After dealing with the epidemic, Zhao Feng turned his head to look at the junior colonel: "Inform Guo Jia's troops and let them go to reinforce Dagu Pass." ”

The little colonel arched his hand to Zhao Feng: "Oh! ”

With that, he turned around and exited the chamber.

As soon as the junior colonel left, Zhao Feng looked at the sentry horseman: "Go back and tell Zhang Yan that there will be more than 3,000 reinforcements coming over to reinforce soon." ”

"With more than 6,000 soldiers, we should be able to hold the Dagu Pass for a while."

The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

With that, he turned around and exited the chamber.

For Zhao Feng, now he just needs to stick to it.

After all, the epidemic has spread from Wu County to Xuzhou.

Then it will inevitably spread to Yuzhou and Jingzhou!

Jingzhou was left alone for the time being, but it spread to Yuzhou, and Cao Cao obviously had to send someone to deal with related affairs.

And Wei Yan and Hua Xiong, with more than 55,000 cavalry, plundered Cao Cao's grain and taxes in Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

If Cao Cao wants to send people to deal with related affairs, he must send troops to break through the pass.

In other words, it won't be long before Cao Cao is forced to choose to withdraw his troops!

Otherwise, once the plague broke out in Yuzhou, coupled with the grain taxes looted by Wei Yan and Huaxiong in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, it would be difficult for Cao Cao to turn over.

After all, an army of more than 100,000 people also has to eat!

Following.

Lu Su walked into the conference hall and waved at Zhao Feng: "Meet the lord!" ”

Lu Su was originally dispatching in the middle of Yanshi, but now that Zhao Feng has arrived in Chenggao, Lu Su naturally has to rush to Chenggao.

The reason why it is dispatched in the middle of Yanshi is that Lu Su is the Taishou of Hanoi County, and it is not good to dispatch in Luoyang, so as not to rob Zhang Yan's authority.

Second, Zhang Yan was in charge of the three passes of Yique Pass, Dagu Pass, and Xuanyuan Pass, while Lu Su was responsible for the defense of other places because the troops were relatively sufficient.

The third is that although Lu Su has both civil and military skills, his duty is to be too conservative and more literate, so he will not be directly on the front line.

Zhao Feng smiled: "Zijing is here." ”

Then he recounted the situation in Xuzhou yesterday and asked, "What does Zijing think?" ”

Lu Su pondered for a moment and waved at Zhao Feng: "Congratulations to the lord!" ”

"According to Su, Cao Cao will inevitably withdraw within three days."

"First, Cao Cao's original strategy decided that he could only quickly end the Yin War in Henan."

"Once the plague breaks out in Yuzhou, this is even more serious than the lord sending General Hua and General Wei to loot grain and pay taxes, Cao Cao will take a break!"

"Second, Cao Cao needs to guard against General Hua and General Wei, from the original strategic purpose of plundering grain and paying taxes, to directly attacking the city."

"After all, as long as General Hua and General Wei spread rumors that the origin of this epidemic is because Cao Cao has no way, and thus God will punish him, it will cause a popular uprising."

"As soon as the people's hearts change, it is not impossible for General Hua and General Wei to lead the cavalry to capture the city."

Zhao Feng sighed: "Actually, I want to withdraw to Huaxiong and Wei Yan's department, so that Cao Cao can deal with the epidemic with peace of mind." ”

"After all, once the plague breaks out, I don't know how many Han people will die!"

When Zhao Feng said this, he actually hesitated for a long time.

After all, judging from the current situation, as long as Hua Xiong and Wei Yan continue to sabotage Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao goes all out to treat the epidemic in Yuzhou, many people will die.

Maybe because of the delay between Huaxiong and Wei Yan, a plague broke out in Yuzhou.

Once the plague breaks out in Yuzhou, it will inevitably form a secondary spread, and Cao Cao will not be able to confront Zhao Feng at all.

It's just that in this way, there is some conflict with Zhao Feng's original intention of keeping the Han people.

After all, Xuzhou and Yuzhou, because of the relationship between Zhao Feng and Cao Cao, may be able to organize the outbreak of the plague.

But Yuan Shu is now dead with more than 100,000 troops, and he is definitely unable to save the people under his rule.

It is foreseeable that Yuan Shu's governance has a great possibility that a plague will break out, and then form a secondary spread.

If it is not dealt with, it is estimated that millions of people will die at this time.

That's why Zhao Fengcai said that as soon as Yuan Shu needed help, he would do his best to help.

Lu Su gave Zhao Feng a look: "The lord has this benevolent and righteous heart, and he thanked the lord for the people of Jiangnan!" ”

The meaning is very clear, that is, it agrees with the withdrawal of Huaxiong and Wei Yan's army.

After all, Zhao Feng really wanted to let Hua Xiong and Wei Yan make trouble in Yuzhou, deliberately increasing the possibility of the outbreak of plague in Yuzhou, from the perspective of destroying the enemy, it was understandable, at most it was just a little infamy.

It's all at the point of life and death, a little infamy, what's the point?

Then he added: "Now Ma Chao and Bai Wen are at war in Xiliang and Yongzhou. ”

"Although they all hope that the lord will come forward and dissuade them from fighting."

"But the lord can issue a document to dissuade them, and if they don't listen, we can't do anything for the time being."

"In this way, General Zhang and General Zhou, who are stationed in Zuo Fengyi, can not worry about the Qin army coming, so that the two generals can send troops to Jing Zhaoyin!"

"Once Jing Zhaoyin is taken down by us, Cao Cao's right support wind will be isolated, as long as the lord wants to, he can take the right support wind at any time."

"At the same time, General Xu, General Hua, and General Wei can send troops together to take Jiyin County and Shanyang County."

"In this way, with the Taishan County that we have already taken, the Jibei Kingdom, the Dongping Kingdom, the Lu Kingdom, and the Rencheng Kingdom will be surrounded by us."

"In this way, the grain taxes of Jibei Kingdom, Dongping Kingdom, Lu Kingdom, and Rencheng Kingdom can only be handed over to us."

"So as to indirectly take half of Yanzhou!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Although Lu Su agreed with Zhao Feng to withdraw Huaxiong and Wei Yan, he did not want to miss this good opportunity to bite off a few pieces of meat from Cao Cao.

In addition, the counties that need to be involved in this battle, that is, Jingzhaoyin, Jiyin County, and Shanyang County, are only three counties, and they are not very involved.

But in one fell swoop, Jibei Kingdom, Dongping Kingdom, Lu Kingdom, and Rencheng Kingdom were surrounded!

You must know that in the entire Han world, only Zhao Feng and Cao Cao still retain these counties.

The rest of the counties have long been withdrawn by other princes and replaced by counties.

This move also omitted attacking the county, after all, Zhao Feng's attitude now is still loyal.

If you attack these counties, you will be no different from other princes.

Of course, strictly speaking, there is really not much difference in essence, but it is just a matter of righteousness in the future.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Then let's do it!" ”

Zhao Feng just didn't want to cause a plague outbreak in Yuzhou and kill millions of people because of his own reasons.

snatched the territory from Cao Cao's hands, without any psychological pressure.

Lu Su waved at Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

With that, he turned around and exited the chamber.

Time passed slowly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Sure enough, as Lu Su expected, Cao Cao withdrew his army from all walks of life the next day, and all the counties of Yin in Henan that he had originally taken were also abandoned.

this day.

A sentry rode into the conference hall and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”

"General Zhang sent his subordinates to inform him that Yuan Shu had died!"
