Xie Bi is a very low-key one among the generals of the Taishan Army, which is also related to his experience, Rao is who was stabbed like a pig and dog by the patriarch of his own family, and his mind will be different.

He prides himself on being handsome in the clan, and he thinks that even if he is in the side branch, as long as he relies on his own efforts, he can reap his own glory. But the three mountains outside the Xue family's wall, the knife given to him by his patriarch made him really understand what is something that has been decided since birth, and if you are working hard, these things are not yours.

Simply, not everyone in this world is like this, at least there are heroes like Qu Kui, he wants to bring fairness to this world, so that everyone who works hard can have the opportunity to gain his own glory.

It is because Xie Bi's mind has changed, but it is not dead, but more tenacious than in the past, and the result is that he Xie Bi has no past publicity, but is introverted and low-key.

But low-key is low-key, Xie Bi is undoubtedly a recognized wise general in the army.

Once, Zhang Chong once asked the military advisor He Kui:

"Among the many generals, such as Ding Sheng, Dian Wei, and Tian Jun, can they be called good generals?"

He Kuidao:

"Ding Sheng is a general, not a general; Dian Wei is a fighting general, not a leading general; Tian Jun is a cavalry general, not a general. ”

Zhang Chong was noncommittal, but asked:

"Shulong thinks, who is the good general?"

He Kuidao:

"Guan Yu is brave and righteous, Zhang Danzhi is benevolent, Li Da is powerful and powerful, and he is strict in forbidding letters, all of them are good generals."

Zhang Chong was silent for a while and said something like this:

Sun Tzu said that there will be five dangers, death can be killed, life can be captured, anger can be insulted, honesty can be humiliated, love the people can be annoying. All these five will be passed, and the disaster of using soldiers will also be used. If the army is overturned and killed, there will be five dangers, and it must not be overlooked. ”

What does Zhang Chong mean by this? is He Kui's comments on the generals in the army, don't look at what kind of brave words, strictness, benevolence, and righteousness they are. But in reality? These sparkling qualities in your humanity can also be your flaws.

For example, if you love the people very much, then when the enemy knows about it, he will go to the outside of the city to kill your people and force you to go to war. If you just love the people and don't see the people die in vain, then you will fall into the trap of the enemy, and the destruction of the army is just around the corner. And if you are a person who cares about your reputation very much, then after the enemy knows about it, he will give you a set of women's clothes and humiliate you, and a person with such a character will definitely go out in order to maintain his reputation, and then he will be defeated and killed.

Therefore, we always think that tenacity, integrity, benevolence, and courage are all flashes of human nature, and the generals also demand themselves from this, which is good and right, but it is not enough.

As a general, the most important thing is to know the way of Zhengqi, which is not only to use soldiers to be Qiqi, but also to their own character and emotions. Benevolence is disposition, and it is necessary to adhere to it, but it is more important to know when benevolence and righteousness are more useful.

In the words of Zhang Chong's later generations, generals must understand materialist dialectics, and this thing can be learned for a lifetime. After that, this passage was recorded by Zhang Chong in the "Generals" lesson of the Military Academy, so that the generals were always vigilant.

Back to Xie Bi, he didn't have many military achievements in the past, because there were not many people in the army who were good at planning at that time, so he was often left in the base area to assist him. And this time, Zhang Chong deliberately promoted Xie Bi and made him the vanguard of the former army.

Xie Bi also lived up to the trust, wading through the water and paving the road and pulling out the stone properly, not only that, Xie Bi's temperament is also cautious, and he will send a flag sentry when he encounters a steep mountain, and then he will go.

They built a bridge in a shallow and narrow part of Wenshui, and then crossed the river to the west bank of Wenshui. The rest of the road will have to be walked along the West Bank.

When they came to a group of mountains, although these mountains were not very high, they were right next to Xie Bi's marching path, with mountains on the left and water on the right, which was an ideal ambush.

Xie Bi was a little surprised, so he ordered the headquarters to stop the army. He called the guide and asked what kind of mountain is this? The guide said that this is Gaoshan.

Xie Bi pondered for a while, and ordered the Tanma to investigate the mountain, and after a while, the Tanma reported that there was a Han army lying on the mountain. On the one hand, Xie Bi made people repay the Chinese army, and on the other hand, let the drummers beat the drums, which surprised the Han soldiers.

Sure enough, knowing that the Han soldiers who had been ambushed had been leaked, they would no longer hide, so they waved their flags on the mountain and proclaimed their prestige.

Zhang Chong's guess was correct before, the Huang clan and the county pawn of Zhang County did join forces with the Wuyan Liu clan, but what Zhang Chong didn't know was that it was not only the Wuyan Liu clan that joined forces this time, but also the soldiers of other counties.

There are a total of seven counties in Dongping, except for Fucheng, Xuchang and Ningyang counties, which are far away, others such as Shouzhang, Wuyan, Dongpinglu and Zhangxian are all in Wenshui. This time, the seven counties directly came to the county soldiers of the four counties, and they wanted to eliminate the Taishan army in the north here.

That's right, they know the strength of the Taishan Army, and they also know that this wave of thieves has turned into the Yellow Turban Army, so they don't have any illusions, and directly join forces to ambush the Taishan Army.

Dongpingguo's response was very quick and timely, and all of this needs to be attributed to Dongpingguo's Minister Li Zhan. This gentleman is a native of Xiangcheng, Yingchuan, and is well-known in the world.

How well-known is it?

In this way, there is no corporal doctor in the world who does not know him. Just because his father's name is Li Ying, the model Li Ying in the world. Xiangcheng Li family is the family of the family, and later Li Ying is the head of the Qingliu party, thousands of disciples, it can be said that the door is all over the world, and then the first party was arrested, and in the second party is righteous, it is to push the Li family's name to a peak.

So when Li Zan gave the order, the counties immediately responded, because he had such prestige. Even Liu Kai, the king of Dongping, handed over his guards to Li Zan and let him take charge. This is very rare, and generally speaking, the relationship between the prime minister and the local fiefdom king will not be very good, because after all, the prime minister has usurped the authority of the county king, and even has the intention of surveillance. But who made Li Zan a model in the world

Liu Kai's son of Li Ying, and Liu Kai, the king of Dongping in this generation, is still young for less than two years after becoming king, so he naturally has some admiration for this kind of celebrity who helps the world.

Li Zan also lived up to his father's name, was in the prime of life, and was a rare bold minister in the Han court. Since the death of Chen Qi in Jibei next door, he asked people to go to the sentry to investigate the situation of the Taishan thieves.

Some people are shrewd and capable, so they do things in advance, not like some scumbags, who talk about their hearts and minds on weekdays, and report to the king when they die. What's the use of just having integrity, what you want is to solve the problem.

So when the Taishan army began to move north and set off along Wenshui, Li Zan knew that his Dongping Kingdom was the first to bear the brunt. Originally, he had to prepare more, after all, there was a snake hill in front of him, there were at least more than 1,000 soldiers in the city, and many Cao officials were also there, as long as he guarded it, it would be no problem to hold it for a few months. When the time comes, he Li Zan will gather the troops of Dongping Kingdom and go down the Wenshui River, which can be reached in three days. When the time comes, won't it be easy to break the thief?

But who knew that Snake Hill ran away without guarding it, and a bunch of incompetent mediocre officials ruined the good situation.

Helplessly, in order to block the northward road of the Yellow Turban Army of Taishan, Li Zan no longer wanted to sit in the county without salt, and rushed directly to Zhang County, the southernmost gateway of Dongping Kingdom, and parked the carriage here.

Then he took over the military affairs from the county magistrate Zhang, and urgently urged the county officials of the four counties of Wenshui to come here to meet, and he wanted to ambush the Taishan Yellow Turban Army here and reverse the current situation in one fell swoop.

But Li Zan can do anything, but the soldiers who follow him are not like him. When he went to Zhangxian, he brought 200 soldiers. When they set off, the soldiers were all disgraced and frightened, crying and unwilling to die.

Li Zan ordered:

"Those who violate our system will be killed!"

In this way, these soldiers came to Zhang County.

Fortunately, when walking along Wenshui, passing through Dongpinglu County, Liu Shen, a warrior in the county, led his troops to join the army with 200 elites, so as to stabilize the army's heart and go all the way to Zhang County.

Then on the third day of Li Zhan's arrival in Zhangxian, the first to dare to come turned out to be Shou Zhangbing, who was the farthest away. The younger brother of Shouzhang Zhang Miao, who is also the captain of Shouzhang County, Zhang Chao led thousands of soldiers, traveled 200 miles a day, and rushed to Zhang County to meet with Li Zhan, the minister of state.

It was also around that time, Wu Ziling, the county lieutenant of Dongping Lu, led five hundred county soldiers, and the troops of the Wuyan Liu clan also rushed over, and there were also Haoqiang from all over the country, such as Gao Ya, Zhao Shu, and Li Zou who led the troops to join the army. And the famous people in the county also came to Zhang County to join the Li Zan shogunate, such as Wang Kai, Xu Yan, etc., all of which are the essence of Dongping Kingdom.

The arrival of various armies one after another made Li Zan gather 3,000 troops, and this army is still expanding.

Then Li Zan ordered his troops to block the surface of the Wenshui water and cut off the Wenshui communication line. After that, he took Zhang Chao's Shou Zhang Bing, Wu Zi, Liu Shen's Dongping Army Soldiers, Liu Kang's Wuyan Soldiers, Huang Cen's Zhangxian Soldiers, and Zhao Shu and Li Zou's troops to Gaoshan. This is the only way along the west bank of Wenshui, where Li Zan plans to ambush the Yellow Turban of Mount Tai heading north.

Li Zhan's plan was to ambush here while the Yellow Turban Moth Thief had just broken through the snake hill and was arrogant. In addition, he had already sent an order to the Ningyang side to let them go north and prevent the Yellow Turban Thief from escaping. In addition, he has called on the local tyrants to bring their own ministries as a backup.

He just wants to block the front and back, on the side of this Gao Mountain, the shore of Wenshui to exterminate the fierce Taishan Yellow Turban in one fell swoop, and continue to transport it for the Han family.

But Li Zhan's opinion, Shou Zhangwei and Zhang Chao actually disagreed with it in his heart. He knew more about the situation of the Taishan thieves than Li Zhan, after all, two years ago, they went to help Hu's mother's family, and they suffered a big loss on these thieves. Later, they spent a lot of effort to collect the military reports of the Taishan thieves, and then found out that the Taishan army was really invincible and invincible.

Whether or not those who have been hostile to the Tarzan army are waste, at least one thing is certain, the Tarzan army is stronger than most armies. And now? Li Zan had no more than 3,000 soldiers, and the number of people on the other side was uncertain, but at least it would not be less than theirs. And now, where did Li Zan get the confidence to fight with others. It's better to enter Zhang County and defend the city, isn't that more stable?

Zhang Chao expressed this doubt, who knew that Li Zan replied:

"I don't care about Zhang'er, I'm as timid as a chicken."

Zhang Chao couldn't stand it all of a sudden, he boasted that he was the champion of martial arts in the state and county, and their Zhang family was famous in Yanzhou, even if you Li Zan was famous in the world, you can't humiliate me.

It was Zhang Chao who asked for his life, thinking that he was a pioneer, and he was bound to let Li Zan see if he was a dragon or a worm.
