Following the location given by Zhang Jiao, Lin Han found Tian Feng's home.

Although he resigned from his official position and retired, Tian Feng lived a comfortable life. After all, he had been an official and the money he saved was enough for his retirement.

Lin Han searched for a long time before he found a middle-aged man fishing by the river not far away.

Lying on a bamboo chair with my face covered by a bamboo hat and a tall tree overhead, I felt so comfortable.

Lin Han changed his appearance and turned back into his first identity, Xiao Hange. He slowly walked to sit next to Tian Feng.

After a long time, Tian Feng, who seemed to have just woken up, found someone beside him and turned his head in surprise.

"Your Excellency, are you here to cool off?"

"No, I came here to invite you to come out of seclusion." Lin Han went straight to the point.

He knew that Tian Feng was a man of integrity and straightforwardness who did not like beating around the bush. This was why he had such a rough road. When he was invited out of retirement by Yuan Shao, he served as the deputy governor of Jizhou and helped Yuan Shao pacify Gongsun Zan.

However, during the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao did not listen to Tian Feng's "persistent tactics", which gave Cao Cao an opportunity to take advantage and ultimately led to his defeat.

Cao Cao said to himself that if Yuan Shao had followed Tian Feng's strategy, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

From a historical perspective, compared to Chen Ping, Xun You, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and the like, it was a pity that he surrendered to Yuan Shao, which was a waste of talent and he did not meet a wise leader, which eventually led to his death.

Lin Han judged that Tian Feng was definitely a top-notch strategist or above.

"Ask me to come out of seclusion? Who are you?" Tian Feng asked.

"I am from Luzhou, General Wei Lu, and Marquis of Duting, Xiao Hange."

"Are you Xiao Hange, the bandit leader who caused Lu Kang to suffer and was ordered to surrender?" Tian Feng looked at Lin Han in surprise.

Damn, he is indeed a straight man.

It may sound harsh, but it is the truth. He was a bandit leader in his previous life.

"Excuse me, sir. It's me."

"You little rascal, dare you ask me to come out of retirement?"

Tian Feng looked at Lin Han meaningfully, his eyes fixed on the fishing rod in the river.

What a straight man, speaking so rudely, but Lin Han didn't care. After all, the other party had been a talented scholar and a royal censor, while he was just a general.

"Sir, I have a question, but I don't know whether I should ask it or not?" Lin Han asked leisurely as he sat beside Tian Feng.

"explain."

"How is the court today?"

Tian Feng was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "How is it?"

"A man of talent is one who knows nothing of reading; a man of filial piety is one whose father lives apart; a man of humble character is muddy as mud, a man of high rank and valor is as timid as a chicken."

After he finished speaking, Tian Feng's face changed drastically, and he became very depressed, which eventually turned into a long sigh.

"The borders of You, Bing, and Ji provinces have been plundered by the Hu people year after year, leaving the entire court without a single man. The Wuhuan, feared like tigers by the court, were annihilated by the Yellow Turban warriors. What do you think of the common people?"

Tian Feng was speechless.

"Nowadays, eunuchs are in power and relatives of the emperor are meddling in government affairs. Are you willing to accept this, sir?"

"Why not?" Tian Feng sighed and said, "What else can I do?"

"You are angry about the murder of loyal and virtuous officials, but you resigned and returned home, not daring to argue with them, only wishing to keep yourself safe. How is this compared to a coward like a rat?"

"You... you're quite the sharp-tongued person." Tian Feng laughed heartily. "Even if I were to return to the government, you're only a mere Duke of Duting, a General of Wei Lu. Why should I follow you?"

Damn, this guy really speaks rudely.

This is not integrity, it's zero emotional intelligence.

But Lin Han doesn't care about these things. People with ability tend to have some temper.

"I came here under the guidance of my master, who said that you are knowledgeable, skilled in political strategy, and upright and forthright. Therefore, I came to ask you to come out of seclusion. If you were just a coward, this journey would be nothing more than this. Your evaluation of you is an exaggeration."

"May I ask who your master is?"

"My teacher is Cai Yong, Cai Boji."

"Cai Yong? Cai Bojie? Are you serious?" Tian Feng was shocked.

"Exactly."

"Words are not enough."

Lin Han knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately handed over the "Shi Hai" given by Cai Yong.

"This 'Sea of ​​Explanation' was written by the teacher as a warning to himself. He always carries it with him. He passed it on to me early on, hoping that I would constantly reflect on myself. I carry it with me, hoping only to live up to the teacher's wishes."

Tian Feng was startled and hurriedly took the "Shi Hai" from Lin Han's hand to read.

After a long time, he put away "Shi Hai" and returned it to Lin Han, praising him endlessly.

"Master Cai is indeed a great scholar of the time. His words are truly thunderous. In the past, Master Cai dared to speak out against women interfering in government affairs in the court, and he was not afraid of the powerful. For this reason alone, I am inferior to him."

Tian Feng laughed out loud.

"Since Master Cai is willing to teach me everything he knows, why should I hesitate? Tian Feng is willing to serve you and make the best use of your talents."

Tian Feng took off his bamboo hat, stood up and bowed to Lin Han.

"System prompt: Top-notch strategist [Tian Feng] is willing to follow the player. Do you agree?"

"agree."

Lin Han was overjoyed when he saw the attribute panel.

I didn't expect that becoming a disciple would have such benefits. Bringing the teacher out is much more useful than his eloquence.

Tian Feng's intelligence is as high as 949, which is very close to that of a super strategist.

My teacher is Cai Yong.

My teacher is Zhang Jiao.

Listen, how impressive, much better than those rich second generations.

Lin Han was thinking that when recruiting counselors in the future, he would try using the teacher's title.

"Yuan Hao, there's no need to be so polite."

Lin Han supported Tian Feng, feeling ecstatic.

Finally, there is a strategist who can intercept Han Fu and Yuan Shao, and Tian Feng will be his from now on.
