"Huh? The general's strategy is wonderful!" Yin

After the scouts reported the military situation that Zhang He ordered all the main army units to guard the camp, stay behind closed doors and ignore the incoming attacks, Zhao Tong also briefly stated and issued various instructions.

After hearing this, Huo Yi and the other generals couldn't help but give thumbs up and praise him.

After giving the order, Zhao Tong personally stationed himself at the north entrance of Mumen to prevent Cao's army from suddenly attacking and cutting off the return route to the south.

The other Han troops were dispersed into small groups and marched along the flanks of the West City.

Naturally, this news could not be hidden from Cao Jun's spies who had many eyes and ears in the surrounding area.

The information quickly appeared on the desk of Zhang He, the commander of the Xicheng Military Palace.

"Huh? You mean that the enemy troops dispersed into various groups and went deep into the surroundings of my city?" Yin

"General Zhang, this is indeed the case!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spy wearing a green raincoat and a cape quickly responded with his hands raised.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang He, who had always been prone to scheming, couldn't help but fell into deep thought for a while, thinking to himself, "What on earth is this boy Zhao Tong doing?"

"What is his purpose of spreading his troops deep into the surrounding area of ​​Xicheng?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will send my troops to attack the wooden gate entrance and cut off their return path?"

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't calm down in his heart. He quickly asked, "Have you ever investigated the situation at the wooden gate crossing? Are there any sergeants stationed there?"

"General Qi, it seems that there are troops stationed on both sides of the crossing. It should be to prevent our army from trying to cut off its return route." Yin.

As soon as he finished speaking, the minds of the generals on both sides became active again unconsciously, and they all called for battle:

"General Zhang, the enemy's strength is limited. General Zhang sees that we don't need to worry too much. We can directly press the army to level the wooden gate crossing, and then send the main force to garrison."

"In this way, the Shu army scattered deep into our territory is nothing more than a rabble!"

"At that time, there will be no progress and no retreat, and we will be at the mercy of our army."

"Yes, the general also agrees to send troops to attack the wooden gate crossing and seize this place."

The expressions on most of the generals' faces seemed to be as passionate as chicken blood, but Zhang He thought for a moment, but still shook his head slightly and refused:

"The order is passed down, all ministries will continue to close their camps and stand firm. Without the general's orders, they must not attack without authorization!" Yin

After giving the order, the generals were now even more confused.

That is why ah?

If you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, what are you waiting for!

Of course, Zhang Hegui is the chief general, and all the generals can only slander him in their hearts, but they dare not say it out loud.

However, Zhang He's ability to observe words and expressions was quite strong. With one glance, he noticed the expressions on the faces of the generals.

He did not explain much, but responded lightly, "The enemy general is not an ordinary person. Since he dared to divide his troops into several groups and penetrate deep into the surrounding area of ​​our west city, he obviously had some countermeasures to prevent our army from raiding the wooden gate entrance."

.”

"But no matter what, even if the enemy goes deep into our territory, they won't be able to make any small moves." Yin.

"Our army only needs to stop quietly and wait for the opponent to reveal his flaws!"

After some explanations, the generals could only be patient and submit.

Although I still don't quite understand why I dare not attack, I can only accept it.

In fact, in the final analysis, whenever Zhao Tong led his troops into the border of Longxi in the past few years, he was able to defeat many generals such as Fei Yao with a small number and was helpless. His reputation spread throughout all the counties in Longxi.

Even if he was faced with superior military strength, Zhang He did not dare to look down upon him.

In addition, he has a stable temperament and is good at adopting different strategies to deal with various situations in battle.

Now that Zhao Tong is facing an unpredictable enemy situation, he is naturally unwilling to attack easily.

Perhaps this was a flaw that Zhao Tong deliberately revealed. His purpose was to mobilize Cao's army to attack, and he took advantage of the situation to withdraw his various ministries to fight and test the false and true strategies?

Thinking of this, he chose the relatively safe "static braking" plan.

If you change to a more radical general, the response strategies you may choose will be at least very different!

Someone like Zhang Liao would at least personally lead hundreds of death squads to attack the wooden gate entrance to explore the truth.

This is the difference in the style of each general's military use.

…

As the Han army's spies continued to detect, Cao's army remained stationary.

When the military information came back, Huo Yi said with emotion, "General, Zhang He, this old fox, is really able to keep his temper. He is really not fooled at all!"

After the words fell, Zhao Tong, who was standing next to him with a strong body and a sharp sword at his waist, had a solemn expression, as if he had something on his mind.

After he finished speaking, he pondered for a while, then Huo Yi raised his hands and said: "General, your strategy has failed again. The enemy has not taken the initiative to attack."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Tong turned around with a smile on his face and said, "Haha. It doesn't matter, I had expected this!"

"Hmm? What does the general mean?"

"Zhang He has been in the military for many years and has become a mature and prudent general. At present, before he understands the general's intention, he will most likely not take the initiative to attack our army and let our army's plan to test the reality be successful."

"He stops by staying still. In fact, he is spying on our movements step by step. If there is a slight mistake in our army, he will immediately launch a large-scale attack and hit our weak points hard." Yin.

"This person is far-sighted and really difficult to deal with!"

After the words fell, Zhao Tong explained to him patiently and kindly.

He had previously recruited Huo Yi from Huo Jun because of his potential. In order to cultivate him, he spared no effort to teach him this time.

Huo Yi is indeed a talented and intelligent person. He nodded repeatedly as if he had absorbed something from his words.

"But, the fun has just begun. Since Zhang He can calm down, I will have a patience test with him to see who can calm down better."

When the conversation changed, Zhao Tong's face became serious again and he ordered, "Xian Shao, please send an order to all ministries and let them continue to act according to the original plan."

"Here." chanted

The two sides continued to compete in the west city and at the north entrance of the wooden gate, as if they were competing for endurance.

What happened in the next few days immediately surprised Zhang He.

It is now early April, when early summer is just around the corner.

The so-called "three golds and four silvers" happen to be the days of spring plowing.

In the counties of Longyou, there is less rain and the weather is dry.

The main crops grown locally are mainly millet and wheat, which are relatively drought-tolerant.

In the fields around Xicheng, people gathered this time.

In every household, men, women, old and young almost all went out to sow seeds together.

The counties in Longyou are already suffering from drought and can only harvest once a year.

Spring plowing and autumn harvest.

If you miss the hard work in spring, there will be no harvest at all this year!

The people have no surplus food, so how can they pay taxes?

Food is the most important thing for people, so how should they eat?

Therefore, the people here in Longyou attach great importance to spring plowing.

Every March and April, almost the whole family goes to battle together.

But this time, soldiers with swords and neat armor appeared in the fields or farmhouses.

However, this army has strict military discipline and has no offense against the people.

This made the local people slowly relax their worries.

There is no way, this world is not peaceful.

In particular, Liangzhou is also the land of Xichui. There are frequent raids by Qiang and Di tribes, as well as endless horse gangs and thieves.

The scholars and the people all suffered greatly from it and were frightened.

"Hey, what kind of army is this?"

"They have very strict military discipline and have no intention of infringing on us."

"Look at the flag, isn't it clearly written on it? It's a big flag with Chinese characters."

"Han Army? No way. I wonder if the main force of General Zhang is wearing armor of this color?"

"It is not necessarily the Guanzhong army that is flying the flag with Chinese characters. I heard that Uncle Liu Huang, who was in charge of Bashu in the past, burned incense to worship his ancestors in Hanzhong, prayed to the world, and established himself as the king of Hanzhong."

"These should be the people under the command of the King of Hanzhong, right?"

"That's right, that's right! I heard that Wang Renyi of Hanzhong was famous all over the world, and his soldiers never committed plunder. This should be it." Yin.

Seeing that this branch had nothing to do with Minqiu, the people everywhere in the fields and farmhouses started talking among themselves in whispers.

Following this, everyone's hearts aroused admiration.

Not only that, each branch of the Han army also helped the people in the fields to sow seeds and work hard with the people.

This move undoubtedly won the favor of the local people.

Therefore, each tribe stayed in farmhouses around Xicheng.

This scroll looks like the military and civilians are enjoying themselves.

Naturally, this army is the Han army that Zhao Tong sent deep into the surrounding farmers.

In just over ten days.

The various departments of the Han army relied on strict military discipline to integrate with the farmers.
