In addition to these ten main forces, a total of 1.6 million, Gao Shun, the general of the trapped camp, led 1,000 troops; Huang Xu, the general of the Dragon Battalion (son of Huang Zhong), led a thousand troops (this is a special soldier that Zhang Chao has been carefully training, mainly to assassinate and inquire about intelligence, and the death of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was the credit of their alliance with the Tianyan Organization. It's just that it has been hidden in the shadows and is not known to outsiders. There are also 10,000 Zhangjia heavy cavalry with the first army in the world, and 20,000 Zhangjia light cavalry.

This combination of forces has formed a powerful Zhang Chao force, so that no one dares to underestimate him, even the alliance of Liu and Dong is also very jealous of him.

When the order was signed by Zhang Chao himself, the situation that some people were still panicking after recovering Jizhou quickly stabilized. After everyone saw that Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Ran, and Feng Ji were all reused, everyone was relieved, at least they didn't have to worry about what the general would do to settle accounts after the autumn.

Especially General Wen Chou, among them, has become the deputy commander of the First Legion, which is the army directly under Zhang Chao, and if he can serve there, he is regarded as the most trusted person, even if so, what else can they worry about?

The situation stabilized, and the legions began to intensify their training, and everyone knew that now besides them, all the other princes were fighting everywhere, and it would not be long before they would be put to use.

Sure enough, not long after the situation stabilized, the military division of the Fourth Army Corps and Li Ru, the military division of the Sixth Army Corps, were summoned to Jinyang City and met Zhang Chao in the general's mansion.

Speaking of which, unless Zhang Chao went down to the various legions to inspect and inspect, it would be difficult to meet with all the military divisions. At that time, the traffic was not like now, these military advisors were all guarding one side, once they wanted to return to Jinyang City, it would take several days to go back and forth, and even half a month away.

It is precisely because I haven't seen you for a long time that this meeting in the general's mansion is full of laughter.

Zhang Chao first greeted the physical condition of the two military advisors, and asked them to go to find a Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing before leaving to check their bodies. And this move also attracted the gratitude of the two military advisors.

After the politeness, Zhang Chao got down to business, talking about the battle between Liu and Dong and Ma Teng.

"I'm afraid Xiliang won't be able to hold it for too long." When he said this, Zhang Chao's tone was quite calm, but the two military advisors heard different meanings from them, that is, the general would definitely not sit back and watch it be occupied by Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei.

"Lord, give the order." After the two military advisors glanced at each other, they both got up from their chairs and hugged their fists towards Zhang Chao, who was sitting in the main seat.

The last time they besieged Jizhou, the Fourth Army Corps and the Sixth Army Corps failed to make a move, and their duty was to prevent Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao from taking advantage of the chaos on the border, and they missed a great opportunity because of this. This time, it was obvious that they were going to use troops against Dong Zhuo's troops in the west, and they naturally took it seriously.

The two military advisors came this time with the mission of asking for battle. For this reason, the commanders and deputy commanders of the Fourth and Sixth Legions, as well as the generals under them, all had great expectations.

Zhang Chao can let the two of them come, and it is for this reason. He doesn't want others to say who he values and who he protects. In his position, he needs a bowl of water to do many things, after all, these people are his subordinates.

Now seeing that the two military advisors took the initiative to ask for battle, he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I am very happy that the two gentlemen can take the initiative to ask for battle." In that case, you can go back after checking your health, and as for how to fight, I will not interfere. Listen to my orders and do it. ”

As for how to fight the war, Zhang Chao really rarely interfered. He often just proposes a general direction, and how to implement it next is that the military divisions and corps commanders below have their own magical powers. In fact, this was the case when Jizhou was captured, and good results were achieved.

Zhang Chao is going to learn from him, and the two military advisors bent down and respectfully agreed. They all know that the time has come to show what they are capable of.

For the two military advisors, Zhang Chao was relieved. But he still didn't forget to remind them: "Your enemy this time is not only Dong Zhuo, but also Liu Bei, the Tianyan Organization has already sent news, near Chang'an, Zhuge Kongming personally sat on guard, this person is not simple, and I hope that the two military advisors will be cautious and cautious when they do things, don't fall for this person's tricks." ”

Zhang Chao is a person from the past, and he is naturally very clear about Zhuge Liang's ability. This person is also very good at methods, and it is also appropriate to be a reminder.

"My subordinates have made a note of it." Fu Zhu and Li Ru both hugged their fists in response. They have already understood the task this time, that is, not only to capture Yongzhou, but also to take Xiliang at the same time, if it is done, this is definitely a great achievement, and they are naturally excited. As for the Ministry of Zhuge Liang, they are not bad.

After talking to the two, Zhang Chao smiled and asked him to step down. Now everything is ready, just waiting for Ma Teng to send the third son as a proton, and for this matter, he is also very confident, now that the other party has no choice, Xiliang will definitely lose, the difference is only what the ending of the Ma family is.

Now only he will give them a way to live, believing this, Ma Teng can take it lightly, and it can also be seen how he chose.

Zhang Chao's wait didn't take too long, and Ma Dai finally came.

After leaving for nearly a month, he came to Jinyang City again, this time not only he and General Cheng Yin, but also the third son Ma Tie, who was also Ma Teng's youngest son.

handed over his youngest son to Zhang Chao's hands, which is equivalent to Ma Teng's decision to surrender to Zhang Chao.

That is, showing enough sincerity, Zhang Chao said in front of Ma Dai and the others: "I have decided to immediately send troops into Yongzhou, open a road from behind, and then attack in two flats, take Dong Zhuo, and save Xiliang." ”

"The Great General is mighty." Looking at Zhang Chao's righteous appearance, Ma Dai and the three of them should hold their fists and bow down, and at this moment they already have the appearance of being courtiers.

According to Zhang Chao's meaning, Cheng Yin stayed in Jinyang City to accompany the third son, Ma Tie. Ma Dai needed to rush back immediately and tell Ma Teng about Zhang Chao's troops, so that he could make some preparations.

And just after Ma Dai left, another flying eagle biography written by Zhang Chao was handed out. What is written in the order is the dispatch of the Fourth Army and the Sixth Army to Yongzhou. Originally, the places they needed to protect were taken over by Captain Zhang Liao of the Seventh Legion and Captain Lu Bu of the Vanguard Legion.

As soon as the military order arrived, the Fourth Army Corps and the Sixth Army Corps, which had already made full preparations, immediately moved from the garrison and headed towards Tongguan, the junction of Sili and Yongzhou. The entire army of 300,000 marched mightily and magnificently.

Zhang Chao's army finally moved, which naturally did not hide from Zhuge Liang, who had been paying close attention to everything.

Hearing the exact news, Zhang Chao's army finally moved, Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, but happy, and his face showed a relieved state.

Zhuge Liang already had a strategy before using his troops, that is, if he wanted to capture Xiliang, he had to hit Zhang Chao hard. Otherwise, even if you take it temporarily, I'm afraid it will be difficult to really swallow.

Now Zhang Chao's army has really appeared, so as long as this army can be severely damaged, it can deter Zhang Chao from daring to act rashly, so that he can attack Xiliang wholeheartedly.

After nearly ten years out of the mountain, Zhuge Liang finally ushered in the first frontal collision battle with Zhang Chao's army. In his excitement, he stood in front of the map, calculating his next steps and whatever might happen.

The two major legions were ordered to go out, with the fourth army corps as the first and the sixth army as the second, from Tongguan to Yongzhou, and went straight to Zheng County.

Zheng County was captured by Zhang Chao before, and there were 5,000 city guards here, which was a matter of border defense.

By the time the Fourth Legion was the first to arrive, the soldiers here had already prepared a hot meal.

The corps commander Zhang He, the military advisor Fu Zhu, and the deputy corps commander Gao Gan did not eat at the first time, but the three of them got together to discuss things.

The last time they attacked Jizhou, they were not put to use, and later they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the other legions had made military achievements. Now that he is going to use troops against Dong Zhuo, Zhang Chao used them in the first battle, so naturally they were all full of spirit.

"Strategist, just tell me what to do." The legion commander Zhang He's eyes looked at the military advisor with an eager expression.

The deputy corps commander on the side also showed a monkey-like expression. He can be regarded as the first person in the original Jizhou soldiers to be reused by Zhang Chao on the battlefield, and his performance will directly affect the other generals who surrendered from Jizhou, so he did not dare to be careless and sloppy in this battle.

Seeing that the chief and deputy commanders were so eager, he was also very happy. To march and fight, we must first have momentum and murderous spirit. Now, it seems, there is no shortage of this. Such an army should be able to complete the task well.

"Okay, even if the two generals are going to fight, then I will announce the order." As he spoke, he also moved his fingers and said to the map: "This is our current location, and it is only twenty miles away from Dong Zhuojun's Wang Fang's headquarters, I ask you to go to eat and rest immediately, and then set off at the third watch, rush to Xinfeng City at dawn, and then capture the city for me in one go, so as to show the power of our four legions." ”

Frustrated and pointed to the map, and said angrily.

Attacking is exactly what Fu Zhu had in mind this time. To say that in siege warfare, the besieging side often has no advantage, and even in order to achieve the goal, I don't know how much to pay. But Frustration still decided like this, and it was really out of helplessness.

As early as when Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei began to use troops to Xiliang, Wang Fang arrived at Xinfeng with an army of 100,000 and began to strengthen the city wall, making a defensive intention.
