Chapter 1147: Arrogance
After Wang Meng knocked on the door to report, he waited for a long time.
And inside the house, it's a different scene, speaking of which, being interrupted by a knock on the door at this time is definitely the most unpleasant time, but this time, it's a little different, this time, it's Joanna who is dissatisfied, not Zhang Fan, for Joanna, since she decided to stay with Zhang Fan, she has never blamed anyone, even in her heart, but this time, Joanna is really dissatisfied with Wang Meng who came to disturb her good things, of course, in addition to dissatisfaction, It's a pity, it's clear that it's going to be ...... right away
But it was Zhang Fan, but it was a mood that was finally relieved, not that he didn't want to take over the good things, but one was because of Joanna, and the other was that Zhang Fan understood that there was really no time left for him to do these things, and now Wang Meng came to knock on the door, not only did he find a reason to prevaricate, but more importantly, what Wang Meng said was also something that Zhang Fan was extremely concerned about, so he could only say sorry to Joanna in his heart, and secretly thought about compensating her in the future.
But speaking of which, it's not like this now, when Joanna came over last night, she was only wearing underwear, and now Wang Meng is in the living room outside, but it's unlikely that she wants to go back, and she can't let Wang Meng in, so Zhang Fan simply gave Joanna a look to let her continue to fall asleep, and then got dressed by herself, and was ready to open the door.
"Fan, wait a minute," just as Zhang Fan was about to open the door, Joanna's voice sounded.
Zhang Fan turned his head and looked at her suspiciously, not knowing why she was calling out to herself.
Joanna didn't speak, led Zhang Fan to a stool and asked him to sit down, and then walked behind him, combing his hair in the panic but not neatly groomed, speaking of which, Joanna is also a woman, even if she has been in the army and has little time to groom her hair, but this does not mean that she is not doing these things, and since she lived in Zhang's house, she still specially asked Ru Xue for this craft, so now, she combs Zhang Fan's hair and makes a bun, although the movements are a little jerky, But there was no panic and nothing wrong with it.
And Zhang Fan didn't mean to urge at all, he didn't care about delaying such a little time, and this was the first time Joanna had combed his hair, and he didn't want to lose her kindness, so he just sat there quietly, waiting for Joanna to comb his hair.
Speaking of which, it didn't take much time, after all, men's hair buns are really simple compared to women's, even Joanna is the first time to "fight", but in addition to hand life, it actually doesn't take much more time than those who are skilled.
After Joanna helped Zhang Fan take care of it, Zhang Fan stood up, turned around and held her hand, although there was still heat, but it had begun to cool down, and he was indeed a little distressed in his heart, he whispered: "You can sleep here more today, I'm afraid I have a lot of things to do today, I don't know when I'm free, it's very chaotic outside now, don't go out,"
In the face of Zhang Fan's advice, Joanna nodded obediently, and then went back to the still warm bed.
And Zhang Fan, straightened his clothes, opened the door and walked out, and closed the door again, he didn't want to disturb Joanna's rest.
Outside, Wang Meng waited for a long time, and even after he knocked on the door to report, the maid had already sent the washing things, but Zhang Fan hadn't come out yet, but Wang Meng was not in a hurry, after all, the news that came over was a good thing, and because of such good news, the originally tight time became a little freer.
Originally, at such a time, it was really commendable to be able to squeeze out this time, so it was natural to grasp it and discuss it quickly, but Wang Meng was not impatient, because now for them, even if they come up with a way, there is no way to do anything, after all, everything that has been arranged, now it all depends on what Liang Chao and they do, even if they have any new plans on their side, they can't pass it on at all in such a little time.
In this case, what can you do if you wait a little longer, not to mention, Wang Meng also thinks that Zhang Fan has been busy for so many months since he left the capital, even if he seems to be very relaxed, but after all, this is stressful, and it is not bad to relax and relax according to such an opportunity, but this time Wang Meng has deviated, and nothing has happened in it.
Finally, the door opened, and after Zhang Fan, who was neatly dressed, walked out, he closed the door again.
While going to wash, Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng: "I just heard that the palace was also full of people, and I thought something was going on, I just heard you say that there was good news from Yongning Mansion, what is going on?"
"It's today, Yongning sent a vanguard of two thousand people out," Wang Meng said to Zhang Fan with detailed information, "After General Liu received the order, he immediately ordered the people below to meet the enemy, during this time, General Liu was already prepared, so this time, none of the two thousand people ran away, all of them were annihilated by our army, and the casualties on our side were very few, only 100 people were killed in the battle, and only two or three hundred people were injured, this is definitely a great victory,"
Wiping his face with a towel, picking up the tea on the side and taking a sip, Zhang Fan looked at Wang Meng and asked, "Two thousand people, why did you send so many people over there," he didn't care about the issue of victory, after all, Liu Xian's 50,000 troops had been preparing for so long, if he couldn't deal with it freely, then there would be a problem.
"When I first heard it, I also felt strange," Wang Meng said, "But on the way here, I thought about it, but I came up with a possibility, I'm afraid it's just like what the adults guessed before, Yongning only sent out 2,000 people today, and that's what those two people meant,"
"What do those two people mean......," Zhang Fan heard Wang Meng say this, and immediately understood it after just a little thought in his mind, "You mean, those two people only sent these two thousand people, in fact, they just want to attract the eyes of other people," the so-called attraction does not only refer to the eyes of the imperial court, but also the eyes of those people in Yongning.
Wang Meng naturally understood what Zhang Fan meant, and continued: "I'm afraid that's the case, and the news that arrived early this morning, except for these two thousand people on the Yongning side, there was not a single soldier sent out at all, if these two thousand people are the vanguard, it is impossible to follow behind without reinforcements."
"And, it seems, those two people have also deceived the tribe below them,"
"Oh, how do you say this," Zhang Fan suddenly became curious, those two people deceived people for sure, although today's war happened, but in the final analysis, it was just a scam made by those two people, but Zhang Fan didn't care about this, but what Wang Meng said just now was obviously something else.
"After cleaning the battlefield after the battle, General Liu found something," Wang Meng said, "These two thousand people are obviously prepared, but now it seems that although they are not many in number, they may not be called pioneers, the arrows and rations brought by these two thousand people are enough for them to eat for more than ten days, if they are only pioneers, they will inevitably be followed by a large army, which is not necessary for them to carry so much baggage,"
"What do you mean...... Could it be that ......" Zhang Fan naturally understood Wang Meng's words, but he was even more surprised, "Those two people sent out so many thousand people, and they couldn't be the main force,"
After all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and who knows what will happen, so most people would rather take it with them than find out when they don't use it.
But the vanguard is different, the role of the vanguard is obvious, that is, to attack quickly and disrupt the enemy, of course, if the vanguard can defeat the results, it is a good thing, but generally speaking, the vanguard does not do this, they are just used for the army to talk about, and for the lineup of 20,000 people over there, these 2,000 people can indeed only be regarded as the vanguard.
However, the two thousand troops, the things they carried, were not like that at all, they were completely the appearance of the main force.
"I'm afraid that's it," Wang Meng nodded and said, "Although it is indeed unbelievable to say this, but the current situation, it seems that it can only be like this, but although things are like this, but the humble position is a little incomprehensible, the intention of these two people is so obvious, and sending such two thousand people out is completely to send their lives, why would those tribes below them agree?"
"If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that's the case," Zhang Fan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid those two people have such an idea, but how to get the people below to agree, they are not sure, but this time, they just gathered their troops and horses, and occupied Yongning Mansion without a single sword, an arrow, a soldier, and a soldier, I am afraid that it also made those people arrogant, they are afraid that this time it is really a surprise attack, and our side is not prepared at all,"
"However, General Liu's army had already assembled there at that time, and those people were blind," Wang Meng said.
"Sometimes, people are like this," Zhang Fan said, "As long as the start goes well, even if there are great difficulties in front of them, they all feel that they can pass it smoothly, but things in the world don't depend on what you think, this time it's a good thing, however, what I care more about is that you said that these two thousand people were all annihilated, is this Liu Xian's idea, or is it the idea of the generals who led the troops below,"
