Chapter 628: The Smoke Rises Again

It is said that at the same time that Chen Long won the qualification to recruit relatives in the martial arts competition at the lecture conference, Cao Mengde's southern expedition army returning from Hefei City had already arrived outside Runan City. Although they plundered frantically along the way, the soldiers who had little food and grass were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they all looked at the head of Runan City viciously, if they didn't knock down Runan City, they would continue to starve tonight.

Cao Cao's army attacked Runan, which was definitely a surprise attack with a pat on the head. Cao Cao attacked Hefei by Zhao Yun's army from Wancheng through Runan, and he was already angry, and he couldn't defeat Hefei and had to anger Yuan Shu's Runan, the reason was to give Zhao Yun's army a way.

The Cao army flocked to the city of Runan, and the city had already been alarmed, and Yang Feng and Han Xian, who had self-respecting troops, were about to drop their jaws, and they didn't expect that Zhao Yun, the little white dragon who didn't dare to provoke the Qinglong Army, provoked Cao Mengde, the great demon king of Qingzhou. There is a huge disparity between the forces inside and outside the city, how should this battle be fought?

Yang Feng, by no means an unknown person, his martial arts are strong, he was the general of Li Dao, some people say that he is the ancestor of the Northern Song Dynasty "Yang General", the founder of the Yang family's marksmanship, kung fu can be seen. The sixth son of the Yang family, Yang Feng is the youngest, and after breaking out of the world, he is known as the "white wave thief". Han Xian was the general of the Baibo Army of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Rebel Army, and was later recruited by Yang Feng, the general of Xingyi, the former general of the White Turban Army.

Han Xian had heard of Cao Cao's prestige a long time ago, and his first thought was to escape. What's more, the Cao army, which was under the pressure of the black outside the city, was no less than 100,000 people, and the strength was more than three times that of the defenders in the city. If you are guarding the city and waiting for reinforcements, I don't know how long it will take for this reinforcement to come.

The nearest big city in Yuan Shu's territory is Xuchang in the north, about 300 miles away from Runan, and is guarded by Yuan Shu's generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, with a strength of only more than 30,000 people.

Yang Feng and Han Xian were unwilling to surrender, so they had to send a fast horse to report to Yuan Shu first, asking for reinforcements to be sent quickly, while preparing the equipment to defend the city. The Cao soldiers under the city have already cut down the surrounding forests, revealing a large battlefield, and set up a camp while making engineering ladders.

In Cao Mengde's Chinese army tent, there were a few cakes on the coffee table, a plate of horse meat, and the grizzled Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde were rolling up a cake and eating it with relish. In front of him, on a Taishi chair, sat a short man with a white face and short hair, who was Cao Cao, the commander of the Central Plains Cao Army. Cao Cao watched Cheng Yu finish eating a piece of bread and sighed: "Zhongde, I've been hungry for the past two days." ”

Cheng Zhongde didn't have time to swallow the chyme, and said vaguely: "Lord, there will be food after you beat Runan." Cao Cao nodded and said, "Do you know why I want to fight this Runan?" ”

Cheng Yu finally swallowed the food in his mouth, and asked with some surprise: "Isn't the lord angry that the Yuan Shu Department will give way to Wancheng Zhao Yun?" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Zhongde, you are also quite good at pretending!" You know my mind best, so let's hear it. ”

Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said, "I don't dare to figure out the thoughts of the lord. However, in terms of military deployment, there are nothing more than three directions. At that time, under the city of Hefei, the lord took the eldest prince and Xiahou Ba back, and there was a chance to withdraw to Xuzhou to the north, but once he returned, his morale would be extremely low, and he was afraid that he would not be able to go south in a few years. ”

"Choosing to take Runan, I'm afraid that the lord has long wanted to wipe out Yuan Shu, right? Although Yuan Shu is pretentious and called the emperor, but the army is not strong, the generals are not brave, and the ministers are not strategic, I am afraid that he has long been fat in the eyes of the lord. It was only because he was afraid of bordering the Qinglong Army immediately that he chose to go south to wipe out the Jiangdong Sun clan first. ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly: "I'm afraid that Chen Long also thinks the same way, so that Yuan Shu has survived among the two major forces until now." After all, Luoyang is the emperor's old capital, how can Yuan Shu always occupy the magpie's nest. ”

Cheng Yu continued: "But I didn't expect that the battle to wipe out the Sun clan was personally fought by Sun Quan to fight with the Qinglong Army, and even Huang Zu's Jiangxia City was lost, which can be described as a heavy loss. Now that the army has arrived in Runan, let's simply start a big battle with Yuan Shu. The so-called war with war, breaking Runan, is enough to get a few days of food, and then continue to break Xuchang, you can connect with Qianjun, Liangcheng, Chenliu and other places, and the army can get supplies from Qianjun, so as to threaten Luoyang, where Yuan Shu is located. I am afraid that the Qinglong Army will not sit idly by and watch Yuan Shu's group be wiped out, and it will inevitably come to fight for Luoyang at that time, causing a bigger scuffle. ”

The so-called Qian County is Cao Cao's birthplace, where the Cao family is located, and it has long been built into an important place in Cao Cao's territory by Cao Cao with a lot of money. If Xu Du is defeated, it will naturally be able to connect with Qian County, and there will be no need to worry about the supply of the army, and Qian County will no longer be a frontier, and the Cao clan ancestral hall will be safer. Cheng Yu thought about this point, and naturally thought that Cao Cao wanted to take Xuchang.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao nodded first, then shook his head and said, "What Zhongde thinks is indeed a feasible proposal. However, if our army defeats Runan and obtains a few days of grain and grass, the direction of attack is not only Xuchang to the north. ”

Cheng Yu was startled and said, "More than to the north? Then there is only Wancheng to the west and Xiangyang and Fancheng to the southwest, could it be that the lord wants to go straight to Xiangyang, the capital of the Qinglong Army? ”

Cao Cao gritted his back molars and said, "Why not? He sneaked up on my Hefei, so I sneaked up on Chen Long's Xiangyang and snatched all his peerless wives. ”

Chen Long's wife has many national colors and fragrances, which have long been spread all over the world, and Cao Cao wants to keep them for himself in his dreams. Cheng Yu was completely shocked by Cao Cao's words, and snorted: "Is this true? If you choose to start a war with the Blue Dragon Army, you don't have a year's worth of food and grass, so don't talk about it! At this moment, the heroes have not been eliminated, and it is unwise to choose to start a war with the Qinglong Army first! If it consumes strength because of this, it gives the Jiangdong Sun family and the Henan and Hebei Yuan brothers a chance. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "It's not surprising that Zhongde would think so. But Chen Long's advisors must have thought the same way, thinking that we would not choose to go to war with him, so there was a good chance of success. ”

Cheng Yu calmed down from the shock and asked, "So does the lord think that our rear is monolithic?" If the base area is lost because of this, it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Cao Cao was silent, although Xun Yu was guarding the rear, there were Zhang Liao and Guan Yu in the north, and Zhao Yun and Sun Ce in the south, and the base was indeed a little unstable. After thinking about it, he continued: "Then Guan Yu heard that he is Zhang Fei's brother, maybe he can make him surrender." This sentence is a bit marginal, it turns out that Zhang Fei has gone to Cao Cao's territory alone, and he is entrusted to Jiang Ji, who has taken refuge in Cao Cao.

Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao was becoming more and more unreliable, scratched his head and said: "Lord, compared to the surprise attack on Xiangyang and Fancheng, I am afraid that the surprise attack on Wancheng is more reliable." Xiangyang must be heavily defended, and our side has no idea about the distribution of the Qinglong Army's forces. And Wancheng is different, one is that Zhao Yun is still leading the army in Hefei, Wancheng does not have a general to defend heavily, and the other is that Wancheng is very close to Chang'an and Luoyang, which can be described as a strategic place, and can threaten Xiangyang and attack Chang'an and Luoyang when retreating, and Nanyang has been a granary since ancient times, which can raise 200,000 male soldiers of the lord, which can be described as a place where advance and retreat freely. ”

Although Cao Cao was accustomed to taking risks and marching into the army, when he heard Cheng Yu say this, he had to say casually: "Zhongde's words are reasonable, and I will think about it for two more days." With Runan in front of him, Zhongde is ready to command the battle! Must be won in two days! ”
