Chapter 1260 A gentleman should control his anger
Guo Tu stood at the door of the tent, reached out to open the tent, and looked at the large central army tent in the distance. He not only heard Yuan Shao's roar, but also saw the violent tent, and couldn't help but chuckled. He turned around and returned to his tent, sat back in front of the case, while flipping through the documents on the case, and listening to the movements outside. Yuan Shao had been summoned twice, but he didn't want to go now, and he didn't want to touch Yuan Shao's bad intentions, so he was scolded in vain.
He could guess why Yuan Shao got angry. Cao Ang not only rejected Yuan Shao's orders, but also joined forces with the Yanzhou family to protect themselves. For Yuan Shao, this was equivalent to betrayal. From Liu Dai to Cao Cao, to Yuan Tan, Cao Ang, Yanzhou was gradually getting farther away from Yuan Shao, but he nominally obeyed Yuan Shao's orders. Now he simply rejected Yuan Shao's orders. Yuan Shao could not accept it calmly. It was light to get angry. At this time, if he was inappropriate, he would be able to chop him up.
Guo Tu found a document, carefully folded it, tucked it in his sleeve, and then found another document, folded it, and hid it in his chest.
After a while, Tian Feng's loud voice sounded outside. Guo Tu stood up and hid behind the tent. He watched Tian Feng and Ju Su arrive together, and strode to the central army's tent. He was about to flirt in, but stopped again. Guo Tu frowned and walked out of the tent. Seeing Zhang He shaking his head to Ju Su. Ju Su subconsciously turned around and met Guo Tu's gaze. Zhang He also saw Guo Tu, immediately closed his mouth and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Guo Tu sneered in his heart. Do these Hebei people really think they can cover the sky with one hand? He walked over slowly, with a neither humble nor arrogant smile on his face. He greeted Tian Feng and Ju Su. "Brother Yuan Hao, you guys are here so quickly."
Tian Feng pretended not to hear, turned his head over, lifted the tent door with the Qiong bamboo stick in his hand, and walked in. Ju Su and Guo Tu nodded and reached out to signal. "Brother Gong Ze, please."
"Please." Guo Tu reached out and invited each other, giving in to each other.
"You all come in, why are you going to be slow!" Yuan Shao's angrily shouted in the tent.
Guo Tu and Ju Su looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and walked into the account. As soon as they entered the account, they first saw Tian Feng's back. Tian Feng stood at the door of the account, motionless. Guo Tu walked around him and found that he was furious. He looked down and found that Tian Feng's clothes were covered with ink and a broken inkstone in front of his feet. Guo Tu turned his eyes and understood the whole story. He couldn't help laughing secretly, but pretended not to see it. He came to Yuan Shao and bowed.
Yuan Shao glared at him. "What are you busy with? These steps are less than a long time. Are you too close?"
Guo Tu was not too slow. "It took some effort to find a document."
Yuan Shao sneered: "What documents are so important?"
Guo Tu didn't say anything, took out the document from his sleeve and handed it over. Yuan Shao took it in his hand, glanced at Guo Tu, opened the document, his eyes flashed, and the anger in his eyes faded a lot. He put the document away, motioned Guo Tu to take his seat, looked at Tian Feng again, walked around from behind the desk, and squeezed out a smile.
"Yuan Hao, I'm in a hurry and dirty your clothes. Please don't blame Yuan Feng. If you want to send two new clothes later, it's considered a conspiracy."
Tian Feng said in a deep voice: "Lord, it is not scary to have dirty clothes, but the real trouble is to be confused. A gentleman should control his anger and not to start an army with anger. The war is imminent, and the lord should be calm and adaptable to the situation to win every battle. If he is distracted before the battle, it is not a good omen."
Yuan Shao was very embarrassed and replied twice, thanking Tian Feng but couldn't say anything. He turned around and picked up the document that had been torn in half from the desk, and wanted to hand it to Tian Feng, but he felt it was inappropriate and was in a dilemma. Seeing this, Guo Tu coughed.
"Brother Yuan Hao, I just received a reply from Cao Ang. He said that the epidemic in Yanzhou is not over, the population is lost, the money and food are empty, and he is unwilling to send troops to help. The strategy of sending Qing Xu Fanglai you have formulated for the lord may be in trouble. I wonder if Brother Yuan Hao can backup the strategy?"
After hearing this, Tian Feng quickly took the documents from Yuan Shao, spread them on the table, and put them together. Ju Su knew that he had poor eyesight, so he hurried over and read them to Tian Feng while watching. Tian Feng narrowed his eyes and listened carefully, his brows becoming tighter and tighter. Guo Tu looked quietly from the side, his eyes flashing, thinking.
Just after Ju Su finished reading, Tian Feng said, "Lord, Cao Ang is a disobedient person. This wind should not be long. It is advisable to attack him quickly. If Yanzhou becomes independent, the lord will be rejected from Hebei. Next year, the river will be born, and Qingxu will no longer be owned by the lord."
Yuan Shao frowned. "What Yuan Hao said is very true, Yanzhou must not be lost. However, firstly, the troops have not been gathered and it is difficult to use troops in a hurry. Secondly, the epidemic in Yanzhou has not yet subsided. Will it be a death to send troops at this time?"
Tian Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "The epidemic in Yanzhou has been in May, and it has been half a year since then. How can it be so serious? This must be Cao Ang's exaggeration and thought that the lord should not be trusted easily. If there is any mistake in Yanzhou, Qingzhou will be difficult to be able to maintain its own strength. If Qingzhou is lost, Langya and the East China Sea will become an enclave, which will inevitably fall into the hands of Sun Ce. The plan to attack Yuzhou cannot be carried out again. Lord, the epidemic has started from Langya and spread to Yanzhou and Yuzhou. If the epidemic in Langya is coming to an end, Yuzhou will also be in a trend of improvement. Why has Yanzhou not relieved, but it will be even heavier? This must be a strategy. Never be deceived and delay the fighter."
Guo Tu said slowly: "Brother Yuan Hao said that the epidemic in Yanzhou has been delayed to this day, which is indeed unreasonable. However, Brother Yuan Hao forgot one thing: Yanzhou is not as good as Yuzhou. Since the Yellow Turbans in the first year of Zhongping, Yanzhou has been fighting for every year, and his household registration is 23 or 3. Ordinary people have no family accumulation for half a month. They are hungry and cold. When they encounter a major epidemic, they naturally have no resistance and can only go around the gullies. If they could provide some food and medicine at the beginning, how could Yanzhou be like this?"
Tian Feng glared at Guo Tu and was about to scold him. Yuan Shao raised his hand. "Yuan Hao, keep angry."
Tian Feng choked by Yuan Shao, very embarrassed, but could not refute, so he had to caress his beard and sulk. Yuan Shao saw it in his eyes, and felt secretly happy. It was rare to be able to repay his kindness so quickly.
He was a little annoyed by Tian Feng recently. After making peace with Zhang Ze, he decided to go south to attack Sun Ce. There was no difference in this general direction, but there were serious differences in the specific tactics. Guo Tu suggested advancing from the west, joining forces with Huang Wan to attack Junyi, occupying Chenliu, and then attacking Yingchuan and Chenguo to the south, and directly taking Runan. Tian Feng hoped to use the previous tactics and advance from the east, first assisting Yuan Xi to seize Qingzhou, then Xuzhou, and attack Yuzhou in a roundabout way.
Both suggestions have advantages and disadvantages, and Yuan Shao was unable to make a decision for the time being. Later, Xu You sent someone to send a letter saying that Tao Qian was dead and divided Xuzhou into two, Donghai and Langya were left to his eldest son Tao merchant, who wanted to rely on Yuan Shao. This was good news. If Langya and Donghai could be taken into account, Beihai and Donglai would be difficult to save themselves, and Qingzhou could easily push the front to the south of the East China Sea. The situation was better than Liu He occupied Xia Pi and Guangling. With the foundation left by Liu He, it would be not difficult to take Xia Pi at all. Even if it was not smooth, it could restrain Sun Ce's troops and prevent him from looking north.
Tian Feng's plan had a clear advantage, and his voice also rose. Not only did he shout at Guo Tu, but he was also a little rude to him, Yuan Shao, and argued with others in front of him many times. Now that something happened in Yanzhou and his plan was affected, he couldn't hold back. If he had known what, why would the Jizhou family was not shy when Cao Ang asked for help. Now it's too late.
