With Cao Ahao's talent and strategy, there is a great possibility that he would be determined to fight with Lin Feng. Even if he eventually loses his entire foundation and has to start over again in the future, he will not let Lin Feng casually take away the entire Yanzhou government from his hands.
county.
In other words, the battle of Taishan County, which Lin Feng has never paid attention to, is likely to turn into an ultimate decisive battle between the Lin and Cao families.
Lin Feng thought about Xun Yu's remark repeatedly, and finally he recognized this result that others regarded as impossible.
To elaborate, aside from the traditional view of people respecting Liu and Cao, judging from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Mengde has never lacked the firm belief of risking everything. On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, many advisers in the tent persuaded Cao to make a fool of himself.
Temporarily avoiding Yuan Shao's attack, he retreated in large strides in exchange for strategic survival space, but faced the difficulties with a big face. Although there were dangers and dangers, he finally defeated Yuan Shao, creating a famous example in history of the weak defeating the strong.
Although it is not easy to compare Lin and Cao with Yuan and Cao during the Battle of Guandu, to Cao Dabailian, there is not much difference.
The enemy is also extremely powerful, but our own side still has a way to retreat.
The only difference is that before the Battle of Guandu, Cao Dabailian had almost all the enemies in the world because he was holding the emperor hostage to control the princes. Apart from fighting against the northern overlord Yuan Shao, he had no possible helpers around him.
The battle between Lin and Cao was different. Lin Feng strongly supported Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, making everyone in the world the enemy of Cao Cao like Cao Cao in history. On the contrary, Cao Dabai responded with a white face, and he was about to become the leader of the second alliance of princes.
Putting down the documents that Xun Yu sent him, Lin Feng stood up and stretched his waist and legs. Lin Feng was about to go out to have dinner at his eldest brother, Uncle Huang's house, when the curtain at the door opened and a person walked in.
I looked up and saw that Jinan Prefect Tian Toyota Yuanhao had walked in.
"My lord, I have something important to discuss with you, so please step aside."
Lin Feng turned his head left and right. Apart from a maid serving tea and water, there were only two guards standing in the corner with swords on their waists.
"Hey, they are all members of our own family. If you want to retreat, just retreat. If you have anything to do, just say it."
Lin Feng really doesn't care too much about this. He mainly relies on predicting the battle in advance. In other words, even if someone secretly provides his pre-war strategy to the enemy, as long as the enemy changes, Lin Feng will naturally make corresponding changes.
There is no such thing as any leakage of secrets.
Tian Feng has a stubborn temperament. As long as it is something he is serious about, he will never give up until he achieves his goal.
"My lord, this is not appropriate. I have heard the sage's words: if the king is not secretive, his ministers will lose; if the minister is not secretive, he will lose his virginity. It is related to the prosperity and decline of the family and the country. No matter how cautious you are, how can you put it in the public and let anyone listen to it at will?
Woolen cloth?"
Lin Feng immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid that my subordinates will drop their book bags. It's not that I can't understand classical Chinese, but it's definitely hard to listen to. If you surrender earlier, you won't have to suffer too much.
He waved his hands to signal the two guards to leave, and when Tian Feng suggested to retreat, the little maid had already left with a pale face.
When there were only Lin Feng and him in the room, Tian Feng solemnly stood up and saluted Lin Feng: "My lord came to Jinan this time, definitely to send his troops south to deal with Chen Liu's puppet dynasty. I risked my life to make this statement."
, Taishan County must not be chosen as the place for the first battle. Cao Jun has mobilized his troops frequently in the past two months. Several main armies have entered Taishan County and left within ten days. I suspect that Cao Jun has a dangerous ambush in Taishan County.
, if our army attacks forcefully, we will definitely lose our troops and be defeated."
Tian Tietou is indeed Tian Tietou, and his temperament and temperament have never changed.
A country is easy to change, but a character is hard to change.
Judging from the tone of his words, he couldn't blame Yuan Shao in history for first imprisoning him and then killing him, without any regard for his full talent and amazing strategic vision.
Naturally, Lin Feng would not be as angry as Yuan Shao when Tian Feng rashly predicted a defeat before the war started.
"What Yuan Hao said is absolutely true. Wen Ruo has also noticed the movements of Cao Jun in recent times. But does Yuan Hao know why I chose to attack Taishan County in the end?"
Tian Feng raised his neck and said: "Since the day our plain army was established, we have always won hundreds of battles on the frontal battlefield and shocked the world. However, the past achievements cannot be used as proof of your willfulness, my lord. Now there is a raging war in Taishan County, and everyone is at war.
, almost all of our army's exploration horses never returned, suffering heavy losses. Without knowing the enemy's situation, I firmly oppose any desperate attempt."
"Our army surpasses Cao's army in terms of both military strength and combat power. Even if there are some tricks, it cannot change the situation on the frontal battlefield."
Tian Feng was so angry that his eyes were cracked, and bloodshot eyes could be seen vaguely in the corners of his eyes, which showed the great strength he exerted: "Master, why did you say such words of defeat? When the two armies are fighting, especially a super-large-scale legion-level war, the competition is not between the two sides."
Who is braver and more fierce? The final decision of victory or defeat always depends on which side is more careful and cautious. Our army can obviously avoid the enemy's edge temporarily and use multiple attacks to gradually erode Cao's army's effective strength, thereby gradually establishing a comprehensive advantage.
, I really don’t know why my lord is so stubborn and insists on attacking the enemy’s strongest force. Is it just to let everyone in the world know about my lord’s bravery?”
Lin Feng blinked. His originally firm determination to fight was somewhat shaken by Tian Feng.
What Tian Tietou said is actually correct. He knew that the enemy was deceitful, but relied on his own strength to crush his opponent. Doesn't this feel like the famous invincible overlord in history, Xiang Yu, Xiang Dawang?
?
Tian Feng saw Lin Feng's move and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "My lord, please follow a certain point of view."
After saying that, he took Lin Feng to the map of Yanzhou, stretched out his hand and pointed: "Taishan County is the only protruding part of Yanzhou. According to my judgment, after Cao Jun found out that Lu County and Dongguan fell into the hands of our army, he was ready to abandon them at any time.
Taishan County, in order to preserve its strength as much as possible. What happened in Cao's camp in the end cannot be speculated, but the recent deployment of Cao's army is obviously completely opposite to the original goal. Not only did they station heavy troops in Shanyang County, but they also inevitably
Taking advantage of the defense change, a large number of elite troops were transferred to Taishan County, with the intention of launching a decisive battle with our army in Taishan County."
Lin Feng looked at Shanyang County and asked hesitantly: "Yuan Hao's intention is to use Shanyang as the main attack target and block a large number of Cao's elite troops in Taishan County in order to achieve the greatest results?"
Tian Feng shook his head repeatedly, as if he had eaten a pig's tail: "No, no, no, I and Duke Ju have discussed it many times and believe that the lord should not focus on Cao Mengde, who has strong soldiers and horses at this time. Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou is old and weak, and his energy has declined.
, causing the Xuzhou army to become full of twilight, both in terms of combat strength and fighting spirit, it was reduced to a second-rate army. If our army uses Dongguan and Lu County as its base and quickly launches a large army to attack Xuzhou, it will be possible to force Tao Gongzu to surrender within three months at most.
Take the whole territory of Xuzhou into your arms."
Lin Feng felt a little scratched his head.
There are major differences in the group of advisers under his command.
The Yingchuan Clan headed by Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others believed that because Xuzhou Tao Gongzu was getting older and his children and grandchildren were not living up to expectations, he was full of twilight and had no ambition at all. It was not a disaster, so it was better to throw him away. Go to the side to support and attack the growing Cao Cao Group with all your strength.
However, the Jizhou faction led by Tian Feng and Jushou believed that Cao Mengde had strong soldiers and horses, and Yi could slowly encroach on it. They should capture Xuzhou with thunderous force, and then use Qingxu's land to recruit Qingxu's soldiers, who have always been famous for their strength, and use Qingxu to merge with Jiyou. The power of the five states will support him, and then overthrowing Cao will be as easy as flipping the palm of his hand.
Lin Feng, who was hesitant in his heart, also wanted to ask Jia Xu for advice, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Jia Xu was on Xun Yu's side this time.
The three families of Yingchuan, Jizhou and Xiliang were deliberately cultivated by Lin Feng.
It's just that he never thought that there would be a tit-for-tat situation between the two series.
From the perspective of intimacy, he must be willing to trust Xun Yu and Guo Jia of the Yingchuan Clan. These two ministers once assisted Cao Dabailian in pacifying the north in history.
But from another perspective, if Yuan Shao had listened to the persuasion of Tian Feng and Jushu, the outcome of the Battle of Guandu might have been rewritten. If Yuan Shao had defeated Cao Cao, it would not have been impossible to replace Cao Ah Man in history. status.
From this perspective, it seems that Tian Feng and Jushu are not necessarily inferior to Xun Yu and Guo Jia.
