"Then what are we waiting for? Zhang Fei can bring up to 10,000 troops this time. As long as the army goes out of the city to pursue, it will definitely destroy Zhang Fei's 10,000 troops." Wen Chou looked anxious. Hearing that Liu Jiajun would also have a large army coming, he was ready. Strike first to gain the upper hand.
Guo Tu shook his head. Zhang Fei was the vanguard of the siege in front of him. The army he led was mainly cavalry. Its mobility could only be described as fast. Even if Wen Chou led the entire army to attack, it would be difficult to catch up with Zhang Fei. Fly troops. Besides, if the army goes out to attack the city, the defense in the city will be weakened. If Zhang Fei draws the main force of our army away and allows another army to take advantage of the weakness, Huai County will be defeated. In addition to the battle a few days ago, Guo Tu still can't forget it. The two sides fought face to face, and Yuan Jun was completely defeated. Therefore, no matter what aspect, Guo Tu would not choose to take risks out of the city. With Huaicheng as a barrier, he was not afraid of Liu Jiajun.
"General, don't be reckless. Since Zhang Fei dares to bring an army of 10,000 people, of course he is confident. If our army goes into battle recklessly, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. If Zhang Fei's head is not captured by then, the city of Huai may not be saved." Guo Tu said plainly to his Wen Chou.
"I can't swallow this breath, I really want to cut Zhang Fei into pieces." Wen Chou said bitterly, looking at such a good opportunity in front of him, he was unwilling to do so. However, Guo Tu stopped him and Wen Chou had no choice but to obey.
Regarding Wen Chou's temper, Guo Tu shook his head. He knew very well that Wen Chou was a proud and arrogant person who wanted revenge. With such a bad temper, he should not be in the position of commander. Just because he was the first to follow Yuan Shao and was completely devoted to Yuan Shao. In addition, his martial arts skills were considered to be the highest among the generals in the Yuan family army. He was highly used by Yuan Shao, and his prestige was still higher than that of Guo Tu.
"General, you must remember that there are no grudges on the battlefield, only victory and defeat." After Guo Tu left these words, he strode towards the city. He just stepped down two steps and turned to look at the generals with a serious tone. He said, "If you want to be undefeated, I'll meet you at the city lord's mansion in half an hour."
Watching Guo Tu's back disappear from everyone's sight, Jiao Chu walked up to Wen Chou not far away and said, "General Wen, Mr. Gongze is too self-righteous. He thinks he has some talent ¡¡±
"Shut up." Wen Chou interrupted Jiao Chu in displeasure and glared at him, "Remember, you can't be rude to Mr. Gongze. Whatever you do to me in the future, you must do to Mr. Gongze, you know?"
"I know I know." Jiao Chu didn't know that Wen Chou would suddenly change, so he was so frightened that he nodded in agreement.
There is nothing wrong with Wen Chou being arrogant, but it is undeniable that he still respects literati. Take Guo Tu for example. Wen Chou knew that the other party's tone often made him unhappy, but he had to say that this was also a bitter taste for the other party.
"Okay, that's the end of the matter. We will meet at the City Lord's Mansion in half an hour." Wen Chou left a message and walked down the city to return to the City Lord's Mansion. When Jiao Huo saw Wen Chou leaving, he quickly followed him. Afterwards, he acted like a flatterer.
After Zhang Fei led his army to the place where Liu's army was stationed five miles away from Huai County, he allowed 10,000 troops to set up camp without any intention of attacking the city. , and seemed to know that Yuan Jun would not attack, so he took a nap in the big tent.
A few hours later, it was already dark. Finally, the Liu Jiajun troops arrived at Huai County. Xu Rong was not the only one who came this time. Huang Zhong also led his 20,000 powerful troops to Hanoi County. Among them, Zhu Ling led 5,000 troops to attack various counties in Hanoi.
"My lord, it's true that you don't believe me, Lao Zhang. In this small Huai County, does Brother Han Sheng still need to bring the Huwei Army in person?" Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Xu Rong and others sat down in the military tent. After discussing in the big tent, Zhang Fei complained.
Everyone kept laughing, and Huang Zhong couldn't help but stepped forward and patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder a few times: "Yide, when my lord sends me here this time, let me bring you a message. If you can capture Hanoi in half a month, you will be rewarded." You have a hundred jars of fine wine. But if we fail to attack, you will have to settle old and new accounts together, and you will bear the consequences."
Liu Long¡¯s so-called old score is that in the battle of Gaodu City, Zhang Fei privately led an army to pursue Wen Chou and suffered heavy casualties from his ambush. When Liu Long learned about this, he was so angry that he had trouble sleeping and eating, and even sent someone to recall Zhang Fei to Taiyuan to punish him. Later, Liu Ye tried to persuade him, and although he was ambushed in this battle, he still pursued Wen Chou's army for more than a hundred miles, killing 7,000 enemies and taking tens of thousands of prisoners. It can be considered that he has passed the test, and only then did Liu Long let Zhang Fei go.
Upon hearing the second half of Huang Zhong's words, Zhang Fei's face suddenly fell, and he couldn't help complaining, "My lord is too fussy. It's not that he has already paid off his merits, so why are he going to turn over the old score again? Besides, what if Wen Chou and his gang were guarding the city?" It would be difficult to conquer even if we go out, let alone half a month, even a month or two."
At this time, Zhang Fei still had the majestic Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide who regarded thousands of troops as nothing. It seems that he is still quite afraid of Liu Long's punishment, and he is also a rough and careful person. He knows that Huai County is difficult to punish.?.
"Brothers, think about it quickly. I don't know how to lure Wen Chou's army out of the city, annihilate it in one fell swoop, and capture Huai County." Zhang Fei was anxious and looked at Xu Rong and Huang Zhong, but they only shook their heads and laughed. It was as if he was watching Zhang Fei's joke.
"Now Zhu Ling is leading an army of 5,000 to attack the other counties in Hanoi, and he will definitely capture it in a few days. As for Huai County, the number of soldiers and horses is at least 50,000, and the former general Wang Kuang has also surrendered to Yuan Shao. It can be said that Huai County is The soldiers and horses are strong, and they are as solid as gold. It is difficult to attack by force." Huang Zhong sat down and said.
Xu Rong raised the tea cup in his hand and stared at the tea in the cup. "Today, Yide led an army of ten thousand to station outside the city, but Wen Chou did not see his army coming out of the city to attack. It can be seen that Guo Tu prepared to defend to the death and used defense as a means to defeat our army. . The walls of Huai County are high and thick, and there is a moat under the city. In addition, there are more soldiers and horses than our army attacking the city. It will be difficult to capture the city in half a month. "
"It can't be lured out, and it can't be attacked by force. What you two have said is in vain." Zhang Fei gritted his teeth in anger, sat down and ignored the two of them.
Huang Zhong and Xu Rong couldn't help but glance at each other. Xu Rong smiled and said, "Brother Huang, it's better not to hide the truth from Yide, otherwise his fiery temper will overturn the Chinese army's tent."
Xu Rongyi opened his mouth, and Huang Zhong did not hide it. He hurriedly said to Zhang Fei, "Yide, actually, when I came here, my lord asked me to bring a secret weapon. This thing can help our army capture Huaicheng."
"Secret weapon." When Zhang Fei heard this, he turned to look at Huang Zhong, "What kind of weapon is this? It can help our army capture Huaicheng."
"This thing is outside the tent. You'd better come with me and see it." Huang Zhong didn't tell Zhang Fei, but asked Zhang Fei to go out with him and see it.
"Let's go, then what are you waiting for? If we can really capture Huai County in half a month, then the hundred jars of fine wine my lord will reward me will be half of Brother Han Sheng's share." Zhang Fei was already impatient and stood up before the stool became hot. He got up, pulled Huang Zhong and walked outside the tent. Seeing this, Xu Rong could not help but shake his head and smile
