Chapter 083: Drinking the Yellow River (3)

Zhang Han waited in Yuanmen for a long time, and the soldiers who went to Tongyu finally came back, and the soldiers waved their hands to the soldiers guarding the door on both sides, smiled and made a gesture of invitation and said: "General Zhang, our general invites you in!" ”

Zhang Han was overjoyed when he heard this, thanked him, handed over the reins of the war horse to the soldiers guarding the door, and the barracks forbade the galloping of horses This is the military law of the Han army, and the Cao army still nominally belongs to the Han army.

Under the guidance of Cao Jun's soldiers, he went straight to Cao Zhen's big tent. At this time, Cao Zhen was reading in the tent, and the soldiers lifted the curtain and entered the tent, kneeling on the ground and reporting: "General, General Zhang is here and is waiting outside the tent!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhen nodded, and said, "Let him come in!" ”

When the soldier heard this, he got up and went out of the tent, brought Zhang Han in, and then left the big tent, and at this time only Cao Zhen and Zhang Han were left in the big tent.

Zhang Han saw that Cao Zhen was still in the mood to read leisurely at this time, and he was suddenly angry, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to suppress his anger, bow down to the ground, and said in a rough voice: "Former army vanguard officer, partial general Zhang Han greets the general!" ”

Cao Zhen got up with a smile, walked down, helped Zhang Han up, and asked with a smile: "The general came to the camp in a hurry to ask for a meeting, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Zhang Han was helped by Cao Zhen, got up, and when he saw Cao Zhen asking, he replied: "Zhang Han has something unclear, so I came to ask the general for advice!" ”

In addition to the commander's position facing the door, there are also two rows of couches and tables on the left and right sides of the military tent, which are prepared for the generals when the army is deliberating. Cao Zhen heard that Zhang Han's tone was not good, and after sitting down on a couch on the left side with a smile, he pointed to the couch next to him and said to Zhang Han with a smile: "What is the problem, sit down and say!" ”

When Zhang Han heard this, he was not polite, strode to Cao Zhen's side, bent down and sat down, turned to Cao Zhen and said: "General, the sentry horse has reported that the Shu army has arrived on the south bank of the Great River, and it is close by. ”

When Cao Zhen heard this, he laughed and said: "General Zhang doesn't know, a certain has just received a report from the inner line of the Shu army, and Zhuge Zhan's troops will search for ships on the south bank of the big river to cross the river to the north!" I ordered the whole army to slow down the journey, just to give the Shu army enough time to collect ships, I will attack it halfway, so that I will win a complete victory! ”

After listening to Cao Zhen's words, Zhang Han opened his eyes, was speechless for a long time in surprise, and stammered for a while: "It turns out that ...... Checkmate...... What do you think? ”

Cao Zhen saw Zhang Han dumbfounded, and thought complacently that Zhang Han was impressed by his wise decision, and was proud, but he didn't want to, Zhang Han patted his head violently, and said in distress: "General Cao, you are so confused!" ”

When Cao Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, stood up, glared angrily, pointed at Zhang Han and reprimanded: "You are presumptuous! ”

Zhang Han is also a violent temper, when Cao Xiu was under the account, he often had disputes with Cao Xiu about how to fight, Cao Xiu cherished his talent and bravery, and was very tolerant of him, which invisibly contributed to Zhang Han's resistance, Zhang Han saw Cao Zhen stand up, and then he also stood up, and said: "Isn't it?" ”

Cao Zhen saw that this guy was a little confused, sneered, and said, "Then you tell me where I am confused?" ”

When Zhang Han heard this, he walked to the map in the military tent in three steps and two steps, pointed to the location of Mount Tai on the map and said: "General, the Shu army is only among the five thousand, the lone army is deep, far from the rear, and is compressed by our army in the narrow sandwich between Mount Tai and the big river. ”

"A woman's opinion!" Cao Zhen was disdainful of Zhang Han's analysis, and also walked to the map, pointing to the location of Jingzhou and drawing an arc to the north, which happened to be the route of the Shu army, and said loudly: "I have been dealing with Zhuge boy for ten years, Zhuge Zhan has never followed the right path with his soldiers, he loves the sword to go sideways, Xiangfan battle, as the chief general of Jingzhou, the safe way is naturally to stick to Xiangfan, relying on Xiangfan's dangerous city defense to consume our army, but what about him?" However, he handed over the city defense to others, and he joined Zhao Yun, Fu Shiren and other cavalry, avoided the Xiangfan battle line where we had heavy troops, and went north alone, interspersed in the hinterland of our Central Plains, fought Wancheng, attacked Xudu, fought in Runan, trapped Shouchun, broke Xuzhou, and went all the way north. If you really want to say that his goal is to go south, he could go south in Shouchun, when he was only a hundred miles away from the river, he didn't go south at that time, and now he drinks the Yellow River, thousands of miles away from the river, but wants to go south, do you think this makes sense? ”

Zhang Han was already enthusiastic at this time, where could he still listen to Cao Zhen's words, without waiting for Cao Zhen to finish speaking, he waved his big hand and sneered: "Didn't the general say that Zhuge Zhan didn't play cards according to common sense when he used his soldiers, and he loved swords and went sideways?" The general is now so enslaved that Zhuge Zhan will not go south, is it impossible for him to come to another sword and go sideways? ”

"You're messing around!" Cao Zhen was very dissatisfied with Zhang Han's questioning of his decision-making, and Cao Zhen didn't want to do these senseless quarrels with this product anymore!

"Am I messing around? Hmph, the general is talking about what route he will take with your understanding of Zhuge Zhan? Zhang Leng laughed and asked Cao Zhen.

Of course, Cao Zhen has his own ideas, in fact, he has been thinking about this problem for several days, he thinks that if Young Master Zhuge really crosses the big river in the north, then he is very likely to take himself around Hebei in a circle, cross the Yellow River west, and go south from Guanzhong, after all, the Western Regions and Guanzhong generation are not very stable, although Cao Cao's westward expedition basically eliminated Ma Chao's forces, but this is far from the core of Cao Cao's rule, the control is much weaker, and there are many large and small warlords, relying on the danger of the distant mountains, stubbornly resisting, In recent years, although Cao Jun has carried out disdain encirclement and suppression of these diehards, it has still not been completely eradicated, placed in the Western Regions, and now it is completely outside the power of the imperial court, and it is beyond the reach of the whip, saying that Young Master Zhuge wants to cross the Yellow River west and enter Sichuan from the Western Regions or Guanzhong, Cao Zhen is not surprised at all. But Cao Zhen didn't want to explain to Zhang Han now, because the attitude of this thing was unbearable, Cao Zhen sneered and said: "I am the main general, you are the vanguard officer, just obey orders, so much nonsense!" ”

When Zhang Han heard this, he laughed and said: "As a general in the army, of course I must resist the general's confused orders, otherwise I am afraid that one general will be incompetent and exhaust the three armies." ”

"You...... Licentious! "Zhang Han's words are indeed too much, Cao Zhen's recuperation is already good.

Zhang Han glanced at Cao Zhen, sneered, and walked away, completely ignoring Cao Zhen's eyes that were about to burst into flames.

Zhang Han walked out of the gate, got on his horse and whipped away.

Inside the tent, Li Wei, the leader of the Falcon Guard, turned out from behind the screen, glanced at the direction in which Zhang Han left, came to Cao Zhen, and asked, "Chief, this guy is too presumptuous, let me get rid of him!" ”

"Presumptuous!" When Cao Zhen heard that Li Wei was going to get rid of Zhang Han, he was furious and reprimanded. When Li Wei heard this, he knelt on the ground with a thud, bowing his head and not daring to speak.

"Who gave you the audacity to execute a lieutenant general in private?" Li Wei's idea has touched the bottom line of the spy profession, which is very taboo, and Cao Zhen has to say something.

"Yes, yes, it's a mistake to be humble! Please punish the chief! Li Wei didn't have Zhang Han's courage and temper, so he hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Cao Zhen turned around and walked up to the main general's seat, sat down, and said coldly: "Li Wei, I hope you remember that espionage is always espionage, don't stretch out your hand too long, otherwise you will definitely die a miserable death!" ”

Cao Zhen's words were very heavy, and Li Wei was already in cold sweat wipes at this time, and his head was buttoned again and again.

Cao Zhen didn't want to deal with him, and it wasn't worth it, seeing that Li Wei had already admitted his mistake, he waved his hand and said, "Get up!" You crossed the river overnight and went to report to Wen Lie, saying that the Shu army was very likely to cross the river in the next few days, so you should be careful! ”

"No!" Li Wei got up and took the order.
