Why did Tian Yu finally change his attitude after hearing Liu He talk about Ximen Leopard? This is related to an interesting incident that Liu He remembers.

In Liu He's deep memory, Tian Yu, the Taizhong doctor of Wei Guo, was already eighty-two years old when he died. When Tian Yu was dying, he left a will to his wife and said: "When I die, I must be buried next to the ancestral hall of Ximen Leopard." Hearing this, his wife looked embarrassed and blamed Tian Yu: "Ximen Leopard is worshiped as a god by future generations, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to bury you next to his temple, right?" Tian Yu understood his wife's distress, and said the last sentence of his life: "Simon Leopard does the same thing as me, if people die and have spirits, when I get there, he must have a good relationship with me." After saying this, Tian Yu smiled and passed away.

Ximen Leopard was a native of Wei during the Warring States Period, a famous politician and water conservancy in history, and had made great achievements. There is a saying in the "Historical Records" that "three do not deceive": "The children govern Zheng, and the people cannot be deceived; The son governs the single father, and the people cannot bear to be bullied; Ximen Leopard ruled Ye, and the people did not dare to bully. "Ximen Leopard, who can be evaluated by Ma Qian of Taishi Company, has the same status as Confucius's disciples, even if he is not a saint, he is also a sage, so future generations of scholars will respect Ximen Leopard so much.

Before Tian Yu died, he wanted his wife to bury himself next to Ximen Leopard's temple, which shows how profound the influence of Ximen Leopard was on his life, Liu He suddenly mentioned his spiritual idol to Tian Yu, which naturally aroused Tian Yu's political ambition to be an official for one term and benefit one party, so he finally accepted Liu He's solicitation and was willing to switch to the camp and do things for Liu He from then on.

That night, Liu He left Tian Yu in the mansion, set up a banquet for him to catch the wind, and also called Li Ru, Guo Jia, Tian Chou and Xu Miao and others to accompany him, although the scene was not very big, but it was of great significance, which was equivalent to officially introducing Tian Yu to several henchmen.

Guo Jia was the most proud, because it was his idea to Liu He. took advantage of Liu Deran's matter to pry Tian Yu over from Liu Bei. Although Tian Yu was not tied up to Jicheng by Liu He, the thought of another unlucky guy being recruited by Liu He, Guo Jia's psychological "trauma" from being kidnapped seemed to have eased a lot.

Tian Yu had never seen Liu He get along with his subordinates before, and at the dinner, he found that although Li Ru, Guo Jia, Tian Chou and Xu Miao were very different in origin and age, they all talked and laughed, did not deliberately pay attention to words, and seemed to be able to let go, and behaved easily and naturally in front of Liu He.

Tian Yu felt that Liu He's easy-going was different from Liu Bei, and it didn't look like he was deliberately pretending at all. It's that he has this kind of temperament in normal times.

During the banquet, Liu He casually mentioned to Tian Chou: "Send someone to send a message to Zhang He of Zhuo County, and ask him to find a suitable opportunity to send Liu Deran out of Youzhou, and tell the public that Liu Deran was looking for an opportunity to escape on the way to Jicheng to be tortured." ”

Tian Chou nodded in response and didn't ask much.

The next morning, Liu He sent someone to escort Tian Yu out of Jicheng, allowing him to go back to Yongnu to visit his parents and relatives first, and then go to Diping to report to Xu Rong a month later.

Liu He is happy to be a good talent here, and he is naturally in a good mood. And Yuan Shao's side was worried about some bullshit things under his subordinates.

The first thing that annoyed Yuan Shao was the military general Wen Chou, who had returned to the state gloomily.

Wen Chou was captured twice before the battle, which not only greatly damaged the prestige of the "Two Heroes in the River", but also disgraced himself in the army, and even his identity as a general of Yuan Ying is now a little difficult to protect. Wen Chou fell into this field. It is not only related to Yuan Shao's good face, but also related to Liu and a group of subordinates teaming up to "trap" him.

When Xiahou Lan led his army north to the grassland to conquer Yan Rou, Zhao Yun made a plan according to Liu He's long-established plan in order to relieve the pressure on the western front of Youzhou. released Wen Chou, who had been detained in Gaoliu for half a year, and Yuan Shao was caught off guard.

After Wen Chou became a prisoner for the first time, he was imprisoned in the city of Gauntlet. It also dragged on for almost half a year before it was redeemed by Yuan Shao at a lot of cost. At that time, Yuan Shaoshang could endure Wen Chou's defeat, after all, no one dared to pat his chest and say that he would definitely be able to win a hundred battles. At that time, after Wen Chou returned to Yecheng, Yuan Shao did not blame him too much, and after comforting him, he continued to entrust him with the important task and transferred him to the northern line of Bingzhou, hoping that he would be ashamed.

It's a pity that Wen Chou lived up to Yuan Shao's expectations. When Yan Liang took it upon himself to lead the army from Jingcheng Road to Gaoyi's back, Wen Chou was taken prisoner again outside Gaoliu City, which completely disrupted Yuan Shao's deployment, not only made Yan Liang return in vain, but also affected the actions of the Koyi Army.

After Wen Chou was captured again, Youzhou also secretly sent a message, hoping that Yuan Shao would send someone to negotiate as soon as possible and redeem Wen Chou. Yuan Shao was annoyed by Wen Chou's incompetence in his heart, which not only made him lose face, but also affected his entire layout, so he didn't take action for a long time, and seemed to give up Wen Chou completely.

Wen Chou, who was imprisoned in Gaoliu City, did not suffer any physical and mental torture, and Zhao Yun occasionally came to the place where he was held with two roast chickens and a few pots of wine to drink a few cups with him, and then chatted about the situation in various places, but did not talk about the topic of surrender. The more polite the Youzhou side was, the more depressed and aggrieved Wen Chou felt in his heart, on the one hand, he felt a little guilty about letting Yuan Shao lose face again, and on the other hand, he was looking forward to Yuan Shao quickly sending someone to redeem himself, so that he could make meritorious contributions and regain face on the battlefield in the future.

Wen Chou waited, waited, many months passed, but Yuan Shao did not send someone to ransom him back, which made him very hurt, and he even wanted to die. However, Zhao Yun seemed to see through Wen Chou's thoughts, and intentionally or unintentionally stimulated Wen Chou to say that only cowards dare not face reality, and only the weak will use suicide to escape difficulties. Wen Chou was so provoked by Zhao Yun that he didn't want to die, so he continued to wait.

In the end, Wen Chou did not wait for Yuan Shao's rescue, but waited for him to regain his freedom.

On the day of the release of Wen Chou, Zhao Yun led 3,000 cavalry to invite Yan Liang to fight outside Baideng City, and Yan Liang, who was almost crazy and stimulated by Zhao Yun, rushed out to fight with Zhao Yun regardless of it, but was reprimanded by the Governor of the North Road. Xiao Ji asked Yan Liang: "Now that General Wen is still a hostage, if you lose this battle again, teach Yuan Gong how to deal with it?" ”

Yan Liang calmed down, thought about it carefully, and found that he really didn't have the certainty of victory for Shang Zhao Yun, his good brother Wen Chou was captured for the first time, it was because he didn't expect to encounter the pervert Tai Shici, and he was suddenly beaten in the chaos of the army, so he was captured. However, Wen Chou was captured by Zhao Yun for the second time, but he was defeated by Zhao Yun with a real sword and a real gun before the battle, and Zhao Yun's fame had already resounded on both sides of the Yellow River, and even the Xiliang Army knew his strength, so there was no possibility that Wen Chou could underestimate the enemy, which could only show that his skills were not as good as others. Since Zhao Yun can defeat Wen Chou, he may not be able to defeat Yan Liang again......

Yan Liang was stopped by Xiao Ji and couldn't fight, and Zhang Xu, another general in Gaoyanagi, was not easy to stand out, but tens of thousands of Yuan Jun watched Zhao Yun play his prestige outside the city, and actually released Wen Chou in front of everyone!

Zhao Yun said this before the two armies at that time: "The Yuan army camp is full of turtles with shrunken heads, which is really boring!" Since you don't dare to come to fight, I will let Wen Chou go, and next time I will come to learn the skills of the two heroes in the river! ”

Listening to the meaning of Zhao Yun's words, next time it turned out to be one against two, and at the same time to fight Yan Liang and Wen Chou!

Yuan Jun in Baideng City, from top to bottom, knew Wen Chou, and Yan Liang, who was looking down from the top of the Guan Tower, was a good brother of Wen Chou's worshipper, at this time they watched Wen Chou walk back on a horse from Zhao Yunjun's formation outside the city, and that mood was really indescribable.

The governor of the North Road, Xiao Ji, knew that Zhao Yun was slapping Zhao Yun in the face in the red fruit land, but there was nothing he could do, he didn't dare to send troops out of the city to fight Zhao Yun, and he couldn't give the city head crossbowmen an order to shoot Wen Chou, so he had to watch Zhao Yun lead the army to leave with a smile, and then let people approach Wen Chou to the city, and then send a fast horse to report this matter to Yuan Shao.

A few days later, Yuan Shao, who was in Yecheng, learned that Wen Chou was unconditionally released by Youzhou, and his heart was as disgusting as eating a green-headed fly, but he couldn't vomit it. Yuan Shao asked the strategists around him how to settle Wen Chou, and Tian Feng suggested that Wen Chou and Yan Liang should be separated, and not let him participate in the war with Youzhou in the future. Tian Feng's reason was that Wen Chou's courage had been broken, and if he encountered fierce generals such as Zhao Yun or Tai Shici on the battlefield in the future, he would only fail again.

Yuan Shao asked Tian Feng: "Since Wen Chou is bold, why do you want to transfer him to the West Road Camp as the chief general?" ”

Tian Feng replied: "Although the text is ugly and bold, there is still something to use. If the lord can't treat him well, he will not only lose his text and ugliness, but also lose his face, and he will just fall into Youzhou's divisive plan! ”

Yuan Shao hated and scolded a few words, Liu He was not a good person, so he had to appoint Wen Chou as the right chief general in front of the West Road Governor, and encouraged Wen Chou to kill more enemies in the future and atone for his crimes.

After Wen Chou received the appointment, he separated from his brother-in-law Yan Liang in Baideng City, and then came to Jinyang with the hope of a shame, but he was given a cold reception by Gao Gan.

Gao Gan is a dignified person, otherwise he will not be valued by Yuan Shao, who likes to judge people by his appearance, he looked at Wen Chou's ugly face and was a little disgusted, and he was very dissatisfied with Wen Chou's defeat to Youzhou twice, so although he nominally made him the right commander, he did not assign tasks to Wen Chou, but just let him stay in Jinyang City with good food and drink.

Although Wen Chou is ugly and not stupid, he can't see that the senior cadres don't want to see him, but he can't do anything about it, because the generals in the entire West Road camp don't like him!

Several times, in the dead of night, Wen Chou silently asked himself: If it was not Yuan Shao who took refuge in the beginning, but Liu He, what would he be like now? Although Zhao Yun and Tai Shici are powerful, Liu He's subordinates have generals who are not as good as themselves, such as Xian Yuyin and Xian Yufu, as well as Murong Ping and Sun Li, not to mention the generals Li Meng, Guan Jing and Shan Jing. These people can be reused and trusted by Liu He, are they not as good as them? (To be continued......)
