Chapter 27: The Three Kingdoms of Rebirth
When Yuan Shao heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Okay, just press Tian Feng's half"
"Lord, wise" There are very few military generals available under Yuan Shao, and the civil officials are headed by Tian Feng, and after the two of them agreed to Yuan Shao's proposal, everyone complimented Yuan Shao together.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao regained his former self-confidence, "Okay, since there are already countermeasures, now Tian Feng can send you an order to Le'an to defend part of Cao Cao's army and the army south of Qi to defend Tao Qian's army to come to Linzi for reinforcements."
"Nuo" Tian Feng took the order and left, and then Yuan Shao instructed Fu Zhi to arrange Linzi's logistics grain and grass and city defense equipment. Then he ordered his subordinates, the general Gao Gan and others, to assist him.
Yuan Shao prepared in the city, Tai Shi Ci camped outside the city, and the 200,000 army led by Wu Anguo rested in the open space thirty miles east of Linzi City, early in the morning of the second day, the 200,000 troops in the open space thirty miles away from Linzi had been assembled, with Wu Anguo's order, the army began to advance again, but two hours the army had arrived outside Linzi City, and Tai Shi Ci had already waited for Liu Qing and others to arrive outside the wide camp.
After Taishi was kind to everyone, he first saluted Wu Anguo, and just nodded lightly to Liu Qing. After everyone greeted each other, Tai Shici led everyone into the camp.
Liu Qing's army commander's tent, as soon as everyone entered, Tai Shi Ci hurriedly paid homage to Liu Qing, Liu Qing picked up Tai Shi Ci and said to everyone: "Everyone, this crusade against Yuan Shao, I am just a young general under General Wu's account, you don't need to be polite when you see me, especially you, Ziyi" Liu Qing said to everyone seriously, and then deliberately pointed Tai Shici's name.
When everyone heard this, they shouted at the same time.
"Okay, now everyone please sit down" After everyone sat down under Liu Qing's words, Liu Qing turned his eyes to Tai Shici and asked: "Ziyi, it has been more than a day since you came to Linzi, Yuan Shao can have any movement or reflection."
"Lord, my subordinates came to Linzi City yesterday, and Yuan Shao in the city didn't make any moves, but this morning, Linzi's defense became tighter."
"Well, in this way, it seems that Yuan Shao can really calm down" Liu Qing said to himself, and then turned his gaze on a middle-aged scribe who was about thirty years old below and said with a smile: "Changchu, what do you think?"
Changchu is Sun Shao's word, Sun Shao is the Gong Cao under Kong Rong's account, although his reputation is not obvious under Kong Rong's account, but according to Liu Qing's understanding, after Kong Rong's demise, he can make a difference, has served Sun Quan, Cao Cao, and under the account of both are hot talents, and is the first prime minister of Eastern Wu, but because of Liu Qing's arrival, he can't become the prime minister, so Liu Qing wants to see what he has the ability to be the prime minister.
Sun Shao was thinking about the situation in front of him, and was suddenly a little surprised when he heard Liu Qing's question, he didn't expect Liu Qing to ask him back, so he said to Liu Qing respectfully: "Lord, this subordinate is dull and doesn't know."
"Hehe, Changchu, you don't have to be modest, I heard that you have the talent of a prime minister, it's impossible not to know."
In the face of Liu Qing's aggressiveness, Sun Shao was finally defeated, who made Liu Qing look at him like that, so he saluted respectfully again and said: "Since the lord asked, the subordinates will talk nonsense, I hope the lord will not laugh."
"Hehe, you're really a literati, why are you talking about it, I'm just letting you talk about it, as for whether to listen to it or not, I haven't decided yet."
Sun Shao's face was a little embarrassed, "Lord, according to the guesses of his subordinates, Yuan Shao must have a strategy to defend our army, otherwise he would not be so calm."
"Well, so, go ahead"
"Lord, our army's 200,000 troops are in Linzi City, and Yuan Shao's army is only a hundred thousand or nearly 200,000, and our army is a pure force, but Yuan Shao's 200,000 army has to divide a lot to defend other princes and other territories, so there must not be so many troops to defend our army, but he is still so calm, there can only be one reason, that is, he has a backup move, or reinforcements."
"Later moves, Yuan Shao is impossible" Liu Qing thought, he was very clear about the ability of blood, "reinforcements" muttered these two words Liu Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration, laughed and said: "Changchu is really a talent, in my opinion, Yuan Shao must have reinforcements."
"Reinforcements, my lord, this is impossible, now the world is in chaos, and the princes wish that there was one less prince in the world, how could they send troops to help him. Unless he helps himself, but he has only so many troops, and there are reinforcements from there."
The man who spoke was a short, loyal middle-aged literati, this person was Wang Zhong under Kong Rong's account, Wang Zhong was loyal and down-to-earth, after defecting to Liu Qing from Kong Rong's hands, this crusade against Yuan Shao was named by Liu Qing, and the purpose was to die so that he could accumulate a little credit in this battle and carry him to him in the future.
"Hehe, Wang Zhong, how is it impossible, let me ask you a question first?"
"My lord, please ask"
"Hehe, let me ask you, what kind of conditions are needed to attack the city?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhong said without thinking: "Of course, it is a huge force advantage, the siege force needs to be more than double the strength of the defending city, otherwise, it is impossible to break through a city under the condition that the combat strength of the two sides is equal...... Could it be that the lord is saying......"
"Haha, yes, you finally understand, what I mean is that Yuan Shao will definitely mobilize soldiers from other parts of his territory, so that their army defending the city is not much different from our army, and they will definitely be able to hold our army's offensive when the time comes."
"Hehe, what the lord said is true, since we already know Yuan Shao's calculations, there is no way to do it."
Liu Qing listened to Sun Shao's words, and a smile appeared on his face, since Yuan Shao has the courage to transfer troops, then I won't hide it, "monkey".
"The subordinates are here" Hearing Liu Qing's shout, the monkey standing on the side immediately stood up and said.
"Quickly pass on my order, order Jizhou to send an army of 200,000 from the Yellow River, with Huang Zhong as the commander and Guo Jia as the military advisor, extradition from Gan Ning across the river, and attack Yuan Shao's Linji from Linji Port in Jinan State"
The "Nuo" monkey was overjoyed when he heard this, which already showed that Liu Qing was no longer hiding the master of Donglai and Beibeihai
Liu Qing looked at the people with happy and puzzled faces and said again: "Everyone, this time we must eliminate Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, and after eliminating Yuan Shao, I, Liu Qing, have already occupied half of the Han world, I think who is still my opponent in this world" Liu Qing's loud and heroic words set off his thin figure very tall.
"Lord, since you are not hiding it, is the handsome flag of our army battalion replaced with your name," Tai Shici proposed.
"Ziyi, this is not the time now, if it is exposed too early, then it will lead to the attack of the whole world, and then I think Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Tao Qian and others will not watch me grow, so now we have to wait, wait for our army to break through Linji from Linji Port, let Yuan Shao mess up, and then we will show our identity and occupy the entire Qingzhou in one fell swoop, even if Cao Cao and other princes know that the general trend has been decided, it will be too late."
After listening to Liu Qing's words, everyone finally understood.
"Lord, whether to attack the city today"
"Hehe, attack, of course I want to attack, I want to see if the Shan Jing who assassinated me Liu Qing that day and Yuan Shao, who designed my Liu Qing, are good, now Ziyi, you will immediately gather 100,000 troops to set up a formation for me outside Linzi City, call the formation."
"No" Tai Shi Ci took the order and left.
