Guo Huai, outside of the Chu State, has the greatest reputation for winning the second place in the military science in the first imperial examination, second only to Fa Zheng, who participated in the imperial examination in the same year.

However, there is obviously an essential gap between the second and the first, especially Fa Zheng's advice in the western expedition of the Chu State, which has made it famous.

For this reason, Liu Zhang not only made a big fuss, but even implicated Zhang Song, which made Liu Zhang feel that this roe deer rat was very suspicious, and Zhang Song was so angry that Zhang Song was sick for a few days, and later under the persuasion of Huang Quan, Zheng Du and others, Liu Zhang personally went to visit Zhang Song in the house, and Zhang Song took office again.

Compared with Fazheng, Guo Huai is still mediocre......

In the state of Chu, the second military department and the second military department in the first imperial examination are dazzling enough, and Guo Huai is also appreciated by many high-level generals in the Privy Council, especially the generals of the Bingzhou system led by Lu Bu - after all, Guo Huai is also from the state.

However, outside of Chu State, everyone's attention to the "second" is obviously insufficient, if it weren't for knowing that it was Guo Huai who was in charge of Badong, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan would not have cared about such a number one person at all.

After all, in the state of Chu, there are too many people who deserve more attention than Guo Huai......

After learning about Guo Huai's arrangement in Padang County, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan disagreed, only treating him as young and vigorous and talking on paper.

But there is one point, Zhang Ren must have been wrong......

From the very beginning, Zhao Yun had no idea of assigning tasks to Guo Huai!

Because Zhao Yun believes that Guo Huai can rest assured that he can trust his back - you must know that when the first division of Wancheng retreated and did not leave, the military and political affairs of Badong County were actually handled by Guo Huai.

It's just that people may not even have an impression of the second place, and naturally they won't remember that Guo Huai has won "A" in addition to the second place in the military department, and also won the "A" in the civil science and household department.

Guo Huai in history, who is also a capable minister who governs the military and government of a place, has been in Guanzhong for more than 20 years, and the army and the people have been subdued, blocking the Northern Expedition of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei several times......

Although there is a lack of victory enough to "become a god", there has been no major mistake for more than 20 years.

In the middle of the Wei State, when the Sima clan began to embark on the road of power and ministers, the foundation was Guanzhong - in order to guard against Shu, the Wei State had long been the governor of Guanzhong with Sima Yi, and as a result, several Wei emperors were short-lived, making Sima Yi bigger in Guanzhong.

And Guo Huaijiu is in Guanzhong, although he is Wei Chen, but he is also Sima Yi's "little brother".

However, Guo Huai is different from the always ruthless Sima Shi, who is still very affectionate.

In history, Sima Shi poisoned his wife from the Xiahou clan because of his grievances with the Cao family and the Xiahou family, so he was criticized by others.

And Guo Huai's wife was born in the Wang family, Wang Yun's Wang family...... After the change of Gaopingling, Wang Ling was dissatisfied with Sima Yi's monopoly on government affairs, and raised troops to serve the king, but he was not punished by the three clans......

According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, married daughters are still counted in the mother's family, so Guo Huai's wife is also among them.

However, Guo Huai wrote to Sima Yi, saying that if the five sons did not have a mother, they would not be able to live alone, and without the five sons, I, Guo Huai, would be like dead......

After Sima Yi received the letter, he pardoned Guo Huai's wife, which can also be seen that Sima Yi took a fancy to Guo Huai - Guo Huai had been operating in Guanzhong for 20 years at that time, and Sima Yi was still only a "powerful minister", and Sima Yi had to take a fancy to it.

At this time, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan only regarded Guo Huai as a young and vigorous young general, and after learning that he was deployed in Tong County, Zhang Ren led the vanguard to take the first step.

"Old General Yan, don't compete with our young people! Hahaha......"

Zhang Ren said so, but Yan Yan understood that he didn't want his flaws of "being good at defending and not attacking well" to be too exposed.

"Then there will be justice in Lao."

……

On the way to lead the army to Tongxian County, Zhang Ren also got several reports, all of which said that the Chu army was "abnormal", but the scout didn't say too clearly what the specific "different" method was, just said ...... Seems to be digging on a large scale?

Zhang Ren didn't understand it either-could it be that at this time, he was still digging traps? This young general of Chu State is too thoughtful, right?

After getting really close to the defense line of the Chu army, Zhang Ren found that the Chu army did not know for what purpose, and dug a deep ditch half a person high in the plain area, and then the excavated sand and soil were also built in front of the ditch.

Vaguely visible, the defenders of the state of Chu ...... He hid in a ditch and hid behind an earthen wall.

"General, is it ...... Does the Chu army want to use this earthen wall to block us? The lieutenant asked suspiciously.

"Whimsical! Ali, what do you want to do Guo Huai! Zhang Ren said with a cold face.

If you really expect the earthen wall to be able to block the enemy, it is indeed whimsical, after all, at this height, even if the war horse "trained" by the Dian horse is not capable of sprinting and exploding, it can completely jump over, not to mention, even if it is an ordinary infantry, it is just a matter of holding on.

What advantage does the defender have when he hides behind?

However, soon Zhang Ren will know that he has completely thought about it......

"General Xie!" Zhang Zhang said excitedly.

I saw that in front of the two armies, a gilded general walked out from the side of the Shu army and entered within a hundred steps, and someone on the side of Chu couldn't help but ask Guo Huai: "Division commander!" Is it open? —that is, the equivalent of the musket "to fire".

Guo Huai shook his head and said, "We are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, let's see what he says first, and then shoot him!" ”

"Chu thief, listen! I am the vanguard under the command of the former general of the Marquis of Shu, can the rats dare to come forward to fight? Wait for me to capture you before the battle, so as not to hurt the people of Ba County more! Zhang Li called the formation.

Zhang Li specially mentioned the people of Ba County, hoping to arouse the hatred of the Badong people against the Chu people, but it is a pity...... Nothing worked.

As for whether you can win...... Although I have never seen Guo Huai make a move, it is certain that there is no such person among the Jinyu generals of Chu State.

As long as it is still gilded, Zhang Zhang dares to fight......

"Heh, the confrontation between the two armies, is it a place for individuals to be reckless? Isn't Nishikawa such a brave and ruthless martial artist? What a disappointment! After Guo Huai had armor, he specially jumped out of the bunker earthen wall and said, and jumped back again after speaking.

Zhang Zhang and Zhang Ren in the back, when they heard the words, they all jumped with the word "well" on their heads.

It is true that calling the battle at this time seems to be a little brave and unscrupulous, but ...... Isn't this because you guess that you Guo Huai is this kind of person, so you call the formation like this?

How did you expect that this Guo Huai was very reckless strategically, and on the battlefield, he actually won a batch?

"Flag it...... Edge! Zhang Ren said with a calm face.

Looking at the strange earthen walls and ravines in front of him, Zhang Ren could probably guess that the Chu State must want to fight a war of attrition with long-range attacks, but Zhang Ren was not worried.

Even if Chu State's bow and crossbow are its strength, it will definitely not be able to shoot under the cover of such a knee-high earthen wall, after all, if you can't stop the charge, how many times can you shoot along the way?
