Han counter current

The high-gong Zhenzhu did not end well, plus Gongsun Yue became a vegetable, Gongsun Xu had to keep a low profile, even if he was wronged, he couldn't help it, but if there was another way to solve his problem, maybe he could give it a try.

Chapter 726 Misty Fog 1

In midsummer, Chen Feng basically completed the rectification of Qinghai and Hebei. The summer harvest work in various places is going well, and the grain and grass in the north can be self-sufficient.

In addition, the grain and grass purchased from Bingzhou, Youzhou, Liaodong, and Jiangdong and other places are also on the way. The granary in the north will soon be filled.

Gao Zhong led the troops to guard Xuzhou. After forcing the Pengcheng defenders to surrender, he began to rectify the forces in Xuzhou. So far, he has obtained a total of 2 young and strong elites.

Gao Zhong did not dismiss the rest of the old and weak who were eliminated.After all, the situation in Xuzhou is different from other places. After all, it has suffered from natural and man-made disasters for so many years, and the infrastructure in various places has been severely damaged. It is difficult for ordinary people to grow food in peace.

If Gao Zhong scattered these bandits and bandits who had gathered in his hands with great difficulty, Xuzhou didn't know how many years it would be before it calmed down.

Thanks to the mature garrison system of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Gao Zhong dispersed tens of thousands of old and weak people who had been eliminated. In addition, the [-] Xuzhou elites were also divided into two groups, one group camped with the garrison army for training, and the other group followed Gao Zhong Training near Pengcheng.

The Danyang elite soldiers in Xuzhou were famous all over the world in the early years. Because of the fierce folk customs in Danyang, the local people's physical fitness is also particularly good, and the local martial arts are popular, which created this treasure trove.

This time Gao Zhong recruited several gangs of bandits from Danyang. After the training, a total of [-] young men from Danyang were obtained.

Seeing that Yuzhou and Yanzhou are still in the hands of Cao Cao, Gao Zhong also understands that the war will continue, so he needs to train the Xuzhou army in his hand to become elite as soon as possible. When he attacks Yuzhou or Yanzhou in the future, these soldiers and horses will become the pioneers .

As for Cao Cao, they have not been idle during this time. Although the food reserves in the territory are almost consumed, the major families have their own warehouses, and they have a lot of food and grass in their hands.

Most of the aristocratic families in Yanzhou and Yuzhou were actually grasshoppers on the same rope as Cao Cao. Seeing that Cao Cao was so destitute, many enlightened family heads volunteered to donate food and grass.

Thanks to the support of these aristocratic families, Cao Cao quickly completed the training of his soldiers.So far, he still has more than [-] elite soldiers, with a total of more than [-] troops, and tens of thousands of soldiers from counties and counties.

Xuchang was lost, Wancheng was lost, Sili was lost, and Xuzhou was also taken away. This series of losses not only greatly shrunk Cao Cao's territory, but also made fewer and fewer elite soldiers under his command.

In fact, Cao Cao still had at least [-] elites scattered in various places, but due to the lack of unified command and the increasingly chaotic situation, they were all defeated or surrendered in the end.

For example, the more than 7000 elites in Wancheng, the [-] elites in Hulaoguan, the [-] elites in Pengcheng, and the [-] troops near Xuchang.

If the situation hadn't changed too quickly, and Cao Cao couldn't attack Xu Chang now, how could he have fallen to such a state. After all, Chen Feng had more and more troops.

"Xuchang, we must take back Xuchang, as long as we can take back Xuchang, the army around Sili will move closer to us, and the defeated soldiers will also gather under our banner again.

It's unwise to fight Chen Feng now. Only by taking Xuchang as soon as possible can our army recover in the shortest possible time. Come and send orders, and the army will march towards Xuchang, putting more pressure on Gongsun Xu and Sima Yi. "

As far as the current situation is concerned, Cao Cao has no choice. Chen Feng is still rectifying his troops and territory. If he is allowed to complete the rectification, the Northern Frontier Army will definitely continue to move south in the shortest possible time. There is not much time left for Cao Cao. .

Just as Cao Jun continued to advance, Chen Feng also decisively ordered Zhang He and Zhao Yun to lead [-] elite soldiers each and [-] slave troops to harass Cao Jun in the south, in order not to let Cao Cao have enough troops to attack Xuchang.

However, when these two princes were busy calculating others and trying to increase their own strength, a news from Xuchang frightened the armies on both sides to stop.

"This, how is this possible, how is this possible..."

Cao Cao's big hands holding the secret report were trembling, because the spies in front sent back the latest information about Xu Chang, and it was this information that made him hesitate.

It turned out that just four days ago, Gongsun Xu stormed Xuchang overnight. The world thought it would be a tragic siege. Who would have thought that Sima Yi led [-] elite soldiers to hold the imperial court hostage before the battle lasted all night? The civil and military officials broke through.

The strange thing is that Gongsun Xu has [-] troops in his hands. Although he can't besiege Xuchang, it's not enough for Sima Yi to break through like this. Besides, Sima Yi brought all the civil and military officials with him, and there are many aristocratic families who broke through together.

What's even more strange is that after taking Xuchang, Gongsun Xu did not send troops to chase after the defeated soldiers, but rested on the grounds that the soldiers were exhausted after fighting for a long time.

You know, Gongsun Xu's stepping white army is an elite that swept across the grassland. Among them, the 2 cavalry are the generation who have survived a hundred battles, and the more than [-] slaves are also qualified cavalry.

As long as they were willing to pursue, Sima Yi would not be able to escape at all, but Gongsun Xu didn't do so, and just watched Sima Yi flee with an army of [-] and a large amount of luggage.

What's even more bizarre is that Zhang Liao besieged Wancheng for a long time, but failed to take it down. Although the Jingzhou army in the city was trapped to death, the original plan of the Northern Xinjiang Army did not come true.

And just two days before Gongsun Xu stormed Xuchang, he actually transferred Zhang Liao's most elite [-] cavalry in the name of the commander of the West Road Army, and put them under the command of General Ma Chao. The reason was to guard Wei Xing and ensure the retreat of the army.

And it was this order that made Zhang Liao's originally weak defense line full of loopholes. How shrewd Guan Yu was, he immediately found a chance to break through.

Unfortunately, Sima Yi, who had escaped from Xuchang's siege, led [-] elite troops to appear in the northeast of Wancheng, and then joined forces from inside and outside to attack Zhang Liao's troops, and finally escaped with Guan Yu's army.

Although Zhang Liao suffered little loss and took Wancheng, it was far from the original strategic goal.Besides, opponents like Guan Yu and Sima Yi should be killed as soon as possible. Letting them break through this time is tantamount to returning the tiger to the mountain.

Cao Cao was dumbfounded by such a result, Liu Bei was dumbfounded, Sun Quan was even more amused, and Chen Feng did not take any action at the moment, but directly ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang He's two troops to enter the north of Xuzhou to rest, as if, He did not expect such a situation.

The situation has become so complicated and confusing that the princes of the world are all observing the situation at this time.

Chapter 727 Misty Fog 2

The situation is becoming more and more confusing. The originally chaotic situation has now turned into a pool of muddy water. Several princes in the world wanted to be masters of fishing in troubled waters, but they couldn't find a place to start.

After taking Xuchang, Gongsun Xu took this as the center and dispatched his generals to attack the surrounding cities. In less than half a month, Sili belonged to him, and Zhang Liao occupied Wancheng. It can be said that Cao Cao is in this area. The power is completely expelled.

After Sima Yi responded to Guan Yu's breakthrough, he stationed troops in Xinye. At the same time, Liu Bei in the rear recruited troops to help out, and a large amount of food, grass and supplies were also transported from Xiangyang. It seemed that they wanted to regain Wancheng again.

At the moment, Cao Cao is leading 100 soldiers and horses to station in the south of Chenliu, which is only more than [-] miles away from Xuchang.In his plan, after Gongsun Xu stormed the city, he could come out to pick the ready-made fruits.

If Gongsun continues to win, it must be a loss of soldiers and generals. In addition, the aristocratic families in the city are all old with the Cao family, and Cao Cao is absolutely sure to win Xuchang.

If Sima Yi defended Xuchang, then things would be even simpler. Cao Cao believed that as long as his banner appeared outside Xuchang City, the city gate would be opened, and Sima Yi couldn't stop it at all.

However, reality slapped Cao Cao hard.Gongsun Xu took Xuchang, but did not lose any troops, and also recruited more than 2 recruits left by Sima Yi.

Coupled with the property left by the aristocratic families held hostage by Sima Yi, Gongsun Xu made a fortune.Now, Gongsun Xu has more than [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, and he is completely fearless in the face of the Cao army who is about to attack.

And Sima Yi led more than [-] elites to successfully break through. With the emperor, civil and military officials, and courts that can influence all over the world, and Liu Bei backing him, his strength has not weakened.

"Why did this happen? Could it be that Gongsun Xu and Sima Yi had reached an agreement that failed, otherwise, how could the situation have turned into this?"

Cao Cao's brows were furrowed, he was a good player when it comes to marching and fighting, but he was far inferior to Guo Jia and others in terms of making plans and calculating people's hearts.

So in the face of this situation, he has too many questions in his heart. Without an answer, he can't decide what to do next.

"Come here, keep an eye on the north for me, and keep an eye on Chen Feng's soldiers."

Now, Chen Feng occupies the north, Gao Lan leads the troops stationed at Chaoge, and Gongsun Xu has just captured Xuchang, which can be regarded as locking Cao Cao's strength in the Yanzhou area. Faced with such a predicament, Cao Cao must find a way to break this predicament as soon as possible Bureau.

At the same time, apart from Cao Cao not daring to mobilize troops, Chen Feng is also standing still.The soldiers and horses led by Zhang He and Zhao Yun are currently training in the northern part of Yanzhou. Although the momentum is huge, they have no intention of going further south.

The situation has become so complicated and confusing. Most of the people in the game look confused. Heroes like Cao Cao or Chen Feng can only adopt the strategy of stopping calmly now.

A few days later, news from various places continued to come out. After comprehensively analyzing the information from various places, Cao Cao also began to sort out the situation in front of him. His troops did not dare to move around, and Chen Feng did the same.

"Could it be that Gongsun Xu's behavior was not ordered by Chen Feng?"

Finally, after thinking about it for a few days, a flash of light flashed in Cao Cao's mind.It is not surprising that Gongsun Xu was able to capture Xuchang in such a short period of time, but it is very strange that he was able to capture Xuchang at such a small price, but at the same time let Sima Yi and his main force go.

Moreover, after taking down Xuchang and Sili, Gongsun Xu did not intend to send troops to pursue the outside world. On the contrary, all his orders and actions so far were to prepare for strengthening the city wall and defending the outside world. In this, But it's very strange.

Reminiscent of Chen Feng's sudden standstill, Zhang Liao's disobedience to Gongsunxu's order, and Hulaoguan being taken over by the generals sent by Gongsunxu. This series of changes indicates that there are too many inside stories.

"No matter what, as long as there is an opportunity, I will try it. Chen Feng occupies too much territory. If he is slowed down, it will be very difficult for my subordinate Erlang to defeat him.
