Chapter 833: Don't Force
Not far from the battlefield where Zhang Yang and Xiahoudun faced off, two healthy horses stood silently.
On horseback were two men in dark clothes.
Looking at the battlefield in the distance, a man asked his companion beside him, "Look at this battle, who can win it?" ”
"I don't know yet, I can only wait!" Another man shook his head: "There are more soldiers and horses than Cao Jun, but Cao Jun occupies the hillside, and this battle is really hard to say." ”
Far away from them, the retreating Zhang Yangjun ran fast in the rain of arrows fired by the Cao army.
Constantly people were shot by arrows and fell into the dust, and more Zhang Yangjun retreated after reacting, holding shields to block the rain of arrows.
"Kill!" Seeing that Zhang Yangjun was about to withdraw from the range of the arrows, Xiahoudun raised his big knife and shouted, and the horse took the lead and rushed down the hillside.
Cao Jun, who was arraying on the hillside, only waiting for Xiahoudun's order, heard his shout, let out a shout, and rushed out after this.
Entrenched in Hanoi, Zhang Yang fought fiercely with Cao's army.
On the border with Jizhou, which borders Hanoi, an army of 50,000 men is waiting for Yuan Shao's orders.
It has been many days since he came here, stationed on the border between Jizhou and Hanoi, and Yuan Shaojun has never stepped on the border.
The leader of this Yuan Shaojun was Zhang He, who was one of the four court pillars in Hebei.
I had heard of Xiahoudun's name a long time ago, and Zhang He also wanted to meet this fierce general of the Cao army for a while.
But Yuan Shao never gave him the order to go out, and the army could only watch the war in Hanoi on the border of Hanoi.
Zhang He waited for the order, and Yuan Shao was not having a good time at this time.
Tian Feng returned from Luoyang and brought him the news that Liu Wei did not want to be an enemy of Cao Cao.
In the plan, only Liu Wei needed to attack Xu Du, Yuan Shao led the army south, and Liu Bei attacked from Xuzhou again, so that Cao Cao could be defeated, but Liu Wei did not support the crusade against Cao Cao, which made Yuan Shao very upset.
presented Liu Shao's meaning to Yuan Shao, Tian Feng did not retreat immediately, but waited for Yuan Shao's final statement.
Liu Wei has already made it clear that if Yuan Shao still forcibly sends troops, the chances of victory are extremely small.
As Yuan Shao's staff, Tian Feng only wanted to convince Yuan Shao before he took a wrong step and never tried to use troops against Cao Cao.
In addition to Tian Feng, there were also people sitting in the hall, such as Fu Zhu, Xu You, Feng Ji and others.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Shao's face, waiting for him to make a final decision.
Yuan Shao's staff in front of the tent are now divided into three factions.
The faction headed by the trial and match and Feng Ji strongly advocated that Yuan Shaoli and Yuan Shang should be the heirs, while Xu You and others advocated that the elders should not be abolished.
As for Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, neither faction was implicated, and they were only dedicated to assisting Yuan Shao.
"Yuan Gong!" Knowing that Liu Wei did not plan to crusade against Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was silent for a long time without speaking, and Tian Feng asked in a low voice: "I don't know what Yuan Gong has planned?" ”
"King Qin doesn't want to crusade against Cao Cao, so what?" Shaking his head, Yuan Shao frowned, as if he was answering Tian Feng, but he didn't give Tian Feng a definite news.
"How does this matter still need to be considered?" As soon as Yuan Shao's voice fell, Tian Feng had not yet answered, so he stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Cao Cao is currently occupying Qingzhou and Yanzhou, blocking Yuan Gong's way south, if Yuan Gong has the heart to look south, support the Han Dynasty, and establish the King of Qin as the emperor, the first thing is to defeat Cao Cao!" Abolish that Liu Xie! ”
"That's a mistake!" Judging that he wanted to crusade against Cao Cao, since he entered the hall, he shook his head and said: "Although Duke Yuan has an army of hundreds of thousands, if he is an enemy of Cao Cao, I am afraid it will be difficult to win!" ”
Among the staff, Fu Zhu is the oldest, and Yuan Shao has always relied on him.
I didn't expect Fu Zhi to say such a thing, Yuan Shao frowned, turned his head to look at him, and didn't say anything.
Seeing a trace of dissatisfaction from Yuan Shao's gaze, Feng Ji, who had a good personal relationship with the judge, also took it up, and clasped his fists at Yuan Shao and said: "The subordinates think that what Zhengnan said is not bad!" Yuan Gong sat on an army of 300,000, the army has not been conquered for several years, and the soldiers have not been conquered for a long time. The so-called raising the army for a thousand days and using troops for a while, and now Yuan Gong wants to crusade against Cao Cao, it is the time when my Jizhou army shows its majesty, and the morale of the soldiers is high, how can there be a risk of defeat? ”
After listening to Feng Ji's words, Yuan Shao nodded, and said thoughtfully: "What Yuan Tu said coincides with a certain ......"
"Yuan Gong!" As soon as he expressed his approval of Feng Ji, Tian Feng furrowed his brows, stood up and said: "If the King of Qin does not send troops, Yuan Gong really has no chance of winning, and he must not use troops against Cao Cao lightly!" ”
With a frown, Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng a little unhappily and asked him, "What does Yuan Hao mean?" ”
Tian Feng was about to speak, but the frustrated professor on the side hurriedly took over the conversation and said to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Hao is not to prevent Yuan Gong from sending troops, but the army is going out, and the grain and grass must go first. Now that our army has a large number of people, it is said that it costs a lot of grain and grass, if Yuan Gong does not raise grain and grass......"
The words that were about to be spoken were interrupted by the frustration, Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, looking at the frustration, full of puzzlement.
Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the first place, listened to Tian Feng's words, nodded and said, "I see, Yuan Hao is also kind." It's just that if King Qin doesn't send troops, it will really be a little more troublesome. ”
Sighing lightly, Yuan Shao waved his hand at Tian Feng and the others and said, "You wait and go down, a good student will think about it and then make a calculation." ”
Yuan Shao asked everyone to retreat, and everyone was not good at delaying in the hall, thanked him, and retreated one after another.
Out of the front hall, the judge and Feng Ji and others made a move and left first, Xu You and others also made a move and went down the stairs.
Outside the door of the front hall, only Fu Zhi and Tian Feng remained.
Walking down the stairs with Fu Zhu, Tian Feng asked Fu Zhu in a low voice, "Why did Mr. Fang prevent Yuan Gong from reasoning with Yuan Gong?" ”
"There are many generals in Hebei, and Yuan Gong intends to seek Cao Cao for a long time." Walking side by side with Tian Feng, he said to him: "If Yuan Hao bluntly said that Yuan Gong would be defeated, I am afraid that he will be killed!" ”
Although Tian Feng has wisdom, his temperament is still a little more upright after all, and he didn't think of this.
After being reminded by Frustration, he suddenly realized, and understood why he was in the hall just now, and Frustration interrupted him.
"King Qin doesn't want to send troops, if Duke Yuan rashly moves troops, Hebei is in danger!" Shaking his head, Tian Feng said to Fu Zhu: "That trial and discipline, the rat's eyes are narrow, I only know that there are many generals in Hebei, and I will instigate Yuan Gong's soldiers to ......."
"It's not unreasonable to be concerned about the trial and discipline!" Shaking his head, he said to Tian Feng in frustration: "Even if the King of Qin agrees to move troops, Yuan Gong is afraid that he will have no chance of winning, they only see the Hebei troops, but they have not thought that Cao Cao is difficult to attack, and they can't complain about them!" ”
It can be regarded as an old friend with Fu Zhu, and the opinions of the two are often surprisingly consistent, and Tian Feng also respects Fu Zhu very much.
Hearing his analysis, Tian Feng didn't say anything, but he secretly sighed in his heart that when he was in Luoyang, Pang Tong and others had also analyzed that if Yuan Cao started a war, Yuan Shao's victory rate would be very small, and Liu Wei also said that even if the Qin army sent troops, I am afraid it would not have much impact on the battle situation.
"Mr. Tian, Gong Yuan is invited!" Just as he was walking side by side towards the bottom of the stairs with Fu Zhi, a soldier guarding the front hall quickly caught up with Tian Feng and said something to him with his fists.
As soon as he left Yuan Shao and asked him to go back, Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on his frustrated face.
Chaotian Feng nodded, but did not speak, and continued to walk down the stairs.
Fu Zhu had already reminded him, don't forcibly stop Yuan Shao, Tian Feng also had some measurements in his heart, and followed the guard to the door of the front hall.
"Yuan Gong!" Entering the front hall, Tian Feng clenched his fists and bowed, and first greeted Yuan Shao.
Holding a letter in his hand, hearing Tian Feng speak, Yuan Shao raised his head and beckoned to him.
Entering the hall, Tian Feng asked Yuan Shao: "Yuan Gong called his subordinates to turn back, I don't know what to order?" ”
"Yuan Hao!" Glancing at the letter in his hand, Yuan Shao sighed and said to Tian Feng: "Fang Cai forgot about jì and was about to discuss with you, so you can read this letter and talk about it." ”
I didn't know what was written in Yuan Shao's hand, Tian Feng was quite puzzled, but he still stepped forward to take the letter, took two steps back, and opened the letter.
After briefly browsing the contents of the letter, Tian Feng was stunned for a moment and asked Yuan Shao: "What does Yuan Gong want?" ”
"Fang Cai also said that the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first!" Frowning, Yuan Shao said to Tian Feng: "Although I have hundreds of thousands of troops in Jizhou, it will take time to collect grain and grass, and at present, there are only 50,000 horses under Zhang He's department in Hanoi......"
"Is Yuan Gong going to use troops against Cao Cao?" Before Yuan Shao's words were finished, Tian Feng asked.
"Hmm!" Nodding, Yuan Shao said: "Hanoi is the barrier between my Hebei and Cao Cao, if Hanoi is lost, Hebei will be under the iron hooves of Cao Cao's army!" ”
"The battle in Hanoi should not be too big!" Knowing that if Zhang Yang was defeated, I was afraid that Yuan Shao would not crusade against Cao Cao in the future, and Cao Cao would also crusade against him, Tian Feng did not intend to stop Yuan Shao, but said to him: "Duke Yuan can order General Zhang He to lead the army into Hanoi, and don't want to fight with Cao's army head-on, just put pressure on Cao's army!" ”
"Pressuring?" Tian Feng did not approve of the direct use of troops against Cao Cao, Yuan Shao frowned, and said to him: "Yuan Hao didn't think that Cao Cao would give up Hanoi because of the pressure from our army?" ”
"Not really!" Asked by Yuan Shao, Tian Feng hurriedly said: "The subordinates didn't mean this, but if General Zhang He and the Cao army started a fight, I am afraid that the Cao army will enter Hanoi immediately, and Yuan Gong and that Cao Cao will also turn ......against each other sooner or later."
"Turning the eye is turning the other way!" The frowns became tighter and tighter, and Yuan Shao's tone became colder, and he said to Tian Feng: "A certain mind has been decided, and immediately order General Zhang He to enter Hanoi and drive Cao Jun out!" ”
Yuan Shao had already made a decision, Tian Feng wanted to dissuade him, but after thinking about it, I was afraid that Yuan Shao wanted him to come back, not just to ask for his opinion, but to inform him that the Hebei army was only a matter of time to defeat Cao Cao.
Thinking about this layer, Tian Feng didn't say anything, but sighed silently in his heart, I am afraid that the peaceful days in Hebei are really coming to an end.
