At dawn, Zhang Liao led the army to the Pushui River. Wenpin had already sent someone to inform him of last night's battle. When he saw the mess on the Pushui River, he seemed to be able to feel the fierce battle last night.

Also arriving at the same time as Zhang Liao were Gan Ning, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Pang De, Wu Yi and others.The matter of Zhang Liao dispatching soldiers and horses out of the city last night, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. There were so many pairs of eyes watching.

Originally, Zhang Liao was quite looking forward to this matter, thinking that it was a sure thing, but when Wenpin's report was handed over, he stood there for a long time without speaking, never dreaming that such a result would happen.

Zhang Yuan was killed, and the 200 elite cavalry he led were also severely injured. If Wenpin hadn't led the army to arrive in time, it is very likely that the [-] elite cavalry would have been wiped out.Today, of the [-] elite Chinese cavalry, there are only less than [-] cavalry left, and more than [-] people were killed in battle.

You know, this cavalry team was built by Zhang Liao after years of painstaking efforts. It is his direct lineage troop and also a trump card in his hand. Stand alone.

But the fact is that in the battle last night, the cavalry team he relied on was hit so hard, and the opponent's main force was only 500 people.

This was a fact he couldn't accept no matter what, and it was also something that shocked him. The rebels were able to fight against [-] cavalry with [-] infantry, and they were not at a disadvantage in the slightest. This is undoubtedly a huge shame for him!

Zhang Liao had just been named the Great Governor. Who knew that Zhang Yuan had caused such a big incident to him before he had officially announced the content of the imperial decree to the generals. This was not slapping him in public. How to convince the public?

After Wenpin rescued some of the cavalry last night, he gathered all the troops on the east bank of the Pushui River, and then sent someone to notify Zhang Liao, while he stayed here to guard, waiting for Zhang Liao's arrival.

As for the specific situation, Wen Pin had roughly explained to Zhang Liao in his letter that Zhang Yuan had already broken through the rebel camp, but because he failed to capture Meng You and Wu Tugu, he led his cavalry to chase after them.Who knows, instead of catching Meng You and Wu Tugu, they were killed by five hundred rattan armored soldiers led by Wu Tugu, even Zhang Yuan himself was crushed to death by Wu Tugu, and his body is still there. Lying among groups of corpses on the west bank of the Pushui River.

In addition, Wenpin also deliberately explained another situation to Zhang Liao, that is, the rattan armored soldiers led by Wu Tugu were invulnerable to swords and guns, and arrows could not penetrate them.And it explained the situation objectively. The failure of this battle was not because our army didn't fight hard, but because the opponent's protective gear was too powerful and couldn't hurt the opponent at all.

It's a pity that Wenpin and others did not capture a rattan armored soldier, otherwise, they could learn something about the rattan armored soldier from here.

"The final general will meet with the governor!" Wen Pin went straight to Zhang Liao and said respectfully.

About Zhang Liao's appointment as the governor of Nanzhong, Zhang Liao has already told all the generals in the army. Except for Ma Chao who refused to accept it, the rest of the army did not say anything. After all, Zhang Liao was a chariot general before, and his official position was also the highest among them. , will not care about anything.

But Ma Chao was different. Ma Chao had contributed to the pacification of Shu, but he didn't wait for the due reward. He said that he would wait until Nanzhong was pacified before he could be rewarded. For Ma Chao, this was undoubtedly contemptuous of him.

When Ma Chao was angry, he drank to drown his sorrows, but the matter had come to an end, and Ma Chao had no choice but to send Pang De to temporarily replace him and act with Zhang Liao.But in fact, Ma Chao issued a secret order to Pound that he must not lose a single soldier and must retain his strength.

Zhang Liao rode a tall horse, and when he saw Wenpin coming, he asked, "How is the situation on the other side?"

"Report to the governor, the general has sent scouts to investigate. The rebels blocked the road leading to Ailao Mountain. As for the distance from the pass to the river, there is no enemy." Wen Pin said.

Zhang Liao said: "Give me an order, all the troops will cross the river and set up camp on the opposite bank!"

After hearing this, Xu Huang clasped his fists and said, "Governor, isn't this too hasty? The rattan armored soldiers of the rebel army are a strange soldier, and our army knows nothing about them. What if..."

"It's nothing in case. It was just our army's negligence last night and underestimated the enemy's combat power. I don't believe in that evil. There are really invulnerable troops in the world?" Zhang Liao has been blinded by shame. What he has to do is to quickly Seek to fight the rebels, and let him personally command the battle to save his face.

"But……"

Xu Huang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Liao, who said decisively: "I have made up my mind, and anyone who talks too much will be shot!"

After hearing this, Xu Huang just sighed heavily and said nothing more.

Zhang Liao turned over and jumped off the horse, said a few words to Wen Pin, and Wen Pin led Zhang Liao to the side.

At this time, Gan Ning suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Xu Huang's shoulder, and said slowly: "General Xu, you haven't had much contact with the governor, so maybe you don't know who the governor is. But don't worry, The governor is definitely not the kind of person who acts on his own will, everything he does has his own purpose. If General Xu doesn't believe it, just wait and see, within ten days, the rebels will definitely suffer a bigger blow! "

Xu Huang was dubious, sneered, and said to himself: "I hope things will develop as General Gan said, otherwise..."

Xu Huang didn't say any more in the second half of the sentence. He turned and left the crowd, returned to the formation, and looked towards Zhang Liao from time to time, but at this time, he could no longer find Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao's order was quickly conveyed, and all the troops crossed the river in batches, all in an orderly and orderly manner, appearing extremely regular.

Xu Huang led his [-] subordinates, and followed the army across the Pushui River, and followed the army westward for about five miles, and finally set up camp in an open field.

All the actions of the Han army were carried out under the supervision of more than a hundred pairs of rebel scouts. These scouts would go back every quarter of an hour to report the latest news. This was the task assigned to them by Meng Huo. Every move of the army.

In Ailao Mountain, Meng You and Wu Tugu returned in a big defeat, but Meng Huo didn't blame them, he just gave them a little punishment without pain.

Meng You and Wu Tugu went to lure the enemy. Only Meng Huo, Meng You, and Wu Tugu knew about this matter. Apart from these three people, there was actually one other person who knew about it, and that person was Meng Huo's wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong. .

The strategy to lure the enemy to go deep is the strategy that Mrs. Zhu Rong offered to Meng Huo, letting Meng Huo rely on the favorable terrain in the south, set up layers of ambushes, weaken the strength of the Han army bit by bit, and avoid large-scale battles with the Han army. head-on confrontation.

However, this strategy was used by Meng Huo to eradicate dissidents and weaken other tribes.If this matter is made public, I am afraid that Meng Huo's status will be questioned, and some people may rebel.So Meng Huo didn't dare to use other people, so he could only ask his own brother and his most trusted confidant to go to half the matter together.

The fact that Meng You and Wu Tugu returned home in a big defeat was unknown to outsiders. The leaders of all the tribes sat together, and Meng Huo's punishment for them was too light, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many tribe leaders. There was a lot of chatter and chatter.

Seeing this, Meng Huo yelled at the crowd, the voice was like thunder, echoing in the cave for a long time, and it never dispersed.With this roar, Meng Huo exerted all his strength, and everyone in the cave felt a piercing pain. Everyone stopped talking and sat there quietly, waiting for Meng Huo to speak.

"There is a saying in the Han people that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune! Although Meng You and Wu Tugu returned in a big defeat, they also made the Han people suffer and gave the Han people a big blow. Besides, those who followed them The soldiers who went there were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and the only ones who could really go to the battlefield were Wu Tugu's [-] barbarians, and the rest were mobs, do you still expect these mobs to defeat the mighty Han army?" Meng Meng Huo Lang said, "That's just nonsense! A few months ago, I led [-] elites and they were all defeated, not to mention Meng You and Wu Tugu? Instead of blaming outsiders here, you might as well go to the battlefield with a knife , if you can kill the Han army completely, then you won't sit here and listen to my nagging!"

Everyone in the cave stopped talking and remained silent for a moment. At this time, a scout came from outside the cave. After seeing Meng Huo, he saluted first, and then said: "My lord, the main force of the Han army has already crossed the river." , and set up camp five miles away from the Pushui River."

When Meng Huo heard this, he burst out laughing and started dancing.

This scene immediately made the tribal leaders present like Zhang Er's monk puzzled, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.Just now Meng Huo was still stern and his face was iron, but now he started dancing in a blink of an eye, maybe he is crazy.If they are really crazy, how can they fight against the Han army?
Meng Huo also seemed to be aware of the strange gazes of the crowd, so he stopped his actions hastily, and then said to the crowd, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm not crazy, but overjoyed. The main force of the Han army has passed through. Pushuihe, this is exactly the result I want to see. In fact, every move of the Han army is under my strict surveillance. As long as there is any trouble, I can see it clearly. This time the Han army is aggressive I will teach them to go back dejectedly. Now, let me tell you what we should do next!"

As soon as the words fell, Meng Huo began to talk to everyone. After listening to it, everyone suddenly realized that they were very impressed by Meng Huo's strategy. They all swore to be loyal to Meng Huo and drive the Han army out of Nanzhong completely. .

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Meng Huo smiled even happier...
