The three countries are very nuclear

In late March, Lin Chao and his party arrived in Yuyang County, Youzhou.

Here, Lin Chao finally met all the generals of this expedition, as well as all the members of his temporary staff department.

The strategic arrangement has almost been carried out, and the next step is the duel at the tactical level.

How should this battle be fought?
Soldiers are precious and fast, and the second day after Lin Chao arrived in Yuyang, he convened everyone to discuss the strategy for this attack.

After waiting for everyone to gather, Lin Chao said: "Everyone, please come up with a charter for how to conduct this Northern Expedition."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Zhang Fei and Xin Ping.

There is a way to know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.The two of them had traveled outside the Great Wall for many years, so they naturally knew much more information than Lin Chao and others. Before the war started, it was natural to listen to their opinions.

Zhang Fei was not too polite, and immediately said with a smile: "If you ask me, Lao Zhang, those barbarians are nothing special. They live a life of ruthlessness and blood drinking outside the Great Wall. Even adults in the tribe can't even afford a few iron pots. You only need to give a certain [-] elite riders, and a certain person can kill them all!"

Crowd: ...

Lin Chao suddenly had a headache, and waved his hand feebly, motioning for Zhang Fei to sit down first, then turned his attention to Xin Ping.

"Zhongzhi, tell me."

"As ordered!"

Compared with Zhang Fei's nonsense, Xin Ping was much more reliable. He took out a pamphlet from his pocket, and then began to talk endlessly, explaining to everyone the distribution of forces outside the Great Wall.

According to the information collected by Xin Ping over the years, since the death of the hero Tan Shihuai, the current Xianbei tribes have roughly split into three forces.

One is the tribe headed by the leader.It is roughly distributed outside the Great Wall to the north of Bingzhou, with a population of more than [-] under its rule, and about [-] soldiers capable of fighting.

After Tan Shihuai's death, his son Helian succeeded to the throne.But He Lian had no ambitions and was fond of lust, so the Xianbei tribes were dissatisfied and rebellious.

Coincidentally, He Lian was shot to death when he plundered the Northland in the last years of Emperor Ling, and now Xianbei became even more unstable.

And today's leader is Helian's nephew, who has also inherited a large part of the inheritance since Tan Shihuai, and is the strongest among the Xianbei tribes.

The second is the tribe headed by Suli, roughly distributed in the north of Youzhou, with a population of more than 5 under its rule and about [-] soldiers capable of fighting.

The tribe of Suli is more interesting, because it is not Suli who has the final say.

The eastern Xianbei is more like a union of several big tribes. Suli, Mijia, and Queji are in charge of the army, but Suli's tribe is the strongest.

The third is the central Xianbei headed by Ke Bineng, which is distributed in Daijun, north of Shanggu.

Since Ke Bi Neng came from a low background, he won the hearts of the people because of the fairness of law enforcement, so this is the smallest of the three forces. The population under its rule is less than 20, but there are 6 or [-] soldiers capable of fighting.

It is worth mentioning that when Xin Ping mentioned Ke Bineng, his expression on his face was extremely dignified. He asserted on the spot that this person has the wind of sandalwood, stone and locust trees.
I have to say that Xin Ping's vision is quite vicious.

Because in the original history, there were only two heroes who could integrate the Xianbei tribes, one was Tan Shihuai, and the other was this Ke Bineng.

It's just that Ke Bi Neng at this time is still weak and unknown, so no one knows about it.

After listening to Xin Ping's analysis, Lin Chao said, "That is to say, the three Xianbei tribes together have at least 15 soldiers capable of fighting?"

"No, I'm afraid it won't stop." Xin Ping shook his head and sighed, "At that time they went south to plunder, and all of them were the elite members of the clan. But this time we went north to conquer, facing the danger of life and death, the tribe's All men can become soldiers.

The foreign tribe has always made a living by grazing. Most of the adult men in the tribe are good at riding and shooting, and they also occupy a good location. If this battle is not properly prepared, the outcome is really uncertain. "

After hearing Xin Ping's words, the faces of everyone present became gloomy.

With 15 against [-], the peace has been lost.As for the climate, terrain, water sources, etc. outside the Great Wall, even though Zhang Fei had stayed there for eight years, it was impossible for him to understand better than the locals.

Emotional timing, geographical advantage, people and none of them take advantage of it, how can this battle be fought?
Lin Chao saw that morale was a bit low, so he smiled and said, "Don't be alarmed, after all, it's man-made, and there may not be no chance of winning this battle. Besides, our armor, weapons, military equipment, etc. are much better than those barbarians. As long as we fight steadily , why worry too much.

What's more, during the military training in the past, a certain weapon was prepared. The barbarians are definitely not our opponents. "

"May I ask what sharp weapon it is?" Guo Jia asked.

"You don't need to ask too much, you'll know when the time comes." Lin Chao smiled, "Now that the strength of the enemy and us is clear, what good strategy do you guys have for me?"

Hearing this, all the counselors began to frown and think hard.

After a while, it was Xun You who stood up first and said, "Uncle, my nephew thinks that this battle should be divided into three steps."

Hearing this, Lin Chao gave Xun You a surprised look.

Treating guests, beheading, accepting pawns?
Xun You didn't notice Lin Chao's expression, but continued: "The first step is to take Youzhou first. It is best if you can fight without bloodshed. The second step is to use Liu Bo'an's prestige and supplement it with heavy forces to coerce Wuhuan into my use." , as a pawn to attack Xianbei. The third step is to march north and attack Xianbei!"

After listening to Xun You's words, Lin Chao couldn't help but nodded.

I thought I guessed wrong, it turned out to be the wrong order.

Treat guests, collect dogs, and then behead them, right?

"What do you guys think of the public policy?"

Hearing this, everyone stood up and clapped their hands together, saying, "Your Majesty seconded the proposal!"

"Okay, if you have no objections, then act according to the public plan."

"As ordered!"

……

Now that you have a strategy, you can proceed step by step.

How to take Youzhou without bloodshed is actually very particular.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Chao finally thought of a safer method.

There are two factions in Youzhou today, state shepherd Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, Lin Chao intends to deal with Liu Yu first.

As for how to solve it, it is nothing more than four words-both hard and soft.

So at the end of March, Lin Chao first ordered Lin Xi to lead an army of [-] to march towards Guangyang County, the prefecture of Youzhou, officially kicking off the prelude to the entire Northern Expedition.

And when the soldiers approached the city, Lin Chao took Jia Xu and Guo Jia slowly and set foot on the journey from Yuyang County.

The so-called soft and hard, others are soft first, but this time Lin Chao plans to come hard first.

……

"My lord, what a disaster!"

In the city of Ji County, Xian Yufu shouted as soon as he stepped into the threshold of the state capital.

"What's the yelling?"

Liu Yu came out of the hall with a face full of doubts, but seeing Xian Yufu's messy appearance, he was a little displeased and said, "Xianyu is engaged, this is a prefecture, and you, as an official of the imperial court, are so yelling, How decent!"

"Oh, my envoy, it's already this time, what's the matter of etiquette!"

At this time, Xian Yufu didn't care so much anymore, he immediately walked up, pulled Liu Yu and walked out.

"What the hell happened?"

Liu Yu was confused by Xian Yufu, so he asked.

"My lord, Lin Zixu led a large army to the city. When he entered the city, he had already sent a large army to surround the city. At this moment, it is a fly, and it is difficult to fly!"

"What, impossible!"

Hearing this, Liu Yu froze on the spot as if hit by a bolt from the blue.

If there is anyone among the princes in the world who is loyal to the Han Dynasty, besides Liu Bei, there is only Liu Yu.

Seven years ago, Jia Xu held the emperor's edict and appointed Lin Xi as the prefect of Yuyang. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu only hesitated for a moment, and then agreed on the spot.

You must know that Yuyang is just across the river from Guangyang, the seat of Youzhou.This move undoubtedly exposed himself under the eyes of Xuzhou's army.

But the emperor's edict came first, and Liu Yu carried it out without hesitation.

But he is not stupid, and has been sending people to watch Lin Xi's movements all these years.And this person was none other than Xian Yufu who had just yelled.

Because Lin Xi dispatched troops so quickly this time, Xian Yufu didn't have time to react at all.As soon as he arrived at Ji County, Lin Xi's army arrived on his back.

In the courtyard, Liu Yu was still puzzled, and said to himself: "Xuande's younger brother is a clan relative to XX, and Lin Zichu is a famous person in the world. Why does Lin Zixu march against XX?"

"Emissary, at the moment, I don't care about analyzing the reasons. Lin Zixu just sent a message in the city to invite the envoy to talk to the head of the city. Let's go! Otherwise, the soldiers will be killed and the blood will flow like a river!"

Youdao is not a family, do not enter a family.

Liu Yu has always loved the people like his own son, which led to the fact that his subordinates are also people with lofty ideals. Although they may not have great talents, most of them are honest and honest.

In the original history, after Liu Yu was murdered by Gongsun Zan, it was Xian Yufu who gathered a group of people and united Yuan Shao to avenge Liu Yu.

"This statement is reasonable, so I went up to the tower and asked him why Lin Zixu invaded our border!"

Liu Yu said angrily that he was going to take Xian Yufu out together.

"Wait a minute, sir!"

At this moment, a loud voice came from behind, and then a middle-aged man with a height of eight feet came out. It was Yan Rou, the number one general under Liu Yu's command.

"What does General Yan mean?" Liu Yu asked doubtfully.

Yan Rou clasped her fists and said: "Emissary, a certain general just didn't hear what Yu Engeng said. Lin Zichu led an army to besiege the city, so the people who came must have been unkind. Please wait for a while for a certain general to mobilize troops. It is safer to do so. "

Hearing this, Xian Yufu also echoed, "What General Yan said is reasonable, but I was flustered just now."

Liu Yu nodded and said: "Alright, please hurry up, General, it's not good for Lin Zixu to hurt the people under a certain rule."

"As ordered!"

Yan Rou clasped her fists and left.

After a long while, under the protection of Yan Rou and the accompanying soldiers, Liu Yu hurriedly climbed to the top of the city.

When looking down along the city wall, Liu Yu almost fainted from anger on the spot.

The army under the city probably numbered in the tens of thousands. With such a large army suddenly appearing under the city of Ji County, to say that Lin Zixu hadn't planned it for a long time was just an insult to Liu Yu's IQ.

Could it be that Liu Xuande really wants to attack someone?
Just when Liu Yu was filled with mixed feelings, Yan Rou who was next to her took a deep breath and shouted to the city: "Who is coming, the envoy is here, don't hurry to get off the horse and see you!"

Lin Xi is now the prefect of Yuyang, and Liu Yu is the shepherd of Youzhou, so in theory, Lin Zixu should be Liu Yu's subordinate, and he should dismount to see him.

But in this situation, Yan Rou didn't expect her words to be effective at all, she just wanted to suppress Lin Xi morally before speaking.

But he never expected that after Lin Xi heard the words, he actually got off his horse and bowed respectfully to Liu Yu in the city.

"My subordinate, Lin Zixu, pay my respects to the envoy!"

Now Yan Rou couldn't help, even Liu Yu was a little confused, and immediately asked: "Lin Zixu, you gathered an army to besiege my Youzhou government office, do you want to rebel!"

Lin Xi still replied respectfully: "Your words are serious, and the lower officials have low morals, how dare you do such a rebellious thing."

This Lin Zixu... doesn't seem to want to break his face.

Liu Yu immediately sensed the elements, and then gained confidence, and continued to yell loudly: "Since it is not a rebellion, why not lead the army back to Yuyang immediately. As a prefect of a county, how dare you leave your post without authorization? Be careful that someone will dismiss you Resign!"

"To appease the king, it's not that the subordinate officials want to leave their posts without authorization, but because of the imperial edict, they have to come."

Liu Yu asked suspiciously, "Decree?"

The next moment, Lin Xi took out a copy of the Emperor's Edict from his bosom, held it high in his hands, and shouted towards the city: "Here is the Emperor's Edict, so if you don't believe it, you can go out of the city to read it yourself."

Although Liu Yu didn't believe that Lin Xi dared to pretend, it was impossible for him to come out under such circumstances.

"Lin Zixu, do you dare to throw the edict up and let someone verify the authenticity?"

Lin Xi shook her head and said, "That's not allowed, because this edict is not only for the subordinates, but also for you, the emissary. Here is the edict, please come out of the city to listen to the hadith."

Hearing this, Liu Yu suddenly fell into a dilemma.

Out of the city, of course it is impossible!

If he doesn't leave the city, he will inevitably be criticized by Lin Xi.

At the critical moment, Xian Yufu retorted loudly: "It's a joke, the envoy is the ruler of a state, even if there is an edict, the imperial court will pass it into the envoy's hands first, why is it in your hands, Lin Zixu? From a certain point of view , I am afraid that you, Lin Zixu, are rebellious and rebellious!"

Lin Xi has always been not good at flirting. Seeing that Liu Yu refused to leave the city, he said, "Emissary, the edict is here. Whether it is true or not, you can see it when you leave the city. If the envoy does not want to leave the city, the next official will I dare not force it, but the edict of the emperor must be conveyed to the envoy.

When the envoy is willing to come out, the next official will withdraw his troops.If the envoy refuses to come out all the time, the next official has no choice but to wait outside the city. "

Hearing this, Liu Yu and the others were almost so angry that they spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Lin Zixu, playing tricks, right?

However, no matter how Xian Yufu and the others scolded and scolded, Lin Xi didn't reply at all, feeling quite a bit snotty and lonely that he couldn't be ignored.

The two sides held each other like this until a day later, Lin Chao guessed that the time was almost up, and then arrived at the city belatedly.
