All the officers of the Xiliang Army above the rank of Dubo have all been concentrated in the big tent, of course, these officers are not only the generals of Xiliang in Hangu Pass, but also the former Guo Yan's subordinates who Zhang Bao urgently transferred from the north, these generals are among them, but the general Zhao Cen is not among them. As early as after Zhang Bao took over Hangu Pass, he transferred Zhao Cen to Guo Da and ordered him to be Guo Da's deputy general, which was actually under house arrest.
Youzhou is Zhang Bao's lair, Zhang Bao's power can be said to be deep-rooted, don't say that Zhao Cen is just a mediocre general, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he can't set off any storms.
"The lord has arrived!"
When the officers were chatting in the open sky, a thunderous shout suddenly sounded outside the tent, and the officers in the tent were shocked and silenced, and the big tent, which was originally as lively and complicated as a bazaar, suddenly became a dead silence.
In the sound of heavy footsteps, a majestic figure stepped into the big tent proudly.
The generals in the tent turned their heads one after another, only to see that this person was dressed in dark iron armor, his eyes were as cold as a knife, who else was Zhang Bao, the famous lord of the Yellow Turban? Zhang Bao was closely followed by an iron tower-like guard, but it was the evil man Dian Wei, who described him as hideous, with a pair of black iron halberds diagonally inserted behind his shoulders, murderous.
Zhang Bao walked straight to the back of the big case, shook his cloak suddenly, and sat down.
Dian Wei hurriedly followed, standing behind Zhang Bao, his wolf-like eyes swept around the big tent, and all the generals in Liangzhou in the tent were disgusted, and no one was afraid of him, which shows the fierce blood surname of this group of Liangzhou generals! If it is well trained, it will be another tiger and wolf division within a day.
A hint of coldness bloomed at the corner of Zhang Bao's mouth, and he said solemnly: "Generals, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you, Lord."
The generals of Liangzhou clasped their fists at Zhang Bao and sat on the ground one after another.
"The general's iron cavalry, Kyushu vertical/horizontal has not tasted a defeat, hundreds of barbarians have been slaughtered, thousands of cities have been broken, and the army swept away is countless, there are few armies that can make this general look the other way, but~" Zhang Bao said this, his eyes showed agitation, and he shouted, "General Ben has to say a word, Liangzhou Army~ good!" ”
The Liangzhou general in the tent suddenly had hot eyes when he heard this.
Being able to hear this sentence from the mouth of the famous Zhang Bao was enough to make them proud.
"Although the Liangzhou Legion that dominated the world in the past was defeated, it was not because you were not brave enough, but because the Liangzhou Legion lacked good generals, it was Guo Yan, Li Xuan, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji, and Dong Zhuo who brought the Liangzhou Legion to the end! But this has nothing to do with you, you are still brave and good at fighting Liangzhou soldiers! ”
The eyes of the Liangzhou generals began to become hot, and Zhang Bao's words once again reached their hearts.
For a long time, the rout of the Liangzhou Legion made all the Liangzhou soldiers feel uncomfortable, and their simple heads couldn't understand why the once powerful Liangzhou Legion was defeated?
"This general is a native of Julu, Jizhou, originally not from Liangzhou, but the ancestor of this general, Wu Xinjun Zhang Yi, was a minister in Qin, and since that time, our Zhang family has become one of the soldiers of Liangzhou, the hometown of Qin! Therefore, you don't have to take the defeat of Chang'an to heart, you did not lose to others, but to your own people, and lost to another Liangzhou army! This...... No shame! ”
The defeat of Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, as well as the defeat of Luoyang, did not crush the fighting spirit of the Liangzhou rebellious army, and the sacking of the four counties of Gyeonggi only contributed to the style of the rebellious army, and also did not affect the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou army. The melee between Guo Yan, Li Qi and others in Guanzhong only seriously reduced the strength of the Liangzhou rebel army, but also did not destroy the self-confidence and fighting spirit of this army.
However, the defeat of Chang'an completely destroyed the confidence of the rebellious army in Liangzhou.
After the defeat of Chang'an, more than 20,000 people in the entire army became Guo Tu's prisoners, although Guo Yan was assassinated at that time, and the generals and colonels in the army were all gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the Liangzhou rebel army would quickly collapse because of the lack of effective command! But these simple-minded soldiers don't think so much, and if they are defeated in their hearts, they will be defeated, not to mention the most tragic annihilation of the whole army.
In order for this Liangzhou rebel army to regain its combat effectiveness, it is first necessary to prescribe the right medicine and restore their self-confidence.
"Yes, we didn't lose to the Kwantung Army, we just lost to our own brothers."
"Who's to say it isn't? The lord's army is also the Liangzhou military system, and we just lost to our own people. ”
"His grandmother's, that is, the lord's army, can defeat us, change to the Kwantung Army, and do his mother's dream of spring and autumn."
Zhang Bao's voice fell, and these Liangzhou generals began to make noise. Zhang Bao's gentle and clever words unraveled the crux of the suppressed hearts of this group of martial artists, and let them regain their pride as a Liangzhou soldier.
Zhang Bao Huoran raised his hand.
Dian Wei's expression was terrible, and he immediately shouted: "Silence! ”
The generals and colonels of Liangzhou, who were clamoring for themselves, were silenced one after another, and silence was restored in the big tent, and Zhang Bao said coldly: "This is what General Ben doesn't want to hear, and you shouldn't say it with your mouth!" If you are still a man, stand up the egg under your crotch, use your knife, and use your sword to tell those Kanto native dogs what the real Liangzhou soldiers are like! ”
"General, this battle of Hangu Pass must let the brothers go to the battlefield!" Zhang Bao's voice fell, and a partial general had already stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Brothers, you must use the sword in your hand to tell those Kwantung native dogs with bloody facts that the Liangzhou Army is the strongest army in the world!" ”
"Hmm." Zhang Bao nodded, "What's your name?" ”
The partial general said proudly: "The last general Jiang is embarrassed!" ”
"Jiang Yu?" Zhang Bao nodded and said, "Okay, General Ben has written it down." If Ben Jiang is not mistaken, the surname Jiang should be the surname of Tianshui in Liangzhou, right? ”
"What the lord said is extremely true~" Jiang Yi said proudly, "The last will be from Tianshui Ji County." ”
"Okay~"
"Lord, and the last general!"
Before Zhang Bao could speak, another member of the general stepped forward.
Zhang Bao asked, "What's your name?" ”
"The last general, Zhang Lin."
"Zhang Lin? The same surname as the general~ Okay, the general also wrote it down. ”
"My lord, and the last general."
"And us, we're going to go too."
This time, all the Liangzhou generals in the tent stood up. On such an occasion and in such an atmosphere, if there are still people who can sit on the seat and do not move, there are only two possibilities, one is that he is not a man at all, and the other is that that guy, like Zhang Bao, can maintain enough calm in any situation.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The next day, on the outskirts of Hanguguan.
The loud horn sounded in the sky, and a team of cavalry ironclad warriors surged out of the barracks, assembling in the wilderness, Dian Wei's eyebrows were cold, and he stood in front of the array with the blood-colored banner in his hand, and the banner was fluttering against the bleak north wind hunting, crackling~~ Zhang Bao stood under the banner wearing heavy armor, and He Man, Yu She, Jiang Yu, and Zhang Lin were lined up behind him.
Zhang Bao's gaze fell on Yu She's body like a knife, and he said in a deep voice: "Yu She, I will leave you with 20,000 people to keep the letter to Guguan, if something goes wrong, I will not be spared!" ”
Yu Shi said proudly: "Please rest assured, the lord is locked up, and if you are trapped, you will die!" ”
Zhang Bao said coldly: "People are in the pass, and people must be in the pass when they die, no matter what, there is no room for loss in Hangu Pass!" ”
Yu Shi straightened up sharply and said sharply: "The last general will take the order." ”
"Hmm~"
Zhang Bao nodded, was about to hit the horse and go, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from the pass, looked back, only to see the three horsemen galloping from the pass, the first one was fluttering, the eyebrows were clear, it was Jia Xu. Jia Xu's face was anxious, and he kept whipping the horse's sleeves and urging the horse to be very sick~
"Wenhe?" Zhang Bao's eyes were stunned, he hurriedly rushed up, and when he came to Jia Xu, he pulled the reins of the horse fiercely, stopped the momentum, and asked loudly, "Why did Wen He come to Hangu Pass?" What happened to Tianshui? ”
Jia Xu's riding skills are not as good as Zhang Bao, he rushed out dozens of steps away and drank the mount and turned back, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and gasped: "My lord, the lower official suddenly thought in Tianshui that Cao Cao in Yuzhou would definitely not sit and watch our army pacify Xiliang, and he would definitely lead troops to attack, lest the lord suffer a loss, so he hurried here." ”
Zhang Bao laughed and said: "Wenhe is really the brains of this general, and this general has indeed received the news that Xiahou Dun, the general of the Cao army, has marched into Luhun, but although it is menacing, this general is not afraid." Now he is about to lead troops to ambush~"
"As expected~" Jia Xu gasped, "Cao Cao is not afraid, what if you add Liu Bei from Luoyang?" ”
"Huh!?" Zhang Bao's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Liu Bei? ”
"Not bad~" Jia Xu nodded and said, "If our army and Cao's army are in a stalemate, Liu Bei may be afraid that he will secretly make a black hand, which will be unfavorable to the lord." ”
Zhang Bao frowned and said: "Although Liu Bei is the captain of Si Li, but his troops are not more than 10,000, and they will only be Guan and Zhang, he Liu Bei dares to do something with our army?" ”
Jia Xu said: "Fei Ye~ If he directly sent troops to attack the lord, Liu Bei naturally wouldn't dare, and now the lord and Cao Jun are fighting, what if the two armies form an alliance?" ”
Zhang Bao's face changed, and a coldness flashed in his eyes, this is definitely possible, at this time, Cao Cao has not yet coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Liu Bei is not the Liu Bei in history who fought against Cao Cao under the banner of orthodoxy, if the two join forces~
Jia Xu turned over and dismounted, drew his sword and drew it on the ground, Liao Liao drew a simple military topographic map centered on Hangu Pass with a few strokes, and then pointed to the map and said to Zhang Bao: "My lord, please see, when our army was in a stalemate with the Cao army, Liu Bei sent a group of men and horses down the Qiu River, directly after taking the side of Tongguan, and then attacking Chang'an, then our army will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen." ”
Zhang Bao said in a deep voice: "Wenhe's meaning, Liu Bei really has the courage to attack Chang'an? ”
Jia Xu said with a smile: "If the lord is that Liu Bei, will he give up this opportunity?" ”
Zhang Bao's eyes sank, silent. Indeed, with Liu Bei's men, Zhang Bao could level Liu Bei in minutes, but now the Yellow Turban army is divided into two, one part is stationed in Tianshui, and the other part is stationed in Hangu Pass with him, and Chang'an is empty in defense. At the time of the stalemate with Cao's army, Liu Bei really only needed to send a soldier and horse to attack Chang'an along the Qiu River, and Chang'an would be in danger.
Thinking of this, a trace of coldness flashed in Zhang Bao's eyes, and he said coldly: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, if Liu Bei comes to play like this when the war is tight, the situation will be very passive." ”
"The lord is wise~" Jia Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a sympathetic smile: "There is a plan that can make Liu Bei have no time to send troops." However, I think that as long as the lord is ready, it is better not to stop Liu Bei from sending troops~"
"Huh!?" Zhang Bao's face was full of doubt, and he didn't understand what Jia Xu meant.
Catching up with Zhang Bao's incomprehensible gaze, Jia Xu's face showed a gloomy and cold color, and he stepped forward and whispered to Zhang Bao~ Zhang Bao's dark eyes showed a look of shock, but then his face showed a cunning color, and he smiled gloomily, "If this plan can be successful, Liu Bei is afraid that he will hate Wenhe to death~"
"Hehe~" Jia Xu said with a smile, "Liu Bei hates it so much, it should be the lord~"
"Uh~" Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Okay, you Jia Wenhe, this pot Lao Tzu is back~"
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Rongshan Village.
Rongshan Village is located in the middle of Luhun and Yangqu, with a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are many horse thieves who are uninhabited.
Zhang Bao bent down and lurked in the artemisia grass more than one person high under the escort of Dian Wei and more than ten cavalry soldiers, hundreds of steps ahead, the black oppressive army swept south like ants across the wasteland, this army lineup is quite rigorous, the strength is about 10,000, and it is divided into left, center, right, front and rear five armies in a regular marching array.
The left and right armies were both cavalry, each with more than 1,000 horsemen.
The front army was pikemen, the rear army was sword and shield soldiers, each with more than 1,000 people, and the Chinese army was composed of heavy soldiers, hoplites and archers, accounting for nearly half of the entire army.
"Poof!"
Dian Wei spit out a stalk of grass in his mouth, turned back to Zhang Bao and said, "Lord, the enemy army has at least more than 2,000 cavalry, as well as archers and heavy infantry, which is not easy to deal with." If we attack from the front, even if we can break through the enemy position, our army is afraid that it will suffer heavy casualties. ”
"Not necessarily!" Zhang Bao looked at the gradually darkening sky, and suddenly a trace of inexplicable coldness flashed in his eyes, and said in a condensed voice, "Winning a battle is not by reasoning, but by fighting!" Whether this battle can be won or not depends on the adaptability of the enemy's commander, hehe. ”
Ahead, Cao Jun Zhongjun.
Xiahoudun leisurely raised his right arm and said loudly: "The whole army stops advancing and camps on the spot." ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Luoyang.
Liu Bei's official residence.
Liu Bei said to Xu Shu with a hesitant expression: "Military advisor, Luoyang and the Son of Heaven are the foundation of our army's life, and we must not afford to lose." However, our army is already scarce, and now it is a bit reckless to rashly become an enemy of Zhang Bao? ”
Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Lord, I know the worries of the lord. However, the alliance between our army and Cao Cao has become a fact, and the grain and grass promised by Cao Cao have arrived in Luoyang. ”
Xu Shu said this, and saw that Liu Bei's face was full of gloom, so he said in a deep voice: "Lord, Luoyang certainly cannot afford to lose. However, as the captain of the school, the lord is free to defend Kyoto and crusade against the traitors. Now Zhang Bao's army is stationed in Hangu Pass, and the hundred officials in the court are looking at the lord, once Cao Cao sent troops to Hangu Pass, and the lord is the captain of the Sili school and the emperor's family, but he refuses to send troops, which makes the hundred officials in the court think of the lord? At least the name of the vegetarian table, the lord can't take it off. If the hundred officials in the court do not stand on the side of the lord~ In the future, the lord will not be able to move an inch~"
Liu Bei's expression was dazed, and Shi Li said: "If it weren't for the reminder of the military advisor, Bei would have almost made a big mistake!" ”
"Lord, please get up quickly~" Xu Shu stretched out his hand to support Liu Bei, his eyes showed a hint of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice, "But the lord is worried, it is not unreasonable." If you leave General Guan to defend Luoyang, General Guan is both civil and military, calm, and more than enough to defend Luoyang! ”
"Hmmm! The words of the military advisor are very much in line with my intentions~" Liu Bei nodded and said, "In this case, I can order Guan Yu to stay in Luoyang, and the lieutenant of this division will personally lead the troops forward~"
Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "The lord is wise~"
