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

Chapter 274 Armistice, Relocation

"Thank you for the promotion, my lord." Jia Xu said excitedly.

"Wenhe, now that the traitor Liu Bei is occupying Jiangling, you are resourceful and resourceful. In your opinion, what should you do!" Chu Feng asked tentatively.

"My lord, Liu Bei claims to be a clan member of the Han family. Now that Liu Biao has been killed, he will let his servants list him as Jingzhou shepherd and report to the court."

"And Liu Bei has always been ambitious. Now he has annexed Liu Biao's army and Zhang Xian's army. He is already strong and strong."

"At this moment, he definitely wants to stabilize Jingnan first, and then fight the lord north and south. In my opinion, Liu Bei should be eradicated before the beginning of spring to secure Jingxiang!"

Jia Xu cupped his hands and offered a sincere suggestion.

"That's right. Liu Bei is a fierce tiger. You must get rid of him. I intend to send troops soon. Even in the cold winter, I will get rid of Liu Bei just in case."

Chu Feng nodded and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" Zhao Fan clasped his fists to fight immediately upon hearing this, with hatred in his eyes, he wanted to avenge the dead soldiers.

"Certainly, you lead three thousand pawns as the forward, but you need to remember, don't be blinded by hatred, I don't want to see you make a mistake once."

Chu Feng solemnly exhorted.

"My lord, don't worry, the last general will never make mistakes." Zhao Fan nodded, apologetic in his heart, he knew that Chu Feng wanted him to perform meritorious service and return to his previous position.

In the previous defeat, it would not be an exaggeration to kill him, and the relegation was even more reasonable, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public, but Zhao Fan could feel Chu Feng's cultivation intention for him.

In any case, this time will not let him down.

Seeing that Zhao Fan was only a vanguard, and the rest of the generals were reluctant to invite the battle, it was obvious that Chu Feng wanted to go out in person, so the invitation to the battle at this moment was somewhat unclear about the situation.

"Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, and others set off with the army. I will lead the army and attack and kill Liu Bei." Chu Feng said solemnly.

"No!" All the generals responded in unison.

"Cai Mao, most of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou are under your control, this time you lead your troops to accompany you." Chu Feng said again.

"Take orders!" Cai Mao nodded.

"Lu Xun listens to the order, and you will lead your troops to garrison Xiangyang to frighten the young people. Anyone who takes the opportunity to make trouble will be punished!" Chu Feng looked at Lu Xun again and said.

"No!" Lu Xun nodded, and continued: "My lord, you must be careful this time, Xu Shu is not easy!"

"Hehe, Xu Shu is naturally not simple, but he can't be used by Liu Bei after all." Chu Feng smiled lightly: "Zhang Xiu, will Xu Shu's mother pick it up?"

"It's in the city!" Zhang Xiu nodded.

"Be good at taking care of her, don't be negligent. In addition, send a fast horse to Jingnan and tell Xu Shu that his mother is still in Xiangyang. Tell him that Xiangyang may not be peaceful recently!"

The corners of Chu Feng's mouth curled up. Although things were not bright enough, he was a handsome man who would do anything for victory, let alone for the people of Jingzhou.

"The lord wants to use his mother as a threat?" Zhao Yun frowned, slightly displeased with this method.

"It's not a threat. Even if he doesn't come back, I won't really do anything to his mother, but it's better if he comes back. The big man people have suffered enough, let's end it sooner!"

Chu Feng shrugged and said righteously.

"My lord, what if he doesn't come back?" Jia Xu asked curiously, mainly because he felt that Chu Feng was very confident that Xu Shu would come back, which was very strange.

"Don't worry, he will come!" Chu Feng chuckled.

"Okay, let's all go down and get ready. This time the Central Army, Zhao Fan's troops, Gao Shun's troops, Zhang Xiu's troops, and Cai Mao's troops are going out to fight, and stay behind to ensure the safety of Jingzhou."

Chu Feng waved his hand. To be honest, he really didn't take Liu Bei seriously.

"No!" Everyone agreed in unison.

After finishing speaking, watch everyone retreat!
"Xu Chu, go and prepare some money, cloth, and vegetables. Follow me to see Xu Shu's mother. This person has a great talent. Whether he can be used by me depends on his mother."

Chu Feng pondered slightly.

"No!" Xu Chu nodded: "By the way, my lord, Zhang Xiu also caught Zhuge Liang according to your request. Did you see him? It is said that this kid is very quiet."

"Zhuge Liang? Hehe, send him some books and send someone to look at them carefully. I won't see you for now." Chu Feng chuckled. He didn't need to use Zhuge Liang at this time.

Let him study the sage books for two more years.

----

After a while, in a courtyard.

From far away, you can see the smoke from the cooking in the small courtyard. The courtyard is not big, but it is tidy and clean, and there are still a lot of chopping materials piled up next to it that can be used.

Pushing open the courtyard door, Chu Feng entered.

"Who are you!" An old woman about 50 years old heard the movement.

"Ma'am, my name is Chu Feng, I came here specially to see you, and I'll bring you some food by the way." Chu Feng picked up the rice noodles and meat that he bought.

"Chu Feng? Are you the Duke of Chu in Yangzhou?" The old woman showed some suspicion.

"Yes ma'am!" Chu Feng smiled and nodded.

"Hurry up, come and sit in the house. The old lady has nothing to entertain you. I happened to cook some porridge. If Duke Chu doesn't mind, let's eat some together."

The old woman was a little excited.

"Okay, I'm just hungry. But ma'am, I'm not being fair. You are an elder, so just call me Xiaofeng. Your son and I are also friends."

Chu Feng smiled lightly and said with concern.

"Damn, you deserve it! In today's world, there are not many people who are dedicated to serving the people. Although the old woman can't walk anymore, some old friends in Yangzhou say that you are a good man, Duke Chu!"

"Serving the people wholeheartedly, punishing rape and eradicating evil, is the benefactor of our common people. I also heard that in Yangzhou, no common people said anything about you, Mr. Chu!"

"Every household has set up longevity plaques for you, Duke Chu. The words of the common people can't be wrong! If it weren't for the old woman's inconvenient legs, she would have gone to Yangzhou a long time ago!"

The old woman patted Chu Feng's palm excitedly and said.

"Hehe," Chu Feng chuckled.

The feeling of being recognized by the people is still very cool, at least it proves that my efforts are worthwhile, and history will witness all this.

He believes that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

"Look, I'm too busy talking. Hurry up, come into the room to warm up. I'll serve the porridge!" The old woman hurriedly led Chu Feng in from the bottom of her heart.

After a while, two bowls of rice porridge came.

There were a few vegetable leaves in the rice porridge, and the old woman wiped her hands and said with embarrassment: "Don't be disgusted, there are no delicious treats."

"Ma'am, you're joking. The world is being tormented by the flames of war today. Countless people don't even have this bowl of rice porridge, even rice soup. Why do you hate it?"

Chu Feng's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his expression was solemn,
Although he is greedy and lustful, but in the face of national justice, he is absolutely unambiguous: "One day, I, Chu Feng, will make the people no longer suffer from hunger and hunger, and will make them rich and stable."

"Hmm!" The old woman nodded heavily.

Then, while eating pickles and drinking rice porridge, Chu Feng was very satisfied, without any pretensions of a feudal lord, instead he looked like a child of a common people.

"Xiao Feng, do you have a child?" Seeing that Chu Feng was eating so well, the old woman lost a little distance and asked proactively.

"There is one!" Chu Feng replied.

"What's your name!"

"Chu'an, the word Chu, is composed of the word Linkou in oracle bone inscriptions, which means to build a new home. An symbolizes the peace of the country and the people, living and working in peace and contentment."

"Choosing this name means that I will rebuild the homes of the Han people, so that their country will live in peace and the people will live in peace!" Chu Feng revealed a firmness between the lines.

"Okay, good name!" the old woman affirmed.

"But listen to me, your surname is not Chu, but a descendant of the Yuan family!"

"Auntie, it is enough for the world to know that I am the heir of the Yuan family. After all, if I really want to use the Yuan surname, there will be more constraints." Chu Feng said meaningfully.

The Yuan surname is certainly good, but what Chu Feng thought was that he could take advantage of Yuan's surname and not be completely manipulated by the aristocratic family. After all, it is not easy to be the boss of the aristocratic family.

What's more, I am not Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng is dead!

The old woman nodded half-understood, she didn't bother to dwell on these things, she just smiled and squinted her eyes, brimming with happiness: "The people of Jingzhou are most blessed to have you!"

The two chatted briefly for a while, and then Chu Feng left. He still had to deal with Jingzhou's government affairs. As for the army, the grain and grass would leave on the same day, and the pioneers would leave tomorrow.

----

At Guandu, the Cao and Yuan battalions confront each other.

In order to break into the opponent's camp, the two sides piled up mountains, dug tunnels, and catapults. Various tactics of exhausted troops emerged in an endless stream. It can be said that they did everything they could.

As a result, every inch of the camp was stained with the blood of the enemy or our own soldiers.

However, because the winter in the Central Plains is not like that in the south of the Yangtze River, the winter in the Central Plains is cold, and at this moment the world is also covered with heavy snow, wrapped in a layer of silver.

Cao Ying, in the handsome tent.

The bonfire is crackling and burning!

Below, the scouts were babbling about something, and everyone in the tent who listened became serious and lost in thought, because the news was not a good thing for them.

"Liu Biao is a piece of trash, no, he's even worse than a piece of shit. In just a few months, he gave the huge Jingzhou to Chu Feng,"

"That's it, I still boast that Jingxiang is the eight handsome, but I think Jingxiang is the eight ugly, it's really ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!" Cao Cao said, his voice was gnashing his teeth.

He hated Liu Biao.

There is no cure for this idiot.

"My lord, fortunately, Gongda had expected to move people into Guanzhong, otherwise our army would be more passive." Guo Jia said in a serious voice.

Cao Cao nodded approvingly, Jingzhou fell into the hands of Chu Feng, and Nanyang to Xuchang, if it was just a embankment against Chu Feng, it would be fine, but there is still Yuan Shao.

Originally Chu Feng was only in Yangzhou, but now that he is directly threatening Xu Chang, with a sharp sword hanging over his head, how can he not be nervous in such a situation.

"My lord, now that there is heavy snow, it is becoming more and more difficult to transport food, and it is getting less and less. The soldiers are suffering from hunger and cold, and there are already complaints in the camp. You need to pay attention!"

Xun You said in a deep voice.

Army rations are the foundation of the three armies and cannot be broken!
Cao Cao frowned, and he knew the same thing in his mind, but right now the road is blocked by heavy snow, and the cycle of transporting food is long, and every time he consumes too much on the way, it is extremely unfavorable for the war.

"What do you think we should do now?" Cao Cao looked around the crowd and asked about the current battle situation.

Guo Jia and Xunyou looked at each other, and the former said in a deep voice, "Master, Chu Feng occupies Jiangxia, Nanyang, and most of Nanjun, but Liu Bei occupies Jiangling and the entire Jingnan."

"Now, Liu Bei's apparent strength is not much weaker than Chu Feng's, and there are millions of people in Jingnan. As long as he can survive the next year, it will not be easy for Chu Feng to win Liu Bei!"

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao frowned, and said in a disdainful tone, "That's the case, but Liu Bei is full of benevolence and morality, how can he win?"

"My lord, as far as I know, Liu Bei has found a counselor, Xu Shu. This person is proficient in battle formations and strategies. He defeated Chu Feng's number one general in the first battle. He is a genius."

"With this person around, it might not be easy for Chu Feng to defeat Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's subordinate Guan Yu and other powerful generals can complement each other and have the strength to fight!"

Guo Jiashu said.

"I hope!" Cao Cao didn't trust Liu Bei's ability too much.

"My lord, there is no doubt that Chu Feng will unify Jingzhou first. As for whether Liu Bei can stop Chu Feng, it is still unknown, but our army must prepare for the worst."

"If Chu Feng put down Liu Bei before the beginning of spring, then what's the point of our army fighting Yuan Shao and Guandu?" Xun You asked directly, stroking his beard.

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded.

Indeed, if he had defeated Yuan Shao head-on before, he could have used Shanyue to hold Chu Feng back, but now, Chu Feng occupies Nanyang and other places in Jingzhou,

In addition, Xuzhou's Xiapi had already formed a pincer attack on the Central Plains. In such a situation, even if Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he would turn his head and fight Chu Feng.

Although Cao's army is strong, there is no chance of winning with one enemy and two.

Cao Cao pondered, and gradually nodded. Indeed, after Chu Feng took Jingzhou, it would not be beneficial for him to occupy the Central Plains again. Instead, he would have to face the pincer attacks of Yuan Shao and Chu Feng.

"What about Gongda's opinion?" Cao Cao asked.

"The same as before, withdraw from the Central Plains and enter the main pass. The lord can even send a surprise army to take Hanzhong directly, and overlook the Central Plains according to the danger of the four passes."

"When the time comes, practice soldiers and horses, save money and food, and quietly watch the North-South War. Yuan Sheng, my lord will go out of Wuguan to take Jingzhou. Chu Sheng, my lord will go out of Hangu Pass to go straight to Hebei."

Xun You clasped his fists, sonorous and powerful.

After listening to Xun You finished speaking, Guo Jia nodded in approval and retreated to Guanzhong. Although he would give up some things, he had the initiative in the war.

"It's good to move the capital, but those aristocratic civil servants may not be willing to give up their family property to follow!" Cao Cao hesitated. The foundation of the aristocratic family is the land, and changing the lord is nothing to them.

"My lord, if the ways are different, we should not conspire with each other. What's more, the lord has Emperor Han, and people with lofty ideals will definitely gather. The ten thousand hectares of fertile land in Guanzhong belong to the lord, and they can be distributed at will."

"As for some losses, this is unavoidable. This situation should be cut quickly." Xun You said solemnly and forcefully.

"That's up to you," Cao Cao asked.

"A truce with Yuan Shao will do us no good if the war continues. After the truce, try to move the people to the pass, and the Hangu Pass is broken, so we can build a new pass!"

Xun You said in a deep voice.

"What if Yuan Shao disagrees with the truce?" Cao Cao frowned.

"No, he will agree. At worst, give them some benefits first, such as assigning Qingzhou and Xuzhou to them first, to show his sincerity." Xun You said.

"It's winter now, when will the people move?" Cao Cao asked.

"Move out now, and move out all the young men, women, and children under the rule. Unless the old people can keep up with the severe cold, they will not be allowed!"

Xun You said in a deep voice.

"This..." Everyone gasped, what a ruthless method, such a winter relocation, at least [-]% of them would die on the road, but in order to catch up with the spring plowing in the coming year, there seemed to be no other way.

"Stop the war and relocate!"

Cao Cao hesitated for a long time before speaking.

The current situation does not allow him to fight any longer, so there is only a glimmer of hope.
