Zhang He heard the words of the scout, and did not dare to slack off, and immediately led the remnants of the daughter to go straight to the Cao army in front. When Zhang He arrived at the Cao army, he saw that the Cao army was already camping, and after Zhang He led the remnants into the camp, he went to the big tent alone.

As soon as he entered the big tent, he saw Guo Jia sitting on the main seat with a tired face, and Zang Ba, Sun Li, Sun Guan and other generals next to him were impressively listed.

Zhang He bowed to Guo Jia and said: "Guo Saijiu, the last general is incompetent, resulting in a fiasco of the vanguard army, almost annihilating the whole army, please punish Guo Saijiu!" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he didn't show a surprised look, but just said lightly "um" and said, "Fake righteousness and explain the beginning and end of the war in detail." ”

When Zhang He heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Guo Jia's old god there, he knew that Guo Jia already knew about his defeat, so he told him about the battle before and after, and at the end he added his own analysis, saying: "Zhang Xiu's army is large, all of them are cavalry, and the impact is extremely strong, especially the black-armored cavalry, which is invulnerable, and it is used to charge our army and cannot resist the enemy at all." I think that if you want to defeat Zhang Xiu, it is not feasible to rely on ordinary steps alone, and you must curb the degree of Zhang Xiu's cavalry. ”

Guo Jia listened, nodded, looked back at Zang Ba, who had a bit of a gangster on his face and a solemn expression, and said: "Xuan Gao, Jia didn't say aluminum, if there is no hypocrisy to resist, I am afraid that Zhang Xiu's army has already arrived in Chen Liucheng." ”

Zang Ba heard this, nodded his head, walked to Zhang Hezhi's alfalfa, bowed seriously, and said: "Ba once questioned the general's ability, please don't blame the general." ”

Seeing this, Zhang He looked at Guo Jia suspiciously. I saw Guo Jia smile slightly and said: "Fake Yi has lost several games in a row, but you know that many generals under the lord are extremely dissatisfied with you." Zhang He heard it and arched his hand: "Hehe is a lesson for the defeated army, and it is entrusted by the lord!" Guo Jia smiled slightly and asked, "Do you know why the $$ army lost several games in a row?" ”

Zhang He thought about it and knew that he was anxious to make meritorious contributions, and he misheard Guo Gu's words to cause a series of defeats, so he said with a guilty face: "Gai is in a hurry for quick success, so he has lost in a row." ”

Guo Jia listened, nodded, and said, "Knowing mistakes can be beautiful, and being good is great." False. It is indeed rare for Yi to admit that he made a mistake in hunting. It's just a hypothetical sentence, if he hadn't been ambushed by Zhang Liao, with an army of 50,000 alone, might he have blocked Zhang Xiu's edge? ”

After listening to this, Zhang He lowered his head and thought about it, and finally shook his head and said: "Zhang Xiu's army is far stronger than the Hesuo Department, not to mention 50,000 troops, even if it is 100,000, I'm afraid it can't be stopped, the gap between the two sides is too much." It's just that if there are 50,000 troops, he can always let Zhang Xiu lose some soldiers. ”

Guo Jia heard this, nodded and asked again: "If you pretend to be the commander, with the current situation of our army, how should we fight against Zhang Xiu's army?" ”

Zhang He thought about the entire battle situation and said: "Although the army was defeated, the loss was not a pain in the bones for our army. If you are handsome, you should stick to it first, build a machine that can break the embroidered cavalry, and then fight with it. Or wait for the lord's army to break through Xiangcheng, if Xiangcheng is broken, and Zhang Xiu's defense line is not strong, our army will have fighters. Therefore, what our army wants to do now is to hold back Zhang Xiu's main force and wait for the rest of the news, Zhang Xiu is going to attack urgently, and our army should defend it with ease. ”

Guo Jia heard this, high-fived and laughed, and next to him, I Ba, Sun Li, Sun Guan, and Mu Yuanjin looked at Zhang He's eyes with admiration.

Just when Zhang He was puzzled, Guo Jia stepped down from the main seat and took out an edict from his sleeve: "Your Majesty has a will, (8 General Zhang He, proficient in the art of war, can fight well. Now he is crowned as the general of the east of the country, supervising the 150,000 troops of Yanzhou to fight against the thief Zhang Xiu, hoping to be cautious and war, and do not live up to my hopes! ”

After Zhang He heard this, he was obviously stunned, he could still be promoted after losing the battle, and Zhang He was naturally blindsided. Over there, Guo Jia winked at Zhang He and said with a smile: "General Zhendong, don't live up to the expectations of Your Majesty and Cheng towards you!" ”

When Zhang Yiyi listened, he naturally knew that it was Cao Cao's trust in him that would be sealed, and he was inexplicably moved in his heart, Han Fu and Yuan Shao had never treated him like this at all. The so-called soldier is the death of a confidant, Cao Cao is so gracious, Zhang He, a battlefield iron man, was also moved to tears, only to see Zhang He take a deep breath, and said in a condensed voice: "He will live up to the hopes of His Majesty and the Prime Minister!" The word prime minister in the words bit very hard.

Guo Jiahui smiled, handed the talisman to Zhang He, and whispered: "False righteousness, Fang Caijia tried his words, don't be surprised." Then he said loudly: "Now the army is all obeying the orders of General Dong!" ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, a group of noisy camp generals next to him stood up and arched their hands together: "We all obey General Zhendong's orders!" ”

Zhang He nodded heavily, and first said to Guo Jia: "He is stupid, and I also ask Guo Saijiu to give advice to He." Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Jia Zi should do his best!" ”

Zhang He nodded, turned around and bowed back to the generals, and said: "Thank you for your support, we will work together to break Zhang embroidery!" After speaking, Zhang He walked to the main seat, turned around and sat down, waved his hands, and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."

Seeing that Feng Guo Jia walked to the first position, Zhang He asked first: "Guo Saijiu, this general has just arrived here, why don't you tell the general about the situation of our army first." ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Fortunately, General Lai sent troops in time to block the road of Zhang Xiu's army into Yanzhou, buy time for our army, and let my general lead the troops out in time." Now there are 100,000 Qingxu troops here, including 30,000 troops under General Zang Taishan, all of whom are elite foot soldiers; There were 40,000 elites in Danyang, 25,000 umbrellas in Qingzhou, and finally the lord asked Jia to bring 5,000 halberds. ”

Zhang He heard what Guo Jia said in front of him, but he just nodded, but when he heard the three words of Euphorbia, he suddenly raised his head and asked loudly: "Euphorbia is not over?" ”

Guo Jia listened, smiled and nodded.

"Bang 111111" I saw Zhang He slap the table heavily, and said with great joy: "With the Euphorbia here, Zhang Xiu's cavalry can be contained!" ”

Why did you say why Zhang He was so excited to hear the Euphorbia, but there was a past in it. Everyone in the world knows that Yuan Shaojieqiao's white horse righteousness is the first to die in Gongsun Zhan. However, Yuan Shao actually has an elite army under him, which is the Euphorbia mentioned earlier. At the beginning, the elite troops under Yuan Shao were trained by Zhang He, and as for the overseer of this halberd, it was frustrated.

After he voted for Cao Cao, he suggested that Cao Cao let Zhang He retrain the Euphorbia, but Cao Cao happened to be an elite route, and it was not enough to rely on a few troops such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Guard. Now that he heard the words of Frustration, it was exactly what Cao Cao thought, so Cao Cao asked Zhang He and Frustration to train five thousand halberds together.

However, although this euphorbia was trained by Zhang He, Cao Cao was relatively strict with the control of elite troops, so when the euphorbia was trained, Cao Cao did not let Zhang He lead it, but let Dian Wei lead it. However, at this time, the war was tense, and at Guo Jia's suggestion, Cao Cao asked him to bring the elite of the Euphorbia to Chen to resist Zhang Xiu. Zhang He settled down and asked Guo Jiadao: "Guo sacrifice!" 8 Is there a clever way to break the enemy? ”

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "General, although there are euphorbia warriors here now, there are only 5,000 euphorbia warriors, which cannot be compared with Zhang Xiu's army. Although General Zang's Taishan army is elite, it is more suitable for mountain warfare, and the cavalry is still king on the plain, as for the Danyang army and the Qingzhou soldiers, they have no advantage over the Zhang Xiu cavalry. Therefore, Jia thought that at this time, he should stick to it first, and wait for Chen Liu's side to transport the equipment of the cavalry to break Zhang Xiu in one fell swoop! ”

Zhang He heard this, raised his eyebrows, and asked in a condensed voice: "The equipment that specializes in destroying cavalry?" Could it be a crossbow? Guo Jia heard this, nodded and smiled: "Yes! ”

Zhang He nodded and said to himself, "I see! Then Zhang He shouted: "The generals will listen to the order, Zang Ba, Sun Li, and Han Meng, and order the three of you to set up camp and defend the department, and dig a horse pit outside the camp, and set up many traps, there must be no mistake!" Zang Zhi heard it and responded in unison: "Promise ......"

Guo Jia next to him listened to Zhang He's order, but nodded secretly, to slow down the urgency, to defend the attack, Zhang He's arrangement was good. And if Zhang Xiu's army comes, he can also use some harassment tactics to attack him first, so as to wait for Chen Liu's sharp weapons to arrive.

On the other side, Zhang Xiu's army went out early in the morning, and hurriedly went to Chenliu, and after walking for a long time, a scout came to Zhang Xiu and reported: "There are a large number of Cao troops in front, with no less than tens of thousands, and a large camp has been set up. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, frowned, and whispered: "It's coming so fast!" Then he asked Jia Xu next to him: "What does Wen He think?" ”

Jia Xu also frowned, and said: "Our army doesn't know much, and the lord will send a large number of scouts out to investigate, since the Cao army is here to block our army's way, the lord will also set up a village first, and wait for the news before taking countermeasures." ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded and said, "What Wen He said is reasonable. Wang Shuang, Pang Zhen, and you urge the army to go down! ”

An hour later, in Zhang Xiu's camp tent, Wang Shuang and Pang Zhen came to hand over orders to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu waved his hand to let the two retreat aside, and then asked the scout captain in the tent: "Can you find out the news of Cao Jun's camp?" ”

I heard the scout captain reply: "Back to the general, the enemy has laid a large number of traps outside the camp, and a few of our brothers have accidentally fallen into it and folded there." Moreover, the enemy's large camp is solidly arranged, and there are not many soldiers patrolling back and forth in it, and there are many secret sentry posts outside the camp......" After Zhang Xiu heard this, he waved off the scouts and said to Jia Xu: "In this way, the Cao army is only afraid that he wants to defend to the death."

After listening to this, Jia Xu lowered his head and pondered, Zhang Xiu didn't dare to disturb, and after a long time, Jia Xu raised his head and said, "It's not unreasonable for Cao Jun to stick to it. Now our army is just taking advantage of Wenyuan's great victory to attack, and it is mainly anti-guest. This is only one way of the army, and the Cao Liu coalition army has many roads, the Cao army is stuck here, it only needs to break the tiger prison, Bishui and Xiangcheng one of them, our army's defense line is not complete, and if the lord's army does not make a breakthrough, it will have to retreat. ”

When Ma heard this, he immediately shouted: "Where is there so much nonsense, the lord gives a large army, and when a certain leader rushes over, he will directly break his camp!" ”

Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er heard it, but nodded in agreement, and Zhou Cang said loudly: "Lord, those Cao soldiers can't stop us Pangulis!" ”

Ma Teng heard Ma's triumphant appearance, but he shouted: "Meng Qi! The horse listened, but Nono didn't dare to speak.

Zhang Xiu waved his hand to let everyone calm down, and then asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe, what do you think our army should do?" Jia Xu pondered for a while7-, and said: "Since we have insight into Cao Jun's strategy, our army must not entangle with him here. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, touched his chin, and said: "The Cao army has laid a heavy army here, if our army goes around, it is easy to show flaws. After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Since Cao Jun wants to drag our army here, the general will follow what they think." Hua Xiong heard this, and said hurriedly: "Lord, ...... do this"

At this time, Jia Xu smiled and made a calm gesture to Hua Xiong, and then said, "The lord must have already taken care of it. ”

Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "I know that I can't hide it from Wenhe." Then he said: "Cao's army is all soldiers, and our army is all cavalry. In addition, our army has a naval army to transport grain from the Yellow River, so that the grain route is worry-free. Ben will leave 40,000 troops here, and the remaining 25,000 soldiers and horses will be reduced to zero, with 1,000 people per team, divided into 25 teams, infiltrating Yanzhou to invade, breaking Cao's army's grain road, and then attacking the small city he has not defended, breaking the granary! Ben will see how he Cao Jun defends! Even if Yanzhou can be held, our army will attack Qingzhou, and now the Yellow River is based on our army, and we are not afraid of supply difficulties, and the general will see whether his Cao army will not move! In the end, Zhang Xiu's eyes burst with light! When everyone heard this, they clapped their hands in unison and praised: "The lord has a good plan!" ”

Jia Xu also nodded and praised: "In this way, our army can once again turn against the guest!" Now it is our army attacking, Cao army defending, and Cao army wants to defend our army's urgent and peaceful attack with ease. However, the lord's strategy is used, Cao's army must be in a hurry, its defensive position is broken in an instant, and it can only turn defense into attack, while the lord can turn to defense and take the initiative to be occupied by our army again! Brilliant indeed! ”

Zhang Xiu heard that even Jia Xu praised it, and her heart was naturally happy. The use of cavalry is not only to charge frontally, but also to harass behind enemy lines is also an important means of cavalry warfare. Especially in the current situation, there are not many risks in Yanzhou, just look at the time when Lu Bu entered Yanzhou, Cao Cao only had three cities left.

And now Zhang Xiu's grain and grass are supplied by the navy, and he is not afraid that the grain road will be cut off, and he will send cavalry into Yanzhou to invade him.

I only heard Zhang Xiu shouting loudly: "Ma Teng, Pang Zhen, Wang Shuang, order the three of you to be responsible for a region and lead the troops to invade Yanzhou!" ”

The three of them heard it and responded in unison: "Promise ......"

After the three of them went out, Zhang Xiu looked at the horse again, in this case, its practical horse is the best, but Zhang Xiu was afraid that the horse would rise up and would mess around, so he didn't use him. However, with the ability of the three of them, it is enough to deal with it.
