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

Chapter 382 Layout
"Autumn Harvest Battle!"

Cao Cao closed his eyes and meditated, then repeated his words.

He was calculating the feasibility of the autumn harvest decisive battle. According to what Xun You said, all the preparations of the whole army at this moment will be used to assist the autumn decisive battle. This battle is related to the ownership of Hefei.

And it is impossible for Chu Feng to let Hefei come out, so there will be a large-scale battle here, and it is very likely that the outcome will be won in one battle.

If Chu Feng wins, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will all have to retreat to the north and Guanzhong in despair. If Cao Cao or Yuan Shao wins, Chu Feng will not have the opportunity to go north in a short time, and will completely retreat to the south.

But there are a few points in the autumn harvest battle that are too troublesome,

It is only about May now, and it will take several months to prepare, while Guishuang is already in the middle of the pass and needs to stay for several months.The same is true for Wuhuan and Xiongnu, whether they can be kept or not is still unknown.

Moreover, Hefei City has high walls and thick walls, which are said to be stronger than the original Luoyang. It is even more difficult to break into such a city wall. However, there is one thing, the economy around Hefei is developed, and Chu Feng will not wait for them to come to the city.

This also indirectly forced Chu Feng to fight decisively in Huaihe, Shouchun and other places.

"What if there is no decisive battle?"

After a long time, Cao Cao opened his eyes and looked at Xun You,
The autumn harvest decisive battle requires too much effort, almost all the next year's military expenditure will be spent, and countless civilian laborers will be required to be requisitioned, which will be a disaster.

It's fine if you win, but once you lose, Cao Cao can't imagine the consequences.

"No decisive battle?" Xun You frowned: "My lord is worried."

"If this decisive battle is only our army, it's fine, but it also concerns Yuan Jun, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Guishuang. There are too many variables in it. It is not appropriate to gamble the power of the whole country for such a big variable!"

Cao Cao frowned and waved his hands to explain.

He is cautious, and this risk is worth taking, but it is definitely not such a risky way. If he is not careful, he will be doomed. It is a gamble for all the strategic resources for the coming year.

"This" Xun You pondered,
"My lord, the autumn harvest decisive battle is a strategic layout. If my lord can't fight against the enemy and advance and retreat together with Yuan Shao, then I will surprise Yizhou with a blitzkrieg, take Yizhou first, and then stick to Nanyang."

Xun You immediately stroked his beard to answer, and gave a perfect solution.

"Surprise attack on Yizhou? Stick to Nanyang!"

Cao Cao thought in his mind that Nanyang actually knew better than anyone else that guarding was of little use, if one day Chu Feng went north again, Nanyang could only be said to be barely a strategic outpost.

"My lord, Yizhou may be a plan!" Guo Jia said solemnly at the side, and then analyzed: "Look, my lord, our army has just withdrawn from Yizhou, and everyone knows that our army and the Yuan Shao alliance fought against Chu Feng.
At this moment, if the carbine is shot back, Yizhou will definitely not be able to defend, and it is very likely that they will attack the city of Chengdu in one fell swoop. If Yizhou can be captured, then all problems will be solved. "

"Yizhou is the land of abundance, known as the world's granary. Taking Yizhou, the Lord not only has more strategic space, but also can go east from Yizhou and take Jingzhou directly."

"If the Autumn Harvest Battle can still continue, let's not mention it for now. If the Autumn Harvest Battle cannot be completed, the Lord can still confront Chu Feng in Jingzhou and form a new strategic aspect."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Cao also squinted his eyes and nodded.

Now there is still time before the autumn harvest, the key is to mobilize food, grass, ships, soldiers and horses after the autumn harvest, and it will definitely take time to fight.

"How many people can take Yizhou?" Cao Cao asked with a frown.

"My lord, the smaller the number of people attacking Yizhou, the better, but they need to be all elites. The victory is fast. They should attack Chengdu with a blitzkrieg, and Yizhou will be caught off guard!"

Guo Jia frowned and explained.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment. It was a certainty that Chu Feng would retreat from the front line. If so, he made a time difference and immediately said, "I ordered Xia Houyuan to lead an army of five thousand to me. Yizhou."

"Be sure to capture all the gates before Yizhou reacts!"

"No!" The herald replied.

"The rest of the soldiers and horses, except for a few who have withdrawn to Chang'an, are ready to turn back. Yizhou will take it first. As for Chu Feng, let's see when the time comes. If it really doesn't work, we will swallow Guishuang's soldiers and horses!"

Cao Cao narrowed his pupils and said viciously,
He had planned this for a long time, but he couldn't do it unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, Guishuang still had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, so it was definitely not a wise choice to offend him at this moment!

"No!" The herald responded.

"For the rest, according to what Gongda just said, building ships, actively preparing for the autumn harvest, and the autumn harvest decisive battle are listed as the highest strategic deployment." Cao Cao redefined the autumn harvest decisive battle,
"No!" Everyone agreed in unison.

"Jiang Gan, you are in charge of going to Yuan Shao's side and informing our army of deployment. Xiaozhi will use emotion to reason and let him know that this battle cannot be rushed. Prepare for the autumn harvest battle together with me!"

Cao Cao looked at Jiang Gan again, and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, don't worry!" Jiang Gan nodded.

"When the time comes, remember to pay attention to the wishes of Wuhuan and the Huns. Without Wuhuan and the Huns, the autumn harvest battle would be just a joke!" Cao Cao specifically explained.

"No!" Jiang Gan agreed.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this!" Cao Cao took a deep breath, hoping that there would be no problem with the decision this time.

"By the way, Xu Huang, you will lead five thousand iron cavalry to chase Gao Shun later. Remember, don't be reckless, don't attack rashly. Your purpose is to let Gao Shun and even Lu Su slow down their march and even discard their luggage."

"Just chase down some luggage!" Cao Cao arranged again.

Chu Jun fled from under his nose. If he didn't do something, it would be a bit unjustifiable.

"No!" Xu Huang clasped his fists in response.

"My lord, what about me? Why don't you let me go!" Ma Chao was eager to try. He was already impatient, but Cao Cao never let him do anything.

"Don't worry about Meng Qi. There are still Zhang Liao's iron cavalry in Luoyang City. When the time comes, you lead the iron cavalry to guard against Zhang Liao. Don't let him attack back and forth. However, there is no need to confront the Chu army head-on here!"

Cao Cao gave an encouraging expression.

"Okay, let's all go down and get ready!" Cao Cao couldn't help saying, waving his hands.

----

On the other side, Yuan Jun's camp.

At this moment, Xu You rushed over, opened the curtain and shouted anxiously: "My lord, my lord, the Chu army is about to run away. For two consecutive days, the Chu army has withdrawn to the south. At first, I thought it was a trick of the Chu army. Chu Feng wants to slip away!"

"Chu Jun wants to run?" Yuan Shao frowned: "Didn't Chu Feng just arrive in Puyang? Why did he retreat? Could it be Chu Feng's trick? This person has many tricks and must be guarded against!"

"My lord, I was also depressed at the beginning, but two days in a row, the Chu army had soldiers and horses leaving the city late at night. Thinking about it now, Chu Feng has already ordered to retreat." Xu You frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Then what should we do now?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Chasing, if you don't chase now, when will it be? Our army has tens of thousands of cavalry, and the Chu army is hard to beat." Xu You said immediately.

"Will it fall into the trap?" Yuan Shao asked cautiously.

"Yanzhou is flat, and there are very few places to set up ambush, so don't worry, let alone let the Xiongnu and Wuhuan lead their troops to pursue, even if there is an ambush, it will suppress their arrogance!"

Xu You immediately remonstrated.

Yuan Shao nodded, agreed, and immediately said: "Come here, immediately let Hu Chuquan lead his troops to chase from the left flank, let Ta Dun lead his troops to chase from the right flank, and the rest of the troops are ready to surround Puyang!"

"No!" Immediately answered,
"My lord is wise, this matter should be done as soon as possible. The Pushui is [-] miles south of Puyang. If the Chu army is allowed to cross the Pushui, it will be even more difficult to catch up. It must be destroyed before the Chu army crosses the Pushui."

Xu You made a special statement.

Xu You also knew that even if the Chu army had enough boats, it would be even more difficult for Pushui to quickly cross the river with tens of thousands of people.

As for Puyang, according to his knowledge, there were 6 Chu Feng's central army, [-] Zhang He's legion, more than [-] Lu Meng's legion, and Zhao Yunhe's assisted troops, totaling about [-] people.

If these people are allowed to evacuate safely, it is their incompetence.

Thinking about it, Chu Feng was also having a headache about withdrawing to the south. After all, Yuan Jun's cavalry had tens of thousands of cavalry, and they were watching tens of miles away. If they easily retreated, they might be completely wiped out by these cavalry.

Yuan Shao nodded, beside Yuan Tan also stood in armor, and volunteered: "Father commander, the Chu army will definitely flee in this battle, my son, please fight, and lead the army to wipe out the enemy together with the leader Tadun."

Yuan Shao frowned, looking at Xu You,
Xu Youlang said with a smile: "It is a good thing that Mr. Tan has such a heart, but in this battle the Chu army will only flee. If Mr. Tan is not afraid of fatigue, he can follow Tadun to wipe out the enemy together!"

Xu You didn't know Yuan Tan's intentions. When he was absolutely sure this time, he would definitely have a chance to show his face. This would be very helpful for him to control Yuan Shao Group in the future.

"Since Ziyuan said, you can lead five thousand iron cavalry to follow behind. Remember, don't be reckless, everything depends on your own safety!" Yuan Shao waved his hand, but specifically warned.

"Father, don't worry, the child understands!"

Yuan Tanlang smiled, flung his cloak and turned to leave, giving Xu You a look before leaving.

"Ziyuan, are you sure you can win this battle?" Yuan Shao was a little anxious, maybe because of his fear of Chu, he had never defeated Chu Feng.

"If the Chu army relied on Puyang Jiancheng to defend, our army might have nothing to do with him, but he took the initiative to retreat. This mine field plain, whether it is the Xiongnu or Wuhuan, is enough for Chu Feng!"

Xu You chuckled, even though Chu Feng is invincible, his manpower is limited after all.

"Hope, let's wait for the good news!" Yuan Shao looked deeply into the distance and said in a deep voice.

-

Not long after, the camps on the left and right wings became restless.

Both Huchuquan and Tadun received the order to transfer troops, and immediately assembled troops and horses to pursue and fight in the plains. They were good at cavalry, and they even thought about how to play tricks on the Chu army.

If the Chu army was crossing the river, they were even more prepared to push them all into the river, and let the Chu army try it too. It felt like falling into the water.

After a long time, the three armies were assembled.

The war horse galloped, making a deafening sound.

-

Puyang, general inside the mansion.

After Chu Feng decided to withdraw his army earlier, he thought about the method of retreating, but after all, he was under the nose of Yuan Jun, and it was not realistic to want to quietly. At first, he asked Lu Meng to retreat southward after the night.

As long as they cross the Pu River, it is very difficult for the enemy cavalry to do anything in a short time.

If there is no accident, there is a high probability that Lu Meng is already fighting for crossing the Pu River, followed by Zhang He and the miscellaneous soldiers.

At this moment, only the Central Army, Zhao Yun's iron cavalry, and the Black Banner Army remained in the city, totaling more than 2 people. The elites were not used to retreat, and Chu Feng personally sat at the end.

"My lord, Yuan Jun is dispatched."

Zhao Yun, dressed in silver armor and a cloak, strode forward at this moment.

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu and others all looked solemn.

On the first place, Chu Feng looked calm, slowly put down the military book in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "How many soldiers and horses, who will lead the army?"

"The Xiongnu and King Wuhuan personally led the army, and each of them brought at least tens of thousands of cavalry. It seems that they are ready to pursue." Zhao Yun frowned, tens of thousands of cavalry is definitely not a small number.

"Hehe, tens of thousands of iron cavalry are chasing after him, Yuan Jun is scared out of his wits!" Chu Feng sneered, and immediately said: "Zhang Yun is walking along the west road, don't worry about those in the east for the time being, who is leading the army in the west."

"Wuhuan!" Zhao Yun replied.

"Ta Dun is brave and has fought with our army. However, the infantry on the west road is okay, but the cavalry is not easy to carry out. Along the way, I also asked Zhang He to deploy crossbowmen to trip the horse ropes, enough for them to drink a pot."

Chu Feng said something calmly.

"My lord, bows and crossbows can only slow down their marching speed. If they insist on chasing them, Zhang Yun's army may be in danger!" Jia Xu frowned and said solemnly.

If the cavalry can be dealt with with just a few tripping ropes and crossbows, it is not cavalry.

"If it's just a few bridle ropes and a few crossbowmen, they can't stop the iron cavalry, but don't forget, there are still nearly ten thousand iron cavalry in my city. As long as Tadun is not stupid, he will not dare to pursue unsuspecting."

"It's really not going to happen at that time. I will lead the Central Army and the Black Banner Army to go out for a walk. Maybe Tadun will lose the courage to continue to pursue, and I have already made Zhang Xi ready!"

"As for the Pushui, it is connected to the Yellow River. When Huang Zhong retreated, I mobilized all the warships to Da Yeze. As long as Zhang Xi arrived at the Pushui, he could board the boat at any time. At that time, Tadun would have to rush for nothing! "

There was a smile on Chu Feng's face, and everything was being planned.

"My lord, when the time comes, the two generals Lu Meng and Zhang Yun will both lead their troops to withdraw, and there will only be more than 2 of our army left. They will definitely be surrounded by Yuan's army. I'm afraid that time will come."

Zhao Yun frowned and said solemnly.

"It's all about attacking east and west. Zhang He and Lu Meng retreated from here. Yuan Jun would only think that our army would also retreat from here, but there is Zehe next to Puyang City. With the combat power of the Central Army, no one can break through the formation by the river!"

"As long as we wait for Zhang Yun to withdraw, our army will naturally retreat to Zehe tonight. Even if Yuan Jun finds out and evaluates their methods, our army will have no fear!" Chu Feng said disapprovingly,

It is his confidence that the Central Army stays behind.

Chu Feng was sure that Wuhuan or the Xiongnu hadn't won staged victories, and Yuan Shao didn't dare to besiege the city directly. After all, without the support of Wuhuan and the Huns, Yuan Jun was a soft-footed shrimp.

The Central Army kills them like chickens!
On the side, Jia Xu nodded while stroking his beard, and Tian Feng Jushou also laughed lightly. The retreat route arranged by Chu Feng can be said to be playing around with Yuan Shao's coalition forces, and it is impossible to figure out the reality.

The most important thing is that the Chu army has a large number of ships and their capacity is high enough, otherwise, even if they want to leave, it will not be easy.

"Pu River enters the Honggou from the west, diverts to the east of Kaifeng and joins Ziyi. When it enters the Ying River, it can reach the Huai River, and even divert to Feishui, to reach the city of Hefei!"

Chu Feng said with a light smile!
"Okay, let's all go down and prepare, and let the Black Banner Army and the Central Cavalry be ready at any time."
