Chapter 1428 Water is in constant force, soldiers are in constant form(2/2)
"Uh, that's exactly."
Zhang Bao was a little surprised. How could Zhao Erlang come from the north?
Shouldn’t he come from the northeast along the Zhang River like himself?
However, Zhang Bao's doubt did not last long.
Because Zhao Guang came very quickly.
When the setting sun dyed the mud like blood-coagulated purple, Zhao Guang and the iron cavalry he led appeared in Zhang Bao's eyes in the sky, stepping on the smoke and dust.
"Hahaha! Brother Zhang, I'm here!"
Zhao Guang was as energetic as ever, heartless:
"How? Did Sima Yi block it?"
Zhang Bao, who came to greet him, looked silent, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:
"I have never. I am incompetent because of my brother. When I arrived here, I was careless and underestimated the enemy and was plotted by the thief. Therefore, Sima Yi escaped in front of me."
He was hit by Sima Yi twice in a row, which caused Zhang Bao a significant blow in the past few days.
But being able to say these words calmly also means that you have grown a lot.
Of course, this is also because the relationship between Guan, Zhang and Zhao families has always been close, so there is no need to avoid too much in speaking.
After all, my father can be regarded as a friend of life and death.
By Zhao Guang and Zhang Bao's generation, although the Han Dynasty continued to recover the old land over the years, and everyone fought everywhere and met less than before, their relationship did not become unfamiliar.
Zhang Bao said, pulling the horse's head at the same time, moving sideways away, pointing to the south bank, looking ugly:
"Let's see, Sima Yi even dug the Zhang River in order to stop us from pursuing..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guang looked around, took a few steps forward, raised his telescope, and when he saw clearly the situation not far away, he couldn't help but startled:
"Sima Yi is so cruel? My brother's cruel name is really up to him!"
Zhang Bao took a deep breath again.
It’s one thing to be close, but even brothers sometimes can’t control their temper, right?
Zhao Erlang has been with his brother-in-law for so many years, and the relationship between them is even stronger than that of Zhao Dalang.
This guy is still alive and lively. I don’t know if it’s his life or his ruthlessness. Feng Guiwang is kind and ruthless.
Thinking of this, Zhang Bao grabbed the horse's belly and followed a few steps, asking:
"By the way, why did you come from the north? General Zhendong? Also, have you ever seen the Grand Sima?"
"Oh, oh, ah...ah, General Zhendong is worried that Brother Zhang, you will suffer a loss when you meet Sima Yi, so he specially asked me to come in a hurry."
Zhao Guang carefully put away the telescope and explained:
"When Juyongguan that day, General Zhendong asked us to rest in the pass for a few days, and then took us to Changshan County."
Speaking of this, Zhao Guang's face became a little more eyebrow-like again and said enthusiastically:
"When I arrived in Changshan County, I finally knew what it means to return home in glory. No wonder Xiang Yu would rather not want Guanzhong than go east..."
"By the way, Brother Zhang, you have also returned to Zhuo County. How do you feel?"
Zhang Bao took a deep breath for the third time and said slowly:
"Talk about the main business first. You can talk about this later."
"Just, that's it. I went to Changshan County, so I naturally came from the north. As for General Zhendong and Grand Sima, I had to recruit surrendered troops from Jingxing, so it would take a few days to arrive."
"The surrendered troops from Jingxing?" This time, Zhang Bao asked in surprise, "I see that Sima Yi led a large army of less than 50,000 or 60,000 infantry and cavalry. Could it be that he still has the troops in Jingxing?"
"Of course there are, and there are quite a few." Zhao Guang replied, "The guard is Sun Li, who leads 30,000 defenders to defend Weize Pass to death."
"If General Zhendong had not led his army to cut off his retreat from Changshan County, the Grand Sima would have to spend a lot of effort to attack Xiaguan City."
When Zhang Bao heard this, he suddenly realized:
"No wonder, I just said that Sima Yi's army had crossed the water, so why didn't my sister see you yet? Well, the trace of Grand Sima."
Then, as if he thought of something, his face changed again:
"Sima Yi was not the one who led the army to retreat, but concealed military information from the Weizeguan Guards to delay time, right?"
Zhao Guang nodded repeatedly:
"Oh, Brother Zhang is really right! We interrogated the surrendered generals afterwards, and they all said that they did not know about Youzhou."
"But Sun Li, when he learned that he had been abandoned by Sima Yi, he actually wanted to continue to guard the city to death, but the people below were unwilling to accompany him to die."
"Brother, oh, it's the Grand Sima, who gave them a three-day deadline. On the third day, the thieves in the city themselves started internal strife. Sun Li was chopped off his head and received his merits in the midst of the war..."
When Zhang Bao heard Zhao Guang say this lightly, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Although he had experienced Sima Yi's cruelty, he had 30,000 troops and loyal generals who had abandoned him as soon as he said he could.
Zhang Bao thought he couldn't do it.
Moreover, the tradition of the great man did not allow him to do this.
What is tradition?
The tradition is that when the late emperor traveled south from Xinye, Cao Cao was following his troops, but he was still unwilling to abandon the people and take the lead.
The king will not let the people down, and the people will not let the king down.
The tradition is that the late emperor entrusts all state affairs to the prime minister, who devotes his efforts and dies of illness on the way to the Northern Expedition.
The king will not let down his ministers, but the ministers will not let down his kings.
There is also my brother-in-law who often says that the world is the world of the world, not the world of one person.
The opening of new schools, implementing new policies, and forming new troops will benefit the world. The three rises of the Han Dynasty are in sight, because it has received support from the people of the world.
Sima Yi first abandoned 30,000 soldiers, regardless of the lives and death of the soldiers.
Later, it flooded the south bank of the Zhang River, regardless of the lives and death of the people.
What is this not to abandon the world?
"It's just a pity that this time, Grand Sima finally missed Sima Yi. Sima Yi was abandoning his tail and escaping, but Grand Sima actually gave an additional three-day deadline."
Zhang Bao sighed.
"It's not that right?" Zhao Guang still looked indifferent. "This time I came here. In addition to being instructed by General Zhendong, the Grand Sima actually gave me some instructions and asked me to tell Brother Zhang."
"Hmm? Is there anything that Grand Sima wants to tell me?"
"It's for us two."
"What did Grand Sima say?"
"Well, Sima Yi ran away and ran away. If it is not necessary, don't chase him anymore. He has his own arrangements for the rest."
"He has his own arrangements?"
If it were before, when Zhang Bao heard this, he would have been angry again, saying that he would let the tiger go in the mountains and forests.
But now, Zhang Bao understands that even Sanniang sees far-reachingly than herself.
With his own talent, he is far from able to see the level of the fight between his brother-in-law and Sima Yi.
If you speak easily, you will only make you look shallow and ignorant.
Zhang Bao asked with a thoughtful look on his face:
"What do you mean is that Grand Sima is sure that I can't stop Sima Yi, or is he willing to let Sima Yi go?"
Zhao Guang touched his head and hesitated:
"I don't know this. Anyway, I'm just a person who is talking. What does my brother say? Just do it, why bother with it?"
I... Cao!
Zhang Bao was stuck in his heart in one breath and almost couldn't breathe.
Just such a guy is famous all over the world with three thousand iron cavalry?
