In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Han army, Zhang Liao sat at the top, and Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Ping, Pang De, Wu Yi, Lu Kai and others all stood on both sides in turn.

The inside of the big tent was unusually quiet, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy, and everyone was waiting for Zhang Liao to speak.

When the news of Gan Ning's total army was wiped out, almost everyone was shocked, such a great general with great achievements in battle would die in this poor and remote place, and he didn't even know where the body was.

The wind and waves have come over, but the boat capsized in the gutter, and the famous Jinfan thief Gan Ning left everyone like this, which will inevitably make everyone feel a little melancholy.

Zhang Liao looked around, noticed that everyone had a solemn expression on their faces, and said: "Gan Ning didn't listen to orders and acted without authorization, so that he went deep alone and fell into an ambush by the rebels, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army. But Gan Ning is a general in our army, and his departure will inevitably have a great negative impact on the entire army. So, I decided to take the initiative and seek an opportunity to fight the rebels. If this battle drags on for a long time, the more unfavorable it will be to our army, and we must fight a quick battle. ”

After hearing this, Xu Huang hurriedly said: "But the Grand Duke, now we don't even know where the main force of the rebels is, how to fight with it, if we are in a hurry to fight, will we fall into the hands of the rebels, after all, we are not very familiar with the terrain here, in case we ......"

"No in case! The rebels are a rabble, just taking advantage of the geographical advantages. In a vain attempt to lead us into the hinterland. And then gather and annihilate it. That being the case. I will let them go according to their ideas, and the army will all go to battle, I don't believe that our dignified army will not be able to defeat these border people! Zhang Liao interrupted Xu Huang's words, and his words were also full of contempt for Meng Shu and the others.

After Xu Huang heard this, he frowned, he felt that although Zhang Liao said that Gan Ning's death was to blame. But in fact, he was already angry about this incident in his heart, and he clearly felt the hatred in Zhang Liao's heart, once Zhang Liao's heart was full of hatred, his eyes would be blinded and he couldn't see the whole battle situation clearly.

What the rebels need is to let the Han army go deep into the hinterland, Zhang Liao knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and he still prefers to go to the tiger mountains, which seems to have a heroic spirit, but in fact, he has lost his mind. This is playing right into the hands of the rebels.

The terrain in Nanzhong is complex, even if there is Lu Kai's barbarian palm map. In terms of terrain, it may not be familiar with the native-born rebels in Nanzhong.

Even Xu Huang understands this truth, how can Zhang Liao, as the coach, not understand it?

"The generals will listen to the order, and they can gather all the soldiers and horses, pull out the camp and set up the village, and march in the direction of Ailao Mountain!" Zhang Liao didn't give people a chance to breathe, and said categorically.

Even if Xu Huang wanted to persuade him, it was too late, and he noticed that Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Ping, Wu Yi and others were all gearing up, as if they had been waiting for a long time, and they were also looking forward to this big battle. But Xu Huang's heart was never very stable, and he always felt that Zhang Liao's hasty decision would ruin the entire army.

Next, Zhang Liao is arrangement, each general has received his own task, and Xu Huang, as a general in the army, is only responsible for escorting grain and grass, which makes Xu Huang's heart very unbearable, he wants to open his mouth to argue, want to charge, and lead the troops to fight, but Zhang Liao did not give him the slightest chance to speak, after the order, he turned around and went out of the big tent.

The generals came out of the military tent one after another, this time Huang Zhong served as the vanguard, Wei Yan, Wu Yi, and Wen Ping also led their own troops to respond, Zhang Liao personally led the Chinese army to supervise the battle, and even the Liangzhou soldiers, who were very strong in combat, were excluded from the battle, and Pang De and others were arranged in the rear of the army as a reserve.

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wu Yi, and Wen Ping all came out of the big tent one after another, and everyone's faces were filled with a trace of long-lost joy, only Pang De and Xu Huang left the latest.

At this moment, Pang De walked straight to Xu Huang's side and arched his hand: "General Xu, escorting grain and grass is also a very important matter, and it is precisely because General Xu is a stable person that the Metropolitan Governor handed over such an important matter to General Xu." ”

Xu Huang sneered and said, "What kind of medicine is sold in his gourd, do you think I don't know?" I'm just afraid that I'll ruin his good deeds. ”

After saying this, Xu Huang left the big tent in a huff.

Pound was the last to leave the big tent, he saw everything in his eyes today, and remembered it in his heart, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly thought in his heart: "Sure enough, as expected by the lord, although the Han is full of talents, they are all face and heart do not agree, this time the rebellion in Nanzhong is really dangerous, I should also make plans early, and it is ...... to meet with the lord as soon as possible."

After Zhang Liao's order, tens of thousands of Han troops set up camp one after another, assembled together in a very orderly manner, and then under the leadership of the generals of various departments, they marched in an orderly manner towards Ailao Mountain.

The rebel scouts, who had been secretly following the movements of the Han army, immediately began to report the current situation of the Han army as soon as they discovered the situation, and an eagle standing on the shoulders of the rebel scouts immediately spread its wings and soared in the sky with its majestic wings, and flew to Ailao Mountain at the fastest speed.

In Ailao Mountain, Meng Huo had already jumped out of the joy of Gan Ning's annihilation yesterday, and he had completely planned what to do next, and was discussing with the main backbone of the rebels at this moment.

Suddenly, an eagle slave walked in from outside, and when he came to Meng Huo's side, he first gave a salute, and then said respectfully: "King, the front line is urgent." ”

Meng Shu took the emergency report from the hand of the eagle slave, and after opening it, he only saw a strange and simple symbol, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said happily: "God help me!" God help me! ”

The rest of the people asked puzzledly, "My lord, what makes you so happy?" ”

Meng Shu said: "The Han army has already set up camp and marched in the direction of Ailao Mountain, so my plan is half of the success." Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for us to show our strengths, it's time to avenge our dead brothers, as long as this army is completely annihilated, the Han will know how powerful we are, so that they will not dare to underestimate us anymore, and we can also take advantage of the victory to advance, and then capture the land we have lost, and even occupy the entire Yizhou is also very possible. At that time, as long as we block the road into Sichuan, no matter how powerful the Han army is, we will not want to enter Yizhou, then we will be able to live in Yizhou for generations! ”

"Long live the King! Long live the King! The crowd shouted in unison.

Meng Huo was in a surging mood, and immediately issued his own order: "Pass my order, the hunt begins!" (To be continued......)
