Chapter 239

Yuan Benchu didn't listen to him!

Otherwise!

Qingzhou would have been taken long ago, and there wouldn't be this situation!

"Heh, I think you are overthinking. The lord has led an army of eighty thousand here, determined to take Qingzhou. How would a mere Lin Ziyuan dare to stop us!"

Tian Feng spoke, and Shen Pei stood up to refute him!

In his view!

Lin Ziyuan, that's all!

A county magistrate by origin!

Although he had become the master of Xuzhou, he had no more than one hundred thousand troops!

How could the troops he could bring out compete with their army of eighty thousand!

"Hmph, Lin Ziyuan may not have brought many troops, but if he allies with Gongsun Bogui, what should we do then?"

With a cold shout, and being at odds with Shen Pei, Tian Feng's tone became even more displeased!

Lin Yang wouldn't bring many troops!

But daring to come meant he wasn't stupid!

Cheng Zhongde under Lin Yang was a "Poisonous Strategist"!

Guo Fengxiao was also a man of great talent!

It was this person who proposed that Yuan Benchu abandon Bingzhou and attack Qingzhou!

In Tian Feng's view, such a genius would absolutely not make a mistake!

The other party had a high probability of having secretly contacted Gongsun Bogui!

"Once Gongsun Bogui allies with him and attacks Jizhou from the lord's rear, what should we do?"

Tian Feng's words directly left Shen Pei and Guo Tu speechless!

This army expedition!

Was intended to take Qingzhou in one fell swoop!

Unexpectedly!

They were blocked here by Cao Mengde!

If Lin Yang and Gongsun Bogui allied!

Then they would only have the option of retreating!

"Enough!"

Hearing that Lin Yang might have allied with Gongsun Bogui, Yuan Benchu's already displeased face became even angrier!

A character who was insignificant during the Suanzao Alliance!

Now actually allied with his enemy and threatened him!

"My lord, I propose that you retreat!"

Tian Feng bowed and proposed the suggestion of retreating to Yuan Benchu!

Now the army was here!

They couldn't advance, and they couldn't attack!

Besides wasting grain in vain, it was of no use!

"Retreat? Do you know how much this expedition to Qingzhou has cost the lord?"

Guo Tu and Shen Pei disagreed with retreating at this time!

······Begging for flowers······

Are you kidding!

Yuan Benchu needed the people of Qingzhou to make up for the population shortage in Bingzhou!

Retreat from Qingzhou!

Without the replenishment of the Qingzhou people, how could they quickly resolve Gongsun Zan in the north!

"If we don't retreat, what can we do here?"

Tian Feng did not retreat an inch and glared at the two again!

Seeing his strategists like this, Yuan Benchu felt a bit of regret!

"Had I known, I should have taken Qingzhou together back then!"

With words of regret and remorse, Tian Feng felt a pain in his heart!

If Yuan Benchu had listened to Guo Jia's suggestion back then!

And taken Qingzhou first!

Then not only would there have been no obstruction!

But he could have obtained the replenishment of nearly four million people in Qingzhou!

Occupying Qingzhou and Jizhou, with millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops, who could stop him!

At that time, Lin Yang was still in Guangling Commandery and couldn't stop him!

At that time, Cao Mengde was still in Dong Commandery, with only twenty or thirty thousand troops, how could he stop him!

What a pity!

One wrong step, and every step is wrong!

Now Cao Mengde and Lin Ziyuan had both risen!

How could this land of Qingzhou be so easily occupied!

Tian Feng shook his head; at this moment, he hoped Yuan Benchu would make a rational choice!

Retreat!

He must retreat!

Gongsun Zan of Youzhou must have allied with Lin Ziyuan!

For a moment, before Lin Yang's army even arrived, the entire Cao and Yuan armies were caught in a passive position!

Xuzhou, Langya Commandery, Zhuxu County.

"My lord, why did you have to come personally for this campaign against Qingzhou!"

Guo Jia, following Lin Yang, looked at the Qingzhou border and spoke up!

...... 0

"Haha, Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu are both my old friends, how can I not see them!"

Thinking of the Suanzao Alliance, when he could only camp in the corner of the coalition, and now he was leading an army of fifty thousand to compete with Yuan Benchu and the others for Qingzhou!

How things have changed!

"By the way, I heard that when Fengxiao was under Yuan Benchu, you once suggested that he abandon Bingzhou and take Qingzhou first?"

As if thinking of something, Lin Yang looked at Guo Jia and asked!

Mentioning the past, Guo Jia smiled bitterly!

"The lord knows about this? I suppose Zhongde told you!"

Nodding, Guo Jia admitted it frankly!

At that time!

Qingzhou had no master, and Yuan Gonglu was out of reach!

The population was large, and no major warlord occupied it!

And there was no million-strong Yellow Turban incident in Qingzhou. If Yuan Benchu had occupied Qingzhou, his strength would have soared!

By then!

With the troops of Qingzhou, he would have inevitably won the struggle for Bingzhou against Gongsun Zan!

What a pity!

My last plan!

Yuan Benchu didn't adopt it!

He insisted on leading the army to attack the barren Bingzhou!

This gave Lin Yang and Cao Mengde a chance to rise!

"Haha, this Yuan Benchu is truly a man of empty noble reputation!"

Hearing that Guo Jia had once offered such a plan to Yuan Benchu, Lin Yang had to sigh that Yuan Benchu had plenty of talent around him!

He didn't listen to the suggestions of Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou! ===== CHAPTER 240 =====
