The strength of Cao's traditional offensive method is to attack the enemy's main force, which can quickly destroy most of the enemy's troops and quickly reduce the enemy's defensive ability. The disadvantage is that there will be troubles in the future, because it is normal for a county to have more than 10 counties and more than 20 counties, and a county like Nanyang County has nearly 40 counties, and if the enemy leads the way to other counties, it will soon resurge.

Therefore, where Cao Cao occupies, there are often a large number of rebellions.

The strength of Zhang Yi's offensive method is that he can stabilize the place, and if he hits a place, he will send some people to garrison it. Coupled with effective policies, local stability can be achieved. The disadvantage is that the speed of the march is not fast, and the enemy army is easy to gather superior forces.

Zhang Yi's way to make up for it is to use elite soldiers, no matter how the other party gathers superior forces, it will not be able to establish too many advantages.

Just like Cao Ren now, even if there are 20,000 more than Lu Meng, he is still in a stalemate with Lu Meng.

There was a stalemate everywhere, and Zhang Yi also marched from Xiyang to Shansang. After arriving in Shansang, Zhang Yi sent Wang Jian to attack the southern counties of Peiguo, and then he went from Gongxian, Zhuyi, Yongqiu, and Wuxian to Pengcheng to join Tanghe.

Wang Jian walked from Shansang, to the south Longkang, to Xiangxian, Hongxian, Huxian, Guyang, Qixian, Fuli, and then to Xiangxian County, the seat of Peiguo. There were not many people in these counties in the south of Peiguo, and there was no one on Cao's side, so Wang Jian came to an armed march and subdued these counties in less than five days.

Zhang Yi went outside Pengcheng and joined Tang He.

"See Your Majesty!" When Tang He and the others saw Zhang Yi coming, they immediately bowed down to greet him.

Zhang Yi was dressed in a golden helmet and armor, and jumped off his horse, "Get up!" ”

"How? Zhang Liao is a tough bone, right? Zhang Yi asked with a smile.

Tang He nodded, "Zhang Liao is indeed a famous general, these days, although we have the upper hand, but we can't take a big advantage." ”

"Zhang Liao is known as Zhaohu, not an easy person." Zhang Yi said: "If he hadn't followed Lu Bu in his early years, he would have become famous a long time ago." Cao Ren is the first general under Cao Cao, but Zhang Liao is not much inferior to Cao Ren. In addition to Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan, Cao Cao had five good generals, namely Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Le Jin. Other than that, the rest of the people, etc., are not to be feared. ”

"What about the embroidery?" Tang He asked, "Zhang Xiu is coming from Langxie for reinforcements. ”

"Huh!" Zhang Yi smiled, "My clan brother! He's a fierce general, but he's not a good general. He still has a set of cavalry leaders, but his wisdom is not very sufficient. ”

Wang Meng suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since Zhang Xiu is related to Your Majesty, I don't know if I can recruit him over?" ”

Zhang Yi thought thoughtfully, "If there is a person who can speak well, it will not be difficult to convince him." ”

"I'm willing to give it a try!" Wang Meng arched his hand and said.

Zhang Yi thought about it, Wang Meng is not famous now, so he shouldn't attract attention. So he nodded, "Since you want to give it a try, let's go for it!" ”

Wang Meng immediately left the camp and headed in the direction of Langya. At night, I met Zhang Xiu's army camp. Wang Meng told the soldiers guarding the camp that he was an old man in General Zhang's county, so he easily entered the barracks and met Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu saw Wang Meng, frowned and said, "I don't know Your Excellency, why did Your Excellency pretend to be an old man in our county." ”

Wang Meng took out an object from his arms and said, "I am not an old man in the general county, but I am here on behalf of the old man in the general county." ”

When Zhang Xiu saw this, he immediately burst into flames: "You are a pseudo-person." ”

Wang Meng smiled and asked, "As a member of His Majesty's clan, it is not very appropriate for the general to say this!" ”

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Xiu asked.

Wang Meng said: "Don't be impatient, general! Now that the Han family is dead, the world is divided, and people of insight have all joined the service. But only the general has no choice, the general is a relative of His Majesty, Cao Pi will not believe you. He is not Cao Cao, he does not have Cao Cao's belly, I heard His Majesty say that Cao Pi has always been obsessed with the battle of Wancheng, and after Cao Pi took power, the general was not happy, right? ”

Zhang Xiu was silent for a moment, he was indeed not very happy. After Cao Pi took power, he dealt a blow to him, and his son was reprimanded by Cao Pi because he was a little close to Cao Zhi in moving the capital, and he went to work. Zhang Xiu was very frightened by this, for fear that Cao Pi would find a reason to kill him.

Wang Meng saw that Zhang Xiu didn't speak, and immediately persuaded him: "The general and His Majesty are from the same family, and there is no grudge between them, but there are constant grievances with the Cao family. “

Zhang Xiu's heart was moved, he looked at Wang Meng and said: "I also want to go south too, but now there are many Cao Pi spies in the army, what can I do about it?" ”

Wang Meng said: "It's easy to do at this time! The general can continue to Pengcheng, and after entering Pengcheng, these people pay less attention to the general. On the day he entered Pengcheng, the general would open the city gate at night and put the soldiers from outside the city into the city. We'll take care of the rest. ”

After Zhang Xiu heard this, he immediately nodded and sent Wang Meng away. Then he called Hu Che'er, discussed it secretly, and made preparations.

Two days later, Zhang Xiu went outside Pengcheng, and it happened that Zhang Liao had a soup and a battle, and Zhang Xiu came out from the side.

When Tang He saw Zhang Xiu coming, he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to the camp. Zhang Liao invited Zhang Xiu into the city and thanked him.

At the third watch in the evening, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er took two or three hundred henchmen, suddenly opened the city gate, and let Zhang Yijun enter the city. Zhang Liao didn't expect that Zhang Xiu, who was still helping him during the day, would suddenly turn back, and by the time he led his troops to seize the city gate, it was too late.

Zhang Liao questioned Zhang Xiu and asked, "Your Majesty has taken you a lot, why did you rebel?" ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Meng Degong is really not thin on me, Cao Pi forget it!" When my son Zhang Quan moved the capital, he was just sympathetic to King Chen, but he was dismissed. He doesn't take credit for our work at all, so why should I work for him? ”

After Zhang Liao heard this, he couldn't help but fall silent. Cao Pi doesn't look down on Zhang Xiu's father and son for a day or two, only those who have a heart can see it. In this regard, Cao Pi is cautious, but Cao Pi is already well-known for his cautious eyes, and it is not good to say much for His Holiness Zhang Liao.

But now that Zhang Xiu has reversed, the gate of Pengcheng has been lost, and Zhang Yi's soldiers have entered the city, it is no longer realistic for him to want to recapture the city gate. Having lost the blockage of the city wall, Zhang Liao did not have the confidence to defeat Zhang Yijun. Thinking of this, he immediately retreated north to Peixian.

Although Pei County is not the seat of Pei County, Pei County is named after Pei County, which is also a large county and can garrison many soldiers.
