Chapter 3417 Nothing will happen

Chen Bin easily defeated the horse thief who occupied Ji County, and there was almost no suspense in the entire battle.

The horse thieves were originally disorganized and had a sense of honor, and they flew away when the disaster came.

Cao Chun was surprised to hear the soldiers' return that he had occupied Ji County again. He originally wanted Chen Bin to investigate the truth, but he didn't expect that the Changping Guard seemed to have two tricks?

But after Cao Chun and his men rushed to Ji County excitedly, they were all left with anger and disappointment.

The anger was because the city defenses outside Ji County and the fortifications on the city walls were intact!

What this means is no longer necessary...

And disappointment is that nothing is left in Jixian County.

When Xiahou Heng left, he plundered a batch and burned it. After Xiahou Heng left, the local big-name households took advantage of the chaos to rob a batch and took away a batch. Then another horse thief came and slandered the last thing...

Now in Ji County, it is a mess, but there is not much supply.

Cao Chun asked his soldiers to collect some supplies "as much as possible".

As for how to collect and where to collect it, Cao Chun didn't care.

After all, there is an old saying in Shandong, "Those who achieve great things do not care about minor details."

This is what Old Cao did, so the generals of the Cao Xiahou clan naturally followed suit.

Cao Chun climbed the city gate tower and looked north. He knew that although it seemed very calm now, the pursuers of the cavalry would soon arrive here. Zhao Yun must have to gather and appease the people around Yuyang and gather and resettle the prisoners of Cao's army to guard Cao's army. These will take time, but they will not be delayed too long, and they will even be faster than Cao Chun personally.

The fierce offensive of the Northern Region Army of the Cavalry made Cao Chun and other Youzhou soldiers miserable.

Gubeikou is lost.

Yuyang is lost.

Escape in Jixian.

Most of Lu County also escaped...

According to Chen Bin, Ju Yong was also attacked, and he may not be safe now.

Youzhou I worked hard to run!

This feeling is like a stone blocking the chest, and even breathing is painful.

Before the war started, I prepared so many things and so many plans, one by one, one by one, but now, few of them can be implemented smoothly.

Just like the fortifications placed on the walls of Jixian County, they have become like a product...

Cao Chun sighed, and his heart suddenly moved.

If...

"Come! Go and invite Wei Du Chen to come!"

Cao Chun suddenly had a new plan.

Chen Bin came, with some anxiety.

His instinctive feeling seemed a little bad, but he had no good idea. Chen Bin's premonition was realized.

Cao Chun felt that the fortifications in Ji County were also wasted here, so it would be better to use them as much as possible!

"We burn Ji County!" Cao Chun was a little excited, and even said with some gritted teeth, "We secretly set up more tinctures in the four doors of the house, then dug holes and hidden soldiers. At night, we set fire to the city! We can definitely let the cavalry drink a pot!"

Although it would make Cao Chun feel heartbroken when setting fire to Jixian, it would be better than giving it to the Cavalry Army for nothing.

This plan sounds good, just like Chen Bin's parents gave him the word "bin" and hoped that he would be both civil and military, but in the end he would not succeed in his literary career. The wishes of the elders depend on their wishes, and it depends on their personal efforts.

Now Cao Chun’s wish seems to be just a wish...

Chen Bin swallowed and asked nervously: "General... Then, who will stay in the city to ignite the fire?"

Cao Chun seemed very surprised that Chen Bin would ask this question, stared at Chen Bin, and after a while, he asked: "What, don't you want to?"

Cao Chun frowned, "You wouldn't think that war is just about easily joining the formation, waving swords and guns, and then any victory can be achieved... no?"

Chen Bin was speechless.

...

...

Just when Cao Chun said "No," Liu Ye was almost at Yi Jing.

For some reason, the closer he got to Yi Jing, the more uneasy Liu Ye felt. Looking at the long road ahead, he suddenly stopped the convoy.

This is a rare behavior for Liu Ye, because he has been there all the way, and most of the time he is shouting faster and faster...

"Encourt, what's wrong?" The deputy came up from behind and asked, "But what are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Liu Ye was silent for a while and suddenly said, "We can't go to Yijing."

The deputy was a little surprised, "Why?"

"We have met some refugees these two days..." Liu Ye said, his voice low.

The deputy nodded.

Youzhou is now in war, with the chaos of war, and those who have some ability to run away have already run away. Most of the remaining refugees are really helpless, and they are afraid of falling into war disaster, so they will flee to Jizhou with their families.

I won’t mention those who “strengthen the walls and clear the fields”…

Mainly other refugees who fled.

Liu Ye met many such refugees all the way north.

『Yesterday, some refugees said that Yi Jing was occupied by the Cavalry Army…』 Liu Ye said, 『So you can't go to Yi Jing.』

"No..." The deputy couldn't understand.

Isn't that better if Yi Jing was occupied by the cavalry? It won't be better if they have to run to Yuyang further? Anyway, it's the cavalry army. Once they arrive, they will give the edict, and then they will be done?

But Liu Ye had different ideas from his deputy.

As a strategist of at least a second-rate level, Liu Ye has his own understanding and analysis of the battle situation in Youzhou.

Cao's army obviously couldn't hold on.

The failure of Youzhou to protect is a surprising, but also seems to be an inevitable result.

Now that Yi Jing is attacked by the Cavalry, if the news is true, then the Cavalry's control of Youzhou and its pre-war plan will far exceed the predictions of everyone in Shandong.

So since the Cavalry Army has made such a profound plan, will it give up the overall plan just because of just one edict?

Liu Ye felt it was unlikely. Especially the generals of the middle and lower classes of the Cavalry Army, they were completely different from those of the Shandong faction.

It’s easy to see the King of Hell, but it’s difficult for the little ghost to deal with.

Although this sentence was not summarized and popular in the Han Dynasty, it did not prevent Liu Ye from understanding that the edict must be submitted to the senior management of the Cavalry to achieve the greatest and best results.

Especially this edict was originally used to target the Northern Region Army of the Cavalry and Zhao Yun...

If it falls into the hands of others, even if it is finally handed over to Zhao Yun, it may even be handed over to the hands of General Fei Qian of the Cavalry, then wouldn't the plan be lost again?

Therefore, Liu Ye felt that if he arrived at Yijing, he would give all the initiative to the generals of the cavalry in Yijing. Even if he noticed something was wrong, he would not be able to make any changes.

"You can't go to Yijing." Liu Ye glanced at his deputy, "But not all of them are not going... You take half of the people, go slower, go to Yijing, I take the other half of the people and find another way..."

"Ah?" The deputy stared in surprise, "I...I'm going to Yijing?"

"What else?" Liu Ye asked back.

...

...

Late at night, Zhongtiao Mountain Camp.

Cao Cao made great strides into the central army's tent.

The generals stood up to greet them.

"How is the offensive of the Tongguan Cavalry Army today?" When Cao Cao faced the generals and advisers, he still smiled. While asking the three of them to sit down, he asked with a smile, "How are our army's casualties?"

"Today, the wreckage is still being cleaned up on Tongguan land, but the navy still attacks once a day." Lu Chang reported that "the place in Tongguan does not seem to be too anxious to attack. Maybe we have to wait for us to cross the river and be in the danger of the storm before attacking with all our strength."

Tongguan Sakadao is only a small part of the solidity of the treasure.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I don’t know how many soldiers died here.

Cao Cao nodded slightly.

『The casualties in the past two days are not serious... However, due to the failure to replenish materials, the food shortage in various departments is becoming increasingly serious.』 Dong Zhao said, "Although the Guanzhong naval army has not many ships, it poses a great threat to our army crossing the river... It would be fine if the floating bridge is broken, if it threatens Shaanxi and Tianjin...』

After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded slightly.

The other generals and advisers described them one by one, and Cao Cao did not interrupt them halfway.

After they finished speaking, Cao Cao ordered the guards to hang the map out and asked the guards to tinker with some food and drink. After all, it was late at night, and everyone was a little hungry.

Lu Chang and Dong Zhao were in Zhongtiao Mountain. After the meeting was over, they went back to their tent to rest. However, the deputy generals of Tongguan Camp had to rush back overnight, so they also needed to eat a little bit and not to rush on their way with an empty stomach. If they lost their strength to fall into the river halfway, it would be too unlucky.

"The reinforcements and supplies are all there," Cao Cao said with a smile, "It's all here."
