Chapter 644: Guo Tu's Hatred
That's right, this is the first defeat that Zhao Feng fought!
"What's going on?" Cao Cao was extremely interested, previously, he also thought that Zhao Feng might be undefeated, and there was no flaw to grasp, but now someone actually defeated Zhao Feng for the first time, so it means that Zhao Feng also has weaknesses! In this way, Cao Cao will be more confident to defeat Zhao Feng!
However, what Cao Cao didn't know was that the condition of Xiliang was extremely poor, where Zhao Feng had not had time to rectify it, and there were basically no soldiers and horses trained by Zhao Feng, and the soldiers and horses were completely based on Dong Zhuo's time, and the generals, only Li Dao and Guo Yan, and there were no catapults, explosives bags and other powerful equipment!
However, if he knew this, then Cao Cao's intelligence system would not be his! Ordinary intelligence systems can't detect this!
"I don't know!" Xun You shook his head, "I didn't find out the specific situation, these are still heard by my subordinates when they were in Tianshui, it seems that Guo Yan wanted to rebel, but he was pacified by Zhao Feng, and then an army came out of nowhere to capture Tianshui, Zhao Feng seems to have fled in a hurry!" ”
"Oh?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, it looked like there was civil strife! But this did not delay Cao Cao from grasping the point! It's as if the army is attacking the city head-on and taking it down!
"Do you know where that army came from?" Cao Cao asked.
"I don't know about this, but this army is very mysterious, it seems to have captured the entire territory of Xiliang, but it retreated overnight, taking away all the more than 200,000 troops of Zhao Fengde, and of course, money and food!" Xun You reported.
"Interesting!" Cao Cao smiled slightly, it seems that this army is really mysterious! But who will it be? Cao Cao couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Liu Bei? Definitely not, Liu Bei doesn't have the strength to go on an expedition now, he still has to guard Liu Biao and wait for the opportunity to take Jingzhou! So say it's Sun Quan? But certainly it won't be! Because Sun Quan is too far away and Sun Quan wants to go to Xiliang, he will inevitably pass through the territory under his Cao Cao's rule, so Cao Cao will definitely be able to find out! So who exactly? Could it be that there is an enemy in the shadows?
"Pay attention to the dynamics in the direction of Zhao Feng Xiliang at any time, and report to me at any time!" Cao Cao commanded.
"By the way, can we take advantage of Zhao Feng's losses to attack the state or the division?" Cao Cao asked.
"No!" Xu Yu said at this time.
"Oh?" The corners of Cao Cao's mouth rose slightly, it seems that Xu You still has a change!
However, before Cao Cao could ask why, Guo Tu began to make trouble: "Why not?" Zhao Feng's available soldiers and horses are already stretched, and now, Zhao Feng has lost so many soldiers and horses, why don't we take this opportunity to capture Zhao Feng's subordinates in one fell swoop, in this way, we can cut off Zhao Feng's territory from the middle, so that it is too much to care! ”
Listening to Guo Tu's words, Cao Cao frowned slightly, this was obviously Guo Tu's intention to use words to exclude Xu You, but these words were exactly what Cao Cao wanted to know, so Cao Cao didn't make a sound, waiting for Xu You's answer.
"Hehe, lord, as we all know, Zhao Feng has millions of mercenaries, and these more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, although they sound like a lot, but in fact, for Zhao Feng, it should only be a small part! Zhao Feng transferred 50,000 soldiers and horses from various states, which is really not a difficult thing, so Zhao Feng only damaged a little strength, and did not hurt his muscles and bones, as long as the dispatch is appropriate, its border defense is still not something we can break! Xu You analyzed.
Yes, Cao Cao very much agrees with Xu Yu's analysis, although Zhao Feng has few soldiers and horses, but it is still very feasible to draw from the main counties, in that case, Zhao Feng's border strength has not weakened, and it is not an existence that he Cao Cao can match at all!
In an instant, Cao Cao dispelled the idea of attacking Si Li.
"Brother Ziyuan, how can you grow up with other people's ambition to destroy your own prestige?" Guo Tu said in a strange manner, "Zhao Feng has millions of soldiers and horses, but do you know how many troops Zhao Feng has stationed in each place? If Zhao Feng had drawn these more than 200,000 soldiers and horses from all over the country, his border defense would definitely be empty! ”
Cao Cao's brows furrowed even more, isn't this Guo Tu a little unscrupulous? Immediately, Cao Cao snorted coldly, "Hmph! It was used to express his dissatisfaction with Cao Cao.
Hearing Cao Cao's voice, everyone was stunned for a moment, Cao Cao didn't seem to be so satisfied, why is this? But thinking about Guo Tu's behavior just now, they suddenly understood that it seemed that Guo Tu was really doing something wrong!
When Guo Tu heard Cao Cao's unsatisfactory snort, his old face immediately turned red and he stopped talking.
"I'm not Yuan Shao, you are under me, you can be dissatisfied with me, but you can't exclude and suppress anyone! I have always believed that only when there is harmony between the top and bottom can we truly become as strong as Zhao Feng! Cao Cao said coldly.
"Put away your thoughts, don't think I don't know what you're thinking? If there is a next time, I will not forgive! Cao Cao's gaze was sharp, sweeping over Guo Tu and Feng Ji.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions froze, Cao Cao's words were so straightforward, it was self-evident who he was referring to.
"Okay, is there any movement on Liu Bei's side?" Cao Cao waved his hand and changed the subject.
"Lord Qiqi, Liu Biao seems to be seriously ill!" Xun You said.
"Huh?" Cao Cao's eyebrows raised again, it seems that Liu Bei's opportunity has come!
"Liu Bei, do we need to help?" Xun You opened his mouth to ask Cao Cao.
"No, if Liu Bei can't even go down to Jingzhou like this, he won't be worthy of an alliance with us!" Cao Cao shook his head. Indeed, as Cao Cao said, if they helped, who should the captured Jingzhou belong? Moreover, if Liu Bei wants to form an alliance with Cao Cao, then he must show his strength, otherwise, why should he form an alliance?
"How's our grain harvest going this year?" Cao Cao Fu asked again.
"Seeing that the harvest is about to be harvested, according to reports from all over the country, the grain production should be very considerable!" Xun You said.
"Good! That's good, if there is surplus food this year, you will pay back the food you owe Zhao Feng, it's always uncomfortable to worry about owing people things! Cao Cao commanded.
"My subordinates understand!" Xun You nodded.
"Is there anything else? If not, disperse! Cao Cao asked.
Everyone shook their heads and dispersed.
When leaving, Guo Tu also glanced at Xu You hatefully, today, if it weren't for Xu You, how could he be so embarrassed?
