It is said that Chen Gong watched Liu Bei's army enter Xiapi City, and took advantage of the gap to grab Lu Bu and ask:

"Why doesn't the general follow me?"

Lu Bu shook his head a little irritably: "I forgot for a while." ”

Chen Gong spread his hands in front of Lu Bu and was anxious: "The general's move is tantamount to He Jin leading Dong Zhuo, leading dogs into the village and water into the wall in the past!" ”

Lu Bu was slightly angry and said, "I'm not He Jin, and Liu Bei can't become Dong Zhuo." ”

"Hey!" Chen Gong sighed, quite a kind of hatred that iron does not become steel, and mud can't support the wall.

Seeing this, Lu Bu had no choice but to say: "The next things in the city are all arranged by Mr., how about it?" ”

"It's not too late to make amends."

Chen Gong spread his eyes widely, always keeping an eye on Liu Bei and others' every move, especially Zhao Chen, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who needed the most attention.

A guard is arranged at the door of each important personnel, and personnel are reported at any time.

On the contrary, Liu Bei let go of travel without any restrictions.

That night, an eyeliner hurriedly ran into the Chen Palace's mansion.

"Sir, General Zhang Liao and Zhang have entered Zhao Chen's residence."

Chen Gong was slightly startled, what did Zhang Liao do to find Zhao Chen? The two have never been masked, so why do they need to talk late at night?

Could it be that Zhang Liao saw that Liu Bei was strong and Lu Bu was weak, and wanted to switch to Liu Bei's account?

Or do you want to cooperate with Zhao Chenli and seek to take Picheng?

The more Chen Gong thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he hurriedly got up and hurried towards Zhao Chen's residence with a few soldiers.

On the other side, as Chen Gong said, Zhang Liao came to Zhao Chen with a face full of guilt.

Zhao Chen didn't know Zhang Liao, but remembered that the person who came was the general standing behind Lu Bu when he went out of the city to greet him.

When Zhang Liao introduced himself and saluted Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen took a good look at the general in front of him, who was eight feet long, with thin lips and a straight nose, and a face like a knife.

Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan, a native of Yanmen Mayi (now Shuozhou, Shanxi), a descendant of Ma Yi's strategy, later changed his surname to Zhang to avoid disasters.

That was the Battle of Hefei that made the Emperor of Eastern Wu have no power to fight back, and he broke the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu with 800 foot soldiers.

is also the general that Zhao Chen dreams of, a man who can be called a man with force and resourcefulness.

"The baby is famous and stops crying, and Sun loses 100,000 rest", "Everyone is invincible, and no one dares to be the one", it is Zhang Liao.

The general who should be full of energy and extraordinary spirit, why is his eyes in a trance and his heart heavy now.

Zhao Chen took the initiative to ask: "General Zhang is here at this moment, I don't know what is important?" ”

He then pointed to the thieves at the door and said, "The general knows that my door is not for ordinary people to enter. ”

Zhang Liao glanced back and smiled helplessly: "It's all arranged by Mr. Gongtai, and Liao is here to apologize to Mr. Houde for General Lu." Originally, Liu Yuanjun was invited to come to help, but it was my fault for not treating him politely, so don't take it to heart. ”

"The general really values love and righteousness. Chen often heard Yun Chang say that there were eight generals under Wen Hou's account, but Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan were worthy of the word general. ”

Zhang Liao looked ashamed and said: "Brother Yun, Liao came to find Mr. today precisely because of the word general. ”

Zhao Chen didn't deal with it head-on, and asked rhetorically: "You and I belong to different camps, and we are destined to fight Cao together today." It's late at night, Brother Wen Yuan isn't worried about Mr. Gongtai's suspicions? ”

"I, Zhang Liao, sit upright, how can I be restrained by this?"

"The general is really arrogant."

Zhao Chen poured Zhang Liao a cup of tea, thinking to himself, Zhang Liao is willing to go against Chen Gong's will and come to him alone, he must trust himself, so wouldn't it be possible to subdue Zhang Liao?

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

Zhang Liao saw Zhao Chen's eyes with hope, and slowly expressed the doubts in his heart: "A few days ago, Cao Cao led an army of 50,000 to attack Pengcheng, and Wei Xu, the defender of Pengcheng, only had 5,000 men, and the situation was critical. General Lu ordered me to lead 10,000 troops to support. But who would have thought that Cao Cao would dare to bypass Pengcheng, and actually set up an ambush on the way to Pengcheng in Xiapi, which caught me off guard. I had no choice but to resist with all my might, gather the remnants of my army, and try to enter the city as soon as possible. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he met Wei Xu who came out of Pengcheng, and was about to go back together, but Cao Cao stole the city. Liao really couldn't understand that he would lose Peng Cheng so inexplicably. ”

Zhao Chen listened to Zhang Liao's description, and finally understood why Peng Cheng and Fu Yang would be easily lost.

Typical siege reinforcements.

Siege reinforcement is slightly different from siege reinforcement, reinforcement is well understood, that is, to strike at the troops that come to support, and the difference between siege and siege is that the real purpose is different.

Siege reinforcement is intended to be taken together with the supporting forces at the encirclement point, while siege reinforcement is often encircled but not attacked, with the intention of striking the supporting troops.

Pengcheng was of great significance to both Lü Bu and Cao Cao, and whoever could capture Pengcheng would have the initiative in this battle.

Cao Cao's siege of Pengcheng was naturally the main purpose of taking Pengcheng, but if Zhang Liao was allowed to enter the city with 10,000 horses, then Pengcheng would not be easy to capture.

That's why Cao Cao will first come to a play to send reinforcements and take advantage of the situation to seek Pengcheng.

Looking at Zhao Chen's calm appearance, Zhang Liao opened his mouth and asked sincerely: "In the battle of Pengcheng, Liao is unwilling. Liao had heard that Mr. Houde's talent was better than Zhang Liang, and he came here today to ask Mr. for guidance. ”

Zhao Chen nodded, why Cao Cao likes Zhang Liao so much, not only because Zhang Liao's talent has no obvious shortcomings, but also because he has an inconspicuous character, always maintains humility and awe, and is willing to continue to learn and move forward.

Zhao Chen understood this today.

He laughed and said, "The problem with this battle is that the general is too anxious. ”

"Why?"

"There is no problem in supporting the trapped Pengcheng, but Cao Cao has an army of 50,000, and Pengcheng only has 5,000 men and horses, and it is enough to besiege but not attack 20,000. The general received 10,000 and was anxious to enter Pengcheng directly, which is understandable. But how can Cao Cao get what you want? With Cao Cao's 30,000 people fighting 10,000 generals, it was easy. ”

Zhang Liao was puzzled: "Sir, is it possible that you should go slowly and let Cao's army attack Pengcheng?" ”

Zhao Chen smiled confidently: "Definitely! Rescue is a fast word. It is just that specific problems need to be analyzed in detail, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and different combat situations correspond to different countermeasures. ”

Specific problem specific analysis? It was the first time Zhang Liao had heard of such a concept.

"Cao's army is powerful, so it should be avoided and guided by the situation. The best way is for General Zhang to set up a village outside the city and hold on. First, it was a horn with Pengcheng, and secondly, it was to frustrate the spirit of Cao's army and change the situation on the battlefield. After the enemy's momentum has regressed, it can be decided whether to attack or return to the city to hold on. ”

Zhang Liao understood what Zhao Chen meant: "Avoid its edge, take advantage of the situation, Mr. is really talented!" Liao only heard this, but he never understood what it meant, and now that Mr. said it, Liao finally understood. ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "The things on the battlefield are simple, as far as you are concerned, Chen has a word, I don't know if the general is willing to listen." ”

Zhang Liao's eyes immediately burned, and it was a blessing in life to be able to accept the guidance of great talents.

"Sir, please speak, Liao Ming will keep it in mind."

"General Zhang is brave, powerful, and strategic, and is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs."

Zhang Liao smiled shyly.

Ordinary people can't get into Guan Yu's eyes at all, and Guan Yu, who is not a strong person, will definitely not take a look at it.

Zhang Liao is one of the few generals who can be praised by Guan Yu, is he a weakling?

But it is precisely because of the all-round talent that it stands out that there is no specialty. Going into battle to kill the enemy, General Zhang is not as good as my family Yunchang and Yide, and he is strategizing, General Zhang is by no means an opponent, so General Zhang has made difficult achievements under General Lu. ”

Zhang Liao thought about it, it was true, and he had to admire Zhao Chen.

"Sir, what should Liao do?"

It's also four words, find the right positioning. Become the boss of the defending side! My lord Liu Bei is lacking a coach like General Zhang, if General Zhang is willing, Chen can recommend him. ”

In history, Zhang Liao's most powerful was to command one side, and the ability of hexagons was the most suitable to rule a state.

Zhang Liao suddenly realized and thanked excitedly: "Listening to Mr. 's words is better than reading for ten years." Mr. Liao pointed out today, Liao has nothing to thank, in the future, there will be a place for Liao, Mr. just speak, go to the soup and Liao! It's just a matter of Liu Envoy's account, and Rong Liao thinks twice. ”

Zhao Chen smiled secretly, that's what you said, I wrote it down!
