"Lose-lose?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao was stunned, and then sneered: "You don't think highly of the combat power of your Jingzhou army, although the strength of the two armies is almost the same, but don't forget, this knight army behind this general." ”

"This elite cavalry once followed the Liao Dapo Sun Quan Xiao'er 100,000 army, Guan Ping, are you sure you can win the battle?"

At this moment, Zhang Liao's expression was excited, and his words were also beaming.

Shocking Xiaoyaojin, breaking 100,000 male soldiers, this is the pinnacle of Zhang Liaorong's life, every time he talks about it, he will have a strong sense of pride.

It's just that Zhang Liao thought that he could scare Guan Ping, but after thinking for a while, Guan Ping said slowly: "General Zhang Liao, how about the more than 1,000 knights under your command compared to the 3,000 elite cavalry led by Cao Zhang?" ”

"The second son's fine horse? It is indeed unparalleled in combat power, the military is powerful, and Liao is not as good as it! ”

Hearing this, Guan Pingrong smiled and said: "That said, Ping has just gone north to attack Xudu, with thousands of foot soldiers, but Cao Zhang's three thousand elite cavalry who came to the aid did not dare to pursue. ”

"General Zhang Liao, do you still think that Ping is afraid of the more than a thousand horsemen under your command?"

At this moment, Guan Ping's expression was extremely understated, and his words seemed to have not taken the knights under Zhang Liao's command in his eyes at all, and he was extremely confident.

"Burn Xu Tian and block Cao Zhang's pursuit, Zhang Liao must not know at this time, then I will deceive him first."

When the words fell, Guan Ping also groaned secretly in his heart.

"What? He has already fought with the second son, and he is still unscathed, this combat power is too strong, right? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liao was also shocked in his heart at this time, and marveled at the combat power of the Jingzhou army, which was so strong.

As for the authenticity of the matter, Zhang Liao did not doubt it, after all, he would know about this matter sooner or later, what is the point of Guan Ping falsely reporting his achievements?

However, just slap yourself in the face!

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "What do you want?" ”

"Haha, General Zhang, Ping has no intention of having a dispute with your army, just take the road to the south and ask the general to complete it."

With a loud laugh, Guan Ping was on the back of the horse and arched his hand.

"Our army has been allied with the Sun family, and Sun Quan promised the King of Wei that he was willing to lead the people west to attack Jingzhou and relieve the siege for our army."

"In this case, you want to return south to the rear of the defense, Liao should hold you back and buy time for Jiangdong, do you think I can still borrow from you?"

When Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to lead the army to aid Xiangfan, he had already made it clear that he should not hide the news that Jiangdong was going to sneak attack, but should release the message with great fanfare, so that more and more Jingzhou soldiers would know.

Therefore, Zhang Liao had no burden at the moment, and revealed the news that Jiangdong was going to attack directly!

Hearing this, Guan Ping's complexion remained unchanged, and he chuckled: "Refuse our army to cross the border, prevent the return to Jingzhou, and let Sun Quan Xiao'er successfully capture Jingzhou, I'm afraid this is not Cao Cao's original intention, right?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

At this time, shocked by Guan Ping's ability to speculate, Zhang Liao's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he asked anxiously.

"It's not interesting, but Ping thinks that since Cao Thief has clearly told you and other generals that he wants to wantonly turn Jiangdong against our army and attack Jingzhou, isn't he just fighting to let our army retreat in the face of difficulties, not to continue the Northern Expedition, but to lead the army back to defense?"

"After these months of fierce fighting, I guess you and Cao Ying don't dare to underestimate the combat power of my Jingzhou army."

"Cao thief must know that as long as our army can return to defense in advance, the Jiangdong sneak attack will inevitably end in failure, and then Sun Quan will definitely be angry and continue to send more troops to forcibly fight for Jingzhou."

"In this way, our two families will have no time to scruple about the Northern Expedition, and your army will have time to accumulate strength and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, which must be the reason why the Cao thief spread information to inform our army of the essence of the Jiangdong sneak attack, right?"

"However, I have to say that this plan is indeed insidious, let our army merge with Jiangdong, but you wait to watch the battle from behind, but it is a good calculation."

When the words fell, Zhang Liao was more and more shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "How does he know that it is the proposition of King Wei to spread information on a large scale." ”

"This is the secret letter of the King of Wei, and it is impossible for the general who is not the commander of the army to know."

It's just that Zhang Liao didn't know of course that Guan Ping had a historical prophet, so he naturally knew that in the original history, this was a strategy that Dong Zhao offered to Cao Cao, the purpose was to get the news from Guan Yu, so as to give up the Northern Expedition, and return to the rear of the defense, and fight to the death with Eastern Wu, trying to achieve the profit of his own fishermen.

After a pause, Guan Ping said slowly: "General Zhang, is what Ping said wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liao frowned and muttered: "Indeed, what you said is good, but, as far as it is concerned, the threat of your Jingzhou army is far stronger than Sun Quan, then Liao will cooperate with Jiangdong first, and destroy you later." ”

"Sun Quan'er, I still don't look down on him, even if he has 100,000 male soldiers, on the contrary, Guan Ping, you and your father are the great enemies of our army."

"Haha!"

"Then Ping would like to thank General Zhang for looking up to my father and son."

For a while, Guan Ping pretended to laugh, as if he was really glad that Zhang Liao could look up to him, but in fact, he was scolding in his heart.

"This Zhang Liao is so difficult."

After thinking about it slowly, Guan Ping continued: "General Zhang, this is wrong! ”

"Just think about it, if our army really loses Jingzhou, then the counties south of the Yangtze River and the entire Yangtze River will be under Sun Quan's control."

"At that time, our army will be fine, and we can still lead the army to retreat to Shuzhong, and hold the precipitous place at the mouth of the gorge, and Jiangdong will have nothing to do with our army."

"When the time comes, once Jiangdong can't help our army, then General Zhang, think about it, with Sun Quan's habits, will he turn his gun and deal with you and others?"

"Moreover, occupying Jiangdong south of the Yangtze River, you can not only send troops to Xiangyang, but also lead the army to cross the river and take the Jianghuai River directly, and our army will be out of the Qinling Mountains and the northern expedition to Guanzhong."

"General Zhang thinks that if the situation really develops like this, can your army still deal with it?"

After a pause, Guan Ping looked at the change in Zhang Liao's expression, couldn't help but be happy, and continued: "But if our army occupies the counties of Jingzhou, it will be a three-legged situation, and Jiangdong will not be dominant. ”

"In this way, our army can not only keep Jingzhou, but also greatly reduce the threat to your army, how can General Zhang not understand this win-win thing?"

"I won't say much about Ping, it's right and wrong, but it's up to General Zhang to call the shots, but even if you refuse to borrow the way, then my army is not afraid of a battle, and it's a big deal to break the net."

At this moment, Guan Ping not only analyzed the overall situation in turn on the one hand, but also informed Zhang Liao with a tough attitude that our Jingzhou army was not afraid of a battle.

When the words fell, Zhang Liao's expression was uncertain, and his heart had been moved, but for the sake of face, he didn't agree, so he thought about it for a while, and then turned around and led hundreds of knights back to the city.

"Guan Ping, the resourcefulness is really not inferior, no wonder you can break Xiangyang in ten days."

"This person is really not to be underestimated!"

On the way back, Zhang Liao thought so.
