Chapter 504: War Weariness
Cheng Lian left with a familiar car, Cao Jun didn't even see a shadow, Cao Jun entered Yingchuan County, feeling that his eyes were blind, Yingchuan County at this time was completely different from the Yingchuan County in their impression. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although Yingchuan County is not the largest state and county in Yuzhou, it is the richest state and county in Yuzhou, and it is also a place often visited by literati and scholars.
Compared with the poorest prefectures and counties in Yuzhou, the local refugees were simply a disaster, and the generals of the Cao army immediately reported the matter to Cao Cao, who was far away in Xuchang, and Cao Cao thought it was just ordinary good news.
The enemy army located in Yingchuan, Cao Cao never paid attention to it, Yingchuan is still far away from Zhang Xiang's territory, even if Zhang Xiang occupies it, it will be useless, and the territory suspended outside is no different from nothing.
Cao Cao knew very well that it was very easy to recapture Yingchuan County, but Cao Cao didn't expect to recapture such a Yingchuan, and such a Yingchuan would have no effect on him, and some were just trouble.
Zhang Xiang could destroy Yingchuan County, but Cao Cao could not sit idly by and rebuild it, Cao Cao valued the literati very much, which was very similar to Zhang Xiang, and he also preferred martial artists.
But it is better for the literati than for the martial arts, there is no way that the literati are too few compared to the martial arts, and the scarcity is expensive, and the same is true for people, which is why the status of the literati has always been above the martial arts.
Most of the literati under Cao Cao came from Yuzhou, and Yuzhou is also a place where literati have been born since ancient times.
Therefore, these literati have different feelings about this place in Yingchuan County, most of them are officials under Cao Cao, and Cao Cao cannot disappoint these people because of this.
It is easy to destroy and difficult to build, not to mention local construction, Cao Cao is not afraid of consuming manpower and financial resources, but he is afraid of consuming energy, but it is difficult to think of this kind of thing without consuming energy.
Even Cao Cao regretted retaking Yingchuan a little, where is this regaining territory! It's basically to take back a dad! Only Zhang Xiang is willing to do this kind of thing, and he is not afraid of reaping the consequences in the future.
I really don't have any scruples at all, sometimes Cao Cao is really envious of Zhang Xiang, sometimes it seems to be reckless, but it is not himself who is embarrassed in the short term, this may also be a kind of ability!
The recapture of Yingchuan County was also something that Zhang Xiang had expected a long time ago, so it was not a pity, Cao Cao had no other actions, and Zhang Xiang did not make any major moves, because Zhang Xiang encountered a big problem here.
That is, the morale of the army is weak, Zhang Xiang killed too hard last year, especially the battle of Liangzhou, which released all the anger in the army at once, and now the war-weariness in the army is very high.
Zhang Xiang will often go in and out of the barracks, so this feeling is very sensitive, it is better to block Zhang Xiang decided that he didn't want to make any big moves this year, of course, he couldn't move, otherwise it would be easy to slump from now on.
So this year, Zhang Xiang plans to feint, Zhang Xiang has already released the wind to recapture Yingchuan, Zhang Xiang did not discuss this matter with anyone, anyway, it is not a real fight, and Zhang Xiang is also used to being arbitrary.
Although the non-commissioned officers did not dare to oppose it, their morale was low, and the number of non-commissioned officers who violated military law increased day by day, and the affairs of the military could not be directly felt by the literati.
Even Yang Xu and Guo Jia didn't feel it, but Zhang Fei and the others felt it very obviously, and finally Zhang Fei and the others made trouble with Zhang Xiang, "Third brother, we can't fight this battle." ā
Zhang Xiang: "Why don't you dare?" ā
"Third brother, if it's my business alone, of course I dare, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, as long as the third brother gives an order, I will go to the soup and fight the fire, but this is not my business alone, don't you know the situation in the army?"
Zhang Xiang: "I know your intentions, big brother, you have really become different, if it was before, you would definitely shout to be a pioneer general." ā
Zhang Fei: "It's different now, how many soldiers and horses we had before, how much territory we had, and how much we have now, I still know very well, so we are no longer allowed to be too impulsive." ā
Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, do you think I'm impulsive?" ā
"Actually, the third brother has something I want to say for a long time, the third brother has followed you to fight in the north and south over the years, no matter how hard it is, we have persevered, because we can't retreat at that time, and taking a step back is to break our bones, but now it's time for us to rest, you are too reckless, and we have never stopped the expedition in recent years."
The generals who came with Zhang Fei all looked at Zhang Fei with admiration, and I am afraid that Zhang Fei was the only one in the whole army who dared to talk to Zhang Xiang like this, and they said their hearts in one sentence.
Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, I just want to ask who gave you these words, it's not like your usual style of speaking." ā
"It's not important, it's important to stop the march."
Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, are you teaching me to do things?" ā
"The eldest brother is the father, and the third brother has listened to you all these years, I only hope to listen to me this time, otherwise it will definitely end in a fiasco." Zhang Fei was a little too impatient, so what he said was a bit out of line.
If the two brothers were alone, it would be understandable for Zhang Fei to say this, but it was not only the two brothers who were present, the other people present now had only one idea to find a crack in the ground to get into.
They all regretted coming with Zhang Fei, how could they say this kind of thing casually, "Big brother, are you so sure that it will end in a fiasco?" ā
How much the generals behind him wanted Zhang Fei to deny it, they would have a step down, but Zhang Fei just said, "Yes." The generals began to break out in a cold sweat, and this kind of conversation was simply terrifying.
Let these veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time feel creepy.
Zhang Xiang sighed heavily, "What if it's a feint?" ā
Zhang Fei: "Then it's another matter, if it's a feint, it's no problem how many times you feint, third brother, you mean feints to attack Yingchuan." ā
Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, you know too much, in fact, I originally planned to talk about this matter after the expedition, but you all came here to listen to it!" Attacking Yingchuan is actually Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword, and what I want is Huang Zhong. ā
Zhang Fei: "Huang Zhong seems to be Liu Bei's general?" What does it have to do with Yingchuan? ā
"Yingchuan has been emptied by Cheng Lian, it's useless for me to want it, Huang Zhong has always been in Yizhou, his existence has always threatened Chengdu, I want to pull out this thorn, and it is also the only war this year, is the answer big brother satisfied?"
Zhang Fei: "Third brother, did you say it earlier?" We have all misunderstood, we will destroy the barracks, and we will not delay your business. "The generals want to slip away, Zhang Xiang is here and they don't want to stay for a moment.
Zhang Xiang: "Stop me, today's matter is a secret in the army, your identity is indeed qualified to know, but you know it too early, if there is a rumor of military law, I will not be soft this time." ā
The generals left Zhang Xiang's residence at this time, and each gave a sigh of relief, and Long Ben kicked Zhang Fei even more, "Yide, you have no brains!" I don't know what to say and what not to say when such an adult is so big. ā
Zhang Fei surprisingly didn't fight back, "I regret it too!" As soon as the words came out, I wanted to hit the wall with my head, Long Ben, did you say that the third brother said that in order to find a step down. ā
Long Ben: "The first day you followed the lord!" The lord has always had a clear distinction between public and private, I'm afraid everything is true, we are too worried, but this time I have to deal with Huang Zhong. ā
The soldiers are tired of war, but it does not mean that these generals are tired of war, these generals are not happy to fight, Zhang Xiang said very clearly, the only war this year is to attack Huang Zhong, it is really that there are more wolves and less meat.
Zhang Fei: "Don't even think about it, can your cavalry go to Yizhou?" ā
Long Ben: "My cavalry, you Zhang Fei can go, you still want to grab meat to eat if you say the wrong thing, you just don't even think about it?" ā
"If the two generals want to quarrel, please go to the side, this is a place where you can quarrel." Ximending suddenly walked out, and Ximending didn't stay in the army for long, and then came to Zhang Xiang's side.
So I don't know Zhang Fei and Long Ben at all, you must know that the quarrel between Long Ben and Zhang Fei, even Zhang Xiang doesn't bother to care, because there are too many, and it's not a day or two for the two of them to deal with each other.
Those pro-soldiers didn't have time to stop it when they saw Ximending coming forward, it was not easy to stop it when it happened, after all, what Ximending did was not wrong, if it wasn't for Zhang Xiang's pro-soldiers, Zhang Fei and Long Ben would have beaten people.
Zhang Fei and Long Ben left angrily, and some generals patted Ximending on the shoulder when they left, "Little brother, you really have a future." ā
When all the generals left, those personal soldiers came over and told Ximending the identities of Zhang Fei and the others, "Brother Ximen, we really admire you, amazing." ā
Ximending: "The rules have nothing to do with their identity, how can the lord's mansion be disturbed by others before." ā
The old-fashioned of Ximending made these pro-soldiers incomprehensible, but when Zhou Cang, who was passing by, heard it, he appreciated it very much, and the dispatch of pro-soldiers has always been personally responsible for Zhang Xiang.
Zhou Cang immediately went to Zhang Xiang and told him what happened in front of the mansion, "Lord, this Ximending is indeed a material that can be made. ā
"It's quite interesting, dare to say Long Ben and Big Brother, since you appreciate it, you can be your deputy!"
In the end, this incident spread in the army, and Ximending became a celebrity and was imitated by many people, but they did not have the same good luck as Ximending, and they were taught a lesson by Zhang Feilongben.
However, after Zhang Xiang knew, he also rewarded these people a little, and there were not many soldiers who dared to do anything to Zhang Fei and Long Ben, and since then Zhang Fei and Long Ben have rarely had peaceful days, which are all caused by Zhang Xiang.
This situation was maintained until the departure of the army, Zhang Fei and Long Ben also breathed a sigh of relief, those soldiers did not pose any threat to them, but they were really annoying, and they could not be heavy-handed.
After the expedition, Zhang Fei was a little unhappy, because Zhang Fei received the order to feint to attack Yingchuan, which was laughed at by Long Ben for a long time, which was not Zhang Fei's willingness. (To be continued.) )
