After Zhang Ye and Chak drove their horses to the Xingcheng River, Zhang Ye turned over and dismounted, without taking off his armor, and directly climbed the highest crooked neck tree on the bank of the river.

He put his hands on the pergola, and looked across the river and around like a falcon with his eyes.

Looking at the empty land opposite, Zhang Ye's face was solemn, his expression was solemn, and he asked coldly Zhou Fei, the scout captain who had just arrived under the tree to report: "Is there any change on the other side of the river?" Gongsun Zhan's army, you have witnessed it all marching westward? Have you checked the dense forests on both sides, and whether there are any enemy ambushes? ”

Zhang Ye always felt strange about Gongsun Zhan's entire army retreating westward without making any arrangements in Xingcheng River.

Gongsun Zhan is in the eyes of the Wuhuan people, or in the eyes of the Han people in Youzhou, they all belong to the kind of generals who are outstanding in marching and fighting, how could he make such a mistake?

Could it really be that the iron cavalry who promoted the general copied the back road of Gongsun Zhan's old goods, so that he had to advance quickly towards Xingcheng?

Zhang Ye asked three questions in a row, these three questions were what Zhang Ye could think of in his heart, and they were the ones he needed to know the most.

Zhou Fei, the scout captain under the tree, knelt on one knee, his head half-raised, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Hui, there is no movement on the other side of the river.

After crossing the river, Gongsun Zhan's army did not stop at all, and the whole army quickly marched westward in a panic, leaving no team behind, which we can guarantee with our lives.

In the woods on both sides, our scouts searched the woods twice and found nothing unusual.

They are on standby at the edge of the woods, and if there is any change in the woods, they will report it to us as soon as possible. ”

Scout Captain Zhou Fei spoke cleanly, answered the three questions raised by Zhang Ye one by one, and also told him about his arrangement.

Zhou Fei led the scouts but kept watching Gongsun Zhan's army leave, and Gongsun Zhan's army could be said to be fleeing quickly in a panic, not to mention leaving ambushes, even the scouts who stayed were pitiful.

Zhang Ye watched carefully again for a while, he felt that what Zhou Fei said was basically the same as what he had observed, and his face gradually relaxed.

Instead of returning in the same way he had climbed the tree, he reached out with both hands and grabbed a huge branch that stretched out diagonally.

With his hands firmly grasped, he swung lightly from the tree, and his body flew diagonally, and he fell heavily to the riverbank, his feet sinking into the ground by two inches.

After Zhang Ye came down from the tree, he first waved his hand and told the scout captain Zhou Fei to continue to investigate the enemy situation in front of him, and if there was any change, he would come back and report immediately.

Seeing Zhou Fei riding quickly, he slowly paced back to the war horse.

He turned over and looked at Chack, who was silent, and said in a deep voice: "Chack, through my observation and the scout's report, it is now generally certain that Gongsun Zhan's old goods are in trouble, and the old goods have to speed up their defense.

In this situation, the safest plan is for us to wait on the riverbank for Gongsun Chan to be promoted to retreat, and retreat to this side, and we will beat Gongsun Chan on the riverbank to beat the water dog.

The second plan is that the two of us lead 800 cavalry to quickly cross the river, go directly to chase and kill Gongsun Zhan, and the infantry is on standby on the bank of the river, and we can attack and retreat and defend.

The third plan is for our whole army to cross the river together to pursue Gongsun Chan and win with the superiority of troops.

It's just that there are pros and cons to all three options, especially the first two options. ”

Seeing Chack's deferential look, Zhang Ye continued to speak: "The biggest drawback of this first plan is that even if Gongsun Zhan's old goods fail, they may not necessarily flee in our direction, if we don't cross the river in advance, it will take a lot of time to catch up with Gongsun Zhan at that time."

It takes a lot of time for so many people to cross the river, and the credit will probably go to the promotion by then

The disadvantages of the second option are not small, we only have 800 cavalry, once Gongsun Chan's old goods are defeated by the promoted adult, then, after Gongsun Chan is defeated and retreats, he will inevitably launch a fierce attack on us.

Without the cover of the infantry army, our 800 cavalry did not have a very high victory rate against the remaining army of Shanggong Sun Zhan.

It is impossible for our 800 men to wait for the infantry under us to cross the river to come to the rescue, even if the battle is won, I am afraid that there will be few of our 800 cavalry left.

The third option is relatively safer than the first two options, our cavalry and infantry cross the river together, we can attack and retreat, and the danger will be minimized. ”

Zhang Ye is Zhang Chun's own family, and he is also a scholar of Yuyang County, and Zhang Ye can also be regarded as an expert in marching and fighting.

But what! This kind of expert is an expert who belongs to Zhao Kuo and others, because Zhang Ye has not participated in several wars, and can only talk on paper.

Although Chuck is Qiu Liju's nephew, he does not have Qiu Liju's calculating bloodline, and the stupid and coarse character of the Wuhuan people occupies most of them.

When he saw Zhang Ye talking crackling for most of the day, he was already a little impatient in his heart.

Before, this Zhang Yeji talked to him about the plan, what Gongsun Zhan would definitely arrange heavy troops or ambush soldiers on this side of the Xingcheng River, but now it seems that this Zhang Ye's calculation is not accurate.

Zhang Ye can be said to have calculated everything when he attacked Gongsun Zhan's camp, and at that time, Chack thought that Zhang Ye could be regarded as a guiding light, but after several miscalculations by Zhang Ye, Chack no longer believed Zhang Ye's explanation on paper.

At this time, come up with three options.

You say the three options, and then you say that the three plans are not perfect, they are not appropriate, what is the difference between this and nonsense.

What are we doing here? That's to hunt down Gongsun Zhan.

Now that you don't cross the river to pursue on the side of the Xingcheng River, can you still wait for the team that promoted the adults to kill Gongsun Chan before crossing the river? Isn't this simply taking off your pants and farting......

Chack rolled his eyes, and after throwing a hygienic eye to Zhang Ye, he said categorically: "The whole army crosses the river to hunt down Gongsun Zhan, we must find and kill him before the promotion of the Lord is not killed, only in this way can we reflect our strength." ”

Zhang Ye and Chak are both young people, and they don't have much awe for Qiu Liju and Zhang Chungong and Sun Zan in their hearts.

In their eyes, the strength of their new generation is the strongest, Qiu Liju Gongsun Zan and their generation are already old and outdated, as long as they want to, they can definitely defeat them easily.

If it weren't for this, how could Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun be chased by the soldiers under Gongsun Zhan like lost dogs.

And the soldiers who defeated Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun quickly collapsed after encountering them, and there was no decent resistance at all.

As soon as the two were compared, they immediately thought that their strength was strong, and the people under Gongsun Chan were vulnerable.

It's just that what they didn't take into account was that a considerable part of Gongsun Zhan's camp was newly surrendered soldiers, and Gongsun Chan kept strict care of these soldiers and didn't give them enough food.

These people were originally surrendered to the army, and they had a trace of loyalty to Gongsun Zhan, but Gongsun Zhan didn't treat them as human beings, which made them unacceptable.

After Zhang Ye and Chak's surprise attack caused confusion in Gongsun Zhan's camp, they would still consider allegiance to Gongsun Zhan, even if the infantry soldiers of the Han army organized a formation, they were forcibly dispersed by their surrendered troops.

The two hit it off and decided to cross the river with the whole army to pursue Gongsun Zhan......
