Chapter 138: Revisiting the Past

Liu Bao in the military formation, how could he not hear the irony in Zhang Yuan's words. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Obviously, Zhang Yuan had already seen that he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the fisherman would benefit, so he had long been prepared for him to be stabbed in the back, and after quickly defeating Wang Hui, he quickly returned to the army, waiting for him to send him to the door.

Liu Bao was very angry, he felt that Zhang Yuan was like a roundworm in his stomach, he could feel everything he wanted clearly, which made him feel a sense of humiliation of being played by Zhang Yuan.

The arrogant Liu Bao is not a person who swallows his anger so easily, the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, and he has the urge to completely tear his face and fight with Zhang Yuan on the spot.

"Lord, Zhang Yuan has already prepared, if we are hard at us, we may not have the certainty of victory, Jin Xinde, the foothold is not stable, please think twice." And Lianyan was anxious and fast, and he was anxious to persuade in a low voice.

Liu Bao had already held back the anger in his throat, and gave He Lian this reminder, and he pressed it down.

The secretly clenched teeth finally slowly loosened, Liu Bao gradually calmed down, took a light breath, and said loudly: "I heard the sound of killing outside the city, and I thought that Brother Zhang Xian's camp had a mutiny and rebellion, so I rushed to help you quell the rebellion. ”

Liu Bao found a very reluctant excuse to prevaricate the reason why he led the army to come with murderous spirits, and anyone with a little IQ could see that Liu Bao was lying.

"Then I really have to thank the little prince for his concern, there is no rebellion in my camp, it was just that I led the army to attack Wang Hui's camp." Zhang Yuan also pretended to believe Liu Bao's reasons.

Of course, he knew that Liu Bao was lying, but he, like Liu Bao, had just gained a large piece of territory, and his foothold was also unstable, and he didn't want to start a war with Liu Bao now.

"Since that's the case, So-and-so's worries seem to be superfluous, so I'll go back to the city, and we'll meet again in the future." Liu Bao said that he turned around and urged the army to return to the city.

Zhang Yuan pretended to be retained, and said in a loud voice: "Is the little prince going back so soon, but come and drink a bowl of good wine, the Ganjia aging in my account is the best wine in Bingzhou, and it tastes great." ”

"No need, Brother Zhang Xian has just fought a big battle, so I won't disturb you to rest, let's have a good drink another day." Liu Bao only felt that every time he stayed for a while, he would be humiliated by Zhang Yuan for a moment, and left in a hurry.

Seven or eight thousand murderous soldiers and soldiers of Liu, one by one, suffered a morale setback, so they had to change the rear team to the front team and withdraw towards Jin.

Even the title rouge was angry and her pretty face was flushed, and she turned her horse to catch up with her father, and shouted unwillingly: "Father, how can we just return it empty-handed, what if that kid is guarded, let's kill him." ”

"You and Uncle Lian are right, Jin Xinde, people's hearts are not attached, there is no certainty of victory, now is not the time to turn his face with that kid." Liu Bao calmly explained to his daughter.

Even the title Rouge didn't think about it so much, his apricot eyes were round, "But my father is handsome......"

"Enough!" Liu Bao snorted, and his face turned gloomy, "A certain person has already made a decision, how dare you question a certain decision in front of the soldiers!" ”

was drunk by his father like this, and even the title of the rouge body was shocked, and he was unwilling to swallow it helplessly, pouting his small mouth, and followed the army back to the city sullenly.

As he walked away, Rouge couldn't help but glance back, looking at the banner of the word "Zhang", and bit his teeth secretly, "Zhang Yuan, you stinky boy, you wait, sooner or later you will fall into the hands of your aunt and grandmother......"

In the formation of Zhang Jun, looking at the gradually retreating army of Liu Bao, he was calm and indifferent on the surface, but secretly he was quietly relieved.

Liu Bao's martial arts are extraordinary, and there are fierce generals like Helian under his command, as well as the Hun cavalry who went to the command of Beibei, which is powerful in the world, and the number of soldiers and horses is above him.

"Husband, Liu Bao's army has retreated, why don't we take advantage of the situation to cover up, destroy Liu Bao, and take all the states." Liu Bao retreated, but Fan Lihua shouted and screamed to kill.

Zhang Yuan smiled, raised his whip and pointed at Liu Baojun, "Madam, you see, when Liu Bao retreated, he was in an orderly manner, slowly retreating, the army was not chaotic, Liu Bao's ability to lead the army is obviously far better than Wang Hui, with our current strength, we are not sure of victory, there is no need to turn against Liu Bao." ”

When these words came out, Zu Di next to him nodded slightly, obviously appreciating Zhang Yuan's calmness.

Fan Lihua saw the situation clearly, her expression was a little regretful, but she said: "Wang Hui has fled, and Liu Bao has also retreated, so what should we do now?" ”

"Pull out the camp and return to Xihe, sit firmly, collect people's hearts, and when the time is ripe, then compete with Liu Bao." After that, Zhang Yuan beat his horse and whipped and returned to the camp.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, when the sky was not bright the next day, Zhang Yuan quietly pulled out the camp, went north along the Yishui, and went back to the West River.

When passing through the north of Jincheng, Zhang Yuan easily pocketed several counties such as Siwu in the north of Jin.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Zhang Yuan sent troops to block Wang Hui, and Liu Bao cut the northern counties to Zhang Yuan.

This time he went south to fight, and Zhang Yuan could be regarded as a very rich harvest.

In addition to driving away Wang Hui and getting several more rich counties in northern Jin, the most important thing is that he fought at Mukou and defeated Wang Hui's army of 20,000, of which seven or eight thousand either surrendered or were captured by him.

There are so many captives, all of whom are strong natives of Bingzhou, and they can be adapted into Zhang's army for their own use.

After dropping these seven or eight thousand soldiers, Zhang Yuan's territory has more than doubled, and the household registration under his rule has also doubled, the supply of grain and grass, and the scope of the replenishment of soldiers have also been greatly expanded.

Because he knows that there are no two days and no two people, a merger state must never have two rulers at the same time, not to mention that there is the Black Mountain Army in the south, Dong Zhuo in the west, and a powerful opponent like Yuan Shao in the north.

He is expanding his strength, and Liu Bao must be doing the same, so he must have enough strength to compete with him before Liu Bao uses a knife against him.

Based on this consideration, the first thing Zhang Yuan did after he was in Taiyuan was to reorganize and reduce the soldiers, train the soldiers, gather grain and grass, and prepare the army for war every minute and every second.

In terms of army management and training, there are masters like Zudi Li Dingguo, and now they have added a flower glory, and there is no big problem for the time being, but in terms of governance, the party can't draw anyone for a while, Zhao Pu They still have to take care of the rear for Zhang Yuan, but in Taiyuan he can only rely on Gao Gong, a strategist.

Although Gao Gong is mainly resourceful, his political points are also quite gorgeous, and with his political ability, it is more than enough to take care of a Taiyuan for Zhang Yuan.

It's just that Gao Gong has a dissolute temperament, is plain and greedy for a good cup of wine, and doesn't pay much attention to handling government affairs, and his political ability has not even been brought into play.

Zhang Yuan was also helpless, so he had to find ways to "loot" the cruelty and benevolence, and pondered calling a member of the internal affairs strategist to come out and really handle government affairs for himself.

Before the points were enough, Zhang Yuan decided to take advantage of a person who could be used.

It was the afternoon of the day, east of the West River.

On the avenue, a team of people and horses was silently marching on the way to the West River.

In the middle of the team, Wang Gang's brows were darkly locked, his eyes were sunken, his eyes were uncertain, and he looked preoccupied.

Since he returned to Zhang Yuan in Cangting, although Zhang Yuan accepted his submission, he only ordered him to prepare grain and grass, and did not give him an official position, which made Wang Gang feel worried all the time, for fear that Zhang Yuan would hate his Wang family.

Now Zhang Yuan has been going to Xihe for a month with the power of defeating Wang Hui, and the people's hearts are attached to him, and his prestige has increased greatly, but he suddenly summoned him to Xihe.

Wang Gang was worried, he didn't know Zhang Yuan's intentions, how could he not be preoccupied.

"Big brother, do you think that Zhang Yuan will take revenge on us?" In the carriage, Faye Wong lifted the curtain, and her dignified face was also filled with unease.

"It's hard to say." Wang Gang sighed, his face a little ashamed, "After all, we helped Wang Hui before, and we targeted him like that, and it is only natural that he is now looking for us to settle accounts after the autumn." ”

At the mention of Wang Hui, Wang Gangxiu frowned, and deep disappointment and deep resentment flashed in his bright eyes.

She never dreamed that the hero she fancied would take revenge and send Song Qian to kill her Song general Wang Fang with his own hands.

When she heard this shocking nightmare, the girl's admiration for the hero was shattered in an instant, and all that was left was shame and hatred for Wang Hui.

"Big brother doesn't have to blame himself too much, after all, in the matter of choosing Wang Hui in the first place, it was me and you who took the idea together, but it was I who was blind and saw the wrong person, so that our Wang family suffered this catastrophe." Faye Wong sighed faintly, and her pretty face was already blaming herself.

Wang Gang shook his head and cheered himself up, "The past is over, don't mention it." It is normal to have losses and profits in trading, if you want to seek revenge on Wang Hui, and if you want to earn back what our Wang family lost in Wang Hui, you can only rely on you. ”

"Rely on me?" Faye Wong was at a loss and puzzled for a while.

"Little sister, don't forget, you still have a marriage contract with that son, and the hope of our Wang family is all in you." Wang Gang said earnestly.

At the mention of the marriage contract, Faye Wong's body shook slightly, and her face was suddenly dyed a little red. (To be continued.) )
