Chapter 42: The Battle of Communication

Zhang Ying was a little surprised that Luo Guangyu could take the initiative to say this very embarrassing thing to him and help her speak, Luo Guangyu's kung fu is also second to none in the army, so no one should come out to question her combat effectiveness anymore.

But General Zhao was still unconvinced, pouting and arguing: "The battle between the two armies is not something that can be decided by one person's strong force. ”

Zhang Ying was silent for a moment, slowly walked in front of General Zhao, slowly bowed down under the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, and then looked at the General Zhao sincerely, and said word by word: "So, General Zhao." Today, let me prove that I have the ability to lead the army to victory. ”

General Zhao was panicked by Zhao Ying, but he still wanted to speak out against it, but he was stopped by a friend beside him. The general whispered to him: "Today is a thankless errand, you and I don't want to go, in that case, how about letting this girl make a fuss." If she loses, she will lose her own face, and of course she will not have the face to talk about going into battle in the future. Even if she wins, it won't hurt you or me. If you continue to talk about it today, it will inevitably make the marshal's face unbearable, so why bother. ”

General Zhao also calmed down after hearing this, peeked at Zhang Shicheng, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Shicheng sitting there with a black face and not saying a word, obviously not in a good mood, so he snorted coldly, sat down with his sleeves brushed, and kept silent.

Seeing that General Zhao stopped talking, Zhang Ying looked around again, and no one stood up to oppose it. She turned her head to look at Zhang Shicheng and knelt down on one knee: "Marshal, let the last general fight on behalf of our army." ”

Of course, the unhappiness on Zhang Shicheng's face was faked, he had to let the generals see his attitude, but he didn't want to increase the pressure on his sister, so he pretended to be unhappy, so that people didn't know if he was unhappy because of Meimei's rudeness or because the generals insisted on opposing Zhang Ying. Now that no one opposes Zhang Ying anymore, Zhang Shicheng also thinks that this is an excellent opportunity for his sister to show her ability in front of the generals, so he said: "Since no one opposes it, then let's decide like this." ”

Zhu Chuba saw Ji Cheng, and also smiled: "Since your army has sent such a strong female general, our army can't despise it, so it will be better for the last general to fight in person." General Zhang, please be merciful to your subordinates then. ”

Zhang Ying frowned and looked at Zhu Chuba, the plan in advance did not say that Zhu Chuba would go into battle in person, her original intention was to let the Red Turban Army send a general out casually, and she didn't want Zhu Chuba to ask to fight her in person.

Zhang Shicheng didn't expect Zhu Chuba to ask to go into battle in person, he just thought that Zhu Chuba was competitive and didn't want to fall into the name of the general of the Red Turban Army, but it was not good to show weakness at this time, so as not to make people find an excuse to criticize Zhang Ying, so he had to smile bitterly: "General Zhu really looks down on his sister." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhang Ying didn't want to ask Zhu Chuba why he was arrogant, so he just arched his hand with a straight face: "Please ask General Zhu for advice." ”

General Zhao had a gloating smile on his face, in his opinion, Zhu Chuba, as the number two person in the Red Turban Army, would never lose to Zhang Ying, and he was ready to see Zhang Ying's depressed appearance after the defeat.

......

The meeting broke up unhappily after this small turmoil, Zhu Chuba went straight back to his tent, and Zhang Ying also slipped into Zhu Chuba's tent after making sure that no one noticed her.

"Hey, hey, why do you want to take the initiative to ask Ying to fight in person, just send a general casually, you are a dignified general of the Red Turban Army marching army bullying me a weak woman, are you embarrassed."

As soon as Zhang Ying entered the tent, she leaned into her waist and asked Zhu Chuba for her behavior just now, Zhu Chuba obviously expected this scene, and personally poured Zhang Ying a glass of water and invited her to sit down, and said: "My Zhang Da beauty, General Zhang, I don't do this for your good. You think, if you send a random general that you are not familiar with, then even if you win, the generals who oppose you can still use the excuse that my Red Turban Army general is incompetent and you can win. But if I had fought in person, they would have no excuse to question it. ”

Zhang Ying didn't follow, stared at Zhu Chuba and said: "But you fight in person, if I accidentally lose to you, my plan will be all in vain." ”

Zhu Chuba poured himself a cup of tea, took a leisurely sip and said, "Your business is also good for me, so how can I let you lose." ”

Zhang Ying looked at Zhu Chuba in surprise: "You want to release water to let me win?" But in this way, where will you put the face of the marching general of the Red Turban Army? ”

Zhu Chuba put down the water glass and didn't care: "What's there to be ashamed of, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." If you feel embarrassed because of a failure, such a general is not a qualified commander. ”

Zhang Ying looked at Zhu Chuba seriously, and her expression slowly became resolute: "You don't have to keep your hands, you and I will fight with all our might." If I lose, I'll have another way to convince those guys. ”

Zhu Chuba looked at Zhang Ying's resolute appearance in surprise and said, "You don't have to care about my face, I really don't care." ”

Zhang Ying smiled, her confident appearance was as beautiful as a mountain flower blooming. She stood up and walked in front of Zhu Chuba, patted Zhu Chuba's shoulder and said, "Who said that if you don't release the water, I will definitely not be able to defeat you, it's still the same sentence, don't underestimate women." ”

Zhu Chuba looked at Zhang Ying's confident and serious face, and was a little distracted for a while.

After Zhang Ying finished saying that, he said goodbye to Zhu Chuba: "I have to go, after all, the opponent is you, the marching general, I have to go back and prepare well." ”

With that, Zhang Ying turned around and walked out of Zhu Chuba's tent, leaving Zhu Chuba alone looking at her departing back in a daze.

After a while, Zhu Chuba came back to his senses. He walked to the corner of the tent, where there was the art of war book he had brought with him from Yingzhou. Thinking of what Zhang Ying said to him when he left, Zhu Chuba secretly thought to himself: "Yes, you can't underestimate women, especially this woman." ”

......

The news that the two armies were going to engage in a friendly battle had already spread throughout the army, and the soldiers of the two armies expressed great interest in this friendly battle, and many soldiers even took the initiative to find Zhu Chuba and ask to fight. Seeing that the soldiers were so passionate, Zhu Chuba was very happy, and immediately personally selected 5,000 elite soldiers in the Red Turban Army and handed them over to Zhang Ying. When the soldiers saw that the commander of the battle turned out to be such a beautiful general, their enthusiasm became more and more high.

The time for the friendly battle was set for the afternoon, and soon the blazing sun had risen to its highest point. Zhu Chuba rushed to the battle site with the five thousand elite soldiers selected by Zhang Shicheng, but he didn't want Zhang Ying to arrive with the soldiers of the Red Turban Army.
