Qin Feng asked Yang Hong and the others again: "Zang Ba sent an army of 50,000 miles from Xuzhou to attack Runan, isn't Cao Cao worried that Yuan Tan of Qingzhou will send troops to capture Xuzhou?" ”

Yan Xiang reminded Qin Feng: "Don't forget, after Yuan Shao's death, the conflict between the Yuan brothers broke out, Yuan Tan put all his mind on dealing with Yuan Shang at the moment, how could he have the heart to attack Xuzhou?" ”

Qin Feng nodded after listening, this is indeed a very realistic and objective question, Yuan Tan thinks that he is the eldest son, and he should inherit Yuan Shao's career, and he also suspects that Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others have changed Yuan Shao's will, because when Yuan Shao died of illness, he was in Qingzhou at the time, not in Yecheng, which gave him enough reason to suspect that Yuan Shang was not in the right position.

Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh: "Cao Cao really deserves to be Cao Cao, who would have thought that he would let Xuzhou send troops to attack Runan, I am afraid that Liu Bei will be more auspicious this time, if Cao Cao is not fully prepared and grasped, he will definitely not make a move easily!" ”

"It's just that I don't know something, Cao Cao issued an edict in the name of the imperial court in advance to let Liu Bei and other princes send troops to attack my Nanyang, and he secretly sent Zang Ba to send troops to stab Liu Bei in the back, he is consuming the prestige of the imperial court, which prince will dare to serve the edict in the future?"

Yang Hong stroked his long beard and said: "My lord, the imperial court is just a tool of Cao Cao, the tool is used, and it does need to be maintained, but in order to achieve the goal, it is inevitable that the tool will suffer some damage, as long as the profit is greater than the loss!" ”

"Besides, afterwards, Cao Cao can also pretend to reprimand Zang Ba in the name of the imperial court, transfer him to other places, and make an appearance for the princes of the world, This hand has been played by Cao Cao perfectly!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but feel that he was making sense after listening to Yang Hong's words, this guy analyzed Cao Cao very thoroughly, Cao Cao was indeed very good at playing with power.

He asked: "Now I don't know what the situation is in Runan, Liu Bei sent someone to ask for help, whether he wants to send troops, is it too late?" ”

Xu Shu stood up and arched his hand and said: "Lord, I thought that the lord should send troops, Cao Cao's intention was to gradually encroach on the princes of the world, and now the lord and Liu Bei have relieved the siege of their allies, and it stands to reason that they should also send troops to rescue each other, and the calculation is not for Liu Bei to see, but also for the princes of the world!" ”

Qin Feng nodded, touched his chin and looked at Gan Ning and said, "Without further ado, Xingba, you quickly go and order two thousand men and horses to rescue Runan City with me, and quietly go out of the city tonight!" ”

"Yes!" Gan Ning clenched his fists and agreed, turned around and left quickly.

Qin Feng asked Yang Hong again: "Who is the Cao army besieging Yecheng now?" ”

"Cao Ren!" Yang Hong said.

Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh: "It's him again?" ”

Everyone laughed.

Cao Ren led 20,000 people to besiege Yecheng, but it has not been attacked, Wen Ping, who guarded Yecheng, saw that Cao's army only besieged but did not attack, so he did not send people to break through to Wancheng for help, Yecheng's city wall was heightened and reinforced, and many arrow towers and enemy towers were added, and the defensive strength was improved more than a notch, and there were 3,000 defenders in the city, even if Cao Ren had 30,000 horses, he was not afraid.

The strength in Wancheng is now only 10,000 horses, and it is easy to use, since Yecheng did not send people to ask for help, it also means that the problem is not big, and the spies of Eagle Eye have also been staring at Yecheng, and Cao Jun's actions will be sent to Wancheng every two days, so Xu Shu did not send troops.

After the military meeting, everyone dispersed, and Qin Feng returned to the backyard of the Taishou Mansion.

"How's it going?" Xiao Qiao hugged the child and asked him when he saw Qin Feng coming back.

Qin Feng said: "Cao Cao played a hand to repair the plank road to secretly Chen Cang, Yin Liu Bei, and clearly issued an edict to let Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Liu Biao and others send troops to attack my Nanyang, and wait for Liu Bei and others to make a gesture at the border, he immediately ordered Zang Ba, who was far away in Xuzhou, to send 50,000 troops to quietly kill the next onslaught in Runan City, Liu Bei received the news that he had led the army back to help, and when he left, he also sent people to ask for help, hoping that our army would jointly send troops to relieve the siege of Runan City! ”

Xiao Qiao thought for a while and said: "It is necessary for you to send troops, the importance of Runan to Nanyang is self-evident, as long as Runan is not in Cao Cao's hands, Cao Cao will not dare to go all out to deal with Nanyang!" This is a practical benefit, and after you send troops, the princes of the world can also see that you are a qualified ally, and if there is a need in the future, they will definitely give priority to forming an alliance with you! ”

Qin Feng nodded: "Yes, it is better to send troops sooner rather than later, I will lead the troops to set off tonight!" ”

Xiao Qiao said: "Now there are only 10,000 troops in Wancheng, if you bring too many troops, it will cause Wancheng to be empty, and if someone seizes the opportunity to attack Wancheng, it will be troublesome!" ”

Qin Feng took the child and said, "Don't worry, it's enough for me to bring only two thousand cavalry!" ”

Xiao Qiao made a suggestion: "I think you can go to Yecheng first, and you don't need to meet Cao Ren when you pass by Yecheng, just let him know that you are here!" ”

Qin Feng touched his chin: "I just wanted to meet him!" ”

That night, Qin Feng and Gan Ning led two thousand cavalry to quietly leave the city and head in the direction of Yecheng.

Within his control, Qin Feng didn't need to worry about being ambushed, he marched overnight, rested during the day, and arrived in Yecheng in only two days.

The smoke and dust rising into the sky and the sound of a large number of horses' hooves coming from the distance like rolling thunder, everything indicated that a powerful cavalry was rapidly approaching, and when they saw the banner on the banner, the scouts scattered around Cao's army quickly galloped in the direction of the main camp.

"Newspaper—"

"Newspaper—"

The sentry rode into the camp and rushed directly to the tent of the Chinese army.

"Report - General Qiyu, there are thousands of cavalry in the southwest direction coming quickly, dust is flying in the distance, smoke and dust are rising into the sky, under the banner of Qin, I am afraid that there are only five or six thousand people and horses, thirty miles away from here!"

The scout's report was not wrong, Qin Feng only had 2,000 people with this Qiqi, but there were 5,000 horses, of which 1,000 horses were responsible for transporting supplies, and 4,000 horses were used for soldiers to rotate and ride, so looking at its size, it was inferred that there were about 5,000 people and horses.

Hearing the scout's report, Cao Ren's face was solemn, under the banner of Qin, could it be that Qin Feng returned to Nanyang from Guanzhong? Didn't he lead his troops to fight Ma Teng? How did it end up here?

"General, Qin Feng is here with the cavalry, did you withdraw the men and horses besieging the city first?" Adjutant General Wang Shuang reminded.

Cao Ren came back to his senses and immediately ordered: "Quickly order the besieging men and horses to withdraw, quickly!" ”

As soon as Cao's soldiers and horses withdrew to the camp from outside Yecheng, Qin Feng took the invitation to kill near the camp, and this cavalry ran around the camp under his leadership.

The soldiers of the Cao army on the wall of the camp were so nervous that their palms were sweating, and the 20,000 people were so frightened by the 2,000 people that they didn't dare to come out of the camp, and only Cao Ren, who had been destroyed by Qin Feng's cavalry, could do this kind of thing, and if they were others, they would definitely lead the army to kill like a stunned man.
