Hearing Xu Huang's name, Zhao Feng was stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect Xu Huang to be a general under Yang Feng, and I didn't expect that Xu Huang would actually take refuge in Cao Cao at such a time.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Now Xu Huang has just taken refuge in Cao Cao. ”

"Zijing, is there a way to let Xu Huang turn to us?"

Lu Su was puzzled: "Xu Huang, is this person very powerful?" ”

Zhao Feng knew that Lu Su's doubts were also normal.

After all, before Xu Huang, he hadn't fought any particularly powerful battles.

Now he is the captain of the capital under Yang Feng, and the title is only the Marquis of Duting, or after escorting the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, he was collectively rewarded for his escort.

In other words, even if Xu Huang is now the Marquis of Du Pavilion and the Captain of Du Cai, he has not fought any big battles.

So there are not too many people who know Xu Huang's ability.

Zhao Feng nodded: "Putting aside whether he is powerful or not, but his vision is indeed not bad." ”

"In addition, it is precisely because Xu Huang has no record now."

"So we still have a chance to get Xu Huang."

"If Cao Cao knew Xu Huang's ability, he was only afraid that Cao Cao's side would not let him go!"

Lu Su pondered for a long time: "Xu Huang has just defected to Cao Cao, even if we send someone to contact Xu Huang, it is impossible for him to take refuge in us." ”

"After all, Xu Huang was originally under Yang Feng, but now he has turned his back on Yang Feng and switched to Cao Cao, and his reputation has been stigmatized."

"If Xu Huang turns his back on Cao Cao again and turns to us, I'm afraid that people with this kind of heart will not dare to reuse it!"

"If Xu Huang is not a person with this kind of heart, then naturally he will not take refuge in us!"

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "What Zijing said is reasonable. ”

"Since it doesn't work to find Xu Huang directly, what indirect way is there?"

Lu Su thought for a moment: "The lord is so optimistic about Xu Huang, but Cao Cao is not necessarily optimistic about Xu Huang. ”

"After all, Xu Huang just switched to Cao Cao."

"The lord can put pressure on Cao Cao, and then ask Cao Cao for Xu Huang."

"The name can be set arbitrarily, for example, the Bai Bo Army once caused disaster to Hedong County, and the lord needs to take Xu Huang to calm the resentment of the people of Hedong County against the Bai Bo Army."

Zhao Feng shook his head: "This excuse, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"Xu Huang is not a senior general in the Baibo Army."

"If we say this, maybe Cao Cao won't let him go."

"In addition, in order to cope with our rhetoric, Cao Cao may find a way to send Han Xian or Yang Feng to us."

"After all, Han Xian or Yang Feng are the senior generals in the Baibo Army!"

Lu Su smiled: "It's just a name anyway." ”

"In order to avoid Cao Cao noticing Xu Huang, the lord can ask Cao Cao for all the officers and soldiers of the Baibo Army under his command."

"This naturally includes Xu Huang!"

Zhao Feng pondered for a long time and found that there was no other better name.

With the mindset of giving it a try, "Let's do it." ”

"How are we going to put pressure on Cao Cao?"

Lu Su smiled: "This is even simpler. ”

"The lord can send someone to send a document to Cao Cao."

"Directly speaking, Cao Cao took away the Son of Heaven, and the lord only got the title of a general, which is far from enough!"

"After that, if the lord needs anything, he will ask for it directly."

"Then he ordered the armies of all walks of life to assemble in the land north of the Yellow River in Dongjun."

"In this way, Cao Cao can only choose to compromise."

Zhao Feng analyzed it carefully and felt that what Lu Su said also made some sense.

After all, Otani Pass can't be taken in a short time.

Moreover, Zhao Feng is here, and he is not ready for a long-term battle.

If you put pressure on Cao Cao from Dagu Pass, it will obviously not have much effect.

And from the north of the Yellow River in Dongjun, the effect is different.

Where Zhao Feng can directly mobilize the army, grain and grass, and it is also a direct deterrence of Cao Cao's roots.

It's much better than the route on the Otani Pass side.

After all, even if Zhao Feng captured Dagu Pass, he would attack Yingchuan County after that.

There is no threat to Cao Cao's roots here.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng suddenly froze, and then said with a smile: "Zijing, this is trying his best to let me withdraw the army!" ”

"Okay, Zijing went to draft a document, and then sent someone to send it to Cao Cao."

"After that, he ordered Guan Hai to lead his headquarters and return to the north of the Yellow River in Dongjun to garrison."

"In addition, he ordered Zhao Yun of Bohai County, Huaxiong of Qinghe County, Pinggao Qu Ze of Hanoi County, and Gao Shun of the trapping camp to lead the army to the north of the Yellow River in Dong County."

"We are at Datani Pass, we will be stationed for three days, and then we will withdraw our troops!"

Lu Su waved at Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

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

Guan Hai led the army away.

Zhao Feng's army that was still left in Dagu Pass was only 31,000 troops.

Among them, 20,000 recruits trained last year, 6,500 Zhao Feng's personal guards, 2,000 school captains sent by King Zhongshan, and 2,500 of Lu Su's trilogy.

Two days later.

Lu Su walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and waved at Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord!" ”

"The sentry cavalry came to report that Yuan Shao's army was blocked from attacking Yangcheng in Yingchuan County, and now it has begun to retreat!"

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "It seems that Yuan Shao feels that he will not gain any benefit from attacking Cao Cao's side. ”

"In contrast, it should have found other places to benefit, so he led the army to retreat."

"So we were right to be worried."

"There is an eighty percent chance that Yuan Shao will lead his troops to besiege us."

Lu Su nodded: "Maybe Cao Cao secretly promised some benefits." ”

After all, Zhao Feng asked Cao Cao for a lot of things two days ago.

Among them, the appointment of the Taishou of Hedong County was arranged by Zhao Feng, and then there were all the officers and soldiers of the Baibo Army under Cao Cao, which naturally included Xu Huang's department.

and Zhao Feng directly asked for Yu Ban on the grounds that he had an old relationship with Yu Ban, and then said that he was now a general, and he didn't even have a sword, and he also asked Cao Cao for the Yitian Sword and the Qingyu Sword.

As for the other grain, and baggage, and gold and silver cakes, they were all opened indiscriminately.

With such a large number of things, Cao Cao must have had a headache when he saw it.

Naturally, Yuan Shao will be promised some other benefits, and then Yuan Shao will be able to drag himself down.

In this way, the price Cao Cao needs to pay will naturally be much less.

And Yuan Shao weighed the pros and cons, putting aside the benefits promised by Cao Cao, the benefits that Yuan Shao could get would only be more, and he would naturally accept it gladly.

In particular, Zhao Feng had already asked Guan Hai's department to withdraw two days ago.

In other words, Yuan Shao has to face Zhao Feng's army, which is only more than 30,000.

Zhao Feng didn't think much about it: "Forget it, we will withdraw tomorrow anyway." ”

"By the time Yuan Shao leads the army over, we have all crossed the Yellow River and returned to Hanoi County!"
