Chapter 374: Assault on the Central Plains

When Xu Chu threw Xu Yu under the hall, Qin Feng didn't know what was going on. When he knew the cause and effect, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Ziyuan and I are old friends, and what he said is just a joke, and it should not be taken seriously." ”

Xu You was originally panicked, for fear of being beheaded by Qin Feng, but when he heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and immediately got up on the ground, saying that he would accuse Xu Chu of being rude in front of Qin Feng.

Who knew that Qin Feng waved his hand to stop him from speaking, and said: "In the management of government affairs, grain and grass are the top priority, Mr. Ziyuan will go to the Yecheng granary to take care of it, count the number every day, and don't be careless." Let's go. ”

Grain and grass are important, but the shepherd is the role of Bi Ma Wen. Xu You was dissatisfied when he heard this, but Xu Chu on the side was eyeing him, and he agreed because he was afraid. secretly scolded Qin Zijin for looking generous, but in fact, he was despicable and shameless to cross the river and tear down the bridge, so he went to office with a lot of dissatisfaction.

Xu Yu just left with dissatisfaction on the front foot, and the military quartet on the back foot came to ask for a meeting.

The four-person group of military advisors is Qin Feng's super brain, and when he heard that the military advisors asked to see him, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly summoned them.

It turned out that the four-person group of military divisions had several meetings in the past few days, and worked out a new opportunity for Qin Feng Shili to enter the army, if it succeeded, it could be determined, and this matter should be carried out as soon as possible. So when the final discussion took shape, they hurried to the lord to consult.

"What! Troops to Gunzhou! Qin Feng was taken aback, in the past six months, he had expanded from one county to three states, and his territory had expanded more than twenty times. In his opinion, at this time, military operations should be stopped, local development should be stabilized, and the balloon should not be blown too full and blown up!

Other than that. He felt that he was now very superior to the other princes, and he should take it step by step. Steady and steady, don't give anyone else any chance.

Thereupon. He roughly worded his meaning and informed the military advisors.

Xu Shu said: "What the lord said is very reasonable, but the lord has kindness and the people of the north, so even if he is newly acquired and vast, he does not have to worry about local stability. In addition, Li Wei of Chang'an and Guo Yan of Luoyang were at odds, and now there is news that the soldiers and horses of both sides have moved. ”

Tian Feng answered: "Now Cao Cao and Liu Bei are fighting and Xiao Pei. The rear is empty, and it is the time to use the troops. The lord should immediately send out the troops and officers to take the first line of Puyang, Chenliu and Runan in Dongjun. Then use the elite trapping army to quickly attack Xuchang. ”

Fu Zhu stroked his beard and smiled: "If everything goes well, you can take Xuchang before winter." Cao Cao's foundation was lost, and there was nowhere to raise food and troops in winter, and he would undoubtedly be defeated. And Liu Bei used trickery to get Beihai and Xuzhou, and people's hearts fluctuated. Take advantage of the situation. ”

"So, it was decided. If Li Dao and Guo Yan really fight, the lord can wave his army to welcome the court of the Son of Heaven. Kuang Fu Han Room ....... Xun Yu said.

Kuang Fu Han Room! Qin Feng had already been moved by the advice of the military advisors, but he would never go to help any bullshit man's room. He said worriedly: "In the battle with Yuan Shao, our army lost many soldiers and horses. The states need to garrison Liliang. For a time, it was impossible to mobilize troops. Our army currently has 60,000 troops, and together with the surrendered troops in Jizhou, it is only 80,000. Is this a little less forced? ”

"The lord doesn't have to worry too much, the Cao army only has 80,000 regular combat troops. And inferior to our army in terms of equipment, training. Frustrated said.

Xu Shu said: "What the frustrated army division said is very true, in addition, our army has 10,000 heavy cavalry and 5,000 light cavalry, and if you use it well, Cao's army will not be able to resist our army." ”

Tian Feng followed and said: "Cao Cao's foundation is in Gunzhou, and he moved his administrative office to Xuchang in order to stabilize the newly acquired Yuzhou. ”

"Cao Mengde ruled Yuzhou for less than a year, and his foundation is unstable, if he can take Chen Liu, it will not be a problem to conquer Yuzhou." Xun Yu zuihou said.

Qin Feng knew that his military talent was not as good as these heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he often reminded himself to listen to the words of the military advisor. Now that the four military advisors have said that it is feasible, he will no longer hesitate. In this regard, he said: "In this case, immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses, and enter the officers and ......." ”

The strategic goal of the Qin army was to connect Puyang, Chenliu, and Runan from north to south to form a line, which could divide Cao Cao's territory into two. Due to the fact that Cao Jun and Liu Beijun were at war with Xiao Pei, the rear was empty, and even if he immediately returned to the army to rescue, the Qin army could easily take down half of the states and counties where he defended the emptiness.

When the 80,000 Qin troops gathered on the north bank of the Yellow River, Cao's Tanma was anxious to spread the news to Xiaopei in Xuzhou. When the Qin army crossed the Yellow River and entered Puyang, Cao's exploration horses crashed into Cao's Dazhai under Xiaopei City.

"Report ......, lord, 100,000 urgent military information!" Tanma had collapsed at this time, handed over the bamboo tube, and was carried out by Cao Cao's own soldiers.

"One hundred thousand urgent!" Cao Cao was frightened, so he opened the bamboo tube and took out a roll of bamboo slips. After a breath, his face changed dramatically. Like a cat whose tail has been trampled on, it is like an ant on a hot pot whirling around in the hall. Hurriedly said: "Fengxiao, Zhongde, half a month ago, Qin Feng conquered Yecheng and Yuan Benchu died. He raised 80,000 troops and had already crossed the Yellow River! ”

"What!" Cheng Yu was shocked and said, "Qin Zijin actually broke through Yecheng so quickly? ”

"It was Xu Yu who betrayed the Lord and dedicated the ...... of the city gate." Cao Cao's face was dark, his eyes were squinting, and the corners of his eyes were jumping. I knew many years ago that Xu You, this kid was not a thing, and now he finally pitted Yuan Benchu.

In Cao Cao's eyes, Qin Feng was the biggest enemy. If Qin Feng takes Jizhou, then Cao Cao's northern border will always be shrouded in the front of the Qin army. Therefore, he planned that when Yuan Shao could still contain Qin Feng's forces, he would take the opportunity to take Qingxu Erzhou, so that he could unify the Central Plains and compete with Qin Feng, who ruled the northern land.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were both optimistic about this military operation, but no one expected that Yuan Shao would be defeated so quickly. And Qin Feng was ruthless enough, and within three days of eliminating Yuan Shaoshili, he crossed the Yellow River with all his troops and horses to attack Gunzhou.

Yuan Shao, this idiot! Cao Cao scolded in his heart, he thought that how could Yuan Shao survive this winter, winter is not conducive to the use of soldiers, so it can be delayed until the beginning of spring next year. "Let's go back to the army." Cao Cao sighed.

After thinking about it, Cheng Yu said: "Send an envoy to reconcile with Liu Bei, he used trickery to get Beihai and Xuzhou, and the people under his rule are unstable, he will definitely agree to reconcile." After returning to the army in Gunzhou, Qin Zijin is now also the end of the strong crossbow, he saw that the rear of the lord was empty, so he took the opportunity to enter the army, if our army returned to help, just guard the city, and wait until the winter arrives after the month, Qin Feng will definitely retreat. ”

Cao Cao thought so, so he said to Guo Jia, who bowed his head and was silent: "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

"No!" Guo Jia's eyes flickered, and he said categorically.

Cao Cao's face suddenly darkened, and he said unhappily: "Fengxiao, do you want to watch Qin Feng take down my foundation!" ”

Guo Jia bowed his hand and said: "Feng Xiao doesn't dare, but the lord has never thought that the rear of our army is empty, and the Qin army can easily take the county as a stronghold." The Qin army has a strong cavalry corps, and most of the Central Plains are Pingchuan, if Qin Feng uses cavalry to sneak attack Xuchang....... Even if our army comes back to help, it will be too late. ”

Xuchang is Cao Cao's base camp, and if it is taken by Qin Feng, Cao Cao will be finished. Cao Cao's heart was like soup, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said in a deep voice: "If Xuchang is broken, my foundation will be broken, this is ...... How is it good. ”

Guo Jiajian's eyebrows were cold, his delicate face revealed murderous intent, and Sen Ran said: "The lord should send troops to Qingzhou and go north." ”

North! Regardless of the inheritance! However, Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia was talented, and he would never make such a mediocre move, and there must be a follow-up move. So his eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "What about after that?" ”

Guo Jia sneered: "Qin Zijin broke the foundation of the lord, and the lord crossed the river from the Gaotang ferry and entered Jizhou, breaking the foundation of Qin Feng. ”

Cao Cao was known as a military strategist in later generations and had his own unique military talents. Hearing this, he knew his intentions, and his eyes burst into a ball of light, and he said in a deep voice: "Siege Wei to save Zhao!" ”

"Not bad!" Guo Jia shook his sleeves and said in a resolute voice: "The subordinates watch Qin Zijin as a person, he loves the people like a son, and shows the world with righteousness." He will not sit idly by and watch his possessions be invaded by our army, and he will definitely lead his army back. In this way, our army can take the initiative without scruples in the territory of the other side, advance and retreat freely. ”

Others don't know him Qin Zijin, how can I not know, he loves the people like a fart, he is good at scheming, two-faced and three-stabbed, the face is good and evil, killing people without seeing blood, his benevolence and righteousness are all hypocrisy, hypocrisy! Cao Cao scolded secretly, and pondered about it.

Since ancient times, most of the sides that entered the enemy-occupied areas and took the initiative to attack were dominant, and even if they were defeated, they wreaked havoc on the enemy's territory, destroyed production, burned, killed and looted, and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's development. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the princes of all sides attacked each other, accustomed to destroying the enemy's territory. Fighting to feed war, burning and looting wherever they went, so after decades of melee, the population of the people has plummeted by tens of millions.

Cao Cao understood this truth very well, ignited the flames of war on the opponent's territory, wreaked havoc and then retreated strategically, not to mention the seized money and food, he could also leave Qin Feng with a mess and prevent his development, why not. He said to this: "Will Qin Feng really return to the aid territory?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Qin Zijin's elite soldiers and generals are all in Gunzhou, and his territory is also empty. However, the north, especially Jizhou, is rich, not comparable to Gunzhou and Yuzhou, and he will definitely make the right choice with his shrewdness. Speaking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said: "If he doesn't come back, he occupies Gunzhou, and the lord will occupy Jizhou, and if he occupies Yuzhou, the lord will occupy the state." It is also advisable to be so isolated and have no soldiers and horses. The lord stationed troops at the White Horse Ferry and the Gaotang Ferry. Confronted Qin Zijin across the river. At that time, the lord had a rich land of three states, but Qin Zijin became two states, so why not do it? ”

Cao Cao suddenly daxiao, stroked his beard and shook his hand: "What Feng Xiao said is very true, if Qin Zijin doesn't come back to help...... He looked fierce and said, "I will exchange territories with him, so what's the matter!" He heard that Qin Zijin had several wives who were as beautiful as flowers, and he said that he would fight down as soon as possible and enjoy them for a while longer. That Qin Zijin is an amorous seed, and then exchange his family for his own family members.

Therefore, the wife Cao was impatient and said, "Zhongde, you immediately repair a letter and send it to Xiaopei in person to meet Liu Bei." Tell him that the two sides should stop fighting, and if not, I will do everything in my power to destroy them first! If you get Qingzhou Xuzhou, you can also be the foundation. ”

Cheng Yu quickly set off and went to Xiaopei. (To be continued......)
