At this moment, Tian Feng strode to the middle of the hall and said loudly: "Our army has been fighting for many years. It has just been less than a year since the rest and recuperation. Most of the soldiers in the army are new soldiers and their combat effectiveness has not yet been formed. If they rashly participate in the war, they may die in a foreign land. Furthermore, this heavy snow suddenly came, our army was unprepared, and the weapons and materials were not prepared at all, and the logistics were not complete. How could it be a war? Third, the expansion of arms and construction of Yanjing and other expenses have long caused our army's money and food deficits. If it were not for the assistance of the Zhen Chamber of Commerce and the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, our army would not even have the money to support the soldiers. How could it be withstand such a large-scale battle? Based on these three points, a certain person disagrees with the lord's battle!"

Tian Feng is indeed a straight-minded person, and it is worthy of being a presumptuous person in the future. The combat plan has been formulated by Ao Lie in person, and most officials have agreed that at this critical moment, Tian Feng suddenly rose and said these three reasons that cannot be fought.

In fact, what Tian Feng said is not unreasonable. Ao Lie also knew that his current wealth could not withstand the toss and things. It sounded like a lot of 150,000 Youbian Army, but more than half of them were recruits who had just joined the army within a year. It would be great if they could not be scared by the cruel killing after they set foot on the battlefield. If this reason leads to the defeat in this battle, Ao Lie was thinking that the expenses required to organize more than 100,000 troops were really not something he could afford now. This is also an important reason why Ao Lie has always insisted on taking the elite army route, because he doesn't have that much money.

Seeing Ao Lie silent, Tian Feng continued to say unyieldingly: "Lord, the lessons of the destruction of the country due to military military force have been too many since ancient times. Our army should continue to recuperate, so that the troops in the territory are sufficient for food and the country is rich and the people are safe, and the army can only go north or south. The quiet place is a bitter and cold place with a sparse population, so the lord either does not fight, and to fight one battle to fight. It is a long-term solution to minimize the losses of soldiers. Similar to the battles in front of us, it is better not to fight without fighting."

As we all know, Tian Feng's family was killed by Yuan Shao. Logically, it should be something that Tian Feng likes to expand his power and accumulate strength. In that case, it would be one step closer to the day when Ao Lie rushed south to attack Yuan Shao. However, Tian Feng strongly advocated the slaughter of the war, and analyzed the reasons for the slaughter of the war from the overall situation of Youbing, and completely threw away his personal grudges. This alone is admirable enough.

Ao Lie pressed the table and asked the officials present: "Who else supports Mr. Yuan Hao's point of view?"

Gu Yong was in charge of the money and grain in Youzhou, and knew that the storage in the treasury could not withstand the war, so he stood up silently and stood beside Tian Feng, expressing his own position. After Gu Yong, several more officials stood up one after another to support Tian Feng's point of view. The old minister under Liu Yu, Yan Rou, who is currently the prefect of Yanjing, was also among them.

This situation of openly opposing the lord's established strategy and expressing dissatisfaction in front of the lord in groups may only appear in Ao Lie's prefecture palace. It indirectly reflects Ao Lie's kindness and tolerance towards his subordinates. If this is under Yuan Shao's command, Tian Feng and others will not be punished, they may not be reused in the future. The lenient atmosphere within the Youbing group and Ao Lie's generous mind can be seen.

However, this battle must be fought. Ao Lie will never change this. Historically, the Central Plains later suffered from wars, people were displaced, and even changed their children to eat. The root cause of all this was the situation of the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. The Xianbei was the most important branch of the Five Barbarians. Therefore, Ao Lie's determination was firm and unshakable for the containment and even complete elimination of the Xianbei. He could not tolerate the indulgence of the Xianbei, nor could he tolerate the situation of the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. It really happened on the land of China.

Seeing Ao Lie's thoughts, Zhuge Liang stood up and said to Tian Feng and others: "Everyone, what Mr. Yuan Hao said is indeed reasonable. However, if the Xianbei and other foreign races invade our Han land and cause the people of the border to suffer, how can we be assured as the imperial officials? At present, Yuan Shao's vitality has not yet recovered, which is a great opportunity for our army to conquer the northern border. If we miss this opportunity, in the future, Yuan Shao and the foreign races in the northern border will collude with each other and invade two ways, how should we resist?"

Zhuge Liang's words resonated with many people. In order to occupy Jizhou, Yuan Shao colluded with the Wuhuan people, forcing the former Jizhou Mu Hanfu to be attacked from both sides and eventually committed suicide. The bloody lesson was right in front of him. How could he not attract the attention of everyone? Who can guarantee that Yuan Shao will not collude with the Wuhuan or even the Xianbei again in the future, and the Xiongnu will deal with Ao Lie?

After setting the tone of righteousness for his own remarks, Zhuge Liang began to analyze Tian Feng's arguments one by one: "There are indeed a large number of new recruits in our army. Liang was also very worried. However, without experiencing the baptism of war and training alone, they will never grow into elite soldiers in a hundred battles. This battle is an excellent opportunity to train them. The equipment of aliens is extremely simple, and they can be the whetstone of our new recruits, so that they can grow up quickly. Otherwise, in the future, facing the well-equipped and well-trained Yuan Shao's army, what will they use to compete for their strengths and weaknesses?"

"In addition, the sudden snowfall caused our army to be unprepared. This is true, but if we think in reverse, our army is not prepared. Are the Xianbei people prepared? Speaking of which, in the past year, our army has been recuperating and training soldiers. At this moment, the morale is high. When the Xianbei people suffer from this natural disaster, everyone is panic and in danger. If they cannot eat, their morale will inevitably be low. According to this analysis, the right time, place and people are in harmony, heavy snow falls from the sky, which is also unfavorable to our army and the Xianbei. In terms of geographical advantage, our army and the Xianbei each occupy half of the situation. In terms of morale, our army has obvious people and advantages compared to the Xianbei. If the knife is not sharpened, it will rust; if the morale is high and not fighting, it will inevitably lead to the morale of our army falling to a low point. In that case, our army's training over the past year will be completely abandoned."

"Last point, it's okay for our army to have a tight finance. Large-scale combat is indeed not realistic, but our army only attacks one route, and the other two routes are mainly defense. Such a strategy can still be handled by the current finance. The expansion of Yanjing is temporarily interrupted and the limited financial resources are used to combat, which is enough to ensure the battle of our army. As for the funds for the expansion of Yanjing after the war, the funds for the expansion of Yanjing will be settled on the Xianbei people. The heavy snow has frozen a large number of cattle and sheep from the Xianbei people. These cattle and sheep can only fill the belly in the hands of the Xianbei people and become food for the Xianbei people. But if it falls into our hands, it will be different. Wool, sheep horns, cowhide, oxen, etc. can all be exchanged for money and food. As long as our army wins this battle, why worry about not having subsequent money and food? This is the principle of fighting to support the war."

After Zhuge Liang's long speech, it immediately attracted warm applause from all the generals and more than half of the civil servants. Even Jia Xu, who was not happy and angry, couldn't help but stand up and cheer.

Amid the applause, Tian Feng lowered his head and thought carefully, repeatedly considering the feasibility of Zhuge Liang's words. After a long time, Tian Feng suddenly looked up and bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang, saying, "Kong Ming's views are beyond the reach of people. Only now can I understand why the lord will be so hard to cultivate you. You really have the talent in your heart to conquer the country and make plans for stability and stability. I admire you."

Then, Tian Feng changed his tone and looked at Ao Lie and said, "Lord, after Kong Ming's analysis, he was not stopping his lord's decision. However, he needed his lord to give him a certain deadline. After all, this battle was too risky. If it succeeds, our army will advance greatly; if it is defeated, our army will fall into a place of doom."

Ao Lie also knew that this battle did take a lot of risks. Although the prospect outlined by Zhuge Liang was tempting, it was based on defeating the Xianbei people. If this battle was defeated, he would fall into the irretrievable place as Tian Feng said. Not only would he consume a lot of food and grass and lose a large number of new recruits in vain, it would even lead to a regression in You and Gang's economy. It would be impossible to recover without two or three years. However, don't forget how Ao Lie came to this world. Ao Lie's nature is full of adventure. Faced with all unknown challenges, Ao Lie never retreated. He would only overcome the difficulties in front of him one by one, defeat the challenges in front of him one by one, and treat difficulties and challenges as a stepping stone for himself to reach the peak!

"Three months! Give someone three months! I will give you an answer and give you an explanation to all the people in You and the territory." Ao Lie looked at Tian Feng and said seriously.

If it were someone else, his lord had already made such concessions, he would definitely take advantage of the situation and obey. But Tian Feng would not, and he would never know what obedience means. After hearing the deadline given by Ao Lie, Tian Feng thought for a moment, and then slowly shook his head: "Three months is too long. I cannot agree to treat all the limited money and grain as a bet for this battle. I must leave necessary emergency needs for the future, so I can only give my lord two months. If my lord agrees, I will wholeheartedly rectify the food and grass in the rear for our army to fight!"

After hearing Tian Feng's firm words, Ao Lieten stood up and looked at Tian Feng intently. No one could tell from his facial expression what he was thinking.

Gu Yong, who was standing beside Tian Feng, thought Ao Lie was angry, so he hurriedly pulled Tian Feng secretly, and then said to Ao Lie: "Don't be angry. Three months will be three months. Yong promises that within three months, the soldiers fighting on the front line will not be short of a grain of food."

The old minister Yan Rou also whispered to Tian Feng: "Yuanhao, don't be stubborn anymore, and quickly admit your mistake to the Lord."

Unexpectedly, Tian Feng seemed to have not heard them, and still looked at Ao Lie without any concession, saying, "Two months, at most two months!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked. The military generals, led by Lu Bu, and the civil officials, led by Zhuge Liang, all stood up and bowed to Ao Lie: "Please calm down. Since ancient times, I hope the lord will think twice!"

"Hahaha," Ao Lie suddenly laughed and said with a big laugh: "Do you think someone is the petty Yuan Benchu? According to Mr. Yuan Hao, this matter will definitely be defeated by the Xianbei within two months!"

The laughter gradually stopped, and Ao Lie said with a serious expression: "Using copper as a mirror can correct your clothes; using ancient as a mirror can tell the rise and fall; using people as a mirror can tell the gains and losses. Tian Yuanhao is a mirror of a certain person, a mirror that can tell the gains and losses!"
