King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 553 Raiding Xuzhou
Looking at Liu Biao's face full of aura, Li Lin pretended to think for a while, stretched out his hand nervously, and said slowly to Liu Biao, "Look, what will happen in five days?" After speaking, he looked at Liu Biao, waiting for Liu Biao's answer.

Liu Biao immediately angrily said: "Okay! Just five days later, my army will crush your Youliao army in five days! Let's see how rampant you are!"

Li Lin slapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay! That's it. Five days later, the time is what I said. To be fair, you can decide the location as you like!"

Liu Biao smacked his lips, why did he feel like he was tricked?But since everything was said, Liu Biao couldn't return, so he said, "Okay!" After finishing speaking, he rode back to the camp, and Li Lin looked at Liu Biao with a smile.

When Cai Mao heard that Liu Biao had made an appointment with Li Lin, he was worried. When Liu Biao came back, he immediately said, "My lord, why don't you just rush over with your army and tell Li Lin what to expect in five days!"

Liu Biao said quietly: "Our army's foothold is not stable. This Li Yuanjie saw that my [-] army has no fear, calm and composed, and deliberately provoked me to let me attack. He must have prepared and even laid a trap. The army is now fighting in Yingchuan controlled by Li Lin, how could it be so reckless! Hurry up and set up camp!"

"Promise!" Cai Mao nodded upon hearing this, making sense, and with a wave of his hand, Liu Biao's army slowly retreated.

"Bah!" Seeing that Liu Biao had retreated, Li Lin glanced at Liu Biao's army, spit on the ground, and then turned around and shouted to the soldiers under his command, "Enter the camp!"

"No!" The Youliao army slowly entered the big camp behind them, and hurriedly hoarded food and grass without knowing how to defend.

"Huh..." Li Lin also let out a sigh of relief, seeing that his army was safe and sound, he was glad that the time he had calculated was correct, if it was half an hour late, it would be bad, Li Lin Patting himself on the chest, he said, "I can't be so risky in the future. Fortunately, I won the bet. Liu Biao's list is small!"

Two hours later, Tai Shici led the rest of the army to the city of Yingyang. It turned out that the army behind Li Lin just now was only more than 3, and the Youliao army was very close to Liu Biao's army, so Li Lin let his troops The army spread out horizontally and stood, appearing to be relatively large in number. In fact, there were a lot of supplies behind them that had not yet been sent to the camp. Liu Biao was timid and did not pick up this bargain, while Tai Shici led the remaining [-] The men and horses arrived when Liu Biao was no longer able to fight back.

Why is Li Lin so slow?He had to be slow, knowing that Sun Quan had conquered Hefei, Li Lin was in a hurry, and made a plan for the next step, which was to make Liu Biao confused, and even the master was confused, so even if the army had 10,000+, it was just a bunch of mobs.

And just after Li Lin received Chen Deng's surrender to Sun Quan, Zhao Hu, the navy general under Li Lin's command who had been waiting for a long time, finally received his mission. Zhao Hu, being able to board the ship and go to battle, for Zhao Hu, this is a great sense of satisfaction.

If it is said that Li Lin and several princes got involved in the Central Plains War, it seems that it has nothing to do with Zhao Hu's navy. Why would Li Lin use the navy?Of course, this is about Xun You's strategy against Cao Pi. He gave up half of Xuzhou and let the Jiangdong troops meet with the Youliao army in Xuzhou. They made troubles, which led to the breakdown of the alliance between Li Lin and Sun Quan, and the pressure on Liu Biao's side was reduced. Not a star.

It's a pity that Li Lin learned of this strategy under the rapid fall of Yanzhou. It was precisely because the speed of Cao Pi's message could not keep up with Li Lin's speed of taking Yanzhou. As a result, Li Lin fully understood Xun You's strategy, and also In response to Xun You's strategy, a response plan was made. It was very simple. Try to fall out with Jiang Dong. With Jiang Dong Zhou Yu's wisdom and Chen Deng's surrender, he probably knew Xun You's plan a long time ago, but the letter he handed over But he didn't mention a word in it, probably because he wanted to take advantage of Li Lin's ignorance, and get some cheapness from it. What cheapness, of course, is Xuzhou. Li Lin fought on two fronts, attacking Xuzhou and defending Yingchuan, while Zhou Yu just attacked Shouzhou In spring, it is much easier to enter Runan, but the rewards are also less.

Who is Zhou Yu, how can he be at a disadvantage? Of course, he is trying to find a way to win Xuzhou decently while playing Shouchun, and Li Lin is a person who is not enough to let you take advantage. Of course, he will not let that Zhou Yu win Xuzhou for nothing. But both of them want Xuzhou, isn't this just the trajectory of Xun You?In the end, Li Lin made a concession. As long as the north of Xuzhou, the north of Surabaya, Langya, Donghai, and half of Xiapi belong to Li Lin, the rest of Huai'an, Huaiyin and other places that he loves will be given to Zhou Yu. That is, as soon as Xiapi City above Surabaya is the boundary, the south will belong to the Sun family, and the north will belong to the Li family. But Li Lin is all a plan, and he has not yet reached an agreement with Sun Quan. That is to say, Xuzhou is now Cao Pi's place in Harbin, and I am too embarrassed to be big, so I am embarrassed to shoot?
Therefore, Zhao Hu, who was a general of the navy and a bandit, once started his old business and robbed Xuzhou. Even if Sun Quan got the city, it was useless for you, but this time the plunder was a little different , What they want is not food and materials, but the people of Xuzhou.

As soon as Tao Qian from Xuzhou came, he was the granary of the Central Plains, with a well-to-do household registration, and now Cao Pi is obviously going to withdraw. The food and supplies from Xuzhou have already begun to be shipped to Pengcheng, where Che Zhou is guarding Xuzhou's last hope, what are you waiting for? At that time, the Cao family can make a comeback and snatch Xuzhou back by themselves.

So what is valuable in Xuzhou now, only the common people are left. Li Lin ordered that Zhao Hu immediately take the sea sailing boat first, followed by a long line of boats and boats, not for a big water battle, but for pretending to be the common people. In fact, Zhao Hu actually brought 1 troops under his command, and the rest of the navy was still in Gao Lan's hands to guard against Luoyang Zhongyou.

Now the number of sea-wind boats has expanded to nine, and the technology of sea-wind boats is faster than before. Li Lin's constant battles make the improvement of this technology even more unstoppable, and Zhao Hu is also very excited to stand on the sea. Why, Zhao Hu The bearded chin tells you, "Hey, this is the first time I have sailed on the Yellow Sea! Hehe..."

Zhao Hu's excitement, even the soldiers under his command were very excited. The navy regards the sea as its home, the infantry guards the land, and the navy guards the sea. Little by little, he nurtured Zhao Hu's thoughts, and Zhao Hu further brought out this large number of naval forces.

"General! There is a big port in front, probably the port of Xuzhou!" The watchman shouted excitedly.

Zhao Hu laughed and said: "Haha, I have been feeling for several days, and today I finally found the right place!" I beat Qingzhou down, walked along the coast for a while, passed Qingzhou, then it must be Xuzhou, and the sailboat itself is two or three times faster than ordinary big ships, even if it is rampant on the sea, Zhao Hu is also Not afraid.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Hu yelled: "Brothers, enter the city, and all the people in the city will be driven out by me, and transported to the boat! Do you understand?"

"No!" The Youliao Navy, who had already prepared for a long time, shouted immediately.

"Kill!" With an order, the sea wind boat quickly docked, Zhao Hu led a group of wolf-like sailors under his command, and rushed to the shore roaring...

"General! I heard from the captured tongue that it is Guangling in front of me!" The time has passed five days later. During these five days, Zhao Hu wandered along the coast of Xuzhou, frantically looting more than a dozen cities and plundering the people. 10,000+ people, and quite a few Cao Pi still left behind to give him a little bit of food and supplies for the garrison, so that even if he loaded all the ships he could use on the people, the supplies were a bit too big. Hu immediately sent 3000 soldiers and horses to escort all the people to Qingzhou to settle down, while he led [-] people and horses, and then went south. One county is Guangling County, which has been under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong. It's a pity that he knows greed, and Zhao Hu is even more greedy. Zhao Hu's greed is not greedy for money, but greedy for merit. The greater the credit, this is what Zhao Hu wanted.

"Keep moving forward!" Zhao Hu said in a muffled voice.

The person next to him said: "General, this Guangling is now owned by Jiangdong, and we and Jiangdong can be regarded as friendly forces. If we go further south, I'm afraid..."

As soon as Zhao Hu raised his hand, he said angrily: "Hmph! What is Jiangdong? I hate those southern barbarians the most. I just want to rob Guangling. Besides, I just need to fill up the few remaining sea breezes we have left." , the Jiangdong soldiers and horses will not be able to catch up!"

The confidant hesitated and said: "But general, after all, the lord has cooperated with Sun Quan, so we can rob Cao Jun. If Sun Quan finds out that the army under the lord's command is going to plunder the people under Jiangdong, wouldn't it be a treachery for the lord?" notoriety?"

Zhao Hu rolled his eyes, nodded, and said: "Yes, you can't discredit the lord! Although the lord has a lot of reputation!" The cronies around him were stunned, and quickly straightened up, saying that this is what you, Zhao Hu, said alone. Yes, it has nothing to do with me.

Zhao Hu also had a lot of eyes, and after a brief thought, he came up with a crooked idea, and immediately ordered: "Take down all the Liao flags of our army!"

"Ah? This... General!" The confidant said in surprise.

Zhao Hu waved his hands and laughed: "Hehe, Jiangdong who doesn't use the name of the lord to grab a girl will soon be here! Don't worry about it, keep moving forward!"

"I..." The confidant was speechless for a moment, so he had to let Zhao Hu mess around. Who made him a general?
