Yang Wenzhao sent Guo Cheng away instead of Zhang Cheng, with a smile on his face.

"Your smile, why does it give me the feeling that it's so obscene!" Zhang Cheng said lying on his stomach.

"Hehe, don't you think this Guo Cheng is very strange?" Yang Wenzhao said strangely: "He didn't congratulate you when you were just promoted, but when you were beaten, you got into trouble but came." ”

"Did he feel uncomfortable when he saw me being beaten? Does he like me? No way! I'm going to lose my holiday! Zhang Cheng deliberately did not answer, and diverted the topic. He just waited for Yang Wenzhao to say.

Yang Wenzhao didn't mind Zhang Cheng's nonsense, he sat down, and while re-medicating Zhang Cheng, he said, "Who is this Guo Cheng?" He's a close confidant of the Overseer! As soon as the commander ordered someone to beat you, he dared to send you medicine? Or is it such a good gold sore medicine? As far as I know, this is very precious, and idlers can't afford to use it! He's a little captain of the personal guard, where is there such a good thing? ”

"What do you want to say?" Zhang Cheng pretended to be puzzled.

"Looking down, this must be the meaning of the Governor!" Yang Wenzhao raised the medicine bottle in his hand and said, "And what Guo Cheng said to you later, I guess, eight times out of ten. Nine is also what the Governor wants to tell you! ”

"You mean, the Governor deliberately wants to promote me to join the army?" After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he laughed.

Yang Wenzhao was speechless, he had seen a thick-skinned person, but he had never seen someone with such a thick skin to him.

"That can't be! Not to mention whether you have enough credit or not! The situation of the First Division alone is worrying! Looking at it from below, sooner or later there will be a battle between the Jizhou army and the barbarian army! But now that the First Division is like this, how can our town make great contributions? Yang Wenzhao continued.

"Well, it's not. Hasn't this Prairie King grabbed enough? Zhang Cheng didn't ask Yang Wenzhao what he thought of the Jizhou Army, but felt that Zha Han was full of food, and he wanted to fight if he didn't go home.

"Zahan is an ambitious and courageous heir. The world of the grassland, the next king of the grassland, must be Zahan's! After he became the king of the steppe, his ambitions would be further expanded. Going south was his goal. And Jizhou is his first battle! So he must understand how strong the Jizhou army is! Look, this battle won't be long! Yang Wenzhao said to Zhang Cheng, his eyes were firm, and he seemed to be very sure of this.

The next day, the scouts came to report, and the barbarian army retreated and hurried to Zhenxiong Pass.

In another two days, 90,000 men and horses of the rear army of the Jizhou army converged with the vanguard troops. After a day of rectification, the army continued north.

Ten days later, the Jizhou army of nearly 100,000 troops was under Zhenxiong Pass. Confronted the barbarian army in the city, both sides had their own concerns, and no one made the first move, just confronted each other like this.

I heard that Zhang Cheng's Chengzi Brigade actually broke the barbarian army of 5,000 elite cavalry, and also killed the first fierce general of the grassland, Bo Duo. Zhao Hui couldn't help but be curious about Zhang Cheng and Tie Zhu, and after meeting him, he felt that Zhang Cheng was plain and his words were extremely mediocre. After some encouragement, I will no longer ask. However, the first town, Pingwu County, suffered relatively large losses in the first battle, and Zhao Hui was reluctant to break the system with his elite like this, and allocated him 3,000 people as a reward. But Zhao Hui was still a little worried about Zhang Cheng as the general of the First Division, but Huo Han said: "Don't worry, general, that kid is pretending to be stupid, I can't see it!" You can rest assured, Zhang Cheng is absolutely capable of leading the first division! ”

With Dr. Hua's full treatment, the 1st Division finally saved the seeds. But nearly a hundred people died. The remaining 560 people survived, plus the 60 Zhangjia Village people brought out by Zhang Cheng. The first division, only six hundred and twenty people remained! Not even a battalion of troops! But these 620 soldiers, all of them were desperate for Zhang Cheng and swore allegiance to him. Zhang Cheng has nothing else to ask for, but the sky does not obey people's wishes. After making up for the battle losses of the Second Division and the Third Division, all the remaining 1,500 people were given to Zhang Cheng, so that the First Division had 2,100 people at once, and the formation was set up at once.

But Zhang Cheng, who had just gotten 1,500 people, was so happy. All the officers of the fire commander and above who had been tied up were sent back.

The words to Huo Han were: "These generals can't afford to wait!" The original item is returned! "Make Huo Han so angry! But in the end, he had to do it!

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Cheng replaced all the veterans who had made military merits according to their military merits, and at the same time let Tie Zhu and Zhang Boss serve as the commanders of the first and second battalions respectively. Qin Chao and Fan Zhong were originally lieutenants, and they acted calmly and cautiously, so they became the deputies of the two Tiezhu.

A hundred soldiers who are good at shooting were formed together to form a brigade of their own, and Huang Ling became the brigade commander!

The scout brigade was also established, and the dog was appointed as the brigade commander and the second stunned man was the deputy. Of course, after that, the dog and the second stunned son also reactivated the names they hadn't used for decades, Li Hao and Yao Han.

Qi Tian took the veterans to form Zhang Cheng's personal guard, and Qi Tian was the team leader.

Outside the army of 100,000, it is still a corner.

Zhang Cheng pulled his war horse in broad daylight and brushed the horse next to the barracks. I also looked at the first pass in the world with a height of eight zhang and two thick battles in front - Zhenxiong Pass!

Yang Wenzhao on the side still looked down on Zhang Cheng, and kept rolling his eyes. Iron Pillar sat on the ground, wiping his "new weapon", which was not really a new weapon. On the original basis, an iron ring was added to both sides of the wooden stick to play a role in reinforcement. But the iron pillar just can't put it down. Boss Zhang sighed at the pig-killing knife he gave him and wiped it with his clothes. Qin Chao and Fan Zhong looked left and right, not knowing what they should do.

Qi Tian stood beside Zhang Cheng with a war knife and didn't say a word, and Huang Ling carried the bow and arrow he made himself, and didn't say a word. Huang Ling's bow and arrow are special to others, the bow body is longer than the standard bow in the general army, and the bowstring doesn't know what to use to make of, just pull constantly! The arrows were even more awesome, and he slightly changed the arrows of the arrows and tied them with a small rope the thickness of chopsticks, which, according to him, would increase the range of the arrows.

Li Hao and Yao Han were also bored at the moment, wandering left and right and not knowing what to do.

Yang Wenzhao couldn't help it, he spoke: "You are so happy, you are so happy to brush horses here alone!" Don't you want to think about how this battle is going to be fought? ”

Zhang Cheng brushed the horse and said, "What do I want to do!" I'm not a general! If you are not in your position, you can't seek your own politics! I think you're boring, why don't you help me farm the horse too? Yang Wenzhao hurriedly took two steps back and kept waving his hand. Everyone laughed.

Qi Tian, who had been silent, said at this time: "Don't worry about joining the army, how this battle should be fought is not something you and I can decide." Instead of sitting here and speculating, it's better to relax and bask in the sun. The Boss is right! Hehe! ”

"I appreciate the boss like this, no matter what time it is, he always looks like Mount Tai is collapsing in front of him and he shouldn't look like he should be. Let our brothers have the bottom! Look at it, if you really start a war and follow the boss, you can't be wrong! Boss Zhang shook the pig-killing knife and said.

"Whatever is foreseen is established, and what is not prepared is wasted! The ancients did not deceive me! The general is a freak, and you can't compare with him! You all have to be on your own in the future, and you must be the first to anticipate the enemy, hey, don't go! I'm not done yet! Yang Wenzhao had just started the formation and wanted to teach everyone a lesson, but everyone scattered and ran away one by one.

"Boss, I've convinced you! Such a group of ruffians and scoundrels can be twisted into a rope in your hands and become an elite hero! Yang Wenzhao was completely defeated by these people, and said to Zhang Cheng helplessly.

"Huh. If you want to really screw the brothers together, you mainly rely on sincerity! I, Zhang Cheng, have no reservations about my brothers, and naturally my brothers trust me! You Yang Wenzhao just have too many ideas, are you tired! It's not that you have any bad intentions! Zhang Cheng put down the horse brush and said to Yang Wenzhao.

"You don't want to! They don't want to! That's not for me to use my brain when I join the army! What do you want me to do? Why don't I move a rocking chair and sit down in the sun? Yang Wenzhao was a little angry with Zhang Cheng, and said angrily.

"Didn't I tell you everything? I figured I'd have to wait a little longer, and Zahan was clearly waiting for his moment. And the general threw a rat bogey. The battle situation is like a barrel of explosives, and what is needed now is a guide. Flames, detonate them! Zhang Cheng said.

"Well, that's exactly what the general said. Looking down, the general is more anxious for a decisive battle! Gyeongju has been attacking and disturbing Zezhou, and the lord has long wanted to clean up Gyeongju! If it weren't for the rear, I'm afraid I would have started a long time ago! Yang Wenzhao thought about it and said.

A flying horse suddenly rushed into the Chinese army, Zhang Cheng threw the horse brush into the bucket and said, "The big war is about to begin!" ”

Sure enough, the next day, Zhao Hui ordered Quanjin to attack Zhenxiong Pass with all his might! 10,000 people in the tenth town rushed to Zhenxiong Pass with ladders and crashing cars!

Pan Shixun, the commander of the tenth town, stood at the foot of Zhenxiong Pass, looking depressedly at the soldiers who had been attacking the city all day and night, and the soldiers who had fought bloodily were exhausted. Pan Shixun received Zhao Hui's death order to go all out and take Zhenxiong Pass at all costs! He is so reckless of casualties to storm the city!

But Pan Shixun watched the catapult and oil bomb truck smash the boulders and oil canisters one by one towards the city, and the soldiers of the tenth town had just climbed the ladder and had just touched the city, when they were smashed down by the people of Jizhou at the head of the city with rolling stones and giant trees!

That's right! It's the people of Jizhou! They were forced by Zahan to catch up with the city and use the people of Jizhou to deal with the soldiers of Jizhou!

Zahan is worthy of being the next generation of the grassland eagle, he used the people of Jizhou to guard the Zhenxiong Pass, and the Jizhou army would have some consideration when attacking the city, and could not attack the city with all its might. Zahan's trick is not poisonous! At the same time, his steppe master was unscathed! Kill two birds with one stone!

In the face of a military master like Zahan, Pan Shixun only felt a sense of powerlessness in the war! At the end of the day, he lost nearly 3,000 soldiers in the tenth town, and if he continued to fight, he was afraid that the tenth town would be over!

Seeing that Pan Shixun attacked for a day without gains, and buried thousands of soldiers in vain, Zhao Hui's face was ugly, Zhao Hui didn't expect that he had obtained the Son of Heaven, but he had lost Zhenxiong Pass, and if he wanted to take it again, he was afraid that this battle would have to pay a huge price!

But Zhenxiongguan must be recaptured! That's the only barrier against the Northern Barbarians! With the loss of Zhenxiong Pass and the opening of the gates, Jizhou, and even Zezhou and Jingzhou are completely exposed to the iron hooves of the barbarians, and they will be attacked, harassed, and attacked at any time! If he Zhao wants to chase the Central Plains again, it will be a bubble!

"Let Pan Shixun step back and rest for the night! Fight again tomorrow! Zhao Hui shook his head helplessly, he knew that Pan Shixun had done his best.

Hearing the sound of Mingjin withdrawing his troops, Pan Shixun looked behind him and immediately smiled! shouted at the soldiers who were still attacking at the head of the city: "Quick! Get the down, didn't you hear Mingjin call it up? Pan Shixun kept waving his retreating hands and dancing!

"Such a general, the Zhao family is nothing more than that!" Zahan glanced contemptuously at Pan Shixun under the city, and turned away!

Huo Han gathered his three generals, and in the brightly lit camp, Huo Han pointed to the direction of the city and said: "Zahan used my Jizhou people to guard the city wall for him, so that my Jizhou soldiers could not attack the city with all their strength. Our first town, sooner or later! Everyone, let's talk about it! What should we do? ”

The three of them were silent, and Zhang Cheng even took out the dagger, wiped it, and ignored everyone completely. When Tian Haitao saw him like this, he was angry! Slapping the table and glaring at him, he scolded: "Zhang Cheng! We are discussing the major affairs of military aircraft, you are here to get your knife, the military aircraft is heavy, how can you be so childish! ”

"OMG! I'm in your way again, am I? Did the commander say that I delayed the military aircraft? Look at the general, what did you say? You're arguing all day long! You're not tired! Zhang Cheng said almost speechlessly. As long as there is a meeting, as long as he can meet Tian Haitao, this kid will try his best to get along with Zhang Cheng!

"That's it! Don't! Quarrel when you meet! I'm tired of hearing it! This governor tells you that in ten days the first town will be sent to the front! Blessed yourselves! Go back! Zhang Cheng stays! Huo Han slapped the table and said angrily!

The two of them left in a huff. Huo Han looked at him angrily and said, "Can you save some snacks?" It's a bit of a general, okay? ”

"I'm not a general, what do you want to be!" Zhang Cheng bowed his head and said!

"Still struggling with that code? Didn't I tell you? As long as you make meritorious contributions in this battle, you will not be able to run! Okay, I know you have a lot of ghost ideas, let's talk about it, how to fight! Huo Han laughed.

looked at Huo Han, he knew in his heart that Huo Han had always been very protective of him, so he was naturally grateful. He thought for a moment and said, "Commander, now is not the time for a decisive battle. Judging from the last general, the general will definitely drag Zahan down and then seek the opportunity for a decisive battle! From Zahan's point of view, he will definitely wait until all the people of Jizhou are killed and injured before he makes a move. In other words, judging from the current situation, there is still some time before the two armies will fight a decisive battle! When the time comes, the Great General will definitely send you to the front! No hurry! ”

After Huo Han repeatedly considered Zhang Cheng's words, he muttered: "Hey! Oh, yes! You're right! ”

Seeing that Huo was still sad, Zhang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about the commander." The decisive battle between the two armies will definitely not be a tough battle between you and me on the city. I expected that instead of letting the soldiers defend Zhenxiong Pass and resist like a trapped beast, he would prefer to open up a position on the plains and use the mobility advantage of brute cavalry to defeat his opponent! ”

"Hmmm! You're right! Wild dogs love this way of fighting. Moreover, the brute dogs are not good at defending the city, and only in this way can their advantages be maximized! Huo Han nodded thoughtfully, his eyes revealing great appreciation for Zhang Cheng.

Looking at the outside of the tent, Zhang Cheng lowered his voice and said to Huo Han: "Commander, even so, you can't completely defeat the barbarian army!" I have a way to do it once and for all, but I just don't know if the governor dares to do it! ”

"Once and for all? How? Do you still want to completely wipe out the barbarian army? Huo Han laughed.

"Not to mention complete elimination, but at least it will greatly damage its vitality, and it will not dare to act rashly in a few years!" Zhang Cheng said with great confidence.

"I can't say it yet. If you say that, it won't work! The last general just wants to ask, does the commander want to make meritorious service? This matter is very risky, if it doesn't work, it will be benevolent! And you can't tell anyone beforehand! General, not either! Zhang Cheng said as he observed Huo Han's face. Huo Han was a little curious at first, but when he heard the end, he groaned, and finally fell silent.

After a long time, Huo Han asked tentatively: "Can't even the general speak?" Do you want me to surrender? No way! We must cooperate with the army! to have a chance of winning! After a pause, Huo Han said again: "You kid is not allowed to cause trouble for me, everything must be discussed with me!" Suddenly, he seemed to think of something again, and he asked with a straight face: "Zhang Cheng, is there something you kid is hiding from me!"

"None? If you really want to surrender, you don't have to hide it from the general! What you want to do, it's definitely not that simple! Also, where have you sent more than 2,000 of your men in the past two days? Don't think I don't know anything! ”

Unexpectedly, Huo Hanming knew that he had transferred people away, but he didn't investigate him. Huo Han always does everything by himself, this trust makes Zhang Cheng moved, and he loves him very much, Zhang Cheng is grateful to him from the bottom of his heart!

"Rest assured! I will never do anything against you! Commander, I ask to see the General! Zhang Cheng stood up and said solemnly.

"Good!" Huo Han didn't say anything, and directly agreed. Because he knows that Zhang Cheng is not in tune on weekdays, but once he is serious, it is definitely a big deal!
