At this time, Huang Zhong finally understood why Guan Yu was so weird before.

Before, he had never understood why Guan Yu always had such a strange expression when he heard Cao Jun's news.

Now, Huang Zhong understands.

The main thing is Chen Feng's plan......

It's too genius.

Ordinary people don't even dare to think about it, let alone implement it.

But Chen Feng not only dared to think, but also dared to do.

More critically.

Even if Huang Zhong wanted to persuade Chen Feng, he had no chance.

After all, everyone has already gone up the mountain, what else can be done?

One more run, one more lap?

Huang Zhong didn't think he had such an ability.

Therefore, after Chen Feng answered, Huang Zhong didn't even ask, and went directly to the front line with a shovel.

Even, he didn't ask Chen Feng to explain.

Of course, Chen Feng could see how bad Huang Zhong's mood was at this time.

He actually wanted to stop the other party and explain why he chose this plan.

However, after pondering carefully for a while, Chen Feng finally gave up the idea of explaining.

As the saying goes, don't look at the advertisement to see the curative effect.

Therefore, Chen Feng felt that no matter how much he explained, it would not be as great as the huge shock brought by waiting for the moment when the plan completely took effect.

Time began to fly by.

Before I knew it, almost a month had passed.

And at this time, Cao Cao finally joined Zhang Liao with his troops.

"Why don't you stop it?"

Just met, Cao Cao didn't wait for Zhang Liao to speak, so he glared at the other party very unkindly and asked.

"There are two reasons for this."

Zhang Liao had already made preparations, so he said the prepared words without panic: "First, Sun Quan may counterattack at any time, and second, the Chen family in the Huaibei area is not small, once Chen Feng imitates the matter of Xiangcheng, I am afraid it will be a big disaster." ”

What does that mean?

To put it simply, his Zhang Liao's first task is to guard against Sun Quan.

Of course, although guarding against Sun Quan is the first priority, he is still very obedient, and if he can, he should of course choose to block Chen Feng.

But what is the situation in Xuzhou......

I can only say that I understand everything.

Therefore, in order to prevent Chen Feng from following the example of Chen Qun's father and son from converging with the Chen family in Xuzhou, and even to win over the Chen family in Xuzhou, Zhang Liao naturally could not send troops.

Otherwise, it is easy to cause a chain reaction.

Frankly speaking, Zhang Liao's worries are all well-founded.

At the very least, even Cao Cao, who has always liked to pick bones in eggs, didn't find too many loopholes.

"Wen Yuan did the right thing."

So, after Zhang Liao answered, Cao Cao showed a smile on his face, and he was very satisfied and pulled Zhang Liao to ask about Sun Quan and Chen Feng.

"Sun Quan hasn't made much of a move, and it seems that he is still preparing to ......"

"As for Chen Feng......"

Zhang Liao had already done his homework, so he answered very smoothly, "After this thief led his army to the mountain, for some reason, not only did he not mean to leave, but he also gave the order to dig a trench to the soldiers. ”

"Liao, he is vulgar, I don't understand what this thief means."

Speaking of this, he shook his head helplessly, and put on a bitter face, as if he wanted to let Cao Cao know his hard work.

"Digging a trench?"

Cao Cao was not vulgar, but he obviously didn't know what Chen Feng was going to do, otherwise, he wouldn't have been suddenly stunned at this time.

"Exactly."

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Since Chen Feng led the army up the mountain, this thief has ...... From half a month ago, I started digging a trench until now, day and night! ”

"Ziyang, what do you think?"

Cao Cao's eyes rolled, and he obviously couldn't think of a problem, so he decisively looked at Liu Ye beside him.

"Digging a trench?"

"In Ye's humble opinion, Chen Feng is afraid that he wants to use this to prevent His Majesty from leading the army up the mountain!"

Liu Ye gave a serious answer, but soon muttered strangely: "Although this is basically the case, this really doesn't make sense......

"Why doesn't it make sense?"

Cao Cao stared at Liu Ye.

"Your Majesty."

Liu Ye arched his hand to Cao Cao and said, "Logically speaking, unless it is determined that one side will attack, otherwise, the side as the defender will not arrange too many defensive facilities anyway. ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

After listening to Liu Ye's words, Cao Cao and Zhang Liao both had puzzled expressions on their faces.

"To put it simply......"

Seeing the expressions of the two, Liu Ye took a deep breath and slowly explained: "In terms of the situation on the mountain, Your Majesty can only besiege and not attack, so that in just two or three months, or even a month, the grain in Chen Feng's camp will be exhausted, and by that time...... Even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he will be defeated! ”

】

"Therefore, the most important thing Chen Feng should do at this time is actually to unite with some rebels, open up several key roads at the same time, and obtain the grain and straw replenishment of the rebels."

"The last thing you should do is to dig a trench and wait for our army to attack the mountain."

"Compared with attacking the mountain, Your Majesty can win the victory by only besieging and not attacking, and there is no need to pay for the casualties of the soldiers."

"In other words, Chen Feng calculated that I would attack the mountain before?"

After Cao Cao touched the beard on his chin, he suddenly smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then I will simply stop attacking the mountain." ”

He felt that he had grasped the heart and the crux of the matter.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

When Liu Ye heard this, he gave a sycophant.

Hey?!

Zhang Liao was still in a daze, and it wasn't until Liu Ye opened his mouth that he suddenly came to his senses, and then his gaze at the latter began to change.

He didn't expect that this thing was still a sycophant.

According to Liu Ye's past experience, he shouldn't have been like this......

But then again, why shouldn't he Zhang Liao?

If it was at the beginning, after Chen Feng came with soldiers, where would he care about other people's thoughts?

He had already attacked directly with his troops.

Of course, it was not a reckless offensive, but a siege and interception after thinking, which consumed Chen Feng to death little by little.

But it is clear that Zhang Liao did not choose this approach in the end.

Like Liu Ye, he chose to pat Cao Cao's ass.

Although, a large part of the reason for this is that he does have something to do, and he is also worried that Chen Feng will be entangled with the remnants of the Chen family in Xuzhou.

What you must know is that although the Xuzhou Chen family is not very powerful after the death of Chen Deng and Chen Qi's father and son.

But the problem is that although the foundation of the Chen family in Xuzhou has long been gone, the families they have attracted or married before all exist.

More critically, most of these people are now on the verge of losing ground.

Therefore, if Chen Feng really wanted to merge with them, they would most likely agree directly.

After that, they will inevitably cause some damage to the good situation in Huainan.

So in general, Zhang Liao's defense was not wrong.

It's just that what he did was obviously a kind of sycophancy.

This is irrefutable.

The thing is obvious.

Compared with letting Chen Feng go up the mountain on his own, directly pressing him to death at the first time is obviously the most effective and direct way.

But Zhang Liao didn't do it.
