Tian Feng''s old face showed a trace of satisfaction:


    "Stalemate, stalemate good."


    Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "what Duke Tian said is very true."


    Tian Feng turned his face, looked at Bai Xiaowen and said, "the second childe can understand what I mean?"


    Between the tone, there seems to be a trace of disbelief.


    Bai Xiao knew that the original Yuan Xi did not have a high evaluation in the hearts of Hebei civil servants and military generals.


    One of the reasons why Yuan Shao did not value his second son was that Yuan Xi''s ability was mediocre.


    Therefore, to persuade Tian Feng, you have to show your extraordinary vision, and you can''t show off too eagerly. The position of ancient China is different from that of ancient Europe. The cultural background of Laozhuang Confucianism pays attention to implication. Even if some people have some knowledge and show off too much, they will only be despised by people of insight.


    This is also the reason why many crooked nuts are not mixed well in the ancient Chinese background. The advance and retreat methods need to be carefully mastered.


    Bai Xiaowen held his nephew''s gift and said respectfully, "I can''t know all the profound meaning of Duke Tian. I can only say a little bit of my humble opinion in my chest. I hope Duke Tian doesn''t blame me for the mistakes and omissions."


    Tian Feng was calm on the surface, but there had been a ripple in his heart. It seemed that the second childe yuan had never been so respectful to his family officials and advisers.


    But this wave did not splash. Tian Feng has seen many people. This kind of courtesy is not enough to make him pay attention to it.


    At the beginning, Yuan Shao initially decided to drive Jizhou. He was also mean and generous. He hired him to drive for others. How about now?


    "Second childe, try it." Tian Feng coughed and said.


    Bai Xiaowen nodded: "the two armies are not fighting for a temporary victory or defeat. We must look at the overall situation."


    "The four prefectures of Hebei have been recuperating for a long time. They have plenty of food and grass, and have a large number of generals. Cao Cao fought against Lu Bu and Liu Bei year after year, and now he is fighting with our army. The disadvantages of food and grass shortage can be predicted. However, our army has different numbers and orders, is not familiar with the battle array, and its sharpness is not as good as Cao Jun, who has been fighting for years. Based on these two points, Cao Cao Cao is fighting quickly, and our army is expensive to consume. Now Guandu is deadlocked The war situation is obviously in the interests of our army. "


    Yuan Shao has a large army, but few elite troops have experienced the test of the war, which is not as good as Cao Jun.


    If measured by combat effectiveness data, the average combat effectiveness of Yuan Shao''s soldiers may be only five or six points, while Cao Jun has more than eight points.


    In terms of the actual number of troops on both sides, the combat effectiveness of Yuan Shao''s 300000 troops (actual number) is about 1.5 million, while that of Cao Jun is about 8.9 million.


    Of course, the actual fighting does not depend on the combat effectiveness on paper. The war situation is changing rapidly. Many factors such as the ability of the commander and the bravery of the general will affect the outcome.


    Moreover, when there is little difference in combat effectiveness, elite soldiers can give full play to their advantages - after all, wars are fought one by one. In the same battlefield, the number of troops that can be invested is limited, and Yuan Shao''s huge and bloated troops are difficult to make full use of their strength.


    However, Yuan Shao prepared sufficient food and grass, and there was no pressure for the army to withdraw for months. Cao Cao''s military food is dangerous for a month - the Cao army in the romance was almost out of food when Xu you came to vote; The Cao''s group in the Three Kingdoms of the spiritual world has similar situation and romance, and naturally has disadvantages in terms of food and grass.


    Tian Feng listened, nodded and said, "the second childe is right. Cao''s army has been victorious in successive battles and the army is full of soldiers. It is for this reason that I strongly advised the Lord not to fight a decisive battle with Cao''s army, but to adopt the strategy of slowly moving forward and exerting pressure. If the Lord can use my words, Cao will be exhausted within three years and our army will win without war."


    After a pause, Tian Feng stood up and continued, "but now Guandu is in a stalemate, which coincides with my advice. If this stalemate continues, Cao Cao will surely retreat and give way to the gate of Henan in a few months! At that time, our troops will point directly at important places such as Qiao and Xu, just like a sharp blade at Cao Cao''s heart. It will be difficult to sleep day and night and be invincible? This is the general trend of the world. I''m here to congratulate you!"


    Tian Feng bowed in the direction of Guandu camp.


    Bai Xiaowen secretly lamented the loyalty of the old counselor, and there was no depression of being deposed on his face. Yuan Shao''s weakness in employment can be seen.


    "Tian Gong''s words are true." Bai Xiaowen agreed and wished Yuan Shao an early success with Tian Feng.


    After the ceremony, Tian Feng stroked his beard and said, "you must have important business here. I don''t know what you want to find me, the sinner?"


    Unconsciously, Tian Feng''s perception of "Yuan Xi" has changed: [I haven''t found that the second childe has such an eye before. It''s a pity that he is not the eldest son...]


    Tian Feng''s thought flashed by, and there was no expression on his face.


    Here comes the subject.


    Bai Xiao and Wen Zhengrong said, "I''m here also for business. Please help me!" he bowed to the ground.


    Tian Feng just sat down and quickly stood up: "I don''t dare to be a big gift for you. Please tell me clearly that if you are an old man, you won''t refuse."


    Bai Xiaowen sighed. What I asked for is not your job.


    "Nowadays, there are fierce soldiers in the Guandu. The stalemate between the two is really good for our army. However, with the deceit of Cao Cao and the wisdom of his advisers such as Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, how can they be willing to sit and wait for death? Please think carefully, Duke Tian."


    In the romance, Xi Zhi died early, but in the Three Kingdoms of the spirit world, he still lives in good health, which is not good news.


    Tian Feng frowned and fell silent. He walked twice in the cell and said:


    "I''ve always heard the name of Yingchuan''s talented people. Since I can see the general trend of the dispute, I must be aware of Xun Yu and others."


    Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "yes, in the boy''s view, Cao Jun will not be willing to stand in a stalemate, and will surely make a strange plan to win. Moreover, there is another difficulty."


    Tian Fengqi said, "what is hard to say?"


    Bai Xiaowen took a breath and said, "my father didn''t adopt Tian Gong''s advice on protracted war and consumption war, but wanted to finish his work in the first battle. So did the counselors who followed him, such as Guo Tu Fengji and others. Now the stalemate in Guandu just coincided with Tian Gong''s advice, not my father''s original intention."


    Looking at Tian Feng''s frown, Bai Xiaowen continued, "I''m afraid my father''s heart, like Cao Cao, wants a quick decision. If my father holds this mentality, he will be taken advantage of by Cao Jun."


    Tian Feng said, "if you have a military adviser, you will advise the Lord."


    Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Duke Tian should know more about his father than a boy. Feng Ji Guotu and others are not as good at figuring out the meaning and flattering. If he is willing to give advice, he will inevitably repeat the mistakes of Duke Tian."


    Tian Feng looked at Bai Xiaowen and wanted to stop talking.
