Chapter 904 Add fuel to the fire
Zhuge Jin not only failed to persuade Liu Bei, but also failed to persuade Chen Deng.

As soon as he heard that Liu Bei was going to personally lead the main force to reinforce Zhang Fei and fight Zhang He in a decisive battle, Chen Deng was impatient and refused immediately.

With such a good opportunity, how could Zhang Fei be able to do his best alone.

Zhang Fei wanted revenge, and he wanted revenge too.

After being humiliated by Yuan Shu, he also paid attention to the training of the armies, and had some exchanges with Huang Yi, realizing that although Yuan Shu was shameless, he did not tell lies.

His subordinates are indeed weaker among the armies, not only cannot be compared with the imperial army, even Liu Bei's central army is slightly better than him.

Once the army encircles Yecheng, he will inevitably become a spectator, and his chances of making meritorious service are very limited.

Chen Deng immediately rushed to the Chinese army and asked Liu Bei for orders.

Although his subordinates lost a lot, they didn't hurt the root.As the main force, it may be difficult to directly attack Zhang He, but it is no problem to support Zhang Fei, provide Zhang Fei with flank protection, or act as a suspect to disperse Zhang He's forces.

Liu Bei hesitated at first, but at Chen Deng's insistence, he agreed.

When Chen Deng went out excitedly, Fazheng came out from the inner tent and smiled slightly.

Liu Bei smacked his lips. "Xiaozhi, isn't it wrong to do this?"

Fazheng took his seat and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Chen Yuanlong is a hero with a bright future, but he considers himself a scholar-bureaucrat and refuses to serve as a servant. If he is the prefect of a county, it's no problem, he can rule by lying down. If you can't share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, how can you gain the strength of the soldiers?"

Liu Bei stroked his chin and nodded.

When he was in Luoyang, he had many exchanges with Guan Yu, and Guan Yu emphasized this point.

The foundation of the emperor's military training method is to cherish soldiers.Not only caring about life, but also respecting spiritually.Only by treating soldiers as confidantes, cherishing them, valuing their accumulated experience in battle, and refining them, can we be united and invincible.

If you act like you love soldiers just to make use of them, but don't respect them in your heart, and don't take their advice seriously, you won't be able to realize your soldiers' true potential.

Chen Deng came from a family, and in this regard, he did not do enough.High and low are like a chasm.He can cherish the soldiers and let them have no worries about food and clothing, but it is difficult to respect them psychologically and regard them as soldiers like himself.

Chen Deng does not agree with the view that all people are scholars.Even if you recognize it, it's just lip service, without really taking it into your heart, and it's even more impossible to implement it in action.

Even Zhang Fei, who has a hot temper and often whips his soldiers, is better than him.

It might be a good thing if he could take this opportunity to see the shortcomings in the training methods and make corrections.

He didn't want Chen Deng to bring this kind of habit of the children of the aristocratic family to overseas expeditions.

In order to prevent accidents, Liu Bei discussed with Fazheng, and the Chinese army moved forward, ready to rush to help Zhang Fei and Chen Deng, especially the latter.

Zhang Yun's most lethal force is the cavalry, but Chen Deng does not have many cavalry.To make up for this shortcoming, only Liu Bei will go out in person.

-

After receiving Zhuge Jin's reply, Huang Yi was very upset when he learned that not only did Liu Bei not intend to stop Zhang Fei, but the whole army was pressing forward, ready to face Zhang He in a decisive battle.

He could prepare floating bridges for Zhang Fei, but he couldn't prepare enough floating bridges for Liu Bei's army.Once discovered by Zhang Yun, even if Liu Bei had two or three times the strength, he would not be able to cross the river for reinforcements, so he could only watch Zhang Fei fight head-on with Zhang Yun.

After repeated weighing, Huang Yi wrote a military report and ordered people to send it back to Xingzai and hand it over to Yu Fan, who offered sacrifices to the wine. Yu Fan decided whether to report to the emperor and arrange for reinforcements from generals.

The camp of the former general Duan Yan was on the south bank of Zhangshui, so it was convenient for reinforcements.

Two days later, the messenger returned.Jijiu Yu Fan was ordered to go to the Bohai Sea to assist Sun Ce in the battle, and he was not good at it.The document was handed over to the person who stayed behind, and it will be submitted to the emperor.

But whether the emperor will pay attention to it, or even when he will see it, is uncertain.

Huang Yi had a headache.In desperation, he found Zhuge Jin again, and asked him to go for a trip, or write a letter to Zhuge Liang, asking Zhuge Liang to pay attention and submit to the emperor in time.

Zhuge Jin was also very anxious and rushed to Xingzai immediately.

-

Not long after Zhuge Jin left the camp, Zhang Fei launched an attack.

In order to conceal the main force led by Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and Chen Deng pretended to move upstream and downstream of Zhang Fei at the same time, making a gesture of surveying the terrain and preparing to forcibly cross the water.

Sure enough, Zhang He was fooled and sent people to build multiple positions along the Zhangshui River.

Seeing that the effect of dividing troops was achieved, Zhang Fei picked a rainy morning that seemed unlikely to rain, and launched an attack suddenly.

The raft pre-built by the supply battalion was pushed into the water, pulled by ropes upstream, and stretched to the opposite bank.Under the cover of a large shield, several soldiers stood on the raft, ready to forcibly grab the beach.

On the bank, hundreds of crossbowmen stood ready to suppress the Jizhou army who might appear on the opposite side at any time, preventing them from walking to the river bank and obstructing the construction of the pontoon bridge.

Under the guidance of the technicians in the Jiangwu Hall, the construction of these pontoon bridges went smoothly.When more than a dozen rangers appeared on the opposite side and found the pontoon bridges on the river, the ten pontoon bridges had already been built, and the fully armed Xuzhou Army officers and soldiers filed across the bridge and stood on the opposite side.

The rangers immediately started to shoot, harassing the Xuzhou army who was in formation, and tried to rush to the river to destroy the pontoon bridge.

At the same time, the two knights galloped towards the camp.

Zhang Fei could see clearly and knew that he was running out of time.In a quarter of an hour at most, the rangers nearby will gather.At most half an hour, Zhang Yun's main force will arrive.

"Quick, cross the bridge quickly." Zhang Fei shouted repeatedly, ordering the soldiers to speed up to cross the bridge.

Only by setting up a solid position on the opposite side can Zhang Yun's counterattack be blocked.

The soldiers speeded up and almost ran on the pontoon bridge.

The floating bridge shook violently, and several soldiers lost their footing and fell into the water.

Seeing this scene, although Zhang Fei was very anxious, he had no choice but to let the soldiers keep up their speed to avoid falling into the water.With iron armor on his body and a thick battle robe inside, no matter how good the water ability is, it is difficult to survive by his own strength.

At the beginning, Huang Yi said to him that crossing [-] people within half an hour was by no means a false statement, it was a judgment made by comprehensively considering various factors, and it was not something he could do as quickly as he wanted.

Looking at the Jizhou ranger who was constantly attacking the position opposite, Zhang Fei was very anxious.

The pontoon bridge can indeed transport [-] people, but under the attack of the other party's rangers, the [-] people will inevitably suffer losses. Whether they can complete the formation or even hold the pontoon bridge is a problem.

To accomplish the set goal, the best way is to send a hundred riders over to ride a broken one.

Zhang Fei discussed with Huang Yi to see if there was any way to stabilize the pontoon so that he could send the personal guard battalion over.

Huang Yi sized Zhang Fei up. "Is it just the guard camp? The general won't go there?"

Zhang Fei blushed.He really wanted to go there in person, but Huang Yi saw through it at a glance.

"is it not OK?"

Huang Yi smacked his lips, shook his head, and raised his hand to point to the opposite bank. "I advise the general not to take any risks. Those rangers have a well-organized way of advancing and retreating, and they should have come prepared. I am worried that this is a trap, especially for the general."

Zhang Fei was startled. "Isn't it?"

"I have to guard against it." Huang Yi said solemnly: "I heard that Zhang He is cautious. Since he was ordered to guard this place, it is impossible for him not to understand the nearby geography. He should know exactly which places can be crossed. Although Liu Shijun and General Chen set up suspicious troops, and the general chooses a place that he must be vigilant about."
