In 198 A.D.,

Jian'an for three years, in late October in winter.

Cao Cao killed Lu Bu, pacified the counties of Xuzhou, and Chu Feng's rescue failed, so far, Cao Cao completely controlled all parts of Xuzhou, and his power was unprecedented.

Even Yuan Shao, Hebei, is faintly difficult to suppress its edge.

Of course, the Central Plains is dilapidated, slightly worse than Hebei, but the Central Plains is the foundation of the world, once Cao Cao is allowed to recuperate, Yuan Shao will be invincible.

And the news of Cao Cao's killing of Lu Bu became known to the world in a blink of an eye, coupled with Cao Cao's great righteousness of coercing the Son of Heaven, countless wealthy families all went back and forth.

————

Xiapi, inside the General's Palace.

It's been half a month since the Battle of Xiapi,

Cao Jun is also in good repair, and even Zang Ba has already gone to the north of Xuzhou first, ready to start seeking Qingzhou, and Cao Jun is also preparing to return to the court in the next two days.

At this moment, everyone in the palace gathered.

All of them discussed some details of governance, among which Chen Deng spoke the most, and the next thing here is his territory, and he has to manage it conscientiously.

"Report~, Lord Qi, Chu Army, Chu Army went to the southeast!" The horse galloped in, and shouted urgently.

"What do you say? Ben to the southeast? Isn't he in the southwest? Cao Cao's brows furrowed suddenly, and then his pupils shrank: "Guangling? ”

Chen Deng was also nervous, his father was still in Guangling, if Chu Feng went to Guangling, wouldn't that mean...

"Lord, it seems that Chu Feng doesn't want to return to Shouchun in peace, this time Yuanlong is in Xiapi, Guangling is empty, and his rate will inevitably fall to the wind,"

Guo Jia's expression tightened, and he said.

As soon as Chu Feng left, they had an embankment, and Chu Feng went back to take Guangling, but he didn't expect Chu Feng to really dare to take it, wasn't he afraid that the logistics supply would not be enough?

Cao Cao nodded, looking worried.

As for the generals under his command, they are full of righteous indignation at this moment.

"Lord, Chu Feng doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, we have already let him go, but he has to make an inch, and the last general will ask for battle, and he is willing to lead his troops to Guangling to take his head!"

Xiahou Yuan immediately clasped his fists and shouted angrily.

"The last general will ask for battle and punish Chu Feng." Lejin also shouted angrily.

"The last general is invited to fight...."

For a while, all the generals shouted angrily.

Cao Cao frowned and didn't speak,

Cao Ren, as the head of the three armies, pondered slightly, and immediately spoke: "Lord, the military heart is available, and the general thinks that it is better to slow down Yuan Shao and rush to take Shouchun." ”

"Yuan Shaoshang is still at peace with the lord, it is not advisable to take it in a hurry, but Chu Feng and the lord are enemies of life and death, and now he wants to take the opportunity to seize Guangling, he simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!"

"The last general asks for his life, and he is willing to take Shouchun directly, and he can let Xu Du send someone to respond, and Sun Ce, the three ways are out, I want to see what Chu Feng is fighting!"

Cao Ren's words were a little angry,

Obviously, he was very aggrieved that night before.

"Yes, what General Cao Ren said is very true!"

"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!" Xu Huang also spoke.

Chu Feng is awesome, even if he is terrible, he is fleeing like a lost dog at this moment, and he even dares to seek their territory, and he simply doesn't take them seriously.

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

Cao Cao also raised his eyebrows, to be honest, he really wanted to kill Chu Feng, one was that this person killed many of his generals, and the other was that he had ruined his own good deeds many times!

From any point of view, you have a reason to kill.

Immediately, he looked at Guo Jia and the others, and asked in a deep voice: "Fengxiao, Gongda, Yuanlong, what do you think should be?" Do you want to capture Shouchun? ”

Several people glanced at each other, Chen Deng was a little humble, after all, he joined Cao Cao's camp later, and it was not suitable to speak at the moment, Guo Jiaxun glanced at it,

Xun You chuckled and said, "Dare to ask the generals, even if you are brave and good at fighting and can break through Shouchun, then how can you cross the Yangtze River?" ”

"Chu Feng is not Lu Bu and the like, even if the lord gathers all his forces to fight at the moment, at most he will take the north of the Yangtze River, and he will retreat to the south of the Yangtze River."

"And this battle is destined to be protracted, once our army is mired in the quagmire in Shouchun, and it will be impossible to withdraw from the decisive battle with Yuan Shao."

Speaking of this, Xun You said earnestly: "Lord, although the two Yuan are capable, but who is the current enemy of the lord must be clearly distinguished. ”

"Chu Feng is just in a corner, a few counties. And once Yuan Shao breaks through Yijing, he will be in the green and secluded and the four states of Hebei, with a million, how can he indulge it? ”

"I think that when you take the initiative to make peace with Chu Feng and wait for the general, as for the Guangling, the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is better to cede it to him as a favor."

"And the lord should take advantage of the fact that Gongsun Chan is still alive, the two wings are approaching, and when the time is ripe, he can go straight to Yecheng with a thunderous momentum and fight to the death with Yuan Shao!"

"Yuan Shao is destroyed, there are thirteen states in the world, and the lord monopolizes eight states, when the time comes, the lord will bring the general trend of the world, and he will come to Yangzhou and Jingzhou without a fight!"

Xun You's words are sonorous and powerful!

And after he finished speaking, all the generals of the Cao army bowed their heads in shame, Xun You was indeed right, even if they were brave and took Shouchun, but they expected to cross the river?

Guo Jia nodded with a beard, and his expression should be very different from what he thought.

Cao Cao shook his head with emotion, the two Xun under his command are really awesome, a talented man in the world, stable rear for himself, and invincible in strategy and tactics.

Tsk, tsk!

But the only bad thing may be that they are all Yingchuan factions, and almost all of the scribes under their command are from Yingchuan, although they can be borrowed to start a family.

But it will also become a burden in the future!

Of course, this is also what those in power fear the most.

The bird is hidden from the bow, and the rabbit and the dead dog are never absent, otherwise the Yingchuan faction is too big, and Cao Cao even planned in his heart that after taking Yecheng, he would wait for the opportunity to move the capital to Luoyang or Yecheng.

At the very least, it can reduce the control of the Yingchuan faction and support some new factions by the way.

"Gongda's words, I suddenly woke up." Cao Cao laughed heartily: "Just Chu Feng, let him develop, it's just a corner, don't worry!" ”

"Then cede Guangling and Chu Feng and send someone to negotiate with them."

"Isn't he? If he is still worried at that time, I can send my third daughter Cao Hua to Shouchun, and it will be good for Qin and Jin! ”

Cao Cao is not stingy, Cao Hua's appearance is true to his daughter, but he is notoriously beautiful. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty specifically recorded Cao Hua's beauty,

The teeth are like rhinoceros, the skin is like clotted fat, and the smile is clever.

"The lord is wise!"

All the civil and military officers spoke in unison.

"Lord, since Gongda has already said the strategic layout, then this trip to envoy Chu Feng, you might as well let Jia go." Guo Jia said with a chuckle.

"It's... The thief is treacherous, I'm worried that he will not be good for you! Cao Cao hesitated, muttering a little.

"My lord, Chu Feng was born into a famous family, and he is a prince, I meet in the name of the messenger, how dare he disadvantage me? Aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you when the time comes? ”

Guo Jia disagreed,

The two armies will not fight each other, this is an agreement,

He even had to send someone to protect the safety of the envoy, not to mention that Chu Feng was still a famous family, if he did some shady deeds, I am afraid that his face would be disgraceful!

"Okay, then this time you will be sent by Fengxiao, remember, don't be careless!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he said to the side: "Lejin, you will support the military advisor on this trip!" ”

"No!" Lejin immediately responded.

"Fengxiao, you go on this trip, rehabilitate Chu Feng's crimes, move him to General Wei, rank more than the third duke, seal Shouchun County, lead Jiujiang Taishou, Yangzhou Assassin History!"

Cao Cao pondered a little and said immediately.

The positions of the three generals of Hussar, Che Cavalry, and General Wei are better than those of the three dukes, and giving Chu Feng can be regarded as giving him face, not to mention that the Hou of Shouchun County is a real Marquis of Wanhu.

Of course, it's just a name!

"Jia understands, but my lord, if Chu Feng makes some other demands, can Jia make a decision?" Guo Jia tried to ask, he has to control his own bargaining chips in this kind of negotiation.

"As long as it's not too excessive, it's up to you to handle it!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, he was still very confident in Guo Jia's ability to do things.

"In that case, Jia will pack his bags and chase after him!" Guo Jia didn't want to stay, so he immediately clenched his fists and said.

Because of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao still chose to negotiate peace with Chu Feng, and in history, he also used his daughter to envelop Sun Ce before Guandu.

"Be careful on the road!" Cao Cao said with concern, accompanied Guo Jia out of the house, and said: "Come on, go and move my horse to the shadow, and Fengxiao you take it over." ”

Guo Jia didn't say much, but he was very moved by what Cao Cao did to him.

You must know that although Jueying is not as good as Chitu, it is also a good horse, a good horse who travels thousands of miles a day and eight hundred miles at night, and the only thing he can do is to talk about it.

————

In the blink of an eye, it was noon two days later.

Guangling, where Yangzhou was located in later generations. Located in the rivers and seas, the land is vast and rich, but the population is sparse, the prosperity is only hundreds of thousands of people, after many wars, Guangling is not as good as in the past.

At this moment, the Guangling City Lord's Mansion.

Chen Qi was originally looking at the ancient books, but he could see that the housekeeper came over in a hurry, and couldn't help but put down the ancient books and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Family master, woe, Chu army, Chu army is here, just outside the city!" The butler looked nervous and said eagerly.

"What do you say? Chu Jun? The Chu army is not withdrawing Shou... Could it be that Chu Feng didn't retreat, and came directly to my Guangling? Chen Jue's eyes shrank and he said coldly.

"It must be so, my lord, what now?" The housekeeper was anxious, and most of the soldiers and horses in the city were taken by Chen Deng to gallop to Cao Cao's aid.

There are also 3,000 soldiers in the city, where is the opponent of the Chu army.

"What's the panic?" Chen Qi shook his sleeves and snorted, and immediately squinted his pupils and began to ponder, he was still unsure of the purpose of Chu Feng's visit.

But it's obviously the next step to stick to it!

"In this way, you immediately send someone to inform Chen Deng, and ask him to do everything possible to get Cao Cao to send reinforcements. I'll meet this Chu Feng when I go to the city now! ”

Chen Qi immediately said.

Then, he brought the soldiers of the city to the city.

He and Yuan Shu were friends, but because Yuan Shu said that the emperor wanted him to assist him, he refused, and since then he has been a bad friend, and he has some grievances with the Yuan family.

The most famous of these is that he and Chen Deng persuaded Lu Bu to kill the head of Yuan Shu's envoy.

Shaoqing, the head of the city.

Chu Feng stood in front of the army, carrying a halberd.

Next to him, Yan Xiang said in a deep voice: "Lord, there are definitely not many defenders in Guangling City, but that Chen Qi and Yuan Gong are old acquaintances, and even have many grievances!" ”

"Got a grudge? Hehe, that's easy to do, then use this as an excuse to raid his house! Chu Feng had a gloomy gaze, he was not a good person.

Chen Deng's support for Cao Cao is not mentioned for the time being, that Chen Deng has outstanding ability, although his popularity in later generations is not very high, and he is mostly obscene in film and television dramas, but this person's talent is definitely good.

If so, where is your prestige?

"Lord, don't be reckless, then Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son are the strongest families in Xuzhou, if the Chen family is destroyed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the lord to settle in Xuzhou in the future."

Yan Xiang hurriedly explained.

"That's just as well!" Chu Feng pursed the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, it was a pity that he couldn't kill the Chen family and his son, but it didn't seem to be a good thing to kill him.

After all, Chen Deng is in Xiapi, wouldn't killing Chen Deng completely have the same heart as Cao Cao?

"Virtuous nephew, you really make me want to see it, since I knew that Brother Highway has such an eldest son as you, I have long wanted to meet you,"

"When I saw it today, it was really a hero out of a young man." Chen Qi is over half a hundred years old, and he belongs to the kind of people who see people and talk to people, and shouted with a smile on the surface.

"Huh!" Chu Feng chuckled, and then said, "The little nephew has arrived in the city, won't Uncle Chen open the city gate to welcome him?" ”

"Virtuous nephew, the fine armor behind you can make my heart tremble, if you are alone, Uncle Chen will definitely entertain you today!" Chen Qi said with a chuckle.

"If Uncle Chen thinks, the little nephew will enter the city alone!"

Chen Qi: "??? ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, he couldn't fix it!

Good guy, don't play cards according to the routine, aren't you afraid of your own? However, when I thought of Chu Feng's various rumors, coupled with his war halberd,

Chen Qi shrank his head, a little timid!

There is no way, he often rushes into battle single-handedly, kills hundreds of people at every turn, and breaks the enemy alone, Chen Qi is afraid that the group of miscellaneous soldiers behind him will not have the ability!

"Ahem, Xian, virtuous nephew, that's good!"

"Coercion!" Chu Feng's voice was very loud, and he shouted in front of countless people.

He thought that Chen Jue would dare to try it, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't even dare to keep any of them.

"Listen to the defenders in the city, Chen Qi is a member of the Chen family, no one can do anything to him, but you are as cheap as an ant, you can be punished at any time, if you want to live, then be honest!"

Chu Feng raised his halberd and shouted angrily.

As he spoke, countless armorers showed a little panic.

"Order, all departments set up camp, build engineering equipment, and in three days, give me a breakthrough in Guangling." Chu Feng looked back and looked at the Jia Shidao behind him.

Chu Feng could see the exhaustion on the faces of these people, these people were tired of it, they had to hurry up and take Guangling back to repair, they would definitely lose if they went on like this.

"No!" The generals of all the departments responded in unison.

Immediately, the generals of the various departments began to settle their subordinates, set up simple camps, and focused on building siege equipment.

However, every move of the Chu army is orderly, and it also makes the county soldiers at the head of the city beat the drum in their hearts, and it is a bit useful for them to hang a bandit.

Truly fighting with these elite divisions is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it will be vulnerable.

The outside of the city was in full swing, and the city was also busy, and began to carry all kinds of rolling wood and stones for defending the city.

And for a long time, not far outside the city.

A group of more than a dozen rode over, led by Guo Jia, at this moment he looked at the Chu army in the distance, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally caught up.

"Go, inform Chu Feng, and say that Cao Cao's envoy Guo Jia wants to see him!"
