Chapter 478 The king's heart is unpredictable

never thought that Cao Cao was so cunning, he was the master who didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, and he had to see that he had hit Zhang Chao hard before he was willing to send troops. But didn't he know that in the face of three fully formed legions, and two legions with the main force, a total of nearly 600,000 troops, it was not so easy to inflict heavy losses?

It's just that then again, if Cao Cao is facing Zhang Chao's main force now, I'm afraid that when he is waiting for the other party to ask for help, Zhuge Liang will reply like this. After all, as a prince, the so-called alliance is fake, but each takes a means he needs.

Now that Cao Cao has spoken, if he wants to get this support army, Zhuge Liang can only hit Zhang Chao as hard as possible. Before that, it is even more important to improve your own morale. In this way, in front of the two generals, Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiu, he naturally couldn't tell the truth and was doing something to attack.

In front of the two generals, after saying that Cao Cao was willing to send troops, sure enough, General Zhang Xiu, who was nervous, also relaxed a lot. "Okay, as long as Cao Cao sends troops, with the 100,000 horses of the king's side, we are not weaker than the other party in terms of troops."

"Hehe, it's not weaker than anything. Even if we can kill Xu Rong, we can also kill Zhang Rong and Li Rong, right? After Zhang Fei heard this, he still smiled. Obviously, the artist is bold, but he can think about it.

Seeing that the morale of the two generals really rose, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when he thought of facing Zhang Chao's main force in his heart, he couldn't help but hang up.

In history, Zhuge Liang had such an experience, at that time, he only had 30,000 soldiers and horses with Liu Bei, and he really had to face Cao Cao's 800,000 army. The situation was also very critical, and later he fought against the Confucianism and persuaded Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, so that he won the victory by relying on the Battle of Chibi, so that there was a later three-legged power.

never thought that Zhang Chao suddenly rose, but such a thing still happened. It's just that the target person has changed to himself.

And this time, can Zhuge Liang still defeat the strong with the weak and win more with less? I'm afraid that he doesn't even have confidence in his own heart.

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

In the hall of the Zheng County Mansion.

General Zhang Chao was sitting high above at the moment, and below, the heads of each legion were standing in turn.

This is the first military meeting held after Zhang went beyond Tongguan and came to Zheng County, and the commanders, deputy legions and military divisions of each legion are all present, standing below waiting for the lord to issue an order.

Sitting on the top of the throne, looking down with blazing eyes, Zhang Chao at this time not only had a sense of relief and pride.

Let's take a look at the lineup below.

The generals have Wen Chou, the deputy commander of the First Legion, Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Legion, Gao Gan, the deputy commander of the Sixth Legion, Dian Wei, the deputy commander of the Sixth Legion, Yan Liang, the deputy commander of the Seventh Legion, Zhang Liao, the deputy commander of the Seventh Legion, Lu Bu, the commander of the Pioneer Legion, and Hou Cheng, the deputy commander of the Pioneer Legion.

Wenchen has, the Fourth Army Corps Division, the Sixth Army Corps Li Ru, and the Vanguard Legion Division Pang Tong.

These people are almost one-half of the civil and military ministers in the entire Zhang Chao group. And they are all their own subordinates, and they are all very loyal, with this army, isn't the country at your fingertips?

While being proud in his heart, Zhang Chao did not have the slightest carelessness. Xu Rong had just died in battle, and this lesson from the past was in front of him, if he had a contempt in his heart, he might not be hit hard. This time he faced Zhuge Liang, who was known as the first wise man in the Three Kingdoms, and he really didn't dare to have the slightest arrogance.

's own calmness makes Zhang Chao invincible. And how to achieve the greatest victory at the least cost was the main reason why he summoned these important ministers here.

"Now that we're all here, let's ask Mr. Fu to analyze the situation in front of us." As he spoke, Zhang Chao made a gesture of his eyes to Fu Zhi.

Before the meeting, he was given an order to introduce the layout of the battlefield. Naturally, he was prepared, and immediately nodded and agreed to step out, and then said outside: "Come on, go to the sand table." ”

Immediately, an iron guard walked in and began to place a huge sand table neatly, and after a while, a clear three-dimensional topographic map many times stronger than the map appeared in front of everyone in front of everyone.

With this sand table, I also had a small silver stick in his hand, and he immediately stepped forward and pointed to the topographic map and said: "Everyone, please see, now our location is in Zheng County, and before Zheng County is Xinfeng City, where there are 100,000 horses led by General Wang Fang, Dong Zhuo's subordinate; After Xinfeng City is Yin City, where there are 200,000 horses of Liu Bei's army. At the same time, Dong Zhuo's army was also stationed there in Gaolu City, north of Xinfeng City, because the city was blocked, and the specific strength was unknown. ”

After briefly explaining the situation, Fu Zhi took a step back, and at the same time placed the silver stick in his hand next to the sand table.

The other generals began to talk about it, and it was clear that they had known most of the things before, but now they were more certain. It's just that they know it's useless, the key is to see how the lord makes a decision.

Frustrated and retreated, the other generals were all talking, Zhang Chao really had no intention of stopping it, this is his usual style of acting.

Zhang Chao knows that the power of the group is powerful, so he has never stopped everyone from discussing the military situation, the key is to have a clear decision in the end, and everyone must act in unison for the goal, which is enough.

Let the people below talk about it, about a quarter of an hour passed, and after seeing that the discussion below was getting quieter, Zhang Chao coughed lightly, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

Very satisfied with everyone's cooperation at this moment, Zhang Chao nodded lightly and said: "Okay, everyone knows the situation, what to do next, please express your opinions." ”

As soon as it came to how to fight the battle, the generals immediately closed their mouths, and instead looked at the three military advisors, Fu Zhu, Li Ru and Pang Tong.

Each performs its own duties, and this matter of advice is naturally handed over to the military advisors to do.

Feeling everyone's gaze, after the three of them glanced at each other, the eldest frustrated teacher took a small step forward and took the initiative to stand up.

Li Ru has been punished, and now he is only acting as a military advisor, so it is naturally not easy for him to stand up and speak at this moment.

Pang Tong had just arrived in Zheng County, so he didn't know the most about the situation here, and he was the youngest, so he naturally had no intention of coming out.

In desperation, he had to stand up. Fortunately, he had been prepared before, and after this one stood up, he immediately said loudly: "Lord, I think so. ”

"Point it out." Zhang Chao nodded to Fu Zhi and said cuely.

"No." agreed, and then took the silver and white stick in his hand again, and then pointed to the sand table in front of him and said: "To the east of Zheng County is Xinfeng City, where there are now 100,000 soldiers and horses led by Dong Zhuojun and Wang Fang. Although it is said that the strength is good, with our existing combat strength, we can completely attack hard, and the strength of this army is very average, and I think it will definitely not be able to hold it. As long as we capture Xinfeng City, we can divide our troops into two routes, one way to continue to advance towards Yin City, attracting the main force of the other party, and the other road can go north to Gaolu, and then cross Chiyang, or we can attack Chang'an, or we can also detour to Yin City to block the retreat of Liu and Dong's army. As long as Chang'an City is taken, most of Yongzheng is at your fingertips. ”

Frustrated and eloquently spoke. After all the speeches were finished, he bowed respectfully to Zhang Chao and retreated.

"Well, why does this routine seem familiar?"

"Why, you haven't seen it yet, this is how the Fourth Legion and the Sixth Legion fought when they were there."

After listening to the frustration of the generals, there was another burst of discussion.

To say that this is indeed the method that Fu Zhu discussed with Li Ru before. It's just unfortunate that Yan Liang was besieged in Chiyang City, which led to problems with the plan. But in any case, there is nothing wrong with the plan.

Now that the frustration has been mentioned again, it is no wonder that the generals have discussed one after another, which is a helpless thing. The armies of the three parties are guarded between these cities, and the strength is all there, and in a face-to-face situation, the so-called strategy is difficult to work.

There is a saying that in the face of great strength, any conspiracy and trickery are vulnerable.

For example, a four-year-old child, even if he is a little clever, but he has to face an adult man in his twenties, and it is impossible to defeat him.

The so-called strategy will only work wonders when everyone has equal forces, or when the terrain is complex, opportunities, etc. And now, everyone has made it clear that the carriage and horses are thinking of any conspiracy, and it is as difficult as the sky.

As a result, Fu Zhu and Li Ru also couldn't think of any good way in the face of such a situation, so it was better to continue the previous plan. At least, there is nothing wrong with that plan, what is wrong is that Zhuge Liang prepared too thoroughly, so he suffered a loss.

The generals discussed the plan for a while, and then they were silent again. I'm afraid that they also know that even if the lord is here, then how to fight next depends on Zhang Chao's intentions.

The hall was quiet again, and under this quiet, the expressions of several military advisors were also slightly solemn. According to normal reasoning, after the frustration is finished, Zhang Chao should have made some moves, even if he disagrees, he has to speak.

But now, Zhang Chao is sitting there with an old god, which makes the three military advisors have no confidence in their hearts.

Since ancient times, the heart of a king is the hardest to guess. And many times, once you say the wrong thing, it is likely to lead to death.
