Chapter 650 Sending troops to Youzhou
Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Zhao Fei suddenly secretly said that it was not good. Through Cao Cao's expression, Zhao Fei immediately knew what Cao Cao was secretly thinking. But Cao Cao shouldn't know about this, why did he look at himself with such an expression.
Suddenly, Zhao Fei thought of Guo Jia, except for this kid, I am afraid that no one knows about his private affairs. Thinking of this, Zhao Fei turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and then showed an unusually angry look.
Seeing Zhao Fei like this, Guo Jia hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Zhao Fei's expression was as if he was going to kill someone, and Guo Jia naturally wouldn't admit that this matter had anything to do with him. Besides, this matter really has little to do with him, after all, he is not a talkative person.
When everyone saw Guo Jia and Zhao Fei's appearance, they couldn't help laughing. Looking at everyone in the council room, Zhao Fei suddenly came back to his senses. No wonder everyone's expressions were so strange, it turned out that everyone was suppressing the smile in their hearts.
At this moment, Zhao Fei suddenly shook his head helplessly. The truth is that good things don't go out, evil things go thousands of miles, and I haven't seen them for a few days, and my notoriety has been known to so many people.
Seeing Zhao Fei's expression, Cao Cao spoke out to stop everyone's laughter. Jokes should be done in moderation, after all, if the joke is too much, it will attract the disgust of others.
After appeasing Zhao Fei a few words, Cao Cao then began to talk about business. You must know that the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi in Youzhou have become thorns in Cao Cao's eyes, and if he doesn't pull these two out, he will definitely have trouble sleeping.
"Pengju has rested for a few days, I wonder if you have a good plan to break the enemy?" Cao Cao turned his head to Zhao Fei and asked. However, his expression was still very weird, which made Zhao Fei feel quite helpless.
Dealing with Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, Zhao Fei really didn't think there was anything to discuss. Whether it is strength or combat effectiveness, Cao's army is far stronger than Youzhou's army. Moreover, Yuan Xi has been scared like this by Cao Jun, how can his army be Cao Jun's opponent.
As the so-called soldiers are raging, a general is a nest of bears, and a lord is terrified when facing Cao's army, not to mention that the soldiers under his command have reached that point. It is an indisputable fact that the Youzhou Army is not the opponent of the Cao Army, as long as there is no mistake in the battle, it is difficult for the Youzhou Army to make any surprising moves.
told Cao Cao his thoughts, and Cao Cao nodded slightly. What Zhao Fei said is not bad at all, now Cao Jun's momentum is like a rainbow, and the Youzhou Army has been so frightened by Cao Jun that he can't shrink back. Even if they had towering walls, the Youzhou army was still no match for their own army.
In fact, Cao Cao didn't take Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang in his eyes, even if the two of them added a piece, it might not be worth Yuan Shao. Even Yuan Shao is not his opponent, let alone his two unsuccessful sons.
Now that he has made up his mind, Cao Cao decided to send troops to Youzhou tomorrow. At this moment, he was no longer in the mood to spend any more time with Yuan Xi. You must know that Cao Cao's plan is very long-term, after destroying Yuan Xi. After Cao Jun recuperated for a while, he prepared to march directly to Jingzhou.
Everyone knows that Jingzhou is definitely the richest. After taking Jingzhou, there is no enemy in the world who can compete with him. For Jingzhou, Cao Cao is definitely inevitable. He thought that handing over Jingzhou to Liu Biao was really a kind of resource.
At this time, Cao Cao couldn't wait to take Jingzhou. Compared with Jingzhou, Youzhou is really nothing. Therefore, Cao Cao really wanted to cut through the chaos quickly, end the battle of Hebei as soon as possible, and then deal with the Jingzhou group. After all, Jingzhou is more difficult to conquer than Hebei.
Although Liu Biao was only a scribe, his reputation was obviously not bad. Moreover, Jingzhou is rich, so the soldiers under its command are naturally very sufficient. Moreover, Jingzhou is also a place rich in strategists, and it is obviously still a little difficult to take Jingzhou.
Zhao Fei naturally knew Cao Cao's plans, and at the same time, he was also calculating how to take Jingzhou. Because the sooner you take Jingzhou, the sooner you can retire with your success. For Zhao Fei, he obviously wanted to avoid the Battle of Chibi as much as possible.
For the Battle of Chibi, Zhao Fei still has a certain degree of confidence. After all, he knew the details of the Battle of Chibi, as long as the history of burning Chibi did not occur, Zhao Fei was confident that he would destroy the Sun-Liu coalition army with a crushing momentum, after all, the Sun-Liu coalition army was only tens of thousands of people, and they were definitely not Cao's opponents.
Tomorrow is going to go on the expedition again, and Zhao Fei is most worried about his two wives. However, war is not child's play, and Zhao Fei obviously will not agree to the two ladies to walk with him. I thought I would have to spend a lot of words, but the two of them are obviously very knowledgeable.
But it's no wonder that the two of them have been separated from Zhao Fei for so long without any complaints, and now they are just separated for a while, and they don't need to be too much about life and death.
After all the two wives were settled, Zhao Fei went out with the army. And after getting the news, Yuan Xi was obviously shocked for a while. He had long expected that Cao Jun would go on the expedition, but when this moment really came, Yuan Xi said that it was impossible not to worry.
The combat effectiveness of the Cao army is far from being comparable to its own Youzhou army, thinking that Zhang Yan led the army to attack him, although he occupied the geographical advantage by sneak attack, but the army at that time was his own elite division, and when facing the Cao army, it was still defeated.
Yuan Xi knew that those were not the regular army of the Cao army, but just the bandits that existed in Jizhou. In the face of bandits, his own elite will not be able to form an army, if he really faces the elite of the Cao army, then what is the situation of his own situation.
If you really face the elite of Cao Jun, then your result will always be the same as **. Now, both Yuan Tan and ** have reminded Yuan Xi, after all, both of them died in the hands of Cao Jun, if they don't deal with it carefully, the fate of the two of them will be their own end.
"Second brother, the Cao army is coming, can the current city alone withstand the Cao army?" In the conference hall, Yuan Shang asked in a deep voice.
Hearing Yuan Shang's question, Yuan Xi naturally frowned. Now is not the time to discuss this, if you can't resist Cao Jun, then you will only have a dead end. So he looked at Yuan Shang, and then said in a deep voice: "If you can't stop it, you have to block it, do you want to be the same as the eldest brother!" ”
Hearing Yuan Xi's words, Yuan Shang shrunk his neck. I don't want to die, otherwise I wouldn't have risked rushing out of Yecheng that day. Now he can only look forward to Yuan Xi, after all, he is no longer a general, and everything now needs Yuan Xi to protect himself.
But fortunately, at such a moment of crisis, Yuan Xi did not give up on himself. But obviously, he still looked at the face of the wealth of the soldiers he had brought. But no matter what, I'm still alive.
The Youzhou army had long been ready for battle, and since Yuan Xi was defeated by Zhang Yan, he began to find ways to defend Youzhou. However, there is no dangerous place in Youzhou, otherwise he will defend the Cao army according to the terrain, and he will have a surprise effect.
Yuan Xi was not a fool, he naturally would not look at the defense line to fight against Cao's army. He gathered all the forces of Yuan's army and concentrated them in a few more important cities in Youzhou, and as for other places, Cao Jun let them take them if he liked.
"My lord, I think our army should send out all the cavalry. First, you can harass the Cao army from the flank, and second, you can surprise and attack the Cao army. A general Yuan Xi recalled said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Yuan Xi nodded slightly. The cavalry is the elite under his command, although there are not many of them, but they are a force that they rely on for survival. It is obviously very expensive to defend the city with strange soldiers, after all, after getting off the horse, the combat effectiveness of these elites is not as good as stepping up.
"Jiao Touch, gather all the cavalry, and get out of the city tomorrow!" Yuan Xi thought for a while and said. Jiao Touch turned out to be a general under his father's command, but after his father's death, Jiao Touch surrendered to him. So for Yuan Xi, Jiao Touch is definitely trustworthy.
In addition, Jiao Touch's martial arts are really good, so Yuan Xi ordered him to lead the most elite cavalry under his command.
Jiao Feng got up and clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, the last general will definitely complete the task!" "Yuan Xi is good to himself, and he really treats him as a lord. Although Yuan Xi still owes a little heat compared to Yuan Shao, he is obviously also a lord worth following.
However, it is obviously not enough for the cavalry to have Jiao Touch alone, after all, Jiao Touch is only a military general, and he is still insufficient in terms of resourcefulness. For the sake of prudence, Yuan Xi arranged his own bookkeeper Feng Yi to Jiao Touch's side.
In order not to let the two have a disagreement, Yuan Xiqian told him to listen to Feng Yi in everything. After all, Jiao Touch is easy to act recklessly, but Feng Yi will not. He has followed himself for many years, and he has also been the master bookkeeper for many years, so he should not be affected by emotions and make any rash moves.
Although Jiao Touch was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, he also knew that the current form was also intelligent. Cao's army was like a bamboo, not only occupying Jizhou and merging states, but even the eldest prince's Qingzhou was conquered by Cao's army. If he had some strange thoughts at this time, Youzhou would only be conquered by Cao Jun.
"This move is also forced to be helpless, you also know how reckless your own character is, even if there is a lieutenant looking at you, I still don't feel very relieved. It's not that you don't trust you to listen to Feng Yi in everything, but that you're afraid that you will do something stupid! Looking at Jiao Touch, Yuan Xi said in a deep voice.
Jiao Touch controlled his most elite cavalry, and he was afraid that his move would affect Jiao Touch's heart, so he spoke steadily. Jiao Touch nodded fiercely, then turned his head and said to Yuan Xi: "Don't worry, the last general will definitely not be confused at this critical moment of life and death!" ”
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Yuan Xi nodded slightly. Now I have done everything I can do, and now it depends on whether my efforts are effective. If you arrive at Cao Jun, then it's okay to say, if you can't stop it, you have to think of your own way out. He doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to be in a different place with ** Yuan Tan and the others. But he was prepared for this, and of course he didn't want this to happen.
