Tian Feng's face did not change and said calmly: "The lord inherited his family tutors at a young age, read poetry and books, and was familiar with historical events. I believe that there were hardships in the founding of the country in all dynasties. There were difficulties in killing Gun in Xia, the Shang Dynasty had prisoners of Xiatai, and the Zhou Dynasty had Yan.
The detention of the Li family. As for the Han Dynasty, there were countless setbacks. The defeat of Pengcheng and the escape of Xingyang were all well known. In comparison, what's wrong with the lord's plan for the people of Shandong to endure temporary humiliation?"
Yuan Shao was speechless for a moment, so he couldn't say anything else.
Compared with the humiliation suffered by the founding kings of the three generations, his grievances were indeed nothing. If Tian Feng was blamed for this, he would be blind.
Seeing this, Feng Ji took the initiative to speak: "What should I do after retreating to Jizhou?"
Tian Feng glanced at Feng Ji and smiled slightly. "Yuantu thought that if the lord retreated to Jizhou, can the world be peaceful?"
Feng Ji looked at Yuan Shao uneasyly and asked back, "Can't you?"
Tian Feng laughed without hiding the contempt in his eyes.
"Did Yuantu think the root cause of the chaos in the world is the lord? No. The reason for the chaos in the world is the struggle between the court and scholars, is the world of the world of the world, or the struggle between one person. If this problem is not solved, the world will be
There is no real peace. Even if there is a temporary peace, it is just a breath of a fierce battle. Once both sides recover, they will inevitably fight again and will never stop."
Feng Ji frowned slightly, and his eyes became solemn.
He followed Yuan Shao for many years and had contacted many party members. Naturally, he knew what Tian Feng said was exactly right.
The party members continued to do not the rise and fall of the Yuan clan, but the interests of the people of the world.
This world should be the world of the world, not the world of one person. The emperor just flatters the will of heaven to govern the people, not the will of heaven, and cannot act arbitrarily and regards others as servants.
The heavens are born to the people, not the king; the heavens are established to the king, but the people are regarded as the people.
What the scholars and officials sought was control over the court.
"The lord's call for a high place, and the world responded not only because the Yuan family's three generations, their disciples and former officials were everywhere, but also because the lord inherited the will of his ancestors and competed for profit for the people of the world. It was just that the mediocre people forgot their righteousness when they saw profit, and were forced to do so.
The Lianghu and wolf army would rather live a life of silence than fight back. This is their shame, not the lord's fault."
Yuan Shao deeply felt the same, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and felt that he was let down by the people of the world.
"However, how can the general trend change the situation by a temporary setback? Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world for only sixteen years, and died in the second lifetime, and the Han Dynasty was prosperous. Wang Mang failed the world for only fifteen years, and his country was destroyed.
, and Guangwu occupied Hebei and unified the world. If today, Zi wanted to use Liang's elite troops to whip the world, even if he could be prosperous for a while, how could he last for a long time?"
Tian Feng's beard was bulging, his eyes were as sharp as a torch, looking around, his mightyness.
"For a moment of setback, Yu Yongren was pressing down on Mount Tai, while Yu gentlemen sharpened stones. Yu Wenren was only worthy of being a slave, but only a gentleman could persevere and make achievements. The scholars and officials in Yuzhou were living in peace, but my scholars and officials in Jizhou refused."
He turned to Yuan Shao and said loudly: "After retreating to Jizhou, if the lord advances, whether he enters the court to take charge of the government or raises up a military force to stop violence, Feng should hold a whip for the lord. If the lord retreats, Feng may retreat to the village or hide his axe, all like
The Lord wishes.”
Yuan Shao was stunned by Tian Feng's momentum and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Feng Ji's face was red and his face was awkward, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The atmosphere in the big tent became extremely awkward.
Seeing this, Chen Lin smiled and said, "Yuan Hao means that even if the lord is willing to endure humiliation and accept peace, the world will not be peaceful?"
Tian Feng looked back and sneered. "Hedong, do you not know what the kingly way of Guanzhong looks like? Wei Gu and Fan Xian escaped from death, but the Hedong clan was neglected and could not be the court. Guanzhong Dutian
, The wealth accumulated by many great families over the generations has been seized, which is no different from the common people. Is this kingly way the kingly way you want? Is it the kingly way the scholars and officials of the Central Plains want?"
Chen Lin took a breath.
Yuan Shao woke up like a dream, the haze in his heart was wiped out, and his eyes regained their spirits.
Tian Feng is right, the emperor’s new policy is based on the field.
For ordinary people, this is the kingly way.
For the big clan, this is tyranny.
Who is willing to share their own land with the people?
Don’t look at the Runan tribes shouting long live now, and when the emperor wants to dig the fields in Shandong, do you see if they are willing to accept it?
The best choice is to retreat to Jizhou, accumulate energy, wait for the chaos in the Central Plains, and then make a comeback.
Tian Feng is Tian Feng. Although he has a bad temper, his vision is first-class.
Only people like me can tolerate him.
Yuan Shao turned anger into joy and looked at the others. "What do you guys think?"
When everyone heard Yuan Shao's tone, they knew that Yuan Shao had accepted Tian Feng's plan and was willing to endure humiliation. What we had to discuss next was to take down Pengcheng and retreat, or to retreat directly.
Anyway, the autumn harvest has ended, and the grain from each county has been sent to the camp, and it is not a loss to be removed now.
Finally, there is another question: Is Lujiang still guarding or not?
Tian Feng suggested that since you want to withdraw, you should withdraw more simply, which can not only express your sincerity in peace talks, but also avoid unnecessary losses. Yan Liang has been in charge of Lujiang for nearly two years and has repeatedly repelled Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's attacks, and is familiar with the situation in Huainan.
It will be of great use in the future, but it would be a pity to die in battle.
He withdrew Yan Liang and gave Lujiang to Yuan Shu in exchange for Yuan Shu's statement of withdrawing and expelling Yuan Shao from his clan.
Although Yuan Shu is the governor of Yangzhou, the only area he can control is Jiujiang. If Lujiang can be "recovered", it will be a contribution. I believe he should accept this transaction.
Yuan Shao felt it was reasonable and asked Fengji to go to Shouchun.
Feng Ji and Yuan Shu were old acquaintances, and they had met Zhang Xi and Zong Cheng several times, so he could speak better.
Yuan Shao is willing to give in, but he is also giving Zhang Xi a face, so he naturally cannot give in vain. Zhang Xi should be rewarded.
At the same time, Yuan Shao ordered Chen Lin to make an announcement, announcing that it was a plan for the people of Shandong. He was willing to accept the humiliating conditions of the court and withdraw his troops back to Jizhou. However, he did not agree with the court's decision to Dutian, nor would he promote Dutian in Jizhou.
.If the Shandong scholars and officials had the same philosophy as him, they could go to Jizhou with him to participate in the grand ceremony and realize the true kingly way.
As soon as the news came out, the trend of public opinion in Shandong immediately changed.
Those who had expressed their disappointment with Yuan Shao changed their words, praising Yuan Shao for being aware of the general and persistent, being able to endure humiliation and not fear power, and being a descendant of the Yuan family of the four generations and three dukes.
In contrast, Yuan Shu was simply shameless and was not worthy of being the head of the Yuan family.
Although not many people were willing to abandon their industries and follow Yuan Shao to Jizhou, they were all very generous and donated a lot of money and grain to see Yuan Shao off. Some even said they wanted to write a letter together, asking the court to ask Yuan Shao to join the court to take charge of the government and stop pursuing the fields.
Compete with the people for profit.
Among these people, the loudest voice was Xu Shao and Xu Zijiang who had just rushed back from Yuzhang.
He led a group of gentry and doctors to block Zhang Xi at the gate of Shouchun City, and demanded Zhang Xi to express his opinion with righteousness.
