At least since then, the soldiers have dared to use their lives on the battlefield, for them, not only can their families receive enough preferential treatment after death, but also their souls have a place to rest, which is of great significance to human beings whose minds are still in feudal society at that time.

It's just that no matter what Zhang Chao took the opportunity to do, Xu Rong's death is indeed a fact.

With that, he had to do something. "Well, do you three know the mistake?"

"I'll know what I'm wrong." Zhang Chao finally wanted to be held accountable, and for some reason, Li Ru and the three of them actually had a sense of ease. This punishment will be there sooner or later, so it's better not to hang it, it's better to come early.

"Wrongdoing? So many people died, and even the life of Commander Xu Rong was involved, how can you explain it with a single word of mistake? Zhang Chao's voice became a little sharper, which also caused the three Li Ru who were kneeling on the ground to lower their heads.

Just when they were waiting for Zhang Chao to say something, especially the heavier, the better, the originally sharp voice turned calm again. "This matter is put aside for now, and then it depends on your performance, if you don't perform well, I don't think you can be in the position you are in now. Whether it is in the Zhangjia Military Academy or the Zhangjiawen Academy, there are many young people who boast of their talents, and I think they should be very eager for your current position, do you understand what I mean? ”

Although Zhang Chao didn't say anything deeply, the meaning of his words was very clear. That is, if the next three can't have a good performance, I'm afraid they will have to step back from their respective positions, if that's the case, I don't think there will be a better position waiting for them.

Whether it is to be able to become a legion commander or a legion division, he is very proud in his bones. If they don't want to do it, or feel that the person they are talking to is not the master and has no future, they may take the initiative to retreat, then it is better to say. But being forced to be forced to be in the lower position, it was too painful. For such a proud person, such an outcome is beyond their reach.

Seeing that some juniors have surpassed themselves, and all the reasons are that they are not good enough, if such a thing really happens, I am afraid that they will live in happiness for the rest of their lives.

originally thought that Zhang Chao would just scold them and forget it, after all, Li Ruji was punished, and it seemed that the matter had passed like this. But I never thought that the lord had the intention of changing people, and for a while, the three of them were afraid of themselves, and hurriedly slammed their heads on the ground and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to perform and will not disappoint." ”

Looking at the respectful appearance of the three of them, Zhang Chao nodded with satisfaction. This is exactly what he wants, and sometimes it is better to be agitated, and I believe that with those words just now, these three people should do their best to exert their abilities.

Of course, if these three people don't perform well because of recklessness or other reasons, then Zhang Chao really wants to replace them.

Since ancient times, whether it is a powerful empire or a powerful empire, if it wants to develop, it needs to be constantly updated. Only in this way, with more fresh blood infusion, can this force develop healthily and eventually become a behemoth.

As soon as Zhang Chao came, he forcibly suppressed the momentum of Li Ru and the others, and said: "Okay, I'm tired all the way, so tomorrow, when the other legions are in place, all the corps commanders, military divisions, and deputy corps commanders will come to me for a meeting." ”

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Chao said to Li Ru and the others. With the continuous improvement of his status, Zhang Zhiyuan now rarely shows his joy and anger on his face. There is a saying that distance produces beauty, and this saying also applies here. He just wants to take the initiative to distance himself from these subordinates, so that he can be more mysterious and more high. At this moment, Zhang Chao has some experience and understanding of the name Lonely.

It is said that since ancient times, kings have been the most ruthless and lonely.

But how many people know that this ruthlessness is for the better development of the country, and this loneliness is also for the better unification of the regime?

...... ......

Yongzhou Yin City.

In the main hall of the palace, Zhuge Liang, who was holding a goose feather fan in his hand and dressed in white, was standing in front of a map of Yongzhou at the moment and frowned lightly.

For a whole afternoon, Zhuge Liang had been standing in front of the map, not saying a word.

The pro-soldiers who knew what he was used to knew knew that this must be a difficult problem for the military advisor, so no one came in to bother him. It wasn't until General Zhang Fei and General Zhang Xiu came to visit together that the soldiers had to go into the house to report to each other.

"Military division, the third general and General Zhang Xiu are here." After the soldier pushed open the door, he lowered his head and whispered.

"Oh, please." Hearing the report of the pro-soldiers, Zhuge Liang finally turned around, then stretched his waist, moved his muscles and bones, and sat down cross-legged on the first seat.

Soon, Zhang Fei, who had a black face and a beard, and Zhang Xiu, who had a sad face, walked into the hall.

"Take a seat." Zhuge Liang's tightly knit brows at this time had already been released, and he was relaxed and confident at this moment.

It's not that Zhuge Liang came up with any good way, but as a military advisor, as the soul of the current army, he must not show the slightest non-calm look, otherwise, if the emotions are infected below, there will be big problems.

Zhang Fei has been paying attention to Zhuge Liang's reaction since he entered the room, and after seeing that the other party was still confident, he laughed loudly: "The military advisor looks good, it seems that he should have thought of a way to deal with the enemy." ”

"Yes, the military advisor is wise, there is no problem to live in." Zhang Xiu on the side was also echoing at the moment.

To say that Zhang Xiu will behave like this, if it is not because he has such a heart and is willing to do things like horses, the current situation is too unfavorable.

I thought that after defeating the reinforcements sent by Zhang Chao, people would be honest, so that they could join up with General Guan Yu to attack Xiliang, in that case, victory would be within reach.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chao, who had suffered a loss, was indeed furious, and even killed two complete legions and a legion of 100,000 people, a total of 400,000 people, as reinforcements. This is nothing, before anyone arrived, it was rumored that they arrived first, that is, they were determined to avenge General Xu Rong, and Zhang Xiu, who was the "murderer", was naturally the first to bear the brunt.

It is conceivable that in the face of Zhang Chaoda this time, maybe others will have a chance to back down, but Zhang Xiu is afraid that no one will agree with him to do so. It seems that in the morning, he heard a piece of news, that is, Zhang Chao sent a messenger to send a handwritten letter, it was written that if Zhuge Liang retreats now and hands over the murderer Zhang Xiu, then the general will only target Dong Zhuo's family. If there is a condition that is not agreed, it will be waved to the west road, at that time, Fei Dan will force Yongzheng and Xiliang, and even Yizhou is afraid that there will be a military crisis.

As soon as Zhang Xiuchu heard this rumor, he was taken aback, and after thinking about it again, he hurriedly found the third general Zhang Fei and wanted to come to the military division with him to have a look. He was really worried that Zhuge Liang would hand himself over because he was afraid, and that would really make him dare not think about it.

Fortunately, now that he sees Zhuge Liang, it seems that the military advisor is very calm, which makes his hanging heart relax a lot.

Zhuge Liang was so smart, he naturally saw Zhang Xiu's worries. In order to dispel his concerns, he immediately said with a smile: "The two generals, please rest assured, we may not lose this battle." ”

As if to calm his heart, Zhuge Liang also raised a bamboo slip in his hand and said: "This is the letter sent by Cao Cao, which has clearly stated that he will send troops to Zhang Chao, and at that time, once Jizhou and Sili are attacked, presumably this so-called general can only retreat." ”

"Cao Cao agreed to send troops?" Zhang Fei had just heard the news, so he naturally asked curiously.

"Yes, he agreed to send troops." Zhuge Liang nodded very confidently. But only he knew that Cao Cao promised to send troops, but the premise was to see that he had severely damaged Zhang Chao's main force before sending troops.

To say that Cao Cao is a very cunning person, his wisdom is also quite high. Seeing that Liu Bei angered Zhang Chao, the two of them were going to have a big battle, and it was too late for him to be happy. In his heart, he wished that these two people would fight and lose both.

Naturally, the premise is that both sides lose, and if one side wins, this situation is naturally what Cao Cao does not want to see.

For this reason, in his reply, Cao Cao wrote that once Zhuge Liang could inflict a heavy blow on Zhang Chao's army and kill the opponent's sharp spirit, he would send troops to Jizhou, and even send troops to cut off the way back to the east of Zhang Chao's army.

That's all Cao Cao's reply. It's just that Zhuge Liang is here, when he said it, he did set up an ambush, in order to give confidence to the soldiers below, of course he couldn't tell the truth, but just said it in favor of himself.

At the moment when Zhang Chao gave Xu Rong a memorial service, after saying that he was going to send troops to Yongzheng, Zhuge Liang, who got the news, immediately wrote to Cao Cao and asked for a union.

After all, the current Zhang Chao is too powerful, and it is difficult for Liu Bei to stop the other party with his own strength, not to mention, there are still 300,000 troops in Xiliang, and they can't be separated. Without a strong ally, he had no confidence that he would be victorious.

Therefore, finding Cao Cao, an ally, and discussing sending troops together to disperse Zhang Chao's forces has become the most important thing.

Zhuge Liang also analyzed that if he was hit hard, Zhang Chao would become even stronger, which was not what Cao Cao wanted to see. For this reason, he also has some hope for joining forces with Zhang Chao at this moment. The only thing I am worried about is that now that Cao Apo is using troops against Dongwu, he is a little worried about whether he will be able to draw troops to contain Zhang Chao.
