The reception banquet was very sumptuous, and Zhang Wen had obviously put a lot of thought into it. However, there was no wine because he was on the warpath at any time.
Even so, everyone was enjoying themselves, after all, they usually don’t have such good food!
Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Zhang Wen wanted to take this opportunity to ask Liu Zhang for advice on how to defeat the enemy.
"General Hou, is the food still to your appetite?"
Liu Zhang was very satisfied and thanked Zhang Wen.
"Thank you Zhang Cheqi for your hospitality. Liu Zhang has been sleeping in the open air these days, but he hasn't been able to eat such delicious food for a long time!"
"Hahaha, as long as the general likes it!"
Zhang Wen was also very happy at first, but gradually he put away the smile on his face and began to sigh.
"Why..."
"Why is Zhang Cheqi like this?"
Liu Zhang knew what Zhang Wen was thinking and asked questions directly.
"The general is unaware that since the defeat of Huangfu Song, the Xiliang rebels have become arrogant! I have been entrusted by your majesty with three military auxiliaries, but at present I have no good strategy to defeat the enemy, so I am sad day and night!"
Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Wen with a sad face and kept laughing in his heart.
As expected, he is a nerd, and doing things is not fun at all!
Don't you just want to ask if you have any strategy to defeat the enemy?
Just say no, you don’t have to beat around the bush!
"Zhang Cheqi, the enemy's force is strong, so we need to deal with it carefully! Huangfu Song just wanted to defeat the enemy, so he fell into the enemy's trick and suffered heavy losses!"
Liu Zhang bowed his hand to Zhang Wen, but only responded with a set of official words.
Zhang Wen was obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's answer and kept shaking his head and sighing.
"Hey! Your Majesty has given me high hopes for me, so how can I do nothing here?"
Seeing that Zhang Wen was still testing, Liu Zhang could only continue to play Tai Chi with him.
"Zhang Cheqi doesn't need to be too anxious. Even if we hold on here and stop the enemy here, it will be a great achievement!"
Zhang Wen frowned even more tightly. He didn't know if Liu Zhang really didn't understand what he meant or if he was pretending not to know, so he could only clarify his words.
"The empress general was extremely resourceful and pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I think he must have learned something from Zhang! I hope he will give you some advice!"
This picture of Wen is really boring. I even tactfully excused myself, but I'm still struggling with it!
Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Wen helplessly and kept complaining in his heart.
"Master Zhang has oversold you. Liu Zhang has no plan to defeat the enemy at the moment. Everything needs to be discussed in the long term!"
"Hey, that's the only way it can be."
Zhang Wen nodded in disappointment, and the hope he had pinned on Liu Zhang was shattered.
"Zhang Cheqi, the later general has no good strategy, but the last general has some advice!"
These words immediately caught Zhang Wen's attention. He quickly looked up and saw that it was Dong Zhuo whom he hated.
"What's General Dong's plan?"
Although Zhang Wen didn't like Dong Zhuo, he didn't mind listening to his good advice.
"There is no good strategy other than to press forward with the entire army and fight to the death with the rebels as soon as possible!"
Dong Zhuo looked at Zhang Wen expressionlessly and spoke his thoughts loudly.
Dong Zhuo knew that Zhang Wen had a bad impression of him, so he didn't bother to kowtow to him. In fact, he also had great disdain for scribes like Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen snorted coldly, as if he had heard the funniest joke.
"Isn't General Dong teasing me? The whole army is pressing down? Do you want me to follow in Huangfu Song's footsteps?"
Dong Zhuo didn't care at all about Zhang Wen's cold tone and remained very calm.
"Zhang Cheqi, Dong did not mean this! I was born in Liangzhou and know the Liangzhou Qiang and Hu very well!"
"Beigong Boyu is the leader of the Qiang and Hu, and his prestige is very high! However, many Qiang people have a wait-and-see attitude towards starting a rebellion, and they are still very afraid of the imperial court."
"But this time Beigong Boyu defeated the official army, and the commander of the official army was still the very famous Huangfu Song! This greatly boosted the morale of the Qiang people! Therefore, there must be an endless stream of Qiang people joining the rebellion. The longer it takes, the more I
The more enemies you will face, the more enemies you will face!”
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he didn't care about Zhang Wen's reaction and sat back directly.
Dong Zhuo's attitude was very arrogant and he did not take Zhang Wen seriously at all.
Zhang Wen was originally a docile person, but at this moment, Dong Zhuo was so angry that his eyes filled with anger.
"General Dong, you are too rude!"
Sun Jian, who joined the army, slammed the table, stood up and glared at Dong Zhuo.
"Humph, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this!"
Dong Zhuo noticed that Sun Jian was just joining the army, and his tone was full of disdain.
Liu Zhang had already stayed out of the matter, sitting aside and drinking tea. He also wanted to see how Zhang Wen would end up.
Zhang Wen was already upset because of Liu Zhang's perfunctory behavior, and the quarrel between Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian made him even more troubled.
"Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, you are still thinking about internal strife! What a shame! Sit down!"
Zhang Wen's handling of the situation shocked Liu Zhang. He really felt sorry for Liu Hong for giving him the right to take a holiday!
Sun Jian fell out with Dong Zhuo because of you. It would be better if you don't act like Sun Jian and let Dong Zhuo step down!
No wonder Dong Zhuo doesn't take you seriously! You are so cowardly in the extreme!
Dong Zhuo listened to Zhang Wen's words and sat down directly, leaving Sun Jian looking at Zhang Wen with a puzzled expression.
"Wen Tai, sit down!"
Zhang Wen asked Sun Jian to sit down again and waved to him.
"General Hou, what do you think?"
Liu Zhang did not expect Zhang Wen to throw the problem to him again, but he also felt that he needed to have a head-on collision with the Xiliang army to see if he could find any flaws.
"Reporting to Zhang Cheqi, I think we can try to have direct contact with the Xiliang Army to see if there are any flaws in the Xiliang Army."
Zhang Wen nodded, but was still thinking. He did not agree directly because of Liu Zhang's agreement.
Zhang Wen was afraid that he might be defeated like Huangfu Song and be escorted back to Beijing!
"Report!"
At this moment, the ordering soldier outside the door ran in.
"Report, Xiliang rebel Bian Zhang has sent a letter of challenge!"
"read!"
The ordering soldier opened the letter of war and read aloud,
"When I meet General Zhang Wen, I heard that I am trying to gain fame and reputation, so I only want to buy an official position! But please reorganize your army and horses and fight outside the city tomorrow! If you are timid and do not dare to fight, I will go straight to Chang'an!"
when!
Zhang Wen slammed the table, pointed at the messenger and cursed.
"Bianzhang traitor, you have bullied me too much! He has been living in Han Dynasty for a long time, and he did not think about serving the country but rebelled! Now he dares to slander me!"
"You bullied me too much, bullied me too much!"
"General, forgive me, general, forgive me!"
The ordering soldier was so frightened that he knelt down and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.
The soldiers who ordered the order were filled with regret, why could they be so upright in their actions? Zhang Wen recited it as soon as he read it! He kept greeting Zhang Wen's ancestors in his heart.
"Okay, let's get down!"
Zhang Wen would definitely not vent his anger on his soldiers, so he asked him to leave impatiently, and then looked at everyone.
"The Bian Zhang thief is so deceitful that he doesn't take us seriously at all! I have made up my mind. The whole army will attack tomorrow to fight him to the death!"
