Chapter 253

Not to mention that Yuan Shang was eager to see in Yecheng, Zhang Feng didn't even see a ghost, and the negative impact of forced grain collection - first a small-scale attack on the government office, and finally developed into a large-scale, and mobs from the whole village organized to attack counties and towns, and rob food. This was not even expected beforehand. The riots in the entire western Hebei region seemed to be difficult to calm down in the more than 20 days before the autumn harvest.

Even Shen Pei was defeated for a while. After retreating, he ordered camps, digging deep trenches, setting up more antlers, and two walls were set up. Everything was ready, but for three days, he had never seen a living person.

Is Zhang Feng doing something again?

Could it be that you turn around and beat high-ranking officials?

This... go and save me, I'm afraid of being trapped, I won't save you, my lips are gone, my teeth are cold, and I'm still very familiar with this principle.

Before saving or not, it is very difficult to make a decision...

Since the direction of the marching was changed, it was indeed unstoppable. Along the way, Tongyin and Nei County surrendered after almost symbolic resistance. After conquering Yun County, Taiyuan County, the late-arrival high-ranking attack began to look a little.

Cao Cao also received Zhang Feng's battle reports in Xuchang one after another. The incident at Huguan made him sweat. He had never done such a thing and had no experience. He almost missed that he went out to kill his son-in-law and his confidant adviser. As a result, the guards around Tian's mother's family became extremely strict.

When Zhang Feng reported the plan to change to Bingzhou and the news that he had entered the Taiyuan territory to Cao Cao, the more experienced fox shook his head.

The original intention is good. The art of war once said: avoiding the real and taking advantage of the situation, it is correct to not fight against Jizhou, which has been on high alert. However, if you really want to attack Bingzhou, you will face the Huns and Xianbei bordering Bingzhou!

Every year when the ice and snow melt, these ethnic minorities brought carts and bows and arrows to Sili and other places to plunder Han civilians, and even fought to Luoyang. Bingzhou is much more barren in comparison, but it is also ravaged by the Hu cavalry every year.

If Zhang Feng was preparing to avoid the main force of Jizhou, he would be fine if he wanted to destroy the reinforcements in Bingzhou, but if he really wanted to conquer the entire Bingzhou...

Who will become this "General of the Huns' Central Army" (the protector means suppressing the Huns)?

"You little brat, you're still not mature enough!" Old Cao curled his lips disapprovingly, "Come here!"

Two servants came in.

"Please wait for the general Xia to pass through the mansion."

The servant received the order and was about to withdraw.

"Wait, hand this letter to the eldest son of Qingzhou. No mistakes are allowed!"

Shenpai was slow to march towards Bingzhou step by step, and sent a large number of spies to report as soon as there was any movement in Huguan. It took another three days and there was no news at all. This unusual calmness made Shenpai smell something unusual.

"The whole army, return to Yecheng!"

With Zhang Feng's personality, he would definitely not fight head-on, so he would definitely go to Bingzhou. But Cao's army gave up Jizhou like this, it would be unlikely if it were himself? The only explanation is... Cao Cao has a backup plan!

On the seventh day, not far from Yecheng, Shen Pei received the order from Yuan Shang to return.

Xia Houyuan was ordered by Cao Cao and captured Li Yang with Liu Ye two days ago. The distance between Li Yang and Ye was probably a leg that was faster than a Hummer, which was enough to run back and forth in two days.

No wonder Yuan Shang was worried.

Shen Pei stationed the army in the south of the city, which was the most likely place Xia Houyuan came to, and then hurried to Yuan Shang Mansion.

"It's good that Zhengnan has returned. Xia Houyuan has been in Liyang for two days, but he has not continued to advance. He has always paid attention to quick battles and decisions. Is there any conspiracy?"

As soon as Shen Pei entered the door, Yuan Shang personally brought a cup of steaming tea to him, which made Shen Pei a little flattered.

"The lord doesn't need to panic. Yecheng is strong and there is a lot of food. Don't be afraid that Xia Houyuan can fly in. Just prepare more things needed to defend the city and guarantee it will be foolproof."

Yuan Shang was still going to ask, why don’t we go to withdraw the letter first? Seeing that Shen Pei was so confident, he was so embarrassed to say it.

After waiting for two more days, even the messengers who were asking for help from Bingzhou came two or three times. Xia Houyuan seemed to be preparing for a vacation, but he didn't even move Li Yang's butt.

"What the hell is going on?" Even Shen Pei couldn't hold back his anger. He was not afraid of you coming to fight, but he was afraid of not knowing what you were doing. The so-called "opening" with a strong gun, if you come, I will block it, if you come, you will flood the soil, if you come, you will just deal with it when you fight.

"General Zhao seems a little excited?"

Seeing Zhao Yun's rare high-pitched look on his young face, Cao Ang felt a little surprised.

Zhao Yun, whom he remembers, is a very calm person. Although he is young, he doesn't talk much. He will only answer a few words when asked about him. It turns out that he has an older brother who has only known about it in the past two years.

But now a command made him so excited?

Zhao Yun's thick hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with tears. How many years have you been left with his left hand and left to ignore it. He thought he had been abandoned.

But the order in front of him was clearly stated, using himself as the vanguard and Cao Ang as the chief general to conquer Jizhou.

Ten years of hard work?

Zhao Yun himself knew that although he had never revealed anything, the blood of the warrior in his body was always boiling, hoping that one day he could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and restore peace to the world. In his eyes, Cao Cao is the one who has the ability and qualification to unify the world.

He has great righteousness in the world. Although many scholars were dissatisfied with him and said that he was dictatorial and deceived the emperor, Cao Cao was at least very good to the people. He had only tax reductions and exemptions under his rule, and he had never heard of any increase. He had the most powerful combat power, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was well deserved. Although he was not well-known since his establishment, it was because no one who had seen it was powerful was gone. He also had wealth that no one could match in the world. He himself was a rich man. With his son-in-law, Zhang Feng, who seemed to be a little dissatisfied with him, and the Mi family and Zhen family that were tightly tied together, which was the most basic factor in unifying the world. He also had a group of loyal people to assist him, and they were all the best.

So many reasons are not enough to stay peacefully in this camp?

Even if I only train soldiers every day, patrol the city and inspect defense, I still yearn for one day to kill the enemy and make contributions on the battlefield like Zhang Feng and Xia Houyuan, instead of just having a small fight with some little thieves.

Now, this opportunity has finally come!

He bowed to Cao Ang and said, "I will be loved by the lord, and the eldest son trusts me, and I will be crushed to death and repay you!"

Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction. He knew Zhao Yun's ability very well. He had a view of the overall situation and was stable. He did not have all the bad habits of ordinary young people, and even Zhang Feng could not compare with this...

At least he was angry at the moment for the beauty. (ok, this sentence has never appeared again, I understand.)

Zhao Yun always thought he was an emotional wooden man, but now he realized that he was just hiding himself very deeply.

"Zilong, I will ask Niu Jin to help you, and I will have five thousand people with you. In two days, the food and grass will be purchased and the army will be sent immediately!"

"Here!"

Zhao Yun lifted his robe and forgot that he should go out back, but Cao Ang didn't pursue it. Seeing Zhao Yun's tall and strong body look particularly tall in the sun, he nodded with a smile.

Perhaps, Zilong's performance will be very exciting!
