Chapter 897
Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed when he heard the words, secretly thinking that the two had other plans in support of their second brother.

Zhao Guangyi concentrated Xuzhou's troops to attack Qingzhou. With the strength of Qingzhou, he might not be Zhao Guangyi's opponent, but he would not be defeated.The ideal situation is that Qingzhou can't hold on and asks Jizhou for help.

In this way, the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou were attracted by Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Kuangyin could send troops from Mount Tai to attack the rear of Qingzhou. The rear of Qingzhou was empty of defense, and Qingzhou would surely be able to go down.In this way, Zhao Kuangyin can not only win Qingzhou, but also enhance his prestige and curb Zhao Guangyi's strength, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

It's just that now is not the best time to secretly raid Qingzhou. The palace is full of confidants, so it's okay to talk about it, but Zhao Kuangyin dare not give the order to prepare.Jin Yiwei is pervasive, and the current arrangement may leak news, so Zhao Kuangyin has to wait until the frontline battle is deadlocked to prepare to send troops.

At that time, even if Jin Yiwei finds out, Qingzhou can't do anything about the stalemate in the war.

Zhao Guangyi, on the other hand, was complacent and took Shi Wansui, Li Jilong, Wang Yanbo, Hu Yanzan, Xia Luqi, Yu Jin and other generals to Xuzhou.

A few days later, Zhao Guangyi arrived in Xuzhou and ordered Cao Bao, his confidant in charge of Xuzhou's soldiers and horses, to reorganize the troops and horses and prepare for the expedition.

Because Xuzhou borders Qingzhou in the south, the East China Sea in the east, and Yan and Henan in the west.There are no enemies on these three sides, and Qingzhou in the north is the target to be attacked. Therefore, Zhao Guangyi sent [-] troops from Xuzhou to prepare to attack Qingzhou northward.

Xuzhou in the south was full of vigor and vigor, so naturally it could not be hidden from Qingzhou in the north. When Lin Renzhao got the news, he summoned all the generals to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, Yang Zaixing had led [-] troops to Qingzhou to meet up and strengthen Qingzhou's defense.Lin Renzhao was the chief general, with Yang Zaixing, Tai Shici, Lin Chong, Tang Bin and other generals under his command, as well as Xu Shu and other resourceful men.

In terms of generals and schools, there are not many left behind in Qingzhou, but with the arrival of Yang Zaixing, together with Tai Shici, Qingzhou has two top generals, and with Xu Shu's advice, it can be said that they are both literary and military, enough to deal with the enemy of a state.

Chen Qingzhi took the letter sent back from the detailed work in his hand and said to everyone: "As expected by General Chen, Zhao Kuangyin sent troops to attack Qingzhou. Now Zhao Guangyi has [-] troops in Xuzhou and is preparing to go north. I'm afraid our army will be caught in a fierce battle. .”

"Zhao Guangyi? This man is far inferior to Zhao Kuangyin, and Xuzhou soldiers and horses have not experienced any battles, nor are they talented generals. Although there are many soldiers and horses, they are not to be feared." Tai Shici said contemptuously.

As the deputy commander of Qingzhou, Lin Renzhao knew Xuzhou's strength quite well, and nodded in agreement after hearing Tai Shici's words.However, as a good general, Lin Renzhao would not underestimate the enemy, and he would take every aspect into account in any layout.

In response to the saying of later generations, despise the enemy strategically and respect the enemy tactically.That is, I can look down on you, but in a fight, I will give you enough respect, and I will do my best when a lion fights a rabbit.

Xu Shu murmured: "Things are not that simple. According to my understanding, after Zhao Kuangyin was defeated and returned to Yanzhou, Zhao Guangyi took advantage of Zhao Kuangyin's defeat and wanted to buy people's hearts. He vaguely has a tendency to fight against Zhao Kuangyin. According to reason, it should be Zhao Kuangyin this time. I personally sent troops to take the opportunity to strengthen my prestige, but now it is Zhao Guangyi who sent troops, Zhao Kuangyin let Zhao Guangyi do this, he must have a plan."

Lin Chong pondered: "Could it be because Zhao Kuangyin couldn't suppress Zhao Guangyi?"

"Impossible. Zhao Kuangyin lacks prestige, but Yu Wei is still there. Even if Zhao Guangyi is strong enough to fight against Zhao Kuangyin, he will not dare to turn against each other easily. Besides, the relationship between the two of them is very important for future success. Zhao Kuangyin will send troops in person no matter what, but In such a situation, Zhao Kuangyin must have other schemes." Xu Shu said firmly.

After listening to Xu Shu's words, Lin Renzhao stroked his beard and said, "The military advisor's analysis is quite thorough, but I don't know what conspiracy the military advisor thinks Zhao Kuangyin will have?"

Xu Shu walked up to the map and pondered, "Look, generals, you can attack Qingzhou from Xuzhou, but you can also attack Qingzhou from Yanzhou. According to my estimation, Zhao Kuangyin deliberately delegated power and asked Zhao Guangyi to attack Qingzhou from Xuzhou, and wait until the front line is deadlocked." , he sent troops from Mount Tai to raid the rear of our Qingzhou. In this way, he can reap the benefits of a fisherman, not only capture Qingzhou, but also enhance his own prestige. Compared with Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Kuangyin is more sophisticated."

Lin Renzhao suddenly realized: "The military master really awakened the dreamer with one word. If the military master hadn't reminded me, I would have almost taken all the soldiers and horses to the front line, so my Qingzhou would be in danger. Well then, this time I will lead the troops to face Zhao Guangyi. General and General Lin Chong command [-] troops, how about guarding the area around Mount Tai?"

Xu Shu said with a smile: "the general doesn't need to send troops to garrison Mount Tai now. In this way, Zhao Kuangyin will definitely think of other ways to attack Qingzhou. The general only needs to leave [-] troops in Ju County and send people to observe Zhao Kuangyin's movements. You can deal with Zhao Kuangyin by surprise, and it will be easier to defend Qingzhou."

Lin Renzhao nodded and said: "What the military adviser said is right, so I dispatched [-] young men from the city to pretend to be soldiers to go out together. General Taishi and General Lin Chong led [-] troops in the city and closed the gates. The wind leaked out. At the same time, send people to pay close attention to Zhao Kuangyin's movements, and lead troops to garrison if there is any situation."

Tai Shici and Lin Chong cupped their hands and said: "General, don't worry, we will definitely not let Zhao Kuangyin's troops step into Qingzhou half a step."

"You only have [-] soldiers and horses. Zhao Kuangyin has hundreds of thousands of elite Yellow Turbans. He has lost a lot in these years, but Yanzhou still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that can be used. If you lose, you need to ask Jizhou for help as soon as possible. You must not main idea."

"No!" The two clasped their hands together.

Afterwards, Lin Renzhao ordered the city to be closed, and he was only allowed to enter but not to leave. He called on the young and strong in the city, and when he got [-] young and strong, he asked them to wear soldiers' clothes and go out together with the elite soldiers who needed them.

As the seat of Qingzhou, Ju County has a strict order of only entering and not exiting, but fortunately, the people's support is not much of a hindrance.

But Qingzhou right now is not stable.

Since the spring of the beginning of the year, locust plagues have broken out, and the people in Qingzhou have very little harvest, especially the three counties of Jinan, Le'an, and Qi in the west of Qingzhou.

The unification of Qingzhou took place successively. In 191 AD, when Liu Bian sent Lin Renzhao and others to go to Qingzhou, they first stabilized Beihai, Donglai and other places.At that time, they were not strong enough to recover the western counties, and Yuan Shao was powerful at that time, and he attacked Qingzhou many times, and fought many times with the three counties as the battlefield.

Knowing Yuan Shao's demise, these three counties were a little more stable. After several years of governance, the people just got a stable life, but natural disasters broke out, and the harvest was very little. It is conceivable that their lives are difficult.

Right now, the big man is no better than the later generations. Floods and locust disasters can cause devastating blows to the people. Even in later generations, there are medicines against locusts, and there are also phenomena of grain failure. As for flood disasters, it is not uncommon for later generations, let alone a big man with such backward technological development. era.

In a village in Qi State.

A man dressed as a sorcerer stood in front of a group of people, holding a handful of talisman paper in his hand, and all the people held bowls in their hands. The sorcerer said loudly: "My fellow villagers, after drinking my talisman water, all diseases will be cured. I asked the leader for a hundred talismans, only a hundred people can get them, hurry up and get them."

A group of people were so excited, as if they were crazy, they rushed forward with their bowls in their hands, scrambling to snatch it.

These methods are the same as those of the Yellow Turban thieves back then.

The sorcerer looked at the crazy people in front of him, and said with a sneer in his heart: "I, the Yellow Turban, have been dormant for many years. Now that Qingzhou is in trouble, it is time for my Yellow Turban to rise again."

In a hidden mountain in the state of Qi, there is a camp where the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are located.

Everyone in the hall wore yellow scarves on their heads. Inside the hall, there was a man named Hong Xiuquan, who was the lord of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.But right now, it is also the remnants of the Yellow Turban.

Hong Xiuquan was good at deceiving people's hearts. Seeing the locust plague broke out in Qingzhou and the people's lives were difficult, he used Zhang Jiao's tricks again.The common people are ignorant and living a difficult life, so they naturally listen and believe, and are fooled again by the Yellow Turban.

"Now that Qingzhou is full of soldiers and horses, and the interior is chaotic, it's time for me, Hong Xiuquan, to go out of the mountain. A great virtuous and good teacher, I, Hong Xiuquan, will definitely be able to do what you failed to do back then. Pass down the order, and the soldiers and horses in the village will go out of the mountain. The people arranged by the village will incite the people to rebel together." Hong Xiuquan said to the soldiers below.

Following Hong Xiuquan's order, for a while, the three counties of Qi, Jinan, and Le'an were in chaos, and the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses engulfed the people and rose again.No one was stationed in the various cities, and the Yellow Turban soldiers quickly occupied several large cities in the three counties.

Linzi of the State of Qi is the seat of the State of Qi. Because it is the seat of the State of Qi, there are many soldiers guarding it.The government soldiers are different from the regular combat soldiers and horses, they are only responsible for maintaining the law and order of the city.

However, Linzi, as the capital of the ancient Qi State, is very large in scale. In addition, it is opposite to Mount Tai in Yanzhou, and there are 2000 soldiers in the city.

The Yellow Turban Army of the Qi State rose up wantonly, coercing tens of thousands of people and nearly [-] soldiers and horses for a while, preparing to attack Linzi, the governing place of the Qi State.

In Linzi City, a scribe stood at the head of the city, constantly commanding the soldiers and horses in the city to defend the city.This man knew a lot about sergeants, so he blocked the yellow turban soldiers for a while.

Commanding the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses is a young general named Li Xiucheng, who is a commoner of Qi State.The mother was seriously ill but recovered by drinking the talisman water given by the magician, so she was bewitched by the Yellow Turban and joined the Yellow Turban.Because of his high martial arts skills, Hong Xiuquan soon gained the respect of Hong Xiuquan and commanded thousands of soldiers.

The scribe on the top of the city was named Du Ruhui, he was a talent who entered the world not long ago, and he passed the examination to serve as the governor of Qi State.

Du Ruhui looked at the crazy Yellow Turban soldiers and horses below the city, and couldn't help frowning: "I expected the Yellow Turbans to come back, but it's a pity that when I wrote to the governor, the soldiers and horses were already ready to go.

Although I have made preparations, I am short of manpower, and there are no soldiers in Qingzhou. Who can stop the current Yellow Turban chaos?I'm afraid I have to send someone to Jizhou for help.What's more, Linzi is the gateway of Qi State, Zhao Kuangyin intends to raid Qingzhou, Qingzhou Yellow Turban must be wiped out as soon as possible, otherwise it will be so chaotic, how can Zhao Kuangyin be located?
