Three Kingdoms: I have a job transfer palace

Cao Cao felt extremely helpless when his capital was destroyed.

Originally, because the war on the front line was unfavorable, in order to boost morale, he took charge of the expedition himself.

And because the Dragon State dispatched millions of troops and the Wei State did not have enough troops, he took most of the defenders of the capital with him and rushed to the front line.

Everything he did was because he saw that the people in the capital were frowning all day long because of the unfavorable war, and he did it in order to win.

However, he did not expect that it was precisely because of his move that the troops in Jianye City were empty, which gave the Long Kingdom an opportunity to besiege Jianye while he was away.

In order to rescue Jianye and protect the capital, Cao Cao ignored the high morale of the army at the front and resolutely led his troops back to aid Jianye. As a result, the morale of the soldiers at the front fell to the bottom again.

Not only that, Cao Cao retreated with his army and gave Liu Feng the opportunity to follow up and attack.

The Dragon Army attacked the rear of the Wei Army, not only chasing down many of the Wei infantry following Cao Cao, but also captured the entire territory of Xuzhou and the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang in Yangzhou.

Even if Cao Cao arrived in Jianye at this time and drove away the attacking Jinfan Army, his personal expedition would have been a huge failure.

However, the fact is that before Cao Cao's army arrived in Jianye, Jianye had already been defeated by Jinfan's army.

It was obvious that Cao Cao had stolen the chicken but lost the rice, which really made him regretful.

But while feeling regretful, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh at how powerful the Jinfan Army's combat effectiveness was.

In fact, Cao Cao has been in control of Yangzhou for a long time. Although he has never met Gan Ning, he has long heard of Gan Ning and the Jinfan thieves.

He knew that Gan Ning and his thousands of brothers gathered on the Yangtze River to rob wealthy families and merchants who passed by, but in most cases they only sought wealth and not life.

Unless the person being robbed did something extremely egregious that angered Gan Ning or his brothers, the most they could do was to spend money to eliminate disaster.

The Jinfan thief has been traversing the Yangtze River for many years, but he is still able to survive in these troubled times. Neither Liu Biao, Sun Jian nor Cao Cao sent troops to surround him. This is because the Jinfan thief has his own principles for robbery.

First of all, the first point is that they only rob wealthy families and businessmen, and usually do not harm lives, and even if they rob wealth, not all of it is taken away.

If it is a wealthy family, the Jinfan thief will only steal most of the money, and after asking about the other party's itinerary, they will leave appropriate travel expenses for them, so that they will not have nowhere to go.

And if a merchant transports the goods, the principal will be left to the merchant, but the merchant will make a wasted trip and not lose everything.

If it is a poor person, not only will they not rob his property, they may even give him some money.

Another point is that the Jinfan thieves never robbed officers and soldiers. Whether it was Liu Biao's army before or Cao Cao's people now, they never took action.

It is precisely because of these rules of the Jinfan thieves, coupled with the vastness of the Yangtze River and their unpredictable whereabouts, that all the princes have always acquiesced in the Jinfan thieves' dominance on the Yangtze River.

Of course, when it comes to water warfare capabilities, the princes from all walks of life do need to waste a lot of troops if they want to eliminate the Jinfan thieves.

But what Cao Cao didn't expect was that he had long known that Jinfan was powerful in water combat, but he didn't expect that he was not bad in land combat.

Jianye City is the capital of the Wei State. Cao Cao renovates the city walls almost every year. Now the city is tall and not much easier to fight than the cities in Yecheng, Xuchang and other large cities in the Central Plains.

However, a group of navy troops actually broke through the city in just two days. This was something Cao Cao never expected.

In fact, what Cao Cao didn't know was that today's Jinfan Army was not just a navy army.

Gan Ning's original Three Thousand Jinfan Thief brothers were naturally invincible in water combat. Not only that, Gan Ning was a top-notch military general, but his infantry and horse fighting abilities were both at the level of a first-class general.

Under his training, his three thousand Jinfan Army naturally had strong land combat capabilities. The subsequent thirty thousand soldiers Liu Feng gave to Gan Ning were all selected from the ordinary soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom with good agility..

Therefore, the land combat effectiveness of these people is not weaker than that of ordinary soldiers.

In addition, after going through the job transfer hall, they have all reached the level of an elite division of the third rank. It is natural to attack Jianye, which is empty internally and has insufficient troops.

If Cao Cao had known that his capital would eventually be captured by Gan Ning and his Jinfan thieves, he would have eliminated Gan Ning before he defected to the Dragon Kingdom.

Jianye was captured, and while Cao Cao led his army to the east to set up the capital in Wu County, Liu Feng did not follow Cao Cao in hot pursuit, but continued to attack counties along the way.

After capturing Lujiang County, the Long Kingdom army marched towards Danyang County.

As the Wei capital was destroyed and Cao Cao moved the capital to Wu County, the morale of the entire Wei army was damaged and almost reached rock bottom. Not only did the entire army's combat effectiveness decline, but they also lost their will to fight.

Facing the powerful Dragon Kingdom army, the Danyang County defenders were even more difficult to resist.

So Liu Feng divided his troops again, separated the millions of troops, and continued to march towards Wu County with the main force of the Chinese army, while Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Tai Shici and Zhou Yu each led 50,000 troops to attack Danyang counties in five directions.

There are only 100,000 defenders in Danyang County, and there are 16 counties in Danyang County. Each county has less than 10,000 defenders. Facing the 50,000 Dragon Kingdom army, they are completely unable to defend.

In just half a month, the five armies of the Dragon Kingdom achieved a complete victory and completely annexed Danyang County. There was almost no resistance in the Danyang counties, and several counties even declared surrender when the Dragon Kingdom army arrived at the city.

After conquering Danyang County, the five-pronged army rushed to join Liu Feng's main force of the Chinese army.

At this time, Liu Feng had arrived outside Wu County.

Before entering Wu County, Liu Feng divided his troops again. He ordered a single army to attack Qiantang County south of Wu County in order to strangle the fortress leading from Wu County to Kuaiji County and prevent Cao Cao from escaping again.

At the same time, he himself led the army into Wu Commandery.

Hundreds of thousands of troops arrived at the gate of Wu County, but Liu Feng did not launch an attack immediately.

Because he knew that Cao Cao was in Wu County. Although the morale of the Wei army was low and there was almost no chance of victory, Liu Feng did not want to attack directly because of the so-called mourning army that must win.

Then he came up with a plan. He took Guo Jia to the gate of Wu County alone, ordered someone to bring the coffee table that he carried with the army, sat with Guo Jia, drank Longcheng wine leisurely, and invited Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai to go out of the city for a chat.

If Cao Cao did not agree, the morale of the Wei army would definitely fall to the bottom, so in order to stabilize morale, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai had no choice but to go out of the city to attend the appointment.

After Cao Cao and Xi Zhi sat down, Liu Feng personally poured Cao Cao a glass of wine and said,"We haven't seen you for many years. Brother Meng De, are you okay?"
