Chapter 24 Qiao County Strategy

"Damn, what's the matter?" Under Chen Juncheng, Zhao Feng looked at the civil servant who knelt down under Chen Juncheng with a seal in his hand. There was still a group of people kneeling behind him, and he couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.

After two days of rest, Guan Yu and Zhao Feng officially led 50,000 troops to sweep Yuzhou yesterday. Originally, Guan Yu was going to smash the hard bone of Qiao County first, but Li Yan, who went out with the army, suggested, "If Chen County only needs thousands of county soldiers, why doesn't the general send a elite soldier to move forward, or can he go down?"

Guan Yu thought about it, so he sent Zhao Feng to lead 10,000 horses, together with Yin Li, to take Chen County. I didn't expect to be dozens of miles away from Chen County. There have been two civil servants waiting there for a long time. When he stepped forward and asked, it was Chen Jiao who learned that the army was coming. He knew that he was not an opponent, so he surrendered to Kaicheng.

When Zhao Feng led the army to the city of Chen County, he really saw a civil servant holding a seal and asking for surrender there. It should be Chen Jiao, the Taishou of Chen County. Chen Taishou gave up secretly. Congratulations. Please get up quickly. Zhao Feng quickly got off the horse and helped Chen Jiao up. Although he didn't care about Chen Jiao's greed and fear of death, the superficial article of buying people's hearts still had to be done.

"General Xie!" Chen Jiao may have been kneeling for a long time, but he reluctantly stood up tremblingly, but he still held the seal in his hand in front of Zhao Feng and said, "This is Chen Jun's seal. Please accept it." Then he took two thick account books from a person behind him and said, "This is the population of Chen County, Tian Mu and taxes. Chen County has 50,000 household registrations and a population of 190,000. Please check it.

"Chen Taishou's words are heavy. This is not a place to talk. Let's go to the city." Zhao Feng saw that he said endlessly and quickly stopped. Chen Zheng was also interested. He didn't say anything and hurriedly invited Zhao Feng and others to the city. At this time, Zhao Feng remembered who Chen Jiao was. Historically, he and Cao Ren guarded Nan County together. Later, Nan County was secretly attacked by Zhuge Liang. After Chen Jiao was captured alive, he gave the military charm to Zhao Yun in order to survive, so that Zhuge Liang easily attacked Xiangyang and Jingzhou.

"It turns out to be him. No wonder he is greedy and afraid of death." Zhao Feng thought of the details of this one and immediately didn't feel too reassured about him. This man seems to be okay with government affairs, but I'm afraid it's impossible to expect him to be loyal. After being busy for a while, it is better to advise Liu Bei not to let him guard the marginal jurisdiction of Chen County, and transfer to the interior to a little more reassurance.

After taking over Chen County, Zhao Feng left 6,000 elite soldiers and Lieutenant Yin Li stationed in Chen County, and then led the remaining 4,000 people to join Guan Yu. As for how to reorganize and surrender the army, the Xuzhou army is already familiar with this, and Zhao Feng can deal with it even if he is not in Yin Li.

All the way, Zhao Feng led the army and Guan Yu in Qiao County that night. Second General, what's the situation today? After Zhao Feng and Guan Yu greeted each other, they asked directly. In fact, he also saw that there were also dead bodies under Qiao County. Obviously, there was a fierce siege today.

"Alas, Du Yuan refused to surrender and did not dare to fight. He turned out to be a shrinking turtle. During the day, he waved his army and attacked several times, with more than 2,000 casualties, but failed to attack. Guan Yu was also a little helpless. Zhao Feng can completely understand Guan Yu's mood. What he is most afraid of in the siege is that the opponent defends the city. Now Du Yuan is determined not to come out, so he can only slowly break his son of a bastard. But this kind of play not only consumes a lot, but even if you can capture the city, you can often only get a ruin. If you want to govern it well, you don't have to think about it for two or three years.

"Yuan Jian went to persuade him to surrender, but Du Yuan took the opportunity to shoot an arrow. If you hadn't avoided quickly, I'm afraid you would have died. Guan Yu pointed to Liao Huadao, who wrapped his arm beside him, and the latter also looked helpless.

"Yuan Jian, how about Du Yuan's surname?" Zhao Feng didn't know what to do after thinking about it. Let's ask Liao Hua, who is most familiar with him, to see if he can find any flaws in terms of surname.

"General Zhao, Du Yuan is greedy for money and lustful, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death. Now that General Guan is here, he will never dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy. Liao Hua thought for a time.

"That's it!" Zhao Feng also muttered in his heart. After Chen Jiao surrendered in the morning, Zhao Feng thought of letting Chen Jiao write a fake letter to deceive Du Yuan out of the city. Unexpectedly, Chen Jiao told Zhao Feng that Cao Yan gave Du Yuan a death order, and he was only allowed to stick to the war, and the rest of the counties who asked for help could not go to the rescue. Now it is obvious that Cao Jian would rather lose the rest of Yuzhou, but Qiao County must keep it. In this way, even if Guan Yu takes Yuzhou, he will have a nail stuck in his throat.

"We are greedy for money and lustful. We have no money here, and we have no beauty. How can we seduce this person to be fooled?" Zhao Feng couldn't do it for a while. How about the defense of Qiaojun City? Zhao Feng thought for a few thought and asked, if it really doesn't work, then there is only a strong attack.

"Jie County is the location of the Cao Qian clan. The city is high and dangerous, and there is enough food and fodder. In addition to Du Yuan, there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the city, and the hearts of the people are united, so it is difficult to capture them in a hurry. Guan Yu is also not very optimistic about the strong attack.

"Oh, where's Mr. Xianhe?" Zhao Feng turned around and felt that there was someone missing. After careful count, he found that Jian Yong was not there, even Guan Ping and Hou Cheng were not there.

"Oh, Xianhe went to Runan to contact the two leaders Liu Pi and Gong Du. In addition, General Hou Cheng also led people to occupy Xiangcheng, and Ping'er went with him." Guan Yu replied. Gong Du and Liu Pi? Zhao Feng had a bright light in his mind, and he suddenly had some ideas.

"What's General Zhao's plan?" When Li Yan saw Zhao Feng's expression change, he immediately knew what he was thinking. There is no clever plan. It depends on whether Gong Du and Liu Pi can muddle through. Zhao Feng thought for a thought.

"General Zhao means to let Liu Pi and Gong both sneak into Qiao County?" Li Yan immediately understood after listening to Zhao Feng's words. Yes, I just don't know if they are familiar with Du Yuan before. If you don't know each other well, Du Yuan will naturally not take them in; if you are too familiar with them, you can't do it. If Du Yuan knew that they had been in contact with us in Xuzhou, he would not take them in. Zhao Feng continued.

"I know that they used to have some contact with us in Woniu Mountain. As for whether Du Yuan knew whether Liu Pi and others surrendered to the lord or not, I'm not sure. The Liaohua interface on the side.

"Well, I guess Liu Pi and Gong Du will arrive tomorrow. Let's see the situation then!" Guan Yu met Du Yuan, a person who was afraid of death. Now he can only take one step at a time. If he really can't do it, he can only fight hard. After everyone's deliberation, they still decided to wait until Liu Pi and Gong arrived tomorrow.

Not to mention that everyone in Guan Yu's army is working together at this time, Du Yuan, the governor of Qiao County, who had just taken office, was also very unhappy. Please be gentle!" Du Yuan angrily scolded the man who bandaged his wound. Although he secretly attacked Liao Hua during the day, he was also shot through his left arm by Guan Yu's arrow, which was really retribution.

"General Wen Lie is here!" With the voice of the doorman, a teenager came in proudly. Du Taishou, why do you refuse to leave the station today? The person who came was quite responsible for it. However, Du Yuan did not dare to scold him like a Taishou, because he was Cao Xiu, Cao's nephew. Major General, Guan Yu has the courage of ten thousand people, which is not comparable to us. The only way to do this is to stick to the city and wait for the prime minister's reinforcements. Du Yuan sighed. After being the governor of Qiao County, Du Yuan found that this position was far from as beautiful as he thought. Not because of anything else, but because there are many children of Cao Xun's clan in Qiaojun City, Du Yuan dares not offend anyone, and he can't afford to offend. This Taishou is really a little aggrieved.

"But if you stick to it all the time, the morale of the soldiers will be damaged. Moreover, Guan Yu will also capture Ruyin, Runan and Xiangcheng and other places. At that time, Qiao County will be a lonely city. Cao Xiu continued. He was also a person who was familiar with military books since he was a child. Seven years ago, when he was more than ten years old, he came all the way from Jiangdong to Qiao County alone to join Cao Qian. If it hadn't been for some physical problems recently, Cao Wei would not have let him go back to Qiao County to recuperate. He didn't want this recuperation just in time for Guan Yu to attack the city.

"At this point, we have to stick to it. Anyway, there is enough food in the city. It's not a problem for me to stay for a year or two. The Prime Minister can't send rescue troops for a year or two. Du Yuan also persuaded patiently.

"Well, Guan Yu is certainly an enemy, but if Guan Yu hadn't called for the battle, let me go to war and kill one or two of his generals, so as to boost morale." Cao Xiu suddenly said.

"How does this work? General Wen Lie, how can you fight with people when you are recovering from a serious illness? In case the major general is a little injured, Du can't afford to suffer!" Du Yuan was shocked when he heard the words. He joked that if Cao Xiu had a mistake, Cao Yan would not have skinned him.

"It doesn't matter, my body has already recovered. This time, except for Guan Yu, the rest of the people are either the former generals of Lv Bu or the old part of the yellow scarf. I believe I can deal with it. Cao Xiu meditated. Cao Xiu didn't know that Zhao Feng was also in Qiaojun now. Of course, he can't be blamed for this. After all, Zhao Feng just arrived at night, and his flag was not raised during the day.

"Let's wait until tomorrow!" In the face of Cao Xiu, who was full of fighting spirit, Du Yuan could only try to comfort him for a while, but the trace of worry in his heart lingered.

In Guan Yu's military tent outside the city, "The guilty man Liu Pi (Gong Du) met General Guan!" Two big men in yellow said goodbye. Two leaders, please get up quickly! It's really gratifying for the two of you to give up the secret today!" Guan Yu is not very polite, but the scene still needs to be explained. Then Jian Yong, who can speak, introduced the people in the account to Liu Pi and Gong.

At this time, Li Yan also entered the door and said, "Second General, General Shicai Hou Cheng sent someone to deliver a letter to him, and Xiangcheng has also been completely taken over. However, he only had 5,000 people. He didn't want to attack Anfeng and Yiyang again. Fortunately, Yuan Shujun there didn't use it to provoke him.

"Good!" Guan Yu also slapped the table when he heard the words: "Now there is only the hard bone of Qiao County. Invite the two leaders to come here, that's why.

Liu Pi and Gong both looked at each other, and then said, "Let General Guan go."
