Chapter 66
On the day when Yuan Shao's army arrived, Tian Feng, who was fainted by Guo Binghe with Ma Feisan, also came to Cao Cao's camp in Guandu. Hua Tuo's Ma Feisan really... needs improvement. When I asked him to get a medicine that would make people unconscious for more than ten days, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it. But unexpectedly, Hua Tuo actually said that those who drink his medicine would never wake up unless they were given antidotes. So he specifically reminded me that during these ten days, they must often give people who drink medicine some nutritional supplements such as body soup, otherwise they would not survive even if they drank the antidotes. This is not easy to deal with! I asked me to pretend to be sick. Nutritional supplements such as ginseng are delivered to the door every day. My house is almost a medicine shop. This time, Tian Feng was cheap. While handing Ma Feisan to Guo Binghe, he also sent the carefully selected tonics.
I hid from a distance and watched Hua Tuo give Tian Feng a medicine to understand. Why do I hide? Alas! The smell is so bad! Why doesn’t Tian Feng take a shower every ten days? Sweat! After Hua Tuo checked the pulse, he told me that Tian Feng should be able to wake up within half an hour. After thanking Hua Tuo, he asked someone to prepare ginger soup and bathing items. After arranging these, it was still early, so I told them to take good care of Tian Feng and go to see Cao Cao by himself. I should report the matter that Tian Feng brought.
When I arrived at the tent, I saw Cao Cao nowhere. After asking, I found out that Cao Cao had taken people to see Yuan Shao set up camp.
When Cao Cao looked at the Yuan army camp from a distance, he took a breath of the cold air in early spring. What is the concept of a ninety-mile joint camp? If an ordinary person walks ninety-mile miles, he basically has to go from sunrise to sunset. Is this ninety-mile camp second? The key is that there are 700,000 troops living inside.
From the report of the horse exploration, Yuan Shao sent about 300,000 troops outside to line up to protect the army to camp, which made Cao Cao give up the idea of launching a surprise attack while Yuan Shao set up camp.
Cao Cao was still very confident in the combat effectiveness of his troops and had some confidence in defeating Yuan Shao, but the huge gap in quantity still made him feel a lot of pressure. The 700,000 army on the opposite side was by no means a mob. Although many of the elite troops could not be said to have experienced many battles, there were many people who had experienced more than a dozen battle formations. After all, Yuan Shao has been fighting against Gongsun Zan in recent years. Moreover, Yuan Shao's army once defeated the white horse cavalry under Gongsun Zan with infantry in the Battle of Jieqiao, which was comparable to the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, which made Cao Cao, who knew the power of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, feel incredible and deeply shocked. Although there was nothing on the surface, the cold wind in early spring still blew Cao Cao from the inside out.
Dian Wei, who was guarding Cao Cao's safety, did not look at Yuan Shao's camp at this time. He was red and thick in his face, competing with something in his hand. An oval thing looked so small and cute against the backdrop of his wide palm, but Dian Wei didn't think that this little thing called egg was a little cute. He glared at the egg in his palm, held his breath and shouted in a low voice: "Hey!" Then he clenched his palm tightly, and looked at the sweat on his forehead and his clenched teeth. He concentrated all his strength on this clenched fist. But after using all the strength of his breasts, he couldn't feel the egg change at all. Dian Wei spread his palms and looked at the thing that would normally break if he touched it lightly.
Cao Cao turned around and looked at Dian Wei and the eggs in his hand, and asked unhappily: "What are you doing?"
Dian Wei said with a sad face: "Mr. Fengxiao made a bet with me in the morning... Compare strength, I lost!"
"What?" After hearing Dian Wei's words, not only did Cao Cao not believe his ears, but many of the group of generals who accompanied him almost fell off the horse.
Dian Wei's power is famous among the Cao army. Once, the main flag under the central army was blown by the wind and was about to fall, and the soldiers were holding the soldiers hostage. Dian Wei shook his arms and licked his mouth and shouted to retreat to the army, holding the flagpole in one hand, standing in the wind, and remained unmoved. From then on, if Dian Wei believed that he was the first in power, the most brave generals of the Cao army would dare to say that he was the third. But today I heard that Dian Wei said that he was comparing with Guo Fengxiao, who had no power to hide his chickens in their eyes, and he lost. How could this make people believe it?
Cao Cao said: "How did you compete?"
Dian Wei said: "Go back to my lord, Mr. Fengxiao brought a few eggs in the morning and said he wanted to compete with me who could crush the egg first. The loser would do something for the winner. As a result... I spent a long time trying to get the eggs but nothing happened, and Mr. Fengxiao grabbed the eggs lightly and broke them!"
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Is it a ghost that the eggs given to you by offering filial piety?"
"It shouldn't be!" Dian Wei tilted his head and thought for a long time and said, "I was dissatisfied at that time. Mr. Fengxiao asked me to choose any eggs and competed with me three times, but I lost every time!"
Everyone was surprised and said, "There are such strange things?"
"Let me try it!" Xu Huang said, and after taking the egg, he inhaled and exerted force like Dian Wei. Xu Huang had great self-sustaining power. Although he thought he was not as good as Dian Wei, he didn't care about a small egg, but today he was surprised. He saw that his forehead was sweating profusely for half a day, but the egg was still intact.
Including Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Li Dian and others who were not convinced also came forward to try it, but they had no choice but to use such a small thing!
Ma Chao, who came with him, was also happy to see the hunter. He took the egg, but he did not go up and hold it like others, but weighed the weight first. Well! Whether it was the appearance or the obvious shaking of the egg green and yolk inside, it was indeed an egg. Although he didn't know the specific reality of the generals of the Cao army, he was definitely not a person who was famous. Then this thing that could make these famous generals in the world could not do anything to them was definitely not an ordinary thing. So Ma Chao just held it hard, and saw that the egg was really not broken, so he no longer wasted his energy.
Cao Cao, who was already very novel, was puzzled when he saw that his generals did not really hold the thing that looked like an egg, so he asked someone to take the egg over and take it over and take a closer look, and then gently knocked it on the saddle.
"Ah!" As everyone exclaimed, crystal clear egg green surged out of the broken eggshell.
Cao Cao looked at the broken eggs under his hands blankly. After a while, he seemed to think of something and suddenly burst into laughter. A sudden feeling of enlightenment replaced the decadence in his heart. He said, "Go back to the camp!"
The generals also followed Cao Cao behind him and urged him to go with all his doubts.
Tian Feng, who was weak and dizzy, slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were gray. Where was this? After thinking hard for a while, Tian Feng subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face. He didn't feel anything. It seemed that he was really dead! This place must be what people talked about. I don't know if I can know the news of the lord's battle in this place. Although he knew that the battle was in great danger, he still hoped to hear the news of Yuan Shao's victory.
Looking back on the day when he was invited by the lord, he served as a different leader to save the royal family. At that time, with the reputation accumulated by the three generations of Yuan clan, heroes from all over the world came to join in. How wise the lord was at that time, and all the civil and military generals worked together. How vigorously the lords of the lords drove Dong Zhuo to flee under the order of the lord, but why? Why did the lords gradually pacify Hebei and Hu occupied the four prefectures, and from the prefect of Bohai to become the general of Weizhen, the four sides gradually
Can't listen to his and Ju Su's words? Especially when the emperor came to the east, the lord gave up such a good opportunity. Not bad! When Dong Zhuo fled west, he suggested that the lord did not have to lead troops to pursue him based on the situation that the princes had begun to be disinterested. This was the most in line with the lord's interests at that time. But who could have thought that the lord had mistakenly thought that staying away from the court was the best choice forever, and gave the opportunity to control the world at will to Cao Mengde, who was emerging in a sudden force.
When a good strategist makes suggestions, in addition to understanding his own strength, he must also be clear about his opponent's situation before he can make correct suggestions. Therefore, Tian Feng put a lot of effort into studying Yuan Shao's biggest opponent Cao Cao. As the research deepens, Tian Feng admires Cao Cao very much from the bottom of his heart. He can start his family with the declining Xiahou family and the lowly Cao family clan, and now he has unique features in grasping the opportunity and employing the princes. It depends on his ability to defeat the world and abandon the filial piety and honesty that he has been using for hundreds of years without using it. Although such a strategy of employing people offends the wealthy and prominent families in the world, it has also won the support of poor officials. How can such courage be underestimated?
But Cao Cao was not flawless. During the first battle of Xuzhou, he let his subordinates kill Bian Rang, the prestigious prefect of the Yanzhou Shilin, which was a big defeat, causing local officials represented by Chen Gong and Zhang Miao to abandon Cao Cao to welcome Lu Bu. What is surprising is that Cao Cao not only quickly recovered the lost territory with the support of poor scholars, but also took the opportunity to wipe out the local wealthy forces in Yanzhou. Although the subsequent series of internal coupons consolidated his power in Yanzhou and quickly improved his strength, he also placed himself on the opposite side of the wealthy families in the world. At that time, Tian Feng had already realized that if Cao Cao did not terminate his reforms in government orders and changed his attitude towards wealthy families, then his battle with Yuan Shao, a representative of the wealthy families in the north, would be inevitable.
According to the situation at that time, the sooner the battle with Cao Cao, the better, so I asked Ju Su to take Xu Du earlier. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao didn't know why, but he just couldn't listen and missed the best opportunity to fight Cao Cao in vain. If he didn't fight, it would be fine. Before the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, who had already pacified Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao no longer expanded his ability to strengthen his strength. As long as he could spend another three or five years...even two years! But now, Yuan Shao forced his war under the instigation of Shen Pei, Guo Tu and others.
Thinking of this, Tian Feng couldn't help but burst into tears, and turbid tears rolled from the corner of his eyes to the pillow. After a while of emotion, Tian Feng suddenly felt hungry! How strange? Can people feel hungry after death? Or is he not dead yet? Tian Feng sat up with difficulty, and his blurred vision gradually became clear after adapting to the light.
After looking around, Tian Feng confirmed that this was a tent. Judging from the interior that was not luxurious but very comfortable and practical, the owner of this tent should have a certain identity and know how to enjoy it very much.
At this time, several servants walked in with several wooden barrels of different sizes. The leader saw Tian Feng and hurriedly said, "Sir, are awake! Please take a shower and change your clothes!"
After nodding without comment, he drank a bowl of ginger soup and took a shower under the service of these servants. After doing this, the servant retreated, and the one who was still in the lead said, "Sir, my master will arrive in a while."
I was wandering around the central army tent for a long time and didn't wait for Cao Cao to come back. I was chatting with Xun You, who also came to Cao Cao. What are you talking about? Of course, it's not a major military and national affairs. I have talked enough of those headaches. And who stipulated that two men should not talk about Zhang's parents or Li's family's shortcomings together? I tempted Xun You to talk about his uncle Xun Wenruo when he was a child. Why? Because my addiction to inquire about other people's privacy has arisen again.
Xun You, who knows that my special hobby is a general who is blocked by the army and the water is covered by the soil. The problem for me is either to make a small effort or to move the target, and the whole thing is not in full swing.
Just when I was helpless, the follower came in and said, "Sir! The guest is awake."
Great! I got up and was about to leave. Xun You grabbed me and asked, "What guest?"
"Customer from afar!" Xiaobian! I won't tell you!
"It's not that simple, right?" Xun Youcai didn't believe my perfunctory words. He whispered: "Wen Ruo was a stunning woman who was young and didn't want to find a living. Alas... the woman's name... why can't I remember it suddenly!"
Is there something like this? I stopped and said seriously: "Please wait for the lord to come back and tell me, and then Tian Feng, Tian Yuanhao is here to sit in my place."
Xun You was shocked. Although he was prepared in his heart that Guo Jia's guests must be related to this battle, according to Xun You's speculation, the most of the guests was Guo Tu. Xin Ping, the people who had been familiar with Guo Jia in Yingchuan Academy sent to communicate information. But Tian Feng's arrival was something he had never expected. Xun You met Tian Feng when he was in Luoyang. While impressed by his talent and knowledge, he also knew that this person was strong and loyal, so even if Yuan Shao came here himself, he would not be so shocked.
I patted Xun You on the shoulder and said, "The name of that stunning beauty..."
Xun You said casually: "Cai Yan!"
A very familiar name! Cai Yan? By the way! Isn’t it Cai Yan, a talented woman who has been famous all over the world? Cai Wenji! It was captured by Dong Zhuo’s general during the war, and was later robbed by Zuo Xianwang of the Southern Xiongnu! In fact, it was not only Xun You, but I was afraid that the talented men with some reputation at that time would have such a little interest in this talented woman, as if Cao Cao was also interested in her. I remember that in my previous life I watched a TV series "Cao Cao and Cai Wenji", which was about Cao Cao's admiration for Cai Yan. Regardless of whether the description in the TV series is true or false, just look at the previous episode of the citizen level division strategy that I suggested can be so smoothly as the law. I am afraid that the two key people in this - Xun Wenruo and Cao Mengde, may really be influenced by Cai Wenji being captured by the Huns!
Okay, I have made a profit now. I will find a way to get Xun Wenruo to fight the Huns in the future. First, he will be in charge and have logistics guarantees; second, can he avoid conflicts in the case of Cao Cao's title of King of Wei.
I patted Xun You on the shoulder with some smugness and said, "Please wait for your lord here. I'm going to greet Tian Yuanhao... my eldest nephew!"
"Get out!" Xun You laughed and scolded: "You must greet Yuan Hao well! I will wait for my lord and go over together."
When I walked into the tent, Tian Feng looked at me and said something, which scared me. He said, "You must be Guo Jia, known as a genius!"
Damn! Awesome! Talent!
I was able to speak my name with my mouth open without any information source. What really made me admire was that I was promising.
I bowed and said, "It's just Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao! But I wonder how Lord Tian is sure that he is here?"
Tian Feng smiled slightly at me, making me creepy, and seeing me was so happy. He heard him say, "People say that Guo Jia never leaves his hands all year round, and holds a feather fan in this early spring season - so the elegance is not the prodigal son Guo Jia, or others?"
This is enough to hurt! It is obvious that I am not handsome, but I am not cool. There is no room for anything in my words. No wonder Yuan Shao doesn't like you! I couldn't help but shake the fan in my hand to dispel my embarrassment, but after a few swearings, I realized that it was even more embarrassing. It was not right to incite me, nor was it right to incite me.
Tian Feng ignored my embarrassment at all, and said, "What do you mean by turning me from Yizhou?"
Why do you sound so awkward? If you want to kidnap, you can kidnap your beautiful sister! I smiled and said, "Jia Zai, Xudu, heard that the adults were in prison and could not bear to see him suffer, so I asked the adults to come here to be a guest."
After a sneer, Tian Feng said, "I dare not let Master Sikong be so worried. If he thought it well, this place should be Guandu. At this moment, my lord Yuan's army should be not far from here, so please send Mr. Guo over to him!"
This is not possible, I smiled and said, "Mr. Tian came from afar, how could he leave just by saying that! If he spread it, it would definitely make people think that Guo was not greeting him."
Chapter completed!
