When the news of Huang Zhong's defeat reached Jizhou, Pan Feng wasn't surprised.
Huang Zhong's Black Tiger Army had just been established, and Cao Mengde had many capable men under him. Huang Zhong was weak, so it was normal that he couldn't defeat them.
Pan Feng refuted Huang Zhong's letter of apology and encouraged him.
Filled with anger, Huang Zhong used all kinds of tactics to attack and defend the city of Hanoi with Cao Cao's Hanoi army.
Cao Cao was worried that he would be shot by Huang Zhong from a distance, so he never appeared on the city wall and did not fight with Huang Zhong.
Every day, it was like going to work. When it was time, they would send people out of the city to call.
After the battle, he came back to rest.
With the same thoughts as Pan Feng, Cao Cao was also training his soldiers!
The two sides fought for hegemony in Hanoi, and there were wins and losses, but overall, they were in a stalemate.
Pan Feng was stationed in Jizhou and was actively preparing to attack the northern provinces at any time to unify the north.
On this day, Pan Feng was observing and researching in front of the sand table. On this day, Pan Feng was observing in front of the sand table and studying where the coastal areas were suitable for the construction of ports. After the unification of the north, the navy would also be put on the agenda.
Suddenly!
"Report!"
A scout rushed in from outside the tent.
Pan Feng looked up.
The scout's face was weathered, and his clothes were covered in grass. As soon as he entered the tent, he immediately knelt down.
"Reporting to my lord, spies from Jingzhou and Hanoi have sent urgent military intelligence.”
"A subordinate of Liu Biao from Jing Prefecture killed Cao Cao's father Cao Song who was passing by Jing Prefecture ten days ago.”
Pan Feng was stunned, her mouth agape.
Damn, this news is explosive! Old Cao's father was killed by Liu Biao?
In the original novel, Cao Cao's father was killed by Tao Qian's subordinates.
The scout didn't care about Pan Feng's surprise and continued.
"Cao Cao has gathered his troops and attacked Jingzhou!”
"When the scouts at the front line sent out the news, Cao Cao was on his way!”
"At the same time, Cao Cao coughed up blood and wrote a blood letter to announce to the world.”
"My lord!"
As the scout spoke, he took out a piece of cloth and handed it to Pan Feng.
"This is the contents of the blood letter.”
Pan Feng took a look and chuckled. Cao Cao, Cao Cao, as expected of an ambitious man.
Every word in this blood letter was full of blood, and it vividly described Old Cao's grief of losing his loved ones.
Anyone who saw it would feel that Liu Biao was not a good person, a beast in human clothing. They supported Cao Cao's crusade from the bottom of their hearts.
Was Cao Song really killed by Liu Biao?
Heh, what if it was?
Pan Feng put away the cloth.
"Tell the two military strategists to come here. You can go to the Hero Palace to receive your reward.”
The Hero Palace was an organization that Pan Feng had recently established. It was responsible for measuring the contributions of all her subordinates.
Pan Feng was the Hall Master of the Hero Palace, and Xu You and Tian Feng were in charge of it. There were ten councilmen under them.
They came from the ten basic institutions of scholars, agriculture, industry, commerce, technology, science, law, politics, fishing, and animal husbandry.
The Hero Palace would record the achievements or contributions of the subordinates in Jizhou into Hero Points.
Hero points could be exchanged for food, clothing, daily necessities, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, money, and even official positions and land.
All resources will be provided by the Jizhou Prefecture Treasury.
The topic had strayed off.
The matter of building a port was temporarily put aside. Pan Feng thought about the death of Cao Song and the fact that Cao Cao had gathered an army to attack Jingzhou.
Revenge and seizing territory were perfectly justified.
It was a good move.
"My lord."
"My lord."
The two soldiers were confused.
They had been busy perfecting the system and the measurement standards in the Hero Palace, and their lord knew about it. Did something big happen?
The Hero Palace had just been built, and there were still many flaws. Tian Feng and Xu You had been staying there all this time.
Pan Feng handed the blood letter to Tian Feng.
Tian Feng took it in his hand in confusion and opened it to look at it with Xu You.
"Congratulations, my lord!" The two of them smiled after reading it.
These two fellows didn't have any sympathy at all. Old Cao's father had just died. Was it really good to congratulate him?
"Oh, where does the joy come from?" Pan Feng's expression remained unchanged.
Xu You and Tian Feng exchanged glances.
"With my lord's strategy, you really don't know?”
Pan Feng pondered for a moment and said,
"No matter what Cao Cao is thinking, he will definitely be empty in Hanoi, Chenliu, and other places!”
"Even if the army is left behind, the military strength is far from what it was before.”
"This is the best time for our army to take down the first stronghold in the south, Hanoi!”
Pan Feng said happily, but Xu You and Tian Feng gradually stopped smiling.
Pan Feng thought that she had thought it through, but looking at the expressions of the two strategists, it was obvious that she was being despised.
Alright, I'll just ask honestly.
"Uh, what do you two military strategists have to say?”
The two of them said that they didn't dare and pointed at the location of Hanoi on the sand table beside them.
"My lord, Ziyuan and I don't recommend attacking Cao Cao's territory.”
"From the looks of it, attacking Cao Cao's territory doesn't have any substantial effect.”
"We don't have that many soldiers to protect them, so we won't be able to increase the strength of Jizhou.”
"Other than becoming enemies with Cao Cao, there are no other benefits.”
"It will also give the other dukes the impression that Jizhou is treacherous and greedy.”
Pan Feng nodded and pondered. Indeed.
If word got out, everyone would follow suit in the future. As long as they fought, everyone would come to the backyard to fight for territory.
Then who could bear it?
"Then, in your opinion, what should we do?”
"My lord, Jizhou can send troops to Jingzhou.”
Pan Feng was puzzled." Send troops to Jingzhou?"
"Yes, send troops to Jingzhou to help Liu Biao!”
Tian Feng continued.
"There are three reasons. First, since Cao Cao dared to attack Jingzhou, he must have made arrangements for Chenliu, Hanoi, and other places.”
"Secondly, since Cao Cao dared to attack Jing Province, he must have the confidence to take down Jing Province. If we help Liu Biao, it will be a variable and destroy Cao Cao's growth.”
"Thirdly, helping Liu Biao fight Cao Cao and depleting the soldiers of both sides is in the interest of Jizhou.”
"Fourthly, help Liu Biao fight Cao Cao, gain justice, befriend Dong Zhuo, and be loyal to His Majesty.”
Hearing this, Pan Feng understood.
He understood very well!
"The two military strategists are really talented. In this way, no matter who wins, Liu Biao or Cao Cao, we won't lose anything.”
" We can also replenish our troops and collect pennies. There are many benefits…"
However, what was the reason for sending troops?
Xu You said casually.
"Jingzhou Liu Biao is a royal of the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao offended his superior. If he beat the Imperial Uncle today, would he dare to beat the Emperor tomorrow? This was a rebellion! Your crimes are not to be punished."
"The Jizhou Prefecture sent reinforcements to the Jingzhou Prefecture to eliminate the traitors and punish the rebels. What a good deed!"
The three of them discussed and decided to leave Tian Feng, Zhang He, and Zhao Yun to guard Jizhou.
Pan Feng took Ju Shou, Xu You, and Huang Zhong, who had been fighting in Hanoi for a long time, and took a small path to Jingzhou.
