At that moment, Tian Feng strode to the middle of the hall and said loudly: "Our army has been fighting fiercely for many years, Fang has just rested for less than a year, and most of the sergeants and soldiers in the army are new recruits, and their combat effectiveness has not yet been formed. Moreover, this heavy snowfall came suddenly, our army was unprepared, the ordnance and materials were not properly prepared at all, and the logistics were not yet complete, so how could we fight? If it weren't for the help of the Zhen Chamber of Commerce and the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, our army would not even have the money to support the soldiers, how could it afford such a large-scale battle? Based on these three points, a certain does not agree with the lord to fight! ”

Tian Feng is really a straight person, and he really lives up to the hat that the future generations have just committed with him. The battle plan had already been drawn up by Ao Lie himself, and most of the officials had agreed, and at this juncture, Tian Feng had a sudden rise and said these three reasons for not being able to fight.

In fact, what Tian Feng said is not unreasonable, Ao Lie also knows that his current net worth can not withstand the toss, 150,000 Youhe army sounds a lot, but more than half of them are recruits who have just enlisted in the army within a year, after they set foot on the battlefield, it is already very good not to be scared stupid by the cruel killing, if this reason leads to the defeat of this battle, Ao Lie wants to organize an army of more than 100,000 people, and the expenses required are really not what he can afford now. This is also an important reason why Ao Lie has always insisted on taking the elite route, because he doesn't have so much money in his hands.

Seeing that Ao Lie was silent, Tian Feng continued unrelentingly: "My lord, the lessons of the death of the country due to the recklessness of the army have been too many since ancient times, and our army should continue to recuperate, so that the soldiers in the territory are sufficient, and the country is rich and the people are safe, before the army can go north or south." It is a bitter cold place, and the population is sparse, so the lord either does not fight. If you want to fight, you have to fight a war, and it is a long-term plan to minimize the loss of soldiers. In an uncertain battle like the one in front of us, it is better not to fight or not to fight. ”

As we all know, Tian Feng's family was killed by Yuan Shao, and it stands to reason that expanding his strength and accumulating strength should be something that Tian Feng likes to see, in that case, it will be the day when Ao Lie waved his troops south to attack Yuan Shao. will be one step closer. However, Tian Feng strongly advocated a boycott of the war, starting from the overall situation of the annexation, analyzed the reasons for the boycott, and completely put personal grievances behind, which alone is admirable enough.

Ao Lie pressed the table and asked the officials present, "Does anyone else support Mr. Yuan Hao's point of view?" ”

Gu Yong was in charge of Youzhou's money and grain, and knew that with the storage in the treasury, he really couldn't withstand the big war. So he stood up silently, stood by Tian Feng's side, and expressed his own position. After Gu Yong, several more officials came forward one after another. Support Tian Feng's view. The old minister under Liu Yu, Yan Rou, who is currently the Taishou of Yanjing, is also among them.

Such a blatant opposition to the established strategy of the lord, and a group of gangs in front of the lord. I am afraid that the situation of expressing dissatisfaction can only occur in Ao Lie's state governor's mansion. The side reflects Ao Lie's benevolence and tolerance towards his subordinates. If this is under Yuan Shao's command, even if Tian Feng and the others are not punished, I am afraid they will not be reused in the future. The relaxed atmosphere within the Youhe Group and Ao Lie's generosity can be seen from this.

However, this battle must be fought. Ao Lie will never change this. Historically, the Central Plains was later ravaged by wars, people were displaced, and even their children were eaten, and the root cause of all this was the situation of chaos in China. And Xianbei is the most important of the five hus. Therefore, for the containment and even complete elimination of Xianbei, Ao Lie's determination is firm and unshakable. He can't tolerate the indulgence of Xianbei, let alone the situation of Wuhu chaotic China, which really happened on the land of China.

Seeing Ao Lie's thoughts, Zhuge Liang stood up and said to Tian Feng and the others: "Everyone, what Mr. Yuan Hao said is indeed reasonable. However, let Xianbei and other foreign races invade our Han land, causing the lives of the people in the frontier to be miserable, how can we be at ease as an official of the imperial court? At present, Yuan Shao's vitality has not yet recovered, it is a great opportunity for our army to conquer the northern Xinjiang, if this opportunity is missed, in the future, Yuan Shao and the alien races in the northern Xinjiang collude with each other, and attack in two ways, how should we resist? ”

Zhuge Liang's words resonated with many people, Yuan Shao had colluded with the Wuhuan people in order to occupy Jizhou, forcing the original Jizhou Mu Hanfu to suffer from the enemy, and finally killed himself, the bloody lesson is in front of him, how can he not attract everyone's attention? Who dares to guarantee that Yuan Shao will not collude with Wuhuan or even Xianbei and Xiongnu again to deal with Ao Lie in the future?

After setting the tone of righteousness for his remarks, Zhuge Liang began to analyze Tian Feng's arguments one by one: "There are indeed a large number of recruits in our army, and Liang is also very worried about putting them into the battlefield. However, without experiencing the baptism of war, they will never grow into elite soldiers in a hundred battles by training alone, and this battle is an excellent opportunity to train them. The equipment of the aliens is extremely rudimentary, which can just be the whetstone for the recruits of our army, so that they can grow up quickly, otherwise, in the future, in the face of the well-equipped and well-trained Yuan Shao's army, what will they use to compete? ”

"In addition, the sudden arrival of this heavy snowfall made our army unprepared. This is true, but if we think backwards, our army is not prepared, are those Xianbei people prepared? Speaking of which, in the past year, our army has been recuperating and training soldiers, and it is the time when morale is high, and the Xianbei people have suffered from this natural disaster, everyone is panicked and self-endangered, hungry, and morale is bound to be low. And the geographical advantage, our army and Xianbei each accounted for half; In terms of morale, our army is inferior and occupies a clear human and superiority. If the knife is not sharpened, it will rust; If the morale is high and we do not fight, it will inevitably lead to a low ebb in the morale of our army, and in that case, our army's training over the past year will be completely wasted. ”

"At the last point, it's not wrong that our army's finances are tight. It is true that large-scale operations are not realistic, but our army is only focusing on one route and the other two roads are mainly defensive, and such a strategy can still be dealt with with with the current finances. For the time being, the expansion of Yanjing was interrupted and the limited financial resources were transferred to the operation, which was enough to ensure the battle of our army. As for the post-war period, the funds for the expansion of Yanjing will fall on the Xianbei people. The heavy snow froze to death a large number of cattle and sheep of the Xianbei people, these cattle and sheep in the hands of the Xianbei people, can only play the role of hunger, become the food of the Xianbei people, but if it falls into our hands, it will be different, wool, sheep's horns, cowhide, bezoar, etc., can be exchanged for money and food, as long as our army wins the battle, why worry about no follow-up money and food? This is the principle of using war to feed war. ”

After Zhuge Liang's tirade was finished, it immediately aroused warm applause from all the generals and more than half of the civil officials, and even Jia Xu, who was invisible, couldn't help but stand up and applaud.

In the midst of applause, Tian Feng lowered his head and thought carefully, repeatedly considering the feasibility of Zhuge Liang's words. After a long time, Tian Feng Huoran raised his head, first bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang, and said, "Kong Ming's insight is very human's ability. Today, I understand why the Lord Guild bothered so much to cultivate you, and in your chest, you really have the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and set the policy of national security, and a certain worship. ”

Then, Tian Feng changed his words, looked at Ao Lie and said loudly: "Lord, after Kong Ming's analysis, he is not stopping the lord's decision. However, a certain period of time is required from the lord, after all, this battle is too risky. success, then the strength of our army will be greatly improved; Defeated, our army will fall into a place of no return. ”

Ao Lie also knew that this battle did take a big risk. Although the prospect outlined by Zhuge Liang is attractive, it is based on the victory over the Xianbei people, if this battle is defeated, it will fall into the land of no return as Tian Feng said, not only will it consume a lot of grain and grass, lose a large number of new soldiers, and even lead to a regression in the economy of the secluded and merge, and it is impossible to recover without two or three years. However, let's not forget, how Ao Lie came to this world, Ao Lie's nature is full of adventurous spirit, in the face of all unknown and difficult challenges, Ao Lie will never retreat, he will only overcome the difficulties in front of him one by one, one by one to overcome the challenges in front of him, and take the difficulties and challenges as a stepping stone for himself to reach the peak!

"Three months! Give it three months! A certain meeting will give you an answer, and give an explanation to all the people in the territory of Youhe. Ao Lie looked at Tian Feng and said seriously.

If it were someone else, his lord had already made such a concession, he would definitely borrow the slope to get off the donkey and obey. But Tian Feng won't, he will never know what obedience is. After hearing the deadline given by Ao Lie, Tian Feng thought for a moment, and then slowly shook his head: "Three months, too long." I can't agree to take all the limited money and food as a bet on this battle. It is necessary to leave the necessary emergency needs for the future, so I can only give the lord two months, and if the lord agrees, I will wholeheartedly organize the grain and grass in the rear for our army to fight! ”

After hearing Tian Feng's firm words, Ao Lieteng stood up and looked at Tian Feng intently, no one could tell what he was thinking from his facial expressions.

Gu Yong, who was standing beside Tian Feng, thought that Ao Lie was angry, so he hurriedly pulled Tian Feng secretly, and then said to Ao Lie: "The lord is angry." Three months is three months, and Yong guarantees that within three months, the soldiers fighting on the front line will not be short of a grain of grain. ”

Yan Rou, an old minister, also persuaded Tian Feng in a low voice: "Yuan Hao, don't be stubborn anymore, quickly admit your mistakes to the lord." ”

Unexpectedly, Tian Feng didn't seem to hear their words, and still looked at Ao Lie without giving in, and said, "Two months, two months at most!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the whole house was shocked. The military generals were led by Lu Bu, and the Wenchen was led by Zhuge Liang, all of whom stood up and bowed to Ao Lie: "Please calm the anger of the lord." Since ancient times, the words have been contrary to the ear, and I hope that the lord will think twice! ”

"Ha Lu haha," Ao Lie suddenly laughed, and Da Lu said with a smile: "Do you think that a certain is Yuan Benchu with a small belly and chicken intestines?" In this matter, according to what Mr. Yuan Hao said, within two months, a certain person will definitely return with a big break! ”

The laughter gradually stopped, and Ao Lie said again with a serious look: "With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly; With the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. Tian Yuanhao is a certain mirror, a mirror that can see gains and losses! (To be continued......)
