Chapter 1222: Marching into Xudu
Lu Su pondered for a moment: "What the lord said is not unreasonable. ”
"Then who should be sent to envoy Liu Biao? And what benefits did Liu Biao promise so that Liu Biao would not send troops to intervene in the war? ”
After Zhao Feng heard this, he groaned.
In fact, Zhao Feng only had to send someone to tell Liu Biao that as long as Liu Biao did not send troops to interfere in his war with Cao Cao, he would promise not to send troops to attack Liu Biao, as well as the heir that Liu Biao would determine in the future.
This promise, for Liu Biao, is definitely more useful than anything else.
Although this promise cannot be guaranteed in any way, if Zhao Feng violates his promise in the future, he will definitely be infamous for going back on his word.
This is something that a founding emperor is unwilling to bear.
If you really want to do this in the future, you will also blame the infamy on the original envoy.
Of course, the main reason is that Zhao Feng knows in his heart that according to the current etiquette, the eldest son Liu Qi should inherit Liu Biao's Jingzhou in the end.
But because of Cai's relationship, he will eventually work with Cai Mao and others to support Liu Cong to inherit Jingzhou.
Anyway, regardless of anything else, Zhao Feng only recognized Liu Qi on the surface, not Liu Cong, so he naturally had an excuse to send troops in the future.
But these reasons are also impossible to say to Lu Su, Zhao Yun and others.
And if there are other reasons, I am worried that Lu Su, Zhao Yun and others will think that after Zhao Feng occupies half of the Han Dynasty, they will be satisfied and lose their enterprising heart to dominate the world.
Zhao Feng pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Xun Chen is good at words, so let Xun Chen go to Jingzhou." ”
"As for what benefits are promised, Xun Chen will do it according to the actual situation, and he will do it himself!"
After hearing this, Lu Su nodded: "Xun Chen was able to let Han Fu give up Jizhou with a sharp mouth, and he is indeed eloquent!" ”
"Let Xun Chen send an envoy to Jingzhou, and I don't have any opinions."
Lu Su, as a civil official and strategist, has no opinions, and Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Wei Yan and others, as military generals, have no opinions.
Seeing that the matter was temporarily resolved, Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Okay, you should pay more attention to the movements of Cao Jun of the Changshe. ”
"I estimate that it won't take three or five days, as long as we don't attack Changshe, Cao's army will withdraw."
Lu Su, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Hua Xiong and others saluted Zhao Feng respectively: "Wow! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
After everyone left, Zhao Feng looked at Xiong Da: "Go and invite Xu Shu." ”
Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he quickly ran out of the Chinese army's tent.
After a while, Xiong Da and Xu Shu walked into the Chinese army's tent together.
Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng, expressed his resumption, and returned to his position to stand.
Xu Shu waved at Zhao Feng: "The lord summoned his ministers to come, what are your orders?" ”
Zhao Feng smiled and told Xu Shu about the appointment of Xun Chen as an envoy to Jingzhou.
Then ask Xu Shu to draft a document and hand it to Tian Feng, and let Tian Feng transfer it to Xun Chen.
Then he added: "I know that Yuan Zhi is good friends with Huang Chengyan. ”
"I want to have Lao Yuanzhi and write a letter to Huang Chengyan, asking him to come forward and find some friends to assist Liu Qi."
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment: "Brother Chengyan and Liu Biao are brothers-in-law, and they are also Liu Cong's uncles-in-law. ”
"There's no reason for Brother Chengyan to help Liu Qi and not help Liu Cong!"
Zhao Feng said with a smile: "Huang Chengyan is not only Liu Cong's uncle-in-law, but also Liu Qi's brother-in-law!" ”
Xu Shu was stunned again: "This ......"
The reason why Xu Shu couldn't refute it was because what Zhao Feng said was indeed right.
But Liu Cong is from the Cai family, and Huang Chengyan is Liu Cong's brother-in-law.
And Liu Qi is from the Chen family, although he is also called Huang Chengyan's uncle, but in fact, it has nothing to do with it.
In the end, Xu Shu looked like Zhao Feng: "The minister will write a letter to Brother Chengyan." ”
"But whether Brother Chengyan will help Liu Qi or not, the minister doesn't dare to guarantee."
Zhao Feng smiled: "Don't worry, it will definitely be!" ”
Because Zhao Feng knew in his heart that if Huang Chengyan wanted to let the Mojia Academy flourish, he couldn't help but act according to orders.
If Huang Chengyan refuses, what if Zhao Feng makes things difficult for the Mojia Academy in the future?
Of course, being able to act on orders and doing your best to help Liu Qi are two different things.
Xu Shu didn't say much, and waved at Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
Time passed slowly, and five days passed in a blink of an eye.
In these five days, nothing major happened.
this day.
A sentry horse ran into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi, General Zhao asked his subordinates to come and report." ”
"Cao Jun has begun to withdraw from Changshe!"
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Order Lu Su, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Hua Xiong, Tai Shici, Guan Hai and others, and let them lead their troops to line up outside Changshe City." ”
"Then let Guan Hai lead his troops into Changshe City slowly, and let him be careful of the ambush in the city."
The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
An hour later.
A sentry rode into the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”
"General Guan asked his subordinates to come back and report, saying that in Changshe City, a small number of Cao troops resisted."
"Then fires broke out in various parts of the city, and General Guan saw that the fire was too big, so he had already led his troops to evacuate Changshe."
After Zhao Feng heard this, he also sighed in his heart.
Similar to the strategy of burning the city, Zhao Feng also used it against the Xiongnu at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to be used by Cao Jun on himself this time.
Fortunately, he reminded Guan Hai before and asked him to be careful of the ambush in the city.
If the army was allowed to enter the city directly, the fate of the Xiongnu at the beginning might be the fate of Zhao Feng's army.
Even if the losses will not be as great as those of the Huns, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
After all, fire and water are merciless!
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Pass the order, collect the troops and return to the camp!" ”
The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the Chinese army's tent.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past three days, Zhao Feng's army has basically been cleaning up in Changshe City.
Fortunately, Cao Cao still has some conscience, although he set a fire to the Changshe, but he did not leave the people of the Changshe for burial.
Because the army didn't clean up too many corpses.
However, the boulder that was thrown into the city before basically returned to Zhao Feng's hands intact.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Lu Su, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Tai Shici, Hua Xiong, Guan Hai and others all ran to the big tent of the Chinese army.
After everyone finished saluting, Lu Su took the lead and said, "Enlighten the lord! ”
"Cao Jun has been evacuated from Changshe for four days."
"Our army should also send troops to Xu Du now, in order to contain Cao Cao's main army!"
"Otherwise, after a long time, Cao Cao may have other changes."
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Zi Jing's words are reasonable. ”
"Pass the order, the army will be drawn immediately, and the troops will go out of the capital!"
Everyone saluted Zhao Feng separately: "Wow! ”
After speaking, they withdrew from the Chinese army's tent.
