Han Dao world

Chapter 903
Zhang Fei held the rein and looked at the ranger on the other side, frowning with thick eyebrows.

Everywhere he went, Rangers would appear opposite him.It can be seen that Zhang Yun is very defensive and does not intend to give him any chance to take advantage of it.

This made him very helpless.

With the big river ahead, how to cross it safely became a problem he had to solve.

Of course he can wait.When Youyan Duhufu and the Northern Army besieged the city, Zhang He must retreat to Yecheng, and then he could cross the river calmly.It's just that in that way, his idea of ​​revenge will be defeated, and when facing Guan Yu in the future, he will inevitably be ridiculed by Guan Yu.

Liu Bei was laughed at by Guan Yu when he entered Beijing to participate in the parade. At that time, Guan Yu had not yet become one of the eight schools of the Northern Army.

Thinking of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei felt a little complicated.

He has always respected Guan Yu and treated Guan Yu like an elder brother, but Guan Yu did not treat him as a brother.After much deliberation, he felt that there was only one reason: he was too weak, and Guan Yu looked down on him.

To win Guan Yu's respect, there is only one way, strength.

Just like Xu Huang.

"General, if you want to cross the river, I'm afraid you need the help of the Wutang Hall." Mi Fang came over, pointed to Huang Yi and others in the distance, and reminded.

"How can they help?" Zhang Fei was a little anxious and his voice was a little loud.

Huang Yi brought dozens of students from the martial arts hall to practice.Most of these people are soldiers with certain military experience. After relevant training, they are indeed much better than ordinary generals.But Zhang Fei didn't think they could solve the problem of crossing the river that he couldn't solve, nor did he think that they were better than him.

"If the technicians in the martial arts hall can quickly erect the pontoon bridge, let us cross the river as quickly as possible, without giving Zhang He a chance to attack halfway through, wouldn't that be all right?"

Zhang Fei's eyes flickered slightly, and he felt that there was some truth.

He and Zhang Yun are equal in strength, and he even has some advantages in fighting after the battle.The biggest trouble was the Zhangshui in front of him. He was most afraid of being hit halfway by his opponent, and what he had been thinking about was how to cross the Zhangshui without alarming Zhang Yun.

If the technicians in the martial arts hall can quickly erect the pontoon bridge, allowing him to send enough soldiers to the opposite bank to stand up before Zhang He reacts, then there is no need to consider hiding from Zhang He.

At most, it is to set up more suspicious soldiers, so that Zhang Yun can't figure out the exact place where he crossed the river.

"Ask him to come."

With permission, Mi Fang went over in person and invited Huang Yi over.After hearing Zhang Fei's thoughts, Huang Yi pondered for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.

"General, with all due respect, now is not the best time to attack."

Upon hearing Huang Yi's words, Zhang Fei's face darkened, and his tone became stiff. "Why?"

Huang Yi raised his hand and pointed his whip at both sides of the river. "It's Shengxia right now. The weather is hot. Soldiers are prone to heatstroke when they wear armor to fight. The general knows this, so I won't say more. Zhangshui is the main stream of Jizhou, and the water is extremely strong. It's the rainy season. Once it rains, The water level will skyrocket, and at that time, within a hundred steps of both sides of the bank, there is a possibility that it will be covered by the water."

When Zhang Fei heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

If he lined up with his back to the water, he would not be too far from the river.If the Zhangshui rises so much, it is indeed possible to impact the formation.

"It's just a rain, how can the water rise so much?" Zhang Fei was skeptical.

"I've asked many local people, and it's undeniable." Huang Yi said.

He didn't mention his experience in flood control in Luoyang, for fear of provoking Zhang Fei.In fact, flood control made him realize the power of water, which is more useful than reading military books.

Standing on the turbulent embankment of the river, watching the turbid river rushing away, I naturally understand the meaning of the words "shuihuoruqing".Good use of water and fire can achieve the effect of defeating the strong with the weak and defeating the many with the few.

As a general who has led the army for many years, Zhang Fei should understand this, and he doesn't need to remind him.

He only needs to inform Zhang Fei of the unique flood situation in Zhangshui.

"If you build a bridge, what kind of bridge can you build, and how long will it take to transport two thousand people to stand up?"

Seeing that Zhang Fei avoided talking about his question and insisted on crossing the river, Huang Yi secretly sighed.

"If the general needs it, we can build a raft first, then push it into the river to form a pontoon bridge, transport two to three thousand infantry within half an hour, and establish a position on the opposite bank. It is difficult for cavalry, and it takes a certain amount of time for the horses to walk on the pontoon bridge. Of course, the biggest difficulty is choosing the timing, if it rains suddenly, the river widens and the pontoon bridge is not wide enough, it is not easy to cross the river, but it is even more troublesome to retreat after crossing the river.”

Zhang Fei nodded and thought for a moment. "I will proceed with caution, please ask Huang Changshi to prepare the pontoon for me."

Huang Yi turned to look at Mi Fang.

Mi Fang also cupped her hands and said, "It's safe to be prepared, I'm going to trouble Chang Shi."

Huang Yi had no choice but to agree, and ordered the technicians to prepare to instruct Zhang Fei's craftsmen to make the pontoon bridge.While discussing tactics with the students in the martial arts hall, he sent people back to Liu Bei's army to find Zhuge Jin and report the relevant situation, hoping that Zhuge Jin could come forward and let Liu Bei stop Zhang Fei.

In his view, now is definitely not a good time to take the initiative.

-

After hesitating for a long time, Zhuge Jin walked into Liu Bei's Chinese army tent.

Liu Bei and Fazheng enjoyed the singing and dancing while drinking.Seeing Zhuge Jin coming in, he smiled and waved. "Ziyu, you came just in time, take your seat quickly, and have a taste of the delicious wine that just arrived."

Zhuge Jin took his seat, drank two glasses of wine, exchanged some pleasantries, and then told the news he had just received.After Liu Bei listened, he laughed, turned his head and said to Fazheng:
"Yide is so eager to make contributions that he can't hold back anymore."

Fazheng raised his wine glass and nodded. "The method is a good one, but it's a bit dangerous, and it needs to be considered in the long run."

When Zhuge Jin heard this, she became a little anxious.Huang Yi was extremely pessimistic about this battle, so he risked Zhang Fei's displeasure by asking him to inform Liu Bei.But listening to Fazheng's meaning, it seems that he doesn't intend to stop Zhang Fei, and wants to fight.

"Emissary, military advisor..."

"Ziyu, don't be nervous." Liu Bei laughed. "Youyan Duhu attacked Hejian, and Beihai attacked Bohai. The clansmen of Zhang He and Gao Lan were either captured or surrendered. They had no fighting spirit for a long time. The army is about to encircle Yecheng, and there is nothing wrong with us taking the first step. Really wait for the weather It's getting colder, and several armies are advancing side by side, so where is the chance for us to make meritorious deeds?"

Zhuge Jin reminded: "Although this is the case, Zhang He is good at fighting and will not surrender easily..."

Liu Bei interrupted Zhuge Jin. "Do you know Xing Ziang?"

"I've heard that Xing Ziang is a man of virtue and is a famous scholar in Hejian."

"That's right, he originally went to see him, and wanted to dissuade Du Tian, ​​but now he has changed his attitude and is going to become an official." Liu Bei chuckled. "Before Xing Ziang went to Xingzai, he had been to Zhang He's camp. Before him, there was a man named Bei Zhan who had a better relationship with Zhang He. Now he is making sacrificial wine in Yinfang, Jizhou. Although Yecheng is not yet under control, the people of Jizhou are still alive." He has already surrendered to the imperial court, how can Zhang Yun be an exception. At this time, he is fighting our army desperately, he is afraid that he is sick."

Zhuge Jin frowned and looked at Fazheng.

He felt that Liu Bei was too optimistic, and hoped that Fazheng could persuade Liu Bei.

In the entire big camp right now, the one Liu Bei trusts the most is Fazheng.Fazheng is also a military advisor sent by the emperor, so he must not be so frivolous.

Fazheng smiled. "Ziyu don't need to worry, Shijun won't let General Zhang face Zhang Xi alone. By the way, how is Chen Yuanlong resting, can he go into battle?"

"I'm afraid there are still some problems."

"Then let him guard the rear camp." Fazheng said: "The envoy will go into battle in person, defeat Zhang He, and avenge his shame."
