As soon as Zhang Liao's words came out, Xu Chu was a little angry at that time!

He angrily thrust his knife into the ground and shouted, "No! ”

Although Xu Chu's expression was annoyed, it looked very cute in Zhang Liao's eyes.

Zhang Liao couldn't hold back his joy and said, "General Zhongkang, why do you think this is not possible?" ”

Xu Chu turned his hand and pointed to the head of the city, and said: "Chang'an is in front of you, the prime minister asked you and me to come to inquire about the situation of the enemy army, you walked around the city, and you didn't even try it, you have to withdraw your troops, this is not afraid of the enemy!" ”

Xu Chu said something straight to Zhang Liao.

He shook his head helplessly, and said: "Zhongkang, it's not that I'm cowardly, it's just that this matter really needs to be considered in the long run, I carefully observed Chang'an City all morning, and I saw that this city was carefully arranged, which is the only time I have seen it in my life, if it is attacked, there will be huge casualties...... Although life and death are common things on this battlefield, the soldiers are all elites who have followed the prime minister for many years, and it is not worth it if they are allowed to die like this. ”

Xu Chu said angrily: "How do you know that they are going to die?" What if the soldiers bring down the city? ”

Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

This is really heartless, the entire Chang'an city is arranged by Hao Zhao like an iron bucket, attacking it will die, and what can be said that it can't be defeated......

"In short, I said I couldn't fight, but I just couldn't." Zhang Liao didn't want to quarrel with Xu Chu, but just said his thoughts very plainly.

Xu Chu wanted to tighten his teeth, looked at Zhang Liao with a smile, and suddenly said: "Then what if a certain family is beaten hard?" ”

Zhang Liao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Hard beating? That's not going to work. The prime minister entrusted me with the responsibility of commanding this army and horses, and I will inevitably perform the duties of the generals, and the three armies will respect my orders, General Zhongkang...... I'm sorry. ”

"You ......" Xu Chu's angry lips trembled, but there was no way to refute it.

It was not easy for Xu Chu for Zhang Liao to take anyone out, but he moved the potter out, and Xu Chu was out of business.

Not far away, at the head of Chang'an City, a young general stood with Zhong Xuan, carefully observing Zhang Liaojun in the distance.

When he was young, he saw that the soldiers and horses under the command of Zhang Liao were traveling farther and farther, and gradually drove out of everyone's eyes.

In the end, when the Jinling army gradually walked away, the young general at the head of the city couldn't help but raise his hand fiercely to hammer the battlements of the city wall, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

Zhong Xuan's beard was smooth, and he sighed: "It's really a pity, there are really many capable people under the command of the pottery merchant, I can't imagine that this pioneer general who led the troops to come, actually did not advance but retreated, and led people away, this mind and determination are absolutely beyond the reach of people." ”

Hao Zhao didn't open it like Zhong Xuan, he turned his head to look at him, and said, "If I don't come to fight the city defense that I have arranged, won't it be a waste of my hard work?" ”

Zhong Xuan laughed and said, "General Hao, you are really too young, you are naïve, how can the potters not come to fight Chang'an City now that they have captured Hangu Pass?" Don't look at this wave of Jinling army in a hurry, but sooner or later, the potters will inevitably lead a large army to come to fight! At that time, it will depend on your ability, and your city defense will be useful sooner or later. ”

Hao Zhao nodded depressedly, and then sighed helplessly.

His eyes when he looked at Zhang Liao's troops were still full of regret and reluctance.

……

Zhang Liao and Xu Chu returned to Hanguguan and asked the pottery merchant to inquire about the results of their trip to Luoyang.

As soon as Xu Chu saw the potter, he angrily complained to the potter, saying that Zhang Liao was timid, and when he arrived at the city of Chang'an, he pulled the chain, and did not dare to lead the troops to rush up to fight.

After listening to Xu Chu's chattering complaints, the potter couldn't help but be happy.

"You put all the blame on him, so why don't you fight yourself?"

Xu Chu glared: "It's not you who made trouble!" Let him be the main general, a certain family wants to fight, he won't let him, what can I do? ”

The potter laughed and sighed, "Fortunately, that's the case." ”

With that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Liao.

"Why not fight?"

Zhang Liao first hugged his fist at the potter, and then took out a pair of leather drawings from his arms.

"What is this?"

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "This is the map of Chang'an's defense that the last general has been around Chang'an City for half a day, carefully observed, and roughly drawn overnight. ”

When the potter heard this, his spirit was shocked.

He hurriedly took the pittu to the table and unfolded it, then looked down.

The smile on the potter's face froze suddenly.

"It's ...... What spell? ”

Zhang Liao walked up to the potter and said, "It's not a charm, this is a map, a city defense map!" ”

Xu Chu also walked to the potter's side, took a look, and couldn't help laughing.

"City defense map? Do you call it a city? A certain family can draw a foot better than you. ”

With that, he lifted his feet and shook them happily.

The potter glanced at Xu Chu and said, "Put away your big pig's trotters." ”

Then he looked at the ashamed Zhang Liao and said, "It's okay, in this world, no one is proficient in painting skills from the beginning, you can make persistent efforts in the future." ”

After that, the potter stretched out his hand and pointed to the bells and whistles on the pit, and said, "General Zhang will help me explain?" ”

Zhang Liao coughed heavily, and then began to explain for the potter.

He tipped his hand back and forth on the pitt, explaining it to the potter one by one.

As Zhang Liao explained and explained, the potter's brows became tighter and tighter.

He let out a long sigh and began pacing back and forth around the table.

When Xu Chu saw the potter's appearance, he couldn't help but wonder: "Prime Minister, why are you like a cage?" ”

The potter sighed and said, "If it's really like Zhang Liao said, this Chang'an doesn't look like it's easy to fight...... Hao Zhao does have two strokes, and it is really admirable to be able to hold the city to this extent. ”

Xu Chu snorted and said, "The city I went to see with him, why didn't a certain family see it?" ”

Hearing this, the potter smiled slightly and said, "I didn't see it, so I have to learn more......

Zhang Liao said: "Prime Minister, how are you?" ”

The potter pondered for a moment and said, "Don't rush to make a conclusion first, where are the princes of Guanzhong now?" ”

Zhang Liao and Xu Chu looked at each other.

The potter knew that they did not know, so he said, "Go back and rest, and I will send for you when you return." Let's go get some rest. ”

"No."

After the two left, the pottery merchant ordered someone to find Guo Jia, told him about the matter, and asked him about the situation of the princes in Guanzhong.

Guo Jia is in charge of the school administration, and the news is naturally more well-informed.

"The princes of Guanzhong are naturally in Chang'an City now."

The potter frowned: "It's all in Chang'an?" Do? ”

"Of course, it's to help defend the city and defend you." Guo Jia smiled and said, "What else are you doing?" Drinking party? Zhong Miao is stupid, spending money to support them in vain! ”

The potter gently tapped the table with his hand and said, "How can you let them leave Luoyang?" ”

"This is simple, you garrison Hangu Pass, don't launch an attack on Chang'an for the time being, after a long time, Zhong Xuan will naturally send them back to their respective territories."

"Why?"

"How fresh are you asking, are you happy to treat a group of people who eat and drink for nothing every day and don't work?"
