At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Imperial Palace, Liu Hong's study

"Why is Your Majesty calling this humble minister?"

Liu Hong looked at Liu Zhang beside him, and the anger in his heart eased a little.

"Aiqing, it seems that your marriage with Wannian will be delayed."

When Liu Zhang heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Liu Hong suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Huangfusong's defeat disrupted my plan! The royal mausoleum is of great importance, and there must be no mistakes! I can only let you go to the northwest in advance!"

Liu Zhang didn't expect that Huangfusong's defeat would have such a big impact on Liu Hong, which made him a little panicked!

"Your Majesty, the military exercise will be..."

Liu Hong nodded, he couldn't care less about the military exercise.

"The military exercise will be canceled for the time being! I know you will marry a concubine the day after tomorrow, so I won't make things difficult for you."

"How about this, I will give you a few more days, at the latest on the tenth day of the lunar new year, you must organize your armaments and rush to the northwest battlefield."

The pressure spread to Liu Zhang in an instant, and the soldiers under his command were still doing their best to cope with the military exercise, but they didn't expect to go directly to the battlefield!

Seeing that Liu Zhang stood aside and did not speak, Liu Hong also seemed anxious.

"What, is there any difficulty?"

Liu Zhang came back to his senses, bowed his hands to Liu Hong.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if there are any difficulties, I will definitely overcome them!"

"Okay, as expected of my valued consort!"

Liu Hong likes Liu Zhang's unafraid of hardships and dangers, his youthful and vigorous appearance.

"If you need anything, you can tell me, but whatever I can give you, feel free to ask."

Liu Zhang also didn't care whether Liu Hong was being polite to him or whether he was really so generous this time, so he directly mentioned it.

"Your Majesty, can you provide some excellent equipment for this expedition?"

Liu Zhang knew Liu Hong's temperament, as long as he didn't ask him for money, he shouldn't be rejected.

If Liu Zhang didn't expect it, Liu Hong agreed immediately.

"I will send an order to He Jin immediately, telling him to fully support your Western Expedition."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will return in triumph!"

After leaving the palace, Liu Zhang didn't dare to delay, and went straight back to the General's Mansion, and summoned all his subordinates.

In the hall, Jia Xu, Xun You, two military advisers, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun gathered together.

"Everyone, according to Chang'an's urgent report, Huangfu Song lost the battle against the rebel army, lost troops and lost generals, and was trapped in Meiyang City. His Majesty has now dismissed him as General Zuo Cheqi."

"Your Majesty is worried about the loss of the mausoleum, so he has moved Zhang Wen to be the general of chariots and cavalry. During the holidays, he will lead the army to fight against the Liangzhou rebels. And we will also rush to the northwest in six days!"

Everyone was slightly startled, they didn't expect that the time to go to the Northwest was moved forward by a whole month!

"My lord, will the military exercise be cancelled?"

Liu Zhang looked at Huang Zhong and nodded, "The situation is urgent now, Your Majesty can't wait for the military exercise."

Seeing that everyone wanted to ask questions, Liu Zhang quickly stopped them.

"Everyone, don't ask if there are too many. You go to the barracks to rectify the army horses and pack up the equipment. Your Majesty said that He Jin will fully support this armament. You must choose carefully and don't show mercy!"

All the generals looked happy, and with good equipment, their combat effectiveness would surely increase exponentially!

"Zilong, please send someone to contact Wei Ke as soon as possible and tell him about our situation. No matter how many troops they have, ask him to bring them to us on the ninth day of the lunar new year!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhao Yun surrendered directly, even if Liu Zhang didn't mention it, he would take the initiative to ask for his order.

"The two military advisers stay here, generals, hurry up and prepare!"

The four of Huang Zhong resigned, and only Jia Xu and Xun You were left in the room.

"My lord, do you know how Huangfusong was defeated?"

Xun You was very surprised by Huangfusong's defeat. Huangfusong has been famous for a long time, how could he be defeated by the rebels so easily?

"Hey, Huangfusong was eager to win, and wanted to take advantage of the Xiliang rebels' unsteady foothold to make a sudden attack. The result was indeed as Huangfusong expected. The Xiliang rebels were defeated and fled in a panic! But who Knowing that the Xiliang army was bluffing, they set up an ambush on the way! Huangfusong thought it would be a battle, but unfortunately he was flanked by the Xiliang army and suffered heavy casualties!"

"How could this be? Huangfusong shouldn't be so reckless!"

Xun You couldn't understand Huangfusong's defeat. In his heart, Huangfusong was a rigorous person, how could he fall into the trick of luring the enemy?

Liu Zhang also shook his head, he also did not expect Huangfusong to be defeated, and he was defeated so thoroughly.

"Over there, Zhang Hansui went to Guanzhong. It must not last long. As long as he can't hold on, it won't take long. The enemy will naturally run out of food and retreat."

"Don't Huangfusong know such a simple truth? Do you want to fight to the death as soon as you come up?"

Just when Liu Zhang, Xun You and the two didn't understand Huang Fusong's reckless behavior, Jia Xu who was on the side looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Why are Wenhe laughing?"

Jia Xu didn't answer Xun You's question, but kept laughing.

"My lord, how can Huangfu Song be undefeated when he raised his army due to anger?"

"Sun Tzu said: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know the enemy but know yourself, you will win and lose once; if you do not know the enemy and yourself, you will be imperiled in every battle."

"Then Huangfu Song didn't understand the situation of the Xiliang Army at all, so he rushed to a decisive battle. If he won, it would be unreasonable!"

Liu Zhang gently stroked his chin with his hand, thinking about Jia Xu's words in his mind.

"Wenhe, why did Huangfusong raise his troops out of anger? Where did his anger come from?"

"Of course it's you, my lord!"

Jia Xu smiled softly and pointed at Liu Zhang with his finger.

"Me? I didn't offend him!"

"Hahaha, my lord, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, people in the world only know that the later general Liu Zhang wiped out the Yellow Turban by himself. Who still remembers the three heroes of the Han Dynasty?"

"Huangfusong felt unwilling inside and was pressured by the eunuchs outside, so he chose to take the risk, hoping that the rebels would fight!"

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Xun You suddenly realized.

"I see. No wonder Huangfusong uses troops like this! Since ancient times, those who are eager for quick success have never ended well!"

Liu Zhang secretly gave Jia Xu a thumbs up, once again refreshed this poisonous man's perception of people.

Liu Zhang had to admire Jia Xu's analysis and insight into people's hearts. Perhaps in the late Han Dynasty, no one could have more insight into people's hearts than him!

"Huangfusong is already a grasshopper after autumn, and he won't be able to jump for a few days! His Majesty has decreed that he should be dismissed and his title removed!"

"Now I want to discuss with the two military advisers, which of you two will go to the northwest with me?"

Jia Xu and Xun You looked at each other, but neither took the initiative to speak.

Whoever goes to the Northwest is really quite embarrassing. After all, this is a good opportunity for meritorious service!

Liu Zhang himself was in a bit of a dilemma. He was afraid that he would bring one with the other with ideas, but he couldn't bring them all. The General's Mansion of Empress Luoyang still needs to operate, and there must be no one in charge.

In fact, Liu Zhang is more inclined to Xun You, after all, Xun You's strength is to march and fight! He can often grasp the enemy's very small flaws, thus giving a fatal blow!

But Jia Xu is fine, Jia Xu is from Liangzhou, so his judgment on the situation in Liangzhou will definitely be more accurate, and any conspiracy will never escape his eyes!

People hate less when they use it! Liu Zhang couldn't help feeling that his advisers were still too short.

"Wenhe, go with the lord!"

"Gongda go with the lord!"

Just when Liu Zhang was in trouble, the two even recommended each other to go out with the army at the same time!
