My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 120 The army is overwhelmed, retreat? ? 【Subscribe】

Jian'an three years, May.

Cao Cao issued an edict to the world that, on the grounds of punishing the rebels, he marched and rode more than 200,000 people, claiming to be a [-] army, and he even led the three armies in person, approaching Shouchun.

At the same time, he sent Xia Houyuan and Li Dian to lead an army of [-] troops, claiming to be a [-]-strong army, to join the generals of Mount Tai in the north and take Xuzhou directly.

For a moment, the princes of the world looked sideways!
----

Cao Jun hurried forward,

Leaving the country of Chen, entering the territory of Runan,

Only then did Shouchun hear the news, and hurriedly sent a message.

-

Niuzhu Jiangbei,

Lu Su looked at the urgent message from Shouchun, his brows were gloomy, his worry came after all, he guessed that Sun Ce would definitely ask for help after he was defeated,

I just didn't expect Cao Cao to be so decisive.

The arrival of Cao Cao means that the Chu army must return to defense, and Danyang and Kuaiji could have been annexed unscrupulously, but now they must shrink.

All previous efforts were wasted!

Even after Cao Cao's soldiers committed crimes, Chu Feng had to return to help. After all, almost all the elite were taken away by Chu Feng, and most of the rest were miscellaneous soldiers. How could they be the opponents of Qingzhou soldiers?
When Chu Feng returns to aid, Sun Ce will definitely occupy Wu County and regain the lost ground again!
Thinking of this, Lu Su closed his eyes and meditated.

After a long time, he wrote several letters in succession, and immediately called a messenger, and sent one letter to Lu Bu, asking him to send troops to attack Cao Cao's rear as soon as possible.

A letter was sent to Liu Biao, informing him that Xuchang was empty and allowing him to attack.

Another letter was sent to Yuan Shao, telling the pros and cons of it, telling Cao Cao that there would be a final battle, and that he could divide his troops and go south in advance to coerce Cao Cao to retreat.

The remaining two letters were sent to Ji Ling and Chu Feng respectively, telling the situation and asking them to rush back to help.

As for himself, he immediately stayed in the camp and asked him to fly his own flag more.

And he took the remaining ships and thousands of troops northward from the Shunchao Lake water system,

Simply use Feishui to dig through the water, and the warships can reach the Huaihe River. Lu Su must find a way to lead his troops to stop Cao Cao in Huaibei.

Otherwise, if Cao Cao crosses the Huai River, the people of Shouchun will surely suffer. After all, Cao Cao treats the people of other princes too cruelly.

----

Summer, mid-May.

Lu Su led 5000 people to station in the northern water village of the Huaishui River, and Qiao Rui commanded [-] people to guard Shouchun, thus forming a situation of fighting and helping each other.

It's just that the force is limited, and the effect is bound to be mediocre.

As for Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Lejiu, etc., Zhang Xun is now staying to guard Wanling in Danyang County, and Ji Lingle will lead [-] troops back to Shouchun.

Even so, the force is still too small.

Excluding the defenders in Niuzhu, Danyang and other places, there are only 10,000 under Lu Su, [-] under Qiaorui, and [-] under Ji Ling. The key point is that the combat power of more than [-] people is definitely not as good as Cao's army.

You know, Qingzhou soldiers fought all the year round, but Yuan Shu, on the other hand, was always arrogant and extravagant, and the soldiers under his command were all too indulgent, and the time for rectification was limited.

In terms of combat power, there is no way to compare.

----

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

After listening to the messenger, Liu Biao smiled lightly and said, "Come here, please come and rest!"

After speaking, Liu Biao looked at everyone.

"Everyone, you must have heard just now that Cao Cao sent troops to Shouchun, and Chu Feng wanted me to send troops to help. I wonder what you think?"

"My lord, the cloth armor that Chu Feng promised years ago has only been given a hundred pieces, isn't this intentionally deceiving us?

What's more, Sun Ce's losing streak, if Chu Feng is allowed to occupy the six counties of Yangzhou, then who should he direct his troops next?Cao Cao?Or the lord?
If he wants to capture Jingzhou, I dare to ask you, who can compete with him?At that time, won't it be easy for Jingzhou to call for the Lord?Liang thought that he could not help. "

Kuai Liang bowed and said loudly.

When the words came out, both civil and military officials carefully discussed, and they all agreed with Kuai Liang's words. After all, Chu Feng was ambitious, so if he really wanted him to win the six counties of Yangzhou, what would it be?
Wouldn't Jingzhou be in jeopardy then?
Liu Biao raised his eyebrows, and he was even more aware that he just wanted to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. As for Chu Feng's life and death, it had nothing to do with him, otherwise, when Chu Feng came to attack, he would have no place to die.

"My lord, the general thinks that Cao Cao's attack this time, my lord might as well take the opportunity to attack Yuzhang. If there is a crisis in Shouchun, Yuzhang's defense must be empty."

Another fierce general suggested immediately.

"No, this matter can't be mentioned again. Chu Feng and I are allies. Although we can't help him, if we attack his territory from behind, how will people in the world think of me, Liu Jingsheng?"

Liu Biao immediately vetoed it. He didn't need to help, but he definitely didn't want to get involved.

Of course, the most important thing is that this will belong to the Cai family.

It is not a day or two for the Cai family to suggest taking Yuzhang. Obviously they want to continue to expand their influence, and they will only be more passive by then.

"In this way, sending people to send three hundred bows and crossbows and five hundred swords to Yuzhang will be regarded as assistance. And I really can't do anything,"

"Now Zhang Xian in Changsha is rebellious and self-reliant. I still need to put down the rebellion, and I don't have any extra troops to go north." Liu Biao mentioned this, and his mind hurts.

Changsha Zhang Xian has a high prestige in Jingnan, and he has no control over Jingnan. This time Zhang Xian rebelled, and Jingnan responded one after another.

Wu County, in Piling City.

It has been a while since Sun Ce withdrew his army. Chu Feng had only one thought at the moment, to take root in Wu County and wait for Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Lu Su and others to encircle him.

When the time comes to eat up Danyang, Kuaiji, and the isolated city of Wujun, it will naturally be impossible to defend, and you can occupy Yangzhou entirely by yourself.

When the time comes to build warships, you can go out of the Huai River to take the Central Plains, or you can counterattack Jingzhou and capture the eight counties of Jingxiang, and you can retreat to the Yangtze River's natural moat and defend by the river.

This is the strategy he and Lu Su jointly decided.

But at this moment, Liu Ye rushed over and shouted: "My lord, disaster has happened!"

Hearing the sound, Chu Feng frowned, put down the scroll in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"My lord, a letter came from Zijing, Cao Cao, Cao Cao raised an army to attack, leading tens of thousands of elites, and it will not be long before the soldiers come to Shouchun."

Liu Ye looked nervous,

He had discussed with Chu Feng and thought about Cao Cao's attack, but in order to win Wu County, he chose to take a gamble, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to come so fast.

Chu Feng brows upside down,

Although there were not many surprises, it was unavoidable that he was a little sullen in his heart. Cao Cao came anyway. It stands to reason that he should be preparing to attack Xuzhou.

"He's here after all, what does Zijing say?" Chu Feng's voice was cold and a little irritable.

"Zijing said that Shouchun is empty, and most of the defenders are new soldiers, while Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers are all elite and good at attacking fortifications, so let us return to the army."

Liu Ye said in a deep voice.

"Return to the army?" Chu Feng raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"

"My lord, Shouchun is my lord's foundation. If Shouchun is lost, how can my lord talk about hegemony? Ye thinks that a general can be stationed in Qu'a, and return to Shouchun for now."

"When Cao's army retreats, our army is in Tuwu County, so it's a surefire strategy!" Liu Ye cupped his fists and suggested.

"You also think you should retire from the army?" Chu Feng frowned.

"My lord, this is a major event, and Shouchun must not lose anything." Liu Ye was obviously a little unwilling to hear Chu Feng's words, and quickly persuaded him.

"Hehe!" Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and sneered.

How could he be willing to retire like this?What's more, if the army really retreats, how can leaving thousands of soldiers and horses guard against Sun Ce?Instead of this, it is better to punish it by design.
