On such a serious occasion, discussing such an important matter, Feng Ji's attitude made him very dissatisfied.

Feng Ji bowed his hands to Yuan Shao, and said flatly: "I'm rude, please forgive me, my lord. However, I can probably guess what Tian Biejia's plan is, but I just don't know it, and I can't help laughing."

Tian Feng was furious. "Then I should ask for advice."

Feng Ji turned a deaf ear to Tian Feng, just looked at Yuan Shao calmly, and he didn't speak until Yuan Shao nodded.

"Jizhou is the largest state in the world. It inherits the legacy of Yan and Zhao. It has the spirit of martial arts. The strong crossbowmen are the best in the world. Famous generals come out in large numbers. The principle of China is not the same. Yanyu is Qingxu. Peace will last for a long time. There are more graceful men and fewer soldiers who are good at fighting. Not to mention no famous generals. Even if they are like Chen Yuanlong, they can only be captured in one battle."

Feng Ji gave Tian Feng a sideways look, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "It is because Tian Biejia thought that the emperor would not come out, and the Jizhou soldiers could take the Central Plains lightly, without the help of others. It's just that he miscalculated for a while, and the emperor not only sent troops, but also came fiercely. In a few days, the situation in Shandong was very different. Juzheng Nan abandoned In Suiyang, Zhang Junyi and Gao Yuan watched the wind and fled, no longer annihilating Chen Yuanlong's heroic appearance. At this time, if you advance, you will not be able to, and if you retreat, you will not be willing, so there are two strategies."

Feng Ji mentioned Chen Deng twice, which not only reminded Yuan Shao, but also stimulated Tian Feng.

Tian Feng's face became more and more ugly, and his beard trembled.

"You say that this is false and true, why bother talking about it?"

"Everything must have a cause and effect, did it come out of thin air?" Feng Ji retorted. "Your so-called emptiness must be bluffing, standing still, waiting for the dust to settle, life and death, and pinning your hopes on the eventuality. Your so-called reality must be a battle of death and defeat. The victory is determined by a battle. Victory is a pleasure, defeat Then the autumn grains will be plundered, and we will retreat to Jizhou to fight the trapped beasts. As for the Central Plains, it’s worth noting.”

Yuan Shao's face suddenly became very ugly, and he turned to look at Tian Feng.

If Tian Feng really thinks so, then he absolutely cannot agree.

Returning to Jizhou and looting all the autumn grain, he will never have a chance to return to the Central Plains, and the Central Plains people will no longer recognize him.The loss of Jizhou people may be limited, but he will lose nothing, and he can only be a puppet of Jizhou people from now on.

How could Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others accept the plundering of the Central Plains?

Tian Feng sneered, his face full of disdain. "I thought you had the art of knowing the mind, but it turned out that it was just a random guess."

Feng Ji sneered back. "I hope I'm wrong, otherwise even if I risk my life, I won't agree."

Yuan Shao also heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and signaled Feng Ji not to speak. "Yuan Hao, tell me about your false and real plans."

"Here." Tian Feng bowed in greeting. "The vain of the minister refers to the negotiation of peace. The truth of the minister refers to the preparation for war."

"Negotiate peace?" Yuan Shao was taken aback, and subconsciously straightened up.

Can we still negotiate now?Surrender is more or less the same.

"Don't worry, my lord, the peace negotiation is just a sign to the world." Tian Feng explained: "Liangzhou soldiers are greedy and murderous, and their notoriety has spread far and wide. The emperor is still in Guanzhong, but the vanguard cavalry rushed to help Suiyang, which caused a shock in Shandong, and the people ran eastward with their families. .What will happen if the Son of Heaven leads an army to the east?"

Yuan Shao raised his brows lightly, revealing a smile. "Meng De once slaughtered Xuzhou, Liangzhou soldiers also did harm to Ruying and Chenliu, they are in the same gang, I am afraid it is even worse than tigers and wolves, how can the people not flee?"

"What the lord said is true." Tian Feng continued: "At this time, the lord is asking for a peace negotiation, enduring the humiliation of one person, in exchange for the lives of the people in Shandong. If the peace negotiation is successful, you will lose the hope of Shandong, and you can enter the court or guard the vassal. If the peace negotiation fails, then the lord can use the people of Shandong as soldiers and fight to the death. From this, the fiction will become reality."

Suddenly, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up.

It has to be said that Tian Feng's plan is really brilliant.Regardless of whether the court accepts his peace proposal, he will make a steady profit without losing money.

Feng Ji frowned. "How can the fugitive people serve as soldiers? The three people in Shenzhengnan have strong soldiers from Jizhou, and even if they cannot confront Liangzhou soldiers, how can uneducated people go into battle? My lord, to fight without teaching is to abandon them. This is not in line with the righteousness of a saint." .”

Tian Feng sneered and said: "Guarding the homeland, since everyone is fighting to die, how can it be safe, relying on others to ask for help? And it will take time to negotiate a peace, not immediately forming an army. If there is enough time to recruit and train, how can it be done without teaching? war?"

I'm at a loss for words.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Shao did not immediately accept Tian Feng's suggestion, saying that he should think about it.

Tian Feng didn't insist either, and bowed to leave.

Ju Shou, who had been silent all this time, also stood up.

The two left the account, and Ju Shou followed Tian Feng, worried. "Brother Yuan Hao, everyone's words can make money, and the accumulation of bones will be destroyed, so we must guard against it."

Tian Feng nodded, and then said: "In the first place, it is to win in danger, how can you hesitate? If you advance, you will win, and if you retreat, you will lose. It is destiny." He stopped and looked at Jushou. "It's you, who neither plans nor withdraws, why?"

Ju Shou smiled wryly. "In a place of suspicion, you can't advance or retreat independently. Since Brother Yuan Hao is in charge of the overall situation, I will follow."

Tian Feng shook his head. "The Ruying people are cunning rabbits and three caves. How can the heroes of Jizhou put all their eggs in one basket? If you don't have enough confidence in the lord, you might as well withdraw as soon as possible and risk your life. With your intelligence, how can you be weaker than Xun Gongda?"

Jushou was taken aback. "Brother Yuan Hao, what is the meaning of this?"

Tian Feng smiled, but said nothing.

-

Yuan Shao sat behind the desk, looking at Feng Ji who was still angry, his eyes flickered.

He knew that Fengji was dissatisfied with Tian Feng, but it was not appropriate to confront Tian Feng in public today.

He hoped that Feng Ji and others would come forward to oppose Tian Feng, so that Tian Feng would not be too domineering, but the conflict between the Jizhou faction and the non-Jizhou faction intensified to the point of tearing faces, which was not what he wanted to see.

"Yuantu, if you have anything else to say, you might as well speak up."

"Here." Feng Ji bowed in greeting. "My lord, dare to ask my lord, can the people of Yanyu fight against Liangzhou soldiers?"

Yuan Shao sighed. "Yuan Hao's intention is not in the battlefield, but in people's hearts."

"Chen Yuanlong's heart is still unacceptable, can An Neng accept the hearts of Yanyu people?"

Yuan Shao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and his expression became awkward.

He knew that Chen Deng's matter was troublesome, and now the consequences are gradually showing.

"From Yuan Tu's point of view, so what?"

"Severely punish Zhang Junyi and Gao Yuanguan, and appease Chen Yuanlong's anger. If Chen Yuanlong can be persuaded to surrender and succeed Yanyu, there may be a chance to fight."

Yuan Shao's face darkened. "Yuan Tu, Zhang Junyi, and Gao Yuanguan have done radical things, but they are meritorious persons. How can they be severely punished?"

"What if they lie about the military situation?"

"Lying about the military situation?" Yuan Shao was taken aback.

"I boldly speculate that Zhang Junyi and Gao Yuanguan's defeat in Dangshan last time must have been embellished. This time they were defeated by the Xiliang Army, and they also lied about it. On this point, I agree with Tian Yuanhao, Liangzhou cavalry There can never be a crowd of ten thousand."

Chapter 625 Reversing Black and White

Yuan Shao hesitated.

There is nothing to say about the generals in the army who report false battle reports, even kill good men and pretend to be meritorious, and cover up in many ways when they lose a battle.Feng Ji's guess is likely to be true, but he will not punish Zhang Yun and Gao Lan for it.

But it is a good choice to take advantage of this opportunity to let Chen Deng calm down, hit the arrogance of the people of Jizhou severely, and support the strength of Yanyu Qing and Xu Sizhou.

Jizhou people are too flamboyant, Feng Ji and others can't stand it, and he can't stand it anymore, it's just that the situation is so, so he has to be patient.

The Son of Heaven is about to go east, Tian Feng's plan goes wrong, and the people of Jizhou are facing a major crisis, so they have to consider recruiting the people of Yanyu into the army to expand the force. This is a good opportunity to restore balance.

What Tian Feng thought was that the Jizhou soldiers were the main force, and the Yanyu soldiers were the retinue, obeying the orders of the Jizhou people.

What Feng Ji wanted was to let the Yanyu soldiers form an independent army, commanded by non-Jizhou people.

Seemingly the same, but actually related to the control of military power, it is very important, and it may even change the current unfavorable situation where the power is left behind, so Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel uneasy.

But he dared not act rashly.

Right now is the critical moment to compete for Suiyang.If Zhang He and Gao Lan were punished rashly, and the Jizhou people were angered, and the Jizhou people deliberately released the water, the consequences would be disastrous.

Yuan Shao thought about it, and decided to adopt Tian Feng's suggestion first, and wait for Yanyu's soldiers to be available, and then find a way to persuade Chen Deng to surrender.

Feng Ji made another suggestion to him, to lure Liu Yao into the game.

Liu Yao was in Yuzhang, not only threatening Sun Ce, but also holding a large number of Danyang soldiers.This is a force that cannot be ignored, presumably the imperial court will not give up.After Zhou Zhong left Jingzhou, there was no news, and he probably went to Yuzhang.

If Liu Yao is also persuaded by Zhou Zhong to surrender, it will be extremely unfavorable to Yuan Shao's situation, and may have a greater impact than Liu Biao.

Therefore, Yuan Shao could not sit still and should immediately send someone to contact Liu Yao.

Compared with Liu Biao, Liu Yao has a closer relationship with Yuan Shao, and his sister is Yuan Shao's current wife.He was able to become the governor of Yangzhou in the first place, it was also the arrangement of the veteran officials in the court, the purpose was to support Yuan Shao.

Xu Shao, a famous scholar in Runan, is by Liu Yao's side and can play a big role.

Liu Yao has been operating in Yuzhang for several years. Although he failed to control Yangzhou, he has gained a firm foothold in Yuzhang, which is evident in his ability to use troops.If he can firmly stand on Yuan Shao's side and lead the Danyang army to fight, he can threaten Sun Ce to the east and Liu Biao to the west.

Yuan Shao patted his thigh. "How did I forget him? Yuan Tu, your reminder is too timely, it should be a great credit."

Feng Ji sighed. "My lord, you don't need to take credit for me, as long as you don't have any faults. If you don't have to do it yourself, I don't dare to speak lightly."

Yuan Shao was concerned, and comforted him: "Yuan Tu doesn't have to be like this. Although Tian Yuanhao is upright, he still understands the general situation, and he won't miss important things because of his family's opinion. He must have enough confidence to face the Xiliang soldiers, so he didn't make a big move. . Yuzhang is also very important, and Liu Zhengli cannot be taken lightly."

Feng Ji hesitated for a moment. "Then...about Guangzong Guo, did he report it to the lord?"

"What happened to the Guangzong Guo family?"

Fengji sighed. "The minister is talking too much again."

Yuan Shao was in a hurry. "Yuantu, tell me quickly, what happened to the Guangzong Guo family?"

"I heard that the Guangzong Guo family has long since fallen, and the girl named Queen is not in Tongda Hou's house now, but is a maidservant."

Yuan Shao's complexion suddenly changed, it was so pale that there was no trace of blood.After a while, it became red again, as if it had been slapped a few times.

The word maid deeply hurt him.

Because his mother was not the official wife of his biological father Yuan Feng, he became a concubine. Even if he was adopted by his uncle Yuan Cheng and received careful training from his uncle Yuan Kai, he still could not escape Yuan Shu's insult and was regarded as the son of a maidservant.

In order to monopolize power, the people of Jizhou actually want his son Yuan Xi to marry a maidservant as his wife. Does he still have his master in his eyes?

He is worse than a puppet.

Even if it is a puppet, you have to save some face.

Seeing Yuan Shao's face was ugly, Feng Ji hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, stroking Yuan Shao's chest. "My lord, you must not get angry. You should put the overall situation first and take care of your health so as not to be taken advantage of by others."

Yuan Shao pushed Feng Ji away, panting heavily. "Yuantu, is this true?"

"This is the news I inquired about." Feng Ji said: "However, I estimate that the woman may no longer be in Tongda Hou's house at this moment, and must be taken elsewhere to conceal her identity. After a few months, she will be sent to In front of the lord, she is still Guangzong Guo's direct daughter."

"There's no reason for that." Yuan Shao suddenly realized.No wonder Guo's daughter has never shown up, it turns out that such a thing is still hidden.He was furious. "The merchant's daughter is fine, and now even the maid doesn't care? Do they want me to be laughed at by Gonglu again?"

"My lord..."

"Needless to say, you go to Suiyang immediately to find out about Zhang He and Gao Lan's false report on the military situation." Yuan Shao remained calm when he was furious. "Yuan Tu, the evidence must be solid, understand?"

"Here." Feng Ji agreed with joy in his heart.

"Send someone to Tongda Hou's house, be sure to find witnesses, lest they turn black and white again."

"Here." Feng Ji agreed loudly.

-

In a rage, Yuan Shao didn't argue with Tian Feng face to face, but sent Feng Ji to find out the truth, but he accepted Tian Feng's suggestion and issued a call to arms, expressing his willingness to negotiate peace with the imperial court in order to prevent the people of Yanyu from being slaughtered by Xiliang soldiers.

The prose written by Chen Lin is as brilliant as ever.He talked a lot about Dong Zhuo's chaos in the past, how Xiliang soldiers brought disaster to Luoyang, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and regarded Xiliang soldiers as scourges, as if once they appeared, they would be devastated and the people would be in dire straits.

This proclamation successfully aroused the fear of the people. Not only did the people of Yanyu flee on a large scale, but even Xuzhou and Yangzhou became uneasy.

The first to bear the brunt is Yangzhou Mu Yuanshu.

Yuan Shu's son-in-law Huang Yi was mentioned in the call to action.Chen Lin focused on describing Huang Yi's expedition with the wolf cavalry, and described Huang Yi as a warrior who abandoned the teachings of the saints and killed people like hemp, which is even worse than Bingliang.Now that he is helping the tyrant and commanding Liangzhou soldiers to fight, it is a betrayal of Confucianism, a betrayal of his family, and even more of a betrayal of the entire scholarly community.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lin used her imagination again, saying that Yuan Shu sent her two daughters to Xingzai for her own self-interest, regardless of Yuan's deep hatred for Dong Zhuo.That's all for the youngest daughter, but Yuan Quan, the eldest daughter, is a married woman. She doesn't go out with her husband, Huang Yi, but stays with the emperor day and night, which is really inappropriate.

How can a woman be an official if she is weak?The so-called women's camp is nothing more than the emperor's ban.

Yuan Quan's move insulted Yuan's family style.

As soon as the call to action came out, Yuan Shu became a laughing stock.People from Jiujiang were not very willing to talk to Yuan Shu at first, and when they heard about this kind of thing, no one kept them at a respectful distance, and they were unwilling to join forces with Yuan Shu, lest they would be ridiculed.

Chapter 626

Shouchun, State Shepherd's Mansion.

"This servant girl is getting more and more despicable." Yuan Shu leaned on the table, stroked the beard around his lips, smacked his lips, and sneered. "Compared to him, I am simply a saint. Civilization, Yuan Tu, don't you think so?"

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye, without saying a word.

They also didn't expect Yuan Shao to issue such a proclamation, and it was enough to scold Yuan Shu, but they actually spread rumors out of thin air and poured dirty water on Yuan Quan.

What's the difference between that and a shrew?

If it is said that the women's camp is forbidden by the emperor, then how can Mrs. Hongnong set up a paper workshop and bookstore in Hedong?There are also many women there, and there are many female relatives of the rich Shandong family. They were originally ladies of the family, but now they show their faces and do business.

The Son of Heaven's advocacy of equality between men and women may be a bit radical, and it is not in line with the rites of a saint, but it would be inferior to use such a reason to oppose it.

"Why don't you speak?" Yuan Shu lowered his face, pushed his hand, and threw the document he had just received on the case on the ground. "Don't you think so too?"

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang were taken aback, and quickly said, "Your words are serious, why would we think so?"

"Then what do you think?" Yuan Shu widened his eyes and patted the table. "Call me back!"

Yang Hong shook his hand. "Your envoy, there is no need for that."

"Why?" Yuan Shu's eyes widened, like copper bells. "What kind of man is Naigong, how can he suffer such a loss."
