Chapter 348

Jingzhou, Master Water Mirror's courtyard

"What Yuanzhi said is indeed reasonable!"

The crowd present, listening to Xu Shu's analysis, all nodded!

What Xu Yuanzhi said was indeed reasonable!

If Lin Yang held the city firmly and strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, then Cao Mengde, Yuan Gonglu, and others would gain nothing and could only retreat!

"It's just, Yuanzhi, how do you know whether this Lin Ziyuan is holding Xuzhou or choosing to retreat to Yangzhou!"

One of them laughed at this moment and raised another possibility!

Lin Yang's command did not just have the land of Xuzhou!

He also occupied the four commanderies of Yangzhou!

Compared to Xuzhou, which was a land of four battles, the four commanderies of Yangzhou had the natural barrier of the Yangtze River!

It could be said to be extremely steady!

Lin Yang retreating from Wu Jun Commandery was not impossible!

"No, he will definitely choose to hold Xuzhou!"

Xu Shu's eyes flashed with brilliance. He also understood some of what Lin Yang had done in Xuzhou over the years!

How could such a person who loved the people abandon the commoners of Xuzhou!

And run to Yangzhou alone!

And!

Lin Yang growing from a county magistrate to this step was enough to show the other party's ambition!

"Haha, then let's see if what Yuanzhi said is correct!"

The crowd laughed, but didn't continue to argue about anything!

Who won and who lost, they just needed to wait!

And in Jingzhou, Xinye County

"My lord, this Lin Ziyuan is being besieged by Cao Mengde, Yuan Gonglu, and others. I'm afraid he is not far from defeat!"

Beside Liu Bei, Jian Yong spoke up at this moment!

Naturally, they were happy to see Lin Yang's defeat!

In the battle of Xuzhou that year, they were defeated by Lin Yang and fled!

They fled south all the way before they came to Jingzhou and had a place to settle!

Originally, Liu Bei was prepared to defect to Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu, Yuan Gonglu, and these people!

But in the end, because of some reasons, he didn't succeed in defecting!

Instead, he was planning for the future in this Xinye land!

"Lin Ziyuan is a hero of his generation. Even if he is defeated, he still has the four commanderies of Yangzhou!"
