Nanyang.

Dancing Yin City.

Under the light of the setting sun, a piece of gunsmoke, a corpse with broken hands and feet spread all over the city, blood seems to stain the red earth, and the Cao Wei military flag has been cut off on the ground, in exchange for a Dongwu Golden Dragon battle flag flying for nine days.

"Bury him!"

Lu Bu stood at the head of the city, looked at Hu Che'er, the fierce general of Xiliang who died under his halberd, and said lightly to the generals under his command: "Then clean up the battlefield, and send scouts, keep an eye on the direction of Wancheng, if Zhang Xiu sends troops, come and report immediately!" ”

"No!" Several generals nodded.

"Yuan Dynasty, can you still fight again?" Lu Bu looked at Ai Jiang.

"Commander, there is a certain family to fight!"

Dong Xi stood up stiffly with his injured body, and shouted: "If you don't fight Cao Wei's army, Dong Xi will never fall." ”

"Good!"

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction: "You lead a division of cavalry, ambush in Yangshui River, Zhang Xiururuo sent troops, let him come over, and then cut off their back road, I want to wipe them all out and completely sweep Nanyang!" ”

"Commander, what if Zhang Xiu doesn't send troops?" A division commander asked.

"Then I'll let him go!"

Lu Bu squinted slightly, looking up at the northeast sky: "Nanyang has been broken, and the north is imminent, if Zhang Xiu sends troops, I will naturally clean him up, if he guards Wancheng, let him be a turtle with a shrunken head, and wait for Yuzhou we take, shrink him in the future!" ”

"No!"

The generals nodded their heads and began to move rapidly.

――――――――――――

Wancheng.

The night moon is in the sky, and the stars are dotted.

In the Nanyang Palace, Zhang Xiu's horse golden knife sat at the top of the hall, in the empty hall, except for him. There was also a person, located in his place of hand, a middle-aged Confucian who he was very familiar with.

"Wenhe, it's been many years since our master and servant parted, but I didn't expect that it was you who His Majesty sent to supervise the war this time?" Zhang Xiu squinted slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

At this time, Jia Xu was sent into Nanyang. Cao Cao obviously began to distrust him Zhang Xiu.

"General Zhang, you are a little passive and slacking off here, and you have not been able to repel Lu Bu's soldiers and horses for a long time, which makes Your Majesty a little annoyed!" Jia Xu said calmly: "Your Majesty asked me to ask you, are you planning to vote for Wu?" ”

"Wenhe, don't you know me yet?"

The corners of Zhang Xiu's mouth raised a sneer, and he said righteously: "Is my Zhang Xiu the kind of person who goes to the twilight?" Besides, who is Lu Fengxian, do you know that he is so easy to deal with? I can defend Nanyang here. It's already done with all your might. ”

"General Zhang, what kind of person you are, a certain family understands, but many people in the Great Wei Dynasty don't understand!" Jia Xu smiled slightly: "There are a lot of people who impeach you in the court now, I just want to remind you not to make mistakes!" ”

"Self-error? So how do you want to? ”

Zhang Xiu was silent for half a minute, smiled coldly, and his eyes became as cold and sharp as a blade, staring at Jia Xu. shouted and said: "Do you want to remove me Zhang Xiu's military power? ”

"Don't dare!"

Jia Xu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No one can control Zuo Yangwei's military power. Except for you Zhang Xiu, but General Zhang, you have thought clearly, it is not a good thing to let the people in the court hold grudges! ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"Attack!" Jia Xu said: "You have been on the defensive, and you can't attack." This makes many people think that you have the heart of fornicating with Soochow, as long as you can attack, you can fight back against them and clear the suspicion! ”

"Humph!"

Zhang Xiu snorted coldly and slapped the book case. The voice was cold: "I and other soldiers, go to the front line to fight the fire, how can it be their turn to point fingers, now the Wu army is about to hit my Wancheng, on the western front, the Wu army has crossed the thorny water and taken Nieyang City, my subordinate Zhang Xian has been killed in battle, he Lu Fengxian wishes I could send troops to fight him, I am not stupid, how can I be fooled!" ”

The battle situation in Nanyang became very fast.

Three days ago, the main force of the Wu army had begun to gradually approach Wancheng by opening a gap in the direction of Nieyang from the west, forcibly crossing the thorny water.

The defense of the Iron Triangle broke a corner, which made Zhang Xiu uneasy.

Therefore, he could only shrink his forces, wanting to rely on the strong city of Wancheng to hold the direction of Nanyang.

Now that the court still wants him to attack, how can he attack and compete for the combat effectiveness of the main force? That is not an opponent at all, although Zuo Yangwei under his command is also an elite, but it is really a cut short compared to Lu Bu's main force of the Flying Tiger.

This is related to the military training system of the two dynasties.

Except for the main force of the four guards trained in the suburbs of Luoyang, which was the elite main force equipped by the court, the rest of the soldiers and horses were all trained locally.

But the Wu army is different, whether it is the establishment, training, weaponry, and logistics of the Wu army, they are basically unified by the Eastern Wu court.

Zuo Yangwei and the Flying Tiger Legion are like the central elite and local miscellaneous armies, and they can still fight again and again before, that is because the main force of the Flying Tiger Legion has always been in Shu in the west.

Now that Shu has been taken by Eastern Wu, the Flying Tiger Legion is equivalent to pressing the main force in the north, and Zuoyangwei is naturally invincible.

"General Zhang, do you think that if you defend Wancheng and don't attack, the Wu army will be in a stalemate with you all the time?" Jia Xu sneered, he said pointedly: "The more you don't dare to resist, the more the Wu army will gain an inch, and then Lu Bu will inevitably concentrate the main force and assault one side, once it reaches this point, Nanyang will lose!" ”

If you keep it for a long time, you will lose, Zhang Xiu, a fierce general on the battlefield, doesn't understand this truth, but now some ostriches have lost confidence in this war, so they have some hearts to get by.

Therefore, Jia Xu must Zhang Xiu lead his troops to counterattack, as long as the attack is the defense, in order to keep the occupation of Nanyang, it is best to completely press this side of the battlefield in Nanjun, which will make the Wu army stumble, then it is better to fight.

"You mean, you want someone to counterattack?"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, his expression moved slightly, thinking about the method proposed by Jia Xu.

"Report!"

At this time, a panicked voice came from outside.

"Come in!" When Zhang Xiu heard this, his face was straight, and he hurriedly drank.

"General, in the early hours of yesterday morning, Lu Bu led the main force of the Wu army to storm Wuyin City, after two days and one night of fighting, Wuyin City could not be defended, General Hu Che'er was killed by Lu Bu at the head of the city, the army was scattered, Wuyin was broken, and now Lu Bu has led the main force to drive straight into ......" The scout knelt on the ground and said in a report.

"What?"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, the whole person's brain buzzed, his eyes widened, and the breath on his body was so cold that the entire hall could freeze three feet, he gritted his teeth and asked, "You mean, Hu Che'er has died in battle?" ”

Hu Che'er, the first fierce general under his command, was once favored by Cao Cao, and later after he gradually gained Cao Cao's trust, he returned to his side, and has always been his unloseable deputy general, like a brother.

"Yes!" The scout nodded.

"Wuyin was broken by the Wu army?"

Jia Xu's face also became extremely blue, after all, he was a step too late, and he still couldn't stop Lu Bu's footsteps to the north, Wuyin was broken, and Lu Bu wanted to go north, so it was easy: "Damn, this will be dangerous in Yuzhou, the east and west will attack together, and the two strong troops will inevitably break through the Yuzhou defense line!" ”

"Lu Bu !!!"

Zhang Xiu was also furious, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar: "A certain family is inseparable from you, come here, immediately pass on my military order, beat drums and gather troops, and a certain family wants to fight to the death with Lu Feng!" ”

"No!"

Jia Xu stood up and said hurriedly.

"Jia Wenhe, it was you who made me attack just now, and now it's you who stopped me!" Zhang Xiu's eyes seemed to condense flames, and his whole body was full of cold murderous aura, staring at Jia Xu coldly, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"General, this time, that time!"

Jia Xu took a deep breath, calmed his mood, walked out, looked at the marching map behind Zhang Xiu who hung first, and pointed to a position on it: "General Zhang, Wuyin was broken by the Wu army, do you know what this means?" ”

"It means that the Wu army can already drive straight into the land of Yuzhou for a long time!" Zhang Xiu gritted her teeth.

"That's right!"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "If you attack Wuyin at this time, then you will fall into his Lu Bu's scheme, and he can sweep away Nanyang's troops." ”

"I don't understand!"

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was slightly cold: "I only know that I want to avenge my subordinates and kill Lu Bu!" ”

"General Zhang, this is not just the battle of Nanyang, but the battle of the entire Kanto region, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou have all been dragged into this battle!"

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "If Wuyin City has not been lost, then I will definitely let you attack, defend as an attack, and attack as a defense, this is the best policy, but now that Wuyin has been lost, then there is no point in you attacking again, you must maintain your strength, take Wancheng as a nail, and nail it to Nanyang, as long as you wait until Lu Bu's main force goes north, then you can use the main force to go south, besiege Jingzhou and save Yuzhou, breaking the trend of the Wu army going north in one fell swoop, and making great contributions to the Kwantung Campaign!" ”

"You mean, let me stand still?"

Zhang Xiu suddenly understood: "Then go south, go straight to Jingzhou, and save Zhao from Wei in the thirty-six plans!" ”

"Now that's all you can do!"

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "One son is wrong and loses all the plates, you didn't dare to attack before, you have already lost the first hand of Wuyin, and now Lu Bu has broken through Wuyin, Nanyang's defense line, and can no longer stop Wu Jun's footsteps!" ”

"But will Your Majesty believe me?" Zhang Xiu thought about it and said worriedly.

"Then it's up to you to do it!"

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a yin smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "Yuankang is already an adult, I will enter the court for him to be filial piety and honesty, and fill the vacancy of Yin Duwei of Luoyang Mansion now?" ”

Yuankang is Zhang Xiu's son, Zhang Quan's character.

Zhang Quan's long tiger head and tiger brain, a martial arts inheritance of his father Zhang Xiu, can be regarded as a young general of the younger generation.

"Proton?" Zhang Xiu's face was ugly.

"General Zhang, now that Wuyin has been broken, the court will inevitably blame you, if you can't make Your Majesty trust you again, then what you are waiting for will be the holy decree of asking for sin!" Jia Xu said lightly: "This is the only way to calm the court's doubts about you!" (To be continued.) )
