Hearing Yuan Mai's summons, Zhou Cang took a step forward and presented the items wrapped in the baggage in his hand.

"What's in the package?" Tian Feng was a little strange, it looked a bit like a sword, but it seemed to be slightly shorter than a sword.

Yuan Mai slowly opened the baggage, and what appeared in front of him was a shining "golden whip". It is about three feet long, has a total of seven sections, is made of bronze, and is decorated with gold on the outside, and weighs thirteen catties. It was Yuan Mai who ordered the Han blacksmith to carefully build it in the past few days and dedicated it to Tian Feng.

"Childe, what does this mean?" Tian Feng looked surprised, he didn't understand what kind of medicine Yuan bought in the gourd?

Yuan Mai held the golden whip in the palms of both hands, raised it above his head, and respectfully sent it to Tian Feng: "Mr. Yuan Hao, please accept this whip." This is what I ordered the blacksmith to build for you. ”

"Feng is not on the battlefield, but a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, what is the use of this golden whip? Does Childe want to go into battle to kill the enemy? ”

Yuan Maiwan smiled: "Mr. Yuan Hao should not misunderstand, I gave this whip a name, called 'beating the king of the golden whip', no matter who makes a mistake, you can beat the gluttonous minister with this whip, and you can beat the unconscious." No matter what position I buy in the future, I will be the overlord of one side, and as long as I make a mistake, my husband can whip me with this. Never resist! ”

Listening to Yuan Mai's words, Tian Feng's heart was shocked, he couldn't imagine that this decisive son of the Yuan family trusted him so much, compared to his previous actions, he was a little stingy. hurriedly gave a salute: "The son's words are serious, how can Feng He De, dare to be the son so elevated!" ”

Yuan Mai raised the golden whip above his head and said firmly: "Mr. is talented." His father's command is second to none, and if he wants to achieve a hegemony, he still needs the assistance of Mr. Yuan Hao. The reason why I offered the golden whip today is because I want my husband to see his determination to buy it. The killing of his brother Yuan Xi this time was a last resort. From now on, if I make another mistake, please punish me! ”

Tian Feng resolutely refused to accept it: "Son, put it away quickly, Feng will never dare to be." As long as the son cares about the people of the world, I will do my best to assist you. ”

Yuan Mai was waiting for Tian Feng's words, and he looked at Tian Feng deeply at the moment: "I can get the sincere assistance of Mr." It's a privilege to buy three lives. Hegemony is also profitable! This golden whip is Mr.'......", turned his head and beckoned Zhou Cang to come over, "Send this golden whip to Mr. Yuan Hao's barracks!" ”

"No!" Zhou Cang agreed and took the golden whip. Rewrap in the baggage. Striding away.

Tian Feng sighed with emotion: "If you talk about resourcefulness. Frustrated and above me, although Feng is a little smart, he has a stubborn temper. Sometimes he doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and he often angers the lord. And Frustrated Gong and I have a lot more slick accidents than me. And it is even more rare to be able to clean oneself and not be in the same stream with the judges, Fengji and others! ”

Of course, Yuan Mai also knew that the strategy of Fu Zhu was not under Tian Feng, but it was a pity that these two elites could not be reused by Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao could adopt the words of the two of them, he would not lose so badly in history. Tentatively asked, "I don't know how Mr. Yuan Hao has a personal relationship with Mr. Yu Gong?" ”

"I have a very personal relationship with my husband and brother, if I have the opportunity to tell him about the ambition of the son, if I can get the assistance of my father and brother, it is better than ten times rich!" Tian Feng stroked his beard and took the initiative to make a suggestion to recruit frustration.

Yuan Mai was overjoyed, if he could get the assistance of these two people, he would no longer be afraid of the second Yuan, and saluted Tian Feng again: "If so, it is fortunate to buy three lives." The two gentlemen are my Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, why worry about the world! ”

"Sleeping dragon and phoenix? Who? Tian Feng looked surprised.

It is estimated that at this time, Brother Zhu and Pang Tong are seventeen or eighteen years old, and they don't know where to study, thinking that their names have not yet been spread in the world, Yuan Mai was excited for a while, and accidentally reported the nicknames of these two, Tian Feng naturally did not hear of it.

"Huh...... I used the dragon and phoenix as a metaphor for the talents of the two gentlemen, and I did not refer to anyone in particular. Yuan Mai had an idea and explained casually.

Tian Feng said modestly: "The son has praised it falsely, how can I and my brother and I dare to praise it." I thought that the only way to do this was to find a foothold before I could compete with the two brothers. Even if you have the power of the army, but there is no county, it is difficult to make a difference in the lonely and poor army! ”

"What Mr. said is that Yuan Tan occupied Qingzhou, Gao Gan occupied Bingzhou, and Yuan Shang occupied Jizhou. Where should I occupy? Yuan Mai humbly asked. See what this wise man had to say.

"Yifeng only saw that when you replace the county, Fan Yang will be pictured, and Youzhou will be the foundation, so that you can compete with your two brothers!"

Yuan Mai pressed the hilt of the Chongxiao sword on his waist and asked worriedly: "The high walls of the Daijun City are thick, and Tian Yu is good at using soldiers, how can he take it?" ”

Tian Feng offered a good strategy: "Feng thought that when Zhang He had not yet arrived, he would lead these 10,000 men and horses north to meet Hao Zhao, attack Dai County with all his might, and strive to take Dai County before Zhang He rushed to Yanmen." Lu Yi has already led his troops out of Yanmen to attack the Huns, and our soldiers fought in two ways, and did not go against the will of the lord, and he was not afraid of someone offering slander in front of the lord. If you can take Daijun before Zhang He arrives, and you have a foothold, you can hand over this force and don't worry! Compared with the army, our army needs the latter more at present. ”

"The city of Daijun is thick and the walls are thick, and Tian Yu is good at using soldiers, so it may not be easy to break the Daijun. I'm afraid that it will be a situation where 10,000 enemies are killed and 8,000 are self-inflicted! Yuan Mai stroked the sparse beard under his chin and said.

Tian Feng said with a smile: "I have a way, the two counties of Shanggu and Yuyang in the north of Dai County are occupied by Yan Rou and Liu He, and the two of them are very respectful to the lord, and the prince can pass on the name to them, replacing the two counties of the county and Fanyang, and if it is successful, they will share the money, grain, and city." The two of them have always hated Gongsun Zhan, and Liu He even has a grudge against Gongsun for killing his father, so they will not refuse. ”

"Yes, sir!" Yuan Mai was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised with his palm. It's really exciting to finally have the hope of grabbing your own turf.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. Although Tian Feng's strategy was good, he did not expect an unexpected change. This tribe of refugees from the east did come to escape the war, but it was not the battle between Hao Zhao and Tian Yu. In fact, before Hao Zhao's men and horses arrived in Daijun, the city was taken by Yan Rou and Liu He.

The people and scholars of Daijun have always missed the kindness of Liu Yu, the pastor of Yuanzhou, and are extremely dissatisfied with Gongsun Zhan's rule. Liu He and Yan Rou took advantage of the people's longing psychology to send envoys to infiltrate the city, make an appointment with the internal response, and the two sides should cooperate with each other, breaking the Daijun in one fell swoop, and Tian Yu led the army to retreat. On the way, he was ambushed by the Xianbei King Kebineng, who was invited by Yan Rou, and suffered heavy casualties.

Just when Tian Yu's retreat was blocked, Yan Rou led his troops to Fan Yang City, took Tian Yu's seal, lied that he was a defeated soldier who retreated from Dai County, opened the city gate, killed Taishou Han Song in one fell swoop, and controlled Fan Yang in his hands.

Tian Yu led his troops to desperately break through the siege, and only 7,000 of the 20,000 horses remained, and they retreated to Yijing in embarrassment. As a result, Gongsun Zhan's power fell to the bottom, and there was only one city left in his hand, 50,000 horses, deeper ditches and high bases, extensive accumulation of grain and grass, and no longer dispatched, holding the determination to defend to the death.

Liu He and Yan Rou are now subordinate to Yuan Shao, although the military power is independent, but on the surface, Yuan Shao is regarded as the main duke, and after taking the Daijun, he asked Yuan Shao for the title. Yuan Shao had no choice but to canonize Yan Rou as the Taishou of Daijun and Liu He as the Taishou of Fan Yang. Since then, the western part of Youzhou has gradually fallen into the hands of Liu Yu's old department. Since Daijun fell into the hands of his colleagues, Hao Zhao led his army back to Yanmen and waited for orders.

Originally, he was full of joy and planned to take Daijun as a foothold, but who knew that Liu He and Yan Rou would take the lead, Yuan Mai couldn't help but be very disappointed, and sighed: "Heaven is not with me, what can I do?" ”

Tian Feng comforted: "Don't be in a hurry, wait for the opportunity, and then try a good strategy, the north is so big, is there no place for the son?" ”

Everything was as Tian Feng expected, and things changed unexpectedly. Zhang He led his troops out of Shangdang, ran to the West River to attack the Xiongnu, annoyed the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo, and then mobilized 50,000 Xiongnu troops to fight a decisive battle with Zhang He in the west of Shangdang.

The Huns are strong, tall and horse-like, good at galloping, excellent mounts, and more superior troops, and Zhang He fought a battle, won a complete victory, Zhang He was defeated and left, and retreated to the party.

In order to boost morale, Yu Fuluo learned that Yuan Xi was killed in an ambush by the Huns, not only did he defend himself, but he also publicized it even more, rewarded a group of warriors who "ambushed Yuan Xi", rewarded thousands of gold, gave beauties, and made a lot of noise, so everyone in the world knew that Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi died at the hands of the Huns.

There are many rumors that the three of them have become tigers, not to mention that the Hun tribes say so. After the news reached Yecheng, those who were still suspicious of Yuan Mai and Ko Yi began to waver, thinking that they were wrong to blame Yuan Mai. The rumors that Yuan Mai was the murderer of his brother were suddenly dispelled, which greatly weakened the pressure of public opinion on Yuan Mai's back. This made Yuan Mai a little grateful to the Huns.

The Huns defeated Zhang He, with great momentum and high morale, took advantage of the situation to pursue, surrounded Shangdang, and prepared to break the city in one fell swoop. When Yuan Shao heard the news, he was shocked, and ordered the state pastor to send troops to aid the party. He also passed on the text, ordering Yuan Mai and Liyi to lead the men and horses of Yanmen to the south quickly, rendezvous with Zhang He and Gao Gan, and fight a decisive battle against the Xiongnu army.

The originally quiet situation in the world suddenly burst into flames, and it came so suddenly. Not only did there be a war in Bingzhou, but Xuzhou in the east was also in flames. Cao Cao and Liu Bei's two armies combined to attack Xuzhou, but Lü Bu was unfavorable and retreated. The envoy asked Yuan Shu for help, but was refused. Then he sent people to Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang for help.

Zhang Yang had only more than 10,000 troops, and he was afraid of Cao Cao's forces, but he was friendly with Lu Bu and couldn't bear to see Lu Bu fall. Then he sent troops to Dongshi, echoing from afar, in an attempt to disperse Cao Cao's forces and relieve the pressure on Xuzhou.

The news reached Yuan Mai's ears, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "God help me, take Hanoi as soon as possible, think that you are fundamental!" ”

Immediately ordered the three armies to move south quickly, first, to relieve the siege of Shangdang, and second, after Zhang Yang was killed, to seize Hanoi County before Cao Cao and use it as a foothold. (To be continued......)
