Chapter 156

~6 min read 1,119 words

Countless people watching this scene could not help but be curious!

What choice did Lin Yang of Guangling Commandery make!

Two days ago, Guangling Commandery, Commandery Governor's mansion

"My lord, this Tao Qian has mobilized sixty thousand troops and is coming aggressively!"

Gu Yong, Wang Can, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, and others gathered again, seeing that Tao Qian had really mobilized thirty thousand troops from Xiapi and Peng Cheng commanderies and joined forces to come, everyone was full of fighting spirit!

Especially military generals like Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci!

The battlefield is where they build their merits!

"Zhongde, what do you think Tao Qian's move is for?"

Glancing at the directions of Quyang and Huaiyin, Lin Yang, sitting in the head seat, looked at Cheng Yu below!

This Tao Qian did not take action when he and Zhang Chao were fighting!

Now, however, the army is pressing on the border!

This made him a bit unable to understand!

"My lord, Xuzhou is a place of four battles; besides needing to face Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, Guangling Commandery is located in the south of Xuzhou and needs to deal with Yangzhou!"

Pointing to Xuzhou on the map, and finally landing on the position of Guangling Commandery!

Guangling Commandery is located in the south of Xuzhou and connects with Yangzhou!

It can be said that Guangling Commandery is the gateway to the south of Xuzhou!

Once Yangzhou has movements, the first to be attacked will be Guangling Commandery!

"Tao Qian uses Zang Ba to station in Kaiyang to guard the gateway to Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and uses his confidant Zhao Yu to command troops in Xiapi and Peng Cheng to guard the gateway to Yuzhou!"

Pointing to the direction of Langya Commandery, Kaiyang is located exactly in the center of Qingzhou and Yanzhou!

Whether it is Qingzhou or Yanzhou moving troops!

The Taishan troops of Zang Ba in Kaiyang can quickly respond to the enemy!

And the direction of Yuzhou is the responsibility of Zhao Yu to resist!

"So, Tao Qian wants me to help him guard the gateway to Yangzhou?!"

Furrowing his brows, Tao Qian's move is undoubtedly making him act as a watchdog!

Just like the Taishan troops of Zang Ba!

In this way!

If he stays in the middle position, he can be safe and worry-free!

"My lord, from the current point of view, it should be so!"

"Only, Tao Gongzu's only miscalculation is that the lord defeated Zhang Chao, and the troops under your command not only did not suffer heavy losses, but the military focus is even stronger!"

Cheng Yu nodded and stated his analysis in full!

In his view!

Tao Qian didn't take action before, probably because he didn't care at all who won between Lin Yang and Zhang Chao!

No matter who won, they would guard the gateway to the south of Xuzhou!

Even!

Because the person who won had stronger strength, the gateway to the south of Xuzhou would be even more solid!

"Hehe, what a Tao Gongzu!"

Coldly laughing in his mouth, he is worthy of being a Provincial Governor; from the overall situation, he is already far ahead of others!

If someone else had occupied Guangling Commandery, they probably wouldn't have been able to resist!

After all!

Being able to defeat Zhang Chao's thirty thousand troops, normally speaking, would at least be a mutual destruction!

Without time, they wouldn't be able to recover their vitality!

Tao Qian could sit back and reap the benefits!

"Nowadays, the lord's military focus has made Tao Qian feel threatened, and this is to beat the lord!"

Gu Yong off to the side understood Tao Qian's art of balance very well!

Also being a noble family from Jiangdong, Gu Yong still understood Tao Qian!

Xuzhou, which is in a place of four battles, must have some great generals under its command!

Just like Zang Ba in Kaiyang, even though his relationship with Tao Qian is not good, Tao Qian still lets the other party go!

Next is Lin Yang's side!

They were fighting to the death with Zhang Chao, yet Tao Qian still didn't pay attention!

"Beat? Thirty thousand of Zang Ba? Can I only have thirty thousand too!"

It sounds nice, but it's just that he's afraid that his troops are too many and will threaten him, Tao Gongzu!

This art of balance, if it were in peaceful times, would be fine!

What a pity!

This is a chaotic world!

This kind of art of balance will cost lives!

If Lin Yang remembers correctly!

According to the original history!

Tao Qian offended Boss Cao!

Boss Cao directly led his army to attack!

At that time, Zang Ba and his Taishan troops didn't move at all!

Commanding a province, yet the troops of the province don't belong to his command!

It's simply a joke!

"My lord, now that Cao Bao and others are stationed and not moving, Tao Gongzu is probably waiting for the lord's choice!" Cheng Yu glanced at Lin Yang and spoke slowly!

Tao Qian's troops have already stationed on the border of Guangling Commandery!

But they are not attacking!

This is Tao Qian waiting for Lin Yang's choice!

Whether to choose to submit to him, Tao Qian, like Zang Ba's Taishan troops!

Or to start a war!

"Hmm, hmm!"

Lin Yang, sitting above, nodded, and then looked at Wang Can and Gu Yong below!

Having been with Cheng Yu for a long time!

Lin Yang roughly understood Cheng Yu's thoughts!

However!

He also wanted to hear the suggestions of different people!

"Zhongxuan, Yuantan, what do you think?"

Lin Yang spoke slowly, and Wang Can and Gu Yong below both felt Lin Yang's importance!

This matter concerns the future direction of the entire Guangling Commandery!

Even the future situation of Xuzhou will be affected!

"My lord, I think the lord can hide and not act, first prevaricate with Tao Gongzu, and secretly accumulate strength!"

Gu Yong bowed and said, stating his own views!

Attacking Xuzhou must be done!

But it is not the time to attack now!

Nowadays, the soldiers of Guangling Commandery are only forty-five thousand in number!

Even though five thousand new soldiers were just recruited, the training was too short, and they can only be used to defend the city and cannot go out to conquer!

Compared to Tao Qian, who has one hundred thousand troops!

Lin Yang's power is too weak!

And Guangling Commandery has a large population and sufficient food supplies!

Only one year is needed for Lin Yang to accumulate food and secretly train soldiers!

He can absolutely have eighty thousand armored troops!

At that time, the chances of winning against Tao Qian will be much greater!
