Time has entered the sixth year of Zhongping. With the arrival of February, the cold winter begins to fade away, the ice and snow are constantly melting, and the unsealed rivers begin to flow. Everything ushers in vitality again, and the stubborn grass begins to expose the ground to welcome a new spring.

This was the second winter that Yan Xing had spent alone after joining the army and the 80th day of the Liangzhou coalition forces besieging Chencang City. The army was hard and there was no joy and joy of being together at home. In addition, the morale was low, some soldiers in Yan Xing's camp who were not his own troops escaped. Fortunately, Gan Ling, Ma Lin, Yan Xing, Yan Shun and others were accompanied. At the same time, the spring that he was eagerly waiting for finally came.

After the spring, the morale of the coalition forces rose, and the Wang family father and son seemed to have recovered their former wise and decisiveness when Didao raised his troops and captured Jicheng. The kingdom began to call on the army to rectify their troops. On the one hand, the soldiers who were frozen to death in winter and the corpses of livestock were cleaned up and buried on the spot. On the other hand, the disabled and weak in the army were screened out to form an independent camp, and the whole army prepared for war to boost morale.

At the same time, Wang Fan personally led the Iron Cavalry to the north to approach the defense line of the Han army, and made a stance to prepare to lead the army north to seek a decisive battle. For a moment, the battle was dense and feathered edicts were spread. The situation of silence and stalemate in winter became tense again.

Sun Tzu said: War is a strange way. Therefore, if you can, you cannot show it, you cannot use it, if you use it, you cannot use it, if you are near, you can show it far, if you are far away, you can show it near, if you are far away, you can show it near. If you are profitable, you can lure it, and if you are in chaos, you can take it.······ This is the victory of military strategists, which cannot be passed on first.

Although the Liangzhou coalition forces were still imposing their momentum and looked strong and strong to confuse the enemy, neither Huangfu Song nor Dong Zhuo were confused by the maze deliberately set up by the enemy. In the Han army camp in Huaili, a debate about pursuing the Liangzhou rebels was taking place.

Those who are good at using troops should avoid their sharpness and attack their laziness.

In front of the two generals of the dynasty, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, the toughness that the Liangzhou rebels had made was as ridiculous as a child's trick, but the two obviously had their own plans. Therefore, although they saw the truth that the Liangzhou rebels retreated too much, they still stood on their own and argued in front of the many generals and officials in the tent.

"No. The military strategy is said to be the enemy. Do not pursue the enemy without chasing them, and do not force them to return to the enemy. Now I am chasing the country, and I am forcing them to return to the enemy, and I am chasing the enemy with impoverished enemies. The trapped beasts are still fighting, and the bees are poisonous, let alone the masses!"

Dong Zhuo, who had a tiger back and a bear waist, was standing at the position he left last year, as if he was specifically trying to oppose Huangfu Song. He raised his head and spoke out against Huangfu Song's suggestion to pursue the enemy, just like Huangfu Song opposed him to enter Chen Cang last year.

The generals in the tent had different expressions, and they looked at Huangfu Song, who was sitting in a majestic position, to see how he responded to Dong Zhuo's provocation.

Huangfu Song, who was in the forefront, did not change his expression. He seemed to have learned about Dong Zhuo's response in advance. He spoke slowly. Rather than talking to Dong Zhuo, it would be better to explain to all the generals present.

"Otherwise, I will not attack before, avoid the sharp people. Now I will attack them and wait for the decline. The tired army you attack will not return to the crowd. The people of the country will leave, and do not have the fighting spirit. To attack chaos with a stalemate, it is not a defeated enemy."

Seeing that his provocation was ignored, Dong Zhuo hummed, bowed casually, and said dissatisfied:

"Since General Zuo does not listen to the dissuasion and underestimates the enemy to advance, I am sorry that I cannot obey him!"

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was unscrupulous and revealed his true face directly, and even sternly rejected the resolution to join forces with Huangfu Song to pursue him, the generals under Huangfu Song all changed their colors in anger. Huangfu Li was even ready to jump out and accuse Dong Zhuo of his wolfish ambitions.

But Huangfu Song was not angry, but instead spoke to appease his emotions. Since the last argument with Dong Zhuo, he has been very clear about Dong Zhuo's thoughts. Dong Zhuo's direct rejection of the army had guessed before the military discussion. As for what to argue about the process, it was just an excuse that Dong Zhuo found casually.

He dared to stand in the tent today and was thrilled. He relied on the army he had always been proud of. Just imagine that his army was stationed in Meiyang, and the whole army obeyed him. Once he was moved, the army would be in chaos immediately. Now that the rebels in Liangzhou are about to retreat, how could Huangfu Song make a fuss with Dong Zhuo at this moment of breaking the enemy?

Huangfu Song had no resentment on his face. He talked freely, and did not argue with Dong Zhuo. He directly arranged the dispatch of the generals in the tent in a few words. When it came to Dong Zhuo again, Huangfu Song met Dong Zhuo's sharp eyes and said:

"Since General Dong doesn't want to join forces, he can lead his troops to resist after he is the one who is in charge of our army!"

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Song took the initiative to retreat. Without any fierce quarrel, the military discussion soon ended. After receiving the military order to advance, all the generals hurriedly retreated and prepared. Dong Zhuo, who was about to leave the tent, suddenly turned around and looked at Huangfu Song, who was sitting on the head and was standing in the middle of the head.

Today, his heavy punch was easily resolved by Huangfu Song. Although he was full of beard and could not see fear at that time, he felt even more afraid of Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song, who was in the forefront, moved. Dong Zhuo felt that he was going to meet Huangfu Song's eyes again. He quickly withdrew his eyes and hurriedly turned around and walked out of the tent.

A few days later, Chen Cangcheng

The two sides, whose offensive and defensive momentum were being exchanged, were preparing for the final battle in full swing, but Chen Cangcheng, which was originally in storm and had heavy troops besieged the city, now turned into the eye of the storm in the center of the hurricane, and fell into a strange calm.

Since the beginning of spring, the dense ice ridges on Chencang City have gradually melted, and Xu Rong has mobilized the entire city who was temporarily disbanded after the beginning of winter to prepare for a new round of attack by the rebels in Liangzhou. Unfortunately, although the rebels kept moving after the beginning of spring, they seemed to have lost all their interest in Chencang City. For a time, the city walls were calm, and the rebels and Han troops were separated by the city walls, and the sound of people and horses from the gullies was heard, but there was no intention of fighting.

At this time, the genius had just discovered that the fog outside the city was thick, and the enemy's camp was also trapped in a vast white area. It was difficult to see the movements of the enemy. It was the time when the defenders needed to be vigilant. Xu Rong left his residence in the city early in the morning and brought a few personal soldiers to the city wall. He walked up step by step along the steps on the side of the inner city wall. The sound of footsteps alarmed the Han soldiers on duty on the top of the city. They turned their heads and looked back. After seeing Xu Rong's familiar figure, they all showed respect and saluted.

The army always respects the strong. Any general who can bring their victory is the strong, and can get the heartfelt support and awe of the soldiers at the bottom. Moreover, during the rebels' attacks, Xu Rong personally led his soldiers to fight at the city, and did not retreat after being injured by arrows. After the war, he even ate and lived with the soldiers on the city to guard against the enemy's sneak attacks. The soldiers could take turns to serve, but Xu Rong did not immediately take the lead during that time. He and the soldiers shared the joys and sorrows, and every corner of the city left his footprints during his patrol.

The rebels no longer attacked the city. In the snow and ice, and there were dense ice edges on the city walls, Xu Rongcai left the city head under repeated dissuasion by his personal soldiers. However, he must patrol the city wall several times a day, and he also rewarded and punished the soldiers who were on duty. He treated them fairly and were rewarded and rewarded seriously. Those who were neglecting to defend would be punished.
