There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Ji turned around to say hello, but he saw two strong generals dressed in generals riding to his side.

Facing Yan Xing's puzzled eyes, Zhang Ji introduced him with a smile: "These two people, one is my nephew Zhang Xiu, who is quite famous in Liangzhou, and the other is Hu Che'er, who is The most valiant and skilled warrior under my account."

After finishing speaking, he turned to the two of them and said, "I'm still here to meet General Yan."

Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er greeted Yan Xing on the horse.

Yan Xing scanned the two of them back and forth, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Yan Xing grew up in Liangzhou since he was a child. He has experienced turmoil for a long time and is proficient in martial arts. Just by looking at him, he knows that these two people are definitely not ordinary people, at least they are both above Zhang Ji.

Especially that Zhang Xiu, although he was only in his thirties, he was quite famous in Liangzhou. Yan Xing had also heard of his reputation when he was in Jincheng.

Yan Xing was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "Yan was lucky to know the two of you, and I'm afraid it will have to rely on the efforts of you two for this fierce battle against the Xuzhou Army."

Zhang Xiu and Hu Cheer heard the words and saluted.

Yan Xing turned his head and said to Zhang Ji: "Mr. Zhang is a senior. Yan intends to make great contributions this time. Later, when Zhao Yun and the Huainan soldiers are fighting hard, Yan will go to deal with Zhao Yun and others, and General Zhang will go. Capture Yuan Yao alive at the rear, and achieve great success... At that time, there will be Liu Xun to help, so nothing will happen."

Zhang Ji was moved when he heard this.

He cupped his hands at Yan Xing and said, "General Yan has treated you so kindly, Ji is very grateful."

Yan Xing laughed loudly, and said: "It's just a trivial matter, why is Mr. Zhang doing this? It's just that the spies from the Eagle and Snake Mansion reported that Zhao Yun was very capable and difficult to deal with... Yan may be a little powerless to deal with him."

After finishing speaking, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er.

Zhang Ji is also an old fritter who has been in the army for many years. When he saw Yan Xiang's performance, he immediately said: "General Yan has many difficulties in dealing with Zhao Yun. Why don't you let your little nephew and Hu Che'er lead our troops to help you? how?"

Yan Xing heard the words and wondered: "Where is that Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Ji laughed loudly: "It's nothing! I just captured Yuan Yao alive, and with Liu Xun's help, I think it's nothing. General Yan doesn't have to worry about me!"

Chapter 435 The Potter's Bet

The main force of the pottery merchants was about to reach the territory of Wu County at this moment.

Due to the slow response to Cao Cao's move, Xuzhou's military preparations were relatively hasty. This time the potter did not use up all the armed forces, because he did not have so much time to prepare. He only ordered the most elite troops under his command, the Xuzhou Army He Jin led the army with a total of [-] soldiers, accompanied by Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other senior generals, and went straight to the west front of Xuzhou.

About three hundred miles away from Wu County, the potter suddenly thought of something.

Do you want to lead soldiers and horses to suddenly appear on the battlefield in Wu County so early?

Now I just figured that Cao Cao would send troops to snatch Yuan Yao and the others from him, but with Cao Cao's treachery and viciousness, he would definitely not let the main force of his central army appear so soon.

Based on Cao Cao's urgency, he must have sent a general as a vanguard officer just like he sent Zhao Yun, while the main force of Cao's army led by him is to wait for the day, to respond to all changes without change, and to strike later.

After figuring this out, the pottery merchant was not in a hurry to rush into the army. He asked Guo Jia to express his thoughts and asked him to help him in detail.

After hearing what the pottery said, Guo Jia remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, Guo Jia stood up and said to the potter: "Guo has a plan, but he is only [-]% sure. If Guo's conjecture is correct, then Cao Jun will return without success. If not, ours will return." The situation may be passive, it depends on whether you dare to take a risk, Grand Tutor."

The potter's eyes blinked, and he said, "What kind of calculation is it?"

Guo Jia got up and led the potter to the map in the tent, and said to him: "There is a valley between Wu County and Chaoqiu County, named Lu Valley. People pay attention to it, and Guo Mou only knew about this mountain road when he asked his subordinates to explore the topography of Xuzhou after he became the head of the school affairs office. The best place to hide soldiers..."

The potter seemed to be stunned: "What do you mean?"

Guo Jia looked at the potter deeply, and said: "If Cao Cao led an army to the west of Xuzhou to grab people, if Guo was him, he would definitely station troops here... But if we change our course now and go straight to Lugu If Cao Cao is not there, we will not be able to cope with Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang in our county, and I am afraid that we will lose everything by then."

Tao Shang patted his palms lightly, and said calmly: "But if Tao successfully stops Cao Cao's central army, then with Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang's abilities, they will definitely have a way to deal with Cao's partial division! And here I am. This time, Zhuge Liang was equipped with a battalion of sharp weapons, and with his wisdom, he cooperated with Zhao Yun's good fighting skills... No matter which Cao general goes, he should be able to win! At that time, the one who will get nothing will be Cao Cao."

Guo Jia couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words: "What is a sharp weapon...?"

The potter didn't answer him directly.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Tell Xu Huang, the whole army should change direction and go to Lu Gu!"

Guo Jia was surprised when he heard the words: "Have you really made up your mind? Guo is just guessing on this matter, in case Cao Cao is not here..."

There was a smile on the corner of the potter's mouth: "If Cao Cao is not here, at worst, I will lose Yuan Yao's people who moved to the north to him! Gambling, there is always a little risk... winning in danger Man, whose life is not all tears?"

Guo Jia smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said, "I really admire you, sometimes why does Guo feel that your life is like playing a game?"

The potter snapped his fingers lightly and said, "Because I can play well."

When Guo Jia heard this, his face suddenly changed.

I've never seen someone who can climb a pole like this, shameless.

……

The Tao merchant made up his mind to take a gamble, and completely handed over the front of Wu County to Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang, while he himself led the main force of the Chinese army to divert to the north to meet the main force of Cao Cao whom he believed to be the main force.

Zhao Yun is now fighting the Huainan Army bravely.

The troops of Liu Pi, Gong Du and Zhou Cang are holding on to Yuan Yao's main formation at this moment, even though Liu Xun commanded the Huainan soldiers to fight Zhao Yun, they will not intervene in the slightest.

Although Huainan's soldiers and horses were more than twice that of Zhao Yun's, no matter how fierce the Huainan soldiers attacked, they would not be able to defeat Zhao Yun's stronghold.

It's just because the ten thousand troops under Zhao Yun's command are the elite of Jinling City, and they have already set up defensive positions on the official roads to prevent Huainan soldiers from overstepping the thunder pool.

Of course, it was Zhao Yun himself and the Jinling White Horse Army behind him that caused the Huainan Army the most headaches.

On the head of the city of Wu County, the soldiers who had been observing the situation in the distance passed the news to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly boarded the top of the city, carefully watching the situation on the official road in the distance.

Since Zhao Yun's Dazhai was set up some distance away from our county, Zhuge Liang couldn't see the situation on the battlefield clearly for a while, and could only hear the distant shouts of killing and the sound of horseshoes rushing back and forth.

Although the specific situation is not very clear, through some subtle details, everyone can still see that Zhao Yun has the upper hand at the moment.

Seeing this, the officials in our county couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Even if 1 people fight twice as many enemies, this Zhao Yun is really a famous general.

"Xianzun, let's go out of the city to meet General Zhao!"

Facing those county officials who were eager to try, Zhuge Liang did not lose his mind. He swayed his lupine gently, as if he was thinking about something.

"Let's not be in a hurry, Huainan soldiers, General Zhao and his subordinates are enough to deal with it... What we have to wait for is the enemy who has not yet arrived here."

Enemies not here yet?

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, all inexplicable in their hearts.

Who could Zhuge Liang be referring to?
