So Nangong Xiong's task for Qin Tian was to return gifts to Ye Feng. Now that the return gifts have been delivered, it's time for Qin Tian to go back. Just when Qin Tian and Ye Feng were saying goodbye
Suddenly Ye Feng said, "Mr. Qin, I hope that even if you don't want to come to Jingdu, you'd better leave Yong'an as soon as possible and stop staying with Nangong Xiong."
"When Mr. Qin read poetry and books, he should understand the fate of Tian Feng in the Three Kingdoms. At this moment, Mr. Tian is in the same situation as that of Tian Feng. Although the younger generation may have overstepped his bounds, the younger generation still wants to say to Mr. Qin, 'A man is born in heaven and earth, not It is unwise to know his master and act against him. Wanwang Qin Lao thinks twice!"
Qin Tian fell silent when he heard this, because what Ye Feng said was actually right.
Qin Tian had known for a long time that Nangong Xiong had ambitions to be emperor, but after seeing him hold back for many years, he thought he had given up. However, since the appearance of Ye Feng's top-grade spiritual stone, the solid barriers between the two camps were broken. This gave Nangong Xiong an opportunity. Qin Tian knew that the most crucial thing in this was Ye Feng's scheming. Nangong Xiong had a chance to compete. It was obvious that his whole person had changed. In the previous situation, Nangong Xiong could still listen to his own opinions, but then he couldn't listen to him anymore. I have always advised him that he can have the ambition of the emperor, but not now, he can completely plot a big plan afterwards.
In fact, Qin Tian knew that his situation at this moment was exactly the same as Tian Feng's
. . .
In 200 AD, Yuan Shao was defeated in the Battle of Guandu and returned. Someone said to Tian Feng: "You must be reused." Tian Feng shook his head and said: "If the army wins the battle, then I will be safe and sound; but now that the lord is defeated, my situation is not good."
As early as before the war started, Tian Feng advised Yuan Shao: "Cao Cao is good at using troops, my lord, don't underestimate the enemy! It's better for us to stay calm, make friends with heroes externally, actively prepare for war internally, and then dispatch elite troops to harass the south of the Yellow River. Cao Cao If Cao Cao saves the right, we will attack the left; if Cao Cao saves the left, we will attack the right. In this way, the enemy will be exhausted and the people will be restless, while we wait for work, and we can defeat them in less than two years. The Lord now wants to fight Cao Cao to a decisive battle Win or lose, if you lose, it will be too late to regret.”
At that time, Yuan Shao owned the four states of Ji, Qing, You, and Bing, commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and looked down upon the world, completely ignoring the weak Cao Cao. Yuan Shao sneered at Tian Feng's advice.
Tian Feng was loyal and never stopped persuading. Yuan Shao was very impatient and thought that he was deliberately trying to shake the morale of the army, so he sent someone to imprison him until after the war.
As early as a few months ago, Tian Feng made a very important suggestion to Yuan Shao, but unfortunately it was not adopted.
At that time, Zuo Jiangjun Liu Bei killed Xuzhou governor Che Zhou, occupied Peixian County, and openly betrayed Cao Cao. Tian Feng took the opportunity to admonish Yuan Shao: "The one who competes with you for the world is Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao is heading east to attack Liu Bei, the war will not end immediately. If my lord leads an army to sneak attack on his rear,
What is unexpected is that Yuan Shao refused Tian Feng's proposal because his son was ill.
Tian Feng was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He threw the crutch to the ground and said sadly: "Oh, such a rare opportunity was wasted because a child was sick. What a pity!"
After Yuan Shao heard Tian Feng's complaints, he became increasingly alienated from him.
When Cao Cao went to Pei County to conquer Liu Bei, he was worried that Yuan Shao would take advantage of the opportunity to attack his rear, so he adopted a quick battle strategy against Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was quickly defeated and fled to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao. At this time, Yuan Shao decided to go south to attack Cao Cao's base camp-Xuchang.
Although the previous advice was not adopted, Tian Feng had the consciousness of a counselor and continued to advise Yuan Shao: "Since Cao Cao has defeated Liu Bei's army, Xuchang is no longer empty. Besides, Cao Cao is good at using troops and is full of tricks. He Although our troops are small, we cannot underestimate him. It is better to adopt the strategy of weakening the enemy and plan for it slowly."
The stubborn Yuan Shao naturally couldn't listen to Tian Feng's advice. Yuan Shao personally led 120,000 elite troops southward and launched a decisive battle with Cao's army of only about 30,000 troops in Guandu. Because the food and grass were cut off, all the generals surrendered to the enemy. Yuan Shao was severely defeated and finally fled back to the north with only 800 cavalry.
The one hundred thousand army was destroyed because Yuan Shao did not listen to his advice. The soldiers who escaped from death cried: "If Tian Feng were here, how could we end up in this situation!"
Yuan Shao said to his counselor Feng Ji: "Tian Feng tried to dissuade me before the war, but now that I have suffered a complete defeat, I have no face to see him."
Feng Ji had always been jealous of Tian Feng, so he took the opportunity to frame him and said, "When Tian Feng heard that General you had returned in defeat, he clapped his hands and laughed, feeling very proud of his foresight."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he became angry and sent people to kill Tian Feng.
When Cao Cao heard that Tian Feng did not follow Yuan Shao on the expedition, he was overjoyed and said to his subordinates: "Yuan Shao will lose this battle!" Everyone was doubtful.
When Yuan Shao was defeated, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh: "If Yuan Shao had adopted Tian Feng's strategy, the outcome would have been really unpredictable."
When Yuan Shao raised troops in Bohai, he humbly invited Tian Feng to serve as a counselor with generous gifts. Tian Feng, who resigned and lived in seclusion at home, took it as his own responsibility to help the country and decided to follow Yuan Shao to make contributions.
It is a pity that Yuan Shao, who is ambitious, indecisive, and willful, is not a wise master.
. . .
Ye Feng said: "Mr. Qin, your current situation is just like that of Tian Feng back then. If Nangong Xiong wins and becomes the emperor, sir, he can naturally live on and even get alms and become the prime minister. As the latest testimony of his success, after all, for Nangong As far as Nangong Xiong is concerned, the approval of a group of ants is nothing compared to the approval of a 'person'. But once Nangong Xiong is defeated, the first person he wants to kill is you, sir. You should know this better than anyone else at this moment "
Ye Feng paused for a moment and bowed respectfully to Qin Tian. "This junior's talent and ability in management are very dull, so this junior wants Mr., very much. If Mr. feels that this junior invites Mr. If the etiquette is not enough, the younger generation is willing to follow the example of the ancient Liu Bei Xuande Gong, who paid three visits to Mr. Yu, no, ten visits, a hundred visits, and a thousand visits to Mr. Yu."
Seeing Ye Feng like this, Qin Tian was silent for a long time and asked Ye Feng: "Ye Feng, what is your ambition? Is it the imperial power?"
Ye Feng did not stand up but still maintained his bowing posture, and said respectfully, "Mr. Qin, this junior is a modern person. He has no intention of competing for the imperial power, and he even scorns it. Although this junior has ambitions, it is not convenient for him to fully submit to Mr. Qin now." Exposed, but what the junior can tell Mr. Qin is that one of the junior’s ambitions is to make the world, the common people, everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, land to farm, houses to live in, jobs to study, and books to study.”
Qin Tian was silent for a long time after hearing what Ye Feng said, then stepped forward to help Ye Feng up and said, "If Nangong Xiong has such ambitions as you, what's the harm in asking me to follow you until death?"
