Chapter 170: Zhang Liao

When Li Yan arrived, Tian Xin was dancing in front of the camp with the sun and moon lance in both hands.

Compared with before strengthening, the front and rear weights of the long lance after the initial strengthening are more balanced, the wind breaking sound is whistling when swinging, and the lance rod will have a slight arc when swinging violently, and the feel is quite moist.

"Thanks to the prince and the marquis, the criminal general Li Yan came to listen to the order."

Li Yan stepped forward and bowed for a long time, holding his silver helmet in his arms, his hair was slightly messy, and the dust on his face was stained with sweat, looking downcast.

Nearly 100 civilian soldiers behind him all stepped forward to salute with helmets, Tian Xin handed the sun and moon lance to Yu Zhong and took two steps forward and said, "I have ordered the battalion soldiers to make food, and you will eat with me." ”

"Yes, I will obey the orders of the prince."

Li Yan bowed again, Tian Xin stepped forward and raised his hand to pick him up: "No need to be polite, I know that I have the talent to break through the formation, but I don't have the talent to unify tens of thousands of troops." I also need to rely on the general to protect my army, to coordinate the armies, and to destroy the thieves! ”

"This ...... Yan is the general of the defeated army, the prince is invincible in the world, how can Yan Hede? ”

"Now when the army is about to be defeated, the general and I should not see each other, it is the time for you and me to show our strengths and cooperate sincerely."

Tian Xin took Li Yan's trembling left hand and walked to the camp: "I have actually heard of the name of the general a long time ago, and I admire it very much. I was born in a poor family and was promoted by bravery, and the general was also a poor man, known for his ability to serve as a minister in Jingyi Erzhou. In the past, Liu Biao only used generals as the talents of a hundred miles, and Liu Zhang only loved the talents of generals and troops, and I thought that the two of them were stupid. ”

"Only His Majesty knows the general's ability and makes great use of it. Even if I don't believe the rumors, I believe in His Majesty's vision. Therefore, the general must not shirk, who can protect the army for me today, besides the general? ”

Li Yan shed tears: "The prince and the marquis are confident in the defeated general, and the defeated general can only live and die with the prince." ”

"Okay, all the equipment and food in the camp are supported by the guards."

Arriving at the buried stove area while speaking, Tian Xin's two thousand parts, and the more than 1,000 Han soldiers who participated in it had already prepared a pot of rice and cooked a lot of horse broth, which made Li Yan's subordinates, who had been without food for a day, feel good in their mouths and speed up their pace to get closer.

During the meal, the middle and senior military officials gathered together, Tian Xin and Li Yan were brutally reorganized, and Huang Zhong's rout was all incorporated and rushed into Li Yan's headquarters.

Li Yan's department was also a small battalion system, and after the reorganization, the original establishment of military officers remained unchanged, and each small battalion was expanded from more than 700 people to 1,000 people, and there were 14 battalions of 1,000 people.

After Tian Xinyi confirmed the fourteen battalion commanders, the military commanders, and the fourteen temporarily appointed overseers, he began to plan the counterattack.

Li Yan carried a large camp defense map spread out, and said: "Junhou, Zhang Wenyuan has entered the camp abandoned by me, and Huang Han and I have been promoted to attack Jiangxia. Now that I think about it, first, I am arrogant and defenseless, and second, the troops are eager to invade, and there is no extra manpower to strengthen the fortifications on the back of the abdomen. Only then did the enemy succeed in one blow, and Huang Han was killed. ”

"Zhang Wen came from afar, and he will rest his soldiers today, and it is difficult to drive the soldiers to repair and strengthen the eastern camp. If our army counterattacks, the east is where the opportunity lies. ”

While speaking, Guan Yu's knight galloped to the front of the camp, holding up the edict in his hand: "Where is Tian Junhou?" ”

The original Li Yan battalion, Zhang Liao was urging the soldiers to increase the east of the camp, Li Yan's camp was not an isolated one, but a group of barracks.

Wang Ling was in charge of supervising the cultivation, his expression was scattered, and he sat under the pergola to enjoy the coolness: "The thief army has lost its fear, and it really can't understand the thoughts of the Marquis of Jinyang." The Wu army has already rushed to the Hankou camp, and our army is lagging behind, and I am afraid that Jiangdong will laugh shamefully. ”

The nephew and Dianjun ordered Hu Jun to hand him tea: "Uncle, Jiangdong is an enemy country after all, and the Marquis of Jinyang is so cautious when he cherishes the country's soldiers and horses." ”

There were no outsiders left and right, Wang Ling laughed: "The Marquis of Jinyang has no shortage of military merits, but which one of the big and small military officials is not lacking?" Showing goodwill to Your Majesty, where did you put the whole army and soldiers? ”

After the three most important heads of the general Huang Zhong, the Yin of the Dian army, and the general Liu Min fell into the hands of the Wu army, which of the Wei army was not angry?

But Li Yan ran too fast, the Wei army drove the rout and rushed over, Li Yan immediately decided to run, but confused the Wei army.

The Han army has been famous in the past two years, and the defeat of Huang Zhong's troops first made the Wei army question, and Li Yan retreated simply, as if it was a ploy to lure the enemy into the depths.

The Wei army did not dare to pursue deeply, entered and occupied Li Yan's camp, and lacked relevant war materials, so they could only let Guan Yu and Liu Feng's troops retreat from Jukou.

The Wei army did not move, Han Dang and Pan Zhang on the north bank were in a hurry to clean up the battlefield, and Xu Sheng was disabled again, so he could only watch Guan Yu retreat calmly.

After repeatedly confirming that the Han army did not divide its troops to attack Wuyang Pass to cut off the Wei army's return route, Zhang Liao still insisted on strengthening the camp and refused to pursue the Han army with the Wu army, which made Wang Ling really unable to figure it out.

The main job of the protector Xue Yi is to coordinate, and the actual supervisor of this expedition is Wang Ling.

This is also the first time that Wang Ling has participated in the war as a high-ranking military official, how can Zhang Liao's restrained style of play satisfy him?

When the two nephews and uncles were chatting, the big tent of the Chinese army beat the drums, and after hearing the drums, the two nephews and uncles rushed to the big tent to discuss the matter.

Zhang Liao raised the tent, and after the drum beat three times, the generals, the generals, the lieutenants, the leading captains, and the captains near the big camp had all gathered and sat in the big tent.

Everyone looked excited, thinking that Zhang Liao was going to send troops to pursue.

Zhang Liao walked in from outside the tent, not wearing armor, and was followed by two people, one holding the festival conferred by Cao Pi, and the other holding the golden seal of Zhang Liao's former general.

Walking to the top, Zhang Liao sat down with solemn eyebrows, looked around at the people, and only after seeing the smiles on the faces of these people disappeared did he say: "Deng Zhan, the general of Fenwei, pursued to Hankou without authorization, and was killed by the enemy general Tian Xin, and most of the officials in the department were beheaded, and there were few people alive. ”

"Tian Xin?"

"How is that possible!"

There was an immediate uproar, and Wang Ling was angry: "Junhou, didn't Wu Jun say that Tian Xin was seriously injured? ”

A kind of shame and anger of being deceived and betrayed arises spontaneously.

Zhang Liao didn't want to go into details, so he heard Wang Ling ask: "Junhou, how did Deng Fenwei lose?" Or maybe the enemy was confused by the battle flag of Tian Xin. ”

Seeing that Wang Ling did not give up, and many generals did not give up, Zhang Liao did not raise his eyelids: "Tian Xin rode alone to break through the formation, beheaded Deng Fenwei under the horse, and rushed for a while. Deng Fenwei's troops were defeated, and the knights under Tian Xin's command were killed. He was greedy for merit, and he had reported to me for his merit and beheaded 700 levels before, and I expected that most of them would be demoted to the first rank. ”

He looked around at the generals again: "Our army went out of Wuyang Pass, not to defeat the Han army, but to solve the crisis in Jiangdong." Now that the crisis has been solved, why should our army do more killings and waste the lives of its soldiers? ”

Wang Ling was unwilling and asked again: "Junhou, where is Wu Jun?" ”

Thirty miles away from Hankow, he was also hesitant. He had already sent a letter to me, saying that our army was willing to be the successor, and he attacked the Hankou camp. ”

Zhang Liao said and took out the silk book sent by Han Dang and handed it to Wang Ling, Wang Ling read it and then transferred it to the protector Xue Yi, Xue Yi asked: "How do you want to reply?" ”

Wang Ling stared at Liao's mouth even more, eager to hear the answer he wanted to hear.

Zhang Liao saw that everyone was looking at him, but he didn't hesitate to pick up the yellow and green porcelain cup on the table and take a sip of tea soup, and said with a smile: "I naturally agreed." Lu Zhao, Feng Kai? ”

"The last general!"

The two of them stood up, and their respective soldiers also stood up.

I heard Zhang Liao say: "The two of you led your headquarters to Hankou, and retreated to the camp after nightfall. The armies in the battalion packed up their bags, and when Lu Zhao and Feng Kai's two armies converged, they returned to Wuyang Pass together. ”

Everyone was reluctant, and Wang Ling said: "Prince, if the Wu army wins, it will despise our army and damage the face of the country; If the Wu army is defeated, it will damage the prestige of the imperial court. ”

"What, the king has another opinion?"

Zhang Liao's face was expressionless, and Wang Ling hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Don't dare, the lower officials obey orders." ”

"We will obey the order."
