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

Chapter 248 Xu You, who was fooled and lame!
Jian'an four years, mid-June.

The battle at Guandu was almost at a standstill. Cao Cao had too few soldiers to take the initiative to attack the stronghold, so he could only look for a good opportunity, but Yuan Shao had to stop fighting because of Chu Feng.

There is no way, everyone in the army is discussing that Chu Feng will invade from the Qingzhou Plain and approach Yecheng, Yuan Shao is also a little worried about this, and specially sent someone to emergency Yuan Tan overnight,
Asking him to beware of Chu Feng crossing the border, Yuan Tan took it seriously, and sent scouts to investigate within a hundred miles of the south bank of the Yellow River overnight, but he didn't find even a single hair of the Chu army.

----

Xiapi, will be in the house.

Chu Feng knocked his feet on the table and was leisurely eating the watermelon chilled with well water. Good guy, it tastes like a sandy sweetness, which is extremely rare in this era of material scarcity.

"My lord, this melon is really sweet!"

Xu Chu ate several slices in a row, and said in a naive voice.

"Does Yuan Jun have any moves?" Chu Feng raised his eyebrows and asked while eating melons. However, he was very annoyed by the weather, and the high temperature was unbearable without an air conditioner.

It is at this time that people experience heat, and future generations will burp their farts!
"It is said that the front of Guandu, the two armies have stopped attacking, I am afraid it has something to do with our army's claim to go north." Zhang Liao said.

"Stagnation?" Chu Feng pondered,
After pondering for a moment, Chu Feng said: "Well, let the three legions set off immediately and start heading north. Remember, you can fight as many flags as you can fucking fight."

"There is also a camp. Be sure to build a big and strong prison for me. You only need to pretend to be upright and arrogant along the way."

"My lord, it's dog days now, and the heat is unbearable. Is it right now that I'm leaving for the north? Besides, isn't our military target Jingzhou?"

Zhang Liao frowned, puzzled.

They knew that it was a joke that Ying Yuan went north, and it was not really a promise to Cao Cao to go north, it was just a gimmick, but why looked at Chu Feng's situation,

Want to really support Beishang?
"Haha, no, no, it's just because it's dog days now, so it's even more necessary to pretend. Although Yuan Shao can't commandeer, but the talented people under his command are like crucian carp crossing the river, I don't know how many are there!"

"If our army really intends to go north to attack Yuan Shao, then we will definitely seize the opportunity. How can we care about the dog days? But if our army is just acting, we will definitely stay in the summer."

"If you were Yuan Shao's counselor, how could you not know the situation when you see our army standing still? Even if we negotiate at that time, the intensity of extortion will be greatly reduced!"

Chu Feng chuckled, and threw away the watermelon rind in his hand.

"My lord's strategizing is really high. Taking retreat as an advance can just make it difficult for Yuan Shao's envoy to distinguish the truth from the fake, so as to defraud our army of more benefits."

Lu Meng sighed with admiration.

He asked himself, he learned more and more things from Chu Feng's side, especially his cunning, he didn't look like a young man in his twenties.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is scheming.

"Ahem, Ziming's words are wrong. How can this be a lie? This is called a white lie." Chu Feng coughed lightly, talking nonsense in a serious manner.

"My lord, didn't our army agree to Cao Cao's support? Would it be unethical to do so?" Tai Shici frowned slightly.

"Seeking skin from a tiger, how can we talk about morality? What's more, our army is taking the initiative today, so they are walking on thin ice. If our army takes the passive position in the future, who will consider us?"

"What's more, I agreed to Cao Cao's bluff, and I didn't break my promise. At worst, we also agreed to Yuan Jun. Anyway, we don't need to send troops. Both sides are happy to see it."

Chu Feng shrugged, he had seen the scene thoroughly.

All the generals nodded one after another. They absolutely supported Chu Feng's shameless behavior.
"Haha, let me tell you, it's useless to think about those things. Let's think about it quickly. What can we do to blackmail Yuan Shao? This person is much richer than Cao Cao."

Lu Meng smiled heartily.

"Yes, yes, food, money, beauties, etc. are fine!" Xu Chuweng said in a low voice.

"I heard that Yuan Jun's armor is complete, so why not ask for armor and ordnance." Tai Shici also spoke.

"No, no, what our army lacks most at the moment is war horses. Yuan Shao goes north to Wuhuan, and there are countless war horses under his command. Let's blackmail one or two thousand horses."

Zhang Liao said excitedly, he is an Iron Cavalry Legion with an establishment of 5000 people, but the whole army has a complete establishment, but the addition of horses does not exceed [-] horses.

It's so poor.

As long as you can blackmail some war horses to come over, your cavalry army will be worthy of its name.

"It's too small, Wen Yuan, your situation is too small. Where can you get a thousand or two thousand horses? After this battle, your iron cavalry army will be settled."

"At that time, I will give you a few more treasures, so that your cavalry will take off like iron cavalry." Chu Feng stroked his beard and smiled lightly, he felt that he felt too guilty.

There is a sense of déjà vu of an ugly country during World War II.

I am extorting between two families, and the key is to be extorted, unless the two families do not practice martial arts and engage themselves together, but the probability of this is too low.

"My lord, what treasure?" Zhang Liao became interested in an instant. He was born in the frontier army, so he naturally knew how powerful the cavalry was, but he had never heard of any cavalry treasure.

"Of course you will know when the blackmailing cavalry arrives!" Chu Feng chuckled.
But in my mind, I thought of the three-piece set for the horse, Takahashi saddle, horseshoe, stirrup, these few kinds of equipment with little technical content.

It is almost something that the protagonist in every time travel novel must invent, but Chu Feng has not made it out for a long time, because he is not like some idiots who only have a few hundred cavalry under his command to make this thing.
You know, this thing can't be hidden. To put it bluntly, you can tell the principle at a glance. What's the use of hundreds of cavalry?Once learned by frontier soldiers or barbarians,
That would be a nightmare,
It can only be said that on the basis of not having the vast majority of war horses, Chu Feng would not foolishly play with this thing, because doing so would only lift a rock to shoot himself in the foot.

Even if there were this batch of war horses, Chu Feng didn't really want to get them out, but after much deliberation, he decided to cover them with the whole army, because he must have iron cavalry if he wanted to dominate the Central Plains.

What I lack most now is iron cavalry. I must increase the combat effectiveness of iron cavalry, and after such a long period of precipitation, Liannu has produced another batch.

He has a plan in mind, light cavalry, heavy cavalry!
Light cavalry can wear cloth armor for horses and soldiers, which is light and can also defend against arrows, and then equipped with continuous crossbows and swords, mainly for harassment and pursuit.

Cloth armor can increase survivability,

Repeating crossbows can increase strike ability,

The heavy cavalry needs to wear armor for the horse, which is very expensive to manufacture, and the industrial level of the Three Kingdoms will be very slow to build the armor for the horse.

However, the heavy cavalry is mainly used to break the formation, and the number does not need to be too large.

These two are the focus of Chu Feng's next development. After all, a boat master is definitely not bad, and what is needed to dominate the world is iron cavalry, otherwise don't even think about it.

Seeing that Chu Feng was unwilling to speak, Zhang Liao was also a little anxious.

"Don't worry, you will naturally know that with these few things, the cavalry's horse training can be shortened from a few years to a few months."

"At that time, supplemented with Liannu and cloth armor, such a light cavalry will be invincible and unstoppable." Chu Feng said with a bit of longing.

To be honest, he is also looking forward to the day when he becomes an army,
His central army must extend a cavalry, so it feels like galloping on the battlefield!
The more Chu Feng said, the more anxious Zhang Liao became. He really wanted to know what this thing was, after all, he had never heard of something that could improve the iron cavalry quickly.

In particular, several years of hard training can be shortened to several months, ten times the efficiency, which is undoubtedly a great temptation for a cavalry commander like him.

"Okay, Lu Meng, you lead your troops first and serve as the forward of our army. Tai Shici, you follow me in the center. Remember, this is not just for show, it's just training!"

Chu Feng was solemn again, raised his hand and said.

"No!" Everyone nodded in unison.
----

June, mid to late.

In the dog days, the scorching sun scorched the earth and the heat was unbearable.

On the official road, there was an army winding around and heading north, but the weather also attracted a group of people complaining.

Of course, except for the Central Army.

The Central Army is the trump card army of the Chu Army. It is composed of elites who have fought in hundreds of battles. There are only ten thousand soldiers in total. These soldiers are all killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.
Every soldier can serve as at least a corps leader in other armies.

The rest, whether it is the Lu Meng Army or the Tai Shici Army, are newly established, and almost all of them are recruits, who have not experienced the baptism of war, which is almost meaningless.

However, Lu Meng cares little about raising soldiers, is proficient in military training, and the cohesion of the recruits under his command is much stronger than that of Tai Shici. Chu Feng sees all of this.

There is a reason why he appointed Tai Shici as the commander of the four major armies, because this person is a surrendered general, and the other three, Lu Su and Zhao Fan, are confidantes, and Lu Meng was not well-known at first.

Only Tai Shici, he is a general.

If he appoints Lu Xun or others as the head of the army, in the eyes of outsiders, he, Chu Feng, is a crony monarch, and there is no way out for him to join him.

However, Tai Shici did have a way of training archers, and the strong archers under his command could be said to be more than a little stronger than other legions.

In the distance, a group of people came on horseback.

It was Xu You who came, and he saw the Chu army winding forward from a long distance away.

"Chu Feng actually mobilized troops?"

Xu You frowned, stroked his beard and lifted his eyes. He never expected that Chu Feng would actually use his troops. Moreover, looking at the flag and the array, he definitely went north.

"Go, go up to make contact, and say that I am Yuan Shao's envoy, and ask to see the general." Xu You said to the side.

He came here for peace talks, absolutely must not allow Chu Feng to continue going north, otherwise Yuan Shao may not be able to win two against one.

"No!" The entourage rushed forward, and was stopped for questioning after a while.

"You, immediately take my seal and fly to Pingyuan to look for General Yuan Tan, and tell him that the Chu army has reached Lanling and is approaching Pingyuan, so he should get ready."

Xu You exhorted and confessed again.

"No!" Another relative followed the horse and left.

Xu You pursed his chapped lips, looked up at the bright sun, "March in dog days, it seems that things are not so simple!"

After a while, he came back with him personally and told that it was Lu Meng's army, and that he was gone, which made Xu You more sure that Chu Feng and Cao Cao were in collusion.

"This is the front army, go around and follow me to the middle army, and ask to see Chu Feng." Xu You beat his horse and shouted cruelly.

Immediately, a dozen or so relatives followed Xu You around, approaching the Chu army's middle army.

----

Half an hour later, the group ran for more than thirty miles.

"Shut up!"

Xu You rode his horse and really saw Chu Feng's army. This time he met with him personally. After revealing his identity many times, the soldiers notified him, and finally took him there.

Looking at several burly generals with heroic faces, Xu You smiled flatteringly: "Xu You, the military advisor under Yuan Gong's tent in Xiahebei, asks to see General Chu. I don't know who are some of them?"

"My next one is Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Tai Shici, and Xu Chu," the four of them reported their names one after another, and they all followed the procedures required by Chu Feng.

Xu You took a deep breath when he heard the names of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and others. These people are all well-known generals in the army, and none of them are good.
This made him more certain that he judged Chu Feng's message of going north, and he must not be allowed to go north, otherwise his lord would be in danger.

"My lord is not available for an interview at the moment, so please tell us if you have anything to say." Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

"This matter is of great importance, and I would like to ask the general to report it on my behalf." Xu You begged with a distressed expression, clasping his hands.

"My lord doesn't have time right now. If you really want to ask for an interview, then just wait. He will meet my lord when he finishes his work," Zhang Liao said.

"This" Xu You couldn't be dealt with.

But now that the situation is urgent, he can only agree.

In the end, he agreed to wait, and Zhang Liao arranged for a group of soldiers to follow him every step of the way to prevent him from stealing information. Xu You didn't say anything about it.

After joining the army, Xu You became more solemn.

Because he found that the Chu army was strictly disciplined and prohibited by order. Even in such a hot weather, they didn't complain at all, which was impossible in Yuan Jun's camp.

The key point is that he can see the cold fighting spirit in the eyes of these Chu soldiers. Obviously, these soldiers crawled out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses, and they are all elites.

For three days in a row, Xu You asked to see him many times, but Chu Feng refused all of them because he had no time.

However, he also occasionally learned some information from these people, such as surprise raids on the plains, the division of troops into white horses, where Cao's army will meet, and so on.

These messages were all whispers between soldiers. In Xu You's view, these were really untrue information, which made him even more frightened.

In short, from the suspicion when he first came to the certainty at this moment, he can swear that Chu Feng is definitely going to fight Hebei, and the ones who come are still elite.

At night, bonfires burn.

In a tent, Xu You wrote down some things, such as the strength and capacity of the Chu army, including some possible strategic layouts.

The only thing that made him rejoice was that Chu Feng just didn't meet him, and didn't drive him away.

"Can the envoy be in the camp?"

Outside the tent, there was a vague conversation.

Xu You hurriedly put away the recorded parchment, opened the tent, and saw Xu Chu: "What's the matter, General?"

"My lord promised to see you, let's go!"

Xu Chu was a little impatient, and went straight ahead after speaking.

Xu You chose to forgive this kind of vulgarity of the warrior, and followed straight behind, but when he arrived at the Chu army camp, he heard the sound of laughter inside, and then a scribe came out.

Chu Feng even saw him off in person,

The scribe looked at Xu You vigilantly, and left without saying a word.

Chu Feng's smiling face instantly darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "You are Xu You?"

"Return to the general, it is the next!"

"Come in and talk!" Chu Feng forced Gela's thief Gao to turn around and return the account.
