Wei Yan, who was standing beside Zhang Liao, continued Huang Zhong's words and said: "Metropolitan Governor, what General Huang said is not unreasonable, and his subordinates also think that the rebels are engaged in some conspiracy!" ”

"Whether the conspiracy is a conspiracy or not, I know it in my heart, you don't need to worry about it, you just need to remember, as long as you do the orders I have given you to do well, you don't have to worry about the rest." Zhang Liao said coldly.

Huang Zhong and Wei Yan looked at each other, they all sighed, but no one spoke, they bowed to Zhang Liao respectfully, and then turned around and left.

The two of them left Zhang Liao side by side, and after walking for a while, Wei Yan said to Huang Zhong: "General Huang, I think the Metropolitan Governor is angry, and General Gan's death has hit him hard, so that hatred blinds his eyes, and he can't help but leave General Xu behind, and even lead our lone army deep into the hinterland of the rebels. ”

Huang Zhong frowned and didn't say a word, but he was thinking about something in his mind.

Wei Yan saw that Huang Zhong didn't answer, so he asked again: "Old General Huang, why don't you even ignore me?" ”

Huang Zhong suddenly spoke: "Wen Chang, don't talk about it, after all, the Metropolitan Governor is the commander appointed by the Regent, although the relationship between the Metropolitan Governor and General Gan is good, but with the character of the Metropolitan Governor, he should not be carried away by hatred." Since our army entered the mountains, we have not encountered any resistance, which is a very abnormal thing, such an abnormal thing. Zhang Liao, who is the governor of the capital. It is impossible not to know. Maybe. The Metropolitan Governor already has a countermeasure, but he just doesn't want us to know about it for the time being. ”

"How can General Huang be so sure?" Wei Yan asked rhetorically.

Huang Zhong said: "It's just a feeling. ”

"Feelings? What if General Huang's feelings are wrong? If the Metropolitan Governor leads us all to the point of no return, won't we all have to go to Hades? Wei Yan said with some opinions.

Huang Zhong said: "General Wei, please remember, if the Grand Governor is really an emotional person, then will the regent still let him preside over the whole situation?" I thought that the reason why the Metropolitan Governor did this was probably to lure the snake out of the hole! ”

"Lure the snake out of the hole?" Wei Yan asked puzzled.

Huang Zhong said: "Hundreds of thousands of rebels are hiding in Ailao Mountain. This mountain is so big, naturally there are many hiding places, we only have 80,000 people, if the main force of the rebels has been hiding in the mountains and does not come out, then we will have to spend a long time to find it, not to mention that we are alone in the depths, the longer this war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us. Rather than this, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole, although there is also a lot of risk involved. But it is also the only way to draw out the main force of the rebels as quickly as possible. Although the rebels are numerous, most of them are a rabble. As long as the real main force of the rebels is defeated, it can serve as an example, then the rest will retreat without a fight because they are afraid. At least, that's my understanding of the Governor's venture, and I don't know if the Governor thinks so. ”

Wei Yan said: "It would be nice if the Metropolitan Governor really thought like that!" ”

"I don't think the Metropolitan Governor seems to take this matter seriously, as if he had known that this situation would occur, and he always had a clear idea of it, it should be the same as I guessed, and even, with the wisdom of the Metropolitan Governor, as well as the rich combat experience in the past, the Metropolitan Governor will definitely think more far-reaching than me." Huang Zhongdao.

The two men chatted along the way, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the place where they should be separated, and the two men said goodbye to each other, and each headed towards their respective armies.

As Huang Zhong guessed, Zhang Liao, as the governor of the capital, although he has always been haunted by Gan Ning's death, he did not let hatred blind him because of Gan Ning's death. On the contrary, Zhang Liao turned the grief of Gan Ning's death into strength, and after some hard thinking and meditation, he came up with this method to lure the snake out of the hole, and its purpose was naturally obvious.

However, Zhang Liao's approach was not discussed, and he rejected all opposing opinions, in order to be able to perform more realistically, he even removed Xu Huang's vanguard position in front of the generals, and replaced it with Huang Zhong, a stable and successful veteran.

For this reason, many people feel very incomprehensible about Zhang Liao's insistence, and they do not see Zhang Liao's purpose very clearly. In addition, the terrain in Nanzhong is complicated, the mountain roads are rugged, and the dense woods in the mountains are full of miasma. Therefore, there has always been a feeling of boredom in the entire army, and the morale of the entire army is very low.

Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, Zhang Liao sat on a big rock, looked around at the surrounding soldiers, and saw that they were a little decadent, and they no longer had the spirit of yesterday, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Governor Qiqi, the patrol team has found a rebel's work on the periphery!" A soldier came to give a message.

Zhang Liao was depressed in his heart, and then waved his hand and said, "Such a trivial matter, do you still need to report it to me?" Didn't I say it before, but if you catch the rebels, you can kill them directly, and you don't need to report them to me. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor, this time this detail is a little different from the previous ones, this time this detail was sent to the door on his own initiative, it is said that he was ordered to come and see the Metropolitan Governor, saying that he had something important to report." The pro-soldier explained.

Zhang Liaohu was suspicious for a moment, his eyes purred, and he shouted to his own soldiers: "Bring that fine work up." ”

"Whoa!"

After a short time, Zhang Liao's personal soldier came from a distance with a thin work that was tied up with five flowers and blindfolded, and when he arrived in front of Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao opened his mouth and said to his personal soldier: "Take off his blindfold, I have something to ask him." ”

The soldiers did as Zhang Liao said, and took off the blindfold of the fine work, which allowed the face of the fine work to be revealed.

Hosaku is a man in his thirties, who is five big and three thick, and he is also very ugly. After Zhang Liao saw it, he immediately felt a little regretful, thinking that it was better not to take off the blindfold.

Zhang Liao looked at this fine worker from top to bottom, but saw that this person's dress was very different from that of ordinary Nanzhong people, but he looked like a barbarian.

Just when Zhang Liao was looking at the fine worker, the fine worker was also looking at Zhang Liao, only to hear him suddenly ask: "Are you Zhang Liao, the commander of the tens of thousands of Han troops?" (To be continued.) )
