0238: Zhang Yan's decision
In the Yellow Turban military camp opposite Yuci City, Zhang Yan was sitting in his tent, at this time, he was holding a book and looking at it, while a man of about 40 was explaining to him.
After a long while, Zhang Yancai waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's stop here today......
Hearing this, the man bowed to Zhang Yan and left quickly.
After he left, a man in his 20s walked in, his name was Chu Kun, one of the friends who left Zhending with Zhang Yan in the past, and now, he is one of the generals under Zhang Yan.
"General, there is still no movement in Yuci City today." Chu Kun said respectfully.
"Hmm." Zhang Yan nodded when she heard this, and then she was still holding the book and looking at it, and she kept chattering in her mouth, listening carefully, but it was the content that the man who left just now explained to Zhang Yan.
Seeing this, Chu Kun asked with a strange face, "General, my subordinates are brave, it's just that the general led 100,000 troops to suppress Taiyuan, but now he is ......" Speaking of this, Chu Kun didn't continue, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan immediately laughed and said, "I told you a long time ago that you must study more when you have the opportunity, but I also specially found a master for you, and you turned out to be ......" In the end, Zhang Yan shook his head, obviously helpless.
"Hehe, there's no way, the man said those words, and his subordinates understood every word, but they really couldn't understand it when they were connected." Chu Kun said with a smile.
But then, he looked at Zhang Yan with a hesitant expression, and asked cautiously, "General, we've been here for a long time......
Hearing this, Zhang Yan glanced at Chu Kun amusedly, "Do you want to ask why there is no action except for the tentative attack on the first day?" ”
Hearing Zhang Yan's words, Chu Kun nodded and said, "Although no one shows it, I always feel ...... in my heart."
Without waiting for Chu Kun to finish speaking, Zhang Yan interrupted him and asked rhetorically, "Then what do you think is the chance of our army winning if we launch an attack?" How long does it take? How many people are likely to be lost? ”
"This ......" Chu Kun immediately panicked when he heard this, and stood in place with his head bowed at a loss, obviously thinking that Zhang Yan was angry.
"Ah Kun, you also know that our current strength, although it may be stronger than the rest of the Yellow Turban Army, but how can it be compared with regular officers and soldiers? Not to mention that the person guarding Yuci City at this time was still the number one general under Li Yi, Lu Bu. And it is said that this time, Li Yi brought all the newly recruited 20,000 flying cavalry battalions. Seeing this, Zhang Yan said with a sigh, but she didn't know what she was sighing about.
"My idea is simple, just wait for the situation to be clearer. If Bai Bogu or Zhang Gong's side, or even the Hu people's side can make any progress, then I will naturally wave my troops to attack the city, but if they fail......" Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "Then I can only retreat to Montenegro." ”
Hearing this, Chu Kun looked up at Zhang Yan and opened his mouth, and finally said respectfully, "My subordinates understand." ”
"Well, go ahead." Zhang Yan nodded and said.
After Chu Kun left, Zhang Yan slowly stood up and walked out of the tent, he silently looked at Yuci City not far away, and after a long while, he suddenly murmured, "I don't know, what will the result be?" ”
The answer was revealed a few days later.
"General, according to the Tanmalai report, there are about 10,000 officers and soldiers in the north." Chu Kun looked at Zhang Yan with some panic and said.
"Oh? More than 10,000 people? In this way, it seems that Zhang Gong has failed......" Zhang Yan said lightly, but there was no sadness in her tone.
"General, ...... now" Chu Kun saw Zhang Yan's appearance, and inexplicably felt a chill. This chill made him can't help but want to stay away from Zhang Yan, but he had to ask again.
"Withdraw to Montenegro." Zhang Yan said lightly, "Since Zhang Gong has failed, it doesn't make much sense for us to continue to stay here." ”
"But there are also Bai Bogu and Hu Ren......" Chu Kun was obviously a little unwilling.
"Soon there will be no ......," Zhang Yan said lightly, then waved his hand, signaling Chu Kun to do it immediately. Seeing this, Chu Kun didn't dare to say much, so he had to withdraw from the off-the-books order.
"I don't know if that Zhang Gong is dead, but it doesn't matter, since the officers and soldiers can send more than 10,000 troops to support, I'm afraid that Zhang Gong will suffer heavy losses even if he doesn't die. In this way, the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro will no longer have the power to oppose me. Yellow Turban ...... Hehe......" Zhang Yan sneered and muttered to herself.
Just after speaking, he suddenly had a headache again, "So, how should Li Yi's anger be calmed?" I just thought about it for a while, but I didn't think of any good ideas, and finally stood up and thought secretly as I walked out, "Forget it, let's talk about it then, I think that the Hu people will not lose to Li Yi so easily." ”
Inside Yuci Castle.
"What? That Zhang Yan retired from the army?! Lu Bu and Wang Yun looked at the soldiers who came to report in disbelief and shouted, and then walked quickly towards the city wall together.
"Why did you suddenly withdraw from the army?" Wang Yun looked at the Yellow Turban Army slowly retreating outside the city, and muttered with a puzzled expression.
"Could it be a feigned retreat, and when our army is ready to pursue, it will catch our army off guard?" Lu Bu said when he heard this.
"Hmm...... It's a possibility. Wang Yun nodded and said. But it could also be news from elsewhere. ”
Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up, but after pondering for a while, he still shook his head and said, "Forget it, the enemy army is in a strict formation, and there are 100,000 people, even if it is really a retreat, our army will not be able to get any advantage in pursuing." Moreover, the lord once ordered that I must not attack easily. ”
"Yes, after all, this is the gateway to Jinyang, and if something goes wrong, no one can afford this responsibility." Hearing this, Wang Yun nodded in response.
The two of you said a word, and I just watched the Yellow Turban Army gradually disappear into their eyes. Although it is a pity, there is nothing to be done. Speaking of which, Lu Bu actually wanted to pursue very much in his heart, but although he had 20,000 flying cavalry battalions, all of them were just recruits, and it was okay to defend the city, but he really pursued...... In Lu Bu's opinion, it was almost no different from sending him to death.
In a few more days, Dian Wei led his army to Yuci.
"Fengxian, Wang Jun, why didn't you see that Zhang Yan's troops?" After Dian Wei entered the city, he looked at Lu Bu and the others and asked suspiciously.
"Haha! Naturally, after getting the news that Zigang and you were leading the army to come, they retreated directly. Lu Bu laughed when he heard this, "Moreover, I have two pieces of good news, Zigang, you can guess?" As he spoke, Lu Bu looked at Dian Wei with a narrow expression.
