Chapter 729: Grievances

Although Han Yi is strict in governing the army, he is not an old-fashioned person who does not know how to be flexible, his tricks can be changed, and he can even change them, but his actions when making moves cannot be sloppy, which is the most valuable thing Zhao Yun learned from Han Yi.

"Boss, who do you think will win?" Zhong Lixun, who was far inferior to Liu He, asked softly.

"It's hard to say," Liu He first gave an ambiguous answer, and then explained, "Dian Wei uses some wild ways, focusing on simplicity and effectiveness, while Zhao Yun follows the regular routine completely, there are advantages and disadvantages, he will not make mistakes easily, and there is no possibility of surprise." ”

Zhongli pondered for a moment, and seemed to have comprehended something, but he was not sure, and asked with a frown: "What does the boss mean is that Zhao Yun is waiting for Dian Wei to make a mistake?" ”

Liu He nodded slightly, his eyes never left the two of them in the battle, and said: "Although the words are so, it is not like it literally, Zhao Yun must have an advantage. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that before he had time to make a mistake, he would be picked by Zhao Yun with one shot, but now he is facing Dian Wei with equal strength, and he is still immortal, if he wants to catch Dian Wei's mistakes, I am afraid that Zhao Yun will have to hold on for a long time. In other words, the two sides are now fighting not only with strength and speed, but also with mentality and patience that can really determine the outcome of the game. ”

Although Zhong Lixun's martial arts cultivation is not as good as Liu He's, he also clearly knows the meaning of Liu He's words, and what he has to do is not to stand aside and cheer for Zhao Yun, after bidding farewell to Liu He, Zhong Lixun returned to the formation non-stop and started a new round of deployment.

He once again drew a group of troops from several already stretched battlefields, and asked them to rush to the battlefield where Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were located, for the simple reason that once Zhao Yun was defeated, then this battlefield would immediately become the place where the morale of the southern Xinjiang army was highest.

Zhong Lixun couldn't estimate how many troops he needed to resist the strongest offensive that the Southern Xinjiang Army might launch, because no one knew how terrifying the combat power of the opponent's immortal army was, as the commander-in-chief of the front line, Zhong Lixun could only plan for the worst and send all the troops that could be mobilized to the place where Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were fighting.

But the side effect of this is that the disadvantages of several other battlefields will be more obvious, especially when the soldiers learn that there are other battlefields where the fighting situation is more miserable, and the psychological blow is self-evident.

For the first time in his life, Zhong Lixun felt like he was walking on thin ice in front of the two armies, and he almost had to accurately dispatch troops to single digits, which was a pressure for a commander who needed to maneuver on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people.

Liu He was very clear about the pressure Zhong Lixun was facing, but he didn't say anything, this should be the duty of a strategist, just like a military general has to face life and death on the battlefield, which is understandable.

From another point of view, this is also Liu He's trust in Zhong Lixun, and it is not an overnight achievement that the scholar who came out of Moling City can sit in the position of today's front-line commander.

It's just that this front-line commander has a deeply hidden knot, and it is related to Han Yi, another commander of the Tianji Battalion.

Zhong Lixun and Han Yi are both handsome talents that are rare in a century, and they are Liu He's right-hand man.

The two people who complement each other in the eyes of outsiders actually have a secret mustard, especially Zhong Lixun's treatment of Han Yi, although he didn't say it, he couldn't let go.

This is related to a grievance between Zhong Li's family and the Han family, Zhong Lixun's ancestor Zhong Liyi, who was originally a general under the account of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu was defeated and died, and Zhong Liyi voted for Han Xin.

In the seventh year of Gaozu, someone accused Han Xin, who had been named the king of Chu at that time, of rebellion, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, adopted Chen Ping's strategy to attack Han Xin on the pretext of traveling.

Han Xin intended to send troops to resist and declared himself innocent, but he was afraid that things would make a big fuss. Han Xin's subordinates offered advice and asked him to kill Zhong Liyi and dedicate it to Gaozu as a sign of loyalty.

When Zhong Liyi learned about it, he persuaded Han Xin and told Han Xin that if he wanted to kill him and please the emperor, Han Xin would soon kill himself after his death.

In the end, Han Xin decided to take the advice of his subordinates and kill Zhong Liyi, who scolded Han Xin when he learned about it, and then killed himself.

Han Xin took Zhong Liyi's head to explain the reason to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang asked him to capture him, although Liu Bang later pardoned Han Xin, but Han Xin was also demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin.

This past is recorded in the history books, and future generations can see it, but people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty have nowhere to know, so up and down the Tianji camp, except for Zhong Lixun, only Liu He knows about the grievances between Zhong Li's family and the Han family.

Liu He wasn't even sure if Han Yi, who was a descendant of Han Xin, knew that Liu He had secretly observed Han Yi for a long time, and judging from various performances, Han Yi was not the slightest wary of Zhong Lixun.

There are only two circumstances that can explain this matter, otherwise Han Yi did not take the grievances between the two families many years ago to heart, and there is another possibility, that is, as the beneficiary party, the Han family did not tell the descendants of this matter at all, and Han Yi had no way of knowing.

But one thing Liu He can be sure of is that Zhong Lixun must still be obsessed with this matter, Liu He has found that several times, Zhong Lixun's eyes when he looks at Han Yi are not quite right, not resentful, but at least not goodwill, and when marching and fighting, Zhong Lixun always shows more or less concern for Han Yi.

As far as the division of labor in the Tianji Battalion is concerned, if Zhong Lixun wants to compare, the object should also be Pang Tong, who is also a strategist, but it is obvious that he is sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, but Zhong Lixun always likes to be on a high level with Han Yi, who personally led the troops to the front line, although it sounds like a few jokes to outsiders, but in the ears of Liu He, an insider, he can obviously feel that there is something in the words, and there is a deep meaning.

Liu He's gaze was withdrawn from Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, who were fighting on the battlefield, and turned to Zhong Lixun, who was running in the formation, he didn't know why he thought of this at such a critical juncture, this was not a good sign, and he didn't want the two henchmen to have any dispute at this juncture.

Compared with the queen of southern Xinjiang who sat in the rear and did not move, Liu He can be said to be cautious to the extreme, no matter which link of this battle goes wrong, it will be fatal, once one of the ten bridgeheads is captured by the enemy, it is like a high-rise building being cut off a pillar, and the situation on other battlefields will soon collapse.

And at this moment, the most critical battle is the life-and-death struggle between Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.
