Chapter 58: Cao Cao has become a pawn
"Tian Feng, why are you frowning? Do you think what I said is wrong? ”
Guo Tu turned his head and saw Tian Feng's expression, and immediately questioned angrily.
Although the four of them were all advisors under Yuan Shao, they all had selfish intentions for each other.
Tian Feng has followed Yuan Shao for the longest time, and since the beginning of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, he has been giving advice to Yuan Shao, as if he has the posture of becoming the chief strategist, but it is a pity that Tian Feng is too upright, and he never leaves a show of mercy when he speaks and acts, and even contradicts Yuan Shao several times, which makes Yuan Shao quite unhappy.
If it weren't for Tian Feng's hard work, Yuan Shao would sometimes want to order Tian Feng to be beheaded.
Fu Zhu and Xu You followed Yuan Shao for about the same time, although the two were not as good as Tian Feng, but they were very different from each other, especially seeing that Tian Feng was not appreciated by Yuan Shao, the two of them were even more riveted and wanted to compete to be the chief strategist.
Among the four, Guo Tu is the shortest time to follow Yuan Shao and has the least qualifications, so in order to reflect his sense of existence in front of Yuan Shao, Guo Tu will always be the first to stand up and express his opinions whenever he has something to discuss, and he is known for being radical.
At this time, seeing that Tian Feng didn't seem to agree with his proposal, Guo Tu seemed to have found a flashpoint, and he must find Tian Feng to discuss it clearly, so as to show his loyalty to the lord.
"It's not wrong, what Brother Guo said is only half right." Tian Feng glanced at Guo Tu, his face did not change, and he said slowly.
"Then I want to see which half is right, and what are your Tian Feng's opinions!"
Guo Tu's face turned pale, and he was angry-for-tat.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao did not stop him, but continued to feed the fish and let them argue.
Although he was not optimistic about Cao Cao in his heart, he did not make up his mind about attacking Cao Cao after all, and he also wanted to see what the current situation was through the arguments between the strategists.
"If the lord takes the initiative to attack Cao Cao, the chance of winning is at least seventy percent......"
"Hmph, I've already said this, and I need you to say more!"
As soon as Tian Feng's words came out, he was interrupted by Guo Tu's cold snort.
"But ......" Tian Feng did not get angry, but glanced at Guo Tu, with a hint of sneer in his eyes, as if he was laughing at Guo Tu's short-sightedness.
"If it was a month ago, I would have urged the lord to attack Cao Cao, but at this time, it is not a good time."
Tian Feng shook his head as he spoke.
"Brother Tian Feng, should you have become Cao Cao's lobbyist, deliberately interceding for Cao Cao in front of the lord?"
Xu You looked at Tian Feng with a smile and deliberately arched the fire.
The four strategists are dissatisfied with each other, and if they can bring down Tian Feng, it will undoubtedly be the most beneficial to Xu Yu and Fu Zhi.
Therefore, Fu Zhi also followed suit, "What is the difference between attacking a month ago and attacking now?" On the contrary, Cao Cao's foundation was solid a month ago, and there was no situation like today, and the attack at this time is obviously more likely to win than a month ago. ”
Yuan Shao also turned his head and glanced at Tian Feng in the interval between feeding the fish.
Could it be that Cao Cao was really weak-hearted, and deliberately bought Tian Feng secretly, intending to delay the opportunity for him to move his troops south?
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever thought that Cao Cao has the territory of the three states of Qingyan and Henan, and his foundation has always been stable, why did he suddenly appear so flustered?"
Tian Feng saw that the other three strategists were working together against him, so he did not back down, but held his head high, and reminded everyone in a calm and calm tone.
"That's because he Cao Cao deliberately trapped the Son of Heaven in Xudu, intending to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but unexpectedly he lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot, and the emperor disturbed the foundation of his backyard, and his strength was greatly damaged."
Guo Tu replied coldly.
"Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to control the government, the Han royal family has gone through Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Guo Yan and Li Dao's rebellion, and then Cao Cao welcomed him into Xu Capital, named the Son of Heaven, but in fact, he has long been a puppet, it is such a puppet, why can he suddenly stir up Cao Cao's chaos?"
Tian Feng said, his eyes faintly swept over the faces of the other three strategists, with a questioning meaning.
"This ......" Guo Tu was stunned for a moment, he had never thought about this question.
Fu Zhu and Xu Yu also looked the same, obviously stopped by Tian Feng's question.
Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, although he didn't move on the surface, but he had already thought of something in his heart, and he fell into contemplation for a while, and he didn't have the heart to feed the fish.
"Lu Wenhou was broken in Picheng, lost Xuzhou, and then went north to join the lord, have you ever thought about it, who is Lu Wenhou, it can be said that he is brave and invincible in the world, but he almost fell to Pi, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back, the enemy is such a fierce general, it was actually sent by the emperor, can anyone tell me, why does the emperor suddenly have such a fierce general?"
The more Tian Feng spoke, the louder his voice became, and he directly asked Guo Tu and other strategists.
Lu Bu fled from Xuzhou to Yuan Shao, and naturally told Yuan Shao in detail about the breach of Xiapi City, but Yuan Shao was preparing for a decisive battle with Cao Cao, and he didn't think much about it, only Tian Feng secretly paid attention to it after hearing it, and had been pondering about it.
"I heard that the emperor was assassinated this time, although a dry assassin has approached the emperor, but he has not been able to hurt the emperor in the slightest, in addition to the emperor's own great fortune, the two masters around him are definitely not to be underestimated."
"In short, I think that Cao Cao is no longer the target of the lord's consideration of conquest, but should pay more attention to the emperor's movements and intentions, and even the lord can keep Cao Cao's chess piece, so that he and the emperor have a few more rounds to explore the emperor's details."
"If you rashly attack Cao Cao, even if you take Cao Cao's territory, I am afraid that the lord will follow in Cao Cao's footsteps."
"Tian Feng, you are bold!"
As soon as Tian Feng's words fell, Guo Tu immediately shouted angrily, "You dare to curse the lord and compare him with Cao Thief, what kind of crime should you be guilty of!" ”
Tian Feng's previous words were actually very reasonable, and both Fu Zhu and Xu You nodded secretly in their hearts when they heard it, but the last sentence inevitably had a sense of disrespect to the lord, which made Guo Tu grasp the handle.
If the lord is really angry, I'm afraid Tian Feng will be worried.
But this has nothing to do with the two of them, they even wish that Guo Tu and Tian Feng would pinch each other, so as to bring down Tian Feng, anyway, there is no loss for them.
When Yuan Shao heard the last sentence, a black gas did flash in his eyes, but it flashed and did not show anything.
"Hehe, Tian Feng, Tian Feng, if you want me to say, the three of them together are not as far-reaching as you see, come, this plate of fish food is rewarded for you, accompany General Ben to feed the fish."
Yuan Shao smiled quietly and pushed a small dish towards Tian Feng.
Guo Tu, Fu Zhu and Xu You, hearing Yuan Shao praise Tian Feng like this, their eyes flashed with unwillingness, and they glanced at each other, not hiding the jealousy in their eyes at all.
