The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

"From Youzhou?"

"Yeah, you're surprised, right?" Shen Pei stroked his beard and said with a smile, "And it's from Changping. After the Mandate of Heaven collapsed that day, Changping not only became fertile soil, but I heard that the wife of the Marquis of Changping also found many talents to cultivate the gift of Heaven and tried various ways to cultivate them."

"Oh? Tea from Changping? Then I really have to go and try it." Tian Feng became interested.

When Tian Feng followed Shen Pei to his tent, they found that there were not only the two of them, but also other people.

There were also Gao Lan, Zhang He, Qu Yi and others.

Tian Feng's expression immediately became serious, and he said to Shen Pei: "Brother Zhengnan, what are you doing..."

"I don't have any other intentions. We just want to talk about how to deal with Dong Zhuo."

Later, during the banquet, Tian Feng drank tea while everyone talked about Dong Zhuo.

Although Han Fu was not mentioned in every sentence, the fact that everyone is here has already explained a problem.

Tian Feng remembered what Ju Su said before he left, that Han Fu was not a wise leader.

At this moment he understood that this might be the last time they would meet here.

After the rebellion against Dong, Tian Feng would be able to see more "Ju Su".

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

-

After three days, the anti-Dong army in Jizhou finally received supplies of weapons, armor and horses.

After three days of training, although the newly recruited soldiers are still far from being called "elite soldiers", they are finally no longer those who tremble even when swinging a halberd.

Early in the morning of that day, Han Fu ordered the army to pack up the tents and prepare to go to Shangdang to meet up with Zhang Yang.

Because the camp was very close to Shangdang, it took only less than an hour for Han Fu's army to see Zhang Yang's army from afar.

After meeting Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang also discovered that Han Fu had a lot more troops than before.

"Brother Wenjie, have you recruited a new batch of soldiers?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Yes." Han Fu nodded, then said calmly: "I originally wanted to recruit more than 10,000 people, but if we wait any longer, we might miss the opportunity to fight."

Hearing Han Fu's words, Zhang Yang also sighed: "Brother Wenjie casually recruited more than 10,000 people right away. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to think about it."

Jizhou is still too rich.

"That's too much. Brother Zhang is the governor of Shangdang after all. Most importantly, many soldiers in Bingzhou were taken to Luoyang by Lu Bu and Ding Yuan. Then, because Ding Yuan was killed by Lu Bu, those soldiers all joined Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, Brother Zhang would have at least 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers."

"Yes." Zhang Yang was helpless, "But there's nothing we can do about it."

"Okay, let's not waste any more time on small talk. According to the previous division of labor, I will be responsible for the supplies and baggage along the way, while Brother Zhang will be responsible for crossing the river." Han Fu looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Of course I have already done this. I am just waiting for Brother Wenjie and the other Hebei princes to come here."

Then Zhang Yang led Han Fu and others to the Yellow River in the distance.

"Two miles ahead is a relatively calm area of ​​the Yellow River. I have found nearly a hundred large ships to ferry our army across these past few days."

As Zhang Yang introduced to Han Fu what he had done in the past few days, they soon saw a large number of ships docked on the shore in the distance.

Although a hundred ferries may seem like a lot, there are nearly 120,000 troops behind them. Compared to that, so many ferries are not that many.

But we cannot blindly pursue the number of ferries. After all, the Yellow River is wide, and even if the Yellow River here is "relatively calm", that is only on the surface. As a river with raging waves all year round and even occasional turmoil, most of the time there are undercurrents beneath the calm surface.

Zhang Yang and Han Fu were also aware of this, so when they were preparing to cross the river, they did not choose to let themselves and their elite troops be the first batch.

Instead, he sent several teams of ordinary soldiers to the other side first, and then explored the area for a few miles ahead. After confirming that there was no danger, they boarded the boat and crossed the river.

Even people who don't understand military tactics know that if the enemy army appears on the other side of the river when crossing the river, the people on the river will be no different from sitting ducks.

The first batch of soldiers who crossed the river reached the other side smoothly, and then followed Han Fu and Zhang Yang's orders and led their troops to investigate the safety.

During this period, more than 100,000 troops were on the Bingzhou side and did not cross the river without permission.

About an hour later, the troops who had been exploring returned to the other side of the river, and one soldier took out a piece of blue brocade and waved it towards the other side.

After seeing this, Han Fu and others put their worries aside.

According to the agreed signal, blue means safety, which means there are no ambushing troops ahead.

"All troops, get on the ferry one after another." Han Fu said to the general beside him, "Organize the team well and don't panic."

The general nodded in response.

Tian Feng had been frowning at this time. After getting on the ferry, Tian Feng kept looking around the river. Even after he was safely ashore, his brows were still frowned.

At this time, Gao Lan, who was not far away, also came to his side and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Why is Yuan Hao still frowning even though he has come to the other side?"

"Because... it went too smoothly." Tian Feng said.

"Too smooth?"

"Yes." Tian Feng nodded and looked back at the yellow river: "We have been camping on the other side of the river for seven or eight days. Didn't Dong Zhuo notice it?"

"Perhaps Dong Zhuo was attracted by the alliance's central army?" Gao Lan said, "And wasn't there news yesterday that the vanguard troops in the central route were ambushed by Dong Zhuo's army and were almost wiped out?"

"Being noticed by the mid laner shouldn't affect her being wary of us," Tian Feng said.

"Even if they didn't send anyone to attack us, didn't they set up a defense line on the other side?"

"Then maybe Dong Zhuo's army didn't expect that we would split into three groups? Even if they got the news, they wouldn't know so quickly that we would cross the river from here." Gao Lan guessed again.

This time Tian Feng did not respond, because perhaps even Gao Lan himself did not believe this speculation.

The crossing was so smooth, as if someone had deliberately let them pass.

An army of 120,000 is not a small number. After returning to Jizhou, Han Fu deliberately exchanged the ordinary soldiers in the original army with the veteran soldiers and generals stationed in Jizhou.

This is also the reason why Han Fu and others were confident that they could capture Luoyang.

There is no shortage of money, generals, or soldiers.

There is no reason for Dong Zhuo to allow his twelve armies to approach the capital. Whether he can capture the capital is another matter. Just forming a pincer attack with the alliance in the middle and bottom lanes will play a crucial role in this anti-Dong war.

Therefore, the only explanation for why the 120,000-strong army was able to cross the river so smoothly is that Dong Zhuo did not expect them to attack from here.

But, did any of Dong Zhuo's advisers really not expect that they would attack from here?

Zhang Yang knew that this section of the Yellow River was relatively flat and suitable for crossing the river. Moreover, there was a large area for stationing after crossing the river, providing a stable place to store subsequent food and supplies.

If the counselors around Dong Zhuo could not think of this, then it can only be said that Dong Zhuo was extremely lucky to be able to rule the capital.

In Tian Feng's view, their smooth crossing of the river seemed like Dong Zhuo had let them go on purpose.

As for the reason for releasing the person, Tian Feng thought about it for a long time on the boat and on the shore, and finally came up with a terrible possibility.

That is - Dong Zhuo wanted to send all 120,000 troops to the other side of the river so as to... annihilate them completely.

"I hope I'm overthinking it." Tian Feng murmured.

Because if that were the case, not only would they suffer a devastating disaster, but Dong Zhuo's power would also surge like dry wood and flames, and no one would be able to stop him.

At night, Tian Feng tossed and turned on the couch and couldn't fall asleep.

He then went straight out of the tent, feeling the chill of the night which only made his head cool, but his chest still felt like there was a huge stone blocking it, unable to relieve it at all.

There was no need for a doctor to take his pulse and diagnose him, Tian Feng understood that it was because he was too worried.

He thought about telling Han Fu about his concerns, but Han Fu would not listen to him alone.

"Mr. Tian?" At this moment, a puzzled voice sounded from the side.

Tian Feng turned around and looked. He saw a golden phoenix face shimmering in the night, and the eyes behind it were filled with doubt.

"Is General Zhang in charge of the night watch tonight?"

"Ah."

Tian Feng smiled: "Then I am relieved. And by the way, why does General Zhang always carry the phoenix mask?"

"I remember that Mr. Tian was not a curious person," said Zhang He.

"It's only an hour before dawn, but Mr. Tian has already come out of the tent. He must have stayed up all night, right?"

"Is it dawn in just one hour?" Tian Feng was slightly surprised.

"Mr. Tian is worried about Dong Zhuo?"

Looking at Zhang He, Tian Feng pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "I am worried that this is Dong Zhuo's strategy, and we have already entered the game."

Zhang He was silent for a moment, then said, "Our journey here was indeed a little too smooth."

"But if this is Dong Zhuo's strategy, how can she steadily defeat our 120,000-man army?"

In response to Zhang He's question, Tian Feng shook his head: "I don't know."

"But, precisely because I don't know, I'm so worried."

"..."

Zhang He could understand Tian Feng's concerns, but he could only comfort him verbally.

"If it is really a trap, we can still retreat with our strength. Besides, we are already an arrow that has been shot from a bow. We have no choice but to move forward."

"Alas." Tian Feng shook his head and said, "I hope I am overthinking it."

"By the way, does General Zhang have any grudge or dislike towards Marquis Changping now?" Tian Feng changed the topic to a lighter one.

Now he also understood that even if this was Dong Zhuo's plan, it had already happened.

Worrying all the time will only add to your anxiety. It won't change anything and you can't go back to the past, so you might as well think about how to make Han Fu more careful.

"Marquis of Changping?" Zhang He was somewhat surprised that Tian Feng's topic would jump so drastically.

They were talking about Dong Zhuo one second and Liu Zhaoqing the next.

But in fact, this is something Tian Feng had wanted to ask for a long time.

"Yes, he admires the others, such as Gao Lanshen, but General Zhang always wears a mask and rarely speaks..."

Zhang He was silent for a moment, then he said, "Leader Liu is worthy of the title of Marquis of Changping. Like everyone else, I have no grudge against him. Moreover, he conquered the Northern Hu and benefited the entire Hebei Province. We should be grateful to him."

Tian Feng smiled when he heard this, but then hesitated.

Zhang He saw this and asked, "Mr. Tian, ​​just say whatever you want to say."

"I heard before that the Marquis of Changping has a slight liking for General Zhang and seems to appreciate him very much. If...something unexpected happens this time, General Zhang can go find the Marquis of Changping."

Tian Feng's words were not ambiguous, and could even be said to be straightforward.

Zhang He was not angry after hearing this, but remained calm. She said, "Mr. Tian must be tired after not sleeping for a long time. It's almost dawn. Go and have a rest. Otherwise, you will have to march with the army during the day, and it will be uncomfortable to be bumped by the horse on the road."

Upon hearing this, Tian Feng had no choice but to take his leave and return to the tent.

After sitting on the couch, he shook his head and sighed.

It’s not surprising that Zhang He made such a statement. In fact, most of the soldiers understood Han Fu’s character and abilities.

But the words "loyalty" and "filial piety" are always an insurmountable mountain. Even Tian Feng is still considering Han Fu now, because of his "loyalty" as a subject.

The same is true for Zhang He, Gao Lan and others.

On the contrary, if Zhang He had immediately nodded in agreement with Tian Feng's point of view, then Tian Feng would have misjudged him.

However, it is precisely this "loyalty" that the world loves to praise that may ultimately cost one's life and add the final bloody stroke.

-

Early in the morning, after Han Fu and Zhang Yang met, both of them looked very relaxed.

It can be said that last night was the most peaceful night they slept.

What worried the two the most was crossing the river, and the second most worrying thing was the first night of crossing the river.

They all understood the danger of crossing the river, and they also understood that if Dong Zhuo ambushed them in advance, what would be waiting for them would be a trampling mass of cavalry.

Fortunately, none of this happened.

"Brother Wenjie, this place is less than a hundred miles away from Luoyang. If we march faster, we can get there before tonight." Zhang Yang said to Han Fu.

There was no need to express the joy in Han Fu's eyes. He could even imagine the scene when he entered the capital, sat next to the emperor, and saw Liu Zhaoqing, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others bowing to him.

But at this time he was still rational and said, "If we force the march, we can reach Luoyang before night, but the army is exhausted and it will be very disadvantageous to face the Luoyang defenders."

Zhang Yang thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's right. The army has now arrived in the northern part of Luoyang. There is no need to rush. The most important thing is to march normally and ensure a continuous supply of food and grass."
