Chapter 199

Looking at the over four hundred million reputation points he had left, Lin Yang did not hesitate and directly exchanged for one million boxes of A4 paper!

Lin Yang couldn't use this thing now!

But it would be of great use in the future!

Putting the items into his storage space, Lin Yang also let out a long sigh of relief!

Now that he had taken Huaiyincheng, the next goal was to settle Tao Qian of Xuzhou!

Once he occupied Xuzhou!

Lin Yang would have to consider many things!

This A4 paper would only be truly useful by then!

"My lord, urgent military report!"

Just then, a soldier's report came from outside!

"Hmm?"

Frowning slightly, Lin Yang directly let the other party walk in!

When he heard the information reported by the other party, Lin Yang was stunned!

"Someone, notify Zhongde and the others to come for a meeting!"

Looking at the bamboo slip information in his hand, Lin Yang's expression was solemn, and his brows were tightly furrowed!

Half an hour later, in the main hall of the County Magistrate's office

"My lord!"

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, and the others who arrived bowed and said!

Summoning them urgently at night must mean something big had happened!

"Zhongde, Fengxiao, you two look at this first!"

Handing over the intelligence bamboo slip he had obtained, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia took it and quickly checked it!

When they saw the content, both of them raised their brows and looked at each other!

The content of the intelligence was very simple!

It was reported by the scouts Lin Yang had sent out before!

The troops in the two commanderies of Peng Cheng and Xiapi had all withdrawn!

Plus Zang Ba of the Taishan Army withdrawing to Langya Commandery!

This meant!

The entire two commanderies of Xuzhou no longer had any resistance!

"My lord, I didn't expect Tao Gongzu to have such courage; he truly cannot be underestimated!"

Cheng Yu handed the bamboo slip to Zhao Yun and the others behind him and said with a slightly surprised exclamation!

In his view, this Tao Qian was but a person who guarded the city!

To be able to act like a gecko shedding its tail to survive in the face of such a dangerous situation, and directly and decisively abandon two commanderies of Xuzhou!

Such courage and decisiveness were not something ordinary people could do!

"Hmm, Zhongde's words are reasonable!" Nodding, Lin Yang's gaze looked over again, "I want to know now, what about the great army next?"

If it weren't for the matter of these two commanderies, Lin Yang would definitely have led his troops straight to Xuzhou!

After all!

As long as he took Xuzhou, he could settle the world in one battle!

Now it was different!

The defenses of Xiapi and Peng Cheng commanderies were lax!

And there were Yuan Shu and Cao Mengde watching from the side!

Once Lin Yang's war in Xuzhou was delayed!

These two commanderies would likely be occupied by Yuan Shu and Cao Mengde!

"Sigh, Sun Wentai, can't you be more persistent!"

Asking, Lin Yang also complained about Sun Jian in his heart!

Originally, he didn't need to worry about Yuan Gonglu!

As a result!

Sun Jian was not persistent and was defeated by Yuan Gonglu!

Now Sun Jian had withdrawn his troops!

Lin Yang did not know if Yuan Gonglu, having lost Sun Jian's distraction, would raise troops to take the opportunity to take Xiapi Commandery!

And as for Peng Cheng Commandery, it bordered Yanzhou!

Cao Mengde, a hero!

He also did not know if he would take Peng Cheng Commandery, which had no troops to defend it!

"My lord, it seems that someone under Tao Qian is secretly helping you!"

While Lin Yang was still frowning, Guo Jia laughed!

Voluntarily withdrawing from the two commanderies of Xiapi and Peng Cheng!

Directly giving them to Lin Yang!

This was a great move!

"Fengxiao, are you saying that someone suggested this to Tao Qian?"

Originally his heart was a mess, but at this moment, seeing Guo Jia's calm demeanor, Lin Yang felt relieved!

Pondering for a while, Lin Yang thought of Especially Mi Zhu under Tao Qian!

But immediately, Lin Yang shook his head!

Especially Mi Zhu was skilled in business!

But he was not proficient in such power schemes!

Then besides Especially Mi Zhu, what else was in Xuzhou!

Wait, Xuzhou, the Chen family!

In an instant, Lin Yang thought of someone!

During this period, he had also received a letter from Gu Yong of Guangling Commandery!

Saying that the famous Xuzhou scholar Chen Deng had defected!

In this way!

Lin Yang roughly guessed who had suggested it to Tao Qian!

Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui!

Historically, these two father and son joined forces to play Lu Bu around!

If Chen Gui made a move!

Everything before him should be his handiwork!

"What a pity, my lord. Although this person's strategy is good, he does not know your ambition!"

Guo Jia nodded with a light laugh, and then said with a slightly regretful tone!

This kind of strategy!

Was to let Lin Yang swallow half of Xuzhou first!

Then use the strength of the three commanderies to recruit troops and horses, expand strength, and slowly eat away at Xuzhou!

"If there are no accidents, the person who planned this should be a steady and prudent person!"

This kind of eating-away strategy, in Guo Jia's view, should be something a steady and prudent person would think of!

The pity is!

What Lin Yang wanted was not to eat away at Xuzhou!

During this period, ever since defecting to Lin Yang, Guo Jia had also talked a lot with Lin Yang!

He knew the ambition in Lin Yang's heart!

First destroy Xuzhou, then swallow Yangzhou!

Now Tao Qian of Xuzhou was exhausted, and the situation in Yangzhou was chaotic!

It was just the time to take it in one fell swoop!

Time waits for no one!

Listening to Guo Jia's analysis, everyone in the hall understood the current situation!
