Chapter 262: Mandate of Heaven

The sky was getting dark, and Ma Chao led the green-maned horse to wash the horse by the water.

Ma Liang, the left guard, came to ask: "Zhao Gong, please also convey the slogan of the night ban." ”

"Night ban?"

Ma Chao looked up at the silhouette of the crescent moon that appeared in the night sky, and after a little consideration, he said: "Take the lamb and the bullock as the password." ”

After a slight pause, Ma Chao wanted to say something, opened his mouth and couldn't spit out a sound, but he still chose to keep his mouth shut.

Ma Liang was also indifferent, and turned around to select the night patrol officers to convey the night ban order.

As the night shrouded, the Wei army gathered the sergeants into the camp, and after the night ban was carried out, Zhang Liao was promoted to the account.

Because Sun Deng, the prince of Wu and the general of Huya, led the army to the front line of Wankou, it was reasonable to hold a banquet and get to know each other.

General Huya is a noble, long-term inheritance of the army number, in the Wei State, where there are many generals, General Huya can also be among the three grades, which shows the gold content of this number.

Counting Tian Xin's case, Cao Pi's worship of Sun Deng as the general of the Sanpin Huya, how many meanings there are, it is estimated that Cao Pi himself knows.

Now look at General Huya, it seems that he is a first-class general, second only to a heavy general.

Without beating drums at night for no reason, Sun Deng walked in the passage of the silent camp, only to feel that there were many fierce beasts lurking in the darkness around him, as if they wanted to choose people to devour.

His military commander, Han Zong, pressed the hilt of his sword with his left hand, and clamped Sun Deng's helmet in his arms with his right hand.

Han Zong wore a white scarf on his head, and there were many examples of Wu Junli wearing filial piety like him.

The military officials led Sun Deng to sit down, Han Zong stood behind Sun Deng with his sword, and the Wei generals and colonels in the hall assembled.

Everyone closed their eyes and recuperated, and there was no conversation, and after Sun Deng felt a little unwell, he closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Not long after, Zhang Liao wore gilded Mingguang armor and walked in from the side door of the hall, the nail leaves rattled, and Yan Pu, Li Xu, and Sun Deng also got up and bowed their hands: "Former general." ”

"Sit down."

Zhang Liao waved his hand casually, put the golden helmet on the table in front of him, and sat on a low stool, this thing is also called Hu bed, and there is also a kind called Maza.

As Zhang Liao sat down, the hall was filled with the sound of the sound of the nails, and the generals of the Wei army sat down one after another.

Zhang Liao spoke: "Ma Chao blocked the flow of water, and wanted to accumulate the autumn flood to flood the eastern battalions. I have heard a lot of troubles from the officials of the three battalions in the east, is this true or false? ”

Yan Pu, the general of the East Battalion of Sipin Zhenwei, the guard of the East First Battalion, the commander of the East First Battalion, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Lugong, and the guard of the East Second Battalion, Ping Yu Zhonglang, and Li Xu, the three of them watched everyone's attention.

LΓΌ Gong concurrently served as the commander of the third battalion in the east and was familiar with the affairs of the battalion, so he replied: "What the former general said is true. ”

Zhang Liao asked: "What does Lu Yuanjun think should be done?" ”

Lu Gong laughed, knelt down straight, and bowed deeply: "I am willing to obey the dispatch of the former general." ”

Yan Pu and Li Xu also straightened their waists and waited for their orders: "I am willing to obey the dispatch of the former general." ”

"That being the case, at the second watch tonight, the third battalion in the east selected the sharp soldiers, and Li Xu led thousands of elite soldiers to attack the Ma Chao camp at night, in order to destroy the dam. If it can't be destroyed, make a feint. ”

Li Xu got up and clenched his fists heavily: "The last general will take the order." ”

Zhang Liao looked at Yan Pu again, Yan Pu got up and bowed his hand to listen, and listened to Zhang Liao's instructions: "General Zhenwei commanded the East Battalion and the remaining soldiers of the East Second Battalion with a total of 6,000. If I see the Han army coming to fight in the west and stand firm to fight against it, I will send troops to help in the battle. ”

Yan Pu took a deep breath, he had made up his mind in his heart, and said in a solemn voice: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Zhang Liao's eyes fell on Lu Gong: "Lu envoy Jun brought more torches and went southeast to meet the enemy. When more than 1,000 other divisions were divided to cooperate with Li Xu to attack Ma Chao's flank. Lu Yuanjun led the rest of the troops to hold more torches and arrange suspicious formations. When the sky is about to dawn, choose the opportunity to enter the battle. ”

LΓΌ Gong, Li Xu, and Yan Pu received the prepared order for the transfer of troops, which was written in a long and wide large bamboo slip.

Basically, the content of the troop transfer is written on a bamboo slip, and there are also the signatures of the relevant generals and colonels.

For example, Zhang Liao's former army and Cao Hong's newly formed guard army, although they both use such large bamboo slips, there are certain differences, so they are easy to identify.

The three of them left, and Zhang Liao's eyes fell on the face of Le Qi, who was in charge of controlling the two defenders of the middle front camp and the middle and rear camps: "The second rank of the middle road is marching and stealthily setting up an ambush. Its Beifu soldiers rescued Ma Chao, released its forward, and slammed the relay army, be sure to cut it off! ”

Le Qi responded to the order, took the palm-wide, one-foot-eight-inch-long military book and left quickly.

Subsequently, the four long-trained ambush troops of Dian Man, Zhang Hu, Li Zhen, and Wen Qin were also sent out by Zhang Liao, and their Chinese Qin Department was a cavalry army, responsible for detouring from the edge of the westernmost hilly area, patrolling Tian Xin to sneak up on Wankou on the mountain road.

Last year, Tian Xin was around Tuntian for half a year, and the Wei army knew about the small mountain roads, and the Han army also knew about them.

Nine armies before and after the battle, Zhang Liao led the mobile troops to act as reserves, leaving the necessary left-behind personnel everywhere, as well as Sun Deng, the newly arrived and embarrassing Huya Army of the Great Wei.

Zhang Liao, who could stop Jiangdong's crying, was in front of him, and Sun Dengzheng was hesitant to ask for battle.

I heard Zhang Liao say: "The Huya Army's thousand-mile journey is bound to be tiring, and there are quite a lot of incidents tonight, so why not move to Kunyang City to rest?" ”

Zhang Liaoliao said so, and Sun Deng had no choice but to get up and give his hand: "Obey the order." ”

Sun Deng's etiquette was decent, but Zhang Liao had no sensory changes, and said perfunctorily: "State affairs are at the head, and it is inconvenient to entertain tonight." ”

"Yes, the last general will urge the officials to move to Kunyang."

Sun Deng resigned, and Zhang Liao's subordinates handed over the relevant marching orders to Sun Deng, and Sun Deng confirmed that the format, time, and place were correct before he gave a salute and retired.

Zhang Liao sent Sun Deng away with a calm gaze and asked the protector Wu Zhou: "Wujun, is Sun Quan sincere?" ”

"Our army has won a great victory in this battle, Sun Quan will unite with the Han army, and this Sun family is sincere."

Wu Zhou wrote a lot of edicts, and gently waved his right wrist: "How can the general conclude that Ma Chao and Tian Xiaoxian are not in harmony?" ”

This is also Zhang Liao's old partner, in order to let Zhang Liao play unrestricted, there was Xue Yi first, and now Cao Pi sent the Imperial History and Nanchang Hou Wuzhou to Zhang Liao as a protector.

Treating Wu Zhou, Zhang Liao is still more respectful, and he must use a humble title when he speaks: "The servant Wen Tian Xiaoxian is concerned about the words of his descendants, and his people often say that the six classics are all history, and they have never respected Confucianism and celebrities. This person wants to pass on the generosity, Ma Chao is the Duke of Zhao, how dare he be with him? ”

Zhang Liao sneered: "The world has been in turmoil for more than 30 years, and the officials, soldiers and civilians have been killed and injured. Studying nature is like raising it in the hands of a woman. ”

"Otherwise, this person is extremely talented and should not be underestimated."

Wu Zhou has another opinion: "I heard that his wife was pregnant for the anniversary, and she did not give birth in December. ”

Destiny can be had, but it is even more important to fight.

Everyone likes fortune telling, just to ask for a yearning for a better life.

There are no fools in troubled times, and the living people believe in the ethereal destiny, and at the same time believe that the destiny is to be fought for.

If you don't fight, the destiny on your body will naturally not be saved.

Zhang Liao has always respected Wu Zhou, but when he heard this word of destiny, he fell silent.

Tian Xin twice saved the great cause of the Han army from the time of collapse, once for Guan Yu to defend Jiangling, and once for Liu Bei to defend Hankou.

If this is not destiny, then what?

If this is the destiny of heaven, Tian Xin is so unrestrained and squandering, there will always be a time when the oil runs out and the lamp runs out.

It's just that in the face of this kind of enemy with a destiny, no one knows when this destiny will collapse and dissipate.

After a little silence, Zhang Liao diverted the topic and went to the Wankou City Wall with Wu Zhou to watch the battle up close.

The sight is good during the day, and it is difficult for the army to gather back after it is deployed, let alone at night.

The decisive battle in the night is either a big defeat or a big victory, and there are very few draws.
