Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Feng Ji forced himself to calm down. After a long time, he slowly said, "Gongze has not fallen asleep yet, but he has started talking in his sleep. You leave immediately, and I will pretend that this incident never happened. Otherwise, I will tell the lord about this matter. Gongze should know what the consequences will be."

Guo Tu smiled faintly, his face expressionless, but in fact his heart was full of contempt. We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you pretending to be such a sly friend in front of me?

When Tian Feng was favored by Yuan Shao, who among his advisers would not be jealous?

During this period, you were the one who made the most slanderous suggestions to the lord. How come when the truth was revealed, you pretended to be ignorant?

Although Guo Tu and Feng Ji are not from the Jizhou faction, they are not of the same mind in private.

Their main disagreement was over Yuan Shao's appointment of a crown prince.

Guo Tu believed that the eldest son should be the heir apparent, and if Yuan Shao were to appoint a crown prince, he should choose his eldest son Yuan Tan.

Only in this way can Yuan Shao's camp be united as one and exert its greatest strength.

Feng Ji's view was exactly the opposite. He believed that in such a chaotic world, all rules and etiquette should be abandoned, and the crown prince should be a virtuous one.

Only talented people can lead everyone to move forward, and only then can the Yuan family avoid being eliminated in this era.

But Guo Tu needed his help at this time, so he naturally could not criticize him directly.

He explained to Feng Ji in a serious and solemn manner.

"If Yuan Tu does this, I will definitely be punished by the lord. As for you, you will definitely be rewarded by the lord."

"Aren't you afraid?" Feng Ji asked indifferently, his tone full of doubt.

Guo Tu smiled and said, "Not only am I not afraid, I will also know what will happen in the future. After returning to Yecheng, the lord will personally take Tian Feng out of prison because he has been wronged. At that time, the affairs of Yecheng will probably still be handed over to Tian Feng."

There was obvious disbelief in Feng Ji's eyes. He slowly moved his gaze to a corner of the tent and said:

"I have worked hard and devoted myself to managing Yecheng for a long time, and I have done nothing wrong. How can the lord make adjustments so easily?"

Guo Tu laughed loudly, with a hint of teasing in his laughter.

"I want to ask Yuan Tu, between you and Tian Feng, who has a closer relationship with the Lord?"

Feng Ji's face turned slightly red. Even though Yuan Shao went to war and handed over Ye City, the rear base, to him, his position in Yuan Shao's heart could not be compared with Tian Feng at all.

Tian Feng was Yuan Shao's most loyal minister. Before this battle, Yuan Shao always took Tian Feng with him on every expedition.

When Yuan Shao was fighting against Gongsun Zan, Tian Feng followed him closely.

It was Tian Feng's planning that allowed Yuan Shao to gradually gain the upper hand in the war with Gongsun Zan and finally achieve victory.

During this period, Yuan Shao and Tian Feng were inseparable. Once, Yuan Shao was surrounded by Gongsun Zan's cavalry and arrows rained down on him. It was Tian Feng who supported Yuan Shao and hid behind a low wall, thus avoiding the rain of arrows from the cavalry.

Supporting Yuan Shao and hiding him alone may seem like an ordinary thing, but it has a different meaning in this era.

Being able to stand side by side with his lord and accept the test of life and death is enough to show his lord's trust in him.

"My lord is much closer to Tian Feng than I am to him."

"In that case, does Yuantu still have questions about this matter?"

Feng Ji closed his eyes and said nothing. It was obvious that he was having a complicated ideological struggle in his heart. After a long time, he opened his eyes and slowly asked, "What do you want me to do about this?"

Guo Tu chuckled, walked forward calmly and began his statement.

After Guo Tu finished his story, Feng Ji showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"It's so simple, can it really allow the lord to kill Tian Feng?"

Guo Tu said confidently: "The truth is always simple. Just follow the plan. Tian Feng will die this time."

The next morning, Yuan Shao woke up from his sleep. As soon as he walked out of the tent, he saw Guo Tu and Feng Ji waiting outside the tent.

Yuan Shao said calmly: "Hurry up and order the soldiers to cook, and after eating, quickly return to Yecheng."

Guo Tu bowed and said, "My lord, this is already being done. We have just been defeated and morale is low. My lord, would you like to walk around the camp to boost morale?"

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and said, "It's still early, and there's nothing to do if I just sit there. I might as well take a walk and stretch my muscles."

Yuan Shao walked ahead, while Guo Tu and Feng Ji smiled at each other and followed him calmly.

After walking a few dozen steps, I heard several soldiers sitting together and talking loudly.

"If we had listened to Tian Feng's words, we wouldn't have suffered such a disaster."

"Tian Feng is a man of extraordinary insight, loyal and outspoken. Unfortunately, the lord did not listen to his words. The defeat was not surprising."

"I really don't know how my lord will face Tian Feng after this defeat."

The discussions came one after another, and every word penetrated into Yuan Shao's ears. After all the discussions, what they meant was very clear.

Yuan Shao’s failure to listen to Tian Feng’s loyal advice led to his defeat today.

Yuan Shao stood there, feeling somewhat embarrassed. After a long while, he slowly said, "I didn't listen to Tian Feng's advice, which led to this defeat. Now that I am back in Yecheng, I am ashamed to see him!"

Feng Ji bowed slowly and said, "What the lord is worried about is that Tian Feng heard about the lord's defeat in prison. He laughed and said that the defeat was exactly what he expected."

When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes became fierce and he became even angrier.

"Is this true?"

Feng Ji calmed himself down and said firmly, "How dare I lie in front of my lord? This is absolutely true."

Before Yuan Shao could answer, Guo Tu interrupted and said, "Tian Feng doesn't have much etiquette. It's in line with his temperament to say such things in prison."

Yuan Shao listened to their analysis and thought of Tian Feng's daily contradictions with him, and he believed it to 90%.

Feng Ji wanted to take advantage of the situation, but Guo Tu gave him a very obscure look.

Feng Ji swallowed the words back when they were about to come out of his mouth.

Seeing Feng Ji keep silent, Guo Tu felt a little relieved.

Many things are more hasty than productive. The two of them had already said everything they needed to say, and now was Yuan Shao's personal time to think about it. If he said more at this time, it would probably backfire.

Now all they have to do is wait quietly, or say a few good words for Tian Feng when they have the chance, but they cannot keep chasing after Tian Feng.

Things turned out just as Guo Tu had expected. The expression on Yuan Shao's face became more and more distorted, and the anger in his eyes became more and more intense.

He slowly took two steps forward, as if he had finally made up his mind.

"I will kill the corrupt scholar who laughed at me like this."

After saying this, he took the sword from his bosom, handed it to Guo Tu, and said: "Gong Ze, quickly send two messengers with this sword to the prison to make Tian Feng commit suicide. Leaving his body intact can also be regarded as fulfilling the loyalty between us as monarch and subject."
