"Yuan Hao, please don't criticize others too harshly." After being rejected, Gongsun Xun, who also had a tall hat and straight skirts, flipped his sleeves and sat back calmly on the chairman's chair. He still didn't take it seriously, as if he was personable. "It's a very important matter, Qian Tou.

Wan Xu, there are too many things to consider, so he hesitates..."

"It's just words of evasion!" Tian Feng spread his hands and sneered. "I really have to make a decision. It's just one word. The delay is just that some people are neglecting public affairs for personal reasons!"

"Sir, what you said may not be appropriate!" The first one who couldn't help but stood up angrily was an acquaintance, none other than Ju Zong, a famous family in Wei County.

He refused to be offered the seal and ribbon of a general of chariots and cavalry, but instead immediately united with the heroes of the North and launched a voluntary army... If even this kind of behavior can be regarded as abolition of official duties for selfish reasons, then what is public-spirited? No one in the world dares to say that he has no selfish motives.

, but such things as neglecting official duties due to selfish motives will not be blamed on our princes."

"The term "abolishing the official position for personal reasons" does not refer to your family, but to many famous Confucian and wise men like you, Duke Ju." Tian Feng pointed his finger at Ju Zong, without showing any mercy.

"If it weren't for your own selfish interests, how could you have allowed the matter to be delayed until now? For example, Mr. Ju, although I haven't heard your advice, I can guess that you must want your family to

The prince will lead his troops south to attack Wei County...is that right?"

Juzong's face turned red, but he said angrily: "So what, Zhao Guo is in control of Anping. If we can capture Wei County, we can unify the affairs of Jizhou and go out of Hanoi to attack Luoyang..."

"I'm just asking you, why did General Wei attack Wei County? Although Han Fu and Han Wenjie are cowardly, aren't they the allies of Dong Dong?" Tian Feng asked with a dark face.

"What you are saying is pedantic." Juzong tried his best to reply. "Han Wenjie did not come to make an alliance with my king, as if he has a different heart. If he does not take Wei Commandery and directly crosses the border to ask for Dong, wouldn't it mean that the lifeblood of the logistics will be lost?"

Giving it to others... is a last resort."

"That's it." Tian Feng clasped his hands and walked forward to Juzong's table and smiled. "Then let me ask you, Gongyi, how do you plan to attack Wei County? How long do you plan to spend to attack Wei County?

You are a native of Wei County. Don't you know that Yecheng in Wei County is a fortified city in the world? Don't you know that Wei County's population, wealth, abundant grain and grass, and the advantage of its soldiers and armors are all unparalleled in Hebei? Moreover, with

After Yuan Shao formed an alliance, didn't Han Fu still have more than a dozen princes behind him to support him? There are also Hejian and Qinghe counties. Since the two counties did not come to Changshan for an alliance, but instead followed Han Fu's documents, then they will

Wouldn’t you listen to Han Wenjie’s call to come to the rescue? Once the battle started, your ruler would lead the Hebei Allied Forces with more than 100,000 troops, and Yuan Benchu ​​would lead the Kwantung Allied Forces with more than 100,000 troops... Ha, I won’t tell you whether your hometown Wei County will.

After being beaten to a pulp, I only ask you, what should Dong Zhuo do? Who will bear the charge of abandoning the attack on Dong Zhuo?"

Juzong's face turned red, but he was speechless.

Seeing this situation, everyone looked at Gongsun Xun who was sitting on the chairman's chair, but the latter just smiled slightly and started pouring his own drink, as if he had no intention of interrupting.

At this moment, everyone present understood that they were going to allow everyone to openly debate Tian Yuanhao, so many people were eager to give it a try.

"Brother Yuan Hao is a bit sensational." There was a man who took the lead and took the initiative to rescue Ju Zong. "My prince has been in Hebei for ten years, and he has a lot of great power here. Even Wei County has old officials, so generals,

If done properly, it may not be impossible to easily win with a backhand... As for Han Jizhou, he can be asked to go to Qinghe first, and Hejian can continue to organize discussions about the directorship. When the overall situation of the previous discussion with the director is completed, he can even be allowed to continue to perform his duties.

Come to think of it, Yuan Benchu ​​has nothing to say, right?!"

"Isn't this the nephew of the old Duke Guo? Isn't it good news for my old friend in Ju's house that day?" Tian Feng let Ju Zong go and turned his hand to give this person a slight salute.

"I don't dare to treat you as a courtesy to Brother Yuan Hao." Jing Youxi held his head high and raised his hands. "Please ask Brother Yuan Hao to criticize me."

It is said that he has been in Changping for several years. He first taught and then participated in politics. He has gained a lot of experience, so his words cannot help but have some confidence.

"Your words are not worth refuting." Tian Feng clasped his hands and shook his head with a sigh. "If Mr. Guo were alive, he would definitely be worried because of Jing Youxi's naivety, right?"

Jingze held it in for a moment, but he quickly handed it over and said, "Brother Yuan Hao, please speak out!"

"I just want to ask Mr. Jing." Tian Feng stared at the other person and asked. "When you said this, did you have the topography of Jizhou in your mind? Do you know how many cities and rivers there are in the nine counties of Jizhou?

, and where are they? How many people are there near each city? What are the customs of each place?"

Jingze was speechless for a moment.

"I don't know the rivers of Jizhou clearly, and it's hard to say about its customs and population, but I probably know how many cities there are in the nine counties." At this moment, someone behind Tian Feng suddenly stood up slowly, and it was the new Guangyang Prefect.

Du Ji and Du Bohou. "If my memory is correct, Jizhou's nine counties have a total of ninety-nine counties. According to the system, each county has one city. If you include the ancient city Xiaoyi without a county, there are about one hundred and two counties.

Ten Cities…I wonder if what I’m saying is right?”

Tian Feng turned around and was stunned for a moment.

Gongsun Xun, who was at the head, held up his palms and smiled.

However, Tian Feng reacted quickly, then turned to Du Ji and saluted seriously: "I haven't seen you for many years. It's unbelievable that when Wei Jun said goodbye in a hurry, he didn't recognize a truly capable person!"

"I don't dare to take it seriously." Du Ji said confidently. "Brother Yuan Hao, if you have any other questions, you might as well ask them as well."

"Then let me ask Bohou again, how many cities, checkpoints and fortresses are there in Youji Qingbin, the so-called four states of Hebei?" Tian Feng came back to his senses, turned around and came to Du Ji to continue asking.

"There are eighty-eight counties in Youzhou, ninety-nine counties in Jizhou, sixty-five counties in Qingzhou, and eighty counties in Bingzhou. Among them, Youzhou has many border fortresses, Jizhou has many ancient cities and small towns, Qingzhou has many mountainous fortresses, and Bingzhou has all three.

No one knows the cumulative total, but there should be no less than four hundred places where troops and horses can be stationed to defend..." Du Ji still stood tall and picked it up casually. "What does Brother Tian mean?"

"No one else," Tian Feng tied up his hands and sighed quietly. "Just now Jing Youxi said that your monarch has been in office in Hebei for more than ten years, and there is so much power and virtue here... So I want to know how many of these more than 400 cities are there.

Thousands of villages and pavilions, with a population of tens of millions, how many cities, villages and people did your monarch bring great virtue to? I was ignorant and did not know that Bohou was so intelligent that he was actually a first-class capable official. In this case,

Can you answer this question for me?"

Du Ji lost his voice and couldn't respond.

"Furthermore, I have another question." Tian Feng turned around and asked solemnly towards the crowd. "Since General Wei has been an official for ten years and can add great power to Hebei, how dare I ask if the Han Dynasty has four hundred people in Hebei?"

If it lasts for years, how much more mighty virtue will it add to Hebei?"

Everyone in the audience was speechless, even Gongsun Xun had no expression on his face, neither happy nor angry.

"What I said is actually just a sentence... Dare I ask who owns the world in today's domain?!"

Tian Feng shouted angrily, and everyone in the audience changed their expressions, but no one could answer.

"I don't understand. You guys are obviously talented people, but why do you treat a county, a state, and even the whole world like such a trifle?" In the silence, Tian Feng continued to look at him angrily. "Sit here.

You are gesticulating, as if you can carve out a county or a state by just drawing on a map! Don't you know that the mighty virtue of your monarch has been exhausted in this Changshan meeting? This time the meeting will not come

Don’t take chances anymore. In the future, we can only conquer the counties one city at a time!"

"What did Jingjun say about the old troops of Wei County?" Tian Fengfu pointed his finger at Jingze again, showing no mercy. "The pretense is actually Zhang Jaw and his more than a thousand people stationed in Wucheng to the west of Yecheng.

? Counting on more than a thousand people to take over one county, fifteen counties and twenty-three cities, what do you think of military? Do you really think that Wei County has no men, generals, and talented people? If a mere thousand people in Zhang Jia really dare to make any changes, they can only

Just waiting to die in Wucheng! And besides, does Zhang Junyi owe you a prince? His thousand-stone Sima was obtained by his hard work in Hutuo River. If you force people to die, you will only make them betray their morality!

"

"Even in the territory you drew through the alliance this time, you are not completely able to use your hands and fingers, right?" Tian Feng sighed and continued to shake his head. "Not to mention those people like Wang Zewang, the prefect,

Do you care more about the Han Dynasty or your monarch? Just go deep into the villages and pavilions. How many villages and pavilions in these more than ten counties recognize the power and virtue of your monarch? They are all subjects of the Han Dynasty. They

The reason I obey your lord is because your lord is an important official of the Han Dynasty... In a word, how arrogant and rude are you?!"

Having said this, Tian Feng turned to Gongsun Xun and gave him a rare serious salute: "General Wei, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart today."

"Yuan Hao, please speak." Gongsun Xun responded solemnly.

"First, the Han Dynasty cannot be revived, but the Han Dynasty cannot die suddenly!" Tian Feng stood up and raised his voice.

"That's a very correct statement." Regardless of the heavy breathing of those around him, Gongsun Xun responded calmly. "With just this statement, my ten years of waiting for Yuan Hao are not in vain."

"Secondly, generals are powerful, but generals are not enough to conquer the world quickly." Tian Feng was still confident.

"Yuan Hao, please take a seat!" Gongsun Xun sighed.

"Wait until I finish." Tian Feng shook his head. "Thirdly, the general's top priority should be to get Dong into Luo and support the emperor, rather than attacking indiscriminately and losing people's hearts... Otherwise, Dong Zhuo will be a precedent

.As the saying goes, if you don't challenge Dong, how can you be a knowledgeable person in the world? If you don't support the Han Dynasty, how can you order the subjects of the county and country?!"

"Your Majesty!" Xi Zhicai suddenly came out and bowed his head to face each other. "I think what Tian Yuanhao said is actually good advice."

Everyone didn't take it seriously, because Xi Zhong's suggestion all along was to attack Dong first, so they all looked at Gongsun Xun.

"Everything in the world is based on people." Gongsun Xun nodded slowly after hearing this. "In fact, I deeply agree with what Yuan Hao said... But thousands of miles apart, it is true that Yuan Benchu ​​formed another alliance to guard against me while blocking traffic. Yuan Hao has

Any good strategy?"

"You can go to Bingzhou!" Tian Feng came prepared. "Go to Dai County, enter Yanmen, leave Taiyuan, and live in Dang. Then depending on the situation, you can either enter Hanoi and break into Luoyang, or enter Hedong and enter the Pass to interrupt Dong Zhuo's back...

"

"This is a big fallacy!" Someone said again, but it was Lu Fan.

Seeing this person objecting, everyone present was shocked.

"What's wrong?" Tian Feng still refused.

"The road to Bingzhou is long!" Lu Ziheng stood up and said seriously. "And the road is rugged."

"In this case, logistics will also be difficult." The person who echoed Lu Fan was Wang Xiu and Wang Shuzhi, who had not expressed their stance on this issue for more than ten days. "What Lu Changshi said was that the road to annexing the state was difficult. In fact, it was not only difficult to march, but also difficult to supply.

It’s difficult.”

"What both of you said is true." Tian Feng seemed confident. "The logistics of the march are indeed difficult and the road is long, but have you ever thought about it? In addition to being unexpected, there are two huge benefits to going to Bingzhou..."

"What's the benefit?" Lu Fan chased after him.

"First, Bingzhou is now in chaos and without an owner. The former governor Ding Yuan has died, and the imperial minister appointed Bingzhou as pastor is Dong Zhuo. Moreover, Zhang Yang has now recruited troops and returned to the south of Shangdang County, claiming to be the governor to fight against Dong. Bai Bo has also bandited out of Xihe to harass

Hedong, the two blocked traffic, making it impossible for Dong Zhuo to appoint officials..." Tian Feng talked eloquently. "In other words, until Shangdang, General Wei had no real enemy in front of him, and no one criticized him for annexing the state, and nothing else.

Do you really look down on the three counties of Yanmen, Taiyuan, and Shangdang? These are the three core counties of Jin! Not to mention that there is Hedong behind, and there is also the Qinchuan foundation of Guanzhong, which is 800 miles away."

Lu Fan and Wang Xiu looked at each other and responded in tacit silence.

"Second," Tian Feng continued. "Hebei, no matter how it is dealt with, no matter where it starts, there is one place and one thing that cannot be avoided, and that is the Qianli Taihang Mountains...
To be continued...
