Chapter 1441: The Battle of Xuzhou (38)
Zhou Cang and Guan Hai are gone, Guan Yu looked at their backs, expressionless, to tell the truth, saying this before the war will inevitably increase the morale of others, but this is by no means deliberately suppressing the two, as for whether it will affect the morale of the army, especially before the big war Guan Yu must have considered it, otherwise he would not do anything to disturb the morale of the army.
The current situation, whether it is Guan Yu or Liu Lan, has actually found something, that is, with a series of victories, both soldiers and generals are a little arrogant, feeling that their combat effectiveness is the first in the world, and everyone is vulnerable in front of them, but Guan Yu has analyzed it very clearly after the second battle of Xuzhou, not that they are really invincible, but that they have not encountered a real strong enemy.
It's like the Guards Heavy Armor Army and the Dragoon Army, aren't they suffering heavy losses in the battle with the trapped camp, and the Langya Army was also defeated by the Cao Army, so this situation is a microcosm, but the arrogance of serving both soldiers and generals has not changed much, so Guan Yu must let a few generals under his account be cautious, when facing the enemy, whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shu, can not be careless, the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, Yuan Shu has lost so many times, if you really regard him as a weak brigade, then it is likely to be shocked in the end.
Shou Chunjun, you can say that he is a soldier who is now recruited, what combat effectiveness can the farmer who just threw down the hoe have, but don't forget that the current Shouchun Army has no way back, such an opponent is actually the most terrible, he has no way to retreat, compared to them, they are more eager for victory, under this premise, if there is any light enemy rash move, it is likely to suffer a fiasco, you must know that the enemy's soldiers may not be elite, but their generals are experienced in a hundred battles, once there is any opportunity, They won't let it go easily, because they don't have the capital.
In the past, I might have looked ahead and backwards, but it was because there was a way back if I lost, but now it is different, and if I lose, it will be all gone, so whether it is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes or willing to cut my body, it is a factor that the Setshan camp does not have now.
When you become famous, you will be penniless, what you care about is reputation, and what he wants is just to live, to pull you down to live, so the general master duel, when you meet such a hairy boy, you will not easily compete with him, no matter whether you win or lose, it will make him famous.
This is quite like when Guan Yu first joined the army, starting from a pawn, to be honest, with Guan Yu's reputation in the rivers and lakes and among the rangers at that time, the pawn was talented, but under the circumstances at that time, in fact, whether it was him or Liu Lan, in the eyes of almost everyone in this world, they were just unknown juniors, but because of this, they were able to fight all the way, and almost achieved today's achievements with the momentum of sweeping everything.
At what time, they are indomitable and fearless, why, just like the main mother Zhen Jiang said at the time, because you have nothing, you are not afraid of losing, it is a big deal to start over, and this is definitely an important reason why they succeeded, but such a victory has lasted too long.
It's been so long that they can't remember when the last defeat was, and because of this, both Liu Lan and Guan Yu are becoming more and more aware that such an undefeated streak will not last long, because no one can win undefeated for a long time, so they must be careful and careful, otherwise everything they have worked hard for so many years will come to naught.
The day of defeat finally came, but the partial defeat in the second battle of Xuzhou did not play a role in alerting, and did not make the inflated officers and soldiers recognize themselves, so he could only remind his generals in this way, which was never possible before.
In the past, Guan Yu instilled in the generals would only be that they were invincible, and no one was their opponent, so that they could face all the enemies with the attitude of a strong man, but after all, it was a special period, if these words were exchanged, then they would not have today's achievements.
Therefore, encouragement and suppression must be flexibly mastered, and at this point, Guan Yu, who was originally an ordinary soldier, naturally understands the subtleties better.
Zhang Fei made a special trip to find Guan Yu to drink, but soon he had to return to Guangling, there was no other choice, but it was impossible to let him stay in Guangling, he set his sights on consideration, even Shouchun.
Zhang Fei was greatly rewarded during the second Battle of Xuzhou for the raid on Shouchun, and it was the first merit, although the price paid by his troops in this battle was very small compared to the Xuzhou Army, and the enemy army destroyed was also pitiful, but the strategic significance was extremely significant, if it were not for his raid, the Shouchun Army would not have been able to transfer back, in that case, the Battle of Xuzhou would have been defeated, so Zhang Fei had the sweetness in this matter, and then the Battle of Xuzhou, his first thought was not how to defend Xuzhou at all, Instead, he used his brains in the matter of raiding Shouchun, which can be said to have made him develop a routine.
Of course, he didn't dare to hide from Liu Lan to attack Shouchun, so after learning the lord's order to Guan Yu when he was worried about it this time, he couldn't wait to return to Guangling County when Guan Yu set off for Wu County, he wanted to ask Guan Yu for orders as soon as possible to attack Shouchun, this time he would not give Shouchun any chance, he not only wanted to take Shouchun, but also wanted to eliminate Zhang Xun together.
For this reason, after he returned to Guangling, he ordered the deputy general Zong Kou to gather men and horses, although Zong Kou agreed, but it was a show, he knew that the lord would never agree to Zhang Fei's invitation to fight, sure enough, Liu Lan's reply severely criticized Zhang Fei, which made him complain in front of a group of generals in the military camp, scolding the heavens and the earth, complaining about the lord's partiality, and complaining that he had suffered injustice
However, everyone has long been surprised by Zhang Fei's performance, not to mention in front of them, even in front of the lord Liu Lan, if there is no opportunity to send troops, he is also full of complaints, so everyone just listens, no one takes it seriously, otherwise, life in the military camp will be boring.
Everyone didn't react, so that Zhang Fei was angry, he was originally depressed, seeing that they were like this now, he was angry, he was furious, he blasted everyone out, and almost moved the whip again, for Zhang Fei's demon, everyone was apprehensive, when this person turned his face, he didn't care about the kindness of the past at all, and he really beat it, but after the anger disappeared, he was shy to compensate for it, and when he encountered such a future, he had to forgive, but this kind of situation happened once or twice, and it was too much, and whoever changed it would be dissatisfied, But Zhang Fei didn't know it yet.
He chased out directly with the whip, looking for the target, and the whip he raised was falling towards one of them, but it suddenly stopped, it turned out that he found that the person was actually Zhang Ping, and the whip raised said that it was impossible to fall again.
What is Zhang Ping, that is Zhang Zheng's son, the old brother died on the battlefield, leaving such a son, he can beat anyone, but this kid is the only one who treats him as his own, and would rather beat himself than move him at all, the whip was thrown casually, and said angrily: "What the hell are you doing here, didn't you let you go to the city to cooperate with Zhang Nan to defend the city?" ”
Zhang Ping laughed, shook the two jars of wine in front of Zhang Fei's eyes, and said, "General, the last general made two good jars of wine in Guangling, and I didn't send them to you all the time." ”
Seeing the wine jar being carried by Zhang Ping in front of him, Zhang Fei's eyes straightened, and he hurriedly pulled Zhang Ping into the handsome tent, and said with a smile: "Count your kid as filial piety, and I know that I love your uncle." Zhang Fei took the wine jar, opened the seal, smelled the aroma of wine wafting all over the house, and sighed: "Good wine, good wine, where did you get it?" ”
"Recently, Chen Jiao raided the home of a small official, the good guy found thousands of jars of wine, Chen Jiao Changshi made a special trip to leave two altars for the general, I don't hear that the general came back and sent it to you." Zhang Fei listened to the movement in his heart, he had already heard that Chen Jiao was going to attack the officials in Guangling, but he copied thousands of jars of wine from his home, which made him a little surprised.
After all, the lord has promulgated the wine restriction order and fruit wine order since the second Xuzhou battle, how much food is consumed by these thousands of jars of wine, no wonder these grandsons are so resistant to Yicang, now look at it, there may be how many cats are greasy in this, and said in a deep voice: "This Chen Jiao is a caring person, but he is a little stingy, and the thousands of jars of wine that have been seized, how can he send me two jars!" ”
"General, the only two jars of wine were sent to you, and the other wines were directly destroyed in the market in front of everyone, and now in Guangling, rice wine is difficult to buy even if you have money, if it weren't for the last general who drank General Zhang Nan to say hello before, I'm afraid I can't even get these two jars."
"So that's the case, it seems that this Zhang Nan and Chen Jiao are still very good, but it's just too brainless, what are you doing with the destruction of good wine, it's a pity, it's a pity." Zhang Fei sighed in his heart, but what he valued more now was the two jars of wine in front of him.
Seeing that Zhang Fei had relieved his addiction to alcohol, Zhang Ping said, "General, I heard that we are going to pull out?" He asked tentatively, he was in Guangling, doing the work of guarding the city and patrolling every day, and he was about to suffocate to death, in the words of his soldiers, that is, we are also a regular army, how did he do the work of the county soldiers, and now I heard that Zhang Fei asked Zongkou to reorganize the army, but they did not receive any news, and couldn't help worrying that Zhang Fei had forgotten them, this battle together, there was no matter of their own, they were guarding the city in Guangling, thinking of this, not to mention that the soldiers under the account complained, even he was a little worried, this is not through this reason, to see Zhang Fei came.
Zhang Fei put down the wine jar, looked at him and said in a muffled voice, "There is a fart military situation, his grandmother is stationed in Guangling, and he is not allowed to go anywhere." ”
"What, this is the lord's order?" Beads of sweat oozed from Zhang Ping's forehead, the good Xuzhou War, there was no business with them, how could this be reasonable, especially watching others eat meat, they didn't even have soup to drink, and couldn't help but get excited: "Then general, why don't you fight with the lord, why let us guard Guangling." ”
"Fight, why didn't I fight, the lord didn't agree, what can I do."
Zhang Ping was a little frustrated: "Then let's stay in Guangling all the time?" General, in this battle, the whole of Xuzhou has moved, hundreds of thousands of troops, we have nothing to do, I can't swallow this breath. ”
"It's not, damn it, even Zhang Jaw and Tai Shici are dealing with Xu Gong in Wu County, what about us, guarding Guangling, what is there to guard in Guangling, it's better to let me go directly to Xiapi, it's better than staying in Guangling."
"No, I really don't understand what the lord thinks."
"General, the only two jars of wine were sent to you, and the other wines were directly destroyed in the market in front of everyone, and now in Guangling, rice wine is difficult to buy even if you have money, if it weren't for the last general who drank General Zhang Nan to say hello before, I'm afraid I can't even get these two jars."
