Chapter 434 : Chapter 208: A War That Matters to the Overall Situation (2)
"This battle must be won," Zhao Yun said. Lu Su nodded in agreement.
"Of course we have to win. Otherwise, what are we going to do with our troops? Just escape early." Liu Feng laughed and said.
Youdao means to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically. But now Liu Feng's so-called strategy is just to win the battle. Therefore, Liu Feng firmly believed that he could win, and then raised troops to fight against the evil thief Liu Pi who wanted to annex him.
"Raise troops." Not long after, Liu Feng ordered.[
"Promise." Zhao Yun and Lu Su agreed and immediately went down to prepare. When the soldiers, led by Zhao Yun and Lu Su, quietly left the camp.
Liu Feng's carriage also quietly drove out of the camp.
Regardless of success or failure, you will only be captured if you stay here. Of course Liu Feng will also go out with the army.
Just when Liu Pi intended to annex Liu Feng to strengthen himself, Liu Feng had to take a dangerous approach to resist Liu Pi and instead sent troops to attack Runan.
The big event that countless people were looking forward to finally happened.
January 20, the fifth year of Jian'an.
Yuan Shaole sent 500,000 troops south, claiming to be one million. He expanded his strength in all aspects, intending to go south to annex Cao Cao and become the overlord of the world.
Xudu, in the hall of Sikong Mansion.
Cao Cao summoned a group of civil servants to discuss strategies to deal with Yuan Shao.
"Yuan Shao finally lost his ambition and went south. I no longer have doubts about whether to raise an army or not. But I have another doubt in my heart."
Cao Cao raised his head and said to the civil servants.
Just like Liu Feng wanted to resist the powerful Liu Pi, although he was weak, he was full of confidence. The same is true for Cao Cao. There is nothing to say about raising troops.
"Please make it public."
Xun Yu said.
"What should Dong Cheng do?" Since everyone here was his own, Cao Cao spoke directly. After speaking, Cao Cao raised his head and scanned everyone, intending to listen to their opinions.
Cao Cao still had certain suspicions about Dong Cheng. This suspicion could not be erased no matter what Liu Feng did. And now Cao Cao was preparing to launch a life-and-death war.
He was worried that if he fought with Yuan Shao in the north and something happened to Dong Cheng suddenly, the rear would be in danger.
Xun Yu's heart suddenly sank. Dong Cheng was the key figure in Liu Feng's capture of Xudu. If he couldn't stay in Xudu, it would be much more complicated.
But this matter is also under Liu Feng's consideration. He has already thought of countermeasures in advance.[
Therefore, although Xun Yu's heart sank, he quickly returned to his normal state of mind. He also raised his fist and said, "It is really not appropriate to leave Dong Cheng behind."
Xun Yu had followed Cao Cao for many years and knew that if Cao Cao had doubts, Dong Cheng would never stay behind. Furthermore, Liu Feng had already thought of a countermeasure when he left. There was no need for him to step forward and arouse Cao Cao's suspicion at this time.
"What Wen Ruo said is true. It would be more appropriate to arrange Dong Cheng in the front to fight Yuan Shao." Guo Jia said immediately.
All the other civil servants expressed their intention to pull Dong Cheng out. No one expressed their intention to keep Dong Cheng in Xudu.
"Except for Xiahou Dun and the 20,000 elite troops who must stay behind, all the remaining elite troops, including Dong Cheng's 5,000 elite troops, were all transferred to the north to return to Xiahou Yuan and others to fight against Yuan Shao with 100,000 elite troops."
Cao Cao saw that the opinions of the civil servants were extremely unanimous, so he immediately gave the order.
"promise."
All the civil servants agreed and then all retreated. The war was imminent, and there were many things to prepare for, so they were all very busy.
"Yuan Benchu, you are my last great enemy." After the civil servants left, Cao Cao said with a solemn expression.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, on February 28, Cao Cao raised tens of thousands of elite troops and joined forces with Xia Houyuan and other generals in the north to resist Cao Cao with 100,000 elite troops.
The Battle of Guandu breaks out.
Under this turbulent situation, a war broke out that no prince in the world could look at, and it was about the balance of power between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
This war took place between Liu Pi and Liu Feng.
Runan.
This county was an enclave of Yuan Shao in the Central Plains. Although it was as small as the tip of a needle, the tip of the needle had the effect of a needle tip. Because of the presence of Liu Pi, Liu Bei and others, Cao Cao had to accumulate 20,000 elite troops in Xudu.
It can be said that the existence of Runan played a role in drawing away some of Cao Cao's energy.
And because of Liu Pi's greed and Liu Feng's resistance, Runan may change its leadership. It may also lead to the balance of the entire Yuan-Cao War. Such an important war broke out silently.
