Han counter current

"Well, the matter is settled like this. Apart from the training of the elite troops, the rest of the soldiers will also participate in the work of assisting the people in building houses. There is no need to delay this matter."

"No, this subordinate,,,,,,"

"Report, my lord, the riverside emergency report,,,,,,"

Chen Feng and Li Ru wanted to discuss something, but in the end, the soldier's report interrupted their train of thought. At this time, there was still an urgent report, and it was from Hejian, which was unusual.

"Could it be that Yuan Shang?"

Seeing Chen Feng's face change, Li Ru guessed that this urgent report was related to Yuan Shang from Jizhou.In Hejian, only Yuan Shang's troops could pose a threat to his side.

"This Yuan Shang, the timing of the choice is really good. It seems that he is determined to fight me to the death."

Chen Feng nodded, then sneered again.It is not a matter of a day or two for Yuan Shang to fight him to the death, this time, it is reasonable.

However, Yuan Shang has been silent for the past two months, but now that it has entered autumn, this guy actually made a move.

"This is not surprising. My lord, don't think that Yuan Shang can't use troops in autumn and winter. On the contrary, under the current situation, autumn and winter are the most suitable time for Yuan Shang to send troops."

Li Ru also smiled, and when he met an opponent like Yuan Shang, he would only be offended.

“How come you see?”

"Our army has just taken the Hetao. After the war, the soldiers are exhausted and lack of supplies. In addition, the Lord has just migrated a large number of people to the Hetao, and the stored food and grass are even more insufficient.

Under such circumstances, can the lord still form an army to counterattack?In addition, the grassland snowed earlier, and after the heavy snow blocked the road, it was difficult for our soldiers to go to Hejian to fight.

Therefore, Yuan Shang only needs to concentrate his soldiers and horses to storm the land of Hejian, and it will be difficult for our army to defend for a long time.In this way, how can he be invincible. "

Li Ru's explanation was very reasonable. Although it was only a few sentences, it summarized the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and ourselves. Yuan Shang's timing was really good.

"Really, Yuan Shang, when did he become so capable? This doesn't match his style. Or, this guy's ambition has skyrocketed a lot."

Hearing Li Ru's explanation, Chen Feng also frowned. If what Li Ru said was true, then this matter would be much more troublesome.

"If Yuan Shang really came up with it, it would be much simpler. If you are afraid, there are others behind Yuan Shang."

Li Ru took a meaningful look at the sand table in the big tent, and then stroked his beard again, with a look of worry on his brows.

"You mean? Cao Cao?"

"Besides him, who else? I am afraid that only he can give Yuan Shang the confidence to attack Hejian. My lord, this battle may not be so simple."

"Could it be that this is Cao Cao, preparing for the flattening of Hebei?"

"It is very likely that it has been several months since Cao Cao took Xiliang. The newly recruited cavalry is probably almost formed.

Of course, the land of Xiliang has become a burden for Cao Cao, but in a short period of time, it will not have much impact. On the contrary, Cao Cao has tens of thousands of cavalry, which is enough to cross Hebei. "

Li Ru's explanation directly clarified the current situation.After all, Cao Cao is still the best in this world.

"We can't sit still. Since Yuan Shang dares to attack, then I will defend. Just in time, I can use these battles to train our newly recruited infantry.

With Wenhe in Youzhou, it seems that there won't be any big problems.It's just that there is another Cao Cao behind this scene, which is really difficult to deal with. "

As soon as Cao Cao was mentioned, Chen Feng felt a little apprehensive in his heart. Such a hero in troubled times is indeed difficult to deal with.

"No matter how much it is, before the heavy snow falls, our army should go south immediately. Come, tell Gongsun Xu, and the white army will gather immediately."

The current situation is indeed a bit unclear.Yuan Shang was attacking, Cao Cao was hiding behind, and Yuan Tan in Qingzhou didn't respond at all. These situations made Chen Feng puzzled.

However, since the war has started, it is time to fight well.He really can't afford to fight a big battle, but he can still handle a small-scale war.

There is Jia Xu in Youzhou, and now Gongsun Xu will be sent there, coupled with the newly formed elite regiment of the White Army, this battle should not be too difficult.

Instead of guessing here, it's better to do a few real fights, anyway, Chen Feng has no other choice.

Chapter 437 The Situation in Hebei 1

After receiving Chen Feng's order, within the shortest possible time, Gongsun Xu led more than [-] people from the White Army to go south and head straight for Hejian.

To be honest, the Stepbai Army has not yet been formed and has not been fully recruited. At present, it has only recruited [-] cavalry. As for the combat effectiveness, it needs to be improved.

According to the original plan, there should be thousands of elite infantry, but it is indeed a bit unreliable to recruit infantry on the grassland.

Coincidentally, war broke out now, and Youzhou, Hejian and other places had also recruited many new recruits before. Gongsun Xu planned to use this opportunity to make up for the remaining troops of the White Army in Hejian.

"Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang, I was waiting for you to make a move. My lord finally gave me this opportunity, and I will definitely have a good fight with you."

As the commander-in-chief of the Stepping White Army, as an elite corps second only to the Ghost Face Army, whether it is Gongsun Xu or the soldiers under his command, they all want to use this opportunity to become famous.

In addition, the hatred between the Gongsun family and the Yuan family has already reached the point of endless death.With such a good opportunity, Gongsun Xu definitely didn't want to miss it.

Other than that, Chen Feng didn't send other troops south, not even a few generals.

The rest of the generals, such as Zhang He, Zhao Yun, Ma Dai, Pound, etc., seem to have been left idle.Each of these fierce generals only led thousands of cavalry, and they didn't know where to hide and patrol.

Could it be that because of the Northern Expedition, Chen Feng's soldiers and horses and food were consumed so badly that when Yuan Shang invaded, he couldn't mobilize more soldiers and horses to support the rear.

What is the truth, perhaps only Chen Feng knows best.It's just that the information received by other princes is almost the same.

In Qingzhou, Yuan Tan has not been idle recently.After the autumn harvest, his army gathered again, which was his habit, not necessarily for the purpose of attacking anyone, at least, so that he could guard against possible wars at any time.

"My lord, someone brought it."

In the hall, Yuan Tan was enjoying the performances of the singers. Beside him, Guo Tu also watched these beauties twist their waists happily.

These singers are all the most beautiful and attractive group in Qingzhou.Normally, Yuan Tan took care of them, and whenever he was in a good mood, he would let these singers use their bodies to please him.

"See Master State Shepherd,,,,,,"

An ugly, short young man walked in. After seeing Yuan Tan and Guo Tu, he saluted respectfully.

Surprisingly, Yuan Tan didn't seem to want to talk to him, and it seemed that he didn't hear the young man's words.Perhaps, those singers were so attractive that Yuan Tan's attention was all on them.

"See Master State Shepherd,,,,,,"

After waiting for a few breaths, the young man raised his voice and said it again.This time, his voice overwhelmed the sound of musical instruments in the hall.

"Oh, you, are you Chen Feng's emissary? Is Chen Feng doing so badly now? Why did you send such an unknown person here.

Why, this guy, if you don't have a good time herding sheep on the grassland, why come to me if you have nothing to do?Oh, by the way, I remembered, my younger brother is now fighting him to the death.

Could it be that the right general couldn't bear it?Hehe, if this is the case, it would be fun. "

Yuan Tan's face was full of ridicule.He always dismissed the envoys sent by Chen Feng, let alone this ugly young man in front of him.

"Lord Zhou Mu is joking. My lord sent me here just to say hello to Master Zhou Mu. At the same time, he also told me to increase trade with Qingzhou."
