Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 143 Cut Huainan to Soochow, Cao Cao moved the capital

"Driving~"

Half an hour later, Xia Houyuan led his army to the riverside.

Seeing the fall of Cao's army piled up like a mountain, and Cao Zhang being hung on a long spear, Xia Houyuan burst into tears.

"Ziwen."

"My good nephew, among all the sons of Meng De, you are the only one who has inherited his bravery."

"Just like Huo Qubing of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, why did you die so early!~"

Xia Houyuan had already added a lot of gray hair to his head.

Since his sons Xiahouheng and Xiahouba were killed by Liu Feng one after another, and since Xiahoudun died in the Battle of Guanzhong, Cao Wei's generals have become fewer and fewer. He was stationed on the north bank of the Huai River to stop the soldiers of the Eastern Wu.

At this moment, he was also transferred back.

When he was sad, Lieutenant General Yang Fu couldn't help but stepped forward, "General, there is fire in the direction of Tongguan, I'm afraid it has already fallen. This white-robed cavalry has almost no corpses left on the battlefield."

"Let's retreat first, and if we don't leave, the iron cavalry under Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei will come after us."

"Take the body of Mr. Cao Zhang and withdraw!~"

Xia Houyuan's face was full of sadness.

Tongguan can't hold on anymore, where else can they hold on?
After the fall of Hongnong, the ruins of Luoyang were also precarious. Could it be possible to retreat to the front line of Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass and resist hard?

But... most of Hanoi County has been captured by Wei Yan, and now even Liu Feng's iron cavalry can drive straight into the hinterland of Yanzhou under Cao Cao's rule. How crazy is this?
Xia Houyuan, who used cavalry across the Central Plains and Hebei, has not yet figured out why there is such a white-robed army that can fight well under Liu Feng's command.

Cao Zhang is not mediocre, and he is unique in commanding cavalry.

Seven thousand against seven thousand, even if you lose, you can still escape!

What is it that keeps him from escaping?
Xia Houyuan thought of Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness.

In the past, Lu Bu surrendered to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo possessed the invincible Xiliang cavalry and Bingzhou cavalry.

But on the side of the Eighteenth Route princes, there was Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness.

Just this way of cavalry is enough to withstand the two big cavalry.

This is the real elite of all battles.

Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Battle of Guanzhong failed to show their strengths.

It was defeated by Liu Feng's way of violent general killing.

Haven't recovered yet...

Moreover, their armor also needs to be improved like Liu Feng's Han Dragon Cavalry before they can enter the battlefield again.

It also means that in the next few years, this white-robed army will become Cao Jun's nightmare!
-

In Xuchang, Cao Cao was sitting in the car. The ten days of recuperation had made his complexion recover a lot.

"Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass can only temporarily withstand the army under Liu Feng's command. The land of the Central Plains is not a place to guard for a long time after all. I vow to avenge my son Cao Zhang's revenge."

"Wen Ruo, what's your plan?"

"It's better for the lord to cut Huainan from Soochow and make an agreement with Zhou Yu that our army will send troops to recover Tongguan and Nanyang counties. He, Zhou Yu, will lead the army in four groups, attacking Nanjun all the way, Changsha County all the way, Guiyang County all the way, and Guiyang County all the way. Go to Jiaozhou and attack Nanhai County."

"Besides, isn't my lord also the Princess Qinghe?"

"It's better to marry her to Wu Hou Sun Quan as a concubine."

"What?" Cao Cao was furious, "Xun Yu, are you going to make your orphaned daughter a concubine for Sun Quan?"

"Not only that, but the prime minister has to become king of Wei, present himself as the son of heaven, and canonize Sun Quan as king of Wu, so that he can not be weaker than Liu Bei."

"In today's world, three points are a foregone conclusion."

"But our army has lost Guanzhong. From now on, the three armies will fight for the land of the Central Plains." Cheng Yu stroked his beard with one hand, "Prime Minister, now Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou are all moving their people to the north. You moved your capital to Yecheng From then on, we will use Yecheng as the foundation, follow Yuan Shao's ambition, and build a solid line of defense for the four states in Hebei."

"Northern Expedition to Xianbei and Wuhuan."

"Capturing war horses and barbarians and serving as cavalry, within three to five years, they will surely be able to train 20 infantry, and more than [-] iron cavalry from Xianbei and Wuhuan Yi."

"At that time, if we unite with Soochow to carry Liu, our army will have a great opportunity to regain the counties in the Central Plains and enter Guanzhong."

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, feeling the rough and bumpy driving north.

"Wenhe, what do you think?" He glanced at Jia Xu.

Although Jia Xu was defeated in Guanzhong, Cao Cao also knew that Jia Xu was not to blame. If he had been in command at the time, he would not have been able to do what Jia Xu did. The four-stage cavalry attack made Liu Feng overwhelmed.

He could also use Yan Xing to rebel against Han Sui, almost kill Ma Chao, and regain Chang'an!

If it weren't for Liu Feng's better layout, all the generals under his command had arrived, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others came to the rescue, I am afraid that this battle will be a great victory in Guanzhong!

"There are so many people in the states of the Central Plains that the prime minister is not as good as they are. They only take away the strong, the old and the weak, women and children, and leave them to Liu Feng."

"Oh?" Cao Cao raised his eyelids, "The plan will be safe?"

"Prime Minister, Liu Feng attacked Jiaozhou, and all the 35 stones of grain and grass he exchanged from Soochow were put into Jiaozhou. Now Jiaozhou is building roads and plowing fields, and it consumes another million military grains. In exchange."

"Jingzhou's grain and grass have already been consumed in the battle of Nanjun and Xiangyang."

"He got grain and grass from Yizhou, at most 200 million shi."

"Over 50 shi were consumed during the conquest."

"Liangzhou is barren and war-torn. To appease the people and encourage farming, 30 shi are needed."

"The same is true in Guanzhong."

"How much rations does Liu Feng have left?"

"The land of the Central Plains, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, most of Xuzhou, and a part of Qingzhou, has a population of tens of millions. Our army only migrated 200 million to the north to collect all the money, food and grass. Even if the people of the Central Plains hate some lords, they can It will bring great trouble to Liu Feng."

"The reputation he gained from Liu Fengzhi and printing techniques, if he doesn't save these 800 million people from the fire and water, he will be a sage in the mouth of Confucian scholars."

"But if he is saved."

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth were drawn slightly, "What do the more than 20 troops under his command who are stationed in the five states eat?"

"If there is another war in the coming year, our army will attack from five directions, how will he, Liu Feng, resist?"

Lack of food was a headache that Cao Cao also had to deal with.

Yu Jin under him, the head of the five good generals, is quite powerful!

It took him 20 years to store up grain alone.

Cao Cao was fighting on the front line, and the large group of Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu in the back helped him farm.

When he was in Yanzhou before, he was short of food. After winning Xuzhou, he immediately improved. After winning Yuzhou and Qingzhou, he improved a lot, but the land in Guanzhong... has never been able to make ends meet.

Fortunately, there is still Jizhou.

Yuan Benchu, good man!
The prosperity of Jizhou is comparable to that of Jingzhou.

It is also because of this that Cao Cao is willing to move his capital to Yecheng at this moment!
