Cao's army crossed the river in a large scale, and the east of the river naturally was shocked.

Pingyang has also been affected, especially since the attack on the Shangdang of Huguan before, the people in Pingyang have more or less worried. Now they hear that Cao's army is advancing and crossing the river, and they can't help but feel panic. But after Fei Qian took the guards around, the panic of the people of Pingyang disappeared for some reason.

So did Fei Qian really know the emotional changes of these people and do this? Or did he say...

Xu Chu lowered his head, not daring to show too much expression.

As Fei Qian's status and power are becoming more and more powerful, he has become the only two real power figure among the Han Dynasty. Naturally, Xu Chu can no longer laugh in front of Fei Qian like he used to be, but must always show respect for Fei Qian.

Because this is not only respect for Fei Qian alone, but also respect for the entire Fei Qian political group.

After all, Xu Chu is also a member of this political group.

Cao Cao led his army to attack, which seemed to be Fei Qian's crisis on the surface, but in fact?

Will it just need to sneak around like the worry and panic of the people of Pingyang?

Xu Chu's guess is not wrong. Fei's sneaking around is indeed not just to stabilize the emotions of the people in Pingyang, but also has more important significance.

Ordinary people need a strong leader.

The gentry and gentry, emerging meritorious class, and other small political groups also need a leader who is brave enough to face difficulties and dangers.

Therefore, the political significance of Fei is greater than that of military.

Since the development of Feiqian political group, the people in the system have been firmly tied together, with common interests and mutual conflicts. With the expansion of the scope of interests and strength, the desire for expansion under Feiqian's rule has become stronger, especially in the expansion of population, land and commercial activities, and naturally there are more and more conflicts with the original Han court.

The conflict between the new system and the old ideas.

The contradiction between the upstarts of military merit and the hereditary gentry.

Students from poor families and traditional celebrities despise each other.

The old bureaucratic talent system and the newly established talent selection mechanism are irreconcilable.

There are also issues between the traditional agricultural small-scale agricultural economic system and the social division of labor system that boosts production development.

These various problems in the Feiqian territory are also huge gaps between the Sanfu in Guanzhong and the Shandong area.

Especially in terms of commercial development, because the interests of commercial far exceed the profits of agricultural planting, many gentry members who adapted to the new policies in Guanzhong began to take the path of commercial expansion, such as the Sima family. The Sima family contracted a gold mine, and now it has entered the period of mining and income, which makes the Sima family unswervingly stand on Feiqian's side and is not afraid of sacrifice...

People from Shandong, including Cao Cao, have already noticed the problem of commercial erosion, and they have also begun to use the power of the government to restrict the commercial goods in Guanzhong. Fei Qiang's influence in Shandong is not very large, so they are forced to give benefits to these Shandong gentry gentry, but the issue of division of interests will make the conflict unavoidable ultimately.

Therefore, the battle with Cao Cao was also inevitable. Even if Fei Qian did not have further ambitions, he would be pushed to that position by the chariot in the end. Therefore, Fei Qian would not deliberately restrict such ideas in daily life, and would not promote them, mainly to avoid causing excessive radical actions and affecting his overall strategy.

So Fei Qian felt that Cao Cao was now marching against the wind and snow, in addition to his military intentions, did he also have some political plans...

Fei Qian was thinking when suddenly a soldier came and came to the watchtower to report the news, "Reported to the cavalry, the vanguard of Cao's army, 5,000 vanguards, leaving the mountain road and heading towards Zhangyangchi!"

Fei Qian nodded, "As expected, well... let me think about it... I have someone give the head of Cao's son to Sima Zhongda... I think he should know how to use it."

...

...

Zhangyangchi is a swamp that is not big or small.

It is said that the King of Shishi developed a new earth-shaking weapon here, laying a solid foundation for Yan Huang's big axe against Chi You in one fell swoop, so this place became the fief of the ancient Zhang family.

Zhang Yang may change because of the gloriousness, or come from the sun of Zhang Cheng.

Now that the swearing master is no longer there, only Chize is sad.

Zhang Yangchi was approaching, and Sima Yi calmly entered the formation.

This time around Sima Yi, he was no longer a soldier in Hedong County, but a real cavalryman.

These cavalrymen did not line up in the cold wind, but surrounded the bonfire in the shelter, pulling curtains and grilling the fire. It looked like there was no organization and discipline, but Sima Yi knew that if he gave his order, he would form a steel division in an instant.

Some others built military camps near Zhangyangchi.

After passing Zhangyangchi, it is Puban County. Not far west of Puban County is Pubanjin.

Although the river surface of Kusakatsu has already appeared on the river surface at this moment, it is not thick enough. If you want a large army to pass through, it will take at least a few days for such cold weather, but you can't wait too long, because it is the first month of the year.

Although the weather is abnormal now, after all, it has entered spring. No one knows when the wind and snow will disappear, and then spring will return to the earth, and the ice will melt. At that time, no matter Pubanjin or even Longmendu, you can't walk on the ice. Instead, you have to wait until the ice has completely stopped and melted before you can sail.

Cao Cao may not not know about these things.

But what did Cao Cao really think? Is it really as fierce and anxious as he showed?

This is a very interesting question.

Normally, if you want to march into Guanzhong, you can only take Pubanjin or occupy Longmendu.

But would Cao Jun be so honest?

When I said I would beat Zhang Yangchi, I only came to Zhang Yangchi. If I wanted to enter Guanzhong, I would grab Pubanjin?

But there will be many more moves.

Just like Go, everyone knows that it is just black and white, grabbing the edge and corners to occupy the center, but when it is really playing chess, it is ever-changing...

Sima Yi wrapped his cloak tighter, and then his eyes suddenly fell on Zhang Yangchi in the distance.
