Chen Yan put away the strip of cloth and went all the way to the Yue Cavalry camp.

It was still early, and the pampered beasts of the Yue Cavalry Battalion were all asleep, and Chen Yan arrived in the military tent and roared angrily: "Get up!" There was a war! ”

When the brothers heard the shouting, they all trembled, turned over from the bed, and looked at each other for a while, a little panicked.

Deputy Commander Song Zhong also rubbed his sleepy eyes, stared at Chen Yan and asked, "Leader, are they here so soon?" ”

Seeing everyone's panicked expressions, Chen Yan smiled and said, "Although I didn't come to the city, it's almost there." Hurry up, pack up, after all, Niu Fu and Hu Zhen's pawns are unreliable, if there is a fight, you are still the main force. ”

Song Zhong nodded and said, "Then last time I shot Niu Fu, did the emperor say anything to give me?" ”

Seeing Song Zhong's eagerness for quick success, Chen Yan pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry, you have made such a great contribution, are you still worried that you will not be rewarded?" ”

Song Zhong smirked at this time, looking satisfied.

Chen Yan counted and jumped out of 500 elite soldiers from under the soldiers to join the Yue Cai Battalion, expanding the strength of the Yue Cai Battalion to 2,000, which was also a small scale.

Before noon, Zhang Liao suddenly rode his horse, saw Chen Yan, and first asked where Chen Yan was last night.

Chen Yan was a thief, and knew that Lu Bu and Wang Yun both had a lot of opinions about Cai Yong, although he was ordered by Diao Chan to set Cai Yong's words, but he still didn't dare to say it clearly, so he had to shirk sleeping in the Yue cavalry camp last night.

Song Zhong saw that the boss was lying, although he didn't know why, he still lied to Chen Yanyuan.

In this way, Zhang Liao admired Chen Yan's diligence, nodded again and again and said: "I knew that you were so diligent, everyone didn't have to worry, Xing'er saw that you didn't come back last night, and she couldn't wait to rush to the street to find it, if we didn't stop it, the pedestrians on the street would have suffered." ”

Chen Yan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Xing'er's ruthless skills, and glanced at Song Zhong again to show his gratitude. Otherwise, if Xing'er really caught herself living in Cai Yan's house, it is estimated that she will die a miserable death.

Zhang Liao didn't care about Chen Yan's strange expression, and continued: "By the way, the former army has reported that at this time, Li Dao and Guo Yan have already attacked Chang'an. We need to be prepared. ”

Chen Yan nodded and said, "How many people are they here now?" ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "It's still being calculated." They claim to be 300,000, but it doesn't seem like there are so many. After all, Niu Fu had lost 50,000 in the last defeat, and it was conservatively estimated that the two of them would have a maximum of 250,000 horses. ”

Chen Yan said: "Since Niu Fu has been beheaded by us, these two people should be easy to say." ”

Zhang Liao sighed and said, "Junlang, you can't underestimate these two people. Guo Yan is okay to say, but this Li Dao is quite good at using soldiers, not to mention that his own martial arts are very extraordinary, at least at the level of Niu Fu. ”

Chen Yan had heard of Li Dao Bufan a long time ago, but he didn't expect that even Zhang Liao would be impressed by him.

Zhang Liao said again: "In addition to these two people, there are also two veteran generals in their army, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou. These two people are actually just ordinary people, but Zhang Ji has a nephew named Zhang Xiu, who is an unborn master of the younger generation. ”

When Chen Yan heard Zhang Xiu, he was startled and said, "Northland Spear King? ”

Zhang Liao didn't expect Chen Yan to know Zhang Xiu's nickname, and said in surprise: "Xiaodao Chief, there are two times, even Zhang Xiu knows it?" That's right, this guy is known as the Gun King of the Northland, and he is a great disciple of the spear prodigy. ”

Chen Yan was stunned again, Tong Yuan, isn't that a fictional character that only exists in storytelling? Does it really exist?

Zhang Liao said: "And Zhang Xiu is very good at commanding cavalry, if you meet him on the battlefield this time, you must be cautious." ”

Chen Yan nodded.

Zhang Liao thought for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, it is said that Guo Yan and Li Dao led two armies respectively this time, preparing to attack Chang'an from two directions. ”

Chen Yan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered the words on Jia Xu's cloth strip: "You break Guo Yan, I will fight Lu Bu." Could it be that Jia Xu meant to let himself lead his troops to fight against Guo Yan, and then let the powerful Lu Bu fight against Li Wei?

Chen Yan said: "The meaning of Li Dao's move is nothing more than to see through that we don't have many troops, so we disperse the army, and we have to disperse our troops. ”

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "That's right." General Lu Bu is alive, and he can naturally resist the forces of one side, but what should the other side do? ”

Chen Yan thought of Jia Xu's hint, and thought that Guo Yan had always wanted to kill himself when he was in the city, and suddenly his blood surged, and he took the initiative to say: "Although Poor Dao is not talented, he is willing to lead the troops to fight against Guo Yan!" ”

Zhang Liao was a little surprised when he saw Chen Yan taking the initiative to ask for help, and said: "This matter is very important, and it can only be decided after discussing it with General Lu Bu, Lord Wang Yun." Junlang, although you performed well in the battle against Niu Fu, after all, you are still a newcomer, and I am afraid that you can only be a deputy general. ”

Chen Yan nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a deputy general." ”

Zhang Liao said: "In this way, I will go and discuss with General Lu Bu first, and then come back to give you an answer in the afternoon." ”

Chen Yan nodded and watched Zhang Liao leave.

Sure enough, Zhang Liao was a believer, and just after noon, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the camp, and it was Zhang Liao who came back.

Zhang Liao turned over and dismounted, patted Chen Yan on the shoulder and said, "Good thing, good thing, General Lu Bu agreed to your request, this time it is not only you and Li Su as a partner, I will also fight against Guo Yan with you!" ”

Chen Yan didn't expect Zhang Liao to be with him, he was a little excited, and nodded again and again.

Zhang Liao said: "This time Li Su is the main general, you and I are both deputy generals, let's just obey Li Su's dispatch." ”

Chen Yan until Li Su was considered to be older in Lu Bu's army, and Li Su was very righteous, Chen Yan naturally had no opinion, and even agreed: "This is very good." ”

Zhang Liao said: "Then without further ado, I'll go to order troops first." I'm afraid I'll be able to come over in three days, so we'll have to get ready. ”

Chen Yan agreed, and when Zhang Liao left, he immediately called Song Zhong, took two hundred light cavalry, and went all the way out of the city.

When marching and fighting, the test is "Tao, Heaven, Earth, General, and Law". Among them, the Tao refers to morality, that is, the teacher is famous. The way of Li Dao and Guo Yan is to avenge Dong Zhuo, while Chen Yan's way is to guard the king's master.

The sky refers to the time of the day, Chen Yan knows the history well, and naturally knows that this continuous rain will continue, but it can be regarded as mastering the time of the day.

The land is geographically advantageous, that is, familiar with the combat environment. Chen Yan went out of the city this time to understand the geographical advantage.

The general is the general who leads the troops. Chen Yan has confidence in himself, and he has even more confidence in Li Su and Zhang Liao. He knows Guo Yan's methods very well, and when he goes into battle, he doesn't have to go out of the horse, and he is sure to kill him.

As for the law, it refers to the art of war of marching and arranging, which is also Chen Yan's weakest point. But Chen Yan believed that as long as he mastered the previous items, the weaknesses in this item of the law could be remedied.
