The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 539 Risk
Under the city of Xindu.

The power of the 24-hour uninterrupted siege tactics is enormous. The defenders in Xindu City only lasted for two days. Until the dawn of the third day, they were exhausted and exhausted.

The morning sun was as bright as fire, and just as the city defenders were about to lean against the wall to rest against the dawn, the battle broke out outside the city again.

After Lin Chao led Guo Jia, Xun You and others to walk around the city in person, he was sure that the city had lost the will to resist desperately, so he fulfilled his promise and asked Zhang Fei to lead the five thousand elites to launch the final attack.

Among the 5000 people, there were no civilians mixed in, and all of them were selected from the original [-] army under Zhang Liao's command.

Twenty thousand people were fighting bloody battles and taking turns attacking the city, they were recharging their energy.

After two days, these soldiers have climbed to the peak in terms of physical fitness and momentum, and they are only waiting for today's battle.

Not to mention that during the mobilization before the war, Lin Chao wrote a lot of bad checks, which aroused the enthusiasm of these soldiers and raised their fighting spirit!

In short, it's just two words, coin!
So at dawn, when the defenders in the city thought that there would be no enemy attack and put down their guard, Lin Chao personally visited the commander's platform and gave the order to attack the city.

Following Zhang Fei's angry shout, he rushed to the city first, and a new round of fighting flames ignited again.

Fighting all the way from the early morning to the middle of the day, and finally with Zhang Fei's loud shout, the battering ram hit the broken and mottled gate of Xindu City for an unknown number of times.

Boom!

The city gate, which was overwhelmed by fighting for days, was finally knocked down, and it hit the ground heavily, and when the air filled the sky with dust, it was like a death knell, striking heavily on the hearts of the defenders in the city.

Without the city gate as a support, the outcome of this battle has basically been decided.

"Brothers, let someone kill you!"

Seeing that the city gate was broken, Zhang Fei's face suddenly showed ecstasy, and he let out a thunderous roar. The whole person had already rushed into the city like a wild beast, and started the harvesting journey.

Under the banner of the Xuzhou Army in the distance, Lin Chao saw that the city gate was broken, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Junyi, go and pass on the order of a certain general. This time you enter the city and don't cause more killings. Anyone who surrenders, don't kill a single person indiscriminately."

The killing of prisoners was unknown, Lin Chao was afraid that Zhang Fei would be red-eyed, so he sent Zhang Yun to dissuade him.

Furthermore, although those enemy soldiers who surrendered could not be subdued in a short time, they were the best vanguards in the next war, and it would be a pity to kill them.

"only!"

Zhang He clasped his fists together, and then charged forward on his horse.

About an hour later, just like when Xiabo County was conquered, Zhang Fei carried the head of the defenders in the city and rushed over happily all the way to welcome Lin Chao into the city.

So far, the Xindu County Government has been completely taken down.

After entering the city, the Lin Dynasty ordered the soldiers to rest and reorganize, and then organized the returned troops in the city to form an army separately, and reserved them as vanguards in the following battles.

Of course, uniting everything that can unite traditional arts, Lin Chao did not forget to display them.

The whole people are called together to treat guests.

Binding and killing the family who dared to resist and support Yuan Shao before was to behead.

And those gentry who were like weeds, Lin Chao also accepted them as dogs.

Dozens of large boxes were placed at the gate of the government office again, and the gold and silver treasures inside were nakedly displayed in front of everyone. There were hundreds of bloody heads beside them as a foil, and the scene in Xiabo County was repeated again...

In the evening of that day, when Lin Chao was sitting in the government office, looking at the sunset and thinking in silence, Guo Jia came hand in hand with Xun You with a few secret reports from the school affairs office.

"How's the situation outside?"

Lin Chao poured a cup of tea for the two of them and asked.

When the two sat down, Xun You took the lead and said, "Uncle, Yuan Shao's party members in the city have been wiped out, and his family property has been confiscated as military funds. In addition, more than ten thousand people with lofty ideals have been recruited, and they are willing to go south with the army to conquer."

Don't think about it, the people with lofty ideals in Xun You's mouth are the people who are encouraged by money.

Xindu is a county seat, and the people here are relatively well-off. Naturally, the people in Xiabo County are not as easy to be agitated, so the number of people recruited is actually less than that in Xiabo County.

Hearing this, Lin Chao nodded, and continued to ask: "How about the casualties in this battle, and what are the results?"

Xun You cupped his hands and replied: "This battle captured more than [-] enemy soldiers, and our army suffered a thousand casualties. As for the civilians who came with the army... nearly ten thousand were lost."

Lin Chao also had expected the mass casualties of the people, so after hearing Xun You's report, he just nodded lightly and sighed: "Write down all the names and surnames of the people who died in battle, and don't forget them. For some pensions, half a penny cannot be less.”

"As ordered!"

Xun You bowed his hands in response.

At this time, Lin Chao noticed the secret report in Guo Jia's hand, and said with a smile, "Is there any news from Mount Tai?"

"No, it's not just Mount Tai." Guo Jia put a serious face, put the military newspaper in his hand on the table, and said, "In addition to the military newspaper on Mount Tai, there are also Gongsun Bogui in the north, Zhang Yan in the west, and Zhang Yan in the east. News about General Guan."

"Then tell them one by one."

The four-way army on this trip cut Jizhou into pieces, and the ultimate goal must still be Yecheng, the southernmost city of Jizhou.As the central command position, Lin Chao is not allowed to issue orders to other armies when necessary, so intelligence must always follow up.

Hearing this, Guo Jia nodded and said, "In northern Hebei, Gongsun Zan led an army of [-] to attack Zhongshan and Boling, but the progress was slow. When the military report was issued, Gongsun Zan still failed to break through a single county."

"Gongsun Zan's troops fought bravely. It has been half a month since they marched, but they failed to capture a single county. This is obviously the result of the concentration of troops from the three counties in northern Hebei to deal with it." Xun You analyzed, "Uncle previously waited for Gongsun Zan to advance on purpose. When the news came, we sent troops again, obviously because we wanted to wait until the main force of the Northern Hebei Army defended Gongsun Zan, so that we would not fall into the danger of being attacked by the enemy. Now it seems that uncle's move was far-sighted."

Lin Chao waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of weighing the pros and cons, and it's not very clever. Feng Xiao continued."

Guo Jia picked up the second army letter and reported: "In addition, General Guan has marched westward from Mount Tai, and has now surrounded Ganling, the seat of Qinghe County. There are only a few thousand defenders in Ganling City. If there is no accident, within half a month But if you win it, you will be able to head west all the way to Yecheng, without any fortified city blocking you on the way."

"The 3 troops under Yunchang's command are all Xuzhou's elite soldiers, and Yunchang himself is a top-notch general in the world. It's not surprising that he can achieve such results. How about Zhang Yan and Shen Zhengnan?"

"Although Zhang Yan's troops had 5 to [-] people, after leaving Wu'an, they were blocked outside the city of Handan in Zhao County. Although it is only less than a hundred miles away from Yecheng, there has been no progress so far."

After all, Yecheng is the base camp of Jizhou, and the closer it is to Yecheng, the more intense the resistance will be.The soldiers under Zhang Yan's command are not strong, and it is normal to encounter obstacles.

Lin Chao thought for a while, and then asked again: "Where is the Taishan side, what is the movement of Cao Yuan's main force?"

The most critical point is Mount Tai. If Liu Bei can't contain the main force of the Cao-Yuan coalition forces and cause Yuan Shao to return to defense in time, then Lin Chao's arrangement will come to naught.

If you want to take down Yecheng, which is garrisoned by 20 people, it may not be effective within a year or so.

Furthermore, after the princes of Yanzhou reacted, they would not sit on the sidelines. At that time, the two sides would inevitably have to fight with real swords and guns.

"My lord's troops returned to Feiguo County five days ago after half a month's fierce battle with Cao Yuan's allied forces in Nanwuyang." Guo Jia frowned, "Feiguo is a small city, and the lord's subordinates suffered heavy casualties. Here, someone expects that within ten days, the lord will definitely retreat again."

"Back again..."

Hearing this, Lin Chao also frowned, and casually took out the marching map and laid it on the table.

"After the Kingdom of Fei, there is the border of Mount Tai. There is only a pass in the middle of the pass, and behind us is the hinterland of Langya in Xuzhou!"

Lin Chao pointed to the small pass on the map, and said to the two of them, "If Duke Xuande retreats from Fei Kingdom again, how long can he persist in Yuting?"

Facing Lin Chao's question, Guo Jia and Xun You looked at each other in blank dismay, but did not give an answer in the end.

It is extremely difficult to predict the direction of the war, not to mention that Liu Bei has less than 1 people left, but he has to face Yuan Shao's 20 troops. No one can say how long he can last.

Seeing that the two were silent, Lin Chao said again: "Once the Cao Yuan coalition army enters the hinterland of Langya, there will be no danger to defend except for Linyi County. At that time, Yuan Shao's 20 troops will be able to divide into troops and wreak havoc on the prefectures and counties." , This is almost a disaster for the people of Langya!"

How to fight the war is the most cost-effective?

Naturally, it is to keep the enemy out of the country!

In this way, even if you lose, it will not hurt the foundation.After Gou Yibo has accumulated enough capital, there is still the possibility of a comeback.

But if the war hits the hinterland of one's own side, everything will be like a wild horse running wild, beyond the scope of human control.

It is necessary to know that bandits pass like combs, and soldiers pass like grubs.Once the Cao Yuan allied forces entered the hinterland of Langya, not only the new policies carefully implemented by the Lin Dynasty for several years would be destroyed, but also the livelihood system that Langya had just built would collapse in an instant, not to mention that other states and counties would also be in danger of falling.

I have established an encirclement circle in Jizhou. It is a pleasure to divide and eat away at Yuan Shao's base camp, but if his home is stolen from the rear, Yuan Shao can also make waves in Xuzhou's base camp.

At that time, his big roundabout tactic will become a home-changing tactic.

This is what Lin Chao absolutely does not want to see!
Lin Chao slapped the table, his face was full of anger and he said: "No, Yuan Shao must not be allowed to invade Langya!"

For this big roundabout tactic, I have given up the barrier of Mount Tai, and now I must not let Langya suffer from the disaster of the army again!
Guo Jia naturally understood the importance of Langya, but he frowned and said, "But right now all the soldiers and horses we can use are on the battlefield, even if we want to send troops to reinforce the Lord, where can we get them?"

For Lin Dynasty's great detour tactics, Xuzhou sent out all the elite. Except for some civil servants who maintained the stability of the rear and stayed in Tan County, other elite soldiers and generals were sent to the battlefield.

Xun You frowned and said, "If something cannot be done, why not let General Zilong lead the army back to help the Lord?"

"No, at this time, there are still Yan Liang, Feng Ji, Cao Hong, Gao Lan and others in Le City, and there are still nearly 2 people under his command." Guo Jia resolutely objected, "Zilong relied on his previous winning streak , and under the guise of attacking day and night, they held back the main force of the 2 enemy troops. If they come back to help, even if these [-] people don't take the opportunity to chase and kill Zilong, they will raid the rear of our army!"

"But if General Zilong doesn't come back to help, who else can help?" Xun You frowned more and more, and said, "You need to know that once the battle on Mount Tai goes bad, and Yuan Shao leads the army to rush into Langya, Zang Ba and others in the north will inevitably be ready to move. Take my territory, and the good situation will be ruined!"

Guo Jia still disagreed, shaking his head and said: "In my opinion, it's better to let Wen Ruo lead the soldiers left behind in Tan County, and Lu Zike, Xu Wenyao and others will support Mount Tai, so it won't hurt the overall situation."

"This plan is impossible. If the two generals Lu and Xu come out, the rear will be empty, and it is inevitable that someone with a heart will spy on him. You need to know that Yuan Benchu ​​is the leader of the world's gentry, and it is inevitable that the Xuzhou family will yearn for him. The guarding soldiers must not move!"

Guo Jia sneered, with murderous intent on his brows: "It's easy to hear, before when Zichu went out to fight, he always killed people's heads, thinking that he would scare Xiaoxiao's generation, now we might as well ask Wen Ruo to follow suit."

"Feng Xiaoxiu is talking nonsense. If the situation really reaches that point, it will be even more unfavorable to gather people's hearts..."

The argument between the two quickly escalated, and Lin Chao, who was still frowning and thinking, was extremely annoyed by what you said and what I said.

"OK OK……"

Lin Chao persuaded with a wry smile on his face: "You guys, stay calm and don't be impatient. The situation may not be corrupted to this point. It was just a presupposition before, so there is no need to be so alarmed. Furthermore, with Ju Gong and his wisdom, we will definitely not let the situation fall into this situation." Waiting for the situation."

"Zichu, it's not that someone panicked, it's really that the Lord's public security is in danger." Guo Jia said, "Furthermore, if you don't take precautions in advance, when the time comes, it will be too late to regret it!"

Lin Chao said with a smile: "What Feng Xiao said is true, of course one must be wary, but it's not at this time. Feng Xiao, someone told you to remember."

Guo Jia nodded, took out the booklet and pen that he carried with him, and prepared to write down what Lin Chao was going to say next.

After Lin Chao frowned and thought for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "The first military order was passed on to Zilong who was in the Bohai Sea. If the Kingdom of Fei fell, the lord will lead the army back to the pavilion when the lord leads the army back.

The second is to Wen Ruo, let him try his best to maintain the operation of Xuzhou's government affairs, so that the people will not be panicked by the front-line war.If the lord is defeated from Yuting, please ask him to take up all the soldiers left behind in Xuzhou and go to Linyi to support the lord. We must not let the Cao Yuan coalition army break into the hinterland of Xuzhou!
The third way is given to Duke Ju of Taishan, asking him to do his best and obey the destiny. If the real thing cannot be done, don't worry about a certain strategy, and must protect the Lord's safety!Tell him, this is the bottom line! "

This strategy can fail, but nothing will happen to Liu Bei!

When Lin Chao finished speaking, Guo Jia had already finished writing, and he only waited for the ink to dry before passing it on through the school affairs office's exclusive information system.

"also……"

Lin Chao thought about it again, a stern look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Feng Xiao, you can spread the roundabout strategy of our army in the form of rumors, and it is best to let Yuan Shao know as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Guo Jia was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Zi Chu, what do you mean?"

"I've heard for a long time that Yuan Benchu ​​is a role model for the world, so I'll give him a chance this time, and let's see how he chooses." Lin Chao said with a smile, "If he is indecisive and in a dilemma, then don't blame me for messing with his mind on purpose."

"Hahaha……"

Guo Jia also laughed, pointed at Lin Chao and said, "What a way to disturb one's mind, Zichu, your actions are too unkind!"

"Guo Fengxiao, don't talk nonsense. A certain student is a gentleman of the ancients who studied under Duke Kang Cheng. Now he has even told Yuan Shao the strategy of marching troops. How can he not be kind!"

Lin Chao said with a smile: "The order, the army rests for one night, and will continue to march towards Ye City tomorrow!"
