Han counter current

Although his face was a little pale, Guo Jia was in good spirits.During the period of recuperating in the rear, he was not idle.

There are many things involved in this trip to the north. In particular, too many difficulties need to be overcome in order to achieve the goal of unifying Hebei.

The Yuan brothers, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei in the north are all obstacles.

Liu Biao, Zhang Lu in the south, and Han Sui in the west also had to consider it. Fortunately, this time, Chen Feng had no chance to participate.

It can be said that this time, Cao Cao wanted to single out the heroes of Hebei with the strength of his family, and Liu Bei, who was at the forefront, naturally became the first unlucky ghost.

Soon, in Liu Bei's eager anticipation, the other cities in the south of Xuzhou were finally captured.

For this northward march, Cao Cao didn't just use the army.The secret work has long penetrated into the territory of Xuzhou, and most of the local aristocratic families secretly took refuge in Cao Cao.

This is also the main reason why Xia Houyuan and the others were able to take down so many cities so quickly. If the local aristocratic families were willing to persist, Cao Jun would not be able to go so smoothly.

"It's ridiculous, this Liu Bei has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, but he has no real talent and learning. He has occupied Xuzhou for so long, and he has been squeezed too hard in the local area.

Not only did the local aristocratic family lose their money, but it also made the local people miserable. If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't be able to easily convince the local aristocratic family. "

A few days later, when Cao Cao led his army close to the border of Xuzhou, Xia Houyuan's battle report had already come.At this time, Xia Houyuan was leading more than [-] elite troops to move closer to Cao Zhang, except that some soldiers and horses were left to guard important cities.

"Report, please report to my lord, Yuan Tan of Qingzhou sent someone to ask for an interview."

"Hmph, the Yuan family are all useless, see you."

When Yuan Shao was there, Cao Cao was at an absolute disadvantage, but even in that situation, he still looked down on Yuan Shao.

Now, Yuan Shao's two useless sons really take themselves seriously.But I don't want to be played by Cao Cao all the time. This is Cao Cao, how can I look down on them.

"Report, my lord, General Cao Zhang is here to report. The defenders of Pengcheng dare not leave the city. Our army can attack at any time."

"Attack? No, there is no need to attack for the time being. Just send an order to Ziwen to besiege Pengcheng. After Miaocai arrives, Miaocai will take full command of the frontline battle."

"Report, Zang Ba in the north is gathering soldiers and horses, and there seems to be signs of going south."

"Zang Ba? Hmph, what I'm afraid of is that he won't dare to come. Let's check again."

,,,,,,

One message after another reached Cao Cao, and he responded accordingly.Leading [-] elites personally, Cao Cao at this moment already has the strength to despise the heroes.

In Qingzhou, Yuan Tan was running around in a hurry in the hall. The battle in Xuzhou had already reached his side. Liu Bei's performance was even worse than he had imagined.

He really couldn't figure out how Liu Bei could lose so much land in such a short period of time. Up to now, there is only one Pengcheng left.

"How could this happen? It's only been half a month. Liu Bei, how could Liu Bei be so incompetent? How could it be?"

"My lord, it's useless to be anxious now, Cao's army is [-] elite, we must find a way to resist it.

Liu Bei has never been Cao Cao's opponent. This time, Cao Cao may have planned for a long time, and the siege of the city came second. What he wants is probably the whole of Hebei. "

At this juncture, Guo Tu did not panic.Of course, even if he panicked, it wouldn't help.

"Report to Mr. Zhou Mu, Mr. Pang Tong, please see,,,,,,"

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's finally here, Chen Feng finally has news."

At this moment, Yuan Tan didn't know that Chen Feng, whom he had always regarded as an enemy, could bring him such great comfort.

"Grassman Pang Tong, see you,,,,,,"

"Please hurry up, Mr. Pang, you are here. You must have heard about the battle in Xuzhou. I don't know, what does the right general mean?"

At this moment, Yuan Tan has long since lost his former arrogance. Cao Cao is about to call him, and he really can't calm down.

"For an alliance, my lord is in Hetao and cannot get back. However, he sent his own soldiers to send back orders. Only an alliance in Hebei can resist Cao Cao."

"Alliance,,,,,,"

When Yuan Tan was talking to himself, Guo Tu nodded slightly. It seemed that he also agreed with this method. Facing Cao Cao, no prince dared to say that he had the strength to fight alone.

Forming an alliance is their only choice.But, at this juncture, is there still time?

Chapter 444: The Hero’s Means 2

Not to mention how panicked Yuan Tan was at the moment, within half a month, information about the Xuzhou war quickly spread to the ears of other princes in the world.

The limelight of Chen Feng's Northern Expedition to Hetao was successfully robbed by Cao Cao. As the hero of the world, Cao Cao once again proved with facts that in this world, he is the protagonist.

Where he is, no matter how good other people perform, they are not enough to shock and attract him. Cao Cao is the master of this era.

Within half a month, more than [-] soldiers of Cao's army entered Xuzhou, leaving Liu Bei with only one Pengcheng. Such a record made other princes panic.

"Hurry up, gather troops, gather troops, I don't know how long Liu Bei can last, if Liu Bei is finished, I will be next, Cao Cao, after all, he is here."

Zang Ba, who was dispatching troops and generals in the camp, was already panicking.He really didn't have the guts to fight against Cao Cao.

In particular, Cao Jun's [-] tiger and wolf divisions can kill Liu Bei's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which proves that Cao Jun's combat effectiveness is unimaginably strong.

As the second front in Hebei, Zang Ba knew his embarrassing situation.Once Cao Jun breaks through Pengcheng, he will be the one who will suffer next.

"Leave [-] troops to garrison Hejian, and the rest of the troops returned to Yecheng and were on standby at any time. The Cao bandit turned back, saying that Hebei would not be attacked, and that he would support me in attacking Chen Feng.

Damn it, this shit is playing with me, my army has just fought against the soldiers and horses left by Chen Feng for a whole winter, and now Cao Cao is attacking Hebei.

Such vicious thoughts, Cao Cao, I fell for you, hateful, if you have the guts, you will call Yecheng, I will wait for you here. "

Yuan Shang, who was discussing in the hall, heard the news that Cao Jun besieged Pengcheng, and his inner panic was no less than that of Zang Ba.

You know, when Cao Cao was not too strong, he could win the battle of Guandu, and the strength of the Yuan family, which was strong, was greatly damaged.

It was also the battle of Guandu that caused Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei, to die in Huangquan.It is impossible to say that you are not afraid of Cao Cao. It can be said that in Yuan Shang's heart, the word Cao Cao is a nightmare.

The reaction of the Hebei heroes did not exceed the expectations of Cao Cao and Guo Jia.After hibernating for so long, Cao Cao suddenly mobilized [-] elite troops for the Northern Expedition. This is what he wanted.

"Report, I would like to report to the Prime Minister that the area southeast of Xuzhou is densely covered with swamps and crisscrossed by rivers, and it is difficult for our cavalry to enter.

According to reports from the spies, there are some bandits who occupy the mountains as kings in these places. General Xiahou sent someone to ask if it is necessary to eliminate these bandits first. "

A Tiger Guards junior came to inquire. Every news coming from the front needs to be reported to Cao Cao, and then he will give corresponding answers according to the situation.

"Southeast? Bandits,,,,,,"

Cao Cao frowned, he almost forgot what was going on in the southeast area.In recent years, none of the wars that took place in Xuzhou took place in the southeast.

"It should be in the area of ​​Xiapi, hehe, unexpectedly, it has been so many years, and the evil consequences of that war have not been eliminated."

As Cao Cao's chief adviser, Guo Jia is quite familiar with Xuzhou's environment, especially the swamps in the southeast, which were almost all caused by him.
