Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1618 Listener and Speaker

Perhaps it is because everyone's genes are different, so everyone has more or less loneliness, and this loneliness is manifested in many ways, some people are just sentimental, while others are is completely self-centered.

Self-centered people are not completely bad people, but the word selfishness can’t be escaped in general, especially after doing something, it’s like throwing an ax and looking at the neighbor’s children. Like a thief who stole an axe, when there is a problem, he often stares at others, suspicious of the motives of others...

It’s like Ah Q in Lu Xun’s works. Because there are scars on his head, not only can others not say the words leprosy, sore, and scar, but even the words light, light, and flash are all considered to be talking about himself, and then he becomes angry. Furious, he insisted on arguing with others.

Xu You under Yuan Shao's tent is actually a selfish person, but the problem is that selfish people often don't think that they are selfish, but that others are selfish, so when he heard that Zhang Xi was defeated, he couldn't help but Laughing loudly, he danced and danced in his tent. For him, it was a joyful thing to see the people in Jizhou suffer.

Who let the people in Jizhou compete with him for business before?
Colleagues are enemies!

But when Xu You was happy, he forgot one thing. This place is in the big camp, not his own small courtyard in Yecheng, Jizhou...

Xu You knew about Zhang Yun's defeat, so Yuan Shao naturally understood it more clearly.

The next day.

Inside the large tent of the Chinese Army, although it was magnificent and warm and pleasant, Yuan Shao's face was as sinking as water, but it made people feel that the temperature was approaching freezing point.

Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. There is nothing to say about this. Not all battles can be successful, and not everyone can ensure that all battles will be victorious. You can pursue such a state, but failure is not a complete task. unacceptable thing.

It's like a high-ranking official who was defeated in a battle. Am I punished heavily?
Just like that idiot Chun Yuqiong was defeated, I have... Uh, that idiot Chun Yuqiong is dead, so forget it, I didn't hold his family accountable, did I?

It doesn't matter if you lose the army!

It doesn't matter!

Yuan Shao's face was full of clouds, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

But you, Zhang He, surrendered Cao Aman so simply and neatly!
What does this mean? !

"General..." The soldiers outside the tent reported cautiously, "Tian Biejia is here..."

"Biography!" Yuan Shao uttered a word between his teeth.

Tian Feng lowered his head, and after entering the big tent, he threw away the crutch in his hand, paid homage, and said that he had committed a serious crime.Tian Feng is also quite familiar with Yuan Shao's temperament, so in such a clear situation, it is the most important thing to express an attitude without saying any excuses.

Afterwards, Yuan Shao wanted to maintain the generous image he had formed before, and he couldn't force too much on those who confessed their mistakes, so Tian Feng naturally admitted his mistakes sincerely.

The corners of Yuan Shao's eyes twitched, he closed his eyes, and took two deep breaths before Tian Feng got up to answer.Tian Feng was familiar with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao had been familiar with Yuan Shao for so many years, even if he was not familiar with him at first, he knew a little bit now, so seeing Tian Feng's attitude, the anger in his heart not only did not disappear, but became even hotter, but Yuan Shao When he knew it wasn't an attack, he endured it and listened to what Tian Feng had to say...

"My lord is generous and wise, it's really a blessing for my subjects..." Tian Feng flattered him, and found that it didn't achieve the desired effect, so he immediately turned to practical issues, "Although there is a defeat today, we can know three things. One is that the cavalry of the Cao bandits is in Heluo, and the Qingzhou area must be empty! You can quickly hide and enter, and don't miss the opportunity! The second is that the Cao bandits are hunting, and the soldiers will be rushed back and forth, and the road will be exhausted! But the Chinese army will take turns. Formation attack, attacking the soldiers will be exhausted! Three things..."

Yuan Shao nodded slowly.

Tian Feng is indeed a strategist, this is undeniable.From Zhang Yun's defeat, Tian Feng deduced two aspects that were more beneficial to Yuan Shao, and these two aspects were indeed Cao Cao's weaknesses.

Cao Cao wants to encircle and defeat Zhang Yun, whether he gathers troops from the side or transfers troops from the front, it will lead to the situation Tian Feng said, and Cao Cao's original strength is not many, so Qingzhou is empty and the soldiers are rushing back and forth Fatigue can be said to be an inevitable situation at the moment, so Tian Feng almost immediately turned the unfavorable news of Zhang Yun's defeat into an advantage that can be used in the future.

Tian Feng glanced at Yuan Shao's expression, and found that Yuan Shao's expression had softened, and continued, "...Thirdly, General Zhang entered Heluo in the south. Du... about this matter, Feng secretly thought... maybe someone leaked the news..."

"What?!" Yuan Shao's eyes widened.

"My lord has always been generous, accepting scholars from all over the world..." Tian Feng cupped his hands and said, "This is the foundation of my lord's hegemony, so I can't help being abusive and confused..."

Yuan Shao, however, had a headache. He knew that the people under his command had their own factions, and there were many ties to each other, but he didn't expect this problem to become more and more serious now, and it became more and more obvious...

"According to your wishes..." Yuan Shao sneered twice, staring at Tian Feng and said, "Could it be that the people from Yuzhou sent the news secretly?"

Tian Feng cupped his hands and said: "I... I don't know yet... I and others are so heartless that they are all plotting for the Lord..."

"Enough!" Yuan Shao slapped the table and shouted in a deep voice.

Tian Feng said that he was loyal, not really just to clear himself of the crime, at least not entirely, and he was also suspected of putting his hat on the heads of the Yuzhou faction.According to Tian Feng, the Jizhou faction only supports Yuan Shao, and the Yuzhou faction, haha, that is a slave with three surnames, uh, a slave with three surnames...

"Tian Yuanhao!" Yuan Shaoteng stood up suddenly, pointed like a halberd, and roared angrily at Tian Feng, "You are a different person, you don't seek to advance, you slander your colleagues, and you fail in many strategies, so that the general will die in the battle. , The soldiers are dying in the wild! If you are innocent, how can you convince the people? How can you rule the army? How can you appease the resentment of the world? Come on!"

"Don't drive the field to the crown! Lock it up in the supply camp! Unless someone orders it, no one else can visit it!"

Immediately, soldiers rushed into the big tent, knocked off Tian Feng's crown with one hand, set it up immediately, and dragged away!

Tian Feng yelled, but Yuan Shao did not change his mind. Instead, he stared at Tian Feng with his hands behind his back, until Tian Feng's voice gradually faded away, and then slowly sat back on the table, and then pondered for a while, He issued an order: "Come here! Tell Xu Ziyuan to come!"

Not long after, Xu You arrived trembling with three long beards.

Yuan Shao scolded, "I defeated Heluo, why are you happy? Huh? Could it be that you want me to die here?"

Xu You was so frightened that he was out of his wits, he rushed forward, bowed his head to the ground, and expressed to Yuan Shao that he was loyal and loyal, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be disrespectful to Yuan Shao...

Yuan Shao didn't listen too much. After snorting coldly, he ordered Xu You to be taken down like a soldier, and was imprisoned in the supply camp. Then he waved his sleeves angrily and turned back to the back tent.

...here is the dividing line...

The news spread that Tian Feng and Xu You were imprisoned. Naturally, many people in Yuan Jun's camp had their own interpretations of this matter, and Yuan Shang was no exception, and he interpreted it directly in front of Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shang was ill some time ago, and he just recovered not long ago, and the blood on his face is not very full, but it is precisely because of this, coupled with the original handsome appearance, that there is a kind of morbid beauty, if it is placed in later generations, it will definitely be confused. A group of rotten girls yelled at Xiao Shou with red eyes...

"Let's talk about it, it doesn't matter if you say something wrong..." Yuan Shao changed his angry face in front of the Chinese army tent, but smiled gently, encouraging Yuan Shang to say.

Although Yuan Shang is not too old, Yuan Shao felt that it was necessary for Yuan Shang to know some techniques to check and balance the power of the emperor, so he consciously guided and taught it to Yuan Shang.

"This matter..." Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Shao's face, and then said, "Father is actually... not just angry with Tian and Xu..."

It is actually every child's instinct to observe words and expressions, er, except for bear children.Therefore, for Yuan Shang, to perceive Yuan Shao's current true emotions from the subtle changes on Yuan Shao's face is already a special skill that has been tested and cultivated through practice and time.

So Yuan Shang felt that although Yuan Shao was very angry in the outside rumors, after meeting him, he found that Yuan Shao was actually not that angry...

Yuan Shao nodded, and laughed twice: "My son is really smart... Come on, let's talk about it, why do you do this for a father..."

"Why?" Yuan Shang's heart shrank slightly.

As a child, maybe even an adult, the best thing is that you can keep asking others why. Of course, the worst time is when others keep asking yourself why.

How do I know why!
It's a pity that Yuan Shang couldn't say this sentence, so he could only think hard...

Yuan Shao waited patiently, and then felt that he should give Yuan Shang a hint, so he took out a small bag from his sleeve, put it on the table, and motioned Yuan Shang to look at it for himself.

Yuan Shang opened the small cloth bag and looked, and couldn't help frowning, even his nose was also wrinkled.

Inside the cloth bag were some mildewed corn. The off-white and dark green mold covered up the supposedly bright colors, and also exuded a disgusting smell.

"This..." Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao knocked on the table, looking a little annoyed, "Among the new batch of military rations, [-]% of them are moldy..."

"This..." Yuan Shang suddenly thought of the connection, and couldn't help but suddenly said, "It turns out that my lord father is Mingxiu plank road and secretly hiding in Chencang!"

Yuan Shao laughed loudly, and then said softly: "It's just...the army's advance is extremely dangerous. Is it a defeat..." Yuan Shao frowned slightly, thinking of the kid Zhang Yun, then exhaled, and continued , "It's also normal, but the military rations are mixed with moldy food and grass, this matter is no small matter..."

There is old rice in the army ration, this is normal, no one can guarantee that the war will be fought in the current season, and then all the rice will be eaten, but the old rice can be eaten, but the mildewed one cannot be used!
At any time, a problem with military rations is a big event!

Even in later generations, Ah San said that there would be a sit-in demonstration without curry, and that there would be no war if there was no war.For pawns, rations are basically equivalent to a stable rear. If there is a problem with rations, it means that there is a problem with the rear. This is not negative news that all soldiers can be exempt from.

After all, the distance between Zhang Yun's victory and defeat is relatively far away. Ordinary soldiers don't have a deep feeling, but such soldiers and rations are seen every day!
Once something happens, it's a big deal!
Among them, the two main people are Tian Feng and Xu You.

Tian Feng is in charge of dispatching people from Jizhou, while Xu You is in charge of purchasing supplies for the back camp. Which link has the problem?For Yuan Shao, he hoped that there was a problem with Xu You, because if there was a problem with Tian Feng, it would represent the gentry of Jizhou...

So, don't be careless.

Yuan Shao deliberately isolated the two from contact with the outside world, and it was also out of this consideration.

"Besides..." Yuan Shao pointed to the small bag on the table, "Shang Er knows, who sent this thing?"

Yuan Shang shook his head.

"It's Guo Gongze!" Yuan Shao snorted twice, "And it was sent after Zhang Junyi's defeat...huh..."

Yuan Shang was not stupid, he understood after thinking about it, and said: "Could it be that Mr. Guo knew about this a long time ago, but he didn't send it until the news of the defeat came?"

Yuan Shao closed his eyes and remained silent.

"Understood... Father's arrest of the two this time also meant to balance the relationship between Hebei and Yu..." Yuan Shang added, "If only Tian Yuanhao was taken, Yuzhou would be complacent...and vice versa..."

Yuan Shao nodded, opened his eyes, looked at Yuan Shang with relief, nodded and said, "Exactly, my son can think of this, yes, yes..."

Yuan Shao carefully mentioned: "The more critical the time is, the more cautious we need to be. Don't panic, don't be reckless, and don't listen to one side or believe it because of it... Only then can we turn the crisis into safety...My son, remember it..."

If Yuan Shao had learned some basic pedagogy, I am afraid that he would not raise some points with good intentions now, because such a point is not only useless, but will affect Yuan Shang's own thinking.Because firstly, I didn’t come up with it by myself, so the impression is not so deep, and secondly, I may have misremembered other words in the process, just like my parents repeatedly told me not to buy soy sauce, don’t buy soy sauce, don’t buy soy sauce, and the result When the child arrives at the store, supermarket, etc., when he thinks about it, what are the parents going to buy?

soy sauce!

Yuan Shang naturally responded repeatedly.

Yuan Shao nodded, then pointed to the small cloth bag and said: "Someone needs to sit in the army... I will leave this matter to Shang'er. You take this with you, and at night, go and ask the two of them carefully..."
