Chapter 252 Depressed Cao Cao, Black Angel Plan!(1/2)
"Urgent news from Qingzhou, get out of the way quickly!"
A fast horse galloped wildly, carrying an order flag on its back. It was only due to the urgent military situation of Cao Cao's army. He was immediately released from the camp and went straight to Cao Cao's central army's tent.
At this moment, matters are still being discussed in the tent.
Cao Cao smiled and said cheerfully: "Everyone, Chu Feng is now leading his troops to feint attack Qingzhou. This move has shared a lot of pressure for our army."
"However, our army's rations are limited and cannot last long. We must defeat the enemy head-on. I wonder if you have any good strategies?" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked around.
Seeing that all the generals were silent, Cao Cao frowned and looked at Guo Jiaxunyou and others, his expressions were obviously asking them for advice.
"My lord, Yuan's army is arrogant and has few generals, and Yuan Shao is even more difficult to give good advice. This time Yuan's army goes south, the offensive pressure is on them, not our army."
"Jia believes that our army only needs to keep calm and wait until Yuan Jun's vigor weakens, then attack with the whole army, and fight to the death with Yuan Jun, which can determine life or death." Guo Jia said confidently with his hands in hand.
Cao Cao nodded lightly, and the Northern Army moved south with the momentum of a great victory. It was really not suitable to go into battle at this moment. He remained silent and looked at Xun You again.
"My lord, Yuan's army has more than 110,000 infantry and cavalry, and the people eat horses and chew them, destroying thousands of stones of military rations every day. They are also the attackers, and they have to transport them a long way. You might as well write an article from the rations department!"
"If Yuan Shao's army can be cut off, Yuan's army will definitely be in panic. Even if it fails, there will be no loss. And as far as I know, Yuan's army is arrogant and is not strict about the defense of army rations."
"My lord just needs to send more scouts to explore the north bank, and after learning the news, send light cavalry to plunder." Xun You stroked his beard and suggested with a chuckle.
"What Fengxiao Gongda said is absolutely true. Our army's waiting for work will weaken its spirit and cut off its military supplies. This will definitely increase our army's chance of victory. Moreover, Chu Feng is stationing troops on the right wing. When the time comes..."
Cao Cao was smiling, but before he could finish speaking, an urgent voice sounded outside the camp.
"Urgent news from Qingzhou, urgent news from Qingzhou."
Hearing the voices outside the tent, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown. Qingzhou was the right wing that Chu Feng was guarding. At this moment, Qingzhou was urgent, and Cao Cao felt that something was not good.
"Let him in!" Cao Cao raised his hand.
Immediately, a small school hurriedly entered the account, and saw that his face was tired and dusty. He obviously came here in a hurry from eight hundred miles away. He glanced at the first person, Cao Cao, and said,
The principal shouted urgently: "My lord, there is an urgent message from Qingzhou. Chu Feng has sent General Zang Ba away to attack the plains. However, in the past two days, the Yellow River was full of Yuan army warships."
"Each ship had an extremely deep draft and unloaded countless things on the south bank. After that, Chu Feng ordered the withdrawal of the army, using the excuse that the army was short of food. If you look carefully, you can see that the Chu army had countless wooden carts along the way, stretching for dozens of miles!"
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Chu Feng has been bribed by Yuan Shao again. General Zang has already led his troops to retake Gaotang. Chu Feng cannot make a decision on this matter, so I ask my lord for instructions."
After saying that, the primary school handed over the documents stamped with Zang Ba's official seal.
However, after the principal finished speaking, the whole place became extremely quiet, and everyone held their breath and concentrated. As for Cao Cao, his dark cheeks turned gloomy at this moment.
"Seriously?"
Cao Cao lowered his voice and said.
"Well, the Chu army has begun to retreat, and it seems that they want to withdraw to Xiapi." The colonel nodded.
Cao Cao's steel teeth were gritting loudly. His fingers were holding the wooden chair, and his knuckles were white. It was obvious that Cao Cao was very angry at this moment.
"My lord, Chu Feng went back on his word. The general asked for orders to lead his troops to kill Chu Feng. It happened that all the counties and counties along the way were in the hands of our army." Cao Ren made a mistake and shouted angrily.
"Lord, we can't just let this matter go. Our army has given Chu Feng so many benefits. He withdrew his troops when he said he wanted to. Finally, the general is willing to decapitate his head and offer it to the lord."
Xu Huang also strode out of the queue and shouted loudly.
For a time, all the generals were filled with righteous indignation and asked for battle.
Xun You and Guo Jia looked at each other, and the former said: "Generals, please be patient. The reason why Chu Feng dares to blatantly attack others is precisely because he is confident."
"Yuan Shao is worried about Chu Feng's foreign army, and our army is equally worried, so his purpose this time is probably to benefit our army and Yuan's army. This person's methods are despicable and disgusting."
"But my lord, the fundamental reason for his confidence is that he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, which can determine the outcome. You suggest not to anger him,"
"Moreover, send someone to show your kindness and not mention the withdrawal of the troops, just let them not help each other." Xun You analyzed in a deep voice. He was also disgusted with Chu Feng's approach.
But my life is in someone else’s hands, there’s nothing I can do about it!
"Just forget it?" Cao Cao said with a trembling voice, looking at Xun You.
"This is the only thing we can do now. Yuan Jun is still a powerful enemy. If he offends Chu Feng, I'm afraid..." Xun You did not continue, but he knew in his heart that this was the only way he could do it this time.
Although I feel frustrated, I have no other choice.
"But I gave him thousands of war horses, including my son Cao Zhi, my daughter Cao Xian, and my concubine Yinshi. How can he just forget about it?" Cao Cao slapped the seat angrily and roared.
"That's the only way!" Xun You's words remained unchanged.
"Bang!" Cao Cao slapped the seat angrily and stood up.
"Whoops!" Cao Cao gasped, feeling a little annoyed, but he finally said: "Send the order, don't stop anyone along the way, or provoke the Chu army. Anyone who violates it will be executed!"
After saying that, Cao Cao seemed to have lost all his strength and fell down directly.
He was still thinking that he had no idea what Chu Feng could do this time, just a feint attack. Later, Chu Feng personally led the army northward and he was happy for a while.
Who would have thought that Chu Feng was seeking personal gain!
"Lord, you must be on guard against others. You can send agents to keep an eye on the route to prevent Chu Feng from taking the opportunity to advance westward." Guo Jia frowned and warned, although it was unlikely.
"Send an order to Chen Deng to make arrangements to keep an eye on him." Cao Cao said again.
"My lord, I think Chu Feng wants the situation to be chaotic more than we do. My lord, we might as well declare to the outside world that Chu Feng has conquered the plain, thus counteracting the rumors of Yuan Jun."
Xun You cupped his hands and suggested.
"Yes, just do as Gongda said." Cao Cao nodded. At this moment, Chu Feng most likely will not help either side. Then the two sides only need to spread rumors about each other.
"Okay, let's all go down, I want to be alone!" Cao Cao waved his hands, looking a little tired. Although he was very angry, in retrospect, he had to take the loss if he didn't want to.
Chu Feng's entry into the Central Plains this time is incredible.
He and Yuan Shao were two fat sheep that had to be slaughtered.
"No!" All the civil and military officials retreated with worry.
Seeing everyone leaving, Cao Cao took a deep breath. No matter what, he could not fall. Guandu needed him, Xuchang needed him, and the world needed him.
Cheer up and admit this to yourself!

A few days later,
Thirty miles north of Xiapi City,
On the slightly deserted and dilapidated official road, an army was rushing over in a mighty manner, winding and twisting for dozens of miles, and there were countless provisions and grass.
"Come on! My lord, Yuan Shao sent someone to urge us again, asking why our army hasn't marched westward yet." Zhang Liao came over on horseback, frowning and saying at a loss.
"Tell the messenger that I will transport the things back to Xiapi and launch an all-out attack. Let Mr. Yuan wait for a few more days." Chu Feng waved his hand and said impatiently.
Who wants to work after collecting the money?
What's more, I didn't intend to work in the first place.
"No!" Zhang Liao had just finished riding away, but after a few dozen breaths, he turned back and said, "My lord, Cao Cao has sent an envoy."
"Oh? Cao Cao's envoy is here too? In this way, let the brothers rest where they are for a while. You call Yuan Shao's envoy here first, and then call Cao Cao's envoy here later."
"Remember, stick to the time!" The corner of Chu Feng's mouth curled up. Let the two families go dog-eat-dog. Damn it, I am too lazy to pay attention.
"No!" Zhang Liao nodded,
Immediately, the messengers rushed back and forth to let the whole army rest, and the envoys of Yuan Jun were also brought to receive them at this moment. The question came up as to when to send out troops.
Chu Feng made a few random remarks,
Finally, when repelling Yuan Jun's envoy, Zhang Liao led Cao Jun's envoy over and happened to see him. This also made Cao Jun's envoy frown slightly and think deeply.
"Jiang Gan, who is under the command of Duke Cao, has met General Chu!" Jiang Gan said with clasped fists, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Jiang Qian?" Chu Feng raised his eyebrows. There were several records about this person in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he was biased towards negative aspects and was used by Zhou Yu to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
Of course, in official history, Cai Mao was not executed by Cao Cao, but lived well.
"What's the matter?" Chu Feng asked impatiently.
"General Chu, although my lord is in Guandu, he often misses the general. No, I have asked you to come here to visit me. If you need anything, the general can mention it at any time."
Jiang Qianyi pointed out something.
"Don't worry, Meng De and I have a close relationship, so we won't be polite." Chu Feng chuckled.
"Oh, by the way, General Chu, on the way here just now, I saw your army stretching for dozens of miles and countless vehicles of all kinds. I wonder what these are..."
Jiang Gan asked pretending to be confused.
"Nothing, just some local products given by Yuan Jun. Go back and tell Meng De to have a good fight with Yuan Shao. I'm waiting to hear the good news from him."
Chu Feng fooled him and warned him.
Seeing that Chu Feng didn't want to answer, Jiang Qian was about to ask a few more questions, but he heard Chu Feng say: "Xu Chu, Mr. Jiang is tired from all the traveling, please take him down to rest!"
Jiang Qian naturally did not dare to stay and immediately asked for orders to leave.
————
The next day, in Xiapi City.
The Chu army entered the city in an endless stream, and carts of grain were all transported to the granary. Countless gold and silver were collected into the treasury, and all kinds of materials were classified.
