Chapter 373: The horror of seeking a saint
Since he decided to fight, Zhang Jiao naturally had to make complete preparations and come up with the strongest lineup.
The Yellow Turban has suffered enough losses from the Qin family and his son, so Zhang Jiao cannot afford to miss this battle.
Qin Wen's designated date for the battle was three days later, which gave the Yellow Turban sufficient preparation time.
This engagement was just a small battle. The two sides stipulated that only 30,000 troops would be used for an upright battle.
The main issue with this small number of people is the training quality of the soldiers, while the commander's command ability is slightly inferior.
The Yellow Turbans currently have two camps, the west and the north. Although Zhang Jiao's west camp has 500,000 troops, most of the elite soldiers and generals are concentrated in Xiang Yu's north camp, so this combat mission naturally falls on Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu also knew that Qin Wen had many elite soldiers and strong generals in the Han army, and in order to prevent himself from being unable to defeat the four-handed army with two fists, Xiang Yu borrowed Zhang Jiao's two generals to ensure the final victory.
With Xiang Yu, the king of field battles, Zhang Jiao is still very confident in this battle. After all, so far, no one has defeated Xiang Yu in a field battle.
The 300,000 Han troops, with a strength advantage of one to ten, were no match for Xiang Yu's 30,000 troops, let alone one on one now?
Yes, Xiang Yu suffered losses at the hands of Qin Hao more than once, but those were in terms of generals, and Qin Hao still used "shameless" attrition warfare and wheel warfare, which no one else would be able to withstand.
Both Zhang Jiao and Xiang Yu seemed to have subconsciously chosen to forget that both Qin Hao and Qin Wen had defeated more with less than they had against the Yellow Turbans several times.
So it’s hard to say what the outcome of this battle will be!
After the pre-war meeting, Zhang Liang was left alone by Zhang Jiao.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Liang asked in a low voice: "Brother, is Ning'er really caught by Qin Hao?"
Zhang Jiao sighed, nodded slightly, and briefly recounted what he knew, and then added:
"We have received definite information. Qin Hao did not embarrass Ning'er, and he also said that he would let Ning'er go regardless of winning or losing after the war."
Zhang Liang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Did you hide Ning'er's identity privately? Qin Wen's son is quite interesting."
"Did you see anything, Zifang? What does that kid Qin Hao want to do?" Zhang Jiao asked.
Zhang Liang smiled calmly and said: "It's very simple. Qin Hao's plan is nothing more than three points. First, he just wants to leave a way out for the family, so that no matter who wins or loses in the end, the Qin family can be alone."
Zhang Jiao nodded and he had thought about this. He also thought that Qin Wen wanted to fight with him because he was a big man, but that didn't mean that the entire Qin family wanted to fight with him.
Qin Hao seeks a way out for his family, which makes perfect sense.
"Secondly, this son is also very ambitious. Being Liu Hong's son-in-law is not enough. He also wants to be my Zhang family's son-in-law."
Hearing this, Zhang Ning's expression turned a bit bad. Zhang Ning had been promised to marry Xiang Yu, and his adopted daughter also fell in love with Qin Hao.
If Qin Hao really said what Zhang Liang said, it would be tantamount to playing with the feelings of his two daughters, and how could Zhang Jiao's face improve?
"If Qin Hao dares to touch Ning'er, I will kill him." Zhang Jiao said through gritted teeth.
"Brother, I heard that there is a saying that 'one sight of Qin Lang leads to a lifetime of misunderstandings'. What if Ning'er falls in love with Qin Hao instead, and the two of them even have children, what will you do?" Zhang Liang asked in a playful tone.
"Forehead……"
Zhang Jue was suddenly speechless. He had met Qin Hao himself and knew how lethal Qin Hao's appearance was to women, especially girls.
If his daughter really falls in love with someone else, or if Qin Hao uses force, will he really want to kill his future grandson's biological father?
Seeing that his eldest brother was in a conflict, Zhang Liang said again: "Brother, your vision is... It's not my brother who is talking about you. Look at the people you use, they are not as good as those of your previous apprentices.
Although their abilities are a little inferior, they are more loyal than others. Although their abilities are outstanding, they are all very ambitious. Do you want to dig holes for your future successors?
And why do you fall in love with Xiang Yu? Did you see that Ning'er was a little nervous after something happened? My own daughter also pushed into the fire pit, and third brother, I am convinced by you..."
Zhang Liang became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, pointing out many policy mistakes that Zhang Jiao had made that he should not have made. However, he did not realize that the more he talked, the darker Zhang Jiao's face became.
"That's enough." Zhang Jiao shouted.
Seeing his brother getting angry, Zhang Liang was also frightened and shrank his neck, not daring to say anything more.
"Do you think I want to use ambitious people? Who doesn't like loyal disciples, but how many are left after the war? It's better to use people than to use no one. Besides, you, as a biological brother, don't even help me. Who else can we use besides their big brother?”
Nowadays, most of the Yellow Turban leaders are ambitious people. Zhang Jiao knows this, but Te is helpless because Zhang Jiao has no one to use except them!
How could a powerful man and aristocratic families in the world be defeated by just a group of loyal but mediocre subordinates? So Zhang Jiao must use them.
Zhang Liang felt ashamed when he heard this. If he had fully assisted his elder brother from the beginning, many problems could have been avoided.
As a younger brother, I did not fully support my eldest brother at the first time, which put a lot of pressure on my eldest brother alone.
Zhang Liang was full of regrets, regretting that he should have woken up earlier, but he didn't know that it was not his fault at all.
If Zhang Liang is really Zhang Jiao's brother, even if he knows that the Yellow Turbans will be defeated, he will definitely assist Zhang Jiao with all his strength, but who told him to be balanced by the system halfway? It would be unreasonable to implant memories into Zhang Liang in this way. .
Zhang Jiao put his hands on Zhang Liang's shoulders and said seriously: "Zifang, you are the smartest among the three brothers. The eldest brother is old now and will soon be unable to hold on. If the eldest brother fails in the end, I hope You can find a way for the Yellow Turbans to survive."
Zhang Liang nodded and said seriously: "Brother, don't worry. With the current situation and the help of my third brother, the Yellow Turbans will definitely win."
"You kid..." Zhang Jiao laughed dumbly, and then said: "Tell me about the third point!"
Zhang Liang suddenly showed a solemn look on his face and said: "Thirdly, Qin Hao's move is probably to target Xiang Yu."
Seeking saints is seeking saints after all. 103 points of intelligence is really not a guarantee. In just a few words, Qin Hao's thoughts were completely seen through.
Zhang Liang's analysis was absolutely correct. Qin Hao captured Zhang Ning alive just to target Xiang Yu.
How could a man as arrogant as Xiang Yu allow his fiancée to fall into the hands of others, even if he didn't like it.
If Zhang Ning is in Qin Hao's hands, Xiang Yu will subconsciously target Qin Hao until Zhang Ning rescues him, and this will lead to Qin Hao's trap. chapter;
