117.Chapter 117: Conversation

Eventually, the people put away their weapons.

They knew that in the face of the 500 heavily armed Yellow Turban Army, if they resisted, they would undoubtedly bring death to themselves.

And many of them have joined the Taiping Sect before, and from the bottom of their hearts, they have a sense of affection for these Yellow Turban Army.

"Ling'er married you?"

But he didn't want to, after Tian Feng heard Chen Xu say that he was Zhang Jiao's son-in-law, he suddenly asked out loud.

Regarding Tian Feng's reaction, Chen Xu was a little inexplicable: "Could it be that Tian Feng has a crush on Ling'er?" ”

Although he was gossiping in his heart, Chen Xu replied: "That's right." ”

Hearing this, Tian Feng stroked his sparse beard, looked at Chen Xu carefully, and then said: "I once became a good friend with a great sage and good teacher, although after he became a thief, I have nothing to do with him. ”

"But after all, Ling'er used to call me Uncle Shi, and I thought that her family would marry her to an ordinary person and let her live a quiet life. But I didn't want to, after all, I married her to you, a thief. ”

When Chen Xu heard Tian Feng call himself a thief, his face did not change in the slightest, but the faces of the rest of the people moved slightly.

Those local Yellow Turban soldiers who stayed in the village, although they admired Tian Feng, but when they heard him call him a 'thief', they were also a little dissatisfied on their faces.

As for the rest of the people, they were also afraid that Tian Feng would anger the leader of the Yellow Turban Army and bring disaster to the village, and they also frequently glanced at Tian Feng.

When Tian Feng was talking, he secretly looked at Chen Xu with his eyes, and saw that he had no angry look from beginning to end, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart.

Tian Feng, as a top strategist in the Three Kingdoms period, how could he be the kind of person who didn't know how to advance or retreat?

The reason why he kept angering Chen Xu was because he had heard of Chen Xu's reputation, and it was expected that Chen Xu would not anger everyone for this.

But what he didn't expect was that in the face of his constant verbal offense, Chen Xu didn't mean to be angry at all. In this way, he couldn't help but look up to Chen Xu.

In fact, Chen Xu came from later generations, and he had already heard of Tian Feng's reputation and knew that he was straightforward.

Tian Feng in history was depressed and unwilling because of this, and finally ended up in a different place. Every time Chen Xu read this, he always sighed, and scolded Yuan Shao in his heart for not being tolerant.

When he heard Tian Feng's words, he naturally didn't feel too good in his heart. But he felt that if he wanted to achieve great things, he must first learn that joy and anger are invisible.

In addition, those who achieve great things should have a broad mind and not act recklessly with their own joys and angers.

Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou that year, but he didn't want to make many scholars in Yanzhou betray Cao Cao because he had killed the famous scholar Bian Rang, and finally welcomed Lu Bu into Puyang.

At that time, there was a person named Wei Zhong, and Cao Cao used to treat him very well.

When Cao Cao heard that LΓΌ Bu had captured Yanzhou, he said to the rest of the people, "Others may betray me, but Wei Zhong will never do it." ”

What he didn't expect was that Wei Zhong later betrayed himself as well. Cao Cao was very angry when he heard the news, but when he was captured by Wei Zhong, not only did he not kill him, but still treated him very kindly.

Cao Cao's actions have bought the hearts of many people, and they will think like this: "Cao Gong can even be so respectful of people who have betrayed him, not to mention that we are loyal to Cao Gong?" ”

Since then, many of his generals have been dead set on him.

In the Battle of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu first surrendered to Cao Cao, and later rebelled, killing Cao Cao's son Cao Ang, and his most beloved nephew Cao Anmin. Even Cao Cao's general, Dian Wei, died in battle to protect Cao Cao.

However, when Zhang Xiu later surrendered to Cao Cao again, Cao Cao not only did not blame him in the slightest, but took Zhang Xiu's hand and attended the banquet together, and let his son Cao Jun marry Zhang Xiu's daughter, and named Zhang Xiu as a general of Yangwu.

His son, nephew, and generals were all killed by Zhang Xiu, and even Cao Cao himself was almost in a different place, would he not hate Zhang Xiu?

Definitely hate! But Cao Cao's ability to achieve great things is that he has a mind and bearing that ordinary people do not have.

Although Chen Xu is not as good as Cao Cao, he has become more and more calm as he experiences more and more things.

After hearing Zhang Ling call Uncle Tian Fengshi, Chen Xu was a little stunned. Then, he hurriedly saluted Tian Feng and shouted, "I've seen Uncle Shi." ”

Hearing Chen Xu call himself 'Uncle Shi', Tian Feng stared at Chen Xu with a smile.

Although Chen Xu was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Tian Feng, his face still did not change, and his mouth was full of words: "I am Ling'er's lover, and Mr. is both Ling'er's uncle and Xu's uncle." ”

Chen Xu knew that it was very difficult to get Tian Feng to defect to the Yellow Turban Army. Even if he kidnaps Tian Feng, according to Tian Feng's character, he may not necessarily surrender.

In order to be able to get closer to Tian Feng, Chen Xu also became cheeky and shouted 'Uncle Shi' to this person who was only a few years older than him.

At this time, even Chen Xu himself was surprised. He didn't expect that inadvertently, his skin had become so thick.

Now that Chen Xu has given Tian Feng a junior gift, Tian Feng can't continue to hold it any longer.

In the final analysis, he and Zhang Jiao were friends for a long time, although after Zhang Jiao pulled the flag and rebelled, he broke off relations with Zhang Jiao.

However, he has always paid close attention to the movements of the Yellow Turban Army. When he heard the news of Zhang Jiao's death, he sighed at the night sky, and then had no sleep all night.

At that time, he had already concluded that the day of defeat of the Yellow Turban Army was not far off.

What he didn't expect was that the Yellow Turban Army would kill a Chen Xu in the air, and he repeatedly fought with officers and soldiers but did not fall behind.

For this reason, he also deliberately collected a lot of information about Chen Xu.

When he saw that Chen Xu had studied the art of war and strategy under the Qiaoxuanmen, and had served as the leader of the Puyang Volunteer Army before, after the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, his mood was even more difficult to calm down for a long time.

Such a talent was forced into the camp of the Yellow Turban Army by the Ten Standing Attendants. If the Han continues like this, can he really be saved?

Chen Xu was invited to his home by Tian Feng, and Tian Feng stayed in Julu County, although he inquired about the deeds of the Yellow Turban Army through various aspects. However, compared with Chen Xu, who has really experienced these things, the news he got is still a bit one-sided.

Tian Feng is talented in poetry and books, and he has great ambitions, and he always pays attention to the trends of the world.

After seeing Chen Xu today, I couldn't help but ask him about the details of the battle between the Yellow Turban Army and the officers and soldiers.

Tian Feng asked, Chen Xu didn't postpone it, and told him what he had experienced. He neither exaggerated the facts, nor deliberately disguised his role in several wars.

I have to say that Tian Feng is a very good listener, and he never interrupts Chen Xu's speech.

Even if he had some doubts in his heart, he would ask when Chen Xu paused.

The two sat on their knees in the room, talking by candlelight.

A disc was placed on the table, filled with vegetable oil.

In the middle of the disc, there is a candle soaked in animal fat. After burning for a long time, there are many small round red hearts in the candle, and the fire is not as bright as before.

Tian Feng picked up a small wooden stick and dialed the candle twice, those little red hearts fell down, and the dim light brightened again.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, although there were already candles, the range of candles was not wide, and only a very small number of nobles could use them.

Not only that, but even ordinary oil lamps cannot be used by ordinary people at home.

Kerosene lamps were introduced to China from foreign countries in the late Qing Dynasty, and vegetable oil was used in oil lamps in the Han Dynasty. Ordinary people are reluctant to put oil even when they eat, so how can they use oil lamps?

Therefore, after every night, many homes are dark, and they go to bed early.

After Tian Feng finished fiddling with the wick, he smelled the smell of the burning oil lamp and wrinkled his nose. At this time, Chen Xu's speech was also nearing the end.

He heard Chen Xu say that after preparing to rescue the Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang, he led them to hide in the mountains and wait for the world to change greatly.

After a while, Tian Feng stared at Chen Xu with burning eyes and asked, "Are you so sure that the world will be in chaos?" ”

Hearing Tian Feng's questioning, Chen Xu was a little speechless. He knows from history that this world will be in chaos, but how to tell Tian Feng?

After all, although today's Han is decaying, it still has hundreds of years of prestige. Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion seems to be huge, it is only an itch of scabies, and it is only a matter of time before it is eliminated by the Han Dynasty.

After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Xu said: "Those who mess with the world are not my Yellow Turban Army, but the family of the Han Dynasty. ”

Suddenly hearing Chen Xu's words, Tian Feng's body stiffened, but his subtle action was seen by Chen Xu.

Chen Xu was secretly happy in his heart, and continued: "Although the Yellow Turban is not a cause for concern, in the process of suppressing this uprising, the local forces of various prefectures and counties in the Han Dynasty have been greatly strengthened. ”

"Whether they really recruited volunteers to suppress the Yellow Turbans, or they took the opportunity to expand their power in order to fish in troubled waters."

"When the Yellow Turban is wiped out, the entire Han Empire will inevitably form a situation where the lord is weak and the minister is strong."

The more Chen Xu thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and he said loudly: "For a long time, the ten permanent servants and relatives have taken turns to dictate power, and the interests of scholars and doctors have suffered a huge blow, how can they have no complaints in their hearts? ”

"Once the situation in the DPRK and China changes, careerists in various places will definitely take advantage of the situation. At that time, the entire Han Dynasty will be a real beacon everywhere. ”

Tian Feng listened to Chen Xu's words quietly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

As the top strategist of the Three Kingdoms, and even more famous for his precise strategic vision, how could he not see this?

Dahan, it's really going to change!

The contradictions between the common people and the powerful, the contradictions between the scholars, relatives and eunuchs, have almost reached the point of irreconcilability. It can be said that everyone wants to bring down the other and take sole power.

What is lacking now is nothing more than an introduction. As long as one Mars appears, it will inevitably trigger this intricate contradiction.

Shaking his head, Tian Feng did not refute Chen Xu's words, but just said lightly: "Do you think that with the strength of the Yellow Turban Army, you can take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the troubled times?" ”

Hearing this, the smile on Chen Xu's face froze.
