Chapter 171: Undercurrent
More than an hour had passed since Zhang Zai returned from the wounded barracks, during which he visited the wounded in several rooms, and their injuries were both light and severe, and Zhang Zai chatted with them, estimated them, and promised to solve their worries about their injuries.

The next day, Zhang Zai's reputation spread in the army, most of them were originally Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, and they had never seen Zhang Zai, and after this incident, it was a great honor for them to be able to eat and live with the king.
And Zhang Zai's status in their hearts is also rising again and again, although it may not reach the status of Gongsun Zan in the past, but at least they will work hard for Zhang Zai and Tang Guo.
And at this time, there was a storm brewing in the territory of Tang Kingdom.
Jinyang, the capital of the Tang Kingdom.
It was already curfew, and the streets were eerily quiet, except for the footsteps of the patrolling defenders and the whirring of the wind.
In a mansion in the city, the house is brightly lit, beyond the front yard, in the living room, there are several people discussing these unspeakable things.
"Master Wang, have you already contacted the patriarchs of the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes?"
It was the head of the Linghu family who spoke, and the Linghu family, as a family second only to the Wang family, still had some weight in their loose alliance.
As soon as the Linghu family master said this, the other family heads also looked at Wang Yan, and their eyes revealed a look of inquiry.
"Rest assured, several leaders of the Xiongnu and Xianbei Budu Gen Yu have already agreed to send troops."
"Really?"
Hearing Wang Yan's affirmative answer, they smiled, Zhang Zai was too strong, and they were suppressed very badly, all the time, they wanted to find an opportunity to drive Zhang Zai out of the state, but there was no good opportunity.
Now Zhang Zai went to Youzhou and took away almost all the defenders of Jinyang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, when the time comes, there are Xiongnu and Xianbei outside, and there are their private soldiers inside, so I don't have to worry about eliminating Zhang Zai's forces.
So they met in the palace overnight to discuss the next arrangement.
"Ladies and gentlemen, three days later, Xianbei Shan Yu Budugen will raise troops to attack Yanmen, the Huns will attack Wuyuan, and we also need to attack Jinyang at this time, everyone should notify the principal of the family in advance, but don't leak the rumors, otherwise don't blame us for turning our faces and not recognizing people at that time."
Wang Yan, who was in charge of contacting Xianbei and the Xiongnu, revealed their agreement to the heads of the family, and then warned them and continued: "After this matter is completed, my Wang family will take three points of wealth in the treasury of Zhang Zai, and let the Hu family take one point, and you will share the rest equally. ā
"No comment."
"I'm okay with that."
The heads of the families nodded, they felt that such a distribution was still very reasonable, and none of them came out to oppose it.
"In this case, when Jinyang City sends troops to support the northern border, it will be the day when we will do it."
"The Zhang family and the Li family, you attack the south gate, the east gate is handed over to my Wang family, the Ling Hu family is responsible for the west gate, and the rest of you are responsible for the north gate."
"Okay."
Now that they had reached an agreement, there was no need for the negotiation to proceed further, so they returned to the lodgings that Wang Yan had arranged for them.
This matter is very important, and it is enough to raid the family and exterminate the clan, and there is no room for a little sloppiness.
In the early morning, a heavy horn sounded in the mountains and fields, and at this time, nearly 300,000 troops on both sides were in full swing to prepare for battle, which was also the first confrontation between the two countries after the fall of the Han Dynasty.
With the tens of thousands of reinforcements brought by Zhang Zai, Xue Rengui also had the confidence to go out of the city to fight, and directly suggested to Zhang Zai to order troops and horses to go out of the city to fight.
As the first time he led the troops to the expedition after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ratio of troops between the two sides is now about two to one, and there is no need to show weakness to Yuan Shao, so Zhang Zai directly took 40,000 reinforcements out of the city to line up.
Of these 40,000 people, 10,000 are his descendants, that is, the army that has been stationed in Jinyang, and the other 30,000 are the former Montenegrin Army, which was trained a little.
is a Black Mountain Army, and Zhang Zai only selected 60,000 soldiers, which means that there are only 30,000 soldiers in Jinyang City at this time.
"Hedong Xu Huang is here, who dares to fight with me!"
The two armies are fighting, and the fighting general is always the first act of the battle, and Xu Huang, who got Zhang Zai's signal, flew out of the battle as soon as possible.
Yuan Shao saw that Zhang Zai actually sent a little-known young general, he didn't know whether he was angry or happy, and said with a sneer: "Who dares to fight?" ā
"The last will go."
As soon as Yuan Shao's words fell, a military general rode out, it was the general Lu Weihuang, who nodded and agreed with Yuan Shao, and went directly to the horse.
"Coming and going to get the same name."
"A certain is Hebei Lu Weihuang."
The distance between the two of them was no more than a few feet between them.
Clang!
The weapons of the two intersected instantly, and then they staggered, Xu Huang's face was relaxed, and with the temptation just now, he had already understood the depth of the opponent.
However, Lu Weihuang was hit by Xu Huang's axe, and Zhen's weapon almost flew out of his hand, and now his arm is still a little numb, and the knife in his hand is still a little unstable.
"Drive!"
Xu Huang saw that Lu Weihuang no longer took the initiative to attack, so he himself urged the war horse to kill Lu Weihuang.
And Lu Weihuang knew that he was not Xu Huang's opponent, but in front of everyone, he only fought with Xu Huang for one move, and then fled, his face must be a little ugly, I am afraid that even Yuan Shao will despise him, and when the time comes, his good days will come to an end, so he can only bite the bullet and plan to hold on a few more moves.
But he overestimated himself, or underestimated Xu Huang too much, just when the two weapons intersected again, Xu Huang directly picked up the big knife in Lu Weihuang's hand, and then swept with an axe, directly beheading Lu Weihuang.
"Rubbish!"
Yuan Shao watched Lu Weihuang being killed by Xu Huang with one move, and suddenly felt that his face was dull, annoyed and angry, and said: "Yan Liang listens to the order, go and fetch his head for this king!" ā
"No!"
Yan Liang heard Yuan Shao's order, and went out directly to kill Xu Huang.
Seeing Yan Liang, Xu Huang's eyes were solemn, and his hands holding the axe trembled a little, Yan Liang's name he had heard people mention, his force was the first in Hebei, although it was not necessarily accurate, but it was by no means a waste of fame, this was a good time for him to become famous.
When Yan Liang came out of the battle, Zhang Zai was still a little worried about Xu Huang, and specially observed the attributes of the next two, and found that Xu Huang had unconsciously changed his strength.
His power did not grow though. But the skill has grown by three points, reaching 96, which is enough to fight with Yan Liang.
"Die!"
Yan Liang Pegasus came to Xu Huang's side, and without saying a word, he directly slashed at Xu Huang's head.
Clang!
Sparks erupted, and the weapons of the two made instant contact and then bounced off, passing by in the wrong way.
Xu Huang's strength has always been inferior to Yan Liang, and Yan Liang has taken a lot of advantage in this blow.
And Yan Liang also found that Xu Huang's strength was not as good as his own, so he bullied forward and attacked again and again, forcing Xu Huang to hurry for a while.
