Han counter current

But the task he shouldered was not something he could accomplish alone, so he had to go see his sister.It is certain that the charges will be cleared, but most importantly, he now needs a force that can be grasped in his hands.

To a certain extent, Cai Mao also wanted to bring Zhang Yun in, but after all, they had been separated for so long, and the position Zhang Yun sat was related to the interests of the entire Zhang family, so he was not sure of his personal friendship with Zhang Yun. Can it work.

"Brother, don't laugh at the younger brother. To tell you the truth, since you fled and Liu Bei took over Xiangyang, the life of my Zhang family has become more and more difficult. Brother, you have to save the younger brother.

You don't know that Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's military adviser, has recruited many aristocratic families in Jingzhou to reject us. The status of the Zhang family has plummeted, and a lot of land has been occupied by Liu Bei under various names.

And the Cai family, hey, brother, the Cai family now has less than one-third of the land left. This Liu Bei is too ruthless. The point is, there are still many aristocratic families following him and shouting. Overwhelm our momentum.

Think back when the lord was still there, how did my Zhang family fall to such a status. This Liu Bei eliminated dissidents as soon as he came. "

What Zhang Yun said was true, Liu Bei couldn't give enough benefits to local veteran families like them, not to mention, most of the local interests in Xiangyang and even Jingzhou had already been divided up by these veteran families.

Therefore, what Liu Bei can do is to win over some small and medium-sized aristocratic families, and then fight against these old aristocratic families together. After mastering the army, Liu Bei will continue to install cronies to eliminate dissidents, and then use military power to force these old aristocratic families to hand over their interests.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei will distribute part of the benefits to the families he has won over. In this way, these small and medium-sized families will work harder to fight against the local old families, while Liu Bei can just sit back and watch the snipe and the clam fight.

"Hey, dear brother, why don't I know what you mean. However, I have my own difficulties as a brother. If you really make up your mind, I will naturally recommend you to my current lord.

But, you have to think clearly, once you know the name of my lord, if you are half-hearted, I'm afraid you will never see the sun of tomorrow again, and even the whole Zhang family will be wiped out. "

"Ah, this, this,,,,,,"

Zhang Yun showed a look of horror, he knew that Cai Mao would not utter wild words at this time, at least, the lord in the other party's mouth was really capable of killing Zhang Yun.

"Brother, little brother has already made up his mind. Jingzhou must not be entrusted to Liu Bei, a villain. I also ask my brother to recommend it for me. I will be very grateful."

Originally, Zhang Yun wanted to think about it, but when he noticed the gleam in Cai Mao's eyes, he knew that he already knew part of the other party's secrets, and if he was still hesitant, he might not meet him anyway. To the sun of tomorrow.

To some extent, Cai Mao came to him today just to lure him into the water, all of this is out of his choice, as long as he dares to shake his head, someone will definitely come to take his life.

After figuring this out, Zhang Yun no longer hesitated.Of course, he still complained a little to Cai Mao, but in the exchange of few words just now, Cai Mao took Zhang Yun for a walk at the gate of ghosts.

"My dear brother is decisive. I have learned the lesson today. I can guarantee that if my lord wins Jingzhou, the Zhang family will gain much more than what they lost before."

After smoothing out Zhang Yun, Cai Mao immediately started to implement his plan. Liu Bei left Xiangyang, and Zhuge Liang also went to Xinye. Now, although the generals who stayed in Xiangyang were Liu Bei's cronies, most of the soldiers were Cai Mao and the others. underlings.

Ten days later, Liu Bei led the army to Xinye. Sima Yi held the emperor and all civil and military officials hostage. The two sides conducted secret negotiations. In a short period of time, no one went to pay homage to the emperor.

However, just when Liu Bei and Sima Yi were about to reach an agreement, a shocking thunderbolt floated out from Xinye, and then it rang all over the world.

The current emperor died in Xinye territory.Although the emperor has always been a puppet in the hands of Cao Cao, and has become a bargaining chip in the hands of Sima Yi during this period, he is still the emperor no matter what.

Outside the north gate of Ye City, Chen Feng was standing on the general platform, all dressed in hemp and mourning. He was leading a grand sacrificial activity with the civilians and soldiers under his command.

"Cao Cao, the traitor, controlled the imperial court, and held the emperor hostage to the feudal lords for more than ten years. The villain Liu Bei, deceived the world and stole his name, poisoned His Majesty, and both humans and gods were angry. Sima Yi, the dog thief, held His Majesty hostage, intending to stand on his own.

These three people are all the most sinful people in the world. I, Chen Feng, have received the favor of the emperor, and now I can't repay it. The only way to repay the world is to kill these three thieves.

All officers and men, our Northern Frontier Army started in the bitter cold, moved to the grasslands and frontiers for many years, and killed countless enemies. Today, I am going south to capture and kill these three thieves. Would you like to go with me? "

"Willing, willing,,,,,,"

The soldiers of the three armies shouted loudly, and their morale was high. It seemed that Chen Feng's subordinates had recently rested well.

Xinye is also dressed in hemp and filial piety, but the morale of the army stationed in Xinye is low, because since the day His Majesty died, there have been countless rumors pointing to Liu Bei, who poisoned His Majesty.

"Chen Feng, Gongsun Xu, you guys are so ruthless..."

In a certain big tent, Sima Yi's face was full of anger. He never expected that things would develop into such a situation. Now Sima Yi has become a sinner.

Chapter 730 Follow the trend 1

Just two days before Chen Feng raised his troops to go south, Ma Chao suddenly led [-] elite troops, plus [-] slave troops, from Wei Xingchi to Wancheng to join Zhang Liao's army.

Then, with Zhang Liao as the commander, Yan as the deputy commander, and Ma Chao as the vanguard, the army of more than [-] people began to march towards Xinye, and the follow-up slave army was on the way.It seems that they don't want Liu Bei to return to Xiangyang again.

At the same time, Gongsun Xu took Pound as the vanguard general, led [-] elite cavalry and [-] slave cavalry, and went directly to Chenliu. When the world was wondering whether Gongsun Xu was going to fight for self-reliance, he used his actions Proved his loyalty to Chen Feng.

On the other side, Chen Feng personally led a main force of [-] troops, including [-] soldiers from Zhang He in the south of Jizhou, [-] elite troops from Zhao Yun, and [-] soldiers from Huang Zhong.

The whole army has a total of 8 elite troops. With Zhao Yun as the pioneer, they directly attacked Chen Liu from the north.After resting for so long, Chen Feng recovered a little bit of energy, but this time, he mobilized so many soldiers and horses, it seemed that he was going to launch the final blow to Cao Cao.

Gao Zhong, who was leading the troops stationed in Xuzhou, also united Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses, plus [-] Xuzhou troops, a total of [-] soldiers and horses marched towards Yuzhou from the east.

Then, this army was divided into two. Zhang Xiu led [-] elites to go south to find Zhang Fei's decisive battle with Cao Jun, while Gao Zhong led the remaining troops to the north of Yanzhou, toward Chenliu's direction forward.

Cao Chun and Cao Zhangzheng led more than ten thousand elites to quickly retreat to Chenliu. They had just defeated Zhang Fei's ten thousand army in Yuzhou.

"Hehe, after all, I underestimated the determination and means of this thief..."

In the bedroom, Cao Cao showed a wry smile on his face. The situation has become like this, and it is difficult for him to reverse it even if he has all-powerful means.There are less than [-] elite soldiers and horses around, and food, grass and supplies are even more scarce.

Fighting a war depends not only on the commander's strategy, but more often, logistics supplies, soldiers' morale and fighting spirit can all affect the direction of the war.

Military advisor Guo Jia has been ill in bed, and now even eating a few catties of five stone powder is useless. Cheng Yu is good at handling information, but he is not very good at marching and fighting.

The most frightening thing is that the northern border army came from four directions, that is, Gaolan, where the troops were stationed in Chaoge, and now they also gathered the [-] slave troops brought by Mengzhan from the grassland, and began to launch a small-scale attack on Chenliu.

As for Gongsun Xu, the road was even more powerful, with Pang De as the pioneer, and there were no important checkpoints along the way, and there were no cities guarded by the main force of Cao's army.

This guy actually arrived at the outskirts of Chenliu one step earlier than Chen Feng. Afterwards, Gongsun Xu was not in a hurry to attack, but kept attacking the nearby small cities, driving out the local people, with the intention of turning Chenliu into an isolated city.

Gao Zhong, who had just arrived in Suiyang, met Cao Chun and Cao Zhang, who were coming back to rescue Chen Liu.

It wasn't until Chen Feng led the army all the way through thorns and thorns, broke through most of the cities in the northern part of Yanzhou, and arrived in the northeast of Chenliu, that the battle of annihilation was finally about to start.

The arrival of Chen Feng has brought immeasurable morale to the 10,000+ soldiers of the northern border army, especially those slaves. They only obey Chen Feng's orders, because only Chen Feng has the power to bring them better Life.

"Cao Cao is the hero of the world. He will definitely not admit defeat until the last moment. For the current strategy, we can only do our best to kill Cao's elite, cut off the enemy's food and grass sources, and force Cao's army to fight our army."

In the big tent, Chen Fengduan sat on the commander's seat, his two gazes were like blades, sweeping over the generals in the tent continuously.Gongsun Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and other generals were all sitting upright, waiting for Chen Feng's order.

"My lord, Chenliu City has a high wall and is Cao Cao's old nest. Most of the soldiers in the city are Cao Cao's old subordinates. Their loyalty to Cao Cao cannot be shaken by us.

It is probably inappropriate for our army to storm the city at this moment. According to the general's opinion, our army will now send partial divisions to conquer other cities within a radius of [-] li, completely isolating Chenliu. "

As the number one general under Chen Feng's command, Gongsun Xu no longer hides anything at this juncture. The big disturbances before have made many people wary of him again. Now, he needs to prove himself to the world loyalty.

Chen Feng nodded, he understood what Gongsun Xu meant.It can be said that Gongsun Xu contributed a lot to forcing Cao Cao to such a point. In addition, they still have that kind of relationship, so Chen Feng naturally believed him.

"It should be so, Han Sheng. Among the soldiers under your command, there are [-] infantry who are good at attacking cities and villages. I will dispatch another [-] slave troops to you and order you to conquer the nearby cities within a month. You may do it." ?”

"No, this subordinate takes orders."

Within a radius of [-] miles, apart from Chenliu, there were actually no other big cities. Even if there were, the elite soldiers and food in the city had already been transferred away by Cao Cao, and the rest were old and weak soldiers.

Therefore, no matter who is sent to attack these cities, it is an easy credit.Huang Zhong has been following Chen Feng for many years and has been working hard without complaint. Even though he rarely has the opportunity to make meritorious service, he doesn't complain about anything.
