Chapter 349

Liu Bei hoped that Lin Yang would be defeated!

But under the current pattern, Lin Yang possessed the four commanderies of Yangzhou, which was naturally invincible!

If he couldn't beat them!

Lin Yang could retreat to Yangzhou!

It's just that Liu Bei didn't know now whether Lin Yang would retreat to Yangzhou!

Sili, in Chang'an City

"Master, the warlords of the world are attacking Xuzhou together. I'm afraid this Lin Yang will be destroyed!"

In a remote courtyard, Jia Xu was silently reading books. Hearing the words of the old servant beside him, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head!

"How could this Lin Ziyuan be so easily destroyed!"

Jia Xu didn't say anything. In his view, Lin Yang wouldn't have much danger at all!

Occupying the two provinces of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, this Lin Yang was as steady as Mount Tai!

Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu, Yuan Gonglu, and these people, who seemed united, actually had their own thoughts!

They only needed to be defeated one by one to dissolve this offensive!

The strategists under Lin Yang should be able to think of it!

"Alright, go out. Don't disturb my reading!"

Jia Xu said, and then withdrew his mind!

Compared to Lin Yang, what Jia Xu needed to think about was his own future!

The two thieves, Li Jue and Guo Si, couldn't make a climate!

This Sili land was made into a mess by them!

If he stayed here, he would sooner or later have the danger of destruction!

He needed to plan his retreat early!

Just when the warlords of the world were all looking at this, on the other side, in Xuzhou City, Lin Yang slapped the table and decided to compete with Cao Mengde and the others!

Xuzhou City, in the Provincial Governor's Mansion

"My lord, to defeat them one by one, there are two choices left for us!"

Guo Jia's eyes shone with brilliance at this moment, his gaze swept across the map, and he pointed to the direction of Xiapi!

"The first type is to clear the grain and grass of the three commanderies of Xiapi, Peng Cheng, and Donghai, and strengthen the walls and clear the fields!"

It was already the time of the autumn harvest. Cao Mengde, Yuan Gonglu, and others arrived at this time for the grain and grass in Xuzhou!

Large-scale planting of the rice provided by Lin Yang!

The rice production of the three commanderies of Xiapi, Peng Cheng, and Donghai in Xuzhou alone could support the people of two provinces!

Once this grain and grass were seized, the problem of Cao Mengde, Yuan Gonglu, and others lacking grain would be solved!

Therefore, the first method was to burn all this grain and grass!

The commoners of these three commanderies would all migrate to the city, retreat to the city, and let Yuan Gonglu, Cao Mengde, and others gain nothing!

"Now strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, our loss is a bit too big, right!"

Mi Zhu, who was in charge of money and grain, spoke up!

The grain and grass of the three commanderies of Xuzhou were all burned like this; this was a huge loss!

"Even if it is lost, it cannot be left to Cao Mengde and the others!"

Cheng Yu and Zhou Yu, who were to the side, were very approving of Guo Jia's method!

If this grain and grass were left, that would be the real trouble!

Anyway, the commoners in Xuzhou all had surplus grain in their homes!

The granaries in every city were full!

Losing the grain and grass of the three commanderies would not shake Xuzhou at all!

"In this way, the lord only needs to hold the city firmly. In less than three months, Cao Mengde and Yuan Gonglu will retreat!" Guo Jia finished speaking and looked at Lin Yang!

Now that Cao Mengde, Yuan Gonglu, and others had arrived with a large army, strengthening the walls and clearing the fields was undoubtedly the steadiest method!

"What about the direction of Qingzhou? What about Yuan Benchu?"

Strengthening the walls and clearing the fields could deal with Cao Mengde and Yuan Gonglu, but it wouldn't work for Yuan Benchu!

The other party was not short of grain at all!

This time they arrived for the three commanderies of Qingzhou and the wealth of Xuzhou!

"This plan is ineffective against Yuan Benchu. Therefore, the lord needs to send General Hansheng to send troops from Beihai Commandery to stop Yuan Benchu within Qingzhou!"

Yuan Benchu had an army of one hundred thousand, and Huang Zhong also had an army of eighty thousand!

It didn't require Huang Zhong to defeat Yuan Benchu!

It only required Huang Zhong to drag Yuan Benchu's army in Qingzhou!

Hearing that Qingzhou needed Huang Zhong's eighty thousand-strong army to go out, Lin Yang's brows immediately frowned!

The things Lin Yang obtained last time were still in Qingzhou!

"Qingzhou is of great importance. Gongjin, you need to go and sit there!"

Yuan Benchu's strategists Tian Feng and Ju Shou were both top-tier strategists!

Huang Zhong could defend the city!

But in a head-on confrontation, I'm afraid there would be problems!

And!

In Qingzhou, there was Lin Yang's layout, which required a strategic talent to go and sit there personally and advance slowly!

Guo Jia needed to follow him, and Cheng Yu was too vicious!

The only one left was Zhou Yu!

"Hmm?"

Hearing that Qingzhou was of great importance, Zhou Yu, Guo Jia, and others were stunned!

Wasn't the situation in Qingzhou just needing to drag Yuan Benchu?

This was considered the easiest!

Why did Lin Yang attach so much importance to it!

Could it be that Lin Yang had a layout in Qingzhou?

"Yes, I will definitely defeat Yuan Benchu for the lord!"

Zhou Yu bowed and saluted. Having stayed under Lin Yang for a long time, Zhou Yu's mentality had also changed!

If it was said that Zhou Yu surrendered before to save Sun Ce and others in the future!

Then now, what Zhou Yu thought about was making contributions!

A great man born in heaven and earth, a person with such outstanding talent as him, Zhou Gongjin, how could he be willing to be unknown!

Now that he was valued by Lin Yang, he, Zhou Yu, also wanted to show his ambitions!

Give him eighty thousand troops, and he, Zhou Gongjin, would personally defeat Yuan Benchu of the Yuan family!

"My lord, since Gongjin and General Hansheng are sitting in Qingzhou, what we need to consider is Cao Mengde and Yuan Gonglu!"

Although he didn't know what layout Lin Yang had in Qingzhou, what was in front of them now were the two armies of Cao Mengde and Yuan Gonglu!

One route, Cao Mengde, sent troops from Yanzhou, heading straight for Donghai and Peng Cheng commanderies!

One route, Yuan Gonglu, could be considered as dividing into two routes, one route from Pei State Commandery, led by Lu Bu, personally attacking Xiapi Commandery!

One route was the help of Sun Jian, crossing from Lujiang Commandery through Jiujiang Commandery, heading straight for Guangling Commandery!

With two routes of the army attacking, Yuan Gonglu himself led one hundred thousand troops, stationed in Hong County, ready to support both sides at any time!

"My lord, now we should consider what way to choose?"

"Hmm? What's the difference?"

Looking at Guo Jia suspiciously, the latter glanced at Cheng Yu and then stood out!

The plan to resist the various armies was formulated by him and Guo Jia together!

Among them, the person who raised objections here was also him, Cheng Zhongde!

"My lord, Fengxiao believes that Yuan Gonglu and Cao Mengde are both short of grain. We only need to hold Xiapi and Guangling firmly and block the attack of Yuan Gonglu's army!" Cheng Yu said, and then pointed in the direction of Cao Mengde in Yanzhou!

"As for Cao Mengde's direction, we only need to give up the grain and grass in the west of Donghai and Peng Cheng commanderies, which is enough to make Cao Mengde's army have sufficient grain and grass and lead the troops away!"

Three routes of the army, seemingly coming together!

But among the three, there were natural differences!

Yuan Benchu came for the land of Qingzhou!
