    Sanfeng Mountain is located at the junction of Yuzhou and Huainan. It stretches for more than a hundred miles from east to west. Its main body is composed of three connected peaks, hence its name. The mountain is steep and full of strange rocks. There are mountain roads in the middle that lead from north to south, which is the link between the two states.  The natural dividing line is also a battleground for military strategists!

    "No matter what, Sanfeng Mountain must be occupied!"

    Yuan Shu came from a noble family, visited famous teachers since he was a child, and read a lot of military books and strategies. Although he was not an excellent commander, he still knew the important role of "geographical advantages" in war, so he issued a military order to seize Sanfeng Mountain.

    Occupying a favorable geographical location is equivalent to taking the initiative in the war. When the time comes, you can advance and attack, retreat and defend, with great flexibility!

    The Huainan Group originally planned to mobilize 250,000 troops and 100,000 civilians in ten days. This time was already very rushed, but when he learned that Cao Jun was advancing at a speed of eighty miles per day, Yuan Shu could no longer sit down.  Unable to hold on any longer, on the fourth day of preparation, the order to go out was forcibly issued before all the troops had arrived!

    "Woo! Woo! Woo!"

    General Ji Ling commanded 30,000 troops as the vanguard and headed straight for Sanfeng Mountain without stopping. He must occupy the favorable terrain before Cao's army arrived, build forts, and prepare for the decisive battle. Then Yuan Shu led his imperial army.  Let¡¯s move forward as the second echelon!

    Although he set off in a hurry, Yuan Shu's pomp was not small at all. He brought out a full set of imperial support. The dragon and phoenix sun and moon flags opened the way in front, and the four flags and five square flags behind him protected him. The warriors on both sides were guarding him, holding golden melons, silver axes, yellow yue and white flags.  Wow, under a huge yellow umbrella, Yuan Shu wears a golden helmet and a red cloak. He sits on a horse and holds a sword in his hand. He is so majestic!

    "Your Majesty, all the people and horses have not yet arrived, and the civilians, food, grass, and supplies have not been properly prepared. Sending troops in such a hasty manner may be detrimental to the war!" Li Feng, the leader of the four ministers in Huainan, ran over with dark circles under his eyes.  In order to prepare the logistics these days, he stayed up day and night, and even there was a big hole in his boots.

    "If I don't send troops, Cao Mengde will kill Shouchun City!" Because he was worried about the war, Yuan Shu's eyes were a little red, "How are the food and grass preparations? Do the civilians have enough?"

    "Reporting to Your Majesty, we need to mobilize grain, grass, and civilians from various counties. The journey is far away. Less than 30% of what we have arrived now is less than 30%. We have tried our best to mobilize them, but it will take at least eight to ten days to fully prepare!"

    Li Feng lamented in his heart that Huainan was originally a land blessed by the world, with sufficient money and food, and a large population. However, since Yuan Shu came to power, he has built palaces and gardens wantonly, abused the people's power, and caused countless deaths. There are even more excessive levies and miscellaneous taxes. Now the local  The people's livelihood is already exhausted, and it is no longer as spectacular as it used to be!

    "The lonely city of Shouchun is the richest in the world, with a population of hundreds of thousands. How can it not scrape together some military rations and tens of thousands of young men?"

    "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

    "The imperial edict requires all Shouchun people to hand over the food stored at home. In addition, if there are two men in the family, one of them will serve in the army. The recruitment must be completed within two days. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

    Yuan Shu pulled out the Emperor's Sword from his waist and held it directly in front of Li Feng, "Within two days, either military rations or human heads will come. Do you understand?"

    "I, obey the order!" Holding the Emperor's Sword, Li Feng almost burst into tears. This forced him to become a bandit and rob the people in Shouchun City, but it was impossible not to do it. Yuan Shu made it clear, either  To bear the eternal name of being scolded, or sacrifice one's own head. Choose one of the two, being scolded is naturally better than losing one's head!

    Countless armored soldiers armed with sharp knives rushed into the homes of ordinary people, rummaged through and looted them. The edict clearly stated that one of every two men would be drawn, which meant that as long as there were two men in the family, one of them would have to be taken away. As for the stored grain, as long as it was edible,  Yes, not a single grain is left!

    "What, this is your family's rations. The soldiers don't care about it. They rob and starve a few people to death. Shouchun City still belongs to the Yuan family. If the soldiers starve to death, the title of Shouchun will have to change hands!"

    What, you have only one man in your family?

    Nonsense, doesn¡¯t the three-month-old little guy in your arms wear a handle?  Since it is the one with the handle, it is the man. Your Majesty has ordered that if two men are beaten, your husband will have to follow us and go to the front line to help. If you have nothing to do, just block the arrows!  "

    In this way, groups of young men were forcibly dragged out of their homes, tied up with ropes, and forcibly escorted to serve in the army, leaving behind only a crying Shouchun city full of old, weak, women and children!

    There is no hell on earth better than this!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Haha! Sanfeng Mountain!"Cao Cao and a group of counselors and generals have also set their sights on this place. It is a must-win place for military strategists. Who can't see it!

    "Prime Minister, our army has entered the territory of Yuzhou. As long as we march day and night without stopping, we have every chance to occupy this strategic location before Yuan Shu!"  , he said that if he could take the lead, he would definitely be inseparable.

    "Don't worry, it's just a mountain peak, so why not give it to him!" After looking at the map for a long time, Cao Cao smiled slightly, "Give me the order, and the whole army will set up camp. It won't be too late to get on the road after resting."

    "Prime Minister, the military situation is extremely urgent. Yuan Shu's army is marching day and night to seize Sanfeng Mountain. Why are we moving slower and slower?"

    Xiahou Dun was not the only one who was confused. Most of the other generals were also puzzled. Since the army set out on the expedition, it can be said that it has been moving at lightning speed, advancing more than 80 miles every day, intimidating the enemy. However, since entering Yuzhou, the marching speed has dropped again and again.  , get up late and rest early every day, and set up camp within thirty miles. With less walking, the soldiers have more food. They eat four meals a day, and every meal is rich in meat. The brothers' faces are red and full of energy.  No place to vent!

    "Haha, Yuan Shu is an incompetent man. He wrote all the military strategies in the marching formation, but he didn't know how to apply them flexibly. He really wasted those hundreds of thousands of Huainan elite soldiers!"

    Cao Cao first looked at Guo Jia and Xiao Yi beside him. The three of them looked at each other with sparkling eyes. Then he pointed at Sanfeng Mountain on the map and continued, "When a large army is fighting, the right location is important, but don't you know that the right time is not as good as the right place?  The geographical advantage is not as good as the harmony. In the final analysis, wars are fought by people, and soldiers are the most important. The Huainan Army traveled day and night to occupy the geographical advantage. After arriving, they would be exhausted and no longer capable of fighting. As for our soldiers, they marched day and night.  In just thirty miles, if you add wine and meat to every meal to recharge your energy, then you will be a group of fierce tigers descending from the mountain, let's see how Yuan Shu's weak soldiers can resist them!"

    "The prime minister has a divine fortune teller, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable!" All the generals bowed and praised, it is indeed true, we have eaten well and slept well, and we are going to beat those guys who have traveled day and night and been hungry for several days, how can we beat them, how can we beat them?  win!

    "This is near Qiao County. The army will stop for a day tomorrow. I just want to go back to visit my parents and clean the cemetery for my ancestors to fulfill my responsibilities as a son of man!" Cao Cao's hometown is in Qiao County, Pei County, which is far away from here.  It's only a few dozen miles away. When a wanderer returns home, he naturally wants to go back and have a look. This is human nature.

    "No!"

    Since you need to recharge your batteries, it¡¯s a good idea to take a day off!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­

    Cao Cao returned home in a very low-key manner. There were no ceremonial guards, no flags and drums, and he didn't even wear armor. He was just in casual clothes. He brought his three sons with him. The captain of the guard Xu Chu led dozens of personal guards to protect him, plus Guo Jia and Xiao Yi.  Just two people.

    His hometown is a very ordinary village in Qiao County. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is neither big nor small. There are probably hundreds of households, thousands of acres of land, and a large mulberry forest. The people are simple and honest.  Living a self-sufficient life, even his name is very common, just called Caojiating!

    The Cao Pi brothers naturally became the guides. They had lived here since they were young and were very familiar with each other. They would greet passers-by from time to time. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were immediately surrounded by a group of urchins, who kept saying "chirp".  The brother took out the dried meat and pastries that he had prepared and distributed them to the friends. He also gave up his horse so that everyone could take turns to try riding it. It was a great time!

    It can be seen that these guys used to play the role of "king of children" at home!

    "Let's go in too!" The war horses and the soldiers were left outside the village. Cao Cao only took Xiao Yi, Guo Jia, and the guards Xu Chu and walked inside.  No matter how high an official you become, how much wealth you make, you will be an ordinary villager after you return to your hometown. You must not be arrogant or arrogant!

    When I left home as a young man, I was already middle-aged when I came back. It¡¯s hard to describe how many emotions I felt!

    Every time they saw a stone tablet, a well, or a forest, a few people would stop and point them out one by one. That was his childhood paradise, where he practiced martial arts and studied as a teenager, and where he determined to travel around the world when he was young.  The starting point of

    It can be seen that Cao Cao has indeed been away from home for a long time. He met many pedestrians along the way, but none of them knew him. Occasionally, there were a few who hesitated. After seeing their clothes, temperament, and the sword on their waist, they also  I didn¡¯t dare to come over!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????: A Prime Minister is still a Prime Minister without wearing court robes, and a General without armor is still a General.

    "I have been away from home for more than 20 years, and I probably don't know many of my playmates and friends anymore!" He didn't meet any acquaintances, and Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little sad. Twenty years is enough to replace a new generation in the world. Besides,  Although he was born here, he went to live in Luoyang with his father when he was a teenager. Naturally, there are only a few people who can remember him!
