"I'm going to kill it many times!"

Chu Feng was arrogant, he thought that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were just a false shot, and the decisive battle would not come so early, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to go to Luoyang to fight in person.

It is estimated that it is because of the tens of thousands of iron horses in Xiliang that Cao Cao has swelled, and he feels that he can do it again!

"My lord, although the Xiongnu and Wuhuan are both small foreign countries, if they come in large numbers, they will never be less than 100,000 people, and our reinforcements are only 70,000, counting Lu Meng and Zhang Liao, their soldiers and horses are only 100,000."

"This place is the hinterland of the Central Plains, all of which are plains, which are very suitable for war horses to rush into battle, and our cavalry is less than 10,000 people, and the last general is worried" Zhao Yun clenched his fists, with a solemn face,

He followed Gongsun Zan in his early years and saw Wuhuan, although Wuhuan is small, but it is extremely difficult, the key is to match the Huns, and it is by no means a good stubble.

"Are you worried that the two are strong in the Central Plains? Is our army invincible? Chu Feng looked at Zhao Yun and said in a deep voice.

"Exactly! Although our army's stationing in Kaifeng will make Yuan Shao and Cao Cao jealous, once the two of them secretly communicate and come over at the same time, our army will definitely be difficult to defeat! Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

Chu Feng pondered slightly,

What Zhao Yun said is indeed good,

Although the soldiers and horses under his command are not afraid of death, but Cao Yuan and the Wuhuan Xiongnu coalition army, I am afraid that the number of troops will exceed 300,000, which is three times that of himself, and it is absolutely unwise to fight hard.

"My lord, what General Zilong said is that the Cao Yuan coalition army has a lot of soldiers and horses, and our army did not take it to heart earlier, if it really wants to attack, I am afraid that whether it is Puyang or Luoyang, it will be in danger."

Jia Xu also added.

Chu Feng pondered for a moment, and immediately said: "Order, requisition Zhao Fan's army out of Jingzhou, immediately go north to Kaifeng, Wen Ping led the headquarters of the people to walk with him, known as 100,000 people to the outside world, and played the edict to beg the thief, and the righteousness of the Qing monarch." ”

"As for Jingzhou, including Nanyang, it is fully controlled by Xu Shu's army, and the government affairs of the state will be put on hold for the time being."

"In addition, Chuantai Shici led the troops and horses of the headquarters to the north quickly, known as 50,000 soldiers and horses, and in the Kaifeng round, the territory of Yangzhou was handed over to Qiao Rui, and Lu Xun led the troops and horses of the headquarters to assist in deterring Yangzhou."

"As for Gao Tang Huang Zhong, he immediately discussed with the deputy governor of the navy to fight, and the navy army cooperated with Huang Zhong to launch an offensive in Qingzhou on the right flank at any time, so as to make Yuan Shao a little more jealous."

Chu Feng immediately said a series of operational deployments.

The eight legions, leaving two new legions to guard Jingyang, were fully mobilized in the front, and the six legions of Lu Su, Zhao Fan, Tai Shici, Lu Meng, Zhang He, and Huang Zhong can be called a decisive battle.

Hearing Chu Feng's various dispatches, everyone didn't say much,

Quietly watching the sword and pen clerk quickly record the contents, and at the same time stamping the letters and stamping the messengers to quickly spread to various places, everyone knew that this was likely to be a battle between the two sides.

Counting the reinforcements of Zhao Fan, Wen Ping, and Tai Shici, Chu Feng was connected to Huang Zhong's head-on, and the soldiers and horses were 1780,000, and the troops were not too weak, and they were capable of fighting with the two.

"I thought that this decisive battle would take two or three years, but I didn't expect Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to be so impatient, so let this battle end the troubled times of the Han Dynasty and become a battle for the Han to reach the peak!"

Chu Feng's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes were burning.

"In addition, send a message to Liu Zhang, asking him to beware of Cao Cao's attack from the east to the west, if he has the courage, it is best to recapture Hanzhong, on the one hand, it can relieve the pressure of our army, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the possibility of Cao Cao seizing Yizhou."

Chu Feng confessed again.

"No." The sword and pen officer responded, and wrote two letters separately and passed them on.

Looking into the distance, Chu Feng's eyes were deep.

"By the way, herald Zhuge Liang, ask him how the gunpowder is going, if it hasn't been conquered yet, then it will be produced in the most primitive explosives filling mode earlier, and I will let that group of exotic iron riders have no return!"

Chu Feng clenched his fists, his eyes flashing fiercely.

Maybe with today's productivity, you can't produce an absolutely crushing amount to bomb, but it's enough to get some to come to the front line, enough for that group of exotic iron riders to eat a pot.

"No!" The pen and knife clerk should write.

Everyone around them took a deep breath, and they could see that Chu Feng was angry, and directly asked Zhuge Liang to abandon the latest research and production earlier.

They know that thing, not to mention the amazing power, the key sound is also loud, and it has absolute lethality to the war horse.

"Okay, go full speed, and spread the news of our army's arrival in Kaifeng, as for the scouts, all of them will be sent out to me to investigate the movements of the Cao army and the Yuan army, and at the same time pay attention to the movements of the Xiongnu Wuhuan."

After Chu Feng finished speaking, he slowly sat back on the chariot and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Since the decisive battle, then he has to beat this group of garbage to pain, this time even if Cao Cao is a feint, then he will not return empty-handed, he has to go straight to Yedu and level the northern grasslands.

Jian'an six years, late February.

Yuan Shaoqin led the main force of 30,000 iron cavalry, 70,000 foot soldiers to Liyang, across the river to confront Puyang, his third son Yuan Shang led 10,000 iron cavalry, 30,000 foot soldiers on the plain, and Huang Zhong of the embankment of Gaotang.

As for his eldest son Yuan Tan, he contacted Wuhuan and Xiongnu, and the territory controlled by Yuan Tan was Youzhou and Merge Prefecture, all of which were handed over to them, and the relationship became closer and closer.

This made Yuan Shang more and more panicked.

And at this moment, inside Liyang City.

The Chu army was stationed in Kaifeng, and the news also reached Yuan Shao's ears.

"Hmph, Chu Feng's guy is so unexpectedly unsightly, just a garrison to open the seal, isn't he afraid that I will destroy Puyang in one fell swoop?" In the first place, Yuan Shao looked fierce and reprimanded angrily.

"Lord, that Chu Feng must be afraid of Lord Tianwei, so he didn't dare to garrison Puyang, but stationed troops in Kaifeng, hundreds of miles away, according to his subordinates, he wants to run at any time!"

Guo Tu stroked his beard and said with a chuckle.

"That's right, Chu Feng must have learned that the lord had gathered hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen from Wuhuan and the Huns, as well as the soldiers and horses of the lord's headquarters, he was afraid, so he stationed troops hundreds of miles away, and he must have been cowardly."

Feng Ji also smiled, with a smug face.

Yuan Shao was fooled by the two of them, and showed a long-lost smile, and only Xu You was left among the strategists in the hall, so he immediately looked at Xu You and asked, "Ziyuan, what do you think?" ”

"The mediocre minister is misguided!" Xu Yu proudly stroked his beard.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and asked.

But Guo Tu Fengji frowned tightly, wanting to debate with Xu You.

"Lord, Guo Tu Fengji and the two of them are shallow, how can they judge Chu Feng's intentions? Lord, look, Cao Cao personally led his troops and horses to surround Luoyang, and our army can also besiege Puyang at any time! ”

"If Chu Feng divides his troops to help, he will be defeated one by one, but if he is stationed in Kaifeng, Cao Cao will not dare to attack the city rashly, and the lord will not dare to rashly send troops."

"With a small number of soldiers and horses, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the lord and Cao Cao were contained, and this move was not a cowardice, but a good strategy. But this kind of strategy is cowardice in the eyes of some mediocre ministers, ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

Xu You sneered, with a proud face, in terms of talent alone, he looked down on Guo Tu and Fengji from the bottom of his heart, especially Tian Feng was secretly picked up by Chu Feng, which made Xu You the most beneficial strategist under Yuan Shao.

"Xu You, you." Guo Tufeng's egg hurt, and he was about to get angry when he pointed at Xu You, but Yuan Shao next to him frowned,

"That's enough," Yuan Shao shook his sleeves and scolded angrily: "Xu You is right, Chu Feng is not a timid person, and his layout Kaifeng is just as Xu You said, in order to contain me and Cao Cao." ”

“！！！”

Guo Tu Fengji and the others breathed a sigh of relief,

The two of them had anger in their eyes, damn it, they were pretended by Xu You, and the key Yuan Shao even agreed with what Xu You said,

No, Xu Yu is even more proud.

"Ziyuan, then in your opinion, what should our army do now?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You, with a bit of sincerity, and now it seems that only Xu You can count on under his command.

As for Guo Tu Fengji, the two stupid guys, it's okay to slap the horse, it's useless to do the right thing.

"First, urge General Yuan Tan to lead the Wuhuan Huns to Liyang."

"Second, immediately send envoys to Cao Cao, and agree to attack together, only in this way can Chu Feng be left and right." Xu You's words were conclusive, and he said immediately.

"That's reasonable, but Cao Cao said before the coalition that he was only feint to attack Luoyang, and there are only tens of thousands of iron horsemen at most on Luoyang's side, so he can't attack at all." Yuan Shao was a little helpless.

The reason why he gathered so many soldiers and horses was mainly because he felt that his time was running out, and it was time to fight Chu Feng to the death, as for waiting for Cao Cao, he didn't know when he had to wait.

Especially Cao Cao is seizing Xiliang again, and he is preparing to seize Yizhou, which makes Yuan Shao even more restless, from the strongest in the Three Kingdoms, he is likely to become the weakest in the Three Kingdoms, and he can't accept it at all with his arrogant character.

"Lord, our army has gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to go south, if Cao Cao really wants to destroy Chu, he will definitely not attack Yizhou at this time, and he should send someone to know it with emotion and reason, so that he can gather the main force to destroy Chu."

"If he still doesn't want to, then let him feint Luoyang, disperse Chu Feng's forces, our army surrounds Puyang with an absolute superiority of troops, and at the same time quickly moves south with iron cavalry to directly attack Chu Feng's reinforcements."

"Fighting on the plains, the foot soldiers are like babies in front of the cavalry, so the Chu army will be defeated!" Xu Yu said loudly.

"Haha, okay, Ziyuan thinks very well, all of them are carried out according to Ziyuan's words, this move, I want to be ashamed, defeat the Chu army, set foot in Hefei, and collect all parts of the Central Plains."

Yuan Shao was instantly full of pride and confidence.

Xu You's layout, he only had one feeling when he heard it, that is, it was not bad, it was good.

Guo Tu Fengji and the others wanted to speak, but they didn't know what to say for a while, if they directly denied what Xu You said, it is estimated that Yuan Shao would be able to hang them, and at this time, they should not touch their heads.

Immediately, many letters were sent to various places.

————

A few days later,

Luoyang, Cao Jun camp.

Cao Cao has been besieging the city for a long time, and he finally got a series of good news, Chu Feng not only personally led the troops to Kaifeng, but also mobilized the Zhao Fan army stationed in Jingzhou, as well as the Wenpin Department.

In other words, Chu Feng really believed that he wanted to capture Luoyang, so he transferred so many troops from Jingzhou, and when the time came, even if he captured Yizhou, Chu Feng would not be able to mobilize troops in a short time.

You can't let Xu Shu's 20,000 recruits enter the benefit to fight, not to mention that Jingzhou is unstable and Jiaozhou is newly attached, no matter what, Xu Shu will not dare to enter the benefit to fight.

"Okay, very good, since Chu Feng's army has been forced out, it is time for the battle of Yizhou to begin." Cao Cao laughed heartily, and immediately said: "Someone is coming, immediately send an order to the Hanzhong side, prepare to advance at full speed,"

"In addition, use all the secret forces in Hanzhong to rush me to Chengdu at all costs, and I will kill Liu Zhang's old boy!" Cao Cao said proudly.

This was the first time he had succeeded in his conspiracy in front of Chu Feng, and that joy was irrepressible.

"Lord, then Luoyang here. It is said that Yuan Shaoke has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and is ready to fight Chu Feng to the death, if we go to attack Yizhou at this time, once Yuan Shao is defeated, I am afraid."

Cao Ren frowned and immediately said.

Capturing Yizhou is naturally a good thing, but he doesn't believe in Yuan Shao's strength, once Yuan Shao is defeated, doesn't it mean that the four northern states will also fall into the hands of Chu Feng, and even if he takes Yizhou at that time, what can he do?

The territory of the two or three states could not compete with the land of Chu Feng's ten states at all, and there was no chance of winning whether it was dragged or fought.

Guo Jia hesitated slightly, and also spoke: "Lord, what General Cao Ren said also makes some sense, although we have a chance to take Yizhou, but Yuan Shao is too anxious,"

"Once Yuan Shao is defeated by Chu Feng head-on, I'm afraid that even if our army takes Yizhou, it will be useless!"

Hearing Guo Jia also speak, Cao Cao took a new look, in fact, he also knew it, but at the moment he could only choose from it, taking Yizhou belonged to strengthening his own strength, and it was strange that Yuan Shao was impatient.

At this moment, the military marquis of Yingmen rushed over, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao sent an envoy to ask for a meeting." ”

"Yuan Shao sent someone? Let him in! Cao Cao muttered slightly, probably guessing the intention of Yuan Shao sending someone in his heart, and responded tepidly.

After a while, the envoy strode in.

In the tent, Xun You looked at the person who came, raised his eyebrows slightly and squinted, the person who came turned out to be Xun Chen, speaking of which, this person is also his uncle, Xun Yu's younger brother, and a member of their Xun family.

Xun Chen glanced at Xun You, bowed his head to signal, and then looked at Cao Cao with his fists clenched, and said without humility or arrogance: "Xun Chen, the envoy under the command of the Lower Jizhou Mu, has seen Prime Minister Cao Cheng. ”

"No need to be polite, Xun Chen, what did you ask you to do in the first place?" Cao Cao waved his hand and asked.

"Back to the prime minister, on the orders of my lord, I beg the prime minister to send troops and go all out to capture Chu Feng. My lord has united with the Huns Wuhuan tens of thousands of horsemen, as long as the prime minister goes all out, he will definitely be able to turn Chu Feng into powder. ”

Xun Chen clenched his fists and said solemnly.

"Hehe, I'm sending troops, haven't you seen it?" Cao Cao asked curiously.

"Prime Minister, you and my lord are both smart people, if my lord is defeated, there will be thirteen states in the world, and more than ten states will be owned by Chu Feng, even if the prime minister can win Yizhou, but can he change his surname in this world?"

Xun Chen frowned and looked at Cao Caodao.

"Haha, at the beginning of the gathering of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, do you still want to lose? What's more, I told him earlier that I want to go to Yizhou, and then unite the whole army to capture Chu Feng,"

"But Ben Chu played tricks with me, he was afraid that I would slowly grow bigger, so he deliberately went south in advance, wanting to force me to fight Chu Feng in a decisive battle, right?" Cao Cao snorted coldly, he naturally knew Yuan Shao's intentions,

He made it clear that he didn't want to let himself take Yizhou.

"Why did the prime minister say this?"
