Just as Lu Zhi's army and the Yellow Turban bandits were confronting each other at the southern foot of Jizhou, Youzhou had obviously made an unusual move. Chen Lin, who was ordered by Lu Zhi, traveled thousands of miles to Youzhou to meet Yuan Shu. After a secret conversation with Yuan Shu, she had a different view of life. This made Chen Lin look at Hua Juan in a new light, but it also made Chen Lin feel like she had been deceived.
Chen Lin was currently standing outside Yuan Jun's tent. Her gaze was on the Yuan clan's army about a hundred steps away. The Yuan army, which had already set up camp at the northern border of Jizhou, was building fortifications one after another to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from ambushing them at the last minute. Meanwhile, a group of soldiers in charge of cooking were busy preparing dinner for tonight.
The night had just entered the curtain. The setting sun with a dark yellow light and the gentle grassland made people feel very at ease, as if this battle that was still unknown was no longer important.
"The sunset in the north is very different from the capital, right? Did Mr. Chen feel something different?”
At this moment, Chen Lin was feeling the afterheat of the setting sun with her eyes closed. She did not expect a gentle voice to come from behind. He knew that it was Yuan Shu who had arrived. He quickly opened his eyes, turned around, and bowed to Yuan Shu."Chen Lin is only a country bumpkin. She has lived in the capital for many years, so it is difficult for her to see such a vast and majestic scene…Provincial Governor Yuan was amused by his stupor just now.”
Yuan Shu still had a set of golden armor on him, which was even more dazzling under the setting sun. At this time, he walked forward a few steps with an ambitious attitude."Mister Chen has served Marshal Lu for many years. His military strategy is also the best in the court. I believe that Mister Chen has also learned many things from him…I wonder if Mr. Chen knows why Yuan Shu didn't send his army south urgently because of the treacherous war. Instead, he began to set up camp after entering Jizhou and stored food as if he wanted to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits for a long time.”
If Chen Lin met Yuan Shu for the first time, she would definitely think that he was probing her ability. Moreover, if the answer to this question could not satisfy Yuan Shu, then with the concept of an ambitious person using talent, she might not have any chance to develop in the future. However, after interacting with him for the past few days, Chen Lin understood that Yuan Shu was not a dragon in a pool. Yuan Shu's actions were only to cover up his lack of control. Therefore, most of the time after she came, Chen Lin had been thinking about whether she should find another master. However, after considering that such actions would cause her value to drop, Chen Lin finally decided to support this "not too satisfied" Yuan Shu. Therefore, he looked around and thought for a while before complimenting,"Who doesn't know that Provincial Governor Yuan's intelligence is extraordinary? This should be the so-called strategy of attacking but not attacking, or attacking but not attacking, and this was the best plan!”
"Offensive or not? Or attack? What Mr. Chen said has confused Yuan Shu…"
He didn't expect Yuan Shu to be such a hypocrite. He couldn't help but sigh. He had mistakenly believed Hua Juan's secret message that the Yuan family would become the number one family in the future and that they would have the opportunity to win the world. However, she was actually unhappy because she had been in Lu Zhi's army for a long time and could not use her talents. Even though this person might not be able to help her, Chen Lin still decided to give it a try.
Since Yuan Shu was not the material to influence the situation on the battlefield, Chen Lin decided to hint at the feasible method from the side so that Yuan Shu would involuntarily adopt it.
As she thought to herself, Chen Lin pretended to be suspicious and asked,"Isn't the reason why the Provincial Governor didn't build a stable because he wanted to focus all of his main offensive force on the cavalry and make use of the speed of our Peerless Cavalry and the rich battle experience of the knights to sneak up on the Yellow Turban bandits in one fell swoop so that Lu Yuanshi's Han army could turn the tables?”
He answered Yuan Shu with a look of approval,""Ah... Mr. Chen is indeed not a dragon in the pool. Yuan Shu thought that no one knew the use of our Yuan Family's cavalry. He did not expect that such a deployment would still be discovered by Mr. Chen... Well, I was planning to have a cavalry team of more than ten thousand go straight to the south of Hebei to pincer the Yellow Turban bandits after they have eaten and drunk, and then..."
Seeing that Yuan Shu was pretending to be smart and wanted to explain the plan, but he was still careless because he was not the material, Chen Lin immediately continued," Then, they placed the rest of their forces here, causing the Yellow Turban troops who wanted to help to delay the rescue time. As a result, Ma Yuanyi and the others were completely annihilated in the pincer attack of the two armies. Cishi Yuan was indeed a dragon among men. His plan was wonderful beyond words. In this way, Ma Yuanyi and the others would die!”
Hearing Chen Lin's complete offensive and defensive battle strategy, Yuan Shu was secretly happy that he had obtained this think tank that his camp still lacked. He was even thinking about how to keep him after this battle.
Although Yuan Shu was now the governor of Youzhou, leading about fifty thousand elite soldiers, and his cavalry was recognized as the strongest "Peerless Cavalry" in the universe, Yuan Shu still hoped to have someone who could plan for him. Of course, this person's fame and charm could not be compared to his. Because if his subordinates were to make great contributions and shock their master, it would be a bad thing for his future hegemony. Therefore, Chen Lin was not outstanding in both aspects, but if she wanted him to plan a strategy, he was no less than a military adviser. He was the best candidate.
Seeing that Chen Lin was looking up at the never-before-seen sunset scenery in the north with a nonchalant expression, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to call Ji Ling, who was in charge of the deployment of troops, over and explained what Chen Lin had said just now. Ji Ling was from Shandong, and the three daggers he wielded were unrivaled in the army. He was a brave general that Yuan Shu valued greatly. In less than a moment, Ji Ling cautiously asked about the unknown, then hurriedly left the tent to prepare for the cavalry's attack.
The remaining two were silent. At this moment, Chen Lin seemed to have thought of something and asked Yuan Shu, who was dreaming of dominating the world,"Forgive Chen Lin's ignorance. Although the cavalry under Provincial Governor Yuan's camp can be said to be peerless; However, if the Yellow Turban bandits were defeated by Marshal Lu in the Black Forest and fled back to northern Hebei, they would still have at least 70,000 to 80,000 troops left. Your clan's approximately 10,000 cavalrymen wanted to annihilate them, this…Chen Lin had always felt that it was a little difficult. Moreover, one should not pursue a desperate enemy. If one was not careful, it was very likely that the cavalry of your noble clan would be swallowed and killed instead.”
“... What Mr. Chen said was indeed valuable advice, which was very useful to Yuan Shu. This was…I didn't expect that!"
He had thought that this plan would allow the Yuan clan to reap the benefits and wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits. He did not expect that there would be such a possibility. At this moment, Yuan Shu's mood was like floating in the sky and instantly falling into the abyss.
The Yuan clan's cavalry was known as the strongest " Peerless Cavalry " in the world, and in order to increase the threat of their attacks, Yuan Shu did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy sharp weapons and heavy armor to equip this team into the " Heavy Armor Cavalry " that other soldiers could not match. It could be seen how much he relied on this cavalry team.
However, although the cavalry was powerful, it was not invincible. With a small number and a large number of enemies, no matter how strong the Yuan family's cavalry was, they were still mortals. Therefore, Chen Lin's worries were not groundless.
It was as if Yuan Shu, who had been splashed with cold water, was extremely uncomfortable. He saw that everything was ready and only needed "military assistance". Although Yuan Shu had great ambitions, he could do nothing about it. Just as the two of them were feeling depressed about this matter, suddenly! From the northeast horizon, the sound of galloping hooves could be heard from afar, raising a towering cloud of dust. It was a spectacular sight.
Chen Lin, who saw the smoke and dust from an unknown source, was even more puzzled. When she quickly glanced at Yuan Shu, who was originally worried, Yuan Shu revealed his ambitious face again and muttered,"Hah! I knew that the heavens would definitely help my Yuan Clan. Even something that should have been impossible to resolve now had a miracle…The Yellow Turbans will perish. Just wait and see, Mr. Chen! The future will belong to me, Yuan Shu!"
Chen Lin was a little puzzled. However, seeing that Yuan Shu had regained his confidence because of the dust in the distance, he immediately looked in this direction to try to figure it out. Many flags appeared in the smoke and dust, and the two words "Gongsun" were written on them.
