Chapter 228: Angry Cao Cao, Jia Xu wants to return!
"Waste, Sun Ce, this waste!"
On the chariot, Cao Cao drew his sword, slashed randomly, and finally roared and roared, and the sound echoed in the four fields, which frightened many Cao soldiers and looked around.
Around, the civil and military were all silent and interested.
They all bowed their heads and didn't speak, mainly because they were purely looking for trouble at this time, and they had to wait for Cao Cao to calm down.
"Whew, whew!"
Cao Cao gasped, threw the Yitian Sword on the chariot, his eyes were cold, angry, He had rushed to Shouchun as much as possible, but he still didn't catch up.
The key thing is that he didn't expect that Sun Ce's gang was almost wiped out by Chu Feng, or that it had been wiped out, and only some stragglers were left.
What the fuck can anyone fight?
"Sun Ce was defeated, his troops were defeated, and the camp was pulled out by Chu Feng, what do you think our army should do now?" Cao Cao put down his anger and asked.
"Lord, Sun Ce is stupid, not worth mentioning, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and break the enemy!"
"Lord, the last general is willing to break the city and dedicate Chu Feng's head to the lord."
On both sides, many generals have openings.
All of them have fierce faces, but they are all sloppy and patting horses, they just want to show their faces, not to mention that Cao Cao will not let them go.
Cao Cao was displeased, At this time, it was obviously a stupid act to slap the horse, so he couldn't help but look at Guo Jiaxun and the others, and asked:
"Gongda, Fengxiao, that Sun Ce was stupid and caused the whole army to be annihilated, what do you think should happen in this battle?"
Xun You and Guo Jia looked at each other, Guo Jia smiled bitterly, a little helpless, and hugged his fists and said: "The lord already has a countermeasure in his heart, so why do you need to ask us!" ”
"But when the lord asked, Jia gave his humble opinion."
"In this battle, Sun Ce's army was all damaged, and the momentum of our army has been broken. And our army only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the Chu army is almost the same, even if the soldiers are under the city, how can they break through Shouchun? ”
"What's more, it's early winter, the cold is coming, our army is coming to Xuzhou, the three armies lack things to keep out the cold, if it lasts for a long time, it is really unwise!"
Guo Jia heard that Sun Cezhong was timing before, and he was thinking of countermeasures, and he talked broadly at this moment.
"And what do you think?"
Cao Cao frowned, and asked unwillingly.
"I thought that when the army was withdrawn, the class returned to the DPRK. First, the three armies have been fighting for many years, and they are already tired, so they should take a rest. Second, to recuperate, coordinate the affairs of various states and counties, and mobilize grain, grass and ordnance. ”
"Moreover, according to the speculation of his subordinates, at the latest in the spring of next year, Gongsun Chan will die, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Yuan Shao goes south, and our army should prepare as soon as possible!"
Guo Jia said meaningfully.
He knew that with the defeat of Sun Ce, this battle could already be declared over in advance, and it was meaningless for Cao Jun to continue fighting, but it would waste money and food in vain, and it would even be broken by Chu Feng's sleep.
Cao Cao pondered slightly, still unwilling, looked at Xun You, and asked, "Gongda, what do you think?" ”
"Lord, what Feng Xiao said is the truth, retreat at this moment, first, to rest and recuperate, to wait for the north-south war with Yuan Shao, and secondly, the stalemate is fruitless, just a waste of money and food!"
"You also advise the lord to return to the court."
"And the lord's expedition has lasted for more than half a year, Xuchang is afraid that the undercurrent is surging, and the lord needs to sit in charge, if the stalemate continues, I'm afraid..."
Speaking of which, Xun Yu selectively receives.
"I'm afraid of what?" Cao Cao asked.
"Lord, how did General Zhu Ling die tragically in the first battle of Xuzhou, have you forgotten? If the lord continues to fight, I am afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will worship under Yuan Shao and even Chu Feng. ”
"At that time, the world will no longer have anything to do with you, but his two Yuan." Xun You's words hit the heart directly, making the corners of Cao Cao's eyes twitch instantly.
None of the previous words were as important as this one.
He knows what virtue is civil and military, and now that Yuan Qiang is weak, he thinks that there are already people who have a secret understanding, if he doesn't sit in charge of Xu Chu, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen.
It had already appeared once a few years ago.
Thinking about these clearly, Cao Cao frowned gloomily, looked at Cao Ren next to him, and said: "Cao Ren, go, send an order to the three armies, and prepare to cross the river and return to the court." ”
"No!" Cao Ren nodded immediately.
"Lord, over there with Sun Ce..."Cao Zhen asked.
"Lord, this battle is not a bad thing for the lord, before Sun Ce was attached to the lord, but his subordinates supported the army and respected themselves, after this battle, it can only be used by the lord."
"Sun Ce is a brave person, a rare general, Zhou Yu's military strategy is one of the best, and he can be dispatched by the master." Guo Jia chuckled and explained.
Although Sun Ce suffered a lot of losses, after all, he was Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and after Sun Ce was defeated and fled, he could only rely on Cao Cao and seek refuge or revenge.
"That's right, in this way, send someone to let them go back to Xuchang first, just say that I have a heavy responsibility to explain, and wait until Xuchang is talking!" Cao Cao nodded approvingly.
"No!" The guards immediately responded.
————
——
Jian'an for three years, early winter.
Chu Feng designed to completely annihilate Sun Ce's department, and won a complete victory, which made everyone in the world vibrate, and even made Cao Cao, who swore to go south, give up halfway.
The battle ended with a great victory for the Chu army and the return of Cao's squad to the dynasty.
And after this battle, Chu Feng's ability and status were further established, and no one dared to underestimate Chu Feng, who only had one state, and even regarded him as the number one enemy.
Among them, Jingzhou is included.
————
Jian'an for three years,
December, deep winter.
Jingzhou, Nanyang boundary.
At this moment, there are still snowflakes in the sky, as if covering the wounds of this devastated land, and countless tragic scenes are covered under that layer of snow.
Thousands of miles of ice were frozen, and once the people who fled the famine fell, they never got up again.
At the same time, this heavy snow also cooled down the entire thirteen states of Dahan, and the truce, although it showed that it had subsided, it was more like the calm before the blizzard.
Because behind this storm and snow is to recuperate and prepare for the strategic deployment of the beginning of spring, no one knows how long this protracted war will last.
Nanyang, Wancheng.
In the general's mansion, Zhang Xiu was dressed in animal skin, looking at the letter in his hand, he was angry, and directly patted the case and shouted: "This Liu Bei is actually recruiting troops and horses again to absorb homeless people!" ”
"And what does Liu Biao mean? Does he want Liu Bei to come over and balance me? If so, why don't you speak up? ”
The more he talked, the more angry Zhang Xiu became.
He is straightforward and fast-talking, and he is not happy with this.
In the hall, Jia Xu tasted tea and chuckled lightly at the moment.
"Wenhe, when is this, are you still in the mood to laugh? That Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to recruit troops in Xinye, making it clear that he didn't believe me! ”
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but say.
"Hehe, does the lord still have feelings for Liu Biao?" Jia Xu slowly put down the teacup, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked rhetorically.
"What do you mean by this?" Zhang Xiu asked puzzled.
"Lord, don't you notice that this year's winter is colder than usual?" The corners of Jia Xu's mouth hooked up a touch of arc, and he said meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Xiu is still incomprehensible!
He was born in Xiliang Takeo, and he didn't understand Jia Xu's statement of hiding the head and going to the tail at all.
Jia Xu shook his head helplessly, so he had to say bluntly: "Lord, Jingzhou is about to be in chaos, oh no, it should be said that the world is about to be in chaos, and the pattern of the world should change again!" ”
"Hey, Wenhe, can you explain a little bit when you speak, what's not messy." Zhang Xiu scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, this person can speak in a hurry.
"Youzhou Gongsun Zan is in danger, I'm afraid he will be defeated at the beginning of spring. At that time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will inevitably fight to the death. Although Cao Cao's soldiers, horses, grain and grass are not as good as Yuan Shao,"
"But his corporal is virtuous, appointing people on the basis of merit, and the soldiers under his command are also the elite of a hundred battles, on the other hand, Yuan Shaozhi is very talented, and I am afraid that the outcome of this battle is unpredictable."
"As for Jingzhou, Liu Biaozheng is fighting with Zhang Xian, if my guess is right, Chu Feng Kaichun will also make a move, he will definitely not miss this opportunity!"
Jia Xu stroked his beard, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a confident smile, although he lived in Nanyang, he had insight into the world, and everything could be predicted seven or eight points accurately.
"Chu Feng is going to do it?" Zhang Xiu was surprised, he and Chu Feng had a good relationship, they got along, and it was a while since they parted last time.
"It should be soon, I guess if it weren't for this heavy snow, the messenger would have arrived in Nanyang." Jia Xu chuckled and said confidently.
"His messenger to Nanyang?" Zhang Xiu was stunned, "He wants me to help?" ”
"Of course!" Jia Xu answered.
"Lord, this time to capture Jingzhou, maybe the Lord Guild has become a crucial point, as for how to deploy, I'm afraid that Chu Feng is more thoughtful than I thought."
Jia Xu laughed at himself.
During this time, he studied all of Chu Feng's military battles, and this person's marching and fighting perfectly interpreted Sun Tzu's Art of War, the theory of winning with righteousness and oddity.
This person's use of soldiers is weaker than Cao Cao's,
His main army relied almost entirely on leading the charge to win with courage, rather than in military formation. On the contrary, many victories were won by Qi, and many of them were against Sun.
"A crucial point?" Zhang Xiu was stunned, and couldn't help muttering; 'Why didn't I know I was so good?' ’
"So Wenhe, do you approve of me joining Chu Feng?" Zhang Xiu reacted at this moment and asked.
"Hehe, why have I ever objected?"
"I just want to take a closer look, Chu Feng is talented and capable, and he definitely has the ability to win the world, especially in this battle, Cao Cao retreated!"
"I'm afraid that Cao Cao will have a hard time in the coming year, no matter whether he wins or loses!" Jia Xu chuckled, meaning that Cao Cao's situation was indeed embarrassing, and Chu Feng was too much of a threat.
The key can't be removed right now,
It depends on how Cao Cao is prepared to deal with it.
Thinking that there are so many people with lofty ideals in Cao Jun, it is impossible that there is no way to deal with it.
"Oh yes, the lord still remembers the agreement between Chu Feng and Mrs. Zou, and now Chu Feng has outstanding ability, and he can mention this matter again when he has the opportunity,"
"I heard that Chu Feng has no heirs now, if Mrs. can give birth to a son and a half heroine for Chu Feng, it will be good to gain a foothold in the Chu army."
"Even, if Chu Feng can one day ascend to the Ninety-Five Supreme, the lord and you can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, and it is not a problem to worship the marquis."
Jia Xu chuckled and said,
These things are all profitable, and he was not optimistic about Chu Feng before, but now he feels that Chu Feng is starting from Tianhu,
Cao Cao wants to resist Yuan Shao, and the two are bound to lose both, Chu Feng can take the Central Plains, or take Jingzhou, and retreat can be held across the river, which can be called perfect.
Zhang Xiu didn't have much idea about the Zou family's remarriage, after all, the Zou family was willing, and Chu Feng and himself could also talk, the only thing that made him unhappy was that
I treat Chu Feng as a brother,
This guy actually wants to be his father!
Grandma's, the more I think about it, the more angry I become, after all, Zou is his aunt, this trouble, I have suffered a loss, and I have to talk about it in the future!
"But the lord, then Liu Bei, you need an embankment, his second brother is brave and crowned with three armies, he is the tiger general of the world, and he himself is more eloquent,"
"Whether Jingzhou can change hands, I'm afraid it depends on this person!" Jia Xu was a little dignified and said in a deep voice.
That Liu Bei knows a little bit about him, this person may not be very outstanding, but his character is tenacious, respected by the world, and many celebrities are like-minded.
The only concern is Liu Bei's turf.
Jia Xu dared to assert that once Liu Bei had a territory like several counties in one state, there were not a few people who rushed to invest first, after all, the family's investment was based on returns.
No one wants to accompany you to start small!
"Hey, Liu Bei has just recruited hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers, although I was ambushed in a sneak attack on Xuchang earlier, but the soldiers and horses under my command are all elite in Xiliang, and it is easy to break!"
Zhang Xiu didn't think so, and didn't take Liu Bei in his eyes at all.
Jia Xu didn't speak, he still knows what kind of temperament Xiliang Bing is, after spending so long, he has long lost his fighting spirit, if Dong Zhuo was still there, he might be able to have some combat power,
Of course, no matter how bad the combat power is, it is better than the new recruit.
————
On the other side, on the official road.
A few horses galloped through the snow that had not crossed the hooves,
And the leader was Liu Bei, who learned of the annihilation of Sun Ce's army and Cao Cao's retreat, and immediately led people to Xiangyang.
"Big brother, why be in such a hurry, you might as well wait for the snow to stop and come again!" Guan Yu's already red face was blown redder by the cold wind and snowflakes,
Between the openings, a stream of heat rose out.
"Don't wait!" Liu Bei said eagerly: "Drive! ”
He knew Chu Feng's temperament, Cao Cao withdrew his troops, and he would definitely use troops in Jingzhou in the coming year, if Liu Biao still trusted him too much, then Jingzhou would not be far from destruction.
If Jingzhou is destroyed, it will be even more difficult for him to take revenge.
"General Guan, this battle is about the survival of Jingzhou, and the lord has no way not to hurry!" Next to him, Jian Yong was relieved, he knew how desperate Liu Bei was for revenge.
"Hey, Jingzhou is not a big brother, what's the use of going there? Isn't it to be subject to the Cai family? On the contrary, the eldest brother may have offended the Cai family during this time! ”
"Isn't this a self-imposed trap?" Guan Yu was a little unhappy, complained, and still beat the horse to follow.
It is impossible for the Cai family not to know what Liu Bei did in Xinye, and his recruitment of troops was to resist Cao Cao at best, and at worst it was to let Liu Biao let him go to Xinye to cultivate power.
How could the Cai family watch such a disaster!
"Huh," Jian Yong also sighed, the life under the fence is not easy, especially since there is more than one protagonist in this one, it is like walking on thin ice.
I just hope that everything will go well in Xiangyang this time,
As he spoke, the group went away, leaving only a long series of horseshoe prints in the snow, but as the wind and snow fell, the horseshoe prints were quietly covered again.
It's like no one has ever been here.
After running for a long time, Liu Bei and his entourage finally arrived in Xiangyang, looking at the tall city wall of Xiangyang, the group breathed a sigh of relief, but their lips were also blown by the wind and frost!
"Chu Feng, with me, I will never let Jingzhou be moved."
