In Zuo Liangyu's big tent, a heroic young man came in, probably because he had just arrived at the barracks, the young man's face did not have the vicissitudes of being a soldier, but a childish face, the tight wrinkled black eyebrows, and the panicked eyes made Zuo Liangyu angry when he looked at it, this person was none other than Zuo Liangyu's only surviving son, Zuo Mengeng.

Zuo Liangyu looked at his son Zuo Menggeng, who had no general demeanor at all, and was slightly angry in his heart, and scolded: "Look at you, you don't look like a general at all, what's the hurry!" Can the sky fall? Even if the sky falls, you have to stand it, what are you anxious about? ”

Zuo Mengeng shrank his head, he looked at his father like a mouse seeing a cat, he was very afraid, he stood aside honestly, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Chen Zhibang and Ma Liangwen are Zuo Liangyu's fellow countrymen, and they are also his left and right arms, and their relationship is very close.

"Hehe, the young general is still young, he has just arrived in the army, and it is normal to be a little impatient, why should the general blame him, when I am so old, I am not as good as the young general!" Adjutant General Chen Zhibang came out to play a round.

"Yes, the young general is young and ignorant, now that he has come to the general, the general should teach slowly, the young general is a talented man, and he will definitely surpass you and me in the future."

Deputy General Ma Wenliang also said that this Zuo Mengeng was grown up by them, where are they willing to let Zuo Mengeng be reprimanded like this. What's more, now Zuo Liangyu's relatives have such a son, that damn Cao Cao, when he was in trouble in the Central Plains, he patronized Zuo Liangyu's hometown Linqing and killed Zuo Liangyu's family cleanly, but fortunately, Zuo Mengeng was greedy for fun, came out to have fun and picked up a life, leaving Zuo Liangyu a life, which can be regarded as God's care for Zuo Liangyu.

"Hmph, it's you who are spoiled!" Zuo Liangyu blamed on his lips, but he also felt sorry for his son in his heart, he just hated that iron could not become steel, his son was about the same age as Qin Yiming, but Qin Yiming was much stronger than his own child. On the other hand, he also blames himself, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, his voice is loud and his temper is stinky, Zuo Mengeng is cringed by his own yelling, and seems to be very afraid, just such a son, he doesn't want his son to live under his own fear and authority, deep down, he still wants his son to live happily and happily.

"General, I think it's better for us to talk about how to deal with the current situation!" Ma Wenliang changed the subject.

Zuo Liangyu took advantage of the steps, looked away, and asked, "How do you think we should deal with it?" ”

"Daddy, didn't Lord Shangshu tell us to wait for reinforcements?" There was nothing wrong with Zuo Mengeng's words, but Zuo Liangyu was uncomfortable listening to them, why should he listen to Xiong Wencan's words!

Ma Wenliang and the others knew that Zuo Mengeng's words made Zuo Liangyu's heart unhappy, and immediately gave Zuo Mengeng a look, and preemptively spoke: "There is King Tang living in this Nanyang City, if the thieves break the city, no one can afford it, Lord Commander, I think we should wait for the opportunity to rescue Nanyang!" ”

"That's right, the generals are not subject to military orders abroad, so you can't just watch Nanyang fall by the thief army and sit idly by!" Chen Zhibang also followed Zuo Liangyu's thoughts and said, they only emphasized one point, Zuo Liangyu can reasonably ignore Xiong Wencan's military orders at this time.

"Nanyang City is not so easy to break, the army has a good rest today, and set off tomorrow to rescue Nanyang City!" Zuo Liangyu ordered.

"Yes, General!"

The next day, Zuo Liangyu's army marched westward along the Miyang River, a tributary of the Blocked Water River, and came to the Blocked Water River in the evening, but Zuo Liangyu ordered the whole army to be stationed, stop advancing, and the army set up camp and buried the pot to make rice.

Zuo Liangyu's decision is naturally that no one dares to oppose it, but there are different voices, and in Zuo Liangyu's big tent, the deputy generals of the general army are discussing this issue.

"General, aren't we going to the river? Now the military situation in Nanyang is urgent! Ma Liangwen asked suspiciously.

Zuo Mengeng nodded, followed and asked, "Yes, father, if Nanyang City is broken, I'm afraid the emperor will blame." ”

Zuo Liangyu glanced at Ma Liangwen, then at Zuo Mengeng, and asked, "Deputy General Ma, you never question any of my decisions, what's wrong today?" ”

Ma Liangwen and Zuo Mengeng didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to see through it all at once, in fact, Zuo Mengeng wanted to ask, but he was afraid that his father would punish him, so he encouraged Ma Liangwen to throw bricks and lead the jade, Zuo Mengeng came to the army for the first time, most of them were on paper, but he had the heart of a scholar, full of enthusiasm as if he was going to sway on the battlefield, he was worried that his father was procrastinating, and Nanyang City would fall into the hands of Zhang Xianzhong.

Ma Liangwen smiled and said: "General, I think what the young marshal said makes sense, we should cross the river immediately, if we cross the river during the day, the thief army scouts will definitely know, and then it will not be able to achieve the effect of attacking it by surprise." ”

"That's right, father, let's cross the river at night now, and tomorrow when Zhang Xianzhong is fighting fiercely under the city wall, let's take the opportunity to attack it, and we will definitely win a big victory!" When Zuo Mengeng talked about his plan, he was emotional, and his eyebrows danced, as if he had used his strategy to win a big victory in front of him.

Zuo Liangyu could see that his son was now eager to lead the army and become a general, and he was not good at pouring cold water, so he said lightly: "In the army, everything must obey orders, and there is no need to have so many people's thoughts." Zhang Xianzhong has rebelled for so many years, not only has he not been annihilated, but he has become bigger and bigger, this person is not as simple as you think. Let's move from Miyang to block the water river, make a gesture, it's enough! ”

"But father, the fighter plane is fleeting!" Zuo Mengeng said anxiously.

"Son, last time I was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong for Yunyang, but the court and the emperor only verbally reprimanded, and did not really punish him, do you know why?"

"My father has fought for the Ming Dynasty for many years, and he has worked hard!" Zuo Mengeng said proudly.

"Fart, doesn't Overseer Yuan work hard? But how? It's not that we can't fight those damn Wenchen, as long as we have soldiers in our hands, those people don't dare to do anything to us, Zhang Thief is now powerful, although they are all thieves, but there are more than 200,000, we are only 40,000 people, and when they are exhausted under Nanyang City, let's cross the river again, and then Zhang Thief knows that our army is coming, and he will naturally leave. Besides, we are stationed in the Blocked River, and it will not be easy for the thief army to sneak attack us. Zuo Liangyu said.

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight, the general's plan is wonderful!" Ma Liangwen nodded.

Although Zuo Mengeng didn't agree with such a way, he couldn't help it, so he could only leave the big tent helplessly.

On the other side of the river, an army with Liu Wenxiu as the general is dormant, they have been waiting for the opportunity, according to Li Dingguo's idea, Liu Wenxiu's army is ambushed here, and when Zuo Liangyu's army crosses the river, he will come to a half-crossing and attack, then Zuo Liangyu's army will inevitably be in chaos, but he waited for two days, Zuo Liangyu's army is in front of him, how not to cross the river, the only action of the official army is to keep collecting civilian boats.

"Could it be that their boat has not collected enough, come here, quickly report to the king and General Anxi, Zuo Liangyu's army has not crossed the river, will we continue to stay here!" Liu Wenxiu ordered.

Half a day later, Li Dingguo came to Liu Wenxiu's big tent.

"General Anxi, this Zuo Liangyu is cunning and ruthless, he can't cross the river, what do you think we should do?" Liu Wenxiu asked.

Li Dingguo had already seen the stationing of the officers and troops on the other side, and he could see the smoke on the opposite bank from a distance, and Zuo Liangyu really didn't seem to have the intention of crossing the river.

"Now that it's autumn and winter, the river is not so turbulent, why isn't Zuo Liangyu in a hurry to cross the river? Otherwise, let's not wait here stupidly, I'll have a sneak attack tonight, he won't come, let's go!" Liu Wenxiu asked tentatively.

"No, Zuo Liangyu is not an ordinary general soldier, you see that his camp is armed, alert and strict, we will definitely suffer a big loss if we sneak attack. I still have to find a way to let Zuo Liangyu cross the river! ”

"But if Zuo Liangyu doesn't cross the river, do I have to wait forever?"

"No, Zuo Liangyu will have to cross the river sooner or later, if he doesn't cross the river, he will watch our king take Nanyang City, and the court will not be able to spare him at that time." Li Dingguo said firmly.

Liu Wenxiu nodded, he understood what Li Dingguo said, but the problem was that Nanyang was in full swing, but he was left here with nothing to do, and most importantly, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

"Hey, let's just wait here then."

Li Dingguo looked at Liu Wenxiu's depressed mood, and said with a smile: "Hehe, General Liu, it's not just you waiting alone, isn't Brother Sun, the general of Pingdong, also waiting secretly in the upper reaches of the Blocked River, he is not in a hurry, General Liu has always been calm, why is he in a hurry?" ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid that when the time comes, Nanyang City will be taken and King Tang will be captured, and then the good things will be divided by Cao Cao's people, and we won't be able to get any benefits!" Liu Wenxiu said with a smile.

"Wait, I suggested to the king before I came today, the spies who came out of Nanyang City for help, let's let them go, and Zuo Liangyu can still be as stable as Mount Tai at that time?"

For two days in a row, Zuo Liangyu would receive a distress letter from Nanyang City every three hours, and Xiong Wencan also urgently ordered Zuo Liangyu to rescue Nanyang City quickly, but Zuo Liangyu was unmoved.

"Father, hurry up and send troops, while waiting for Nanyang City to be taken by thieves, the court will blame it then."

"Yes, General, you can't wait now. Our spies from the root army came to report that Nanyang City is already in ruins, and the corpses of thieves under the city are piled up, and now the battle between the two sides has become white-hot, if we still hold our troops, I am afraid we will not be able to say it. ”

"General, Xiong Wencan's military order arrived yesterday, let us send troops to rescue Nanyang, and if we don't send troops, I'm afraid ...... He was accused of disobeying military orders and fearing the enemy. ”

"General, the thief army is powerful, we should avoid its edge, I think we should retreat to the sun."

Zuo Liangyu was a little hesitant, some advocated crossing the river immediately, and some advocated retreating to Miyang, in everyone's noisy disputes, Zuo Liangyu suddenly hammered down on the desktop map with a heavy fist, everyone stopped arguing, everyone's eyes looked at Zuo Liangyu, everyone knows, Zuo Liangyu decided again!
