Chapter 31: Delegation of power to Chen Nuo
Yuan Shao is indeed sick, and he is not lightly ill.
The battle outside Nanpi City was originally a battle for Yuan Shao, but in the end, because of Lu Weihuang's death, his entire idea was broken, making everything no longer possible. And he, after vomiting blood outside Nanpi City, fainted. Even when he returned to the city, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, and his condition worsened, and finally he couldn't afford to be sick, so he just kept lying on the sickbed.
Yuan Shao, who was on the sickbed, looked much worse, and his spirit became sluggish. When Feng Ji reported the intelligence inside and outside the city to him, Yuan Shao always looked like he was in a trance, as if he was listening but not listening, anyway, he was a little absent-minded. When Feng Ji saw Yuan Shaoruo, he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, but it was not easy to accuse him on his face. On his side, he cautiously stepped forward and said one more thing to him: "Gongsun Zhan's actions have been quite unusual recently, I am afraid that he knows the news that Yuan Gongyou are seriously ill, and he has deceived me that there is no one in Nanpi City, and I am afraid that I will launch a large-scale attack in the last two days." Yuan Gong, look ......"
Yuan Shao was on the couch, and when he heard Feng Ji say this, his eyes slowly turned, and he was already looking at Feng Ji at this time. Yuan Shao didn't speak, his eyes were weird, Feng Ji's heart was also abrupt, and he swallowed what he was going to say: "This, Yuan Gong's ......" Yuan Shao sighed lightly and said: "Gongsun Zhan is afraid that he is not bullying me that there is no one in Nanpi City, but that I will not use people." Yuan Tu, now that you have seen my situation, I have the heart to go to the front line and share the hardships with the generals, but I am afraid that I will not be able to get it. For the sake of today's plan, I Nanpicheng can't no one stand up to temporarily replace me in command of the three armies, as Yuan Tu you see, who in the army has this talent to be responsible for this important task, you might as well boldly say it. ”
Feng Ji heard Yuan Shao say this, and he was slightly stunned. Who Yuan Shao is, others don't know, but he knows it. He usually grasps power like something, for fear that he will divide power, and now let him delegate power once he wants, which shows that he is really forced to come to the point where he has to let go, and it can also be seen that Yuan Shao is powerless. The impact of Lu Weihuang's death on Yuan Shao, as a confidant, Feng Ji knew more or less, but Feng Ji didn't expect that his death would actually make Yuan Shao so decadent, which made Feng Ji very uneasy. He really wanted to 'teach' Yuan Shao a few words, tell Yuan Shao the simple truth that 'victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers', and then watch him cheer up and face the current predicament together. However, as soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, Feng Ji's whole person was also shocked, knowing that Yuan Shao had completely withdrawn himself from the matter, and he didn't want to cheer up again, or he was really powerless, so he could only be sick on the bed.
Feng Ji sighed sincerely in his heart, wanting to comfort him, but looking at Yuan Shao's decadent look, he knew that even if he persuaded at this time, he was afraid that it would be useless, and he would not listen. He glanced at Yuan Shao, nodded before he nodded, and said: "Yuan Gong's condition is still unstable, he needs to rest on the couch, and the thieves have a tendency to attack on a large scale at this time, so it is indeed necessary to guard against it." Only our three armies have no owner for a while because of Yuan Gong's illness, and at this time, we really need a person who dares to fight to come out and temporarily replace Yuan Gong to command the three armies to resist the enemy. If Yuan Gong asked Ji to recommend, Ji would not be presumptuous, and he would be among the three armies...... Only General Yan Liang is up to the task. ”
"Yan Liang?"
Yuan Shao's eyes shot an imperceptible light, stared at Feng Ji for a moment, then laughed, shook his head and said: "I remember that when I wanted to reuse Yan Liang and Wen Chou several times, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu all suggested to me, saying that these two people are brave and brave, but they are brave." Although I disagree with their words, there is some truth to them, and I can't help but think about them. If it is a charge, maybe Yuantu will agree to your opinion without thinking. But now...... Now the thief army is several times that of our army, and brave in our army, our army can only stick to Nanpi, in order to wait for the times to change, in order to have the possibility of reversal, if this city is handed over to Yan Liang, I am afraid that this fight will be a small battle in three days, a big battle in five days, no need to spend the winter, tens of thousands of horses in my Nanpi City have also been exhausted by him, and the city has long been lost to the hands of thieves. At that time, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to stay in this city in peace, so how can I recuperate? ”
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both Yuan Shao's henchmen, of course, Feng Ji is very clear about this, since Chun Yuqiong's death, Yuan Shao has been deliberately reusing the two of them. Now, Yuan Shao wants him to recommend talents, of course he has to obey Yuan Shao's mind and list Yan Liang and Wen Chou as the first choice. Of course, Wen Chou is still recuperating from his injuries, so it is naturally difficult to recommend him, so he has to recommend Yan Liang first. Although Feng Ji thinks that it is a bit against his will to do this, he has to do so. I thought that he had done this, Yuan Shao was satisfied, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shao would say such a thing when he came, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then said: "Yuan Gong is thinking about it very much, and Ji can't do it." However, in addition to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the generals in the army can be reused, and the rest are ...... Ji Yiyi really couldn't think of it. Speaking of this, he hurriedly added, "It's a pity that the eldest prince is guarding Qingzhou and can't get away for a while, otherwise it would be more appropriate for him to temporarily replace Yuan Gong to exercise this responsibility." ”
Yuan Shao snorted lightly and said, "Even if my rebel son comes, what use can it be?" But I asked you to recommend talents, how do you think about it, there are so many people? I think that in addition to Yan Liang, Wen Chou and a few other people in our army, is there really no general who can be used? Feng Ji's heart was pounding, and he was a little unpredictable about Yuan Shao. He usually boasts that he knows Yuan Shao best, but today...... He really couldn't figure out what Yuan Shao was thinking. Could it be that when did Yuan Shao change his personality, and in such a major matter, the first thing he considered was not a confidant general? Or, his henchmen, did he still take into account?
Feng Ji lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, and thought about Yuan Shao's subordinates one by one in his heart. Now Yuan Shao's subordinate generals, who can be regarded as the number one, are none other than Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Lu Yi, Gao Lan, Zhang He and so on. Zhang He and Lu Yi don't need to be mentioned, they have already been labeled as 'Chen Nuo', as for Gao Ran, compared to Wen Chou and Yan Liang, they are really not enough to reach the word 'confidant' by Yuan Shao's side, let alone reuse. In this way, only Wen Chou and Yan Liang are left. But these two were denied by Yuan Shao's words at once, so apart from them, who else is worthy of Yuan Shao's 'entrustment'? Feng Ji thought of this, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if there was another person he had ignored.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are Yuan Shao's subordinates, but Chen Nuo is also Yuan Shao's subordinates.
Could it be that Yuan Shao is referring to ...... No way! As soon as Feng Ji thought of Chen Nuo, he immediately denied it. Who is Yuan Shao, what kind of jealousy he has for Chen Nuo, these Feng Ji is the most clear, at this critical moment, how can Yuan Shao easily let Chen Nuo give up his military power to Chen Nuo alone? Just kidding, this must be a joke! Without waiting for this concept to be implemented in his heart, Feng Ji immediately expelled it completely. However, he then asked himself again: "At this critical moment, can a reusable talent be found in addition to a second person Chen Nuo?" ”
Once this concept emerges, it lingers. He looked at Yuan Shao suspiciously, only to see that Yuan Shao also cast his eyes over. As soon as his eyes made contact slightly, Feng Ji read Yuan Shao's thoughts from them. It seems that Yuan Shao really thinks so. Isn't that a little too crazy, or really hard to believe? Yuan Shao also seemed to read Feng Ji's own doubts from Feng Ji's eyes, and immediately said, "You must have thought of him, right?" You would think that at this critical juncture, he is the only one who can lead everyone out of the predicament, right? You know it, but why don't you say it? I know, you don't say it because you don't think I'm going to appoint him, right? It's no wonder, who called Chen Nuo, this kid is really uneasy? So even if you think about it, you don't say it easily. ”
"This ...... Maybe that's why Gongsun Chan deceived me and dared to take advantage of my illness to prepare for a large-scale attack on my Nanpi City? Because for him, he must have thought that even if I, Yuan Shao, were sick, I would never let go of power easily, let alone put power in the hands of a person I didn't trust, but a powerful person. Therefore, for him, he deceived me and would not appoint Chen Nuo, so he dared to boldly attack my Nanpi City. However, if I do Gongsun Zhan's wish, I really maintain my personal prejudices, and at this critical juncture, I still refuse to let go of power, refuse to appoint Chen Nuo, and let him come nonsense, my rights can be guaranteed, but my Nanpicheng and Jizhou may not be guaranteed! Yuan Tu, I'm afraid that you will have the same opinion as Gongsun Zhan, you also think that I will never give power to Chen Nuo at this juncture, right? ”
"I ......"
Feng Ji was about to open his mouth to argue, not wanting Yuan Shao to give him a chance to explain at all, so he quickly shook his head and said, "Actually, it's nothing, you will guess this, that's because with my Yuan Shao's temper, it is not surprising that I will indeed do this." But...... I just can't do Gongsun Chan's wish this time, but I want to surprise him, so that he can't guess what I did. This time, I not only want to appoint Chen Nuo, but also completely let go, let him go all the defense of Nanpi City, and let him concentrate on fighting against the thief enemy. I want to see how far Chen Nuo can go, and Gongsun Zhan, how capable he is! ”
Feng Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he really couldn't see through Yuan Shao's sudden arrangement. He, Yuan Shao, is he really such a knowledgeable person, or is he Yuan Shao really relieved to be Chen Nuo? However, no matter what Yuan Shao decides, he is right, if at this juncture, he Yuan Shao is still acting according to the previous strategy, and the current difficulties are really difficult to overcome. He dared to appoint Chen Nuo at this time, probably because he was forced to gamble with himself, right?
