Qin Feng marched into the army, and Cao Cao sued for peace. After Liu Bei got the news, he summoned Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others to discuss.

All the strategists agreed that Liu Bei's new takeover of Beihai and Xuzhou was unstable and that Cao Cao should be promised a truce. Stabilize the place, save liliang, and wait and watch the battle between Qin Feng and Cao Cao. If Qin Zijin fails, he will take the opportunity to grab his territory in the north. If Qin Zijin wins, he will send troops to grab Cao Cao's territory.

This idea is quite good, the clam and crane compete with each other, and the fisherman profits, this kind of thing is Liu Bei's favorite. So he pretended to be a man and agreed to a truce with Cao Cao with the righteousness of the Han family.

After Cao Cao got the reply, he immediately waved his army north, broke the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in Jinan, Qingzhou, gathered more than 20,000 elite people, and used Jinan as a base to occupy the Qingzhou boundary west of the Beihai, and divided Qingzhou equally with Liu Bei. On this 100,000 troops, Chen soldiers on the south bank of the Yellow River prepared to cross the river.

It is said that Qin Feng marched into Puyang, Gunzhou, Cao Cao's son, Cao Cao's son, the general was full of favor with forbidden strategists, and Liu Ye's strategy was to use the garrison of Gunzhou to Puyang to resist stubbornly, and even Qin Feng could not conquer the largest city in the eastern county of Gunzhou for many days.

This city guards the official ferry crossing, and it is inevitable that it will be cut off, and it cannot be ignored. Qin Feng's military advisors, who have always been upright and upright, had no choice but to come up with a poisonous plan, that is, to dig a canal with tens of thousands of troops and divert the water of the Yellow River to pour Puyang. Since ancient times, water and fire have been ruthless, and the people of Puyang must die for life, but the military advisors can no longer scruple too much.

As a result, Qin Feng's army of 80,000 began to dig channels, more than ten miles a day, one zhang deep in two days, and the channels were formed in three days.

In the desolate wilderness, Qin Feng led the crowd to station on horses and high places. It was densely surrounded by elite soldiers to protect it. Beneath his feet was a formed ditch. In the distance of the ditch is the water of the Yellow River. The natural environment of the Eastern Han Dynasty is good, and the water of the Yellow River is much larger than that of later generations.

At this time, he rode alone. It was Gao Kan who was in charge of digging the ditch. When he came to a nearby place, he rolled his saddle and dismounted, and shouted: "Lord Qiqi, everything is ready, whether to break the Yellow River now!" ”

The Yellow River burst, the lives were devastated, and there was no escape in a radius of 100 miles under the flooding. Qin Fengxin said that as soon as the Yellow River burst, his reputation would drop by more than ten percentage points, so he hesitated.

Tian Feng, who was upright behind him, said: "Lord." Thinking about it, at this moment, Cao Cao's army was already on the way back to help. Most of the Cao army in Gunzhou was in Puyang, and after this battle, the subsequent battle would be easy. If the lord can't bear it, let Tian Feng do it for him! ”

Tian Feng is loyal to the Lord, so he wants to take the infamy of slaughtering the common people on behalf of the lord.

Everyone was waiting for Qin Feng's decision, and his words could determine the lives of millions of living beings within Puyang.

Qin Feng finally decided to break the Yellow River, although he was very reluctant. But he knew very well in his heart that if he was merciful at this moment, he would face more dangerous battles in the future. A million people compared to the elimination of Cao Cao, the latter is the most important. If Cao Cao rises, there will be a big war between the two sides for ten or even decades, so how many people will die? It's going to be a lot more dead than it is now.

The people of the future will objectively evaluate the events of today. Qin Feng comforted himself. This is the order to break the gap.

At this moment, a ride scout. Coming from the dust.

"Report ......, lord! Cao Jun 100,000. Chen Bing Qingzhou Linji Ferry, the pioneer crossed the river, occupied Gaotang Port, and was heading to the plain! The scout rolled his saddle and dismounted.

Xun Yu's mind was extremely fast, his face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Siege Wei to save Zhao!" ”

Xu Shu's face turned pale and said, "Cao Cao actually ignored his foundation and waved his army north!" This person is so ruthless! ”

"Cao Cao is in the game, he would never have thought of this kind of self-cutting arm, someone must have been watching coldly, so he came up with this vicious and cruel trick!" Frustrated said.

It's like two people fighting, regardless of the fists on their bodies, they just blindly hit the opponent, beat the opponent to death, and they also left a cripple, not a cripple!

The members of the four-member group of military advisors are all upright and upright people, so they neglected this poisonous plan to hurt others and hurt themselves. On this field, under the waiting of Qin Feng's little face white, a meeting was held.

Zuihou Tian Feng came out and said: "Lord, this plan is insidious. If the lord ignores the rear, then the commander of the Cao army drove straight into the north, although the lord can also take Gunzhou and Yuzhou, but the loss is greater than the gain. If the lord comes to help, the crisis in Cao's homeland will be lifted immediately, and the flames of war will be ignited in the lord's territory. ”

Xu Shu said: "With Cao Cao's ability to use such a vicious strategy, he will definitely use war to feed the war, so that most of Jizhou will be destroyed in the war." The lord will spend more time combing the territory and restoring the development of the people. ”

"I look at Cao Mengde as a person, and I must not be able to think of such a plan. Those who come up with this plan are insidious and vicious, and they will be punished by heaven! Xun Yu said.

It must have been Guo Jia's idea, and he deserved not to live to be old. Qin Feng couldn't help but curse viciously in his heart. However, now that these are all in vain, it will be necessary to think of a plan quickly. He was anxious, but he remembered that the commander should not panic, the commander was in chaos, the three armies were panicked, their morale was completely lost, and the army was defeated like a mountain. He forced himself to calm down and said: "He has a good plan, and I have a wall ladder." You don't need to panic, it will take time for the other side to enter the army, and we need to think of a proper countermeasure. ”

Seeing that the lord was calm and calm, the military advisors were full of admiration, so they gathered together and discussed with each other in the exchange.

Qin Feng's face was calm, and gongs and drums were already ringing in his heart. He actually wanted to retreat, and he wanted to retreat immediately, so he met Cao's army in the east of Jizhou and drove Cao Cao back to the south bank of the Yellow River. "After that, I will work hard to develop internal affairs, and then I will fight the army, and when the time comes, I will see who can still attack the rear of the master!" He thought so.

Half an hour later, the four-man military division finally came up with a set of combat plans.

Xu Shu, as a representative, first said: "My lord, first of all, we should order Pingyuan County, Qinghe County, and Leling County in the southeast of Jizhou to withdraw their garrisons and horses and lure the enemy deep. The evacuated garrison soldiers and horses were concentrated in Anping County, Hejian County, and Bohai County to defend the city. Secondly, the main army was divided into two routes, all the way ashore from the Baima Ferry, and approached Cao's army along the river, cutting off the possibility of its rapid attack on Yecheng. The other way crosses Puyang. Just crossed the river at Linji Ferry to cut off the back road of Cao's army, and rushed to cross the Yellow River to recapture Gaotang Ferry. ”

Xun Yu stroked his beard and said, "If it goes well." At the cost of sacrificing the southeast of Jizhou, the Cao army was surrounded and annihilated in Jizhou. ”

Frustrated and said, "If it doesn't go well." Cao Jun only flicked a shot, and he would get enough time to return to help, and our army's rush attack on Jihua in Gunzhou would come to an end. ”

"What a false shot!" Qin Feng has the means to play people, and he is a little unenthusiastic when he plays with military advisors, so he asks if he is interested in these military tricks.

Tian Feng said: "If the enemy has reinforcements, it will be a feint, if the enemy has no reinforcements, it can become a strong attack." I'm afraid that Cao Cao is waiting for the action of our army. If our army forcibly attacked Puyang and then moved towards Chenliu, Cao Cao would attack Jizhou with all his might. If our army comes back, he will have enough time to come back. Therefore, when our army turns back to attack Gunzhou, it will face Cao Cao's main force, and the rapid attack of Jihua will end. ”

"I didn't expect that Cao Cao's ability to use soldiers would be like this." Xu Shu sighed.

"My lord. It's all Tian Feng's fault, if you save for a period of time, there will be no such thing as wasting troops. Tian Feng confessed.

Xun Yu hurriedly mentioned him to justify; "Lord, the fault is not Tian Feng's military division. Our army sent troops. It's not useless. It was our army that came to Gongzhou, and Cao Cao's attack on Jihua in Xuzhou failed. Liu Bei was given time to breathe, and he would definitely become Cao Cao's mortal enemy in the Central Plains in the future. And so it goes. At the beginning, he sat on the north bank of the Yellow River and watched the planning of the melee in the Central Plains. in order to present it perfectly. ”

"Xun Yu's military division is very wishful, my lord has a unified north. And the Central Plains Cao Cao. Liu Bei, Li Dao and Guo Yan poured into each other. To the south of them, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian are eyeing each other. In the future, when they are exhausted, the lord will wave his army south, and the great cause will be accomplished! Frustration followed.

The military advisors thought a lot and said a lot. In Qin Feng's opinion, there has been no loss in this dispatch so far, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a military exercise, and the army has come out to practice." ”

War game! The four top military advisors were a little puzzled, and hurriedly consulted the lord, and then suddenly realized. I thought that this military exercise was good, that it would enable the army to gain some experience in actual combat, and that it should be popularized among the troops in the future.

So, Qin Feng took Dian Wei, Xu Chu and 20,000 troops to stay on the south bank of the Yellow River. Xu Shu led Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and 50,000 people to return to Jiangbei, and led the cavalry troops to rush to the aid of Pingyuan County.

If Cao Cao really took advantage of the return of his army to help, and also withdrew the soldiers and horses from the plain to aid Gunzhou, then Jihua who attacked Gunzhou would be stopped. Qin Feng led the troops to harm Cao Cao's army, which crossed the river back and forth, and returned to the north to develop with peace of mind.

If Cao Cao did not come back to help, Qin Feng would force his way across the Yellow River and copy his back road, thus encircling and annihilating Cao Cao's main force in Jizhou.

……

On the bank of the Yellow River in Jinan County, Cao Jun's camp.

"Haha......, Feng Xiao is a good plan, Qin Zi has come back to help, and my foundation is worry-free!" Cao Cao daxiao, so he sent the information from Tanma and handed it to Guo Jia and Cheng Yu to see.

It turned out that Cao Cao, under Guo Jia's design, only sent half of his men to cross the river, and the other half was still watching in Jinan. Now that Qin Feng has divided his troops and the troops on the south bank of the river are weakened, he can rush back to Gunzhou to resist and relieve the danger of Gunzhou.

Guo Jia looked at the information and said with a smile: "Lord, I should immediately order General Xiahoudun to retreat, and only take the Linji ferry, although it is far away from the ferry in Puyang, it is very safe." ”

Cao Cao smiled heartily, and said in his heart that Zijin is a virtuous brother, do you think that being a brother is the idiot at the beginning. You want to lead the troops and horses to take the opportunity to attack when our army returns to the shore, and you will leave after you get the advantage, you are really a good calculation. He smiled and said, "Fengxiao, you don't know." Since ancient times, it has been said that thieves do not go empty, and Qin Zijin is also this problem, he stayed on the south bank because his advance this time was almost fruitless. He couldn't get over it psychologically, and he wanted to fight me once, and then leave after getting cheap. ”

"So......." Cao Cao walked around twice and said: "Just order Xiahoudun to go ashore at the Puyang Dunqiu ferry, if what I expect is good, Qin Feng will definitely ambush at the ferry and attack while our army is powerless to go ashore." We will plan and calculate, and I will lead the soldiers and horses here to copy the back road against the ambush. ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "The lord's plan is feasible. ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "It's just that the scouts of the Qin army are as annoying as flies, how can we hide the ears and eyes of these Qin troops?" ”

Guo Jia smiled and said, "This matter is too easy, just ...... like this." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Feng Xiaozhen is my son Fang Ye!" ”

Therefore, Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun to withdraw from the plain and lead his troops to the Dunqiu ferry to go ashore. On the other hand, 5,000 people from nearby counties were recruited to the camp, and the camp was strengthened during the day, and then returned to the county at night, and so on for several days.
