Along the way, Zhang Xi hurried and hurried back, after all, before dark, to his own camp.

Seeing his own camp, which was quite complete, and Liu Yin, who had already entered the camp to take charge of defense, Zhang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I thought too much and made a false alarm.

After all, Zhang He still did not launch a surprise attack on his own empty village.

But this matter, although Zhang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he was still quite dissatisfied with Feng Xi's actions.

This time it was lucky, Zhang He didn't know why he didn't do it, but it doesn't mean that Zhang He really couldn't think of it or couldn't do it!!

At no time can we underestimate the gold content of the famous generals of this era.

In this matter, Zhang Xi decided that when Feng Xi came back, he still had to talk to Feng Xi about it.

Now. First of all, it is important to stabilize the morale of the army in the army.

Zhang Xi hurriedly sent Liu Yin to lead the troops out to collect the routs who were still scattered after being defeated by Zhang He, while he himself stuck to the camp to deal with the surprise attack of Zhang He's army that might come at any time.

Zhang Xi never doubted Zhang He's ability, although Zhang He did not sneak attack the camp this time, but if Zhang He wanted to raid Wuzhangyuan, he would have to attack his own camp sooner or later.

If he didn't break his own camp, Zhang He didn't dare to enter Wuzhangyuan with confidence.

In the previous strangulation battle, Zhang Xi felt that he was defeated after all, and he failed to completely leave the Wei army in the encirclement, and still let Zhang He take away part of the army, but in the next battle, Zhang Xi didn't want to lose again.

Zhang Xi didn't want to lose again, and Zhang He didn't want to lose again.

In fact, Zhang Xi felt that he had lost because he had failed to keep Wang Chang and others, but Zhang He also did not feel that he had won the previous battle.

Zhang He is also very aggrieved now.

With 10,000 people, he sent troops from Youfufeng to attack Wuzhang Plain, but now he is blocked in Wugong County and cannot advance.

The rear army of more than 7,000 people was completely blocked in the encirclement and suppression less than 20 miles outside Wugong County, and he took 2,500 people to respond, and finally counted his own receiving troops, only 5,300 people escaped from the encirclement and safely withdrew to Wugong County. This is simply a loss of troops and a big defeat!!

If anyone dares to say that this battle is won by him Zhang He, Zhang He was the first to find that person and desperately didn't bury people so much!!

It was precisely for this reason that Zhang He did not easily send troops to attack Zhang Xi's camp outside Wugong County.

Indeed, Zhang He returned to Wugong County earlier than Zhang Xi, and also noticed that there seemed to be some chaos in Zhang Xi's camp outside the city, and Zhang He did think about whether to take the opportunity to raid Zhang Xi's camp.

As long as this camp is broken, there is no need to completely occupy it, only a fire is needed, and all the grain and grass supplies in Zhangxi's camp are burned, and the next battle will be much easier.

Of course, the most important thing is that without this camp stuck on the route to Wuzhangyuan, Zhang He can drive his troops straight into Wuzhangyuan, and the passage has been completely opened.

But when Zhang He was about to do this, he was stunned to find that the Wei soldiers he brought back to Wugong County would not be able to continue fighting in a short period of time.

What Zhang He brought back was a group of soldiers who were tired from fighting for a long time and got away with it, and the morale of these soldiers was all used for the previous breakthrough. Now you let them attack the enemy camp again, they don't even have the basic desire to fight.

Again, Zhang He is not sure whether there are any generals in the current Shu military camp outside the city to preside over the defense.

After all, although Feng Xi sent 4,000 troops to delay Zhang He's army, he was indeed defeated by Zhang He in one fell swoop, and now there are not many defeated troops who have returned to the camp, but Zhang Xi has left Feng Xi with more than 5,000 people to guard the camp.

At this time, there were more than 1,000 people stationed in the camp.

Although it looked a little chaotic, in Zhang He's view, this was a normal chaos in the process of collecting the remnants, and it did not mean that the enemy camp was unpresiding.

In the face of a camp defended by more than 1,000 people, even if the soldiers brought back by Zhang He still have the will to fight and combat effectiveness, even if he counts the 1,000 people who stayed in Wugong County before, there are only 6,300 people, and it is not so easy to send all these soldiers out to attack, and it is not so easy to break through a camp in a short time.

After all, Zhang Xi's army was at most half an hour's march away from him, and even with Zhang Xi's ability, Zhang He didn't dare to believe that Zhang Xi would leave him half an hour less.

Once the attack on the enemy's camp out of the city encountered obstacles and could not break through the camp within half an hour, then Zhang He's army had to face another two-sided attack.

There is an enemy camp in front to hold on, and Zhang Xi leads the army to come back to outflank the back road. This time, if Zhang He is blocked, there will be no one to lead troops to answer him.

If there is a case in case, it will not be a matter of losing troops and losing generals, and Wugong County may not be guaranteed at any time.

At that time, Zhang He did not have enough troops and lacked the support point to march into Wuzhangyuan, what else could he take to march into Wuzhangyuan?!

It was a fluke to be able to safely return to the right wind.

Therefore, Zhang He thought about it again and again, so he did not go out of the city to attack Zhang Xijun's camp, and Zhang Xi escaped.

And then, in less than half an hour, Liu Yin rushed back to the camp with 500 people and began to organize the defense of the camp At this time, Zhang He finally realized that the previous Shu army camp was not presided over by a general, otherwise the Shu army would not have sent more than 500 people back in order to march in a hurry.

But at this time, Zhang He had already missed the opportunity, even if he went out of the city to attack now, the Shu army was already prepared. Zhang He would not do such a thankless task.

With this kung fu, Zhang He might as well let the soldiers take a good rest, after all, he doesn't have much time, and he can only give the soldiers a maximum of two days to rest.

Two days later, Zhang He must lead his troops out of the city, whether he takes the initiative to fight or risks leading his troops to break through, he must act immediately.

Guo Huai's side shouldn't be able to last long.

For this reason, Zhang He found Wang Chang and wanted to discuss with Wang Chang the next course of action.

For Wang Chang, in fact, Zhang He doesn't know much about it.

This is not a strange thing, these days, the main general does not understand the deputy general, and even hates the deputy general, and there are situations where he can't get along with the deputy general.

For example, Zhang Liao once hated his deputy general Wu Zhou very much, and wanted Hu Zhen to replace Wu Zhou as his deputy general, but in the end, he was persuaded by Hu Zhen and reconciled with Wu Zhou.

And Zhang He, when Liu Bei came to Chang'an with Cao Pi's personal expedition during Liu Bei's first Northern Expedition, has been guarding Chang'an since then, and under Cao Ren's arrangement, he has been in charge of the right to support the wind.

As for Wang Chang, more than half a year ago, when Cao Zhen took over as the governor of Yongliang, he was transferred from Hebei and assigned to Zhang He as a deputy general.

The two did not have much contact before, and in the past half a year, although Wang Chang and Zhang He have had some intersections, they are generally some government contacts, and in military affairs, Zhang He still does not know much about Wang Chang.

This time the leader raided Wuzhangyuan, Zhang He led the troops first in pursuit of speed, Wang Chang finally had the ability to show his military talent, and Zhang He finally had an intuitive understanding of Wang Chang's military ability.

There is one thing to say, although Wang Chang was a little at a loss when facing his own response, but Wang Chang was able to make a decision on the spot and lead the troops to defend in a circle before, which also made Zhang He have a certain recognition of Wang Chang in his heart, otherwise Zhang He would not have come to Wang Chang to discuss when facing such a key decision.

Zhang He briefly talked to Wang Chang about the current situation, especially the predicament faced by Guo Huai's army, and then expressed his thoughts.

"Now the situation is critical, Guo Huai is in danger of defeat at any time, we need to enter Wuzhangyuan as soon as possible, in response to Guo Huairan's new defeat of our army, and the Shu army is in charge of the village, if you want to enter the army, you need to do extraordinary things!"

Zhang He said to Wang Chang.

Wang Chang lowered his head, pondered carefully, and asked, "What is the old general's plan, please give me instructions." ”

Wang Chang is not stupid, he knows that with his current position, Zhang He definitely didn't let himself come up with ideas, and he was a staff officer if he died. Then let Zhang He say.

Anyway, as far as the current situation is concerned, Wang Chang can't think of any good way for a while, so it's better to listen to the old general's thoughts.

If it is suitable for you, you will agree, and if it is not suitable for you, you can just advise tactfully.

Zhang He nodded slightly and continued, "The old man has two plans. First, two days later, we worked together, went out of the city to fight with the Shu army, and if we win, we marched smoothly, and if we lost, we abandoned our martial arts and retreated to the right side of the wind. ”

After listening to this, Wang Chang didn't say a word, if this kind of method that everyone could think of, Zhang He didn't need to find himself to be a staff officer at all, he could make a decision by himself.

Sure enough, Zhang He continued, "These two old men want to stay in Wugong County with Wenshu and confuse the Shu thieves with the banner of the old man, while the old man personally led 5,000 soldiers, bypassed the scouts of the Shu army, and secretly marched into Wuzhang Yuan from another road. ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Chang immediately raised his head and looked at Zhang He in surprise.

This look is very complicated.

Zhang He was not surprised that Wang Chang would have such eyes, to be honest, this is understandable.

But Zhang He didn't care about these now, he just looked at Wang Chang with sharp eyes, motionless, waiting for Wang Chang's answer.

Wang Chang hesitated for a while, thought about it again and again, and finally gave up his hand to Zhang He and persuaded him, "The old general has this plan. It's too dangerous!! ”

This is the most euphemistic words of persuasion that Wang Chang can come up with.

After Zhang He listened, he didn't have any intention of being angry, just nodded with a smile and said, "This plan is really dangerous, and the old man knows it. However, if you don't use this plan, how can you enter Wuzhang Yuan and plan for Guo Tingshi to get out of danger?! ”

Wang Chang was slightly choked. Indeed, in today's situation, if you want to break the situation, you can only take such a risk.

But here's the thing

"I'm afraid of this plan, it's hard to hide from the chief general of the Shu army."

Wang Chang bowed down again and persuaded.

After hearing this, Zhang He was also a little helpless, indeed, his little trick, it is indeed a little difficult to hide from Zhang Xi's kid.

But now, does Zhang He have a choice?!

Zhang He could only smile bitterly, got up, and said to Wang Chang, "Zhang Xi, this person, is cautious in using soldiers, and I know it." However, now that our army has few soldiers, and it is worth a new defeat, it may be difficult to break the enemy with a dignified formation. If so, why not take a risk, but it may not be ineffective. It doesn't take long, just hide the three-day period of the Yuan Chang. This matter also needs to be pondered by Wen Shu. ”

As soon as Wang Chang heard this, the pressure suddenly came up again.

Old general, you old man. Isn't it a little too much of a fancy to me?!
