Han counter current

Jia Xu held the letter from Qingzhou with a smile on his face. It seemed that something was under his control.

"The military master is very resourceful, and Yuan Tan has not been able to escape the military master's calculations. The allure of the position of leader seems to be indeed great.

If Cao's army hadn't raided Xuzhou this time and intended to aggressively invade Hebei, I'm afraid Yuan Tan would still think of ways to trick us now. The changes in the world are really amazing.

A few months ago we fought to the death with Yuan Tan's brother, but now we have to work together, hehe, the name of Cao Cao is unparalleled in the world. "

A smile appeared on Gongsun Xu's face, and Jia Xu also explained:

"This Yuan Tan has grown a lot now, just as the lord said, the current Yuan Tan has matured a lot, and he is also very difficult to deal with.

He can restrain his emotions and consider the current situation from the perspective of the overall situation and his own interests, which is already commendable.

Compared with his brother who occupies Jizhou, Yuan Tan is indeed much stronger.Just take this opportunity to find out his details. "

Gongsun Xu nodded, then cupped his hands and said:

"Okay, since that's the case, then I will accompany the military master to sing this good show. The hatred between my Gongsun family and the Yuan family is well known in the world, and there will be no flaws.

It's just that, as you said yourself, military commander, Yuan Tan will definitely ask us to send troops. Moreover, Cao Jun has no less than [-] cavalry. Even if Yuan Tan and the others join forces, they will not be able to produce [-] cavalry.

From the perspective of warfare, we should indeed send troops, and cavalry is the most suitable. However, military division, how many troops and horses should we dispatch? "

Hearing this, Jia Xu stretched out a finger and replied:

"Ten thousand cavalry, if there are too many cavalry, we will not be able to take them out. If there are too few, the opponent will despise us, and the leading general will be General Zhang Xiu."

"[-] cavalry? This, I'm afraid it's too few. Besides, if our army only dispatched [-] soldiers and horses, I'm afraid Cao Jun will laugh at it, and Yuan Tan will look down upon it."

Gongsun Xu was a little hesitant. This number is indeed not many.

"No, the [-] cavalry are only those who directly participated in the alliance war and entered Xuzhou to fight. Our army will dispatch more soldiers and horses, but we will not go to the frontline battlefield."

"Oh, what does the military division mean?"

Jia Xu had her own calculations, so she began to explain:

"Hmph, the princes of Hebei have their own selfish motives. If our army is dispatched too much, it will not be able to exert its combat effectiveness, and it will even be dragged down by them.

My lord has already sent back a secret message that our army should try to avoid direct confrontation in this war. If my predictions are correct, Cao Cao is expecting us to send more troops.

Send out [-] soldiers and horses, and the servant army should be the main one. First, it can train the servant army's combat effectiveness in the north of the Great Wall, and second, it can also mislead them.

The land of Bingzhou is close to Yanzhou. Our army can directly send troops from Bingzhou to attack the city of Yanzhou, and even harass the enemy's rear. In this way, it can be regarded as contributing to the coalition forces.

Moreover, the other soldiers and horses of our army are not under the command of the coalition forces. In this way, our army has the final say on how to fight and how to attack, so we will not be dragged down. "

The allied army, that is to say, is just nice to hear. As a wise man in the world, Jia Xu doesn't understand the thoughts of those people in the allied army.

If I really sent out more soldiers and horses on my side, I am afraid that even if Cao Cao does not come to attack, those allies will find a way to stab them.

"I understand, that's exactly what it should be. Alright, military advisor, let's get ready. Next, I have to stand on the opposite side of you."

After the guards protecting Guo Tu entered the Shangdang, it meant that the alliance between Chen Feng and Yuan Tan was announced to the world. Next, the Hebei coalition forces will fight against Cao Cao.

Outside Pengcheng, Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked at the city tower. The task of besieging Pengcheng had been completed, but he just refused to order a storm. It seemed that he was waiting for something.

"Feng Xiao, tell me, when will the Hebei Allied Forces go south?"

"The shortest is half a month, and the longest is a month. It won't be too long. After all, Liu Bei's food and grass can't last that long. If it doesn't come after a month, then we will take Pengcheng."

Liu Bei's biggest mistake was to gather so many soldiers and horses to defend Pengcheng, which directly led to the emptiness of other cities' defenses. Therefore, Pengcheng became an isolated city.

In addition, Liu Bei did not bring back the food and grass from other cities in time. The [-] army, plus the people in the city, consumed horrific food and grass every day.

"Well, the main purpose of besieging Pengcheng is to attract the Hebei Allied Forces. If the siege takes too long, it will reveal our intention.

Among the Hebei Allied Forces, there are also smart people who can't fail to see this, let's just pass the order for a month, and let the recruits take turns to go to battle. "

In this attack on Xuzhou, Cao Cao took Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun as the vanguard, commanding more than [-] soldiers and horses, and took his second son Cao Zhang as the general of cavalry, commanding thousands of cavalry.

Then, he personally commanded more than [-] cavalry and [-] infantry arrived in Xuzhou. This battle of Hebei was just about to begin.

In addition, there are [-] cavalry who have assembled in the south of Xuzhou. However, in order to mislead the enemy, these [-] fine cavalry will not be dispatched for the time being.

"Feng Xiao, tell me, Chen Feng, will he send troops to fight?"

Looking at the map in the tent, Cao Cao seemed to be thinking about something.Among the northern princes, Chen Feng was not the strongest, but to Cao Cao, Chen Feng was definitely the most difficult to deal with.

"If I were Chen Feng, I would definitely not want to, but hehe, he would definitely send troops to fight, but the number would not be too many."

For his opponent, Guo Jia naturally conducted some research. This Chen Feng is a typical slippery hand, and it is very difficult for him to suffer.

"That's a pity, I wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out his elite as much as possible, but it seems that he refused to give me this opportunity.

This guy is too shrewd, hey, if you want him to suffer, you have to let me bleed first, hehe, but I'm not in a hurry, after I take Hebei, I'll settle the score with him. "

"That's not necessarily true, heh heh, he won't send out too many troops on the frontal battlefield, but Bingzhou is adjacent to Yanzhou, and Chen Feng has a lot of cavalry, so there must be an intention to send troops to disrupt our army's rear.

Regardless of the fact that the southern part of Bingzhou is under Yuan Tan's control, as long as Chen Feng is willing, it is not a difficult problem to take over the whole of Bingzhou. Hmph, we must be careful. "

"Oh, in this case, I can severely damage the elite in Yanzhou."

Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Guo Jia all had sneers on their faces. The situation in the north was under their control, and they had a similar analysis of how the other party would make a move.

Next, it depends on how they are laid out.Yanzhou, as Cao Cao's base camp, had made arrangements with Guo Jia as early as last year.

If someone really dared to go to Yanzhou to make trouble, Cao Cao would probably be very happy.

Chapter 449 Across Hebei 1

On the road, a fast horse was running wildly. The rider on the horse looked back from time to time, as if someone was chasing him behind.

It can be seen from the knight's face that he has not had a good rest for a long time, and the dried blood on his body also proves that he has experienced a lot of fighting.

"call out,,,,,,"

When an arrow was shot, the knight immediately swung his soldiers and horses to protect his vitals, but this arrow was not aimed at him.

Soon, the war horse under his crotch, due to overwork and being hit by an arrow, finally fell to the ground after exhausting the last bit of strength.

"Damn, unexpectedly, there are still ambushes here."

Chen Dao jumped off the horse in time, and then licked his chapped lips. After leaving Pengcheng, he was hunted down endlessly by Cao's army. It was not until he entered Zang Ba's territory that the hunted down a lot.

However, Cao Jun seemed to know that there was some important secret letter on him, and he always didn't want him to leave alive.

"Hand over the letter, and spare your life."
