Chapter 802: The Matter of Xuzhou (4)
After Zhao Feng returned to the camp, he didn't have time to discuss with Cui Yan how to discuss in detail with Cao Cao's envoy.
Guan Hai walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi!" ”
"The guards have come to report that one of the potter's retinue has just ridden out of the barracks."
The purpose of the potter's coming here is what Zhao Feng had analyzed before.
One is to monitor yourself.
The second is to exchange information through the safe route discovered by Tao Qian.
This Zhao Feng had just met with Cao Cao.
The potter naturally wanted to convey the news to Tao Qian.
However, for Zhao Feng, Tao Qian is the benefit of two million stone grains.
And Zhao Feng is for Tao Qian, it is about the whole of Xuzhou.
Therefore, Zhao Feng didn't care at all about the pottery merchant sending someone back the news.
Maybe Tao Qian will increase his efforts to win over Zhao Feng after knowing this.
In other words, perhaps because of this, Zhao Feng can get more benefits.
Zhao Feng nodded: "I know." ”
"If it's okay, go down and rest."
Guan Hai arched his hand: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
A quarter of an hour later.
A guard ran into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”
"Outside the camp, a person claiming to be sent by Cao Cao to discuss the details came to ask for a meeting!"
Zhao Feng was more curious about this person who didn't say his name.
Because Cao Cao at this time, it seems that there are not many strategists under him.
However, Cao Cao would definitely not send important people to discuss such a matter.
After all, the two sides are very close, and if they can't talk, they can go back to the Cao Jun camp to ask.
So Zhao Feng thought that maybe he was just an unknown little person.
Then he muttered for a while: "Invite someone in." ”
"Then take it to Master Cui's tent!"
The guard arched his hand: "Wow! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
Wait for the guards to leave.
Zhao Feng looked at Cui Yan: "Brother Ji Qi, the matter of discussing the details will be left to you." ”
"I only have one point, things have to be settled, but there is also time to delay."
Cui Yan waved at Zhao Feng: "Oh! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
Since the person sent by Cao Cao did not specify the name.
It was impossible for Zhao Feng to meet him directly.
If it is a certain awesome character, Zhao Feng is still interested in meeting it.
If it was an ordinary person, Zhao Feng would not be interested at all.
Therefore, you can let Cui Yan talk about it first.
Anyway, after the two sides meet, they will definitely report their own home.
When the time comes, if it is a certain bull, it will not be too late for Zhao Feng to say goodbye.
If it was just a small person, Zhao Feng would not bother to pass it on.
At most, after the matter was discussed, he would meet with the people sent by Cao Cao.
Time passes slowly.
Three days later.
Cao Cao was stationed in the large camp between Zhao Feng and Tao Qian, and increased his troops by 20,000.
At the first meeting, Cao Cao had an army of about 20,000, and then about 10,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 people came that day.
At the second meeting, Zhao Feng changed from more than 27,000 to more than 39,000.
In this way, Cao Cao could only continue to increase his troops in order to contain the troops on Zhao Feng's side.
Otherwise, if there are too few soldiers, it will not be able to contain it at all.
Although the two sides are still negotiating an agreement, it is impossible for the two sides to completely let go of their prejudices until the agreement is completed.
As for why it took three days.
This shows that the 20,000 troops newly sent by Cao Cao were requisitioned from other places.
Zhao Feng didn't care about this.
Even if Cao Cao had an army of 50,000 here, he would not pose much of a threat to himself.
After all, Cao Cao's military camp was built between Zhao Feng's military camp and Tan County.
Cao Cao really wanted to lead his troops to attack Da Zhao Feng.
That Tao Qian would inevitably attack Cao Cao from behind.
Another five days passed.
this day.
A sentry rode into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”
"My subordinates found out that early this morning, Cao Cao led an army of 10,000 and attacked Tan County!"
Zhao Feng pondered for a while: "I know." ”
"Go down and rest for a while, and then probe again!"
The sentry arched his hand: "Wow! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
When Zhao Feng heard the news, he felt that Cao Cao was indeed very powerful.
He built the military camp between himself and Tan County, which has a deep meaning.
Because in this way, the contact between Tao Qian and Zhao Feng can be blocked, and then people can be sent to spread rumors everywhere to affect the relationship between Zhao Feng and Tao Qian.
It can also let Cao Cao's army contain Zhao Feng's army on the spot.
In addition, while containing each other, Cao Cao can still send troops to attack Tanxian.
In this way, it turned from Zhao Feng being restraining Cao Cao to Cao Cao being restraining Zhao Feng.
In addition, now that the two sides are negotiating Yuan Shao's affairs, they will definitely not fight each other.
And as time went on, the details of the content of the agreement became more and more discussed.
At that time, the strength that Cao Cao used to contain Zhao Feng's army could also be slowly reduced.
For example, now, Cao Cao used 10,000 troops to attack Tan County.
Then the remaining 40,000 or 50,000 troops are used to contain each other with Zhao Feng.
And as time went on, and the trust between the two sides deepened, Cao Cao could send an army of 20,000 to attack Tanxian.
Then use an army of 30,000 or 40,000 to contain Zhao Feng's army.
And that's just the camp.
To know.
Cao Cao could have led an army of 100,000 to attack Jizhou before.
Although the offensive was unsuccessful.
But this shows that Cao Cao had at least 100,000 troops.
And Zhao Feng has hoarded 50,000 or 60,000 troops here, so naturally there are 40,000 or 50,000 troops attacking several other city gates in Tan County.
On average, the army attacking the city gate of Tanxian County was about 15,000 people.
Therefore, in this way, Cao Cao can still attack Tan County according to the original plan!
Think about these things clearly.
Zhao Feng found that in a situation like this, he did not carry Tian Feng, Guo Jia and others, and he did suffer some losses.
Because Cui Yan didn't find anything about this, just like Zhao Feng.
This shows that Cui Yan's intelligence is less than ninety, and in terms of strategy, he is indeed inferior to Tian Feng, Guo Jia and others.
In other words, Cui Yan may be more suitable for internal affairs.
However, relatively speaking, the war on the Ye County side is more important than Zhao Feng's side.
Therefore, Tian Feng stayed in Ye County and assisted Zhao Yun's arrangement, which was not wrong.
It's just that Zhao Feng feels that there are still too few of his top strategists.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng felt that he still needed to tap some talents.
Then he turned his head to look at Xiong Da: "Summoning the underground intelligence organizations in Jingzhou and Yangzhou." ”
"We must increase our efforts to find Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Lu Su, Zhou Tai and others!"
"In addition, explore a place called Wollongong in Jingzhou, and send someone over there as soon as possible!"
Xiong Dayi arched his hand: "Wow! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
