This is the end of the military meeting, all the generals naturally leave the account quickly, they all need to go back to arrange, and they also need to pick out the best soldiers, they want to be the first person to attack Xinfeng City, and win the first merit.

Compared with the hurried departure of the generals, the three military divisions were indeed at the end. Waiting for the tent to come out, after there was no one else around, the three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"The lord is going to use his strength to crush the enemy, will it cost too much to do so?" As the elder among them, he raised his own questions in front of the two military advisors.

The strength of the competition is naturally stronger than Zhang Chao, but if he can have a perfect plan for the war, he can naturally achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost. Blindly brute force is not the work of wise men.

It is precisely because he knows the truth that he has some doubts.

As soon as he said this, Li Ru shook his head slightly, obviously feeling the same way. However, Pang Tong on the side had a smile on his face as usual, and he did not mean to support this opinion.

Frustrated Zhi noticed Pang Tong's attitude, and couldn't help but say with questions: "Brother Shiyuan, what do you think?" ”

"Hehe, Gao Jian can't talk about it, but do you remember that the lord once said such a sentence, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, and focus on destroying the enemy's living forces?" Pang Tong said very humbly.

"Huh?" Whether it was frustration or Li Ru, they all looked stunned after hearing his words, and began to ponder the meaning of this sentence.

"Hehe, the lord clearly wants to use the death of General Xu Rong to stimulate the generals, and then win with strong force. Alas, speaking of which, this is not the best way to do it, but is there any other clever plan that cannot be achieved at the moment? What kind of ability is that Zhuge Liang, the two military advisors must know very well, huh? Seeing that the two of them still seemed puzzled, Pang Tong continued to guide and speak.

Fu Zhu and Li Ru were very smart people, and after this reminder, they immediately understood, and then they all nodded lightly.

Yes, compared to strategy, if they can make a move, Zhuge Liang can make a move, so that the victory or defeat is still five or five. And if it is forced by force, it will ultimately depend on who is strong, and who can take advantage of more. Even so, the losses can be a bit big, but it's better than insurance.

General Xu Rong has died, and now the group can't have problems, otherwise the morale will be greatly affected, in this case, I am afraid that it will only be more difficult to win.

"I see, my lord is wise." Li Ru was the first to understand, and immediately sighed.

"Yes, the wisdom of the lord is beyond our reach." At this moment, Fu Zhu also had to say in admiration.

In fact, smarter than his mind, Zhang Chao is naturally inferior to these military advisors who have been famous for many years, and he only made such a decision because of his understanding of history. What kind of character Zhuge Liang is, if he wants to use tricks to hide from him, it is too difficult to win, even if this is the case, it is better to abandon the strategy and only take the strength of the tough, so that there will be no obvious loopholes, and there will be no chance for the other party to play.

Xu Rongji's death can be regarded as a defeat. If Zhang Chao's personal expedition fails to win this time, it will be too big a blow to the entire group. This consequence is that even Zhang Zhiyuan himself can't afford it. Even so, he must win this battle.

For this result, it is worth paying some price. As long as you can make a name for yourself through this battle, it's fine.

Zhang Chao gave an order here, and after the commanders of the corps returned, they did start busy and intense preparations. After all, only 10,000 soldiers can be used to attack the city, so who to let and who not to go up needs to be carefully studied.

And for this reason, it seems that several legions have blown up their nests.

After knowing that this battle involved the military prestige of various legions, especially the general Zhang Chao would be watching from the sidelines, many soldiers were excited. This is an excellent opportunity for meritorious service, and some of these soldiers with strong individual quality do not want to miss such an opportunity, and they have found their company commanders, battalion commanders, regiment commanders, and even division commanders to fight.

For this reason, many soldiers even wrote blood letters, expressing their desire for this battle.

In fact, not only these soldiers, but also the generals were also fighting, just like the vanguard legion was in the tent, and Lu Bu was arguing with Hou Chengkai and Hou Chengkai because of this.

"Commander, this is a great opportunity for meritorious service, please fulfill it." Hou Cheng knelt on the ground, a picture of if you don't promise me, I won't get up.

Lu Bu was indeed a black line in his head, standing there not knowing what to say.

If you want to say that as a corps commander, if you have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, of course, you have to consider your subordinates, but rushing straight ahead was not the first idea he said, if he didn't go, I was afraid that it would inevitably make people look down on him.

"This... Hou Cheng, I can promise you anything else, but this time it's really not good. Lu Bu's embarrassed voice came out, and he didn't even seem to be very confident.

"Why not? I just got the news that the Fourth Legion and the Sixth Legion are all led by the deputy commanders, so why can't they come to me? Hou Cheng looked up and asked with an unconvinced look.

The commander of the fourth corps is Zhang He, and the deputy corps commander is Gao Gan.

The commander of the Sixth Army is Dian Wei, and the deputy commander is Yan Liang.

These two deputy corps commanders have one thing in common, that is, they are both people who surrendered from the Jizhou legion. Xu Rong's death was originally to save Yan Liang, and naturally, these people also wanted to win back this game, of course they would fight to the death.

For this reason, the commander of the Dian Wei Army, who has always liked to rush to the front, had to take a step back, because the reason given by Yan Liang was very simple, if he could not participate in the war this time, he would commit suicide, and he would be guilty of killing General Xie Xu Rong.

Dian Wei was also forced to have no choice, so he had to agree to Yan Liang's request.

It was precisely because Hou Cheng heard these news that he had never been able to take his turn, so he took the initiative to come to ask for his life and knelt down in front of Lu Bu.

"That's different, they're them, we're us. Okay, things are decided like this, so that I can promise you, the next time there is a battle, will you be the vanguard general? Lu Bu also knew that it was difficult to persuade Hou Cheng, so he had to promise.

Hearing that he could serve as a vanguard general next time, Hou Chengcheng knew that the corps commander had already made concessions, so he had to accept it when he saw it: "Okay, it's just that you have to kill more enemies tomorrow, and kill a few more for me." ”

"Rest assured, rest assured." Seeing that Hou Cheng was indisputable, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, there was a fine light in his eyes, and tomorrow he would definitely be the first to rush to the city tower and make the first contribution.

What happened between the legions, Zhang Chao may or may not know. But one thing is clear, that is, he has never expressed any attitude on such a matter, but left it to the generals below to mediate.

He has already built the platform, and how to fight next depends on the ability of each legion.

As soon as the next day dawned, the war drums in the legions naturally sounded. And in the morning, after Zhang Chao had breakfast, he went towards Xinfeng City under the heavy protection of the guard chief Xu Chu and the five thousand Zhang family troops.

On top of the castle tower of Xinfeng City.

After General Wang Fang heard the news from the scouts that Zhang Chao's army was approaching, he also changed into a battle armor and went to the city tower.

"Strategist, the general is menacing, do you have any good plans?" When I got to the city tower, I saw Mr. Hu Zhen, the military advisor, and he walked forward in a few steps, and said as if asking for advice.

"This... For now, I am afraid that I can only defend the city first. And as long as the other party's sharpness is measured, Zhuge Liang will have a plan at that time. Hu Zhen shook her head, looking like she didn't have a good idea.

Hu Zhen, a talented scholar, is one of the very few wise scholars in Dong Zhuojun's army.

He once fought against Zhang Chao's army, but he was defeated, and then he escaped back, and was once again reused, and was arranged to serve as an important task to assist Wang Fang.

In the last battle to kill Xu Rong, Dong Zhuojun didn't do anything, but he was just a bait. And after hearing Zhuge Liang's victory, they celebrated. thought that after hitting Zhang Chao hard, he could get a burst of peace.

Who would have thought that it had only been a long time before people came to kill again, and they came with a heavy army. When they reported the news to Zhuge Liang behind them, they were indeed asked to hold Xinfeng City, and said that they would only come to support if they could take measures to suspect the sharp spirit of Zhang's super army first.

Originally, Yongzhou was their territory, but now that there is something, they naturally need to come to guard it, which is not easy to shirk. It's just that Zhiru Zhuge Liang can't think of any good way, what idea do you want Hu Zhen to come up with now, where does he have such a ability?

Wang Fang just asked casually, and didn't have any hope, he also knew that the general was not easy to deal with, and this time he came with five legions, presumably the general strategy would be difficult to work. "Okay, let's follow Zhuge Liang's words and stay here, hum! This time, we have been preparing for a long time, but we want to see if the general's men and horses have three heads and six arms, and how to attack my fortified city. ”

When he said this, Wang Fang's face was full of confidence. This is all because he has prepared enough bows and arrows, fire oil, boulders, sleepers, etc., which can come in handy in the event of a siege.

With an army of 100,000 guarding a city, the king still has some confidence.

It's just that this kind of confidence, after Zhang Chao's army drove over, was hit strongly.

Yesterday, Zhang Chao had already ordered that all legions could send troops to attack, but they could only send a maximum of 10,000 horses to attack the city. But that doesn't mean that other soldiers can't come to help. For this reason, when the legions arrived, they were basically full except for the logistics personnel.
