The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 536 Unite all forces that can be united
Xiabo County.

After taking down Xiabo County, Lin Chao did not rush to attack Xindu County, the seat of Xindu County, but stopped, and even got into Xiabo County's government office and refused to come out, living a tense and exciting otaku Life.

Well, to use what Lin Chao told everyone, it is that you first cultivate kindness and virtue, so that the people of Xiabo will turn to Xuzhou.

Hearing these words, Guo Jia, Xun You and others were dumbfounded.

Brother, we are now in the hinterland of Jizhou, and we are fighting deep behind the enemy lines. If we don't take down Xindu quickly, we won't be surrounded and killed here until the defenders of the surrounding counties react.

Lin Zichu, don't make trouble!
Lin Chao's brain circuit is indeed difficult to understand, but this does not prevent Lin Chao from insisting that they carry out the order, not much to say.

Helpless, Guo Jia and Xun You had no choice but to obey, and let Zhang Liao lead the army to appease the people.

However, as an otaku, Lin Chao was not idle either. After two days lying in the county office, he found Guo Jia and Cui Jun, and took them to work hard in the city... wandering, eating and drinking, and became a street runner.

Seven or eight days later, when Guo Jia was about to question Lin Chao, two pieces of news came from the school affairs office.

A piece of news came from the north: Gongsun Zan led his troops out of Guangyang and Zhuojun, sent troops to Boling all the way, and launched a fierce attack on Anguo County, which was governed by Boling, and Lunu County, which was governed by Zhongshan. The army of the county.That is, Zhongshan, Changshan, Boling, and even nearly half of the left-behind troops in Hejian County came to support.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao first took control of Jizhou, so he took most of his troops to Yanzhou, preparing to fight Xuzhou.As a result, the defenses of Boling, Zhongshan and other counties were empty, and they were in danger under Gongsun Zan's attack. It was only a matter of time before they were breached.

As soon as Guo Jia received the news, Guo Jia was extremely excited, and immediately sensed the opportunity of the war, so he took Xun You to the county government office, trying to persuade Lin Chao to take the opportunity to send troops to the south and capture Xindu County.

As for the second piece of news...of course it was Jushou's miraculous performance in Lu County. With only less than 20 troops under his command, not only did he contain Yuan Shao's [-] troops, but also a wave of night raids robbed the camp, causing Yuan Shao to be in chaos. , a small defeat.

The last wave of alternative versions of the empty city plan made Guo Jia call him an expert.

He never expected that Ju Shou, who has always looked indifferent, would dare to play so big.

"Ju Gong's conspiracy with him is really unfathomable!"

Even Xun You expressed such emotion after hearing the news.

In all fairness, if he were placed in Jushou's position, he would not be able to do better than Jushou.

Guo Jia was still full of confidence, and even said with a smile: "Jugong and Zi are talented people, but Gongda doesn't have to be too self-effacing, you and I are not things in the pool, if the world is mediocre, isn't it? It's so boring!"

"What an arrogant Guo Fengxiao, this statement is novel."

Xun You was almost shocked by Guo Jia's words, but after thinking about it carefully, it was exactly the reason, so he pointed at Guo Jia and smiled.

"Let's not mention the matter between Mr. Ju and him, but with such an opportunity right now, we should not delay it. Let's go and ask him about Lin Zichu's high opinion."

Guo Jia took Xun You and walked to the county government office.

After entering the county government office, he found that Lin Chao was not lying on the bed and sleeping soundly as usual, but was playing chess with Cui Jun in the courtyard.

Well, what the two played was backgammon invented by Lin Chao, and at this time Lin Chao was already on the verge of defeat.

Seeing the two people walking in, Lin Chao was overjoyed, and then he stood up and laughed loudly: "Zhouping, Fengxiao and Gongda came hand in hand, presumably there must be something important, let's go here first today, some other day." Teach you the new hand-talking method."

Cui Jun: ...

Chang Shi, is it really a real man to make an excuse to regret chess?
But who made Lin Chao high and powerful, Cui Jun had no choice but to stand up, bowed his head and cupped his hands at Lin Chao: "Wei!"

After finishing speaking, Cui Jun was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Lin Chao.

"There's nothing left and right, Zhouping might as well stay and listen together."

Lin Chao laughed.

"This..." Cui Jun subconsciously wanted to refuse, "Chang Shi, I have little talent and low status, I'm afraid I can't..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Chao waving his sleeves: "Zhouping doesn't need to be too self-effacing, and if he stays, he can brainstorm. Moreover, the matters to be discussed later are also related to the local gentry. Zhouping You have lived in northern Hebei for a long time, and you are familiar with the customs and customs of this place, so you will definitely be able to help the army in its next move."

When we got to this point, Cui Jun couldn't refuse anymore, so he nodded in response.

Of course, he also understood that Lin Chao had the intention of cultivating himself, and he was grateful in his heart.

In the gazebo in the courtyard, Lin Chao motioned for Guo Jia and Xun You to take their seats, and then ordered his soldiers to serve tea.

Guo Jia handed over two secret reports from the school affairs office in his hand, planning to let Lin Chao see the current situation in Jizhou clearly, and then persuade him to join the army.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chao casually put the two secret reports by his hand, and smiled without reading them: "Why, Gongsun Bogui has started to attack?"

"How did you know, Zichu?"

Guo Jia said in surprise.

It's not surprising that he was in charge of the school affairs office and received the news immediately, but why did Lin Zichu also know about it?

Lin Chao spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, what do you think he has been waiting for for more than ten days?"

Well, sure enough, Lin Zichu would not stop the troops for no reason, because he was waiting for the war to start in the north.

Just as Guo Jia realized it, Lin Chao asked again: "What about Mount Tai, counting the time, Ju Gong and Cao Yuan's army should have been restrained as well."

Now Guo Jia was a little surprised: "Zichu, do you really believe in Ju Gonghe?"

"Otherwise, if someone doesn't believe him, does he believe you?"

Guo Jia was almost choked to death by Lin Chao's words, and immediately retorted: "What's wrong with XX, if you send XX to Mount Tai, let alone contain Cao Yuan, XX can even fight Yuan Shao's 20 army evenly!"

Lin Chao smiled, put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "That's why I didn't send you there."

Guo Jia:  …

Lin Chao ignored Guo Jia, who was full of discontent, but continued: "The time has come, and great things can be expected. Now that the Cao Yuan coalition forces have been restrained, and there is Gongsun Zan in northern Hebei, it's time for us to act. What's your opinion? ?”

Xun You said: "Since my uncle plans to encircle Yecheng with four armies and seek Jizhou, then we have to go all the way south, win the trust of the capital, pass Julu, and finally arrive at Yecheng. Now the hinterland of Jizhou is empty. Although we only have one Thousands of soldiers and horses are enough to support this battle."

"That's right, what Gongda said is right."

Guo Jia also echoed that this is indeed the only feasible path right now.

But Lin Chao was thinking about time besides the marching route, so he asked, "Gongda thinks, if we fight all the way, how long will it take to reach Yecheng?"

"This……"

Xun You didn't answer immediately, but immediately took out the marching map that he carried with him, spread it out, looked at it for a while, and then replied: "Uncle, according to my nephew, I can arrive in Yecheng within two months."

"No, it's too slow." Lin Chao shook his head and said.

Guo Jia said: "If we march quickly, avoid critical passes along the way, and attack fiercely regardless of casualties, we may be able to shorten the time to within [-] days."

Strictly speaking, if Guo Jia's method is followed, the speed of marching may be improved a lot, but it also increases many uncertain risks.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chao shook his head: "No, it's still too slow."

This……

Guo Jia and Xun You looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

This is already the fastest speed. After all, there are seven or eight pass cities along the way to Yecheng. If they attack one by one, including the marching schedule, it will take at least forty days!

Seeing that the two were puzzled, Lin Chao explained: "The key to victory or defeat this time is not how long we can reach Yecheng, but how long we can last on Mount Tai. If it takes a long time, Mount Tai will not be able to continue Containing Cao and Yuan's coalition forces, and when Yuan Shao reacted, the plan fell short.

Therefore, we must hurry to the news of the fall of the rear to reach Yuan Shao's ears, and stop Yuan Shao at the junction of Yanzhou and Jizhou before Yuan Shao returns to Fangye City.Then several armies marched out, trapping Yuan Shao and his party members to death in the isolated city, thus taking down Jizhou and Yanzhou in one fell swoop! "

Looking at the route drawn by Lin Chao on the map, both Xun You and Guo Jia frowned.

They can fully understand the strategy of Lin Chao's big roundabout, but understanding and implementing it are completely two different things.So no matter how hard they thought about it, they couldn't think of how to break through the passes along the way and reach Yecheng in a shorter time.

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Guo Jia said, "Zi Chu, based on what you've seen, how long should it take to reach the city of Ye?"

Lin Chao lightly raised two fingers and said with a smile, "Within twenty days."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Guo Jia almost jumped up in shock, subconsciously shook his head and said loudly: "This place is [-] miles away from Yecheng, even if you march quickly, it will take about [-] days to arrive, not to mention there are several dangerous places along the way. Pass! The [-] days are based on the fact that the resistance along the way is not fierce, and it is impossible to reach Yecheng within [-] days."

"Impossible?"

Lin Chao looked at Guo Jia, with a strange look in his eyes, and asked with a smile.

"Impossible!"

Guo Jia nodded again, affirming his statement.

Lin Chao spread the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "I have heard that Fengxiao likes to gamble, so I don't know if I would dare to bet with a certain one again, just to bet on whether a certain one can reach the city of Ye within twenty days, how about it?"

"Just bet, I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Guo Jia said with a smile, "Why the lottery?"

Lin Chao slapped the folding fan in his hand twice: "So-and-so wins, after you get married, call such-and-such uncle. If you win, so-and-so will give you a folding fan."

Hearing this, Guo Jia almost twisted his nose with anger.

Just wanting to prostitute me for nothing with just a folding fan, you Lin Zichu is a real bitch!
Guo Jia, who was furious, quickly spread out the folding fan in his hand, slapped it twice with force, and said with disdain on his face, "It's a joke!"

I have a fan, and I don't care about yours.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chao gave a 'puh-bah' smile, and said to Xun You: "Gongda, here is a thief who stole a fan. How dare he show off what he stole. It's really ridiculous. I've never seen such a brazen person. "

Hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't hold back immediately, and roared angrily, "Okay, just bet!"

In order to get rid of his notoriety as a fan thief, Guo Jia really went all out.

"a man of his words!"

Lin Chao took the opportunity to cut off Guo Jia's retreat, saying that he could not go back on his word.

"A certain one doesn't bother to break the contract."

Guo Jia said firmly.

Just as the two were facing each other and their swords were on edge, a weak voice came from the side.

Xun You said expressionlessly, "That...uncle and nephew also want to participate."

Lin Chao was overjoyed immediately: "Gongda is very knowledgeable, let us teach him Guo Fengxiao to be a man together."

"No, uncle misunderstood." Xun You quickly leaned closer to Guo Jia, "Please forgive my nephew for being rude, my nephew agrees with Feng Xiao."

"Hahaha..." Now it was Guo Jia's turn to laugh, "Lin Zichu, your own nephew doesn't think highly of you, so it depends on how you end up."

"Humph!"

Seeing that Xun You was so dishonest, Lin Chao's face suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly, "It's fine for Gongda to gamble, but I don't know how many books you have at home. If you lose, you are not allowed to deny it."

Speaking of the word collection of books, Rao's face was as paralyzed as Xun You, and there was a look of heartache on his face.

However, even though Xun Youxuan gritted his teeth, he said with a firm expression, "Uncle, if my nephew wins, I will let my little Kongming learn the art of war and tactics for two years. If the two uncles borrowed books to collect, my nephew would not deny it."

Lin Chao: ...

Xun You, you are really a good nephew of Xun Yu and Xun Chen!
However, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me.

"Okay, it's a deal!" Lin Chao said loudly.

At this point, the second game of selling apprentices officially began.

It was just the conversation between the three of them, Cui Jun's eyelids twitched when he was listening.

Everyone in the world said that Lin Zichu had the style of an ancient gentleman, but now it seems... hehe.

Could it be that I have boarded a thief ship?
Just at this moment, Zhang He came striding from the outside, and saluted Lin Chao, "Supervisor, everything is ready, please give orders!"

Hearing this, Lin Chao said happily, "Okay, Jun Yi has worked hard, and I will take someone to have a look."

"only!"

Zhang He clasped his fists and said.

For some reason, Guo Jia and Xun You suddenly had an ominous premonition when they saw Zhang Yun appearing and heard him say that everything was ready.

A certain person knew that Lin Zichu wouldn't just lie down in the county office, and he was planning something behind his back.

He...is there really a way to reach Ye City within [-] days?

On the other side, Xun You's eyelids also twitched.

A certain collection of books...

There is a saying that you can't let go of children, and you can't let go of wolves.

But Xun You had given up his children twice, but he didn't even see Zhuge Liang's hair.

Just when Lin Chao wanted to go out, Guo Jia grabbed him.

"Zichu, the bet has been made now, and there is no possibility of this person going back on his word. Can you honestly explain what conspiracy is going on, so that this person can understand!"

Lin Chao spread his hands and said: "Fengxiao's words are wrong. I am pleased with the Lin family. I have cultivated and studied family heirlooms for a hundred generations. I also studied under the great Confucian Kang Chenggong. The world says that I have the style of an ancient gentleman, so how could there be anything?" conspiracy!"

Guo Jia:  …

Lin Zichu, as long as you want some face, it's not like you don't want any face at all.

Returning to the style of the ancient gentleman, I bah!
Guo Jia sneered and said, "It's fine if you don't say anything, no matter how much you plot and scheming, it is impossible to reach Yecheng within [-] days."

Next to him, Xun You nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice.

Lin Chao smiled and said, "Feng Xiao, you have always been a loafer and never punished for crimes. You don't read much, so you must have never heard a word."

"What?"

Resisting the urge to beat Lin Chao up, Guo Jia asked.

"The Master said: Unite all forces that can be united."

Guo Jia:? ? ?
Xun You:? ? ?

Cui Jun:? ? ?
Dare I ask Lin Changshi, who is this 'son' you are talking about?

Confucius, the old man, really said this sentence?
