"Okay." The generals below couldn't help but be very excited when they heard the news, although it was not the first time they had heard the news, they still felt very relieved. This time, he ran away Wei Yan, seriously injured Guan Yu, and killed Guan Yu's son Guan Ping.

Looking at the excited looks of the generals below, Zhang Chao immediately took out a second letter and said: "This is a quick letter sent by King Ma Teng of Liang, saying that Dong Zhuo is now attacking Cangsong City, the gateway of Liangzhou Zhigu Zang City, and some of them can't stand it, and they urgently beg our army to help." ”

"Not really." Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, stood up and said, "Didn't the news say that Ma Teng still has 200,000 soldiers in his hands?" Now Dong Zhuo only has 300,000 horses, and it is not easy to capture the city with this strength. ”

"Yes, what General Jun Yi said is under normal circumstances. But think about it, nearly half a year has passed since Ma Teng was blocked in Cangsong City. At the earliest, it was still a warm spring, and now it is about to enter the cold winter. Blindly blocked, plus Dong Zhuo's old thief has a Mr. Fa Zheng by his side, Xiliang's military heart has already been in chaos, if it weren't for our hopes, I'm afraid there would have been a rebellion a long time ago. When Zhang Chao talked about these facts, Fei Dan didn't look a little worried, but still had a trace of excitement.

I'm afraid no one knows why Zhang Chao is so excited.

When the Tianyan Organization sent Dong Zhuo's situation to him, Zhang Chao didn't care at first, but when he saw that Fa Zheng was by Dong Zhuo's side, he really felt a light in his eyes.

The law is correct, and the word is filial piety. Fufengyi (now Xiaofayi Town, Meixian County, Shaanxi Province) people. The grandson of the famous man Fazhen.

Fa Zheng is good at scheming, and is deeply trusted and respected by Liu Bei. During the Battle of Hanzhong in history, he proposed to behead Cao Cao's general Xiahou Yuan.

Zhuge Liang admired Fa Zhengshan's ingenuity, and even Chen Shou, the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, compared him to Cheng Yu and Guo Jia of Wei.

For talented people, Zhang Chaoshu is hungry and thirsty, not to mention a wise person like Fazheng, which is the target of his long time ago.

However, Liu Bei still has some means of employing people, and his mind is not once generous, which can be seen from the fact that he can quickly subdue the hearts of the people there not long after he entered Yizhou. And it will undoubtedly be very difficult to carry out any counter-plot against such a person. Not to mention that it will take a long time, and it will not have any effect if you don't get it right.

But he never expected that this time, in order to allow Dong Jun to fully cooperate with Liu Bei's actions, Fa Zheng would take a risk alone and enter Dong Zhuo's big account, which is definitely a great opportunity for Zhang Chao.

Even if it is a good opportunity, Zhang Chao certainly has no reason not to fight for it. So, after he got the news, he immediately ordered someone to send a message to General Huang Zhong, who was heading from Jingyang City to Jincheng County, ordering him to speed up his progress and block Dong Zhuo's escape no matter what.

And this third letter was sent back by General Huang Zhong, after they got the order, they rushed all the way to Jincheng County, and finally blocked Dong Zhuo's army in the three cities of Zhiyang, Yunjie, and Lingju.

Holding the third letter, Zhang Chao said: "General Huang Zhong rushed all the way and blocked Dong Zhuo's way to escape, so Dong Thief knew that there was no way back, so how could he not fight to the death with Ma Teng?" In this way, the situation there will deteriorate even more. ”

The generals and military advisors listened to Zhang Chao's analysis, and they all nodded their foreheads. Then Dian Wei, the commander of the Sixth Legion, stood up one step and said: "That is the case, the lord should lead the army to Jincheng quickly, copy Dong Zhuo's back road, and then attack from both sides, and will definitely attack in one attack." ”

"Haha, Ziman can also use his brain, very good, that's what I think." Zhang Chao laughed.

Dian Wei, who was praised, also smiled and sat back down.

"It's just that I just said that there is a fourth letter, which is from General Xu Huang and Xu Shu's military division in Luoyang City, Cao Cao's 200,000 troops suddenly appeared outside Luoyang City, with the intention of attacking the city." When Zhang Chao talked about the fourth news, his face couldn't help but be much more solemn.

Personally set out to use troops against Yongliang, Zhang Chao never doubted his ability and the courage of the soldiers. The so-called Liu and Dong Lianjun are not very good in his eyes, as long as they can surround Zhuge Liang and make it impossible for him to give full play to his advantages, all problems will be solved.

In fact, soon after Zhuge Liang was besieged in Chang'an City, the situation of the war began to tilt towards Zhang Chao's side, and finally won the victory.

Zhang Chao seemed to have won without much effort, but in fact, he knew very well that this was all because Cao Cao did not intervene. This time, in order to obtain the land of Yongliang, he put most of his main force here, and his home was empty, once Luoyang was lost, the enemy army entered the territory of Bingzhou, where there were no heavy troops to defend.

In other words, whether this battle can be won depends entirely on whether Cao Cao will make a move, and when he will make a move.

has been on guard, and even prepared to send one or two legions back to defend once there is something at home, but there is no news for a long time, and he is really waiting for himself to capture Chang'an City, but Cao Cao did it instead, which makes him a little puzzled.

In this regard, Zhang Chao called the two military advisors who accompanied the army and conferred them on Li Ru.

The two thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't figure out why Cao Cao sent troops at this time, it was said that this was definitely the best opportunity missed. After thinking about it for a long time and not seeing the reason, they attributed it to the news avoidance.

In ancient times, it was extremely difficult to deliver a message. In general, it is carried by fast horse scouts, and there are also carrier pigeons. It's like Zhang Chao has been using the letter eagle to pass the book.

It's just that animals are unreliable many times after all, just like the letter eagle sent by Zhang Chao, there is also a lot of time when the news cannot be transmitted truthfully, and disappearances often occur, which leads to the most accurate transmission of news only with fast horse scouts.

In this way, the problem arises, that is, it takes too long for a message to go back and forth, and sometimes by the time you receive the information, the war may be over. Is it because Cao Cao did not deliver the news in a timely manner, so he thought that Chang'an City had not been captured, and it was a good time to send troops to Luoyang at this time?

It seems that there is only such an explanation, and when he can't think of any reason, Zhang Chao is convinced of this decision. Today, I convened a meeting of the generals to see which generals were willing to return to Luoyang.

In any case, Cao Cao sent troops after all, and in order to show enough respect, he also wanted to send troops back. After saying that, after these battles, Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo's 80,000 captives were captured, and these people were also going to be sent back to Luoyang City, and at that time, these people would be disrupted and resettled.

deliberately mentioned Cao Cao's dispatch of troops in front of the generals, just to see everyone's reaction and see who was willing to take the initiative to rush back to support Luoyang City.

Although Zhang Chao is not a general, he can know the feelings of these people, now that Chang'an has been breached, Liu Beijun is defeated and fled, seeing that the great achievement is in front of him, only one Dong Zhuo is just a turtle in the urn.

Seeing that the great merit is in front of him, which general is willing to give up?

Knowing that the generals are all coming for great success, if they forcibly arrange someone to go back, I am afraid that there will be many complaints, although with Zhang Chao's current identity, he is not afraid of these subsections, but he does not want to be accused of anything behind him, and the most important thing is that if the general who goes back to support is not his willing, who knows what kind of incident will happen?

The more he is in a high position, the more Zhang Chao feels that he has a great responsibility. Especially these generals under him, all of them are very brave, and because of this, they are all above the top and have no one in their eyes. And trying to control these people is a very high art.

After Zhang Chao finished speaking, his eyes looked at the generals, and these generals really began to dodge a little under this gaze.

If you don't fight for it, you really have to give up, and I'm afraid that no one will be willing to do it.

"What? No one wants to go back to deal with Cao Cao? Are you scared? Zhang Chao waited for a while, but he didn't see any generals standing up, and even he deliberately signaled his original head of guard, Dian Wei, the commander of the Sixth Army at the time, with his eyes, but this kid actually raised his head high, as if there was a beautiful painting on the ceiling, but he didn't respond in any way.

All this made Zhang Chao a little angry, these generals have some martial arts, but in the end they still lack some of the overall situation.

Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Legion, was a little hesitant, but Gao Gan, the deputy corps commander standing beside him, deliberately reached out and pulled his arm sleeve, which meant self-evident.

When dealing with Zhuge Liang before, Xu Rong, the commander of the Sixth Army Corps, died in battle, and as the Fourth Army Corps that went out together, he also had a lot of joint and several responsibility. Now is the time to make meritorious service and wash away everything, and if you give up such an opportunity to make meritorious service at this moment, you don't know when you will have to wait for the next time.

Gao Gan was worried that Zhang Heyi would be impulsive and would take the initiative to stand up and take on something, so he made a small move. And this small action also made Zhang He unable to take that step because of this. Although he wanted to share something for Zhang Chao, as a corps commander, he should consider the heart of the entire legion.

Neither the Fourth Legion nor the Sixth Legion made any indications. Wen Chou, the deputy commander of the First Legion, was not in a hurry.

The First Legion is the Legion directly under Zhang Chao, if the Lord is really determined to let the First Legion support, then there is no need to ask the other generals what they mean, he is the Legion Commander, can he call the shots? Zhang Chao didn't say it, but it had already been proved that he had no intention of letting the First Army stand up and take on this task.
