Chapter Seventy-Seven: Zhang Xuan, the commander of the right battalion

"Are you afraid of Zuo Liangyu?" Luo Rucai sneered, his eyes swept over with a bright eye, and said, "I'm afraid." ”

"I'm afraid of a bird, what's there to be afraid of. Zuo Liangyu Laozi is not unbeaten. Zhang Yingyuan said loudly.

"Yes." For a while, the crowd was excited.

These people have not killed anyone, they have not fought a hard battle, and Zuo Liangyu has not touched it, won battles, and defeated it, not to mention driving Zuo Liangyu from Xiangyang to Jiujiang, and there is also a point of Cao Ying.

How could they be afraid of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates being defeated.

"Okay." Luo Rucai said: "Since you are not afraid, this matter is decided." ”

"King, there is one more thing, it has been unresolved for a long time, that is, Xiao Yuanying's request for help, Xiao Yuanying, has been trapped in Xiayi County for more than a month, and after a long time, I am afraid that Xiao Yuanying will not be able to support it, so I also ask the king to make a quick decision, save or not. It can't be delayed any longer. Zhang Zhi got up and said.

As soon as Zhang Zhen said this, the people below also talked about it. These people here may not have any literary talents, but all of them are veterans and extremely experienced, and they also know that few cities can hold out for months. Not to mention that now is a time of distraction.

Winter passes, spring comes, and the winter wheat is not yet harvested, which is the most likely time for people to starve to death.

If you want to come to Xiayi City, the food in the city will not last long.

If it drags on any longer, there is no need to save Xiao Yuanying.

"Xiao Yuanying is Cao Ying's ally, and he must be saved." Luo Rucai made a final decision, set the tone, but changed his voice and said: "But the army has just gone from Xiangyang to Runing, the food is insufficient, and now it is the time when the green and yellow are not available, so the army can not move rashly, and can only wait for May before sending troops, however, the situation of Xiao Yuan's camp is in crisis, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for May to send troops, and I need a general to go first, not to break the enemy, but to contain the official army and buy a month for the army." I don't know what the general is willing to go? ”

Although Luo Rucai was asking, his eyes fell on Zhang Xuan.

As soon as Zhang Xuan heard Luo Rucai's words, he knew that Luo Rucai's words were not true.

Without him, Zhang Xuan has taken care of some things in Cao Ying, others don't know, can he not know? Not to mention anything else, the food extorted from the camp alone was enough for the army for a long time. The plan is not to stop the army because of a lack of food.

Of course, the more food you have, the better. Luo Rucai waited in Runing for a while, and after May, he would send troops and collect an extra season of grain, which would naturally be better.

But when marching to war, it is never better to be as well prepared as possible. It depends on timing.

If Cao Ying is approaching now, Ma Shiying is likely to retreat without a fight.

Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of Zhang Zhen's words, and then looked at Luo Rucai's eyes, and suddenly understood in his heart, and said secretly: "I'm afraid that transferring me from Runing is also one of the reasons." ”

"The minister and General Yuan are righteous brothers, and the minister asks for the order to be the vanguard, go to Guide, and ask the king to be fulfilled." Zhang Xuan got up and said loudly.

Many things can't be changed, if it's hard topped, I'm afraid the result will be worse, as soon as Zhang Xuan figured this out, he immediately got up and asked for battle.

"Okay." Luo Rucai smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and said, "General Zhang has this heart, how can I not be fulfilled." However, General Zhang's first is too thin. Moreover, the cavalry is scarce, and I am weak and strong in this battle, and there is no cavalry to help. “

Speaking of this, Luo Rucai's eyes swept over the generals, and suddenly looked at Yang Xuanzu, and said, "Rope Ancestor, how about you take the people of the headquarters and help Zhang Xuan?" ”

Yang Chengzu was a little surprised, and glanced at his brother Yang Chengzu, seeing that Yang Chengzu did not show the slightest performance, he didn't seem to feel that something was wrong at all, and immediately remembered what Yang Chengzu said to him before: "Rope ancestor, since the Xiangyang incident, the palm plate has changed a little, and the control over the old brother has become stricter, I estimate that after a while, you and my brother will be separated, remember, no matter when, as long as you don't disobey the palm plate, even if the palm plate has some movements, but it is still measured, just listen." ”

The Yang brothers have always been a major faction in Cao Ying.

Before, Luo Rucai didn't have that mind, and he could tolerate it, but at the moment, he couldn't tolerate it. However, when the monarchs and ministers met each other, it was the next strategy, and Luo Rucai only needed to limit it slightly, such as separating the Yang brothers.

"Your Ministers obey." Yang Shenzu said.

"Okay." Luo Rucai said: "Now that there are more people in my Cao camp, the camp is divided into five battalions, left, right, front and back, and my Cao camp should also be divided into camps, and Zhang Xuan is the commander of the right army, under the jurisdiction of Zhang Xuan's headquarters, and Yang Shenzu's headquarters. Feng Yang Chengzu was the commander of the left army. The Chinese army is self-governed and managed by Yulong. ”

Zhang Xuan silently calculated, the sweet jujube given by Luo Rucai is really good, and Yang Shenzu has five thousand elite riders. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, Zhang Xuan's department should not look at the number of more than 10,000 people, and it may not be that Yang Xuanzu is a powerful 5,000 elite horseman.

Now Zhang Xuan is in command of 20,000 horses. However, if you want to truly integrate these small 20,000 horses, you must first convince the Yang Shenzu in front of you.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan looked up and looked slightly, just in time to meet Yang Shenzu's eyes, and the two nodded slightly, as if they were brothers.

In fact, Yang Shenzu was not too convinced of Zhang Xuan, without him, Zhang Xuan's qualifications were too shallow, when Zhang Xuan first entered the Cao camp, the Yang brothers were already the small leaders in the army. Although later, because they were all from Henan, he

This relationship is closer, but let Zhang Xuan sit in the position of his boss, how can Yang Shenzu be willing in his heart, if it is not for Zhang Xuan is Luo Rucai's son-in-law, he will not look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha. gave him a smile, I am afraid that Zhang Xuan will not be able to get off the stage on the spot.

"The military situation is urgent." Luo Rucai said: "When does General Zhang want to send troops?" ”

"Tomorrow troops." Zhang Xuan said: "As the king said, time cannot be delayed for a moment, so early tomorrow morning, the right army will go north to Germany." ”

"Okay." Luo Rucai said: "In this way, I won't keep you, go down and prepare, Changshi." ”

"The minister is here." Zhang Zhen said.

"You go with you, and within tonight, all the supplies will be ready, and tomorrow you will be deployed." Luo Rucai said.

"Yes." Zhang Zhen said.

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Xuan retreated together, Zhang Zhen didn't say a word, took Zhang Xuan into Cao Ying's warehouse, and opened several warehouses, there were not many firearms in them, but there were all kinds of knives, guns, bows and arrows. said: "Cao Ying's savings are here, you can take them today, so that the weapons of your four battalions of 12,000 people are sufficient." ”

"Thank you, big brother." Zhang Xuan was immediately overjoyed and said, "With these things, I am relieved. ”

Although there are not many firearms and armor, ordinary swords, guns, shields, bows and arrows can be regarded as complete. There is no need for Zhang Xuan to start from scratch.

"It's not what I mean, it's the king's meaning, the king wants your Runing Mansion, how can you not say it, this is still a part, and it is allocated to hundreds of cavalry, plus He Hutou's cavalry, you can also raise more than a thousand cavalry. It's just that Luo Dai can't go back for a while. Zhang Zhen said: "Grain, and other baggage, you can give as much as you want." In short, this time you don't have to worry about the future, and the king also asked me to tell you, don't be so honest this time. Xiao Yuanying's matter, after all, is not Cao Ying's business, and it can't be self-preservation. ”

"I understand." Zhang Xuan looked at several warehouses, and suddenly his heart lit up, and he asked, "Aren't these things in the hands of Luo Dain?" ”

"Rodain!" Zhang Zhen snorted coldly and said: "If he is just greedy, the king will not do anything to him, he actually secretly has a close relationship with many generals, and whoever has a good relationship with him, these materials can be given to people casually." But he didn't know that these savings obtained from Xiangyang were an important weight for the king to balance the generals. And the management is confused, he himself doesn't know how many families Cao Ying has, if it weren't for his surname Luo, he would have been hung up at this moment. ”

Zhang Xuan figured it out all of a sudden, and said secretly: "Sure enough, there is no hatred for no reason." He counted the matter of Zhang Zhen stealing his place on my head. ”

If he had just come to this era and offended Luo Dain so much, Zhang Xuan would have been sincerely afraid, but now, he was just smiling.
