342 Southbound Plan
Tian Feng also believed that such a big matter of sending troops to Henan made such a hasty decision because of Yuan Shao's illness, and finally came to naught. But the reality is in front of him, and he can't admit it if he wants to.
He walked out of the council hall dejectedly, and looked up just in time to see his friend Frustrated coming from the door, holding a wad of papers in his hand, as if he was about to deliver a newspaper to the official office not far away. Tian Feng then remembered that he was demoted by Yuan Shao two levels in a row, and now he is just a small counselor. The counselor is not qualified to attend the court, so I didn't see the figure of the frustrated professor in the hall just now.
After Tian Feng took the initiative to greet each other, he asked Tian Feng, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Yuan Hao's stomach disease is better?" β
Tian Feng smiled bitterly and nodded.
Seeing Tian Feng's reluctance, he asked, "But I see that your face is still not very good." β
Tian Feng sighed, "Don't mention it." After he told the process of today's deliberations, he said: "The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is gone!" You say, my face looks good! β
Seeing that he just laughed and didn't express his opinion. Tian Feng showed a little anger, "Frustrated Gonghe, you are judging the reason!" Am I not right? β
"Yes, that's right!"
Tian Feng said indignantly: "But the lord didn't respond!" β
Frustrated and said lightly: "That's because you suggested that you found the wrong person." β
Tian Feng was confused, "How can the public say this?" What does it mean to find the wrong person? β
Frustrated, Fang Zhi lost the door on his mouth, and said perfunctorily: "It's nothing!" I mean, if you talk to your colleagues first, and then you talk to your lord, it might be better. "Oh!" Tian Feng nodded thoughtfully, "But in my opinion, what Zhenzheng Nan, Guo Gongze, and Feng Yuantu under the main account are all waste materials, Zhang He and Gao Ran are not bad, but they are all martial artists with little knowledge, and they can't discuss big things with them at all." You are the only one who is rich and has five cars, but you have been degraded again and again to be a small official who receives and delivers documents. Why don't you treat you unfairly! β
"Time, life! This is my life. Frustrated with a bleak smile.
"Another day, I will make a statement for the public in front of the lord, and let the prince and the official be reinstated."
Fu Zhu waved his hand and said to Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao doesn't have to work for me. Actually, it's good now, let it be! β
Tian Feng saw that he looked decadent, and became anxious, "Gonghe, what about your ambition!" Don't say such frustrating things again. When the Japanese official is reinstated, you and I will work together to help the lord create a great career. β
"The ambition of the bird?" Frustrated sneered. Secret Dao: Tian Feng is really naΓ―ve, and he still thinks that Yuan Shao can do great things.
"Why did the prince sneer?"
"I've already fallen once, Wangyuanhao don't hurt me again! Let me continue with this errand of delivering letters! Speaking of this, he bowed respectfully, "Besides...... Yuan Hao, don't blame my brother for not reminding you. Fang Jin, the villain on the side of the lord is in charge, and he must not be as upright as before. Otherwise I will be your example. β
After saying that, he confessed his guilt and strode away on the grounds that there was an important message being transmitted. Leaving a confused Tian Feng to stay in place, ponder for a moment, and shouted at the back of the frustrated teacher: "I, Tian Yuanhao, have a favor with the lord, who dares to harm me!" β
What Tian Feng didn't expect was that the words he had just shouted out were heard by the ears of the wall. An hour later, it was arranged into a slander of "Tian Fengju is proud of his achievements", and it was transmitted to Yuan Shao's ears through Guo Tu's mouth.
Yuan Shao was furious, because Tian Feng was indeed meritorious, so he was not punished. It's just that in the future, he will be pushed to the edge of power, and many matters will no longer follow his opinions.
In February of the fourth year of Shengyuan, Tian Fengnan's suggestion to attack Luan Yi was shelved by Yuan Shao. Facts have proved that this is the most wrong decision in Yuan Shaoping's life.
At this point in time, Luan Yi and Cao Cao fell into a bitter battle, and Jinan's domestic defense was so empty that it could no longer be empty, with only 3,000 defenders. If Yuan Shao moves south, Jinan can be decided in one fell swoop.
It is true that Luan Yi still has a corresponding way to collect and pay Jinan back, but Yuan Shaoda can carry out purposeful destruction of Jinan counties before losing Jinan. For example, destroying the Luokou factory, abducting the experienced craftsmen in the factory, taking away the recipe of the glaze, and the manufacturing drawings of the water-powered spinning wheel...... This will cause incalculable losses to Luan Yi, and at the same time send Yuan Shao a steady stream of wealth.
But Yuan Shao didn't do that. A few years later, Tian Fengnian couldn't help but complain when he talked about it, saying that Yuan Shao was "ambitious, talented, indecisive, and stubborn", and he didn't need to use the God-given opportunity in front of him. If the troops had been sent to Jinan at that time, they would definitely not have ended up in the current field, and the situation would not be the same as it is now.
In March of the fourth year of Shengyuan, a blockbuster news exploded in Jinan - Luan Yi was deeply surrounded by Cao's army and was sniped by Xiahoudun.
The thirteen states of the Great Han Dynasty were shaken.
When Yuan Shao heard the news, his face first showed surprise, and then he showed an excited smile and jumped up. "Luan Ziqi is dead?" After receiving an affirmative answer, he felt indescribably happy.
How many years! This man, who is revered by the world as a god general, is like a mountain that weighs him down. Now that the mountain has collapsed, he feels extremely happy, and his whole body is indescribably comfortable from the pores to the heart and liver. At the same time, without Luan Yi, the Church of Our Lady is equivalent to the loss of the protector, and the originally impregnable diocese will no longer be terrible.
"Hahaha...... God help me! β
So, Yuan Shao brought up the old matter again, and at this time, he moved out the southward plan that Tian Feng mentioned a month ago.
But what he didn't expect was that all the people in the hall voted against it without exception. Even Tian Feng, the first person who proposed to go south to Jinan, was no exception.
He wondered how he had changed his mind in the blink of an eye with several people supporting him last month.
Confused, he asked Tian Feng, last month Mr. Tian suggested that I go through Jinan, but I felt that the time was not enough and I did not agree. Now, Luan Yi is dead. The Church of Our Lady has lost its backbone, and the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and it is the best time to go south. Why did Mr. Tian object again?
Tian Feng told the story. He said: Last month, don't look at Luan Yi didn't die. However, judging from the battle between the Holy Mother Sect and the Cao army, Luan Yi occupied most of the territory of Yanzhou, and his more than 40,000 soldiers and horses needed to be stationed in more than 20 cities, and the troops were scattered. If the lord is at that time, he will send troops to Jinan. It took a long time for Luan Yi to gather his scattered forces before he could return to Jinan. And in such a long time, the lord's army can completely capture Jinan. Losing Jinan, Luan Yi's battle will be chaotic, and Cao Mengde will copy from the West. The Church of Our Lady will be defeated.
On the other hand, now, although Luan Yi died in battle. But there are also wizards such as Guo Jia, Mao Jue, and Xu Shu in the Church of Our Lady. They began to be conservative in the ensuing war with Cao Mengde, and successively gave up a large area of territory in Jiyin County and Dong County within the jurisdiction of Yanzhou. This made the soldiers and horses scattered all over Yanzhou gather in the center, and they were no longer scattered as before.
If the lord sends troops to Jinan at this time, the army of Our Lady of Yanzhou will soon be able to come back and take advantage of the complex terrain of Jinan to snipe at the lord.
The lord attacked Jinan for a long time, but let Cao Cao easily occupy Yanzhou. I worked hard to make a wedding dress for others in vain. Pay for one's whistle.
In addition, Tian Feng also said that he felt that Luan Yi's death was very strange. In the battle of Cao and Luan Yanzhou, Cao Cao invested about 55,000 people, and Luan Yi had 45,000 soldiers and horses. It is for this reason that in the initial stages of the war, the two sides were in a state of confrontation. The confrontation lasted well, but something happened in the middle of last month - Luan Yi's military rations were burned by Cao Cao.
The burning of grain immediately became the fuse for the start of the attack, and since then Luan Yi has fought and retreated, and Cao Cao has won successes......
Speaking of the location of Luan Yitun grain - Yutai. Tian Feng is quite familiar, it is true that Yutai is located on the river of Luanyi's newly built canal, and it is convenient for transportation. But the city of Yutai is too small, and it is a compliment to say that he is a city, and the city wall is not as high as the courtyard wall of Luan Yi's house. Tian Feng thinks about it, how do he think that unless his head is kicked by a donkey, ordinary people will never choose it as a place to store grain.
Whether it is Luan Yi, Guo Jia, or Xu Shu, they are all smart people, and they will not do this.
In other words, even if they really choose Yutai as a big warehouse. Then it's time to strengthen the city defenses, right?
There are so many craftsmen under Luan Yi's hands, thousands of miles of canals have been built, but the city walls can't be repaired?
Certainly not.
With this inference, Tian Feng immediately judged that the grain and grass burned by Cao Cao was fake, that is, the military rations of the Holy Mother Sect were not broken.
But since there is no shortage of food, the church army has to retreat a hundred miles and give up many Yanzhou cities!
The answer is about to come out, luring the enemy deeper.
The most suspicious thing is the battle in which Luan Yi died in the Remnant Lotus Cliff. In that battle, Luan Yi originally had the upper hand, and the Cao army who fought was running away. Subsequently, Luan Yi personally led his troops to chase and was ambushed by Cao Cao in the Remnant Lotus Cliff.
And this ambush is precisely the most suspicious part of this matter.
Geographically, the Remnant Cliff is indeed an excellent location for an ambush. But one thing is crucial, when is Luan Yi in the middle of the ambush? In February, in this spring season, as the earth warms up, many hibernating animals will wake up from their sleep, and the birds flying south will also return north at this time...... It can be said that the mountains at this time are the most lively time.
As we all know, animals are afraid of people, and tens of thousands of troops hiding in the mountains must be silent birds and beasts.
Many experienced generals can use the reactions of the birds and beasts in the mountains in the February solar term to judge the current situation.
Luan Yi had been fighting since he was twelve years old, and it was clear that it should be attributed to an experienced general.
He had fought so many battles, and when he passed by the Remnant Lotus Cliff, he couldn't hear the birds' calls or the roars of the beasts, so couldn't he detect that there was an ambush in the mountains? Can't he see that the Remnant Lotus Cliff is suitable for ambushes?
Unless he's kicked in the head by a donkey.
