Yecheng

As the lord of Hebei, Yuan Xi felt that it was necessary to protect the people of Bingzhou, but he didn't expect that Tian Feng, who was the most trusted, secretly compromised with the Hu people this time, and only ordered the general to open his jaw to guard the Huguan, ignoring the life and death of the people of Bingzhou.

"Why, sir?" Yuan Xi stared at Tian Feng angrily and disappointedly and asked.

Tian Feng was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Without him, think about the future of the lord." ”

"The future? For the people under his rule who are not saved when they see death, and let them be bullied by the Hu people, what face does my Yuan Xi continue to call himself the lord of Hebei? Yuan Xi blamed himself bitterly.

“…… Lord, if it is not Tian Feng's iron-hearted heart, it is really powerless at the moment. Hebei has been fighting again and again, the old lord did not know how to sympathize with the people when he was alive, and when the lord took the throne, Hebei fell into internal strife, and finally waited for the end of the internal strife, Liaodong Gongsun Du raised troops to attack, the lord, although my Hebei is big, but now there is really no spare strength to fight on two fronts. Tian Feng couldn't bear to see this, and patiently explained to Yuan Xi.

"If that's the case, why do you want to order Zhang Jaw to guard the Huguan Pass tightly, and not allow the people of the state to take refuge in the pass?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Lord, if there is no reward for the people of Jizhou, how can Kebineng, Budugen and others let go of the people of Jizhou." Tian Feng replied with a wry smile.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Yuan Xi is only the lord of a state, and at that time he already felt a little powerless, and after he became the lord of Hebei, he had more things to manage, if it weren't for Tian Feng, Tian Chou and others to assist, Yuan Xi might not be able to hold on for even a day. It is precisely because he knows the hard work of Tian Feng and others that Yuan Xi can understand Tian Feng's painstaking efforts to give up and merge states.

At present, the Hebei Yuan clan has long been much worse than before, and the successive expeditions have long exhausted the savings of the Yuan clan, although the war against Gongsun Du is winning one after another, but if you want to deal with Gongsun Du and Kebi Neng, Bu Dugen and other forces at the same time, Hebei Yuan does not have such a big capital.

Tian Feng's abandonment of merging states is like a strong man with a broken arm, and he must make a choice between Gongsun Du or Kebineng. Only by solving Gongsun Du first, can the Yuan clan in Hebei have the spare strength to deal with Kebineng, and as for the people of the state, then they can only say sorry first.

Although Tian Feng's choice cannot be said to be wrong, it is definitely not acceptable to most people. Yuan Xi is better, trusts Tian Feng, and knows that Tian Feng is not the kind of villain who forgets his righteousness, he will give up and merge with the state, and when Tian Feng explains it to him clearly, Yuan Xi will also expose the matter. But others don't know Tian Feng's hardships, especially those who are suppressed by Tian Feng on weekdays, and they regard this opportunity as an excellent opportunity to defeat Tian Feng.

The news reached Yuan Tan's ears, and Yuan Tan almost burped with joy. Today's Yuan Tan is not as good as before, when Yuan Shao was alive, Yuan Tan was the eldest son of the Yuan family, Qingzhou Mu, but after Yuan Tan lost power, he became a dog and ignored him, Chen Gong, Guo Tu and others who originally revolved around him left him and went to Yuan Xi's account, and now he is dealing with Gongsun Du with Gao Lan, Zhu Ling and others, and gradually gained a firm foothold under Yuan Xi's account. And Yuan Tan himself was trapped in Yecheng, Tian Feng stopped all Yuan Tan's duties in the name of recuperation, Yuan Tan is now a rich idler in Yecheng, and he is not as good as Sun Quan, at least Sun Quan has the right to move around freely, and he has no door except for his own house.

Knowing that Tian Feng was suspicious, the happiest person was Yuan Tan. It's just that Yuan Tan can only be happy in his own house, and it is impossible to make a comeback. After Hebei experienced a brotherly dispute, no one wanted Hebei to have another brotherly dispute, and Yuan Tan was not a very eloquent figure, so naturally he could not arouse the interest of others.

Yuan Tan did not pose much of a threat to Yuan Xi's lord of Hebei, and with Yuan Shang's departure, the interior of Hebei was now stable. A little infamy, Tian Feng didn't take it seriously, and Yuan Xi didn't care. At present, the main enemy in Hebei is Gongsun Du, Chen Gong in order to get Yuan Xi's reuse, after sending troops with Gao Lan, he offered a surprise attack on Fanyang, and took Gongsun Du's grain storage place, and then Zhu Ling and led the troops to defeat Gongsun Du's troops who learned that the grain and grass were lost and the army was in turmoil.

Gongsun Du's account didn't have any generals, he was able to advance in the past with great triumph, but he just took advantage of the weakness, and the allies he was looking for were just grass on the wall, especially the defection of Badun halfway, which was tantamount to stabbing Gongsun Du in the back of the heart. The current Gongsun Du is just barely breathing, relying on the cavalry under his command to entangle with the Yuan army to delay time, and it is unlikely that he wants to turn the tables.

When Kebineng and others led their troops south, Gongsun Du was still happy for a while, thinking that he had the opportunity to make peace with Yuan Jun, but he didn't want Yuan Jun to act so ruthlessly, and in order to solve his hidden danger in one fell swoop, he actually gave up merging states. The Hebei Yuan clan, which lost the annexation of the state, will indeed suffer from its strength, but the impact on Gongsun Du will be even greater.

With the rebellion of Bunton, the Karasuma people, who were allies before, have become their enemies, blocking the possibility of returning to Liaodong by land, and the only way out for them to return to Liaodong is by boat. But at this time, it is not easy to find a big ship. In order to clean himself up, the Yuan family didn't even want to merge the state, how could he let himself easily find the sea ship.

Previously, taking advantage of the Yuan clan to confront the imperial court, the rear was empty, Gongsun Du led the army to march forward, and even drove straight to Nanpi, but now, Nanpi has become Gongsun Du's trapped beast land. The Yuan clan, who returned to the army, did not immediately wave the army to Nanpi, but sent Zhang Jaw Gao Ran to lead an army to Beiping in the starry night, intending to cut off his own way back, and at the same time ordered Guo Tu to make the secret meeting unstoppable.

Karasuma people are all people who forget their righteousness, and at the beginning, Badun would send troops with Gongsun Du, that was because Gongsun Du offered a heart-warming price, and the price code given by Guo Tu was more attractive than that of Gongsun Du, and Badun naturally gave up Gongsun Du and returned to the arms of the Yuan family.

The betrayal of Badun made Gongsun Du unrecoverable, Fan Yang's grain and grass were destroyed, and the men and horses under Gongsun Du's command were disheartened. People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. Thinking about the fact that Yuan Shao's million-strong army in the romance could be defeated by Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of horses after the grain and grass were destroyed, Gongsun Du's men and horses were even more unbearable.

Nanpi has now become a lonely city, after being defeated head-on by Zhu Ling and the army led by Zhao Zhao, there are deserters who flee every day and night with the property looted from the people in these days, wanting to break it into pieces and secretly return to Liaodong. It's just that these people are destined not to return to Liaodong, not to mention the investigation of Yuan Jun's distribution in various places, but the people who have suffered from their bullying for a long time will not easily spare them.

Before, there was no one to support it, and the people could only swallow their anger, but now that there are people who support it, when will it not retaliate at this time? The young men of each village were organized, and the attacking brigade did not have the courage, but the courage to sneak attack a few lone deserters.

Gongsun Du also sent people to Yecheng to ask Yuan Xi for peace, but it was the head of the envoy who came back. Although Yuan Xi has a somewhat cowardly personality, he also doesn't like to go against the grain. Especially when the strength is stronger than the other party, and he was bullied again, he finished robbing and killing, and now he wants to pat his ass and leave? There are no doors either!

In the midst of shouting and killing, Gongsun Du was desperate. When people fall into despair, they either resign themselves to fate and wait for death to come, or they go crazy and have to drag their backs when they die, and Gongsun Du obviously belongs to the latter. After the hope of peace, Gongsun Du gathered the people in Nanpi City in one place, and threatened that as long as Yuan's army dared to attack the city, he would kill the people in the city first, and then set himself on fire.

It doesn't matter if Gongsun Du is dead, but the people of Nanpi City can't help it. Don't look at the fact that the Yuan clan in Hebei nominally occupies the land of the four states, but in fact, the only ones who can really provide the Yuan clan with money and grain are Youzhou and Hebei. Qingzhou has been abolished since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and there are endless thieves, so it's good if you don't put money into it. And because the previous Han court let the attached Southern Xiongnu recuperate in Bingzhou, the current Bingzhou is said to be the world of the Han people, but the Xiongnu can be seen everywhere. As soon as Kebineng's soldiers and horses arrived, those Huns who seemed to be honest on weekdays tore off their disguises and swung their butcher knives at the Han people around them.

Nanpi is a big city in Jizhou, and the wealth and population in the city have made a lot of contributions to Jizhou, and Yuan Xi can't let Gongsun Du take this city to be buried. But let Gongsun Du go, Yuan Xi was unwilling, and the matter was deadlocked.

Yuan Xi came to Tian Feng with the intention of discussing with Tian Feng whether to let Gongsun Du and allow him to return to Liaodong, but he didn't want to accidentally learn that Huguan Zhangjaw did not carry out his orders and did not accept those people who fled from the state. When he learned that it was Tian Feng's secret order to Zhang Jaw, he couldn't help but be furious, and hurriedly came to Tian Feng to ask what was going on.

"Alas~ After this incident, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Bingzhou to be my Hebei land." Yuan Xi sighed and said.

"My lord, now is not the time to sigh and merge with the state, there are more important matters that need to be decided by the lord." Seeing this, Tian Feng frowned and reminded.

“…… Mr. is trying to talk about Gongsun Du? ”

"Yes, at such a big price, how can you let Gongsun Du go. If it is allowed to return to Liaodong, it will be like letting the tiger return to the mountain. ”

"Is that gentleman planning to abandon the people of Nanpi again?" Yuan Xi looked at Tian Feng with a smile when he heard this, and asked.

"My lord, Nanpi is very important to my Jizhou, and it is easy not to give up."

"In that case, how can Sir get Gongsun Du to leave Nanpi?"

“…… I'm afraid that the reputation of the lord needs to be damaged. ”

"Huh...... Give up and merge the state, what reputation do I have? Sir, don't think about my reputation, since Mr. insists on solving Gongsun Du, then let it go, I support you. ”

After hearing Yuan Xi's words, Tian Feng was a little moved. He is an old-fashioned person, not because he is inflexible, but because he disdains it in the past. Because of his personality and his bumpy career, although Yuan Shao also valued his ability, he couldn't accept his character, so he had several ups and downs, until he was sent to Yuyang.

In Yuyang, Tian Feng met Yuan Xi, originally Tian Feng was not optimistic about Yuan Xi, thinking that this son had a cowardly personality and could not achieve a big thing, but he didn't want God to be joking, such a cowardly person turned out to be the lord of Hebei. To be honest, whether it is Yuan Shang or Yuan Tan, they are more suitable than Yuan Xi to be the lord of Hebei.

After Yuan Xi successfully ascended the throne, Tian Feng wanted to retreat bravely and return to his hometown to no longer ask about the world, but he didn't want Yuan Xi to treat himself as usual after becoming the lord of Hebei, and Tian Feng's desire to retreat gradually faded.

Comparing hearts to hearts, Tian Feng is not a grass and tree, how can he be indifferent to Yuan Xi's unconditional trust and support. In order to repay Yuan Xi's trust and support, Tian Feng can say that everything he does is for Yuan Xi. And now Yuan Xi still has the same trust and support as before, so Tian Feng vows to solve Gongsun Du in return for Yuan Xi's trust and support.

Tian Feng is serious, and Gongsun Du is unlucky. He was not a resourceful person, and in the face of the "kindness" released by Yuan Jun, he really thought that his plan to take hostages had worked, so Yuan Jun had to give in. And after seeing with his own eyes the more than 100 sea ships prepared for them by Yuan Jun on the seaside, Gongsun Du believed Yuan Jun's attitude of agreeing to let him go.

Before, I felt that I had no way to live, so I desperately wanted to play with others, but now that the way of life has appeared, the heart to die is naturally light. After making sure that there was no Yuan army on the way from Nanpi to the seaside, Gongsun Du led the remnants of the defeated army to leave Nanpi, but he also kept his promise and did not slaughter the people of Nanpi, but when he arrived at the beach and saw the Yuan army rushing down from more than 100 sea boats, Gongsun Du knew that he had been fooled.

Just thinking about sending people to check whether there would be an ambush by Yuan's army along the road, but forgetting that there were also troops on the sea ship. In the face of the attack of the Yuan army, the men and horses under the command of Gongsun Du were in chaos, and Gongsun Du himself was picked off the horse with a shot in the chaotic army, and Gongsun Du, who was originally the emperor of the soil in Liaodong, died in his hometown, and the men and horses he brought were also killed by the Yuan army. Murderers are always killed, these people killed people when they committed Youzhou with Gongsun Dubing, and they reported and reported, and now is the time for them to pay for their lives.

After solving Gongsun Du, Yuan Xi seemed to feel that a piece of the big stone pressed in his heart had been moved, so he thought about discussing with Tian Feng to move another big stone in his heart. Previously, there was the trouble of Gongsun Du, and the Yuan family could only watch the state being harmed by the Hu people, but now that Gongsun Du has been removed, Yuan Jun also has the spare strength to intervene in the state.

"Sir, why are you frowning? Could it be that something has happened again? Yuan Xi saw Tian Feng frowning tightly, and couldn't help but ask in wonder.

"My lord, I'm afraid things have changed in the state." Tian Feng put down the letter, looked at Yuan Xi and said slowly. As for Yuan Xi's intention, even if Yuan Xi doesn't say Tian Feng, he can guess it. He also planned to wait for the army to rest for ten days and a half before setting off to save the state, but a letter from the frustrated envoy made Tian Feng feel that the matter of sending troops needed to be considered in the long run.

Frustrated to write to Tian Feng not to reminisce about the past, but to break off friendship. Fu Zhu was originally Han Fu's subordinate, and after Han Fu gave Youzhou to Yuan Shao, Fu Zhu also voted for Yuan Shao under Tian Feng's recommendation. Later, Yuan Shao attacked the imperial court in the name of the Qing monarch, Tian Feng was sent to Yuyang by Yuan Shao due to opposition, and Fu Zhu went south with the army, and finally called the Han army to take prisoners. After Yuan Shao's death, Hebei fell into civil strife, and Fu Zhu was also released to Hebei by Liu Xie at that time, but after returning to Hebei, Fu Zhu was not reused by Yuan Xi. Although the ability of frustration is there, Yuan Xi does not trust frustration.

Yuan Xi is not Yuan Shao, and Fu Zhu is not willing to work under people who do not trust him, after blocking the Han army for Yuan Xi once, Fu Zhu became a prisoner of the Han army again, and this time, Fu Zhu has no intention of serving Yuan Xi anymore. Of course, he did not intend to serve the Han army. The career was not smooth, which made the frustrated professor disheartened, and he planned to return to his hometown to teach and educate people, but he didn't want Liu Xie to let go of the frustrated professor. Liu Xie didn't have a good way to deal with a guy like Frustration who didn't eat hard and soft, so he asked people to send Frustration back to Chang'an and hand it over to Xun Yu for supervision.

Before the southern invasion of the Hu people, Fu Zhu only served as a scribe under Xun Yu, and was responsible for copying official documents in exchange for a living. But people in the center, there are many things that can't be hidden, after learning that the Hu people invaded the south, and the Yuan family in Hebei saw death and could not be saved, the frustration finally couldn't be idle. And after learning that Huguan opened his jaw and guarded the gate and did not accept the people of the state, he was even more dissatisfied with Tian Feng.

Compared with the inaction of the Yuan clan in Hebei, the reaction of the imperial court made Fu Zhi shake. Although this state is under the Han Dynasty, it is actually occupied by Hebei, and the imperial court just doesn't care about it, and others can't say anything to blame. But the imperial court took control and let go of the great opportunity to recover Jingnan, and the imperial court began to transfer grain and grass from all over the country to prepare for the annexation of troops, and in contrast, it was Yuan's indifference. I don't understand, even if the Yuan clan in Hebei has a hard time, is it difficult to accept the fleeing people?

The eyes and ears of the imperial court are terrifying, and being by Xun Yu's side, Fu Zhi has the opportunity to contact those top secret news, and Tian Feng has made peace with Hu Ren in private, which is why Fu Zhi knows.

Frustrated and furious!

Tian Fengshou received a letter of renunciation, and thus learned about the imperial court's preparation to send troops to merge the state. It stands to reason that it is good for the Yuan clan for the imperial court to send troops and annex the state, at least the pressure will be halved. The Hu people are fierce, but the Han army is also not easy to mess with. Hebei alone may be a little difficult to deal with, but if the Han army participates in the war, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with the Hu people.

But if the annexation is allowed to be saved by the imperial court, will this annexation state still be regarded as the territory of the Yuan clan in Hebei in the future? Without the annexation of the state, Qingzhou cannot be counted on in a short period of time, will the Yuan clan of Hebei remain unchanged and choose to participate in the war or let the imperial court and the Hu people compete for the annexation of the state, and take the opportunity to recuperate? That's a problem.

"Sir, what are you hesitating about?" Yuan Xi looked at Tian Feng in confusion and asked.

“…… Lord, I'm thinking about whether it is good or bad for me for Hebei to send troops to the imperial court and annex the state? Tian Feng replied when he heard this.

Yuan Xi was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time before he said to Tian Feng: "Sir, if you let me say it, I think the benefits outweigh the disadvantages." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"The biggest advantage of the imperial court sending troops to merge states is that the people of the state do not have to suffer from the Hu people anymore, and I Hebei can also be exempted from the pressure of guarding against Kebineng and others, and can concentrate on recuperation."

"And what about the downside?"

“…… I'm afraid that Hebei will have to bear the infamy for a while longer. ”
