Chapter 413 The army and the people are united

"This Cao Cao is really treacherous!"

As soon as he returned from the commander's camp, Chi couldn't help but say something.

"Young Master, Cao Cao clearly doesn't trust us and is afraid that we will cheat on you!" Mei was also a little displeased.

Just before the discussion in the military camp, Cao Cao proposed to exchange general supervision, that is to say, to supervise each other's performance. This method is obviously so that everyone can work together.

Otherwise, the Quartet Alliance would be a joke.

"Young Master, you shouldn't have agreed to him just now!" Gatoni couldn't help but responded.

"Hmph, if it were before, I would naturally not agree, but now, Chu Feng and I have a blood feud, and I must make him pay the price, not to mention that Chu Feng's strength has exceeded my expectations."

"If the four coalition forces are all sneaking and playing tricks, they will never be able to defeat this person. Instead of wasting all their efforts, it is better to readily agree to eradicate this person completely now!" The third generation narrowed his pupils and said sinisterly.

He was beaten alive by Chu Feng and turned into an eunuch. He must avenge this blood feud.

"But young master, if we expend too many troops in attacking Chu Feng, we may not be able to do enough to destroy Cao Cao! You must know that the two generals have already died in the battle!"

"On the other hand, under Cao Cao's rule, there are so many powerful generals, it is not easy!" Gatoni reminded carefully.

"Now is not the time to think about this. No matter what, I must kill Chu Feng first. As for Cao Cao, when Chu Feng's war is over, I will let my father continue to send troops!"

The Third waved his hand, indicating that everyone should not think too much.

He had already thought clearly, and what he needed to do now was to kill Chu Feng. As for Cao Cao, although he was a hero, he was still far behind Chu Feng, so there was nothing to worry about.

"This!!!" Gatoni was stunned for a moment.

He finally understood that the Third Generation was bound to kill Chu Feng. This was not good news for them. After all, even if Chu Feng was killed, they would not be able to capture Yangzhou.

To put it bluntly, he was working for Cao Cao.

But before he could speak again, the Third World spoke again: "Okay, I have made up my mind on this matter, no need to say more!"

"More, Xiao Mei, you two will establish a good relationship with the generals sent by Cao Cao later, and by the way, give me your best efforts to break through the Chu army's defense line. It is said that the general offensive will be launched in the next two days."

The third generation looked at the two evil spirits again and explained.

"No!" The evil spirits nodded.

"Don't worry, young master. Most of the Chu army along the coast are common people, and only a few county soldiers are stationed there. They are not worth mentioning. Our army, whether infantry or cavalry, is the most elite warrior in the empire. It is definitely not comparable to the common people under Chu Feng's command!

"

Qi once again emphasized his abilities.

In his opinion, the Chu army simply ignored human lives by letting the common people defend the coast. How could these common people be the opponents of their troops?

"Don't be careless, go all out, kill these untouchable people for me, and then invade Hefei. I will make Chu Feng pay for his debt with blood. I will send all his wives and concubines to the military camp. I can't help but die."

There was a hint of viciousness, even madness, in Sanshi's eyes. He had become crazy because of this incident.

"No!" The demons lowered their heads one after another.

They could hear the anger in their boss's words. Thinking about it, from the beginning, the bird-man turned into a black-man. This is missing something. Without this, a man is no longer a man.

"Go down and prepare, plan for the best or the worst!" Sanshi looked back, and then the others retreated.

Looking at the backs of several people leaving, the third generation's face was vicious and ferocious. He clenched his five fingers and roared and trembled: "Chu Feng, I will make your life worse than death, and let you watch them being killed."

————

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

The coalition forces mobilized frequently. Except for the main forces concentrated on the north bank of the Chu army, the rest of the troops were scattered, mainly concentrated in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, because that was the farthest place from the Chu army's defense line and the weakest reinforcement.

Chu Feng naturally saw all these arrangements.

At this moment, inside the camp on the north bank.

Chu Feng looked at the map in front of him and squinted his eyes.

Next to him, Lu Su said with a solemn expression: "My lord, the dry season has completely arrived. The coalition forces have been frequently deploying troops and generals in recent days. I'm afraid the decisive battle won't be too far away!"

Chu Feng nodded with a solemn expression.

"When do you think they are going to go south?" Chu Feng slid the pen in his hand along the Huaihe River, showing a trace of solemnity. After all, the dry season was approaching, and there was no way the coalition forces would remain silent.

All the generals looked at each other, but they couldn't understand!

Lu Meng frowned, took a step forward and said, "My lord, you might as well look outside!"

"Outside? What's going on?" Chu Feng looked around with a bit of curiosity.

"In the depth of winter, the sky is clear. This is a sign of heavy fog. Lord, I mostly live on both sides of the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. Heavy fog often falls on both sides of the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers in winter, and this kind of fog is especially severe on the river surface."

"During heavy fog, the visibility is less than ten steps. On the Jianghuai River, in severe cases, you can even lose sight of your hands. The general suspects that the coalition forces are probably waiting for a surprise attack in heavy fog."

"Because there is only heavy fog, it is difficult for our army to patrol the water, and the troops and people on the south bank cannot detect the enemy's traces immediately." Lu Meng looked at Chu Feng and said solemnly.

After listening to Lu Meng's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

It is true that they have the advantage of the navy division, but if thick fog spreads, the navy division will definitely not be able to patrol, which will give the coalition forces an opportunity to take advantage of it. To put it bluntly, this is a complete conspiracy.

Because it can’t be solved at all!

"Then what do you think we should do?" Chu Feng looked at Lu Meng and asked.

"A rope is laid out in the water and connected to the bell. If the enemy is preparing to cross the Huaihe River, the bell will naturally ring immediately. This will make it easier to detect the enemy's crossing than the naked eye at a distance of ten steps."

"Otherwise, even if the people are guarding the shore and can't see the enemy, they will be ten steps away from the enemy and there will be no time to assemble again, and they will have to be massacred!" Lu Meng said solemnly.

"My lord, General Lu is right. In dense fog, the visibility is less than ten meters. It is impossible to inspect with the naked eye. By the time you find out, it is already too late, so you need to use something!"

Lu Su nodded. He was also from Jianghuai and knew the inconvenience of thick fog.

"Is it too late?" Chu Feng asked solemnly.

After all, it is not possible to arrange these things in just one sentence. The entire Huaihe River is thousands of miles long. Even if it is hundreds of miles long, it will take a while to arrange it. There will not be so many bells in one time!

"What we can do is to lay some ground. In addition, we should ask all ministries to strictly guard the embankments and stay vigilant at all times. Otherwise, if the coalition forces come ashore, they will probably tear open the gates and cause inevitable losses!"

Lu Meng lamented that it was only his fault that he did not think of this at first.

He also knew how it was possible to lay out so many in such a short period of time, so he could only say that he would do his best.

"Yes! Pass the order. All soldiers and civilians along the way will be in full formation. Don't be careless, especially on the river. Arrange as many people as possible to enter the river to explore. If you don't come back for a while, the whole army will be under martial law!"

Chu Feng said in a deep voice.

"No!" Everyone nodded.

"Huh!" Chu Feng took a deep breath and exhaled. This situation was simply too passive. He couldn't mobilize his troops, because mobilizing them anywhere would have little effect.

"My lord, you don't need to be anxious. The army and the people are united in this battle, so the coalition forces may not be able to get any benefits!" Jia Xu looked at the haggard Chu Feng and said with some concern.

"Yes, lord, don't worry, we will do our best! What's more, we have asked Hefei to be more prepared and can enter a defensive state at any time, but we will lose something!"

Lu Su also expressed relief that they could all see Chu Feng's dedication and that he was heartbroken for the sake of the people.

"Okay, I'm fine, go down and get ready!" Chu Feng waved his hand and tried his best to cheer himself up. Relatively speaking, he was too passive for this decisive battle. He had too many infantrymen and there was no way he could go out of the stronghold to fight the allied forces.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands of cavalry on the opposite side.

Even if you charge into the formation forcefully, you can defeat him.

————

Military orders rushed from the Chu army camp to various places.

And various places have begun to make arrangements, and the soldiers and civilians who received the news also looked solemn. They naturally knew the disadvantages of heavy fog, but the time was too short, and many places did not even have time to make arrangements.

I just learned the news that the coalition forces may use the fog to make a surprise attack.

It was already late that night when I learned the news.

——

At this moment, late at night!

Within the territory of Yangquan County, the government office.

County Magistrate Wang Wei had already fallen asleep, but at this moment, the housekeeper's hurried knock on the door sounded. Wang Wei frowned in confusion, and the lady next to him was a little impatient: "Who is this in the middle of the night?"

"County magistrate, urgent message from my lord!"

"My lord?" Wang Wei's pupils shrank, he immediately lifted the quilt and stood up, grabbed his robe and said to his wife: "You go to bed first, my lord sent a message late at night, there must be something urgent!"

With that said, Wang Wei dressed neatly and went out.

Late at night, I opened the door and the cold wind was biting!

After receiving the letter, Wang Wei frowned and said, "Where is the messenger?"

"The messenger left the letter and galloped off to the next place!" the steward replied.

Wang Wei immediately threw away the envelope. The content on it was very simple. It basically informed various places to prepare for surprise attacks by the coalition forces in foggy weather.

"A surprise attack in foggy weather?" Wang Wei frowned and raised his eyebrows to look around. The lantern in the butler's hand was emitting a candle, but the fog began to spread around the candle. It was obvious that there would be heavy fog early this morning.

"It's bad, the bandit army may take advantage of the foggy weather to make a surprise attack!"
