Han counter current

In addition, Zang Ba also led [-] soldiers and horses under his command. In addition, he also summoned the bandits and bandits near Mount Tai, and got more than [-] soldiers and horses.

This is Cao Jun going north again. Since occupying Xuzhou, Cao Jun has been resting. Yuan Tan even thought that Cao Jun would continue to slow down for a few years.

Who would have thought how long it would take before Cao Jun's tiger and wolf came again, and this time they directly hit his door.

Xiahou Dun is a battle-tested warrior, and Zang Ba is not easy to deal with. These two men brought [-] troops, although it is less than Qingzhou's [-] troops, but Yuan Tan still has no confidence to fight against them. .

In desperation, Yuan Tan could only seek help from Jizhou and Bingzhou one after another. However, this time Xiahou Dun was determined to attack Qingzhou, and even rounded up a large number of messengers sent by Yuan Tan.

Yuan Shang had already got the news, but he didn't dare to send troops to rescue him. After all, even if he wins, he will not get any benefits. If he loses, he will be the one who is unlucky.

How could Yuan Shang do such a loss-making business.As for Bingzhou, Gongsun Xu had already brought [-] cavalry to the Yanmen area, and the vanguard tribe even entered the grassland for training.

Most of the rest of the elite were concentrated in Shangdang, coupled with the frequent mobilization of Cao Jun in Hanoi and Chaoge, Gao Lan was so frightened that he could only strengthen the city defenses, but did not dare to send troops to support Qingzhou.

In Chang'an, Chen Feng is analyzing the battle report from Qingzhou. Gongsun Xu has already brought [-] cavalry to the grassland for training. Chen Feng also sent Xu Shu to participate in this military operation.

At this moment, only Li Ru and Pang Tong stayed in Chang'an to plan for Chen Feng.The big commotion in Qingzhou is well known to the whole world, but Chen Feng always feels that there is something wrong with it.

"Qingzhou, Cao Cao wants to seize Qingzhou? It shouldn't be. What Cao Cao wants most is Jizhou. The Zhanghe Plain is a stable food base. Even myself, that's very exciting."

Chen Feng frowned. He really couldn't understand Cao Jun's actions this time. No matter how elite Cao Jun was, there were [-] defenders in Qingzhou.

Besides, the ones going north this time can only be counted as a partial division of Cao Jun. Did Cao Cao think that a partial division could take Qingzhou?

Or is it just a cover to attack Qingzhou?Is there any other conspiracy here?Chen Feng couldn't figure it out, even Li Ru couldn't figure it out at this time.

"Is it possible that Cao Jun's attack on Qingzhou was fake, but it was real to attract soldiers from Jizhou to the south? After all, the relationship between the Hebei Alliance still exists, and it is impossible for Yuan Shang to refuse to save him.

If Yuan Shang really doesn't save him, is it possible for Cao Jun to do a fake show and take Qingzhou directly?By doing this, Cao Cao can be regarded as always grasping the initiative. "

Pang Tong is very smart and highly talented. After attacking Li Ru in the past two years, he has restrained his temperament and changed his way of thinking.

For example, now, he has thought about the battle situation in Qingzhou many times, and has drawn a lot of inferences. He has also guessed many times about Cao Jun's purpose.

"This may not be impossible, but I always feel something is wrong."

Chen Feng actually agreed with Pang Tong's inference. Cao Cao has always used troops like this, and he can always control the initiative on the battlefield.

This time, thinking about it, it would be no exception. The [-] army had already reached the Beihai city. Yuan Tan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and Yuan Shang was too frightened to act recklessly.

Such power is very similar to Cao Cao's previous style, which is also the main reason why Pang Tong came to his own inference.

The strange thing is that the military operations are obviously normal, and everything is in line with Cao Jun's behavior style. The battle situation in Qingzhou has also become very critical, but both Chen Feng and Li Ru feel that something is wrong.

What's wrong, they can't tell.Although Yuan Tan sent a request for help to Bingzhou, the reinforcements would not arrive so quickly.

No matter what Yuan Shang thought, Chen Feng would not send troops for the time being anyway.Qingzhou has an army of [-], and it has the advantages of the city. Under such circumstances, it can be broken by an army of [-], which can only show that Yuan Tan is too bad.

Therefore, Chen Feng decided to stand still before finding out the doubts in his heart. At the same time, Chen Feng also wanted to take the opportunity to see Cao Jun's combat strength.

Before the reinforcements arrived and the army was overwhelming, Yuan Tan lived in fear every day. Fortunately, there were only [-] Cao troops attacking Beihai.

Yuan Tan has an army of [-], of which more than [-] are veterans. This is also Yuan Tan's old foundation left over from years of fighting.

Although the remaining 3 soldiers and horses had mediocre combat effectiveness, they were more than enough to defend the city. Therefore, Xiahou Dun was unable to break through Beihai for a while.

In Jingzhou, Liu Biao's pressure was relatively reduced due to Cao Cao's troops marching north. In addition, Cao Cao and Liu Biao had an agreement to buy a large amount of grain and grass from Jingzhou. Therefore, this time Jingzhou has a chance to make a small fortune.

Xuchang, inside Cao Cao's mansion, these days Guo Jia and Cheng Yu have been busy in Cao Cao's mansion, while Xun Yu is busy with people's livelihood.

The drought in the Central Plains is considered serious, otherwise Cao Cao would not have launched a war before the summer harvest.

"Sure enough, as expected by Feng Xiao, soldiers from Jizhou did not dare to go south, and Chen Feng did not dare to act rashly. However, in order to alleviate the food crisis, soldiers from Bingzhou had to mobilize part of the troops to go north to plunder the grasslands.

In this way, the first step of our army's plan was considered a success. The Qingzhou army was compressed by us to the east of Beihai, and Yuan Tan dared not advance. Hehe, he is really cowardly. "

At this moment, Cao Cao had a confident and joyful smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.

However, the drought in the Central Plains is still severe, and the food crisis has always existed. Even sending [-] troops to attack Qingzhou, these problems have not been solved for the time being.

Cao Cao is an extremely intelligent person. How could he not be clear about the crises he encountered at this moment, so why is he smiling so confidently?

Cheng Yu next to him was continuing to process the information. The war was about to start. Whether it was Qingzhou or Bingzhou, or Jingzhou and other places, there were a lot of information sent. His burden was not light.

On the other hand, Guo Jia was drinking by himself. This time he went north to Qingzhou, he did not fight with the army, and Cao Cao also stayed in Xuchang. This situation is actually very unusual.

Xiahou Dun can be regarded as a rare general of the clan under Cao Cao's command, and Zang Ba is also a mad dog raised by Cao Cao. These two have extraordinary abilities, and the soldiers under his command are also powerful in combat. But, can they really win Qingzhou with them alone?

Taking a [-]-step back, even if you win Qingzhou, it seems to be just a dilapidated Qingzhou, right?How much food can be obtained?How much replacement do you get?

If the food crisis in the Central Plains cannot be resolved, Cao Cao's original intention of launching the war will not be realized. However, Cao Cao doesn't seem to be worried at all. What is he thinking?

Chapter 592 Unexpected 2

Cao Jun's dispatch of troops seemed to be in a hurry, and it seemed to be a temporary idea. In short, this attack on Qingzhou made many people feel puzzled.

After all, after these years of consumption, Qingzhou is no longer considered rich. Last year's disaster depleted a lot of Qingzhou's grain reserves, and this year's summer grain is still in the field.

Since Qingzhou is so poor and unattractive, why did Cao Cao send an army to attack Qingzhou?Could it be that Cao Cao has nothing to do?

"I don't believe it. Cao Cao must have some kind of plan. It's just that we didn't think of it. Everyone, if you think about it carefully, what is his goal?"

In the living room, Chen Feng was still worrying about the war in Qingzhou. Although he was the best in this battle, Shi Yuan stepped up his efforts to find out the news from all over the world, except for Hebei and the Central Plains, Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places should not be missed.

Cao Cao must be planning some kind of conspiracy, but we haven't thought of it for the time being. For the current plan, we must stop Cao Cao before he succeeds.

The drought has affected Bingzhou and the grassland a lot, and there is not enough food in Xiliang, so it is impossible to transport food from Youzhou.

The food stored in Hetao cannot be used for the time being, so we can only launch a war with an army of less than [-] at most.

The assembled [-]-strong army cannot be disbanded until we find out the enemy's situation. We don't have much time. "

Chen Feng is also very angry now. If it is a face-to-face contest with the enemy, even if the enemy is much stronger than him, he can find a way to defeat the opponent.

But this time, Cao Cao somehow set up such a situation. The chaotic appearance made it difficult for everyone to see clearly. Even if Chen Feng wanted to make a move, he didn't know where to attack.

At the same time, a large number of people were mobilized in Jingzhou. These people were not preparing for war. The strange thing was that they were all busy transporting grain and grass.

Jingzhou was originally a place of grain production. After Liu Biao's governance these years, it can be said that the weather is basically smooth. Even if there are occasional disasters, Jingzhou has hoarded too much grain.

Cao Cao's envoys secretly went to Jingzhou and Jiangdong again and again, and it seemed that they had reached some agreement. As early as last year, Cao Cao had purchased a lot of grain and grass from Jiangdong and Jingzhou.

A few days later, Pang Tong, who had just been in charge of intelligence work under Li Ru, inquired about a piece of news, so he quickly reported it to Chen Feng.

"This is the information, my lord. It may have a great connection with Cao Cao's attack on Qingzhou. Although there is no evidence yet, I guess that Cao Cao must have solved the food crisis from Jingzhou and Jiangdong."

Pang Tongtong simply finished the content of the intelligence, and gave his own guess.A large number of grain and grass were mobilized in Jingzhou, and there seemed to be a situation of grain and grass transportation in Jiangdong. All of this was unreasonable.
