"Zhang He greets the lord!"

Zhang He's different hearts together, but he found that he was indeed no longer tolerant of Yuan Jun, and he was the most ruthless, so he still responded to Wei Tao's invitation.

As for the exchange of hostages, it was not so troublesome, Wei Tao directly asked people to put Ju Yi back.

"It doesn't have to be like this, please get up! Please! ”

Wei Tao immediately got up and helped Zhang He up, and said to Zhang He at the same time.

"I know that the righteous are loyal and righteous people, but the people of the Yuan family are mediocre and talented, how can they know each other? Now that the righteousness is under my account, it will be reused in the future. ”

For Zhang He, Wei Tao didn't want to be too excited, after all, Zhang He was really calculated by Wei Tao step by step, and he was not allowed to Yuan Jun.

Therefore, Wei Tao is ready to let Zhang Hezhen guard the annex state first, and then talk about anything else.

"Lord Qiqi, although Yuan Jun doesn't know anyone, but I also have eyes and no beads, and I mistakenly believe in Yuan Benchu. Now I heard that the general is preparing to fight with Yuan Jun ten days later, Zhang He has no merits when he first comes, if the lord believes me, dare to ask the lord to let Zhang He be the vanguard and compete with Yuan Jun! ”

But just when Wei Tao was about to say what he was going to prepare for Zhang He, Zhang He suddenly bowed to Wei Tao again, and said seriously.

"This ......"

Rao is Wei Tao is broad-minded, and at this time, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and couldn't help but persuade him.

"What should be the result? If this is the case, I am afraid that the reputation of the righteous will be ruined in the future, so will I not harm the righteousness? ”

Wei Tao is not afraid that Zhang He will rebel, after all, even if he wants to make such a trip. Always have to encircle his subordinates first, and now that Zhang He is new, it will only take ten days to fight Yuan Tan again. Even if Zhang He had the ability to reach the sky, it would be impossible to attract many people to rebel in front of the battle.

So now Zhang Hezhi's move is a kind of determination, a determination to join Wei Tao's camp and never change.

"Dare to ask the lord to agree, Zhang Heding will live up to the lord's expectations!"

Seeing Wei Tao's hesitation, Zhang He did not hesitate to ask again.

Wei Tao looked into Zhang He's eyes, and he could see clearly, and there was a kind of tenacity in Zhang He's eyes. There is even more unwillingness!

Wei Tao understood that Zhang He's request to be a pioneer was to show himself that he meant to take refuge, but at the same time, he also wanted to prove that he Zhang He was not incompetent. wants to prove that Yuan Jun has eyes and does not know talents.

"I know that I am a righteous talent, why do I need to be like this?"

Wei Tao sighed, and then patted Zhang He's shoulder, which was serious.

"Since it is necessary to do so. Then I am entrusted with the position of pioneer. However, I have said first, if I am a loser in righteousness, and as a pioneer but loses the spirit of our army, then I will not blame my ruthless military law. ”

"Thank you for your trust, and you will definitely live up to your lord's trust!"

Hearing that Wei Tao was willing to appoint himself as a pioneer, Zhang He was immediately overjoyed.

As Wei Tao expected, although Zhang He voluntarily surrendered to Wei Tao because of the distrust of Yuan Tan and others. But in my heart, I was extremely unconvinced.

This dissatisfaction is not directed at Wei Tao.

In Zhang He's view, the two armies clashed. Each has its own extreme, which is nothing, but the Yuan family brothers are narrow-minded, and after trying their best several times, they become more and more suspicious of the Yuan family.

Although this can be said to be the Yuan brothers' ignorance of talents, it is also a denial of Zhang He, a person with ability like Zhang He is arrogant, how can he endure this?

Therefore, Zhang Hecai worshiped Wei Tao as the main father, and asked Wei Tao for the position of pioneer, in order to be ashamed!

"Good! Junyi went down to rest, and then let Wen Yuan and Zilong lead the general to the barracks, and there were 800 cavalry under my command, all of which were handed over to Junyi. Don't let me down. ”

These 800 cavalry were barely surviving after several major battles since Wei Tao attacked Jizhou, and all the cavalry were extremely loyal to Wei Tao.

Although Wei Tao did not believe that Zhang He could rebel immediately, Wei Tao had to take some necessary precautions.

"No!"

Zhang Yiyi wanted to prove himself, and when he heard that he had to lead the cavalry, it was exactly what he thought, and he immediately promised loudly.

After Zhang He went down, Wei Tao Wei Tao thought about it.

Although Zhang He has been obtained, speaking of which, the situation of Yuan Jun being stronger has not changed.

After the combined army, Yuan's army should be about 40,000, and although there are more than 20,000 people on his side, more than half of them are soldiers, and it is impossible to rely on them to fight.

But this time in the big war, Yuan Tan is also shrewd, although he made an appointment, but he set the battlefield on the plain, so that the chances of being able to carry out his tricks are much less.

The reason why Wei Tao agreed to this is not that Wei Tao is stupid, but that Wei Tao understands that Yuan Jun, who has suffered losses again and again, already knows the abilities of Zhou Yu, Xun You, and Zhuge Jin, and it is impossible to fight with himself in wisdom, but to suppress it with his strength.

And if Wei Tao doesn't agree, then Yuan Jun will definitely choose to storm Hejian City, which is also to force himself to fight hard.

After the fire in the river, the city was already dilapidated, the defense was greatly reduced, and after several battles in a row, Wei Tao had already found that his soldiers were exhausted, and if he fought such a time-consuming battle as the siege battle, he might not be able to hold on.

Therefore, a quick solution has become Wei Tao's most important choice.

Of course, if Wei Tao has no advantage at all, it is not necessarily true, at least the eight hundred cavalry in Wei Tao's hands is a powerful weapon.

While Wei Tao was thinking, Zhou Yu and the others arrived, and when they saw Wei Tao, they immediately asked directly.

"The lord is worried about the battle with Yuan Jun ten days later?"

"Yes, if this battle can be won, then unless Yuan Benchu returns to the army immediately, otherwise I can sit firmly in this small half of Jizhou, and if Yuan Benchu returns to the army, the prestige he has accumulated before will definitely be lost, so I expect that he will definitely not return."

Wei Tao nodded, and brought a few people here to seek out against him, and said with a wry smile on his face.

"But again, if this battle is lost, our army will have to withdraw from the river, and even the Zhen family will repeat it. After suffering a few big losses, Yuan Jun may no longer be easy to scheming, and I have to worry about it. ”

Wei Tao's concerns Zhou Yu and others naturally knew, and the reason why Wei Tao would send Zhuge Jin to write a war letter was also related to several people, and now seeing Wei Tao's worries, Zhou Yu immediately said.

"The lord doesn't have to be like this, our army has three victories: first, Yuan's army has been defeated several times before, and our army has won several victories, and the momentum is even more than it; Second, although the Yuan army has a lot of soldiers, but there are no generals, and I don't say the courage of the lord, the generals under his command, such as Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun, are all enemies of ten thousand people; Third, everyone knows that the discord between the two armies of the Yuan army is well known, and our army will definitely be able to go down if they are united. ”

"I know what Gong Jin said, but our army is exhausted, and the grain and grass are not abundant, if not, how can I prepare for a hasty battle? And Yuan's army has newly received reinforcements, and its strength has recovered a lot, and it is really a battle, and the outcome is unpredictable! ”

How Wei Tao is not familiar with military affairs, words alone are not enough to defeat Yuan Jun.

"If there is no conspiracy, it will be difficult!"

Zhou Yu and the three of them were silent for a while, and if this is the case, they can't.

"Lord, I have a way to do it."

At this time, Zhuge Jin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"The day before yesterday, I went to Yuan Jun to be a lobbyist, and found that Yuan Shang had a fierce look in his eyes, combined with the scene of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang each wishing for the other party's heavy losses in the previous war, I have a guess, if the lord can contact Yuan Shang and ask him to help and conspire with Yuan Jun, there should be a thirty percent possibility."

Wei Tao's heart moved when he heard this.

The possibility of thirty percent is already not small, you must know that Yuan Shang is also a member of the Yuan family, and there is no reason to help outsiders to plan their own army at ordinary times.

"Lord, what Ziyu said is true, if this plan is successful, then I will increase as soon as I defeat, and then cooperate with the advantage of cavalry, then it will be okay to defeat Yuan Jun."

Zhou Yu and Xun You both agreed with Zhuge Jin's plan, and obviously the two also thought that Yuan Shang belonged to someone who could move.

"In what interest?"

Wei Tao was slightly silent and immediately asked, if he could make Yuan Shang defect without any evidence, it would be impossible at all.

"Lord, with Yuan Shang's identity, no gold, silver and jewelry can be used, and only by making it possible for Yuan Shao to value it can it be possible to move his heart."

Hearing Zhou Yu say this, Wei Tao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"I don't have that ability."

"No, the lord can, as long as the lord wants to."

But Zhou Yu shook his head at this time and said seriously.

"In the current situation, if Yuan Tan wins, Yuan Shang's hope is even slimmer, so he hopes that Yuan Tan will lose. But just like this, it is not enough for Yuan Shang to help secretly, so Yuan Shang needs to win, so if the lord is willing to defeat and let him be ashamed, he will move. ”

"Defeat? How to lose? Is it impossible to return the river? ”

Wei Tao was not reluctant to have a river, but asked rhetorically.

Even if it is a fraud, it is not easy, and the more people there are, the more so, because first, the defeat is likely to be seen by the other party, and secondly, if the fraud fails, it is likely to cause a real rout.

Moreover, Zhou Yu's words obviously have the meaning of letting Yuan Shang establish meritorious service, if there is no merit, Yuan Shang will not be recognized by Yuan Shao, which is undoubtedly even more difficult.

"Yes, but the lord is not necessarily impossible. First, there are many vicious people in the Black Mountain who should be killed, but they are not easy to kill since they have surrendered, so they can be killed by Yuan Shang's hand. Second, among the 10,000 Yuan troops who surrendered, there are already people who want to regret it, and they can be made prisoners of the Yuan army, and the other two can cut off the hidden dangers of our army. ”

Since Zhuge Jin proposed to unite with Yuan Shang, he naturally had already thought of countermeasures.

"In the end, the lord can let Yuan Shang make meritorious service and make great contributions. In fact, this is not difficult, as long as the lord defeats Yuan Tan, let Yuan Shang save Yuan Tan. ”

"Yes, if Yuan Tan doesn't want Yuan Shang to make meritorious contributions, he will definitely put it behind, although he wins first and then loses, which damages the prestige of the lord, but compared with this matter, we think we can still do it."

After thinking about it slightly, Zhou Yu and Xun You all agreed with Zhuge Jin's opinion. (To be continued......)
