Chapter 891
Zhang Fei held the reins and looked at the ride on the other side, frowned.
Every time he went, a cavalry would appear opposite him. It can be seen that Zhang He was very nervous and did not intend to give him any opportunity to take advantage of.
This made him helpless.
With the river ahead, how to cross it safely has become a problem that he must solve.
Of course he could also wait. When the Youyan Protectorate Mansion and the Northern Army besieged the city, Zhang He would inevitably retreat to Yecheng, and then he could cross the river calmly. But in that case, his idea of taking revenge would be vain. In the future, facing Guan Yu,
It is inevitable that you will be kept from being ridiculed.
When Liu Bei entered Beijing to participate in the review, he was laughed at by Guan Yu. At that time, Guan Yu had not yet become one of the Eight Schools of the Northern Army.
When Zhang Fei thought of Guan Yu, his mood became a little complicated.
He always respected Guan Yu very much and treated Guan Yu as his elder brother, but Guan Yu did not treat him as his brother. After thinking about it, he felt that there was only one reason: he was too weak and Guan Yu looked down on him.
There is only one way to win Guan Yu's respect, strength.
Just like Xu Huang.
"General, if you want to cross the river, you may have to help in the martial arts hall." Mi Fang came over and pointed at Huang Yi and others in the distance, reminding him.
"What can they do?" Zhang Fei was a little anxious and his voice was a little loud.
Huang Yi brought dozens of students from the martial arts lecture hall to intern. Most of these people are soldiers with certain military experience. After relevant training, they are indeed much better than ordinary generals. But Zhang Fei didn't think they could solve their problems.
The problem of crossing the river that cannot be solved is not considered to be better than themselves.
"If the technicians in the martial arts lecture hall can quickly build a floating bridge and let us cross the river as fast as possible, and not give Zhang He a chance to attack halfway through, wouldn't that be enough?"
Zhang Fei's eyes flashed slightly, feeling something was right.
He was as strong as Zhang He, and he even had some advantage after fighting in formation. The biggest trouble was the Zhang River in front of him, and he was most afraid of being attacked by his opponent halfway. He had always considered how to cross the Zhang River without disturbing Zhang He.
If the technician in the martial arts lecture hall could quickly build a floating bridge and let him send enough soldiers to the other side to set up a formation before Zhang He reacted, he would not have to consider hiding Zhang He.
At most, he set up more suspicious soldiers, so that Zhang He could not tell the exact location where he crossed the river.
"Please come."
With permission, Mi Fang went over and invited Huang Yi over. After hearing Zhang Fei's thoughts, Huang Yi pondered for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.
"General, IMHO, now is not the best time to attack."
When Zhang Fei heard Huang Yi's words, his face became muscular and his tone became stiff. "Why?"
Huang Yi raised his hand and pointed the whip at the banks of the river. "It's Shengxia now. The weather is hot. The soldiers are wearing armor and fighting, so it's easy to get heatstroke. This is what the general knows, so I won't say much. Zhangshui is the main stream of Jizhou.
The water is extremely strong. It is rainy now. Once there is rain, the water level will soar. At that time, within a hundred steps of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait may be affected by the water level."
When Zhang Fei heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
If he had lined up his back to the water, he would not be too far from the river. If the Zhang River rose so strongly, it would be possible to hit the formation.
"Just a rain, can the water rise so much?" Zhang Fei was skeptical.
"I have asked many local people, no doubt about it." Huang Yi said.
He did not mention his experience in flood prevention in Luoyang, for fear of irritating Zhang Fei. In fact, flood prevention made him realize the power of water, which is more useful than reading many military books.
Standing on the turbulent river water and watching the turbid river water rushing away, you naturally understand the meaning of the four words "water and fire" ruthless. Making good use of water and fire can achieve the effect of defeating the strong with the weak and fighting against the masses with the weak.
As a general who has been commanding troops for many years, Zhang Fei should understand this and does not need his reminder.
He just needs to inform Zhang Fei of the unique flood situation in the Zhang River.
"If you build a bridge, what kind of bridge can you build? How long will it take to transport two thousand people to set up a formation?"
Seeing that Zhang Fei avoided talking about the questions he raised and insisted on crossing the river, Huang Yi sighed secretly.
"If the general needs it, we can build a raft first, then push it into the river, form a pontoon bridge, transport two to three thousand infantry within half an hour, and establish positions on the other side. Cavalry is somewhat difficult, and the war horses are walking on the pontoon bridge, which requires a certain amount of time.
The biggest difficulty is to choose the opportunity. If it rains suddenly, the river surface will become wider and the width of the floating bridge is insufficient, it is not easy to cross the river, but it is even more troublesome to withdraw after crossing the river."
Zhang Fei nodded and thought for a moment. "I will be cautious, so please ask Changshi Huang to prepare a floating bridge for me."
Huang Yi turned around and looked at Mi Fang.
Mi Fang also bowed and said, "You are prepared for any trouble, I'm worried about the eldest son."
Huang Yi was helpless and had to agree and ordered the technicians to guide Zhang Fei's craftsmen to build a floating bridge. While discussing the tactics with the students in the martial arts lecture hall, he sent someone back to Liu Bei's central army to find Zhuge Jin and inform him of the relevant ones.
In the situation, I hope Zhuge Jin can come forward and let Liu Bei stop Zhang Fei.
In his opinion, now is definitely not a good time to take the initiative.
Zhuge Jin hesitated for a long time and walked into Liu Bei's central army tent.
Liu Bei and Fa Zheng were drinking while enjoying singing and dancing. Seeing Zhuge Jin coming in, he waved with a smile. "Ziyu, you are here just in time. Get your seat quickly and taste this freshly arrived wine."
Zhuge Jin took his seat, drank two glasses of wine, exchanged a few greetings, and then he told the news he had just received. After hearing this, Liu Bei laughed and turned to Fa Zheng and said:
"I am eager to make contributions to good deeds and can't help but I can't hold back."
Fa Zheng raised his wine glass and nodded. "The solution is a good solution, but it's a bit dangerous. You have to make a long-term plan."
When Zhuge Jin heard this, he became a little anxious. Huang Yi was extremely unfavorable to the war, so he risked the unhappiness of Zhang Fei and asked him to inform Liu Bei. But after Fa Zheng's opinion, he did not seem to intend to stop Zhang Fei.
, want to have a big fight.
"Empress, military advisor..."
"Ziyu, don't be nervous." Liu Bei laughed. "Youyan City Protector to Capture Hejian, Beihai to Capture Bohai, Zhang He, Gao Lan's tribe members were either captured or surrendered, and had no fighting spirit long ago. The army was about to encircle Yecheng.
, It’s nothing wrong with us taking the lead. When the weather turns colder and several armies advance together, where can we still have the opportunity to make contributions?”
Zhuge Jin reminded: "With that being said, Zhang He is good at fighting and will not surrender easily..."
Liu Bei interrupted Zhuge Jin. "Do you know Xing Zi'ang?"
"I have heard that Xing Zi'ang is a famous scholar in Hejian."
"Yes, he was going to see the emperor, but he wanted to advise him to stop him, but now he has changed his attitude and is going to become an official." Liu Bei smiled. "Xing Zi'ang had been to Zhang He's camp before he went to the camp.
Before him, there was a man named Bei Zhan who had a better relationship with Zhang He. Now he was serving as a sacrificial tribute in Yinfang, Jizhou. Although Yecheng had not yet been abandoned, the people of Jizhou had already surrendered to the court. How could Zhang He be an exception? At this time,
Our army is desperate, he is afraid he is sick."
Zhuge Jin frowned and looked at Fa Zheng.
He felt that Liu Bei was too optimistic and hoped that Fazheng could persuade Liu Bei.
At present, the one who is trusted by Liu Bei the most is Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng is also a military advisor sent by the emperor, so he must not be so frivolous.
Fa Zheng smiled. "Tiyu doesn't have to worry. The envoy will not let General Zhang face Zhang He alone. By the way, how was Chen Yuanlong resting? Can he go into battle?"
"I'm afraid there are still some problems."
