Chapter 44: The Hero Sees the Difference

Zhang Xuan didn't speak, but the expression on his face had already revealed everything. He himself knew this, and said loudly: "Zhang Yuanhai." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yuanhai said loudly.

"There shall not be a man within fifty paces, and no one shall be commanded to come near." Zhang Xuan said.

"Yes." Zhang Yuanhai agreed, and then the sound of armor colliding was far away. For a while, there were only three people left here, Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan straightened his thoughts and said secretly: "Now that the matter has come to this, I'm afraid I can't hide it." He sighed and said, "That's right, I think my father-in-law is in danger, and it's been in the next few months." ”

"There are no two days, there are no two masters in the country, Cao Cao should have known this a long time ago." Zhang Zhen sneered: "He doesn't change his course, it's too normal for something to happen." ”

Zhang Zhen has always looked down on Luo Rucai, no, he even looked down on Li Zicheng, if it wasn't for Zhang Xuan to find a way to get Zhang Zhen on the thief ship, he wouldn't have worked for the rogue.

"Didn't the general persuade Cao Shuai?" Cao Zongyu said.

Unlike Zhang Qian, Cao Zongyu had a time under Luo Rucai, and that period of time was still Luo Rucai's low tide period. was driven by Yang Sichang to run all over the mountains, the more this is the case, the more Luo Rucai has to win people's hearts, and he is quite good to the soldiers, Cao Zongyu and Rui Luo Rucai have some contempt, but it can't be said that there is no emotion.

"Why didn't I persuade?" When Zhang Xuan thought of this, he was still full of discomfort, and said: "I have persuaded him I don't know how many times to fight with Li Zi, but he doesn't listen, what can I do?" What can I do? ”

Zhang Xuan was angry, and his voice couldn't help but get louder.

"It's a little late to say that now." Zhang Zhen was the most calm, began to analyze the situation in front of him, and said: "I don't know where the general analyzed it, although I can see that Chuang Ying and Cao Ying will have to do a battle sooner or later, but I can't be sure that it will be within these months, because for Li Zicheng, it is too early to do this in these months." It can be seen that Li Zicheng is not a successful person, but what is the general going to do? ”

Zhang Xuan has thought a lot about this, and he also wants to hear what the people in the world think at this moment. said: "I'm so confused that I haven't paid much attention to it for a long time, and I asked my eldest brother to teach me." ”

"If you want to be a general, you won't take refuge in Li Zicheng." Zhang Zhen said.

"Exactly." Zhang Xuan said.

"Then the general should go to Xiangyang now." Zhang Xuan's words were not shocking, and this sentence frightened Zhang Xuan.

"How is that possible?" Without Zhang Xuan to speak, Cao Zongyu had already spoken, and said, "I know that Xiangyang is in the tiger's den in Longtan at the moment, how can I go?" ”

"Nope

Correct. Zhang Zhen said: "First of all, this thing didn't happen so quickly, what the general did was to go to Luo Rucai and persuade Luo Rucai to part ways with King Chuang again." ”

"It didn't work." Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "If it was useful, I wouldn't wait until today." ”

"It's not for Luo Ru to see." Zhang Zhen said with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "It's for Cao Ying to see." ”

"Luo Rucai has been in the world for decades, and he still has some capital under his command, and Luo Rucai only has one son and one daughter, if I were Li Zicheng, when I launched, who would leave, I wouldn't Tang Luo Rucai and Luo Yulong left."

"As soon as Luo Rucai and Luo Yulong died, Cao Ying naturally talked about the general's succession. With Luo Rucai's prestige, even if Li Zicheng can kill Luo Rucai, it is impossible to accept Cao Ying safely. At that time, the general held high the banner of Cao Ying in Runing. At that time, naturally the rest of Cao Ying's troops will come to defect to the general. It's not good, just one or two thousand elite soldiers need to defect, and the general's strength will be very different. ”

Zhang Zhen's eyes had a hot feeling at the moment, and said: "I know that the general doesn't look down on the imperial court, but after all, the imperial court still uses some family funds, and the general inherits the rest of Cao Ying, and he will definitely be evil, and if he doesn't defect to the imperial court, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive in the righteous army now." ”

"It's just a matter of existence. If the imperial court can assist, it is natural that An An will be divided into chief military officers, and if the imperial court cannot assist, the general may not be able to make this general soldier into a festival envoy. ”

The festival envoy mentioned by Zhang Zhen is definitely not the festival envoy sealed by Li Zicheng, but the feudal town at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Xuan's heart moved slightly when he heard this, but then he shook his head and said, "Runing is not a place to stay for a long time. ”

"Are you still afraid of bargaining with the imperial court?" Zhang Zhen smiled slightly.

"You said to watch it for a long time, it's still too dangerous." Cao Zongyu said: "In case, if it happens to collide, wouldn't it be nine deaths?" And if we want to defect to the imperial court, we are now with more than 10,000 elite soldiers, can't we get a chief military officer, and it is better to be safe. ”

Zhang Xuan hesitated in his heart, and he didn't know who to listen to.

Zhang Xuan didn't think about getting any benefits from the Xiangyang Revolution before, but Zhang Zhen made Zhang Xuan have to face a reality, that is, once Luo Rucai was killed by Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai's son-in-law could bring him as much benefit and disadvantage.

With his current strength, it is difficult to stand on his own. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the exception between the officers and the army and the camp is not people.

"It would be nice if Luo Ru could survive the Xiangyang Change." As soon as Zhang Xuan's thought came to him, he grew like a weed, knowing that it was impossible, but Zhang Xuan couldn't help but think about it.

There are tens of thousands of elites in Cao Ying, but there is no defeat for Ma Shiying

Any problem, attacking Jiangnan, there is a high chance that it can be defeated, and after Dingding Jiangnan, as long as it is fought steadily, no matter how bad it is, there will be a situation of the North and South Dynasties.

It's much better than now, and his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses can't find a direction in the troubled times. No grand strategy can be formulated, because there are too many factors that affect Zhang Xuan.

Now the only strategy that Zhang Xuan has formulated for himself is to go south, as for where to go south? I can only adapt to the situation, take one step at a time.

"Even if you really bump into a mutiny, it's nothing," Zhang Zhen still said in a cold tone: "Cao Ying's tens of thousands of horses, how can there be many people who are loyal to Cao Cao, and the general is not going without troops, with more than 1,000 cavalry escorted by Luo Dai, even if it is a real chaos, he can kill it back." Maybe we'll be able to bring back some soldiers and horses. ”

"You're gambling with the general's life." Cao Zongyu couldn't help but say.

"Raising an army to rebel is a gamble that costs the lives of the nine clans." Zhang Zhen said: "I'm gambling, so why don't you bet a little bigger?" ”

Zhang Xuan said secretly: "It seems that Zhang Zhen is still a little unhappy with me pulling the entire Linying Zhang family onto the thief ship." ”

"Alright." Zhang Xuan suppressed them and said, "Brother Cao, big brother, don't say it, let me think about it, think about it." ”

But the more he thought about it, the more chaotic Zhang Xuan's mind became, and he didn't know where to clear his thoughts for a while.

"The general is not good, not good." Zhang Yuanhai didn't dare to disobey Zhang Xuan's order, so he could only shout loudly fifty steps away.

"Come in," Zhang Xuan called Zhang Yuanhai over. Zhang Yuanhai rushed over almost immediately, and before Zhang Yuanhai could gain a firm foothold, Zhang Xuan reprimanded sharply: "How old a person is, you can't be more steady, what happened, is it a disaster, or the house is on fire." What's yelling? ”

"It's frost, it's frost on the ground." Zhang Yuanhai said loudly.

"Isn't it normal to have frost on the ground?" Zhang Xuan said secretly: "It's unusual to be a little cold today. ”

Before Zhang Xuan could react, he heard a "bang", a chair slammed on the ground, Zhang Zhen's face was pale, and under the illumination of the light, it was as if he had seen a ghost. didn't care about any demeanor, I saw him grab Zhang Yuanhai's shirt and say loudly: "You didn't lie to me." ”

"Uncle, how dare I, it's true." Zhang Yuanhai had a little cry in his voice. When Zhang Zhen heard this, he didn't care about Zhang Xuan's presence, and immediately rushed out.

Cao Zongyu also followed, and sure enough, there was a layer of frost on the grass and trees outside.

Very common hoarfrost, a frost that is often seen in autumn and winter. But at this moment, almost all of him looked like a mourner, so Zhang Xuan immediately knew that this frost was very unusual.

But what's out of the ordinary?
