Three days later, Zhang He and Wen Chou respectively sent people to send battle reports, saying that Qiu and Zhangguo had been completely taken.

This is still cautious, worried that the closer to the broken city, the more the Xiahou brothers will have a relationship with each other.

Otherwise, with less than 200 defenders in Jiqiu, Zhang He only needs to launch a powerful siege, and Qiucheng will be broken.

this day.

A sentry rode into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”

"Tian Beijia asked his subordinates to send a copy of the paperwork."

After speaking, he handed over the paperwork in his hand with both hands.

Xiong Da took the paperwork from the sentry rider, turned around and handed it to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng opened the document and read it carefully.

Among them, I briefly talked about the situation in Youzhou, and at present, several parties are continuing to consume.

On Liu Biao's side, after stopping the war with Yuan Shu, taking advantage of the fact that Jiangdong had not determined the new master for the time being, he sent the Zhonglang general Gan Ning to send troops from Changsha County to Jiangdong.

On Yin's side in Henan, Lu Su sent back news that Cao Cao had sent his eldest son Cao Ang with an army of 30,000 to 40,000 to Chenliu County to intercept Huaxiong.

Cao Cao suddenly lost 30,000 or 40,000 troops, which greatly reduced the pressure on Lu Su.

In particular, Cao Cao's cavalry all left Henan Yin.

Without the existence of cavalry, Lu Su also began to defend the city, even if the city was lost and there was no cavalry to pursue, Lu Su could lead the army and slowly retreat to safety.

The point is that Cao Cao originally went with an army of 70,000 or 80,000, and suddenly there were 30,000 or 40,000 less, that is to say, Cao Cao's current strength is only 40,000 or 50,000.

In this way, Cao Cao's troops were not much more than Lu Su.

Not to mention defending the city, even if you fight in the wild, it is not impossible.

It's just that there is a lack of generals on Lu Su's side, so Lu Su said that he would not fight with Cao Cao.

After reading the news, Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Not bad! ”

Although Zhao Feng has known the news about Gan Ning for a long time.

After all, the news was sent from Jingzhou to the Yuan family, and then from the Yuan family to Zhao Feng, so naturally there was no Jingzhou underground organization, and the information was directly sent to Xuzhou.

But just based on the news from Lu Su's side, it is already great news!

In this way, Cao Cao not only could not decide the ownership of Henan Yin in a war, but was restrained by Lu Su's army.

Then in the war of Zuo Fengyi, Hongnong County, and Dongjun, Cao Cao had no way to send troops to help.

Dongjun was originally only about half of the south of the Yellow River, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Xu Huang should be able to take Dongjun.

When the time comes, whether Xu Huang will sit in Dongjun or send troops to Chenliu County to assist Huaxiong in relieving the siege, it can be arranged at will.

In addition, as time goes by, Hongnong County and Zuo Fengyi will sooner or later be taken down by Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and others.

In this case, Zhao Feng's side has an absolute advantage.

Zhao Feng groaned slightly: "Go back and tell Tian Feng to make as many arrows as possible in the rear." ”

The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "No! ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

In addition to the siege of the city, which is relatively fast and has more dead people.

It's the use of arrows to consume each other.

The advantage of this siege method is that there are fewer dead people, and the disadvantage is that it takes a long time and consumes more arrows.

But as long as the city can be captured, most of the arrows can be used twice, and a small number of arrows can be used again by simply going back and repairing them.

And several armies, after attacking for so long, have not taken a single county, which is obviously a strategy of using fewer dead, more time-consuming, and more arrows.

After all, the number of soldiers in each army on Zhao Feng's side is limited.

In this strategy, the defender will be protected by a wall, and the besieging side will also send shields to protect it.

As long as the archers of the defending side are almost consumed, when the besieging side goes to attack the city again, there will be many fewer soldiers.

After all, whether it is the army rushing to the city gate, or an attack that is not taken, when it is necessary to retreat, the soldiers who are shot dead by the archers of the defending side are the most.

The sentinel from the Yuan clan had just left.

Another sentry ran into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi!" ”

"My subordinates just heard a rumor that Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, was beheaded by General Hua in the contact battle with General Hua!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Where did the rumor come from?" ”

Zhao Feng felt that he seemed to have asked a nonsense, how did the sentry know that the rumors were coming from that direction.

Instead, he asked, "Are you in charge of finding out that direction?" ”

The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "The subordinate is responsible for the west of Kaiyang, within two hundred miles!" ”

As soon as Zhao Feng heard it, he knew that this sentry was not a single person who was responsible for such a large area, but a team of fifty people.

Two hundred miles west of Kaiyang, it is almost the area of Hexiang and Changxi in Donghai County.

Hexiang and Chang thought about the past, and it was the Lu country of Yanzhou.

In other words, this rumor came from Yanzhou!

Then this rumor, which is obviously unfavorable to Cao Cao, obviously cannot be the news that Cao Cao deliberately released.

Therefore, eight or nine times out of ten, Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, was really beheaded by Hua Xiong!

And this news was deliberately spread by Hua Xiong.

Because, Huaxiong is likely to face Cao Cao's fierce blow!

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Once this matter is confirmed to be true, you will be credited!" ”

Then he waved his hand: "Go down." ”

The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Thank you, lord!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

Wait for the sentry to ride away.

Zhao Feng looked at Xiong Da: "Go and call Huang Zhong and Wei Yan." ”

Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "No! ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

After a while, Xiong Dapo, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan walked into the Chinese army's tent together.

As soon as Xiong Da gave up his hand to Zhao Feng, he returned to his position and stood still.

Huang Zhong and Wei Yan bowed their hands to Zhao Feng and said in unison: "I have seen the lord, the lord called me to come, what do you command?" ”

Zhao Feng said the rumors just now, and then asked, "If you are Cao Cao himself, what will you do?" ”

Huang Zhong pondered for a long time: "The revenge of killing the son is still the eldest son......

"If it is the last general, he will definitely lead his troops to exterminate General Hua's department."

"First, you can avenge your eldest son."

"Second, it can also solve the danger of Xu Capital."

"Three, you can cut off the lord's arm."

"After all, there is the factor of General Hua, and it is impossible to make people feel at ease."

Zhao Feng now has a total of less than 30,000 cavalry, of which Hua Xiong commands half of them.

Its strategic role is naturally much higher than that of ordinary infantry armies, and it can be called a helping arm.

At least Huaxiong's lone army went deep into Chenliu County, because it was the cavalry that led it.

If Hua Xiong led the infantry, even if the lone army penetrated deep into Chenliu County, it would not be able to pose any threat to Cao Cao!
