Tao Qian summoned all his trusted subordinates to his sickbed, had a detailed discussion, and finally decided to make a comeback. The method was very simple, that is, to throw the main army on the north bank of the Huai River to prevent the Baiyun City army from landing. At the same time, all the remaining troops of the entire Xuzhou were sent to the east coast of Xuzhou to block the possible attack of Baiyun City from this direction with absolute numerical superiority.
This method is not risky, because this makes Xuzhou's defense completely become an eggshell, as long as the eggshell on the outside is broken, there is no resistance inside. But Tao Qian's decision was quite helpless, if he couldn't even defend the periphery and let Baiyun City attack it, then Xuzhou would really be over.
In Tao Qian's opinion, the danger of his own arrangement is not very high, first of all, his biggest enemy now is Baiyun City. And the offensive direction of Baiyun City can only be south and east, as long as you hold these two directions, the back will be much simpler. As for the other surrounding forces, Yuzhou Mu Yuan Shu was beaten by Cao Cao at this time, and to the north were Yuan Shao and Yan Huangcheng, these two forces were on the edge of conflict at the moment, and the two sides could break out at any time, how could they be out of trouble with themselves?
In the east and south directions, the focus of Tao Qian's defense was on the south side, and as for the east side, it was just a matter of seeking no merit but no fault. Tao Qian also knew that when it came to the difficulty of defense, the east was definitely much more difficult than the south, and the White Jade City fleet was extremely mobile at sea, and you couldn't figure out when the other party would attack from where. The south side is different, no matter which point Baiyun City wants to attack. There must be signs of army mobilization first, and then the Xuzhou army will be able to make corresponding adjustments.
For the time being, the overall strength of the Xuzhou army is still stronger than the four main legions of Baiyun City, and the reason why Tao Qian did not dare to carry out a counteroffensive was because he was worried that Yang Tianhou would transfer all the other legions. Tao Qian estimated that if he could slam the opponent when the opponent attacked, he might be able to narrow the gap between the two sides, and then he might be able to play a defensive counterattack and take Guangling County back from Baiyun City again.
……
Tao Qian's idea is very good, and the deployment is also very good. But just as he was waiting for Baiyun City to cross the river and fight, another piece of bad news came to his ears. Yanhuang City in the north didn't know what kind of wind to smoke. Unexpectedly, the whole army was dispatched and attacked Xuzhou.
Tao Qian's army went to intercept the army of Yanhuangcheng in Chapter 10. The strength of the army of Yanhuangcheng is not weak, if there are fewer troops mobilized, it is estimated that it will not have much effect, but if too many troops are mobilized, then the two lines of defense in the east and south will be dangerous.
At this time, Mi Zhu, another of Tao Qian's henchmen, said: "Lord, why don't you go down and see the sunshine, and then the two sides will make peace!" The subordinate brother has had several relationships with the sunshine, although it is only a business dealing, but he should still be able to say a few words. I wonder what the lord thinks? ”
Tao Qian's heart was full of blood and qi, and he coughed a few times before he said: "This sunshine has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and he has been planning for Xuzhou for a long time, so how can he agree to peace talks lightly?" Zizhong, I really regret that I didn't listen to your advice at the beginning, and turned to Chen Bing Guangling, which annoyed the sunshine and ended up in the current situation where the enemy is on all sides. I'm afraid this incident will also affect your family's business, right? ”
Mi Zhu shook his head and said: "The lord is too careful, most of the subordinate family businesses are taken care of by Mi Fang, and the sunshine is also responsible for the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, and both sides are in business." After the hostility between the autonomous duke and the sun, except for the weapons and food, nothing else was affected in the slightest. ”
Tao Qian sighed and didn't say anything more, in fact, Tao Qian also knew that most of the weapons and grain obtained by the Mi family from the trade in the territory of Baiyun City entered Xuzhou to enhance the strength of Xuzhou. It can even be said that Xuzhou's current strength has a great relationship with the support of the Mi family. Now that Xuzhou and Baiyun City are at loggerheads, it is natural that the other party has stopped trading weapons and grain.
After a while, Tao Qian asked, "Zizhong, are there any other countermeasures?" ”
Mi Zhu thought for a while and said calmly: "Maybe we can turn to Qingzhou Tian Kai for help." ”
"Tian Kai?" Tao Qian frowned slightly, and said: "Although Tian Kai now holds the title of Qingzhou Thorn History, it was sealed by Gongsun Zhan, and since Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao lost the confrontation, Tian Kai has cowered in Donglai County and did not dare to come out. If it weren't for the fact that there was a Beihai County across the middle, I am afraid that Tian Kai would have let Yuan Shao be destroyed long ago. And now, although Tian Kai actually controls Donglai County, he is only an aboriginal force, and he doesn't even have any influence on Yiren, and he is greatly restricted by Yanhuang City. How much can such strength help us? ”
Mi Zhu said: "The lord's words are wrong, it is precisely because Tian Kai is now restrained by Yanhuang City that we are more likely to bring Tian Kai over." We don't need Tian Kai to be strong, we just need to help us. This time, in order to attack us, Yanhuangcheng is also the whole army, and the defense of Beihai County is bound to be empty, although Tian Kai is slightly worse than Yanhuangcheng in terms of strength, but there is no problem in attacking Beihai County, which has a loose defense.
