In particular, don't look at what Zhang Ping said, but this military operation to attack Hefei is already doomed to failure.

In the context of the defeat of Hefei, the significance of the Liyang Army is particularly important.

The failure of this military operation means that a series of efforts will be in vain.

With Cao Cao's character, he will definitely launch a retaliatory southern expedition next year.

What the Jiangdong Army had to consider was how to stabilize its position under the crusade of the imperial court.

At such a time, the value of the existence of the Liyang Army is particularly important.

Zhang Ping's heart moved, and he already had the idea of easing the matter for the Liyang Army.

Protect the Liyang Army, and when the imperial court marches south next year, the Jiangdong Army will have an extra layer of barrier.

Even if the Liyang army could not be retained, that Zhang Ping would rather use it to consume the soldiers and horses of the imperial court than let the Jiangdong army attack hard.

However, the two ends of the Liyang Army's head rat are not a day or two. Zhang Ping didn't dare to explain the actual situation at this time, so as not to have any unexpected reaction.

Zhang Ping sighed angrily, "It's really hard for you, I can't hide it, before I came, Duke Lu also had a warning." ”

When everyone heard Zhang Ping's words, they were overjoyed.

In this world, no kind of commitment is reliable, only stakeholders are the most reliable.

Lü Fan is one of the beneficiaries of the existence of the Liyang Army.

Feng Yi's expression immediately softened.

Wang Zhi said with relief, "Thank you for your understanding." I, the Liyang Army, must be grateful for Zhang Gongcao's great kindness. By the way, I don't know what the relationship between Zhang Gongcao and Wujun Zhangmen is? ”

This is a very face-saving topic, and Zhang Ping naturally likes it.

So he replied proudly and modestly, "Zhang Chengcheng is the uncle of the clan." ”

Wang Zhi was even more happy when he heard that Zhang Ping had such a background. It's a beautiful thing to have a relationship with a gate valve like the Zhang family.

He hurriedly said, "I, Liyangjun, miss the friendship of the Zhang family, and when it comes to this matter, I will definitely come to visit." ”

Zhang Ping felt more and more that the existence of the Liyang Army was more meaningful, and couldn't help laughing, "It's good to say, when I go back, I must explain the hardships of the Liyang Army." ”

Feng Yi asked, "Then I don't know what Zhang Gongcao is here for?" ”

Zhang Ping hesitated in his heart.

But in the end, the mission was more important, and Zhang Ping had to continue to lie, "I'm only here to see the gains and losses of the Liyang Army." For the princes of the Jiangdong Army, there are more propositions. ”

Then, Zhang Ping pretended to be considerate and said, "I think that now is the critical time for the Jiangdong Army, whether you can enter Sun Jiangdong's eyes depends on your performance." ”

Hearing this, Feng Yi's heart was full of doubts.

"Gong Cao, what do you mean by this?" Then he said, "If it was in the past, if there was something wrong with the Jiangdong Army, my Liyang Army should naturally send troops to help, but now that the Annoyance Army is entangled outside the city, my Liyang Army, what can I do?" ”

Zhang Ping didn't know Ma Zhong's ambition to monopolize Liyang at this time, whether it was for the sake of the Jiangdong Army or the Zhang family, leaving the Liyang Army was a wonderful plan.

Zhang Ping promised, "It's okay, I have a deep friendship with Sima Ma Zhong, the other department of the annoying soldiers, and later, I will pass on a letter to order the annoying soldiers to retreat." ”

Everyone in the Liyang Army was overjoyed when they heard this, but they didn't expect that the trouble-relieving soldiers who had been worrying them for so long could be solved so easily.

Zhang Ping said, "It's a trivial matter to relieve the troublesome soldiers, the key is how I should return to the princes of the Jiangdong Army." ”

Feng Yi listened, and asked with some confusion in his heart, "Then I don't know what the envoy means?" ”

Zhang Ping stretched out three fingers and said, "Now is the critical time for the Jiangdong Army. Victory is only a stone's throw away, soldiers, horses, ordnance, food and grass, what can you provide? I can't see the actual benefits, and I can't help you speak. ”

Hearing Zhang Ping's words, the atmosphere in the audience suddenly became solemn.

Feng Yi looked left and right, and said to Zhang Ping, "Please forgive the envoy, this matter is really difficult to decide." I—I'm going to talk to the people below. ”

Zhang Ping said indifferently, "Everyone, please." ”

Feng Yi led his military attachés into the side hall, and then said impatiently, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Wei retorted on the spot, "The lord can't, these are important military supplies, how can they be easily given to others?" It's not easy for our Liyang army to have such accumulation. ”

Li Lu also said, "These are his side words, who knows whether the Jiangdong Army has taken advantage of Hefei City." Maybe the Jiangdong Army is having a hard time right now. ”

Feng Yi saw that Wang Zhi was silent, and immediately asked, "Wang Sima, what do you think?" ”

Wang Zhi thought for a while and said, "Looking at the meaning of this Gongcao, the Jiangdong Army's chances of winning are indeed very large. But we have to think twice. ”

"The imperial court is big, and it doesn't take care of our affairs, but the Jiangdong Army is different, once you hold a grudge, I'm afraid there will be no less trouble like relieving the troublesome soldiers. I think we should help with this, if the Jiangdong Army wins, we will certainly have the icing on the cake. If the Jiangdong Army is defeated, we will send charcoal in the snow, which will be even more precious. ”

When Feng Yi heard this, he couldn't help but praise, "It's still Wang Sima is old Cheng's serious words!" ”

Zhang Wei was a little dissatisfied, and asked coldly, "Soldiers and horses, equipment, grain and grass, what do you think we can get now?" ”

Wang Zhi obviously also had some considerations, and he was not embarrassed when he heard this, "The soldiers and horses are obviously impossible, our Liyang Army has sent less to show weakness, and if we send too much, we can't keep this Liyang City." As for the equipment, this is also the case, we do not produce iron in Liyang, and the Jiangdong Army will not strengthen us, and most of our current weapons are smuggled with the imperial court. If it is dedicated to Sun Jiangdong, I'm afraid there will be no trouble! Grain...... It's a little bit of a thing. ”

When Li Lu heard this, he asked rhetorically, "Then according to your meaning, isn't it that we are going to provide grain and grass to help them?" ”

Without waiting for Wang Zhi to speak, Zhang Wei said dissatisfiedly, "We are in this besieged city, how can we have the leisure to support others." ”

Wang Zhi listened and said calmly, "Of course it wasn't given for nothing. Let's provide food and grass, and Zhang Ping will solve the problem for us. As soon as the troublesome soldiers retreated, let the family masters return to the villages, firmly control the places, and maintain the influence of our Liyang Army on Liyang. ”

When Zhang Wei heard this, he couldn't help but turn his anger into joy, "If this is the case, even if you don't get the favor of the Jiangdong Army, it won't be a loss." We have learned about the treacherous tricks of the annoying soldiers before, so that the forces from all over the world are gathered in Liyang City, as long as we restore control of Liyang, just a troublesome soldier, what is enough? ”

Feng Yi saw that Zhan and the two factions had a rare unity of mind, and couldn't help but say happily, "Okay." I'm going to talk to Zhang Ping. ”

When Feng Yi took everyone back, he immediately said to Zhang Ping, "Gong Cao, I have discussed with the brothers, my Liyang Army has nothing else, but there is still some grain and grass to use." It's just that the relief camp outside the city is aggressive, and I really don't know how the Jiangdong Army views our Liyang Army. ”
