Jizhou Mu Han Fu has been very high-spirited recently. Although he didn't know why, he got the position of Jizhou Mu for no reason. Generally speaking, it is quite good. In addition, he has a good relationship with Yuan Shao. He became even more arrogant. Ever since he heard that Emperor Ling didn't like Cheng Feng very much, Han Fu spared no effort to cause trouble for Cheng Feng in order to please Yuan Shao. Now everything is waiting for improvement. In order to improve Jizhou's economy, Han Fu directly asked Cheng Feng for help. Chengfeng asked for money and food, but was rejected by Chengfeng. Han Fu felt a little embarrassed and asked Chengfeng to increase the tax on the fiefdom. However, Chengfeng ignored him until now, which made him even more unhappy.
"Benchu, this time I have completely offended Chengfeng because of you. What will we do if he doesn't raise taxes?" Han Fu asked with some worry, the shadow of the famous tree, the prestige of Chengfeng and Zhao Yun He knew very well that the reason why he dared to attack Cheng Feng was because of the Yuan family.
"Don't worry, I will support you. Chengfeng is now disliked by His Majesty. My Yuan family's disciples and former officials are all over the Han Dynasty. As long as I stand up and shout, Chengfeng's reputation will be bad in the streets. By then, people all over the world will We are biased towards us. Besides, Chengfeng is well-known throughout Jizhou for his wealth. This time we ask him for something for the sake of the people of Jizhou and His Majesty. I don’t think His Majesty will blame us, and the people will only resent Chengfeng! As long as Chengfeng raises taxes, No matter what, his reputation is over, now it depends on what he chooses, no matter what he does, it will do no harm to us but not good to him!" Yuan Shao laughed.
"Hopefully, I always feel that Cheng Feng will not be captured without mercy. I know him well and will not compromise so easily. I think he may be thinking of other strategies. The biggest advantage of this person is that he can take advantage of the situation. I think Please Benchu, please send troops to take strict precautions. Once Chengfeng sends people in to stir up trouble, the city of Ye will be in chaos, and maybe Jizhou will be in chaos. When the time comes, he will send troops to suppress it, and maybe the entire Jizhou will be his!" Han Fu was a little worried
"Haha, don't worry about this. Cheng Feng doesn't have that much courage. The world has just stabilized and no one dares to use swords and guns. If Cheng Feng dares to take action, His Majesty will not spare him without the help of others!" Yuan Shao was very confident. said
Although Yuan Shao said this confidently, Han Fu still felt uneasy in his heart. He always felt that something was going to happen. Seeing Yuan Shao being so confident, Han Fu could only sigh. He thought to himself that he couldn't hang himself on a tree. After making preparations, when he saw Yuan Shao leaving, Han Fu ordered his cronies to take precautions in various places to prevent him from being betrayed by Yuan Shao!
Although Yuan Shao left, he was not at peace in his heart. With the support of his family, he already had an army. Now he was a little afraid of Cheng Feng, so Yuan Shao tried every means to ask Han Fu to provoke Cheng Feng and see what Cheng Feng's bottom line was. Where, now Yuan Shao has set his sights on Bingzhou and Youzhou. He originally planned to seize Qingzhou, but after many inquiries, he has learned that Qingzhou has become Cao Cao's back garden. Now Yuan Shao has set his sights on Bingzhou and Youzhou.
"Yan Liang, you and Jushuo quietly occupy Shangdang County and block Ding Yuan's march route in advance! Wen Chou, you and Shenpei go and occupy Hejian County and strangle Gongsun Zan's southward route!" Yuan Shao faced his The subordinates ordered
"Yes, my lord!"
"Gao Lan, you and Tian Feng led troops to cut the wheat near Yecheng. Remember to do it under the banner of Cheng Feng!" Yuan Shao chuckled, leaving Gao Lan speechless for a while. This smiling tiger wanted to do it again. People!
"Yes, my lord!"
"Well, let's get ready. Remember to be careful and don't let anything slip!" Yuan Shao instructed.
"The world's turmoil has surpassed my generation, and once I entered the world, the years were rushing, and the emperor's supremacy was chatting and laughing, it was not like a dream in life!" Emperor Ling looked at the poem in his hand and laughed. This Cheng Feng is really interesting. He can actually write it. Such an interesting poem is just for fun. If you really look into it carefully, it is just like that. Any open-mindedness is just bullshit. To put it bluntly, it is just a sign of not being strong enough and being powerless. Emperor Ling sighed a little after reading it. , the bones in my body are slowly decaying, and I no longer have the energy to expand the territory. However, I still have the biggest wish in this life, which is to cripple the Qiang people!
"Your Majesty, we have reported from the border that the Qiang people are ready to move south again to rob food and grass!" Zhang Rang said with evasive eyes.
"Huh? You still dare to come? Send an order to Bingzhou Governor Ding Yuan and Lu Bu to march and attack the Qiang people! You must keep the Qiang people away from Yanmen Pass!" Emperor Ling frowned and said calmly,
"Yes! Your Majesty, it is better to let Cheng Feng also send troops to exterminate the Qiang people. This way the chance of winning is greater!" Zhang Rang said.
Emperor Ling looked at Zhang Rang coldly until he was so cold that he said, "Well, go ahead! Let Cheng Feng send troops!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang wiped his cold sweat as he exited. At the same time, he was very happy. He was finally able to trick Cheng Feng. Humph, you don't know how to appreciate it. Zhang Rang has now imagined that Cheng Feng was deceived by the Qiang people. It was like a rat scurrying away with its head covered!
"Humph! Idiot!" Looking at Zhang Rang going out, Emperor Ling sneered. He knew Cheng Feng's strength very well. As long as he took action, he would be able to deal with the Qiang people easily. But in this way, the pressure to become a cover opponent would be even greater, " The sharp edge of the sword is sharpened, and it depends on you whether it becomes a dragon or a tiger. I can't protect you all the time. The next step is up to you!" Emperor Ling thought silently.
"How is it? Does Your Majesty agree?" Just after Zhang Rang walked out of the hall, Yuan Huai said,
"Agreed! This time we will work together to get rid of Cheng Feng, and then we will have a showdown!" Zhang Rang said. No one could have imagined that eunuchs and aristocratic families would join forces to deal with Cheng Feng!
"Haha, a duel? Is there still a need for a duel?" Yuan Huai laughed. Even a fool could hear the sarcasm in his words. This also made other ministers laugh.
"Hmph!" Zhang Rang and others snorted coldly, without saying anything else. They were no match for these people who were well-read in poetry and books! I will let you be proud for a few days, and then I will deal with you properly after Cheng Feng is destroyed!
When the major families returned to their homes, they began to operate secretly. Everyone was taking the opportunity to collect food and secretly accumulate strength. Suddenly, many powerful people appeared in the world, and they took advantage of the opportunity to defeat the Yellow Turban Army. Many soldiers have been recruited and have established their own bases. Now everyone is secretly waiting for the death of Emperor Ling, and then start fighting for hegemony!
"Hmph, to deal with the Qiang people, I, He Jin, are not needed. It's really unreasonable!" He Jin was a little unhappy when he knew that Cheng Feng was asked to eliminate the Qiang people.
"General, please calm down. The general is a man of ten thousand gold. How can he personally take risks? Letting Cheng Feng send troops this time clearly shows that it is the conspiracy of the noble family and the eunuchs. Although your majesty is unwilling, there is no other way. If you want to stop them, you can only agree to their arrangement, otherwise the Qiang people can go all the way south to Kyoto!" Chen Lin said with a smile, as He Jin's chief think tank, he still has the foresight.
"Oh, so the Qiang people were also released by aristocratic families?" He Jin was not stupid, and he understood as soon as he heard this. Everyone said that He Jin was a pig butcher, but in fact, He Jin himself was not a simple person.
"Yes, so Chengfeng's expedition is the result that the family and the eunuchs want together. If Chengfeng does not hide his strength, he will be defeated. However, the general can take the opportunity to expand his strength and take down the Western Army and the Northern Army first. Once you have it, you can control the Imperial Army in Luoyang. When His Majesty leaves, you will have the final say in Luoyang!" Chen Lin said with a smile.
"Oh!" He Jin's eyes flashed, and he was obviously very excited, "But this aristocratic family and the eunuchs will not give up so easily. After all, they have trained two spokespersons, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao!" He Jin had a headache. ,
"Haha, everyone in the world can see that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have become the climate. They are no longer chess pieces in their hands, but have become chess players! The general can ask your majesty to recruit the two of them into the capital. , and then reward high-ranking officials with generous salaries and trap them in Luoyang, which will slowly weaken their power!" Chen Lin suggested
"Okay! What a good idea. Let's do this. While His Majesty can still live a few years, control the power of the Third Assistant in Luoyang first. As for the rest, let them go dog-eat-dog!" He Jin laughed, making Chen Lin After saying this, he felt that things were not that complicated anymore!
"Brother, why did His Majesty ask us to send troops? Then why should I go and collect food?" Zhao Yun was also a little speechless. He had already prepared everything and was just waiting to snatch Yuan Shao's food. Now this happened again. It's really What makes people wonder is what this is all about!
"Go, of course, your Majesty didn't say when to send troops. Besides, Ding Yuan and Lu Bu can stop the Qiang people from going south. What we need is to attack and scare the Qiang people!" Cheng Feng chuckled, He said with his big teeth bared.
"Attack?" When Zhang Liao heard this, his eyes moved and he felt a little excited. Zhang Liao himself is from Mayi, Yanmen. He was beaten by the Qiang people when he lived in the hinterland. It is absolutely impossible to say that he has no idea about them!
Seeing Zhang Liao's expression, Cheng Feng understood Zhang Liao's thoughts. As a qualified leader, he must take into account the feelings of his subordinates. "This time your Majesty asked me to send troops, but I can't resist. In this way, I will lead Wenyuan Xu Shu Just go, Zilong should guard Changshan for me, and Zhang He should guard Julu for me. When we come back, it will probably not be so peaceful!" Cheng Feng said to everyone, and it was obvious that Zhang Liao's eyes were full after hearing this. A glow of excitement!
"Brother, just you guys go there, won't there be too few people here?" Zhao Yun asked anxiously, "This Qiang people are nomadic people. When you get there, you are not familiar with the place. It can be said that there are enemies everywhere. If you don't bring more people, How can we deal with them?" Zhao Yun was a little anxious, feeling that Cheng Feng was being too much!
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Wen Yuan is here, and big things can be decided!" Cheng Feng said with a smile, "As the saying goes, the food and grass go first before the three armies are moved. You must ensure that the food and grass issue is taken care of for me, otherwise my army will starve to death. On the grassland!" Cheng Feng blinked and said to Tian Yu
"Haha, Lord, don't worry about this. We will definitely ensure good logistics. We are just afraid that the family will stumble us later!" Tian Yu said with a bitter smile. This made everyone a little silent. This is indeed a big problem.
"Don't worry, don't worry too much. The most important thing for you now is to collect the food from Han Fu and Yuan Shao first!" Cheng Feng's eyes turned cold. Since he is an enemy, he won't leave any escape route for you. " Wen Yuan led the White Tiger Army to familiarize himself with the terrain and climate of the Qiang people, and then drew a map for me!" After thinking about it, Cheng Feng said to Zhang Liao
"Yes, my lord! It's just that these are troubled times. If I take the White Tiger Army away, will it affect the situation in Jizhou?" Although Zhang Liao wanted to go directly to the Qiang tribe to avenge his father and fellow villagers, he still had to consider Cheng Feng. the situation faced.
"It doesn't matter, you lead the White Tiger Army to attack first and map out all the terrain. In less than five days, I will lead the army out. Remember to be stealthy. We will decide everything after you and I get together!" Cheng Feng smile
"Yes, lord!" Zhang Liao suppressed the excitement in his heart and shouted loudly. His White Tiger Army was all old brothers who were forced by the Qiang people. The last time they beat Beigong Boyu, it was a relief, but It would be even more exciting if we could hit the Qiang hinterland this time. Seeing how excited Zhang Liao was, Cheng Feng said again, "Wen Yuan, your troops are very fast. You should take advantage of the darkness tonight and set off. It just so happens that Zilong and the others are going out, so it can be regarded as a cover-up!"
"Yes, I will prepare now!" Zhang Liao said happily. Now Zhang Liao feels so comfortable. Today is the happiest day for him in these days. He has to tell all the brothers about it quickly. It is the most morale-boosting approach.
"Brother, are we going to collect grain tonight?" Zhao Yun asked. He understood from Chengfeng's words that time was very urgent and he had to hurry up, but he was still worried that Yuan Shao hadn't harvested it yet. What to do with food?
"It's easy to handle. If you encounter it, grab it. If you don't encounter it, take the opportunity to collect the food. If Yuan Shao dares to talk nonsense, just say that it is the military food we conquered the Qiang people. Let him tell His Majesty what he has to say and let them plot against me. Hmph!" Cheng Feng He said with a dark face, he felt unhappy when he thought about it!
"What if Yuan Shao comes to grab food?" Zhang He asked. This possibility is very high. Yuan Shao never follows common sense. In other words, he is more shameless and dares to do anything!
"Then beat him up. You can't use words, but can you use fists? If you see them being dishonest, beat them up first. I won't believe you!" Cheng Feng sneered,
"Okay, let's get ready. We have two days to collect the grain. You will prepare the grain and fodder. When the matter here is resolved, I will lead the troops to attack the Qiang people!" Cheng Feng finally made the decision.
"Yes, lord!" everyone said excitedly. These are people who came out of the battlefield. It is really not easy to keep them quiet for a long time!
The moon is thin, the magpies are flying south, the sky is a little gloomy, and the temperature is a little cool. It is a good time for the autumn harvest. Gao Lan takes advantage of the darkness to harvest wheat quickly. Regarding pretending to be a feudal army, Gao Lan feels that it is a bit too much. This lord is really speechless. Why do you keep arguing with Cheng Feng when you say you have nothing to do?
"Do it!" Zhao Yun saw that the time was almost up, so he gave the order directly. As Zhao Zilong's order was conveyed, the Dragon God Army quickly seized a favorable position and launched an attack directly, leaving Gao Lan who was secretly rejoicing. What was going on? ? Why would anyone dare to attack Yuan Shao in Jizhou?
"Who? How dare you snatch the food from me, Xiaoyao Hou Chengfeng!" Gao Lan shouted loudly and showed his name first, so that ordinary people would be frightened. In fact, Gao Lan thought that it was Liu Bei who was causing trouble!
"Haha, are you Cheng Feng? Why don't you look like me?" Zhao Yun walked over and said with a smile. The expression on his face was either suppressed laughter or helpless. In short, it looked very strange.
When Gao Lan saw that it was Zhao Yun who was walking over, the expression on his face was much more exciting. He didn't know whether he was embarrassed or afraid, "Wu Shuanghou, this..." Gao Lan didn't know what to say. Now he wanted to find someone. Digging into the cracks in the ground, Li Gui really met Li Kui. Now he had no time to think about why Zhao Yun appeared here.
"Since you said this is food for my elder brother Chengfeng, it's easy to handle. Come here, pack the food and take it away. General, I want to thank you on behalf of my elder brother. We are about to go to the Northern Expedition to conquer the Qiang people. , these will be used as military rations, I hope you can contribute more food for us!" Zhao Yun said with a smile, no matter who this general belongs to, he has hit a nail today anyway!
"General Zhao, it's my fault this time. Let me use this food as military ration for you!" Gao Lan said bitterly. His people had been busy for most of the night, and their physical strength has been exhausted. Even in their heyday, it was not Zhao Yun's opponent, Gao Lan and Zhao Yun have no intention of taking action now!
Seeing that Gao Lan gave in, Zhao Yun was also happy to have some time to relax. The longer he delayed, the more conducive it would be for Zhang He and Zhang Liao's actions. It is estimated that Zhang Zha and the others have taken back the food now, and even Zhang Liao has already set off to go to the Qiang people. Gao Lan Lan saw Zhao Yun was silent for a while, and he began to feel anxious. He was worried that Zhao Yun wanted to kill him. With the help of Zhao Yun's soldiers, he could be killed in just a few minutes. Yuan Shao's large troops were sent out. It’s time to perform military duties. If we start a war with Chengfeng now, it will be an old birthday star hanging himself - he has lived enough!
Seeing Zhao Yun's men loading the grain into the cart, Gao Lan did not dare to move. This group of soldiers also recognized Zhao Yun. When they learned that all the grain they had worked hard to harvest had been given to Zhao Yun, this group of soldiers not only did not feel angry. , on the contrary, he was very happy, and Gao Lan felt pain in his balls again, "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, you really screwed up this time!" Gao Lan muttered silently,
"Okay, seeing that you have worked hard all night, I won't waste everyone's rest time. You go back and thank me, Mr. Zhou Mu, for the food and grass!" Zhao Yun saw that the time was almost up and said with a smile, His words made Gao Lan breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhao Yun did not take action. Zhao Yun's silence just now made Gao Lan nervous for a long time!
"Thank you, General Zhao!" Gao Lan saluted Zhao Yun very solemnly, and his life was finally saved today. Watching Zhao Yun walk away, Gao Lan smiled bitterly, "Let's all go back and have a good rest." He could already imagine Yuan Shao's face!
When he received the news the next day, Han Fu was a little confused. Yuan Shao's food and grass had been robbed by Cheng Feng. Now Yuan Shao is still roaring, and the food and grass in other counties have also been taken away by Cheng Feng in Yuan Shao's name. Now Yuan Shao's attempt to fetch water from a bamboo basket was in vain, and he lost both fame and fortune. However, he was also distressed by Cheng Feng. More and more people came to ask for food from him, and Cheng Feng even sent someone to specially give him a piece of food. Bian thanked him for the military rations he had prepared for his Northern Expedition to the Qiang people. This made Han Fu want to cry. At this time, someone came to report that Cheng Feng wanted another hundred thousand pieces of clothing for military use. After hearing the news, Han Fu cried and regretted provoking Cheng Feng!
