Chapter Ninety-Three: Brothers Meet

"Third brother." Yuan Shizhong grabbed Zhang Xuan's hand and said, "You make me think about it." ”

"Big brother, I'm late, let my big brother suffer." Zhang Xuan looked at Yuan Shizhong's beard and hair, he didn't know how many days he hadn't taken care of, it was very messy, his face was thin, and only a pair of bloodshot eyes were still bright.

"It's good to come, it's good to come." Yuan Shizhong laughed and said, pulling Zhang Xuan's hand as he spoke, and the two walked into the Xizhai together, among the largest barracks, Yuan Shimin and Wu Zilan consciously guarded the door outside, they knew that Yuan Shizhong and Zhang Xuan must have a lot to say between them.

Yuan Shizhong and Zhang Xuan sat down, the light of an oil lamp swaying and flying between the two, and the flickering flame cast a large shadow behind the two, still shaking.

"Luo Shuai, when will it arrive?" Yuan Shizhong also couldn't care about it politely, and asked directly.

"Your Majesty, we won't send troops until May." Zhang Xuan said: "Big brother, you also know. Cao Ying and Chuang Camp fell out, and now Cao Ying's food is insufficient, and he can only send troops after the winter wheat harvest. Immediately, Zhang Xuan told the matter of Xiangyang 1510, of course, there are also some Spring and Autumn brushwork, never to mention it.

In fact, Yuan Shizhong had already heard Yuan Shimin talk about it, but at the time of the incident, Yuan Shimin was not involved at all, but Zhang Xuan was in the center of the storm, the two were in different positions, and their descriptions of many places were completely different.

Yuan Shizhong pondered for a while, gritted his teeth, and said: "In this way, we will send troops tonight, and before Huang Degong comes, we will do Ma Shiying." ”

"Nope." Zhang Xuan said with a wry smile: "Big brother's thoughts, I don't know, it's just that my three battalions really can't fight." Whatever happens, they have to get them to sleep. ”

"That's all there is to it." Yuan Shizhong sighed and said, "This is a godsend." ”

Yuan Shizhong knew very well that the more than 10,000 men and horses under his command could not shake Ma Shiying's camp. The other abilities of the officers and soldiers may not be good, but there is still a lot of kung fu left to defend the city. Zhang Xuan couldn't move, so Yuan Shizhong naturally gave up.

"In that case, this western camp will be kept vigil by my Xiao Yuan camp tonight, and you let all the soldiers under your command go to rest." Yuan Shizhong said.

"Thank you, big brother." Zhang Xuan said immediately.

He went out immediately and commanded them to go down and let everyone rest.

For a while, there was no time to arrange a station, so that the battalions were stationed on the spot, and many soldiers were not assigned rooms, so they could only sleep outside and huddle near the bonfire, but now it is the fourth month of the lunar calendar, although the night is still a little cool, but it is not cold.

"Ah---

-" Zhang Xuan yawned.

In fact, when it comes to being tired, Zhang Xuan is not easier than these soldiers.

When marching, all emergencies need to be dealt with by Zhang Xuan, although Zhang Xuan has horses to travel, but in terms of sleep time, he is not more than the lowest soldiers, or even less. Zhang Xuan was extremely distressed, but Zhang Xuan also knew that this was not the time to rest.

The conclusion that he had to discuss with Yuan Shizhong was to fight and go.

Zhang Xuan returned to the barracks, and saw that Yuan Shizhong had also settled the small Yuan camp in the defense of Xizhai and returned here, obviously having something to say to Zhang Xuan, he suddenly shook his spirits and said: "Big brother, now the siege of Xiayi is broken. But in the future, what are the plans of the eldest brother? ”

"What do you have to say, might as well say it directly?" Yuan Shizhong said.

"It's fighting, it's leaving." Zhang Xuan said: "Big brother must pay attention quickly, otherwise it will be too late." Now that Liu Zeqing's department has collapsed and cut off Ma Shiying's arm, we are now more than 20,000 people, and we should be cautious to withdraw from Xiayi County, I think Ma Shiying should not pursue. ”

"Now the Vortex River is taken by the Yellow River, the silt is everywhere, not suitable for the army to walk, I have paved a road on the Vortex River, today to rest for the night, tomorrow morning, the army immediately retreated, after crossing the Vortex River, Ma Shiying did not dare to chase over."

Zhang Xuan is still a cautious person in his bones, and if possible, he tries to avoid taking risks. Now under the series of victories, Zhang Xuan not only did not get carried away, but sneered more and more, and even secretly decided that if there was really such a thing as luck, this series of victories had exhausted the qi he had accumulated.

He would rather be more stable and accept it when he sees it, rather than think about other extravagant hopes.

Yuan Shizhong sighed and said, "All the generals under Ma Shiying's command have their own strengths, but the one I am most afraid of is Huang Degong." It will take at least a few days to go to the vortex river, and I dare to say that with Huang's meritorious ability, he is waiting for us halfway? Even though you and I have a total of 30,000 people, we are by no means the opponents of the Yongwei Battalion. It's still a long-term view. ”

Zhang Xuan frowned and said, "Big brother is too high to think of Huang Degong." I know that Huang Degong's stubble is very hard, but I have an army of 30,000, including Cao Ying's headquarters to cover the fine cavalry, and Huang Degong's headquarters only has tens of thousands of horses, and in a hurry, how many can be transferred. I don't want to think about winning, but can't I get out of the way? ”

Zhang Xuan was very confident in the soldiers he had trained. After all, he relied on the tenacity of his subordinates to win many times, and this victory grew Zhang Xuan's confidence.

"I have seen the infantry battalion of the virtuous brother, which is indeed second to none among the rebels, but compared to Huang Degong, it is much worse. As for what's missing, I can't say for a while. But there must be one of the two tigers fighting

Injured, the officers and soldiers are wealthy, and there is a supplement for the loss, and you and I are a team, it is not easy to save up. Yuan Shizhong changed the topic and said: "If you want me to say, since Luo Shuai has decided to send troops after May, although the grain and grass I have hoarded in the city is a little nervous, it will not be unsupportable." And now the virtuous brother has taken Xizhai again, and Xiayi City, facing each other at the corners, sitting in the city, echoing each other, even if it is a million people, how can they endure you and me? That's the way to go. ”

Yuan Shizhong was not worried at all at this time that Luo Rucai would not come to save him, after all, Luo Rucai's good son-in-law was here, but Zhang Xuan had a little doubt in his heart again.

"Why did the big handsome come to save Xia Yi immediately." Zhang Xuan secretly figured out in his heart that he had thought that it was to eliminate Zhang Xuan's influence in Runing, but now he overthrew it again. Since Luo Rucai has already targeted Jiangnan, how can he care about the land of Runing?

This reason is not sufficient.

Can't find a reason to convince himself, Zhang Xuan has always had a worry in his heart, and it is also this worry that makes Zhang Xuan reluctant to think about it, but he has to think, what will happen if Luo Rucai doesn't come, or is late?

Zhang Xuan was fed up with the taste of his life hanging in the hands of others, and he was determined not to let his life hang on Luo Rucai's thoughts.

But how can such worries be told to Yuan Shizhong?

Zhang Xuan was distracted for a while.

Yuan Shizhong Zhang Xuan was a little distracted and said, "Brother Xian, take a good rest." You've been tired for the past few days. It's not too late to discuss tomorrow, but today we can't move our troops anyway. ”

Zhang Xuan could only send Yuan Shizhong away, and found a bed to lie on it.

At this moment, he was very sleepy, he only felt that something in his head seemed to come out of his head to cause pain, and he knew that he was very sleepy, but he couldn't sleep at all, thinking again and again, why didn't Luo Rucai send troops? I wonder how powerful Huang Degong is to make Yuan Shizhong so afraid?

Then he remembered that he asked Shen Wandeng to escort the grain and grass behind, and said secretly in his heart: "Did I have the preparation to sit in Xiayi in my heart before I brought this batch of grain?" ”

In fact, Zhang Xuan thought so much about it at that time, but he just cherished food. There are still some baggage behind, and these captives are used as free labor, so let Shen Wandeng transport them over, and let the Xiping camp be repaired by the way. After all, Zhang Xuan felt that Xiping Camp was the new camp head, not as good as the other three camp heads. I can't withstand this intensity of the battle.

Zhang Xuan thought about it, and in a trance, he finally fell asleep.

During this period of time, the crowd of ten thousand people pressed on Zhang Xuan's body, and even when he was sleeping, he was not very stable. At this moment, Yuan Shizhong was there, but he put his mind at ease and fell asleep deeply.
