Chapter 149 Zhang Xiu Sends Troops
Wancheng official residence, meeting hall.

Liu Pan, who had just returned from his patrol on the city wall, couldn't help but said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, the other party has been yelling and scolding at the city for two days, and they are very arrogant. The general avoids fighting and makes the defenders of Wancheng scolded every day. Morale is greatly reduced. If things go on like this, Wancheng will lose because of morale.

Now is a good time to fight the enemy and boost morale, why not go out to fight? "

Zhang Xiu explained with a smile: "Mr. Wen He said that this is definitely not the best time to fight. The enemy generals are brave. Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Xu Chu all have undue courage. If they fight, they will be defeated. That's it. If the morale is not damaged, it will also deplete the troops. Instead of being defeated by the opponent in battle, it is better to wait and see what happens, wait for the opportunity, and then seek a way to defeat the enemy."

Liu Pan has a strong character, but he is not a man without strategy. He also knows the strategy of war very well.He still understands the truth of sticking to changes and waiting for opportunities to attack, but there have been some rumors in the city that Sun Can has formed an alliance with Zhang Xiu to deal with Liu Biao together, which makes him have to worry about it
He also came here specially, probed his tone, and said: "Sun Can's child is hypocritical and has offended me in Jingzhou again and again. This person is very ambitious. General, don't be deceived by his appearance and do things that you regret for life. You will regret it when the time comes. It's too late."

There was a trace of cold sweat on Zhang Xiu's face, and he thought: "Mr. Wen He is really right, and Liu Biao is really jealous of himself." Immediately, Dayi agreed with awe: "Sun Can'er was once on the battlefield, making his generals Xu Huang, kill my uncle Zhang Ji. I have a sworn feud with him.

Today, I am not very happy to be able to form an alliance with Liu Jingzhou to deal with Sun Can's son together.It is true that Sun Can is indeed an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, which is rare in the world, but as long as we work together to deal with Sun Can, there is no need to worry about Sun Can's failure. "

After listening to Zhang Xiu's words, Liu Pan nodded in relief, and stopped talking about sending troops. He also had new recognition for his alliance.

However, this recognition did not last long.

This day was also the day Sun Can ordered the retreat unconditionally.

"Great, Sun Can's son finally couldn't bear it anymore and withdrew his troops. General Zhang Xiu, now is a great time to send troops, so hurry up and send troops?" Liu Pan was eager to defeat Sun Can and was very concerned about the war. Go to the city wall to peek at Sun Can's barracks.

On this day, he found that the extremely tightly guarded military camps in Sun Can's military camp suddenly became lazy and chaotic. What I saw, I hurriedly persuaded him to send troops.

"If there is such a thing, that's good! Pass down the order, order the three armies to dispatch troops immediately." Zhang Xiu shouted the order, his face was full of joy, Sun Can is a hero in the world, famous all over the world, if he defeats Sun Can's army at this moment, Then his reputation will surely overshadow Sun Can.

At that time, civil servants and military generals will come to vote one after another, and the land will be crowned king. Are you afraid that you will not have your own share?

Jia Xu yelled inwardly, "No!" He quickly stopped him and said, "General Zhang can't do it, Sun Can's retreat is strange, I'm afraid it's deceitful."

Zhang Xiu shuddered, and secretly said: "If there is a fraud, why don't he push his soldiers to death?" Thinking about it, he looked at Liu Pan with some embarrassment.

How can Liu Pan take care of so much at the moment, this is his last chance to make meritorious service, if he does not fight, he will be severely punished by military law, and immediately protested: "Mr. Wenhe, you are too timid and suspicious Now that the situation is clear, the opponent's withdrawal is a great opportunity to pursue meritorious deeds and become famous in the world, the general must not miss this opportunity."

Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu and then at Liu Pan, and was in a dilemma.Liu Pan's words also make sense, and he can't afford to offend him for the time being, but Jia Xu insists on every word, so he has to listen.

To be honest, he also wanted to pursue Sun Can in his heart, as long as he defeated Sun Can, he would have a reputation, and with a reputation, he would naturally have power, and then he went to the world's largest princes, and became kings.

This is his dream, but he knows that with his current reputation, being a prince cannot be self-sufficient.Don't even think about being king unless he has an outstanding record and is convincing.And just in front of him is an opportunity that can greatly increase his reputation.

To fight, or not to fight, lingered in his mind.

As a counselor, Jia Xu is quite responsible. Although he didn't really go to Zhang Xiu, knowing that he is not a famous master, but as long as he is under Zhang Xiu's command for a day, he will be his own master in principle, Do your best and come up with every strategy, even if the other party is the one you think is the master, he will not show any mercy.

He knew that Zhang Xiu was moved, and immediately persuaded him: "Just imagine, General, why Sun Can retreated for no reason. Could it be that he, who has always been very wise, was confused on this matter?"

Zhang Xiu thought it was reasonable and nodded slightly.

Liu Pan said anxiously: "Mr. Wenhe, I don't know something. Lu Bu has formed an alliance with our army and will not invade each other. They also agreed to attack Huainan. A few days ago, Sun Can was eager to attack the city, presumably because he was invaded by Lu Bu. The news made him rush to fight our army. But at this moment, Sun Can had obviously reached his limit. Time was running out, and he couldn't drag it any longer. So he planned to evacuate silently.

It would be a pity not to seize such a good opportunity. "

Zhang Xiu nodded again, Liu Pan's words were not without reason.

Jia Xu analyzed: "There are real retreats and false retreats. No matter what kind of retreat, those who are good at using troops will defend against pursuers and take all-round measures. Therefore, some can defeat the enemy on the battlefield, but they often underestimate the enemy when pursuing To be defeated.

therefore.Sun Tzu said, "Don't stop when you return to the teacher". Xu knows very well that Sun Can can use troops. Besides, his retreat this time is not a retreat of defeat, but a defeat of Liu Biao's reinforcements and a victory. Therefore, he cannot take it lightly.

If the opponent pretends to retreat, our army will definitely be fooled if he retreats; if he really retreats, the opponent must also be on guard, so he will put all his strength in the rear, Sun Can is more talented than you two, if he goes, he will be defeated. "

Liu Pan sneered: "Mr. Wen He has always been good for Sun Can. What is his intention? I think you have already bought Sun Can in advance, intending to be the buyer for glory."

Jia Xu never cared about what the world thought of him, and didn't care about Liu Pan's cynicism. He just said: "The general will lose if he pursues him, please think twice before acting."

In the end, Zhang Xiu still didn't grasp the desire in his heart, and under Liu Pan's persuasion, he ordered to pursue Sun Can's army.However, he also accepted Jia Xu's last request and only led [-] cavalry to pursue.

The generals, deputy generals and generals of each guard arrived one after another.Zhang Xiu shouted loudly: "Sun Can's army has been defeated, this is the best time for our army to defeat the enemy. If we win this battle, everyone will be rewarded."

After the simple swearing-in, immediately lead the soldiers and step on the horses.Like lightning, he chased after Sun Can.

However, Sun Can led the army to rush to Huainan, and suddenly a war horse flew from behind, causing smoke and dust to rise on the road.

After a while, the cavalryman pulled his horse up to Sun Can and reported to Sun Can: "Master Qi Bing, the enemy's [-] soldiers are trying to approach our army."

Sun Can smiled confidently and asked Zhang Liao to meet the enemy.

The two armies are getting closer and closer.

An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Zhang Xiu's heart. Suddenly, ten thick and long horse locks suddenly emerged from the ground.Zhang Xiu was skilled in equestrianism, and he dodged eight horse locks in a row. Finally, when he was about to jump the ninth lock, the horse's leg was broken and he fell to the ground.

Zhang Xiu was like this, and the soldiers behind him were even more embarrassed.

Under the high-speed running, they had no time to react.The crowd rushed into each other and squeezed together. Immediately, countless soldiers were squeezed down and trampled to death, and the formation became a mess. .

Before Zhang Xiujun fought, there were nearly a hundred casualties, and the formation was chaotic.

A cannon rang ahead, and the drums beat vigorously.

Zhang Liao swung his army to kill, and with an order, the soldiers behind moved forward slightly, trying not to leave unnecessary space, so that the momentum would be too scattered, unable to break through the opponent's soldiers, so that he himself fell into the opponent's formation.

War horses neigh.

Zhang Liao wanted to achieve the greatest effect with the least casualties.

He issued another order, and the rear cavalry divided another 1000 people, galloping out from the left and right wings, fighting for the initiative. Prologue to the death of Valinon.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dozens of war drums were beating at the same time. Zhang Liao commanded calmly and adjusted each soldier decisively.

Five thousand soldiers rushed towards Zhang Xiujun under the sound of exciting drums, no one hesitated at all.Zhang Liao's love for them, he took the lead in every battle, leading them to defeat the soldiers one after another, making them willing to die for Zhang Liao and Sun Can.

All of them are Bingzhou warriors.Bingzhou people are close to the foreign races in the north, and are often bullied by them, so they are fierce and bloodthirsty, but they are full of blood in addition to bloodthirsty.

Because they are used to being bullied, they deeply understand that only unity can drive out the alien race.Each of them can sacrifice for his comrades-in-arms and be stabbed for his comrades-in-arms.

During the Three Wars in Wancheng, more than 1000 Bingzhou wolf riders were buried in Wancheng.

Now is the best time for revenge.

Zhang Liao shouted: "Warriors, avenge the brothers who died in Wancheng."

The five thousand wolf riders shouted in unison, the most important thing for an excellent general is to understand the hearts of the soldiers under his command, they can raise the morale of the soldiers under their command anytime and anywhere.

There is no doubt that Zhang Liao is one of these generals.

This roar also represented the heartfelt voice of all the five thousand wolf riders. They were slaughtering wildly, what kind of iron riders from Xiliang, what kind of bravery in the world?
In the eyes of this group of avengers, they were completely vulnerable. In less than half an hour, nearly ten thousand Xiliang iron cavalry were defeated by Zhang Liao, and Zhang Xiu and Liu Pan fled one after another.
