Chapter 637: The Prey Is Finally Here
Wen Ping was also overjoyed after hearing Zhang Xiu's words, he originally asked casually, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiu to really say yes.
"Bo Yuan, come and hear it, what are your ideas?" Wen Ping immediately looked at Zhang Xiu and said with a smile.
I have to say that the speed of this Wenpin's face change is still very fast, because of Hu Che'er's loss for a while, he was still very unhappy, with a black face.
It's as if everyone owes him money.
However, Zhang Xiu is used to such a change in Wenpin, and he doesn't care, anyway, what he is doing now is not just for Liu Biao.
Of course, it won't be just for him.
Nowadays, there are a lot of things that Wenpin wants to scruple about.
"We were demoralized today with a big defeat, so what if we take this opportunity to attack Runan?"
Zhang Xiu didn't continue to sell Guanzi, so he looked at Wen Ping directly and said.
As soon as Zhang Xiu's words came out, he soon understood what Zhang Xiu meant.
Today they have already lost a game, and it is still today that the army has just arrived in Runan, so it can be said that today is the time when they are at their lowest.
According to the art of war, at this time, you can only stay in the village, gradually delay, and eliminate the opponent's sharpness.
Therefore, Zhang Xiu said that it would be difficult to predict that he would attack Runan at this time.
If you change the situation between yourself and the other party now, then you will definitely not worry about the other party's sneak attack.
Even if you don't invest in them, it's a good thing.
"Bo Yuan, this matter will be done according to what you say, otherwise, when Liu Qi Gongzi comes, he will definitely be dissatisfied."
Wen Ping glanced at Zhang Xiu and then said, this strategy was proposed by Zhang Xiu, so naturally he was in charge.
Zhang Xiu looked at Wen Ping, of course he knew Wen Ping's thoughts, and now his own thoughts, although they can be said to be unexpected.
At least Zhang Xiu thinks so, but this also has a shortcoming.
That is the low morale and the fatigue of the soldiers, which is true, and according to the art of war, both of which are taboo in soldiers.
So Zhang Xiu knew that Wen Ping was afraid, what was he afraid of, of course, he was afraid that a soldier in such a state would fail.
Wen Ping wants to minimize his own responsibility, once he succeeds, Wen Ping as the Lord will give him so little credit.
I have to say that Wen Ping's mind is also accurate.
Of course, Zhang Xiu herself knows that such a thing cannot rely on others at all.
Zhang Xiu said a few words to Wen Ping, and then he turned around and left the big tent.
This time when he went to attack Runan City, he naturally wanted to discuss the matter of sending troops with the people under his command.
"My lord." In Hu Che'er's big tent, Hu Che'er saluted when he saw Zhang Xiu coming.
"Hmm." Zhang Xiu nodded, "How is it, are your injuries healed now?" ”
"Thank you for your concern, the last general is already much better, as long as the last general pays attention, Hua Xiong will definitely not be given a chance next time."
Hu Che'er looked at Zhang Xiu and said solemnly, obviously this failure made Hu Che'er also remember it.
That's why Hu Che'er is so unconvinced, but this is also understandable.
"Well, I believe you." Zhang Xiu looked at Hu Che'er and nodded and said.
"By the way, my lord, did you come here so late just to inquire about my injuries?"
Soon, Hu Che'er looked at Zhang Xiu and asked, but he didn't believe that Zhang Xiu would do this.
"That's nature." Zhang Xiu smiled and nodded.
"You're so self-reliant, then I'll leave."
Zhang Xiu originally planned to let Hu Che'er go with him, but saw that Hu Che'er's injuries had not healed.
So Zhang Xiu didn't speak, although Zhang Xiu knew that as long as he spoke, Hu Che'er would definitely send troops with him.
But it was precisely because of this that Zhang Xiu didn't want Hu Che'er to go later, because he didn't want to take this risk.
At night, although Wen Ping didn't go in person, he still looked at Zhang Xiu with great concern and began to instruct.
Although Zhang Xiu didn't agree with this kind of behavior in his heart, he had no choice but to endure it at this time.
The night was majestic, and the moonlight was not obvious, as if all this was specially prepared for Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu was also happy when she saw it, it seems that even God is helping herself this time.
However, when Zhang Xiu led the men and horses to the city of Runan, he soon found that he had the wrong idea.
For the only thing that awaited him in Runan was the torches that shone like the day, and the rows of archers.
"Zhang Xiu, the military advisor has already calculated that you will sneak attack."
Hua Xiong looked at Zhang Xiu below with a stunned face at the head of the city.
Of course, Zhang Xiu didn't know that the military advisor Hua Xiong was talking about was actually Zhuge Liang.
He always thought it was Xun You, and he suddenly became a little angry in his heart.
Originally, according to what Jia Xu said before, he could do the opposite, as long as he was surprised, then he could become a surprise soldier.
But he found that it was not the same thing when he used it, where was he a strange soldier, he was simply sent to the door to be beaten.
As soon as Zhang Xiu's thought arose, the rain of arrows on the city tower was already shooting towards them.
Zhang Xiu led people to try to rush a few times, but all of them ended in failure.
Zhang Xiu knew that if he wanted to sneak attack Runan at this time, there would definitely be no chance.
After Hua Xiong repelled Zhang Xiu, he immediately turned around with a smile and went down from the city and returned to the mansion.
"Zhuge Military Master is really clever, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid our losses tonight would be not small."
Hua Xiong looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile on his face.
Zhuge Liang just smiled and didn't say much.
For him, this is not a difficult thing, so even if Hua Xiong showed a lot of admiration, he didn't say much.
"Kong Ming, we repelled Zhang Xiu's army this time, I'm afraid that in the next two days, they won't continue to attack Runan."
Xun You looked at Zhuge Liang and then said, the two failures have not been a small blow to the morale of Wenpin and them.
"It shouldn't be in the last two days." Zhuge Liang also nodded.
As the vanguard troops, now that they have lost twice in a row, if they are not sure of victory, then they can only wait for Liu Qi to lead the army to come.
And Liu Qi is Zhuge Liang's task this time, to swallow Liu Biao's attack on Runan this time, and then take Liu Qi down.
Everything was as Zhuge Liang expected, and in the next two days, Wen Ping and Zhang Xiu really did not choose to attack.
The two defeats made Wen Ping dare not continue to act, but he knew Liu Qi's expectations.
If he continues to lose, then when Liu Qi comes, he may not be able to eat and leave.
Liu Qi led the people, and at this time he finally stepped into the realm of Runan.
Looking at everything in front of him, Liu Qi felt even more proud, because in his opinion, all this would be his.
In his opinion, he will be able to take Runan immediately, and then take Yuzhou in one fell swoop.
"Childe, not far ahead, after Luoshan, it is already the camp of General Wenpin."
The spies who were sent out by Liu Qi were already back at this time, and then looked at Liu Qi and reported.
"Well, in that case, let's keep marching." After listening to the soldier's words, Liu Qi smiled and raised his hand to speak.
Originally, he was still a little worried about whether he would encounter an ambush in Luoshan in front of him, but now there is no need to worry.
Wen Ping and Zhang Xiu's camp was already in the front, and it was obviously a difficult thing to cross them and set up an ambush in Luoshan.
Even if they really have a way to set up an ambush in Luoshan, when the time comes, Wen Ping's army will flank them with them, I am afraid that they will lose more than they gain by then.
Liu Qi almost didn't make any stops, he led the men and horses directly towards Luoshan, passed through Luoshan and came to the camp.
Wen Ping and Zhang Xiu naturally didn't dare to slack off when they saw Liu Qi coming, and personally went out of the big tent to greet them.
"General Wen, General Zhang, why did you two fail to take Runan?" Liu Qi asked.
"The prey has finally arrived." On the other side, Zhuge Liang stood at the head of the city and sighed.
