"Shrink the line of defense? How's that going to work? Our soldiers and horses are at the height of their momentum at this time. ”

"How can we shrink the defense line at this time, we should go all out and defeat Liu Bei's reinforcements, only in this way can we play the momentum of our Yellow Turban Army and deter those young people!"

Zhang Mancheng couldn't understand the situation, and thought that the officials and soldiers were those who used to be, and when Liu Yan proposed to abolish Shi Limu, the times had changed.

The official army of the imperial court is no longer the strength of the local counties, but has become the private armed forces of the princes, and the stragglers have become elite divisions.

The numerical advantage can no longer make up for the gap in strength.

Zhang Ning frowned when he heard that his eldest brother was actually at this time, and he was still thinking about blindly attacking.

Immediately open your mouth and persuade you.

"Big brother, what do you want, now let our people attack, unintentionally send them to death, the other party has support, we should retreat and hold on, the court is now fighting everywhere, there is Yuan Shao in the north, and Liu Zheng in the south to deal with, we are just one of the inconspicuous forces, as long as we can delay time, wait until the soldiers and horses of the court go to other places, and then counterattack, why take the initiative to attack at this time."

Originally, Zhang Ning opened his mouth like this, just to persuade Zhang Mancheng to say a word.

However, when Zhang Ning said that the Yellow Turban Army was just an inconspicuous small force, and when he said that Liu Zheng involved most of the imperial court's forces in the south, Zhang Mancheng's face became even more unsightly.

What kind of person is he Zhang Mancheng, General Tiangong, in charge of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, and what kind of person is Liu Zheng, but he was a small miscellaneous soldier under him, or through his promotion, he was able to become a small person who was a little handsome.

Why has he become more prestigious than him now, how did he become an inconspicuous small force by hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, occupying Qingzhou, and how did Liu Zheng become a hegemon.

Zhang Mancheng is not afraid that he will not be good, he is afraid that your little brother will be better than you.

And when comparing them together, the little self-esteem of Zhang Mancheng as a man in his heart seemed to be crushed by Zhang Ning.

"What is Liu Zheng? Without him, wouldn't we be alive? ”

"Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers will scare you like this, will General Gong's will be fulfilled that day?"

Zhang Mancheng's face began to become a little hideous, and he looked at Zhang Ning angrily, obviously angry.

But Zhang Ning didn't realize that what he said made Zhang Mancheng so unhappy.

Seeing that Zhang Mancheng insisted on sending troops to confront Liu Bei's people, Zhang Ning also knew that he could not persuade Zhang Mancheng.

She began to reflect on whether it was the right choice for her to follow Zhang Mancheng from Jingzhou to Qingzhou.

Guan Hai stood aside, watching the dispute between Zhang Ning and Zhang Mancheng, he wanted to speak and stopped, looked at Zhang Ning, and saw Zhang Ning give him a look and asked him not to speak.

In the end, Guan Hai didn't say anything, but after everyone was silent for a while, Zhang Ning looked at Zhang Mancheng, who had calmed down a little.

"Big brother, are you really going to send troops?"

After a long silence, Zhang Ning opened his mouth to ask.

"Or are you waiting for the other party to call us?"

"Since you insist on doing this, then my sister can't say anything, but my people, I won't let you bring it over."

After Zhang Ning finished speaking, he walked out.

Zhang Mancheng, who was sitting on the side, was even more angry when he heard Zhang Ning's words.

"If you don't bring it, you won't bring it, do you think I will be afraid without your tens of thousands of people?"

Zhang Mancheng couldn't help but say, seeing Zhang Ning leaving, he also left, he planned to lead his men and horses to fight with the enemy, the Yellow Turban Army claimed to have 500,000 people, but in fact, there were at most 300,000 warriors.

Among them, there are 30,000 or 40,000 people brought by Zhang Ning from Jingzhou before, and Zhang Mancheng is his own people, and there are only more than 200,000 Qingzhou soldiers.

However, the previous two successive defeats caused Zhang Mancheng's soldiers and horses to lose more than 100,000 people.

Now he can still mobilize, scattered in various counties and counties of Qingzhou, that is, 120,000, together, if you count the injuries and illnesses, you can barely reach 150,000.

In addition, Liu Bei and Cao Cao only have 50,000 people, Zhang Mancheng always has some luck in his heart, thinking that he is three times the manpower of the enemy, not to mention defeating the opponent in one fell swoop, fighting a few more times, he can always use the advantage in numbers to defeat the opponent.

After Zhang Mancheng left, Zhang Ning returned to his residence, and Guan Hai followed Zhang Ning back.

"Holy Maiden, what should I do now, the general is blindly attacking, and if he brings people over, he is afraid that the result will be ......"

Guan Hai still knows a little about soldiers and horses, and knows what the consequences of Zhang Mancheng's actions will be, but he can't say it in too much detail because of his face.

As long as Zhang Ning understands what he means, it's fine.

"I originally thought that Zhang Mancheng was a person with brains, who knew that he was just a stupid person, he was in this situation, he only wanted to expand, never wanted to stick to it, it was easy to fight the world, but it was difficult to defend the world, if it went on like this, not to mention that the enemy had not entered, even if there was no enemy to enter, his people were defeated by him first."

Zhang Ning recognized Zhang Man clearly at this time, and the reason why he was willing to come thousands of miles to find Zhang Ning was actually to catch Zhang Ning's strength and conquer Qingzhou.

At the beginning, Zhang Mancheng himself was only more than 200,000 people, and he did not have rich grain and grass, and he still needed to rely on Liu Zheng's help, but now after a little improvement, Zhang Mancheng's stupidity has been exposed.

Such a Zhang Mancheng is not something Zhang Ning is willing to help.

Thinking about it, Zhang Ning couldn't help but think of Liu Zheng who was thousands of miles away.

I don't know how Liu Zheng is now, their intelligence ability is not as good as Liu Zheng, many times, what happened in Jingzhou takes a month or even more to reach Qingzhou.

At this time, Zhang Ning only knew that Liu Zheng had defeated Liu Biao, and the imperial court sent tens of thousands of Ding Yuan's troops to Jingzhou to confront Liu Zheng.

Although she was a little worried about Liu Zheng in her heart, Zhang Ning also understood that how could a person as powerful as Liu Zheng be afraid of these tens of thousands of imperial court soldiers and horses.

The tone is worried about Liu Zheng, so it's better to worry more about yourself.

"Now that the general is gone, Qingzhou is bound to suffer."

"There is no way, we can't persuade him, we can only do our own things, Guan Hai, you immediately let our people gather from all over the country, and then all come to Beihai, the west of Qingzhou can be given to Liu Bei and them, but in the east, we must hold it, once the territory in the east can't be held, we can't explain to Liu Zheng."
