Chapter 26 Zhao Botao put Qiao Ying under house arrest, and Yuan Benchu fought against Cao Cao again

"What else can I do? I have to live in seclusion in the countryside alone and live a peaceful life." Xiao Qiao replied, but the fluster in her eyes still did not escape Zhao Feng's eyes.

"I think it's good that revenge is not what you can do. Don't do anything stupid." Zhao Feng nodded and said deliberately.

"Who said I was going to find Sun Quan?" Xiao Qiao hurriedly defended after listening to Zhao Feng's words. As soon as the words came out, he realized that he was not self-defense. Now it's not just Zhao Feng, Diao Chan and other three women who heard her and understood that she still didn't give up revenge.

"Sun Quanyuan is in Jiaozhou. How can you take revenge on him? You will only send yourself into the mouth of the tiger. Zhao Feng looked at Xiao Qiao with a stubborn face in front of him and said bitterly, and Diao Chan and others also persuaded each other. Xiao Qiao bit her lips and said nothing. Obviously, she refused to give up her persistence.

"I know I can't convince you, so I have to let you go." Zhao Feng looked at Xiao Qiao's posture and immediately realized that he could not convince her. At present, he used the most direct method.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Qiao was stunned when he heard the words.

"What do you mean? That is to say, I won't let you go now. At the beginning, you were my prisoner in Poyang, but I let you go. Now you are my prisoner again, but I won't let you go this time. Zhao Feng didn't care whether this truth made sense or not. Suo's surname was unreasonable with her. She felt much more comfortable when she said it, and she didn't know whether she was a psychopath.

"General Zhao, when did I, Qiao Ying, become your prisoner again?" Xiao Qiao was a little angry when he heard that he was so unreasonable. I said you are you. What's more, now Sun Quan and Li's soldiers are clearly opposed. If you insist on going to Jiaozhou, you are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and I can't let you go. Zhao Feng continued to talk nonsense.

"You are a scoundrel!" Xiao Qiao finally understood that General Zhao in front of him was playing a scoundrel, and he was completely angry. Even if you are a scoundrel, you can't watch you die. Zhao Feng shook his head. Looking at Xiao Qiao with an angry face in front of him, he added: "Your son has passed away, you can go back to Lujiang to pay tribute. I will send someone to secretly protect you and prevent Sun Quan from arresting you again. After the memorial service, you'd better come to Chaisang to live. There is Zhou Gongjin's old house here. If you live here, no one will bully you.

Xiao Qiao heard the words silently for a long time, "Don't think about running. Your sister is still in Wucheng, right? If you run away, I will go to your sister's trouble. Zhao Feng's surname was more threatening. Xiao Qiao immediately looked up at Zhao Feng with a cheap smile when he heard the words. If his eyes could kill people, Zhao Feng would have died a thousand times.

The result of the stalemate was that Xiao Qiao was forced to obey Zhao Feng's arrangement. Brother-in-law, is she all right? Zhen Mi watched Xiao Qiao's carriage fade away and asked worriedly.

"Should it be all right?" Zhao Feng is not sure about the authenticity. I don't know that his nonsense really makes Xiao Qiao love and hate him. He is not only grateful for his rescue, but also has no choice but to be domineering. I know that he is for his own good, but I can't fully accept such an understanding. The taste of this is really hard to say.

Xiao Qiao's departure did not bring much change to Zhao Feng's life, and soon everything returned to normal. Not long after the Spring Festival, news came from the north that Yuan Shao and Cao Wei fought fiercely in the area of Chen Liu, and the war was extremely fierce.

This time, Yuan Shao fully learned the lesson of the battle of Guandu. He was extremely cautious in using troops and almost step by step. He ignored Cao Yan's small-scale disturbances and only wanted to steadily push forward to Chen Liu. Moreover, he also caught better fighters. After the drought in the north this year, the water level of the Yellow River fell. Yuan Shao took the opportunity of Cao's army to cross the Yellow River from Pingqiu before the Spring Festival and set foot in the camp. Cao Shen hurriedly led the army to fight, but after all, Yuan Shao had a large number of people. Cao Shen fought before the New Year, but on the whole, there were more defeats and few victories in this battle.

It is different from the wealth of the last Guandu War. Due to the drought in the north, the food and fodder on both sides were not enough to pay too much for the war. This time, Cao Wei only brought 50,000 horses, and Yuan Shao was less than 300,000. But there are 50,000 to 300,000 on the plain, which is extremely dangerous. Recently, as long as Cao Wei went to war, Yuan Shao was suppressed by the soldiers and surrounded and annihilated. If there is no war, Yuan Shao will push forward slowly. The grain and grass are heavy and accompanied by the army. He will never allow Cao Qian to take advantage of it, so that he will attack the grain road as before.

"This time we will fight against Yuan Shao again, and our army will be defeated in a row. What should we do?" Cao's angry watch threw it on the table, glanced down, and stared at the group of counselors. Except for Guo Jia, who was seriously ill and stayed in Xuchang to recuperate, and Xun Yu, who had always stayed in the rear to prepare logistics, all the counselors under his command came this time. As for the generals, Yan Liangwenchou did not want to be the enemy of the old master and took the initiative to apply to garrison Yongzhou. In addition, Cao Ren and Xu Huang stayed in Liang County and Xiangcheng to prevent Liu Bei. The remaining Xiahou brothers, Cao Hong and Li Dianlejin are all here.

Guo Jia and Xun Yu are not here, and Jia Xu's qualifications are still shallow. Naturally, the counselors are headed by Cheng Yu and Xun You. Cao Yanshi looked at the two people talking when they asked questions. Cheng Yu's eyes turned a few times, and then he said, "Master, I have a plan, or I can turn the world around and break through Yuan Shao. It's just extremely dangerous. If you are careless, you will die."

"Zhong De, but it doesn't matter. At present, the situation is not good for us. Naturally, we need to win in the near." When Cao Yan heard the words, he smiled bitterly and signaled Cheng Yu Ming's words. Cheng Yu nodded and said slowly, "At present, our army has been defeated in a row, and the morale is low, but the art of war is as saying: put it to die. Therefore, I want to follow Han Xin and set up an ambush on all sides. The army is divided into ten teams and killed them layer by layer. If you lead to the river, there is no way out. At this point, you can fight back. In this way, this battle will be won."

"Oh, Zhongde, let's talk about it in detail." Cao Yan was clearly interested, and immediately asked Cheng Yu to come forward and not mention it in detail. Everyone has been discussing for a long time, and the specific team will be led by who will be determined one by one.

"Lord, Yuan Shao is coming fiercely now. Why don't you send someone to connect Liu Bei to attack Qingzhou to force Yuan Shao not to look at each other?" Liu Ye suddenly stepped forward and said.

"Lord, the previous attack broke through Yuzhou, and it has become an endless trend with Liu Bei. Even if it is connected, Liu Bei may not agree!" Xun You shook his head and said that he was obviously not very interested in Liu Ye's proposal.

"Exstence, Wen He, what has Liu Bei been busy with recently?" Cao Yan didn't agree with Liu Ye's words, so he turned to Jia Xu's recent Liu Bei's movements.

"After Liu Bei got Jing Xiang, he ordered Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others to guard Jingzhou. It was said that Zhuge Liang sent Yangwei General Liu Pan to lead 30,000 troops to take Nanyang to attack Wuguan to the west." Jia Xu said slowly.

"Attack Wuguan?" Cao Yan was also a little surprised when he heard the words. Don't worry, the lord thinks it's just a bluff between Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang. After Liu Bei got Jing Xiang, why did he need a certain amount of time to consolidate Jing Xiang? How could he use swords in vain? Jia Xu was half persuaded and half comforted.

"Wen He's words are not bad, but you need to be cautious in everything. It is said that Zhu Ling, the general of Wuguan, should be careful not to make mistakes." Cao Xiu nodded and said.

"Meng De, at present, Liu Bei has won Jing Xiang for the first time, and his heart is not stable. What's more, the water flooded Jiangling, and the people's hearts are not attached. Why don't you take the opportunity to attack it? The male duck with Xu You's surname sounded again at this time. To say, Xu You also has a surname. When he is in a good mood, he will still call him Lord Cao. When he is in a normal mood, he will be called Meng De. When he is in a bad mood, he will directly call his nickname Aman. Among the counselors, there is no one who is arrogant.

"I have wanted to take Jing Xiang for a long time, but I don't have any skills!" Cao's expression didn't change much. He just smiled bitterly, but he didn't know what a bitter smile was.

"Xu Chang has 100,000 Xun Wen's troops, and Xiangcheng has Xu Gongming. What does it mean that there is no one?" Xu Youqi said.

"Even if there are people, there is no food and fodder!" Cao sighed. Food and fodder, the biggest problem that plagues the three giants, is now vividly reflected. If Yuan Shao had enough food and fodder, I'm afraid he would have another 500,000 troops to accompany Cao Qian to play happily. If Cao Qian had enough food and fodder, he would have entered Nanyang long ago. At present, Cao Qian had 250,000 troops under his command, 100,000 were stationed in Xuchang to prevent Liu Bei, 50,000 were stationed in Yongzhou, and 50,000 were stationed in Sizhou. He personally led 50,000 to fight against Yuan Shao. That's all the way to mobilize the army; if Liu Bei had enough food and fodder, he would not only do this little move in Wuguan. Especially Liu Bei, although there has always been enough food and fodder. But after extorting Yuan Shao's war horses, fighting and rebuilding Jingzhou, he is now a little tight.

"Yes, Wen He, Wang Zhongxuan and others wrote to Liu Bei to severely punish Zhao Feng. What was the result?" When it comes to Jingzhou, Cao Shen suddenly remembered the person who made him suffer a lot, and he was also extremely concerned about his life and death.

"Liu Bei demoted him to Chai Sang Taishou and led General Ying Yang." Jia Xu's words are concise and concise. Cao Qian also frowned when he heard the words, and the fourth grade was reduced to the fifth grade. This degree of derogatory officials is simply a symbol of surname. It seems that it is unrealistic to remove Zhao Feng by this.

"Master, Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui took advantage of the territory of the Xiongnu to raid Bingzhou. Is it reliable?" Xun You, who has always been cautious, raised his own concerns.

"Ma Teng and others will not work hard. Although Xiliang is sparsely populated, they are short of food for almost every year. If they get the three counties of Longxi, it will be enough to survive. Ma Teng and Han Sui will not understand it." Cao said in a low voice. As for the result of ceding the three counties, Cao Wei was not very worried. As long as Zhong Yao can guard the Sanguan, Ma Teng and Han Sui can't take an inch forward. With Zhong Yao's ability, coupled with the fact that the Xiliang army is good at field warfare, but not good at attacking the city, Cao has absolute confidence in this.

"What if the Xiongnu intervenes in the way?" Cao Hong raised his own questions.

"General Zilian is worried too much. The current Xiongnu is not in the same year, and has been suppressed by Xianbei. With the ability of Xianbei, we can't help Ma Teng and Han Sui, let alone the Xiongnu of Bo Xishan. Cheng Yu smiled and said that Cao Hong was relieved when he heard the words.

"You already know what's going on here, and now it's better to break through Yuan Shao's army in front of you. If we can win this battle, we can let go of Hebei and compete for the world!" Cao Yan finally said to everyone with his unique heroic words, and for a while, he was also full of momentum in the camp.

However, what Cao Jian and Jia Xu did not expect was that Liu Pan's army, who sent troops to Wuguan at this time, was not for bluffing, but to take down Wuguan.
