So Zhou Hao doesn't have to worry about Cao Cao at all? After all, he has a system, so he must follow the main tasks of the system.
Chapter 298 Make up your mind
Since he is determined to subdue Zhang Meng, the first thing to do is to investigate the current situation in Tengzhou. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
Zhou Hao's mind was running fast, and he found a suitable candidate, and he called Li Yuanfang.
"My lord, you are looking for me."
Li Yuanfang quickly stood in front of Zhou Hao respectfully.
Zhou Hao nodded, "Well, now that Cao Cao has conquered four cities in a row, the momentum is very strong."
Li Yuanfang guessed Zhou Hao's intentions, "My lord said so."
"Cao Cao occupied Youzhou, one of the four cities, and next to Youzhou is Tengzhou, you know."
Zhou Hao spoke unhurriedly.
Li Yuanfang naturally understood Zhou Hao's meaning, "My lord, do you mean that we will target Tengzhou next?"
"clever."
Zhou Hao smiled, "As for Tengzhou, I only know that Zhang Meng is in the uprising, but he has not captured it. The situation there should be chaotic now. Go and investigate for me what is going on there."
"Yes, my lord!"
Li Yuanfang readily accepted Zhou Hao's mission. He was also interested in Tengzhou. The rebel army led by Zhang Meng had been there for a while, but they hadn't captured it. It happened that he also went to see what was going on. thing.
Now that the decision has been made, Li Yuanfang quickly embarked on the road to Tengzhou, and Zhou Hao doesn't know the situation in Tengzhou now, so he can only plan his military strength first, and wait for Li Yuanfang to come back to start deploying the next plan.
Li Yuanfang hurried all the way, and soon arrived in Tengzhou. Fortunately, Tengzhou is currently in chaos, and many people are coming in and out of the city gate, so it is very easy for him to sneak into the city.
As soon as I entered the city, I found that the streets in the city were basically empty, and the people in twos and threes on the street also looked dark and in a hurry, obviously rushing about for their future livelihood.
Even so, Li Yuanfang still pretended to be a commoner fleeing from Youzhou, and asked some commoners and soldiers at the city gate to understand the current situation in Youzhou...
"My lord, I found out."
Li Yuanfang returned to Zhou Hao confidently.
Zhou Hao nodded, "Tell me how Tengzhou is doing now?"
"I went to Tengzhou to inquire all over the city and outside the city, and I got similar opinions. It seems that there are still [-] people in Tengzhou and [-] soldiers. It sounds like a small number, but in fact they are all A seasoned soldier."
"Well, go on."
Zhou Hao played with the teacup in his hand.
"Zhang Meng himself was born as a general, so he naturally has his own way of deploying troops and is proficient in tactics, so he is not easy to deal with.
It is in this situation that the strength of both sides is not weak, which has caused the tense situation in Tengzhou. "
Li Yuanfang explained the current situation in Tengzhou in a few words.
Zhou Hao also had a general understanding. There are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers on the one hand, and the other is proficient in tactics. There is really no one who is easy to deal with. Start with Zhang Meng."
Li Yuanfang nodded, "My lord, do you mean that we should subdue Zhang Meng first?"
"Well, let's set off as soon as possible. You know the situation in Tengzhou, so come with me this time."
Zhou Hao made quick calculations in his mind.
In the current situation, Zhang Meng has been in Tengzhou for several days and has not been able to win. It must be those elite soldiers who are difficult to deal with. If he does it rashly, he may not be successful, and it may bring losses to himself, so he thought about it. Zhang Meng started, twisting the two forces into a rope will always have a better chance of winning.
After making up his mind, Zhou Hao hurriedly started to line up his troops. Zhang Meng didn't have many soldiers, and he didn't want to subdue Zhang Meng by force, so he decided to bring only [-] God-killing soldiers.
Now that he had made up his mind, Zhou Hao didn't delay too much. After all, the current situation is changing rapidly, and if he was a step late, he might be caught by others.
Two days later, Zhou Hao led [-] god-killing soldiers to Tengzhou. He was rushing along the way, basically without much rest.
Soon, the group of them arrived in Tengzhou. In order not to startle the enemy, Zhou Hao chose to station far away from the city. Of course, he couldn't act rashly when he first arrived here.
"Yuan Fang, go to Tengzhou to see what's going on now. If the situation permits, we'll start with Zhang Meng first."
Zhou Hao said calmly.
"Yes."
Li Yuanfang was also unambiguous. Although he had just arrived in Tengzhou after a long journey, he continued to inquire about the enemy's situation non-stop.
Li Yuanfang soon came to the gate of Tengzhou, but was surprised to find that there was already a fight here. He hid in a corner and carefully observed the current situation.
I saw that the soldiers in Tengzhou were indeed very strong, facing the enemy's attack without any fear or hesitation, and the city gate showed no sign of falling.
Li Yuanfang thought to himself, this elite soldier from Tengzhou is really good, it seems that Zhang Meng is not very good at it, but when he took a closer look, he found something was wrong.
The soldiers in Zhang Meng's hands are all rebels, and they will not be as well-trained as these enemy troops. Are these enemy rebels?
Thinking of this, Li Yuanfang's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked further away, he saw Cao Cao's military flag flying in the air.
He didn't expect that Cao Cao was one step ahead of them and had already begun to capture Tengzhou.
Knowing these facts, Li Yuanfang naturally turned around and returned to the place where Zhou Hao was stationed.
Li Yuanfang hurried back to the station.
Zhou Hao still looked calm and relaxed, "Look at you like this, why panic, the sky is falling?"
"My lord, it's not good. I saw Cao Cao's army at the city gate just now, and they have already begun to capture Tengzhou!"
Li Yuanfang said in a panic?
"Hmm..." Knowing the news, Zhou Hao was also thinking silently in his heart. In fact, he hadn't thought of this situation. After all, Cao Cao had just occupied Youzhou, and Tengzhou was next to Youzhou, so it would naturally be Cao Cao. The next target of attack.
But Zhou Hao didn't expect Cao Cao to be so impatient. Logically speaking, if the next few cities are captured in a row, the first thing to do is to send people to garrison the cities. Moreover, he has just experienced war and the army suffered casualties. Take a good rest for a period of time to consolidate your military strength, but you didn't expect Cao Cao to completely ignore it and just attack the city all the way.
"Okay, I see. If this is the case, then there will be some fun later. I want to see how powerful this Cao Cao is."
Chapter 299 Cao Cao Escapes
The battle in Tengzhou is imminent, and it is really fierce.
There is the sound of weapons colliding everywhere, or the sound of horseshoes, which can be said to be very noisy.
From time to time, there are soldiers screaming, yes, they are soldiers who died.
But this also means that Zhang Meng is in a hard fight.
