Han counter current

"Hmph, I have to guard against it. By the way, what is Gongsun Xu in Liaodong doing?"

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao asked, "Liaodong is adjacent to the grassland. Didn't Gongsun Xu think about taking back Youzhou?"

"It's difficult, not to mention the bitter cold in Liaodong, insufficient food and supplies, and a small number of troops."

Xun Yu shook his head and replied: "Gongsun Xu wants to go back to Youzhou and must go through the territory of Liaoxi, how can Chen Feng be so kind, even if Chen Feng verbally agrees to let him pass, does Gongsun Xu dare to go through?

Furthermore, the reason why our alienation plan didn't have much effect before is because Gongsun Xu didn't dare to confront Chen Feng directly, and his strength is not enough to confront Chen Feng head-on.

Once the two of them tear their faces apart, Chen Feng will definitely block all caravans and supplies going to Liaodong. Moreover, Chen Feng seems to have contacted many grassland tribes, and vaguely completed the siege of Gongsun Xu. In addition, according to reports from spies, San Han There is a faint intention to attack Liaodong in the area.

Our military spies are now entering the land of Sanhan in accordance with the law. Lelang, Daifang and other places are heavily guarded. The Hu people in the north often gather troops.

It might be very difficult to rely on him to restrain Chen Feng, at least it is impossible right now.Unless our army can directly give him some help, or restrain some of Chen Feng's troops. "

"Even, there is a possibility that Chen Feng and Gongsun Xu have an inexplicable feud. Perhaps, the two of them are not as incompatible as we seem."

Guo Jia vaguely felt that there was such a possibility, but he couldn't be sure.

"In the face of sufficient benefits, I don't believe that they will have any tricks. With enough benefits, these tricks can also be resolved."

Cao Cao sneered and said, "Feng Xiao, Wen Ruo, even if there is a trick between Gongsun Xu and Chen Feng, what do you think is the prerequisite for the existence of this trick.

Hmph, I can guarantee it's interests, apart from interests, they have no other reason to come together. "

"What does my lord mean?"

"Reward, these two people have contributed to guarding the frontier, so they should be rewarded."

Cao Cao sneered and said: "Chen Feng has made great contributions in expelling the Hu people from Xianbei, and regaining Youzhou is a great contribution, how can we not reward him. He was named General Zhendong and guarded Liaodong, Liaoxi and other places.

Gongsun Xu has made great achievements in defending against Sanhan and the Hu people in the north, and is the eldest son of Gongsun Zan. Now it is time to go back to his hometown and make Gongsun Xu General Anbei to guard Youzhou.

In addition, Yuan Shang was cowardly and cowardly. Facing the Xianbei Hu people, he took the initiative to back down, abandoning the cities and passes in Youzhou, and making the people of Li suffer. What qualifications do such villains have to guard Hebei.

Deprive him of the title of Marquis of Ye and order him to guard Bingzhou. If he dares to disobey the order of the court, he will be a rebel, and other princes can lead troops to attack him. "

"Of course Yuan Shang will not obey, but with this order, the reputation of the Yuan family in Hebei will definitely be extremely bad."

Guo Jia nodded and said with a smile: "The territory of Gongsun's family is in Youzhou. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to guarantee that Gongsun Xu will not have other thoughts. Even if Chen Feng is unwilling, the gap between the two has already been buried. My lord is brilliant."

"It's a good move if it works. If it doesn't work, then we have to figure out a way. Come on, let's discuss next year's plan..."

No matter who Cao Cao is, he can understand the contradictions of those people in the north in a few words. Next, he will attack the contradictions of the other party.

Chapter 200 Countermeasures 2

In the crisp autumn season, it was supposed to be the time to harvest grain and drive livestock back to the camp, but the Xianbei people went south, breaking the peace in the north.

In Yuyang territory, teams of well-equipped cavalry galloped past, and infantry marching from Youbeiping quickly entered various pass defenses.

In the face of this sudden war, Chen Feng's regular army and reserve team strategy designated last year had good results.

Those who are responsible for attacking and suppressing the remnants of the enemy are all elite soldiers. Although there are injuries after each battle, they can be replenished in time. Therefore, what the enemy army will see will be a steady stream of Youzhou Han troops.

Those in charge of defending the pass are all reserve troops who have undergone military training and have certain combat experience.With them, the city pass can be safe and secure, and after going through a few battles, they can quickly transform into qualified veterans.

Coupled with the local young and strong, each has a division of labor, and can assist each other, the work efficiency will be much higher, so that Youzhou can be guaranteed to be safe.

"The remnant enemies in Shanggu and Daijun should be wiped out."

Looking at the battle reports from various places, Chen Feng analyzed methodically: "Bo Yan, what do you think about the next plan?"

Lu Xun has now become Chen Feng's accompanying think tank. Jia Xu is older and has other tasks, so he can only stay in Liaoxi.

Shen Xuan and Sheng Xian have their own missions, and what they are best at is not military, so Chen Feng can only bring Lu Xun by his side to ask for advice.

"Stick to Youzhou, send a small group of cavalry to harass the enemy's rear, burn their pasture, slaughter their livestock, and prepare for our army's winter counterattack."

Lu Xun said bluntly: "In addition, according to the report of the spies, the commander of the Xianbei coalition this time is King Helian of Xianbei.

Judging from his past behavior and all kinds of information, this person has great ambitions and talents, and likes to enjoy himself. Most of the time he went south to attack Youzhou was bewitched by Yuan Tan.

Hmph, this kind of person must not give him a good face, otherwise, he will definitely make progress, if he sees that Youzhou is difficult to capture, he will probably have the idea of ​​retreating.

In the final analysis, the time for the Xianbei army to fight was not long. If they could not cross the northern pass before the heavy snow came, then they had no choice but to retreat.

Now that Youzhou is under the control of our army, the benefits that Yuan Tan promised him can only be transferred from Bingzhou. However, General Gao is guarding Yanmen, so it is impossible to give him this opportunity.

If these materials were transferred from Taiyuan and other places to the Xianbei army, I am afraid that the Xiongnu army would probably not agree after seeing them.

In short, after our army occupied Youzhou, it completely disrupted Yuan Tan's plan to join forces with Xianbei and the Huns. Moreover, this alliance is completely connected by interests. Now that Xianbei has not received any benefits, this alliance will probably collapse. "

"That being said, interests are indeed the starting point for them to join forces, but the difficulties we are facing now are not small."

Chen Feng pointed to the map and analyzed: "Yuan Shang in Jizhou will not be our enemy for the time being, but the Xianbei army in the north has assembled nearly 13 cavalry. Although Helian is not capable, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be angry. Attack Youzhou by storm.

Its vanguard was severely damaged by our army, with a loss of tens of thousands, but Helian's main force would arrive in the Shanggu area in about ten days.

Besides, our defense line in Youzhou is too long. If the Xianbei army sends troops to attack Youbeiping, Yuyang, Shanggu, Daijun and other places, our army will be exhausted. "

"Look, my lord, this is the area of ​​the Great Wall, the fortifications are strong, and Yuan Shang voluntarily gave up before, which led to the Xianbei forward part of the army rushing straight in.

Since ancient times, facing the Hu people in the north, the children of the Han family will adopt the strategy of defending the city if they are not strong enough.

Even defending the city can't stop the enemy's footsteps, but at least, if the enemy wants to take the city, they have to pay the price, not to mention that the barbarians are not good at attacking the city. "

Lu Xun has thoroughly studied the terrain of Youzhou: "If the Hu people want to go south, they have to carry a lot of supplies, and at the same time they have to cross the defense line of the Great Wall.

We can't wait for the enemy to enter the Great Wall before deploying our defenses. Based on the humble opinion of our subordinates, we stick to the Great Wall and show our determination to fight to the death.

At the same time, a small group of cavalry was dispatched from Liaoxi, Liaodong, Yanmen and other places to detour to the rear of the enemy to burn, kill and loot.Contact the Qin tribe and other grassland tribes that have an alliance with our army, and let them participate in the harassment of the invading Xianbei tribe.

This can cause instability in the enemy's rear, and at the same time, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and burn all pastures and forests north of the Great Wall defense line.

All the villages and people were relocated, leaving no grain or pasture for the Xianbei people.Then, the lord can issue an order to call on the people of Youyan to join the war.

The land of Youyan has been full of generous and tragic people since ancient times. When the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, how can the local hot-blooded men tolerate the barbarian's rampage.

As long as the lord's order is issued, and the officers and soldiers from all over the country can provide some food and equipment, and at the same time take care of the wounded and healthy, hehe, the barbarians are nothing to be afraid of.

With these local athletes here, the small group of Xianbei cavalry who sneaked into the hinterland of our Youzhou will surely suffer disaster.In this way, our army can save a lot of trouble.”

"There is at most one and a half months before the heavy snow falls. As long as there is heavy snowfall, this battle will be much easier. Hmph, I will wait."

Chen Feng made up his mind and said: "Come here, pass on my commander's order, order Xu Huang to rectify the troops, immediately rush to the Great Wall to deploy defenses, and order Zhang Liaoqing to go to the Great Wall to support after suppressing the remnants of the enemy.

After completing the task, Gao Lan was ordered to find an opportunity to attack the enemy's rear, called on all the people in Youzhou to join the battle, and dispatched some veterans to guide the local athletes to wipe out small groups of enemy troops.
