Chapter 372: Zhang Chuan, who was cowardly before fighting

On March 21, the 22nd year of Qianyuan, General Deng State and commander of the Northern Expedition Army Yue Fei led the Deng army to attack Fugou City, and then swept across the entire Chenliu County. On March 26, the 22nd year of Qianyuan, the Chenliu County Capitol Chenliu City. At this point, the entire Chenliu County County had fallen into the hands of the Deng army. Although there were still sporadic remnants of the Zhao army in some areas that were fighting stubbornly, this could no longer affect the overall situation.

Chenliu City, in the prefect's mansion, has become Yue Fei's residence in Chenliu City. In the main hall, a group of generals gathered here. Yue Fei sat in the main seat and said, "Everyone, the entire Chenliu County is now under the control of our army. Although there are still some remaining forces of the Zhao army still resisting, this can no longer affect the overall situation. Next, our army needs to go north to Jiyang City and prepare for the next decisive battle with the main army of the Zhao army. According to the detailed rewards in Zhao State, Jinyang's side had urgently mobilized 200,000 troops from the northern border after learning that our army had entered the Central Plains. Zhang Xuan, the new Zhao State General, led the south. At the same time, the Zhao army stationed in Qi County also showed signs of moving eastward. I believe that the Zhao army that was fighting with our army at the time was no less than 250,000!"

"General, I don't know where the three soldiers and horses of the Tiger Wing Guard, Yingyang Guard, and Lingsnake Guard are now?" When he heard that the Zhao army would have an army of 250,000 south to Jiyang City, the first thing a group of Deng army generals thought of was the Tiger Wing Guard, Yingyang Guard and Lingsnake Guard, responsible for attacking Liang County, where the three soldiers and horses of the Tiger Wing Guard, Yingyang Guard, and Lingsnake Guard are now? After all, it is too difficult to fight against the 250,000 Zhao army with 130,000 troops.

Yue Fei said: "After entering Chenliu City, I received a good news from General Xue Rengui, saying that the Hu Wing Guard, Ying Yang Guard, and Lingser Guard have worked together to capture Suiyang City, the Liang County Captain. I will soon go north to Jiyang City to meet our army!"

Yes, after the Tiger Wing Guard and Yingyang Guard arrived at Lingshe Guard in Ku County, they went north to attack Liang County. Since there was no main army of the Zhao army in Liang County, the Deng army was unstoppable along the way. In less than ten days, they captured Suiyang City, the capital of Liang County. As long as they rest for a few days, they could go north to meet Yue Fei's main army. At that time, the Deng army's strength reached 280,000, which was especially better than the Zhao army.

When everyone heard the movements of the three guards of the Tiger Wing Guard, Eagle Yang Guard, and Lingser Guard, they were relieved and were full of expectations for the upcoming Battle of Jiyang. As long as they defeated 250,000 Zhao troops in this battle, the situation in the entire Central Plains would undergo a drastic change. As one went up and down, Deng State instantly reversed its strength with Zhao State, which would be of great help to the future struggle for the world.

Just when Deng's generals were in joy, in Puyang City, Dongjun, General Zhang Chuan of Zhao led 200,000 northern border troops across the Yellow River to garrison here, and waited for 50,000 elite troops from Qijun.

In the large tent of the Zhao army camp, Zhang Chuan took the defeat from the south and said nothing for a long time. Zhang Chuan refused to go south to deal with Yue Fei. The reason was very simple. Yue Fei was too strong. Before Zhao Xin was alive, he was very afraid of Yue Fei. At that time, Yue Fei was the only famous general except Zhao Xin who had not suffered a defeat since his debut. After Zhao Xin's death, Yue Fei became the only one. Facing such a famous general, Zhang Chuan really had no confidence.

But Zhang Chuan had to come again. After Zhao Xin's death, the only generals who could be put on the stage in Zhao State were Zhang Chuan, Sima Chong, Gongsun Jue and Li Rubing. Among them, Gongsun Jue was old and was a little overwhelmed in Liaodong for many years. Now it is even more impossible to lead troops to fight. Li Rubing went to Shangjun to fight Bai Qi, Sima rushed to Shangdang to deal with Meng Zhan, and only Zhang Chuan was qualified to lead troops to fight Yue Fei.

When Zhao Xin was alive, Zhao State was dominating the world. Zhao Xin alone was alone, but he could not breathe. This also created the title of Zhao State's most powerful country in the world. Zhao Xin's strength also covered up many shortcomings of Zhao State. Now, once Zhao Xin died, Zhao State had a decline in talents. Coupled with the dispute between the new and old in the army, Zhao State's situation became increasingly worrying. Although Zhao State was still the most powerful country in the world, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhao State had begun to decline. It can be said that Zhao State alone was half of Zhao State's strength. Now, once Zhao Xin died, Zhao State lost 50% of its strength. Zhang Chuan was really not sure about the Deng Army, which gathered a lot of heroes.

"General, the army is ready and can be driven south at any time!" At this time, Le Yun, known as the number one general of Zhao State, walked into the central army's tent and said to Zhang Chuanshuo.

Le Yun is the top combat power of Zhao State. If Zhao Xin is the sword holder of Zhao State, then Le Yun is the sharpest sharp knife in Zhao Xin's hand. For a long time, Le Yun has used his strong strength to bring victory after victory to Zhao State and helped Zhao State to ascend to the throne of the world's most powerful country. This time, Zhang Chuan naturally has to bring his biggest killing weapon with him.

Moreover, Leyun is also very much looking forward to this trip south. Leyun is powerful. Although he is nearly fifty years old, his strength still suppresses the entire Zhao State. He has not encountered a decent opponent in many years. This time, he heard that Li Cunxiao, the most powerful general of Deng State, also went to war with the army. How could Leyun not come? As early as when Li Cunxiao severely injured Xu Jie and killed Su An, Leyun regarded Li Cunxiao as his biggest opponent in his life. After all, Leyun may not be sure to do what Li Cunxiao can do. After so many years, Leyun finally had the opportunity to fight with Li Cunxiao, so how could he miss it?

"General Le, what is our chance of winning this time?" Zhang Chuan did not answer Le Yun's words, but asked Le Yun, asking Le Yun to tell him how confident he would be able to win this time.

Le Yun thought for a while and said, "Go back to the General, Deng's army is one of the few strong troops in the world, and Yue Fei is also a famous general in the world. However, our Zhao army is the most powerful country in the world, and our Zhao army is the most powerful army in the world. Although the death of General Zhao has an impact on the strength of our army, the last general believes that this is still not something that Deng's army can compete with, so the last general thinks that our army should be 70% sure, and at the least it is impossible to get 55!"

Le Yun's answer was very official. He first recognized the strength of Deng Jun and Yue Fei, and also admitted that Zhao Xin's death had an impact on Zhao Jun. However, Le Yun firmly believed that with the strength of Zhao Jun, it would not be difficult to win at all. At the very least, he could get a 50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50 in his heart. This shows how strong Le Yun's belief is, and he has already begun to be full of confidence.

However, Zhang Chuan was not so optimistic. He probably hadn't really seen how powerful Yue Fei was. However, when Yue Fei was able to defeat the famous Han general Fan Yi, Zhou Shen, who was as famous as Zhao Xin and Han Qing, fought back and forth, and even had a lot of small victories, it was enough to show that Yue Fei was powerful. Although Zhang Chuan was a famous general in Zhao State except Zhao Xin, he even replaced Zhao Xin as the position of General Zhao Xin, but Zhang Chuan couldn't even raise his head in front of Zhou Shen, how could he have the confidence to defeat Deng's army now? Not to mention, there are also famous Deng general Chang Yuchun and Han Qing, the former No. 1 general of Qi State, who was as famous as Zhao Xin in Yue Fei's army, so even Zhao State's peak configuration could not be produced. Thinking of this, Zhang Chuan was a little timid before the battle.

Although being cowardly before the battle is not the attitude that a famous general should have, Zhang Chuan cannot be afraid in the face of famous generals like Yue Fei and the shining lineup of Deng's stars. However, these words are just hidden in his heart. After all, the entire Zhao State is watching Zhang Chuan. If Zhang Chuan dares to say timid words before the war, it will probably not take long before his general's throne will be lost. Now Zhang Chuan only hopes that Yue Fei has become famous for a long time and will despise him, thus making mistakes that he should not have made, so that he can win in chaos.

After a long time, Zhang Chuan said to Le Yun: "General Le, send the order. The army sets off tomorrow. We will go to Jiyang City to meet Yue Fei, the first general of Deng State!"

"Here!" Le Yun could not see Zhang Chuan's concern, but responded excitedly, because he could finally meet Li Cunxiao for a while. When Li Cunxiao defeated Xu Jie, he killed Su An and ranked first in the world with him, and his record was even worse than Li Cunxiao. So this time Le Yun was also ambitious and planned to defeat and even kill Li Cunxiao, proving that he was the number one strong general in the world.
