Chapter 95 How about casting Pan Feng?
Although the soldier was afraid, he did not dare not obey the order. Thousands of soldiers also gritted their teeth and rushed up. Looking at the enemy with strict military appearance, Zhang Xiu's heart was actually half cold. This time, he did not take the lead as usual, but looked calmly behind him. If there was a slight situation, he planned to run away.
However, what's more surprising is that it is actually the armies of the Western Regions. How could they expect that there would be pursuers after chasing soldiers? Jia Xu's way of using troops coincided with Cao Cao. The sudden appearance of the Western Liang army caught the armies of the Western Regions unprepared. The chaotic armies of the Western Regions let the Western Liang army take advantage of the situation and flee. All the grain, grass and ordnance that were not in the army fell into the hands of the Western Liang Army.
The united army relies on a momentum. Once the momentum is like a rainbow, they can exert great combat power, but once the momentum is sluggish, the 'union' that is not in the same heart will become a burden. In this raid, the previously lost momentum was completely recovered, and the previously lost ordnance was also earned back by the armies of the Western countries.
When the escort supplies returned, Zhang Xiu had been thinking about this problem. Previously, he was the master of tigers and wolves who took advantage of the victory and chased them. And the second time, it was already a homeless dog with sluggish morale. But why is it easy to win the second time? Zhang Xiu can't figure it out. He, who thought he was familiar with military books since childhood, has now subverted his world outlook. "Is it wrong in military books?" This thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Jia Xu and others are among the first-class counselors of the Three Kingdoms. Zhang Xiu has been very worried since he returned to the camp. He patted his cuffs lightly and returned to the city and said carelessly, "General Zhang, do you have anything to ask?"
After thinking about Zhang Xiu, he still wanted to ask his doubts.
"Mr. Wenhe, what I don't understand is why I failed to take advantage of the victory for the first time, and the second runaway division chased and won a big victory? Is it wrong in the military book?
After listening, Jia Xu just shook his head with a smile.
"Let me tell you a story, maybe you can understand. It is said that during the Warring States Period, a man named Sun Yang in the State of Qin was proficient in horses. No matter what kind of horse, he could distinguish the advantages and disadvantages at a glance. He is often invited to know and choose horses, and people call him Bole.
Zhang Xiu nodded. He is not the kind of illiterate martial artist. Although he can't read poetry and books, he can still read and write. He knows more or less about historical celebrities like Bole.
Jia Xu cleared his throat and continued: "One day, when Sun Yang went out hunting, an old horse dragging a salt cart suddenly came to him. After stopping in front of him, he kept shouting at him. Sun Yang touched the horse's back and concluded that it was a thousand-mile horse, but he was a little older. Lao Ma looked at Sun Yang attentively, and his eyes were full of expectation and helplessness. Sun Yang felt too wronged by this thousand-mile horse. It was originally a BMW good horse that could run on the battlefield, but now it drags the salt car obscurially because it didn't meet Bole, slowly consuming its sharpness and physical strength. It's really a pity! Sun Yang cried sad when he thought of this. Speaking of this, he looked a little complicated, as if he was thinking about something.
Zhang Xiu was also slightly touched when she heard this, as if she nodded in agreement and said, "It's really a pity to use the dragon and phoenix in the horse to pull the car."
"Yes, but sometimes it is also forced to be helpless. Without a wise Lord, even if Qianlima is excellent, it does not have a stage to show." Looking up at the blue sky and spitting out his sadness, Jia Xu brought the topic back again.
"Sun Yang was deeply touched after this incident. He thought, how many thousands of miles of horses in the world were buried by mediocre people? In order to let more people learn to see horses, Sun Yang wrote a book about his experience and knowledge of horses accumulated over the years, with pictures of the shape of various horses, called the Book of Horses. The purpose is to enable the real horse to be discovered, do its best, and spread its own Xiangma technology to the world.
Sun Yang's son read the Xiangma Sutra written by his father and thought it was easy to Xiangma. He thought, with this book, are you still worried that you can't find a good horse? So, I took this book and looked for a good horse everywhere. He looked for it according to the graphics drawn in the book, but couldn't find it. He looked for it according to the characteristics written in the book. Finally, he found a toad in the wild, which was very similar to the characteristics of the thousand-mile horse written in the book. So he excitedly took the toad home and said to his father, "I found a thousand-mile horse, but the horse's hoof was shorter." The father looked at it and was very angry. He didn't expect his son to be so stupid. He sighed sadly, "The so-called according to the picture."
After saying that, Jia Xu looked up and smiled at Zhang Xiu, who was still thinking.
"General Zhang, do you understand?"
"I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand." Zhang Xiu, who was thinking about it, said truthfully.
"General Zhang, in fact, I just want to tell you two words, which is changeable."
"Concrehable?" Zhang Xiu muttered to himself, and his expression was shocked, as if he understood something.
Jia Xu also nodded secretly and said to himself, "You can teach me. It may be a great help for me in the future."
"General, soldiers and horses are also gimmorious. The way of using soldiers needs to be more variable. What's the difference between him and Zhao Kuo? Jia Xu smiled and continued: "When the allied forces in the Western Regions retreated for the first time, I boarded the chariot to watch its formation, and the enemy retreated, but it was orderly and the flag was not chaotic. Therefore, I guess the enemy is not defeated, but a purposeful retreat.
Zhao Kuo and Zhang Xiu still knew a little about it. In the Battle of Changping, the culprit of the 400,000 troops of the State of Zhao were cut off, which made this Central Plains power depressed from then on.
"The allied forces in the Western Regions will definitely cut off the elite troops. Although the general is good at fighting, he can't stand the enemy's plan for a long time. Once the general is defeated, the enemy must relax their vigilance and think that we will not pursue. The elite troops are bound to return to the former army. At this time, we will attack again without being unprepared. The principle of military tactics is attached everywhere, and the focus is on the flexible use of strategy.
Thinking of this scene, Zhang Xiu expressed admiration for Jia Xu. Since then, every time the two armies fight against each other, Zhang Xiu will always ask Jia Xu, so he will win every battle, and he is also a well-known Changsheng general in the Xiliang Army.
Jia Xu felt a lot about the defeat of Feng Yiting. Looking at this desolate scene, he couldn't calm down for a long time. After a long time, he clenched his fists and looked resolutely.
"General, I intend to serve Pan Feng in Hanzhong. I don't know what the general's intention is."
"Pan Feng?" Zhang Xiu was obviously a little surprised, and at the same time, there was a trace of understanding in her heart. That's why I have paid attention to Wei Yan's whereabouts for so many days!
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and had always been calm. He was also slightly panicked at this time. This sentence belonged to the sinking of the boat. It took him a long time to decide to follow Pan Feng. Li Wei and Guo Yan now have a slight tendency to turn against each other. Jia Xu also sincerely assisted Li Wei, but with the attack on Chang'an. Li's nature is gradually revealed. He is arrogant and luxurious* and greedy to enjoy. How can such a person achieve great things?
Seeing a group of loyal ministers being slaughtered, the people in Chang'an were in deep heat. Jia Xu knew that he was wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong. If it weren't for his own words, maybe Li Wei and Guo Yan are just green forest heroes who gather in the mountains and forests now.
Zhang Xiu has not had a good time recently. Most of Chang's military power is in the hands of Li Yu and Guo Yan, but in addition to them, Zhang Xiu, a general of Jianzhong, also holds a considerable number of soldiers and horses. His strength is not as good as the two, and he is regarded as two threats to Li Wei and Guo Wei.
Although both of them are tense, both of them are tacitly resistant to Zhang Xiu. How can they let outsiders get involved in the regime of Chang'an? Under the everywhere of the two, Zhang Xiu has been quite aggrieved in recent days.
"Sir, why did you turn to Pan Feng?" After a period of humiliation, Zhang Xiu doesn't want to live under others now.
Runan has suffered from the chaos of the yellow scarf, and now the remnants of the yellow scarf live here. If we ask for an order to eliminate the thieves. It's just that I can occupy Wancheng logically, and I have a gentleman to help me. Zhang Xiu believes that we must stand still in Wancheng, which is not better than us living under others?
Jia Xu smiled, and his deep eyes were like Sirius in the night, always shining with wisdom. After brushing his sparse beard, he said slowly, "General, let me ask you, even if we occupy Wancheng. So what are your plans for the future?"
"Are you going to?" Zhang Xiu's eyes were a little confused, "We occupy Wancheng, and then we will manage it well to enhance our strength and then compete in the Central Plains."
Jia Xu shook his head gently and pointed to the sky and said, "When you want to achieve a big event, it is indispensable. To the north of Wancheng is Yanzhou Cao, to the east is Nanyang Yuanshu, and to the south is Jingzhou Liubiao. If the general occupies Wancheng, it will be Cao Cao's confidant. The potential threat of Liubiao and Yuan Shu, so I'm sure that these three will never let the generals make you bigger. With more than 10,000 of us alone, how long does the general think we can hold on?
"But I'm still worried." Zhang Xiu's expression was full of worries. If he had always listened to Jia Xu's advice without hesitation. But at this time, this is related to his future and fate, and Zhang Xiu has to be very cautious.
Although Pan Feng is nominally the lord of Hanzhong, his strength is not strong. There is another Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Even if we want to invest in effective, we still have to invest in a powerful and promising prince!"
"The icing on the cake is never as good as sending charcoal in the snow. We will never be reused. Believe me, General, I have been paying attention to the situation in Hanzhong for a long time, Pan Feng, the dragon and phoenix among people. Hanzhong is located in a remote area, and it is bound to avoid the heroes of the Central Plains to compete for hegemony. Sooner or later, the general will die. Does the general dare to fight with me?
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll believe you again."
