The Three Kingdoms: I can't be a counselor, so I have to divide the world into four parts

Chapter 78

The snow was getting heavier.

In such weather, it was not suitable for fighting.

In addition, Zhang Zhao had no ability to command troops, so more than 8,000 people stayed here for two days, and the camps were set up all over the mountains, but no formal attack was launched.

If they could endure a little hardship and fight in the severe cold.

This mercenary station should have been taken down long ago.

Zhang Zhao and others were born in aristocrats, and they obviously would not endure such hardships.

Many young masters only brought their servants and horses to gild themselves and get some merits.

They never thought of really attacking the city.

However, although the weather was bad, it did not prevent them from pushing and shoving each other in the tent, drinking and having fun.

Zhang Zhao's eldest son Zhang Cheng, wearing armor, lifted the curtain of the military tent and walked in with snow all over his body.

Seeing that the uncles and brothers in the tent were drinking and laughing, talking about black and yellow.

Suddenly, he was a little angry.

He took a few quick steps, stepped forward and bowed:

"Father, uncles and brothers, I just went out to investigate and found that there are no more than a thousand soldiers in the camp."

"Why don't we split our army into two groups, one to dig sand and fill the moat, and the other to attack the water fort by boat."

"With these two sides, we will surely defeat it in one fell swoop."

"If we delay here for a while, if Tang Jian suddenly returns, we will miss the opportunity to fight."

A group of old-timers didn't take Zhang Cheng's words to heart.

Instead, they laughed for a while.

One of them said, "Zhongsi's words may make sense, but the weather is bitterly cold, and it is not the time to use troops."

"How can a commander not understand these things?"

"That's right, nephew Zhongsi, we are very pleased that you have this heart."

"However, in such bitterly cold weather, how can Tang Jian come back in the wind and snow?"

"My dear nephew, why don't you come and sit with me, drink a cup of warm wine, and listen to these uncles talk about military strategies, isn't it wonderful?"

A bunch of brothers from the surrounding tribe also greeted Zhang Chengdao:

"Brother "Captain, our army has more than 8,000 people. Can't we take down a small camp?"

"We camp here just to let them know that our army is powerful. I believe that tomorrow, they will surrender without us sending troops."

"All uncles are masters. Brother may not know the profound intentions."

"That's right, brother, why don't you come and drink with us and wait for them to surrender tomorrow?"

After listening, Zhang Cheng felt that these people were hopeless, so he turned his eyes to Zhang Zhao, who was in the main seat.

Expecting that his father would listen to his advice.

However, Zhang Zhao just shook his head gently at him and said, "My son, there is no need to say more. Your father and your uncles have their own ideas."

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng wanted to go forward and persuade him again.

But he found that Zhang Zhao's face was already angry.

So he could only sigh in his heart and turn around to leave the tent.

Although the snow is heavy, it can't stop people who really want to do things.

How can it be related to the art of war?

It seems that the group of mediocre people in this tent are nothing but good-for-nothings!

Zhang Cheng sighed and walked out of the camp alone.

For two days, the snow showed no sign of stopping.

On the march, the soldiers stepped on the snow, making a squeaking sound.

"Sir, this place is more than 300 miles away from our army's base."

A scout exhaled white air and came to report to Tang Jian.

Tang Jian looked at the weather and said:

"No, we have to speed up."

Lu Kuang rode to Tang Jian and said, "Sir, the weather is cold, the road is difficult, and the soldiers can't walk fast."

"If this goes on, I'm afraid it will take another three days to reach Dantu."

"There are less than a thousand soldiers and horses in the base, I'm afraid it can't hold on for too long. It's better to let my subordinates unify a thousand cavalry, one person with two horses, and change rides. We will definitely reach Dantu in one day and night!"

Tang Jian knew that Lu Kuang was anxious, so he agreed to his request.

All the war horses were immediately transferred to Lu Kuang, and all those who could ride horses were asked to wear thick clothes.

After telling him to be more careful, Lu Kuang led 1,300 cavalrymen, each with two horses, and hurriedly bid farewell to Tang Jian, leading the army to Dantu for reinforcement.

Watching Lu Kuang's men go away, Tang Jianxin also felt the movement of the tide of the times at this moment.

Liu Bei said that the times create heroes, and heroes also create the times.

As long as you stand on the arena of the great struggle, you will inevitably be pushed forward by the rolling torrent.

One step forward means life, one step back means death, and you can't stop at all!

There are many things that you don't want to do, but you have to do them. Just like now, I thought I could go home leisurely to take stock of my gains, and then finalize the next development plan.

But the times came suddenly, and the changes suddenly occurred, leaving Tang Jian with no time at all.

He nowFeeling that he was being torn apart by the general trend and dragged into this torrent of intrigue and deception, he was afraid that he would never have any leisure time in the future.

Tang Jian exhaled a breath of white air, turned his head and said to his captain:

"Order, the whole army should speed up and must arrive in Dantu within three days without any mistakes."

"Those who rush first will be rewarded, and those who are lazy will be punished!"

Tang Jian gave the order, and the heavy team stepped on the snow again and moved again.

After walking in the wind and snow for three days, they finally arrived in Dantu at dusk on the third day.

Outside the mercenary camp, the beacon fires continued and the killing sound continued.

Tang Jian finally put his mind at ease.

As long as they are still fighting, it proves that the camp has not fallen.

I wonder how Lu Kuang and the others are doing? Has Fu Tong arrived?

"Sir!"

As Tang Jian was looking at the camp, a scout ran out of the snow on horseback, with icicles on his eyebrows!

The scout dismounted and said:

"Sir, our garrison has not fallen. Instructor Lu Kuang personally led his troops to charge the enemy in the snow and has captured Zhang Zhao. They have also entered the garrison to defend it."

"The enemy is now attacking the camp repeatedly."

"Captured Zhang Zhao?"

Tang Jian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Oh! This Lu Ziling is really smart in battle and knows how to fight with his brain!"

"He only has more than a thousand cavalrymen under his command. He knows that he has few soldiers and cannot repel the enemy, so he simply charged the enemy and captured Zhang Zhao, and entered the garrison to defend it!"

"He is really a good general among brave generals!"

After laughing, Tang Jian asked again: "Have General Fu and his men arrived?"

The scout replied: "General Fu and his men encountered Sun Quan's navy in Jianye. They fought for three days before they broke through the siege. Nearly half of their ships and men were lost."

"General Fu has left Jianye with his fleet and is expected to arrive in Dantu tonight."

Tang Jian felt sad after hearing this!

Fu Tong brought more than 10,000 people with him, and many of the belongings he picked up from Chibi, but now half of them have been lost!

I didn't expect that after all the hardships, I actually fed Sun Shiwan!

But why did he meet Sun Quan's troops on the river at this time?

Could it be——

"The Battle of Hefei?"

Tang Jian slapped his thigh and recalled!

That's right! It was the Battle of Hefei!

Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao in Chibi, so Sun Shiwan thought he was good enough and sent 100,000 troops to attack Hefei.

As a result, he was killed by Zhang Liao's 800 men!

Okay, okay! Sun Shiwan, I'll remember this account!
