Chapter 41: The Great War is Coming

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian observed these three heroes at close range, Liu Bei was seven feet five inches long, with two ears hanging down his shoulders and his hands over his knees.

The eyes can take care of their ears, the face is like a crown of jade, the lips are greased, the sex is lenient, the words are silent, the mood is invisible, the ambition is great, at first glance it is a scheming person, and the weapon is a male and female sword.

Guan Yu is nine feet long and his beard is two feet long; The face is like a heavy jujube, and the lips are greased; Danfeng eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, dignified appearance, majestic, and the weapon is the Qinglong Yanyue Knife.

Zhang Fei is eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's whiskers, his voice is like a huge thunder, his momentum is like a galloping horse, and his weapon is a snake spear.

Zhang Xiaotian secretly said in his heart at this time: This joke can be made a big deal, I should have to thank the madman for his director, if it weren't for him, it would be impossible at all.

Let me get acquainted with these living heroes and heroes, and under my leadership, they are supporting the Han Dynasty, and the current historical trajectory

With my arrival, I am detaching myself from the history I already know, is this a good thing or a bad thing? And now we can only look at one step at a time.

When Zhang Xiaotian led the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang back to his own team, He Bao's three hundred disciples joined the team, which greatly increased his strength.

These 300 generals are in strong shape and full of energy, and they know at a glance that they are elite players. Chen Cheng, who had been sincerely scared, saw it

So many elite soldiers joined the team, as if they had taken a reassuring pill, and a bright smile appeared on their faces. Because Zhang Xiaotian's unpredictable prophet's layout last night shattered the conspiracy of the Marquis of Qinzhou, his soldiers respected him even more.

He, together with He Bao, Chen Cheng and Gongsun Ce, came to a hilltop, opened the topography map drawn on the silk, and studied the route to Pengcheng.

He Bao was very familiar with the territory of Pengcheng and said: "From here to Yuzhou, there is an official road to go, but according to the report of the detective, originally

There are still some refugees coming and going on this road, and the strange thing is that there is not even a person to look for on the road now. ”

Zhang Xiaotian said secretly: If Tao Gong really wants to send someone to attack him, of course, it is best not to leave the territory of Chang'an too far, then it will be fine

Pushing it all away, saying that the horse bandits were chasing after them beyond their own jurisdiction. Especially the red eyebrows themselves have a grudge against Zhang Xiaotian,

It can block the imperial court, and it can also make the imperial court dumb to eat the yellow lotus, so that there is nowhere to attack.

Alas! There really is not a single person in power in this era who is not a cunning person. But when you look back at the politicians of the 21st century, it's no surprise.

Chen Cheng pointed to Luoshui, a tributary of the Yellow River that runs upstream of Yuzhou, and said, "Crossing Surabaya, there is another."

An official road goes south to another big city next to the Yellow River, 'Linyi', and if we divert it, won't it be unguessable to the horse thief? ”

Zhang Xiaotian said in a deep voice at this time: "If I were a horse thief, I would definitely attack when you crossed the river." People come prepared, and there are more people than us, and it goes without saying that they are superior or inferior. ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and everyone knew that when they crossed the river, there was no danger to defend on the river, and the boat was completely exposed to the enemy's arrows, which was a good opportunity for the horse thieves to sneak attack.

Zhang Xiaotian is a professional soldier who has received strict training, and after thinking for a while, he said categorically: "No matter which official road we choose,

will fall into the trap of the enemy, the other party is the elite division of leisure, and we are the tired division, how to fight this battle?

It's a good strategy to defeat the Tired Army with an elite army, but we can turn his elite army into a tired army, which is not

There is no possibility, only in this way can we turn from a disadvantage into an advantage, so that it is possible to defeat the strong with the weak. ”

"Now we are still going east along the official road, but when we arrived at Surabaya, we did not cross the river, but went south along Surabaya to the inland river, and so on

Not only can we surprise the enemy, but they will also have to cross the river to chase them, and we can camp at any time by water, wait for work, and use their tactics to repay them. ”

Gongsun Ce said: "But that section of the road is not easy to walk...... He Bao cut him off and said: "As long as you can save your life, no matter how difficult it is, you can overcome it." ”

He Bao's words reminded Zhang Xiaotian of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in the twentieth century, after the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression, it was forced to evacuate Ruijin and embark on the Long March of 10,000 miles.

Flying to seize the Luding Bridge, climbing the snow-capped mountains, crossing the grassland, after a lot of hardships, finally escaped the enemy's encirclement and interception and the victory of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. These circumstances are similar to those of Him.

At this time, Chen Cheng said: "Just decide!" We increased the number of spies and kept a long-distance watch in the front and rear and on both flanks, preferring to walk slower than fall into the enemy's trap. ”

After the decision was made, the brigade continued to rush in the direction of Pengcheng. Zhang Xiaotian personally selected a group of healthy soldiers as spies, with four people on the left and right in front and one post, one post in five steps, one post in ten steps, and one sentry in front and back.

A total of 16 people will pass on information to the home team in the language of the flag to ensure the safety of the team.

It was almost dusk, and there was still a day's journey left after leaving Luoshui, so I found a high ground that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and set up camp to make a fire and cook.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't sleep all night last night, so he took this opportunity to hide in the camp tent and fall asleep. When I woke up, it was the next morning,

So I continued to hurry and went south along the official road to Surabaya, surrounded by undulating mountains and forests, with beautiful scenery and unforgettable returns.

When Zhang Xiaotian passed by the phoenix frame of the fourth princess, the beautiful princess lifted the curtain of the car and called in a coquettish voice: "Xiao Duwei!" ”

After leaving Chang'an, it was the first time she took the initiative to talk to Zhang Xiaotian. Zhang Xiaotian was surprised. Slow down the bridles and keep pace with the wagon,

"What does the princess command?" Looking at her bright and pretty eyes;

The fourth princess boldly looked at him for a long time, then lowered her head and said, "Xiao Tian! I appreciate you, but I hate you too. ”

After speaking, the curtain was lowered, cutting off Zhang Xiaotian's direct and greedy gaze.

Zhang Xiaotian was full of emotion in his heart at this time. He is a veteran of the flowers, of course he understands the meaning of her words, and the fourth princess calls him Xiao Tian,

She had proven that he was worthy of her, a man of golden branches. He was grateful that he had preserved her innocence, and hated that he was going to give her to Tao Gong.

Although this is an undisobeying imperial order, she still can't help but feel resentment towards him.

Zhang Xiaotian was in a state of sadness, so he had to put his mind on the beautiful scenery and endless changes along the way.

In this world more than 1,800 years ago, this world still retains its mysterious and moving original style.

If it's spring, you're sure to see groups of animals roaming the wilderness.

In the midst of this beautiful scenery of lofty mountains, lush forests, and stacked green mountains, Zhang Xiaotian suddenly had a whim, if

That madwoman's tattered machine can really make people travel between the past and the present, and go back and forth freely, so as long as he runs a travel agency, he can make a lot of money.

Under his own relief, Zhang Xiaotian was in a relaxed mood at this time, and finally arrived at the north bank of Surabaya at dusk.

The beautiful scenery that greeted the eye made Zhang Xiaotian, a visitor from the 21st century, fall in love with it. Only he understood,

The devastation that the earth has suffered more than 1,800 years later is unacceptable.

Surabaya is about 30 zhang wide, a river, like a bunch of velvet shining in the sun, between the alder and willow trees on both banks, flying stars splash, waving through the basin.

The river stormed like a monster, gasping, like a wounded beast. One after the other, the waves overlapped like an avalanche.

A huge whirlpool rolled up, and slammed into the embankment in a rage, making a loud noise. There are a lot of green algae growing in the river, like greasy long green ribbons, narrow, dark green, emitting a slightly fishy tidal smell.

Upstream are the overlapping blue mountains, the tops of which are covered with many years of snow, and the blue air ripples between the mountains.

The mountains draw soft, muddy lines, undulating, meandering, illuminated by the colors of the clear air.

The forest is verdant, and further down is the vast wilderness, until the far distance is seen, and the rolling mountains are seen again.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian was so drunk that he didn't give the order to camp until Chen Cheng reminded him.

He Bao and the others didn't need his orders, they had already sent people to climb to the top of the highest giant ridge and observe the movements near and far.

On the surface, it seemed that everything was peaceful, and from time to time birds and beasts came to the river to drink water, and even mingled with their mules and horses.

Enjoy the sweet fairy flow of Surabaya. This time, he formed the "Eight Formations", and the Eight Formations are a kind of group phalanx, each

The eight formations all have eight small formations distributed in eight directions around the central middle formation, and the center of the eight formations is Zhang Xiaotian's camp.

The tent of Mrs. Fen and the fourth princess is the middle battle. Each small array has code names such as heaven, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, snakes, etc.

The formation of each direction is six small formations, the middle formation is sixteen small formations, and the entire large square array has a total of sixty-four small formations.

After the large phalanx, there are twenty-four small formations composed of rangers, a total of eighty-eight small formations. The front row of these small phalanxes is composed of crossbowmen,

In the middle is a long weapon, and in the back row is a short weapon, in order to delay the enemy's attack, the power of crossbowmen is brought into play, and obstacles such as rushing cars, antlers, and thistles are also set up during defense.

Horses and mules surrounded the camp by the river. After everything was arranged, the sky was already dark, and the camps were buried in the stoves and lit fires, and the smoke was everywhere.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian, He Bao and Chen Cheng climbed onto a big rock and observed the movement on the other side from afar.

Suddenly, there was the sound of birds and beasts flying and moving in the forest on the opposite bank, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, secretly shouting that it was dangerous. Chen Cheng said at this time:

"I have informed Gongsun Ce that he will send someone to pretend to be a logger and build a raft so that the thieves will think that we will cross the river tomorrow morning." Then he smiled bitterly:

"Tonight may be the last quiet night."
