Chapter 499: Cao Cao asks for help
Qin Feng's face became strange, "It seems that my brother Meng De can't stand it, I'm here to ask for help." β
really guessed him correctly, and then Cheng Yu came in, and after paying a big salute, he described the current situation on Cao Cao's side.
After Cao Cao returned to the army, he defeated LΓΌ Bu many times and recaptured too many counties. However, Cao Cao's troops were seriously damaged as a result, and it was already the end of the crossbow, but Cao Cao gritted his teeth and attacked Puyang, which was heavily guarded by Lu Bu. Puyang was Cao Cao's base camp, and too much money and grain were concentrated. If he slows down and doesn't attack Puyang, Lu Bu will be relieved.
But at this time, the situation changed abruptly, Xuzhou Chen Deng, Cao Bao, and Yangzhou Yuan Shu coincidentally sent troops to Gunzhou. Yuan Shu's army quickly occupied Qian County, while Xuzhou's soldiers and horses conquered Pei State and approached Shanyang County. For a time, Cao Cao, who had insufficient troops, was embattled and had entered a situation from which he could never recover.
Seeing that Cao Cao was about to be destroyed by the princes of the Three Roads.
After hearing this, Qin Feng remained silent and said, "Zhongmou, you have worked hard from afar, you can go and rest first." Ben Hou will give you an answer shortly. β
"Master Hou, everyone, junior brother, retire ......." Cheng Yu saluted and left, but his heart was full of thoughts. He came to Jizhou and was very surprised when he saw the great development of Jizhou. Unexpectedly, Qin Feng would be able to restore local prosperity in a short period of time. He actually knew why, but he was a scholar himself, and if Cao Cao did the same, he would definitely vote against it.
After Cao Cao experienced this incident in Lost Gunzhou, he no longer planned to learn from Qin Feng to weaken the Shi clan. Because almost all the people around him are from the Shi clan, if he goes against the Shi clan, he will become the commander of the light pole. This can also be seen that in the whole world, only Qin Feng, who was born from the grassroots, has the natural allies of the people.
Cheng Yu has also been studying the rise of Qin Feng, and at the same time making comparisons with Cao Cao and others. He found out in horror that as early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qin Feng should have already begun to lay out the future chaos in the world. This frightened Cheng Yu into Qin Feng's strategic vision. Cheng Yu could only bury all this in his heart, and now he admired Qin Feng more.
Cheng Yu went down to rest, and Qin Feng asked clearly, "What do you think about supporting Cao Cao?" β
As for whether to support Cao Cao, Qin Feng's military division of four people was divided into two groups.
Xun Yu and Tian Feng were on the one side, and they proposed to support Cao Cao. Therefore, there are great uncertainties in Gunzhou now, and if Cao Cao is defeated and withdraws from Gunzhou, Qin Feng's Jizhou will face enemies on all sides. Although Qin Feng has a certain strength, he has enemies on all sides, so he has to be on guard one by one, and it is difficult to break through.
To put it simply, if Qin Feng attacked one of them, a group of people would come and take the opportunity to attack Qin Feng. If Qin Feng didn't attack, maybe a group of people would join forces to attack him. Qin Feng will be trapped hand and foot, this is an unfavorable strategic situation.
Xu Shu and Fu Zhu were on the same side, and they proposed to wait a little longer, Cao Cao would not be defeated so quickly, and the most important thing now was to obtain the Jizhou region controlled by Yuan Shao.
After taking Jizhou completely, Qin Feng would be able to use the Yellow River as the southern barrier, greatly shorten the length of the front, increase the rear area, and consolidate the front.
Both sides make sense, the four military advisors did not quarrel, but under the leadership of Qin Feng, they planned to ponder again to see if they could synthesize and find a better strategic way.
It's noon in the blink of an eye.
"Eat first." Qin Feng said colloquially.
However, before the meal came up, an important news came first.
Xu Chu brought information from outside.
Qin Feng opened it and looked at it, frowned, and said, "This information is about Liu Bei, there is only one, Liu Bei's military advisor, Mr. Xi Zhicai, has passed away." β
The eyes of the military advisors widened all at once.
Xu Shu's eyes were a little red, and he looked sad, "Senior brother...... ...... passed away. Xu Shu gradually became more and more sad, and couldn't help but recall: "Senior brother has a congenital disease of cough since he was a child, and he has not been able to cure it, and sure enough, as Master said, he died young. β
If you cough when you are young, you must have congenital bad lungs.
When he was in Yingchuan Academy, Qin Feng and Xi Zhicai were also familiar with each other, and they were embarrassed at the moment. He couldn't help but be glad that he had a life talisman, that was the divine doctor Hua Tuo, who was now the chief doctor of the Qin family. Every day, Qin Feng drank the big tonic soup and ate the big tonic pills, and it was very difficult to die.
Qin Feng felt that Hua Tuo's medicinal diet was good, so he asked the whole family to take care of themselves. Of course, the ladies and children will never be Qin Feng's way of health care. Qin Feng is completely a big man's health care method, the ladies have their own women's health care methods, and the children naturally have children's health care.
Qin Feng felt it, and immediately said: "Come on, go and inform Mr. Hua Tuo, tomorrow, all the civil and military ministers, above the county level, will go for a physical examination." β
It doesn't matter if everyone else's is dead, and there is absolutely no one less in your own.
Xun Yu: The first thing they thought of when they saw the lord was their body, which was called a gratitude. Xu Shu temporarily put away his sadness, and for the untimely death of his senior brother, he could only return to the destiny of heaven. Moreover, the senior brother hangs up, which is good for the lord. Xu Shu thinks so, it is not a matter of falling into the ground, loyalty to the Lord and remembering his senior brother are completely different things.
After getting this news, the military advisors actually had a unified opinion, that is, to save Cao Cao.
Qin Feng didn't expect Xi Zhicai to die, but the military advisors agreed on the contrary and asked, "Why?" β
After a small meeting between the military advisors, a representative of Xun Yu spoke, saying: "Lord, Liu Xuande's success is completely dependent on Mr. Xi Zhicai's strategy, and after Mr. Xi Zhicai's death, Liu Xuande is not Yuan Benchu's opponent at all. If there was a lord in Jizhou, after Yuan Benchu won, he would not dare to attack Qingzhou on a large scale. β
"But if the lord personally led troops to support Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu would definitely take advantage of the lord's absence in Jizhou to mobilize forces on a large scale to attack Qingzhou. When Yuan Benchu's army left Jizhou in large numbers, the lord could capture the plain by surprise, and the capture of the plain cut off the connection between Yuan Shao and Jizhou, and Yuan Shao's main force was isolated in Qingzhou, and Jizhou was at his fingertips. β
The military advisors are excited, and this strategy is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for their own forces.
Obviously, if Qin Feng went to support Cao Cao in person, Yuan Shao would definitely let go of his hands and feet to storm Liu Bei's Qingzhou. Qin Feng only needs the right time to kill a horse gun, not to take Jizhou first, but to cut off the connection between Yuan Shao and Jizhou. After Yuan Shao's large army was cut off in Qingzhou, it was only a matter of time before Qin Feng took Jizhou.
Now it is to let Yuan Shao fight out, and if his garrison in Jizhou is thin, Qin Feng's opportunity will come out completely.
This idea is really good, Qin Feng made a decision at that time.
"But let's eat first." Qin Feng said with a smile.
The military advisors laughed, no matter what time it was, their lord was very stable. This is a quality that many people do not possess, and at some point, it will play a decisive role.
In fact, Qin Feng's heart was not stable at all, if his alliance with Cao Cao was defeated this time, the situation would be extremely bad. He couldn't help but scold Yuan Shao for being an idiot, there were so many enemies around, he knew how to stab his former brother with a knife. "At the beginning, didn't you know that the three young people in the capital were the thorns in the eyes of the princes of the whole world? Fool ....... β
In a very good atmosphere, Qin Feng and his military advisors enjoyed a hearty lunch.
In the afternoon, Qin Feng summoned Cheng Yu. (To be continued.) )
