After the dinner, Zhang Yong led Peng Yi and Meng Qiu through the camp to the shore of the pink water, looking at the firelight rendered on the opposite side and pondering for a while.

Although he led an army of 3,000 to support Fangling, it was only to temporarily pull the strength of Hanzhong and the strength of the Jingzhou army on the other side of the river to the same level, as long as Wen Ping was willing... You can continue to recruit troops for support at any time.

Of course... He can also choose to ask for reinforcements, but he is at a loss with Wen Ping... It is not in line with his intentions, except for the waste of money and food, and the loss of soldiers, there is no substantial benefit at all.

"Yongyan, don't we still have some prisoners of the Jingzhou Army in our hands? Screen and let go of those who are not strong in mind and do nothing first.

In addition, he sent someone to the Jingzhou military camp and said that he wanted to meet Wang Wei, and the time was about three days later. ”

"The prince wants to ask Wang Wei to meet? Isn't it too risky? ”

Hearing Zhang Yong's words, Peng Yi was slightly stunned, and then admonished with a little worry.

After all, Wang Wei is a veteran of Jingzhou, and one of the few generals in Jingzhou who has broken through the refining gang. It's nothing more than a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

"Shizi, what Mr. Yongyan said is reasonable, if there is anything, it is better to order General Yang and let General Yang go on behalf of Shizi."

There are three realms of martial arts, one realm and one day.

Although Wang Wei was only in the early stage of refining gods, it was not something that he could easily defeat by joining forces with Yang Ang.

If Zhang Yong came in person, Wang Wei would have bad intentions... I'm afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable.

"Don't worry! A certain is not so stupid, the place to meet is about in the middle of the pink water, then find a few clippers, if Wang Wei really has bad intentions, we withdraw to the company, he can still cross the river and catch a certain back? ”

Shaking his head, Zhang Yong signaled that the two did not need to persuade more.

"This..."

Looking at each other, Peng Yi and Meng Qiu showed a little helplessness, and they did not try to persuade each other again.

As Zhang Yong said, as long as the precautions are in place, even if Wang Wei has great ability, can he still walk on the river?

"I don't know why the prince wants to see Wang Wei? Do you want the prince to solve your doubts? ”

Staring at the pink water, Peng Yi had a feeling that he couldn't catch up with Zhang Yong's footsteps for a while.

"Yongyan thinks... We are now fighting to the death with the Jingzhou army, what are the pros and cons? ”

"Huh!?

Wen is very powerful, and the Jingzhou army will definitely lose countless losses in the end, and at the same time, it will attract the attention of Cao and Liu Bei, which will be unfavorable to my Hanzhong for a long time... Nature does more harm than good. ”

Although there is unwillingness, but the fact is that Jingzhou is too strong, and there is no other benefit except for weakening itself.

"Since the harm outweighs the good, and we have to fight, how about avoiding the war for the time being? Now Jingzhou has become a place where the four directions gather, and Cao Cao and Jiangdong Sun Quan will not be willing to be lonely.

Moreover, with Liu Biao's prudence, he will never let Wen Ping and Wang Wei lead the troops for a long time, otherwise it will only make the Jingzhou Shi clan bigger, as long as it drags on for a while, Liu Biao will definitely summon Wen Ping and Wang Wei to return to Jingzhou..."

According to the memories of his previous life, Gan Ning voted for Wu... That's about the time! At that time, a war that swept the middle reaches of the Yangtze River was about to start in Jiangxia.

Of course, he can't talk to Peng Yi about these key things, so he can only analyze some side details... Go to Peng Yi to prove his opinion.

"What does the prince mean that Cao Cao and Sun Quan will send troops to Jingzhou?"

Frowning, Peng Yi lowered his head... It seems to be analyzing Zhang Yong's judgment.

"Cao Cao may be later! But Sun Quan... I am afraid that I will never let go of this opportunity of the Northern Expedition of tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops. ”

"Sun Quan's own mother has not been mourned for a long time, and she has not yet been served, how dare Sun Quan use his troops recklessly!"

Regarding Zhang Yong's statement, Peng Yi, who has received Confucian etiquette education since childhood, obviously cannot agree.

Although Sun Quan is not very old, he is a male lord after all, how can he do such a thing as filial piety.

"Hahaha... Yongyan, it seems that you still don't know enough about the princes of the world, although Sun Quan has not been on the throne for a long time, he has not yet shown his eloquence.

But if it's because of this... If you look at him from the eyes of ordinary people, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. ”

Looking at Peng Yi's eyes that revealed disbelief and suspicion, Zhang Yong secretly complained that Confucianism was harmful.

Although Confucianism has the merit of enlightenment, this dogmatism... It really harms a lot of people, and even a wise person like Peng Yi can't be exempt.

"Although Sun Quan's statement is not obvious, in a certain opinion... Its threat is far greater than that of Sun Ce, Jiangxia Huang Zu... I'm afraid it's a catastrophe this time! ”

……

Three days later, on the Pink River, more than a dozen clippers stood against each other.

For Zhang Yong's request, Wang Wei naturally had no reason to avoid it, especially after the first batch of captured soldiers was released, Wang Wei Lisuo agreed to meet with Zhang Yong.

For the son of Hanzhong who suddenly "appeared", he was indeed very curious in his heart.

"Zhang Yong in Hanzhong, I have seen General Fenwu."

Looking at the middle-aged general in front of him, Zhang Yong's expression was much more solemn.

As one of Liu Biao's confidants, for the general... Liu Biao did not have the slightest stinginess, although he was only a miscellaneous general, but compared to the position of General Huang Zhongzhong, the name of Fenwu... Undoubtedly dazzling.

"Jingzhou Wang Wei... I have seen the son, but I have not thanked the son for the grace of the prisoner. ”

After looking at Zhang Yong a few times, Wang Wei smiled slightly, and then replied... The style of the view is quite a bit of a Confucian general, and it is no wonder that it can be loved by Liu Biao.

"The general's words are serious, my father often taught me to wait... The gentleman made a promise, and the price was more than 1,000 gold, that is, I was the first to say in Hanzhong, and naturally released the captured Jingzhou soldiers. ”

In this kind of field, you must not lose your share.

"Even if there is an appointment in advance, why don't the prince release the remaining soldiers of our army!"

Listening to Zhang Yong's boastful talk, Wang Wei's side... Huo Du, the party who had been silent, finally couldn't help but scold.

"This should be Huo Sima!"

"If you offend, please forgive Sima! If it was in the past, some of the captives would have been released, but now General Fenwu has led the army to come, eyeing my Fangling, and he will never be at peace... Naturally, I want to have more chips in my hand.

If you can't get it, please also invite General Fenwu and Huo Sima Haihan! ”

"Needless to say, how can the prince let those soldiers go? Of course, let me wait for such a request to retire... Don't mention it again. ”

Glancing at Zhang Yong lightly, Wang Wei waved his hand to let Huo Du retreat for the time being.

Fangling is too close to Xiangyang, and it must be in the hands of Jingzhou no matter what, and the rest is easy to talk about... This is the only point that must not be compromised.

"Yong is not ready to fight the general, please ask the general to restrain his troops and give him some time."

"How long?"

"A month..."

"Impossible! You will be given a maximum of five days. ”

"Five days is too short, is it possible that in the general's heart, the lives of the soldiers under his command are only worth five days?"

"Seven days! Can't be any longer! ”

Looking at Zhang Yong, who was bargaining, Wang Wei's eyes gradually cooled, this son is by no means a good stubble, and he may be a big trouble for Jingzhou in the future.

"Fifteen days, it can't be shorter! If the general does not agree, he will pull them to the bank of the Pink Water River tomorrow, kill people and sacrifice flags, and boost the prestige of our army. ”

"Ten days... This is the final bottom line, don't push me again... Otherwise, Ben will be forced to cross the pink water tonight... Raids and kills all parts of Fangling. ”

Zhang Yong needs time, why doesn't he need time, within ten days... General Wen will definitely be able to defeat the Cao army in the capital, and then wave the army south, and what awaits Zhang Yong is the thunderous momentum.

"Ten days for ten days... It is also hoped that the general will keep his promise. ”

Looking at Wang Wei on the opposite side, who was almost on the verge of rage, Zhang Yong felt that he had calmed down.

Maybe... That's growth!

He has gradually integrated into this war-torn era.

No matter what kind of thoughts Zhang Yong and Wang Wei have, the ten-day appointment... That's it.

Just as Wang Wei secretly planned for himself that day, Wen Ping... There was finally a big move in Nanyang County.

At the beginning of February, after a storm.

Wen Ping was impatient to dispatch a large army and crusade against Cao's army entrenched in six counties west of Nanyang in three ways.

all the way out of the championship and straight to Shunyang; All the way out from Yin and Yu counties, a total of 5,000, deployed in the northeast of Shedu; The other way... Then there was Wen Ping personally commanded, 3,000 iron cavalry, 15,000 foot soldiers, from Zhuyang, carrying countless grains and grasses, directly hitting the small city of Shidu.

The army marched all the way, defeated countless secret posts of the Cao army along the way, and approached the capital in just two days.

Outside the city, the flames of war are flying, fighting bursts of battles, dozens of wells and catapults are frantically pouring all kinds of flying stones and arrows, and the powerful attack completely suppresses the counterattack of the Cao army in the capital, and the city wall has been reinforced many times... There are also a lot of cracks.

Breaking the city... It seems like it's just a matter of time.

In the city, Ma Ren led several generals of the Cao army to change places, and there was no other... The house where he once lived has been reduced to a ruin under the flying stones of the Jingzhou army, and a temporary camp tent can only be set up behind a high wall.

"This is already the third day, except for the tentative siege of the Jingzhou army on the first day, in the past two days... Almost all of the Jingzhou troops were outside the city, relying on siege equipment such as wells, catapults, and crossbows to suppress our army. ”

"The city defense is now gone, more than half of the archers have been lost, and the soldiers have developed a sense of fear and cowardice, such as not trying to contain the enemy army outside the city... I don't think I have to wait for them to come in, my soldiers... I'm afraid they'll all turn against us! ”

The banner of the Cao clan is loud, and it has gathered countless civil and military generals, which is true.

But there are more illiterate villagers below who only rely on their own strength.

Leaving aside the more than 1,000 soldiers who have been lost in the past two days, they still have nearly 7,000 troops under their command... It can be said that the strength has not been lost.

It's a headache... What also made them hesitate was that at least more than half of the 7,000 soldiers were villagers from the six counties in the west of Nanyang, and they felt Liu Biao's grace for a long time.

Cao Jun is powerful, these people will naturally not have two hearts, but will only go one way to the end.

But now... Wen Pingwen Zhongye, the number one general of the late lord of Jingzhou, led the army to surround them on both sides and trapped them in the capital city.

After a long time, you will think about change, and after a long time... It's hard to guarantee that the people below won't make any trouble!

Soldiers... Or mutiny.
