Chapter 574: Zhang He's Anxiety

After Zhang He led his troops into Wugong County, he was not happy because he broke Feng Xi's department.

In fact, today's Zhang He is quite worried.

Zhang He's strategic purpose has always been to lead his troops out of Wugong County, threaten the flank of Wuzhangyuan, and even cut off the logistics supply line of the main force of the Shu army at all costs when necessary, so as to relieve the pressure on the Wei army in a pot of porridge on the battlefield in Meixian.

There is not much time left for Zhang He, after all, Guo Huaijun's military rations, God knows how long it can last.

But now, although Zhang He has advanced lightly and stationed in Wugong County, but. The development of the war has completely exceeded Zhang He's expectations.

When he set out from Youfufeng, Zhang He actually thought about the loss of Wugong County, or the Shu army sending troops to seize Wugong County.

It's just that in Zhang He's prediction, the Shu army should focus on taking care of the Meixian battlefield, and most of the main force should be to encircle and suppress Guo Huai's army to prevent Guo Huai's army from succeeding in counterattacking Meixian.

Even if soldiers and horses are sent to seize Wugong County, the number of troops should not be too much, and it will be a great deal to kill thousands of people.

This is also the reason why Zhang He immediately decided to take the risk of launching a surprise attack after discovering Feng Xi's department, Zhang He really thought that Feng Xi's department was all the Shu army that came to attack Wugong County.

As long as this Shu army is broken, then after the rear army arrives in Wugong County, Zhang He can lead the troops to Wuzhangyuan and catch the logistics troops of the Shu army off guard.

Can. In just two days, the Shu army had an army of no less than 15,000 people and converged under the city of Wugong County.

What's even worse is that the main general of this army is still that Zhang Xi.

This was definitely unexpected by Zhang He.

He really didn't expect that the Shu army would divide a full 20,000 troops to occupy Wugong County, and the generals sent to lead the army, or is there gold or how to drop it in the underground of Zhangxi, Wugong County? !

If the leading general of the Shu army was someone else, even if it was Zhang Fei who came, Zhang He would wonder if he had set up a suspicious strategy, leaving a small number of troops to defend the city, and led his troops to raid Wuzhangyuan, and caught the defenders of Wuzhangyuan off guard.

But now, this kind of cleverness, let's forget it.

Others are good to say, this Zhang Xi is not only cautious in his use of soldiers, but also good at fighting tough battles and entanglement battles, and it is basically impossible for you to deceive his surveillance light troops.

If you dare to do this, he will definitely lead his soldiers to drag you down, drag you down, and not give you any time or opportunity to change the purpose of the battle.

Last time in the street pavilion, this thing did this, and it was hard to hold on until the reinforcements arrived, and it was hard to pester, almost making it impossible for him to get out.

In the face of Zhang Xi, there is actually only one road in front of Zhang He - he must completely defeat Zhang Xi in the field battle, and then he can confidently march to Wuzhangyuan.

Zhang He understands this, but Zhang He also understands that this is too difficult.

No matter how arrogant Zhang He was, he didn't dare to say that he could break through Zhang Xi's encirclement of nearly 20,000 people with only three or four thousand people and raid Wuzhangyuan.

Although Zhang He has always felt that his ability is not inferior to any famous general in the world, but for some people, Zhang He really has no bottom in his heart.

At Wakou Pass, Zhang He was violently beaten by Zhang Fei, but Zhang He finally knew where he lost, and he despised that Zhang Fei, and was defenseless against Zhang Fei luring him into the special terrain of Wakou Pass.

Although he was a little embarrassed, Zhang He knew that the next time he met Zhang Fei, he should not let Zhang Fei succeed again.

But the battle in the street pavilion became more and more chaotic after the fight, and until now, Zhang He doesn't understand why he lost. Obviously, there is no problem with his command, and he has indeed driven that Zhang Xi into a desperate situation at the beginning, how did he beat himself everywhere in a big turnover?!

I didn't understand where I lost, and when I reflected after the war, I didn't understand what I went wrong. This kind of person is the existence that Zhang He fears the most.

Therefore, Zhang He had to temporarily stop in Wugong County, waiting for his rear army to arrive, and gather 10,000 soldiers and horses, so that Zhang He had the confidence that he could fight with Zhang Xi.

But this time, it really can't be too long.

The change in the battle situation in Meixian County is about ten days at most, and the winner can be completely distinguished, after all, with Guo Huai's military food reserves, it really can't last too long.

Zhang He predicted that if he could not rush to Wuzhangyuan within ten days and cut off the logistics supply line of the Shu army, then Guo Huai's army would inevitably encounter a large-scale siege by the Shu army when there was no food.

Therefore, the current Zhang He is in a tangled state where he must be anxious, but he can't be too anxious, and it is strange that he can have a good attitude.

Originally, Zhang He was still having a headache, and when his rear army arrived, how should he break through Zhang Xi's interception head-on and march into Wugong County. The scout brought Zhang He an extremely unfavorable news.

According to the report of the scouts, a Shu army of about 3,000 people suddenly left the camp and headed for the east of Wugong County.

After hearing this, Zhang He's eyelids suddenly jumped to Wang Chang's rear army, and he was in danger.

This Zhang Yuanchang made it clear that he was going to encircle and suppress his rear army, as long as he did not have the reinforcements of the rear army, it would be impossible to attack Wuzhangyuan by relying on his subordinates.

Zhang He can see it clearly, but he understands that Zhang He now has no one in his hands, so he can't give up Wugong County at this time, and go directly to join his rear army, right? !

If you do this, that Zhang Xi won't die of laughter?!

Therefore, Zhang He could only send a reconnaissance cavalry in the army, let him quickly find Wang Chang, let Wang Chang be careful along the way, and at the same time lead the troops to advance quickly, and arrive in Wugong County as soon as possible to join him.

Fortunately, Zhang He has been paying attention to the marching speed of the rear army, and now the rear army led by Wang Chang is only a day and a half away from him, if he speeds up the marching speed, he should be able to arrive in Wugong County tomorrow morning at the earliest, and before tomorrow evening at the latest.

After receiving Zhang He's military order, Wang Chang also knew the seriousness of the problem, and without any hesitation, he let his own grain and grass supply go first, and the infantry followed, and the whole army marched in a hurry and rushed to Wugong County.

Wang Chang's decision was indeed fast and resolute, but Liu Yin's marching speed was also beyond Wang Chang's imagination.

Liu Yin set out from the camp in Wugong County in the morning, and by the afternoon, he had already arrived at a place thirty miles away from Wugong County, and began to look for the traces of Zhang He's rear army.

In these years, there are only a few avenues that can be used for marching in various places, and what kind of march over the mountains and mountains is purely to find guilt, unless it is some special surprise mission, no one will do it.

Therefore, as long as Liu Yin sent scouts and searched on those two or three major roads, it was easy to locate the location of the rear army led by Wang Chang - it was still about forty miles away from Wugong County.

Next, what Liu Yin has to do is simple.

Liu Yin only has 3,000 people, and it is unrealistic to intercept Wang Changhou's army, which has 7,000 people, and it is also a hammer to stop it, but if he can't stop it, Zhang Xi simply doesn't have enough time to come and answer him.

Therefore, Liu Yin still strictly abided by Zhang Xi's military orders, and after discovering Wang Chang's traces, he immediately asked the scouts to send a military report to Zhang Xi, and he chose to lead the army to detour to Wang Chang's flank, harass and delay Wang Chang's army, and did not let you march quickly.

As for Wang Chang, after sensing the appearance of the Shu army on his flank, he immediately did not dare to hurry too quickly, and ordered the whole army to be on alert and slow down the speed of the march.

After all, Zhang He had already sent a letter to remind himself, for the purpose of the Shu army, Wang Chang was more or less aware of the appearance of the Shu army in this place, Wang Chang would naturally judge, thinking that not far ahead, there must be a large army of the Shu army waiting for him.

At this time, if you bury your head and hurry, you will simply hit your head into the encirclement network of the Shu army.

Therefore, Wang Chang slowed down the pace of his march, on the one hand, he had to make defensive preparations, and on the other hand, he had to quickly inform Zhang He of the situation, hoping that Zhang He could go out of the city to meet him when necessary.

After all, Wang Chang is also the future Great Wei Hussar General, although he is not yet thirty years old at this time, and his reputation is not obvious, but as a child of the Taiyuan Wang family, his own ability and quality are still here.

In the matter of Liu Yin's sudden appearance on his flank, Wang Chang's judgment was similar to Zhang He's judgment, and they all thought that the Shu army was going to attack the rear army.

After all, the scout reported that the Shu army had 20,000 soldiers, and although it had suffered a small defeat for a while and lost more than 1,000 people, now that Zhang Xi had led the army, the strength was superior.

In case Yixi really led a large army to encircle and suppress the 7,000 post-army led by himself, Wang Changzhen didn't think that he could have a chance to lead his troops to break through from the hands of such a famous general.

Wang Chang was very nervous, and Zhang He was also nervous after he got to report.

Things have developed to this point, Zhang He can already be sure, Zhang Xi may have led the army to set off to intercept Wang Chang's department.

At this time, Zhang He has two ideas to break the enemy.

One is to take advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Xi to lead the troops to leave the camp and attack Wang Chang, and attack the left-behind troops of the Shu army in front of Wugong County.

Seriously, if Zhang He had 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, maybe he really did what he did in Wugong County, and what rear army could be abandoned under the strategic goal of raiding Wuzhangyuan.

But unfortunately, Zhang Xi only has 3,000 people in his hands. Let's not talk about whether their 3,000 people can break through the camp of the frontal Shu army, even if they break through, it is impossible to have no battle damage at all, and there are more than 2,000 people left to run to Wuzhangyuan, which is not to threaten the flank, but to give people military merits.

Therefore, Zhang He had no choice but to choose the second way of thinking at the right time to go out of the city to meet Wang Chang, to protect this rear army, and also to preserve the glimmer of hope for breaking the enemy.

But answering this matter is a technical job, not just going out of the city to pick up.

Zhang Xi is not a fool, it is impossible to imagine that Zhang He would go out of the city to respond, so Zhang He must choose the most suitable time to safely take Wang Chang and the 7,000 rear army back to the city.

This time is obviously not now.
