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

Chapter 368 Changes in Yizhou, a decisive battle on the South Bank!
Yizhou, within the city of Chengdu.

Liu Zhang looked nervous, looked around at his subordinates, and asked again: "Everyone, Xia Houyuan has submitted his final letter, saying that if I don't send out the food and grass, he will break through my pass and seize my state and county!"

Hearing this, all civil and military people reacted differently.

"My lord, Xia Houyuan is Cao Cao's general. He fought dozens of battles in the south and the north. He was so powerful that he was invincible. His subordinates thought it would be better to spend a hundred thousand stones, food, and grass to settle the matter!"

A scribe quickly suggested.

"That's right, my lord, that Xia Houyuan was known as the number one general under Cao Cao's command, and it's unknown how many people died under his command, and the Qingzhou soldiers he led were even the elite under Cao Cao's command. Obviously, he wanted to take pictures of our prefecture."

Another document followed with a postscript.

In the eyes of these people, it doesn't matter who rules, the most important thing is that their interests will not be affected.

"Hmph, are you afraid of Cao Cao or are you taking advantage of Cao Cao? My lord sits in the land of abundance, has hundreds of thousands of people under his command, and occupies the advantages of mountains and rivers. How can he be afraid of Cao Cao?"

Zhang Song shook his sleeves and snorted coldly, with disdain in his words.

But whether it is Zhang Song or Fazheng, they have been slandered by Cao Cao before, their reputation has been damaged, and they cannot be trusted by Liu Zhang.

"My lord, what Zhang Biejia said is very true. It is beneficial for our army to occupy the mountains and rivers. It should be that we take the initiative. How can we be restrained by Ru? What's more, Chu Feng has repeatedly contacted our army to form an alliance and go north."

"At this moment, Chu Feng is fighting with Cao Cao against Luoyang, and against Yuan Shao against Puyang. If we don't take this opportunity to recover Hanzhong, once Chu Feng is defeated, we will have no chance to fight against Cao Jun again!"

Fazheng also looked at Liu Zhang with burning eyes and said.

In the past, his trip to Yangzhou had already made him feel like he belonged, and he had long wanted to return to Chu Feng, but he promised Chu Feng to make some contributions in Yizhou, but instead of making contributions in Yizhou, he put himself Stuck.

"Hmph, I think it's Zhang Song who has ulterior motives, right?"

"It's just that the people in Yizhou are very kind. No one wants to go north and fight Cao Jun in a waste of money. What's more, Cao Cao and Chu Feng are heroes. No matter who wins, they will never abandon Yizhou."

"That's right, sending troops to Hanzhong this time will only result in fierce retaliation from Cao Cao, which is absolutely impossible."

All of a sudden, all civil servants bombarded with cannons.

Liu Zhang was deep in thought at the moment, and he didn't know who to believe. After all, what the two of them said made sense, but he was always timid and timid, and he didn't want to provoke Cao Cao too much.
It was also like this that he didn't listen to Chu Feng's alliance to go north, but instead wanted to make a decision.

To put it bluntly, he just didn't want to offend both parties, and enjoyed as much as he could.

"Everyone's words are reasonable, but I am worried that if we send out the food, we will become an enemy instead, and let them have military food to attack us. Wouldn't it be shooting ourselves in the foot?"

Liu Zhang frowned and said with some concern.

Hearing this, Zhang Songfa was frowning, hating in his heart that Liu Zhang was so timid, he didn't dare to fight against such a situation, instead he wanted to give Cao Cao food,
The key thing to think about is to give food to fear that Cao Cao will continue to beat him!
Impressed!

Compared with Chu Feng, Liu Zhang is really not worthy.

The eyes of the other civil and military officials brightened, and they could clearly see that Liu Zhang wanted to pay for food, so he immediately said, "My lord, you don't have to worry too much, just think about it, if Cao Cao really wanted to capture Yizhou, then he would How can it expose the attempt to capture Yizhou?"

"You know, Xia Houyuan has [-] troops, but no one has ever known about it. I always thought that Cao Cao sent troops to Luoyang. If he didn't inform, the [-] troops might have already broken through and closed the door!"

"That's right, the reason why Cao Cao put it on the bright side is that he is obviously preparing to mobilize troops to attack Luoyang. This can be seen from the fact that Chu Feng has sent envoys to invite the Lord to go north."

"Therefore, Cao Cao asked Xia Houyuan to ask for military rations, probably because the rations were insufficient on one side, and he wanted to supplement the military rations so that he could fight Chu Feng to the death!" Another person analyzed.

Hearing this, Liu Zhang squinted his eyes immediately. He had to say that what the two men said made some sense. He didn't know that Xia Houyuan was in Hanzhong at first, and even assembled an army of [-].

If he didn't say anything and made a surprise attack, he might have already lost many passes.

Now, on the bright side, it is nothing more than telling myself that it will be safe with food.

Thinking about this, Liu Zhang couldn't help nodding,

Seeing this, Fazheng immediately persuaded him: "My lord, don't be confused. The thief Cao is determined to kill me in Yizhou. If he gives food this time, he will not only lose the prestige of our army, but also show weakness!"

"With such a great opportunity, our army should go north with Chu Feng, otherwise Chu Feng will be defeated, how can Yizhou survive?"

"Xiao Zhi, what you said is not unreasonable, but Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have been defeated by Chu Feng time and time again, and he is not Chu Feng's opponent this time, so we don't have to worry about it!"

Liu Zhang stroked his beard, properly and vividly interpreting love.

Fazheng: "???"

"My lord, you are so confused! Neither Cao nor Yuan is Chu Feng's opponent, but now that the two have joined forces, the strength of the two of them alone is nearly 300,000."

"Furthermore, as far as I know, Yuan Shao also summoned the chiefs of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan tribes to help out. At least there are tens of thousands of cavalry, almost 500,000 troops. Even if Chu Feng has the power to surpass the sky, he is still invincible!"

Fazheng defended hysterically.

"Fazheng, why do you feel at ease? Ever since you went to Yangzhou and came back, you have been talking to Chu Feng everywhere. Could it be that you secretly voted for this person?" A scribe asked with a cold snort.

"You, don't spit blood!"

"Hehe, you naturally know what Fa Xiaozhi thinks, but remember, war is not just a joke. One hundred thousand shi is not much food, and the people in Yizhou who can exchange it are safe and stable."

"Once the war starts, Yizhou will be exhausted. At that time, men will fight and women will be transported, and the food lost will be calculated in millions of shi. Compared with it, why bother to go on an expedition?"

The scribe shook his sleeves, he was a staunch conservative.

Hearing this man's words, Liu Zhang nodded. Indeed, one hundred thousand shi is really not much. If a decisive battle is really going to be deadlocked, and the troops are mobilized casually, the loss and expenditure incurred may be hundreds of thousands of shi.

"Indeed, one hundred thousand stones are worth it to protect Yizhou's safety!" Liu Zhang waved his hand,
"In this way, pass my general order and tell Xia Houyuan that I will send someone to transport the grain there immediately, and I hope he will not fail to keep his promise." Liu Zhang immediately decided that he did not want to fight!

"My lord, don't do it! If you listen to the slander, Yizhou will be devastated!" Fazheng shouted hysterically.

Liu Zhang was instantly sullen, and cast his sleeves and glared at Fazheng. If he hadn't seen that Fazheng was a celebrity, he would have killed him if he didn't want to touch him.

"Xiao Zhi, sometimes you have to put the overall situation first!" Liu Zhang snorted coldly and said with a sullen face.

"I don't care about the overall situation?" Fazheng was stunned for a moment, "Haha, I don't care about the overall situation?"

Now Fazheng understands that Liu Zhang is incompetent, timid and fearful. It is no wonder that he was sitting on a state in his early years, but he was beaten by Zhang Lu of the Wudou sect.

Such lords, Yizhou is destined to disappear.

You know, even if he put aside Chu Feng's side, he would suggest that Liu Zhang unite with Chu Feng to fight against Cao Cao and take back Hanzhong. After all, Hanzhong is the gateway of Yizhou. With Hanzhong in hand, it will not be easy for anyone who wants to capture Yizhou. .

But in Liu Zhang's eyes, it is a day to be able to be stable for a day, and he thought so when Zhang Lu was there in the early years.

Seeing that Fazheng was being reprimanded by Liu Zhang, those factions close to Cao Cao secretly rejoiced, and immediately said: "My lord, Fazheng also cares about Yizhou wholeheartedly, so don't be too harsh!"

"That's right, but giving Xiahouyuan food and grass is destined to be difficult to explain to the Chu army. Why don't we let Fazheng go to Chu Feng as an envoy to inform the lord of our plan, even if we want to accumulate strength, and give a fatal blow!"

"Master, let Zhang Song go with him!"

For a moment, everyone was chattering, and they were all making trouble. They didn't want these two people to miss their future.

Liu Zhang had already been blinded, or in other words, he had never opened his eyes. In short, he could not fight without fighting. Fazheng Zhang Song ran counter to his ideas and was kicked out of normal.

Immediately said: "Fazheng, Zhang Song, you two are my envoys to Chu Feng, and by the way, bring some rare treasures there, just say that Yizhou is exhausted, civil strife continues, and I can't fight Cao Jun decisively, let him rest assured."

Fazheng sneered, clasped his fists, shook his sleeves and left.

Zhang Song rolled his eyes, and immediately responded: "We take orders!"

Zhang Song knew that this was not the time to be angry, he still needed Liu Zhang's exit documents, and the journey would be full of dangers, not a few people wanted to kill them.

"Okay, let's go down and get ready!" Liu Zhang waved his hands and said.

"No!" Zhang Song responded, and immediately chased after him. He wanted to talk to Fazheng.

chase out of the mansion,

Seeing Fazheng walking forward alone, Zhang Song waved and shouted, "Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, wait for me!"

Fazheng slowed down a bit, grabbed the wine gourd on his waist, took a sip of the spirits, and sighed heavily.

"Yongzhu, it really is a Yongzhu."

"Hehe, Xiaozhi doesn't need to get angry, Liu Zhang has not been like this for a day or two, it's not that you and I don't know." Zhang Song joked and chuckled, but he looked a lot lighter.

Because Liu Zhang has developed this character for many years.

"Hey, even though that's the case, I feel guilty, guilty for not doing this for Duke Chu!" Fazheng sighed. He had sworn at the beginning that he would help Chu Feng capture Yizhou.

But after so long, he will be expelled from Yizhou, which is ridiculous, sad, and sad!

"Do your best to obey the destiny. This matter is not up to you or me. What's more, didn't Duke Chu write to you many times, asking you to go under his command even if you can't do it? Why bother?"

Zhang Song shrugged and smiled lightly, to relieve him.

"That's the case, but after all." Fazheng took another sip of wine, he still felt sorry for Chu Feng's fancy.

"Xiaozhi, Duke Chu doesn't care about these things. If he cares about these things, then he is not worthy of letting you and me work for him, let alone achieve today's achievements." Zhang Song said with a smile.

Fazheng took a deep breath and didn't think too much about it.

"Okay, tomorrow you and I will leave after receiving the documents, but you and I have to be careful on the way, after all, there are not a few people who want to do something to you and me." Zhang Song frowned and said solemnly,

"Don't worry about this matter. There are secret guards placed by Duke Chu in Yizhou. I will contact them later. They will secretly protect us and leave tomorrow." Fazheng waved his hand and said.

Immediately, the two walked and chatted, but also put this matter aside.

Although Yizhou was not settled, the two embarked on the journey to return to Chu Feng.

----

A few days later, on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Lü Meng's army, the commander's account of the barracks.

Lv Meng dozed off with his armour, and sat up suddenly when he heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the tent. These days he was extremely exhausted, as could be seen from his red eyes.

"Report, General Qi, Yuan Jun appeared on the south bank of the Yellow River [-] miles away. It seems that he must have smuggled from somewhere else. He is currently tying down antlers and other things to take the army across the river!"

The scout rushed over and shouted anxiously.

"Shh!"

Lu Meng stood up suddenly, his eyes were cold and wanted to kill,
"How many people?" Lu Meng asked in a deep voice.

"About 5000 people, but there are still cavalry, about seven or eight hundred cavalry. I think they came here to prevent our army from making a surprise attack, and specially led the cavalry to frighten our army." The scout replied immediately.

"Cavalry?" Lu Meng frowned, "Damn it!"

Naturally, Lu Meng knew how powerful the cavalry was against the infantry in the plains. Although there were only a few hundred cavalry, if they really wanted to fight, it would be no problem to break through an army formation of thousands of people.

The key is simply can not resist!

The reason why Lu Meng wanted to stop Yuan Jun from crossing the river was to keep the enemy cavalry in Hebei. If hundreds of thousands of cavalry went south, Chu Feng would be under great pressure.

In particular, Yuan Shao's reinforcements came again, the King of the Huns.

The Xiongnu came with [-] cavalry, counting Wuhuan's [-]. Once the Yellow River Ferry was lost, so many cavalry would be too difficult to deal with. This would surely cause severe cuts in the devastated Central Plains.

Clenching his iron fists tightly, Lu Meng had the will to die.

"Come here, pass on my general order, the whole army is assembled, I have something to say!!"

"No!" The guards outside the tent could feel Lu Meng's fighting spirit instantly, and immediately responded with clasped fists.

In a blink of an eye, there is an open space in the village.

Excluding those who died in battle, the rest of the soldiers and horses all came, even the seriously wounded. Half of these seriously wounded remained, and most of the others died. This was only when Chu Feng was able to deal with the wound infection.

About 5000 people all looked at Lu Meng solemnly.

They probably knew the purpose of gathering them here at this time.

Lu Meng came with his sword, his resolute face full of dignity, looked around everyone, and said solemnly: "Everyone, Yuan Jun has 5000 people smuggled to the south bank, and there are hundreds of cavalry."

"The south bank cannot be lost, otherwise hundreds of thousands of cavalry from other races will crush our homes, the chests of our wives and children, and everything else."

"In this battle, we cannot retreat. We must kill them on the south bank of the Yellow River."

After the words fell, everyone looked at Lu Meng with burning eyes, and then they all raised their weapons high,

"Fight, fight, fight!"

"Puyang can't be lost. Therefore, we don't have any reinforcements for this battle. How long can we last until I, Lu Meng, die here? If you are afraid, just leave. I will never stop you."

Lu Meng looked around at the crowd, but no one spoke.

"Since no one is afraid of death, let Yuan Jun know that Chu Jun can't mess with it!"
