Chapter 64, Zhang Liao attacked

At this moment, outside the city of Mayi, among the more than 20,000 people on display, the neatly arranged army of Lu Bu with a solemn appearance, in addition to the main flag of the word "Lu", there is also a military flag engraved with a big "Zhang" character, showing the identity of the leader of this army, which is Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan, the first person under Lu Bu in the current Lu Bu army.

Zhang Liao himself is a native of Mayi County, and is a descendant of Nie Yi, a wealthy businessman who launched the "Mayi Conspiracy" in the first year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty.

This experience is quite similar to Na Liangle, and since he has always used this name, it is too troublesome to change his name, and he has been used to this name for more than 20 years, and he has not thought of changing it.

But Lu Bu has known him for not a day or two, and he knows some things about Zhang Liao's mind.

Thinking that the Dong Alliance was raising troops to attack Dong Zhuo and Chen Bing outside the Tiger Pass, in order to temporarily avoid its edge, Li Ru chose to temporarily withdraw from the Tiger Pass, and at the same time began to arrange a strategy for the internal division of the Alliance Army, first calculated Yuan Shao, and ordered his subordinates to attack everywhere to expand their territory, and Yanmen County is one of them, Li Ru's side is the main messenger after all, and he got the news earlier than the Alliance Army's side, and Zhang Liao also knew, at that time, Lu Bu could feel his strong desire to keep Yanmen County, especially Mayi, But in the end, it stopped by itself.

Zhang Liao is a native of Mayi and Yanmen, who went out from here, and naturally has a special feeling for his hometown, how can he allow his hometown to be trampled by others' iron hooves?

Zhang Liao doesn't say it a lot of the time. He will not express his feelings, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have feelings and no ideas, it's just that he hides it more often than not, and at that time, in order to deal with the overall situation of Dong Dajun, Zhang Liao hid this idea very deeply.

Later, when Lu Bu led his division to leave Luoyang and enter the north of Bingzhou, and just entered Xihe County, Lu Bu had already seen that Zhang Liao was worried at that time, and he often looked north and the direction was the northeast, so he naturally immediately thought of Zhang Liao's idea that he had endured for a long time.

It's just that in the end, it was for the sake of Lu Bu's overall plan to lay out and merge the state, and Zhang Liao did not think about his own selfishness. And asked Lu Bu to attack the three counties of Yanmen as soon as possible. In order to regain his hometown, even if he knew that if he made such a request, Lu Bu would probably not refuse.

is the so-called reciprocating peach, Zhang Liao can be said to be very righteous towards himself, although Lu Bu did not say it explicitly. But every bit of it is in my heart. This time, Zhang Liao was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the attack on Yanmen. It is not that he does not have the intention of fulfilling his wish, otherwise there are less than 20,000 people stationed in Yanmen County, except for Yan Liang, who is a little troublesome. You may need to go out in person to solve it, and how can you use Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao naturally knew very well in his heart that while feeling nostalgic, he was also bound to win Yanmen County.

It's just that as I just said, Zhang Liao himself is from here, and there have not been many changes here over the years, so no one knows this place better than him, understands the difficulty of this place, from the perspective of terrain and city construction, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially Mayi City is a famous fortified city in the north of the country, in addition to its high and thick city walls will not be inferior to some of the big cities in the Central Plains, its city defense construction is also very complete, I believe that as long as it is not an idiot to a certain level of the main general, no one will stick to such a favorable advantage, and will also be defeated by light yì.

The main reason is that Lu Bu is in a hurry, which requires him to do his best to capture Mayi and then capture Yanmen County, so as to pave the way for Lu Bu's next plan, otherwise if the time drags on for a long time, Yuan Shao's side will definitely send troops to help, which will not only increase the difficulty of attacking the city, but even Lu Bu's plan to fish in the troubled waters of Hebei will also be affected.

Originally, Zhang Liao was still very distressed, he thought about sneaking up on the night, and also thought about sending a group of men and horses into the city to create chaos and then open the city gate to join the outside, but after the analysis of Jia Xu and others, combined with the reality of Mayi City, he chose another idea, that is, to deal with Yan Liang, the chief general of the defenders of Yanmen County, who is also the commander of Mayi City.

If you want to deal with Yan Liang, then you have to understand this person's temperament first, so as to "prescribe the right medicine", and Zhang Liao's plan is to start with Yan Liang in the way of psychological warfare, and stimulate Yan Liang to make mistakes in judgment and make wrong decisions that meet Lu Bu's needs in order to achieve the goal of seizing Mayi, and after killing Yan Liang and seizing Mayi, there is actually not much resistance in the entire Yanmen County, which is also determined by the distribution of the Yanmen garrison, most of which are in or near Mayi, There were only a very small number of garrisons in other counties, and they were completely unable to stop the pace of Lu Bu's army.

Psychological warfare is a tactic that is often used in warfare, in fact, many people may not know the term psychological warfare, but they know how to use it, and the same is true for Zhang Liao.

He learned about Yan Liang's temperament, as well as Yan Liang's circumstances and situation during this time, from the information he obtained from Jia Xu, and found a place where he could use it, so he naturally knew what to do.

But sometimes people just can't pass their own psychological level, Zhang Liao knows that if he wants to stimulate Yan Liang, he should do a scene in front of him, but as for what Cheng dù wants to play, he has no bottom in his heart, or Lu Bu told him, "The more there is no bottom line, the better."

Zhang Liao doesn't know what is his bottom line, but he knows that he is not a person who is too open-minded, especially in public, Lu Bu often says that he is thin-skinned, but he is not wrong.

It's just that this is a necessary sacrifice, and after being persuaded by Lu Bu, Zhang Liao himself also convinced himself in his heart, and finally decided to "have no bottom line".

When Yan Liang saw Zhang Liao, one of the two was on the city tower, and the other was outside the city, before the more than 20,000 Lu Bu troops lined up, a tall horse.

Yan Liang's gaze was instantly attracted by Zhang Liao, it was really Zhang Liao who stood out among the soldiers of Lu Bujun, too conspicuous, even if he wanted to disguise himself now, but the aura on his body naturally emanated, and Yan Liang seemed to be able to faintly feel it at such a distance as a stone's throw in the middle.

This is the induction between the strong and the strong, which is difficult to explain but does exist.

"Who's coming?" Yan Liang's question seemed to be nonsense, but Zhang Liao didn't mind at all, and also responded loudly: "Zhang Wenyuan, under the command of Marquis Wen of the Great Han Dynasty, ...... Zhou Mu and the Great Han Wenhou."

It seems that the conversation between the two is not like two opposing sides, but more like neighbors who get up in the morning to say hello.

It's just that Yan Liang's expression was very solemn, and his tone was also cold: "This is the place where Yuan Benchu, the general of the Great Han Guard, Lu Bu entered without permission, but I don't know what his intentions are?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was menacing and there were a lot of people, with Yan Liang's personality, where would he still stand here and talk to them, and this was also because the deputy general next to him had been persuading him, and he was stronger than people, and Rao is Yan Liang had to temporarily suppress his temper.
