Chapter 203: Arrival of Fighters

Time flies, and two months have passed in a flash. The land in Guanzhong is extremely calm, and there is no war.

Neither the Han army nor the Xiliang army took any action, and they didn't even fight again. The two tacitly maintained the peace during this period.

Even so, Zhang Wen did not feel at ease because of his ease, but was suffering day by day, and there was no news from Luo Yang.

Zhang Wen didn't know when Luo Yang's imperial decree would come, nor did he know how Liu Hong would punish him.

But as time passed, Zhang Wen gradually felt relieved.

Luo Yang must have known about his defeat and the loss of soldiers and generals. If Liu Hong wanted to punish himself, he would have made an order a long time ago, and it is impossible to wait until now.

At this time, the imperial decree has not come, so the eight achievements will not come! Liu Hong must have chosen to believe in himself and give himself another chance!

But let's put his mind at ease about this matter, the matter of the Xiliang Army gave Zhang Wen a very headache.

Ever since Li Wenhou was determined to find an opportunity in the Xiliang Army, Liu Zhang really calmed down. He just practiced soldiers and horses every day, and didn't come up with any constructive plans.

Liu Zhang can take it easy, he can wait, after all, he is not the commander in chief of the armed forces, but Zhang Wen can't!

Zhang Wen was originally a guilty person, and he was also the supreme military commander. If it really dragged on like this, not to mention wasting money and food, Luoyang would inevitably settle new and old scores together!

"Hey!"

Zhang Wen's helpless sighs have been going on for many days, and he is now in a dilemma!

Attack, there is no certainty of victory!

Let's defend, it's not an option after all!

Zhang Wen summoned Liu Zhang many times, and begged several times in a low voice, but Liu Zhang had no choice but to leave a word to Zhang Wen, wait!

Although Zhang Wen was helpless and angry, he did not specifically blame Liu Zhang. After all, Liu Zhang had already explained it to Zhang Wen in detail.

Now the army does not have as many soldiers and horses as the Xiliang Army, and the soldiers are not as elite as the Xiliang Army. If you go to battle rashly, you will lose more than you win!

Rather than risking defeat, it is better to wait for the opportunity to come.

The tens of thousands of officers and soldiers consume an astonishing amount of food and grass every day, not to mention the Xiliang Army, who must have tightened their belts to live!

The most important thing is that Liu Zhang has already made a surprise attack once, and Bian Zhang and Bei Gong Boyu must know how to guard against him no matter how stupid they are, not to mention the Han Wenyue of the Yellow River's nine bends!

"Hey! If you keep waiting like this, when will you be tall!"

Just when Zhang Wen was still feeling sentimental, he heard the voices of soldiers outside.

"Report to General Cheqi, the latter general Liu Zhang begs to see him!"

"Oh? Please!"

Zhang Wen was very excited. This was the first time in two months that Liu Zhang took the initiative to find him!

bother you for something! Zhang Wen believed that Liu Zhang must have some happy event.

"Zhang Cheqi!"

"The latter general! The general is here, and he must teach me something!"

Seeing Liu Zhang nodding with a smile on his face, Zhang Wen was even more delighted, and hurriedly invited Liu Zhang to take a seat.

"Marquis Li Wen sent news that our opportunity to defeat the enemy has come!"

"Oh? Please tell the general in detail."

Zhang Wen hurriedly poured Liu Zhang a bowl of tea with an urgent expression on his face.

Just when Zhang Wen was nervous, the voice of a soldier sounded outside again.

"Report to General Cheqi, but General Di Yang to ask to see him!"

Zhang Wen looked at Liu Zhang, his questioning expression was very obvious. After all, it was a matter of defeating the enemy, and Liu Zhang's consent was needed to allow a third person to come in.

"It's okay, General Di is a talented general, so we should discuss it together!"

Liu Zhang agreed, Zhang Wen naturally had no objection, and directly recruited Di Yang.

After Di Yang came in, he was surprised to see Liu Zhang here.

"Greetings to General Cheqi, General Rear!"

"General Di arrived just in time, sit down!"

Zhang Wen pointed to a place beside him, motioning for Di Yang to sit down.

"What does General Di come here for?"

After Di Yang sat down, he bowed his hands to Zhang Wen.

"General Cheqi, our army has been stationed here for two months and has not fought against the rebels. There are many complaints from the generals below. I came here to ask General Cheqi when he plans to fight the Xiliang rebels!"

Zhang Wen laughed and stroked his beard non-stop.

"You came just in time, and that's why the general later came!"

"Oh? I also ask the later general to enlighten me!"

Di Yang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Liu Zhang for advice.

Liu Zhang nodded to him, then looked at Zhang Wen.

"Marquis Li Wen has received news that the Xiliang rebels have been stalemate with us for two months. The logistics supply has long been insufficient, and the food and grass are also running out immediately!"

"Are they going to retreat?"

"No, it's a large batch of food and grass brought from Liangzhou! This batch of food and grass is very important to them. If we can burn these food and grass, the Xiliang rebels will rebel without a fight!"

Zhang Wen understood what Liu Zhang meant, but how could this kind of thing be so simple?

"This batch of food and grass is so important to the Xiliang rebels, how could they not take precautions?"

Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Wen with a weird smile.

"What if we knew all about their arrangements?"

"Li Wenhou!"

Zhang Wen exclaimed, and instantly understood why Liu Zhang was so confident.

"That's right! Marquis Li Wen has a very high status in the Xiliang Army, second only to Beigong Boyu. How can we be invincible with him delivering news for us?"

"Why does the general trust that Li Wenhou so much, what if he misrepresents the information?"

Liu Zhang never expected that Di Yang raised an objection, and pointed to the crux of the problem.

"Hmph, General Di, don't be suspicious. Although I have a short acquaintance with Li Wenhou, I am extremely irresistible! I am willing to vouch for him!"

Di Yang's face twitched, and he quickly apologized to Liu Zhang.

"The general later misunderstood, I just said it casually!"

Zhang Wen frowned and looked at Di Yang, then turned his attention to Liu Zhang.

"General Empress, General Di's words are not without reason, shouldn't we be more careful?"

Liu Zhang's face darkened in an instant, like dark clouds!

"Zhang Cheqi, am I not clear enough? I am willing to guarantee Li Wenhou! And if anything happens, I am willing to bear it!"

"Well, since the general is so sure, Zhang will not say anything, and everything will be arranged by the general!"

Seeing what Liu Zhang said, Zhang Wen immediately compromised, as long as he has his words! At that time, even if the battle is defeated, the responsibility can be pushed to Liu Zhang!

When Liu Zhang heard Zhang Wen's words, his expression softened a little, and he turned to look at Di Yang.

"General Di, what about you?"

"The only subordinate is the order of the general!"

Di Yang surrendered directly to Liu Zhang with an extremely resolute expression.

"Okay! This battle still needs a lot of General's courage, General Di must fight hard!"

Liu Zhang nodded in satisfaction, picked up the teacup and respected Di Yang from a distance.

"General Di, please!"

Di Yang also picked up his teacup and paid homage to Liu Zhang.

"Thank you General, please!"
