Chapter 975: Jinan County Descends

Five days passed in a flash.

In the past five days, Liu Bei occasionally came to Zhao Feng's military camp, but he would send people every day.

Through the news reported by the people who Zhao Feng was watching, the people sent by Liu Bei were secretly investigating some news.

At least the extra 5,000 cavalry under Huaxiong has been detected by Liu Bei.

Of course, Zhao Feng also sent people to investigate Liu Bei's garrison in the name of communication.

According to the summary of personnel reports, Liu Bei's garrison was less than 15,000 people.

this day.

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

"Besiege Licheng and Zhu A, send news that Licheng County Order and Zhu A County Order have surrendered."

"The surrender has been completed!"

Zhao Feng smiled: "Sure enough, it's good news, so that we can have five thousand more soldiers!" ”

"You can let them come to Yuling for reinforcements and put pressure on Liu Bei."

"It can also allow them to continue to divide their troops and go to reinforce the other troops besieging the county seat, so as to increase the pressure on the target county order!"

Then he asked by the way: "Zijing thinks which method is beneficial to us?" ”

Lu Su pondered for a moment: "Now that the past five days have passed, Liu Bei has not made any other changes, and there will be no war in Yuling for the time being." ”

"We should let these 5,000 soldiers, divided into four routes, go to besiege four other county towns."

"According to the principle of proximity to the mausoleum, let these 5,000 soldiers go to Zouping, Liangzou, Taixian, and Tugu for reinforcements."

"Once there is a war in Yuling, you can also send the troops of General Zhang and General Wen to come for reinforcements!"

"After all, we don't know much about the actual combat strength of these 5,000 soldiers."

Zhao Feng nodded: "Okay, just deal with it according to what Zijing said." ”

Then he suddenly asked: "By the way, Licheng and Zhu'a, how many soldiers are there?" ”

Lu Su didn't think much about it, and replied directly: "There are more than 1,500 Montenegrin military and county soldiers in total. ”

"The number is not large, and it is the local county order who voluntarily surrendered, so these county soldiers let them continue to be stationed in the local area."

"If the lord wants to replace some of the defenders, he can send an order to the captain of King Anping to disperse and recruit some people."

If it was Zhao Feng's own army, there was no need for Zhao Feng to give a new order, they would consciously disperse these county soldiers and then incorporate a part of them.

In this way, among the county soldiers guarding the city, there are also Zhao Feng's own soldiers, which can avoid chaos.

And because it's only a small number of pawns, it won't have much impact on the original part.

The generals who surrendered this time were the captains of King Anping, and they had been reasonably and legally mixed with sand by Zhao Feng before, so they naturally would not take the initiative to continue to mix in sand to reduce the combat capability of the troops.

However, if Zhao Feng gave the order, it would be a different matter.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "On average, there are more than seven hundred and seventy county soldiers in each county. ”

"In this way, let King Anping's lieutenant department be recruited into five hundred people each."

"After that, the Qinghe Wang Captain's Department, and the Hejian Wang's Captain's Department, the same is true!"

As soon as Lu Su heard it, he knew that Zhao Feng was going to continue to mix in the sand.

This has a great impact on the loyalty of the royal garrison.

In the future, if these princes want to make trouble, these garrisons of the former Montenegrin Army may directly rebel.

Then he waved at Zhao Feng: "No! ”

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

Shortly after Lu Su left.

Xu Huang and Hua Xiong teamed up to enter the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed their hands to Zhao Feng: "See the lord!" ”

Zhao Feng said with a smile: "The two of you have joined forces, it seems that there is something important!" ”

Hua Xiong bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "But there is something important!" ”

"General Xu and I believe that with the current situation of our army, we can completely defeat Liu Bei's fifteen-thousand-strong army!"

"Once our army defeats Liu Bei's 15,000-strong army, we will be able to cut off the idea of county orders."

"In this way, within three or five days, Jinan County will all surrender!"

Zhao Feng knew what Hua Xiong and Xu Huang meant.

As generals, they think about winning or losing the war.

Liu Bei had an army of 20,000 before, and the number of troops on Zhao Feng's side was not much different, so he naturally would not make such a suggestion without the certainty of victory.

Now Liu Bei's army, after inquiries from all sides, can confirm that there are less than 15,000 people.

And Zhao Feng's army in Yuling already had 26,000 soldiers and horses, far exceeding Liu Bei's army of more than 10,000 people.

Therefore, even if Zhao Feng's side will be at a disadvantage in terms of general combat, the total strength is too much better than Liu Bei, and Xu Huang and Hua Xiong are already sure of victory, so they specially came over to ask for battle.

But Xu Huang and Hua Xiong didn't understand Zhao Feng's thoughts.

After all, it is impossible for Zhao Feng to directly say that Liu Bei will leave Cao Cao sooner or later in the future, and there is a great possibility that he will come to take refuge in himself.

This is no longer explained by the art of astrology, it is simply omniscient and omnipotent.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "For the three brothers Liu Bei, I have other arrangements. ”

"As long as Liu Bei doesn't do anything to us, we can just spend it like this."

"Besides, Liu Bei led his troops to leave Xi County, and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army was naturally inferior to Lu Bu's army."

"It won't be long before Lu Bu will seize the opportunity to defeat Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army."

"We can still achieve our strategic goals, so why bother to fight Liu Bei?"

Xu Huang bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "The last general is not thoughtful, and I hope that the lord will not blame him!" ”

Hua Xiong followed with a hand: "The last general knows!" ”

Zhao Feng smiled: "Knowing and thinking, this is a good thing, I naturally don't blame you." ”

"Besides, if I don't have a special arrangement, your thoughts are not wrong."

"Don't worry, the battlefield is indispensable!"

The end of the Han Dynasty was a hierarchical era, and it was already commendable for people like Hua Xiong and Xu Huang to ask for war.

Under normal circumstances, the leading generals rarely ask for battle.

After all, it is not only necessary to ensure that the war is won, but also to make a military order.

And once the military order is issued, except for Hua Xiong and Xu Huang's troops, they are free to dispatch, and Zhao Feng's troops will not participate in the war.

Hua Xiong and Xu Huang bowed their hands to Zhao Feng: "No! ”

"The last general will retire."

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

In fact, if Zhao Feng hadn't considered that Liu Bei had a great possibility, he would have broken away from Cao Cao and come north to take refuge in himself.

Zhao Feng really wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate Liu Bei!

After all, the opportunity is rare.

just thought that Liu Bei escaped and was considered first-class, even Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops pursued and killed Liu Bei, and Liu Bei could successfully escape.

Even if Zhao Feng could destroy Liu Bei's army, he was not sure to kill Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

So Zhao Feng still chose to give up.

After all, once a war starts against Liu Bei, maybe Liu Bei will follow Cao Cao with all his heart.

Then Cao Cao's power will be even more terrifying.

Zhao Feng didn't dare to gamble at all!
