116.Chapter 116: Very Young

Hearing Chen Xu's bandit-like remarks, the Yellow Turban soldiers all looked at each other.

However, after everyone thought about it carefully, they felt that this was the only way out for the Yellow Turban Army.

If you want to achieve great things, you will need money, food, and talents.

The Yellow Turban Army now has no territory of its own, just like a rootless Ping, how can it talk about money and food?

Therefore, if the Yellow Turban Army wants to develop and survive, it must go out to rob the powerful and the big.

As for talent, there is an extreme shortage in the Yellow Turban Army.

If the Yellow Turban Army had been able to have a few more characters like Zhang Jiao when the Yellow Turban Army had risen, it was really unknown what the Han Empire would become.

When Zhang Jiao was there, even if he was forced by Lu Zhi to retreat to Guangzong, the Yellow Turban Army did not break its muscles and bones, but was able to find an opportunity to defeat the officers and soldiers.

On the contrary, after his death, Guangzong was first breached, and almost all the Yellow Turban troops in the city were killed; Then, the Digong general in Xiaquyang was killed again.

The two defeats of the Yellow Turban Army do not mean that their combat effectiveness is not good, but rather expose their lack of outstanding talents.

If Bocai has outstanding ability to command troops, what will be the outcome of Yingchuan's battlefield?

Chen Xu stared at the Yellow Turban soldier with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Take me over to visit Mr. Tian, the Yellow Turban Army needs a talent like him." ”

The soldier struggled in his heart, gritted his teeth after all, knelt on the ground and said: "If Qu Shuai agrees to me, if Mr. Tian is offensive in his speech, Qu Shuai will not blame Mr., and the villain will take Qu Shuai over." ”

This person knew Tian Feng's temper, if he took Chen Xu to visit, he would definitely be scolded bloody. He was afraid that after his Qu Shuai was scolded, he would be angry and would kill Tian Feng.

When the time comes, won't he hurt Tian Feng?

This Yellow Turban soldier spoke like this, but Chen Xu was a little surprised. He didn't know what kind of charm Tian Feng had to make his own soldiers defend him like this.

Seeing the appearance of this soldier, Chen Xu was not angry, took his arm and helped him up, and asked, "How does Mr. Tian behave in the countryside on weekdays, why do you defend him so much?" ”

The Yellow Turban soldier was moved when he saw that his Qu Shuai did not blame himself.

He replied, "Most of us are vulgar peasants, illiterate. Usually, if a child is born in the family, it will not be named. Mr. Tian is approachable, but whenever someone comes to ask him to help choose a name, he will not refuse. ”

"If there are relatives in the family who go out and want to write to them, as long as they find Mr. Tian, he will not refuse."

"If someone in a family dies and wants to find someone to write the memorial on their behalf, Mr. Tian will also help."

Not only that, every time Mr. Tian helps someone, he always doesn't take a penny. If someone insists on thanking him, it will make Mr. Tian unhappy. ”

"Mr. Tian's own family was quite wealthy, but he always helped the poor people in his neighborhood and villages. After a long period of time, the family has also become a little strained. ”

"In this way, in the entire Julu County, there are many people who have received the favor of Mr. Tian, and no one in the county knows Mr. Tian's reputation."

When Chen Xu heard this, he was silent.

He didn't expect that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there would be an approachable celebrity like Tian Feng.

Since ancient times, although Baume & Mercier has had their own style, they are often also extremely high. Although they have compassion for others, they will not be too close to ordinary people.

After all, the scholars were the upper echelons of the entire empire. The relationship between them and the common people is like that between a rich man and a beggar.

A rich man may sympathize with a beggar and give alms, but he will never help a beggar with his heart.

But Tian Feng, in this era, is really helping ordinary people. It is precisely because of this that he can be loved by the people of Julu, and the Yellow Turban Army under Chen Xu's account can desperately defend him.

The dirt roads in the countryside are not easy to walk, especially at night. Even though the sky was full of stars, Chen Xu and the others still didn't dare to gallop fast on horseback.

As soon as everyone came to Tian Feng's village, they heard several fierce dog barks.

The sound of horses' hooves disturbed the silence of the village, and the men in the village came out with kitchen knives and sticks, looking at the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army with fear on their faces.

These people are all fellow villagers of Zhang Jiao, and many people have joined Taiping Dao.

But since Zhang Jiao raised troops to rebel, they were afraid that they would be implicated, and their lives were barely able to get by, so they quit the Taiping Sect one after another.

Everyone was even tight-lipped about the fact that they had joined the Taiping Sect, for fear that the officers and soldiers would come to find trouble.

However, now that the Yellow Turban Army suddenly appeared in front of them, everyone did not know the purpose of the Yellow Turban Army, so they were naturally afraid.

Are they here to settle accounts after the autumn, or are they here to rob?

Although the reputation of the Yellow Turban Army among the ordinary people is relatively good, the people still feel an inexplicable chill in the face of hundreds of heavily armed Yellow Turban Army who come to visit late at night.

The torches raised in the village illuminated the small half of the village. Chen Xu and the others stood on their horses and quietly looked at the panicked people in front of them.

Suddenly, a man in his twenties, wearing a scarf on his head and a sword hanging from his waist, stood out from the crowd.

This person is thin, his eyes are smart, his body is about 1.72 meters, and he is a little unsmiling.

He stood tall, glanced at Chen Xu and the others, and suddenly put his eyes on the person who introduced Tian Feng to Chen Xu.

I saw that he was furious, drew his sword, pointed at the yellow turban soldier and shouted: "You are a local villager of Julu, but you lead thieves to invade your neighbors, you are really not a son of man!" ”

When the yellow turban soldier heard this, his face was full of shame, he rolled his saddle and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and said, "My family has no intention of offending the neighbors. I just heard that Mr. Tian has a talent through heaven and earth, so he came to meet Mr. ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he was taken aback, and secretly thought in his heart: "Could it be that this young man is Tian Feng?" How could he be so young? ”

Tian Feng's image for future generations is that of a rigid, upright and wise old man. If it was before, Chen Xu had never thought that Tian Feng would be a young and beautiful man.

However, if this person was not Tian Feng, how could that Yellow Turban soldier call him 'sir'.

Tian Feng's age is not recorded in the history books, but if you analyze it carefully, it can also be seen that the current Tian Feng is not very old.

First of all, Tian Feng in history was friends with Guo Jia, and even Guo Jiacai began to defect to Yuan Shao, but he also went at the instigation of Tian Feng.

And Guo Jia is just a fourteen-year-old kid now. If the two are very different in age, how can they become friends?

Tian Feng was recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Acts of the Sages, and by combining the records of the two places, we can roughly outline Tian Feng's deeds before defecting to Yuan Shao.

Tian Feng has been smart since he was a child, and he was bereaved when he was a teenager, although the time for the funeral has passed, he still smiles without showing his teeth, so he is valued by his neighbors.

And Tian Feng is erudite and talented, very famous in Jizhou, initially by the Taiwei Mansion to conquer, recommended as Maocai, and later was elected as the imperial history, because of resentment of the eunuchs in power, virtuous ministers were killed, so he abandoned the official and returned home. Soon, he became a subordinate of Jizhou Mu Hanfu, but he was discouraged because of his integrity.

Han Fu only became the pastor of Jizhou after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, so Tian Feng served under Han Fu's account, which is likely to be 190 years, six years after the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Tian Feng was valued by his neighbors when he was a teenager, and it is very likely that he was promoted to Maocai when he was about 20 years old when his filial piety period expired.

It is speculated that from the time he became Maocai to the time he defected to Han Fu, there was not much time in between.

Therefore, the current Tian Feng is only in his twenties, which is completely reasonable.

Of course, Chen Xu didn't know about the above, so when he saw this young man, he was actually in a daze.

This man in green clothes is Tian Feng. But he didn't want to, Tian Feng was furious when he heard the words of the Yellow Turban soldier.

He scolded in his mouth: "I was promoted as a Maocai, a courtier of the Han family, and you and others are all thieves, how can I surrender my identity and fellowship with you?" ”

Wu Ling and the others are not from the Julu clan, and they have not heard of Tian Feng's reputation. They were scolded so loudly by Tian Feng that they were immediately furious.

Wu Ling raised the weapon in his hand, pointed at Tian Feng and scolded: "The thief is so bold, it is not good for you to deceive the spear in my hand?" ”

When Tian Feng heard this, he laughed, held his head high, and scolded loudly without changing his face: "If the husband dies, he will die, why be afraid?" A certain would rather die than be in the same league as a thief! ”

After listening to Tian Feng's words, Wu Ling was even more furious, and he was about to stab Tian Feng to death.

Chen Xu came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Wu Ling's reins, and then dismounted, and reprimanded loudly: "I only came here to visit Mr., how can you be so rude?" ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Xu handed the weapon in his hand to the others, saluted Tian Feng, and said: "Dongjun Chen Xu, I have heard the name of Mr. for a long time, and I have admired him for a long time, and I can't wait to see it. ”

"Passing by Julu County today, I can't help but come to visit Mr., if there is any offense to the corporal of the account, please forgive me."

When Tian Feng heard Chen Xu report his name, a strange look flashed in his eyes. But his face still showed a look of disdain.

The Yellow Turban soldiers saw that their own Qu Shuai was so low-voiced, this person still had such a face, and everyone glared at Tian Feng angrily. Even the Yellow Turban Army in the local area of Julu did not look good.

Chen Xu didn't care about Tian Feng's attitude towards him at all, he reprimanded the Yellow Turban soldiers behind him: "Although we were slandered as thieves by the officers and soldiers, we never disturbed the people. If you are acting like this now, won't you smear the face of the Yellow Turban Army? ”

"Why don't you get off your horse quickly and camp outside the village first? After I finished talking with my husband, we returned to the camp together. ”

Qu Shuai's order, which everyone listened to, although he was unwilling, did not dare to disobey it. But they were worried about Chen Xu's safety, so they left the Yellow Turban Army of those giant deer.

Chen Xu saw that these Yellow Turban soldiers refused to leave, and they were locals, staying in the village would not make the people panic too much, so he reluctantly left them behind.

"I am the son-in-law of the great virtuous teacher, the current commander of the Yellow Turban Army, passing by here, if there is a place to disturb your fellow villagers, please forgive me!"

After speaking, Chen Xu saluted everyone in the village.
