Chapter 412 Planning a siege
In Guanzhong area, Zhang Chen, who had been raising his energy for a long time, is holding his first large-scale military exercise. In which almost all the troops participated, except for the garrisons from various places and the fourth ace battalion in Zhang Chen's hands.
It was just sunny, just above the large grassland west of Chang'an City, tens of thousands of troops gathered here, with bright guns and swords erected, and the black crowds of people didn't sound much louder. You can tell that they were elite troops when you saw it.
However, Zhang Chen was not wearing military uniforms. With the Han Dynasty ministers following the emperor, he climbed up to the high platform to watch together. Surrounded by the imperial guards who were only under the jurisdiction of the palace, his appearance was as if he was not close to him, which made others feel majestic.
Today's military exercise Zhang Chen used the excuse of the emperor's inspection to open it to the public, and wanted to show the strength of his subordinates to the princes in the world, so that all the spies mixed in the crowd would bring the news back.
On the huge school ground that was temporarily encircled, the soldiers and horses of both sides confronted each other. The soldiers were holding wooden swords and swords. Zhang Chen had given death orders to all the people before, so he could not really meet himself.
Despite this, the momentum of the soldiers on the battlefield was still magnificent. On one side, the troops led by Xu Rong, the general of the army, were 30,000, and on the other side, the troops led by Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, also 30,000. The two armies were in stalemate and were tense.
.Of course, all this is just a link in which Zhang Chen hopes to review his subordinates' combat effectiveness and elite level, and demonstrate to other princes. He does not really want to compare the subordinates' divisions. Zhang Chen will not be so stupid as to put all his military strength.
All of them were revealed, but Xu Rong's troops alone had tens of thousands of troops, but only 30,000 were sent.
In other parts of the Guanzhong area, Dong Min's army, Li Jue's army, Guo Si's army, etc. are all conducting military exercises, and they are all the tips of the iceberg. This large-scale military exercises in one's own home are very novel to the people, and there are even many, many
The general did not expect to do this, which attracted countless people to go to Chang'an to watch this grand event when they heard the news. For a moment, Zhang Chen's power became famous again. But on the contrary, all the princes got it.
An urgent report sent back by his spies about how strong Zhang Chen's military strength was. When powerful princes including Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were urgently summoning their subordinates to discuss how to fight against Zhang Chen's army, Cao Cao looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help laughing.
Xiahou Dun, who rushed over after hearing the news, was very inexplicable and asked anxiously, "Meng De, Zhang Chen is becoming more and more powerful. At that time, the eighteen princes could not destroy Dong Zhuo. Now Zhang Chen, who has inherited his power, is a rare genius.
, Meng De, you are not surprised but happy, why is this?"
Cao Cao looked at the worried Xiahou Dun, smiled again, stood up and patted Xiahou Dun on the shoulder, but did not say anything, but said to the door, "Fengxiao, don't hide, hurry up and call the envoy to the Yuan family.
Brothers, let them discuss the alliance’s fight against Zhang Chen.”
Xiahou Dun looked back and found that Guo Jia, who had not stepped in half his foot, smiled awkwardly, then bowed to Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun and went down to make arrangements. Xiahou Dun then realized that he was about to ask Cao Cao,
Cao Cao pulled Xiahou Dun to his seat and said slowly, "There were indeed eighteen princes in the Alliance's previous siege, but each family formed cliques and had their own ulterior motives, and it was difficult to unite. It was difficult to defeat Dong Zhuo; now
Our army has been raising its troops for a long time. Although it is not as powerful as Zhang Chen, if we can join forces with the forces of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to start a war against Zhang Chen, we will probably be able to fight with him. Now Zhang Chen has launched a military exercise.
