Liu Zhang heard Sun Jian's advice, but did not issue any orders or give Sun Jian any response.
"General Hou!"
Sun Jian was very anxious. What a great opportunity this was. He didn't want to waste this fleeting opportunity.
Liu Zhang raised his hand to stop Sun Jian and also told him that he understood what he meant.
Time passed little by little, and the Xiliang army gradually stabilized under Beigong Boyu's scolding.
"oops!"
Sun Jian was very angry, and he just watched the great opportunity slip away!
"Zilong, come back."
Zhao Yun received Liu Zhang's order and turned back to Liu Zhang without any hesitation.
Liu Zhang not only ignored the great opportunity to attack, but also called Zhao Yun back. This series of abnormal operations left the generals of the Han army a little confused.
And not only the Han army, but also the Xiliang army was very puzzled. Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and Beigong Boyu were even prepared to be attacked by Liu Zhang. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang did not take advantage of others. Danger!
"Bian Zhang, if I had just ordered the entire army to attack, do you know what consequences you would face?"
"Don't expect me to thank you!"
Bian Zhang narrowed his eyes and responded casually, but he didn't know what Liu Zhang wanted to do.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Liu Zhang didn't expect Bian Zhang to use such a tone of resentment, and he couldn't help but laugh to the sky.
"Why should I care about the thanks of the traitor! It's just that I, Liu Zhang, am a gentleman and I don't want to take advantage of others' danger!"
"We have been fighting for a long time today, and I think the soldiers are all tired! Besides, I, Liu Zhang, have a good nature and cannot bear to kill again!"
"You go back with your people, I will fight you another day!"
As soon as Liu Zhang said this, the people on both sides were stunned.
"No, General! These Xiliang rebels are already exhausted. If we let them go now, they will definitely let the tiger return!"
"Why don't we charge with the whole army? We can definitely kill them all!"
The Han generals did not want to let the Xiliang army go, so they kept trying to persuade Liu Zhang.
"Hmph! Where do you get your confidence? You still want to kill us all! You can try it!"
Beigong Boyu knew that it was not the right time to fight anymore, but in the face of the unscrupulous provocations of these defeated generals, he responded with strong words.
"General Hou, do you see how arrogant these rebels are? General, please give the order, I will wait..."
"Okay, I said a truce, that's it for today! You don't have to say anything."
Bianzhang naturally heard Liu Zhang's words, but he still looked at Liu Zhang uneasily.
"General Hou, are you serious about this? You won't pursue me while I'm waiting to withdraw our troops?"
Liu Zhang nodded, and then answered Bian Zhang with certainty.
"Yes, I, Liu Zhang, am not like some people who do not keep their word and talk like farts!"
"you!"
Just as Bian Zhang was about to get angry, Han Sui on the side quickly stopped him.
"In that case, I'll take my leave!"
"Go, go quickly!"
Han Sui bowed his hand to Liu Zhang and quickly urged Bian Zhang to leave with his team.
If the stalemate continues, something else will inevitably happen, and by then it will be too late!
Liu Zhang also kept his promise and really watched the Xiliang army keep going away until it disappeared from sight.
"Why did the general let them go? These Xiliang rebels have reached the end of their strength!"
Sun Jian was a straight-tempered person, and he would not give up until Liu Zhang explained this issue clearly.
"Wentai, don't say anything more. General Hou has his own reasons for doing things!"
Zhang Wen quickly stopped Sun Jian and stopped his reckless behavior.
If Liu Zhang hadn't arrived in time today, how could they still be alive?
Now that the enemy has retreated, how can Liu Zhang be blamed?
Liu Zhang glanced at Sun Jian lightly and sneered in his heart.
No wonder he was shot to death by Huang Zu, he was really a reckless man!
"Look at the situation of the infantry. Can they still afford weapons?"
Sun Jian looked in the direction Liu Zhang pointed, and sure enough, the soldiers were already sitting on the ground, and some even lay down directly!
"Even so, we still have cavalry and your general's Wu Feng Battalion!"
Liu Zhang sighed and shook his head.
"How many cavalry are there? Let me tell you, our cavalry combined is not even half of the Xiliang Army! Do you understand?"
"If a war breaks out now, what guarantee can you give that we will definitely win? If we lose, everything will be over!"
As early as when Liu Zhang first arrived, he carefully observed the comparison of the strength of the two sides.
Although the Han army still has a lot of infantry, they almost have no combat effectiveness at all, so they can be ignored!
The Han army's cavalry originally numbered 30,000, but after this battle, less than 20,000 were killed or wounded!
Even if Liu Zhang's Wu Feng camp is included, there are not 30,000 people!
And what about the Xiliang army? Liu Zhang took a closer look and found that even if there were not 40,000 soldiers, there must be more than 30,000 soldiers, which was almost twice the size of the Han army!
Although Liu Zhang and his men were brave, they had lost the role of surprise attack after arriving on the battlefield! If thousands of cavalry are mixed into the quagmire of war, their power will definitely be greatly reduced!
Once the war begins, the outcome is unpredictable!
Liu Zhang was familiar with the art of war and understood the key to victory and defeat. How could he make such a stupid decision?
"this..."
Sun Jian was left speechless by Liu Zhang's question. He was focused on exterminating the rebels, but did not notice the situation of his team at all.
"Wentai, what kind of person is the general? How can there be no reason to do things? You are still too young!"
Seeing that Sun Jian was very embarrassed, Zhang Wen quickly went up to comfort him.
However, this sentence was too young, which made Liu Zhang very uncomfortable. Sun Jian was too young? Sun Jian was born in 155, and he is already thirty this year!
How old is Liu Zhang? Sixteen years old!
"Ahem, okay, Zhang Cheqi, it's better to quickly give the order to return to Meiyang City!"
"Didn't Bian Zhang tell you? He sent people to attack Meiyang City."
When Zhang Wen heard what Liu Zhang said, he became nervous again and quickly asked Liu Zhang for help.
"General Hou, if you lead the troops out, what will happen to Meiyang City? If Meiyang City is given to Meiyang City by the rebels..."
Liu Zhang quickly offered words of comfort. He did not expect that Zhang Wen would now become a frightened bird!
"Zhang Cheqi doesn't have to worry, Meiyang City should be fine, but we need to return as soon as possible!"
"In that case, let's return quickly!"
Zhang Wen didn't hesitate and nodded directly in agreement.
Zhang Wen had secretly sworn in his heart that he would only obey Liu Zhang's orders from now on! This kind of self-assertive behavior will never happen again in the future!
After this blow, Zhang Wen finally understood himself. He no longer dares to have the slightest extravagant hope of strategizing and maneuvering on the battlefield, which will leave his name for eternity!
Even for this narrow escape, Zhang Wen already regarded it as a gift from God!
Maybe, what I can do is to assist him in putting down the rebellion!
Zhang Wen looked at Liu Zhang on the side and silently strengthened his belief.
