PS: Thank you Jioyo for the monthly pass and reward, thank you for listening to the rain rose! It's the third watch, ask for a monthly pass!

Yuan Shao ordered Zhang Hexi to attack the Xiongnu Youxian King to go to Bei, and did not let Yuan Mai and Lu Yi be idle, and gave them two tasks, the first was to continue to attack Daijun and attract Gongsun Zhan's attention to the west, and the second was to go west out of Yanmen Pass and attack Huchuquan, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King.

The military order is like a mountain, it is about to touch Yuan Shao's scales, Yuan Mai and Koji Yi did not dare to disobey again, so the troops were divided into two roads, led by Liyi and Wang Shuang 10,000 people out of Yanmen Pass to attack the Hun Zuoxian King Huchuquan. Hao Zhao, Zhao Zhao, and Tian Chou led the original Northern Expeditionary Army of 17,000 people to continue northward, entering the territory of Dai County, destroying spring ploughing and containing Gongsun Zhan. Yuan Mai and Tian Feng led the remaining 10,000 horses and horses, and continued to sit in the Yin Pavilion of the Yanmen Governance Office, receiving two groups of men and horses to supply grain and grass.

Why did he only let Ko Yi take 10,000 horses out of Yanmen, instead of pouring out of the nest? Yuan Mai and Lu Yi judged that the reason why Yuan Shao ordered two troops to attack the Xiongnu was nothing more than to save face, not to really want to expel the Xiongnu from Bingzhou.

After all, Yuan Xi's current official conclusion is that he died in an ambush by the Huns, and as the overlord of the north, Yuan Shao will definitely be laughed at by the princes if he does not say anything. His son was killed by the barbarians, and it is indeed unreasonable to be Lao Tzu still standing still.

In addition, Yuan Mai and Lu Yi also speculated that Yuan Shao's second purpose was to let Zhang He find a reason to take over the 20,000 people, making it clear that he didn't want to see Yuan Mai and Lu Yi have more military power in their hands.

While Yuan Mai carried out Yuan Shao's orders, he thought about how to keep his military power. It is indeed a thorny problem not to disobey Yuan Shao's orders, but also to become the commander of 20,000 people. It's a pity that the resourceful Tian Feng has a grudge against his killing of Yuan Xi, and he has been silent for the past few days, let alone offer advice.

Because of the killing of Yuan Xi, Tian Feng was quite disappointed in Yuan Mai, but he was only disappointed, not to the point of tearing his face.

After getting along during this time, Tian Feng felt in his heart that Yuan Mai was a person who could achieve great things and was resourceful. There are means. He is courageous, ambitious, and very benevolent to the people and soldiers, and has the demeanor of a wise king. And when it is broken, it is broken. This is many times stronger than his indecisive Lao Tzu!

The only thing that made Tian Feng dissatisfied was Yuan Mai's ruthlessness. The killing was too decisive. Treat the enemy ruthlessly and mercilessly. pit and kill innocent soldiers, without even blinking an eye; A dagger stabbed his brother to death. Not a single tear will be shed. If you serve such a monarch in the future, you must be more careful, and accompany the monarch like a tiger, if one day violates his will, he will definitely not show mercy.

But Tian Feng is not a pedantic saint and gentleman after all, but a study of politics. A politician who governs the way of law, and a strategist who studies the art of using soldiers. Therefore, although he was dissatisfied with Yuan Mai's decisiveness, he did not show hostility, let alone think of informing. It's just that he is a little more estranged from Yuan Mai, wait and see the changes in Yuan Mai, and continue to investigate him to see if he is worthy of serving himself?

In a blink of an eye, it has entered April, and the weather is slowly getting warmer.

Tian Feng took his cronies to inspect the camp for a while, and then climbed the Yanmen city wall to look west, only to see a large number of people in the east rushing to this side, helping the old and the young, and the people were panicking, so they knew that something must have happened in the east.

"Is Mr. Yuan Hao looking at these refugees?" I don't know when, Yuan Mai has quietly appeared by Tian Feng's side.

Tian Feng didn't look back at Yuan Mai, but nodded: "However, looking at the dress of this group of refugees, it is not the people of our state, but more like the residents of Youzhou. ”

"Maybe it's to avoid the war, Hao Bodao and others led their troops into the territory of Dai County, and they inevitably had to fight with Tian Yu." Yuan Mai guessed randomly, and his tone changed suddenly: "Mr. Yuan Hao has been sullen recently, is he still angry that I killed my brother?" ”

Tian Feng looked into the distance and sighed: "The past, don't mention it!" ”

Yuan Mai coughed, looking worried about the country and the people: "There is a saying, have you ever heard of it?" ”

"Let's talk about it!"

"Use thunderbolt means to show the bodhisattva's heart!" Yuan Mai said it word by word. It is estimated that this sentence has not yet appeared in this era, but this sentence has a great philosophy, and it is estimated that it will be very effective if it is used to fool a loyal person like Tian Feng.

Tian Feng was really attracted by this sentence, and muttered to himself several times: "Use thunderbolt means to show the heart of the Bodhisattva? Use thunderbolt means to show the bodhisattva's heart......" When he spoke, his eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to have some understanding.

Yuan Mai nodded: "Yes, it's exactly this sentence!" I killed my second brother, not to seize power, first, to protect myself, and secondly, to save the people of the world! ”

Tian Feng's tone was a little cold: "Becoming a king and defeating a king, it is not uncommon for the ancient brothers to fight against the wall, Gongzi Xi ambushes you in front, and you kill him later, there is a cause and effect." I don't approve of this, but I can understand it. But Mai Gongzi said that it was not to seize power, but to protect himself, and even mentioned it for the sake of the people of the world, is this a bit hypocritical? According to what you mean, could it be that Gongzi Fei Xi is a threat to the common people in the world? ”

"Mr. Yuan Hao, have you ever thought about my previous situation?" Yuan Mai knew Tian Feng's temper, and he would never give face to anyone after he came up, otherwise he would not have died in the cell before the battle of Guandu. So I'm not angry, I just plan to talk to him.

Seeing that Tian Feng was silent, Yuan Mai continued to tell the story: "Because I am a concubine, I have been despised at home since I was a child, lack of food and clothing, and I cannot be treated when I am sick...... Ahem...... even outsiders don't even know that my father has a son like me. At the birthday banquet that day, the husband also met, and all the adults were guests, but the buyer was an outsider, and he was not even qualified to enter the banquet to celebrate his father's birthday, what a sad thing? ”

After listening to Yuan Mai's words, Tian Feng's face looked a little better. He knows about Yuan Mai's situation, under the strong squeeze of Liu's mother and son, Yuan Mai's life is very miserable, so it is understandable that he planted the seeds of hatred for Liu's mother and son.

"In recent years, my father's health has deteriorated, if his father dies one day, will Liu's mother and son be able to tolerate Yuan Mai?" Yuan Mai asked.

Tian Feng also knew about Liu's mother and son's formation of a party for personal gain, and he had won the support of the trial and Feng Ji and others, and many generals were also Yuan Shang's henchmen, and gradually became powerful. Tian Feng was quite dissatisfied with this, but he could only let it go, but he just refused to go along with it.

Listening to Yuan Mai say this at this moment, think about it carefully, if Yuan Shang really inherits Yuan Shao's position, I am afraid that Yuan Mai will definitely not be able to tolerate Yuan Mai's military power, even if his life is only worried.

"Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are compatriots, if I am enemies with Yuan Shang, he will definitely help Yuan Shang to defeat me. At that time, I am afraid that I can only sit back and wait for the purchase, and at that time, how many people in the world are willing to say a few fair words for buying? If you want to achieve hegemony, you can't have the kindness of a woman! Yuan Mai let the spring breeze blow his hair, and said with a solemn face.

Tian Feng sighed: "If the lord establishes an heir as soon as possible, he may be able to avoid the tragedy of brotherly rivalry, but unfortunately he refuses to accept my words after all." ”

"Mr. Yuan Hao, how do I compare with Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan?"

Yuan Mai didn't wait for Tian Feng to answer, and said to himself: "Yuan Shang is pampered and arrogant, and loves to be famous; Yuan Tan is brave and ruthless, greedy for power and talentless; Compared to them, I care about the people of the world, I can endure ordinary people, I can bend and stretch, I can be civil and martial, I am decisive in killing, I am more like a master! ”

Yuan Mai said impassionedly, and then pointed to the people who came from the east outside the city: "Sir, you see, the people are helping the old and the young, there are vegetables on their faces, the world is full of wars, hunger is everywhere, there are white bones on the road, how miserable are the people?" Only by dominating the world can we save all the people from fire and water. Compared with Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shanglai, I have more ability, and I should inherit my father's great cause, sweep the world, and save the world from dire straits! ”

Tian Feng was silent. Through this period of contact, he recognized Yuan Mai's ability, he said that his ability was above the other three brothers, and Tian Feng also agreed, but if he wanted to say that he could sweep the world, Tian Feng would not dare to agree, at least at present, Yuan Mai's ability was not enough.

However, it is also a skill to be able to blow the cowhide so high-sounding and impassioned. Tian Feng couldn't help but snicker in his heart, "These four sons are very good at their mouths, and in just a while, I actually said that I am enthusiastic!" ”

"Even though I have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, but I don't meet the talent, the pearl is secretly cast, my father doesn't like it, and my brother oppresses behind. In desperation, I can only seize it myself, otherwise I can only be slaughtered by others! I killed Yuan Xi, not to fight for the military power of 20,000 people, but to fight for the military power in the north, for the foundation of the Yuan family, and for the hegemony of the world. After I have a heavy army, I will inevitably sweep Liuhe, and return the world to a peace, so that the people can have enough food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment! ”

The spring breeze was very strong, blowing Yuan Mai's clothes fluttering, and his long hair was flying. But he clenched his fists as if he had mastered the world.

At this moment, Tian Feng was persuaded and decided to continue to follow Yuan Mai, push him to the position of the heir of the Yuan family, and dedicate his ability to the peace of the world. If you can be a Xiangguo like Xiao He and Cao Shen, and help the world, you can be regarded as living up to what you have learned in your life.

Seeing the change in Tian Feng's face, Yuan Mai knew that he was moved by what he said, and shouted to Zhou Cang, who was not far behind him: "Yuan Fu, bring the things over, I'll give them to Mr. Yuan Hao!" ”

"Oh...... Give it to me, I don't know what it is? Tian Feng looked surprised, he didn't know what Yuan Mai was going to give to himself, what kind of medicine was bought in the gourd? (To be continued......)
