Chapter 238: Encounter Again
Zhang Liao received the order, and after leaving Bi Guiyuan, he and Xu Rong rushed back to Chenggao, where Xu Rong reorganized the army, while Zhang Liao went to Xingyang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now that the Kwantung princes have raised troops in a big way, although they have not yet converged and approached Luoyang, Xingyang and Jingxian, which are east of the Revolving Gate Pass, are no longer safe.
After arriving in Xingyang, Zhang Liao quickly retreated into the revolving gate with 6,000 soldiers under his command and reserve soldiers pretending to be prisoners and people.
When leaving Xingyang, Xingyang ordered to go out of the city to send each other, and the people outside the city also followed in the middle of the road, and they were extremely reluctant.
Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses have been stationed here for three months, and Dian Wei, an ancient evil, has served as a military discipline officer, strictly enforcing military discipline, restraining soldiers, and deterring greatly.
In particular, those reserve soldiers, under the mobilization of Zhang Liao, built roads and houses for the people of Xingyang, helped the old and weak to carry water and sprinkle sweeps, and even baked cakes and other unique foods and other practices were also spread here, so that the people's perception of this army was very different, and they really regarded it as their own children.
And these reserve soldiers, who were originally prisoners, have also been baptized and grown up in such a unique experience, coupled with the brainwashing of military teaching, they are no longer limited to fear of Zhang Liao, the legendary fierce general, but more recognition and reverence.
You must know that Zhang Liao's prestige in the Kanto region should not be underestimated, and he has been rumored to be an extremely dangerous person.
Fear and reverence, these captives can be regarded as a preliminary return, such an effect, Guo Jia is also amazed, and he agrees with Zhang Liao, the lord, as for Dian Wei and other generals with low backgrounds, there is no need to say anything, Zhang Liao convinced them with his own actions.
When they arrived at Chenggao County in the revolving gate, Zhang Liao and Xu Rong drank bitterly, but when the two went to Xuanyuan Pass and Taigu Pass, they both went south, and they were also on the same road, and Xuanyuan Pass and Taigu Pass were only dozens of miles apart, which was considered adjacent, and the two could take care of each other.
On the same day, Lu Bu came with more than 6,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and Zhang Liao and Lu Bu had not seen each other for several months since they won over Gao Shun.
When the tiger prison was closed, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao looked to the east, and Lu Bu, who was originally full of energy, was a little emotional at this time, and sighed: "Wen Yuan, when he was a brother who belonged to Xiangguo, he was appointed as a cavalry captain, a 2,000-stone official, and commanded 6,000 soldiers and horses, which can be said to be satisfactory, and Wen Yuan was attached, and his position at that time was just a fake Sima, and there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses. But now, I am a lieutenant general, and Wen Yuan is also a captain, both have two thousand stone ranks, and my soldiers and horses are still 6,000, and Wen Yuan has gone through many battles, and there are 16,000 soldiers and horses, which is completely ashamed of my brother. ”
There is another sentence that Lu Bu didn't say, Zhang Liao's rapid increase in force shocked him even more, to their realm, it is extremely difficult to increase the force by one point, but Zhang Liao has improved too fast! This made him, who has always been proud of his force, quite devastated.
And what made Lu Bu even more depressed was that Dong Zhuo looked at him too closely, he was always bound by Dong Zhuo's side, and he couldn't fight outside like Zhang Liao and expand wantonly. In fact, if he was like Zhang Liao, he started lower at the beginning and had few soldiers, maybe it would not make Dong Zhuo jealous and have more opportunities. It's a pity that he started high at the beginning, and the development opportunities are not as good as Zhang Liao.
This is where Lu Bu envies Zhang Liao.
But Lu Bu didn't know that success was not luck alone, Zhang Liao's rapid development outside was not just an opportunity, there was also a very important factor, that is, as soon as Zhang Liao arrived under Dong Zhuo, he keenly adopted the strategy of "distant generals, close advisers", coupled with his ability to drink and pull relationships, and cheeky approach, Li Ru and Tian Yi didn't know how many good things they said for Zhang Liao in front of Dong Zhuo, and how many times they helped the situation. At the same time, Zhang Liao's conflict with Hu Zhen and other generals, as well as his repeated behavior of risking death and making speeches, made him gain more trust from Dong Zhuo, which was much stronger than Lu Bu's low-brow and pleasing posture.
Zhang Liao saw Lu Bu's envious, jealous and hateful posture, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Fengxian, you are a Zhonglang general, you are already above the junior brother, and the six thousand soldiers and horses under your command are all elites in my and state, who have been in bloody battles for a long time, have rich experience, and are unstoppable!" ”
After that, he shook his head again and again: "And the younger brother is only 6,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and most of them are new soldiers, and it is okay to fight a surprise battle, and the battle is very different from the elite of the first brother Feng, and the remaining 10,000 people are all prisoners, untrained, and can only do some chores such as carrying baggage, farming and cooking, what is it." For example, Brother Feng is a tiger with 6,000 wolves, and the younger brother has 10,000 sheep, so it is 100,000 sheep, how can it be compared to 6,000 wolves? ”
"Hahahaha......" When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, pointed at Zhang Liao, and shook his head again and again: "Wen Yuan's words are interesting, although my brother knows that this is not the case, but he is in a good mood to listen to it, Wen Yuan's tongue is better than the hook and sickle in his hand?" ”
Zhang Liao smiled, on the one hand, he didn't want Lu Bu to feel guilty, on the other hand, what he said was also the truth, he knew that he started late, and his subordinates were all recruits, and he didn't have an advantage at all in the formation battle, so the main training was night fighting, and he fought strategy and night attacks in several battles, relying on this advantage to fight all over the world, but as the enemy understood him, the effect of the night attack would get worse and worse, and he would eventually turn to the battle of the formation.
However, he naturally didn't say these things to Lu Bu, but changed the topic: "This time, the Kwantung princes raised troops, and the main battlefield was in this tiger prison, and the prime minister entrusted him with a heavy task, I don't know if Brother Feng Xian can have a way to deal with it?"
Lu Bu said proudly: "A group of rabble in the Kanto region, what a way, a certain person regards it as a mustard ear!"
Lu Bu is a proud and confident person, in his opinion, his strength is above Zhang Liao, and his soldiers and horses are more elite than Zhang Liao, and even Zhang Liao can defeat the Kwantung princes several times, so he doesn't have to be afraid.
Zhang Liao nodded, he never doubted Lu Bu's combat effectiveness, this guy usually seems to be brainless, but on the battlefield it is completely different, born a general, not only brave and good at fighting, but also has a lot of tricks, and can see the weakness of the enemy formation at a glance, charging into battle, invincible.
"However, Hu Zhen is not easy to get along with." Zhang Liao mentioned that he knew Lu Bu's character and had no hope at all for the cooperation between Lu Bu and Hu Zhen.
Lu Bu sneered and said: "The Qianghu soldiers have always rejected me and the state soldiers, how can this person be the only one, if he is looking for trouble, how can I be afraid of him!" ”
Zhang Liao could only shake his head.
Since Lu Bu had arrived at the Spiral Gate Pass, Zhang Liao and Xu Rong did not stop here, and went south on the same day.
However, on the way, they met Hu Zhen unexpectedly, and the two teams staggered by, Zhang Liao not only saw Hu Zhen, but also saw Hua Xiong, who had been heard for a long time, but the two looked at him with the same fierceness and resentment.
Even the Qiang Hu soldiers under Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong recognized Zhang Liao, the legendary murderer, many of them had seen Zhang Liao fight Hua Xiong, many people had seen Zhang Liao fight Hu Zhen, many people had seen Zhang Liao kill his comrades who were wantonly taken during migration, and many people had moved books for Zhang Liao, which could be said to be very impressive to Zhang Liao.
Hua Xiong looked at Zhang Liao and yelled: "Zhang Liao! Dare to fight a certain battle! He was beaten by Zhang Liao with his bare hands and broke his tendons, and he lay on the couch for more than three months, and it took half a year to recover.
Zhang Liao saw that Hu Zhen had no objection, so he couldn't help grinning, and looked at Dian Wei on the side: "Brother Dian, how about accompanying him through two moves?" (To be continued.) )
