Chapter 220

Now Lin Yang already occupied Xuzhou!

And his army was fully prepared!

Once he rounded up Zang Ba's thirty thousand soldiers, Lin Yang would have an army of one hundred thousand, with fifty thousand armored soldiers!

With such a powerful army, relying on the richness of Xuzhou, Lin Yang could let go and vie for the world!

"Yuantan's words are wrong; although Yangzhou is rich, it is a remote place and not the best choice!"

Before Gu Yong finished speaking, Chen Deng, sitting below, stood up and bowed!

Although Yangzhou was rich, it was not the best choice!

Xuzhou was a place of four battles!

If one wanted to vie for the world, taking Yangzhou was a strategy for stability!

"Oh? Then what insight does Yuanlong have?"

With more strategists under his command, Lin Yang looked at Chen Deng, Chen Yuanlong!

Although Gu Yong was one of the Four Ministers of Eastern Wu, he was good at internal affairs, not strategy!

"If my lord wants to vie for the world, he must take Qingzhou!"

Chen Deng pointed at the map; on the map of the thirteen provinces of the Han, the position of Qingzhou was just above Xuzhou!

"Now that warlords are rising together, in the north, there are two major warlords, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao!"

"Now Gongsun Zan occupies Youzhou, and Yuan Shao occupies the two provinces of Bingzhou and Jizhou!"

Chen Deng spoke, stating the current situation of the world!

"If my lord does not take this Qingzhou, it is very likely to fall into the hands of Yuan Shao!"

He pointed to Jizhou, where Yuan Shao was; the latter had won in the struggle with Gongsun Zan and occupied the entire Bingzhou!

He was also the only hero among the warlords of the world who occupied two provinces!

"When that time comes, Yuan Shao, relying on the strength of the three provinces of Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, once he defeats Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, what will my lord use to resist?"

Chen Deng's words were like a heavy hammer smashing down!

Yuan Shao already occupied two provinces!

Letting him have another Qingzhou was undoubtedly helping the enemy!

Once Yuan Shao occupied Qingzhou, relying on the four provinces to recuperate and then dealing with Gongsun Zan, the four northern provinces would all fall into his hands!

How could other warlords fight!

Even if Lin Yang occupied the two provinces of Xuzhou and Yangzhou!

He would not be Yuan Shao's match!

After listening to Chen Deng's analysis, Gu Yong was silent!

Indeed!

According to Chen Deng, once Yuan Shao occupied the four provinces, no warlord in the world could stop him!

Guo Jia, sitting in front, looked at Chen Deng; he didn't expect Chen Gui's son to have such insight!

"My lord, I also agree with what Chen Yuanlong said!"

Guo Jia stood up and bowed!

Lin Yang, sitting in the upper seat, looked at Guo Jia's smiling face and shook his head!

At this time, why was Guo Jia joining in the fun!

Lin Yang couldn't help but look at Cheng Yu below!

"My lord, I think whether to go south or north needs to be discussed after seeing Zang Ba!"

Feeling Lin Yang's gaze, Cheng Yu also bowed at this moment!

He naturally knew Lin Yang's plan!

Occupy Xuzhou first!

Then swallow Yangzhou!

With the strength of two provinces, attack Yuzhou and Jingzhou!

In this way, the four southern provinces of the thirteen provinces of the world would all fall into Lin Yang's hands!

With this!

He could confront Yuan Shao of Hebei!

However, what Chen Deng said was also not unreasonable!

There were thirteen provinces in the world, and now Qingzhou was experiencing Yellow Turban unrest, which was a great opportunity to capture it!

If my lord occupied Qingzhou and Xuzhou, he could also go south to capture Yangzhou!

"Hmm, since that's the case, let's wait until we see Zang Ba before discussing!"

Nodding to Cheng Yu, Lin Yang also made the decision to handle Zang Ba of Langya Commandery first, and then discuss the next march strategy!

"Fengxiao, Zhongde, Baggage train, you three stay!"

Saying this to Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Mi Zhu, the three who were about to leave stopped their steps!

After a long while, in the Governor's Mansion

"Fengxiao, Zhongde, tell me, why do you think I should go north?"

Looking at the two, Lin Yang asked directly!

Lin Yang's own march strategy was to occupy Yangzhou first, and then plot Yuzhou and Jingzhou!

This!

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu both knew!

But now, these two top strategists both thought he should go north!

This made Lin Yang doubt himself!

Did he make a mistake?

"My lord, Chen Yuanlong's words are not wrong; Yangzhou is a remote place!"

Having arrived for a short time, Guo Jia also spoke at this moment!

He actually quite agreed with Chen Deng's view!

Yuan Shao, although he had a false reputation!

But if he had the Four Generations and Three Excellencies, plus four provinces!

It would be very tricky for Lin Yang to deal with him!

Qingzhou was a great opportunity now; occupying Qingzhou would cut off Yuan Shao's retreat!

Relying on two provinces, even if Yuan Shao could win against Gongsun Zan, it would take a long time!

"Hmm, Zhongde, what about you?"

Lin Yang had long known the result of the struggle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan!

A mere Gongsun Zan could not stop Yuan Shao!

"My lord, I think we should go south; what I said before was just to pacify the hearts of the local noble families of Xuzhou!"

Cheng Yu was very frank; he had followed Lin Yang the longest, not only knowing Lin Yang's thoughts but also seeing more!

Others might think there was a problem with Lin Yang going south to Yangzhou!

But Cheng Yu felt that going south to Yangzhou was very correct, without any problems!

"Oh?"

Cheng Yu actually agreed to go to Yangzhou first, which surprised Guo Jia!

Even if Zang Ba surrendered, Lin Yang's soldiers would only be around one hundred and thirty thousand!

Such an army!

Once they attacked Yangzhou, they would have no strength to attack Qingzhou!

After all!

Beside Xuzhou, there were Cao Mengde of Yanzhou and Yuan Gonglu of Yuzhou!

These two were both warlords with more than one hundred thousand troops!

The garrison force in Xuzhou must not be small!

... Please flowers...

"Fengxiao arrived late, there are some things he doesn't know yet!" Cheng Yu said lightly to Guo Jia, and then didn't explain, instead selling a mystery!

For a moment, watching his two strategists disagree, Lin Yang also took a deep breath!

"Let's put this matter aside for now, let's discuss it after Zang Ba's matter is over!"
