Zhang Lu's gaze swept over Zhang Song's face, and there was a boredom in his heart, and even he didn't notice it, this boredom had already appeared on his face.

Although it was only a flash, Zhang Song happened to capture the change at this moment, and his eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly.

Although Zhang Lu and Zhang Song are both surnamed Zhang, one is from Peiguo and the other is from Chengdu, and they are not related to each other, Zhang Lu's dislike of Zhang Song is purely based on his psychology of being beautiful and disgusted with ugliness.

Zhang Song's appearance is indeed too peculiar, not to mention his short stature, hanging eyes, collapsed nose bridge, thin and long lips, high and convex cheekbones, how uncomfortable to look at.

However, compared with his short and unattractive appearance, Zhang Song can be described as talented, otherwise, he would not be surrounded by Liu Zhang, and he will be reused.

Zhang Song suppressed the unhappiness towards Zhang Lu in his heart, and replied to Liu Zhang: "Young master, Song thinks that the army will wait here, and it will only cost money, food, and morale, and it will be of no benefit. ”

"Brother Ziqiao's words are wrong!"

Yan Pu replied loudly before Zhang Lu, who had a red face and a thick neck, but unfortunately no matter how he straightened his back and tried to be right, there was still a trace of charm in his words.

Zhang Song turned to Yan Pu and asked, "Oh, I would like to hear about it." ”

Yan Pu didn't care about everyone's eyes, and replied: "Lu Buquan is in Guanzhong, and he will have Longwang Shu, and the young master thinks that he will resist Lu Buyi alone at that time, or will he help Huangfu Song to resist Lu Buyi now?" Second, the army has arrived, the grain and grass are ready, and if they return rashly in vain, the morale must not be done, which is not conducive to the great cause of the lord; Third, although Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are prosperous, Huangfu Song is not bad, with Chang'an Jiancheng, it can be defended, and the siege time is long. The morale of the army will be low and it will be slackened, and at that time, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for our army to attack? Such an opportunity is not waiting, it is like a violent thing, and it is really impossible to do it. ”

Although everyone did not nod in agreement, but in their hearts, they were all nodding secretly, and Dudu Zhang Song smiled slightly, and replied indifferently: "Bashui fights." Huangfu Song's 20,000 army also wanted to avoid Lu Bu's soldiers, showing that with his ability, he also felt that he was not defeated by the fine cavalry of Bingzhou. There are 10,000 people in our military region, and one out of the Nanshan Valley. It is placed in the Qinchuan River for 800 miles. Can you stop the gallop of the state's fine riders? Second, Huangfu Song retreated preparedly, sticking to the fortified city of Chang'an, the battle of Guanzhong was difficult to resolve in the short term, and our army was hidden in the Nanshan Valley. If you can't win, what's the benefit of waiting? ”

After speaking, Zhang Song turned to Liu Zhang, bowed down and said, "Young master." If you prevent Lu Bu from entering the main pass, it is far from enough to rely on only 10,000 people, it is better to return to the army first, and suggest that the king unite with Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui to raise a large army and relieve the siege of Chang'an, so that Lu Bu can not capture Chang'an, Guanzhong is bound to erode, this is the best ending, otherwise, it is better to strengthen the armament, rest the plank road is dangerous, and defend itself is enough. ”

Liu Zhang frowned imperceptibly, the two roads that Zhang Song said, if they are wars, they should be a big war, exhaust the armies of Xishu and Hanzhong, contact Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui, attack Lu Bu together, relieve the siege of Chang'an, and let Guanzhong fall into strife; If you don't fight, then it's better to defend yourself according to the danger.

Like now, it makes no sense to use tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight against Lu Bu's Bingzhou elite cavalry.

Liu Zhang recognized this truth from the bottom of his heart, but he frowned because Zhang Song's words were too straightforward, and once he returned to Chengdu, it would definitely cause his father's displeasure.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Zhang rushed ahead of Zhang Lu and asked, "What does Mr. mean that if you want to relieve the siege of Chang'an, you have to send an additional army, and you have to unite with Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui?" ”

Zhang Song was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, got up and replied, "Yes!" ”

Liu Zhang nodded and said: "Well, this is also true, wait for me to repair a book, and report the military situation in Guanzhong to my father and the king." ”

In a word, Liu Zhang put aside the two opinions of Zhang Song and Yan Pu, and handed over the decision of war or retreat to his father Liu Yan, who was far away in Chengdu, to decide, in his opinion, this is the most Haode method now, but he didn't expect that this made Zhang Lu and Zhang Song both muttered in their hearts.

Zhang Song is Liu Zhang's staff, and he also attaches great importance to him, and the feeling in his heart at this time is that this young master has no opinion and a weak temperament, if he is a peace officer in the peaceful days of the world, it is very suitable, but in such a troubled world, everyone is disputed, it is not very suitable.

Zhang Lu is different, and the ambition in his heart has inexorably swelled a lot.

The battle of Guanzhong, the world has attracted attention, after a short battle, into the dull Chang'an Jiancheng offensive and defensive battle, the situation suddenly stopped, on the contrary, the situation in the Kanto region, but after continuing to heat up, as if suddenly bursting.

Taishan Taishou should lead the army into Xuzhou Langxie, at the beginning, the two armies can still pull a tug-of-war, to carry out the offensive and defense, to Yuzhou Yuan Shu sent two ways of the news of the army, the cavalry captain Sun Jian led the army into Guangling County, the general Zhang Xun led the army to attack Xiapi, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian completely panicked, the morale of the soldiers under the account was greatly affected, so that Ying Shao seized the opportunity, won consecutive battles, and the army pointed directly at Langxie County to govern Kaiyang.

The situation was urgent, and in addition to constantly sending envoys to Qingzhou Mu Kongrong for help, Tao Qian also continued to dispatch troops and concentrate troops to try to keep the two counties of Langxi and Donghai.

On the one hand, Kong Rong gathered troops and sent the general Tai Shici to lead the army from the Beihai Sea to the south to aid Lang Evil Tao Qian, and on the other hand, he constantly sent envoys to urge Liu Bei, the Taishou of the Plains, to send troops to attack Taishan County from Jibei, and copy Ying Shao's nest and back road.

Needless to say, how much pressure Liu Bei was under from the Plains Taishou, but the analysis of the staff member Xi Zhicai made him understand that as soon as he sent out the army, he was afraid that he would step into the trap set by others.

In late autumn, the plain has been cold, especially in the morning and evening, in the afternoon, it is the most pleasant time of the day, the sun is warm, the sky occasionally floats a cloud, lazy, everything, people want to recline in the yard, between half dreaming and half waking up, enjoying a little warmth before the cold winter.

Liu Bei doesn't have this blessing now, the second brother Guan Yu sent an army to garrison Gaotang on the south bank of the Great River, and he wanted to work with the third brother Zhang Fei to personally train the newly formed recruits, hoping that they would come in handy one day sooner.

On the colonel's field, it was very lively, and the soldiers were practicing in the field after advancing and retreating, and from time to time some soldiers did not know whether to advance or retreat because they were not familiar with the drums and flags, causing a burst of confusion in the small group where they were located.

Liu Bei stood on the high platform specially set up on the edge of the university field, where you can see the entire school field at a glance, and the entire drill has many flaws, but Liu Bei nodded secretly in his heart.

"Stop!"

The third brother Zhang Fei's loud voice roared, Liu Bei was shocked and frowned slightly, turned his head to look over, and felt that the third brother Zhang Fei was in the school field, so he looked like a general, and usually he looked like he didn't know what to do.

"Bastard, there are still people who are not familiar with the drum flag, rehearse again, someone makes a mistake again, and they don't have to eat dinner, get a whip!"

Liu Bei frowned again, obviously not very approving of Zhang Fei's method of punishment, but at this moment, Zhang Fei was in charge of the colonel, so it was not easy for him to interfere.

Just as Zhang Fei roared in his loud voice, all the soldiers began to practice again, and Liu Bei caught a glimpse of a horse rushing at a high speed, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

When he heard that it was Xi Zhicai who sent someone to invite him, saying that there was an urgent military situation, Liu Bei was even more shocked, and he didn't even have time to tell Zhang Fei, so he hurriedly followed the person who came, ran all the way, and returned to the mansion.

Waiting in the government office, only the military advisor Xi Zhi was alone, with a serious demeanor, Shi Tao and Cui Jun were busy with government affairs and had no time to stay in the government office.

"Lord, the second general sent someone to report urgently, Liu Dai personally led a large army, from Jibei Lu County to attack the plain, has been sent to ......"

"Huh? Liu Dai finally couldn't help it? ”

Liu Bei's eyes widened, and he screamed in surprise, interrupting Xi Zhicai's words.

"yes!" Xi Zhicai replied, "Cao Cao of Dongjun has also sent an army to the east, and the soldiers are directed at Gao Tang. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei was not as surprised as Fang Cai, but seemed very calm, from the time he was in charge of the plain, he was responsible for guarding the west gate of the plain for Qingzhou Mu Kongrong, and he had long expected that Liu Dai would put Cao Cao in Dongjun, which was bound to have a plan.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Bei nodded and said, "In this way, Liu Dai is already a little impatient. ”

"Hmm!" Xi Zhicai replied, "The two armies march together, the west road is where Liu Dai's main army is located, and as for the army on Mount Tai, it is just an introduction." ”

Liu Bei was silent, the current development of the situation proves that Xi Zhicai's previous analysis is very accurate, so under the attack of Liu Dai and Yuan Shu, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are indeed difficult to protect themselves.

However, if Liu Bei really wanted to give up everything in the plains, lead the army to make a detour to Jizhou, and rush to Puyang, he still had a trace of hesitation in his heart.

Xi Zhicai observed the words and said: "Lord, when the matter is approaching, hesitation is a taboo for soldiers, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, under the siege of Liu Dai and Yuan Shu, it is difficult to protect himself, and the top priority of the lord now is to maintain his strength, jump out of the plain, the land of four wars, and lay a foundation." ”

Liu Bei raised his head and took a deep breath, held it for a moment, and then spit it out violently, his eyes were full of determination and determination, and the hesitation of Fang Cai was gone.

The situation in the world is changing too fast, and he is no longer allowed to hesitate, Qingzhou Kong Rong's kindness, he is not ignoring it, detouring Jizhou, rushing to Puyang, on the one hand, Jizhou Yuan Benchu pulled in, how much can Yanzhou Liu Dai be contained, on the other hand, rushing to Puyang, can make Dongjun Cao Cao dare not pour out the army, but also reduce the pressure on Qingzhou.

This kind of action is also to repay Kong Rong's kindness, but it is not in accordance with Kong Rong's instructions.

Liu Bei thought so in his heart, and said to Xi Zhicai: "What Mr. said is very true, the situation has changed, and then obeying the order of the envoy will only cause the army to fall into the encirclement of the states and counties of Yanzhou, which is not conducive to the war situation.
