Chapter 283 Yuyang Tian Yu
In the third spring, the white snow returns to the green tombs, and the thousands of miles of Yellow River circles the Black Mountains. --------"The Resentment of Conquest" by Liu Zhongyong of the Tang Dynasty
He was said to be upright, selfless, loyal and self-denying like Tian Feng, but he was so heartbroken by Long Zhu's words that he couldn't help but sit down slumped. The civil servants and generals who surrendered around Han Fu were not favored by Yuan Shao, and were ostracized by treacherous ministers. This is an ironclad fact that Tian Feng cannot distinguish. What's more, although Yuan Shao knew that Tian Feng was resourceful, he had many advisers under his command. Tian Feng was stubborn and made mistakes, while Yuan Benchu was indecisive and far from being able to obey Tian Feng's words.
Chen Long saw that the Xuan Hall fell into awkward silence, and said slowly: "I heard someone say, 'If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood.' They also said, 'Being with the king is like being with the tiger.' If you want to eat well by the side of the tiger and the wolf, , first of all, you must ensure your own safety. If your life is gone, what is the ambition of a swan? After learning a lot of knowledge, there is no room for even wanting to be a sparrow. I hope Yuan Hao understands this truth. In today's situation, if you all do your part If you don't listen to your responsibilities, then don't say it again, and talk again after a few days. If you still don't listen, then you can use the thirty-sixth strategy. There is no need to hang yourself on a tree, you can change to another tree next to it. Try it on the tree. That’s it. I’m doing this for everyone’s benefit. Please forgive me if I offended you. No more talk, let’s drink!”
Chen Long raised his glass in toast and drank it all first. Tian Feng no longer had the confidence and arrogance he had at the beginning. He raised his glass and took a sip, saying that he obviously had something on his mind. Qu Yi drank it all in one gulp, slapped the cup on the table, and said: "Mr. Long is from Jiaozhou, and it turns out that he is Chen Long's lobbyist. However, we are all our own people here, so I admit what you said. That makes sense. Please sir, please don’t forget our invitation to you after you go back. When we meet in the white mountains and black waters one day, just leave a little sympathy."
Although Qu Yi said this, he actually left a lot of leeway, but he glanced at Tian Feng from the corner of his eye. Among Han Fu's old men, Tian Feng was the most resourceful. It was precisely because Tian Feng was optimistic about Yuan Shao at that time that many of Han Fu's generals betrayed him. Now that this group of people have been separated from the core of Jizhou's power, and Yuan Shao trusts the treacherous ministers, Qu Yi naturally pins his future future on Tian Feng to see if his views will change. This kind of betrayal of the lord is despised by all the heroes in the world, let alone betraying it twice?
In Tian Feng's character, in addition to being strong and upright, he is also proud of his unwillingness to admit defeat. He is optimistic about Yuan Shao and just wants to support this lord to dominate the world. Now, Yuan Shao has become the overlord of the north. He is about to destroy Kong Rong, pacify Cao Cao, drive out Gongsun, capture Lu Bu, and unify the north. However, he and Qu Yi, the group of surrendered generals, have been ruthlessly suppressed and treated coldly by Yuan Shao. God is so blind.
Tian Feng frowned and fell into deep thought. Neither Qu Yi nor Li Li dared to interrupt his train of thought. Chen Long lowered his eyes, picked up the wine and smelled the aroma under his nose. His expression and posture were elegant and calm. The silence in the hall could be heard. The future and destiny of Qu Yi and others, as well as the future and destiny of the families of these surrendered generals, will be reversed at this moment.
After a long time, Tian Feng finally raised his head, almost holding his forehead and asked: "Li Zhizhong, how many old friends can you contact?"
Hearing this, Li Li thought about it carefully and said: "The commander of the archers, Zhao Fu, and the deputy commander, Cheng Huan, refused to surrender to Yuan, so they abandoned their official posts and lived in seclusion in Heyang. Chief Shi Geng Wu, Biejia Min Chun, who were engaged in judging and matching, were all in Yecheng, Yuan Shao His subordinates are officials.”
Tian Feng nodded and said: "Among these people, only Shen Pei and Shen Zhengnan have lived a satisfactory life. When Yuan Benchu took control of Jizhou at the beginning, Shen Pei was entrusted with the role of confidant and took charge of the shogunate. After Yuan Benchu listened to my plan and drove away Gongsun Zan, He used Shen Zhengnan to regulate the military, and later supplemented it with Guo Tu. Now that Shen Ping is dead set on Yuan Benchu, we are being scolded and suspicious of him. Forget it, except for Shen Zhengnan, please bring the others and their family members secretly. Let’s go to Cangzhou.”
Although Tian Feng's words were low, it was like thunder and lightning in the ears of Qu Yi and Li Li. What does it mean for these frustrated people to gather together! ? Qu Yi's eyebrows stood up and he stared at Tian Feng. Tian Feng nodded heavily and suddenly regained his calm look. Qu Yi knew for sure that it was Tian Feng who had made up his mind!
Tian Feng's expression became soothed, and he raised his glass with a smile and said to Chen Long: "Mr. Long, since you are unwilling to reveal your identity, I will not force you to do so. Regardless of whether you are Chen Long's person or not, I am waiting for a small Cangzhou force to consider the people. , I will never dare to raise the flag of rebellion blatantly. The Qinglong Army is far away, so I still want to trouble you sir."
Chen Long smiled and nodded, and said tentatively: "But you want me to convince Gongsun Zan to let him attack the heart of Jizhou from Youzhou again along the gate of Cangzhou?"
Tian Feng was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Sir, your reaction is so quick! I can't do the same. I didn't expect to directly borrow troops from Gongsun Zan, but the meaning is similar to what you think."
Chen Long snorted and said, "What did Yuan Hao say?"
Tian Feng further explained: "Tian Yu, the guard of Yuyang in Youzhou not far from here, is a close friend of mine and has a deep connection with my family. He recently had a fierce fight with a hero, and he was recruiting troops aggressively. He has a very powerful team. troops. If we can get support from these troops, Cangzhou can no longer have the surname Yuan."
Chen Long's heart moved and he quickly asked: "Who is that hero?"
Tian Feng's eyes were bright, he raised his fists toward the sky and said loudly: "This man is the uncle of the emperor of the Han Dynasty today. His surname is Liu, his name is Bei, and his courtesy name is Xuande. His two sworn brothers, Guan and Zhang, are both brave enough to be worthy of any man. If you get these three If people help each other, why worry about not accomplishing anything?"
When Chen Long heard this, he felt excited. He thought that Tian Yu was also a famous general in Youzhou. If these four people could cooperate with Tian Feng and Qu Yi, they would definitely stir up the situation in Jizhou. He couldn't help but carefully examine Tian Yu's life in his mind.
Tian Yu, courtesy name Guorang, was born in Yongnu, Yuyang (today's Wuqing District, Jin City). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he first followed Liu Bei, but because his mother returned to his hometown in old age, he later followed Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan was defeated and persuaded the city lord Xian Yufu to join Cao Cao's camp. When Cao Cao conquered Hebei, Tian Yu was officially appointed by Cao Cao and served successively as Yingyin, Langlingling, and Yiyang prefect.
Later, Tian Yu guarded the northern border of Cao Wei for many years, and made many meritorious deeds, including conquering Wuhuan, Zhangujin, and defeating Kebineng. He also participated in the battle against Sun Wu, beheading Zhou He in Chengshan, and defeating Sun Quan in Xincheng. When the official reaches Taizhong Dafu, he can be granted the title of Marquis of Changle Pavilion.
When Liu Bei defected to Gongsun Zan, Tian Yu himself trusted Liu Bei, and Liu Bei valued him very much. After Liu Bei was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, Tian Yu asked to return to his hometown on the grounds of his mother's old age. Liu Bei cried goodbye to him and said, "I just wish I couldn't build a great cause with you." As for why Tian Yu left when Liu Bei was proud, he There are different opinions.
When Tian Yu was the county magistrate of Gongsun Zan, he was a brave and strategic general. Later, Gongsun Zan failed and Xian Yufu was elected as the prefect. Tian Yu had a very good relationship with him, so he advised Xian Yufu to quickly join Cao Cao, thinking that sooner or later the world would belong to Cao Cao. After Xian Yufu heard Tian Yu's advice, he quickly went to Cao Cao's military camp to seek refuge. Cao Cao saw that he had come to seek refuge, and he used him very highly. After Xian Yufu was reused by Cao Cao, he received great benefits wherever he went. governance. Tian Yu has a very long-term vision and can see things that others cannot.
After Tian Yu defected to Cao Cao, he also made countless military exploits and shocked the border areas. Tian Yu directly fought against Karasuma's army many times. At that time, Karasuma, the commander of Shi County, rebelled. Cao Zhang, the Marquis of Yanling, led the army to go on an expedition and appointed Tian Yu as acting prime minister. As soon as the army arrived in Elbei, thousands of enemy cavalry ambushed them and suddenly attacked them. At that time, because the troops and horses had not yet been assembled, Cao Zhang only had a thousand infantrymen and hundreds of horses. The soldiers were in turmoil and did not know what to do. Tian Yu suggested taking advantage of the terrain to form a circular formation with vehicles linked together, with soldiers drawing their crossbows to guard inside, and using mobile soldiers to block the gaps in the formation. The enemy could not attack and dispersed. Cao Zhang and Tian Yu led their troops to pursue and defeated the Karasuma enemy, and then continued to pursue the victory and pacified Daijun. After that, Tian Yu was promoted to the governor of Nanyang and achieved great success.
According to the official history, in the early years of Emperor Wen of Wei, the nomadic tribes in the north became powerful and invaded the frontiers. The imperial court appointed Tian Yu as the captain of Chijie and Huwuwan, and Qianzhao and Jiejun as the captain of Huxianbei. From the east of Gaoliu to the west of Haoqian, there are dozens of tribes of Xianbei people. Bineng, Mika and Suli divide the areas to rule them. Each has its own territory. They jointly made an oath not to sell horses to the people of the Central Plains. . Tian Yu believed that the Hu people uniting together would be detrimental to the Central Plains court. So he first provoked discord between them, making them hate each other and attack each other. Su Li violated the covenant and gave a thousand horses to the government. As a result, he was attacked by Ke Bineng and asked Tian Yu for help. Tian Yu was worried that the annexation of each other would cause greater harm, and believed that the good should be rescued and the evil punished to show prestige to each tribe. So he led his elite soldiers alone and went deep into the areas controlled by the Hulu. There were many Hulu people and looted the officers and soldiers in front and behind them, cutting off the retreat route. Tian Yu then led his army to advance. When they were more than ten miles away from the Hu people, they set up camp, collected a lot of cow and horse dung, burned it, and withdrew by another road. Seeing the constant fireworks, the Hu people thought that Tian Yu's army was still there, so they left. After walking for dozens of miles, they discovered that Tian Yu had withdrawn. They pursued Tian Yu to Macheng and besieged it heavily. Tian Yu defended it tightly and ordered Sima to set up flags, play drums, and lead the infantry and cavalry to fight out from the south gate. Wherever the Hu people focused their attention, they followed attack. Tian Yuze led the elite cavalry to rush out from the north gate, beating drums and shouting for a kill. They attacked from two sides. The Hu people were caught off guard and their positions were in chaos. They all abandoned their bows and horses and fled. Tian Yu led his troops to attack continuously for more than 20 miles, and the bodies of the barbarians were all over the fields. From then on, Tian Yu became a powerful person in northern Xinjiang.
Looking back, Tian Yu left Liu Bei, first of all, because Liu Bei had decided to leave Gongsun Zan and go to Tao Qian, which was not what Tian Yu wanted. Tian Yu's mother always wanted to return, and the reasons were quite good. Liu Bei had no reason to refuse. Secondly, Tian Yu discovered that he and Liu Bei had different ideas. Liu Bei believed that Gongsun Zan had deteriorated and could no longer shoulder the important task of helping the world, so he chose to leave. However, Tian Yu believed that people should pay great attention to their integrity and would rather die for integrity. However, Liu Bei was capricious and even openly betrayed Gongsun Zan. Liu Bei is often praised for his excellent vision and ability to know people well. However, Tian Yu is the most regrettable thing in Liu Bei's life. If Tian Yu can help Liu Bei, perhaps history can be rewritten.
When Chen Long arrived in Jizhou, it happened to be the honeymoon period between Tian Yu and Liu Bei, and Tian Feng was still a close friend or relative of Tian Yu. How could he, Chen Long, let go of such a good opportunity to stir up trouble?
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
