Chapter 884: Famous Generals Are Bad Too!
Ma Chao knows that such a choice requires bold perseverance and a long period of consideration.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Jaw would fully consider the time when there were two pillars of incense. And this time period is precisely the time when Yan Liang and Bai Ma Yicong are fighting outside the city.
On the surface, it seems that Zhang Jaw is much easier than Yan Liang, who fought bloodily, suffered a leg injury, and vomited blood, but in fact, the pressure on Zhang Jaw is a hundred times heavier than Yan Liang's!
If Yan Liang is defeated, he will be dealt with by military law at most, but Zhang Jaw's decision is related to the prosperity and survival of the entire Yuan family!
Especially, at this time, Zhang Jaw did not have Wenchen strategists by his side to serve as a staff officer, and it was impossible to make a phone call to Boss Yuan to report a situation....... and what was even more odious was that Zhang Jaw already knew in his heart that he was forced to a dead end by Ma Chao!
Whether he is released or killed, Zhang Jaw can think of Yuan Shao's rebuke and inevitable punishment for him!
Ma Chao is right, there are indeed many factions in Jizhou: when Yuan Shao raised his army, he had his running friends and colleagues and relatives to help, such as Xu You, Feng Ji, Chun Yuqiong, Gao Gan and others; Later, when he deceived Jizhou, he received many talents under Han Fu, such as frustration, trial, and Tian Feng, who was relied on by Ma Chao halfway; After that, Yuan Shao recruited Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Guo Tu and other scholars from Yingchuan County, Yuzhou.
Among these people, there are both Jizhou natives and outsiders; There are both Yuan Shao's past opponents and his old subordinates; There are not only up-and-coming celebrities, but also rising stars who have been promoted to the end; On the surface, Yuan Shao is eclectic and tolerant. But in fact, when these talents gather together, it is inevitable that there will be some disagreements and disputes.
If Ma Chao and Cao Cao are leaders with executive power, they will naturally make a reasonable plan, harness the power of talents, and work together. But helplessly, Yuan Shao himself is a very talented person, and his background coupled with his talent needs to make him enjoy the superiority of the stars holding the moon.
As a result, Yuan Shao has implemented the style of 'absolute leader' very much - with achievements, it is his good leadership; With a poor pool, it is a disadvantage for subordinates!
In addition, those talented strategists under him, because of Yuan Shao's style of 'absolute leader', he had no choice but to create an atmosphere of profit-seeking and noisy: Yuan Shao hoped that he would be famous and wise. But someone had to pay for his mistakes, and the final scapegoat had to end in a noise under the prevarication and trickery of his subordinate advisers.
At this time, Zhang He can imagine what kind of torture he will accept after returning to Jizhou: First of all, it must be Yuan Shao's anger, because no matter whether it is right or wrong, Zhang He has already speculated on his intentions and exceeded the rules! After that, the two factions of strategists quarreled over his decision, and then Yuan Shao, who was even more angry, would give himself an unbearable punishment!
Therefore, what Zhang He hoped at this time was that he had not seen Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi at all........ he understood that he had already lost this battle before it was fought.
Sometimes, Zhang He really wants him to be like Yan Liang and Wen Chou, rude and ignorant, and has no ideas. For example, if Yan Liang met Ma Chao at this time, he would definitely fight with Ma Chao without saying a word, so that ........ would be good! I can completely learn from Yan Liang, because I don't understand the politics of the princes and the overall situation at all!
Who said that being confused is not another level of cleverness?
Wisdom is like foolishness, that's probably what it means, right?
Zhang He finally made a decision, he slowly raised his left hand again, forced his heart, and said bluntly: "Hussar general, what you said just now, the last general can't understand at all, what concessions, what possibilities, etc., Zhang He is difficult to understand. What the last general knows is that the lord ordered me to break through Puyang City! ”
Such an answer made Ma Chao, who was waiting for a long time, seem to be sucked away of hope. He endured the loss in his heart, clenched the Su Tie Sword in his hand, and wanted to make the most majestic shout before Zhang He's left hand fell!
However, when he turned around and saw Lu Bu again, Ma Chao's heart suddenly ached: Lu Bu along the way, in order to give himself a regretless ending, he was like a fully burning fire, even if it was burned out, it could glow with a raging flame.
Looking back on this journey, Lu Bu seems to have returned to the unparalleled god of war who was in the tiger prison and was invincible and in the best state! He rode his horse and charged forward, his mouth whistling like the wind, and his command was right. or the wind rushes forward, or flees, or harasses and bewitches. The few fifty cavalry, in his hands, turned out to be like a dark dancing elf, shuttling through the embattled and deadly siege of Puyang, not only did not reduce their strength, but also gradually expanded their personnel.
However, Ma Chao understood that since he met Lu Bu, Lu Bu had already shown signs of returning to the light. At this time, he was even more desperate and commanding along the way, and he had already run out of oil and dried up. At this time, Ma Chao couldn't help but show the sadness in his eyes: the wind never ends, the rainstorm never ends, and Lu Bu's body can't withstand any more fierce battles!
In his flushed face, there was already an abnormal blue and white, which was the last warning before the torch burned out!
However, even though his body had deteriorated to such a state, Lu Bu never said a word. At this time, he was still sitting firmly on the red rabbit warhorse, his brocade robe was obliquely draped, and his eagle eyes were like lightning, like a unique god of war through the ages, waiting for his fateful call.
Who is the cause of this ending?
Isn't it because of their own ambitions and those so-called schemes?!
The fall of a generation of war gods, do you really want to let yourself see the most miserable end? At this time, Lu Bu hasn't even seen the last side of Liu Xiu and Lu Qiling!
At this moment, Ma Chao suddenly felt that his heart was like a knife, and he felt that he was drifting away on the road of the princes, annihilating human nature, and becoming a beast who could only think with interests and human nature!
No, there must be room for change. Lu Bu, a tragic character in history, will never die in front of him!
Ma Chao tried hard to calm himself down, and when he stretched out his eyes, he saw the hesitation and self-blame in his jaw opening eyes: Sure enough! The good general of Wei Guo, who made Zhuge Liang jealous in history, how could he not even understand what he said so clearly?!
So....... what is Zhang He worried about?
Ma Chao ruthlessly forced his brain to think quickly, because at this time, he had already seen that Lu Bu's hand was once again tightly gripping Fang Tian's halberd!
Finally, between the lightning and flint, Ma Chao thought of the reason why Zhang He did this: he was still with Yuan Shao at this time, not the Cao Cao who had a lot of vices but was quite able to use people!
"General Zhang deceived me!" When Zhang He's hand had been raised to the highest, Ma Chao finally spoke again. Moreover, this time it is still as warm as the sun........
However, in the next moment, Ma Chao's face changed suddenly, and he quickly took out the Yuanrong crossbow under the horse's belly, aimed it at the arm of the open jaw, and shot the crossbow machine fiercely!
'Whoosh! ’
Under the powerful bowstring ejection, the steel nail arrow flashed like lightning, and instantly shot into the left arm that was raised high by the open jaw!
This change made Zhang He and Lu Bu's subordinates shocked, and even, some of Zhang He's guards couldn't help but start fighting back, and Lu Bu also tightly lifted the reins of his horse!
"Slow!"
"Stop!"
Ma Chao and Zhang He both spoke at the same time, and such a strange order made the people of the two armies look at each other. Especially Zhang He's subordinates, looking at Zhang He's unstoppable expression of pain, they couldn't help but say: "General! ”
"Let them go!"
Zhang He drank suddenly, and the tiger's eyes were almost in tears!
And Ma Chao's face turned pale, and he shouted loudly: "General Zhang, you were ordered to attack Puyang City, but unexpectedly, Cao Cao retreated halfway, so you had to fight alone. Later, it was attacked by the army led by Ma Mengqi in Yongzhou, fought for a long time, and was deeply damaged, and finally still retained more than 6,000 soldiers under his command, and retreated to Jizhou! ”
Zhang He couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, he was really helpless about Ma Chao's ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open: This is even better than singing, just you Ma Mengqi alone, why don't you lead the 'big' army to attack....... where are you so big? At least a thousand soldiers should be presentable........
However, just when Zhang He's thoughts were not falling, he suddenly turned around and saw the white waves rolling in outside Puyang City........
"General Zhang, you are a true man, and Ning Hurt has also chosen the right decision for your lord." When passing by, Ma Chao couldn't help but say these words to Zhang He sincerely.
But Zhang He smiled even more bitterly, and said: "Right or wrong, I don't know anything yet........ before he attacked Puyang last night, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he has already asked for help from the old General Han Rong stationed in Yin'an County, at this time, presumably the old General Han is also about to ........."
"What?!" Ma Chao suddenly remembered the illusion he saw in the inner mansion of the official residence: Could it be that his premonition is about to come true again? Zhang He Zhang Junyi, you are a famous general, you are too famous and a bad thing!
