Knowing that the military situation ahead was urgent, Zhao Feng repaired in Ye County for a day, then led the army and rushed to Hanoi County.

It took three days for Zhao Feng to lead the army and rush to Gongxian County, Hanoi County.

The current Gongxian is not the front line of the Great Army.

The front line of the army is in Huojia County, sixty miles south of Gongxian!

Because Hanoi County belongs to the Si Lig area, the city is relatively dense.

The reason why Huojia County is the front line is because the current army of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Man Chong, Tian Feng and others is attacking Xiuwu County.

It's just that because he is on the besieging side, the number of casualties is much greater than that of Yuan Shao.

After taking Linxi, Dangyin, Chaoge, Gongxian, and Ji counties in Hanoi County, because of the great losses, the army of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Man Chong, Tian Feng and others was somewhat unsustainable.

And Guo Jia, Zhang Wu, Zhou Cang, Wang Ping's army, because Yang Chou and others who killed Zhang Yang led the way.

Therefore, although the number of soldiers is less than that of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Man Chong, Tian Feng and others.

But the results of the battle were higher than the army of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Man Chong, Tian Feng and others.

Now it has taken Qinshui, Yixian, Heyang, Boxian, Wenxian, Yewang, and Pinggao.

Although there are Yang Chou and other leading parties, because the number of Guo Jia, Zhou Cang, Zhang Wu, and Wang Ping's army is less than that of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Man Chong, and Tian Feng.

So after taking seven county seats, they were also unable to attack.

That is to say, at present, Hanoi County, which is still under Yuan Shao's control, is only the four counties of Zhishuohuai County, Shanyang, Wude, and Xiuwu.

Of course, the reason why Yuan Shao lost so quickly.

Mainly, Hanoi County was originally under the control of Zhang Duong.

It's just that after Zhang Yang was killed, Yuan Shao used his fame to quickly gather Zhang Yang's former subordinates, and then took over Hanoi County in a hurry.

But because the time was too short, Yuan Shao could only shrink the army.

That's why there are such big results.

Otherwise, the situation may not be so rosy.

You must know that Zhao Yun's army is less than Yuan Shao's army.

If Yuan Shao refused to defend the city from city to city, Zhao Yun would not be able to take so many cities.

Of course, if that were the case, there would be no inability to attack after taking so many cities.

It is precisely because of Yuan Shao's contraction that it will lead to inability to attack.

After knowing all the details.

Zhao Feng looked at Lu Su and asked, "What does Zijing think about this?" ”

Lu Su pondered for a while: "I heard that Yuan Shao's side, there should be an army of 40,000 to 50,000 at present. ”

"Spread it evenly, Shanyang, Huaixian, Wude, and Xiuwu should each have 10,000 troops garrisoned."

"With the existing soldiers and horses of the two-way army, there are indeed some that cannot be taken."

You must know that the army on Guo Jia, Zhou Cang, Zhang Wu, and Wang Ping's side is less than 30,000.

After Zhang Yang fought and killed, Guo Jia still used tactics to win.

But after solving Zhang Yang, there were less than 20,000 troops left in that army.

Even with the existence of Yang Chou and these leading parties, after taking the seven county seats, it is estimated that there are now less than 15,000 soldiers and horses.

It is obviously impossible to take the county seat with 10,000 garrisons.

Similarly, the army on the side of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Man Chong, and Tian Feng is similar.

Although the total strength is more than 30,000, Zhao Yun's cavalry is not suitable for attacking the city.

Therefore, the army that can actually attack the city is more than 20,000.

After taking five county towns now, it is natural that there are heavy casualties.

Therefore, it is also unable to continue the siege.

In addition, these captured cities need to be garrisoned by a small number of soldiers.

So in fact, there will be fewer soldiers who can continue to attack the city.

Otherwise, there would be no such impasse.

And if you want to digest these cities, you need Zhao Feng to send county soldiers from the rear to garrison them.

Only then can all the soldiers stationed in these counties be vacated.

Zhao Feng nodded: "Huaixian, Xiuwu, Shanyang, Wude, the four county seats, even if each county has only 10,000 guards. ”

"We want to take it all, and we have to pay a lot of price."

"Does Zijing have a good plan?"

After all, the army brought by Zhao Feng was less than 40,000 soldiers, excluding the Huaxiong Division, which was not good at attacking cities.

Zhao Feng's new army was more than 30,000 people.

Combined with the attrition of the besieging side, it must be more than twice as large as the defending side.

In this way, it is difficult to say whether the entire Hanoi county can be taken.

And even if he wins the entire Hanoi County, Zhao Feng's side will suffer heavy losses!

Lu Su pondered for a while: "In this case, either Yuan Shao's army will be lured out of the city." ”

"And then a field battle outside the city."

"Our army has cavalry to help, and Yuan Shao's army will inevitably be defeated!"

"It's just that Yuan Shao shrank his troops to this dead county, obviously with the mentality of defending to the death."

"If you want to lure Yuan Shao's army out of the city, I'm afraid it's not easy."

After saying this, Zhao Feng frowned deeply.

Because of this, Zhao Feng had no choice but to Yuan Shao for a while.

Lu Su saw Zhao Feng's expression, and then changed his words: "However, Yuan Shao's current army has at least more than 40,000 people, and at most more than 50,000 people. ”

"And the grain taxes in the four counties of Huaixian, Shanyang, Xiuwu, and Wude will inevitably not be able to feed so many troops."

"Therefore, the lord only needs to wait patiently, because it won't be long before Yuan Shao will be short of food!"

"At that time, Yuan Shaojun will be defeated without a fight!"

When Zhao Feng heard this, he smiled and said, "What Zijing said makes sense. ”

"Hunger can starve them to death!"

Zhao Feng knew that this was the so-called confrontation of national strength.

Hanoi County is densely populated and densely populated because it is a Sili region, but even with the tax situation of Hanoi County, it cannot support an army of 50,000.

You must know that Zhang Yang only raised more than 30,000 troops at the beginning.

Of course, these armies can be mobilized at any time.

If you count the county soldiers from all over the country, it can almost feed about 45,000 troops.

However, with the situation in Huaixian, Shanyang, Wude, and Xiuwu, it is definitely not possible to feed so many people.

Seeing Zhao Feng smile.

Lu Su gave Zhao Feng a look: "But the lord can't take it lightly." ”

"Although the lord and Cao Cao reached an agreement, Cao Cao promised that he would never accept Yuan Shao's department."

"However, there are many ferries from Huaixian to Wude."

"And the lord was helping Tao Qian before, and he has been delaying Cao Cao."

"Perhaps, Cao Cao will also send some food to Yuan Shao to fund Yuan Shao to slow down the pace of the lord."

"This is not a violation of the agreement!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he groaned.

Lu Su was right.

Since the reinforcement of Yuan Shao's grain is not within the scope of cooperation.

With the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Cao Cao will give Yuan Shao some food.

What's more, Zhao Feng pit Cao Cao, and Cao Cao obviously wants to come back!
