The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 515
After Gongsun Zan decided to send troops, Lin Chao did not stay in Ji County for too long.

Of course, Lin Chao visited Liu Yu again the next day, and asked Liu Yu to send troops to reinforce Xuzhou.As a result, it was naturally rejected by Liu Yu as expected.

Regarding this point, Lin Chao was well prepared before coming, so there was nothing to be disappointed about.

Like Dong Zhuo, he was as vicious as he was, he bullied the emperor, and Liu Yu didn't send troops when he challenged Dong. What's more, now that the princes are fighting in chaos, Liu Yu won't get involved.

How can I say this kind of mentality... Lin Chao understands Liu Yu's thoughts, but does not approve of Liu Yu's decision.

In Liu Yu's view, although Dong Zhuo is licentious and immoral, you Guandong princes may not be a good thing.Attacking each other is always inseparable from a struggle for fame and fortune.

He was highly trusted by the first emperor, and as the shepherd of Youzhou, he should protect the environment and the people, and would not easily get involved in any disputes.

Furthermore, at that time Dong Zhuo only abolished the establishment and did not usurp the throne.He established that the Son of Heaven is still in the blood of Liu Hong, and it is reasonable to claim that Xingyi and Huo are related.

The imperial court is the imperial court after all, and Liu Yu only listens to the imperial court after all. As long as the emperor in the imperial court is still surnamed Liu, this will not change in any way.

This kind of behavior of cherishing feathers and refusing to be criticized by others is more similar to Huangfusong and Zhu Jun.

I have been loyal to the big man all my life, so I can't end up losing my life when I get old.

They cherish their feathers more than their own lives, so they naturally become fence-sitters.

Even now that Liu Yu has introduced Liu Bei as a confidant and regarded him as a fellow, he has no intention of sending troops to help.

However, Liu Yu was a benevolent gentleman after all. Although he did not plan to send troops to help, he promised to provide some money, food and materials as his last support to his fellow-men.

But Lin Changshi, who always liked prostitution for nothing, sternly rejected what Liu Yubai offered this time.

First of all, the general strategy for this battle has been set, and the little supplies, money and food given by Liu Yu can't control the battle situation, but Xuzhou owes him a big favor.

Secondly, after receiving these things now, I may not be able to specify what things will be used to repay them in the future.

The last point is also the most important point - if you accept the benefits now, how will you do anything to Liu Yu in the future?
Although Lin Chao hasn't figured out how to deal with Liu Yu yet, it's always right to leave more room for himself in everything.

Five days later, after Gongsun Zan had completed his preparations, Lin Chao also bid farewell to Liu Yu.During the farewell of Liu Yu and a group of Youzhou celebrities, Lin Chao embarked on a journey here.

It was near the end of May, and all of Lin Chao's backhands had been deployed. The Cao Yuan alliance's attack on Xuzhou finally officially kicked off!

……

As the southernmost prefecture in Xuzhou, Guangling County is large enough to surpass all other prefectures in Xuzhou, but it still cannot escape the fate of large land and sparse population.

And because it is adjacent to the East China Sea, Wuhui to the south, Xiapi to the west, and the Yangtze River natural moat in the middle, it has never been regarded as a battleground for military strategists.

To put it simply, the location of Guangling County prevents it from becoming a strategic hub, but only a corner.

As the prefect of Guangling County, Zhang Chao naturally also participated in this Cao Yuan alliance.However, due to the long distance, he did not go to Yanzhou to meet the League, but stayed in Guangling, waiting for the right time for the war to develop, and took advantage of the situation to raise troops northward and invade the hinterland of Xuzhou.

This idea is naturally excellent, but it is a pity that Lin Chao had already made first-hand preparations, sending Tai Shici and Xu Sheng to lead the army south to Guangling, the purpose was to prevent Zhang Chao from backstabbing.

But a wise man has a lot of worries, and there is still a mistake!
What's more, Lin Chao is not a wise man.

While he had a backup in Guangling, he didn't know that someone had already set his sights on this place, and was thinking of taking the opportunity to do something wrong.

And this person is Xi Zhicai who survived a catastrophe.

This time the Cao Yuan Alliance launched a war against Xuzhou, its essence has long been seen clearly.These so-called princes are all a group of mobs. It may be feasible to wave their flags and shouts, but it is unrealistic for them to rush to fight Xuzhou.

Under the circumstances that he could only rely on himself, Xi Zhicai no longer had much hope for the frontal battlefield of Taishan County.

Even if Yuan Shaoken took the lead in dispatching troops and used his soldiers to clear the way for the army, it is impossible to achieve a complete victory in this battle in the true sense.

Looking at the terrain of Taishan County, there are so many mountains and mountains all the way, it is extremely difficult to use troops.Even though there are nearly 20 coalition forces, as long as Xuzhou sends [-] to [-] elite troops to defend the city, it will definitely not be a problem to spend a year or so here.

What's more, the civil servants and military generals who are ranked first in Xuzhou now hardly show their faces.

That hateful Lin Zichu didn't even know what kind of insidious scheme he was planning in the dark.

In Xi Zhicai's view, attacking Mount Tai now is tantamount to sitting and waiting to die.

If you want to break the situation, you can only start from other places.

Although he couldn't figure out Lin Chao's plans, he still had plans.Then each plays his own way, and the final moment will always tell the difference.

Xi Zhicai's plan was very simple. He led one or two thousand cavalry and rushed to Guangling County in the starry night to join the county guard Zhang Chao.Then when Taishan was fighting fiercely on the frontal battlefield, he attacked Donghai County by surprise, so it could be decided in one battle!

As for whether Lin Chao will stay behind in Guangling County, Xi Zhicai has also seriously thought about this point, and the final answer is yes, but not too much.

After all, relying on the power of Xuzhou alone to fight against many princes, the military strength must be stretched.

Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, only had five or six thousand people under his command. Even if Lin Zichu had left behind, his strength would not be too many.And the general who led the army could not be the general of Xuzhou.

So, I have a chance!
As soon as Xi Zhicai's thoughts were reported, he immediately got Cao Cao's support.Anyway, the frontal battlefield is already like this, it is better to let Xi Zhicai let go, but before leaving, Cao Cao repeatedly told Xi Zhicai to pay attention to his own safety.

After a lot of hurrying, Xi Zhicai finally led two thousand cavalry into Guangling County the day before Tai Shici's arrival.

Zhang Chao was a little surprised to see Xi Zhicai coming.After hearing about Xi Zhicai's plan, although Zhang Chao had a good relationship with Cao Cao, he still shook his head repeatedly, saying that the plan was too risky, and he disagreed.

But Xi Zhicai doesn't need his consent at all, all he needs is to shut up.

Xi Zhicai had never had expectations of these princes, so naturally he would not show mercy to them.

After a long-planned small-scale fight, Xi Zhicai successfully subdued Zhang Chao and hijacked Zhang Chao's wife, children, and children as bargaining chips to make him obedient.

Although it is a bit unkind to treat allies like this, but the matter is urgent, and I don't care so much right now.

Xi Zhicai knows that if he wants to win the final victory, he must control all available power in his own hands!
