As soon as Zhang Wen gave the order to fight Bian Zhang, Sun Jian stood up and stopped him.
"Zhang Cheqi calm down. The Bian Zhang traitor is certainly hateful, but if you send troops rashly, you will inevitably fall into his scheme."
Sun Jian, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally knew that Zhang Wen's state would definitely give the enemy an opportunity, so he quickly stopped him.
"I have made up my mind, no need to persuade me any more!"
When Zhang Wen heard Sun Jian's obstruction, he became even more angry and scolded him directly.
"Zhang Cheqi, I..."
Sun Jian wanted to speak more, but he saw Liu Zhang shaking his head at him.
"Why!"
Sun Jian sighed, looking completely disappointed.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Zhang Wen's anger calmed down a little.
"Generals, we will cook at three o'clock tomorrow and leave the city at five o'clock tomorrow. We must give the rebels a head-on blow in this battle!"
Everyone stood up together and accepted the order with their hands in hand.
"promise!"
Zhang Wen saw that everyone had received his general orders, but Liu Zhang was sitting aside without saying anything. He immediately asked.
"General? Do you have a different opinion?"
Liu Zhang also stood up and bowed his hands.
"Zhang Cheqi is worried too much. Liu Zhang has no objection. It's just that my soldiers have traveled a long distance and are very tired! I want them to rest for a few days before going to the battlefield. I wonder if Zhang Cheqi can agree?"
When Zhang Wen heard this, his face immediately dropped, and his eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at Liu Zhang.
You Liu Zhang, I treat you so politely, it doesn’t matter if you don’t help me defeat the enemy, but you actually dare to challenge me!
No matter what, anyway, ten thousand people more than you are not much, and ten thousand people less than you are not much!
"Since the general is unwilling to go into battle, it's hard for Zhang to force him! Tomorrow's defense of the city will be left to the general!"
"Thank you!"
Liu Zhang didn't care about Zhang Wen's attitude, his goal had been achieved.
"Okay, generals, let's make arrangements as soon as possible!"
After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he walked away directly without even looking at Liu Zhang again.
"Hehehehehe..."
Liu Zhang stood up and couldn't help but laugh out loud as he watched Zhang Wen leave with relief.
"Why is the general laughing?"
Sun Jian walked to Liu Zhang's side, still looking sad, probably still worried about Zhang Wen's reckless behavior.
"Brother Wentai, it's nothing. Zhang Cheqi is so determined, shouldn't we be happy for him?"
Sun Jian looked at Liu Zhang strangely. Although he didn't know what Liu Zhang meant, he was definitely not as righteous as he said!
"Why did the general later stop me from trying to dissuade Mr. Zhang?"
Liu Zhang really convinced Sun Jian, why is he so stubborn! No wonder he let the Yuan brothers play around and finally died under random arrows!
"Zhang Cheqi was originally a scribe. He was despised by the generals because he had no experience in leading troops. Now he has finally made up his mind to fight the rebels. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing for him to stop him? What's more, he came to you personally.
Come join the army!",
Sun Jian couldn't understand Liu Zhang's words at all. If he followed Liu Zhang's words, wouldn't it be like playing tricks?
"How can things on the battlefield be child's play? How can you take personal dignity into consideration? Don't you know that the Art of War says that if you don't get angry, you raise an army, and if you don't get angry, you start a war! Today is obviously a side chapter..."
"Wen Tai!"
Liu Zhang shook his head helplessly and directly interrupted Sun Jian's long speech.
"Wen Tai, those who are good at fighting not only know how to win, but also learn how to defeat."
Liu Zhang only explained this sentence, ignored Sun Jian, turned around and walked out.
"General in the rear? General in the rear!"
No matter how Sun Jian shouted from behind, Liu Zhang ignored him.
Liu Zhang knew that he couldn't explain it to Sun Jian. This reckless man only knew how to fight and kill. He wanted to defeat the enemy head-on. How could he understand his intentions?
Liu Zhang did not go to the residence arranged by Zhang Wen, but took Jia Xu and Xunyou directly to the military camp. He wanted to understand the current situation.
"Wenhe, Gongda, what do you think?"
Liu Zhang looked at the two people around him. Although these two people were silent in the room, they were not doing nothing.
"My lord, Zhang Wen is a man of great ambition and talent, but he cannot be put to great use! What Bian Zhang said may not be untrue..."
Xun You had been in Luoyang for many years and was once an aide to General He Jin. He must have some understanding of Zhang Wen, who was once a great agricultural officer.
Liu Zhang curled his lips, revealing a disdainful smile.
"It would be strange if Zhang Wen could defeat the rebels! This time he led the troops to fight Bian Zhang, just to give him a taste of defeat."
"My lord seems to have predicted that Zhang Wen will be defeated?"
Liu Zhang nodded to Jia Xu, his expression unusually confident.
"Although Zhang Wen claims to have a hundred thousand troops, more than half of them are new soldiers and county soldiers, with low combat effectiveness! His only reliance is the 30,000 cavalry in his hands, and the 10,000 elite infantry left by Huangfu Song."
"These forces should be enough to fight against the Xiliang rebels, right?"
Liu Zhang glanced at Jia Xu angrily. This guy was asking questions knowingly again.
"Wen He is making fun of me again! If Sun Jian leads these troops, he can give the Xiliang army a run for his money. As for Zhang Wen..."
"Haha, you know...hehe..."
Xun You was also amused by Liu Zhang's words and couldn't help asking,
"My lord, do you think so highly of Sun Wentai?"
Liu Zhang nodded. Sun Jian's bravery was more than just a few words recorded in history.
"This man is not a simple man. He is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong! His military force and leadership ability are no less than those of Huang Zhong and others!"
Jia Xu had never heard of Sun Jian's name. He thought Liu Zhang was just being polite, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to think so highly of him!
"Then Sun Jian just joined the army, why didn't my lord recruit him?"
Recruiting Sun Jian? Liu Zhang wanted to do it too, and even got Sun Ce as a gift!
What a pity, how can a person like Sun Jian be willing to remain under the hands of others? Sooner or later he will rebel!
"Are golden scales something from the pool? That Sun Jian has great ambitions, he must not be someone who has lived under others for a long time!"
"Let's go back to the camp quickly. Han Sheng and the others should still be waiting for us."
Liu Zhang saw that it was getting very late and urged the two of them to rush back to the camp as soon as possible.
There is no need to participate in the battle against the Xiliang rebels tomorrow, but the heavy responsibility of defending the city has fallen on himself.
And Liu Zhang always had a feeling that there would be no peace tomorrow, and even Meiyang City probably wouldn't be too peaceful either!
When they returned to the camp, Huang Zhong and the others were already waiting in the commander's tent.
"Han Sheng, are everything settled?"
Liu Zhang was most concerned about the condition of his soldiers. He didn't know how long this war would last. These 10,000 soldiers were his guarantee and confidence!
"Don't worry, my lord, all the soldiers have been settled and the supplies have been distributed. The people on Zhang's chariot are very cooperative."
Liu Zhang looked at Jia Xu and Xun You with a playful smile.
"It seems that Zhang Wen really has good intentions for me!"
Seeing Liu Zhang like this, Jia Xu couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Wen is really stupid! He wanted to please Liu Zhang, but he offended Liu Zhang again!
