In February, although the weather is still bitterly cold, it is already the end of winter, and the breath of spring has bloomed slightly, and the weeds on the ground have begun to sprout.

Jizhou, the state pastoral house

At this time, Yuan Shao was discussing with his staff the specific matters of sending troops, that is, the plan to pacify the Central Plains, which was Yuan Shao's next strategy after defeating Gongsun Zhan, and had been preparing for it for more than half a year.

"It's been almost a year since the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, and now that our army has completed its cultivation, and the grain and grass are basically ready, it is ready to attack Cao Cao, I don't know when you think it is better to send troops?" In the majestic hall, Yuan Shao sat high on the top and asked a cadre under his hand.

"Lord, if you want to attack Cao Thief, without further ado, the weather will warm up next month, why don't we set the time for sending troops at the end of March?" When this topic was raised, the staff judge immediately proposed.

"Hmm!" Yuan Shao stroked his beard, but did not speak. This is what he has always been a habit of, the so-called brainstorming, even if Yuan Shao already agrees with the opinions of the trial in his heart, but he still wants to listen to other people, and when everyone is in agreement, he will agree, of course, if there is a difference of opinion, it depends on which side he prefers.

"Yes, the sooner we send troops, the better, to catch Cao Cao off guard!"

"At the beginning of spring, we will quickly go south, and strive to destroy Cao Cao within half a year, and then destroy Lu An, so that no one can stop the trend of the lord sweeping the world!"

Attacking Cao Cao is a strategy that Yuan Shao has set a long time ago, and all the staff members naturally have no opinions, or those who have opinions have been left out in the cold, so Yuan Shao naturally hears all the voices of approval, and occasionally such wise men as frustrated Although they have different opinions, they also know that it is useless to persuade Yuan Shao at this time, so they are silent, too lazy to touch Yuan Shao's mold.

"Well, since everyone thinks that it is appropriate to send troops at the end of March, then the time for sending troops is set for late March!" Listening to the voices of the people below who tried their best to agree, Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction. He himself wanted to destroy Cao Cao as quickly as possible, and sending troops early was naturally very much in line with his wishes.

"Lord, don't drive Tian Feng to ask to see you outside!" Just when Yuan Shaozhi was complacent and wanted to say some words of encouragement, the guards guarding the door came in to report.

"Didn't I tell him not to come to see me for a while?" Yuan Shao frowned, with a little dissatisfaction.

As soon as this Tian Feng was mentioned, Yuan Shao was angry in his heart, after defeating Gongsun Zhan, he began to prepare for the defeat of Cao Cao, others all agreed with each other, only Tian Feng was desperately dissuaded, and again and again, Yuan Shao was annoyed no matter how good his patience was, he was too lazy to look at the other party's old face, let him go home and face the wall, he didn't expect that he would come uninvited at this meeting.

"This, Lord Tian is lying outside the door and not leaving, and he asks to see the lord alive!" The guard hesitated for a moment and said.

"Huh?" After hearing this, Yuan Shao's attitude was a little shaken, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Tian Feng, this guy, won't he have figured it out this time and come to apologize to me?" ”

"Then let him in!" After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Shao still decided to let Tian Feng in, if the other party really realized his mistake and approved him to send troops, he could just forgive the other party and form a good story for the chief minister.

"See the lord!" After a while, Tian Feng hurriedly walked in and bowed.

"Yuan Hao doesn't have to be polite!" Yuan Shao smiled. I have to say that Yuan Shao's smile is very distinctive, gentle and elegant, coupled with Yuan Shao's spontaneous celebrity demeanor between gestures, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Lord, this time I still hope that you will not send troops to attack Cao Cao immediately, the time is 、、、、" Tian Feng stood up, did not talk nonsense, and still said a lot of his own opinions to dissuade Yuan Shao from dissuading the idea of sending troops.

"Enough!"

Listening to Tian Feng's harsh words, Yuan Shao's previous smile immediately became stiff, his face became more and more ugly, and finally he was completely angry, he couldn't help but pat the table in front of him, stood up and roared: "Tian Yuanhao, why are you still so obsessed, why can't I attack Cao Cao?" ”

"It's not that the lord can't attack Cao Cao, but the timing is not good at this time, Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu at the beginning, and after several months of cultivation, at this time his troops are extremely strong, attacking is not the best policy, it is better to select a few elite troops, through the Yellow River to take turns to attack, so that Cao Cao is tired, so that he consumes, with the strength and strength of the lord in the four states of Hebei, it will not take two years to drag Cao Cao down, so as to defeat Cao Cao safely, it can be said that he surrendered without a fight." Tian Feng was not angry by Yuan Shao, Gu Zi said.

"Our army has more than 500,000 troops, which is twice as much as Cao Cao, and our army's grain, grass and ordnance are several times that of Cao Cao, occupying such an advantage, you let me not fight Cao Cao, and choose this method that I don't know is effective and ineffective to slowly consume Cao Cao?" Yuan Shao laughed angrily and shouted.

Who is Cao Cao? After the eunuch, when he was a child, he was Yuan Shao's follower, and when he grew up, he was Yuan Shao's younger brother, when the princes asked for Dong, he Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, and Cao Cao was just a staff officer. He Yuan Shao's reputation will be lost even more.

"Lord Mingjian, this method is extremely safe and effective, and if it is a battlefield duel, if it cannot be fulfilled, then it will be too late to regret it, after all, the victory or defeat of the war does not depend solely on military strength." Tian Feng persuaded again.

"Bastard!" If Yuan Shao was only angry and didn't want to do anything with Tian Feng before, now Yuan Shao is really going to be angry, he said in a cold tone: "The victory or defeat of the war does not depend on troops, then what do you mean is that I am not good as the commander, and I am not as good as Cao Cao?" ”

"The subordinates didn't say that、、、" Tian Feng saw that Yuan Shao had misunderstood what he meant and wanted to explain.

"Shut up, don't say any more!" At this time, Yuan Shao could still listen to it, and immediately shouted directly: "Guards, block Tian Feng's mouth, and then put him in prison for me!" ”

"Lord, lord, hmm, hmm、、、" Tian Feng was in a hurry, and wanted to speak, but two big men with tigers and bears took out a rag strip and directly slapped him in the mouth and dragged him down.

"How can it be!" Seeing Tian Feng being dragged down, Yuan Shao was still a little puzzled in his heart, and smashed the table in front of him.

The dragon has reverse scales, and he is dead when touched, and he Yuan Shao also has it, this Tian Feng actually underestimated him so much, and felt that he might lose to Cao Cao if he occupied such a big advantage, which undoubtedly touched his reverse scales, if it weren't for him Yuan Shao has always treated people with generosity and cherished his wings, I am afraid that the other party would have been executed a long time ago.

"Hey!" The frustrated professor in the audience looked at Tian Feng's tragic situation, and finally sighed helplessly. In fact, his views are the same as Tian Feng's, but 、、、
