Jian'an five years, mid-January.

Chu Feng got married, and after Na Cai's, Zou, and Fan were concubines, Zhao Fan and Xu Shu were left to lead their troops to guard Jingzhou, and they led their troops back to Hefei.

……

At this moment, inside and outside Xiangyang City.

It was the spring ploughing season, and the people should be cultivating the fields, but I don't know who revealed the news that Chu Feng was going to return to Hefei, and in an instant, thousands of people were empty, and all these people gathered to see them off.

On the war horse, Chu Feng looked at this scene and couldn't help but look at Xu Shu who was seeing him off: "What's the matter?" The people take food as the sky, why do they gather the people to see them off? ”

"Back to the lord, my subordinates don't know, these people are not arranged by the concubine, I'm afraid...... I am afraid that the people voluntarily saw them off. Xu Shu hugged his fists, which was also shocking.

Thousands of empty alleys, silent declarations of the people!

Chu Feng, the people's will, such a people's heart, why is the world uncertain?

"Voluntary?" Chu Feng raised his eyebrows.

Taking a deep breath, with a little feeling in my heart, looking at the cheeks that have been scorched by the sun all the year round, and a pair of pupils full of hope,

They didn't speak, but they told Chu Feng with their own eyes that you are the heaven of Jingzhou, and they will support Chu Feng as much as possible.

The waist pole was straight, and Chu Feng was solemn.

What he did was a great and difficult thing, and he believed that the people of China would always remember him, and the Han would also stand on top of the world.

At this moment, all the fatigue is due.

And the generals beside Chu Feng all looked solemn, their spines were straight, and that sense of pride and honor was something they had never experienced in their lives.

If they joined the army as generals before for power, money, and shelter for their wives and children, then at this moment, their souls have been sublimated.

And many people who have been in the military all year round know that all the people are respectful of those who serve in the army, because these people are greedy and will oppress the people.

But right now, these people are in tears.

For the first time, they felt the glory of being a soldier, the glory of being a soldier under Chu Feng, that kind of sublimation, which made them rather die in battle than tarnish this glory.

And after baptism again and again, the Chu army was completely sublimated, their military soul also sprouted from this moment, and their faith was born from this moment.

In the future, the Chu army frightened the enemy, and the people dared to entrust all their family wealth.

The road was very long, and the Chu army walked very slowly.

Every soldier felt the attention of that expectation, they were all straight and energetic, they didn't want to embarrass Chu Feng to Chu Jun.

After a long time, the Chu army finally finished.

Under the gaze of hundreds of people, the Chu army boarded the ship and boarded the towering ships, and as the ships pulled anchor, the ships began to move slowly along the Han River.

And just smashed this, I don't know who took the lead on the shore, and those people knelt and kowtowed like a tidal wave, and there was almost no standing in the field except for the soldiers.

"Congratulations to Duke Chu, congratulations to Duke Chu!"

A voice gradually unified, followed by a cry that shook the heavens and the earth.

Every sound came from the bottom of their hearts, every sound represented their recognition of Chu Feng, and every sound was full of hope!

On the battleship, whether it is a soldier or a general, they are all moved, and they can make the people spontaneously send each other off, kneeling on the ground to send each other, I am afraid that there is no one else in the world except Chu Feng.

They are following Chu Feng to accomplish a great cause.

Chu Feng stood on the deck, looking at the countless people along the coast, his eyes were slightly moist, it was a group of people who were just going to have enough to eat, they worked hard and complained, for these people, it was worth it!

And so, in the eyes of the people, the ship departed.

The battle of Jingzhou came to an end, but Chu Feng knew that the undercurrent was surging in Jingzhou, and his departure might be just the beginning, hoping that Xu Shu and Zhao Fan would live up to their trust.

"Summons, full speed sailing."

Chu Feng said to Gan Ning, and then turned back into the cabin, the road is difficult and long, he must be careful all the way, he can't live up to the expectations of the people in the world.

————

Jian'an five years, late January.

The chill quietly subsided, the spring was full of joy, and hundreds of people in the fields faced the loess with their backs to the sky sowing hope for the coming year, leaving the Central Plains empty.

10,000 acres of fertile land, but few people cultivate it at all.

Because Cao Cao had forcibly moved the people away in the cold winter, few of the old, weak, sick and disabled left behind could survive the winter, and even if they survived, there were very few.

And at this moment, Xuzhou Donghai County.

Tancheng was originally the state seat of Tao Qian's governance of Jingzhou, but there was not much population at the moment, but it was Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses who entered Tancheng.

Shofunai,

Yuan Shao is in the first place, and his subordinates are all in the army.

With the truce with Cao Cao, it is very likely that he will directly enter the three states of the Central Plains, which makes Yuan Shao even more inflated, and there is a bit of contempt in his words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the cold winter has passed, Cao Cao is about to withdraw from the Central Plains, and the Cai family and the Kuai family in Jingzhou have responded, and Chu Fengwu is regarded as an ant and can be broken at any time."

Yuan Shao spread his hands and clenched his fists, with confidence.

"Lord, if Chu Feng just retreats to the south of the Yangtze River, relying on the Yangtze River moat, our army may not be able to fight him in a short time, but he actually wants to defend Xiapi,"

"The last general asks for his life, and he is willing to be the vanguard, break the enemy, and break through Xiapi." Wen Chou clenched his fists, with a somewhat absolute tone, Xuzhou belongs to the Central Plains and is the home of the Northern Army.

"Lord, the last general asks for his life!"

For a time, countless generals asked for battle.

Yuan Shaolang said with a smile: "Okay, if you have this to say, why worry about Chu Feng being undefeated?" ”

Fu Zhu muttered at this moment: "Lord, with my understanding of Chu Feng, this person will never fight a battle that he is not sure of, since he left Lu Meng and other legions to stay, he obviously wants to hold Xuzhou and use it as a springboard to attack the Central Plains." ”

"According to the intelligence, there are two corps of Lü Meng and Tai Shici, plus Zhang Liao's cavalry corps, with a total of 25,000 soldiers and horses,"

"Military division, there are only more than 20,000 people, and our army has 100,000 troops, is it not easy to break it?" Yan Liang frowned and asked.

"The problem is here, Chu Feng's base camp is in Hefei, which is connected to the Huai River, and the Huai River is connected by boat, and it arrives in Xuzhou very quickly, which is Chu Feng's reliance."

Frustrated and frowned, his point of concern was in Hefei.

If there are only more than 20,000 people alone, there is no fear of a strong attack.

"My lord, I think that I can divide my troops into three routes, all the way to feint to capture Pi, and all the way to make a detour to Peiguo to attack Shouchun and limit its reinforcements from Hefei."

"If Hefei protects itself, then this army of soldiers and horses will directly surround Xiapi and eat Xuzhou, if he dares to go, then try to surround Shouchun and prepare to capture Hefei."

"The last way, in Guandu, mainly cavalry, once Xuzhou fights, Jingzhou Cai Jia and others will inevitably be the internal response, and then directly attack Jingzhou."

"In this way, the three ways can greatly limit the strength of the Chu army, and the three-line attack, Chu Feng is difficult to take care of, this is a good strategy to break the enemy!"

Frustrated, he pointed to the map next to him and said solemnly.

As he spoke, everyone nodded in unison, frustrating that this move was indeed well arranged and well-arranged.

Yuan Shao also nodded: "Well said, three-way joint scheduling, Chu Feng is difficult to take care of, but is this too slow?" ”

"Hey, military advisor, the total number of soldiers and horses in the entire territory of the Chu army is only 100,000, and there are tens of thousands of boat divisions, so there is no need to worry. What's more, our army is in full swing, but it can go down in a battle. ”

Yan Benzi was a little anxious and said anxiously.

"Lord, the march and battle must not be impatient, this move is a three-way attack, Chu Feng is almost difficult to deal with, and no matter how bad it is, he can also look back at Bao Yuanxiapi."

"What's more, we have made two preparations in Jingzhou, as long as the battle in Xuzhou opens, Guiyang and Lingling will rebel in Jingnan, and the Chu army in Jingzhou will definitely put down the rebellion!"

"In this way, Jingzhou's troops are empty, the Cai family and the Kuai family will definitely surrender when they see this, as long as the lord captures Jingzhou, he can overlook the six counties of Yangzhou, Chu Feng is not worth mentioning."

Frustrated and clenched his fists, his expression was confident.

Indeed, this layout has a great chance of winning, Jingnan has Zhang Yi to take the lead in the rebellion, then Changsha, Wuling, etc. are also likely to respond, when Jingnan rebels, how dare those clans in Jingzhou dare to fight to the death.

"Okay, just according to what Fu Zhi said, the soldiers will attack Chu Feng in three ways."

"Yan Liang, as the first general under my command, he will lead 50,000 foot soldiers with me, and 3,000 iron cavalry will be responsible for capturing Xiapi." Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang, who was brave and good at fighting, and admonished.

"The last general commands!" Yan Liang nodded.

"Wen Chou, you are good at commanding iron cavalry, you will lead 8,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers to wait in the Guandu camp, once the time is ripe, give me the troops to attack Jingzhou, and be sure to capture Jingzhou."

Yuan Shao looked at Wen Chou again and admonished.

"The last general commands!" Wen Chou licked his lips excitedly: "I heard that Chu Feng stayed behind and was the first general Zhao Fan under his command, I would like to try if this person is really brave." ”

Yuan Shao smiled bitterly and shook his head, Yan Liangwen and Chou under his command were all aggressive, and immediately looked at Chun Yuqiong and said: "Chun Yuqiong, in this battle, you led 30,000 soldiers and horses to detour through Peiguo and approach Shouchun." ”

"The last general commands!" Chun Yuqiong nodded.

"Okay, the rest of the generals will follow me to attack Pi, and the focus of this battle is to capture Xuzhou and Jingzhou, and compress Chu Feng in Yangzhou."

Yuan Shao said solemnly.

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

"Lord, what did Cao Cao say? If you don't send someone to join forces with him, at least let him not interfere! Guo Tu narrowed his eyes and asked.

"No, just Chu Feng, I can handle it. That Cao Cao hugged his head and fled to Guanzhong, it's not worth mentioning, wait for me to clean up Chu Feng, and then go to him for trouble! ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand, annexing Chu Feng, he didn't want to be with Cao Cao.

What's more, in Yuan Shao's opinion, Cao Cao took the initiative to ask for peace, which was to show weakness, and Yuan Shao didn't take Cao Cao seriously at all, as long as he took Chu Feng and beat Cao Cao casually.

"Lord, having said that, Ji thinks that it is better to send someone to contact, after all, Cao Cao still has the Son of Heaven in his hands, even if he doesn't have a soldier,

But as long as Cao Cao is exempted from Chu Feng's general, Chu Feng will become the head of all evils, and when the time comes, the lord will be famous, wouldn't it be better? ”

Feng Ji chuckled and said with a smile on his fists.

"That's right, the lord can even apply for the state pastor of Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou on the table, so that he deserves his name and is famous!" Guo Tu said with a smile.

"What you two said is not bad, Cao Mengde still has an emperor in his hands, so he will write to invite Cao Cao to jointly capture Chu Feng, and ask for instructions to revoke Chu Feng's position as general."

Yuan Shao nodded heavily, he really didn't expect this.

"Lord, my subordinates think that they should mobilize troops from Jizhou again, Cao Cao is about to move the capital, and when the time comes, the Central Plains will need soldiers and horses for thousands of miles of defense, just in case."

Guo Tu added.

Yuan Shao nodded, according to the agreement given by Cao Cao, the Central Plains was completely ceded to himself before early summer, and there were only two months left before early summer, so he really had to prepare in advance.

"Okay, just as you say." Yuan Shao nodded.

"The lord is wise!" All the ministers slipped and patted the horses.

Yuan Shao was extremely useful, and waved his hand with a smile: "Chen Lin, you are extraordinary, when you asked Cao Cao before, a piece of writing scared Cao Cao into a cold sweat. ”

"This time, you are still writing an essay against the thief, and you must give me a useless demotion of Chu Feng! Let everyone in the world know that I, Yuan Shao, am a teacher of justice! ”

Chen Lin hurriedly said: "No, I am determined to do my best to live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

"Okay, let's go down and prepare, the army will start in three days, and we must inform the world in these days, and Guo Shu will write to Jingzhou, informing Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Zhang Yi, etc., that the battle of Xuzhou is about to begin!"

Yuan Shao waved his hand and arranged.

"No!" The crowd should go down.

After the words fell, all the troops would retreat together.

Frustrated but hesitated slightly, seeing that everyone was retreating, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the two generals Chun Yuqiong and Wen Chou are both brave husbands, and it is not appropriate to let them take charge of the troops alone,"

"It's better to arrange two military advisors to assist you to prevent the Chu army's way."

Yuan Shao looked at the frustrated and shouted: "For the general, take courage as the first, not to mention, the main attack on Xuzhou in this battle will not meet Chu Feng, the two of them can feint, what is the use of the military division?" ”

"But my lord, there are as many talented people under Chu Feng's command, and there are Jia Xu, Xu Shu and others to help, these two people are deceitful and changeable, I'm worried..."

"Okay, your worries are superfluous, Xuzhou is the top priority, I still need to wait for your advice, if it is all arranged, how can I choose my words?"

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said impatiently.

"But ......"

"Alright, stand down!" Waving his sleeves, Yuan Shao said coldly.

On the one hand, he wanted to choose his words, and on the other hand, he knew the character of Wen Chou and Chun Yuqiong, even if he arranged for a scribe, he might not listen, so it was better to stay by his side.

Of course, the most important Yuan Shao had a fluke mentality, thinking that the two would not meet these people.

Frustrated with a sigh and walked away. However, how similar this is to history, at the beginning of Guandu, he suggested that Yuan Shao Yanliang only had courage and strategy, and should send scribes to Zuozhi,

It's just that Yuan Shao doesn't dick him at all!

As everyone retreated, Yuan Shao wrote many letters in a row, asking Jizhou to hurry up the transportation of grain and troops, and at the same time let Wuhuan pay more tribute to war horses and bows and crossbows.

For this reason, Yuan Shao directly promised to Wuhuan Shanggu and Yuyang County as a reward, and his heart can be punished.

————

Jian'an five years, late January.

Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei, officially captured Chu Feng.

The thief was told to the world, and he declared to the outside world that Chu Feng was a thief, and the Han would remove this person from the position of general, and even revealed that he was the governor of several states.

At the same time, the document mentioned that in order to pacify the rebels, he personally led an army of 300,000 to capture Xuzhou, trying to deter the enemy, and at the same time sent an army of 100,000 to capture Shouchun.

Intention to exterminate the Chu army in one fell swoop!

For a time, the world was shaken!

The long-awaited Great War between the North and the South may officially begin.
