The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 527 Gambling
Cao Cao's two soft coughs, like a basin of cold water, poured Yuan Shao from head to heels, calming him down, and the effect was comparable to after-the-fact smoke.

Yes, it is impossible for Lin Zixu to surrender after all.

But...what if?
Furthermore, since Lin Zixu had already said that he had to think about it, how else could he answer?

Yuan Shao estimated the current situation between the enemy and us, and he had just arrived with his army. Even if he attacked the city, he would need to rest for a while, so he said:
"Zixu, your elder brother has the style of an ancient gentleman, and I believe that Zixu will live up to me. It's just that I don't need to say too much about the truth that soldiers are expensive and fast. Zixu knows it well, and I can give you three days. I hope Zixu will make up his mind!"

Only for three days?

Well, it's better than nothing.

Lin Xi thought in his heart, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your size. When I return to the city, I will definitely think about it and live up to Mr. Yuan's kindness."

"Okay, I'm waiting outside the city for good news from Zixu!"

Yuan Shao laughed loudly.

After all the words were said, the two parties went back to their respective homes.

"At the beginning, you were careless just now." After returning to the formation, Cao Cao sighed, "Then Lin Zixu was just trying to delay time, so why should we talk nonsense with him?"

Facing Cao Cao's dissatisfaction, Yuan Shao smiled and said: "Don't worry about Meng De, we have come from a long way now, and it is time to rest our soldiers. After three days, if Lin Zixu still does not surrender, I will immediately order to attack the city! "

"This……"

Cao Cao thought for a while, and three days was indeed harmless, so he nodded.

In Lu County.

Seeing that Yuan Shao retreated and set up camp a few miles away after some discussion in the city, Liu Bei was a little puzzled, and asked Lin Xi what happened in the city.

Lin Xi talked about Ju's plan to slow down the army, but Liu Bei frowned and said, "Three days, not to mention relocating people, is not enough even to transfer food and grass. Zixu, why do you want to make a fuss with Yuan Benchu ​​for this little time?"

Ju Shou cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Zichu's plan to encircle Jizhou has already begun. Not to mention three days, even one day is precious!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said, "Since this is the case, what will happen after three days? You can't drag Yuan Benchu ​​like this forever."

"Of course not." A stern look flashed in Jushou's eyes, and he said, "Even if you want to retreat slowly and safely, and take the strategy of slowing down the troops, you must win a game first, or the enemy will underestimate me, Xuzhou."

Hearing that Jushou wanted to start a fight, Liu Bei was immediately excited, and said with a smile all over his face: "Mr.'s words are very true. He is not weaker than others in a certain life. How can he be underestimated by his old villain Yuan Shao this time!
Sir, tell me, how and when should we fight? "

Ju Shou: ...

Speaking of war, why are you so proficient, my lord?

……

Jizhou, Anping County.

Although the first battle outside the city of Lu County did not start, the rear battlefield in Jizhou had already started a head-on confrontation.

At this moment, Lin Chao is like a street runner shuttling between major stations.After frightening Zhang Yan's wave, he took his new guard, Zhang Yun, all the way northward to Xiabo County in Anping County.

It can't be blamed for Jizhou's lax defense, but Yuan Shao didn't expect the backyard to catch fire at all.In addition, he was attacked by Xuzhou just after he took over Jizhou. Later, Han Fu committed suicide, Cao Yuan alliance formed a joint conquest of Xuzhou and a series of things happened, which made Yuan Shao have no time to govern Jizhou.

Therefore, most of the officials in Jizhou are still appointed when Han Fu was alive, and it is normal to be a little lax.

After Zhao Yun divided the [-] troops, Zhang Liao took Zhang Fei, Guo Jia, Xun You and others all the way to the east and invaded the hinterland of Jizhou. At this time, they had already arrived at Xiabo County.

Just as Zhang Liao was about to attack Xiabo, and then took down the capital of Anping County, Lin Chao floated over and stopped Zhang Liao from attacking.

Although Zhang Liao and others did not understand what he meant, they did not dare to disobey Lin Chao's order.

A few days later, news came from the school office that Gongsun Zan in the north was attacking Hejian County. Lin Chao looked at the spy report in his hand, smiled happily, and immediately gave the order to attack the city.

Ever since he was stopped by Lin Chao when he was preparing to attack the city last time, Zhang Fei had been hungry and thirsty for a long time. At this time, he received the order and immediately led [-] forwards to attack Xiabo County frantically.

Anping County is the real hinterland of Jizhou. Under normal circumstances, even if a large-scale war occurs, it will not affect this place. After all, the border is heavily guarded.

Once hit here, it means that the frontline war has been defeated, and it has reached the point of life and death.

Therefore, although Xiabo County is a large county, not only is the city defense loose, the city wall is broken, and the number of guards is less than 2000.

Behind the battle formation, Lin Chao stood under the banner, waving his folding fan to drive away the heat of summer, while paying close attention to the siege ahead.

Beside him, Xun You and Guo Jia also stood with their hands behind their backs, both holding a folding fan.

Needless to say, Guo Jia's folding fan was snatched from Zhuge Liang.As for Xun You's folding fan, Lin Chao felt sorry for him and gave him one.

Anyway, this thing is not worth much, Xun You is his nephew after all, if he treats him badly, Lin Chao can't stand it when the tigress goes back home and shows off his power.

"Gongda, when do you think this city will be destroyed?"

After getting tired from standing, Lin Chao simply found something to put under his buttocks, sat down like this, and said at the same time.

Compared with Lin Chao, Xun You was not so calm.Although he has been on the battlefield for a long time, Xun You has always maintained the style of the lion fighting the rabbit and going all out, so at this moment his paralyzed face is still paying close attention to the situation on the field.

Hearing Lin Chao's question, before Xun You could answer, Guo Jia clapped his hands and laughed beside him, "It's just a small Xiabo County, with the courage of Yide, I think I can break the city this evening!"

Lin Chao stared at Guo Jia as if he didn't want to talk to him at all.

Break the city in one day?
Thank you for being so eloquent, you really regarded the guard in the city as Shi Kefa?

Compared with Guo Jia's Meng Lang, Xun You's answer was much more cautious. He said, "Uncle, the city wall of Xiabo County is only three feet high, and the damage is extremely serious. There are at most 2000 defenders in the city. So my nephew thought that five This city can be destroyed within a day!"

"That's right, what Gongda said is true!"

Lin Chao agreed with Xun You's answer, because he thought so too.

In some respects, what people can finally understand and agree with is only the answer with the same concept as their own.

Seeing the two singing together, Guo Jia suddenly became unhappy, and said angrily: "Lin Zichu, you said that you can't break the city in a day, do you mean that you look down on Yi De's bravery?"

"No, I just simply look down on your judgment." Lin Chao replied.

Guo Jia:  …

"Then you dare to fight a certain bet?"

Hearing that there is some fun to be had, Lin Chao smiled immediately, looked at Guo Jia with disdain, and said contemptuously, "If you want to gamble, what's the prize?"

Guo Jia was stared at by Lin Chao's contemptuous eyes, and he was in a bad mood, and he said angrily: "The winner is your apprentice, if you lose, you will agree to let Ah Liang learn military strategy with someone, how about it? "

As soon as he heard that he wanted to bet his apprentice, Lin Chao agreed on the spot.

"Okay, if you, Guo Fengxiao, lose, how about calling a certain uncle honestly after you marry Zhuge?"

Hearing this, Guo Jia was startled for a while, then pointed at Lin Chao and said angrily: "Lin Zichu, you shameless villain!"

"If you don't dare to bet, just say it, I didn't force you."

Lin Chao directly ignored Guo Jia's anger, and said sarcastically.

"Okay, so-and-so gambled!"

Guo Jia gritted his teeth and directly chose Stud.

Hearing this, Lin Chao rejoiced and said: "Haha, my nephew Fengxiao can rest assured, uncle will let you lose heartily!"

Seeing that Lin Chao started to take advantage before winning, Guo Jia almost lost his temper, and immediately grabbed Lin Chao by the collar, looking like he wanted to fight him desperately.

Seeing this, Xun You hurriedly persuaded him: "Uncle, Feng Xiao, the battle is still in the balance, so please stay calm... How decent is it for the two armies to fight privately before the battle!
And... can someone join in? "

Lin Chao: ...

Guo Jia:  …
