Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 399 This pen can kill people, and it can also kill hearts!

Lu Yu's eyes were full of doubts.

A title, a name, has already come from Cai Zhaoji's mouth.

——"Spirit, Zheng Xuan".

Even if there are only four words, even if it is just a name and a title, "Zheng Xuan" has far-reaching meaning to the entire scholar circle and the entire Han Dynasty. Even when Cai Zhaoji chanted these four words, his voice was extremely respectful and serious... Don't dare to be blasphemy!

Let alone her, it is her father Cai Yong...

When referring to this "spiritual god and great Confucianism", we should also show a very low profile.

There are many big men with titles...

But... In the current world, Zheng Xuan, the "spiritual god" who is as famous as the "sea of ​​learning" He Xiu, his title is undoubtedly the most shining one!
"Zheng Xuan, whose name is Kangcheng, is from Beihai. He was known as a child prodigy when he was young. When he grew up, he was respected and appreciated by local officials. He taught at Taixue when he was in his 20s."

Cai Zhaoji told about his life one by one.

It seems that he intends to introduce Brother Yu in a grand and detailed manner.

"After resigning from Taixue, Zheng Xuan traveled to study in You, Bing, Yan, and Henan. He visited famous Confucian scholars, turned to many teachers, humbly asked for advice, read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, worked tirelessly, and diligently sought the Tao..."

"Afterwards, together with Lu Zhi, he studied under Ma Rong for many years. At the age of 40, he had already become a well-known master of modern and ancient literature and classics in the whole Han Dynasty!"

"Later, due to the disaster of the party, he avoided disaster in Donglai and taught his disciples...Thousands of people from far and near came to his sect and worshiped him as their teacher. Once the "Thirteen Classics" that he and his disciples annotated were published, other All the annotations have been discarded, and traditional Confucianism has entered the era of small unification! If in the past, my father was the leader of the northern scholars, then...Zheng Xuan is the leader of the world's scholars! He is the leader of my father!"

call…

Hearing this, Lu Yu breathed out lightly.

Even though he knew Zheng Xuan a little bit, Lu Yu was able to do his part by inviting Zheng Xuan out of the mountain this time.

Can…

Listening to Sister Zhaoji's tone and voice, it seems that when mentioning this god, she seems to have transformed into a little fan girl when she was chasing stars...

It can also be seen from here, the energy of this God Zheng Xuan.

"Sister Zhaoji? Has Zheng Xuan arrived yet?" Lu Yu asked proactively.

"It's almost time to enter the city at this time... But..." Cai Zhaoji nodded, but there was a look of embarrassment in her eyes.

"But what?" Lu Yu asked.

"There are so many scholars who came with him, I'm afraid...the posthouse can't even accommodate them."

Uh... many?
Sister Zhaoji blurted out these words, Lu Yu rolled his eyes, and muttered in his heart... What is so many?Wouldn't it be hundreds of people?Come around?

It seems that Lu Yu underestimated the star chasing ability of this era. Zheng Xuan's status in the circle of Han scholars is no less than Liu Tianwang's status in the entertainment circle in his previous life.

"There are more than 8000 scholars..." Cai Zhaoji said truthfully...

Ah...eight thousand?
Lu Yu was stunned, thousands of miles away from Donglai to Xu Capital City, surrounded by eight thousand disciples?

Obedient!
I don't know, I thought it was... an army of princes?No wonder...Zheng Xuan wrote back to Sister Zhaoji saying that there is no need to send someone to escort, this battle...who would dare to hijack her?

With a "gudong", Lu Yu swallowed...

Cai Zhaoji's words continued. "Originally there were 2000 disciples of Zheng Xuan. The scholars along the way heard that the God of Scripture was going to give lectures in Xu Capital City and restart the Yuedan Review, and they followed one after another... More and more people came. During the journey of more than 2000 days, there were 8000 people. The team has expanded to more than [-] scholars!"

gosh...

Lu Yu sighed in his heart, this is a response to everyone, this is a proper sense of sight of a "big star", not to mention Liu Tianwang, the four heavenly kings come together... there is no such battle!
Of course, this... can be regarded as excusable.

You know, the last time God of Jing Zheng Xuan was invited by Cai Yong to give lectures at Luoyang Taixue, even Cao Cao planned to follow him to Donglai to study and learn from teachers!

If Cao Song hadn't locked Cao Cao in the house, he wouldn't have been able to keep him safe... Now the old Cao has become the successor of the "spirit"!

"Cough cough..."

With a light cough... Lu Yu patted his chest lightly.

at this time…

"Master Lu..." Dian Wei stepped in, saw Cai Zhaoji was there, bowed his hands, and Cai Zhaoji bowed back.

Immediately afterwards, Dian Wei's rough voice resounded: "There are a lot of people gathered at the East City Gate, tens of thousands of them. I heard that someone is giving lectures outside the East City Gate. There is a huge momentum!"

Huo…

After saying this, Lu Yu and Cai Zhaoji looked at each other.

Immediately...Lu Yu didn't hesitate, grabbed Cai Zhaoji's delicate hand...and ran towards the east gate.

Spiritual Lectures…

The last time Zheng Xuan gave lectures in the imperial capital was when Cao Cao was 20 years old, and it has been 20 years since now.

Times have changed…

But... scholars' worship and yearning for the scriptures have never changed!

so-called...

Only by winning the heart of a scholar can the world be determined!

A feeling suddenly arose in Lu Yu's heart, since Zheng Xuan has come, he must be kept. If this spiritual man can join the Cao camp, he may be comparable to the "Thirty" Wanxiong soldiers.

It is true that someone can kill with a knife, but Zheng Xuan's "pen" can also kill!
Situ Mansion is located on Xudu East Street, not far from the East Gate...

It's really faster than a horse-drawn carriage by running unevenly!

In the streets and alleys, it can be seen from far away that a handsome young man is running wildly pulling an elegant woman, which attracts people's attention!

...

...

Xu Capital City, Sikong Mansion?
Zheng Xuan is here?

At the same time that Long Xiaoying reported the "Zheng Xuan Lecture" outside the Dongcheng Gate to Situ's Mansion, the Huben Army also reported the matter to Cao Cao.

Hearing "Zheng Xuan Lectures"...

Cao Cao suddenly stood up, and even Xun Yu, who was discussing affairs in the Sikong Mansion at this time, had big eyes and an inconceivable expression.

"I heard that Kong Rong took a group of officials to 'kneel to the gods' outside the East City Gate, and scholars from the entire Xu Capital City also flocked to the East City Gate... There are probably tens of thousands of people gathered there now."

Xu Chu reported the situation of Dongcheng Gate one by one.

The so-called "kneeling scripture god" is a special way of worshiping Zheng Xuan by scholars and Confucian scholars!

Zheng Xuan translated Confucianism, and Confucian scholars and scholars have read Confucianism translated by him since they were young.

Kneeling to benefactor... this is reasonable.

Huo…

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed. "Unexpectedly, my sister Cai Yanxian really invited the 'Jingshen'..."

At this moment, Cao Cao was shocked, even excited!

"We are now in a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. What is Zheng Xuan's identity? Under such circumstances, he appeared in Xu Capital City. Haha, at least, it can save Yuan Shao the risk of 'inviting' him into Jizhou and capturing the hearts of scholars!"

"Yes!" Xun Yu nodded repeatedly. "Zheng Xuan's position determines the position of the scholars in the world. If so...if Zheng Xuan can be allowed to join the Cao camp, then its value is no less than 30 soldiers!"

"Hahahaha..." Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed out loud. He turned his head, looked at Xun Yu, and said with a smile. "Zheng Xuan, doesn't that explain the problem that such a famous Confucian can come to Xudu? Although my sister Cai Yanxian is a talented woman in the world, it is far from enough to invite a 'spiritual god'. This time he can appear ...It must have something to do with Lu Situ, since..."

When mentioning Lu Yu, Cao Cao paused for a moment, and immediately added a certainty to his words.

"Since Lu Situ is able to invite him, he will definitely be able to keep him, even if he doesn't join the Cao camp? But at least, it's okay to join the Long Xiao camp, no matter how bad it is, to join the court."

Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao and nodded heavily.

"Yes!"

There is so much excitement in this word.

"Let's go..." Cao Cao's eyes suddenly ignited a raging fire. "Wen Ruo, the last time you 'kneeled to the God of Scripture' was 20 years ago, today we might as well go to Dongcheng Gate to listen to the teaching of the God of Scripture again..."

"Don't hide from Cao Sikong, Xun is also yearning for it!" Xun Yu smiled slightly.

Ha ha…

Cao Cao grabbed Xun Yu's arm, and the Huben army had already cleared the way, and the two quickly walked towards the east gate.

Yes…

The decisive battle between Cao and Yuan is imminent, Cao Cao has the emperor, Yuan Shao has Liu Bei's clothes and belts...

This is a morally equal match!

Under such circumstances, it becomes extremely important to win the support of scholars, the support of justice and morality from the world.

It just so happens that Zheng Xuan alone can represent most of the scholars, axioms and morality in the world!
——Only by winning the heart of a scholar can the world be ruled!
...

...

Jizhou, Yecheng!

With a "bang", Yuan Shao slammed his fist heavily on the copybook.

A series of emergency reports...

Turn him into a raging bull!

—— Koji betrayed!
——Gao Gan was captured

——The four armies of Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Yun, and Gao Lan were defeated.

Yuan Shao felt that his face was being rubbed on the ground by Cao Cao and Lu Yu, and he was almost rubbing the steps of a devil!

"Qu Yi, Qu Yi... How can there be such a reason, how can there be such a reason..."

Yuan Shaoyou roared freely...

His heart is as big as a little finger, and he can't even stand being contradicted, let alone being betrayed, being teased by Qu Yi and the remnants of the Yanmen...

At this moment, he wished he could tear Qu Yi into pieces!

"My lord, that's not right..." Xu You rolled his eyes, and he also heard the urgent report, but his attention was all on the generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Yun, and Gao Lan.

"Even if Qu Yi betrayed and General Gao Gan was killed, but...Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan all marched together, how could they not be able to turn the tide and turn defeat into victory? But they...abandoned the attack and retreated voluntarily? Fighter... why is this?"

Xu You repeatedly questioned...

He is a proud man, and he claims that the strategy he set up is foolproof, but...in the end, he was defeated. Before Yuan Shao dumped the blame on him, he had to get rid of it first.

"Didn't it be mentioned in the dispatch that someone from an expert would suggest something?" Ju Shou reminded.

Indeed, it was mentioned in the letter that a young man in a white robe and bamboo hat informed General Four that there was an ambush in the valley.

If the cavalry entered... Once the entrance and exit of the valley were blocked, all the arrows would be fired, and the [-] cavalry would be ruined in vain.

Considering...the soldiers and horses from all walks of life heard that the high-ranking officials were attacked, and they were bound to rush to the rescue. In a hurry, they would not pay too much attention to the ambushes in these valleys!

Then...

If it was arranged by Yin Lin, this strategy would be powerful!
From this point of view, the young man in the white robe and hat is a friend rather than an enemy.

Besides…

The dispatch also specifically mentioned that this young man in a white robe and bamboo hat had a jade pendant on his body, which was the same jade pendant as the three sons of the Yuan family, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang.

This point... Jushou thought for a long time, but he didn't understand why, he frowned slightly, and began to think carefully.

precisely.

Bringing up this topic...

Yuan Shao's face suddenly tightened, as if he was a little nervous, this kind of expression is extremely rare!
"It's him…"

whispered softly...

"Who is it?" Ju Shou was the closest to Yuan Shao and asked quickly.

Yuan Shao waved his hand and ended the topic!
Because of "him", Yuan Shao calmed down a lot. He put his hands behind his back and paced left and right... Immediately he stood in front of the map, his eyes narrowed...

Carefully scan the map here to calmly and delicately analyze the current situation.

"Yanmen is a frontier, and there are many valleys. Even if you can take it by force, if you fall, you will suffer heavy losses. Besides, Yanmen is close to the Southern Huns and Xianbei. Recently, inexplicable...the actions of these barbarians It's kind of weird!"

Speaking of here…

Yuan Shao pointed his finger at Yecheng on the map, and swipe down in the direction of Yecheng... Finally, "Yanjin" stagnated on the north bank of the Yellow River, "White Horse" on the south bank of the Yellow River, and "Guandu" completely opened the gap in Yanzhou!
Yuan Shao's voice came out one after another.

"Yanmen is just a few bandits. The defense is stronger than the attack, so there is nothing to be afraid of! The real battlefield is the frontal battlefield between me and Cao Cao. It is Yanjin, Baima and Guandu! As long as I send an army south to defeat Cao Cao, then The remnants of Yanmen will be destroyed without attacking... Don't you always say that Cao Cao is the one who is fighting with me for the world? Now, the time has come to go south and attack Xudu, right?"

This is out of the way...

Yuan Shao looked around at the people in the big tent.

Tian Feng was the first one to stand up. Seeing him stand up, Yuan Shao felt a little bit secretly happy. He muttered to himself, Tian Feng is the main fighter. Last time...others suggested not to attack, but he was the only one Feng proposed to ask Yuan Shao to abandon Gongsun Zan and the remnants of Yanmen, go south to attack Xudu in one go, and exchange homes with Cao Cao!
Don't think about it this time, it should be to support yourself, right?

never thought...

Yuan Shao's smile just came into being, and then he started to be slapped in the face, and his smile froze.

"My lord, the top priority is not to go south to attack!"

Tian Feng still maintained his upright character.

"Nowadays, the Yanmen bandits in Bingzhou are not only unrested, but because of the joining of Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yan, Qu Yi and others, their strength has not been what it used to be, and should not be underestimated! Moreover, the plan to attack Cao on the Five Routes has failed, and Cao Cao led the army back. Xudu, now... the city of Xudu is not empty, and the Cao army along the Yellow River is also waiting in full battle... If you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss in such a decisive battle going south!"

When Tian Feng talked about this...

Yuan Shao's expression froze, and his eyes seemed to be soaked in ice for thousands of years.

But Tian Feng, who always said what he said, didn't care about it.

His words continued. "Yuan Gong needs to face up to the current situation. In terms of diplomacy, Cao Jun is completely superior to our army. In terms of military strength, Cao Jun is not weaker than our army. Cao Jun is even better than our army. Reversal, now Yuan Gong is the weaker side!"

"Since ancient times, how can the weak side take the offensive? The reason for the strong side to take the defensive? This is clearly an illusion created by the Yin Lin, which led Yuan Gong to the south for a decisive battle... In my opinion, it is better to fight for a long time than to risk a decisive battle. Fight, figure out the situation before deciding on the offensive!"

"Use five years to slowly advance and eat away the remnants of Yanmen, and also use these five years to build up the four northern states, re-establish diplomacy, strive to unite with more allies, and form a resistance Cao's united front... the population of our four states in the north is twice that of the Central Plains, and the land is far more than that of the Central Plains, and in five years... Yuan Gong's strength is bound to increase dramatically."

Speaking of this, Tian Feng paused, raised his eyebrows, and continued.

"At the same time, in the past five years, we can continue to send elite soldiers to harass Cao Cao in several ways, so that he can't do agriculture and production with peace of mind. Just like Cao Cao used to fight against moth thieves in the past, attacking as a supplementary, harassing In my humble opinion, within five years, Cao Cao is bound to be dragged down. At that time...Yuan Gong is concentrating all his strength on a decisive battle with the Cao bandits. If he succeeds, the world will be settled, but even if he fails, It won't be too painful to lose the four northern states!"

Reasonable, reasonable...

Justified...

It can be said that Tian Feng's proposal is perfect, and it avoids many pitfalls for Yuan Shao by making use of his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, so that Yuan Shao can remain invincible!
If Yuan Shao follows this strategy, whether he will win is not certain, but Cao Cao will definitely feel very uncomfortable!
Rather…

Every time Yuan Shao holds a council, he will always maintain an extremely distinctive feature.

——That is... always to solicit erroneous opinions that can push one's great cause to the abyss!

Same this time!
After listening to Tian Feng's words...

On Yuan Shao's stagnant face, his brows were frowned.

It can be said that many of the points mentioned by Tian Feng are "Ni Lin" that Yuan Shao cannot face!
For example... What is a reversal of strength and weakness?

What does it mean that Cao Cao has become a stronger party now?
Bah... Cao Cao is a eunuch raising grandson. In the past, he was just Yuan Shao's younger brother and stinky follower... No matter how strong he is now, how can he be stronger than Yuan Shao's fourth generation and third son's lintel, and his big brother.

and also…

What is "Cao Jun's complete victory in diplomacy"?
What is "Cao's army is not weak in terms of military strength"?
What do you mean by "the best soldiers and fierce generals, Cao Jun wins?"

Bah, bah!
Yuan Shao glared angrily. It is impossible for him to accept that Cao Cao is better than him in his life.

It was impossible before, and it is even more impossible now!

And Tian Feng's words are like a needle in his heart...

"Tian Yuanhao, shut up!"

With a shout, Yuan Shao pointed at Tian Feng's nose and cursed.

However, Tian Feng was still persistent, he refused to let go, his tone became more urgent, and his tone became more cold, and he continued to state the reasons why he could not go south for a decisive battle.

finally…

Yuan Shao, who couldn't bear it anymore, was furious.

——"Bold, Tian Yuanhao, you are disturbing the morale of the army..."

——"Come on, arrest him for me, and see how this general will deal with you after he wins. Hmph, wait until this general returns from victory, and then let you out. At that time, let's see if you still have the face to see Ben General!"

This is out of the way...

A group of soldiers dragged Tian Feng down.

Tian Fengyou yelled loudly, but soon, he disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Now... who dares to express objections?
Xu You's eyeballs rolled, just in time...Yuan Shao's anger was all on Tian Feng, and Xu You's blame for "Yanmen's defeat" was indirectly thrown out!

Thinking of this, he was overjoyed and shouted: "My lord Mingjian, when the time comes when the victory comes back, I'll have to take a look. Tian Yuanhao is ashamed to see others!"

"Yes..." Guo Tu, who was silent for a long time, finally spoke.

To add insult to injury!
This matter, the Ruying family has done a lot to the talents of Jizhou!

"Master Mingjian, going south is a must-win move today. Tian Yuanhao is so stupid that he can't see Mount Tai with a blind eye! When will Duke Yuan send troops? We will all be waiting to follow the lord and go to the imperial palace of Xudu City to reward meritorious deeds and become Prince Yuan's plan." Overlord!"

"Hahaha…"

Finally, Guo Tu's words brightened Yuan Shao's mood, which was made up by the rain. Immediately, he burst out laughing heartily.

In Yuanying, Guo Tu is the best at flattering people.

Actually...it has nothing to do with flattering or not, it's mainly about grasping people's hearts, for example...it's a science to give advice to people like Yuan Shao.

Not only must the strategy be considered in place, but the tone, language, and context must be carefully considered in the process of offering suggestions, so as to achieve the effect of offering suggestions without losing flattery, and not forgetting to offer strategies while flattering.

Even, in the advanced version, you have to choose Yuan Shao's strengths to talk about, and you can't expose his weaknesses...

Once you really offend him, Yuan Shao will definitely fight you to death!

It's a pity that Tian Feng is too upright, his advice is good, but he will never be able to offer advice with skill like Guo Tu!

Flattery is also a university question!
—— "Heading, it will take half a month for the ministries of Bingzhou to return! After half a month... go south immediately!"

——"Yan Liang, Chun Yuqiong, Guo Tu... cross the Yellow River and attack the white horse on the south bank, while our army will press on to Yanjin on the north bank!"

Yuan Shao blurted out the words.

The flattery Guo Tu's flattery came one after another. "Advancing in two directions, the lord's plan is very clever, and my admiration for the lord is like a torrent of rivers, continuous!"

——"The order is to ask the master Bo Chenlin to write an appeal against thieves, and Cao A must be concealed from the eighteenth generation of his ancestors. He will be scolded bloody, and a reward will be issued. Those who get the head of Cao A will be sealed as Marquis of 5000 households, and the reward will be [-] Ten thousand! Cao Jun’s camp, no matter the general or the small school, as long as they are willing to turn their backs on the dark side and turn to the bright side, they will not be held accountable for any crimes, and let them know...follow me, Yuan Shao, and have meat to eat!”

"My lord's actions attack the enemy's heart, and my admiration for my lord is like the flood of the Yellow River, which is out of control!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…"

this moment…

Yuan Shao smiled.

And this Yuan Shao smiled, it seemed that he was doomed—tragedy is inevitable!
