Chapter 995: The Chaos Resumes

Of course, in fact, Zhao Feng is in a high position.

I feel that the nature of the deed of sale and the long-term employment contract, in addition to the seemingly respect for human rights, is also similar.

This is also one of the reasons why in the early days of the reform, there was no opposition from the family and Haoqiang.

Because for them, it's just a different name.

What's more, Wang Mang once made a similar change, but in the end, the people did not get any benefits, and the results were not obvious, so the ordinary people were not grateful to Wang Mang.

Of course, Zhao Feng will definitely not follow in Wang Mang's footsteps.

For now, though, it doesn't seem to be any practical good, except for changing the name.

But over time, the difference between being protected by the government and not being protected by the government will be reflected.

It's just that this still needs to be guided slowly, that is, to open up the wisdom of the people.

Zhao Feng found that he had a wrong idea.

Then he interrupted his thoughts and asked, "Cao Cao, is there any movement?" ”

Tian Feng shook his head: "I haven't received any relevant news for the time being. ”

Zhao Feng nodded: "Okay." ”

"Keep an eye on Cao Cao's movements."

Tian Feng waved at Zhao Feng: "No! ”

With that, he turned and exited the chamber.

Time passed slowly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past half a month, the only good news for Zhao Feng is that the second batch of carrier pigeons has been trained.

With the first relevant experience, this batch of cultivated carrier pigeons can send information to the county.

Being able to report the news to Zhao Feng has already been successful several times.

Zhao Feng didn't know how far the maximum flight distance of the carrier pigeon could be, so he just encouraged them to continue to work hard to dig out the distance of the carrier pigeon.

However, the current carrier pigeons have been able to send news to each other in the county, so Zhao Feng also ordered to go down and start cultivating carrier pigeons between the counties.

As long as the time limit can be increased, even if it is only one day, for Zhao Feng, there will be an extra day to deal with emergencies.

In this way, there will be two more days.

Of course, considering the safety issue, Zhao Feng still retained the previous channel of passing on the news through the stagecoach.

this day.

Tian Feng walked into the conference hall and waved at Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord!" ”

"News from Yanzhou."

"Cao Cao personally led an army of 100,000 and Zhang Yan's army of 30,000 to send troops to Xuzhou to defeat Lu Bu."

"Cao Cao ordered Liu Biao to lead an army of 80,000, unite with Liu Bei's 20,000 army, and march out of Yangzhou to attack Yuan Shu!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he was slightly stunned.

According to Zhao Feng's initial prediction, Cao Cao should personally lead a large army to attack Yuan Shu.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually led the army in person, and together with Zhang Yan, went to attack Lu Bu.

In addition, in terms of Yuan Shu, he asked Liu Biao and Liu Bei to attack.

However, Zhao Feng thought about it carefully, Cao Cao's approach was also very reasonable.

After all, whether it is attacking Yuan Shu or attacking Lu Bu, the other side has a great probability that they will send troops together.

And from the geographical point of view, Cao Cao's attack on Lu Bu and Liu Biao's attack on Yuan Shu are both very reasonable.

No matter what you say, Yuan Shu is the emperor, and the influence on Liu Biao and Liu Bei, the Han clan relatives, is not less than Cao Cao.

Then Zhao Feng roughly estimated the strength of several sides.

When Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shao before, he personally led an army of 150,000.

After a big battle, no matter how many soldiers and horses Cao Cao left behind.

But with Cao Cao's character, even if he recruits new soldiers, he will definitely recruit more than 150,000 soldiers and horses.

Because it's not the first time Cao Cao has done this.

What's more, Cao Cao's territory was expanded, and there were not enough soldiers and horses, and he couldn't hold it at all.

In other words, Cao Cao left at least 50,000 troops near Xudu to defend Xu.

At the same time, these 50,000 troops can also resist the harassment of Yuan Shao's side.

Yuan Shao experienced a great defeat, although he ran to Yongzhou with the remnants of the army, but the total number of soldiers and horses was no more than 10,000 at most.

At the same time, because of the problem of military law of recruitment, Zhang Yan also replenished the army to 30,000, and Liu Bei also recruited more than 5,000 additional soldiers, adding the soldiers to 20,000.

Together, the total strength of several parties is also 230,000 troops!

As for Lu Bu, he originally did not have many troops, and when he fought with Zhang Yan, he had even fewer troops.

You must know that with Liu Bei leading an army of 20,000 to reinforce Zhang Yan, Lu Bu was already unable to win.

Although some Montenegrin soldiers were captured, the number was not too many.

It can be seen that the troops on Lu Bu's side will not be too much.

As for Yuan Shu's side, because he was far away from Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng didn't know the specific news.

But no matter how many soldiers Yuan Shu had, it was no longer particularly important.

Because Zhao Feng is clear.

Cao Cao's purpose was to personally lead the army and unite with Zhang Yanxian to eliminate Lu Bu.

Liu Biao and Liu Biao, although they also led an army of 100,000, but the purpose was more than to contain Yuan Shu's army.

As for whether Liu Biao and Liu Bei will do their best to crusade against Yuan Shu, it is estimated that Cao Cao does not have much hope.

After the analysis.

Zhao Feng muttered: "Since Cao Cao personally led the army to unite with Zhang Yan and go to crusade against Lu Bu. ”

"He also sent Liu Biao and Liu Bei to either attack or contain Yuan Shu."

"So how will Cao Cao treat us?"

After all, from Cao Cao's standpoint, Zhao Feng, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu are an alliance.

Because Zhao Feng and Lu Bu both married Yuan Shu.

So Zhao Feng's suspicion is justified.

Tian Feng pondered for a long time: "The specific situation is not very clear. ”

"But in terms of the situation."

"The troops that Cao Cao can borrow are nothing more than foreign tribes such as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei."

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment, and found that the power that Cao Cao could borrow seemed to be really only a few foreign clans.

After all, north of the Yellow River, basically Zhao Feng's territory, south of the Yellow River, except for part of Qingzhou is Lu Bu's, the rest of Yanzhou, Sili and other places have been occupied by Cao Cao.

In other words, unless Cao Cao personally came to attack Zhao Feng, he could only borrow the hands of foreign clans.

It's just that Zhao Feng thought that Cao Cao in the image was also more iron-blooded in his treatment of foreigners.

Cao Cao probably wouldn't borrow foreign troops.

It's just that Zhao Feng thought about it, as if this should be, but it can't stand.

Cao Cao's iron blood for foreign races is based on the premise of Cao Cao's own strength.

In Zhao Feng's image, Cao Cao was iron-blooded with foreign races, and it was only after defeating Yuan Shao that he occupied the northern land and bordered foreign tribes.

At that time, Cao Cao occupied two-thirds of the Han world, so he naturally had the confidence to be iron-blooded to foreign races.

Today's Cao Cao only occupies most of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Sili, as well as Nanyang County in Jingzhou.

It is still far from occupying two-thirds of the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it is still far from the land north of the Yellow River of Zhao Feng, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jingzhou, and the north of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou.

Therefore, it is very likely that Cao Cao went to a foreign tribe to borrow troops!
