Chapter 28 Tian Feng

Li Zhong was happy about Zhao Yun's return, because he had two favorite generals in his previous life, one was Zhao Yun and the other was ***. While Li Zhong was relieved, he suddenly remembered that there was another Tian Feng, smiled bitterly, and then turned around to look at the world's most popular counselor.

Tian Feng (?-200), a native of Yuanhao, Julu (now in the area of Hebei Giant Deer), is a Bohai people. [ 1] At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao's subordinates and advisers went to Jizhou. He is upright and has repeatedly said to Yuan Shao but was not accepted. Xun Yu, a counselor under Cao Cao, once commented that he was "just and committed". Later, Yuan Shao ordered to be imprisoned for obstructing Yuan Shao from attacking Cao Cao. After the Battle of Guandu, Tian Feng was killed by Yuan Shao.

Tian Feng has been intelligent since he was a child. He mourned his relatives when he was a teenager. Although the time of mourning has passed, he still smiles and does not show his teeth, so he is valued by his neighbors. Moreover, Tian Feng is knowledgeable and versatile and famous in Jizhou. At first, he was recruited by the lieutenant's mansion and recommended him as Maocai. Later, he was elected as the imperial historian. Because he was angry that the eunuch was in charge and the virtuous minister was killed, he abandoned the official and returned home.

In 196 (the first year of Jian'an), Cao Cao moved Emperor Xian of Han to Xudu, and from then on began to take the emperor to order the princes. Every time Yuan Shao received an edict, he was always worried that it would be unfavorable to him, so he wanted the emperor to move closer to him. He sent someone to Cao that Xu County was low-lying and humid, and Luoyang was incomplete and destroyed. He should move the capital to Zhencheng in order to be close to a complete and abundant area. Cao Cao did not agree. Tian Feng said to Yuan Shao: "Since the plan of moving the capital is not adopted, it is best to seek Xu County as soon as possible, take over the emperor, and often entrust the order of the emperor to issue orders to the whole country. This is the best way. If you don't do this, you will eventually be subject to others, and even regret will not work. Yuan Shao did not adopt it.

Later, Yuan Shao adopted Tian Feng's strategy to eliminate Gongsun Zan, pact Hebei and the four states.

In 200 AD (the fifth year of Jian'an), before the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei attacked and killed the Xuzhou assassin car, occupied Pei County and betrayed Cao Cao. Cao Cao personally led the army to conquer Liu Bei. Tian Feng said to Yuan Shao: "It is Cao Cao who competes for the world with you. Cao Cao is now going to attack Liu Bei. The battle between the two sides is unlikely to end soon. Now mobilize all his troops to attack Cao Cao's rear, and it can be calmed down as soon as he goes. The army will go out according to the time. Yuan Shao refused to say that his son was ill, and Tian Feng's plan was not implemented. Tian Feng raised his crutch and knocked on the ground and said, "Well, the big deal is over! It's a pity that I finally caught up with such an opportunity and lost the opportunity because of the child's illness!" Yuan Shao was very angry when he heard it and alienated Tian Feng from then on.

Cao Cao was afraid that Yuan Shao would cross the Yellow River, so he intensified his attack on Liu Bei and defeated Liu Bei in less than a month. Liu Bei defected to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao entered the army to attack Xu County. Tian Feng believed that since he had lost the opportunity in front of him and was not suitable to send troops at the moment, he dissuaded Yuan Shao and said, "Cao Cao has defeated Liu Bei, and Xu Du is no longer empty. Moreover, Cao Cao is good at using soldiers and is unpredictable. Although the number of people is small, it cannot be despised. It's better to stick to it for a long time now. With the strength of the mountains and the Yellow River, the general has people and horses from four states, unites heroes outside, and implements farming internally to prepare for war. Then select elite troops and divide them into strange soldiers to take turns to fight while the enemy is empty to harass the south of the Yellow River. If the enemy rescues the right side, I will attack the left side; if the enemy rescues the left side, I will attack the right side, making the enemy exhausted. The people can't settle down on their own business. We are not tired yet, but the other side is already tired. It will take less than three years to settle down and defeat the enemy. Now you don't need to decide whether to win or not through a war. In case you can't get what you want, it's too late to regret it. Yuan Shao didn't listen. Tian Feng tried his best to dissuade him and offend Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao thought he had ruined the army, so he locked Tian Feng up. So he first published a post and went south.

Cao Cao heard that Tian Feng was not in the army and said happily, "Yuan Shao will be defeated." After Yuan Shao was defeated, Cao Cao sighed, "If Yuan Shao uses Tian Feng's plan, the victory or defeat is still unknown."

When Yuan Shao's army returned, it collapsed all the way, and the sergeants beat their chests and cried: "If Tian Feng were here, it wouldn't be this far." Someone said to Tian Feng, "You will definitely be reused." Tian Feng said, "Mr. Yuan is generous on the surface but suspicious in his heart. He doesn't believe my loyalty, and I have offended him many times for telling the truth. If he wins and is happy, he will definitely forgive me; if he loses the battle, his heart will be resentful and his inner suspicion will break out. If I win, I will be saved. Now that I have been defeated, I don't expect to survive. After Yuan Shao came back, he said, "I didn't take Tian Feng's opinion, and he laughed at me." Fengji took the opportunity to slander: "Tian Feng heard that the general was defeated and laughed. He was happy for his prediction!" Yuan Shao then killed Tian Feng.

Luo Guanzhong once commented on Tian Feng: "Jilu Tian Yuanhao, Tian Zimai and so on. In the Zhou Dynasty, Qi Bashi was equipped with three benevolences in the Yin room. Direct advice to Yuan Shao and loyally save Zhao people. He died in prison, and the loess covered the unicorn. Yesterday, he was lost in the army, and today Tian Feng died in prison. The pillars of Hebei are all broken, and we will not lose our country at the beginning!"

It can be seen that Tian Feng is capable of governing the country, the army and strategy. And there are also two favorite literary ministers in Li Zhong's mind, one of which is Tian Toyota Yuanhui. It's simply an all-round talent, which is no less than ** (sell a barrier first).

Li Zhong looked at Tian Feng and smiled and said, "Can Mr. Yuan Hao help Zhong save the people of the world from water and fire?" Tian Feng nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Can you really remember today's heroic words?" Li Zhong looked at Tian Feng and said solemnly, "Zhong is not a lie. If Mr. Yuan Hao If you don't believe in loyalty, why doesn't Mr. Yuan Ho supervise loyalty here? If Zhong forgets, please remind Zhong that the spur will not cause Zhong to go astray one day. I don't know what Mr. Yuan Hu's intention is to do?" Finally, Li Zhong smiled proudly.

After listening to Li Zhong's words, Tian Feng shook his head with a wry smile, and then knelt down to Li Zhong and said, "Feng visits the lord. I hope the lord can remember today's words in the future?" Seeing that Tian Feng finally submitted, Li Zhong was overjoyed and quickly helped Tian Feng and said, "Mr. Yuan Hui, please get up quickly. In the future, Zhong still needs to remind him at all times, don't betray him and the people?" Tian Feng nodded.

After Li Zhong subdued Zhao Yun and Tian Feng, he was very happy. Then he turned his head and looked at Zhao Fan and said, "I don't know if this small temple can accommodate Brother Zhao as a god?" Zhao Fan smiled bitterly and knelt down to Li Zhong and said, "Fan is willing to see the lord and is willing to serve the Lord." Li Zhong picked up Zhao Fan and said three good words in a row to show his inner excitement and joy. The three were also excited to see that Li Zhong was so happy.

"Zilong, you came at the right time. I want to form cavalry, but there is a lack of generals, so this matter has been put aside. Today, Zilong came to vote for me, just in time to solve my urgent need," Li Zhong took Zhao Yun's hand and said happily. Zhao Yun saw that Li Zhong wanted to hand over the cavalry and let him, the new cast man, as a cavalry general. This was ** naked trust. He immediately knelt down and said, "Lord, Yun is a new person. The lord called such an important cavalry to Yun. Yun was very excited, but Yun was afraid of betraying the lord's trust." Li Zhong helped Zhao Yun and said harshly. "The ancients said that there is no need for suspicious people, and there is no doubt about using people. Since I dare to give the cavalry to Zilong, it means that I believe you, but you should not be so ambitious. Zilong can rest assured to do it. Even if Zilong doesn't do it well enough, it's best to start all over again. I believe that one day you will succeed."

When you meet such a master, what else do you have to say? Zhao Yun immediately choked and said, "Master, don't worry, Yun will try his best to do this matter. He has reported the lord's kindness." Then Li Zhong smiled with satisfaction and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, please, please. I have come from Xuantong County Horse Farm. Bring back 20,000 good horses. Zilong, you also have to train them for me within half a year. I will ask Guan Hai to help you. When the training is completed, I will be of great use." Zhao Yun nodded solemnly. Zhao Fan beside him was also very happy to see his brother being reused. When Tian Feng, who was beside him, saw that Li Zhong handed over the cavalry in Liaodong to Zhao Yun, he also had a surge in his heart and nodded secretly. Now he was a little convinced that Li Zhong could fulfill today's promise, and he couldn't help but be excited.

"Brother Zhao," before Li Zhong finished speaking, Zhao Fan interrupted him and said, "Master, since your subordinates have joined the Lord, please call Fan's name directly." Li Zhong hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Zhao Yun and Tian Feng nodding seriously beside him, Li Zhong could only smile helplessly and then said: "In this case, Zhao Fan, I want to send you to Jinzhou to assist Zhang Xi to guard the city. I don't know if you are willing." Zhao Fan did not hesitate at all and nodded, "Lord, the last general is willing." Li Zhong nodded.

"Mr. Yuan Hui, I want you to be in charge of government affairs in Liaodong County. I don't know what you want?" Tian Feng said with no expression on his face, "It's the Lord's order, how can your subordinates dare not obey." Tian Feng looked at Li Zhong. Li Zhong saw that he wanted to speak and said with a smile, "Mr. Yuan Hui has something to say, but it's okay to say it." Tian Feng hesitated. : "Yes. Lord, Feng feels that the lord is not so polite to his subordinates. Feng does not mean that he is not polite to his subordinates, but in this way, Feng is worried that some military * leaders may be arrogant, please think twice," Tian Feng said euphemistically. Li Zhong nodded and said to himself that Tian Feng's name really lives up to his reputation, but what he said was also reasonable. At present, Li Zhong had a decision in his heart and said to Tian Feng, "Well, Mr. Yuan Hao has done a good job. I will consider it." Tian Feng nodded secretly when he heard Li Zhong's words.

At this time, Li Zhong said to the three people, "I'm very happy that three people came to help me today. Later, I will take care of them. It's not too late to take office tomorrow. I hope the three of them don't refuse." The three did not refuse Li Zhong's kindness2, but nodded. Seeing this, Li Zhong laughed and quickly ordered the servant to prepare the wine and dishes.
