The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 213
As early as when Xu Huang detected the Taishan bandits, he immediately sent a flying horse to report to Lin Chao.

So when Guo Jia and others arrived outside Liangfu City, Lin Chao, who was about to set off, also received the news.

Lin Chao showed Jia Xu the scouting report, shook his head and smiled, "The Taishan bandits dare to attack the city at this time, they really don't know how to live or die."

Jia Xu glanced at the detective report, thought for a moment, and then came to a conclusion.

"Zichu, I'm afraid the Taishan bandits started besieging the Fenggao counties before the snow fell last year, but they couldn't fight for a long time, so it dragged on until now."

A few hundred miles away, Jia Xu made a rough guess based on just one report, and came to a conclusion similar to Guo Jia's.

Lin Chao smiled wryly and said, "I originally planned to take a trip to Taishan County, but I never expected that the Taishan bandits had already besieged all the counties in Fenggao. This trip is considered impossible. Wenhe, in your opinion, we Should the army wait for the weather to warm up before fighting, or should they send troops immediately?"

Fighting is definitely necessary, but whether to fight now or wait until later, still needs to be considered.

Hearing Lin Chao ask her opinion, Jia Xu's face became a little more serious, and she cupped her hands and said, "Zi Chu, I thought we should wait a little longer. The weather is very cold and the road is blocked by heavy snow. If we rashly send troops, the outcome is unpredictable. Furthermore , We send troops at this time, and there is no suitable excuse."

Now there are sufficient conditions, brave soldiers, and a stable rear. With Jia Xu's character, he naturally doesn't want to take risks.

"The name is a problem..."

Lin Chao smiled and said, "However, Wen He has never thought that this heavy snow not only blocked the roads of our army, but also the Taishan bandits. Besides, the Taishan bandits have been fighting fiercely for more than two months, and this is a good time to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. If they take down the counties of Fenggao, defend the city, and then try to wipe them out, I'm afraid it will take a little more effort."

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Zi Chu meant to send troops directly?"

Lin Chao shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter what you said, this matter has to be decided by Mr. Xuande himself. Wenhe, come with me."

Coincidentally, when Lin Chao was looking for Liu Bei, Feng Gao's envoy arrived.

Rather than talking about messengers, it might be better to say three or two beggars.

They were ragged and weather-beaten, and they tremblingly presented the letters they carried close to them with both hands, and Dian Wei handed them over to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei didn't believe the identities of these people at first, but after opening the letter, he saw that there was the seal and ribbon of Taishan County Prime Minister, so he nodded.When he read the contents of the letter, Liu Bei couldn't help being furious.

boom!
"Dare you thief!"

Liu Bei slapped the table vigorously, looked at Laishi, and asked, "How is Feng Gao's situation now, please tell me in detail."

Seeing that Liu Bei was so angry, the envoy had a gleam of hope in his heart, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Please send troops quickly to help Feng Gao, if it is too late, I may be in danger!"

Next, the envoy recounted Fenggao's current situation, and finally cried out: "Master, my county magistrate sent a hundred people to break out of the siege, and when we broke out, there were only two or three people left, and I hope you will show mercy. Hurry up and send troops to rescue my Jun Cheng!"

This is a loyal man!
Liu Bei's eyes were full of admiration, so he said: "It's hard work for a strong man to come from afar, and he will go down to rest and recuperate, so let's beat drums and gather generals to discuss the matter of raising troops!"

"Thank you envoy!"

The envoy clasped his fists to thank him, and together with the two accompanying people, he was helped out by Liu Bei's soldiers.

When Lin Chao stepped into the government office, he happened to see this guy, and was a little curious in his heart.

"Zi Chu came just in time, take a look!"

Seeing Lin Chao approaching, Liu Bei handed over the letter in his hand.

Lin Chao took it with both hands, seeing that it was Feng Gao's request for help, a smile appeared on his face immediately.

This is really just a little sleepy, someone sent a pillow!
An excuse to send troops, isn't this coming!
"Mount Tai's thieves have no law to rule, and are besieging prefectures and counties. Why is Zichu laughing?"

Liu Bei asked strangely beside him.

amount……

Lin Chao quickly suppressed his smile, slapped the table in grief and indignation, and said angrily: "These thieves are simply lawless! I am really angry! Xuande Gong, the meaning of the court, immediately send troops to punish and wipe out the culprits, Return Mount Tai to peace!"

The quick change in expression and the proficiency in acting made Jia Xu look sideways at him.

Lin Zichu was... really unfathomable.

"What Zichu said fits my heart!"

Seeing that Lin Chao was so excited, Liu Bei nodded immediately, and said to Dian Wei: "Jun Ming, go and gather everyone to discuss matters in front of the hall."

"only!"

Dian Wei clasped his fists and left in response.

After a long while, everyone had almost arrived, and saluted Liu Bei respectively.

"Everyone, please take a look."

Liu Bei spoke, and at the same time circulated Feng Gao's letter to everyone.

After everyone finished watching, Liu Bei asked, "Everyone, the Taishan bandits are so rebellious that they dared to openly besiege the county. Zhuge Juncheng sent someone to ask for help, and he sent troops to attack him to relieve Feng Gao's danger. What do you think? ?”

Liu Bei didn't ask whether to fight or not, but first clarified his position, and then asked everyone's opinions.

This is tantamount to reminding everyone that he wants to fight, and everyone can discuss how to fight.

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of all the civil and military personnel were different.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, the two new generals who defected, both had a hint of excitement on their faces.

Zhang Fei said that he was determined to fight, he had to fight, so he almost slapped the table and agreed.

Xun Chen and Cui Yan smiled, noncommittal.

Xun You was expressionless and cute.

Guan Yu stroked his beard slowly.

Only Tian Feng frowned, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the severe cold is still going on now, if you raise troops rashly, the soldiers, horses, food and grass will be difficult, why don't you wait a little longer."

"Yuan Hao's words are inappropriate."

Just as Liu Bei wanted to speak, Xun Chen stood up and retorted: "The prime minister of Zhuge County sent someone to ask for help. If our army doesn't send out a single soldier, how can it be justified. Besides, the lord is a pillar of the Han Dynasty, how can we just sit back and watch the thief as a man?" Fuzhou County?"

"This……"

In fact, Tian Feng also wanted to fight, but he was worried that the tactics and logistics would not be able to be used due to the weather.

But Xun Chen brought out the righteous name, Tian Feng was speechless and could only nod his head.

"Even if you want to fight, don't act too hastily. You need to wait until the food and grass are ready before you can enter the army."

Liu Bei nodded, and asked Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao's words are very true, but I don't know how much food and grass Xuzhou can mobilize now?"

As the chief steward of Xuzhou, Tian Feng immediately showed a confident smile when he heard Liu Bei asking about food and grass, and said: "My lord, you only need to give Feng ten days to transfer hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass, which is enough to supply an army of [-] for half a year." needed."

Hearing this, Liu Bei was overjoyed: "You can mobilize the food needed by an army of [-] in ten days, Yuan Hao is really a god!"

"This is a matter of abundance, and it should not be praised by the lord."

Tian Feng smiled modestly, but his face was pale.

However, Lin Chao shook his head and said, "Fenggao is in dire straits now. If our army sends troops ten days later and fights with the rebel army all the way, I'm afraid that when we reach Fenggao, the city will have been destroyed for a long time. Ten days is still too long. "

"Zichu, being able to mobilize food and grass in ten days is already a miracle." Liu Bei couldn't help defending Tian Feng, "The army can't go out without food and grass, right?"

As Liu Bei said, the materials needed to launch a war involving tens of thousands of people are astonishing.Tian Feng was able to dispatch the first batch of grain and grass within ten days. The efficiency is so high that it is already the top of this era.

Lin Chao opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Xuande, the meaning of the court is that our army should send an elite team first, regardless of the enemy troops along the way, and go straight to Fenggao. First, we must ensure that Fenggao will not be destroyed, and then the army will slowly catch up. , destroy the bandit army all the way."

"If so, wouldn't this elite army become a lone army? This plan is wrong."

Xun You, who had been silent all this time, spoke up and expressed his opposition to Lin Chao's suggestion.

However, Lin Chao shook his head and said, "A lone army is a lone army, as long as it can keep Feng Gao."

If Feng Gao was breached, the three Zhuge brothers would be in danger.

In order to keep Zhuge Liang, it is worth betting a lot.

After hearing his words, Jia Xu, who was seated last, was slightly taken aback.

According to the original plan of the two of them, the key was to win Taishan County. As for the Zhuge Juncheng, it would be better if he died, so that Liu Bei could recommend his own person to be the governor of Taishan County and better control Taishan.

But Lin Zichu...

Why do you care so much about this person's life?
Even Jia Xu couldn't figure it out.

However, Liu Bei agreed with Lin Chao's opinion: "Zi Chu's words are reasonable. This time I sent troops, it was at the invitation of Zhuge Juncheng. If Feng Gaocheng was destroyed and Zhuge Juncheng was killed by thieves, it would be a certain person. Negligence. So I sent an elite team to go deep into the hinterland of the bandit army, first to save Fenggao. Zichu thought, who can take on the important task?"

As soon as these words came out, except for Guan Yu, the eyes of all the other generals lit up, and they looked at Lin Chao fervently, with a hint of anticipation.

Who doesn't want to make contributions?
Even if they are counselors again, apart from Tian Feng who needs to farm to handle government affairs, the others are slightly moved.

Especially Xun Chen, since his return to Liu Bei, even his nephew Xun You has contributed to conquering and merging the state, but he has not made much credit.

Zhang Fei even slapped the table and shouted at Lin Chao: "Zi Chu, choose XX, XX wants to go!"

Lin Chao didn't pay attention to him at all, but put his eyes on the outermost position, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xuande, Chao thought that Wen Yuan could take on this important task."

　Today is Friday, I wish you all a happy weekend.
