Chapter 638: Zhao Feng's embarrassment
"Lord Yuan, why are we leaving Xiliang?" Li Wei didn't understand a little, since Yuan Shu had already captured the entire territory of Xiliang, why did he still talk about Xiliang abandoning.
"Hey!" Yuan Shu sighed and shook his head, "Don't I want to occupy Xiliang and fight to the death with that Zhao Feng?" But, General Li, do you know how strong Zhao Fengde is? ”
"This ......" Li Wei was speechless for a while, he followed Jia Xu and obeyed Zhao Feng in a daze, so he knew very well how strong Zhao Feng's strength was! That's really quite strong, even if the rest of the princes of the Han Dynasty are added together, they can't catch up with Zhao Feng!
"Am I right? If we stay in Xiliang now and Zhao Feng raises troops to attack, will we have the strength to fight back? Yuan Shu asked.
"This ......" Li Wei really didn't know what to say, but honestly he still shook his head.
"Yes, we can't beat Zhao Feng, now compared to Zhao Feng is too far behind, if we want to defeat Zhao Feng, we have to retreat as advance, temporarily retreat, and wait until the strength grows, after the 250,000 soldiers and horses are completely digested, we will consume part of Zhao Feng's strength, so in the long run, we will definitely be able to defeat Zhao Feng!" Yuan Shudao.
This is the strategy that Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang formulated together to gnaw on elephants, and it is also a strategy that lasts for ten years or even longer, and it is doubtful whether it can be completed in his lifetime!
But Yuan Shu is not worried about whether he can finish it at all, to be honest, he is already like this now, it can be said that he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, he has nothing, if he can pull Zhao Feng into the water, or make him feel pain for a while, then what Yuan Shu has done is worth it!
"I understand, Li Dao will definitely do his best to help Lord Yuan complete this plan!" Li Dao arched his hand to Yuan Shu, but he still didn't recognize Yuan Shu as the master!
Yuan Shu was very pleased, although he didn't recognize the master, but he could feel that Li Dao's heart was moving in his direction little by little, and he believed that one day this Li Dao would be submissive to him! Although this Li Dao may not be as good as Ji Ling in terms of combat power, after all, he has been in the army for so many years, and he still has experience! Experience is a panacea, and it is the most valuable thing for a general, so Yuan Shu will attach so much importance to this Li Dao!
Don't show that Yuan Shu and the allied forces returned to the Xiongnu station, just Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng waited in Hedong for more than half a month, and finally waited for Lu Xun and Zhou Yu! Now, Hedong County has gathered Xu Huang, Pang De, Sun Ce, Ma Chao, the four fierce generals, as well as Zhou Yu and Lu Xun.
"Now, Xiliang has fallen, what should we do?" Zhao Feng frowned and looked at Xiliang's battle report.
Although Xiliang was captured, Zhao Fengde's intelligence network was still covered with Xiliang, and it was easy to know the dynamics of Xiliang!
"Teacher, now that Yuan Shu should be about to retreat, we just need to take over Xiliang again and send troops to garrison again!" Zhou Yu thought about it, smiled slightly, and took the lead in speaking.
"Huh? Why is that? Why did Yuan Shu retreat? "Zhao Feng is puzzled, since he has taken Xiliang, isn't it better to defend it with danger?
"According to the teacher's description, the current Yuan Shu is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he should have the help of a master, but even so, he still doesn't dare to confront our army head-on, after all, the strength of our army is too strong, and everyone knows this! Therefore, in order to avoid the edge for the time being, Yuan Shu will definitely choose to withdraw for the time being, and wait until he has digested all the soldiers he has just received and formed his own strength, and then attack us! Zhou Yu told everyone his guess, in fact, Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang's thoughts coincided with what Zhou Yu said!
"Well, teacher, I also think that what Brother Gongjin said is very likely!" Lu Xun opened his mouth and said, "I don't know if Yuan Shu didn't get help from a master, but Yuan Shu's personality should have changed, he now knows how to forbear, and can listen to people's words, once this kind of person has power, it is very terrifying!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Feng listened to the words of the two and nodded thoughtfully.
"In this way, we will now lead the troops back to Xiliang first! If Yuan Shu retreats, we will take over Xiliang again, and if we don't retreat, we will fight Yuan Shu to the death! Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
In fact, Zhao Feng never thought about it, he had not lost a single battle over the years, and his first defeat was to Yuan Shu, one of the princes he looked down on the most during the Three Kingdoms period in history!
Depressed, Zhao Feng had no choice but to give such an order, fortunately Yuan Shu was not mad enough to kill the people indiscriminately, but Yuan Shu is bound to loot Xiliang's treasury this time, although Xiliang is barren, but it is also the birthplace of war horses, and there are many large and small horse farms, this time Zhao Feng estimates that the loss of war horse resources alone is a very large sum!
"Bo Yan, Gong Jin, do you think we can go and conquer the territory of the Qiang tribe this time?" Zhao Feng asked.
Since the Qiang people were driven to Xiliang by Yuan Shu in batches, I think it doesn't mean that there are not many soldiers and horses on the territory of the Qiang people, right?
"Teacher, for the sake of today's plan, when you send troops and horses to guard Xiliang, it is not appropriate to expand again!" Zhou Yu said.
"Yes, teacher, the territory we have now is already very vast, although we now have a lot of soldiers and horses, but the territory is also very vast, so our current strength is still not enough to sweep the Han, the most important thing for us now is to accumulate our own strength, now Xiliang has been hit hard, the original 300,000 soldiers and horses, now there should be nothing left, although these 300,000 soldiers and horses, most of them were directly surrendered by Dong Zhuojun, there may be some problems in combat effectiveness, but, after all, it is 300,000 soldiers and horses, It's not a small number, where are we going to send so many soldiers and horses to guard Xiliang? Lu Xun also opened his mouth to analyze.
Indeed, as Lu Xun said, Zhao Feng now has such an embarrassment, that is, although there are many soldiers and horses, there are too few soldiers and horses available, and his territory stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west, bordering Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, and even the current Yuan Shao, as well as the Qiang and Di tribes, and every border fortress needs to be heavily guarded, so once it is divided in this way, Zhao Feng's available soldiers and horses will be pitiful!
Zhao Feng's expression is solemn now, in fact, sending Xu Huang and Pang De to Tianshui to rescue is also facing a danger, that is, the two of them left Hedong and Hongnong, once Cao Cao comes, what should they do? At that time, the situation was urgent, and he had to give such an order, but now, he had to think about it, where was the best way to draw soldiers!
