The Three Kingdoms began with the rescue of Mrs. Mi

Chapter 52 Cao Hong and Cao Chun's Dilemma
As the golden sails rose on the river, Gan Ning led his troops to leave in a cool and unrestrained manner, leaving Yiling, which was under siege by Cao Jun, to his little brother Liu Feng.

In Gan Ning's view, this is normal.

Zhou Yu's reinforcements have not arrived yet, and he can't afford to lose the lives of Jinfan brothers for an isolated city.

Little brother Liu Feng is a good man, responsible, and an ally. Leaving Liu Feng to guard him will not only preserve Gan Ning's reputation, but it will not do any harm. Why not kill two birds with one stone?
As for predictions such as Sun Liu's future rebellion, Gan Ning said that he was just a general, not a commander, not a counselor, so he couldn't guess such a complicated result.

Liu Feng was surprised and complicated when he took over Yiling.

From the perspective of Liu Bei's strategy of seeking Xichuan, he took a big advantage this time, but from the perspective of the local battlefield in Nanjun, he carried a big burden on his back.

The most immediate threat, Liu Feng, is about to deal with Cao Jun's condescending arrow towers and catapults.

After Liu Feng settled the defense in the city, he ordered Xing Daorong to call Ma Liang, Fu Shen, Zhao Lei, Huo Jun and other important generals to the county office to discuss countermeasures.

In the spacious hall, Liu Feng had ordered his soldiers to set up a terrain sand table near Yiling.

"Little general, Cao's army is at a high place, and our army is at a low place. It's really not easy to take precautions. According to my opinion, our army can send out an army first, cut off Cao's army's water source and supplies, and force him to go down the mountain to fight."

Ma Liang pointed to the hills and roads in the north of Yiling, and said in a deep voice.

Liu Feng was slightly taken aback, water and food were cut off, isn't this a replica of the subsequent battle at Jieting?
Ma Di and Ma Liang, these two brothers are interesting, and they have similar knowledge but also the same effect. Of course, Ma Di has much worse vision and ability than Ma Liang.

"Little general, is the last general willing to lead an army to guard the mountain road and block Cao Hong's back?" Fu Xun was delighted to hear that there was a strategy to defeat the enemy, and hurriedly asked for orders.

Liu Feng glanced at Fu Xun, who had a strong desire to fight, and said in a deep voice: "Congyun, you go alone. You are single and weak, and you are not familiar with the place, so you can easily be defeated by Cao Jun. In this way, Uncle Huo will be the main general, and Zhijiang soldiers will fight against you." The terrain in this area is familiar, so even if the battle is unfavorable, you can return safely; Congyun, you are the lieutenant general, and the two of you will join forces to guard the riverside outside the city, don't rush for battle, just guard the camp."

Liu Fengjun returned to the Public Security Bureau. In order to commend the achievements of the generals, Liu Bei took the nickname Congyun for Fu Xun and Jida for Zhao Lei. This also means that Fu and Zhao were favored by Liu Bei. After the war, they might be transferred from Liu Feng.

Huo Jun didn't expect Liu Feng to think so highly of him. Just as he was about to decline a few words, Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "Uncle Huo is a solemn and steady man, and he is very good at guarding the camp. Please don't refuse."

Having said that, Liu Feng turned to Ma Liang again, and said, "Ji Chang, you will go out of the city to Cao Ying later, and when you see Cao Hong and Cao Chun, tell them clearly that Yiling is under my Liu Feng's guard. Either stop the war and withdraw the troops, or attack the city, choose one of the two, if you stay outside the city without fighting or retreating, Jiangling City will belong to Zhou Yu?"

Ma Liang was a descendant of the Ma family in Jingzhou, and was married to powerful families such as Cai, Kuai, and Huang. Cao Hong's army still relied on the supplies of these local wealthy families for supplies, so the possibility of turning around and killing Ma Liang was very small.

Ma Liang raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and smiled: "Liang Zunling. The little general is going to use a trick to attack the heart. When Cao Hong heard the little general's arrival, I'm afraid he would regret it now?"

Some calculations.

All the troops of Liu Feng's army split up to move immediately. The generals led by Huo Jun and Fu Xun went out of the city and camped in a gentle tributary of the river.

Liu Feng, together with Zhao Lei, stepped up repairing the damaged city walls in Yiling City to prevent possible surprise attacks by Cao Jun.

Xing Daorong saw that Fu Di, Huo Jun and other generals had missions, but he stood by Liu Feng's side, and he felt trust and attention, and he paid more attention to inspections and investigations.

-

In the tent of Cao Yingzhong army.

Cao Hong and Cao Ren were discussing the battle of Yiling. Liu Feng's sudden appearance made Cao's military superiority no longer exist, and the suppression effect of continuing to storm the city wall was minimal.

For a while, Cao Jun's scouts focused on the movement of Zhou Yu's army in Jiangling. Wu Jun's fleet was still anchored near Jiangling, which made Cao Hong and Cao Ren think that Yiling would be fine. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu didn't come. But Liu Feng came.

"Zihe, I heard that Liu Feng is very brave. If the opponent is replaced by this person, we might as well lure him out of the city and encircle and wipe him out."

Cao Hong's comprehensive ability is not as good as Cao Ren's, but he is very brave in combat. When he can't find a breakthrough for a while, his first choice is to trick Liu Feng out of the city to fight one-on-one.

Cao Chun coughed lightly, gasped for a few moments, and said, "Zi Lian, Liu Feng is not just brave, he is also quite resourceful. Listen to the interim report from the south. Liu Feng went to Wuling two months ago. The two counties of Lingling and Lingling are in the limelight for a while. We must not be careless."

Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry showed their prowess in the battle of Changbanpo, beating Liu Bei and fleeing.

The only regret is that Liu Feng became famous on the Tiger and Leopard Rider when he led a group of Liu Beijun's family members out of the chaos by riding alone.

This result made Cao Chun unhappy, and with the disease attacking him, his body began to have problems.

While the two were talking, it was reported in the account that Ma Liang, an officer in Liu Feng's army, had come and asked to see Cao Hong and Cao Chun.

After Ma Liang came in and said Liu Feng's meaning, Cao Hong and Cao Chun looked at each other and were silent for a while without answering.

After a while, Cao Chun asked: "Little General Liu is so confident, can't our army take down Yiling City?"

Ma Liang puffed up his chest and replied confidently: "If General Cao doesn't believe it, he can go ahead and attack the city, but if he loses the battle, don't say that my little general didn't inform him in advance."

"In that case, tell Liu Feng back and wait for me, Cao Zilian, to take his head." Cao Hong was so angry at Ma Liang's attitude that his face was livid. This Liu Feng was too arrogant. The Xiao will speak big words in front of him.

Ma Liang was driven out of Cao Ying by Cao Jun's generals, and reported to Liu Feng what Cao Hong and Cao Chun had said. After hearing this, Liu Feng laughed three times and said: "Cao Jun relies on archery towers and throwing stones to attack the city from a distance. We have no means for the time being. If two In close combat with the army, whoever is afraid of it, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard rider was beaten to the ground on Huarong Road, and I don't know how many riders are left alive."

For Liu Feng, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was an opponent that could not be erased from his memory.

In the Battle of Changbanpo, although Liu Feng escaped with Mrs. Mi and others, along the way, he saw too many scenes of Liu Bei's soldiers and civilians being killed by Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry.

If Cao Chun attacked the city, it would be a chance for revenge.
