In fact, not only Zhang Tuo, but also Pei Xi and others, the biggest weakness of the Huguan garrison was undoubtedly exposed in this matter, that is, suspicion and mutual distrust. If this were not the case, the previous battle would not have been so miserably.

After all, today's pot army is a hodgepodge of soldiers and horses from various departments, and it is not a direct system, and among all of them, Zhang Zhuan's strength is not as good as Pei Xi, who rushed to support. However, after a tearing at night, Pei Xi's troops fell and fell, and even today's troops are only between Zhang and Zhang! Although the situation of the weak and the strong has been alleviated, Zhang Tuo can't laugh at all, this military group is too loose!

Such a military bloc can fight a battle with the wind, and when driven by interests, it can move forward in unison. And if the war is unfavorable, it will fall apart.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Liu Wen stepped forward, although the hope of winning was only more than half of it, but compared with the previous depression, at least there was a trace of hope! Of course, Zhang Chuan also knew that Liu Wen was looking at his own face for all this, because he knew that Liu Wen was such a person, who had nothing to do with himself, and hung high!

Geng Chang defeated Yu Ze, although on the surface, it was a full twenty rounds of "worthy" victory, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Geng Chang did not do his best! In this way, everyone more or less settled down, looking at Geng Chang's martial arts, even if he was not the opponent of the veteran in Yu Ze's mouth, but at least it was a level, even if he didn't win, he wouldn't lose! So. Wen has Liu Wen, Wu has Geng Chang, Yu Ze, and it's not that they don't have the strength to fight!

When Zhang flipped into Liu Wen's military tent, he saw that Liu Wen was still as usual. Sipping fragrant tea and reading idle books. The furnishings in the tent were also very simple, except for the necessary table slips, there were only a few maza for sitting in the meeting.

The military tent was not large, and the tent was surprisingly quiet, and the only sound was the slight sound of bamboo slips flipping--pleasant. Crisp. Although, Zhang Tuo repeatedly asked to change to a better environment with Liu Wen, at least a house. However, they were all rejected by Liu Wen with a smile.

When Zhang Tuo walked into Liu Wen's military tent, Liu Wen didn't care too much, although Zhang Tuo was the boss at the top. Just put down the bamboo slips. With a faint smile: "The big war is about to begin." Why is the general so idle, and there is still time to come to me, could it be that the general still has doubts in his heart

"There is a matter that is still unclear, and I hope Bo Jian will solve his doubts."

"Oh?" Liu Wen asked with a little curiosity: "What is the matter with the general?" ”

Zhang Pan asked curiously: "Every time Ben Jiang comes, Bo Jian, you don't have to look up to see it, you know that it's me, and every time it's like this, Ben Jiang really doesn't know." Can you understand the footsteps of everyone? ”

"Hehe, that's it." Listened to Zhang Xuan's words. Liu Wen couldn't help but chuckle, "The general thinks too highly of the general." ”

After laughing, seeing that Zhang turned his face seriously, Liu Wen shook his head and said softly: "General, just imagine, how many generals and colonels in this battalion often come to me?" Even if some people have come, how can they be as respectful and courteous as the general, and how can they have the mutual respect of the general as an equal? Of course, the sound of each person's footsteps is also different, and you can distinguish one from the other just by the footsteps. ”

After Liu Wen finished speaking, Zhang Tuo was even more impressed, and couldn't help but praise: "See the truth in the subtleties, see the magic in the plain, Bojian talent, Zhang Tuan is never enough, but under my account, it is a bend to Bojian talent." ”

After speaking, Zhang Chuan groaned slightly, and then said: "Bojian, since you know my intention, I don't know if you can teach me a good plan?" ”

Liu Wen groaned slightly, and said: "Most of the enemy generals are brave, mortals are invincible, and the enemy army is quite elite, this is not where our army's ability and enemy are, and there are great sages and good people around to help each other, and it is difficult to fight urgently." If you have to fight against the water, the chances of winning are not much, so tomorrow the general should be more careful. ”

"This?" Zhang Chuan suddenly hesitated, and asked puzzledly: "But, didn't you say that you were frugal during the day?" There is at least a sixty percent chance of winning, how can you ...... at this moment?"

"Hehe, that's just what Liu said to stabilize the morale of the army!" Liu Wen smiled bitterly, frowned, and said with a long sigh: "There is no hope of victory, bet on whether Han Fei and others can break Liu's formation, if not, it can stop the footsteps of his army." If it is broken, the pot will be closed ......"

"Huh?!" Zhang Chuan exclaimed in surprise, and for a while, he was stunned.

"In this case, does the general still have to fight?" Liu Wen smiled faintly, looked at Zhang Fu very calmly, and waited quietly for his reply.

"Bojian, if you stick to it, don't you even have a fifty percent hope? Please also speak up! After a long time, Zhang turned his face solemnly and asked in a deep voice.

"Hold on, you will lose!" Bo Jian didn't even think about it, as if everything was in his chest, and blurted out. Obviously, Liu Wen had already thought about everything for Zhang Tuo, and it seemed that he would expect Zhang Tuo to come and ask him. "So, General, you still need to plan ahead and think about the future. Although, if the victory is unsuccessful tomorrow, Geng Chang will fight the enemy again tomorrow. Geng Chang's martial arts and formation make the odds a little higher, but it can't reach sixty percent! Unless, Geng Chang can kill the enemy's commander! But is there one man in the enemy army who is capable of fighting? Let's not talk about the veteran who doesn't know the depth of martial arts, that is, Han Fei, who can win against Lu Bu, and then there is that Dian Wei, all of whom are thousands of enemies, Geng Chang is powerful, but his two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, and it is so difficult to kill the enemy's main general! ”

"What's more, Taiyuan and Shangdang, especially Shangdang, the land where grain is stored is mostly attached to the fire, and now, the grain and grass of the army are insufficient, and if the supply is sufficient, it is difficult to maintain a month's time, save a little, and it will last for two months at most, without food, what to use to fight? The morale of the soldiers is lost in the first place! And Han Feijun, backed by Jizhou, which has the most abundant grain and grass in the world, can be said that I don't have to worry about grain and grass for safety. ”

"Sizzle......" Zhang Chuan gasped, until the tea time passed, Zhang Tuo Fang was heavy, and said in a muffled voice: "So, tomorrow." Fighting Array! ”

After speaking, Zhang Ji seemed to be out of strength, and collapsed on the maza. grabbed the tea bowl in front of Jia Xu and drank it in a big gulp.

"The general has thought about it?" Liu Wen asked with a smile.

"Well, I've figured it out!" Once he made up his mind, the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed, he rolled his eyes and stared at Liu Wen, and said, "Bojian, you and I have a lot of friendship." When you tell the truth to Zhang, the pot is not guaranteed, where should Zhang retreat? ”

Return to Zhang Yang. Zhang Pan didn't even think about it, as soon as the pot was closed, he knew what fate awaited Zhang Yang. If he really returned to Zhang Yang's side. Then, once Zhang Yang loses power, the only thing that awaits them is to catch a turtle in an urn...... Well, of course, and fleeing to the savannah.

Can savannah......

They are Han Chinese, and although they have had a lot of contact with the grassland, it does not mean that they will adapt to life on the grassland.

The terrain is too complicated. To put it simply, the whole is a large basin. Surrounded by mountains, there is the Great Wall in the north, there are only three passes connecting other states and counties, Huguan is one of them, Keiguan is in the south, and it is connected to Guanzhong; Yanmen Pass is in the north, which is the northern barrier to block the Xiongnu and Xianbei. It can be said that the three levels are not broken, and the state is as stable as Mount Tai.

But if Han Fei really had the intention of invading and annexing the state, how could he not think of taking the three passes first?

"Yuan Shao!" Liu Wen didn't hesitate at all, and replied as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Yuan Shao?" Zhang Fu whispered a few times, then raised his head and asked, "Bojian, why is Yuan Shao there, not Guanzhong or even Liangzhou?" You must know that compared to Yuan Shao, we are much more familiar with Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and if it goes well, it is not difficult to occupy a city or even a county! ”

"General, you are confused!" Liu Wen shook his head, got up and looked outside the tent, and after making sure that there was no one, he returned to Zhang Zhuan's side and said in a low voice: "General, in the first battle of Huguan, if you say that you have the deepest friendship with Han Fei, it is the lord." Once Huguan is pacified by Han Fei, then its next target, more than ninety percent, will be the entire merger of states, with Jizhou as the backing, how long does the general think that the merger state can last? and the state is in the hands of that Han Fei, so what is his next target? It must be bordering Guanzhong, followed by Liangzhou. The general retreated to Guanzhong or Liangzhou, not to mention how Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, and Han Sui would treat the general, but Han Fei was coming soon, wouldn't the general be in the middle of the war again? And voted for Yuan Shao, not to mention that the lord had an alliance with Yuan Shao earlier, and the general should take refuge, at least with Yuan Shao's reputation, there will be no war in three or five years, and there are no strong troops under Yuan Shao's command, if the general can bring a team of people, are you afraid that it will not be reused by Yuan Shao? Isn't that wonderful? ”

"If it weren't for Bojian to teach me, Zhang would have almost taken a wrong step!" Zhang Chuan suddenly bowed deeply to Liu Wen, and said solemnly: "Bojian, tomorrow's war, if Zhang has misfortune, please ask Bojian to take care of the children at home, so that Zhang has no regrets even though he dies!" ”

Zhang Wen has only one son under his knees, surnamed Zhang Mingchen, the word Ziyuan, and he is just the year of the crown.

"What the general said, Ziyuan, this kid is very sensible, and the last general also likes it very much." Liu Wen frowned, it's over, the burden is here!

"Bo Jianmo didn't agree to Zhang, or ......" Zhang Pan listened to Liu Wen's prevarication, a little unhappy, and asked unwillingly.

"General Hugh has to think more, Ziyuan is Liu's nephew, the general can rest assured!" Liu Wen smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't want to brush off his friend, so he said helplessly.

"In this way, Zhang Tuo is relieved!" A smile appeared on Zhang Turn's face, and it seemed that the battle of tomorrow was no longer so terrifying.

"However, the general still needs to listen to Liu's words, if he doesn't allow it, the general still treats Liu Wen as if he didn't say it before, what?" Liu Wen had a rare solemn look on his face and said solemnly.

Since knowing Liu Wen, it was the first time for Zhang Tuo to see Liu Wen with such an expression, and after being stunned, he suddenly guessed that what Liu Wen said was not small, and hurriedly withdrew the smile on his face, turned solemn, and asked: "What Bojian said, as long as it is within the scope of my Zhang Tuo, Zhang Tuo will not allow it!" ”

"Don't talk too much just yet!" Liu Wen smiled slightly and said: "Actually, it's not a difficult thing, just ask the general not to have too deep a relationship with Han Fei, if possible, don't fight to the death!" ”

What does Bojian mean by this? Could it be that ...... "Can't persuade me to surrender?" Zhang turned his face puzzled, looked at Liu Wen and stopped talking.

"In my opinion, the princes of the world, the one with the greatest potential, is Han Fei! As a result of several confrontations with Dong Zhuo, the one who grasps the righteousness is also Han Fei! Although, you and I both know in our hearts that Han Fei may not have the heart to welcome Han. However, there is no handle in the mouth of the world, and no one can bear it! Unless. Han Fei is dead, or he makes a move against the world, otherwise, there is no one in the world who competes with him! If the friendship is too deep, it will ...... sooner or later," Liu Wen said leisurely. As for whether Zhang listens or not, it has nothing to do with him, it's a big deal. He Liu Wen went back to his hometown!

"What Bojian taught me is that Zhang understands!"

"Hey, even if it's to leave one more way for the future!"

……

The Battle of Huguan. Zhang Dan and Pei Xi's allied forces were defeated, and more than 30,000 troops and horses were broken, except for a few generals who escaped, and the rest were either killed or captured. No one was taken off; And Han Feijun. The first battle was a great victory, because the fighters were all elite, and they were also well-arranged, so the casualties were almost negligible, more than 10,000 enemies were annihilated, and nearly 20,000 prisoners were captured. It can be said that he is envious of all the princes!

However, unexpectedly. Guo Jia was frowning at the moment.

"Feng Xiao, what's the matter, you haven't eaten again?"

In the evening, Jia Xi and other scholars and martial artists came to Guo Jia's handsome tent with a smile, and when they saw the wine and food placed in front of Guo Jia that had not even moved, everyone immediately stopped talking and laughing. Jia Xiyi frowned and asked.

It's strange, it is said that he has won a big battle, and he should be happy, why is it that when he comes back, Guo Langzi is depressed and sad?

Guo Jia, who has always been dissolute, has never seen such a demeanor!

"Hehe," Guo Jia smiled bitterly when he saw that it was everyone, and said, "The war is urgent, and Jia really can't eat it." ”

"Military advisor, this is your mistake, the last general is the first time to see it, he won the battle but his face was sad, if this is to let the bunnies in the pot pass know, will he not die of depression? Could it be that you will be happy if you lose the battle? Zhang Jaw half-jokingly, really couldn't think of the reason for Guo Jia's troubles, and asked puzzledly.

The two are close in age, they talk very much on weekdays, they are infected by Guo Jia, and sometimes, they speak with a bit of ridicule, especially in the face of Guo Jia.

"What did General Zhang say," Hearing Zhang's ridiculous words, Huang Xiao couldn't help but laugh, and chuckled: "General Zhang, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other!" This time, although our army won a big victory, it was difficult for Jia to be reluctant to attack! ”

"One or the other? When the military advisor said, did he mean grain and grass? Huang Zhongjiu was in the army, and he was much more sensitive to the affairs of the army than everyone present.

"Exactly!" Guo Jia glanced at Huang Zhong a little unexpectedly, and said: "The old general of Han Sheng is quick-witted, yes, Jia is making trouble for this grain and grass matter. ”

"Where is the quickness of thinking, the old man has just been in the barracks for a little longer." Huang Zhong smiled humbly.

"Please also ask the military advisor to solve our doubts!" Grain and grass? Grain and grass should be very sufficient, how can it be ......" Ren Jun was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked.

"General Ren, when you look at things, you can never just look at the surface, you must also remember!" Guo Jia seems to be teaching, and he seems to be telling, he knows that Han Fei attaches great importance to Ren Jun, so usually, Guo Jia will not be stingy with guidance. He said in a deep voice: "Although, in this battle, our army won a big victory, but Huguan once folded 30,000 military horses, but it made their originally stretched grain and grass suddenly appear full. On the contrary, our army has nearly 20,000 more prisoners, but it is an increase of nearly 20,000 mouths, the burden of grain and grass, compared to the Huguan, but a little urgent, although Jizhou has grain and grass, but after all, it is not owned by the lord, and it can be used limitedly, although the lord comes forward, this is not a problem, but after all, the lord is now in the territory of the state, and the water is far away from quenching his thirst...... Hey, the captives are also people, and Jia doesn't want to abuse them, if the lord is there, he also thinks like Jia, but it's good that the war is short, but this war is long, and this consumption ......"

"This is simple, just a few more battles yesterday, you will definitely be able to eliminate the Huguan defenders and take Guanzhong in one fell swoop, hehe, military advisor, you have also seen that the Huguan defenders are all powerless, so, what else do you have to worry about, come, eat!" While speaking, Huang Xu moved the food to Guo Jia's approach, and said distressedly: "Eat first, don't eat, where do you have the strength to think, fast!" ”

Huang Xu's age is not much younger than Guo Jia, because of Huang Zhong's shirk, he has no military position at the moment, so he is the most open person in the account.

"Hehe, Major General, what you think is too simple!" Guo Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Huguan defenders, if nothing happens, it will be difficult for them to go out of the city to fight again, unless they ......."

"It's not good to think simply, you can eat and drink, the soldiers are coming, what's the big deal!" Huang Xu snorted and said, "By the way, military advisor, what did you just say? ”

"Huangkou child, the military camp is heavy, how can you talk nonsense!" Huang Zhong's eyes widened, and he was a little tired of his son's lawlessness.

What Huang Xu was most afraid of was this old man, when he heard the sound, his neck shrank and he was silent.

"Thinking simple? Soldiers are coming? Hehe, yes, what is this military division afraid of! Guo Jia smiled, grabbed the rice chips, and jokingly said to Huang Xu, who couldn't help but be curious in his eyes: "Unless...... Oh, the heavenly machine must not be revealed! ”

"Strategist, you ......" Huang Xu, who was still a little afraid of Huang Zhong Jiwei, didn't expect to wait for such a sentence, he was suddenly a little crazy, jumped to his feet and said: "Strategist, you also come to play me, you ......"

"Haha......"

There was nothing to say all night, and after breakfast the next day, Guo Jia was about to send his generals out of the camp to call for battle to kill the morale of the Huguan army, but suddenly faintly heard a drum sound from the direction of Huguan Pass.

What's the situation? Could it be ...... Guo Jia was wondering, and saw a scout report: The Huguan defenders began to camp and line up. (To be continued......)
