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

Chapter 70 The Eighth Road Princes Responded, On the Eve of the Decisive Battle

In the second year of Jian'an, October in winter.

At the end of the court meeting, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty announced to the world that General Chu Feng, who suppressed the rebellion, conspired to rebel, and specially ordered Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao, Liu Bei and other princes of eight routes to conquer Chu Feng.

Among them, it was even rumored that Cao Cao led an army of [-] to personally conquer Chu Feng. There were rumors in his army that he broke the Shouchun in ten days and flattened Jiangbei in half a month.

This is also the first time Cao Cao has mobilized an army on such a large scale since he hijacked Emperor Han, and all the people in the world looked sideways, and the princes from all walks of life sent people to investigate.

In this battle, the Central Plains forces may have to reshuffle their cards.

Following the issuance of the edict, Xiaopei Liu Bei, Jizhou Yuan Shao, Jingzhou Liu Biao and others responded but did not send troops. Only Jiangdong Sun Ce responded and claimed to have garrisoned [-] troops, and sent troops to Niuzhu to attack Shouchun.

Two sides flanked each other, and countless people waited and watched.

----

Jiujiang, Shouchun.

In the general's mansion, when the scouts came to report, all the generals were worried and whispered, some of them didn't know what to do.

Chu Feng slowly put down the Chinese book in his hand, looked up at the generals with a calm expression, and said, "Hehe, as the chief general, are you panicking?"

"If that's the case, you might as well tie me up and give it to Cao Mengde, so that you can have a better future." Speaking of this, Chu Feng threw his Chinese book on the desk and scolded.

All the generals were ridiculed by Chu Feng's showdown, and they all bowed their heads in shame, but this time, the Sun-Cao coalition army is so mighty, how can they not be worried!
"Where is Cao Cao's army?" Chu Feng asked with a cold snort.

"My lord, Cao's army has reached the north of Runan, at the border with Chen State." Tan Ma clasped his fists.

"Cao Cao has just entered the territory of Runan? It has been more than ten days since this edict was issued, and Cao Mengde, who has always used soldiers like a god, is marching slowly this time?"

Chu Feng picked up the appeal to thieves on the case, and tried to ask.

"My lord, Cao Cao is deceitful. He clearly wants our army to relax its vigilance. After Sun Ce fights our army in Yuzhang, he will rush to the city in one fell swoop."

Yan Xiang hurriedly explained.

Chu Feng nodded his head as approval, but he clearly remembered that during this period of history, Cao Cao was only thinking about killing Zhang Xiu, and he didn't even care about Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor.
If Yuan Shu hadn't taken the initiative to provoke him, Cao Cao wouldn't have moved him, but now that he is making such a big show, it is inevitable that he will become suspicious.

"Have you found out how many soldiers and horses Cao Jun has?" Chu Fenghu asked suspiciously.

"My lord, its military flag covers the sky and the sun, and the camp at night stretches for more than ten miles. At least there are tens of thousands of troops." Tan Ma explained.

"Except for the general flag? Have you ever seen the scale of Cao Jun's march?" Chu Feng asked.

"My lord, Cao Jun is surrounded by sentry cavalry, it is difficult to get close, so I can only make a rough estimate." Tan Ma explained.

"Zhao Fan, you personally bring someone to investigate for me. Make sure to investigate clearly." Chu Feng frowned slightly, and shouted in a deep voice.

"No!" Zhao Fan nodded.

His special warfare battalion is equipped with binoculars, which are far easier to use than the naked eye.

In the hall, Lu Su frowned and asked curiously: "My lord, do you suspect that Cao Cao is not here?"

"There is a possibility that the emperor's time in Xuchang is still short, and those who are loyal to the Han Dynasty are like crucian carp crossing the river. Knowing this, Cao Cao still led his army in an upright manner, which is somewhat suspicious."

Chu Feng guessed in his heart and said.

Hearing what Chu Feng said, everyone fell into deep thought. It seemed that there was some truth to it. Cao Cao was the hero, and Yanzhou was stolen before, so how dare he do it again this time.

"My lord, what about Jiangdong? When Sun Ce learned that our army captured Yuzhang, it was bound to fight to the death. Now, he is gathering a large number of troops in Niuzhu. How should we deal with it?"

Liu Ye asked in a deep voice.

"Zi Yang, this is just Sun Ce's method of feigning an attack. He has limited boats, so how can he cross the river and fight? He must be trying to attack Yuzhang."

Lu Su's cave is like watching the fire path.

"Zijing is right. Sun Ce's purpose this time is to capture Yuzhang and occupy the entire south bank of the Yangtze River. The north crossing from Niuzhu is just to attract the attention of our army!"

Chu Feng pinched his chin and said in a deep voice.

"But since he wants to attack Yuzhang, let's see who is faster."

"Send an order to tell Chen Ji and Hua Xin to defend Chaisang and Nanchang. Also tell Gan Ning to lead his navy to go down the river immediately and prepare to capture Niuzhu."

Chu Feng said in a gloomy voice.

"My lord, do you want to switch offense and defense with Sun Ce? Isn't that too risky?" Lu Su frowned, a little anxiously.

This move can be said to be too bold. Once the situation is not opened up, Yuzhang is likely to become a lone army, and Yuzhang's new occupation has not been long, so how can he stick to it?

"There is no absolute victory in the world."

"The law of war says that by combining rightly, we will win by surprise."

"This time, Sun Ce's army has limited warships. Why don't our army use our own strengths to attack its weaknesses? Take advantage of the rapid march across the river to exhaust Sun Ce's army!"

"If our army can't take down Yuzhang in Danyang, why not Sun Cejun? If he fails to take down Yuzhang in a short time, Danyang and even Wu County will also be in danger."

"Wujun is his base camp, and Yuzhang is just a small area. If you lose it, you will lose it. It depends on who can hold on."

Chu Feng asked loudly.

"This..." Lu Su groaned silently,

What Chu Feng said was not bad, it was because he was too cautious, there is no perfect way to fight a war!

"My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" Ji Ling stepped out sideways, clasped his fists and roared.

Chu Feng pondered for a while. Compared to Sun Ce, he was more worried about Cao Cao. Cao Cao's army could not leave Shouchun unless he found out clearly. What's more, he had no experience in water warfare, so he was tied up when he went there.

"Lu Su listened to the order. You are the commander of the three armies, and you will command all the generals to attack Niuzhu." Chu Feng looked at Lu Su and said.

Lu Su is good at strategy, but he is also good at commanding the army, and he is strict in running the army, so let him lead his troops south to defend against the enemy and feel at ease.

Lu Su glanced at Chu Feng, solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Su takes orders!"

What is the concept of fake Jieyue, that is, he enjoys all the rights to appoint, remove, and kill in this army, and he doesn't need to ask Chu Feng. What kind of trust is this?

The key is that I have no merits. In this kind of battle, Chu Feng can be said to defy all opinions and force him to the top. I can't let Chu Feng down no matter what.

"Ji Ling and Zhang Xun listen to the order. You two are the left and right deputy governors, and Li Feng and Le are the generals. They are all under the command of Lu Su. If you violate the general order, you will be dealt with by military law!"

Chu Feng looked at the generals under his command and said in a deep voice.

"No!" Everyone nodded.

Although he was unhappy, after all Lu Su had neither prestige nor martial arts, so he was naturally dissatisfied with being the commander of the three armies, but Chu Feng specially faked the festival ax just to frighten them.

"Yan Xiang, you go to Xuzhou again and tell Lu Bu that he will send troops to attack Chen Guo." Chu Feng looked at Yan Xiang, he needed to prepare for the worst.

If Cao Cao really came out in full force, then Lu Bu's army would be necessary.

"No!" Yan Xiang nodded.

"Okay, let's all go down and get ready."

Chu Feng waved his hand, and Sun Ce was handed over to Lu Su. Next, he needed to investigate Cao Cao's movements. This person was far more threatening than Sun Ce.
