Han Dao world

Chapter 600
Chen Lin turned pale with shock.

It is common knowledge that killing prisoners is ominous.

Although Zhang He and Gao Lan are not learned men, they are not greedy, cruel and easy to kill warriors either.Especially Zhang Yun, who loves Confucianism and learns, and behaves like a Confucian in everything. How could he do such a thing as killing prisoners?
Chen Lin didn't dare to be careless, and asked for details carefully.

Chen Deng has led the army for many years, and he also has hundreds of guard cavalry under his command, so he knows the key points of infantry and cavalry confrontation.When he felt the earthquake caused by the galloping cavalry and saw thousands of cavalry rushing out, he knew that the defeat was over.

The infantry in the marching state had no armor, no bow, and no formation, so they couldn't stop the cavalry's assault at all.

He immediately raised the flag and expressed his willingness to surrender, but the opponent did not stop attacking.

Thousands of cavalry clashed and slaughtered until all his subordinates were killed.He was furious, and wanted to ask Zhang Yun for an explanation, but was surrounded by several Xianbei people and tied him up directly.

After Chen Deng finished speaking, he still couldn't hide his anger, his eyes were bloodshot. "How is this different from leading beasts to eat people?"

After Chen Lin listened, she didn't dare to answer Chen Deng's topic.

He was willing to believe that what Chen Deng said was true, but the problem was that it was difficult to be sure.When the two armies were fighting, Zhang He and Gao Lan went deep into the enemy's territory, so they must be decisive and not procrastinate.Most of the cavalry under their command are Xianbei and Wuhuan people, and it is possible to disobey orders on the battlefield.In other words, this may not be the order of Zhang Xi and Gao Lan, but it may be the spontaneous behavior of those wild knights.

On the battlefield, such things are very common, and it is far-fetched to say that it is an order from someone.

Especially if it is possible to point to Yuan Shao himself, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble.

Chen Lin thought about it carefully, and persuaded: "Yuanlong, the dead are gone, and those who come can be chased. The most urgent thing is that you want to live. Only if you are alive, will it be possible to find out the truth in the future."

As soon as Chen Deng heard it, he knew that Chen Lin didn't believe what he said.He paused for a moment and let out a wry laugh.

"Even if I am willing to drag myself out, so what can I do? My forearm is broken, I can't be a general, I can only be a counselor, a puppet of Yuan Benchu, abandoned by both men and gods. Although the Xiapi Chen family is not a wealthy family, they are Loyalty is passed on to the family. I cannot shame the family. Kong Zhang can’t give me the answer, so I’ll look for it under the Nine Springs.”

"Under the Nine Springs?" Chen Lin was at a loss.

Chen Deng's eyes narrowed slightly. "I'm going to ask Master Wang, who ordered the killing of more than [-] Yuan family members, and even the child refused to let go." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and never said a word to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin's face was pale, and she quietly exited the tent without daring to ask any more questions.

Standing outside the tent, he looked around, and a chill rose behind his back.

Chen Deng refused to bow down to Yuan Shao.Yuan Shao refused to let Chen Deng go, and repeated the mistakes of Zang Hong and Liu He, so he had no choice but to kill Chen Deng.In this case, the Xiapi Chen family will inevitably break with Yuan Shao.

Will Yuan Shao kill the Chen family in Xiapi?
Killing Xuzhou will inevitably arouse the resistance of Xuzhou people. Yuan Shao's wish to take Xuzhou quickly will inevitably come to nothing.

If you don't kill them, once the Xiapi Chen family decides to surrender to the court, it will affect the morale of the entire Xuzhou people.

A single Wang Lang is already a headache, but the influence of the Chen family in Xiapi is by no means comparable to that of Wang Lang, and should be compared with the Liu family in Donghai.

Chen Lin had a headache and didn't know how to repay Yuan Shao.

After much deliberation, he decided to report the truth to Yuan Shao.There may be a deeper struggle of interests behind this incident. As a native of Xuzhou, he cannot remain indifferent.

-

After listening to Chen Lin's narration, Yuan Shao's eyebrows immediately frowned.

He thought of Tian Feng almost immediately.

Only Tian Feng had such influence and motivation to instruct Zhang Xi and Gao Lan to make such a choice.

But like Chen Lin, he couldn't find any evidence to prove this unless Zhang Xi and Gao Lan appeared to testify.

This is obviously impossible.

Zhang He and Gao Lan didn't have the courage to do so, and they wouldn't do it, otherwise they would be enemies of all Jizhou people.

Obviously, Tian Feng did this not for his own sake, but to ensure the absolute control of the Jizhou people over the army, just like what Shenpei did in Yanzhou.

Jizhou people gave him strong support and gradually tied his hands and feet.If Yuan Xi married the Guo family and became an heir in the future, the consequences would be even more serious.

He will become a puppet in the hands of Jizhou people.

Yuan Shao was anxious and angry, but he couldn't find a solution.

"Kong Zhang, since Yuan Long refuses to surrender, I can only..." Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, but couldn't say the last few words.

"My lord, Lin has a plan."

"Say it."

"Wang Lang was the prefect of Kuaiji, and was defeated by Sun Ce. He was so poor that he could not return. Sun Ce wanted to make Wang Lang a minister, but Wang Lang refused, and Sun Ce didn't kill him. He was only placed under house arrest in Kuaiji for several years, so that he could not communicate with the outside world."

Yuan Shao's eyes flickered, he stared at Chen Lin twice, weighed it again and again, and nodded.

Although it made him uncomfortable for Chen Lin to compare him with Sun Ce, this method was feasible.

Not to kill, not to let go, is the best choice at present.

When all Xuzhou is taken in the future, Chen Deng's anger will also disappear, and there may be a possibility of changing his mind.At that time, it is also a good choice to reappoint Chen Deng as the representative of Xuzhou to compete with the forces of Jizhou.

It is rare to see a high school student like Chen Deng who is capable of both literature and martial arts in the Central Plains.

Yuan Shao accepted Chen Lin's suggestion and asked Chen Lin to persuade Chen Deng.If Chen Deng wanted to die, there was nothing he could do.

Under Chen Lin's persuasion, Chen Deng also stepped back and started eating.

Yuan Shao heaved a sigh of relief, and called civil and military officials to discuss the plan for the examination and assignment.

Tian Feng objected.

Pengcheng has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and the city is strong and deep.Now Liu Bei is determined to stick to it again, and the possibility of forced landing has disappeared.Once the siege begins, it will inevitably take a long time, ranging from a few months to years.

Siege warfare requires a lot of manpower and material resources.Yanzhou has suffered wars in recent years, and the people's livelihood has been ruined. It cannot bear such a heavy responsibility, so it must transport some money and food from Jizhou to supplement it.Long-distance transportation consumes too much, which is definitely not the best policy.

What's more, Jizhou is facing the threat of Shangdang and Taiyuan, and Xun You may go south at any time, so he has to keep a certain amount of money and grain reserves.

Therefore, taking Xuzhou and supplying the besieging army with Xuzhou's money and food is the most reasonable choice.

Liu Bei was able to defend Pengcheng, but Mifang could not defend Tanxian County.After conquering Tanxian County, send a branch northward to attack Zang Ba and take Langya into his pocket. Qingzhou's money and food can also enter Xuzhou. Isn't this more cost-effective than transporting from Jizhou?
Tian Feng said a lot, but in the final analysis, there is only one meaning.

Jizhou can't afford all the consumption, so Xuzhou's money and food should be expropriated on the spot for military use.

His opinion naturally won the support of most of the generals.

Yuan Shao also accepted Tian Feng's opinion, and immediately replied to the review, asking him to build siege equipment and prepare for the siege while keeping Liu Bei at bay.After he takes Tan County, he will quickly return to the division and besiege Pengcheng together.

The reviewer received a reply and strongly opposed Tian Feng's opinion.He sent someone to see Yuan Shao again.

Most of Liu Bei's subordinates are newly recruited soldiers, and now they are attacking vigorously, and the possibility of winning is very high.If the fighter plane is delayed and Liu Bei has enough time to train new soldiers, it will be difficult to attack Pengcheng again.

Yuan Shao felt that what the two said was reasonable, so he hesitated.

Taking advantage of the advantage of being close to the water, Tian Feng repeatedly tried to persuade him.Yuan Shao pushed halfway and led his troops to surround Tan County.
