Jushou stared at Tian Feng next to him with some confusion, feeling panic in his heart for no reason. He obviously knew that Tian Feng had touched Yuan Shao's bottom line this time.
The ministers questioned their lord about his faults.
This is a clear stream in the court.
This is a good story in peacetime.
The problem is, these are troubled times! It’s the military!
In the military, there can always be only one voice!
As long as Yuan Shao makes a decision, no matter how fierce the dispute between the Hebei faction and the foreign faction is, it must be carried out unconditionally.
Similarly, whether it is the Hebei faction or the outside faction, as long as they can win, Yuan Shao will not decide affairs based on his own preferences. This can be said to be the hidden political rule of the Yuan Shao Group.
Now Tian Feng jumped out to question Yuan Shao. At a small level, Tian Feng was outspoken and contradicted Yuan Shao. At a large level, he was lawless and tried to challenge Yuan Shao's authority!
As the leader of the Hebei faction, Jushou naturally wanted to rush forward to defend Tian Feng.
Now, Jushu no longer thinks about transporting food or military power. He only has one thought at this time -
Tian Feng must be saved!
However, Jushou obviously underestimated Yuan Shao's attitude towards this matter.
Before he could get out of the queue, Yuan Shao threw a roll of bamboo slips on the table to the ground and scattered them in front of Tian Feng.
"well!"
The two words "good" were squeezed out from Yuan Shao's teeth, which made everyone in the Hebei faction feel heavy.
"Tian Yuanhao! What a Tian Yuanhao!"
Tian Feng's frankness may be just plain frankness in the eyes of his friends and colleagues, but it is not the case with Yuan Shao.
Every time he was arrogant and every time he contradicted him, Yuan Shao never regarded it as Tian Feng's personal behavior.
What he saw was the rampant Hebei faction behind Tian Feng!
If the Hebei faction had not mastered such powerful power that could overthrow him at any time, how would Tian Feng dare to straighten his back and repeatedly come to "confront" Yuan Shao?
Forget it on weekdays, for the sake of balancing the forces of the two parties and not to anger the Hebei faction, Yuan Shao chose to turn his back and let Tian Feng do whatever he wanted.
But this time, Yuan Shao really couldn't bear it anymore!
Today, Tian Feng stood up and questioned Yuan Shao. Will Li Feng stand up and question Yuan Shao tomorrow?
Change the angle,
If Tian Feng dares to question Yuan Shao today, will he be able to resist orders tomorrow?
This is an opening that no prince would open!
"Tian Feng defeats the crowd and possesses the weapon system!"
A charge of disrupting military morale was easily pinned on Tian Feng's head and he was taken to prison.
Ju Shou and other Hebei people wanted to persuade him again, but Yuan Shao's decisive voice came again: "Those who intercede for Tian Feng are guilty of the same crime!"
"Don't mention this matter again! Let him reflect on himself! Then send Ma Yan to start transporting military supplies immediately, without any mistakes!"
When everyone heard what Yuan Shao said, they also knew that things were no longer going to turn around, so they had no choice but to respond: "Here!"
————————
————————
Cao Cao didn't know what was going on in Yuan Shao's camp.
However, Yuan Shao was short of food and Cao Cao knew about such a big deal as sending Ma Yan to transport food.
As a result, Cao Cao's camp was filled with aides, who wanted to launch a military operation against this food shipment.
Xun You, Guo Jia, Jia Xu...
Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang...
Many civil servants and generals are now the absolute pillars of Cao's camp, except... He Yan who follows Cao Ren.
It stands to reason that He Yan has been demoted to the rank of Sima of another department and has no chance to sit down and watch. However, Cao Ren has treated He Yan as his personal pendant in the past few days and has to tie it up wherever he goes.
Ever since He Yan was driven to Cao Ren by Cao Cao, Cao Ren took He Yan for a walk every day, shouting with his broken gong-like voice wherever he went: "Everyone, come and see Duorou Hou!"
…
The mental torture Cao Ren had inflicted on He Yan these past few days made He Yan's eyes darken, and his outstanding appearance dropped from full score to ninety-nine.
Cao Cao naturally saw He Yan's appearance, and then he smiled happily...
Ignoring He Yan anymore, Cao Cao's mind quickly returned to the war.
"There are only a few grain roads used by Yuan Shao to transport grain. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely have the opportunity to burn some grain."
"It's just that in the past, Han Xun was the one who transported grain, but this new general, Ma Yan... have any of you heard of him?"
The styles of several generals under Yuan Shao's command have long been understood, but Ma Yan who suddenly appeared has never been heard of before and is full of mystery.
Seeing that no one knew Ma Yan, Cao Cao did not dig deeper.
"No matter who this Ma Yan is, since he can be sent by Yuan Benchu to supervise the food and grass, he must be outstanding. A general needs to be sent there. Who do you think should go?"
It is still very dangerous to go to the enemy's rear to rob food.
Not to mention, Han Xun came to Cao Cao's rear to rob food, but was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun.
The overall risk of this kind of mission is actually no lower than that of a head-on assault.
Fortunately, Cao Ying's generals were not cowards.
Strong generals such as Xu Huang and Le Jin all volunteered for military service.
Cao Cao glanced at these people, but finally set his sights on Zhang Liao.
"Wen Yuan, you will be the main general this time, Xia Houyuan and Zhao Yun will follow you."
After thinking about it, Cao Cao still felt uneasy: "Ma Yan is quite mysterious, I'm afraid he is not a good person. In this case, I will send Shi Huan and Le Jin to go with you!"
Among these people, Xia Houyuan is a kinsman and has a long-standing reputation, while Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun are both brave and fierce generals, each with brilliant achievements.
Shi Huan served as a knight when he was young, and together with Han Hao, he served as a lieutenant in Cao Cao's middle army and the commander-in-chief of all generals. He led Cao Cao's most elite and trusted soldiers, and he was one of Cao Cao's most trusted ministers.
Le Jin has a reputation for being the first to win every battle. If these people are put together, they are just like several sharp knives tied together. The power can be imagined!
It's more than that.
Cao Ren, who had been in front of He Yan, suddenly took the initiative to ask for orders: "Sikong! The last general is also willing to go to the north with General Guan to rob grain!"
He Yan:???
He looked at Cao Ren depressedly and cursed in his heart that Cao Ren was stupid.
The five men Cao Cao sent out were all generals known for their offensive skills. Why would you follow a defensive general?
What's more...
He Yan clapped his fingers: "Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xia Houyuan, Shi Huan, Le Jin."
These five people, even if Lu Bu was reborn, could beat him to death again. What should Ma Yan have to worry about?
He Yan could only pray silently in his heart that Cao Cao would not agree to Cao Ren's request!
"Since Zixiao also volunteered, then you can go too!"
He Yan:......
At this time, He Yan felt a little distressed for the general named "Ma Yan".
As soon as he debuts, he will face the joint encirclement and suppression of Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xia Houyuan, Shi Huan, Le Jin, and Cao Ren...
Isn't this guy's ancestral grave covered in smoke?
