Chapter 164

Being able to give them a mouthful of soup was already pretty good!

At this moment, many people looked at the meat soup in their hands with ugly expressions!

If it weren't for what happened during the day!

This group of people would definitely be grateful for this meat soup!

But after seeing the food in Lin Yang's army, and then looking at this, they felt it was a world of difference!

Especially those who had stolen beef and mutton soup, this meat soup without even a drop of oil was no different from water!

For a time, many people felt indignant in their hearts, but they didn't speak anymore and sat back down!

And Lin Yang on the other side didn't know that one of Cheng Yu's little tricks had such an effect!

In the camp at this moment, Cheng Yu and Lin Yang were conducting their final discussion!

"My lord, Cao Bao is preparing his great army; he will probably come to challenge us tomorrow!"

Now that their great army had pressed against the city, once Cao Bao's army was fully prepared, they would inevitably come out to decide the outcome!

Of course, this was the best situation for them!

If Cao Bao held the city and the army didn't come out!

Lin Yang would have big trouble trying to capture Huaiyin!

And!

Lin Yang had sent out troops this time under the name of the Inspector of Xuzhou, overseeing the province!

A title that Dong Zhuo had once wanted to use to frame Lin Yang, which gave Lin Yang a reasonable reason to send out troops!

But relying on this reason to actively attack Tao Qian was a bit insufficient!

Tao Qian governed Xuzhou and not only pacified the Yellow Turban rebellion in Xuzhou!

But also suppressed the roving bandits in all directions within the territory!

Allowing the common people to live and work in peace in the chaotic world, having a paradise to live in!

It could be said!

Tao Qian still had a status in the hearts of the people of Xuzhou!

At the very least, he was a competent Provincial Governor!

To rashly attack Tao Qian without a reasonable excuse!

Would put himself in an unrighteous position!

In this early stage of the chaotic world, reputation was still quite important!

Sending out troops requires a justifiable reason!

If the name is not right, the words will not be smooth!

This was also the reason why Yuan Benchu didn't attack the perfectly good Qingzhou, but attacked Bingzhou!

Of course, there were some exceptions!

For example, the rats of Jiangdong, crossing the river in white clothes!

Or the Alliance of Weishui, killing the emperor in the street!

When it really gets to that point, righteousness is just a fart!

"Mm, let's have a good meeting with this Cao Bao tomorrow!"

Nodding, Lin Yang was also quite curious about Cao Bao!

In the novel, this guy was just someone stabbed to death by Zhang Fei with a spear!

Now!

Here, he was a great general under Tao Qian, a commander leading sixty thousand troops!

"Fortunately, that Liu Daer didn't arrive at this time!"

Sighing inwardly, dealing with a Cao Bao was undoubtedly much easier!

Much better than dealing with Liu Daer!

The only thing to pay attention to under Cao Bao!

Was the twenty thousand Danyang elites, as well as the five thousand cavalry!

The next day, at noon

"Boom... boom... boom..."

As the Huaiyin city gates opened wide, Cao Bao led his thirty thousand soldiers out of the city, set up a battle formation, and slowly marched toward Lin Yang's camp!

Behind him, Zhao Yu led twenty thousand troops as the rear guard, following Cao Bao!

Looking at the fifty thousand troops attacking in perfect order, Lin Yang, who was in front of the camp, also had a solemn expression!

"Set off!"

He gave the order to the great army, and in the next moment, figures walked out of the camp!

The vanguard was the four thousand Threaded-Steel Army led by Dian Wei, as well as six thousand soldiers!

The center army was Lin Yang and Cheng Yu personally leading twenty thousand soldiers, serving as the command center!

The rear guard was Zhao Zilong's heavy-armored Iron Pagoda, temporarily in the camp, waiting for an opportunity to act!

On both sides, Taishi Ci led one thousand cavalry and nine thousand soldiers to provide cover on the flanks of the center army, guarding against the opponent's cavalry attacks!

Forty thousand troops marched majestically, stepping onto the Huaibei Plain before them!

A long moment later, the two armies confronted each other on the plain!

With the dense army formation, Lin Yang, who was in the center army, felt the pressure of ancient warfare for the first time!

Nearly one hundred thousand troops from both sides gathered here; the pressure from the numbers alone was enough to make one suffocate!

"Lin Ziyuan, you thief, come out!"

In front of the two armies, soldiers under Cao Bao rode out and began to curse at Lin Yang's side!

"The Provincial Governor of Xuzhou has treated you well, yet you have the heart of a wolf and have raised an army to rebel!"

Such words made Lin Yang, who was sitting in the center army, frown slightly!

"Send someone to behead this person!"

In front of the two armies, twisting black and white, this made Lin Yang very unhappy!

They understood these things!

But for the soldiers under his command, and the ordinary people!

They wouldn't understand these things!

Once this hat was put on him, how would Lin Yang rule Xuzhou in the future!

"You thief, my lord has worked hard for Provincial Governor Tao to guard the territory, yet he sent you all to attack; what is your intention!"

Following Lin Yang's order, Taishi Ci, who had been maneuvering on the flanks, rode out directly!

Quickly rushing to the front of the formation, he shouted loudly at the opponent!

In the battle between two armies, momentum is the most important thing!

This attack must pin the blame on Tao Qian!

Only then would the morale of his own soldiers soar!

"Who is the general coming, how dare you talk nonsense here!"

A lieutenant under Cao Bao, looking at Taishi Ci in front of him, shouted loudly!

Under Lin Yang, the white-armored silver-speared Zhao Zilong, and Dian Elai, were both long-famous martial generals!

As long as it wasn't these two!

As a lieutenant, what was there to fear!

"Thief, remember the name Taishi Ziyi!"

Being looked down upon by the opponent, Taishi Ci didn't waste words with him; whipping his horse, his figure quickly rushed toward the opponent!

"Haha, watch me behead you, Taishi Ziyi, today!"

Taishi Ziyi?

Never heard of him, must be a small general under Lin Yang!

As a dignified lieutenant, what was there to fear!

"Giddyup!"

Whipping his horse, the lieutenant also raised his spear and aimed it from afar at the rushing Taishi Ziyi!

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, the lieutenant's long spear thrust out fiercely!
