At noon the next day, distinguished guests came to visit the mansion where Gao Yi lived.
This man was dressed in elegant robes, and he seemed to have the elegance of a scholar.
It was none other than Yuan Shao's advisor, Hebei celebrity Tian Feng, whose courtesy name was Yuan Hao!
After the defeat of Chang'an that year, Lu Bu led his army to flee to Hebei and briefly attached to Yuan Shao, so Gao Yi and Tian Feng were barely old acquaintances.
"General Gao, we were separated from Heishan in the past. In just four years, I never thought that General Gao would take advantage of the situation and rise up."
"In just one month, he was able to defeat the strong with the weak, defeat Cao Mengde, trap and kill Liu Xuande, and occupy several counties in Xu Yu. He is really a young hero!"
It turns out that Honda Feng came to Pei State this time on Yuan Shao's order: to recruit Liu Bei. When Yuan Cao's decisive battle came, Liu Bei led a surprise force from Pei State to attack Cao Cao's rear area, making Cao Cao's army unable to look at each other. .
But when Tian Feng arrived in Pei State, he heard that Liu Bei had committed suicide in defeat, so after some consideration, he decided to visit Gaoyi.
After all, Liu Guanzhang, who barely occupied a corner of Pei Kingdom, only had three male deer at most. And Gao Yi, who sits on several counties in Xu Yu, is a fierce tiger.
Although we lose three deer, we gain one tiger. Isn’t it wonderful?
"Mr. Yuan Hao, this general is a warrior and not good at speaking. This time, Mr. Yuan Gong sent me to visit Pei State. I wonder what your purpose is? Let's just talk about what we have to say!"
Regarding Gao Yi's outspoken character, Tian Feng nodded slightly and said calmly:
"General Gao is an unparalleled enemy of ten thousand men. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in. My lord, Mr. Yuan, has a brilliant strategy and dominates the northern border. He sits in the Qingji region and is close to the four states."
"Even if he is as strong as Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, he is now trapped in a corner of Yijing. He is like a bird in a cage. As long as my lord gives an order, he can be destroyed with a snap of his finger."
"General Gao, why don't you surrender to my lord? When our millions of troops from Hebei cross the river to attack Cao and welcome back the Emperor, General Gao will send troops from Pei State. A two-pronged attack will definitely defeat Cao's army."
"If General Gao accomplishes this great feat, he will definitely be promoted to a higher position in the future, which will bring glory to his family. The Gao family will be among the famous families, and his descendants will also be able to enjoy wealth and glory for generations to come."
Gao Yi looked at Tian Feng who was talking endlessly, shook his head slightly, and said: "Bringing glory to the lintel? Then forget it, my Gao family is thin, only my father and son are of the same lineage, and we have been fighting on the battlefield for several years. The courtyard gate of our home is now... It’s hard to say whether it’s still there or not, let alone the lintel?”
"As for what Mr. Yuan Gongxiong said about Yuan Gongxiong's strategy? I'm afraid it's an exaggeration! Today's Yuan Shao is no longer the high-spirited leader of the Eighteenth Route Alliance against Dong Dong."
"It is said that Yuan Shao now favors treacherous villains and despises loyal ministers and wise men. He does not care about expanding his territory and only cares about the happiness of his family. Mr. Yuan Hao, do you think such a person is worthy of the four words 'talent and strategy'?"
"you……!"
Tian Feng wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to speak.
Although Gao Yi's words were harsh, they were true. Today's Yuan Shao is indeed no longer the hero he once was.
In dealing with things, he likes to make plans and never make decisions, and he doesn't like to give advice.
In family matters, the heir apparent was unknown, and the third son took over the throne.
In terms of planning, he got close to Guo Tu Fengji and other traitors.
In military affairs, Chun Yuqiong and other close associates were often reused.
Looking at Tian Feng who had gradually fallen into deep thought.
Gao Yi said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yuan Hao is a famous scholar in Hebei. He is knowledgeable and full of strategies. He is as good as Zhang Liang in strategizing and as good as Xiao He in managing money and food. It is really sad to follow a mediocre master like Yuan Shao!" "
"Although I, Gao Yi, are young and frivolous, I have the heart to accept advice and seek talents, and the ambition to expand my territory. If your husband is willing to serve me, I will treat him as a high official and generous salary. If he violates this oath, he will be punished by both gods and ghosts. !”
Faced with the high righteousness of Corporal Li Xian.
Tian Feng was quite moved, but under the influence of Confucianism, he hurriedly waved his hand and refused:
"The general's words are serious. Feng is Yuan Gong's adviser. How can he serve two masters?"
"General, I appreciate your kindness!"
As he talked, Tian Feng suddenly felt something was wrong!
He was obviously here to recruit Gao Yi on behalf of his master, but somehow he was so confused that he was almost recruited by Gao Yi.
Tian Feng hurriedly spoke and returned to the topic:
"Since General Gao is unwilling to surrender to my lord, I wonder if he would like to form an alliance with my lord to attack Cao Cao together?"
Gao Yi curled his lips, knowing that it would be difficult for him to recruit Tian Feng for the time being, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Since Mr. Yuan Hao refuses to help, I, the general, can't force him."
"It's easy to talk about forming an alliance, but if we attack Cao Cao together, hey! Forgive me for not being able to help!"
Tian Feng frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he knew what Gao Yi was thinking.
"Why is the general unwilling to attack Cao Cao together? If it is because of the lack of food and grass, I, Hebei, are willing to lend 50,000 stones of grain and rice to Xuzhou to serve as military rations."
Facing the wealthy Tian Feng.
Gao Yi felt crazy with joy!
But his face remained calm, and he sighed again: "Mr. Yuan Hao, please don't misunderstand me. I am definitely not a money-grubbing person."
"It's just a pity that sir came a little late. Please take a look at this letter!"
Gao Yi took the initiative to hand a roll of brocade silk to Tian Feng.
Tian Feng hurriedly opened the brocade and looked at it.
You won’t know until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it!
The letter was actually written by Cao Cao.
Damn it! Cao Cao is really a thief!
The letter stated: Cao Cao is willing to personally act as a matchmaker to marry Xia Houyuan's cousin Xia Houlan to Gao Yi as his second wife, so that both parties can become friends with Qin and Jin.
As a counselor in Hebei, Tian Feng was quite aware of Cao Cao's situation.
We know that Cao Cao was originally named Xiahou, but because his father Cao Song was adopted by the eunuch Cao Teng, Cao Cao was also named Cao.
In terms of seniority, Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan are brothers of the same clan, and Cao Cao's sister-in-law married Xia Houyuan, so they are brothers-in-law.
If Gao Yi marries Xia Houlan as his second wife, it will definitely have a huge impact on the current situation in the Central Plains.
Looking at Tian Feng who was lost in thought again, his expression became more solemn.
Gao Yi simply added another handful of firewood and said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Xiahou is beautiful and smart, and she is stunningly beautiful. I have been fascinated by her for a long time."
"If this marriage is successful... From now on, Mr. Cao, he will be my most beloved relative, friend, and brother..."
Before Gao Yi could finish what he said, Tian Feng slapped the table hard and said in a hateful voice through gritted teeth:
"Three hundred thousand stones of grain and rice, plus five thousand war horses! This is my bottom line in Hebei, and it is also my Lord's greatest sincerity."
"In addition, if General Gao is interested in accepting wives and concubines to extend his heirs, Feng is willing to propose marriage to the Zhen family in Zhongshan on General Gao's behalf. The five sisters of the Zhen family are all of natural beauty and are well-known in Hebei. They are by no means inferior to the ladies of the Xiahou family."
Hearing that Tian Feng actually added so much, Gao Yi couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: Wocao! Is it so elastic?
Erqiao Diaoganbu, Zhaozhen Mi Bianwu.
The three concubines stayed with Dong Tang, Zou Du Yin and Fan Feng.
The four princesses of the Han Dynasty and the five daughters of the Zhen family.
Gao Yi has long coveted the famous five beauties of the Zhen family in "One Hundred Beauties of the Three Kingdoms".
Now that Tian Feng is willing to personally act as a matchmaker to obtain five daughters of the Zhen family for himself, Gao Yi is naturally overjoyed.
But Gao Yi's face seemed calm, with a struggling expression of weighing the pros and cons.
"Zhen's family in Zhongshan? I have heard about it a little bit. I remember that it looks like, seems to, should, probably, maybe, is a merchant's home, right?"
"It's just that I am ignorant about the five beauties of the Zhen family. I have never heard of it before!"
"Hey! That's all! That's all! For Mr. Yuan Hao's sake, I can only reluctantly accept these five marriages."
Suddenly hearing this, Tian Feng's eyes widened instantly, and his scalp felt numb. He swallowed dryly, and wanted to explain that he was talking about one of the five beauties of the Zhen family, not all the five beauties of the Zhen family. Marry you!
But when Tian Feng saw Gao Yi's expression of reluctance, as if he really only regarded Zhen's five beauties as free gifts, Tian Feng swallowed the words he had already spoken. Go down.
That’s it! That’s it! The five beauties of the Zhen family are the five beauties! Marrying one person is a marriage, and marrying five people is also a marriage.
Why! It's all because of this guy, Gaoyi, who is a total of five beauties from the north who are beautiful and fragrant!
