In the early morning, there was heavy fog again.

The white mist enveloped the inside and outside of Yuyang City, making the roads and walls appear to be shady.

On the field, you can’t see clearly three or two feet away. You can only see some outlines, and you can’t see them even if you go out.

Cao Chun sat on the top of the city, wearing armor and holding a knife, staring at him, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not see through the fog.

This fog seemed to temporarily quell the solemnity from the north, causing the tense atmosphere near Yuyang to be surrounded by the city walls around.

The soldiers patrolling the city were hiking in and out of the fog in groups, like loaches, unable to see the sky, only three or two feet of ground under their feet.

In the city courtyards separated by the walls in the city, the sound of chickens and dogs barking is rarely heard these days. It is more about silence, sighs, and the interlaced appearance, and the deep eyes. The sound of whispering is drowned in the rolling fog.

The Hu people went south and robbed Youzhou.

The Hu people did not attack Yuyang City, but just robbed around Yuyang.

This made Cao Chun very embarrassed and embarrassed.

It seems that it is inappropriate to leave the city.

Cao Chun opened his eyes wide and tried to find the battle flag of the cavalry in the fog, but except for the whiteness in front of him, only three or five feet under his feet were left, just like nature temporarily blocking Yuyang and isolating Cao Chun's senses.

Scout...

Why haven't the scout come back yet?!

Cao Chun gritted his teeth and said, "Send another group of scouts out of the city! Be sure to check the movements of Changshan's soldiers and horses!"

The scout rushed out of the city quickly, and then it seemed to be melted into the fog and soon lost its trace.

There was no news from Changshan Army, but news from other places came one after another.

『Report! Xiaopingzhuang was attacked!』

『General! Anping County seeks help!』

"Lijiazhai was destroyed..."

『…』

Cao Chun slapped the battlement, "Where is the Changshan Army?!"

The scouts who came back looked at each other in all directions.

『Get out!』 Cao Chun roared, 『Investigate again and again!』

Scouts disperse birds and beasts.

Cao Chun is now extremely complicated. He is looking forward to Zhao Yun's appearance, but he is also afraid that Zhao Yun will appear.

The current chaotic situation in Youzhou further made it difficult for Cao Chun to make a decision.

Attack, it's inappropriate.

It is also inappropriate to not attack.

On the one hand, we must preserve our strength in order to fight against the threat from the Changshan Army. On the other hand, we must also preserve Youzhou and not let Youzhou be completely destroyed by the Hu people. Both sides want it, but neither side can get it. And even if we really take care of the whole, we may not be able to really protect it.

what to do?

This dilemma and torture state made Cao Chun almost feel frustrated and vomited blood.

From early morning to sunset, heavy fog remains and the situation remains chaotic.

Cao Chun was on the city wall, waiting and thinking hard.

In just one day, Cao Chun seemed to be ten years old, and his mouth was full of blood blisters.

However, the situation did not stagnate because of Cao Chun's hesitation and waiting, but developed rapidly. Soon, Cao Chun felt that Youzhou was like a porridge that had forgotten to turn off the fire, and he didn't even know where the lid was sprayed.

Whether to solve it now or to solve it in the future is a very common but difficult problem.

After thinking about it, Cao Chun hesitated again and again. On the one hand, he felt that Zhao Yun did not appear. He left Yuyang to fight the Hu people. Yuyang was not safe. On the other hand, during the hesitation process, time was also passing and the situation was changing...

In the end, it became corrupt and made Cao Chun not know how to clean up when he wanted to do something.

There were asking for help everywhere, and there were Hu people everywhere.

Cao Chun's clones are not skilled.

Cao Chun originally thought that the military and horse association in northern Jizhou would come to support him, but he was wrong...

The soldiers in northern Jizhou adhered to the principle of staying still if they could, and worked diligently and strictly guarded the checkpoints in various places. Even the refugees in Youzhou refused to stay away. The reason was very simple, "Get out of the country!"

Perhaps for the people of Yuzhou, Jizhou, this matter is like a fart, with some smell and some sound, but the farts are gone without a trace. They should eat, drink, sleep, listen to songs, dance, argue about trivial matters, and play with national affairs. Because it is not Jizhou that robbed.

But in the Youzhou people's feeling, the current situation is like layered fog pressing on their heads, covering their eyes, leaving them nowhere to go, and even breathing is difficult...

The people of Youzhou are from Youzhou, and the people of Jizhou are from Jizhou.

It is difficult for people from Youzhou to be a person from Jizhou, isn’t it difficult for people from Jizhou to be?

There are orders above, so when the minor officials execute, they will naturally be justified or taken for granted.

Anyway, this matter cannot be solved at the moment, nor can it be handled by the people of Jizhou...

Isn't it?

Yes, shouldn’t this world’s affairs be done by the people of the world?

Yes, shouldn’t we believe that future generations can accomplish things that our predecessors have not completed?

Tomorrow and tomorrow.

There are descendants.

However, this descendant does not seem to be unlimited supply...

...

...

When Zhang He rushed to Juyong and launched a surprise attack, defeating Juyong City, Suli and other nomadic Hu cavalry swept across the northern part of Youzhou like locusts.

Originally, the temperature should have risen in the first month, but the north is still cold and the cold is gathering, so heavy fog is generated in the north and south of Yanshan Mountain, and this heavy fog just happened to cover the Hu cavalry.

After Cao Chun fled to Yuyang, he did not dare to act rashly when the situation was unclear.

The only few counterattacks were only intercepted and killed some Hu cavalry who were too close to Yuyang, and they did not dare to leave Yuyang too far. This led to the Hu cavalry who had a tacit understanding and bypassed Yuyang's city and began to rob other places.

Anyway, Youzhou is so big, since Yuyang is difficult to chew, then don’t chew it...

Cao Chun made the first cavalry defense mistake here.

Cao Chun was the most suitable general to command cavalry from his tribe, but Cao Chun was still unable to get rid of the old habits in Shandong. He subconsciously relied on the city as a stable rear, which was nothing wrong, but this also caused Cao Chun to lose the maneuverability of the cavalry.

This situation actually happened to many generals of the Xiahou clan of Cao...

On the one hand, the generals of the Xiahou clan of the Cao family were threatened by Fei Qian and began to consciously or unconsciously learn and absorb the new tactics and new ideas brought by Fei Qian. However, on the other hand, some of their thoughts and habits are still in the Shandong model, and this contradiction state has long existed at the same time, until one day they discover themselves or are discovered, they can only improve.

Cao Chun's second mistake was that the defense line he built in Youbei was not as strong as he thought.

Zhao Yun was stationed in Gubeikou and did not go deep into Youzhou area.

Cao Chun hoped that Zhao Yun could enter Youzhou so that his pocket could be tied up.

This involves Cao Chun not daring to leave Yuyang easily, nor dare to divide his troops to stop the chaos of Hu cavalry.

The tribes such as Suli, Mohuba, Poshihe, Wuluhui and others came forward separately, keeping a distance from each other. There were also the tacit understanding that some nomadic peoples had when hunting, making them whistling, making them even small and medium-sized counties such as Wangzhuang, Lizhai, Anping County, etc. in Yuyang, Youbei, and dare not even move. They just sent Cao Chun in Yuyang a messenger who was in a powerful and urgently sought help.

If these areas can firmly resist the invasion of nomadic peoples, then the lack of effective attack methods and a narrow window of time will not actually cause too much harm to these counties and townships. Sometimes, if a county and township drag down these nomadic tribes, the counties and townships behind them will naturally be preserved.

But the problem is...

Everyone understands the truth.

It’s like seeing a capitalist bullying an employee, is there a lot of capitalists or a lot of workers?

But most of the time, ordinary workers stand and watch.

Just looking at it.

There may be some workers who will come forward to speak to capitalists, saying that it is not easy for the boss to be a boss. It is under great pressure and there is no job opportunity for the boss to come from. Everyone should be more considerate.

This is the case with counties and townships in Yuyang, Youbei.

It is a bit too much to say that they surrender without fighting, because most of these counties and towns are tightly locked in the city gates and did not open the door to surrender. However, they turned a blind eye to the experiences of other people outside the city and villages.

At the same time, they will severely scold those minority members who want to open the door to save the people outside. Of course, they are talking about the safety of most of the counties, towns and cities, but in fact they think that if these people outside are not feeding the Hu people, wouldn’t the next unlucky person be the one who is unlucky?

As a result, when Cao Chun was restrained by Zhao Yun in Yuyang, the counties and townships around Yuyang also entered a very strange state. There were some soldiers in the urban and rural areas, but no one moved.

No county and township moved!

Everyone, look at me, I look at him, and he looks at you again. The Youbei defense line that Cao Chun is proud of is like a false idea.

In addition, the military academy generals, lieutenants, etc., like to eat and drink some soldiers. Cao Chun had previously drawn the better soldiers away, and the remaining subordinates were very ordinary. In addition, they were owed military salaries on weekdays, and some even delayed military salaries from the seventh year of Taixing to the nineth year of Taixing. The soldiers in counties and counties were like beggars, and they had to beg for being so proud that they would give them a little. They could not help but scold these soldiers for being unconscience and not wanting to defend their country, but only wanting to ask for money.

Compared with the big man, which one is more important?
