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

"Bring yourself!"

Jia Xu immediately replied.

"Bring yourself?" Chu Feng was stunned for a moment: "Can the common people accept it?"

"My lord, if any monarch in ancient or modern times would not go to force the people with a knife and let them go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they would not go, let alone prepare their own food."

"But the people in Yangzhou are different, and the people under the lord's rule are different. With the prestige of the lord, if you raise your arms, tens of thousands of people will be thousands of troops. The people's hearts can be used, and the enemy's courage can be shocked."

Jia Xu looked solemn, these are the things he most agrees with.

He didn't dare to say it under other people's rule, but under Chu Feng's rule, Chu Feng's words can make all people die, even though they die without regret.

"Even so, I feel really ashamed to implicate the common people for no reason!" Chu Feng took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"The family and the country are in trouble. It is everyone's responsibility to defend the country. Why should they be involved? They just fulfilled their responsibilities, and it was not because of the lord that they died. In other words, if there is no lord, half of the people in Yangzhou Humans have long been bones!"

"My lord has guarded them all these years, and what I have done can be learned from the world, the sun and the moon can be felt, and the common people also see it in their eyes. No one will say that the lord has not said a word." Jia Xu stared straight at Chu Feng, Shen Sheng said.

"Huh!" Chu Feng took a deep breath: "Let me think about it!"

Years of experience had already made Chu Feng calm in the face of everything, but this time Cao Yuan Wanwan's allied forces went south, although he had the confidence to retreat from the enemy, it was indeed not easy to preserve Hefei.

In general, Chu Feng wants to resist too many responsibilities, but this responsibility is so heavy, Wan Shi, he is so overwhelmed that he can't breathe!
But Chu Feng knew that the goal of Cao Yuan's coalition forces was Hefei. They wanted to destroy the foundation they had built up over the years, even if they risked crossing the Huaihe River to fight to the death.

As long as he is selfish, it is still very easy to retreat from the enemy. Regardless of the people of Jiujiang, shrinking in Hefei, even those people can't break through, but in this way, the many years of construction outside the city will be destroyed!
"Leaving aside the matter of the common people, the troops and horses under the various ministries need to be mobilized now. Cao Yuan's coalition forces are targeting Hefei. Huang Zhong's troops are stationed in Xiapi and Xu Shu's stationed in Jingzhou cannot be moved,"

"I intend to transfer Lu Su, Zhao Fan, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun to Hefei, and Nanyang Liuwen to hire Huo Jun to set up defenses. What do you think?" Chu Feng looked at the crowd and asked.

Fazheng hesitated a little, and spoke first: "My lord, there are a lot of troops in Yizhou. You should be more careful in Yufuguan. It is inevitable that Cao Jun will not come from there. In addition to Wuguan and the north, there are too few troops."

"You know, there are many families in Jingzhou, and there are not a few people who have secret connections with Cao Cao. Xu Shu alone has no skills at all. Once Cao Cao and the Jingzhou family have secret connections, it will be easy to break through!"

"My subordinates believe that Lu Su, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals, such as Ma Ke, have been recalled. Zhao Fan has the style of a general. He should be stationed in Jingzhou to prevent Jingzhou from rebelling. Otherwise, Jingzhou's rebellion will really be the enemy."

Chu Feng nodded: "Let Lu Su and the others come back over there. In addition, after the rules for killing aristocratic families are informed, let Xu Shu find a family with evil deeds to slaughter them. I will kill chickens to make an example to monkeys!"

"No!" Jia Xu agreed immediately.

But Chu Feng was thinking, the eight major armies, now Xu Shu and Zhao Fan's army had to stay in Jingzhou, beware of Cao Jun, and could not be mobilized.Huang Zhong had to guard against Xiapi and could not mobilize, that is to say, he only had the five major armies available.

Zhang He, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Tai Shici, Lu Meng!

The Lu Meng Army had suffered heavy losses earlier, and there were only more than 9 people left. That is to say, the remaining five major armies had no more than [-] troops, of which Zhang He, Lu Xun and others were mostly recruits.

Excluding them, there are Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Gao Shun's two riders, a total of 5000 people. Counting the Central Army, Black Banner Army, etc., there are about 13 warriors under his command!
There are quite a few county soldiers, but the county soldiers lack training, and they can be used to dispatch and defend in the pass water village. The combat effectiveness in frontal combat is limited, and Chu Feng dare not make up for it.

On the other hand, Cao Yuan's coalition army, according to Cao Jun's intelligence, at least 25 to 20, Guishuang has 40 soldiers, which means more than 15, while Yuan Shao's headquarters has [-] soldiers left, and about [-] after Wuhuan annexed.

25, 65 soldiers and horses of the two coalition forces!
There is a five-fold gap in troop strength. The key point is that there are a lot of cavalry on the opposite side. Guishuang has 15 soldiers, Cao Cao has [-] Xiliang soldiers, Yuan Shao has [-] Wuhuan cavalry, and the headquarters has [-] to [-] cavalry.

That is to say, the coalition army has more than 60 soldiers and horses, at least half of which are iron cavalry. Such a large number of cavalry is enough to prevent the Chu army from being tough. After all, this amount is too much, and it will take countless lives to fill it!
And this first phase of the military meeting ended without a problem, and everyone felt a heavy weight on their hearts and fell into a state of solemnity.

As the crowd receded, Chu Feng returned to the study, and before entering the study, he couldn't help saying: "Zhongkang, do you think I should allow the people to participate in the battle? But if they are not allowed to participate in the battle, how can we prevent the crossing of the Thousand Li Huaihe River?"

"My lord, I don't understand this, but the people of Yangzhou are not cowards, as long as the lord gives an order, they will never turn back!" Xu Chu scratched his head, he didn't understand this either.

Chu Feng paused and entered the study.

The main thing is that he needs to defend too many places, and each point needs a lot of soldiers and horses. Even if he recruited 40 or [-] soldiers earlier, most of these soldiers need to be responsible for stationing various places as county soldiers.
Or they need to be responsible for food escort,
Or it is necessary to govern and control various places, including suppressing the reactionary Shanyue from time to time. There are not many people who can really be used, only more than [-], and these people's combat capabilities are almost zero.

More than [-] soldiers are scattered in the Huaihe River for thousands of miles.

Judging from Cao Cao's actions right now, it is obvious that he is ready for the forced crossing. If more than [-] scattered cavalry can't stop the forced crossing, Chu Feng will fill in this value with a zero.

-

As for Jia Xu, he glanced at the general's mansion and sighed. He naturally knew that Chu Feng wanted to resist everything, but this time it was not easy, he had to share Chu Feng's worries.

Thinking of this, he returned to the mansion and summoned the leader of the hidden guards. He needed to pass on some information, and he wanted to bear these names for Chu Feng.

Looking at the leader of the hidden guards in the hall, Jia Xu said solemnly: "Try to find a way to bring the Cao Yuan coalition army, first pass on the news that the Lord's troops are insufficient, and see how the people around the world react."

"No!" The leader of the dark guard immediately responded.

Looking at the retreating figure of the leader of the hidden guards, Jia Xu smiled wryly. He found that he seemed to have changed. If it was in the past, he wouldn't even bother to ask, but now he actually took the initiative to do things for Chu Feng secretly.

Is it Chu Feng's charm?

Or did he suddenly wake up?

He didn't worry about the reason, but when he came here, he did change, from being irrelevant at the beginning to being worried now, which didn't conform to his original view of interests.

----

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

The whole of Yangzhou felt like a storm was coming.

At the same time, some news spread throughout the villages and towns, that is, there are too many soldiers and horses of the coalition army, and it is difficult for the soldiers and horses of the Chu army to fortify the Huaihe River for thousands of miles.

It stands to reason that before the war, how could one be able to confuse one's mind?
But this news was revealed on purpose by Jia Xu.

He wanted to see the reaction of the people first. If there was no reaction, he would advocate that Chu Feng use force to recruit the people by force to guard against the Qianli Huaihe River.

now,

Quyang County, Daze Township, Zhangjia Village.

The autumn harvest is over, and most of the people don’t have much to do, but at this time, another rush of golden gongs resounds throughout the village.

Zhangjia Village is not very big, there are about a hundred households, and there are not many original residents left. Most of them escaped from the north and settled here. After several years of development, the village is now lively.

"The head of the family, the village head called someone to go to the village entrance!"

"Then why are you still in a daze? Let's go over and have a look. The village head rarely calls everyone over. Maybe there's something serious." The man said with a frown.

After a while, at the entrance of the village.

There are more than a hundred households who have not traveled far, and some migrant workers have all been suspended at home because of the war. At this moment, they all came in groups, each with a puzzled look.

The head of the village is an old man in his seventies named Zhang Yan.

He was also an aborigine of Zhangjia Village, and he was the village chief at that time. He was one of the oldest people in the village. He could be said to have witnessed the ups and downs of the village with his own eyes.

When he came to the stone pier, Zhang Yan looked solemn. At this moment, he knocked on the crutch in his hand, and said in a strong voice: "Big guy, have you seen everyone here?"

"Xiulan's house hasn't come yet, it seems like I went to the village market today!" Someone replied.

"Okay, don't wait for her home!"

"There is something I want to discuss with the big guys!" Zhang Yan finished with a solemn expression: "The big guys also know that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other traitors have colluded with outsiders and allied millions of troops to plot against our homeland!"

"Now the general of the coalition army, Lord Chu Enyi, wants to lead the army to fight to the death, but the Huai River is thousands of miles away, and the dry water is full of tidal flats. If Cao Yuan's coalition army crosses by force, it will be impossible to defend against it. Although the old man has only a few bones left, he still has blood."

"The big guy is summoned today for no other reason than to call on the big guys to unite and fight against the enemy with one heart. Those who have money will contribute money, those who have food will contribute food, and those who have people will contribute people to fight against the enemy."

The words fall, the sound is silent.

The villagers naturally heard the news that the coalition forces had killed them, but their village chief let them go to the battlefield.

"Village chief, it's not that we're afraid of death, but if we all go, can we beat back those coalition forces?" A man pursed his lips and shouted.

"I don't know about other villages, and I don't want to know, but I know, including me, if there is no Duke Chu, we would not have our lives, let alone your life like today."

"Now that the family and the country are in trouble, the Duke of Chu is kind and still does not want to implicate the people, and wants to fight the coalition alone, but how can we let the Duke of Chu fight alone? Even if the enemy is outnumbered, the old man will fight this old bone Together with Duke Chu, we will protect our country."

Zhang Yan's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were solemn.

Chu Feng is his belief, his king, for Chu Feng, for his family and country, he would not hesitate to do so.

"That's right, if there was no Duke Chu, we would not be alive. I think back then, if Duke Chu did not send porridge, my family would already be a few withered bones. Now that Duke Chu is in trouble, our family and country are in trouble, why should I cherish this head?"

"That's right, maybe we value Wei Wei, but we are willing to use our blood to fight with Duke Chu to the death!" Another man yelled angrily, full of blood!
"Village chief, Duke Chu treated us with the kindness of saving our lives, how could we not reciprocate the favor? We spent the first half of our life in a daze, and for the rest of our lives, we recognized Duke Chu, who wholeheartedly served the people. How could we abandon him? ?”

"Village chief, just say what you want, everyone in the village listens to you."

All of a sudden, the crowd was excited, one by one put aside their parents' grievances, even those women put down the hands that were holding their men, they actually knew the righteousness at this moment.

"well!"

"Let us advance and retreat with Mr. Chu!" Zhang Yan's body was trembling.

"As far as I know, the most important thing for Duke Chu right now is to defend the Huaihe River for thousands of miles. Although many county soldiers have been mobilized to set up defenses, the defense line is too big to manage. Let's go to the Huaihe River to defend!"

"This time, all men between the ages of 15 and 60 should fight and all girls should be lucky. Bring me your weapons when you go home later. Those who have bows and knives will take bows and knives, and those who don't will even carry sickles." Give it to me!"

"Depart early tomorrow morning. If anyone doesn't arrive, there will be no such person in Zhangjiacun!" Zhang Yan's crutches and pestles sounded, his brows were full of solemnity, his time was numbered, but he had no regrets!

"Big guy, if you don't retreat from the enemy bandits, you will never return home!" A strong man also took a step forward, turned to look at the crowd, raised his fist and roared.

"If you don't retreat from the enemy bandits, you will never return home!"

"If you don't retreat from the enemy bandits, you will never return home!"

"If you don't retreat from the enemy bandits, you will never return home!"

----

The next day, the sky was misty.

More than 400 people from more than [-] households in Zhangjia Village got up.

There are 170 men, 250 women, children and children. There are only some elderly and pregnant women left in the village, including some babies who are still in their infancy.

Returned more than 20 wheelbarrows,

Hundreds of people are mighty, holding a flag, which reads, if you don't retreat from the enemy, you will never return to your hometown!
Although Zhang Yan was inconvenient in his legs and feet, he held his back straight, gritted his teeth and persisted. He wanted to raise the banner for Chu Feng!
-

And this group of people, wherever they passed, the people heard about it, and even rushed to tell them,
For a time, folks from all over the world welcomed,
Lijiacun, Wangjiacun, Chenjiacun, Nianjiacun, and Yanjiacun along the way all participated in the event. Some villages even got the news in advance and brought people to wait at the entrance of the village early.

After walking for only one day, countless villages followed behind, some were brought by the village chief, some were spontaneously organized by friends, all of them were beating,

Don't retreat the enemy bandits, vow not to return home the banner!

The flags made of various fabrics and all kinds of crooked fonts looked extremely proud and noble at this moment, even if the brocade clothes and cloth were not as good as one ten-thousandth!

These people may not know each other, but they are all of one mind.

They wanted to defend their home and country, and they wanted to advance and retreat with Chu Feng. Chu Feng couldn't bear to implicate them, and they didn't want to let Chu Feng fight alone.

And this team grew from hundreds of people at the beginning to thousands of people overnight, and the news swept across the country like a tornado, and countless villages followed suit.
