Chapter 224: Trouble for Cao Cao
Soon, Pang Tong was found.
After being a general for a few days, Pang Tong's face was a little more rigid, his eyes were much sharper, and he was in the company of the soldiers, adding a bit of killing aura to his body.
To put it simply, it's already like a general.
"My lord." After Pang Tong entered the study, he immediately saluted Liu Feng.
"Shiyuan, come and see, if Cao Ren sends troops from Wancheng to attack my five cities in Jiangbei, do you think that with our current army, can you hold it?" Liu Fengzheng was thinking hard about the strategy of defending the city, and when he saw Pang Tong walking in, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately got up and said.
"Huh?" Pang Tong was taken aback, but then realized something, frowned and came to Liu Feng's side, looking at the map on the ground.
The marks on the map are very clear, north of the Yangtze River, five cities are within the attack range of Wancheng. It may be very difficult to hold on to it with the current military strength.
Cao Ren's army was an elite soldier who followed Cao Ying's southern expedition to the north and unified the Central Plains. There's nothing better at conquering cities than they are.
"What news did the lord receive?" Pang Tong looked at it for a while, his brows suddenly stretched, and he looked up at Liu Fengdao.
"Well, Cao Ying sent an envoy over, named me the Marquis of Guannei, and added General Yang Wu, it seems that the emperor's grace is mighty, but I suspect that he is hiding a knife in his smile, first paralyzing me, and then attacking my five cities in Jiangbei." Liu Feng nodded and said.
"I'm afraid that's not only that, he added the lord as the Marquis of Guan Nei for no reason, General Yang Wu must have also considered it, it will arouse the suspicion of the lord. If the lord is suspicious, there will be two reactions, one is to empty the five cities, to the south of the Yangtze River, to avoid the edge for the time being, this is cowardice. Now although the prestige of the lord is gradually rising, his foundation is shallow, and if he is timid, it will be a big blow to his prestige. As he spoke, Pang Tong's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he raised his head to look at Liu Feng, seeing that Liu Feng's expression remained unchanged, he listened quietly.
Then, he said: "Second, if the lord has the idea of defending the city to the death, then he will pile up a large number of soldiers to defend the five cities. When the time comes, Cao Ren will take it in one fell swoop, and the lord will definitely lose his troops. The vitality is greatly damaged, and this is an even bigger blow. ”
Liu Feng didn't think as deeply as Pang Tong, but after listening to Pang Tong's words, he immediately realized the trickiness.
What kind of confidence this is, release the news in advance, I'm going to hit you. I'm not afraid that you will retreat, and I am not afraid that you will accumulate troops and defend the city.
After Cao Ying unified the north, his domineering spirit was exposed.
"In his eyes, I'm just a dish." Liu Feng's eyes flashed with coldness, but he smiled angrily.
I thought that defeating Zhou Yu would at least deter the people around me a little. Unexpectedly, in Cao Ying's eyes, this may be just two weak princes pinching each other.
Pang Tong didn't reply, the current Liu Feng seems to be strong, but he is actually still very weak. It's not as powerful as Jiangdong, and it's not even as powerful as Liu Biao.
No matter how strong Liu Feng's ability is, he is still a child before he grows up. Cao Ying thought that Cao Ren's 25,000 male soldiers could eat five cities.
It's self-confidence, not pride. Cao Ren has this qualification.
"This city will be defended. If you retreat without a fight, you can save your power, but you can't afford to hurt it. Liu Feng turned his head to Pang Tong and expressed his determination in his heart.
How to defend the city has to be discussed.
"The last general has a plan in mind to defend the city. But I'm afraid that if Cao Ren is driven away, it will be Cao Ying's 100,000 army. Pang Tong said something that made Liu Feng's eyes light up, and then, he pointed to the side and said: "The senior cadre of Bingzhou is not a person with outstanding ability, and Cao Ying's attack can be conquered in less than three months." I guess if Cao Ren really came to attack, it should be when Cao Ren's class teacher returned to Xudu. If Cao Ren's army is defeated, Cao Ying may personally go south. ”
Liu Fengting's brows furrowed, if Cao Ying went south in person, wouldn't the five cities still have to give up?
Cao Ren Liu Feng was confident to defend it, but Cao Ying led 100,000 troops to the south, and his little Jiangxia was what to guard. It will also trigger the Battle of Chibi in advance, and the battlefield is not in Xiangyang, but in Jiangxia. The consequences are terrible.
"Shi Yuan is trying to persuade me to stay away for the time being." Liu Feng heard Pang Tong's off-string sound.
"Yes, bear the burden." Pang Tong nodded and said, he was very sensible, giving up five cities only lost his prestige. And if you stick to the city, you will be greatly damaged.
In comparison, it is more appropriate to abandon the city.
Of course Liu Feng is not reconciled, five cities.
"Shi Yuan will talk about what can be done to defeat Cao Ren." Liu Feng raised his head, his eyes flashing with unwillingness.
Seeing this, although Pang Tong felt that it was inappropriate in his heart, he didn't say anything anymore. The so-called military advisor only provides advice, and it is Liu Feng who really makes the decision.
He knew how heart-wrenching it was to lose five cities as a prince.
"Please let me go home." Pang Tong raised his fists.
"Go and get back." Liu Feng stared at the five cities on the map without raising his head. Seeing this, Pang Tong sighed in his heart, turned around and walked out.
"I've seen you, sir." At the door, Pang Tong met Cai Yu who came to see Liu Feng, and Cai Yu saluted Pang Tong.
Although Cai Yu has never seen Pang Tong, he roughly knows what Pang Tong looks like, and how much Liu Feng favors Pang Tong.
"Ma'am." Pang Tong didn't recognize Cai Yu, but seeing that Cai Yu was dressed as a woman and had an elegant temperament, she should be Liu Feng's concubine, so she was not rude, nodded and called Mrs., and then turned around and left.
From Pang Tong's hurried back, Cai Yu's expression couldn't help but become solemn, didn't something big happen?
Thinking about it, Cai Yu stopped in front of the door of the study for a moment, and did not walk in, but turned around and went back to his yard. didn't bother Liu Feng.
Liu Feng had no way of knowing that his double marriage plan had already been completed by Cai Yu.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't be happy. At this time, facing Cao Ying is a big deal.
In the study, Liu Feng stared at the map on the ground. In his eyes, bloodshot gradually appeared. It took only four cities to defeat Zhou Yu, and five cities would be lost in the blink of an eye.
And if you don't fight and retreat, you can't afford to be hurt. I really can't afford to hurt.
How can you defeat Cao Ren without facing Cao Ren's revenge. Liu Feng's brain was running rapidly, and if it developed in a normal order, it would be almost impossible.
Unless there is a problem inside Cao Ying.
In Liu Feng's mind, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and the famous edict appeared. That little emperor has now grown up Chengren.
Immediately, Liu Feng shook his head again, the power is too weak, and Dong Cheng's power is too weak. No way.
Now that Cao Ying has almost swept Hebei again, Yuan Shao's two sons are still lingering in the borderlands. It doesn't pose a threat at all.
Liu Feng's vision gradually spread, Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui, Hanzhong Zhang Lu, and Liaodong Gongsun Kang.
Ma Teng Han was too far away, and the envoy was too slow to arrive. Liu Feng set his sights on Gongsun Kang. His eyes gradually brightened, he was familiar with history, and knew that at this time, Yuan Shao's two sons were in the border area, planning to use Karasuma as a backup to attack Cao Ying.
It's a lingering breath. Cao Ying can be calmed down at once, and he doesn't even need to be personally guarded, some of his generals in Hebei can resist.
But what if you add Gongsun Kang? The Gongsun clan of Liaodong has already established the second generation, and the politics are clear, opening up Sanhan to the south and attacking the nomads to the north, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and it is powerful in East Asia.
I remember that it is recorded in history that Yuan Shao's two sons arrived at Karasuma and united with Karasuma, Cao Ying felt threatened, so he raised troops to extinguish Karasuma, and then Yuan Shao's two sons fled to Liaodong, Guo Jia's plan was to appease Gongsun Kang and induce Gongsun Kang to kill Yuan Shao, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang.
The North was settled.
If this is the case, send an envoy to Liaodong, state the interests to Gongsun Kang, and let him unite with the Yuan Shang brothers. Let the Yuan family resurrect and let Cao Ying burn his ass. There is no time to go south.
The more he thought about it, the brighter Liu Feng's eyes became, so he used this method. Even if this method can't stop Cao Ying, he Liu Feng will not retreat without a fight and give up the five cities.
At least to defeat Cao Ren. Based on Jiangxia and looking around at the great enemy, how can people think that the lord of Jiangxia is a cowardly person?
"Come on, go and find the people who are engaged in Iraq." Liu Feng was still staring at the map on the ground, and said loudly to the door without looking back.
"No."
Another promise, the soldier quickly went to look for the Yi nationality.
Since you know history, if you don't take advantage of it, you'll be sorry for yourself. After ordering someone to find the Yi nationality, Liu Feng quickly sat on the main seat and waited for the arrival of the Yi nationality.
Thinking of his Yi nationality, Liu Feng was really helpless. Now Jiangxia is governed by Iraq, and all kinds of affairs are arranged by Iraq. Now that it is dispatched, there will be no officials available.
The only thing that is gratifying is that this person is still relatively good at envoys. I remember that in the history books, Zhuge Liang often sent Iraqi envoys to Eastern Wu. Maintain relations between the two countries.
Now it can only be dispatched first, and Cao Ying's matter is the top priority.
Just thinking about it, Yi Ji had been brought by the soldiers, walked in, bent down to Liu Feng and saluted, "My lord." At about the time of the front and rear feet, Pang Tong also walked in. Holding a small bottle in his hand.
Liu Feng saw that the two of them arrived before and after, and he also saved the time to bring back and explain to Pang Tong.
"Shi Yuan came just in time, and I was about to send Ji Bo to Liaodong."
"If you go to Liaodong, the journey is long, and I'm afraid there will be accidents. Moreover, with empty words, that Gongsun Kang may not deal with Cao Ying for the sake of the lord. Pang Tong frowned and said.
"What happened?" Yi Zhi said inexplicably.
"Wancheng Cao Ren may be going south." Liu Feng explained.
"The five cities in Jiangbei are in danger." Yi Zhi changed his way.
Immediately, Liu Feng explained in detail to Yi Yuan, and also revealed that he wanted him to envoy to Liaodong.
Yi nationality has no opinion on the envoy, since he came to Jiangxia, he consciously was valued by Liu Feng and entrusted with the major affairs of the county. Now that he sees that Jiangxia is in a big disaster, his heart is full of determination to take responsibility. It's just that.
"Shi Yuan is right, if it is empty words. I'm afraid that Gongsun Kang will not agree to unite with the Yuan Shang brothers. Food, gold and silver. Maybe there's still a chance. "The Iraqi have the same concerns as Pang Tong.
But when Jiangxia went to Liaodong, he had to pass through the Central Plains and Hebei under the control of Cao Ying. How is it possible to travel through the past with a lot of food, jewelry?
