"It's okay, Xianbei can't turn the wind and waves!"

Chu Feng raised his hand, what he needs now is time, Xianbei can't go south in a short time, as long as the current difficulties are solved, then Xianbei will only be a part of the big man in the future.

What's more, Xianbei only annexed part of the territory of the Wuhuan Xiongnu, and did not take the prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty.

Hearing Chu Feng's words, everyone was not entangled, and they all thought of the research that Zhuge Liang was responsible for, and threw a few explosives to Xianbei, and it was estimated that Xianbei's soul would be scared.

"Lord, did you really decide to go north to compete with Yuan Shao?" Lu Su frowned and asked, he never thought that a decisive battle was the best solution!

"Is there any fake?" Chu Feng raised his eyebrows: "Don't think about it, although the decisive battle of Puyang is far away, it can hold the trampling of the northern iron cavalry and stop him north of the Yellow River." ”

Jia Xu said with a beard: "Lord, Cao Cao's side may need to be more vigilant, according to the scout's report, his soldiers and horses still have not launched an attack on Yizhou, I am afraid that the decisive battle against Luoyang will really be won." ”

"Now that the lord is leading his troops north, if Cao Cao is in trouble, the troops in Luoyang are empty, I am afraid that it is a little dangerous, you must know that Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers are not as vulnerable as the infantry under Yuan Shao!"

Jia Xu said in a deep voice with a bit of solemnity.

Hearing this, Chu Feng nodded, he had been thinking about it all the time, so he left Lu Su to wait here, but even so, with Zhang Liao Gaoshun's soldiers and horses, the three of them were only 30,000 people.

Cao Cao can gather an army of 150,000 to say the least, and once the city is besieged, it will definitely fall into a dead end.

"It will take at least a month for the Cao army to move in Hanzhong, and the armies of Zhao Fan, Wen Ping, and Tai Shici will be assembled, and they will inevitably arrive within half a month, so there will be at least 80,000 people to confront it, and the difference in strength is not large."

Chu Feng's expression was solemn, and he analyzed in a deep voice.

In this way, he immediately sent fast horses to urge the three of them to march quickly and come as soon as possible. At the same time, in Yangzhou and Jingzhou, in the name of An Tianxia, 200,000 reservists were urgently conscripted and ready to go to the battlefield at any time. ”

Chu Feng added.

The 200,000 reserve is definitely the largest mobilization in history, but Chu Feng hopes that he will not need these people, after all, if he really wants to use these soldiers and horses, he may already be defeated on the front line.

"That's it!" Lu Su nodded solemnly.

The 200,000 reserve can be regarded as the last line of defense to consolidate the frontier.

"Liu Zhang's side sent someone to urge and urge, I don't believe it, is he really so stupid? Watching Cao Cao send troops? Chu Feng was a little annoyed, this Liu Zhang was really stupid and incompetent.

No wonder history is the same as a fool.

"No!" Jia Xu nodded in response.

"By the way, what did Zhuge Liang say? Can you get something out? Send someone to tell him that there are 100,000 people on the front line, and everything is mainly war. Chu Feng's eyes were solemn and urged.

If it had been before, he was not in a hurry.

But now it seems that he has to be in a hurry.

After all, he thought that the decisive battle would be about two years away, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so anxious, and Cao Cao was also roasted on the fire by this operation, so he had to decide in advance.

"I've sent someone to urge!" Lu Su replied.

"Okay, all the generals of all the departments will go down to repair, tomorrow the third watch will make a fire, the fifth watch will pull out the camp, and go to Puyang at full speed." Chu Feng looked at the generals and said with a solemn expression: "This battle is up to you!" ”

"No!" Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Zhang He, Xu Chu and other generals responded together, their voices solemn.

————

Luoyang, Cao Jun camp outside the city.

Cao Cao looked at the envoy sent by Yuan Shao, and couldn't help frowning, because the envoy was talking about food, which could make Cao Cao angry enough, because he said that he would give a maximum of 100,000 stones.

And it has to be given after the army.

"Xun Chen, Yuan Shao, don't you want to cooperate?" Cao Cao was displeased, shook his sleeves and snorted coldly, after all, hundreds of thousands of grains are far from the current 100,000 stones.

"Cao Gong is angry, my lord said, there is really not so much food, these 100,000 stones are made up in every possible way, it is by no means insincere, and my lord has already gone south along the Yellow River."

Xun Chen hurriedly explained.

Cao Cao was still displeased, his poor people knew that if he wanted to fight this battle, the amount of grain and grass needed was absolutely astronomical, and he was afraid that he would not be able to supply the army halfway through the battle.

You know, it's just his own army,

But soon Guishan will send 200,000 troops to help, and these 200,000 soldiers are a large amount of food expenditure.

"Hmph, I transferred the soldiers and horses from Hanzhong to Luoyang, thousands of miles away, during this period, the use is quite high, he Yuan Shao can't compensate for this, how can I let me send troops?"

Cao Cao shook his sleeves, and he didn't want to send troops.

In the hall, Guo Jia also saw what Cao Cao meant, and immediately chuckled: "Lord, in my opinion, it is better to let the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong not act rashly and continue to attack Yizhou, as for Yuan Gong, if you want to come to Yuan Gong with the help of Wuhuan Huns, you should be safe!" ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia glanced at Xun Chen with his spare eyes, he said this to Xun Chen, knocking on him, making him clear that Cao Cao had a choice, and it was more tempting to choose to attack Yizhou.

Xun Chen's pupils were a little flustered, but he didn't show it, no way, the arrival of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan made Yuan Shao a little inflated, and he didn't rely on Cao Cao and Yuan Shao so much.

"Guo Xianjiu laughed, Chu Feng is the lifelong enemy of my lord and Cao Gong, this battle is the most critical battle to destroy Chu Feng, once Cao Gong does not participate in the war, let the Chu army annihilate our army, and there will be no possibility of the surname Cao in the world."

Xun Chen replied heartily.

"I think Cao Gong also knows that the Chu army is strong, it is not a false name of Lang, the elite of the world are defeated by Chu Feng, although my lord has the help of Wuhuan Huns, it is difficult to guarantee that he will win."

Xun Chen added.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, pondering in his heart, he was thinking about whether to help Yuan Shao, after all, the pros and cons were there, they had discussed this matter earlier, but now he was still entangled.

The focus is still on this grain and grass.

Grain and grass are the top priority of the three armies, counting the grain and grass of Guishan, once this battle falls into a protracted war, I am afraid that it will require the loss of tens of millions of stones, and it will not be able to support it at all with the strength of his Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao was a little speechless.

Why is that Chu Feng never short of food?

However, if he knew that the yield of potatoes per mu planted by Chu Feng might be dispelled by him, because he was too naïve.

"Cao Gong, it's better to be like this, on behalf of my lord, I decided that 150,000 stone of grain will be sent out from Wei County on the same day to ensure that Cao Gong's grain is used, but I also hope that Cao Gong can advance and retreat together and participate in the grand event."

Xun Chen saw Cao Cao's hesitation, and immediately hit the railway while it was hot.

Cao Cao frowned, but in his heart he was calculating the use of food, and under normal calculations, the normal consumption of soldiers is one stone a day for fifty people, that is to say, the front of 150,000 troops will get three thousand stones a day.

In a hundred days, you will get 300,000 stones of grain and grass,

If you count the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Kushan Empire, it will also take 400,000 for a hundred days, and here it is only a hundred days, and it is only the direct expense of the soldiers, if you count the indirect.

For example, when people transport grain, the round-trip loss directly breaks one million stones.

In addition, the war horse also needs to take refined food, which is another large expense, which makes Cao Cao feel colder the more he thinks about it, and the more he calculates the bottomless he is, just a hundred days, I am afraid that he will need more than a million stones.

Millions of stones, that's not a small amount.

Yizhou gave a hundred thousand, Yuan Shao gave a hundred thousand, and the difference of one million all needs to be borne by him, Hanzhong is the granary of the world, but Hanzhong is too far away from Luoyang, and far water can't quench the thirst.

As for Guanzhong, the land of Sanfu is fertile and thousands of miles away.

However, the people under his command are limited, and there are only millions of people in the land of Sanfu Guanzhong, even if a household cultivates a hundred small acres, and ten taxes per acre of land are calculated, and the people of a household pay more than ten stones at most.

Counting down to about 10 million stones,

Except for the loss of various places, the cost of transportation, the expenses of various places, and all aspects, tens of millions of stones, grains and grass are nothing, and once this battle cannot be quickly resolved, I am afraid that the treasury of a year will have to be filled.

Fighting a war has always been a time of foundation.

Thinking about these clearly, Cao Cao had a concept, to put it bluntly, as long as this battle is invested, he will almost use a year's finances to fight the war, and even if he provides for it, it will lose a lot.

"Xun Chen, I won't tell you, I have also found a lot of reinforcements from all over the country, and now I am suffering from no food and grass, if there is enough food and grass, I am afraid that the strength of the alliance between you and me will approach one million."

Cao Cao directly admitted that maybe Cao Cao didn't take Yuan Shao to heart, or rather, he had to know this sooner or later!

"Reinforcements?" Xun Chen was stunned, his pupils shrank, and he slandered in his heart, it seems that Cao Cao's ambitions are not small, and these reinforcements are obviously here to help capture the Central Plains.

But if Chu Feng is defeated, then these reinforcements will directly fight back, but at the moment, he didn't have a chance to think so much, so he immediately looked at Cao Cao: "Gong Cao, it's naturally a good thing to ask for reinforcements." ”

"Then this decisive battle with Chu Feng will definitely be a big victory."

"Thinking about it, the million-strong army on both sides of us will inevitably make the Chu army's strength stretched, and it can even advance from many places, approaching Hefei, so that Chu Feng must return to defense!"

Xun Chen Lang smiled and said.

Indeed, hundreds of thousands of troops, only need to divide the troops into multiple ways, Chu Feng will be numb, after all, with the strength of the Chu army, it is not yet capable of more than one enemy, not to mention that Cao Yuan also found Yuan Jun separately.

This is calculated, which is equivalent to the alliance of five countries, and Chu Feng has one enemy and five.

This is obviously unlikely, no country has the ability to defeat five with one, even if the Chu army is strong, it is absolutely impossible.

"200,000 stone grain and grass, it is estimated that their soldiers and horses will arrive soon, if Yuan Shao wants to form an alliance, then send grain and grass quickly, otherwise I will use these soldiers and horses to attack Yizhou,"

"At that time, even if I am defeated at the beginning, I will have to rely on Chu Feng to fight hard!" Cao Cao stretched out two fingers and stared at Xun Chen with shrewd eyes and said.

"This" Xun Chen hesitated, "I will respond on behalf of my lord for the time being, and I will try my best to convince my lord when I turn back, and I also hope that Cao Gong will lead his troops into the battlefield as soon as possible, my lord has already shared most of the offensive pressure in Puyang." ”

"Naturally, I look forward to Mr. Replying soon!" Cao Cao smiled gently, but in the depths of his eyes was cold, they were all old treacherous and cunning.

"Definitely!" After Xun Chen finished speaking, he simply took a sip of water, and rushed back with people non-stop, he was tired to death in the past few days.

Looking at Xun Chen's departing back, Guo Jia immediately hugged his fists and said, "Lord, is there a decisive battle?" ”

"Xun Chen has a good saying, Chu Feng is the enemy of his life, he will come to a thousand years later, he must be killed, as long as Chu Feng is killed, it will be easy to turn around and clean up Yuan Shao!"

"Didn't that Gatoni say that in the history of later generations, Yuan Shaoguan was defeated by me, not to mention, Yuan Shao was lenient inside and outside, and Wenchen such as Tian Feng was abducted by Chu Feng."

"Military generals such as Yan Liangwen Chou have died in battle, Zhang He Gaolan has also surrendered, and only vulgar people such as Han Meng, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang are left, which are not worth mentioning at all!"

Cao Cao waved his hand, which can be regarded as seeing things thoroughly.

All the civilians and martial artists nodded in unison, indeed, compared to Chu Feng, they didn't take Yuan Shao to heart, only Chu Feng was really hanging.

"By the way, Feng Xiao, do you know why Chu Feng has never heard of a shortage of rations?" Cao Cao asked curiously, he wanted to ask just now, and the scouts under his command inquired and came to see,

I have never seen a shortage of food in the Chu army,

"This, it may be related to Chu Feng's operation, and Jingzhou and Yangzhou are both the land of fish and rice, rich in products, and there is no shortage of rations." Xun You answered.

"Lord, I know a thing or two about this matter, and my subordinates have investigated and learned that in addition to eating millet, rice, wheat and other food species, the Chu army also eats something called potatoes."

"Most of them are the size of a fist, and they can be used after cooking for a while, and they can be stored for a long time. I have also inquired in many ways, but this thing is kept strictly secret by the Chu army, and I don't know how much the specific output value per mu is! ”

Guo Jia explained, but didn't think much about it.

"Oh yes, there is another point, the sea is being developed under Chu Feng's rule, and it is said that countless commercial fishing boats have gone out of the port to fish, and each net can catch tens of thousands of catties, which is extremely large."

"These marine fish, they are usually refrigerated with ice cubes and sent to various places, or directly on the coast for coarse salt processing to increase the preservation time, these are all food!"

Guo Jia suddenly remembered this again and added.

This thing is said to have started a month or two ago,

"Potatoes? Going fishing? Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, but he was shocked in his heart, he has always gone out to sea to fish, but because of the rough sea, big ships can't enter the deep sea to fish.

Normally, small boats go out to sea to fish,

After all, a big ship costs a lot of money, and once it hits the reef and sinks, there is still a danger to life, and the previous ships are not strong in wind and waves, and the dignitaries and dignitaries in the mainland do not like to eat sea fish.

As a result, offshore development has been relatively stagnant.

Now Chu Feng began to develop the sea, thinking that the ship construction technology he had mastered was extraordinary, and he could sail in the ocean.

"Chu Feng, lifelong enemy!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said heavily.

This man brought so much that he didn't expect.

Everyone was silent, and some even nodded approvingly.

"Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, by the way, has Xiahou Yuan sent back news from Yizhou?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Not yet, but with Liu Zhang's weak and incompetent character, I shouldn't dare to refuse, and the lord is waiting!" Xun You explained.

"That's it!"
