"My lord, Li Tong of Yangcheng is just a cousin of Dong Zhuo's concubine, and he hasn't been through any major battles at all, such a person is not worried, and he is willing to start a siege battle with the Second Corps and solve the problem within three days." Huang Zhong saw that Zhang Chao had decided to do so, so he took the initiative to stand up and ask for battle.

"Lord, Zhiyang's problem is handed over to Bulai, and it will only take two days to solve the problem." The vanguard corps leader Lu Bu also stepped forward after Huang Zhong, and the time he gave was even one day earlier.

"Lord, the matter is handed over to our Sixth Legion, and it will only take a day and a half to solve it." Who would have thought that Lu Bu was arrogant, and there were people who were even more arrogant than him, and it was Dian Wei, the commander of the Sixth Army Corps, who stood up. And when he said the date of a day and a half, he also straightened his body, and looked at Lu Bu and Huang Zhong out of the corner of his eye.

"We can also capture Zhiyang City in a day and a half." Lu Bu and Huang Zhong felt this provocation, and said with angry faces.

Pound, who participated in the discussion of the Zhang Super Tent for the first time, watched this scene with some "horror".

In his life, he doesn't know how many times he has participated in Ma Teng's account deliberations. But there has never been a time like now, when the generals are vying to be the vanguard, how can it be that in the eyes of these people, it seems that Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are like mud?

That's an army of 50,000. Even if it is 50,000 pigs, it is not easy to drive them away in a day and a half.

Pound would be surprised, but not for nothing. It is also true to say that the Xiliang army is powerful, but in comparison, Zhang Chao's army, which has long had enough experience in siege warfare, and a small Zhiyang city guarded by 50,000 people, is really not in the eyes of the generals.

I want to think of Chang'an City, but it is one of the ancient capitals, the city wall is high, and the strength is not known how many times stronger than Zhiyang. And Zhuge Liang personally guarded and brought 200,000 troops, but wasn't it broken? Not to mention Zhiyang City, Dong Zhuojun is still guarding the town.

In the eyes of others, Dong Zhuojun, who is very powerful, is almost synonymous with vulnerability in the eyes of Zhang Chao and other army commanders. At least so far, they haven't touched any hard bones.

The three legion commanders stood up one by one, and no one was far behind. was so anxious that Wen Chou, the deputy commander of the First Legion, also set his eyes on Zhang Chao several times, he was only the deputy commander of the Legion, and it was still not his turn to ask for a battle like this.

Fortunately, in the face of Wen Chou's gaze, Zhang Chao finally responded. "Well, General Wen also seems to have something to say, do you want to ask for a war too?"

"Yes, the First Legion is also willing to take Zhiyang City as a vanguard." Seeing Zhang Chao asking, Wen Chou hurriedly replied.

"Good. Then I wonder if General Wen can capture Zhiyang City in one day? If you can, the task is yours, and if you can't, then don't say anything. Zhang Chao, who was sitting at the top of the table, said with a smile.

"One day?"

As soon as Zhang Chao said this, Wen Chou was stunned.

To be honest, he is still very confident in capturing Zhiyang City, but if it is only one day, then he really doesn't dare to make this guarantee right away. It's just that if he can't capture the city in one day, it will be the same as other generals, so why should he be taught to do this task?

Wen Chou was stunned for a moment, and then after he noticed Zhang Chao's smiling face, he immediately said ruthlessly: "Lord, ugliness can do it." ”

"Okay, then ask General Wen to make a military order, if you can't capture Zhiyang City in one day, military law will be conducted, can you dare?" Seeing that Wen Chou really agreed, Zhang Chao asked again.

"Ugly, then make a military order." At this moment, Wen Chou was like being roasted on the stove, and there was no way out at this time. All he could do was to agree to it, at least if he could complete this task, he believed that as the real commander of the First Legion, Zhang Chao should still help him.

Wen Chou agreed to the request to capture Zhiyang City one day, and at the same time was willing to make a military order. For a while, the other three legion commanders were not talking about something. They thought they didn't have the ability, but the same thing happened to a legion, and they didn't think it was impossible.

That's a legion trained by Zhang Chao himself, I heard that a strong attack is both offensive and defensive, and the disadvantage is a long-distance attack, so they should be able to complete a task like attacking Zhiyang City.

The meeting ended with a petition for war. Afterwards, all the generals left, and Zhang Chao left the deputy commander.

In fact, there is no need for Zhang Chao to speak, Wen Chou also wants to stay, after all, he doesn't know how much he can capture Zhiyang City in one day.

"General Wen, tomorrow I will ask Zhang Jiajun to cooperate with you and suppress Dong Zhuo's army defending the city as much as possible, and you can go back and arrange it." Zhang Chao looked at Wen Chou who stayed behind, and said with a smile.

"Ahh

Wen Chou was a little speechless, just let Zhang Jiajun cooperate with him and it would be over? Isn't there a better way or weapon? But with the help of archers, it would not be so easy to capture the city in one day.

Seeing that after he spoke, Wen Chou did not leave immediately, and Zhang Chao immediately asked, "Huh?" General Wen still has something to do? ”

"This... Lord, is it only Zhang Jiajun who will assist us? Wen Chou hesitated and finally asked out loud.

"What? Isn't that enough? Then if I have to arrange everything, why do you need to ask for war? You know, it's you who made the military order, it's not me. Okay, you go and prepare. Tell you, everyone has seen it today, if you can't capture Zhiyang City within one day tomorrow, then don't blame the ruthless military law. As he spoke, Zhang Chao's face became much more serious.

Seeing that Zhang Chao was a little angry, Wen Chou immediately didn't dare to say anything, and retreated with his fists clenched.

After getting out of the big tent, Wen Chou's face was a little unpleasant, and he couldn't understand why Zhang Chao had encouraged him to compete for his merits before, but why he seemed to be suddenly ignoring it now. Could it be that some of the things he did as the deputy commander of the regiment were not in line with the lord's wishes, and he wanted to replace him?

But it shouldn't be. If you just want to remove yourself, then with Zhang Chao's authority, there is no need to do anything more.

Wen Chou, who couldn't figure it out, shook his head and took his soldiers to his tent.

When Wen Chou rode back to his barracks, there were already soldiers waiting here, and as soon as he saw him appear, he knelt down on the ground and said: "General, General Zhang Rui has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Zhang Rui? The leader of the Zhang family's army, the general. As soon as he heard the name, Wen Chou immediately came to his senses and said, "I know, come right away." So he dismounted and went straight to the tent.

In the big tent, Zhang Rui, who was dressed in all-black armor, was sitting on a chair, and in front of him was a teacup for hospitality, but the tea was still full, and it could be seen that he had not moved his mouth to drink.

"Oh, I'm really sorry to keep General Zhang waiting for a long time, I'm sorry." Lifting the curtain of the tent, as soon as he saw Zhang Rui, Wen Chou said with laughter.

Although Zhang Rui does not command a lot of troops, and he is not the strongest in terms of personal combat strength, the identity of the leader and general of Zhang's army is indeed so that no one can underestimate him. Because everyone knows that this person is the descendant of the lord Zhang Chao's lineage.

At least when it comes to absolute loyalty, there is no legion in the entire group that can match the Zhang Jiajun. And to be able to become a general in Zhang's army, or even a small company commander with a hundred people, it needs to be personally appointed by Zhang Chao to be competent.

From this point of view alone, Zhang Chao's control of Zhang Jiajun is in an absolute authoritative position.

Seeing Wen Chou enter the account, Zhang Rui smiled and got up and hugged his fists and said: "General Wen, this will be waiting for the general here on the order of the lord, and at the same time, there are many things to coordinate with the general about the attack on Guiyang City tomorrow." ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Wen Chou also replied with his fists clenched, and then smiled and sat down on the main seat in the tent.

If he still didn't understand how to attack the city tomorrow along the way. Now that Zhang Rui has appeared here, he is determined in his heart. If it weren't for the perfect strategy, Zhang Rui would not have appeared here casually.

No one knew what Zhang Rui had talked about with Wen Chou, but only his pro-soldiers knew that after sending Zhang Rui away not long after, their General Wen was smiling, and he even snored when he slept at night, which was completely relaxed.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, the soldiers of the four legions were assembled.

Yesterday, Wen Chou made a military order, saying that Zhiyang City would be captured within a day, and the news had already spread in the military camp.

For Wen Chou to be so big, most people don't have any expectations. On the contrary, they also wanted to see if General Wen Chou made a fool of himself, whether the lord would really punish them.

Got up early in the morning, under the attention of everyone, the first army first had a hearty breakfast, and then began to gather troops unhurriedly and slowly drove towards Zhiyang City.

Many generals think that it is just a day's time. Wen Chou should seize every moment, but why did it take so much time to eat breakfast? Doesn't that make time even tighter?

Everyone was puzzled, that is, even Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei were all puzzled, and even had a trace of worry.

According to their understanding, although the time is tight, with the combat strength of a legion, if the onslaught is launched from the morning, as long as the attack is uninterrupted at night, the momentum is not reduced, and there is still a glimmer of possibility to capture Zhiyang City in one day. But if it's such a friction, it's not easy to say.
