Chapter 507? Xiliang Art of War
Chen Deng slept very well. In a military camp like this, as long as the soldiers who were prepared for defense were arranged, they would not be hit suddenly. No matter what, the general had time to respond.
"General. Something happened. A fire suddenly surged into the sky in Zhang He's water camp." The personal soldiers entered the back tent, pushed Chen Deng for a while, and reported the report.
Chen Deng was much stronger than Zhang Xiu. He woke up immediately and lifted the quilt and got off the bed and put on his shoes.
"General, do you want to prepare for armor?" asked the personal soldier.
"No need for now." Chen Deng hurriedly put on a coat, without even bringing a sword, and first came to the high platform in the central army camp and looked into the direction of Zhang He's water camp.
The personal soldiers nervously guarded Chen Deng, beware of spies assassination.
After looking at it, Chen Deng showed a thoughtful look, and he was a little unbelievable.
Such a large-scale fire can be clearly seen even if it is several miles apart. Unless Zhang He prepares a lot of wood and then performs a show.
However, this level of show may have accidentally burned down my camp because of the strong wind.
Chen Deng was 90% sure that Zhang He burned his warship and then retreated.
This is incredible.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other Hebei people have gained the advantage in terms of geographical and situations, so why do they retreat?
Could it be that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were a fool for a while? It was impossible. Yuan Shao was dominant in Hebei, and Cao Cao withdrew his troops to the Central Plains. They were all heroes for a while.
After shook his head, Chen Deng no longer cared about this matter. No matter what the process was, the result was that Zhang He retreated. Perhaps it was because of His Majesty's military advisors and priests, and they might have used any strategy.
"Come on. Get ready for the horse and escort me to the Central Army camp." Chen Deng hurriedly got off the wooden platform and gave an order. Soon after, Chen Deng also wore a very light armor and hurriedly led his personal soldiers to ride the horse to the Central Army.
He did not plan to send troops, but he was worried that Hu Zhen and Ma Chao would do something wrong.
"General Chen!!!"
Hu Zhen's personal soldiers who were guarding the central army's tent recognized Chen Deng, put down their guard and bowed. Chen Deng ignored these people and walked in immediately.
The tent was brightly lit, Hu Zhen and Ma Chao were already there. Both of them were wearing armor and sitting on the bench with their left handed hands.
Hu Zhen's face was very calm, while Ma Chao had a murderous aura visible to the naked eye.
"Two generals." Chen Deng let out a sigh and bowed to the two of them.
"General Chen." The two also bowed to Chen Deng.
"General Chen is coming just right. General Ma and I both judged that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao might have really had problems, so we withdrew our troops overnight. General Ma asked to lead 10,000 elite troops under his command to pursue the repelling troops. I wonder what General Chen wanted?"
Hu Zhen glanced at Chen Deng and asked with a smile.
"No." Chen Deng stopped immediately and bowed and said, "Don't pursue the military strategy. Don't pursue the army. What's more, in the dark, if you are ambushed, you will never be able to recover. Now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao retreated their troops and will inevitably go back to Hebei and Bingzhou. Your Majesty can fight steadily and gain a foothold in Hedong and Henei County. You should not lose everything because of impulse."
Ma Chao held the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and the blue veins on the back of his hand burst out, but he endured it and his face became calmer.
Hu Zhen glanced at Ma Chao, smiled and said, "What if I gathered the elite iron armored soldiers with your army, our army, General Ma's troops, and 10,000 people to pursue them?"
Chen Deng's eyes flashed with a flash of light. After planning for a while, he shook his head and said, "It's not worth throwing out ten thousand iron armored soldiers."
"I will be in charge of ten thousand iron armored soldiers, so I can dominate the world. General Chen doesn't need to worry too much." Ma Chao could no longer bear it, stood up and raised his head, with a full momentum.
Chen Deng was about to speak, but suddenly he held back and turned around and asked Hu Zhen, "General Hu, what if I don't follow?"
"You must know that the troops on the north bank are controlled by me." Hu Zhen said with a smile.
Chen Deng took a few breaths, bowed his hand, and said nothing, but just looked at Hu Zhen angrily.
"Go. Let me tell you that I will order all the iron-armored soldiers on the north bank to gather together and gather tens of thousands of people. With Ma Chao as the general, they will lead their troops to pursue Cao Cao, Zhang He and Wen Chou."
Hu Zhen ignored Chen Deng's eyes, stood up, and ordered.
"No." Ma Chao exhaled, with a long-lost smile on his face, and he responded with a loud bang and turned around. Then, the sound of people mobilizing was endless.
"General Hu. Regardless of success or failure, I will submit a letter to the emperor and I will refer to you." Chen Deng calmed down, came to the seat in the account and sat down, and said in a deep voice.
"It's up to you." Hu Zhen said indifferently.
Chen Deng stopped talking, and since things had come to this point, he had no choice. He could not resist a general like Hu Zhen.
Chen Deng didn't say anything, but Hu Zhen smiled and said, "Actually, General Chen doesn't have to be angry. Even if Ma Chao goes, he will not be defeated."
"If I were Cao Cao, I would have been set up in the middle. How could Ma Chao be undefeated?" Chen Deng sneered and said.
"Ma Chao's heroic son was rare in the world. He was young and had a strong spirit. He used him as Lu Bu, and his three armies under his command, and he had tens of thousands of iron-armored soldiers. Even if he was ambushed by Cao Cao, he could fight a bloody battle. If he was defeated, he would only lose one Ma Chao. If he wins, he would be a great achievement. Why not do it?"
Hu Zhen's face finally changed, Chixia suddenly stood up and said excitedly.
Chen Deng looked at Hu Ben's expression and suddenly understood. He said, "This is the military tactic of the people of Xiliang."
"That's right. This is the military tactic of our Xiliang people. When we encounter something [Ruan Yi Wave]." Hu Zhen laughed loudly and said with great enthusiasm.
Although he is more cautious than Hua Xiong and Fan Chou, and he has many tricks. But after all, he is a Western Liang man. The military tactics of the Western Liang man are brave and ruthless, regardless of consequences.
"What if it fails? You throw away ten thousand iron armored soldiers. After Your Majesty has gained a foothold, he will go north to Bingzhou. Without these ten thousand iron armored soldiers, it will be difficult to move forward. What's more, what if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao win, they will fight back?"
Chen Deng sneered and said.
"So what? Compared to winning, losing is nothing. One general succeeds and has tens of thousands of bones. As for the strategic obstacles to Your Majesty, it doesn't matter. With the current population and talent of Liang State, it is not a problem to create another ten thousand or even 50,000 iron-armored soldiers. If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao counterattack, then let Hua Xiong lead the cavalry to the top." Hu Zhen sneered and said.
Chen Deng sighed and was speechless. Hu Zhen, a guy, was reckless when he encountered any problems.
Ma Chao, who was eager to make achievements and seemed brave but unscrupulous, had ten thousand iron-armored soldiers as the sharpest blade. He knew that Cao's army might have ambushed, but he still had to fight.
Can you win or lose?
Is Ma Chao OK? Everything is unknown. And he hates unknown numbers. This kind of mobilizing troops and generals is nothing great if you win. If you lose, you will even vomit blood.
