Chapter 839: Northern Expedition to Youzhou
Zhao Feng didn't pay much attention to this, and then looked at Su You: "Tell me about the situation in Youzhou." β
Su You bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! β
Then he began to talk in detail about the situation in Youzhou.
Roughly meaning:
Liu Yu's old subordinates, Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and others, had launched an attack on Gongsun Zhan half a month ago.
Of course, most of the fighting is about grabbing food.
Because Youzhou is in the northernmost part of the Han Dynasty, the temperature is not high, so the harvest of spring grain is half a month later than that of Jizhou.
Then the grain taxes collected in various places and then transported to Jixian County will be correspondingly late.
Therefore, Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and others seized this opportunity to loot Gongsun Zhan's grain in various places.
This made Gongsun Chan suffer a heavy loss.
But because of Wuhuan Sima Yan Rou, he is leading the Wuhuan army and the Xianbei army, preparing to attack Gongsun Zhan.
Therefore, Gongsun Zhan did not dare to divide his troops to encircle and suppress Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and others.
Afraid that the soldiers would be too scattered at that time, Wuhuan Sima Yan Rou suddenly arrived with the Wuhuan army and the Xianbei army.
At that time, Gongsun Zhan's army will only be broken one by one.
Therefore, Gongsun Zhan had no good way to loot Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and others for a while.
can only let Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and others continue to loot.
Of course, in fact, the main thing is that Gongsun Chan doesn't know how many Wuhuan and Xianbei armies Yan Rou will bring to the battle.
If you knew the specific number, Gongsun Chan would not be so passive.
But Wuhuan and Xianbei are foreigners after all, so there is no way to know many specific situations, and there is no corresponding calculation method even for calculation.
If it is Jizhou, Gongsun Zhan can also speculate how many soldiers and horses can be supported according to the approximate tax situation in Jizhou, and then all parts of Jizhou, which places need to be guarded.
In the end, it can be guessed how many soldiers and horses will be sent from Jizhou.
Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes, if it is an agricultural civilization, Gongsun Zhan may also be able to speculate one or two.
However, the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes are both nomadic peoples, and the farming of the Han Dynasty is completely different from the system, so there is no way to speculate.
After hearing this, Zhao Feng nodded: "Then when will the Wuhuan army and Xianbei army led by Yan Rou arrive in Youzhou?" β
Su You said embarrassedly: "Even Gongsun Chan doesn't know about this matter, how can the last general be clear." β
"I can only wait for the lord to ask Liu He in person!"
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "In this case, the army will be repaired in Beiping." β
"Liu He's side, when will we be fully ready, when will we lead our troops into Youzhou."
Then he waved his hand: "Let's all go down." β
Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Su You bowed their hands to Zhao Feng: "Huh! β
After speaking, the three of them turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
What Zhao Feng discussed with Tian Feng before was that if he could not participate in the war, he would not participate in the war.
The recruits who were previously prepared to use were not fully trained, and they would refuse to participate in the war in the early stage.
Well, for now, this excuse can be kept for the time being.
After all, Liu He originally sent someone to invite Zhao Feng to send troops, but after saying that, it was the Wuhuan army, the Xianbei army, and Liu Yu's old army that launched an attack on Gongsun Zan together with Zhao Feng.
Now only Liu Yu's old army is looting Gongsun Zhan's grain, Wuhuan army, Xianbei army, and he doesn't even see a shadow.
Zhao Feng naturally would not send troops.
This reason is even better than the lack of training of recruits.
After all, the lack of training of recruits is Zhao Feng's problem.
And the Wuhuan army and the Xianbei army have not yet come to participate in the war, that is Yan Rou's problem.
Time passed slowly, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Within this month, not only did Yan Rou not bring the Wuhuan army and the Xianbei army, but even Liu Yu's old army died down.
Of course, the main thing is that the grain taxes that can be grabbed have been robbed by Liu Yu's old army.
But it's also normal.
After all, Liu Yu's old army had no source of grain taxes, so if they didn't plunder Gongsun Zhan's grain taxes.
Not to mention fighting with Gongsun Chan for a long time, it is estimated that it will not take more than a few months, and it will lead to defeat because of insufficient food.
When the time comes, Liu He will inevitably come to Zhao Feng to borrow grain.
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Zhao Feng could only cooperate with Liu Yu's old department to rob Gongsun Zhan.
Of course, this kind of cooperation is actually to hold high the banner and tell Gongsun Zan that in the area of Zhuo County, Zhao Feng's army can participate in the war at any time.
Of course, the slogan naturally can't be shouted so directly, and it needs to be tactful.
But if Gongsun Chan can understand this meaning, it's fine.
this day.
Lu Su walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and waved at Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord!" β
"Tian Beijia sent a copy of the paperwork."
After speaking, he presented the paperwork in his hand with both hands.
Xiong Da walked directly in front of Lu Su, then took the document with both hands and handed it directly to Zhao Feng.
After Zhao Feng opened the paperwork, he carefully checked it.
It was probably explained in it, and everything was fine in Bingzhou and Jizhou.
The main content is about the Yanzhou War.
During this month, Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Xuzhou and then attacked LΓΌ Bu's army in a straight line at Puyang.
After a month of fighting, the two sides have won and lost each other, and they are now in a state of confrontation.
Although it is a game state, it is obviously a big disadvantage to Cao Cao.
Because as long as the game continues, after the autumn harvest, Cao Cao's army will be unsustainable.
To put it simply, Cao Cao is really short of food!
This is fundamentally different from the previous two crusades against Xuzhou and the withdrawal of troops under the pretext of lack of food.
However, this is only speculation on the surface.
After all, Cao Cao also had an additional income, that is, sending people around to rob tombs.
Then the stolen bronzes were recast into small coins to buy food.
If it is said that Zhao Feng's Drunken Immortal Building and Hongmen Dart Bureau, as long as you take some time to find out, you may be able to deduce it.
Then the income obtained by Cao Cao's tomb robbery cannot be calculated at all.
However, no matter how big the income of Cao Cao's tomb robbery is, as long as there is no grain tax to support it, Cao Cao will run out of food sooner or later.
So what Tian Feng meant was that if he sent someone to contact Cao Cao, he might be able to take Cao Cao incorporated.
After reading it, Zhao Feng handed the paperwork in his hand to Xiong Da: "Let Zijing take a look." β
Xiong Da took the paperwork and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Oh! β
After speaking, he handed over the document to Lu Su.
Zhao Feng doesn't know if there is such an event in the official history.
But if the battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu is the same as in the official history, then it is really possible that Yuan Shao's command will take the opportunity to absorb Cao Cao.
After all, the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was originally better.
Let Cao Cao take refuge in Yuan Shao, there is no burden in his heart.
It's just that Zhao Feng doesn't seem to have too deep a profound impact on this.
In other words, Cao Cao must not have taken refuge in Yuan Shao!
