Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

"It's snowing……"

While Gongsun Du was in the Liaodong Army, he was dreaming of destroying Cao Ang and going south to take over the Central Plains.

Yuyang County, Pinggu City, where Cao Jun is stationed.

Cao Ang looked at the falling snow in the sky and thought thoughtfully:"I wonder how long this snow will last and how big it will be."……"

The reason why I say this is because it is related to Cao Jun's next strategy.

If the heavy snow continues or even closes the mountains, then troops will not be able to march in a short period of time.

Cao Ang will not play with the safety of the army and the lives of the soldiers.

"General, although the snow seems dense, it doesn't fall heavily.

It was just the first snow in the North. It would fall for half a day at most and then melt within a few days.

The heavy snowfall in the northern land will not continue until around October."

Beside Cao Ang, a Confucian scholar about thirty years old smiled and said.

This man's name is Tian Chou, who is from Wujing County, Youbeiping County. He loved reading when he was young and was good at fencing. He was famous in Youzhou and Liaodong..In the first year of Chuping (190), the eighteen princes of Guandong allied themselves and rebelled against Dong Zhuo.

In order to avoid the enemy troops, Dong Zhuo kidnapped the emperor Liu Xie and hundreds of officials and moved the imperial court to Chang'an.

Then the princes of Guandong dispersed themselves. They began to attack and annex each other, and established separate regimes.

At that time, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, sighed:"The traitors and ministers rebelled, the court was exiled and lost, and the world was overturned. No one has a firm belief.

As a remnant of the royal clan, I am naturally not the same as everyone else.

Now I want to invite an envoy to go to the court to meet the emperor and fulfill my courtesy as a loyal minister. How can I get someone who lives up to his mission?

After the officials who belonged to Liu Yu discussed it, they all said in unison:"Although Tian Chou is young, many people call him a strange man.""

Liu Yu then politely and thoughtfully invited Tian Chou to meet him. After a conversation, he was very satisfied with Tian Chou's literary skills, military skills and knowledge.

So he appointed him as an official in Youzhou, bought him carriages, horses and entourage, and formed a military force. He sent the convoy to Chang'an to meet the emperor on his behalf.

Before setting off, Tian Chou said:"Now the world is in chaos, and the princes have risen together.

The roads are blocked and cut off, and thieves are everywhere.

If I claim to be an official on a mission and bring chariots and horses to accompany me, it will definitely attract attention, and there will be thieves and soldiers who will covet and rob me, which will cause a lot of inconvenience.

I would like to go as an individual, travel lightly and simply, and hope to arrive smoothly."

Liu Yu listened to his advice.

Tian Chou then chose more than 20 family members and brave young men who came here to be his followers in his hometown of Youbeiping, and prepared to ride to Chang'an as an envoy. At that time, Tian Chou , only twenty-three years old!

Liu Yu personally came out to worship the road god and see Tian Chou off.

After embarking on the road, Tian Chou did not go directly south to the Central Plains, but went north to Juyongguan, left the border fortress, went west along the Yin Mountain, and went directly to Shuofang County in Bingzhou.

Then he went south from Shuofang County, marched along the small road, and finally arrived in Chang'an to meet the emperor and completed his mission.

Seeing that Tian Chou was loyal and brave and a famous scholar, the loyal ministers in the court asked the emperor to issue an edict to appoint Tian Chou as the Cavalry Commander.

Tian Chou thought that the emperor was in exile. He had just returned and was not settled yet. He could not accept such honor and favor, so he refused to accept the offer.

The three palaces of Situ Wang Yun, Sikong Yang Biao, and Taiwei Zhu Jun recruited Tian Chou at the same time, but Tian Chou did not accept it.

It was just that Liu Yu As an envoy, he stayed in Chang'an to serve the emperor on his behalf.

Until the fourth year of Chuping (193), Liu Yu couldn't stand it because Gongsun Zan was arrogant and domineering and plundered the people, so he led an army of one hundred thousand to attack Gongsun Zan.

However, because of Liu Yu's kindness, he was not good at it. When using troops, his officers rarely fought and were not good at fighting.

Liu Yu also cherished the houses of the people outside the city, and could not bear to demolish and burn the people's houses to attack Gongsun Zan's city.

Therefore, he lost to Gongsun Zan and was recruited by Gongsun Zan's men who were good at fighting. After

Tian Chou got the news in Chang'an, he was worried about Liu Yu, so he hurried back.

Before he reached Youzhou, Liu Yu had been killed by Gongsun Zan.

After Tian Chou came back, he paid homage to Liu Yu's tomb and sent a memorial to the court. After hearing the news of Liu Yu's death and Gongsun Zan's domineering behavior, he left in tears.

When Gongsun Zan found out, he was furious and offered a reward for his arrest. He captured Tian Chou and said to him:"Why did you go to Liu Yu's tomb alone to cry, and why did you cry for the dead Liu Yu?" You drafted a memorial and sent it to the court, but you didn't come to send me the report and chapter list?

Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?.！"

Tian Chou replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:"The royal family of the Han Dynasty declined, and everyone harbored dissent. Only Liu Gong did not lose his integrity. What was said in the report was not good to the general. I am afraid you are not happy to know, so Not sent"

"Moreover, the general is quite ambitious and wants to separate himself as the king and plan for great things. This is when reputation is needed.

Youzhou Mu Gong Liu was the general's old master, but he was killed by the general, which had already disgraced the general.

If I, a loyal minister of Liu Gong who upholds loyalty, are killed again, then the scholars in the Yan and Zhao areas will only throw themselves into the East Sea and die, and will not be willing to follow you, General Gongsun!"

Because of Tian Chou's confident answer, Gongsun Zan loosened his bonds and did not dare to harm him. Later, under the pressure of the Youzhou scholars, he let Tian Chou go. After

Tian Chou escaped, he returned to his hometown of Youbeiping and gathered his clan. He and hundreds of warriors who followed him fled into Xu Wu Mountain.

One was to escape the troubled times, and the other was to plot revenge for the old master Liu Yu.

Many people and scholars in Youzhou also came to follow Tian Chou in admiration.

In the past few years , In time, the number of households reached more than 5,000!

Tian Chou took Xu Wushan as its foundation, recruited and governed the people who followed him, established laws, cultivated and maintained themselves, and became a paradise-like force in the troubled times of Youzhou.

When Yuan Shao learned about it After gaining Tian Chou's reputation, he sent people to send seals and ribbons several times to recruit Tian Chou.

However, Tian Chou knew that Yuan Shao was not a hero, so he refused.

Until Cao Ang came out last year, swept through the southern princes, and defeated Yuan Shao, Tian Chou Realizing that Cao Ang can be said to be an unparalleled generation of heroes!

He is a wise king who can end troubled times!

In May and June this year, Cao Ang defeated Yuan Shang and Gongsun Zan at the same time, almost conquering the four states of Hebei without a single blow.

After gaining the four states of Hebei, However, the land of the four states did not experience any panic and chaos. On the contrary, under Cao Ang's care, it was very peaceful and the people were not disturbed.

Tian Chou was even more certain that Cao Ang was a wise king like the reincarnation of Guangwu.

So when Cao Ang led his army, When he arrived at Yuyang County and prepared for the Northern Expedition to Liaodong, Tian

Chou spontaneously came to follow him and join him. Naturally

, Cao Ang welcomed Tian Chou's arrival very much. A loyal and talented man with good moral character!

Just Tian Chou's original work as Liu Yu and his intelligence and bravery in going to Chang'an as an envoy with only more than 20 people in troubled times are enough to show Tian Chou's literary, Taoist and military strategies.

Later, from Gongsun Zan After escaping from the hands, he escaped into Xu Wu Mountain. There were thousands of households and tens of thousands of people following Tian Chou as a Confucian scholar.

And Tian Chou also managed his followers in an orderly manner. He can be called a capable minister and a wise man!

Such a talented person , even Yuan Shao, a blind guy, recruited him many times.

But Tian Chou looked down on Yuan Shao and never accepted the call.

Such a great talent has now come to join Cao Ang. How can Cao Ang not welcome him?

Even Cao Ang knows, In the original history, in the twelfth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan and the Yuan brothers who fled north, but the expedition was not successful. In the summer, he encountered mountain torrents and muddy conditions in Liaodong, and almost had the intention of retreating.

It was Tian Chou who took the initiative to guide Cao's army and guide him. Cao Cao's army detoured from a small road and suggested that Cao Cao be unprepared and attack Wuhuan from a small road when Wuhuan thought that Cao's army would not advance on the muddy road.

Cao Cao followed Tian Chou's suggestion and took Zhang Liao as the vanguard (the King of Mo) to advance first. , Sure enough, he achieved a great victory.

That battle was also the first battle in which Zhang Liao became famous. When Tadun Shanyu was unprepared, he made a surprise attack and killed Tadun Shanyu in an army of 200,000.!

Tadun Shanyu was called a being comparable to Maodun Shanyu, not a idiot. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But he died in the hands of Zhang Liao!

Of course Zhang Liao was brave among them The reason for Wushuang also has a lot to do with Tian Chou's advice and guidance!

It can be said that Tian Chou may not be inferior to Guo Jia in terms of strategy and ingenuity!

In addition to his clever plans and strategies, Tian Chou also has the talent to govern the people!

Loyal, brave, resourceful, and versatile, it can be said that Tian Chou is almost an all-rounder!

It's just that it was not so widely known in later generations.

This is a historical pearl that is no less impressive than Guo Jia!

Now, it is under Cao Ang's account, temporarily also leading the marching Sima.

Cao Zi had great trust in Tian Chou.

After Tian Chou said that the first snow would not fall heavily or for a long time, Cao Ang also had a clue in his heart. He smiled lightly and said:"In that case, let's continue to act according to the plan! In the first battle, I will defeat Wuhuan first. , fight against Tadun Shanyu, who is said to be on par with Maodun!"
