As soon as Zhang Liao heard this, he knew that Yang Xiu's psychology still had a big problem, he did not come out of this defeat, but because of this defeat, he had some self-defeating heart, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Dezu has been following the lord for a long time, and the achievements he has made are not on this battlefield, so there is no need to compare with people like us who are fighting in front of the battle, if so, what is the use of strategizing for ministers?" ”

Zhang Liao's words of persuasion, Yang Xiu only smiled bitterly after listening to it, looking at Zhang Liao's face with a somewhat anxious expression, Yang Xiu knew that the general in front of him who had made great contributions to the Wei State was not deliberately sarcastic, but sincerely persuaded him, but the more Zhang Liao was like this, the stronger the sense of shame in Yang Xiu's heart.

"What General Wen Yuan said is very true, but if Xiu Ruo is called a strategist, he does have a trace of proud capital, compared with that Sima Zhongda, it is not in vain, but with the talent of the strategist, he insisted on leading the troops to go out to fight, and the lives of the 300,000 army were treated as child's play, resulting in heavy losses for our Wei army, but it was something I had to bear......"

Obviously, before summoning Zhang Liao to his tent, Yang Xiu had already thought about all the mistakes he had made during this expedition, and it was even more obvious that he no longer had the heart to make any impulsive decisions and moves.

Zhang Liao was keenly aware of this, although he came with the idea of preventing Yang Xiu from attacking again and wanting to persuade Yang Xiu to withdraw from the army, but he didn't want to belittle Yang Xiu, in Zhang Liao's opinion, although Yang Xiu was not suitable for leading troops to fight, but naturally he also had some of his own specialties, after all, Yang Xiu became famous at a young age, and not all of what he relied on was stealing and cheating.

"After Dezu returned this time, if he can cherish the lessons brought by this battle, the casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers are not in vain, the lord's trust in Dezu is beyond the reach of no one in the whole country of my Wei State, and Dezu should not sink here, if there is no Dezu to hinder him, how can the lord take Sima Yi from a critical position with a Yingchuan matter? The Sima family's power is intertwined, and the reason why the lord is reluctant to let him control the military power is mostly because once he is allowed to make his fortune, it will be difficult to control, but after this defeat, I am afraid that no one in my Wei country except Sima Yi can confront Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang, so Sima Yi's comeback has almost become a foregone conclusion. ”

Zhang Liao was afraid that Yang Xiu would fall into a sinking, and hurriedly stated his interests to him, for Cao Zhi, the relationship between Sima Yi and Yang Xiu, Zhang Liao had already seen it through under his cold eyes, Sima Yi was a courtier who was drawn from Cao Pi's side, plus Sima Fang was originally Jing Zhaoyin of the Han Dynasty, with great power and a wide range of contacts, Cao Zhi was not as good at fighting as Cao Cao, once Sima Yi was reused, the final result was very likely to be unable to suppress his development, resulting in the decline of the Cao family.

After listening to Zhang Liao's heartfelt words, Yang Xiu's eyes finally regained some clarity, and at this time, he could finally be sure that although Zhang Liao may not agree with his ability to lead the army to fight, he and Zhang Liao are still comrades-in-arms standing on the same front, because they are all loyal to Cao Zhi and loyal to the Wei State, and the meaning of Zhang Liao's words is naturally that if Cao Zhi has to reactivate Sima Yi as a last resort, he will naturally control and monitor Sima Yi with Yang Xiu. In case he will do something unfavorable to the Cao clan after he holds power.

After Zhang Liao's words were said for a long time, Yang Xiucai raised his eyes to look at Zhang Liao's earnest gaze and asked in a deep voice: "General Wenyuan thinks that if he hands over these armies to Sima Yi to command, he will definitely be able to win the battle against Liu Feng?" ”

Obviously, for Sima Yi, Yang Xiu still has thousands of resentments in his heart, he doesn't believe that in the face of Liu Feng, who is a general, just replacing the coach with Sima Yi can receive immediate results, although Yang Xiu is really not good at leading troops to fight, but through these hours of fighting, he also deeply feels Liu Feng's ability, he knows that if he encounters an ordinary enemy, he will never end up with such a tragic end.

"Victory against Liu Feng...... I'm afraid that even if he gives Zhuge Liang 300,000 troops, he doesn't dare to boast of such a sea mouth, Liu Feng's out-of-the-box birth, it can almost be said that it directly changed the situation in the Central Plains, if there is no Liu Feng, Sun Quan, Liu Zhang and other forces will never be able to perish so quickly, Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang are all unborn geniuses, although now my Wei State occupies the largest territory, but if Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang can not be eliminated in a short period of time, most of our advantages will be eaten away by them a little bit, a few years later, It's hard to say where the situation is going, so Dezu doesn't have to be anxious, this time after I withdraw the army and go back, the lord will definitely arrange for Sima Yi or others to use troops against Liu Feng again, and at that time, what kind of ability Sima Yi is, Dezu will naturally know. ”

After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Yang Xiu sighed again, he knew that Zhang Liao's words were comforting him, if Sima Yi led so many troops to be defeated by Liu Feng again, then the generals of the Wei State, who could help Liu Feng, what kind of result would bring, Yang Xiu never dared to imagine. For a while, he hoped that Sima Yi could achieve the same result as himself, and hoped that Sima Yi could be truly loyal to Cao Zhi, and then destroy Liu Feng and make Wei the real master of China.

Zhang Liao looked at Yang Xiu's tangled face, and didn't know what Yang Xiu was thinking about for a while, so he immediately turned his heart sideways, and then said: "Since you and I have opened our hearts today, there is one thing, I don't know if I should talk about it......"

Who knew that before Zhang Liao finished his sentence, Yang Xiu had already raised his head suddenly, and said solemnly to Zhang Liao: "Please General Wenyuan give an order on my behalf, let the remaining sergeants in the camp have a full meal today, and set off to return to Luoyang tomorrow, and wait to see the lord, you don't have to excuse me, the responsibility for the failure of this expedition is all on me, no matter what kind of punishment the lord is, Xiu will bear it with all his might!" ”

Yang Xiu was able to say such a thing, which Zhang Liao never expected, and he felt in his heart that this was not the Yang Xiu he was familiar with, but he still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least the lives of the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops were saved at this time, and the vitality of the Wei army was not seriously injured, and it was unknown if it made a comeback.
