Chapter 155

Second year of Chuping, early first month

Xuzhou Provincial Governor Tao Qian dispatched his general Cao Bao, leading thirty thousand troops, to drive straight in from the direction of Jianling and station troops in Quyang!

Additionally, he mobilized thirty thousand troops from Xiapi and Peng Cheng, led by Deputy General Zhao Yu, to advance into the land of Huaiyin!

A total of sixty thousand troops were stationed outside Guangling Commandery!

At this moment, in Xuzhou City, at the Mi family

"Big brother, this time Tao Gongzu is going to play for real!" Mi Fang said with slight worry at this moment, "I wonder what the outcome for Lin Ziyuan will be!"

This time Tao Qian mobilized sixty thousand troops, and even had his confidant Cao Bao lead a full twenty thousand Danyang troops!

The Danyang troops are Tao Qian's trump card, fierce in battle, and are absolutely the elite of the army!

"Don't be anxious, Tao Gongzu doesn't necessarily have to attack Guangling Commandery!"

Compared to Mi Fang's recklessness, Especially Mi Zhu was even more calm!

It seems that this time Tao Gongzu mobilized sixty thousand troops to attack Guangling Commandery!

But whether they will fight or not is an unknown!

Zhang Chao had thirty thousand troops under his command!

In Lin Yang's hands, they were all wiped out in one battle!

Lin Yang now has over fifty thousand armored troops under his command; for Tao Gongzu to want to take him down with a mere sixty thousand people is simply impossible!

People like Cao Bao, although they are Tao Qian's confidants!

But their martial arts are mediocre, and their command of troops is average!

They can still deal with Huang Jin bandits!

Dealing with military generals like Zhao Zilong and Dian Elai!

In Especially Mi Zhu's view, they are not enough to look at!

Therefore, Especially Mi Zhu guessed that this battle might not necessarily be fought!

On the other side, in the Chen family mansion

"This Tao Gongzu, even in his old age, is still playing these kinds of tricks!"

Chen Gui looked at the troop movement arrangements of Cao Bao, Zhao Yu, and others, and probably guessed Tao Gongzu's thoughts!

One path stations troops in Quyang, one path stations troops in Huaiyin!

Advancing, they can take Guangling; retreating, they can defend Xiapi!

This old guy didn't prepare to take action at all!

Sixty thousand troops arranged like this!

This is fear of Lin Yang!

As a representative of the local noble families of Xuzhou, Chen Gui is very clear about Tao Qian's suppression methods!

Years ago, during the campaign against the Yellow Turbans, Tao Qian reused people from local noble families and used heavy profits to recruit Zang Ba and others of the Taishan troops!

But later, after Tao Qian sat firmly in the position of Xuzhou Provincial Governor!

He directly sent Zang Ba and others to Kaiyang to guard the gateway of Xuzhou!

And they, these local noble families of Xuzhou, were also suppressed!

In every commandery of Xuzhou, Tao Qian inserted his own Danyang confidants!

It seems!

This troop mobilization this time is because Lin Yang wiped out Zhang Chao, and Tao Qian wants to remind the other party!

"What a pity, Tao Gongzu is going to miscalculate this time!"

Chen Gui shook his head, looking down on Tao Qian's tricks!

These kinds of little tricks might be useful against people like them from noble families!

But they are useless against Lin Yang!

Don't forget!

Besides being the Guangling Commandery Governor, Lin Yang also holds the position of Xuzhou Inspector enfeoffed by the Son of Heaven!

This person is not of the Zang Ba type!

It is impossible to let the other party guard the gateway of Yangzhou!

Almost at the moment when Especially Mi Zhu and Chen Gui were analyzing, a fast horse flew through Xuzhou City, bringing the latest battle report!
