When Yuan Shao found Tian Feng, he was greeting Yuan Fang's Shadow Camp, loading the grain and grass sent by Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, onto the carriage, packing up and preparing to return to the Bohai Sea, but Xu You didn't know which corner he was hiding in, lazily drinking. Bar.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was back, Tian Feng and Yuan Fang put down their work and hurried over to pay homage.
"Lord, you finally returned safely."
"Fang meets the Lord".
Yuan Shao helped them up, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and asked them to sit down. But he asked Wen Chou to find Xu You. After a while, he packed up and went home. Wen Chou followed the order and left.
Before he sat down, Tian Feng asked with concern, "I wonder what the harvest will be like, my lord?" Yuan Fang also raised his ears to listen.
Therefore, Yuan Shao told Tian Feng and the others in detail about rescuing Cao Cao, rescuing the people, fighting the Xiongnu, encountering the disbandment of the princes, and having a drink with Cao Cao to discuss heroes.
After he finished speaking, Tian Feng said with emotion, "I didn't expect that my Lord would encounter so many things. It's really something Feng didn't expect."
Yuan Shao nodded and agreed. He really didn't expect to encounter such things.
While he was sighing, Yuan Fang suddenly interrupted and said with a serious expression, "My lord knows that Cao Cao is a hero, why don't you take his life now, so as to save a big trouble in the future. If your lord is soft-hearted, I can take action." of".
Yes, Tian Feng also looked at his lord curiously, waiting for the answer.
Yuan Shao explained confidently, "Times create heroes. Today is an era of troubled times and heroes emerge in large numbers. If you kill one Cao Cao, there will be another Cao Cao. There will be endless killings, so why bother. Instead of wasting time here, It's better to find ways to improve your strength and use your strength to overwhelm others. By then, Cao Cao and the princes will all be nothing more than floating clouds."
"My lord, I have seen you, and I have learned a lot from you."
Yuan Fang flattered him and agreed.
There must be more to it than that, Tian Feng thought in his mind as if watching a fire, but he didn't point it out.
Indeed, there is another reason, that is, I am very familiar with Cao Cao. To put it simply, I am very familiar with Cao Cao's character and the things that happened about Cao Cao in another time and space. It would disrupt the rhythm, affect the direction of the plot, and lose the advantage of foresight. It is better not to kill Cao Cao.
Not only will he not kill Cao Cao, he will also not take action against other people in history, such as Liu Bei, to avoid unpredictable consequences. It is better to fatten up and then kill, seize advantageous resources first, and then crush everything. Of course, Tian Feng and others cannot be told this.
Yuan Shao thought about seeing Tian Feng packing his bags and preparing to go home, so he changed the subject and asked, "I don't know how sir knew that I was coming back and wanted to go back to Bohai?".
Tian Feng smiled and said, "No one informed us, and I didn't know that the lord was back. I just guessed that the coalition of princes would disperse, and the lord would return to Bohai."
Oh, Yuan Shao was very curious and interested, and asked for advice, "I would like to hear your opinion, sir."
Tian Feng confidently said, "Sun Jian just got the jade seal yesterday, and it hasn't been warmed in his hands yet. Today it has spread throughout the princes and everyone knows it. If no one is trying to cause trouble, no one will believe it."
Seeing that his master and Yuan Fang were listening, Tian Feng cleared his throat and continued.
"I think this is a trap, or a conspiracy. No matter who holds the jade seal, it will be the same. All the princes will fall into the trap. Once they fall into the trap, the disbandment is inevitable, and the lord will have to go back. It's amazing. Yeah, I have to admire it."
Yuan Fang expressed that he didn't understand and said, "Just hand over the jade seal."
Tian Feng and Yuan Shao looked at each other, shook their heads, smiled, and said nothing, which made Yuan Fang confused and puzzled.
If only things were that simple, fame and fortune kill people, everyone is here for fame, who would give up?
I have to express my admiration here, Li Ru is really amazing. Just a piece of broken stone caused the alliance of princes to fall apart. If Yuan Shao didn't know the result, he would probably be like them. After all, it is the imperial seal that everyone wants to get. This is a conspiracy that no one can refuse.
While they were talking, Xu You was found. To be precise, it was Wen Chou who carried him back.
He was drunk again and smelled of alcohol. Before they arrived, Yuan Fang and the others were intoxicated. Yuan Fang looked at him with contempt and disgust.
Yuan Shao also frowned when he saw him like this, thinking that this man was not useful, so he should get rid of him if there was a chance. His subordinates did not keep idle people. He would take care of this in the future and let his personal guards handle it. .
Wen Chou was asked to assemble the troops. They were assembled in a short while, and Tian Feng and others had already packed up. He asked Yuan Fang to protect Tian Feng, and he led the army towards the Bohai Sea on horseback. He set off home without talking all the way.
From Yuan Shao, he sent out a message, gathered the princes and became the leader of the alliance. He first killed Hua Xiong, then defeated Lu Bu, and then chased and killed Dong Zhuo. Along with this news, Yuan Shao's name spread throughout the world, and heroes from all walks of life yearned to see if this alliance leader was the ideal lord in their hearts.
Yangzhou, on the Yangtze River.
A somewhat coquettish water thief wearing brocade clothes and holding a canvas boat. He had just led his men to rob the merchant ship of the Cai family, a wealthy family in Jingzhou, and snatched Yuan Shaofa's memorandum from his subordinates. After hearing about the great things Yuan Shaofa had done, he laughed arrogantly.
"Haha, yes, it turns out that rich families also have heroes. This Yuan Shao is good and suits my taste. It seems that I want to go to Bohai to see it."
"Boss, what will we do if you leave?" a minion asked.
The man in brocade gave him a hard knock on the head and said, "Idiot, you all follow me, the lord must like us very much."
"Hahaha"
This made the water thieves around him burst into laughter.
Nanyang County, on the city tower.
A veteran general holding a broadsword and carrying a long bow looked at the slogan posted on the city wall, listened to the soldiers nearby talking about Yuan Shao's glorious deeds, and sighed.
A general guarding the city next to him suggested, "Old general, you are sighing again. You are very skilled in martial arts. You should go to Bohai to see yourself on a bigger stage. I heard that Zhao Yun and Lu Bu are the best in the world in martial arts. Don't you want to compete with them, general?" ?".
The old general sighed and said, "Hey, I really want to go, but my son is not up to par and can't make the long journey, so I might as well forget it."
The general also knew about his family's situation, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"Hey hey hey"
Chenliu County, outdoors.
A naked savage who had been hungry for many days. I had just helped the village get rid of the tiger that had been harming them for many years, and refused the food they gave me. I learned about Yuan Shao's rescue of the people from their mouths, and thought to myself that he is really a good official. I should go and see him, otherwise I would kill him on the spot and eliminate harm for the people.
He left as soon as he could, picked some wild fruits on the roadside, padded his stomach, took his halberd, and headed straight for the Bohai Sea along the road.
"Cuckoo"
...
For a time, heroes from all walks of life set out one after another to gather in the Bohai Sea and prepare to do something. This is a story later.
