Li Xiang's army has won successive victories. After the recent news reached Yecheng, the Han army in Yecheng was also very determined, and all of them were impressive and mighty.
"General Lu..." As soon as he saw Lu Zhi, Li Xiang immediately dismounted and saluted.
"General Li..." Lu Zhi also returned the salute. After all, Lu Zhi now knew that the two were at the same level, and Li Xiang was no longer the fledgling general he thought he was. Some etiquette should still be paid attention to.
"Thanks to General Li for turning the tide, the turnaround in this war is all thanks to General Li." Lu Zhi himself never expected that Li Xiang had such a talent, and that the entire battlefield situation was reversed because of one person.
"General Lu won the award. Li Xiang was just lucky this time. He deserves more credit than General Lu for his hard work." Li Xiang said with a smile.
"With Li Xiang here, I will be able to protect my status as a great man. In the future, I will help him more in the court." Lu Zhi saw that Li Xiang had made great achievements and was still not arrogant or impetuous, humble and polite even after he was in a high position.
, nodded secretly.
"General Li, please..."
Lu Zhi went first, followed closely by Li Xiang on one side, followed by the generals of the Han army behind him, and everyone headed towards the city guarding the city together.
As soon as he entered the lobby of the city guard's mansion, Li Xiang took the initiative to stand on the deputy seat and turned a blind eye to the chief seat above him. His meaning was self-evident.
After seeing Li Xiang's behavior, Lu Zhi was stunned at first, and then suddenly understood what Li Xiang meant. Since Li Xiang took the initiative to give up his position, Lu Zhi didn't say much and took the position.
He sat down directly.
After the generals sat down, it was Lu Zhi, the commander-in-chief, who spoke first, "General Li, what are your plans for the next war?"
Although Li Xiang has voluntarily given up his position as general, after all, the two are equal in terms of military positions.
Therefore, even Lu Zhi had to consider Li Xiang's suggestion, so he took the initiative to ask.
Moreover, Li Xiang's series of achievements these days have completely proven his ability. Lu Zhi also hopes that Li Xiang can help him come up with some good ideas to relieve his pressure.
In the past, the Dahan was temporarily not strong enough to launch a counterattack against the Yellow Turbans. But now, at least above Jizhou, the strength of the Dahan and the Yellow Turbans have temporarily remained at the same level. Therefore, a decisive battle between the two sides must be put on the agenda.
Already.
Moreover, Lu Zhi was also worried about the situation of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains. Even though he received not much news, Lu Zhi could guess from the sporadic content that Huangfu Song's situation must not be optimistic. If there is no more support,
Lu Zhi couldn't guess how long Huangfusong could hold on.
Therefore, Lu Zhi must win the victory in Jizhou as soon as possible and defeat Zhang Jiao. He must quickly support Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in the Central Plains before they can no longer survive.
But when he thought of the decisive battle, Lu Zhi couldn't think of a good way for a while. Although the Yellow Turbans had relied on their numerical advantage to defeat Lu Zhi step by step, they could only rely on fortified cities to hold on. But it cannot be denied that among the Yellow Turbans,
There are also many talents.
Apart from anything else, at least with Chi You, Lu Zhi had no chance of winning. Facing Chi You, Lu Zhi believed that he was no match for him in terms of commanding troops.
Therefore, although Li Xiang's consecutive victories brought about a big reversal in the situation in Jizhou, when the decisive moment came, Lu Zhi was not at all relaxed.
After all, the Han army does not have a 100% chance of winning at this moment. In other words, whether it is the Yellow Turbans or the Han Dynasty, the outcome of Jizhou is only 50-50.
Li Xiang has naturally thought about Lu Zhi's problem for a long time.
Not to mention Li Xiang's own thoughts, but Li Xiang's family background alone destined that Li Xiang and the Yellow Turbans were incompatible. Therefore, Li Xiang's level of concern for this battle was not lower than that of Lu Zhi.
The series of policies proposed by the Yellow Turbans against aristocratic families can already predict that once the Yellow Turbans really win, the end of the aristocratic families in the world will come.
After discussions with Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Su Lie and others, Li Xiang finally made a decision.
"Fight head-on, just defeat the Yellow Turbans with an upright force." In response to Lu Zhi's question, Li Xiang gave the answer he had prepared for a long time without giving it much thought.
Lu Zhi imagined many answers from Li Xiang, but the only one he never imagined was that Li Xiang would directly want to defeat the Yellow Turbans head-on.
Although the information was incomplete, Lu Zhi had also inquired about Li Xiang's battles these days. Whether it was raids, ambushes or fire attacks, Lu Zhi thought that Li Xiang was good at surprise, but he didn't expect that Li Xiang would be an upright master today.
.
"Please give me a clear explanation from General Li." Lu Zhi suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked Li Xiang again.
Hearing this, Li Xiang straightened his voice and said in a concentrated voice, "Since the beginning of the war, our big men have been defeated one after another in various battlefields under the strong attack of the Yellow Turbans, and their morale has already plummeted.
In this battle, both Zhang Jiao and Chi You are present among the Yellow Turbans. Under these circumstances, if our army can defeat the Yellow Turbans head-on, the morale of our Han army will be greatly boosted upon hearing this, and the Yellow Turbans will surely die soon."
Li Xiang said it so straightforwardly, so Lu Zhi naturally understood what Li Xiang meant.
Not only Lu Zhi understood, but everyone in the hall understood what Li Xiang meant. But if you understand, you understand, but the problem is that the Han army's chance of winning is no better than that of the Yellow Turbans.
"I wonder what the chance of victory is if I follow the wise nephew's method." After a long time, the good old Liu Yu finally spoke first.
When Li Xiang saw that it was Liu Yu who was asking the question, he did not dare to neglect it. As the shepherd of a state, Liu Yu not only had the same official position as Li Yang, Li Xiang's father, but also had a good relationship with Li Yang.
He has always been famous. Liu Yu called himself a good nephew, and Li Xiang didn't feel disadvantaged at all.
"There are many generals in our army. Whether they are Generals Guan, Zhang, Yan Wen, and Taishi, or the Xue family father and son under Dong Taishou, or the two generals Xing Tian and Xue Rengui under me, they all have courage that no man can match." Li Xiangyi
He explained to everyone with a confident face.
"The number of powerful generals in our army is far beyond that of the Yellow Turbans. As long as our troops are divided into multiple groups and advance toward the center of the Yellow Turbans, the Yellow Turbans will be unable to fully respond.
And among all the routes, as long as there is a thief who can threaten the central army, the Yellow Turbans will definitely be in disarray and their defeat is certain."
A clear understanding suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes. As long as Zhang Jiao's safety could be threatened, the Yellow Turbans would be in chaos. And if the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, then the Han side would have their chance.
But it's not easy to break through to the Yellow Turban Army and threaten Zhang Jiao's safety?
"General, don't you know Chi You...?" Liu Bei asked worriedly from one side.
"Chi You will be sent by my general to deal with it." Li Xiang answered before Liu Bei could finish asking.
