Three Kingdoms: I have a job transfer palace

The Qingzhou defenders knew that King Bingjian had begun to attack Qingzhou, and also knew how powerful his army was. They no longer wanted to stay in Qingzhou to resist the Red Blood Dragon Riders and the Youzhou army.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Cao's order for them to retreat came, they couldn't wait to pack their things and prepare to go to Xuzhou.

However, even if they were anxious to retreat, they did not panic.

Under the command of Le Jin and other generals who stayed in Qingzhou, the Qingzhou Army packed up all the food, grass and baggage they could take away and brought it to Xuzhou, leaving nothing for Liu Feng to use except the territory.

Liu Feng had long known about the Qingzhou Army's movements.

In fact, Cao Cao's order reached Linzi County, the seat of Qingzhou. Just when the governor Jin ordered the army to withdraw to Xuzhou, the Qingzhou branch of Longcheng Newspaper had already found out about the news and quickly passed it on to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng was not surprised by this. As Guo Jia said, since Cao Cao has decided to go to the south for development, it would be a pity to abandon Qingzhou in the north.

Therefore, Liu Feng has been stationing troops in Donglai County and has not continued to send troops to seize the Xuzhou Army's supplies and food.

After all, as long as I stay in Donglai with peace of mind, the entire Qingzhou will be captured in a few days, and there will be no need to waste any more soldiers.

But if we go to snatch the Qingzhou Army's food and grass at this time, we will inevitably have a battle with the Qingzhou Army.

Liu Feng already had a special grain base in Goguryeo County. The grain grown by the transferred farmers was far more nutritious than the grain stolen from Cao Cao.

Therefore, Liu Feng did not bother to snatch the Qingzhou Army's food and grass.

What's more, Liu Feng attacked Qingzhou only for Qingzhou's territory, not to attack Cao Cao.

Cao Cao did not fight with himself and took the initiative to withdraw from Qingzhou, which obviously gave himself enough face, and he also needed food and grass to attack Yangzhou.

Liu Feng respected Cao Cao as a real hero in troubled times and was willing to fight him fairly, so he did not want him to be unable to capture Yangzhou and lose development due to lack of food and grass.

Besides, I was confident that I could easily defeat Cao Cao even in a head-on battle, so I didn't want to hinder Cao Cao in terms of food and grass.

Based on the above reasons, Liu Feng did not take advantage of the Qingzhou Army's retreat to attack, but allowed them to leave safely.

After Cao Cao's Qingzhou army arrived in Xuzhou, he prepared to lead his army south to attack Yangzhou.

But Xi Zhicai stopped him again.

Cao Cao was very puzzled by this. He asked:"Zhicai, didn't you say that we should concentrate our forces to attack Yangzhou, capture Yangzhou as soon as possible and then develop our own power? Why do n't you suggest that now that all the troops have been concentrated here? Did I immediately send troops to attack Sun Jian?"

Xi Zhicai replied:"Since our army attacked Xuzhou at all costs, Sun Jian has been aware of our army's intentions.

So he put aside his conflict with Liu Biao of Jingzhou and led the army instead. Na unified the entire Yangzhou.

Now, Sun Jian has unified Yangzhou for some time. He is already very popular in Jiangdong. After this period of consolidation, Yangzhou must have been made impregnable by him.

Therefore, if our army attacks at this time Yangzhou will definitely suffer heavy losses.

In addition, just as our army wants to use Yangzhou to defend the King of Side by Side, Yangzhou has many waters, and Sun Jian's navy has been practicing in Jiangdong all year round. Its combat effectiveness is far beyond the capabilities of our army's temporarily formed navy. To compete with each other.

So this is not the best time to attack Yangzhou." After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao frowned and asked:"In that case, based on Zhicai's suggestion, when can we attack Yangzhou?

" Zhicai said:"Today, the only one who can compete with Sun Jian's Jiangdong navy is Liu Biao's Jingzhou navy.

Moreover, because of Yuan Shao's instigation, Liu Biao ambushed Sun Jian when he returned from the feudal princes to attack the Dong coalition. , causing Sun Jian's general Zu Mao to die in battle to save Sun Jian.

Therefore, Sun Jian and Liu Biao became enemies. After such a long period of attacking each other, it can be said that it has become a life-or-death situation.

Therefore, our army can use this opportunity to form an alliance with Liu Biao , jointly attack Yangzhou.

With Jingzhou navy holding back Sun Jian's navy, our army can fight Sun Jianjian on land, and only in this way can we defeat Sun Jian."

After hearing Xi Zhicai's plan, Cao Cao not only clapped his hands and applauded.

After all, Sun Jian is a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. Although the civil servants and generals under his command are not as good as himself, after all, he occupies a favorable location. If he wants to defeat him alone, it will still take some effort.

But with Liu Biao's help, it would be much easier to defeat Sun Jian.

So Cao Cao agreed to Xi Zhicai's plan, and Xi Zhicai decided to go to Jingzhou in person to lobby Liu Biao, so that Liu Biao and Cao Cao would join forces and jointly send troops to attack Yangzhou.

On the other side, after renovating in Donglai County for a period of time, Liu Feng was ready to lead his army on a westward expedition again, and his first goal was Beihai.

Although Cao Cao has abandoned Qingzhou and will withdraw the army that stayed in Qingzhou.

However, Cao Cao withdrew only his direct lineage, that is, Yu Jin, Le Jin and others who regarded him as the lord, and the Qingzhou soldiers who were conquered by Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

Local officials in Qingzhou, such as the Prime Minister of Beihai and the Prime Minister of Qi, were not direct descendants of Cao Cao, but were appointed by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, so they did not evacuate with Cao Cao.

The prime minister of Beihai Kingdom was Kong Rong, a famous scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Feng's understanding of Kong Rong came more from the Three-Character Sutra"Rong four years old can make pears", and he also knew that he was a descendant of Confucius.

In fact, Kong Rong was the 20th grandson of Confucius. He was not only extremely intelligent since he was a child, but also had outstanding literary talent. He was one of the seven sons of Jian'an.

In addition, the relationship between Kong Rong and Taishi Ci was also very good.

Taishi Ci was a native of Donglai County, Qingzhou, not far from Kong Rong's Beihai Kingdom. In his early years, Taishi Ci had rifts with officials in Donglai due to some trivial matters.

Kong Rong had long heard that Taishi Ci was a man of righteousness and excellent in martial arts, so he took great care of Taishi Ci's family and helped Taishi Ci's mother many times when Taishi Ci was not at home.

Therefore, Taishi Ci was grateful to Kong Rong and did not want Liu Feng to meet Taishi Ci.

So he said to Liu Feng:"My lord, Kong Beihai is a famous person today and a descendant of Confucius. He has an excellent reputation among the people.

Moreover, he has rescued Ci's old mother many times. Ci can't bear to fight with Kong Beihai at this time." When we meet each other, I would like to be alone in Beihai to persuade him to surrender to the lord."

Liu Feng was naturally very happy to be able to capture Beihai without spending a single soldier, so he agreed to Taishi Ci's request and sent him into Beihai to persuade Kong Rong to surrender.
