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

Chapter 265 Moved westward to Guanzhong, Lu Xun planned to take Xiangyang

Guandu, inside Cao Ying.

Cao Cao looked at the letter from Jingzhou, and his originally happy face darkened instantly. He was happy because of Xu Huang's successful sneak attack on Yuan Shao's army.
In a blink of an eye, bad news came from Jingzhou.

"My lord, what happened in Jingzhou?" Guo Jia asked with a frown.

"That idiot Liu Biao, with an army of [-], allowed the Chu army to occupy Jiangxia so easily. It's really stupid!" Cao Cao said angrily, crumbling the letter into a ball.

"Jiang Xia is lost?" Guo Jia was surprised.

Cao Cao had a gloomy face and did not speak.

Although Chu Feng is now the great general of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao knew that this would be his greatest opponent, even surpassing Yuan Shao in front of him. The faster Chu Feng developed, the more panicked he would be.

"My lord, Liu Biao in Jingzhou is old and his military power has fallen to the side. Although he has an army of [-], he can't wield it like an arm. What's more, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses have been scattered for a long time, and they are definitely no match for the Chu army."

"I'm worried, Jingzhou Liu Biao can't bear the pressure! After all, Chu Feng is a descendant of the Yuan family, four generations and three princes, so Liu Biao can hardly stop the Chu army's offensive."

Guo Jia frowned and said solemnly.

"Is there a countermeasure?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

"No, our army's main task at the moment is to repel Yuan Shao, and we don't have the energy to control Chu Feng, nor dare we force it." Guo Jia said helplessly as he waved his hand.

"My lord, our army needs to deploy defenses in advance. I'm afraid it will be too late!" Xun You narrowed his eyes, his eyes were serious, it was worry.

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, before our army repelled Yuan Shao, the Chu army needed to send troops from Hefei, and it would take hundreds of miles. In this way, our army still has room to maneuver so that we will not be completely defeated."

"But if Chu Feng wins Jingzhou, then Xu will be under his blade, and there will be no danger to rely on. At that time, even if our army defeats Yuan Shao, it will only be a wedding dress for Chu Feng."

Xun You bowed and said in a deep voice.

Cao Cao nodded vigilantly. Nanyang is too close to Xudu. If Chu Feng really takes Jingzhou, he will be within his attack range.
You know, Chu Feng is not Liu Biao.

Chu Feng's ambition is in the world, and Liu Biao is a follower of success.

"What do you think?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

"Move the capital!" Xun You shouted loudly.

"Although Xudu has developed a high wall and a thick wall after several years, how can we talk about safety under the enemy's front?"

"Move the capital? Where to move?" Cao Cao frowned.

"Guanzhong, there is the old capital Chang'an in Guanzhong, and there are countless good fields in Guanzhong, which can support millions of people. Now in October, the order to relocate some of them is ordered at this moment, so that spring plowing can be done in Guanzhong next year."

"And there are several advantages to this relocation," he said.

"First, Guanzhong is surrounded by four passes, and there is no way for the Chu army to rush in. On the contrary, Wuguan can lead to Nanyang, and Hangu Pass can lead to the Central Plains. You can advance, attack, retreat, or defend!"

"Secondly, in the west of Guanzhong, you can take Liangzhou, which has the strongest cavalry. In the south, you can take Hanzhong and Yizhou, and enjoy the land of abundance. You can also advance, attack, retreat, or defend."

"Thirdly, if our army wins this battle, we can defend Chu Feng and Xuchang, pacify Hebei, dispatch and Luoyang, and then attack Chu Feng with the power of the world. If we lose, we won't be completely defeated!"

Xun You said in a deep voice.

He had already planned this matter, but before Chu Feng only had Yangzhou, the threat was not great, but if Jingzhou was really lost, it would be too late to move the capital.

Cao Cao pondered in his heart, hesitantly said: "Gongda, although this plan is good, but now we are in a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, will moving people from the rear at this moment shake the morale of the army?"

"It's inevitable!"

"My lord, those who do big things should not stick to small details. The advantages of moving the capital outweigh the disadvantages. Of course, there is no need to worry about moving the capital. The relocation must start, so that the next year's spring plowing will not be delayed."

Xun You bowed and exhorted.

"Emigration? But when the time comes, won't the common people complain a lot?" Cao Cao frowned. Migrating ordinary people is not easy to do.

"Your Majesty, worry too much. In Chenliu, Yingchuan, Chenguo and other places, there are aristocratic families all over the place, and the people are almost all tenant farmers, struggling to survive.

On the other hand, Guanzhong experienced the rebellions of Han Sui, Dong Zhuo, and Li Guo successively. There have been thousands of miles of desolate land, hundreds of miles of deserted people, a lot of fertile land that has been uncultivated, and a lot of houses that have been uninhabited.

The lord only needs to promise each of the migrating people two hundred acres of fertile land, and I'm sure they can run faster than soldiers! "Xun You said with a chuckle.

Hearing Xun You's suggestion, Cao Cao's eyes lit up. This is a good idea. You know, the lives of ordinary people are really not as good as dogs these days!

One household can be divided into two hundred acres, which is not a small amount. I am afraid that what Xun You said is true, and even soldiers may not be able to catch up!

"Let's do this, immediately write to Xun Yu to arrange the relocation, and to Zhong Yao, asking him to arrange for the people to settle down. Be sure to dare to complete it before the cold winter, and it must be fast."

Cao Cao arranged in a deep voice.

"No!" Guo Jia nodded.

----

Jian'an four years,

Early winter, mid-October.

Under Cao Cao's rule, people in several counties were arranged to start migrating. As Xun You said, most people heard that each household in Guanzhong has [-] acres of fertile land, and their legs and feet are so agile.

You know, what is the concept of two hundred acres of fertile land.

It's like you currently earn [-] a month, and if you change places, you can directly earn [-] a month. As long as the cerebellum is developed enough, most of them still know how to choose.

In the early stage, the immigrants were mainly in the three counties of Hanoi, Henan, and Yingchuan.

In addition to the three counties, Xun Yu also arranged for people to relocate the people in Qingzhou south of the Yellow River. After all, since the strategic layout is placed in Guanzhong, Qingzhou is too far away.

For a time, in the land of Gyeonggi, there were mostly common people along the way. These common people often walked quickly under the leadership of officers and soldiers, urging them to hurry up.

They also want to get to Guanzhong as soon as possible. They have heard that Guanzhong is fertile and fertile for thousands of miles. They look forward to the day when they have their own land, and Guanzhong is dangerous, so don't worry about it.

Of course, the emigration of Cao Cao's territory also attracted the attention of countless people. Many outsiders thought that it was a sign that Cao Cao would not be able to defeat Yuan Shao, so he relocated.
And Xun Yu gave the answer, Guanzhong is a thousand miles away, and the migrants added that this reason is credible or not, so that there are many rumors in the market that Cao Cao will be defeated.

----

Jingzhou, Jiangling City.

Jiangling was originally the state government of Jingzhou, but after Wang Rui died, Liu Biao took office, and moved the state government to Xiangyang because he was afraid of Yuan Shu's attacking Jingzhou.

Normally speaking, Xiangyang is more like a defense against the enemy.

Of course, both Jiangling and Xiangyang belong to Nanjun. Later Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Nanjun, about half of Nanjun.

As for Jiangling, although it is not a prefectural government, it is extremely rich. There are countless food, grass, ordnance, arrows, etc. in the city. It is estimated that so much is to supply the frontline soldiers to fight.

It's just that Chu Feng is cheaper now.

Huang Zu pretended to be his own man to open the city gate, but Jiangling's defense was weak, so it was easy to take it down, so that all the surrounding counties were afraid to resist.

Ever since, the Chu army gained a firm foothold in Jiangling.

In the city, the general's office.

Chu Feng was thinking about how to fight this battle.

Sha Xian kept 40,000 Chu troops plus [-] Huang Zu troops to prevent Liu Biao from drawing his salary from the bottom of the pot, and Jiangling's current strength is more than [-] soldiers and horses, which is not too much.

It may not be enough to win Jingzhou.

He has already arranged for people from Huifei to ask for help, and he is going to transfer the Central Army that has just been repaired not long ago, plus the trap camp. With these two strong troops joining, it will not be difficult to capture Jingzhou.

"Report~! My lord, there is news from Xiangyang that Liu Biao has appointed Liu Bei as the commander-in-chief, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and is marching south."

At this moment, the scout shouted.

In the first place, Chu Feng raised his eyebrows, slowly put down the letter in his hand, and said with a light smile, "Liu Bei dares to come, he is really an unbeatable Xiaoqiang!"

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead the army to take Liu Bei's head!" Zhao Fan clasped his fists and shouted.

"My lord, leave Guan Yu to me!" Xu Chu patted his chest and said excitedly.

"My lord, arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated, don't be careless!" Zhao Yun frowned and clasped his fists at this moment to advise: "I know Liu Bei, and I had social relations with him before when he was under Gongsun Zan's command."

"This person is good at employing people, and he can often make his subordinates survive from death."

Chu Feng nodded. Zhao Yun was indeed more of a Confucian general, and he was more careful in his work. Although Liu Bei pulled his hips, to underestimate his opponent was to destroy himself.

"Bo Yan, what do you think?" Chu Feng looked at Lu Xun, who had brought him from Hefei specially to act as his military advisor.

"My lord, the enemy may not only be in the north, but also in the south!" Lu Xun said, pointing to the map in the distance.

"Nan Mian? You mean Zhang Xian?" Chu Feng frowned, he really ignored it.

"Exactly, if he and Liu Biao are on the grasshopper on a rope, the lord will slow down, the two of them will be bloody, and the lord will attack quickly, and the two will fight together as a team."

"Now that my lord has captured Jiangling, I'm afraid Zhang Xian won't be able to sit still. He might join forces with Liu Bei at that time." Lu Xun said solemnly.

"That makes sense!" Chu Feng nodded, "Then what do you think?"

"My lord, the purpose of our army is to take Jingzhou, not to defeat Liu Bei. Jiangling is four or five hundred miles away from Xiangyang, and the journey is very long, and there is no water system directly leading to Xiangyang."

"Our army's infantry is only 20,000 people. When Liu Bei arrives and he joins Zhang Xian, it will be difficult for our army to win in a short time. Why not change our strategy?"

Lu Xun said in a deep voice.

"Change strategy? How to change?" Chu Feng asked curiously.

"My lord, the combination of Liu Bei and Zhang Xian's armies may be nearly [-] troops. Instead of attacking the enemy head-on, it is better to defend the city and stop it quietly. It seems that neither of them will take the initiative to attack the city."

"And Jiangling is the hinterland of Jingzhou. My lord only needs to leave one general to guard here and guard Liu Bei. There is just enough food here, and there are countless strong bows and sharp arrows. It is not difficult to defend."

"At the same time, my lord can let General Gan lead the boat division to detour north along the Han River, take Jingling directly, and then go straight to Xiangyang, and my lord will personally lead the infantry and cooperate with the water army to take Jingling."

"In this way, as long as our army takes Xiangyang, Liu Bei's army will have no support, and the other armies will be defeated without attack. Isn't it better than facing the enemy head-on?"

Lu Xun smiled lightly, his analysis was logical.

All the generals couldn't help but nodded. Liu Bei led a lot of troops this time, plus Liu Biao's troops in Changsha, there may be at least 50,000 people.

And Zhang Xian also has tens of thousands, and nearly 100,000 people just can't take advantage of it. Instead, it is indeed a good choice to use the advantage of the boat master to transfer to Hanshui.

"General Lu, although this plan is good, Xiangyang City has high walls and thick walls, and is known as a rare strong city in the world. Even if our army takes Jingling and goes to Xiangyang after all, how can we break the city?"

Zhao Fan frowned slightly.

"Hehe, although the city of Xiangyang is high and the walls are thick, the hearts of the people are not united, and some people will surrender at that time. What's more, the relationship between the lord and Nanyang Zhangxiu is close, and Zhang Xiu can cooperate with Zhangxiu to further siege the city,"

"At that time, with a little coercion and lure, those aristocratic families will naturally surrender. After Jingbei is captured, my lord will start to deal with Zhang Xian, so that Jingxiang can be fully occupied!"

Lu Xun explained heartily.

"That's well said, if you confuse Liu Biao with your strengths, you may be able to win in a single battle." Chu Feng said in admiration.
When the soldiers approached the city, she surrendered.

Thinking that the city defense of Xiangyang is in the hands of the Cai family, if the Cai family surrenders, Jingzhou will be stable.

If Liu Biao knew that the person next to him had already planned his death, I don't know how he would feel.

Sure enough, the most poisonous woman's heart.

"Gan Ning, immediately lead the boat division back to Shaxian at night, divert the Han River to the north, and I will join you in Jingling. As for the reinforcements from Hefei, they will all go north along the river."

Chu Feng said in a deep voice.

"Promise." Gan Ning clasped his fists immediately.

"Zhao Fan, you lead your troops and horses plus Huang Zu's infantry to guard this place. Remember, you can't go out of the city to fight, just defend the city with all your strength." Chu Feng confessed again.

"My lord, don't worry, people are here in the city!" Zhao Fan replied sonorously.

"Zhao Yun, Lu Xun, you and I will lead a few pawns across the way." Chu Feng arranged.

"No!" The two nodded.

"I will arrange people to visit Zhang Xiu in Nanyang later. It would be best for this battle to end before the deep winter." Chu Feng was somewhat hopeful, he was afraid that it would be too late.

Once there is a change in Guandu, it will be his own loss.

Moreover, his current line of defense is too long, spanning one or two thousand miles.

"We will do our best!" All the generals shouted in unison.

"Okay, let's all go down and prepare to go." Chu Feng waved his hands, looking at the leaving crowd, he fell into deep thought, hoping that Mrs. Cai would keep her word.

In this way, he doesn't mind being her new pillow person!
The premise is that her Cai family must know how to hide, and he will not be controlled by others like Liu Biao.

-

On the night of that day, the Chu army's boat division started to sail down the river, turning back to Shaxian, and preparing to enter the Han River.

And Chu Feng will lead [-] special forces members, and Lu Xun, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu and others will cross to Jingling, but the way to Jingling may have to pass through water swamps, miasma, and poisonous fog, which are quite a lot.

Both require extreme care!
----

Dangyang, Changbanpo.

On the official road, there are mighty soldiers.

Twenty thousand was given by Liu Biao, three thousand was trained by Liu Bei himself, and there were more than 20,000 troops in Jiangling.

This made Liu Bei very happy.

He had never been so happy in his life.

It is comfortable to be the commander-in-chief of [-] to [-] soldiers and horses.

"How far away!" Liu Bei tried to ask after looking around, but he couldn't see the boundary clearly.

"Brother, we have already arrived in Dangyang, and we will reach Jiangling in about one or two hundred miles." Guan Yu said in a deep voice, stroking his beard and looking at Liu Bei.

"Military division, Jiangling is now occupied by the Chu army. I wonder if the military division has a good plan to defeat the enemy?" Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu and asked.

"Don't be in a hurry for the time being. Be careful along the way to prevent the Chu army from ambush. When the time comes, you will naturally have a way to defeat the enemy." Xu Shu felt a little confident.

Liu Bei nodded, excitedly said: "The order is passed on, the three armies are advancing at full speed!"
