After seeing the copy of the robes sent by Liu Bei from Xinye, Yuan Shao hesitated and asked his subordinates to summon his advisers to discuss the attack on Cao Cao. Yuan Shao's discussion here was very different from Cao Cao's side.
When Cao Cao encountered major events, he would gather his subordinates to discuss. Yuan Shao usually first discussed with his civil servants and counselors before letting the generals act according to the results of the discussion. This approach should be that each has its own strengths and cannot say who is better than who is. The reason for adopting this approach was determined by the experience of the two.
For a long time after Chenliu rose up and entered Dongjun, Cao Cao had only four or five generals under his command, and even fewer strategists were pitiful. When there were matters that needed to be discussed, he didn't even have to go to a big tent. He just found a small place to discuss major military and national affairs. Over time, he formed his own habits; while Yuan Shao was different. The reputation of the Yuan family's fourth generation and three dukes was definitely not empty, and his disciples and former officials were everywhere in the world, and it was not for nothing. He was afraid after escaping from Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo of the Yuan family power was appointed as the prefect of Bohai to win over Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao first arrived in Bohai, many civil and military officials from the Yuan family came to join him. In the days that followed, there were a large number of famous scholars from the north who were famous and recruited by Yuan Shao or delivered goods to his doorstep. Yuan Shao could be said to have many strategists and warriors. If every time he discussed things, he would gather civil and military officials together, the place where the matter was discussed was much more lively than the free market.
Moreover, since ancient times, China and foreign countries have had some very bad traditions, that is, literati are inferior to each other. Not only are literati and literati, but civil officials and military generals are disliked each other. Although everyone knows the dangers of disagreement between civil and military affairs, they can't help but look down on each other. Otherwise, the allusions of harmony between generals and ministers will not be widely promoted as role models and role models. Unfortunately, the greatest function of role models is to be admired rather than to do as they follow. This consequence of disagreeing with each other will cause it to be better if it is just a debate between literati. Everyone is a literati. Generally, even if there is disagreement, they are all very concise and very well-educated to attack opponents, which is what they usually say is not a swear word. Especially in front of the lord, it is at most that it is said that something is not done by a gentleman.
The words of losing righteousness are different. Some generals have bad tempers, especially when debating with civil officials. Those words that are not good at speaking can't be said, but not being able to say them does not mean they can't understand. Often, when they hear their opponents scold them, these irritable generals are anxious, either open their mouths to greet the other party's ancestors, the old and young men, the eighteen generations of men and women, or roll up their sleeves to hit people. Yuan Shao, who came from a noble family, certainly cannot tolerate such things, so when encountering major events, Yuan Shao had to choose to find the advisers who had passed by the letter to discuss. Yuan Shao had many wise men, and among these wise men, eight were valued by him, and they also made great efforts for Yuan Shao to occupy the four states.
Tian Feng, a native of Julu, Jizhou, was well-informed and knowledgeable, and had many special powers. He served as the censor in the court. Because he was dissatisfied with the autocracy of the eunuchs, he abandoned his official position and returned home. Yuan Shao raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo, and at his invitation, he served as a different leader to save the royal family. Later, Yuan Shao used Tian Feng's strategy to eliminate Gongsun Zan, pacify Hebei, and seize the four states.
Ju Su was a native of Guangping, Jizhou. He had few ambitions and was good at strategy. He promoted great talents and appointed Han Fu as the leader of Han Fu. In the second year of Chuping, Yuan Shao forced Han Fu to give up Jizhou and lead the governor of Jizhou. Ju Su proposed to him the strategic plan of occupying Hebei and fighting for dominance of the world. He was appreciated and represented as the general of the army and the generals who strived for power, became the main figure in Yuan Shao's shogunate, and the main figure in Yuan Shao's shogunate, and the other generals were supervised.
Xu You, a native of Nanyang, Jingzhou, was young and in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Cao Cao was friends. When Yuan Shao raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo, he became the main counselor.
Fengji, a native of Jizhou, defected when Yuan Shao raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo. He was trusted by Yuan Shao. He even made a plan to coerce Han Fu together with Gongsun Zan, so he ordered Yuan Shao to lead the governor of Jizhou. After Hebei was pacified, Yuan Shao led the military to be governed by Fengji.
Xun Chen, a native of Yingchuan, Yuzhou, Yuan Shao asked Gongsun Zan to come south to attack Han Fu. Yizhou was shocked. At that time, Xun Chen was Han Fu's main counselor. He persuaded Han Fu to invite Yuan Shao to work together in the prefecture affairs, so he ordered Yuan Shao to take over the governor of Jizhou.
Guo Tu, a native of Yingchuan, Yuzhou, defected to the emperor when Yuan Shao fled from Luoyang and served as the prefect of Bohai. He once lobbied Yu Han Fu for Yuan Shao and sent Shao to lead Jizhou. When Emperor Xian of Han fled from Chang'an to Luoyang, Guo Tu made a statement to obstruct Yuan Shao from welcome to the emperor.
Shen Pei, a native of Wei County, Jizhou, was under Han Fu when he became an official. He was unsuccessful in Han Fu because of his integrity. Yuan Shao was appointed as the governor of Jizhou. He was entrusted with the responsibility of his confidant and was in charge of the general of the shogunate. After Hebei was pacified, he was in charge of military affairs with Feng Ji.
Chen Lin, a native of Hongyi, Guangling, was a famous writer and a mail-offist. Chen Lin had been an official for a long time and was the chief clerk of the general He Jin. He Jin wanted to kill all the eunuchs, so he summoned powerful generals from all directions and led their troops to the capital to intimidate the queen mother. Chen Lin used this plan to make all kinds of harm but no profit, so he advised He Jin, but He Jin refused to accept his words and eventually caused trouble. So Chen Lin took refuge in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao put him in charge of the rituals.
Yuan Shao, who cares about pomp and everything he does, could not have asked only eight people to discuss matters, so after hearing the lord's summons, dozens of ranks of advisers gathered in the hall of Yuan Shao's mansion before the designated time.
This hall is not ordinary big. The hall is wide enough to accommodate hundreds of people in the dance party without feeling crowded. The items placed inside are also rare antiques. Any one to be sold is enough to live a life of an ordinary family of food and clothing for several years. Compared with this hall, Cao Cao's meeting room in Xudu Sikong's mansion can only be considered a grass nest. It is said that some people advised that everything should be simple enough to be like this.
Yuan Shao, who had a full set of general's uniforms, walked out of the back hall in the eyes of everyone. He looked arrogant but humble, dressed luxuriously but not lacked majestic. He did have the style of a overlord. This kind of aura that he had developed since childhood was not something that anyone could have. After Yuan Shao sat down, the counselors said in unison: "I have seen the general!"
Yuan Shao said seriously: "I will give you a seat without gifts."
Dozens of strategists lined up on both sides and sat down. Yuan Shao said, "Liu Xuande told the emperor that the emperor had a decree to me and asked me to raise an army to fight against the traitors. I wonder what you have to do?"
Xu You and Cao Cao had a very good relationship and were reluctant to talk too much. Xun Chen was inconvenient to make suggestions because his brother Xun Yu and nephew Xun You were important officials under Cao Cao, so the two of them made up their minds to say nothing today.
Guo Tu rushed to say: "The lord is a general of the dynasty, with one person below ten thousand people below. Cao Aman of the eunuchs and his descendants were in power in Xudu. Since the lord has an imperial edict, he should be able to attack him! It is a blessing that the superiors are in line with the will of heaven and the inferiors are in line with the people's sentiments, which is really a blessing!"
Tian Feng stood up and advised, "Lord, no! It would be very unwise to raise an army to attack Cao Cao at this time!"
Yuan Shao held the table with his hands and said suspiciously: "Yuan Hao advised me to attack Xu Du and welcome the emperor last year, why did he obstruct the uprising of troops to fight against the thieves today?"
Tian Feng said: "It's different from the past! Cao Cao was unable to be in charge of the past two years. Although Xun Yu and Guo Jiading supported each other, these two were just ministers after all. In the past, the lord sent troops to attack Xu Du and could confront Cao's soldiers even if they were unable to win, forcing Cao's troops to force Cao's thieves to put the power on these two people. Although the ministers are talented, they are not the leader of the same place. After a long time of upholding power, they will easily cause changes. Even if these two people are loyal to Cao Cao and want to replace him, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and it is easier to feel suspicious on his sickbed.
If Xun Yu is long, Guo Jia will definitely be afraid of him. If he can eliminate these two people, he will be able to destroy Cao Cao. However, now he has heard that Cao Cao is already very good and can go out to manage political affairs in the morning. At this time, the Cao army is full of no flaws and Cao's troops are strong and cannot underestimate the enemy. It is better to hold on for a long time and wait for it to move. The army has been on the rise for many years, and the people are tired and the granaries are not accumulated, so the army cannot be restored. It is better to raise troops to station Liyang first; and even increase boats in Henoi, set up military weapons, dispatch elite troops, and station Bianbi. In three years, major events can be settled."
After hearing Tian Feng's words, someone was unhappy. Shen Pei stood up and said, "Otherwise, with the lord's Shenwu, the strength of Heshuo, it is easy to raise troops to fight against Cao's thieves, so why bother to delay the Sun and the Moon? There are so many false statements about Yuan Hao. Many officials from Xudu came to write letters to make friends with him better than the lord. How could they say that Cao Cao was united?"
Shen Pei was telling the truth. Xu Du did write letters to express his intention of being effective, so Tian Feng was speechless when asked.
"Most of the soldiers in Cao Cao's army were Yellow Turban bandits. Everyone knows who the Yellow Turban bandits are? " Seeing Tian Feng silent and silent, Shen Pei looked around proudly and bowed and said, "How can Cao Cao recruited these rebellious untouchables as soldiers and say that his troops were powerful?"
Tian Feng said: "After Cao Cao's laws were implemented, the soldiers were refined, which was different from those trapped by Gongsun Zan. Cao's soldiers attacked Lu Bu in Xuzhou and captured them, killed more than 100,000 Lu Bu and Liu Bei's coalition forces, but no more than 100,000 casualties were exceeded. The power of Cao's soldiers cannot be underestimated!"
Shen Pei laughed and said, "Lu Bu, Liu Bei's common man! The defeat of these two people was a trick of Guo Jia but did not know it, and there was a counselor Chen Gong but could not use it! If Lu Bu could listen to Chen Gong's words, how could Xuzhou be defeated? The victory of Cao's army in Xuzhou was not his powerful achievements!"
Tian Feng, who was not a good deal in the debate, was so choked by Shen Pei that he didn't know how to say it, but he was unwilling to admit defeat by being upright. Moreover, the matter discussed this time was related to the lord's great cause, and he had to fight to the end no matter what he said.
After all, Tian Feng was also a wise man. Seeing that he could not convince everyone on this point, he changed the topic and said: "The generals under Cao Cao were brave and good at fighting Xiahou. The Cao brothers, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin, and Yu Jin were all powerful, and there were many wise men. Xun Yu and Xun You were pillars, Cheng Yu was calm and steadfast, Jia Xu was vicious and vicious. These four people alone made it difficult to deal with it. There was still a way to make Cao Cao obey his words. This person was called a genius when he was studying in Yingchuan, and he had a reputation of perfection. On that day, Zhang Xiu was sentenced to Wancheng again. Guo Jiayuan quelled the rebellion with a few letters in Xudu. The battle in Xuzhou took only one day to kill Lu Bu and expel Liu Bei. This person should be the leader! We are unlikely to be his enemy..."
"Stop Tian Feng!" Someone stood up and shouted at Tian Feng for interrupting his words. It was not someone else but Feng Ji, who was originally not right with Tian Feng. Feng Ji, who was originally devoted to watching the fun, was not angry at all when he heard Tian Feng praise Cao Cao's generals for being brave. Anyway, he had already disliked the four pillars, but he couldn't stand Tian Feng's praise of Cao Cao's counselors so much, and Tian Feng also ranked himself in the ranks of fools who were not Guo Jia's opponents. How could Feng Ji, who was arrogant, stand it?
Feng Ji came to Tian Feng and said, "Do you know how the famous scholar Ni Heng evaluated Cao Cao's civil and military affairs?"
Tian Feng said: "I hope to hear the details!"
After clearing his throat, Feng Ji said, "Ni Heng said that Xun Yu could be mourned and asked about illness, Xun You could be allowed to look at the grave and guard the tomb, Cheng Yu could be allowed to close the door and door, Guo Jia could be used to recite poems for the song girl, Zhang Liao could be used to beat drums and sing gold, Xu Chu could be used to shed cattle and horses, Le Jin could be used to pick up letters and answer letters, Li Dian could be used to send letters and send letters, Lu Qian could be used to sharpen his knife and make swords, and Monopoly could be used to drink and eat trash, Yu Jin could be used to build walls, Xu Huang could be used to slaughter pigs and kill dogs, Cao Zi Xiaoke was the prefect of asking for money. The rest were clothes hangers, rice bags, wine barrels, and meat bags."
Yuan Shao laughed and said, "This person is very interesting!"
"Although Guo Jia is famous, he can match the Lords here? What are the fears of me? You have such a strong ambition to others to destroy our ambitions? Cao Cao obeys Guo Jiayan? Isn't the general knowing people and being good at entrusting them? When did the lord who has never adopted the advice offered by our advisers?" Feng Ji paused for a moment and pretended to be enlightened and said, "By the way! You - Tian Feng, Tian Yuanhao have offered several useless tricks. I remember that you once advised the lord to make promises as soon as possible and welcome the emperor, but it was not adopted by the lord. I believe I am very envious of Guo Jia for allowing Cao Cao to obey his words!"
Guo Tu and Shen Pei said in unison: "It must be so! Tian Feng must think that his lord is not as good as Cao Mengde!" The dozens of other people who could not interfere in either nodded repeatedly or looked at Tian Feng with disdain, and Tian Feng could not even speak out by the three of them. Yuan Shao's face looked very ugly when he sat on it.
Ju Su, a friend who was acquainted with Tian Feng, saw that his friend was bullied and said, "Yuan Hao is honest but not good at speaking, so he has no intention."
Guo Tu said: "If you know people, but not yours, you know them. Is there anyone who knows them? Tian Feng himself doesn't even defend himself, why should I stand up for him? Could it be that you two are in the same party?"
Tian Feng was furious and said, "I have a friendship with Ju Shu gentleman. How could I have a party like you and Shen Pei!"
Ju Su knew it was broken as soon as he heard it, and sure enough! As soon as Tian Feng said this, Guo Tu, Shen Pei and his two gangsters all came out to surround Tian Feng in the middle and asked in a lingering manner: "Are you a gentleman's friend? Why have we become a villain who gathers the party for personal gain?"
Yuan Shao frowned and was so messy that he was almost becoming a vegetable market. He slapped the table heavily and shouted: "What kind of decent! What kind of decent!"
The noisy people below calmed down amid Yuan Shao's shouts, bowed each other and returned to their respective positions.
Seeing that no one was talking, Yuan Shao coughed and said, "Tian Feng advised me to stick to it, Guo Tu, Shen Pei advised me to raise an army, what do you think!"
Xin Ping, a good friend of Guo Tu, stood up and said, "If Cao Cao deceives the king, if the lord does not criticize him, he may lose the righteousness of the world."
Yuan Shao said: "This is very good. I want to rectify the troops within three months. I will wait until next spring to lead the army to send Xu Du what do you think?"
Tian Feng advised again: "Guo Jia once said that he had won ten wins and ten defeats to Cao Cao. Although this statement was a quibble, there were some truths. The lord must not ignore his own faults. It is often unwise to use troops in a hurry!"
This theory of ten wins and ten defeats was reported from Xu Du two years ago. Yuan Shao got angry about this matter, and no one dared to mention it in front of Yuan Shao again. Tian Feng said this today, how did Yuan Shao get out of Taiwan? Yuan Shao slapped the table and said in a furious manner: "Tian Yuanhao, you are using literature and light military force, and I will lose my righteousness!"
Tian Feng paused his head and said, "If you don't listen to your good words, it will be unfavorable to go to the army."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was as if he was adding fuel to the fire and shouted angrily: "Come here! Push Tian Feng out and behead him." The soldiers from the hall rushed over and dragged Tian Feng out.
Seeing this, Ju Su knelt down in front of Yuan Shao and said, "Lord, calm down. Although Tian Feng has offended him, he will not die. I hope that the lord will not forgive him since he was loyal to him and had no major consequences since he followed him."
Seeing that Ju Su pleaded for Tian Feng and Tian Feng had made contributions to him, Yuan Shao wanted to relieve Tian Feng of his crime, but he couldn't hide his face and said, "Tian Feng was arrogant! But he thought that he had made contributions to me, so he saved him from death! Although he was exempted from death, he could not escape the crime of living. He imprisoned Tian Feng in prison. After I destroyed the traitors, I would deal with it."
Seeing that Tian Feng's life was safe, Ju Shu no longer wanted to express his gratitude and said no more after thanking him.
The atmosphere in the lobby was very awkward, and Yuan Shao was also very unnatural. He glanced at the hall and coughed dryly and said, "Youruo, Ziyuan, do you two think you are attacking Cao Cao? Are you not going to raise an army?"
Xun Chen and Xu You saw that Yuan Shao was not good at pretending to be deaf and dumb again, and there was Tian Feng's example in front of him, so they looked at each other and said in unison: "Ming Gong used the public to defeat the weak, attacked the weak with the strong, and fought against the Han thieves to support the royal family: it is just a matter of raising an army."
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said, "What the two of them saw is exactly what I want. I want to take Guandu first and then Tu Xudu in three months, okay?"
Since he had already said it, let's just say a few more words. Xu You said: "My lord can send a general from Liyang to capture the white horse and then conquer the East County, so that Cao Cao could not take care of each other. The lord restrained the main force of Cao's army at Guandu. This way, the troops directly took Xudu, and Cao Cao could be easily defeated in one battle."
Shen Pei said: "Baima and Dongjun are the places where the imperial villages are located. The lord's four generations and three kings have received the emperor's kindness. If the lord raises up and does not attack the Cao thieves and takes the imperial villages first, it will be a big deal, which may make the loyal and righteous people in the world feel disappointed. Moreover, there are millions of powerful soldiers in our four states, and only two or three hundred thousand peasant soldiers. Why do you need to divide the troops to attack?"
Xu You sighed in his heart and said no more, and Yuan Shao said, "Zhengnan's words are very consistent with my heart!"
Guo Tu, who was unwilling to be lonely, said, "With the righteousness of the Ming Duke, you must repeatedly attack Cao Cao, and send Cao a few commands to various counties, and then make a crime to punish him, and then be justified." Yuan Shao followed him and ordered Chen Lin to draft a proclamation. Chen Lin deserves to be a talented man who served as the secretary of two generals. After receiving the order, he gave an edict in the hall and wrote a proclamation. His writing was sprinkled thousands of words, which made Cao Cao go completely. Yuan Shao was overjoyed after reading the proclamation and ordered the envoy to travel across the prefectures and counties, and hang it at various passes.
The manifesto was passed to Xudu, and Cao Cao was resting on the bed. He was very troubled and did not dare to hide it. He passed the proclamation in. Cao Cao was frightened when he saw it. After sweating all over, he became much more energetic. If Yuan Shao knew about Chen Lin’s article on Cao’s 60% of the disease had been cured at once, he didn’t know what he wanted to think.
Cao Cao jumped up from the bed and asked Cao Hong: "Who did this work?"
Cao Hong replied: "I heard it was Chen Lin's pen."
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Those who have literary affairs must use martial arts to help them. Although Chen Lin's literary affairs are good, what is the shortcomings of Yuan Shao's martial arts!"
He also gathered all the strategists to discuss strategies to meet the enemy. At the beginning of Cao Cao's military meeting, an uninvited guest came.
Kong Rong, the young mansion who advocated a gentleman's uncontestedness, heard that Yuan Shao, the general who dominated the north, and Sikong Cao Cao were going to fight, he uninvited to enter Sikong Mansion when he saw Cao Cao, and said, "Yuan Shao is powerful and cannot fight with him, but can only be harmonious."
Xun Yu thought to himself: It seems that this Kong Rong was not angry enough by Guo Jia in the previous episode, and this time he actually talked about peace again. He said: "Why should Yuan Shao discuss peace with his useless person?"
Kong Rong is so angry! Guo Jia is not in Xudu, thinking that no one will instigate Cao Cao to fight against Yuan Shao, but Guo Jia is not there, Xun Yu comes out to argue again. Why are Cao Cao's subordinates all competitive people? Can't they sit down and talk calmly?
Kong Rong said: "Yuan Shao has four states, and his scholars are strong. His subordinates are like Xu You, Guo Tu, Shen Pei, and Feng Ji are all wise men; Tian Feng and Ju Su are all loyal ministers; Yan Liang and Wen Chou are bravest among the three armies; the other famous generals of Gao Lan, Zhang He, Chun Yu Qiong and others are all famous generals. - What is Shao a useless person?"
Xun Yu smiled and said, "Yuan Shao's army is numerous but not scheming. Tian Feng was tough and attacked the superiors. Xu You was greedy but not wise. He was dedicated but had no plans. He met Jiguo but was useless. Those who were these few people were incompatible and would have internal changes. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and the courage of ordinary men could be captured in one battle. What's the point of other people's mediocre generations? Didn't Kong Shao' forget the ten-win and ten-win situation of "Guo Fengxiao"? The Shaofu still didn't know that Tian Feng had been imprisoned by Yuan Shao and hurt his loyal ministers before he used troops. How could Yuan Shao be the enemy of Ming Gong?"
Kong Rong, who originally wanted to say something, was silent when he heard Guo Jia's name.
Cao Cao also laughed and said, "Nothing is available from Xun Wenruo's materials."
