Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

For battlefield veterans like Zhang He, intuition often becomes reality.

The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.

When they were less than three miles away from the camp, Zhang He suddenly ordered the entire army to stop.

Wang Ji rode forward and asked, "General, why did you order us to stop?"

Zhang He frowned and said, "Something is wrong. When I came here, I deployed some decoy troops nearby to support me. But when I returned, there was no response."

"Also, it smells of blood!"

Wang Ji secretly admired Zhang He's careful and cautious actions. Even when he went to help in person, he would leave some decoy troops on the way back to provide support.

While feeling admiration, Wang Ji also felt uneasy.

The lack of response from the suspected soldiers and the smell of blood meant that the suspected soldiers here had been eliminated.

"General, the camp is on fire!" a deputy general cried out in shock.

Zhang He took a closer look and was horrified: "We have fallen into Zhuge Liang's evil scheme again! Xu Zhi, you stay behind to resist the pursuers, Wang Ji, come with me to rescue the camp!"

Zhang He acted promptly.

If the camp cannot be recaptured, these tens of thousands of soldiers will have to sleep in the wilderness.

On normal days, the distance of three miles would not take long; but now, Zhang He felt that the distance of three miles was too far.

When Zhang He and Wang Ji led their troops back to the camp gate, they were surprised to see a general riding his horse with a spear in front of the camp gate.

"Zhang Fei!"

Zhang He couldn't help but exclaim.

The Han general that Zhang He least wanted to see appeared here, and his old heart suddenly increased its heart rate.

When Zhang Fei saw Zhang He, he laughed and said, "Zhang He, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

Originally, Zhuge Qiao was not planning to send Zhang Fei to lead the troops.

Zhang Fei couldn't control his temper and was not interested in Zhuge Qiao and Fa Zheng's deductions on the sand table, so he asked Zhuge Qiao for an order to inspect the army.

So Zhang Fei took a hundred cavalrymen to stroll and patrol outside the camp.

While strolling around, Zhang Fei wanted to go and see whether Wei Yan and Wang Ping's attack on Zhang He's camp was successful.

This time, they happened to find out that Zhang He had left the camp.

This made Zhang Fei very excited.

When Zhang He leaves the camp, the camp will be empty.

Zhang Fei had heard the rumors that "Zhang Liao defeated 100,000 with only 800 men" and "Gan Ning raided Wei's camp with 100 cavalrymen", so he was naturally dissatisfied.

While Zhang He was away, Zhang Fei first eliminated Zhang He's decoy troops outside the camp gate, and then entered Zhang He's camp under the banner of Wei soldiers.

He stabbed the lieutenant who stayed behind in the camp to death with a spear and set fire everywhere in Zhang He's camp.

The general who led the troops died, and the remaining Wei soldiers were frightened and panicked. The soldiers did not know their generals, and the generals did not know their soldiers, so they huddled together to save their lives.

Zhang Fei broke into Zhang He's camp with only a hundred cavalrymen.

Although there is an element of luck involved, who doesn't rely on some luck to carry out a surprise attack in this world?

If they were not lucky, Zhang Liao's eight hundred warriors would have become Sun Quan's military exploits at Xiaoyaojin; if they were not lucky, Gan Ning's hundred cavalrymen would have become Cao Cao's midnight snack appetizers.

But Zhang He didn't know about this process.

Zhang He only saw Zhang Fei appear at the camp gate, and fires broke out in many places in the camp.

Zhang He guessed that Zhang Fei was following Zhuge Qiao's military order and secretly ambushed an army on the right to cooperate with Wei Yan and Wang Ping in seizing the camp.

I never thought that Zhang Fei only had a hundred cavalry!
Zhang Fei is also a shrewd man.

Although there was only one rider standing at the camp gate, there were twenty riders behind Zhang Fei running back and forth dragging dry grass and branches, creating smoke and dust to confuse the enemy.

"Zhang He, do you dare to fight me to the death?"

Zhang Fei shouted angrily, showing his arrogance.

Zhang He tightly grasped his long spear and resisted the urge to fight Zhang Fei.

Behind him were pursuers from Wei Yan and Wang Ping, the camp in front had been breached by Zhang Fei, and he didn't know whether there were any ambushes from Zhuge Qiao around.

At this moment, if he fights with Zhang Fei, let alone whether he can beat Zhang Fei, even if he can, he would be seeking death.

Seeing that Zhang He did not answer, Zhang Fei waved his spear again and shouted: "Zhang He, are you too old to lift the steel spear in your hand?"

"Do you still have the courage to fight me to the death?"

The roar is like that of a tiger or leopard, full of energy.

Zhang Fei’s might is still as strong as ever!
Zhang He was timid and did not dare to fight with Zhang Fei.

Before Zhang He could make any move, a young general could not help but ride out on his horse and say, "Zhang Fei, you old man, how can General Zuo compete with you in bravery?"

"The one who killed you is Chen Zhen from Hejian!"

Zhang He, Wang Ji and other generals all changed their expressions.

Although a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, you still have to see whether the other party is a ferocious tiger or a sick tiger.

Isn't this just running away to die?
Looking at Chen Zhen who was rushing towards him, there was a hint of surprise in Zhang Fei's eyes. He obviously did not expect that an unknown young general would challenge him in a duel.

He raised his hand, drew out the spear, and pulled out the spear, all in one go.

Zhang Fei didn't even drive his horse before he stabbed Chen Zhen off his horse.

"With such martial arts skills, he is worthy of being a general in battle."

"Zhang He, you don't dare to fight me, so you send these little soldiers to die?"

Zhang Fei stabbed Chen Zhen to death with a single spear, recreating his former might as a “enemy of ten thousand men.”

Few of the generals in Zhang He's army had actually seen Zhang Fei's martial arts, and they also thought that Zhang Fei was old and useless. Many of them had the same idea as Chen Zhen.

It’s just that Chen Zhen got there first!
however.

Chen Zhen was stabbed to death by a spear, which immediately suppressed the fighting spirit of the young men in Zhang He's army.

Chen Zhen was considered a fierce general among the generals under Zhang He, but he couldn't even block a spear from Zhang Fei!
How is this played?
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but that is because it has never seen a tiger kill a strong bull.

Now that we have seen it, who dares to talk about going to war?

"withdraw!"

Seeing that the fighting spirit of the surrounding generals had been dampened by Chen Zhen's death, and worried that Xu Zhi would not be able to stop Wei Yan and Wang Ping, Zhang He immediately issued an order to retreat.

The camp can be lost, but the soldiers cannot be dispersed.

Zhang He didn't want to experience the humiliation of escaping with dozens of people climbing a mountain again!

When Zhang Fei saw that Zhang He was trying to escape, he took out his bow and shot an arrow into the sky.

One by one, the cavalrymen flew out of the camp gate.

Zhang He was even more frightened when he saw this, and rode away on his horse.

Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers didn't even know Zhang Fei's military strength, and they all fled towards Yecheng.

Zhang Fei shouted loudly and led a hundred cavalrymen to attack the Wei soldiers, chasing them with horse and archery.

When Wei Yan and Wang Ping saw the whistling arrows breaking through the air, they were surprised and suspicious, but they also knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so they worked together to defeat Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi was defeated, Zhang He fled again, and the Wei soldiers lost their will to fight with the Han soldiers.

More than 10,000 Han soldiers chased tens of thousands of Wei soldiers on the plain and fought for more than 30 miles until Cao Xiu led his troops to arrive and gave up the pursuit.

After returning to Zhang He's camp, Wei Yan and Wang Ping asked Zhang Fei why he appeared in Zhang He's camp.

Upon learning that Zhang Fei was just wandering around out of boredom and accidentally captured Zhang He's camp, Wei Yan and Wang Ping felt extremely depressed.

We used a lot of tricks, such as cursing, luring the enemy, and using our wits to trick Zhang He out of the camp.

In the end, the credit for capturing Zhang He’s camp was taken away from him?

But it was Zhang Fei who stole the credit, and Wei Yan and Wang Ping could not blame Zhang Fei.

Moreover, without Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and Wang Ping would not be able to capture the camp guarded by Zhang He.

Zhang He is too cautious!

Not only does he have rich combat experience, but he is also very good at calculating timing.

If Zhang Xiong could not bear the provocation and left the camp, and if Zhang Fei had not suddenly appeared, and if Cao Xiu was about to arrive, Wei Yan and Wang Ping would have returned empty-handed.

Zhang Fei’s “wandering” this time was a decisive factor in his victory over Zhang He.

Seeing Wei Yan and Wang Ping hesitate to speak, Zhang Fei waved his hand and said, "I have even resigned from the post of General of Chariots and Cavalry. I will not compete with you two for the credit."

"What's more, although I captured Zhang He's camp this time, I also sent troops out on my own."

"Without your army chasing Zhang He, my hundred cavalrymen cannot deceive Zhang He."

"The credit is yours, I won't take it away!"

Wei Yan and Wang Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old General, I have a few jars of good wine at home. I don't drink, so I will send them to you when I get back." The first thing Wang Ping said was to send wine, which was exactly what Zhang Fei wanted.

Zhang Fei laughed: "As expected, he was brought here by Bo Song. This is exactly what I want!"

Wei Yan just bowed.

Zhang Fei knew Wei Yan's personality and didn't care.

Except for Liu Bei in person, Wei Yan would hardly say flattering words to anyone, nor would he give gifts to anyone.

Wang Ping immediately drafted a battle report and asked Zhang Fei to bring it back.

Meanwhile, in Baima City, the battle deduction between Zhuge Qiao and Fa Zheng has not yet ended.

Seeing Fa Zheng frowning and looking unwilling to admit defeat, Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiaozhi, you have lost thirty-six times. You will get the same result if you deduce again."

"If you can't defeat Bosong's chariot soldiers, you won't be able to gain a strategic advantage."

"This is the plain of Jizhou, not the mountainous area of ​​Yizhou. Bosong's chariot soldiers have a natural advantage."

Although tanks are an eliminated type of troops, it does not mean that they are useless on the battlefield.

When Wei Qing defeated the Huns in the past, he used a large number of Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles.

The key lies in how and where to use it.

If it is in the mountainous areas of Yizhou and the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, chariots are indeed useless.

But in plains, chariots are land tanks from the cold weapon era.

It cannot be stopped by human power alone!

If they were to dig deep trenches to block the chariots, it would be a tactic that would kill a thousand enemies but lose eight times as much of their own.

Deep trenches can not only block chariots, but also block the cavalry of the Pseudo-Wei.

Zhuge Qiao formulated a series of tactics similar to "infantry-tank coordination" for this purpose, which maximized the advantages of the tanks while making up for their disadvantages, thus achieving absolute tactical crushing.

Fa Zheng originally wanted to persist, but after hearing what Liu Bei said, his competitive spirit disappeared.

"I won't deduce it anymore. If I can't deduce it, I will be even less able to deduce Cao Zhen and Sima Yi." Fa Zheng had strong confidence in the use of tactics.

Guan Yu could hardly hide his smile, but his tone was stern: "Bosong, the most important thing to avoid when commanding troops is arrogance."

"Although you have won the deduction against Fa Xiaozhi, you should not underestimate the civil and military power of the pseudo-Wei."

"The battlefield is not a game of deduction. Accidents can happen at any time."

"And this accident is the key to victory!"

Zhuge Qiao was not proud at all.

For Zhuge Qiao, deduction is like a game that cultivates his body and mind.

If you take the deduction seriously, you are simply stupid.

But Zhuge Qiao felt helpless when he saw Guan Yu trying to suppress his smile while admonishing him.

Before Zhuge Qiao could speak, Zhang Fei's voice came from outside: "Second brother is right, the battlefield is not a deduction, accidents may happen at any time."

"Bosong, Zhang He is defeated!"

Zhuge Qiao exclaimed, "Huh?" and looked up at Zhang Fei. "The victory report from Wei Yan and Wang Ping has not yet been sent back. How did the three generals know about it?"

Zhang Fei laughed heartily, handed the victory report to Zhuge Qiao, and said proudly: "Because I am the accident!"

Zhuge Qiao unfolded the victory report suspiciously, glanced at it quickly, and said happily: "The three generals went out for a walk and helped Wei Yan and Wang Ping capture Zhang He's camp."

"A hundred cavalrymen drove back Zhang He, which was even more powerful than Gan Ning's hundred cavalrymen raiding the Wei camp in the past!"

Zhang Fei glared at him: "How can Gan Ning compare with me?"

Guan Yu glanced at the battle report and said calmly: "Yide, you dispatched troops without permission and treated military law as a joke. What crime should you be punished for?"

"Bo Song is a great general, and his rewards and punishments are all based on his prestige. You rely on being Bo Song's father-in-law and ignore Bo Song's military laws. How can Bo Song win the support of the people?"

Zhang Fei had already said, "Second brother, I asked for the military order for inspection."

"The whole world belongs to the Han people. I have inspected the camp of the Wei bandits. It is my duty to destroy the camp and eliminate the bandits!"

"When did you ignore military law?"

"Brother, you can't slander me in front of me."

"Bo Song is your son-in-law, and also my son-in-law!"

Zhang Fei emphasized the words "he is also my son-in-law", which made Guan Yu's beard tremble.

Liu Bei held his forehead and said, "Yun Chang, although Yi De violated military law, he also helped Wei Yan and Wang Ping defeat Zhang He. Let's offset his merits and demerits."

Guan Yu said sternly: "Nothing can be done without orders in the army, this trend must not be allowed to grow!"

There was a pause.

Guan Yu softened his tone again: "Yide, next time you want to go, ask Bosong in advance, and I will go with you."

Zhang Fei jumped up and said, "Second brother, I knew you were just bored!"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and squinted his eyes: "I distinguish between public and private matters."

Zhuge Qiao put down the victory report and said: "Cao Xiu is here, Cao Rui's army must be not far away."

"The second and third generals are experienced in many battles. If they are deployed by conventional military means, their performance will be limited."

"I agree with the Second General's combat philosophy: the battlefield is not a game of deduction, accidents can happen at any time, and these accidents are the key to victory."

"I will give the two generals the power to act as they see fit in this battle."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stopped "arguing" and their faces became serious.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei approved of Zhuge Qiao's arrangement.

Both of them are veterans who have experienced many battles and have their own set of criteria and response plans for judging the battlefield situation.

Zhuge Qiao was a general, commanding an army of 100,000 to fight against Cao Rui, and he had a plan on how to deploy these 100,000 troops.

If the soldiers under his command all have their own ideas, then these 100,000-strong army will become a loose sand and will not be able to gather fighting power.

If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not given the power to act at their own convenience, they would have to suppress their ideas and obey Zhuge Qiao's orders.

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Qiao with satisfaction.

When they were in Guanzhong, Liu Bei gave Zhuge Qiao the power to act at his discretion, which brought unexpected surprises to the battle situation.

Now, the main general has become Zhuge Qiao, and Zhuge Qiao has also given Guan Yu and Zhang Fei the power to act at their discretion, which means that Zhuge Qiao has grown into a qualified general.

When commanding a large army, one must use both regular and unusual forces, rather than just regular forces or just unusual forces.

"The Han people have successors!"

"I have nothing to worry about."

Liu Bei looked towards the direction of Youzhou, and his heart was filled with fighting spirit and hope.

Whether we can fight back to Youzhou depends on this battle! (End of this chapter)
