Han counter current

Until two days ago, Zhang Liao led [-] elite troops from the headquarters, plus [-] Qin cavalry from the north, and defeated several troops of the Xianbei army one after another.

Then Chen Feng led an army of [-] ghost faces and [-] servants from Yuyang to attack without saying hello, and those Xianbei troops who stepped into the interior of Youzhou were slaughtered one after another.

In this way, Chen Feng transferred most of the combatable soldiers in his hands to the northern part of Youzhou. After the invading Xianbei people were dealt with, they became the local official army. After that, no one could ask them to leave .

Because Zhao Yun and his group came from Changshan, and the trip was delayed in order to summon the old department these days, they did not know the changes in the outside world.

Now, most of the territory in Youzhou has fallen into the hands of Chen Feng, and the Xianbei cavalry who invaded Youzhou are in the stage of being hunted down.The reversal of the situation so quickly is beyond the expectations of the world.

"Before the snow covers the grassland, our mission is to drive the Xianbei cavalry out of Youzhou. Otherwise, we will have to continue fighting the Hu people in the cold winter. If the Hu people don't retreat, the battle will never end."

On the hillside, Chen Feng was riding a war horse with a whip in his hand. He was full of anger and looked murderous.

"From now on, this Youzhou is our territory, not to mention barbarians, even if Cao Cao comes.

Gongming, are you always complaining to me that you were not allowed to attack the grassland? Now that the Xianbei army is coming to your door to beat you up, can you miss it?

I will give you two thousand elite troops and four thousand servants, and you will find a way to clean up those small groups of Xianbei cavalry that entered Youzhou.

When it's cleaned up, let's talk about how to attack the grassland. If you can't do it before winter comes, then you can spend the winter in the wild. "

"The last general takes orders, my lord, if I clean up those..."

"Then we will discuss in advance about letting you lead the army to attack the grassland."

"No, thank you, my lord, at the end."

After occupying Youbeiping and Yuyang, soldiers and material resources from western Liaoning continued to flow into other parts of Youzhou. Now Shanggu and Daijun, which were most severely ravaged by the Hu people, gradually fell into Chen Feng's hands.

The arrival of the Liaoxi army brought hope to the local people, and at the same time, it also brought despair to the invading Hu people.

In Jizhou, the Yuan brothers attacked again. This time it was still Yuan Tan who attacked and Yuan Shang who defended.These two people are really brothers, and they have a tacit understanding in everything they do.

Yuan Shang, who voluntarily gave up the city of Youzhou, has gathered enough troops. In a short period of time, it is impossible for Yuan Tan to take advantage of him.However, Yuan Tan's attack target was not this place.

In Bingzhou, the Xiongnu cavalry was raging in the Taiyuan area, and the local defenders could only rely on the city for defense. They could do nothing for the people outside the city.

Many Hun cavalry broke into villages, burned, killed and looted, and many Han people were murdered.Facing the iron cavalry and scimitars of the Huns, what can the Han people use to resist them?

Some Xiongnu cavalry even shifted their targets to the direction of Yanmen Pass. After all, as long as they can break through Yanmen Pass, the grassland cavalry can drive straight in.

It's a pity that they forgot that it was Chen Feng's important generals who guarded Yanmen, and compared with a year ago, Yanmen Pass now has sufficient supplies, full of food and grass, and full of troops.

Without any suspense, the Xiongnu cavalry suffered a great loss at Yanmen Pass. Although Gao Lan did not make much noise in the past half a year, Yanmen Pass was managed by him in an orderly manner.

The local soldiers had to train every day. They were full of food and warm clothes. They had long wanted to make contributions. Now, they had prepared everything in order to deal with the Hu people who went south in autumn.

"According to the intelligence of the scouts, there is still a group of Xianbei cavalry entrenched here, about tens of thousands of them. They have been entrenched here for a long time, and their intentions are unknown."

Inside the big tent, Zhang Liao pointed to the junction of Daijun and Yanmen on the map and said: "The geographical location of this place is too important, we have to pay attention to it.

These tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry must not be kept. I have already contacted Gao Lan. He sent [-] troops from Yanmen, and I sent [-] troops from here to wipe out this enemy army together. "

"There are still many small groups of Xianbei cavalry in Daijun, and we still have the important task of guarding Daijun, so we must allocate some troops."

Cao Xing has no objection to Zhang Liao's decision, but Daijun still has a lot of tasks to do.

"Deployed 2000 elite troops from our army to cooperate with the local people and the bravery of the village, and divided them into several small units, and used small groups against small groups to hunt down and kill these Xianbei cavalry."

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "The task of guarding Daijun will be entrusted to you for the time being, Cao Xing. I will be back in ten days at most."

"I understand, don't worry, with me here, Daijun can be safe and secure, unless,,,,,,"

"No unless, if you really have a problem, ask the lord for help directly. The lord is now sitting in Shanggu, and the barbarians dare not go south. We will take care of the lord."

"Understood, this is the lord's Youzhou, how dare the barbarians go south..."

Cao Xing's eyes were extraordinarily firm. It seemed that he didn't intend to let others touch Youzhou again.

Chapter 199 Countermeasures 1

In Xudu, in Cao Cao's mansion, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others are analyzing intelligence from all over the country for Cao Cao, so as to prepare for the next year's war.

"Han Sui and Ma Teng in Xiliang are extremely restless. Presumably, if they can't be dealt with as soon as possible, Xiliang will become a serious problem for our army."

Guo Jia took the information and analyzed: "Both of these two are capable heroes, although they have enmity, but they can endure cooperation, they will definitely be our army's great enemies in the future.

Ma Teng is brave and has a high prestige in the eyes of the Qiang people. His influence in Xiliang can be described as intricate.

Han Sui, known as the Yellow River of Jiuqu, was extremely resourceful, and he was able to transform from a hijacked puppet to a great prince now because of his ability to calculate others.

My lord, the previous strategic goal of our army was to take Hebei first, then attack Chang'an, and then take Xiliang. Now it seems that we need to shift our focus.

If not, our army will fall into the quagmire of war and cannot extricate itself, just like this year's battle of Xuzhou, where so much material and manpower were wasted, it was just to suppress Zang Ba and Liu Bei.

Although our army will be able to win after the spring of next year, we have already wasted a year. Moreover, it is useless for Xuzhou now, so it is better to wait another year. "

Facing Guo Jia's direct evaluation, Cao Cao didn't show any reaction on his face. He just nodded silently, and at the same time, he was constantly thinking about the next plan in his mind.

This is where Cao Cao is different from other princes. As long as he made a mistake and was pointed out by others, he would reflect on it, even if these mistakes would put him in an embarrassing situation and make him lose face.

He is willing to reflect, and he is willing to correct his shortcomings. This is the most important reason why he can become stronger step by step.

After reflection, he will change the method and strive to do better next time.Of course, it is impossible for him to admit his mistakes, or take the initiative to admit his mistakes.

"Attack Xiliang, obtain Xiliang horses and athletes, and prepare for our army to form a large-scale cavalry. How can we lose cavalry in the north?"

Cao Cao finally made up his mind: "However, the war in Hebei cannot be stopped, and the war in Xuzhou is about to end. Sending a major general and leading [-] troops will settle the situation.

After the spring plowing next year, I will lead the main force to attack Chang'an first, wipe out the remnants of the Xiliang army, then surrender the remnants of the Baibo bandits, and finally take Xiliang directly. "

"That's right, the Yuan brothers in Hebei are purely dead, occupying such a wealthy territory but unable to develop themselves. Up to now, they only know how to kill each other. There will be no results in two or three years."

Xun Yu nodded and replied, "However, our army has to solve the food crisis. Since we can't take the rich Jizhou for the time being, we must take the fertile Hedong and other places."

"Good, as it should be."

Cao Cao really needs a piece of fertile land to supply and demand his military rations. Although he has ordered his subordinates to implement military settlements, the food production in this era is not high.

Coupled with the relatively backward farming methods, unless there is fertile land, the food generally produced is far from enough for one's own needs. The land in the east of the river has always been fertile, and Cao Cao must win it.

"The Yuan brothers are nothing to worry about, but Chen Feng from Liaoxi has to."

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes, as if thinking of his enemy.

"This Chen Feng has been able to survive until now relying on the bitter cold land, and this time when the Xianbei army went south to attack Youzhou, it also expanded its territory. The timing is really good.

Recovering Daijun, Shanggu and other places occupied by the Xianbei army in one fell swoop is due to Sheji. If His Majesty does not reward it, it is really unreasonable. If it is rewarded, then Chen Feng's strength will increase a lot. "
