Not surprisingly, Hou Qian's troops came to Dongwu, and Zhang Fei, who found out the news early the next morning, immediately raised his account and deployed for the next operation. It is said that it is a raise, but in fact, it is in the prefectural council hall of Tobu Castle, the county is a small county, and the council hall is not too big.

More than 30 generals and generals filled the meeting hall, although many people were communicating in low voices, but the discussion was almost inaudible, after all, everyone knew what the situation was, and there was no need to ask, so more of them were thinking about the next combat matters with serious expressions, or their eyes were full of expectations, waiting for General Zhang to be able to be appointed as a public general later.

Zhang Ping and Zong Kou sat in the first place on the left and right, if compared to the qualifications, the two are not the highest, at least compared to the Yan General Eighteen Cavalry who joined the army with Zhang Fei, it is too far away, and in terms of position, they are just partial generals, according to the rules of Xuzhou, in fact, it is impossible to distinguish between high and low, but according to Zhang Fei's rules, it is simple, although Yan General Eighteen Cavalry is Zhang Fei's henchmen, but the next two people are his most relied on right-hand men, many things, he needs to discuss with the two, Therefore, at this time, the two of them were also the only generals who used kneeling pads, and they did not share the wooden sheath with other generals, which shows the status of the two under Zhang Fei's tent.

Of course, this is not to mention that Zhang Ping and Zong Kou were originally out of Liu Lan's guard camp, and the people who came from Liu Lan's side also served as personal soldiers and deputy commanders, which is like an emperor's errand, of course, the most important thing is that the two of them do not have the strength to be above the top, not to mention being approachable, and sometimes they protect a few people when Zhang Fei is angry, so few people compete with him for this favor.

"The generals are here." After a familiar laughter, Zhang Fei's voice came, and the moment they entered the council hall through the side door, everyone stood up and saluted together. Zhang Fei still had a little bit of alcohol, and it looked like he had just woken up, and after sitting down in a daze, he motioned for everyone to sit down without courtesy: "The scout came to report just now, and the Houqian Department came to Dongwu, and it is expected to arrive in three days." ”

When he was drinking yesterday, Zhang Ping heard some of his judgments from Zhang Fei's mouth, especially the arrival time of the enemy army, and bluntly said that it would arrive in three days at the earliest, and now it seems that the Qian bandit army will arrive one day later than General Zhang expected, which will give them more time to prepare, of course, it is more of a change in Zhang Fei's drinking.

It seems that Zhang Fei is allowed to drink, maybe it is the lord who knows that he will not delay things, otherwise, ordinary people really will not have the courage to do this like the lord, otherwise once General Zhang deviates, it will really have a big accident.

Zhang Ping suddenly realized something, hurriedly retracted his thoughts, and looked at Zhang Fei again, he did not continue to speak, but kept staring at the generals. Zhang Fei is no stranger to raising accounts in this way, but there are still many shortcomings, or he is imitating Liu Lan's performance in the past when he was promoted through his own memory.

To be honest, for Zhang Fei, compared with the battle, it is obvious that the former is more difficult, the simplest truth, the battlefield battle only needs to directly lead the troops to fight, but when the account is raised, you need to speak, you need to arrange the operation, and you must mobilize before the war.

If it is a joke to say something, then there are few people who can say it better than Zhang Fei, but it is far from easy to say everything he wants to say on such a formal occasion, but fortunately, he has a ready-made model to imitate, maybe at first he painted a cat and a tiger, but today, it is also a model.

On the map prepared in the morning, Zhang Fei made some deployments, in fact, these deployments had already divided their respective responsibilities when they arrived in Dongwu County, but after all, there were still a few days to go, and who could know who would take the lead until the end, to deal with such a bandit army, it would be equivalent to no chance when it came to the reserve.

Everyone was eagerly awaiting, waiting for the last chance to be able to repel the enemy army in person.

At this time, no one spoke anymore, not even the sound of wheezing, all waiting for Zhang Fei to give the final order, Zhang Fei has been observing the performance of the generals, after a long time, with the smell of wine, said: "This matter, I still leave it to General Zong to be responsible, how to deploy it, you tell the generals." ”

This situation is not unfamiliar, in front of Zhang Fei's tent, many times Zong Kou is more like the planner of the battle, of course, he will never be able to replace the backbone. Zong Kou stood up, whether it was when he followed Liu Lan or when he followed Zhang Fei before, he had participated in Liu Lan's promotion meeting, but due to the environment, there would be no sand table here, and there would not be a huge map of a few battles, so one of the things he did in the past few days was to investigate the surrounding terrain and draw a huge map of Dongwu, but after all, time was limited, although the map was only half completed at the moment, but under Zong Kou's request, the general deployment environment was still depicted very clearly.

And at this moment, when he took out the map, he was able to clearly and accurately pass on his deployment, this time in the deployment of troops, they had 10,000 people, not much, after all, it was to enter Qingzhou, it was impossible to bring all the troops over, but 10,000 people were enough to deal with the Qian bandits.

Originally, this battle was intended to directly face them head-on, but in the end, this decision was overturned by Zong Kou, and he had to set up an ambush and take the bandits off guard, so that the chances of victory would be greater, but for Zhang Fei, this way of fighting was indeed a little unsatisfactory to him, no matter what, they were all regular troops, and they used such a small calculation to deal with the bandits, which was too morale-tuning.

But in the end, under the advice of Zongkou to focus on stability, Zhang Fei was forced to compromise, after all, they were also fighting in a strange place, even if the regular army was not too familiar with the terrain, once something happened, it was likely that it would not be able to remedy, so it could only be used to ensure that this battle could be won in the first place.

And Zong Kou is very clear about the battle plan, the two armies are ambushed on both sides of the official road, Zhang Fei personally led the troops to block the front road, as long as the bandits enter the ambush circle, then they will definitely be defeated.

As for whether the generals were worried about whether they would reserve reserves, there was no such thing at all, and Zong Kou sent all his troops to the field, and this battle was to be defeated.

The ambush locations of the generals have been assigned very clearly on the map, after the meeting, the first thing they were asked to do was to go to their own ambush points to investigate, although these locations have been walked through the past few days, which can ensure safety, but after all, how to hide is appropriate, these still need to be checked by these generals on the spot, so after they left the county government, they went to the ambush points one after another, and had a clear understanding of the surrounding situation.

Because it was already autumn, the official road on both sides wanted to ambush, lost the cover of the dense forest, under such a premise, can only think of some other ways to hide the traces, and Zong Kou will be with Zhang Fei to intercept the back money, so he prepared antlers and other obstacles early in the morning, of course, more important is the arrows, if he can, even he wants to be able to temporarily build some bed crossbows, the new bed crossbows have not been brought, but you can find some craftsmen to make some old-fashioned bed crossbows, the lethality must be great.

As for the frontal defense he is in, Zong Kou has full confidence, although he has not designed a few lines of defense, but if they want to break through, it is absolutely impossible, even if Hou Qian has three heads and six arms.

Judging from Zong Kou's deployment, he has full confidence this time, in fact, in the eyes of the generals, it is just a group of bandits, and it is really not a problem, among these people, how many people have fought against the Yellow Turban, and how many people have participated in the battle with the White Wave Thieves, so they have a good idea of the combat effectiveness of the bandits, even if they are different from these bandits, they are not much stronger.

Frankly speaking, no one will consider what threat they pose to the logistics troops, but the more at this time, the more Zong Kou knows that the more he has such emotions, the more he needs to be calm, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and Hou Qian can have today's situation in Donglai, it is impossible to be easy, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, and must not fail because of carelessness.

In fact, in Zong Kou's opinion, the best solution to this matter is also something he has never understood, that is, in the current situation, why not win over Houqian and turn him into his own person, if there is him, isn't it like a tiger to deal with the Jizhou army?

But this kind of consideration, Liu Lan is not without it, at first Liu Lan thought that Houqian would soon be wiped out in Muping, so he would not think about such a thing, but as Houqian has been going south, he even wants to lead the Jizhou army to Xuzhou, after knowing the news, Liu Lan wants to win him over, in fact, there is no possibility.

And he has the experience of Zhao'an Houqian, Liu Lan has some understanding of this person, although this person is illiterate, but he is quite ambitious, although this is the same as the traditional sense of bandits, he has the dream of being a king and hegemon, but he has some differences, that is, he just wants to be a soil emperor in Donglai.

As for whether he will have the ambition to fight for the world in the future, that is a later story, in this case, he can be demoted and sentenced again, which shows that it is impossible for Liu Lan to leave his heart in these official positions, and he was Zhao'an, completely because of the helpless choice at the end of the road, which is very similar to the situation of those Donghu, Xiqiang, Nanban, and Dongyi.

Is it possible for Liu Lan to form an alliance with him, once he puts forward a request to recognize him as the king of Donglai, will Liu Lan agree or not?

If he is a county commander, he will agree, and he will regret it when the time comes, but at this point, some promises cannot be easily agreed, and they have a bad reputation.

In fact, in this era, fame is more important than anything else, Liu Lan knows this too well, what was the situation when he was the county magistrate and county guard, and what is the situation even if he is famous all over the world now?

Even if he had some ambitions back then, he didn't dare to say it, and he had to hide it, but now Liu Lan has this qualification, his ambition and his strategic goals, and he is outspoken under the account, this is the biggest difference, of course, the words of overthrowing the Han family can't be said yet, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense, otherwise he will be looking for death.

All the generals left one after another, although the wine was awake, but Zhang Fei, who still had a headache, did not want to stay longer, and had to go back to rest well, although Zong Kou still wanted to communicate with him, but he was directly refused, what to say tomorrow.

In fact, what should have been said has been discussed a long time ago, and Zhang Fei is relieved of Zongkou, and he will naturally block it, and Zongkou has no way to do it, who will make him the master of a person like Zhang Fei, but he also knows that he has also seen Zhang Fei's power during the Battle of Jiujiang, and he knows that this is more because the Houqian bandit army is not worth mentioning, otherwise, with Zhang Fei's desire for this battle, he would have planned and deployed it by himself a long time ago.

Time passed day by day, three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the scouts did not dare to conduct reconnaissance, and the troops entered their respective ambush points last night to ambush, and now they have to wait patiently for the arrival of the enemy, and then 10,000 horses and horses will be killed at the same time, and the huge momentum is only afraid that the bandits will be stupid directly.

Their deployment is very hidden, even if the enemy army sends scouts to investigate, they will only find Zhang Fei's frontal troops of only about 2,000 people, and they are wearing the clothes of the county soldiers, which is completely like surrounding their homes, such news Fang has long known that for them such a situation, this way is not unencountered, but more are fleeing from the wind, even if there is resistance, it is to defend the city, resist on the top of the city tower, it seems that the situation of these county soldiers in Dongwu County is really rare, but I don't want to care, thousands of people, Isn't that a minute-by-minute annihilation?

Although the home team he brought was only 2,000 people, even if he saved these 8,000 people, he had no combat effectiveness, but the crowd tactics swarmed up, and the county soldiers of Tobu were not dead?

He thought about it and turned to the generals and said, "Brothers, since the county commanders of Tobu County and the county soldiers are so ignorant, then we will give them a little power, kill them all, and loot Tobu!" Everything you grabbed in Tobu, whether it's finances or women, is owned by private individuals! ”

"Long live General Houfang!"

Tens of thousands of bandits raised their arms and shouted, for them, although they also robbed some counties along the way, but they were all those counties that resisted them, and all those who surrendered in Kaecheng were the counties that could resist without committing any crimes, and it would be miserable, not only robbing on a large scale, but also killing countless people, and bleeding like a river.

But because they had tasted the sweetness, they all came all the way, hoping that these counties would resist, so that they had an excuse to plunder, and Tobu County gave them the opportunity to plunder.

Seeing the morale of the soldiers so high, a smug smile appeared on Gofang's face, and from their shouts, he was sure that no one could stop them, and under the temptation of money and beautiful women, the soldiers of Tobu would soon be reduced to corpses.
