Zhang Liao retreated with his soldiers, and only stopped to rest when he completely got rid of Zhao Yun's pursuit. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ШЩЩ.(7)(9)XS.сОМ. The army rested, and after some inventory, Zhang Liao found that the losses of the army were not serious.

This result was obtained by Yang Yuan after voluntarily breaking off.

Thinking of the Yang Yuan who stayed, Zhang Liao sighed in his heart.

As a veteran general on the battlefield, Zhang Liao knew the consequences of Yangyuan staying with his soldiers.

In the face of Zhao Yun's attack, Yang Yuan was dead.

Zhang Liao was sad in his heart, but he did not show any 'show', and did his best to stabilize the morale of the army and appease the emotions of the soldiers. The army rested for an hour, and Zhang Liao ordered to continue on the road.

The army marched and rushed to the Wei camp in Yingchuan County.

When Zhang Liao was on the road, in Yingchuan County.

The camp of the Wei army, in the tent.

Xun Yu sat in the Chinese army and laid out defense.

Because of Xun You's 'fine' secret arrangement, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan attacked several times, but they all ended in failure and failed to break through Xun You's defense. Whether it was a night attack or a frontal attack, Zhang Ren failed.

On the contrary, the situation on the battlefield has become a stalemate.

Xun You flipped through the battle reports and news sent recently, but didn't see the latest news about Zhang Liao.

In the dossier, only the news of the confrontation between Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun was recorded.

Follow-up message, not for the time being.

Somehow, Xun You always felt that something was wrong in his heart, because during this time, there was too little news about Zhang Liao.

Xun You's heart was a little worried about Zhang Liao.

In order to defeat Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren, Xun You and Zhang Liao set up a strategy, under the guise of attacking Zhang Ren and Wei Yan, who were escorted north, Zhang Liao led the main forces to concentrate on attacking Wanxian and Xinye County, intending to capture Xinye, and then defeat Zhao Yun in Wanxian.

As long as Zhang Liao wins on the front line, Zhang Liao can retreat again, and then join Xun Yu and flank Zhang Ren and Wei Yan.

Once the flanking attack is completed, the battle will be decided.

And the army that defeated Zhao Yun will affect the stability of Jingzhou in the south.

Further, it will affect the 'engagement' between Cao Cao and Liu Xiu, so that the situation will be reversed little by little, and it will not be conducive to Liu Xiu in the end. It can be said that the victory or defeat of Zhang Liao's department is an extremely crucial battle, which is related to the life and death of the overall situation.

"Someone!"

Xun You commanded.

As the words fell, a soldier walked in and saluted respectfully.

Xun You said: "Please come over in vain." ”

"Whoa!"

The soldier went to inform.

After a while, a middle-aged strong man with a length of more than eight feet, a leopard head and ringed eyes, a burly body, a round waist and broad shoulders, and sharp eyes walked in in armor.

This person is 'blind'.

'Meng' Bai is a general under Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao is not there, and now he is in command of the soldiers in the army.

'Meng' Bai saluted: "Military Division!"

Xun You bowed his head slightly and asked, "General Meng, is there any latest news from General Zhang?"

'Meng' Bai shook his head and said, "Back to the military division, there is no latest news for the time being. As soon as there was news of General Zhang, the last general immediately presented it to the military division, and did not dare to delay in the slightest. ”

Xun You nodded.

The more this is the case, the more apprehensive Xun Yu's heart becomes.

The situation at the front, he is not clear either.

Xun You thought for a while and ordered: "You send spies to the front line to inquire about General Zhang's news, and see the situation of General Zhang's 'engagement' between General Zhang and Zhao Yun." ”

"Whoa!"

'Meng' Bai De Ling, turned and left.

Xun You sat in the tent with worry in his eyes.

......

Outside the barracks, Zhang Ren was in the camp.

Nearly 30,000 troops were stationed in a strict array.

In the camp tent, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song were all sitting in the camp tent.

The expressions of the three of them were a little solemn.

The three of them led 30,000 troops into Yingchuan, arrived at the Wei State camp, and directly attacked Xun You. Under the strong attack of the Chu soldiers, Xun You kept it without leaking and did not fall behind, so that the Chu soldiers returned with a feather.

Fighting continuously, it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

If it can't be attacked for a long time, it will affect the situation of Zhao Yun in the rear.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and Zhang Song's hearts were all under great pressure.

Wei Yan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, we have been fighting with Xun You for a while, and the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us. ”

"With 30,000 mouths, you have to consume a lot of food every day. ”

"There is not much food and grass prepared by the army. ”

"If it drags on for another ten days and half a month, there will be nothing to eat. ”

"Without food, even if the soldiers can fight again, we have to withdraw. After all, our food was delivered when the army left. Zhang Liao and General Zhao 'clashed' in Wanxian, and we cut off Zhang Liao's grain route, but Zhang Liao also cut off our grain route. ”

"Today, we are also extremely dangerous. ”

Wei Yan's eyes flickered with a 'fine' light, and he said, "If we don't pay attention, we will be in trouble." The Admiral believes that the confrontation can no longer be maintained. Even if you attack, you have to continue to attack, and you can't stop. ”

Zhang Ren nodded and said, "Wen Chang is reasonable, this battle must be resolved quickly. Continuing to procrastinate will plunge us into crisis. ”

Zhang Song stroked the goatee under his chin and sighed: "It's a pity that Xun You is extremely cautious, and the layout is strictly prohibited, and all aspects are properly considered. To deal with Xun You, it is almost as difficult as heaven. If we double our troops, it will be enough to break through Xun Yu's defense head-on. The current strength of the army is extremely difficult. ”

Zhang Ren gritted his teeth and said: "It's difficult, and you have to fight." ”

As soon as the words changed, Zhang Ren looked at Wei Yan and Zhang Song, and said, "Think about it again and consider a foolproof plan." We have been defeated once, we cannot be defeated again, and we must go through this battle of shame. So, come up with a foolproof solution. Until the end, you can't take the strategy of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 yourself. ”

When Zhang Song and Wei Yan heard this, their faces were serious.

The only way to be ashamed is to defeat Xun You.

"Alas, it's difficult!"

Zhang Song sighed.

Wei Yan said: "General Zhang, I have an idea. ”

"What do you think?" Zhang Ren's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of expectation.

Wei Yan replied: "What if a soldier is left behind and pretends to attack Xun You, while the whole army retreats and goes to the rear to flank Zhang Liao with General Zhao? After defeating Zhang Liao, we will attack together, and Xun You will definitely be unable to support it alone. ”

"Impossible!"

Zhang Ren shook his head and refused directly.

Zhang Ren explained: "We have 'clashed' with Xun You several times, but we have not been able to defeat Xun You, which shows that he is 'shrewd'. ”

"Do you think that our soldiers will not be able to see the retreat of our soldiers?"

"We retreat, Xun You will not sit idly by, and will definitely catch up. ”

"However, Xun You will not fight us in a decisive battle, because he has a slightly smaller army and is on the weaker side. Once we are chased and turn around to attack Xun You, Xun You will definitely set up a large battalion to defend. ”

"Overall, Xun You's plan is simple, with defense mixed with offense. ”

Zhang Ren continued: "Xun You is like a wolf waiting around, he will not attack easily, but once he has the opportunity to attack, he will not hesitate to attack and defeat us. ”

"If there is no chance, Xun You will always take the defense to buy time and opportunity for Zhang Liao. ”

"As long as Zhang Liao wins, Xun You will work with Zhang Liao to flank us. ”

Zhang Ren sighed and said, "To a certain extent, Xun You and Zhang Liao's strategies are not much different from ours. It depends on who can take the lead and who can break the balance first. ”

After Wei Yan listened, he bowed slightly.

Zhang Ren's analysis, Wei Yan also agreed.

The double reversal and anti-dumping forces have now maintained a balance, but whether it is Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, or Zhang Ren and Xun You, which side of the balance is broken first, will lead to a complete change in the situation.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a soldier hurried in.

The soldier clenched his fists and said, "General Zhang, the commander of the Fourth Army, Ma Yan, asks to see you." ”

"Ma Yan?"

Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows.

Liu Xiu set up a number of armies under his command, and most of them had military divisions.

The military division of the First Army was Wenpin.

The division of the Second Army was Ma Liang.

The division of the Third Army was Lu Su, who was later transferred to the cabinet center.

The commander of the Fourth Army is Ma Tan.

The chief general of the Fourth Army is Tai Shici. However, Tai Shici commanded the Fourth Army, stationed in Qi 'Chun' County, Jiangxia County, and was responsible for protecting the security of Jiangxia County. Tai Shi Ci is in Jiangxia, why did Ma Tan come to Yingchuan?

"Please!"

Zhang Ren's mind changed rapidly, but he ordered directly.

After a while, a young man with a clear appearance, sword eyebrows, and a confident look walked in.

This person is none other than Ma Yan.

Today's Ma Jian is more mature and stable than when he first came out.

Ma Jian in history has always stayed by Zhuge Liang's side, has theories, but has never been able to go to the army, and has no practical experience. So much so that he led his troops to 'confront' Cao Jun, and directly lost the street pavilion.

Today's Ma Jian is experienced, but he is extraordinary.

Ma Jian entered the big tent, faced Zhang Ren, and bowed without humility or arrogance: "In Ma Tan, I have seen General Zhang, General Wei, and Zhang Junshi. ”

Everyone returned the salute.

Zhang Ren smiled, waved his hand and said, "Master Ma, please take a seat!"

Ma Tan took off his robe and sat down in the tent.

Zhang Ren asked: "Ma Junshi is in Jiangxia, why did he come to Yingchuan County." Isn't something happening in Jiangxia?"

Zhang Ren was very curious about Ma Yan's intention.

Ma Tan chuckled and said, "Everything is fine in Jiangxia, and when I came down, I came here to defeat Xun Youren." ”

"This time, not only did it come down, but General Taishi also led his troops into Yingchuan. ”

"In this battle, General Taishi was ready to join forces with General Zhang to break through Xun You's camp in one fell swoop. ”

Ma Tan talked eloquently and said: "The next plan, we think about it like this, so ...... it"

Immediately, Ma Tan said the next arrangement.

After hearing this, Zhang Ren smiled and said: "Wonderful, wonderful! In this way, this battle will be won." ”

Ma Tan also laughed.

Zhang Ren and Tai Shici joined forces to attack Xun You, and they were naturally victorious.

If the alliance fails, there is no need to fight.

Zhang Ren was still a little curious, and said: "Master Ma, General Taishi is stationed in Jiangxia, why did he suddenly come to Yingchuan?"

Ma Tan replied: "General Taishi was busy attacking Yuzhou during this time, and he has already captured part of the city and gained a firm foothold in Yuzhou. At this time, General Zhao sent someone to request, and General Taishi took advantage of the situation. ”

"Okay! Let's join forces to defeat the enemy. ”

Zhang Ren said excitedly.

Since it was invited by Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren didn't care. And with the help of Tai Shici, this battle will be won.
