Seeing that everyone listened very carefully, Chen Gong continued: "And this time the Xiliang Army is not monolithic, their main will be Guo Yan, but there are two deputy generals, one makes Niu Fu, the other makes Zhang Ji, Niu Fu will not talk about it first, let's talk about Zhang Ji first, Zhang Ji is a veteran warlord of the Xiliang Army, he is Li Yu Guo Yan, another powerful person in the Xiliang Army, so he is actually in a competitive relationship with Guo Yan, I guess that when fighting, Guo Yan will definitely let Zhang Ji's 3,000 men and horses rush to the front, This can weaken his strength, and at the same time, it can also weaken his prestige, and also reduce his status in Dong Zhuo's heart, and Zhang Ji is scheming, and he must be on guard against this, so this is a hidden danger in the Xiliang army.

Liu Zhi was also very surprised to see that Chen Gong actually had such an in-depth study of the Xiliang Army, and he said: "Mr. Chen, please continue, what you said is exactly what we need to master. ”

Chen Gong nodded and continued: "Let's talk about Niu Fu again, you may have heard that Dong Zhuo just married his daughter to Niu Fu, and in this way, Niu Fu has become Dong Zhuo's descendant, and his status in the Xiliang Army is even above Li Dao Guo Yan, and the main general of this Eastern Expedition seems to be Guo Yan, but in fact, he has to be checked and balanced by Niu Fu, so the contradictions and interests within the Xiliang Army can be said to be unclear. ”

Xu Chu spoke quickly, although he listened to Chen Gong for a long time, but it didn't seem to have much to do with the war, so he asked, "Mr. Chen, what does this have to do with us?" ”

Chen Gong said with a smile: "For the general, you should grasp the details of the other party and have an overview of the overall situation, so that you will not make some mistakes that should not be made, General Xu Chu, please keep it in mind." ”

"In this way, we do have a lot of chances to win this battle, my lord, should we change our fighting style?"

After Chen Gong's words were finished, Guo Jia thought of a plan.

At this time, the Xiliang army had already killed Zhongmu, but it was already empty here, and the angry Guo Yan ordered the city to be set on fire and burned Zhongmu County.

Soon after, spies came to report that a large number of people had retreated south to Yingchuan County, and Guo Yan immediately ordered the Xiliang army to rush to Yingchuan immediately, preparing to intercept and kill this group of people.

Sure enough, as Chen Gong expected, Zhang Ji's army was appointed as the vanguard by Guo Yan, and Guo Yan told them to rush south, and they must be intercepted before these people run away.

Although Zhang Ji was unwilling, they had already been attacked before, and at this time, it was basically certain that the person who attacked them was the army coming from the south, either the Yingchuan army or the Runan army, and his army was not many in number, if he was ambushed on the way, he was afraid that he would suffer heavy losses, but Guo Yan was the main general after all, so his order Zhang Ji had to listen.

However, after Zhang Ji led the army to leave the army, he ordered to slow down, he sent a lot of scouts to inquire about the intelligence first, to see if there were a large number of troops around the people who had withdrawn from Zhongmu County, if there was an army to protect him, he would go to attack, if there was no army protection, he would ignore these people and let them leave, if Zhang Ji blamed it, he said that he didn't catch up, just run away for the other party.

Zhang Xiu was puzzled by this and asked, "Father, why does the other party have no one to protect us from attacking, but we still attack when the other party has heavy protection?" ”

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Your father and I naturally have my reasons for doing this, you see, that group of people has more than 10,000 people, and the army that protects them is only four or five thousand people at most, and they are all infantry, let me ask you, do you say that 5,000 infantry will be the opponent of our 3,000 elite cavalry?" ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head, five thousand infantry is definitely not the opponent of cavalry, especially in this kind of plain area, the infantry has no power to fight back, can only become the cavalry lamb to the slaughter, let alone five thousand people, even if it is 10,000 people, I am afraid that it is enough to choke.

Seeing this, Zhang Ji smiled and said, "Now you should understand what I mean, right?" The enemy army that appears in front is not terrible, even if they are 10,000 people, I don't care about it, they want to protect more than 10,000 civilians who have no power to fight back, they must not be able to concentrate on fighting us, and we can use our mobility, not only to defeat them, but also to kill all of them, none of them can escape, but if the other party only sends a few people out to protect, or even no one is sent, then this thing is a little strange, I guess they must have ambushed the army somewhere, and if we attacked, then we would probably be ambushed, and we must not know the situation of the enemy, and if we were ambushed, it would be very troublesome, and even the possibility of total annihilation, so I would be so careful. ”

Looking at the team of people who were about to walk into a large valley in the distance, Zhang Xiu nodded understandingly, and began to understand Zhang Ji's words a little.

"How is it, has the Xiliang Army followed?"

Chen Gong saw Xu Chu coming back with the army, and hurriedly asked.

"No, these guys seem to have very smart noses, as if they know that we are ambushing here, they chased quite fiercely at first, but they didn't do anything when they chased behind, it's really incomprehensible."

Xu Chu complained, just now, the three thousand men and horses of the Xiliang Army were violently killing in the direction of the refugees, Xu Chu had already ordered the soldiers to be ready for battle, but the Xiliang Army suddenly stopped, and then watched the people of Zhongmu County leave, which made him very angry.

Chen Gong sighed, the other party should have seen through his plan, so the other party's main general was still very cautious in using troops, thinking of this, he immediately asked: "What banner is the Xiliang army chasing over, whose army is it?" ”

Xu Chu thought for a moment and said: "It seems to be Zhang Ji's troops, I saw a black silver-edged flag with a big 'Zhang' written on it, it should be Zhang Ji's people." ”

Chen Gong sighed: "No wonder you are so cautious, it turned out to be Zhang Ji, an old fox, so, General Xu, you let your troops ····· like this"

Zhang Ji's troops did not leave, there are many roads to the south of Yingchuan, but they must pass through Jingshan on the side of Xinzheng, and this is also the route taken by the previous team of ordinary people.
