After pulling up the team and raising troops, especially after experiencing the setback of recruiting Su Dingfang, Liu Mang realized that the idea that with the bronze mirror system, he could summon famous ministers to sweep the world was too simple and naïve.

With only a system and insufficient self-cultivation, even if you summon talents, others may not necessarily follow you. Moreover, the more bullish the characters, the more difficult it is to recruit.

After arriving in Youzhou and settling in Zhuolu, Liu Mang began to study hard.

Liu Mang is very smart and learns things quickly. However, learning is not a day's work. In his previous life, he was not very attentive to learning, and now he is working hard, although it is not too late, but in a short period of time, it is difficult to make up for the knowledge he lacked before.

Liu Mang's favorite thing to read is all kinds of military books and war books. "The Art of War" is a classic of military books, and Liu Mang naturally studied it.

It's just that the language of an ancient classic like "The Art of War" is too refined, and it shouldn't be written, and there is not a single word!

Watching "The Art of War" and seeing madness, Liu Mang even began to miss the online novels he read in his previous life. Although the bad author keeps pouring water, it doesn't matter if the water spots and ink are there, so I can understand it!

It's good now, although I hold a bronze mirror Pad, but I can't use it. I don't have any comments that I want to see! I can only rely on myself to ponder slowly and ask for advice everywhere.

However, the art of war is not something that can be understood and memorized. That's what I'm talking about on paper. To learn the art of war, it is important to understand and perceive.

Although Su Dingfang and others can ask for advice, Liu Mang is always difficult to understand and cannot fully understand.

This time, taking Yu Wenkai's construction as an example, Xu Da not only had his own understanding, but also gave Liu Mang great inspiration!

has a deep understanding of the art of war, Liu Mang is very happy.

Back in Yangqu, Liu Mang not only paid attention to the front-line battle situation, but as soon as he had time, he went to the Yangqu construction site to observe the construction organized by Yu Wenkai.

After listening to Xu Da's introduction, and then looking at the site layout and construction organization, Liu Mang has a more enlightened feeling! And what made him even happier was that the system actually gave a prompt message!

Liu Mang was about to laugh out loud.

Next, the five circumference changes the reminder.

Domination is increased to 64, and the sum of the five measurements is increased to 306.

……

Entering the well again, Zhang He was extremely reluctant. Among the generals in Jizhou, Zhang He was known for his prudence.

Last time, he raided Jingcheng with an absolutely superior force, but he failed. And now, Liu Mang has already been carefully deployed in the three counties of Jingcheng, but Yecheng still ordered Fengji Zhang He's troops to forcibly attack.

Zhang He understands soldiers.

Although Yecheng sent additional reinforcements, Jingcheng was not conducive to the development of the army, and no matter how many troops were added, it would be difficult to come in handy.

Defeated in the previous battle, it is difficult to win this time. Zhang He couldn't help it anymore and asked Feng Ji his questions.

The last attack on Yangqu failed, and Feng Ji, in his report to Yuan Shao, attributed it mainly to Zhang He's unfavorable command. Now Zhang He questioned again, Feng Ji did not give Zhang He a good face, but only emphasized that attacking Jingcheng was part of Jizhou's overall strategy.

Feng Ji warned Zhang He that as a general of the unified army, he had only one duty, that is, to resolutely carry out orders.

Zhang He had nothing to say.

In a fit of anger, he asked to personally lead the vanguard troops and attack Yangqu again.

The last battle of Yangqu made Zhang He annoyed. But the tenacious combat effectiveness of the Yanmen Army was indeed greater than he expected.

Under Liu Mang, although there are not many soldiers and horses, the combat effectiveness of the troops is really strong. And the Yanmen generals, such as Su Dingfang, Yang Yanzhao, Li Xiucheng, etc., are extremely strategic and are really fierce enemies.

And Xu Da!

In the first battle of Yangqu, Xu Da, a little-known small team, led the team to hold on, and Zhang He led the team to attack for two or three days, but failed to break through Yangqu after all.

This Xu Da is well deployed and strategic. What made Zhang He the most difficult to let go, Xu Da made a false banner and Li Xiucheng became a big banner, and he was suspicious. In the end, he spoke disrespectfully and tried his best to play.

The confrontation with Xu Da was regarded as a great shame by Zhang He.

Attacking Jing Cheng again, the only thing that can arouse Zhang He's fighting spirit is to meet Xu Da again! has been famous for a long time, and the general who shook Hebei was actually played by an unknown junior, how could Zhang He be willing? This is also the reason why he took the initiative to invite Ying to be a pioneer.

Thinking of Xu Da, Zhang He's chest seemed to be blocked by a stone. However, the angry Zhang He was still cautious. As always, a large number of scouts were sent to reconnoiter the front and the mountains and forests left and right......

……

In Yangqu City, the scout sentry is also tightened.

Although he firmly believes in the ability of Su Dingfang, Li Xiucheng, Xu Da and others, but at the moment of such a big enemy, Liu Mang still finds it difficult to hide his nervousness.

In Yangqu City, only the Su Wei led by Yan Qing and the garrison in the county were not more than a few hundred people in total. Yan Qing had already deployed his team on the four city walls to prevent the enemy from breaking through the frontline defenses and killing Yangqu.

Liu Mang had been standing on the city wall for two hours, and on the front line, one piece of information after another was delivered to Liu Mang, reporting on the advance of the Jizhou army.

From the information received, the only thing Liu Mang can be sure of is one thing - the big war is today!

"Too Guarded ......"

A timid voice came from behind him.

Turning his head, Yangqu County Commander Mu Shan stood respectfully behind him.

"What?"

"Mr. Berwyn, please go to the county office."

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Berwyn said that he wanted to ask Taishou to play chess......"

Play chess?

Liu Mang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He knew that Liu Bowen wanted to express his self-confidence through this, and he also hoped that Liu Mang, as the lord of a county, would pass on his self-confidence to the people around him.

Liu Mang also really wants to retreat from thousands of miles away in the midst of talking and laughing, but this is a war! This is your war to the death! It's hard to be so calm!

Mu Shan led the way. His original status was too low, and he was suddenly promoted to a county magistrate, and he still couldn't change the habit of being a small official. He bowed slightly, and his body was slightly sideways, looking very humble.

"Song Yue, a big battle is about to begin, are you afraid?" Liu Mang asked Mu Shan, why wasn't he asking himself, although he had experienced more than ten battles, large and small, he still felt panicked.

"Don't be afraid!"

Mu Shan replied quickly and resolutely, much beyond Liu Mang's expectations. And Mu Shan's expression was very natural, and it was never deliberately pretended.

How could such a short, submissive little person have such great courage?

Liu Mang was very interested. "Why aren't you afraid? Let's talk about it. ”

"With my brother and them, they are not afraid!"

"Your brother?" Liu Mang knew that Mu Shan called Li Xiucheng and Xu Da brothers.

In his previous life, Liu Mang also liked to call others brothers. But after the army, especially with the eldest grandson Wuji, Fan Zhongyan and other political powers, Liu Mang gradually learned to control the way of his subordinates.

Between subordinates, it is not a good phenomenon to climb relatives and pull relationships. After a long time, it is easy to form gangs. Liu Mang's brows couldn't help frowning......
