Chapter 189 The Big Wedding
"Sure enough, it came." Hearing that Zhang Chao finally said that he had a request, Tian Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This is what Yuan Shao told him when he came, saying that Zhang Chao would definitely take the opportunity to ask for benefits, and if he didn't ask for much, he would agree. "Okay, I just don't know what the general wants?"
"I don't dare to ask for it. It's just that I'm going to get married in a few days, and now that Brother Yuan Hao catches up, it's better to be a distinguished guest and a witness. Hehe, I guess that's not too much. Zhang Chao stared at Tian Feng and asked out loud.
It turned out to be such a request, it can be said that it really surprised Tian Feng.
The so-called rushing early, it is better to rush by coincidence, even if Zhang Chao's wedding is imminent, Tian Feng still has a request, if he just leaves, it is really a little inappropriate, after thinking about it, he nodded and said: "So I promised the general, it is also an honor to be able to participate in your wedding banquet." ”
Seeing that Tian Feng agreed, Zhang Chao laughed and said, "Okay, that's it, Brother Yuan Hao can send my decision to Brother Benchu first, and then you can stay here for a few more days." I'll have someone to show you around. ”
Tian Feng also wanted to see what the life of the people in Bingzhou was like, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, so I won't disturb it." ”
Tian Feng stayed, and began to travel through the streets and alleys, feeling how the life of the people in Bingzhou was like. At the same time, he also sent Zhang Chao back as soon as he promised not to send troops to interfere with Yuan Shao's use of troops against Liu Yu. But what he didn't know was that at the same time as he sent people, Zhang Chao also arranged for the members of Tianyan to go to Xu You's residence in Jizhou with generous gifts, as for what they were going to do, of course it was a discord.
Tian Feng and Xu Yu are both important strategists in Yuan Shao's hands.
Tian Feng is a very strategic person, he belongs to the first-class strategist, he thinks about problems and makes judgments are often very correct, but this person is too hard-tempered, he always contradicts his superiors, and no leader will like this person who always contradicts his superiors.
Xu You has a lot of ghost ideas, but this person is very greedy, and he is so greedy that Yuan Shao can no longer satisfy him, so his loyalty is problematic with this kind of person.
But no matter what, the two are officials in the same dynasty, and their personalities are so different, so naturally there are contradictions.
Tian Feng often trusted Yuan Shao because of his sufficient knowledge and strategy, which caused Xu You's dissatisfaction, he always felt that his status would be threatened, and he would often say bad things about him when he had nothing to do.
Zhang Chao grasped this point, and while giving gifts to Xu You, he also asked him to find an opportunity to provoke the relationship between Yuan Shao and Tian Feng, as long as the relationship between the two is on the same level, then the time is ripe for him to solicit.
Tian Feng didn't know this, he was still walking around. When he saw that the lives of the people in Bingzhou were in good order, and they were not affected in the slightest because of the current war, he couldn't help but feel very moved. This is exactly what he wants to see. But I never thought that Cao Cao, who was the son of heaven and ordered the princes, had not done it, Yuan Shao, who had the most troops and the strongest power, and had the name of the fourth world and the third duke, did not do it, and Zhang Chao, a little-known person, did it, which did bring him a lot of feelings.
He can finally be sure that Zhang Chao is very ambitious. It will even become an obstacle for Yuan Shao, who is like Cao Cao, to do great things.
It is said that after having such a judgment, the situation should be reported to Yuan Shao immediately, but Tian Feng is still conflicted in his heart.
He had to admit that the living conditions of the people in Bingzhou were exactly what he expected. And if the truth reaches Yuan Shao, there will be an army, so that the people here will suffer from the war, if this is the case, it is not his fault.
Of course, more importantly, Tian Feng's heart is very clear. Once Yuan Shao unified and annexed the state, it would be impossible for the people here to live such a good life. As for his attitude towards foreigners, Yuan Shao is completely different from Zhang Chao.
The former is mainly to win over and unite for the purpose.
Later, it is indeed mainly to accept it, and if you don't accept it, you will be eliminated.
In such a comparison, it is natural that Yuan Shao's method is safe for the time being, but it does plant bad seeds. On the other hand, Zhang Chao's thunderous methods, although it was more difficult at the beginning, once the goal was achieved, all the problems could be solved, and it would really be done once and for all.
The disaster of the frontier has always been the most troublesome problem for the country. But seeing that there is a person who stands up and can solve it, Tian Feng also seems to see hope. If this good hope is dashed because of his own news, he is really a sinner of the nation.
Tian Feng hesitated, all his actions were reported to Zhang Chao every day. It is not an exaggeration to say that once Tian Feng made a decision and wrote a letter with unfavorable words to Zhang Chao, it was when he could not return to Jizhou.
At that time, even if Zhang Chao valued Tian Feng's talent, he would not be soft at all for an opponent.
To be merciful to his opponent is to be cruel to himself, Zhang Chao understands this truth, and he will not let such a thing happen to him.
...... ......
Tian Feng's letter that Zhang Chao would not send troops finally arrived safely at Yuan Shao's headquarters.
After seeing Tian Feng's letter, Yuan Shao in the big tent was overjoyed. "This Zhang Zhiyuan is still aware of the times and knows not to be my enemy. Hehe, that's it, I'll let go of Liu Yu first, and then go back and talk about who to deal with. ”
Yuan Shao was happy at this time, and Xu You, one of the strategists in the tent, stood up when he saw the opportunity.
The heavy gift given to him by Zhang Chao arrived the day before, and he has always been greedy, and there is no reason why he should not accept it. immediately accepted the gift, naturally he wanted to speak for Zhang Chao, so he immediately said: "The lord is wise, Zhang Chao is very sensible, so we can not be enemies with him." But Cao Agui's actions are indeed a little unsatisfactory, he even scolded us in the name of the Son of Heaven, and asked us to have a good peace talk with Liu Yu, instead of having to use soldiers, which is simply pretending to be confused. Oh, he is only allowed to use troops to Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and we are not allowed to use troops to Youzhou, where does this reason come from in the world? ”
Xu You talked about Cao Cao, which is also fateful.
Speaking of which, Xu You, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao are all friends. The relationship between the three of them was still very close before. Later, everyone had their own territory, and Xu You took refuge in Yuan Shao, which made Cao Cao a little angry, and the relationship between the two naturally became a lot more estranged, and even with a little hatred. Now that he has the chance, of course, he has to add a little eye drops.
"Hmm." Listening to Xu You's words, Yuan Shao also nodded, and said with an unhappy face: "In this matter, Meng De is indeed a little excessive, I don't care if he holds the Son of Heaven hostage, I don't care what he wants to do, but if he wants to threaten me and order me because of this, it will definitely not work." Okay, I'll write down this hatred first, and I'll wait to solve the matter in Youzhou. ”
Yuan Shao didn't want to fight on both sides yet, although Cao Cao offended him, he could only endure it first, but he thought that the flaws would be retributious, and this matter would definitely not be over.
Yuan Shao had some grudges against Cao Cao. In this matter, Cao Apu, who has been promoted to commonplace, actually has his own difficulties.
He knew that Yuan Shao was fighting for territory with him, and he couldn't say okay when the other party was gaining power. Therefore, borrowing the voice of the Son of Heaven to reprimand Yuan Shao, it is okay to give the other party an unhappy first. As for Yuan Shao's grudge, he didn't care very much, the two obviously had a fight, if he said that he was still a little lacking in confidence before, but after occupying Qingzhou and having more than 200,000 more prisoners in his hands, he already felt that his wings were a little stiff. What he has to do now is to take advantage of Yuan Shao's incomplete pacification of Youzhou, he can take Xuzhou, if this is the case, he will have a lot of room for maneuver in his hands.
The two of them have their own minds and calculate each other. While treating the other party as a great enemy, they also ignored Zhang Chao's existence. Maybe neither of them used this Bingzhou Mu as a dish, or they just treated Zhang Chao as a fat pig, just waiting for one day to be fattened and killed.
When they were calculating with each other, Zhang Chao's wedding finally ushered in.
The big wedding of the general and the state pastor is nothing to the other princes, but for the Zhang Chao group, it is definitely a big day.
For the arrival of this important day, the institutions at all levels in the entire Jinyang City were busy, and the atmosphere in the market became very lively.
Because this day was the founding day of the army set by Zhang Chao himself, all the generals in the army rushed over for a while. Among them is Dian Wei, who served as a taishou in Yanmen County.
It has been nearly half a year since Zhang Chao left Yanmen, and with the joint efforts of Dian Wei and Lu Bu, Yu Fuluo, who came to take revenge, was severely damaged, and even his base camp Tuoketo was successfully attacked by Lu Bu, which can be described as a heavy loss.
Lu Bu's vanguard army was also under Zhang Chao's self-sufficient order, and successfully reached 10,000 people, and even the number of infantry under the Yinguan City Dian Wei of Yanmen Zhishu also successfully reached 10,000, and they were all elite divisions that had experienced war.
After basically achieving his goal, Dian Wei was allowed to return to Jinyang City with his own soldiers to participate in Zhang Chao's wedding ceremony. However, because Lu Bu was still harassing Yuvro near Tokto, he had no chance to turn around. It's just that Zhang Chao has promised to allow him to marry Minchan after eliminating Yu Fuluo, which also makes him feel a lot more at ease.
In addition to Dian Wei, who came back from Yanmen, General Xu Huang and military advisor Xu Shu, who were guarding Huguan, as well as Taishou Li Ru and guard General Xu Rong in Hedong, also rushed back to Jinyang City.
Today's trend in the world is that all the princes are grabbing the territory, that is, Dong Zhuo, who was defeated, is now also living in Yongzhou and recruiting troops.
