A valley dozens of miles north of Weizhou, where 20,000 bare-shirted troops gathered here and hid in the valley, have been there for two days.

More than a dozen generals gathered together, pointing and discussing with each other with the map on the table.

Lee Zongyao stood not far away, staring at the entrance of the valley, waiting for the scout to return.

At this time, more than a dozen cavalrymen rushed into the valley, and the leading officers came to the innermost point. When they got close to Lee Zongyao, they turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and reported loudly: "General, Tian Zhang's army was two hundred miles away from Pingzhou. They stopped and began to set up camps. Perhaps they had to rest for one night. Among them, 10,000 cavalry went to Pingzhou, and their movements were unknown."

Lee Zongyao pointed at him and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to Pingzhou and kill this cavalry for me. If there is any news, I will report it immediately."

"Yes, General, the last one will immediately arrange someone to go to Pingzhou."

After saying that, the scout officer stood up and left.

Lee Zongyao quickly walked to Lee Congshan and others.

"There is news from Tian Zhang, the third general."

Lee Cong-sun looked at Lee Zongyao: "Say."

Lee Zongyao said: "Tian Zhang's main force is two hundred miles away from Pingzhou. He rests on the spot. Judging from the signs, he has to rest for one night, but 10,000 cavalrymen went to Pingzhou, and the trends are unknown."

Upon hearing the news, Wang Chufang immediately grinned and said, "Old boy Tian Zhang must have known that the fight in Pingzhou has started. He wants to watch the side of the country coldly and wait to get a bargain."

Yang Shan said to Li Congshan: "Three Generals, this is an opportunity. Tian Zhang only sent 10,000 cavalry to Pingzhou. We can run over and destroy this cavalry on the spot, and then occupy Pingzhou. Once Pingzhou is occupied by our army, Tian Zhang has no courage to launch an attack at all, and finally he is forced to retreat. In this way, we can take down all of Zhang Jinghui's territory at the lowest cost."

Huo Chuo immediately said: "What General Yang said is reasonable and forced Tian Zhang to retreat. Chen Qingzhu and Gao Shancai are both harsh and weak people. They both dare not compete with us at all."

Li Congshan lowered his head slightly and remained silent.

The other generals immediately discussed with each other. Most people thought that Yang Shan and Huo Chuo’s suggestions were very good. Doing so would be more secure and could minimize the risks.

Li Congshan raised his head and glanced at the left and right. Everyone immediately stopped discussing and looked at him quietly.

"The harm of the three armies is the greatest, and the gains and losses of one place and one city cannot change the severity of the strategic direction."

Li Congshan said in a deep voice: "There is nearly three hours left to spare. You will go back to the military camp of our headquarters and make all preparations to let the brothers rest in a hurry. There is no way to lose the battle tonight."

Li Congshan's words were finalized, and the original plan remained unchanged.

"Yes, the third general."

Everyone bowed and left.

Huo Chuo did not leave.

Li Congshan looked at Huo Chuo and said in a low voice: "What else is there?"

Huo Chuo bowed and said, "The third general, the last general doesn't understand."

"What don't understand?"

“Isn’t it good to get the best interests at the lowest cost?”

"For generals, just fight the war well, but for generals, you must look at the overall situation."

Li Congshan pointed to Huo Chuo and said, "The land and the city are both alive and dead. They are there, and they will not run away by themselves. If you occupy it now, it does not mean that you can own it forever. If you don't get it for the time being, it does not mean that there will be no chance in the future. If you want to take anything, you must take it with peace of mind. If you have any concerns, it will never last long. Our biggest concern is Tian Zhang. Even if we force him back temporarily, this concern has not been eliminated and still exists. And as time spreads, this concern will become bigger and bigger. Since that is the case, why not remove this concern first and then get benefits with peace of mind?"

Speaking of this, Li Congshan said firmly: "Take this opportunity to wipe out the 50,000 troops on the spot and completely defeat Tian Zhang. In Hebei, no one will be our opponent in Weizhou."

After listening to Li Congshan's point of view, Huo Chuo reminisced for a while, finally nodded, and said with conscientiousness: "The three generals have a big picture of their morale, and I admire them."

Li Congshan patted Huo Chuo on the shoulder and smiled and said, "You can learn to think. This is a good thing. You only look at the current situation in front of you and cannot judge a big deal. When encountering anything in the future, you must think more and look further away."

"The words of the three generals must be remembered in my heart."

Huo Chuo bowed and said with conscience.

"Go and do your business."

"The end will be resigned."

Huo Chuo turned and left.

Li Congshan continued to look at the map on the table, staring at a direction, which was exactly where Tian Zhang was currently.

The dark clouds made the sky darker early. Just halfway through Shen Times, the sky gradually became darker. At You Times, it started to rain again. As time spread, the rain became heavier and heavier, and finally turned into heavy rain, blurring the vision of the entire world.

Because of the weather, the two sides in Pingzhou had fought fiercely for a day and were quiet at this moment. Zhang Cheng retreated to the city. After hearing that Tian Zhang's 10,000 cavalry had arrived in Pingzhou, Zhang He immediately led his troops to Zhaozhou. According to Tian Zhang's instructions, Cheng Shi's original plan was to rush to Pingzhou to repel Zhang He's army, and then take advantage of the situation to kill Zhang Cheng and occupy Pingzhou in one fell swoop. However, due to heavy rain, Cheng Shi was one hour late at night, and Zhang Cheng's battle with Zhang He ended early due to the weather. Before Cheng Shi arrived, Zhang Cheng led his army to retreat to Pingzhou City, which gave Cheng Shi no chance to take action for a while. After all, he could not bring all 10,000 troops into the city, and Zhang Cheng would not agree.

In the end, Cheng Shi had to temporarily change his plan, station the army outside the city, rest for one night, and then take other measures after Tian Zhang led the main army tomorrow.

One night seems short, but sometimes it can change a lot.

Late at night, a red torrent rushed northward.

In a high ground, Li Congshan rode on his horse and looked forward from a distance. Because it was night, it was heavy rain and he could not see the distance, but Li Congshan was still staring at the front.

"The three generals, Tian Zhang's camp is five miles away. According to the scout's return, the protection of the other party's camp is not tight, but very simple."

Lee Zongyao reported on his military situation, and his face was filled with joy. Tian Zhang obviously did not expect that he would be attacked. The deployment inside and outside the military camp was very simple. This was a great opportunity for them who came to the night attack.

Li Congshan nodded and immediately issued an order: "I will lead 10,000 cavalry to attack from the front, and Yang Shan and Huo Chuo will lead 5,000 cavalry to attack from both sides."

After saying that, Li Congshan looked at everyone and said with a heavy expression: "If the battle tonight is successful, you will definitely become famous all over the world."

A simple sentence immediately aroused everyone's passion.
