"Thank you for the promotion." Jia Xu said excitedly.

"Wenhe, now that the traitor Liu Bei occupies Jiangling, you are resourceful, in your opinion, what should you do!" Chu Feng asked tentatively.

"Lord, Liu Bei claims to be a relative of the Han family, and now that Liu Biao has been killed, I think he will let him be the pastor of Jingzhou and report to the imperial court."

"And Liu Bei has always been ambitious, and now he has annexed Liu Biao's soldiers and horses, and Zhang Xian's soldiers and horses, and he is already a strong soldier."

At this moment, he must want to stabilize Jingnan first, and then fight with the lord in the north and south. In my opinion, we should eradicate Liu Bei before the beginning of spring, so as to settle Jingxiang! ”

Jia Xu gave up his hand and made a sincere suggestion.

"That's right, Liu Bei is a tiger, be sure to get rid of it, I intend to send troops soon, even if it's a cold winter, I have to eradicate Liu Bei, just in case."

Chu Feng nodded and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" When Zhao Fan heard this, he immediately hugged his fists and asked for battle, with hatred in his eyes, he wanted to avenge the dead soldiers before the snow.

"Yes, you lead 3,000 foot soldiers as a striker, but you need to remember not to be blinded by hatred, I don't want to see you wrong once."

Chu Feng solemnly admonished.

"Rest assured, the lord will never make a mistake." Zhao Fan nodded, apologetic in his heart, he knew that Chu Feng wanted him to make meritorious service and return to his previous position.

The previous defeat, even if he was cut down, it was not too much, and he should be demoted, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public, but Zhao Fan could feel Chu Feng's cultivation of him.

No matter what, this time it will not disappoint him.

Seeing that Zhao Fan was only a vanguard, and the rest of the generals were not ready to fight, it was obvious that Chu Feng wanted to go out in person, and at this moment, he couldn't see the situation clearly.

"Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, and others set off with the army, and I personally commanded the army and attacked Liu Bei." Chu Feng said with a solemn expression.

"No!" All the generals should come down in unison.

"Cai Mao, most of the original Jingzhou soldiers and horses are under your control, and this time you will lead your troops to accompany you." Chu Feng spoke again.

"Command!" Cai Mao nodded.

"Lu Xun listened to the order, and led his troops to garrison Xiangyang to deter the small people, and anyone who took the opportunity to make trouble would be killed!" Chu Feng looked at Lu Xun again.

"No!" Lu Xun nodded, and then said: "Lord, you must be careful this time, that Xu Shu is not simple!" ”

"Hehe, Xu Shu is naturally not simple, but he can't be used by Liu Bei after all." Chu Feng chuckled: "Zhang Xiu, did Xu Shu's mother pick it up?" ”

"It's in the city!" Zhang Xiu nodded.

"Take care of a good life, don't slack off. In addition, he sent a fast horse to Jingnan to inform Xu Shu that his mother was still in Xiangyang, and told him that Xiangyang may not be peaceful recently! ”

The corners of Chu Feng's mouth hooked, although things are not bright enough, but for a handsome person, he can do anything for victory, not to mention that he is still for the people of Jingzhou.

"Is the lord trying to use his mother to blackmail?" Zhao Yun frowned, slightly disliking this method.

"It's not about coercion, even if he doesn't come back, I won't really do anything to his mother, but it's better for him to come back, the people of the big man are already bitter enough, let's end it early!"

Chu Feng shrugged his shoulders and said righteously.

"My lord, what if he doesn't come back?" Jia Xu asked curiously, mainly because he felt that Chu Feng was very confident that Xu Shu came back, which was very strange.

"Don't worry, he'll come!" Chu Feng chuckled.

"Okay, let's go down and prepare, this time the Central Army, Zhao Fan's department, Gao Shun's department, Zhang Xiu's department, and Cai Mao's department will go on the expedition, and stay behind to stabilize the safety of Jingzhou."

Chu Feng waved his hand, to be honest, he really didn't take Liu Bei in his eyes.

"No!" Everyone responded in unison.

After speaking, watch everyone retreat!

"Xu Chu, go and prepare some money, cloth, and vegetables with me to see Xu Shu's mother, this person is talented, and it depends on his mother whether he can use it for me."

Chu Feng pondered slightly.

"No!" Xu Chu nodded: "By the way, my lord, Zhang Xiu also caught a Zhuge Liang according to your request, whether you see it, it is said that this kid is very quiet." ”

"Zhuge Liang? Hehe, send him some books, send someone to take a good look, I won't see you for the time being. Chu Feng chuckled, he didn't need to use Zhuge Liang at this time.

Let him study the sages for two more years.

After a while, inside a courtyard.

From afar, I saw the smoke curling in the small courtyard, the courtyard was not big, but it was cleaned up, and there were a lot of splits next to it that could be used.

Pushing open the courtyard door, Chu Feng entered.

"Who are you?" An old woman about forty or fifty years old heard the movement and came out.

"Auntie, my name is Chu Feng, I came to see you, and I will bring you some food by the way." Chu Feng picked up the rice and noodles and meat he bought.

"Chu Feng? Are you the Duke of Chu in Yangzhou? The old woman was a little suspicious.

"Yes, auntie!" Chu Feng smiled and nodded.

"Hurry up, come and sit in the house, the old woman has nothing to entertain you, just cooked some porridge, if Duke Chu doesn't mind, eat some together."

The old woman was a little excited.

"Okay, I'm hungry. But auntie, you can't be fooled, you are an elder, just call me Xiaofeng, and your son and I are also friends. ”

Chu Feng chuckled and said with concern.

"Harm, deserve it! Today, there are not many people who are dedicated to the people, although the old woman can't walk anymore, some old friends in Yangzhou say that Chu Gong is a good person! ”

"Wholeheartedly for the people, punishing adultery and eliminating evil, is the benefactor of our people, I also heard that in Yangzhou, there is no common people who say that Chu Gong you don't have a word!"

"Every household has set up an immortal tablet for Chu Gong, and the words of the common people can't be wrong! If it weren't for the inconvenience of the old woman's legs, she would have gone to Yangzhou a long time ago! ”

The old woman patted Chu Feng's palm excitedly and said.

"Hehe," Chu Feng chuckled.

The feeling of being recognized by the people is still very cool, at least it proves that it is worth it, and history will witness all this.

He believes that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

"Look, patronizing and talking, hurry up, go into the house and warm up, I'll go serve porridge!" The old woman came from the bottom of her heart and hurriedly led Chu Feng in.

After a while, two bowls of rice porridge were served.

There were a few vegetable leaves in the rice porridge, and the old woman wiped her hands and said with some embarrassment: "Don't dislike it, there is no delicious hospitality." ”

"Auntie said with a smile, when the war is poisoned today, hundreds of people don't talk about this bowl of rice porridge, even if there is no rice soup, how can you dislike it?"

Chu Feng's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his expression was solemn,

Although he is greedy for money and lustful, he is never ambiguous in the face of national righteousness: "One day, I, Chu Feng, will make the people no longer hungry, and will make them rich and stable." ”

"Uh-huh!" The old woman nodded heavily.

Then, Chu Feng was eating pickles and drinking rice porridge at the same time, very satisfied, without any pretentiousness of the princes, but like a child of the common people.

"Xiao Feng, do you have children?" Seeing that Chu Feng was eating sincerely, the old woman also lost a trace of distance, and took the initiative to ask.

"There's one!" Chu Feng replied.

"What's your name?"

"Chu'an, Chu character, is composed of the word Linkou in the oracle bone inscription, which has its own meaning of building a new home. An is a symbol of the country's peace and security, living and working in peace and contentment. ”

"Taking this name means that I will build a new home for the people of the Han Dynasty and make them peaceful and peaceful!" Chu Feng's words revealed a firmness.

"Good, good name!" The old woman affirmed.

"But listen to my son, you are not surnamed Chu, but a descendant of the Yuan family!"

"Auntie, the world can know that I am the heir of the Yuan family, after all, if you really want to use the surname Yuan, it will be more restrictive." Chu Feng said meaningfully.

The surname Yuan is good, but what Chu Feng thinks is that he not only takes advantage of the surname Yuan, but also does not completely be at the mercy of the family, after all, the boss of the family is not good.

What's more, he is not Yuan Feng in the first place.

Yuan Feng is dead!

The old woman nodded as if she didn't understand, she didn't bother to dwell on this, she just smiled and squinted, full of happiness: "The people of Jingzhou have you as their greatest blessing!" ”

The two chatted briefly for a while, Chu Feng left, he still had to deal with the affairs of Jingzhou, as for the army, the grain and grass will set off on the same day, and the vanguard will set off tomorrow.

————

Guandu, Cao and Yuan two battalions confronted each other.

In order to attack the opponent's camp, the two sides piled up mountains of soil, dug tunnels, catapults, and various tired tactics emerged one after another, and it can be said that they did everything they could.

So much so that every inch of the camp was stained with the blood of the enemy or its own soldiers.

However, because the winter in the Central Plains is not like that in the south of the Yangtze River, the winter in the Central Plains is cold, and at this moment the world is also covered with heavy snow, wrapped in a layer of silver.

Cao Ying, inside the tent.

The campfire crackles and burns!

Below was the scout speaking something over the loudspeaker, and all the people in the tent were solemn and deep in thought, for the news was not good for them.

"Liu Biao, this waste, no, he is not even as fucking waste, in just a few months, he gave the huge Jingzhou to Chu Feng,"

"That's it, I still boast of being Jing Xiang Bajun, I think it's Jing Xiang Eight Ugly, it's really ridiculous, ridiculous!" Cao Cao said, but his voice was gritting his teeth.

He hated Liu Biao so much.

This idiot, there is no cure.

"My lord, fortunately, Gongda had expected to move the people into the customs, otherwise our army would inevitably be more passive." Guo Jia said with a solemn expression.

Cao Cao nodded approvingly, Jingzhou fell into the hands of Chu Feng, and Nanyang to Xuchang was a horse Pingchuan, if it was just an embankment Chu Feng, but there was also a Yuan Shao.

Originally, Chu Feng was only in Yangzhou, but now he is directly threatening Xuchang, with a sword hanging on his head, how can he not be nervous in such a situation.

"Lord, now that the snow is covered, it is becoming more and more difficult to transport grain, and there are fewer and fewer of them, the soldiers are hungry and cold, and there are complaints in the camp, so you need to pay attention!"

Xun You said in a deep voice.

Military rations are the foundation of the three armies, and they cannot be broken!

Cao Cao frowned, he also knew it in his heart, but now the heavy snow is closing the road, the grain transportation cycle is long, and too much is consumed on the way every time, which is extremely unfavorable to the war.

"What do you think we should do now?" Cao Cao looked around at everyone and asked about the current situation of the battle.

Guo Jiaxun glanced at each other, and the former said in a deep voice: "Lord, Chu Feng occupies Jiangxia, Nanyang, and most of Nanjun, but Liu Bei occupies Jiangling, as well as the entire Jingnan. ”

"Now, Liu Beiming's strength is not much weaker than Chu Feng's, and there are millions of people in Jingnan, as long as he can survive until next year, it will not be easy for Chu Feng to take down Liu Bei!"

After listening to Guo Jia, Cao Cao frowned, and said in a somewhat disdainful tone: "Having said that, but Liu Bei is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, how can he win?" ”

"Lord, as far as I know, Liu Bei found a strategist Xu Shu, this person is proficient in battle formations, stratagems, and defeated the first general under Chu Feng in the first battle, and he is a genius."

"With this person here, it may not be easy for Chu Feng to defeat Liu Bei, and then Liu Bei's tiger generals like Guan Yu complement each other and have the power to fight!"

Guo Jiashu said.

"I hope so!" Cao Cao didn't believe too much in Liu Bei's ability.

"My lord, there is no doubt that Chu Feng will unify Jingzhou first, and it is still unknown whether Liu Bei can stop Chu Feng, but our army must prepare for the worst."

"If Chu Feng pacifies Liu Bei before the beginning of spring, then what is the point of our army and Yuan Shaozhan and Guandu?" Xun Yu brushed his beard and asked directly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded one after another.

Indeed, if he had won Yuan Shao head-on before, he could have used Shanyue to drag Chu Feng, but now, Chu Feng occupies Nanyang and other places in Jingzhou.

In addition, Xuzhou Xiapi has already formed a flanking attack on the Central Plains, and in this situation, even if Cao Cao wins Yuan Shao, he will have to turn his head and fight Chu Feng.

Although Cao's army is strong, he can fight one enemy and two without any chance of winning.

Cao Cao pondered and nodded gradually, indeed, with Chu Feng taking Jingzhou, he would not have the slightest advantage in occupying the Central Plains again, but would have to face the attack of Yuan Shao and Chu Feng.

"What about Gongda's opinion?" Cao Cao asked.

"As before, withdraw from the Central Plains and enter the main pass, and even the lord can send a strange soldier to take Hanzhong directly, and overlook the Central Plains according to the danger of the four passes."

"When the time comes, train the soldiers and horses, save money and food, and wait and watch the war between the north and the south, Yuan Sheng, and the lord will go out of the military pass to take Jingzhou. Chu Sheng, the lord sent a letter to Guguan and took Hebei directly. ”

Xun You clenched his fists and said sonorously.

After listening to Xun You's words, Guo Jia nodded approvingly, and retreated to Guanzhong, although he would give up some things, but he had the initiative in the war.

"Although it is good to move the capital, it is probably difficult for those family ministers to be willing to give up their family business to follow!" Cao Cao hesitated, the foundation of the family is land, and changing the lord is nothing to them.

"The lord, the Tao is not the same, not to mention, the lord has the Han Emperor, and people with lofty ideals will definitely gather, and the thousands of hectares of fertile land in Guanzhong are all owned by the lord and can be distributed at will."

"As for some losses, this is unavoidable, and this situation should be cut through the chaos quickly." Xun You's expression was solemn and sonorous.

"That depends on what you mean," Cao Cao asked.

"Truce war with Yuan Shao, it will not do us any good if we continue to fight like this. After the armistice, the people were relocated to the pass as much as possible, and the Hangu Pass was broken, and the new pass could be repaired! ”

Xun You said in a deep voice.

"What if Yuan Shao doesn't agree to a truce?" Cao Cao frowned.

"No, he will agree, it's a big deal to give them some benefits first, such as giving them Qingzhou and Xuzhou first, to show sincerity." Xun Yu Dao.

"Now that it's winter, when will the people move?" Cao Cao asked.

"Move now, move all the young men and women, including children, under your rule, unless the old man can keep up with the cold!"

Xun You said in a deep voice.

"This ......" everyone gasped, what a ruthless method, such a winter relocation, at least two percent of the road had to die, but in order to catch up with spring ploughing in the coming year, it seems that there is no other way.

"Truce, relocation!"

Cao Cao hesitated for a long time, but still spoke.

The current situation does not allow him to fight any longer, and only then there is a glimmer of hope.
