Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 493 Cao Cao asks for help
Qin Feng's face became strange, "It seems that my brother Meng De can't stand it anymore, and I'm here to ask for help."

He really guessed it right, and then Cheng Yu came in, and after paying homage, he described the current situation of Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao returned to the army, he defeated Lu Bu many times and took back too many counties.However, Cao Cao's military strength was severely damaged as a result, and it was already at the end of his strength. However, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and attacked Puyang, which was heavily guarded by Lu Bu.Puyang is Cao Cao's base camp, where too much money and food have been concentrated.If he took a breather and did not attack Puyang, Lu Bu would have recovered.

But at this time, the situation changed suddenly. Chen Deng Cao Bao from Xuzhou and Yuan Shu from Yangzhou sent troops to Gunzhou at the same time.Yuan Shu's army quickly occupied Qiao County, while Xuzhou's soldiers and horses conquered Pei Guo and approached Shanyang County.For a time, Cao Cao, who was short of troops, was besieged on all sides, and he had entered a situation where he could never recover.

Looking at it, Cao Cao was about to be destroyed by the princes of the three routes.

After Qin Feng heard it, he said calmly, "Zhongde, you have worked hard from afar, so you can go and rest first. Benhou will give you an answer soon."

"Master Hou, everyone, junior brother, please leave..." Cheng Yu saluted and left, but his heart was full of thoughts.When he came to Jizhou, he was very surprised to see the great development of Jizhou.Unexpectedly, Qin Feng would be able to restore local prosperity in a short period of time.He actually knew why, but he was a nobleman himself. If Cao Cao did the same thing, he would definitely vote against it.

After Cao Cao experienced the incident of Diugunzhou this time, he no longer intends to learn from Qin Feng to weaken the gentry.Because almost all the people around him are from the gentry, if he goes against the gentry, he will become a polished commander.It can also be seen that in the whole world, only Qin Feng, who came from a grassroots background, has the natural allies of the common people.

Cheng Yu has also been studying the process of Qin Feng's rise, and at the same time making comparisons with Cao Cao and others.To his horror, he discovered that as early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qin Feng should have already started planning for future chaos.This made Cheng Yu frightened by Qin Feng's strategic vision.Cheng Yu could only bury all of this in his heart, and now he had more admiration for Qin Feng.

Cheng Yu went down to rest, and Qin Feng asked plainly, "What do you think about supporting Cao Cao?"

As for whether to support Cao Cao, Qin Feng's four-member military division divided into two groups.

Xun Yu and Tian Feng were on one side, and they proposed to support Cao Cao.Therefore, there are great uncertainties in Gunzhou now. If Cao Cao is defeated and withdraws from Gunzhou, Qin Feng's Jizhou will face enemies from all sides.Although Qin Feng possessed certain strength, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, so everyone had to be on guard, and it was difficult to make a breakthrough.

To put it simply, if Qin Feng attacks one of them, a group of people will come to take the opportunity to attack Qin Feng.If Qin Feng doesn't attack, maybe a group of people will unite to attack him.Qin Feng will be trapped, which is an unfavorable strategic situation.

Xu Shu and Jushou were on the same side. They proposed to wait a little longer. Cao Cao would not be defeated so quickly. The most important thing now is to obtain the Jizhou area controlled by Yuan Shao.

Taking all of Jizhou is very meaningful to Qin Feng's strategy. After taking all of Jizhou, Qin Feng can use the Yellow River as the southern barrier, greatly shorten the length of the front, increase the rear area, and consolidate the front.

Both sides make sense. The four military divisions did not argue, but under the leadership of Qin Feng, they planned to ponder and ponder to see if they could synthesize and find a better strategic approach.

It was noon in a blink of an eye.

"Eat first." Qin Feng said plainly.

However, before the meal came, an important news came first.

Xu Chu brought information from outside.

Qin Feng opened it, frowned, and said, "This piece of information is about Liu Bei, and there is only one. Mr. Xi Zhicai, Liu Bei's military advisor, has passed away."

The military advisers' eyes widened all of a sudden.

The circles of Xu Shu's eyes turned red, and he looked sad, "Senior brother... unexpectedly passed away...." Xu Shu gradually became more sad, and couldn't help but recall: "Senior brother has a congenital disease of coughing since he was a child, and he has been unable to cure it. Said, died young."

Coughing since childhood must be due to congenital bad lungs.

Qin Feng and Xi Zhicai were familiar with each other when they were in Yingchuan College, and now they are sighing.He couldn't help but rejoice that he had a life-saving talisman, which was the genius doctor Hua Tuo, who is now the chief doctor of the Qin Dynasty.Every day, Qin Feng drank Dabu soup and ate Dabu pills, it was hard to think of death.

Qin Feng felt that Hua Tuo's medicinal diet was good, so he asked the whole family to take care of themselves.Of course, the wife and children will never be Qin Feng's way of health care.Qin Feng is completely a man's health care method, wives have their own women's health care methods, and children naturally have children's health care methods.

Qin Feng felt it, and immediately said: "Come here, go and inform Mr. Hua Tuo that tomorrow, all civil and military officials, above the county level, will all go for a physical examination."

It doesn't matter if everyone else's is dead, and one of my own is absolutely indispensable.

When Xun Yu and the others saw the lord, the first thing they thought of was their bodies, which was called gratitude.Xu Shu put away his sadness for the time being, and could only attribute the untimely death of his senior brother to the destiny.Moreover, it is good for the lord that the senior brother hangs up.When Xu Shu thought this way, he didn't mean to add insult to injury. Loyalty to the Lord and remembering his brother were completely different things.

After getting the news, the military advisers had a unified opinion, which was to save Cao Cao.

Qin Feng didn't expect Xi Zhicai to die, but the military advisers agreed and asked, "Why?"

The military advisers met for a while, and representative Xun Yu spoke, saying: "My lord, Liu Xuande's success is entirely due to Mr. Xi Zhicai's strategy. After Mr. Xi Zhicai's death, Liu Xuande is no match for Yuan Benchu. If there is a lord In Jizhou, after Yuan Benchu's victory, he must not dare to attack Qingzhou on a large scale."

"But if the lord personally leads troops to support Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu ​​will definitely mobilize forces to attack Qingzhou on a large scale while the lord is not in Jizhou. When Yuan Benchu's army leaves Jizhou in large numbers, the lord can capture the plains by surprise, and Yuan Shao will be cut off if he captures the plains." The connection with Jizhou, Yuan Shao's main force is isolated in Qingzhou, and Jizhou is at your fingertips."

The military divisions became excited. This strategy is really a golden opportunity for our forces.

Obviously, if Qin Feng went to support Cao Cao himself, Yuan Shao would definitely attack Liu Bei's Qingzhou with all his might.Qin Feng only needs to kill a carbine at the right time, first to take Jizhou without asking for everything, and to cut off the connection between Yuan Shao and Jizhou.After Yuan Shao's large army was cut off in Qingzhou, it was only a matter of time before Qin Feng took all of Jizhou.

Now is to let Yuan Shao fight out, weakening his defensive power in Jizhou, Qin Feng's chance has completely come out.

This idea is really good, Qin Feng made a decision at that time.

"But let's eat first." Qin Feng said with a smile.

The military advisers laughed, no matter when, their lord is very stable.This is a quality that many people cannot possess, and it will play a decisive role at certain times.

In fact, Qin Feng was not stable at all. If his alliance with Cao Cao was defeated this time, the situation would be extremely bad.He couldn't help cursing Yuan Shao as an idiot, with so many enemies around, he knew how to stab his former brother. "At the beginning, didn't you know that the third young master in the capital was the thorn in the eyes of all the princes in the world? You idiot..."

In a very good atmosphere, Qin Feng and his military advisers enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

In the afternoon, Qin Feng summoned Cheng Yu.
