Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Hu immediately stood up to receive the order with his fists clasped, his voice loud and clear. It must be a bit timid to ask him to go by himself, but with Li Yi following him, he was much more at ease.

Li Yi said again at this time: "Yi also wants to recommend another person as the deputy general."

Liu Biao was taken aback, and asked, "Who is it?"

Li Yi said: "It's the gatekeeper of this city, whose surname is Wang. I saw many people call him General Xiao Wang before."

Li Yi finished speaking, but seeing that everyone looked at him silently, and their eyes were a little strange, Li Yi couldn't help but wonder, is there something wrong?

"cough"

Shaoqing, Wang Wei cleared his throat and stood up, clasped his fists at Li Yi and said, "It's rare that Prefect Li likes Gouzi, so tell him to go with Prefect Li and General Zhang."

Liu Biao said to Wang Wei with a little emotion: "I was going to promote him to the military three months ago, but you said he was too young and not stable enough, so you sent him here to guard the city gate. Now Yunlong also appreciates him very much, don't you I'm going to resign for him, and after this battle, I will appoint him as Captain Fenyong and take charge of Ye County's military affairs."

Wang Wei was grateful, and hurriedly said: "The last general thanked the state shepherd on behalf of the dog!"

Liu Biao helped Wang Wei up, and looked at Li Yi again, thinking that Li Yi didn't stumbling him when he had a headache, but offered advice and suggestions, and was even willing to lead the army into battle

In Liu Biao's view, Li Yi went with Zhang Hu, which was not much different from Li Yi leading the army by himself.

Therefore, Liu Biao was also willing to show his goodwill, and asked Li Yi's recommender to sit in Ye County, telling Li Yi that he would not easily stab Li Yi in the back.

Li Yi also smiled and said to Wang Wei: "That day I saw that your son guards the city well. Although he is young, he is calm and calm. I don't know where he is. It turns out that he is the son of General Wang's family. Seriously. A tiger father has no dogs."

Wang Wei's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "The dog is ignorant, offended the prefect Li that day, it is rare that the prefect Li did not care about his fault, and I will ask him to come to the prefect in person to apologize to the prefect in another day."

"where where"

Li Yi had a smile on his face, but he was very depressed in his heart. He wanted to promote a more pleasing native talent to cultivate his own team, but he didn't expect that guy to be Wang Wei's own son!

With Wang Wei's loyalty to Liu Biao and the rigidity inherited from Wang Yi, it is difficult to tell his son to turn against his father!

Chapter 172 General, we have been tricked!

Soon, three thousand soldiers and horses came out of Xinye City in mighty force.

The chief general Zhang Hu took the lead, and the deputy general Wang Yi stayed behind. Originally, Zhang Hu suggested that Li Yi and Wang Yi should go behind because it was safe, but Li Yi insisted on leading the way with Zhang Hu. Zhang Hu saw that Li Yi insisted, They did not object.

Although Zhang Hu doesn't know a few big characters, he is not a fool. He knows that even though he is the chief general of this army, he is actually the worst of the three in the army, no matter in terms of status or relationship. Can't afford it.

Fortunately, Wang Yi is reliable in his work, and Li Yi is not an arrogant person, otherwise Zhang Hu would not dare to lead this soldier.

During the march, Zhang Hu saw Li Yi frowning from time to time, so he couldn't help asking, "I see Prefect Li frowning frequently, but I'm worried that there's something wrong with this trip?"

Li Yi shook his head, Da Ma and Zhang Hu got closer, and said in a low voice: "General Zhang, with all due respect, I think the morale of the army seems to be a little sluggish?"

Zhang Hu couldn't help but blushed. As the general leading the troops, he knew that Li Yi's words were very polite. How can it be said that the morale of the Jingzhou Army is sluggish now. The 3000 men are loose, and they look like soft eggs.

Fortunately, seeing that Li Yi's voice was not loud, Zhang Hu knew that Li Yi didn't intend to embarrass him, so he smiled wryly: "The Jingzhou Army was not bad at first, but this ián zhàn losing streak"

Li Yi nodded his head to express his understanding, and sighed: "It's hard for General Zhang to be ordered in the face of danger."

Zhang Hu hurriedly said: "This is the job of the last general."

Li Yi said with a smile: "General Zhang is the chief general of an army, but the title of the last general is unworthy."

"Ah, Zhang, a vulgar person, how dare he be proud of himself in front of the Marquis Xiang?"

"Huh? That's strange. I think General Zhang is so heroic, how can he speak vulgarly?"

"Hey, I'm not afraid of the prefect's jokes, Zhang Mou is originally"

Because Li Yi deliberately put down his figure to get close to Zhang Hu, and Zhang Hu found that Li Yi did not despise him, and because he was bored on the road, he revealed his family background, anyway, this is not a secret.

It turned out that Zhang Hu was not considered a good person at first. Before the civil strife in Jingzhou and the thieves everywhere, Zhang Hu was unwilling to be lonely. With his good martial arts and friends from the township party, he also attracted a group of people. Later, he met Chen Sheng, who was from a family background, and the two were congenial, so they joined forces, and their strength suddenly skyrocketed. Later, they even took the opportunity to occupy Xiangyang!

However, the original intention of Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng to call up private soldiers was just to gain some prestige and make some money. Before occupying Xiangyang, they were somewhat ambitious, but after occupying Xiangyang, they found that Xiangyang was not something their brothers could eat.

Not to mention anything else, just those few big surnamed families in Xiangyang City, if the two brothers dare to roam around in the city, their house slaves can take half a day to clean up their brothers like dogs.

Therefore, the two occupied Xiangyang, and the benefits were not much, but they encountered a lot of troubles.

Just at this time, Liu Biao, the new governor of Jingzhou, came. Liu Biao dispatched Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to meet with them. He promised two captains, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng. , and Liu Biao had a good reputation, and with the addition of two envoys who spoke the lotus, he was successfully recruited, and Liu Biao took Xiangyang without a single soldier, and he also got two thousand strong soldiers.

Afterwards, Liu Biao was not stingy with the two of them in terms of rewards, nor did he cross the river and demolish the bridge, but because of his background and his own limited ability, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng could only be said to be so-so under Liu Biao's command, equivalent to senior thugs without the right to make suggestions .

After listening to Zhang Hu's confession, Li Yi felt that this guy was a potential wooing target, and immediately said with a smile: "I still don't know, it turns out that General Zhang is just belittling himself because of these trivial matters, there is really no need for it!"

Zhang Hu saw Li Yi smiling, although he didn't know why he was so happy, and didn't doubt him, he just asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Yidao: "I would like to send a word to General Zhang, every time more dogs are slaughtered in righteousness, they are always scholars who are guilty!"

Although Zhang Hu didn't read books, he could tell that Li Yi's words were excellent, that he was complimenting him, so he couldn't help touching his face, his eyes were blurred when he smiled.

However, Li Yi felt that this was not enough, and said again: "General, do you know Fan Wuhou who followed Gaozu to conquer the Han Dynasty? At the general's age, Fan Wuhou was still killing dogs. He is far less powerful than the general today. Therefore, General Zhang has a bright future. Don't be too self-effacing!"

"Hey, haha, what the prefect said was true, what the prefect said was true, listening to what the prefect said made the last general very happy!"

Zhang Hu couldn't help laughing, and called himself "the last general" again. This time Li Yiquan pretended he didn't hear it, and didn't ask Zhang Hu to correct him, because he felt that the two "last generals" sounded a little different.

After making a good impression, Li Yi didn't deliberately get close to Zhang Hu, but just talked about the situation in front of him. After all, Li Yi really wanted to get closer to Zhang Hu. No matter how rough Zhang Hu was, he might be able to see that he didn't Have a picture.

Marching all the way, after more than half an hour, the scouts from the front came to report that they had found Ji Ling's scouts, but although the two sides met face to face, they did not fight each other.

Zhang Hu looked at Li Yi immediately, wanting to tell Li Yi to make up his mind.

Li Yi asked: "How far is our current location from the hill the general mentioned?"

Zhang Hu replied: "About seven or eight miles."

Li Yi nodded and said: "The military division doesn't know that the reinforcements have arrived, even if Ji Ling just arranges a few soldiers and horses, it can delay it. In order to prevent Ji Ling from laying an ambush on the road ahead, I suggest that the general line up here and advance slowly .”

Zhang Hu was surprised and said, "Will you line up here?"

"good."

Li Yi's tone was very affirmative, and he said: "Ji Ling is Yuan Shu's number one general, and his methods are very good. We must not be careless."

What Li Yi was talking about was the strategy that was set before Liu Biao, but when it came to implementing it, he was much more careful than Zhang Hu thought.

Zhang Hu couldn't help asking: "But it's so far away, and we haven't seen Ji Ling's soldiers and horses, so we will march forward in formation, and the march will inevitably be slow. If there is a delay, what should we do if the military division is born?"

However, Li Yi said: "To speak of unlucky words, if the military division is in danger, it is too late for us to rush there now. If the military division is still holding on, as long as we beat the drums while marching, Ji Ling will be surprised when he hears it. Whether or not an ambush is set up in front, we can't let go and besiege the army division."

Zhang Hu's eyes lit up, and he said, "The prefect is really powerful!"

Li Yi smiled modestly. He had never fought a war, but he had read a lot of military books during his time with Dong Zhuo. no problem.
