Chapter 457: Rushing back to help

But this time, Zhang Liao, who had never had any doubts about Yang Xiu's strategy before, stood up for the first time and refuted Yang Xiu's decision made in such an angry mood.

"Liu Feng is a very treacherous person, if he hadn't discovered the large siege equipment that our army had placed here, how could he personally lead the army out of the city to take action? In my opinion, this time they attacked our army camp, most of them were a strategy to attack the east and the west, although Liu Feng thought that our army would set up an ambush here, but these equipment in the depression was something he had to fear, so this time Liu Feng sent troops, most of the purpose is still on this equipment! ”

Before Zhang Liao's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yang Xiu, who was pacing on the ground, waved his hand, and retorted loudly: "These instruments are just some waste things in our army, originally just to lead Liu Feng to the scheme, at this time there are nearly 50,000 troops in our military camp, if Liu Feng personally goes out, there must be a lot of sergeants with him, how can we delay the fighter here regardless of the safety of tens of thousands of troops?" ”

Yang Xiu's military talent is not very outstanding, but this sophistry talent is excellent, these words came out, Zhang Liaoqi's seven orifices smoked, but for a while he was a little helpless, there several times he opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say it, Zhang Liao knew that the reason why Cao Zhi made him Yang Xiu's deputy was because he had rich combat experience, and the other was to use his high prestige in the army to help Yang Xiu, if he was now in such a public and crisis moment with Yang Xiu, Neither of them ended well.

But looking at the siege equipment placed in the depression, the experience formed on the battlefield for many years told Zhang Liao that the reason why Liu Feng sent troops on this night, in addition to consuming their troops, will definitely put a large part of his attention on these equipment, if he is replaced by Liu Feng, this attack on the camp will most likely be a plan to attack the east and west, if these siege equipment can be transported back to Jingzhou, it can naturally be compared to tens of thousands of troops, of course, The premise is that Liu Feng doesn't know that these instruments are broken and unusable flower shelves.

"Liao implores the general, assign me some men and horses to wait here, once things really change, it is better to leave a room!"

After that, Zhang Liao knelt down directly on one knee in front of Yang Xiu, and there was a great sense that if Yang Xiu couldn't agree, he wouldn't give up.

All Yang Xiu was thinking about at this time was that Liu Feng was killing in his camp at this time, and he wanted to lead the army back to help, and see if he could leave Liu Feng here, seeing that Zhang Liao couldn't get along with himself like this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, and then hurriedly said: "Divide 10,000 horses with you, plus thousands of people in the depression, just continue to ambush here!" ”

After that, Yang Xiu greeted him directly, and left with Xu Chu and other generals, leaving only 10,000 foot soldiers to Zhang Liao.

Looking at the back of Yang Xiu and the others leaving in a hurry, Zhang Liao couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, even if he was loyal to Cao Wei again, he also felt the passivity of this battle in his heart, he knew that even if Cao Zhi made him the commander of the 300,000 army, he would definitely not end up in such an embarrassing situation, Yang Xiu had no actual combat experience, and whenever the strategy he came up with didn't work, he would immediately mess up, so under the situation that Liu Feng took the lead step by step, it was not easy to turn the situation around.

Originally, Zhang Liao wanted to let Yang Xiu and Xu Chu lead an army of 100,000 to return to the camp to rescue, and the rest of the sergeants were left to himself, since Liu Feng had already caused such a big movement in the camp, then the army he led would not be too small even if it was less than 40,000 or 50,000, so he led an army of 50,000 to stay here, no matter how many people could take advantage of the hands of those who plotted these weapons.

And once the time comes, Zhang Liao can still lead the 50,000 or so men and horses to Wancheng City to go down to the siege of Wei to save Zhao, once the troops in Wancheng are all transferred out of the city by Liu Feng, then it is not known to directly break Wancheng, but Yang Xiu obviously did not think carefully about what Zhang Liao proposed, how can it be done with only 15,000 soldiers and horses?

With endless sighs, Zhang Liao had no choice but to lead more than 10,000 people and horses to continue to set up ambushes in this forest according to his own ideas, he had already made up his mind in his heart, if Liu Feng sent more men and horses to snatch the siege equipment, he must try his best to consume Liu Feng's soldiers, even if the 15,000 people were lost, if they could kill more than 10,000 Wancheng defenders, it could be regarded as saving a lot of face for this dispatch.

At the same time, Zhang Liao's heart had formed an idea at this time, that is, no matter what the success or failure of this battle was, when he returned to Luoyang after the battle, he must make it clear to Cao Zhi that Yang Xiu was not the right person for the commander, if Yang Xiu was not replaced, even if Wei had strong troops, how many 300,000 troops could Yang Xiu consume so much?

When Sima Yi used troops in Hefei before, Zhang Liao was watching from his side, and at that time he found that Sima Yi definitely had extraordinary talent in using soldiers, far more than Yang Xiu, but since Cao Zhi was not at ease with Sima Yi's loyalty, and it was true that there was a matter of Yingchuan in the court, so Zhang Liao also supported Cao Zhi to put people who were truly loyal to himself and Wei in a more important position, but people like Yang Xiu who couldn't support the wall with mud really couldn't give him another chance. Otherwise, once the advantage of the comparative strength falls to Liu Feng's side, it will be difficult for Wei State, and the ability of Liu Feng and his generals is still clear to Zhang Liao.

When Zhang Liao was waiting for the arrival of the enemy army in a complicated mood, Yang Xiu had already dragged his tired body and chaotic mind, and went straight to his camp with the same heavy legs and feet.

When he was still two or three miles away from the camp, he could see the sky-high fire in the direction of the camp, which was still vaguely spreading, Yang Xiu secretly screamed that it was not good, and then led the army to speed up, he was still looking forward to the sergeants who were left in the camp by himself to escape more, but obviously, Liu Feng would not give them too many opportunities to escape.

At this time, in the Wei military camp, Liu Feng and Zhao Yun were still carrying out their cover-up, even though Liu Feng's heart was not very happy to cause such a big killing, but the four big words of becoming a king and defeating Kou echoed in his mind from time to time, he knew that consuming the number of Wei soldiers was the most beneficial thing for himself now, and since ancient times, war has been like this, since he has come to this era, it is either adaptation, or the fate of being eliminated.
