Mission system: The ultimate class begins

Chapter 541

With Yuzhou in your hands, you can go to Sili, Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou and other places on the top, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places on the right, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou and other places on the bottom, and Jingzhou, Yizhou and other places on the left. states etc.

It can be said that the geographical location is excellent, he can control one state and overlook the other 12 states in the world, he really doesn't want to give up.

Cao Cao felt a little headache when he struggled. Anyway, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and now he can only wait for Lin Yang to defeat Yuan Shao before making plans.

Chang'an, inside Wang Yun's mansion.

A servant hurried into Wang Yun's study.

"Master, I have found out the whereabouts of Miss."

Hearing the servant's words, Wang Yun hurriedly stood up from the chair and walked up to meet him.

"Where is Miss?"

Since being forced by Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an a few months ago, he has been separated from Diao Chan.

At that time, he thought that Diao Chan would follow behind with the big troops.

But he had been in Chang'an for a long time, and he didn't see Diao Chan's carriage arriving, so he immediately understood that Diao Chan had separated from the army.

He also knew the news that someone was chasing after Dong Zhuo's army to move the capital, so he hurriedly asked someone to check to see if Diao Chan was rescued by someone.

In the past few months of waiting for the news, he was worried about Diao Chan every day. His daughter was born like a fairy, what would he do if he ran into a bad person.

"It was Lin Yang, governor of Youzhou, who rescued Miss."

Hearing that it was Lin Yang, Wang Yun heaved a sigh of relief.

He has heard of Lin Yang's reputation of loving the people like a son. Diao Chan was rescued by him, at least he would not receive any unfair treatment.

He thought that as long as Lin Yang didn't notice Diao Chan's face, nothing would happen.

But who would have thought that the servant's next sentence lifted his previously let-down heart again.

"I heard that Miss is currently living in a house specially arranged by Lin Yang."

"What did you say?" Wang Yun's eyes widened. Diao Chan has already met Lin Yang? Then it's too late.

It's been a few months, and with Diao Chan's beauty comparable to a fairy, can Lin Yang let it go? Now I'm afraid she's pregnant with a child.

"What a disaster, what a disaster." Wang Yun was a little annoyed for a while, but suddenly his eyes lit up as if he remembered something, and he hurried back to his desk, picked up a pen and wrote a letter.

After finishing writing the letter and putting it in the envelope, Wang Yun walked up to the servant and said.

"You find someone to send this letter to Miss Youzhou. Remember to find a reliable person. Don't let others know about this letter, otherwise we will all be in great trouble."

Seeing Wang Yun's serious expression, the servant nodded heavily.

"I understand, master, don't worry."

After speaking, he took the letter from Wang Yun's hand and walked out.

Looking at the back of the servant leaving, Wang Yun murmured: "Daughter, this world depends on you to save."

Time turned, and half a month later, Lin Yang ordered Guan Yu, Zhang He, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici to lead 10 soldiers and horses to attack Yuan Shao's territory from the four directions of Youzhou and Jizhou.

The accompanying military advisers included Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun You, Chen Gong, and Lin Yang as the military governors, who were responsible for helping to manage the affairs of the army and rectify the work.

What the four of them said was what Lin Yang said. Even the commander-in-chief of the first army must fully respect the opinion of the warlord.

Regarding Lin Yang's decision, the rest of the people have no opinion and think it is more reasonable.

On the contrary, Zhang Fei had a serious opinion. He was so angry that he didn't eat for two days because Lin Yang didn't let him be the commander-in-chief of the first army, but asked him to follow Guan Yu as a lieutenant general.

In fact, compared with the four generals selected by Lin Yang, Zhang Fei's commanding ability is indeed inferior.

Besides, with his bullish temper, maybe some moths will come out.It is better not to use it.

Since none of the princes responded to Yuan Shao's call, even his younger brother Yuan Shu only gave 2 soldiers and horses symbolically to show his help.

With such a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, Yuan Shao chose to abandon some cities on the edge of the territory, and gathered the main force to garrison at those important pass positions.

Only a small number of troops were left, symbolically guarding the city on the edge of the territory, in order to slow down the progress of Lin Yang's troops.

This also caused Lin Yang to take down many of Yuan Shao's cities without much effort at all, and Jianfeng pointed directly at his headquarters, Nanpi City.

But the opponent has set up the main forces at the gates of the main passages. Those gates are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is not so easy to attack them in a short while.

Especially the troops of Guan Yu and Tai Shici. The two troops were the closest to Nanpi, and they sent troops from Youzhou together.

Yuan Shao occupied Yanmen Pass one step ahead and kept the two of them outside the border of Jizhou. As long as Yanmen Pass is broken, Nanpi City will be the next step.

Yanmen Pass has always been known as the most majestic pass in the world. Since ancient times, countless powerful alien races have been excluded from Yanmen Pass and are not allowed to enter the land of the Central Plains.

Therefore, it is not easy to capture Yanmen Pass. The two combined 20 troops and were blocked by Yuan Shao's 5 defenders for half a month without making any progress.

Although the attack of Lin Yang's troops was thwarted, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Yuan Shao couldn't last long.

Although the guarding troops of Yanmen Pass withstood Guan Yu's attack for half a month, the strength of the defending troops was decreasing sharply, and the strength of the city walls was also close to collapse. Even if Yuan Shao sent more troops, I believe it would not last long.

What's more, Yuan Shao didn't dare to send troops to reinforce Yanmen Pass at all. Guan Yu's attack on his side was frustrated, but Zhao Yun's side didn't.

Cooperating with Zhang He, Zhao Yun attacked Yuan Shao's territory from Changshan and Zhaojun in Jizhou in two directions. Due to the small number of defenders along the way, they had already advanced to Yecheng and Jieqiao Pass.

As long as the two armies work together to break through Yecheng, the next step will be Leling Pass, the gate of Nanpi City.

Leling Pass was inferior to Yanmen Pass in terms of the hardness of the city walls and the danger around it. It was impossible for Leling Pass to stop Zhao Yun and Zhang He like Yanmen Pass.

Once the two soldiers arrived, within ten days they would be able to break through Leling Pass and go straight to Guipi.

As for Pingyuan County before Leling Pass, it is said that after the discussion of Dong was over, Liu Bei took Pingyuan County down, and his status was changed from Pingyuan County Magistrate to Pingyuan County Sheriff.

Originally, he planned to develop well based on this place, but Lin Yang actually said that he wanted to attack Yuan Shao. In order to avoid the consequences, he had no choice but to abandon this homeland and leave for Yuzhou.

Therefore, there is no one in the current plain to stop Zhao Yun and the others, as long as the large troops just drive in.

Feeling that Yuan Shao's time is running out, many civil servants and generals under him wrote to Lin Yang, expressing their willingness to join him.

Lin Yang did not refuse those who wanted to betray Yuan Shao.

Instead, I sent a letter back to everyone, saying that it is okay to submit, but you have to show sincerity.

And the sincerity that Lin Yang wanted them to show was that when they surrounded Nanpi City, they wanted these people to cooperate with him from inside to outside.

There is also an important condition, that is, if these people surrender to him, they must start from the bottom. It is impossible for him to entrust these people with heavy responsibilities from the very beginning.

Just such a condition directly made more than half of the people who originally wanted to betray Ge Linyang give up their ideas.

Because most of the people under Yuan Shao's subordinates are nobles and descendants, and they all regard themselves as noble, how could they be willing to start from the bottom.

Giving up to seek refuge with Lin Yang, these people naturally would not just sit and wait to die with Yuan Shao, but fled Nanpi overnight and defected to other princes when no one was paying attention.

Most of these people flooded into Kong Rong and Tao Qian's territory, and only a small part went to Cao Cao's territory.

And those who agreed to start from the bottom replied with a letter expressing their willingness to cooperate with Lin Yang to win Nanpi City.

Another month passed, and Nanpi City had been captured by Lin Yang, and Yuan Shao's family was executed. From then on, the two prefectures of Youji and Hebei fell completely into Lin Yang's hands.

During this month, Guan Yu and Tai Shici broke through Yanmen Pass and approached Nanpi City.

Zhao Yun and Zhang He also jointly broke through Leling Pass and arrived at Nanpi City.

At the 4th Army Alliance, Lin Yang also rushed to the front line from Zhuojun at this time, discussing with everyone about the siege of the city.

In the end, the rebels in the city broke through Nanpi City in just 3 days under the cooperation of inside and outside.

When the news of Yuan Shao's destruction spread throughout the world, everyone was shocked.

Because they really didn't expect Yuan Shao to be defeated after only persisting for a few months. They thought they could persist for a year no matter how bad they were. After all, it took nearly a year to defeat Dong Zhuo.

"Yuan Shao's 20 troops were defeated so quickly, how strong is Lin Xuanyue's army?"

Cao Cao looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

"Xuande, what do you think of this matter?"

That's right, the person Cao Cao asked was Liu Bei.

At that time, after Liu Bei gave up Pingyuan County, the person who defected was Cao Cao. He is currently a guest at Cao Cao's place and has no intention of serving Cao Cao.

"Lin Xuanyue has a lot of talents under his command, and this time he has dispatched 60 Youzhou elites to attack Jizhou. Yuan Shao is arrogant and not good at using people. The defeat is already a foregone conclusion, but I really didn't expect it to be defeated so quickly."

Said Liu Bei shook his head and showed a wry smile.

With such a powerful overlord like Lin Yang, it is not easy to help the Han Dynasty by himself.

"What does Xuande think I should do now?"

Hearing the question, Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, and met the dark smiling face.

I don't understand what Cao Cao meant by asking this sentence.

"I won't hide it from you, Xuande. Ever since Lin Xuanyue announced to the world that he was going to attack Yuan Shao, I have a feeling in my heart that after he takes down Jizhou, his next target will be me. You Should I give up here and seek a way out elsewhere?"

Seeing Liu Bei's doubts, Cao Cao didn't hide his inner troubles, and told the other party exactly, wanting to hear the other party's opinion.

Hearing the question, Liu Bei frowned even tighter. Why did Cao Cao talk to him about this matter? Shouldn't this kind of matter be discussed with his confidants?

But he didn't think too much, he stretched his brows, thought for a while and then said.

"I think that Lin Xuanyue will not attack Brother Meng De in a short time."

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao changed his posture and waited for the other party to explain why he said so.

The former paused, then explained.

"First of all, Lin Xuanyue's master is unknown. Except for Dong Zhuo who has been identified as a traitor, the other princes in the world, including him, Lin Xuanyue, are all courtiers of the great man."

"If you attack other vassals without any reason, the people in the world will spread rumors, and the hearts of the people in Youzhou will also be turbulent. For Lin Xuanyue, this is not worth the loss."

"Secondly, in the battle of Jizhou, although Lin Xuanyue eliminated Yuan Shao, she also lost a lot of troops. If there is no way to quickly replenish troops, it will be impossible to launch a large-scale war in a short time."

As he spoke, Liu Bei stroked his chin and thought for a while, then spoke.

"And even if there is a way to quickly replenish troops and horses, according to Lin Xuanyue's requirements for the Youzhou Army, from recruiting to training recruits, to battlefield practice, it will take at least 23 years to reach the current strength of the Youzhou Army .”

"Brother Meng De's tiger and leopard riders are famous all over the world. I believe that Lin Yang will not attract the attention of Yanyu and Yanyu for at least three years."

"On the contrary, Bingzhou, as Dong Zhuo's territory, currently has fewer troops, and most of them were transferred to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo. If Lin Yang wants to train troops, then his next target must be Bingzhou."

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and then laughed.

"Hearing Xuande's words made my hut suddenly open. According to what you said just now, I also think that this Lin Xuanyue should not attract my attention. I was worrying too much earlier."

Cao Cao, who wanted to understand, only felt his body relax a lot, and he no longer had the idea that Lin Yang would attack him first.

But for Liu Bei in front of him, Cao Cao was a lot jealous.

This person has a meticulous mind, a vicious vision, and sees things sharply. If such a person cannot be used by him, he will definitely be killed by him.

Thinking of Cao Cao, he said: "Okay, thank you brother Xuande first, brother, you will stay in Xuchang for a while, so that I can do my best as a landlord."

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Bei remained calm on the surface, and Bao Quan bowed.

"Since that's the case, let's bother Brother Mengde. I will leave today. Brother Mengde will rest earlier."

After speaking, Liu Bei withdrew and went back to the room Cao Cao had prepared for him.

After closing the door, Liu Bei's originally calm face showed a trace of loneliness, and he sighed slowly.

Why didn't he understand the meaning of Cao Cao's words just now, asking him to stay for a while was just to trap him by his side.

But he had no reason to refuse. First of all, he was already in Cao Ying. If he wanted to run, he might be ambushed and killed as soon as he left.

When he left the plain, he only took 4 soldiers and horses with him, but he was no match for Cao Cao who had more than 10 soldiers and horses.

Secondly, even if Cao Cao is willing to let him go, where can he go?

Every inch of land in this world has an owner, so we can't go back to the plain, it is already Lin Yang's territory.
