Chapter 735: In Yanmen County

Time and space rotation, lens transformation.

However, it was said that Zhang Liao was ordered by Chen Xu to lead 5,000 troops to guard Yanmen County, and there was nothing to do.

On this day, a scout suddenly came to report, saying that Yuan Shao had raised the Jizhou army and attacked the prefecture in three ways, and his Chinese ugly and frustrated led 20,000 troops to attack Yanmen County.

Zhang Liao suddenly heard the news, but instead of worrying about Wen Chou and Frustrating the matter of leading the troops, he pinched a cold sweat for Chen Gong.

"Yuan Benchu personally led 70,000 horses to attack Taiyuan, and Jinyang only had 15,000 defenders, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to defend the city."

"If Jinyang is lost, I'm afraid that the entire state will be occupied by Yuan Benchu."

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao only felt a little restless, walking back and forth uneasily in the county guard's mansion.

"Wen Chou is just a reckless man, and he is also a powerless scribe, and now there are 5,000 elite defenders in Yanmen County, and the general should not be worried."

"If you are frustrated and ugly, as long as you dare to come to my Yanmen County, you will definitely let them have no return!"

When an adjutant general saw Zhang Liao's restless appearance, he thought that he was worried about frustrating the soldiers and horses, so he couldn't help but say comfort.

Zhang Liao was originally a native of Yanmen County, and when he was young, he was known to everyone in the county as a brave warrior.

In addition, he treats his soldiers well, and he is extremely brave and proficient in the art of war.

Therefore, although Zhang Liao was stationed in Yanmen County for a short time, he had already won the heartfelt love of the Yanmen soldiers.

Zhang Liao saw that the deputy general misunderstood his meaning, but he didn't explain, but secretly thought: "Shangdang has 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Wang Junge to garrison, and the terrain here is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"Although the soldiers and horses under the command of Fu Zhu and Wen Chou are four times larger than mine, but I defend the city, I expect that if these two want to capture Yanmen County, it is absolutely impossible."

"However, I can't defend the city, I should first break this road Yuan army, and then divide the troops to rescue Jinyang."

I have to say that Zhang Liao is a little bold, in the face of Wen Chou, a Hebei general, and Frustrated Zhu, a famous man in Jizhou, even if he occupies a disadvantage in troops, he still wants to take the initiative to attack.

This is not that Zhang Liao is overjoyed, but that he knows that Jinyang must not afford to lose, otherwise no matter how tightly he guards Yanmen County, it will become useless.

After thinking for a while, looking at the generals under the command of the county guard, Zhang Liao pressed the hilt of his sword and shouted: "Passive defense is definitely not the best policy, the thief army must be exhausted when it comes from afar." ”

"Seeing that our army is small, he never thought that our army would take the initiative to attack, I intend to go to rob the camp tonight, who is willing to go with me?"

When the generals heard this, they suddenly felt refreshed, and they all said: "I'm waiting for it!" ”

When night fell, the moon was in the sky, and the sky was full of stars, Zhang Liao selected five hundred elite divisions to prepare to rob the camp.

At this moment, a discordant voice sounded, and I saw a general say: "Tonight, the earth is like day under the moonlight, and it is definitely not the best time to rob the camp. ”

"Besides, Wen Chou can become one of the four court pillars in Hebei, I'm afraid he is not a wasted person, and the general is asked to act cautiously."

Zhang Liao looked up at the sky, and his face became a little more solemn, but he still said stubbornly: "It is precisely because the moonlight is in the sky tonight that it doesn't look like a good time to rob the camp, and the thief army will not be guarded." ”

The general's brows furrowed slightly, and he persuaded again: "The thief army is only 20,000 people, but the general only led 500 people to rob the camp, which is too powerful and lonely. ”

"If the general insists on going to rob the camp, he might as well bring more soldiers and horses."

Zhang Liao shook his head again and said: "The generals are not brave but wise, and the soldiers are not more than fine, and it is enough to rob the camp of 500 people this time." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao stopped talking nonsense, and led five hundred soldiers to prepare to attack Yuan's army camp.

The army had just walked a short distance, and Zhang Liao suddenly remembered what Chen Xu had said to him: "Wenyuan is stationed in Yanmen County, so be extra careful." ”

"Yuan Benchu has a lot of talents, Zhang He is a famous general in the world, Yan Liang and Wen Chou bravely crown the three armies, and Fu Zhu and Xu You are even more wise."

"If Wen Yuan fights against these people in the future, he must not be careless."

Thinking of this passage that was about to be forgotten by himself, Zhang Liao suddenly stopped, and the five hundred merger state troops who followed him all looked at Zhang Liao suspiciously.

Zhang Liao didn't speak, but his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the knife, frowning and looking into the distance.

"This time, Yuan Benchu's troops are divided into three routes, and the primary target must be Jinyang in Taiyuan County, and the reason why 20,000 soldiers and horses were sent to attack Yanmen County was just to contain the troops of Yanmen County."

"Although Wen Chou is brave and champion of the three armies, after all, he is a reckless man, so there is nothing to worry about; It is said that even if this person is a famous scholar in Jizhou, he is just a scribe, how can he know the method of marching and fighting? ”

"Now that Yuan Jun is tired from afar, he must be lax in his defense, if he misses this opportunity, it may not be easy to rob the camp again."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Liao already had a plan in his heart.

It's not that Zhang Liao is arrogant, it's not that he is careless, it's just human nature for him to think like this.

It is no wonder that Zhang Liao despised frustration and ugliness, in his opinion, the generals who were sent to attract the attention of Yanmen County must not be reused by Yuan Shao.

And although Wen Chou bravely won the three armies, he was not taken seriously by Zhang Liao at all; He has not had any impressive achievements over the years, and Zhang Liao also felt that this person was a bit of a waste of fame.

Information asymmetry doomed Zhang Liao to be unable to determine the correct strategy.

On the other hand, it is said that Fu Zhi and Wen Chou commanded 20,000 troops, and after entering Yanmen County as a pioneer, they were like splitting bamboos all the way, connecting several county seats.

On this day, the two of them set up camp thirty miles away from the Yin Pavilion.

After nightfall, Fu Zhu called Wen Chou and said: "Zhang Liao is a very important general of Chen Wenzhao, both civil and military, he is a famous general in the world, and the general must not be careless. ”

Wen Chou heard the frustrated words, and immediately said disdainfully: "Zhang Liao is stationed in Yanmen County, and we are almost defenseless in various counties all the way, and we have broken several cities without much effort. ”

"It's such a good thing, and you dare to be called a famous general in the world?"

"It can only be said that all the people who have encountered in the past are mediocre talents, which makes the shaft have this reputation!"

Wen Chou fought with Yuan Shu at the beginning, but with a few soldiers and horses, he was able to kill several Yuan Shu generals in a row, and he rampaged in Yuan Shu's army, almost capturing Yuan Shu alive.

These achievements can be described as extremely brilliant.

However, since then, Wen Chou has rarely had the opportunity to lead an army alone, even if he followed Yuan Shao to participate in several battles, he has not made much gains, so he has been unknown.

is not only Wen Chou, compared with the generals under Chen Xu's command who have long been famous all over the world, the reputation of the generals in Jizhou is much smaller.

Wen Chou has always been indignant about this matter, even if Lu Bu is the first in the world in terms of force, he wants to fight.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and those who don't know are not afraid, which is exactly the current state of Wen Chou.

However, Wen Chou also has the capital of pride, except for a few people in the entire Yuan army, there are few generals who are his enemies.

It is precisely in this situation that Wen Chou is somewhat unsightly.

If it was Lu Bu and Zhao Yun who were stationed in Yanmen County today, Wen Chou might still be cautious, but Zhang Liao's military exploits were much worse than those two.

Wen Chou is determined to surpass Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, so he naturally disdains to be compared with Zhang Liao, who is a grade lower.

Of course, this so-called drop is just Wen Chou's own opinion.

Seeing that Wen Chou was so light on the enemy, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said: "Although Zhang Liao's record is not brilliant, he is also deeply valued by Chen Wenzhao. ”

"With Chen Wenzhao's talent, if Zhang Wenyuan doesn't have outstanding talent, how can he have such high hopes for him?"

"And Zhang Wenyuan was in Bingzhou at the beginning, but he repeatedly defeated the Qiang people, made great achievements, and shocked Xiliang, which is by no means easy to match."

Speaking of this, seeing that Wen Chou still wanted to argue, he directly interrupted his words and continued: "Zhang Liao, this person is determined to forge ahead and is bold, it is very likely that he will come to rob the camp tonight, so it is better for me to plan first." ”

Although Wen Chou didn't think much of Frustration's words, Frustration was the coach after all, and he didn't want to be too arrogant.

However, after hearing that Zhang Liao would come to rob the camp, Wen Chou couldn't help but say: "There are only 5,000 defenders in Yanmen County, but our army has 20,000 elites. ”

"Zhang Liao shrank the troops of various counties, just because he wanted to concentrate his forces to defend the Yin Pavilion, how could he dare to come to rob the camp rashly with an egg hitting a stone?"

"What's more, the moonlight is bright tonight, and you can see the traces of the enemy army from a long distance, it is definitely not a good time to rob the camp, how could Zhang Liao not know this?"

Frustrated and a little tired, he rubbed his brows and said, "This person can't deal with common sense, you just listen to my orders and go down and make arrangements." ”

Wen Chou sneered a few times in his heart, and secretly thought: "It is really ridiculous to let the scribe be the commander, and to do things." ”

"I'll listen to his command tonight, if that Zhang Liao doesn't come to rob the camp, let's see what face I will have in the future."

"After the lord leads the troops over, it is just right to advise the lord and deprive him of the position of the commander who was frustrated."

It was not uncommon for generals in the army to look down on scribes.

Although Fu Zhu has always led the Jizhou army for Yuan Shao, in the eyes of a brave general like Wen Chou, Fu Zhu is just relying on his own identity to be able to be in such a high position.

How could he not see what Wen Chou was thinking, but he didn't show his dismay, he just gave orders by himself.

Although Wen Chou was dissatisfied, he could only hold back his temperament and take the fire away.

After tossing for a long time, the entire Yuan army camp returned to calm again.

Although Wen Chou arranged it according to his words, the Jizhou army that was ambushed was exhausted and yawning, without the slightest sense of tension that should be felt before the big war.

Seeing this, he was relieved, and repeatedly and sternly appealed to the military law, telling the soldiers to be cautious, which boosted some morale.
