"What's going on?" Seeing the Jizhou army besieging the city retreating like a tide, Zhang Fei shook the snake spear and was a little puzzled.

You Heng raised his hand and pointed to the south, stroked his palm and smiled: "Look at the way the rangers on the south bank are fleeing in a hurry, I know that it must be the lord." ”

"This is coming back?" Zhang Fei was very unhappy, and muttered and complained: "Didn't you say that you would stay for half a month?" It's only been a few days, huh? It's a shame that he said so solemnly when he left, I really thought I was going to keep it until when. ”

"Well, eighty percent, I'm afraid that General Zhang won't have any alcohol to drink, so I'll go ahead of schedule." You Heng joked with a smile.

These two people are not very good-tempered, they were originally needle-to-wheat, and the relationship is very poor. But later, in the process of scolding Yuan Shao, the two sang and harmonized, but they had a very tacit understanding, just like talking about the praise and teasing of cross talk. As a result, the intimate scolding friendship relationship was concluded, and the friendship between the two suddenly warmed up to the level of intimacy.

Zhang Fei untied the wine gourd from his waist, raised his neck and poured it violently, and said with a sigh: "Don't say it, this wine is really not enough to drink." ”

Drinking alcohol in battle is a taboo in the army, but Zhang Fei can only be regarded as a guest general, and in the battle to defend the city, he only exerts his bravery, and is not responsible for command. His bravery, even Yuan Jun was shocked, what is there to be picky about his own people?

The one who is really responsible for command and dispatch in the city is one of Wang Yu's brothers, named Wang Mo, whose name is Mojie.

As a number of local heroes, the family business of the Taishan Wang family is not small, although Wang Yu does not mean nepotism, but tries to avoid the occurrence of nepotism. However, there are always a few outstanding in the huge family, and Wang Yu cannot refuse to appoint them because he is related.

This Wang Mo. is one of the talents of the Wang family, because it is a side branch, this person is also from a poor family, and his strength is not in martial arts, but in military strategy.

The task of guarding Gaotang, according to the original plan, was to defend it for more than half a month under the onslaught of the Jizhou army, which was quite dangerous. There is no general in the city who is good at command and dispatch.

Of course, the best candidate is Yu Ban, but the big war is coming, and Wang Yu is also inseparable from this low-key general. After a selection in the army, Wang Yu finally chose his own brother.

Wang Mo's command level is certainly good. But the more important reason is that Wang Yu wants to use this to show the Youzhou allies that he will not abandon the other party and give them confidence. Although kinship can cause many drawbacks, at the same time, it also has many special effects.

"The third brother doesn't need to worry, my lord is here. There is always no shortage of wine. Wang Mo also came over and said with a smile.

When guarding the city, he kept running up and down the city, busy with command and dispatch; Zhang Fei ran back and forth at the head of the city with a snake spear. put out fires everywhere; You Heng is the easiest and the most dangerous, as long as he sits on the tower and shows his nasty face. Then put on a sneering expression, Yuan Shao would be furious. Like a bull in heat, he drove all the armies to the city.

If You Heng and Zhang Fei are talking about the friendship that comes out of cross talk, then Wang Mo and Zhang Fei are really fighting side by side. Therefore, his attitude is also very familiar.

"By the way, a while ago, there was a letter from the family, saying that the Mi family's winery has produced new wine, and when the battle is over, why don't the third brother go back to Qingzhou with the younger brother and have a good drink?" He said seemingly casually.

"Good wine? What's a good way? Zhang Fei's eyes lit up.

"The younger brother doesn't know much about wine, but the younger brother heard that the new wine, everyone who has drunk it said that it is good." This is another task left by Wang Mo, to envelop Zhang Fei.

In fact, Wang Yu also knows that it is difficult to succeed in this matter, but since it is in this era, it is a pleasure to communicate with the famous generals who admired in the previous life in various ways. Shenggu is happy to be defeated, this is his mentality when he recruited Zhang Fei and Zhang Jaw.

But then again, his identity is there, if he is rejected again and again, even if he doesn't care about it, his subordinates will have all kinds of dissatisfaction.

These grievances may not be directed at Wang Yu, but they will undoubtedly affect the relationship between the generals and Zhang Fei, so Wang Yu simply entrusted the task to his brother.

As Wang Mo, he did not insult anyone, and when he was rejected, he also did not lose face and dignity.

"That's right." Zhang Fei smashed his mouth, looking salivating, obviously a little tempted, but in the end, he still shook his head, and said a little lonely: "After the battle, the revenge has been avenged, I am going to find the eldest brother, this matter can not be delayed, if you want to drink, you can only talk about it later." ”

Such a look appeared on him, a fierce general who was invincible on the battlefield, somewhat disobedient. But Wang Mo only sighed in his heart, what the lord said was really right, this task is more difficult than defending the city.

Although the battle to defend the city is hard, if you work hard to support it, it may not be impossible to defend it even for a month, but it is difficult to convince Zhang Fei. Every time I chat, as soon as the conversation began, the other party mentioned the eldest brother, how can I continue later? Sowing discord?

"The lord came back early, could it be that something happened?" You Heng saw Wang Mo's embarrassment and casually pulled the topic away.

"What could happen?" Zhang Fei shook the wine gourd with one hand, and said with a smile: "Pengju's head, I don't know how it was born, as if he opened a few more tricks, playing with his heart, one top ten." Don't worry, just wait for the fight to start outside, and as soon as the signal is given, let's kill it. ”

Wang Mo raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but his heart was not so relaxed. In the original plan, the reason why there was a half-month period was to guard against Zang Ba on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was to leave time for a roundabout.

That is, first make a feint in Licheng, wait for the enemy to be paralyzed, quickly go north, reach the Shang River through the county, cross the river from there, and then go upstream, directly attacking the tired enemy under the city of the plain.

From a certain point of view, the original plan of this battle was the same as the battle of Yu Ban and Huang Zhong's surprise attack on Liu Dai that day, which was to try to exhaust the enemy, and then make a surprise long-distance attack, and finally lay the victory.

Now the situation is a bit unclear.

In the three-day siege battle, Yuan Shao's losses were indeed not small, but they were far from the point of breaking his muscles and bones. And since the Qingzhou Army has appeared on the south bank, it is impossible to engage in a long-distance attack, so it can only fight a face-to-face battle.

Isn't this what the lord has been trying to avoid? He was worried, far less optimistic than his two comrades.

……

Whether it's war or politics. It's all full of uncertainty, and the head-on stick always comes when you're most proud.

This is the advice given to him by his father, who had been in the sea for a long time, and once worshiped Sikong, and was a great minister.

Today, he has a deeper understanding of this sentence.

Although this feeling is not the first time, Zhongping was in Luoyang in the sixth year, in the first year of Chuping in Sujujube, and after the start of the Hebei War. He has slipped from the top many times and tasted the ups and downs.

But now, looking at the billowing smoke and dust rising into the sky on the south bank of the river, the accumulated corpses and bones under Gaotang City, and the defeated remnants of the defeated soldiers who had just retreated. His face was still hot, as if he had just been slapped in the face.

Hit the trick!

Hit the most superficial provocation!

Qilin'er, a young man who was a Lang official and famous all over the world, was instructed by a young man from a strong background to be a scoundrel from a poor family, and he was so easily played!

His gaze contracted, contracted. Condensed like a needle!

His face twitched, twitched, hideous as blood!

Frustrated and frightened, for fear that Yuan Shao would go crazy again. Ordered the army to cross the river for a decisive battle. Attacking the city in anger, but losing troops and losing morale, if you rush to cross the river. That's the way to die.

Wang Yu couldn't let go of this half-crossing opportunity.

I looked left and right, and found that no one dared to look up directly. Frustrated, he could only stand up and cautiously reminded: "Lord, our army is now exhausted, and there are big rivers to obstruct it, so it is really not appropriate to start a war again......"

"Are you going to let Lone, just look at the thief like this, show off his might?" The slightest cold, colder than the cold wind in the middle of winter, spit out from between Yuan Shao's teeth,

"No matter what Wang Yu's plans were before, but since the two armies have faced each other, it is impossible for anyone to leave the battlefield. Lord, at this moment, it is time to calm down, look for the enemy's weaknesses, and at the same time, make up for your own flaws. ”

The Qingzhou army took the initiative to kill, and in Yuan Shao's opinion, it was a slap in the face, but in terms of the art of war, it was not wise.

With the obstruction of the river, the Qingzhou army could not enter the combat state at the first time, and the previous strategy of exhausting the enemy was greatly reduced. At the same time, after entering a state of engagement, it is impossible for the Qingzhou Army to leave as soon as it is said. The Qingzhou Army was not a pure cavalry unit, and its mobility did not have much advantage, and when it was close to the enemy, it turned around and left, undoubtedly inviting the enemy to pursue it.

Dahe undoubtedly became the winner or loser of this battle. Whichever side crosses the river to attack, the other side has a geographical advantage. The longer the confrontation lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be to the divided Qingyou Alliance.

When he didn't face You Heng directly, Yuan Shao was still able to keep his senses, calm down and think about it, and the statement of frustration is also very reasonable. However, a doubt quickly arose in his heart: "Since there are all kinds of disadvantages, why did the king thief rush back to the army?" ”

"Maybe ......" This doubt, I also have it, but Wang Yu appeared too suddenly, and Yuan Shao was affected by his anger, so he couldn't think about it too much, so he could only find the most likely reason for the time being: "Wang Yu is worried about the battle situation, so he ......"

"Interpretation?" Yuan Shao's expression moved, "Are you talking about the detachment that connected the mob and harassed the local division?" ”

"Exactly." After thinking about it, he felt that this was the only reason that would make Wang Yu suddenly change his mind. The Qingzhou military generals who led the troops probably did not follow Wang Yu's instructions, and a general came to disrupt Wang Yu's deployment.

If that cavalry only bluffs and harasses the rear road, it can also contain Zhang Yang, and it is more conducive to protracted combat. Now, this strange army was tripped by the people, and it was impossible to advance and retreat freely, but it became a flaw in the Qingzhou army.

"I see, I see." Yuan Shao was overjoyed and laughed wildly: "There are many mountains and tigers, but this time the thief has to suffer by himself." He's here to contain Lone? But I don't know that the general who killed him alone doesn't need to do it himself, hahahaha! ”

In the past few days, this is the first time that Yuan Shao has shown a smiling face, and when the staff members saw this, they were willing to lag behind, and they rushed up, surrounded Yuan Shao and began to have fun and pursue, but squeezed aside the frustration that wanted to talk and stopped.

Originally, he wanted to remind Yuan Shao that this was just one of the possibilities, don't be too happy, but after seeing this posture, where is there room for his own interference?

That's it, at this time, you can only do your best and obey the fate of God. He shook his head, gave up his advice, asked for a general's order, and went to arrange his own defense.
