The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 516
Guangling County, Ping'an County.

After Tai Shici led the army to Ping'an County, he did not immediately march to Guangling County, but set up camp on the spot, and planned to discuss the countermeasures with Xu Sheng before making any plans.

"General Xu, what should we do when we march this time?"

In the military tent, Tai Shici asked Xu Sheng.

Hearing this, Xu Sheng clasped his fists together and said, "General, the last general is a rough man who only knows how to lead troops to charge and kill. General, as the main general of this battle, he probably has a plan in his mind. Wherever the military orders go, the last general will be sure." I will go through fire and water, and I will die!"

Xu Sheng has always been brave and courageous, but it doesn't mean he is a simple-minded reckless man.

In addition, it was the first time for him to cooperate with Tai Shici, and he didn't know the temperament of the new boss, so he didn't dare to say more.

But Tai Shici had followed Lin Chaozu for more than a year, and was deeply influenced by him. Although he didn't learn much about others, he learned [-]% of the ability to win people's hearts.

Seeing Xu Sheng's refusal, Tai Shici smiled and said: "Why should General Xu be modest? Looking at the whole Xuzhou, no one knows that General Xu is loyal to the lord, and he takes the lead in every battle. Even the supervising army praised General Xu for his loyalty and diligence. There is courage to use!"

Hearing this, Xu Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

It has been more than a year since he returned to Liu Bei before conquering Dong Zhuo. Although he fought bravely in every battle and was even injured many times, it is just that there are too many elite soldiers in Xuzhou right now, so Xu Sheng still has no sense of presence.

But what kind of person is Jian Jun, who can remember a certain person, and even praise him personally...

Thinking of this, Xu Sheng couldn't help being a little excited, and blurted out: "The general is serious?"

"It's natural." Tai Shici said seriously, "A certain person has served as a guard by the overseer's side for more than a year, and he has been taught by the overseer's benevolence and righteousness. How can he deceive the general?"

That's true, Tai Shi Ziyi has no reason to lie to himself.

Thinking about it, Xu Sheng nodded his head, his eyes became more joyful.This kind of praise of a critical nature was very useful to Xu Sheng.

To be praised by Lin Jianjun for his loyalty and hard work, Xu Sheng suddenly felt that the hard work of the past two years was worth it.

Seeing Xu Sheng beaming, Tai Shici hurriedly hit the rails while the heat was hot: "General Xu, although this is the leader of an army, it is the first time to lead an army in battle. If there is something I don't understand, I hope General Xu can give me some pointers. I am very grateful."

There is a saying that if people respect me one foot, I will pay them back one foot!
Most of the people in this world are like this.

Seeing Tai Shici's modesty, Xu Sheng clasped his fists and said, "General, it is enough to call the last general. As for the two words, the last general would never dare to be the last general. The final general of this battle has some foolish opinions, so I only treat him as a general." The end will be nonsense."

Seeing that the method of shortening the distance had an effect, Tai Shici quickly smiled and said: "Wen Xiang has any good strategies, you might as well speak up!"

It's not to say how clever Tai Shici's methods are, in fact, things in this world are so simple.

Xu Sheng has been fighting in the army, while Tai Shici is Lin Chao's guard, there is a big gap between the two people's resumes.Everyone in Xuzhou knows that once Lin Changshi's guards are released, even if he can't lead an army alone, he will definitely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

In such a situation, Tai Shici took the initiative to show his favor again, and Xu Sheng had no room to refuse at all, so the relationship between the two began to heat up in just a short moment, so that it reached a very harmonious level.

Xu Sheng said: "General, the battlefield in Taishan County is in full swing, but we only have [-] soldiers on hand. We intend to guard against Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling. In the humble opinion of the last general, it is better to take the initiative to march instead of sticking to the defense. If we can Take Zhang Chao in one fell swoop and occupy Guangling County, then there will be no worries in the rear."

Hearing this, Tai Shici nodded, he also meant the same thing.

For my mission this time, the minimum requirement is that Zhang Chao cannot be allowed to sneak attack the hinterland of Xuzhou, but if he can capture Zhang Chao in one fell swoop, it will be safer.

Tai Shici asked again: "Wen Xiang thinks, how to march? If Zhang Chao has already joined Cao Yuan, how can he be captured without a fight!"

"Zhang Chao is not willing to arrest without a fight, so we need to test it in advance." Xu Sheng replied, "The general thinks that since Zhang Chao has not raised the flag of rebellion openly, he should send someone into the city to inform Zhang Chao first. The military order can directly enter the city. As long as the army enters the city, it can be captured in one fell swoop when it is not prepared, and the future troubles will be eliminated forever."

Xu Sheng's idea actually coincides with Xi Zhicai's, the difference is that Xi Zhicai has already taken the lead in controlling Zhang Chao.

"What if Zhang Chao refuses to let us enter the city?" Tai Shici asked again.

"Then pass on the Lord Jun's order to him, invite him to meet outside the city, and then take advantage of the situation to capture him." Xu Sheng said, "If Zhang Chao refuses to even leave the city, then he has something against him, and the general can send troops to stop him. Live in Guangling County, the main road to the hinterland of Xuzhou, and trap him in Guangling."

Xu Sheng's strategy, to put it simply, is to test first, and then capture. If neither is good, then he can only settle for the second best, and complete the minimum requirements for confronting Zhang Chao.

As a flanking battlefield, Xu Sheng knew that it was a great achievement not to destroy the enemy army, but to not increase the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

"Okay, let's act according to Wen Xiang's words!"

Tai Shici is not a person who does not know the importance of the situation. This is his first time leading troops into battle. Although he is extremely eager to win, he also knows how to act safely.

……

Two days later, a military order from Lin Chao was sent to Guangling County by Tai Shici, and Zhang Chao opened it in front of Xi Zhicai.

After seeing the above content, Xi Zhicai sneered suddenly.

Zhang Chao sighed, then turned his head and asked, "Mr. Xi, what should we do this time?"

Now that his wife, children, and even his own life are in the hands of others, Zhang Chao can only give in, but the humiliation and shame in his heart have not diminished by half.

It's agreed that everyone will fight Xuzhou together. It's not like I won't send troops, but you, Cao Mengde, sent someone to kidnap my wife, children, and children. What does it mean!
Even Zhang Chao has made up his mind that after this battle, he must sue Cao Cao severely in front of Yuan Shao.

At the very least... this green-robed scholar who dared to hold him hostage must die!
But right now, people are swordsmen, and I am fish.If you want to survive, you still have to be obedient.

Seeing Zhang Chao's question, Xi Zhicai sneered again, and said, "Prefect Zhang can directly agree to let them enter the city."

"This..." Zhang Chao said with a puzzled face, "Mr. Xi, what is the meaning of this? If this Taishi Ziyi enters the city, there will be a big battle between the enemy and us. Why don't you just refuse?"

"We can't talk about a big war, it's just a closed door to beat dogs." Xi Zhicai sneered, "The war is tight now, how can Xuzhou have extra soldiers and horses. According to some guesses, Tai Shi Ziyi's men and horses will not exceed 6000 at most during this trip. It is also Lin Zichu who left behind to guard against the prefect."

At this point, Xi Zhicai flashed a killing intent in his eyes, and suddenly he clenched his fists and said, "As long as we can wipe out all the [-] enemy troops in the city, the entire south line of Xuzhou will no longer have any defenses, and then we can drive straight in." , Attack the hinterland of Xuzhou!"

Zhang Chao still had some concerns, frowned and said, "The war has not yet started, sir, is this move... a bit risky?"

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai did not refute Zhang Chao, but just looked at him with a very strange look.This kind of gaze is very strange, it contains multiple emotions, including ridicule, disappointment, and even a bit of pity...

Zhang Chao's heart was terrified by Xi Zhicai's gaze, and he asked, "Sir, what's wrong with a certain statement?"

Xi Zhicai shook his head, and then said, "Who is Lin Zichu in Zhang Taishou's opinion?"

"What do you mean by Mr. Xi's words?"

For a while, Zhang Chao was a little confused by Xi Zhicai's question.

Xi Zhicai sneered and said: "Prefect Zhang, my lord and Yuan Cheqi joined forces to attack Xuzhou, and all the princes gladly followed. Although the main battlefield is in Taishan County, but the southern line of Xuzhou is empty, Lin Zichu must have concerns, and even think about it." The way to avoid future troubles. How to avoid future troubles, of course..."

As he said that, Xi Zhicai gestured a gesture of wiping his neck, matching with the grim expression on his face, startled Zhang Chao.

"In other words, as long as Guangling County on the southern line is not in the hands of Xuzhou, no matter who is the prefect of Guangling County, no matter whether he is hostile to Xuzhou or not, Lin Zichu will send troops to kill the prefect and control the prefecture. If Prefect Zhang If you don't believe me, you can think about it. What exactly does Taishi Ziyi want to do when he asks to enter the city?
In other words, from the moment the war started, no matter whether the prefect joined the alliance or not, he had become a thorn in Lin Zichu's side, a thorn in his flesh, and he had to get rid of it!
It's ridiculous that the eunuch is still timid and stagnant, which is tantamount to seeking his own death.

If you don't believe me, the eunuch can think back, among the people whom Lin Zichu has been targeting all these years, has any one escaped his evil hands?
Although this time, he acted in a hurry, but he also protected the eunuch from Lin Zichu's murderous hands. What does the eunuch think? "

The words were not polite at all, but Zhang Chao didn't feel humiliated at all. Instead, he broke out in a cold sweat and wet his back.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the time when both sides were hurting, but now it seems that he is really too naive.

Although Xi Zhicai is a hateful person, his rationality tells Zhang Chao that what he said is true.

After all, Lin Zichu couldn't let him go, not because he joined the Cao Yuan Alliance, but because he was the prefect of Guangling.

The official position under his ass is his own original sin!

After figuring this out, Zhang Chao's eyes suddenly flickered several times, and his heart was no longer timid.

Previously, they were fighting for their own interests, so it was natural to weigh gains and losses.But now it's a fight for his own life, so naturally he doesn't need to think about anything.

"Okay, then according to Mr.'s advice, let's close the door and beat the dog!"

Zhang Chao slapped the table, his eyes were full of killing intent.

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and smiled: "I am very pleased that the prefect has such awareness."

These words are of course exaggerated, but they are true.

In the current war, it is impossible for Lin Chao to allow an outsider to control the southern line of Xuzhou.

As for killing Zhang Chao both left and right, this is purely Xi Zhicai's words to scare Zhang Chao.

But fortunately, Zhang Chao likes this kind of thing very much, and he was successfully controlled by Xi Zhicai.
