As Zhang He's deeds kept flashing in his mind, Wang Xu's heart was like a cat scratching, and the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Of course, it's not because he can't get used to seeing Zhang He, but because he is unhappy that he is currently standing behind others.

Although Wang Xu wanted to dig the foot of the wall on the spot, his mouth moved, and he still held back. The main reason is that this matter is too implicated, if you can just offend Guo Dian in exchange for two generals, of course it is worth it. But the problem is that although Wang Xu is now the chief general, he only has the right to command the troops, not the right to transfer troops, and he can't change other people's troop establishment at will, and even the power to promote generals below the rank of ordinary lieutenant is also granted by Huangfu Song! What's more, the soldiers of Julu County led by Guo Dian are still independent military units, although they must obey the orders of Wang Xu, the general of the unified army, but because Wang Xu has not been granted the right to transfer troops, as long as Guo Dian is unwilling, no one can arbitrarily dismantle and distribute his troops. Of course, the real boss Huangfu Song is an exception, it is authorized by the emperor himself, and he is still modest, who dares not to obey an order?

As for asking Huang Fu Song for help, Wang Xu didn't dare to think about it, this kind of thing, unless Huang Fu Song's head was funny, it was absolutely impossible.

Thinking of this, Wang Xu could only sigh silently in his heart, reluctant to look away, and put this matter aside for the time being. turned to speak: "Since Guo Taishou has such two good generals, then I will be relieved." But is the force in Guo Taishou's hands enough? ”

Hearing this, Guo Dian straightened his gray beard and smiled calmly: "Don't worry, general, I still have more than 17,000 people under my command." If it's just keeping, it's enough. ”

However, when Wang Xu heard that there were less than 20,000 horses, he immediately frowned. Although Zhang Liang's troops were scattered, in the face of the next decisive battle, it was impossible for him to watch Zhang Jiao being attacked from both sides, so he would definitely reorganize the defeated army at any cost, and gather the Yellow Turbans in the rest of the country to carry out a crazy counterattack. And Guo Dian's subordinates are all county soldiers, and the combat power and equipment of the soldiers are far inferior to those of the Central Army, so Wang Xu is really a little uneasy.

After thinking seriously for a moment, Wang Xu didn't point it out directly, and after remembering it in his heart, he changed the topic and said, "Then who will defend this Guangnian City?" After our army marches eastward, this will inevitably become our rear, and the grain and grass materials transported by the imperial court and various places will pass through here, which can be said to be our chokepoint. Although Guo Taishou could prevent Zhang Liang's army from the north from moving south, it was not certain that the other party would send a small force to bypass Ji Ze and directly attack Guangnian. So there needs to be a general guarding it here. ”

As soon as his words fell, the sect member on the side immediately answered: "If you want to keep Guangnian, I would like to recommend someone to the general." ”

"Oh? I don't know which general in the hall? The sect member's words made Wang Xu immediately curious, and he thought to himself: Could it be that there will be one or two earth-shattering people among the generals in this hall?

Just when he couldn't help but look at the generals in the hall again, the sect member smiled and said: "This person sits in the third position on the right hand side of the general, with the surname Chunyu, the single name Qiong, and the word Zhongjian." It is the captain of the Liyang battalion, rough and strategic, enough to guard Guangnian. ”

But when Wang Xu heard this, he almost didn't turn his back on the spot, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Chun Yu Zhongjian? ”

"Hmmm! What's wrong? The sect member didn't seem to expect Wang Xu's reaction to be so big, and immediately asked suspiciously.

However, Wang Xu's reaction was also fast, and he quickly came back to his senses. coughed, quickly nodded solemnly and said, "Oh! It's nothing! I just heard about it, but I didn't know that it was also in the army. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the hall immediately thought that Wang Xu had heard of Chun Yuqiong's talent, so they all looked at the silent Chun Yuqiong. But in fact, Wang Xu couldn't help crying at the moment. Is there any mistake, it turned out to be Chun Yuqiong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms who lost the black nest because he was drunk? The legendary scrap wood? The one that had its ears and nose cut off?

Thinking of this, Wang Xu suddenly shuddered. What if Chun Yuqiong is allowed to take charge of the rear base camp and also stage a remake of the black nest? Immediately, he couldn't help but shake his head, and immediately said: "General Zong, Zhong Jian is a good general, and I also need such talents on the way to the east." I wonder if there are other suitable candidates? ”

"Hmmm! That's just as well. Hearing this, the sect member also nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke again: "What about the school captains Lu Weiheng and Zhao Rui?" Both of them are quite brave and good at defending, and if the two of them are guarding together, it is okay. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu was almost scared to death. I just recalled the battle of the Black Nest, why did this sect member just mention those people? Lu Weiheng, Zhao Rui? If there is another Han Juzi and Wei Yuanjin, wouldn't it just be the original team that was stationed in the black nest?

At this moment, Wang Xu did not move on his face, pretending to be contemplative. But in fact, his head had begun to sweat, and the green tendons on his hands were also exposed, and he also put his hands behind his back and hooked Zhou Zhi slightly.

In fact, Zhou Zhi already knew that Wang Xu would fall into this situation just now, after all, he already knew this army very well, but he didn't have time to tell him yet. So at this moment, he forcibly held back his smile, took three steps forward with a stern face, gently attached it to Wang Xu's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Boss, don't ask, it's fruitless." I guess you're thinking about Yuanjin and Han Juzi, they're both sitting in the hall! Let's be honest, half of the main generals sitting in the hall now are those waste materials under Yuan Shao in history. But they're not as wasteful as described in the romance, they still have some skills, if you don't use them, others are even more wasteful! But on the whole, in fact, these generals are used well, and they are all average. I think you can use Chun Yuqiong, the last time my sister-in-law sent to Handan to set up an ambush, the 10,000 people were the army he led. ”

Knowing that now was not the time to be verbose, so after saying a few words about the general situation, Zhou Zhi immediately retreated.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone in the hall, although Wang Xu was aggrieved in his heart, he did not dare to show the slightest difference on his face. Instead, he pretended to be surprised and looked at Chun Yuqiong and said, "General Chunyu, because I just arrived in the army, I don't know much about the previous things. That's why this guard took the initiative to whisper to me, telling me about your heroic feat in the Battle of Zhangliang. This has made me change my mind a little, and I think that you are flexible and flexible, but not steady, just right for the lifeblood of Guangnian. I want to entrust you with this important task, but I wonder if you have the confidence to do so? ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals in the hall were puzzled, and they all looked at Chun Yuqiong. And Chun Yuqiong was also excited, and without the slightest hesitation, he arched his hand and said: "How dare the last general have the trust of the general!" The city is in the people, and the city is in the fall! ”

"Good! Then this matter will be decided for the time being, and then I will give you the order when the army goes out on the expedition! Saying that, Wang Xu smiled slightly, and without waiting for his reply, he had already turned to say: "Since the matter of staying behind has been decided, then let's discuss how to take Ji Ze, this is the top priority!" ”

After speaking, Wang Xu looked at the map on the handsome case in front of him, but he couldn't help but point and complain: "This map is too poor to be determined by this, I don't know which of the generals is most familiar with this terrain?" It can be said and let everyone refer to it, which can be regarded as a credit. ”

As soon as the words fell, Guo Dian on the side suddenly coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and then smiled: "General Wang, if you talk about the terrain, it may be the most clear below." However, it may disappoint the general, because the soil around Jizawa is soft and damp, and there is a lot of stagnant water, but it is a swampy land with lush vegetation and many fish and shrimp. And although the terrain is low-lying, it is as far as the eye can see, and if the enemy forces do not hold out, it will be difficult for us to do anything. ”

Saying that, Guo Dian looked at Wang Xu, and seeing that everyone didn't speak, he couldn't help but continue: "Besides, it has been more than half a month since the last war, although our logistical supplies have arrived, and the soldiers' weapons and armor have also been repaired, and they are about to finish." But Zhang Liang was also gathering the defeated army and gathering forces. Therefore, I think that if you don't want the main force to continue to entangle with it here, then the best way is to fight quickly and take Ji Ze when Zhang Liang can't send troops on a large scale. And to do this, there is only a strong attack, and it is a strong attack day and night, and strive to completely win it in one day. ”

"Assault?" Wang Xu hesitated a little when he heard this, in his heart, a strong attack was the most unwilling thing to do.

Seeing Wang Xu's hesitation, Guo Dian immediately continued: "General, this is really the best way, no matter what other strategies are, it will be too late in time." At present, the guard general Ji Ze has closed the city gate, and the whole city is under martial law, and he has made up his mind to hold on, the purpose is to contain our army. Not only did we not advance eastward, but at the same time we gave Zhang Liang enough time to reorganize. But in fact, Jize is a small city, not to mention the low city walls, the city defense facilities are almost non-existent, and there is a narrow moat less than half a meter deep. Therefore, as long as we boost our morale, fight bravely, and start the siege before Zhang Liang's reinforcements arrive, then it will not be difficult to take the city. ”

Hearing this, the sect member who had been pondering for a long time couldn't help but say, "Hmm! Guo Taishou is right, the current situation is indeed the best way, if Zhang Liang is allowed to regroup, even if we can defeat him, it will take a long time. Maybe the situation on the Eastern Front had changed by then, and now this is a great opportunity to attack Zhang Jiao from the east and west! ”

Although Wang Xu didn't like this kind of unskilled attack very much, and the losses were relatively large, he saw that Guo Dian and the sect members had already agreed, and he couldn't think of any good way. After thinking for a long time in the whispers of the generals in the hall, he also sighed helplessly, gritted his teeth fiercely, and slapped the handsome case violently. He shouted, "The generals will obey the order!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the conference hall, which had gradually become noisy, instantly quieted down, and all the generals turned their heads to look at Wang Xu.

"From now on, Ling Ru and the others will complete the reorganization of the Yellow Turban soldiers within one day. Within two days, each ministry was to make 10 ladders, 5 hook ladders, and 20 bags of earth and stones, and after three days, they were to inspect them in the barracks and school yards. At six o'clock in the morning, troops will be sent to attack Jize! If there is a delay, cut it! ”

Although Wang Xu's order was issued very abruptly, the generals did not dare to slack off, and immediately stood up suddenly, and said in unison: "No! ”
