Chapter 554: Zhang Rafter's Decision

On summer nights, the stars are dotted and the soft moonlight falls down, making the night hazy.

Meridian Valley, the upper floor of the checkpoint city is brightly lit.

The torches planted in the towers crackled and burned, illuminating the Meridian Valley red.

On the tower of the city, several Xiliang soldiers patrolled back and forth, without the slightest relaxation.

The two armies fought, and Wang Can led the army to arrive at the Meridian Valley, making the Meridian Valley the center of the battle, so the Xiliang army stationed at the checkpoint was very vigilant and guarded the checkpoint with a twelve-point spirit. Now that it's dark and it's nightfall, the checkpoint is more likely to be sneak attacked, so the Xiliang Army on the checkpoint is very cautious.

In the Meridian Valley, when the army stayed in the valley and did not fight, there were Xiliang troops on both sides of the mountain road in ambush, as long as Wang Can led the army into the valley, it would be attacked by the Xiliang army. The camp of the army, the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the tent, the oil lamps flickered with a dim glow, reflecting the figure of Zhang Rafter.

He paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Rafter kept moving around, thinking about how to defeat Wang Can's vanguard army. By now, Zhang Rafter also figured out that the generals who led the vanguard army were Huang Zhong, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, and he sent Wang Lan to attack Huang Zhong in the afternoon, wanting to feign defeat and lure Huang Zhong into taking the bait, but Wang Lan was killed by Huang Zhong, so that Zhang Rafter's plan failed.

Before the two armies fought, the Xiliang army was defeated, making it difficult for Zhang Rafter to explain to Zhang Ji.

When leaving Chang'an, Zhang Rafter patted his chest and promised to hold the Meridian Valley and not let Wang Can advance half a step, and now that Wang Can has not advanced, he has lost 2,000 soldiers, which makes Zhang Rafter very sad and angry.

Defeat Huang Zhong!

Kill Huang Zhong!

This thought kept swirling in Zhang Rafter's mind, and when he arrived at the Meridian Valley, he didn't think about defending the Meridian Valley, at least he had to show his prestige. The man's husband, if he has been a turtle with a shrunken head, is he still a man in Xiliang? Moreover, Zhang Rafter had a natural barrier of six hundred miles of valley road, which was enough to drag Wang Can's army.

After a long time, Zhang Rafter suddenly stopped.

He turned his back to the curtain of the tent and shouted, "Come, gather the generals!" ”

Not long after, one by one, the generals of the army came to Zhang Rafter's tent with sleepy eyes and visited Zhang Rafter. When they saw the rafters with their backs to the tent curtain, they had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Zhang Rafter turned around and commanded, "Where is Zuo Xun?" ”

The voice fell, and a young general stood up, hugged his fists and said: "The end will be!" ”

Zhang Rafter ordered: "Order you to gather three thousand soldiers, assemble immediately, and prepare for a night attack on Huang Zhong's camp." ”

Zuo Xu wanted to speak, but saw that Zhang Rafter had a serious expression, and his face was full of resolute expressions, obviously he had made up his mind and it was impossible to change it. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order!" After saying that, Zuo Xu withdrew from the camp tent and went to gather the soldiers stationed in the valley to prepare for a night attack on Huang Zhong.

The generals were ready to persuade, but they heard Zhang Rafter order again: "Where is Ma Zhi?" ”

Suddenly, a fierce man stood up, hugged his fists and said, "The end will be!" ”

Zhang Rafter ordered: "Order you to lead two thousand soldiers and ambush on the way to Huang Zhong's camp, and when the general personally leads his troops to feint Huang Zhong's camp and pretend to be invincible and flee back, you will lead the troops to kill and defeat Huang Zhong." Zhang Rafter still adopted the method of feint attack, wanting to lure Huang Zhong out, and attacked halfway to ambush Huang Zhong.

Ma Zhi hugged his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Zhang Rafter nodded, waved his big hand, and said, "You stay in the valley, garrison the Meridian Valley, don't be lazy." ”

"No!"

The other generals replied with their fists, and then saw Zhang Rafter waving his hand, and the generals understood Zhang Rafter's meaning and quickly retreated, except for a thin-looking middle-aged man who stayed.

The middle-aged man's name is Zhao Zhi, a lieutenant under Zhang Rafter, Zhao Zhi clenched his fists and said: "General, it is a very good way to attack halfway, but there is no guarantee that Huang Zhong can be defeated, so the last general suggested leaving an ambush outside the valley, if Huang Zhong led the troops to kill, he could also kill again and defeat Huang Zhong." ”

In fact, this is Zhao Zhi's euphemistic advice.

Zhang Rafter had already fled to Meridian Valley, obviously being killed and losing his armor, otherwise it would be impossible to escape back. Zhao Zhi's words were to leave the last line of insurance, in case Zhang Rafter was defeated, and there would be a remedy after escaping back, and he could counterattack Huang Zhong and let Zhang Rafter achieve a small victory.

When Zhang Rafter heard this, his face was cloudy, and he said for a long time: "Okay, according to your method, you will lead the troops to ambush outside the valley and receive my army to return victorious." ”

When it came to the last four words, Zhang Chuan spoke almost word by word.

After Zhao Zhi heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Obviously, what he said just now left a bad impression in Zhang Rafter's heart. But he must say that once Zhang Rafter is defeated, it may cause the Meridian Valley to fall. Therefore, there must be remedial measures to ensure the safety of the Meridian Valley, the safety of Zhang Rafter, and the safety of all the Xiliang Army.

Zhao Zhi clenched his fists and left, leaving Zhang Rafter alone in the camp.

The lights flickered, flickering with a dim yellow light, Zhang Rafter gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and waved it vigorously twice.

……

Vanguard, camp.

Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao sat in the camp tent, discussing the affairs of the Xiliang Army.

Pei Yuanshao said loudly: "Brigade Commander Huang, we ......"

As soon as the words came out, he was interrupted by Huang Zhong and said: "Lao Pei, this 'Brigade Commander Huang' is weird to call, you still call Han Sheng, Lao Huang, no matter how bad it is, you can call General Huang." When you usually speak, don't call Brigade Commander Huang, it sounds weird and awkward, in short, you can call it less, try to call it as little as possible. ”

Pei Yuanshao said: "Okay, Lao Huang is refreshing! ”

When Zhou Cang heard this, he grinned and did not speak.

Huang Zhong saw that Zhou Cang's smile was a little weird, and asked, "Old Zhou, what are you laughing at?" ”

Zhou Cang shook his head again and again and said, "No, nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered the previous things, and I felt a little funny in my heart, so I suddenly laughed." ”

In fact, when Zhou Cang heard Huang Zhong's words, he suddenly remembered that he had seen a dog called Ah Huang before, so he couldn't help laughing. Of course, he didn't dare to say this, otherwise it would not only be as simple as offending Huang Zhong, it was likely that the two of them would completely tear their faces.

Huang Zhong is kind on the surface, but he is definitely arrogant.

Pei Yuanshao didn't know why Zhou Cang was laughing, and his heart was also full of doubts. He didn't delve into the meaning, and continued: "Lao Huang, we killed nearly two thousand Xiliang troops, do you think they will come to rob the camp at night?" ”

Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "The way of the art of war, virtual and real, it is difficult to have a definite number, we are not roundworms in the stomach of the Xiliang army, I don't know what they think." However, we can prepare early in the camp to avoid being attacked by the Xiliang army. No matter what the Xiliang army is, we will respond to all changes with the same, strive to reach the Meridian Valley as soon as possible, and take the Meridian Valley before the lord arrives, and make contributions in one fell swoop. ”

When Zhou Cang heard this, he suppressed the smile in his heart and said loudly: "Han Sheng's words are reasonable, we, as the vanguard army, should take the Meridian Valley and open the road for the Lord." ”

The three of them are all ambitious and ready to defeat the Xiliang army.
