Knowing that Chen Qi promised to send protons to Wei County, Cao Cao was heartbroken, but he didn't say anything and sent someone to send Cao Zhi to Wei County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And then, Cao Cao immediately issued a military order, whether it is Yanzhou, or Jingzhou, every family, where there is a man, one must be conscripted into the army.

This time, Cao Cao had to change his approach, because, although Chen Qi promised not to start a war against him for the time being, Cao Cao understood that Chen Qi would send people to pay attention to his every move at any time, and once his strength was lost, Chen Qi would definitely pounce mercilessly from behind him like a hungry tiger pounced.

In addition, Zhou Yu changed his tactics, took the initiative to abandon several cities, and relied on the favorable terrain of Jiangdong to launch a guerrilla war with Pang Tong, and the pace of Cao's advance was not smooth.

In the face of mobile and flexible guerrilla warfare, even if Pang Tong was resourceful, at the beginning, he was unable to deal with it, and he was succeeded by Zhou Yu again and again, and the battle was extremely difficult.

The battle on the front line is not going well, Cao Cao is not in a hurry, Zhuge Liang is not in a hurry, and even Jiangdong faintly sees a glimmer of hope for a turnaround.

The longer this battle is fought, it seems that there is no harm to either side.

This situation is rare in ancient and modern times, and in the entire Central Plains, there are still four powerful princes left, namely Chen Qi, Cao Cao, Liu Xun, and Sun Quan, but every prince does not want this battle to be won or lost as soon as possible.

Cao Cao has his own difficulties, if he destroys Jiangdong immediately, his vitality has not yet recovered, and even the territory he has laid has not had time to stabilize, Chen Jiao's army can be killed from behind.

Therefore, if it drags on for a longer time, Cao Cao can also recruit more soldiers and grain and grass, and use this war to train soldiers in battle, raise soldiers in battle, and raise soldiers in battle, so that the recruited recruits can grow up faster, and when the time comes, even if Chen cuts out troops, Cao Cao is not worried.

Cao Cao's recruitment order, Yanzhou and Jingzhou, there was an uproar, this time, Cao Cao was not only for the civilians, but also for the powerful scholars.

For a time, in Cao Cao's territory, there were many complaints, and the people's grievances were boiling, not only the scholars were dissatisfied, but even the ordinary people were scolded behind their backs, and many people's homes and men were taken away, and even the crops in the fields could not be taken care of, and the fields were largely barren, and many families were left with only orphans and widows crying bitterly.

Many civil officials and military generals also ran to Cao Cao to admonish, Cao Cao was unmoved, Beihai Kong Rong even pointed at Cao Cao's nose and scolded Cao Cao for digging his own grave, Cao Cao's face was gloomy and scary, he didn't say a word immediately, stood up, pulled out the sword of Yitian, and cut off Kong Rong's head with a sword.

Why?

Cao Cao has his own hardships, but few people can understand him, although there is a lot of territory now, but Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are only 100,000, and he will continue to attack Jiangdong, if he does not recruit troops, even if he takes Jiangdong, how many soldiers and horses do he have left? It is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket that the people voluntarily enlist in the army, and it is impossible to reverse Cao Cao's passive situation.

As for the stability of the territory and the wishes of the people, Cao Cao was also forced to be helpless and had to use iron-blooded coercion.

Even his son was sent to Wei County, Cao Cao had no way out, this time, he had to go crazy, even if the food in the territory was affected, he could also solve the urgent need by conquering Jiangdong and plundering the baggage.

Cao Cao's approach was crazy and almost irrational, but it was precisely the only way to resist Chen Jiao, similar to the practice of the German Hit-Teller in later generations, giving up the economy, going all out to develop the military, conquering with iron and blood, plundering everywhere, raising war with war, and raising soldiers with war, so as not to fall into passivity in the face of Chen Xiao.

Cao Cao has his own ideas, at least 300,000 troops will be recruited, and even if Chen Qi sends troops, he will not be afraid.

The crusade against Jiangdong will last a long time, and these recruits will also be well tempered, and for Jiangdong, they naturally don't want to be wiped out soon.

And Zhuge Liang, while echoing Cao Cao from afar, continued to take time to crusade against Meng Shu, and naturally he didn't want to destroy Jiangdong immediately.

As for Chen Qi, he had already sent Zhao Yun, Ke Berneng and others to send troops to the Xiongnu and the annexation of the state, and the war in Jiangdong did not want to have an immediate result.

However, the news of Cao Cao's large number of recruits still reached Chen Qi's ears, and Chen Qi hurriedly summoned Xu Shu and others to discuss countermeasures.

Xu Shu waved his hand and persuaded "Young marshal, don't worry, Cao Cao's approach is undoubtedly digging his own grave, even Beihai Kong Rong was killed by him, many wealthy scholars in the territory are also complaining, the young marshal just needs to wait and see what happens, once we take the state and the Xiongnu, the young marshal will unify the division of benevolence and righteousness, do the way for the sky, and conform to the will of the people. ”

Although Xu Shu said so, Chen Qi was still faintly uneasy in his heart, after all, Cao Cao's recruitment of troops this time was not a small amount, it was almost crazy.

Frustrated and pondered for a while, he looked up at Chen Qi, "Young marshal, for the Huns, I don't think it is necessary to kill them all, it is better to receive the Huns and young and strong by his side, and when the time comes, let these people work for the young marshal, even if they are cannon fodder." ”

"Okay, just do it, immediately send someone to send a letter to Zilong, this time to conquer the Huns, try your best to surrender, no need to kill, and then, transfer these Hun soldiers into Bohai and Xuzhou, ready to guard against Cao thieves."

Taking the Huns and Xianbei people as cannon fodder, Chen Cut will not have any distress and reluctance, even the people in the territory, he has repeatedly encouraged the people to join the army, and it is not compulsory, first, to let the people volunteer, and secondly, to continuously improve the treatment of soldiers, even the families of those soldiers who died in the battlefield, subsidies and pensions have also been greatly improved.

Cao Cao had a good plan, Chen Qi had a wall ladder, Cao Cao recruited troops strongly, and Chen Qi also did many benevolent and righteous acts in the territory, striving to let the people enthusiastically join the army.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and within three years, Chen Jiao's side, Jizhou, Youzhou, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Bingzhou have been completely connected, with a solid foundation and sufficient grain and grass.

And Cao Cao, while recruiting troops strongly, while sending people to spread rumors in Jiangdong to win over the Jiangdong scholars, although Zhou Yu's guerrilla warfare was effective, however, many wealthy families in Jiangdong, seeing that the situation was not good, secretly expressed their willingness to submit to Cao Cao, for Zhou Yu's approach, they were very dissatisfied.

Zhou Yu led the troops to ambush Cao Bing everywhere, but he took the initiative to give up a lot of cities, which is equivalent to letting those wealthy families in the city take the initiative to expose to Cao Bing's iron cavalry, over time, Cao Cao is a deterrent, and a lure, Jiangdong Shi clan has defected, plus Pang Tong also figured out the guerrilla warfare style, repeated battles, Zhou Yu did not get effective support, heavy casualties, most of the cities in Jiangdong were occupied by Cao Cao.

"Soldiers, the general trend of Jiangdong has gone, let's go, go back and pack up your things and leave Jiangdong immediately, take your family and leave Jiangdong ......immediately" (to be continued.) )
