Han counter current

"What?" Yuan Tan turned around and asked, "But he has no combat achievements at all?"

Guo Tu continued to shake his head and smiled, "There is no merit in battle, but it is also merit, at least, the high-ranking officials still have [-] troops in their hands.

He is the main force in his hands. Chen Feng has only had more than 2 people in his hands until now. Our advantage has always been there.

Moreover, so what if Chen Feng always wins the battle?It's just grudges with Cao Cao, it's just consuming your own strength.

The army of high-ranking officials has not been lost.This is the brilliance of Gao Gan. He can see the situation clearly and knows what to do. Therefore, there is no need for us to replace Gao Gan on the front line. No one is more suitable than him. "

After being told by Guo Tu, Yuan Tan seemed to have thought about it a little bit more clearly. It was indeed the case, and there were still [-] high-ranking officials in the army.

Food, grass and military equipment are sufficient, enough to fight Cao Cao, but Chen Feng has few soldiers, and the situation has not changed.

After thinking about it, Yuan Tan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, why am I in a daze. Then what should we do now?"

Guo Tu glanced at Yuan Tan, then said with a sinister smile, "It's very simple, cut off his food."

"But, didn't we promise not to do this kind of thing last time?" Yuan Tan questioned.

"Really?" Guo Tu replied: "It seems that we have never done it, it's just the Black Mountain Army, how could it be us, this time, it is the Black Mountain Army."

Yuan Tan nodded as if he had realized something, and he seemed to understand something in his heart.

While they were plotting against Chen Feng, Chen Feng was also working hard to develop his own strength.No one is willing to let go of the opportunity to develop themselves, especially someone like Chen Feng who lacks time and background.

A few days ago, Chen Feng had told Jia Xu about his plan, and one of the steps was to seize Bingzhou, which was also a key step for Chen Feng to strive for world hegemony.

Of course, Chen Feng understood that he could not rely on a mere Li Yang as his rear, not to mention that this Li Yang was located at the junction of two major forces and was extremely vulnerable to attack.

At present, the two main leaders of Bingzhou have been transferred away, the high-ranking cadres are in command of the army at the front, and Yuan Xi is in charge of affairs in Jizhou City. This is the best time for Chen Feng.

Last time, Chen Feng specifically asked Yuan Shang to add more horses, and he also asked to send people to the place where Bingzhou and the grassland meet to recruit two or three thousand cavalry.

Yuan Shang was in a state of excitement at the time, and Chen Feng's request was not too much, and the number of soldiers he recruited was only two to three thousand, so Yuan Shang readily agreed.

Going to the grassland to recruit cavalry does not actually cost much food.There is no way, this place is too poor, and there are many people who cannot afford to eat. As long as they provide some food, many desperadoes are willing to sell their wealth and lives.

This time it was Gao Lan who was in charge of recruiting soldiers, accompanied by Yan Cheng, Wen Meng and more than 70 outstanding young men.

Chen Feng had Yuan Shang's warrant, so Gao Lan's work in Bingzhou was not hindered much.After all, this Bingzhou still belongs to Yuan Shang in name, and those local officials naturally dare not embarrass them.

Yuan Tan also unexpectedly did not intervene this time. After all, as long as Yuan Shang does not transfer troops from Bingzhou, everything will be fine.

Otherwise, if Yuan Tan refused even this request to recruit temporary soldiers, Yuan Shang would have even more excuses to transfer troops from Bingzhou.At that time, he couldn't justify trying to stop him.

Chen Feng attaches great importance to Gao Lan's mission this time, because it is related to how far he can go.

If Chen Feng could not win Bingzhou or secretly control Bingzhou before the end of this war, Chen Feng would not have the capital to gain a foothold in the north.

At that time, even if the Yuan brothers were fighting internally or fighting each other, Chen Feng would only be a subordinate of one of them, and he might become a victim of the internal fighting between the two brothers.

Chen Feng knew that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang had many advisors, like Yuan Tan's Guo Tu and others, and Yuan Shang's Feng Ji, all of them were extremely intelligent.

It's just that they are now focusing on the internal fighting and the war with Cao Cao, so they don't take Chen Feng's side into account.

Once they stopped or had enough time to think, Chen Feng's intentions and plots would be fully exposed.

At that time, what Chen Feng will have to face is the siege of all the princes in the north. Under such circumstances, no matter how powerful Chen Feng is, he has no hope of turning over.

Therefore, he seems to be racing against time now. He wants to determine his own territory before the end of this war, and he also needs to expand the army as much as possible.

The soldiers in Liyang City already have a certain sense of belonging to themselves, but this sense of belonging is difficult to increase now, just because Chen Feng is just a general now.

Chen Feng can only give these soldiers rewards such as money and food, which is not enough for ordinary soldiers.

What they need is land. With land, there will be a steady stream of food. Therefore, Chen Feng must have his own territory.

The common people in this era don't have high demands, and the low-level soldiers don't have high demands. As long as Chen Feng can satisfy them, these soldiers and common people will definitely be willing to follow him.You know, back then, Zhang Jiao just chanted a few slogans, and hundreds of thousands of people followed him in rebellion.

After careful consideration, Chen Feng asked Gao Lan to take away [-] cavalry, which made the small number of cavalry in the city even more insufficient.

In the last battle with Cao Cao, although Chen Feng's side won a big victory, Chen Feng's cavalry was retaliated by Tiger and Leopard Cavalry later.

The tiger and leopard cavalry's individual combat ability is far superior to that of Chen Feng's cavalry, not to mention that the tiger and leopard cavalry are best at coordinated combat.

If it hadn't been for the chaos in Cao's army and Cao Cao's eagerness to escape, those two thousand tiger and leopard riders could have blocked Chen Feng. At that time, Chen Feng also realized that the tiger and leopard riders were difficult to deal with, so he ordered the retreat in time.

Chen Feng knew that the cavalry on his side only took advantage of the saddles and horseshoes, which only made the cavalry more stable on the horse.

However, the cavalry's ability to sprint and fight on the horse, as well as their personal bravery and cooperative combat ability cannot be developed overnight. Chen Feng's cavalry still needs to grow.

No sweat, no gain.In this world, there has never been anything that can be rewarded without giving.The same is true for the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Only when they practice enough in normal times can they defeat the enemy and protect themselves on the battlefield.

He thought it over clearly, now he must try to preserve his strength no matter what, Cao Cao's cavalry are best at fighting and close combat.

On the contrary, his cavalry were good at riding and shooting and throwing spears. If possible, Chen Feng really hoped not to get close to Cao Cao's cavalry.

There are still [-] cavalry in the city, and Chen Feng pays more attention to the training of the rest of them. Instead of practicing hard fighting skills, it is better to practice cavalry and shooting to the best now. The use of cavalry is ever-changing, it depends. The cavalry commander's ability.

During the discussion with Zhang He in the past few days, Chen Feng came to a conclusion that his cavalry could be used for chasing, intercepting, riding and shooting, etc., but they must not participate in fighting.

"Cavalry, cavalry, I suddenly thought of someone, hehe,,,,,,"

Chen Feng suddenly remembered that when Chu and Han were fighting each other, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, used cavalry to drive and intercept the enemy. At that time, cavalry was not suitable for charging.

It was only then that Chen Feng understood why many people in later generations called Xiang Yu the ancestor of the cavalry. In the Central Plains, Xiang Yu was indeed the ancestor of the cavalry.

And now Chen Feng wants to inherit Xiang Yu's combat style and maximize the advantages of his own cavalry.

On Cao Cao's side, although there was a big defeat last time, it didn't affect Cao Cao's mood at all. What Cao Cao lost in the last big defeat was only some cavalry that he hastily formed in the past six months.

Cao Cao still had [-] cavalry behind him, and although he was defeated this time, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry did not suffer much loss.

This was also due to Chen Feng's timely withdrawal of troops. Some soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry separated immediately after fighting with Chen Feng's cavalry, but most of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry broke up at that time.

Cao Cao also mistakenly thought that the tiger and leopard cavalry had also suffered a devastating blow. However, a few days later, most of the tiger and leopard cavalry returned, and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry still had more than 700 people. Not a big defeat.

But now, Cao Cao had a deep understanding of Chen Feng, and he would never make such a low-level mistake again.Take high-ranking officials first, and then attack Liyang.This is Cao Cao's current strategy. Can Chen Feng be able to resist Cao Cao?

Chapter 37 All in Layout 1

Cao Cao has been preparing at Guandu for nearly two months. Due to previous strategic issues, he has been entangled with Chen Feng. Now, after Cao Cao re-established his strategy, he decided to get some interest from Gao Gan first.

In order to cope with Chen Feng's cavalry, Cao Cao reorganized the cavalry in time.It is said to be formed, but in fact it is to organize the group of defeated soldiers again, and at the same time recruit elite soldiers from the army to supplement them.

This is Cao Cao's advantage, he is not afraid of failure, nor is he afraid of being defeated by others.Although Chen Feng was so arrogant last time, he did not cause any substantial harm to Cao Cao. The gap between the two was too great.

Then, Cao Cao dispatched another [-] cavalry from the rear, and the commander of this cavalry was the surrendered general Zhang Liao.Fighting in the north, the cavalry and the generals who are good at commanding the cavalry will definitely be reused. Zhang Liao, now is his chance.
