Chapter 207: High-altitude reconnaissance
Yuan Shao has already entered the role, and his words at this time are very decent.
Everyone also nodded, and they all felt that Yuan Mengzhu handled it very well.
And Zhang Ming didn't get off the horse, but was still sitting on the horse.
"Okay, Yuan Benchu, Lao Tzu doesn't enter the barracks, you are a gentleman, you have no military talent, listen to your blind command, I don't know how many people will die."
Zhang Ming was unceremonious, and directly scolded Yuan Shao in front of everyone.
Yuan Shao's face changed, he was the leader of the alliance, and he had a very good face.
"Zhang Ming, you are the one who initiated the battle against Dong, so the leader of this alliance gave you face, I didn't expect you to be so ignorant." Yuan Shao said: "If you don't accept me as the leader of the alliance, you can nominate another person of high moral integrity to serve as the leader of the alliance." ”
Zhang Ming waved his hand, and then said: "I once said in the Tiger Prison Pass, the heroes of the world, only me and Brother Meng De, I have no interest in the position of the leader of the alliance, if you want to promote a person of high morality, there are people here and there who are comparable to Tao Qian Tao Zhou Mu." ”
As soon as Zhang Ming's words came out, everyone's faces changed, not only did not give Yuan Shao face, but also sowed discord in public, which means that no matter how he was elected, it would not be Yuan Shao's turn to be the leader of the alliance.
"Zhang Ming, this is an internal matter of our allies, and it is not your turn to interfere." Yuan Yi was a member of the Yuan family and one of the eighteen princes, and hurriedly came out to defend Yuan Shao.
Zhang Ming clasped his hands into fists, and then said: "It is indeed your internal matter, since the person I want to see has come out, say a few words and leave." ”
"Brother Meng De, when you are free, you will come back to cook wine and talk about heroes."
"Definitely."
Cao Cao was also helpless, what Zhang Ming said just now, the heroes in the world, only him and Zhang Ming, are too arrogant, too unserious about the princes.
Zhang Ming looked at Sun Jian again.
"Brother Wentai, Bo Fu has now succeeded in his studies, and now in this situation, I will bring him and let you take him personally."
Zhang Ming waved his hand and asked Sun Ce to come out.
I haven't seen you for a long time, and Sun Ce has grown taller and stronger.
Sun Jian was very happy, he was very happy to see Sun Ce here.
"Thank you, General Protector."
Sun Ce was very reluctant to come out of the ranks, Zhao Yun taught him a lot, he personally led the troops in the army in Liaodong, and he also learned a lot.
However, he knew that he had to return to Sun Jian's side.
It's over.
Zhang Ming clasped his fists at everyone, and then said, "Don't leave it here." ”
After Zhang Ming finished speaking, he led the soldiers away directly.
It doesn't matter if you don't join the allies, it saves a lot of trouble.
It's just that you have to collect your own grain and grass, but it's not too difficult.
Zhang Ming directly drove the army to more than 20 miles away and found an open space to camp.
The place Zhang Ming was looking for, as soon as he faced the water, he camped by the river.
After setting up camp, Zhang Ming called a few of his subordinates.
"Zhicai, if we don't join the allies, we will have to raise food and grass ourselves, which requires someone to protect the safety of the rear."
In this way, their 15,000 troops are a little tight.
"Lord, my subordinates suggest that we recruit soldiers on the spot, as long as we recruit infantry, with a little training, we can protect the safety of grain and grass, and this Yuan Shao side does not dare to blatantly do anything to us."
What Xi Zhicai said was reasonable, the allies would not attack so quickly, Zhang Ming asked Xu Huang to do it.
Money is easy to do, Zhang Ming has arrangements everywhere, as long as there is a place for Tanglin Restaurant, he will not worry about running out of money.
The barracks were set up, the soldiers patrolled back and forth, and in the big tent, Zhang Ming was discussing with a few of his subordinates.
Guan Yu proposed to kill directly to the tiger prison.
However, Zhang Ming did not want to give the Allies a lead.
"Hundreds of thousands of Allied troops are gathered here, it is easy to get into trouble, and soon they will send several troops, and we can just follow their vanguard to kill them."
On the side of the allies, everyone was in a good mood, the alliance was established, the general trend had been achieved, and Zhang Ming, who they generally hated, was excluded.
Although it was initiated by Zhang Ming, the results were about to be picked up by Yuan Shao.
In the next few days, no one made a rash move, and on the side of the allies, the princes were keen to feast, you invited the banquet, and I invited the banquet.
On Zhang Ming's side, he first recruited soldiers on the spot and gathered grain and grass.
"Report, lord, the allies have sent Sun Jian as the striker, and they have set off."
Zhang Ming was analyzing the information in the big tent, and a soldier hurriedly came to report.
Zhang Ming put down the information, and then said, "Call the generals to come." ”
Guan Zhangzhao, Xu Huang and Xi Zhicai came quickly.
"The allies have moved, we have to take the first step, the three generals of Guan Zhang and Zhao will lead 10,000 cavalry with me to go first, and Gongming and Zhicai will move forward slowly with cavalry and infantry."
Zhang Ming put another map on the table and said: "Xingyang is a place that must be passed, and it is also a place where the two sides fight, so I will go here first." ”
Xingyang is the only way to pass through the Tiger Pass, and the allies must attach great importance to it, according to the news of the previous investigation, Dong Zhuo's side also arranged a large number of soldiers and horses here.
Zhang Ming's action is very strong, and he arranged it immediately.
led the troops to Xingyang quickly.
Running wildly all the way, walking for a few days, halfway through, Zhang Ming suddenly called the army to stop.
"Take the trail instead, take a detour all the way."
It was a strange order, but the crowd carried it out.
After walking for a while, Guan Yu still couldn't figure it out, so he asked: "Big brother, it's quite inconvenient for our cavalry to take the small road, why don't you take the big road?" ”
"There must be an ambush before we reach Xingyang, let the allies fight, and we can wait for the opportunity to sneak attack."
After another three days, the march was very slow along the trails.
On this day, shortly after noon, Zhang Ming ordered the army to set up camp.
The crowd was still puzzled, but they still carried it out.
After setting up camp, Zhang Ming left alone.
In a no-man's land, Zhang Ming released a hot air balloon.
"It seems that this thing has to be made public, and it should be taken out for the soldiers to use."
Zhang Ming wants to take a hot air balloon to investigate, which is what a soldier should do, but now Zhang Ming can only go out in person.
This area is a place where Zhang Ming investigated in the early stage and was convenient for ambush, so Zhang Ming thought of investigating.
The hot air balloon lifted into the air, and Zhang Ming was hundreds of meters away, holding his glasses to check.
A little bit of searching, sure enough, Zhang Ming found the traces.
The enemy has an ambush, and the ambush is ingenious.
The front is directly ambushed on both sides of the woods, and if the other party detects, it may be discovered.
Once spotted, they will stop, and they have some troops and horses in the rear, and if the opponent stops, they can attack from both sides of the rear.
"The enemy has to put the enemy through first, and then the rear people enter the ambush site, the nearby terrain is complicated, and it is really capable."
After a large-scale reconnaissance to figure out the general terrain, before it was dark, Zhang Ming descended to the ground again.
On the way back, Zhang Ming has been studying the simple map, as well as the possible ambush of the enemy.
Only some traces can be seen in the sky, and the soldiers have to be reconnoitred again.
Back at the barracks, Zhang Ming ordered the special forces to investigate the several places he had highlighted.
Zhang Ming decided to exchange a hot air balloon from the system store.
"A hot air balloon costs a thousand merit points, and this merit value is really not spent." After redeeming it, Zhang Ming was still very painful.
