times have experienced hardships, such as Da Shun and Emperor Gao. ”

Yuan Shao nodded cooperatively and said a few words modestly. "How dare I compare with these two former sages, I just hope that Yuan Hao will not give up and give me guidance."

Tian Feng nodded intently. "Dare to borrow a map."

Yuan Shao took out the map from the front of the case, got up and sent it to Tian Feng, and sat down in front of Tian Feng. Tian Feng almost burst into tears when he saw Yuan Shao so respectful. He resisted the excitement in his heart and pointed to the map to explain.

"Since Zhongping, the world is in turmoil, first there is the Yellow Turban, then there is Dong Zhuo, to this day, the Son of Heaven moved west, the Kanto region is chaotic, there are Sun father and son in the south, Gongsun Zan in the north, Tao Qian in the east, Dong Zhuo in the west, the lord is surrounded by enemies, and the situation is not optimistic. But ......" Tian Feng paused, coughed dryly twice, took the wine glass and drank it all, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and slammed the wine glass on the case. "This opportunity to switch between strength and weakness must not be overlooked."

Tian Feng said excitedly, he didn't pay attention to the strength of his subordinates, and with the sound of "bang", Yuan Shao was startled, subconsciously straightened up, and looked at Tian Feng angrily. Tian Feng was generous and didn't notice Yuan Shao's displeasure. Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, suddenly reacted, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly lifted the wine jug and filled Tian Feng's wine glass.

"Yuan Hao, in detail."

"Lao Tzuyun, the wind never ends, and the rain never ends. Sun's father and son came from a humble background, and they were not expected by the world, and they took the three states by deception, although their people were obedient but the people's hearts were not solid, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, how could they be enemies in the territory? It is the late grandson who sticks to Junyi, Tai Shici guards Rencheng, and Lu Fan guards Suiyang, and he succumbs without a fight, and it is clear that he cannot enter. ”

Yuan Shao thought for a moment and couldn't help but nod in agreement. He was originally worried that he would be entangled in the war in Youzhou and not be able to take care of it, Sun Ce would take the initiative to attack Yanzhou, but after listening to Tian Feng's analysis, he realized that this possibility was not great. Before the autumn harvest was over, Sun Jian stationed in Junyi to strengthen the city defense and relocate the people, clearly intending to hold on to the city, and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

In other words, Sun Ce didn't want to, but couldn't. For more than three years, Sun Ce didn't even stabilize Yuzhou, so he had to rely on strict punishment and strict laws, suppress the Yuzhou family by force, and always be on guard against internal turmoil, where would he have the spare strength to attack Yanzhou?

Tian Feng is right, this is an opportunity to switch between strength and weakness. Sun Ce seems to be aggressive, but in fact, he is at the end of his crossbow. Jizhou looks like it is surrounded by enemies, but it is not as pessimistic as I imagined. Sun Ce has three states in hand, but the strength is not much different from mine, which is proof.

Without the support of the family, without enough money and food, he could not recruit enough troops. He sent people to encourage Gongsun Zan to fight with Liu Yu, and it was precisely because he knew that he was invincible, so he wanted to attract my attention to Youzhou. But Gongsun Chan is just a defeated soldier of mine, so what good can he do? If it weren't for Liu Yu's incompetence and defeat in the first battle, Gongsun Zhan's move would just be a suicide path. Sun Ce may be able to fight for a year or two, but he can't change the final result. When I take Youzhou and go south with the power of Youzhou's elite cavalry, Sun Ce has no choice but to retreat to Jiangdong in addition to surrendering.

He spent so much effort on shipbuilding, probably just to protect the Yangtze River.

The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth provoked a sneer, and his heart suddenly calmed down, and there was a hint of fluttering.

What a little bully, jumping beam clown ears.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was distracted, his eyes were a little fluttering, and Tian Feng coughed. Yuan Shao came back to his senses and hurriedly motioned for Tian Feng to continue.

Tian Feng then analyzed that Sun Ce needed time to consolidate Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, and his own strength was insufficient, so he had to join forces and find allies, who could be his allies? Tao Qian, Gongsun Zhan, and Jia Xu, only they were willing to go with Sun Ce, although they were based in a state, they did not have the support of the local family, but caused public anger because of their brutal methods. If they want to survive, they need Sun Ce to provide money and food. Sun Ce himself is overstretched, how can he have money and food to support them? But if you don't support it, you can't do it, you can only cut the flesh and mend the sores, which is difficult to last for a long time.

"The gentleman is harmonious but different, the villain is the same but not harmonious, this generation without exception is from the cold family, not to make friends with righteousness, but to benefit together, the reason why we can help each other in the same boat, but because the lord is strong, it is not so invincible. If the lord is fixed with the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and the profit of money and food from outside, he will be able to attack from afar and closely, but in a few years, he will be able to break them one by one, such as picking up mustard ears. ”

Yuan Shao gently twisted his fingers and said with a smile: "Yuan Hao looks up from afar, and puts the world in the palm of his hand. With the help of Yuan Hao, I am also lucky. ”

Tian Feng stroked his beard and smiled, quite complacent.

At this time, the tent door was opened, and Guo Tu walked in, looking tired. He glanced at Tian Feng, then exchanged a look with Yuan Shao, nodded quietly, and bowed his hand.

"My lord, I'm back. Is Brother Yuan Hao guiding the maze for the lord? If you have any high opinions, can you tell me about them, but also let me have a long insight. ”

Tian Feng was uncomfortable when he saw Guo Tu's appearance of not yin and yang, anyway, what he should say had already been said, and it was useless to stay longer, so he got up to say goodbye to Yuan Shao and walked away. Yuan Shao instructed the waiter to send Tian Feng out of the tent, and he grabbed Guo Tu's arm.

"How's that?"

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." Guo Tu smiled. "The Zhen family agreed, and they are willing to serve the Lord."
