Chapter 3 Troubled Times Descend Section 24 Clever Plans

After sending off the two lieutenants, Tian Feng pulled me to discuss the military situation. The two of them had sincere expressions on their faces, looking at their faces, they were very moved, it was good that someone could share their worries.

Fu Zhu first reported the information he had obtained: "My lord, according to the confession of the captives, they are the subordinates under the jurisdiction of Zhang Niujiao, the first bandit in Jizhou, and they are preparing to go to Julu to join Zhang Jiao. It is said that Zhang Niujiao has 300,000 people under his jurisdiction, and although he divides his troops, there are still no less than 100,000 people under his command. ”

Shocked, I quickly calculated, 100,000 people, although it is a rabble, but many ants bite and kill elephants, how to fight this battle?

I looked at Tian Feng opposite him, looking at his shocked expression, I knew that the news was too shocking, Tian Feng calmed down, and immediately suggested: "Lord, Captain Zou still has 5,000 combat strength, today's battle, they are just bystanders, if they can be trained to be as brave as the lord in the countryside, even if we meet Zhang Niujiao's troops, it will be worthy of a battle." ”

When he heard this, he immediately shook his head and objected: "This is the next policy, Captain Zou's subordinates, most of them are regular officers and soldiers, and they have always looked down on local armed forces. We reorganize the officers and troops with local towns, not to mention how Captain Zou views them, these officers and soldiers alone will not let us succeed smoothly. ”

Tian Feng quickly glanced at the frustration, and immediately said: "Feng also has a medium strategy, we have captured countless prisoners in this battle, if it is so, its young and strong will be incorporated into our army, and it will definitely improve the combat strength of our army, but in this way, after increasing the manpower, the supply of food and grass for our army is worrying." ”

He looked at Tian Feng appreciatively and nodded: "This is a good way, the lord can try to think about it." ”

I shook my head and said worriedly, "I'm worried about whether these people who were originally Yellow Turban thieves will be able to fight to the death when they see Yellow Turban thieves again." ”

Fu Zhu replied with a smile: "Why do you need to fight to the death, in my opinion, as long as we reach Qingzhou alive." Linzi City originated from Qi State, after hundreds of years of repair, the city is high and deep. The Yellow Turbans are nothing more than an army of civilians, and they have experience in siege. Qingzhou Gong Jing asked for help, but he didn't have a battle formation, and he saw that the yellow turban was powerful, so he was at a loss. As long as the lord sends a small number of soldiers and tells Gong Jing that we can come to help, Gong Jing will fight to the death and wait for reinforcements. ”

I was overjoyed and immediately complimented: "Zi Zheng's words, every sentence of gold and jade, made my mouth open."

Then, I looked at Fu Zhu and Tian Feng with a smile, and asked again: "The middle policy is so wonderful, what is the best policy?" ”

Fu Zhu and Tian Feng glanced at each other and said, "The intention of the lord is to wait for the reward of the imperial court with this achievement, and also want to take advantage of this to ride the east wind to the nine heavens." ”

Hearing this, I stretched my body on the side of a few cases, tapped a few cases with my fingers, and asked slowly: "What do the two military advisors mean by asking Liu Bei like this." ”

As soon as he stabbed Tian Feng, Tian Feng immediately took over the topic and said: "I think that Zhang Jiao can raise troops and rebel, and all the people are happy to follow him, and the source of it is that the ten permanent servants put more fathers, brothers, children, marriage and guests, and pawn states and counties, and rob the people; The people were wronged, and they had nothing to tell, so they plotted against each other and gathered as thieves. ”

After speaking, Tian Feng stood up, straightened his chest, raised his head and said generously: "Today's saint, despite the fact that hundreds of officials have written many times to explain the situation, he has opened a mansion in the West Garden and sold his official beard. Each official has an equal difference, 2,000 stone ranks, and the price is 20 million; 400 stone official rank, priced at 4 million; If you are selected for merit, you must also pay half the price, or one-third; The order is long and short, and the county is ugly, and the price is too much. The Empress Dowager Dong in Yongle Palace, who is greedy for money, smells that Emperor Ling has such a good deal, that is, she comes out to share the fat, and makes Emperor Ling expand his business, that is, the three princes and nine kings, can also be sold. In this way, the government is corrupt, and the people are miserable. ”

Tian Feng paced in the tent, and continued thoughtfully: "Before my son and I were accepting the expedition, I heard two things, one is that after the chaos of Zhang Chun in Youzhou, many officials did not dare to go to the post, so Youzhou bribed the officials, and asked for a refund from today, but today refused, and there was a giant businessman, with three million yuan to ask for the election of Liaoxi, for the history of the county, today to sell this official position for 20 million yuan, who knows that when this official went to office, he was captured by thieves and died on the road. ”

I nodded, Tian Feng said that this person I know that this rich merchant failed to purchase goods, so he spent money to buy the official position of the Liaoxi Assassin History, and wanted to use it to enslave Izumo City, but on the way to the post, he was beheaded by the Liu Hun tribe. After that, I was worried about the court's investigation. However, in hindsight, it seems that the interest of the imperial court was only in the continuous dispatch of officials to Liaoxi, and there was little interest in pursuing the killing of officials. We've killed more than 20 officials who have gone before and gone, but there are still people who want to come to Izumo City to be officials. Officials are really addicted to being officials.

Tian Feng continued: "There is another matter, the famous scholar Liu, who wrote that the ten permanent servants harmed the country, and now he was furious, so that the ten permanent servants were taken down and imprisoned, Liu asked the ten permanent servants to pay one million to get rid of the crime, although he was spared from this difficulty, his reputation was ruined, and the scholars disdained to associate with him. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Feng looked at my expression and slowly walked to the front of several cases and sat down. After taking a sip of water, I saw that I didn't mean to open my mouth, so I had to continue: "Qingzhou has changed three Taishou since Kong Yi's death, and each Taishou has sold at a lower price than the previous Taishou. ”

I still didn't speak, although my heart kept thinking, but on the surface, I just silently waited for them to say all their plans, and looked at the two of them calmly.

Seeing that I was silent, I had to take over the topic and continued: "Qingzhou is close to the sea on one side, and there is no risk of being attacked by the enemy behind it, but it has the benefit of fish and salt. The Yellow River flows through here, the terrain is flat, fertile fields for thousands of miles, if you cultivate well, it is not a problem to feed millions of people. Jinan's iron smelting industry is well developed, and craftsmen gather. If Qingzhou is used to compete for the world, there is no shortage of fish, salt, grain and iron. If Izumo Castle, to which the lord belongs, is supported from behind, the two places will become horns, and General Gongsun will echo on the side, and the advance can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended, wouldn't it be beautiful. ”

This frustration, this plan is so poisonous! He was trying to get on the bandwagon. It seems that this guy has never been a person who is supreme in the Han family. Come to think of it, when the emperor was in trouble, the first thing he thought of was to threaten the emperor to order the princes, and it is estimated that he has been disappointed in the court and has been planning for a long time. However, he has quite a unique strategic vision, which is exactly what I think. But how do I do that? Let his thoughts fly far away, chaotic.

I stood up and walked to the tent, and was silent, my eyes looking into the distance, and the tide of thought rose and fell like a raging and raging *; But the heart is ethereal, like a crop that has been in drought for a long time, and the whole thing is stretched.

Tian Feng also stood up, walked to me and stood, his eyes flashed with sincerity and passion, Tian Feng looked straight into my eyes, as if he had seen into the depths of my soul, and said firmly: "Lord, what are you hesitating about, Qingzhou has the danger of Mount Tai, millions of yellow scarves are horizontal, if you win, you will burn the county and destroy the village, and if you lose, you will gather in the mountains and forests, such a broken situation is not Gong Jingzhi's talent can govern." The lord puts the people first, if the lord can act in Qingzhou, but the people are spared from war, it should be the blessing of the people of Qingzhou. ”

Frustrated with his eyes focused, looking straight into my eyes, his eyes fluttered with admiration, and said: "With the Qingzhou Rebellion, it can't be governed by the talents of the lord." ”

I took a long breath, pressed the disturbed mood, pondered for a long time, turned back to the side of the case, and said: "I understand what the two military advisors said, it is for me to march slowly, and wait until I reach the city of Qingzhou to make plans." ”

Tian Feng said unabashedly: "Yes, the lord can send scouts to search for the whereabouts of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and then let the soldiers march slowly." At this time, 100,000 yellow scarves are on the side, and no one dares to accuse the lord of cowardice, and when he arrives in Qingzhou City, if Linzi is not broken, Gong Jing will not die, and he will be frightened by the yellow scarves. At that time, the lord wanted to gain a foothold in Qingzhou, it was as easy as a snap, if Gong Jing had the intention of going again, the lord would go up and down, and Qingzhou would have no one to compete with the lord. When Qingzhou is under great rule, even if the lord has the name of buying officials, the scholars can forgive. In this way, the lord not only retains the name of benevolence and righteousness, but also has a foothold, what does the lord hesitate to do such a good thing? ”

is a good plan, worthy of being a strategist on a par with Zhuge Liang. My heart rejoices.

I glanced at the two of them, looked at them trustingly, and said to them word by word: "Can the two military advisors discuss this matter?" ”

The two of them let out a long breath and nodded resolutely. I asked again, "Do you agree on the same page?" ”

The two of them nodded again quickly and vigorously, and I groaned, looked at them sincerely, and said, "Since I have come for rescue, I can't do anything to take away people's inheritance, so let's discuss this matter later." ”

After speaking, I waved my hand and resolutely stopped the two of them from continuing to persuade, picked up the military talismans on a few cases, and said to them with blazing eyes: "In this battle, the army is not in order, let me regret it very much, tomorrow the whole army will repair for one day, send light cavalry to notify Gong Jing to come to our army to help, from the day after tomorrow, only half a day a day, the second half of the day camp, let the army take turns to train the soldiers." Oh, just start with the Guanhai army, and let him set an example for the armies. Two military advisors, this military talisman will be handed over to you, two, worry more. ”

Tian Feng didn't care about it, and wanted to persuade him again, but he pulled Tian Feng with a mysterious expression on his face, his shining eyes were full of longing and sudden realization, and he immediately stepped forward and respectfully took the military talisman, and said solemnly: "I will live up to the trust of the lord." Holding the military talisman, the whole person was reborn and exuded a heroic spirit.

I smiled slightly, and it seemed that he understood what I meant, and the talisman was handed over to them, and it was up to them to decide what they did. Hey, hey, it's none of my business, of course, they're going to overdo it, and I can still come forward to be a good person. Hahaha.

I got up and left a few cases, and said to them in a brisk tone: "After Captain Zou comes, inform me that I will go to see Yide." ”

I was so excited that I was on the verge of tears. I resisted the urge to hug them, tried my best to calm my surging mood, quickly adjusted the expression of my face, and quickly finished speaking, got up and rushed out of the tent.

It's good that someone is willing to carry the black pot on his own initiative, and it's so happy to have an empathetic subordinate. I looked up at the sky, there were auspicious clouds piled up in the sky, and my wish came true, a good omen.

When I arrived in Zhang Fei's tent, it was a coincidence that he had just finished drawing the beauty and saw me come in, and immediately showed off to me proudly. I took the beauty picture, looked at it carefully, the painting was good, the pen was fine, the lines were varied, the composition was rigorous, the main and secondary were clear, the colors were rich and elegant but not gaudy, and the changes in the shade, thickness and turning of the lines were used to express the expressions, movements, postures and costumes of the characters. I admired the painting, and when I looked up, Guan Yu was also sitting in the tent, he frowned, hung his head, and didn't look at me, it seemed that he was very unhappy with my bizarre punishment.

I put down the beauty picture, took the hands of the two of them, sat down, looked at them calmly, and said softly: "Two virtuous brothers, do you want to learn the kung fu of ten thousand enemies?" ”

Zhang Fei looked at me happily, straightened his throat, and immediately shouted: "I was about to talk to my brother and learn the way of this battle formation."

Guan Yu also stood up and said urgently: "I see the change of the big brother's battle formation today, unheard of, as soon as the soldiers are formed by the big brother, they immediately send out a murderous aura, this way of the battle formation, I hope that the big brother will advise in the future." ”

I nodded happily and said, "Brothers are like siblings, how can I cherish myself." If the three of us are of one mind, their strength will be broken. In the future, I will discuss with you the changes in this battle formation, so that I can win all battles and leave a name in history. ”

Guan Zhang and the two looked at my sincere gaze, nodded heavily, and I got up and said, "It's getting late today, and starting tomorrow, our brothers will begin to study this art of war." After speaking, I walked out of the tent and threw a sentence at the door to Zhang Fei: "Yide, depending on your level of painting, it must have taken a lot of effort when your old gentleman taught you." ”

Behind him, Zhang Fei's muttering sounded: "It turns out that the eldest brother knew that I would draw pictures of ladies." ”

This butcher Zhang, although he muttered, was as loud as ordinary people shouted under his loud voice. I turned around and scolded: "Whisper, the military advisor knows and will not give up." ”

Since then, the two of them have begun to stand on the left and right, eating at the same table and sleeping in the same bed. Not for anything else, just to talk about the art of war. As the study progressed, my image in the hearts of the two of us began to grow taller, and our friendship became deeper and deeper.
