Chapter 304 The veteran takes action, one can stand up to the other two
In order to show his loyalty, Zhang He begged Cao Ren to allow him to make meritorious service.
In this attack on Jiameng Pass, Cao Ren also had a foresight and specially sent Xiahou Shang, Han Hao and Zhang He to go together.
Due to three defeats by Zhang Fei, the command of the army this time was entirely in the hands of his clan brother Xiahou Shang.
As Xiahou Shang was a clan relative, Cao Ren took special care of him and ordered a hundred tigers and leopards to protect him.
Add another 30,000 elite troops to attack Jiameng Pass.
"General Xiahou, don't be careless when you go to attack Liu Bei this time!"
Zhang He said earnestly: "Liu Mang, the son of a prince, is very cunning! Someone fell into his scheme at Wakou Pass!"
After hearing this, Xia Houshang sneered and said: "The people under Yuan Shao are trash after all!"
"Then Liu Mang is younger than me, how capable is he? I think General Zhang is just making excuses for failure!"
Zhang He had a look of shame and anger on his face. It was wrong for him to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, but as a deputy general, he reminded Xiahou Shang that he was doing his duty.
"General Zhang, you have always lacked the determination to fight to the death on the battlefield."
Han Hao said indifferently from the side: "No matter what kind of enemy you face, you will never fight to the death!"
"Even if you can win the battle, you will lose it."
Han Hao was already saving face, but Xia Houshang didn't take it seriously.
"As timid as a mouse! Bah!"
As a clan general, Xiahou Shang is not afraid of Zhang He. On the contrary, it is the latter who must protect Xiahou Shang at all times.
"Now that the matter has come to this, if you two underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, it is not Zhang He's fault."
Zhang He sighed and said no more.
As a general with a foreign surname, when he commanded the army, he could only be an ordinary soldier.
Look at Xiahou Shang again, with a hundred tiger and leopard cavalry guarding the left and right, and the infantry are all Cao Cao's elite Qingzhou soldiers!
Comparing people with each other makes people angry.
Zhang He raised his eyes and looked at Jiameng Pass, feeling that time was not waiting for us!
The generals guarding the gate are just two old soldiers!
"You two are the reinforcements sent by the young master?"
Meng Da frowned and said: "I thought it was General Guan or General Ma who came to help!"
Mengda's remarks made the two veterans unhappy.
Huo Jun retorted: "Zi Du, General Huang defeated General Guan in Changsha! General Yan is a famous general in Shu!"
"These two people are coming to attack us like tigers! How can you make a mistake?"
Meng Da snorted coldly. As arrogant as he was, the only people under Liu Bei who could catch his eye were Guan, Zhang, Zhao and Ma.
"Meng Zidu, since you look down on the two old generals, why don't I come here?"
When Liu Mang climbed up the tower, Meng Da immediately looked flattering.
"Sir! You are the real reinforcement!"
"If I knew that the young master was coming, why would I be worried?"
"There are currently 5,000 soldiers in Jiameng Pass, and the invading enemies number more than 30,000!"
Meng Da smiled and said: "The spies came to report that the enemy has set up camp eighty miles away!"
Meng Da seemed to be complimenting Liu Mang, but in fact he made the situation between the enemy and ourselves clear.
There are only five thousand people in the pass. If you want to fight, take two old men with you.
"Mengda, what do you mean?"
As a member of Feiyu, Huo Jun said dissatisfied: "Master is here to support us, we just have to obey orders!"
"You are just like that crow, chirping and annoying!"
Meng Da was furious when he heard this, "Huo Jun! The order my lord has given you and me is to defend Jiameng Pass to the death and not allow the enemy to enter Yizhou even half a step!"
"Now, we only have five thousand soldiers. If we divide our troops and go out to meet the enemy, what if we are defeated?"
Huo Jun took out the sword from his waist and sneered: "My young master has never been defeated!"
Meng Da also drew his sword and angrily shouted: "Huo Jun, you dare to be disrespectful to Shangguan, aren't you afraid that I will kill you to enforce military discipline?"
Seeing the two of them at war with each other, Liu Mang stepped forward with a smile and stood in front of them.
"Zhongmiao, why are you talking to General Meng?"
"This is the man who led my father to come to Yizhou."
Nowadays, to stabilize the situation in Yizhou, Dongzhou still needs to send forces.
Fa Zheng was devoted to Liu Mang, but Meng Da was not like that.
Liu Mang couldn't understand what this man was thinking now, but after Liu Feng was defeated by Zhang Ren, this man became silent for a long time.
"Master... Huo Jun knows his mistake!"
"You are right! After all, I have never been defeated before."
Liu Mang smiled and said: "General Meng, may I ask how many troops and horses you can give me?"
"Of course, provided it doesn't affect your ability to defend the city!"
Meng Da laughed when he heard this and said: "My lord, it's not that I'm unreasonable! It's just that the military orders are like a mountain. If we can't defend Jiameng Pass, my lord and Zhuge's military advisor will be blamed. I can't afford it!"
Huang Zhong picked his nose and said dissatisfied: "You kid, just tell me how many people you can give to!"
"It keeps making noise, and if you are a man, just fart loudly!"
As a native of the Yizhou faction, Yan Yan has always looked down upon the Dongzhou faction.
"People from Dongzhou can only talk but not take action!"
"Young Master, don't be surprised. These pampered Dongzhou people are all trash without balls!"
Yan Yan and Huang Zhong sang together, which made Meng Da very angry.
Huang Zhong can't beat him, and Yan Yan can't beat him either!
"At most a thousand! How much more?"
Meng Da then said that in fact, Jiameng Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so even if Liu Mang was given two thousand men, it would not be a problem.
Liu Mang could also directly order Meng Da, but now he was worried about the Dongzhou faction, and it was not yet time to completely fall out before the Battle of Hanzhong was over.
"Okay! If you say a thousand, just a thousand!"
Liu Mang smiled and said: "Everyone has heard that General Meng can spare a thousand men for us to fight!"
Meng Da said worriedly: "Sir, don't be impulsive! There are 30,000 enemy troops, we just need to hold on!"
"It won't be too late to wait until the lord's army arrives and fight the enemy in a decisive battle!"
Meng Da was afraid that Liu Mang would go out to wander around, so he drowned himself in Cao Ying.
Even a blind person can see that Liu Mang is now Liu Bei's designated successor.
If Liu Mang makes a mistake, Liu Bei will not let him go; Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu will not let him go; the Five Tiger Generals will not let him go!
Meng Da even believed that Bajun Gan Xingba would directly mobilize the Jinfan thieves to kill him by water!
"General Meng, it's okay."
"In my eyes, offense is the best defense."
"I have five thousand soldiers and horses under my command, but they are doing nothing. If word spreads about it, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
Liu Mang stood with his hands behind his back and chuckled: "Two old generals, do you dare to come with me to fight?"
Huang Zhong stopped picking his nose, bowed and saluted: "Veteran general, I am willing to go! I will leave this life to the young master!"
Yan Yan also smiled and said: "It is a blessing for the veteran to be able to go to war with the young master! It's a pity that some people don't know their blessings when they are in the midst of blessings!"
Huo Jun immediately wanted to go, but Liu Mang stopped him with his eyes.
Liu Mang is worried if Mengda is left to defend the city alone!
If it weren't for Fazheng's sake, Liu Mang would definitely not let his father Liu Bei reuse this person.
"The veteran takes action, one is worth two!"
"Old Yan! I, Huang Hansheng, can fight ten of them alone!"
Huang Zhongyanyan was in high spirits, and they didn't know what to do until they walked out of Jiameng Pass!
