Chapter 143

"I'm going to fuck you, Ma Yao!" the wild bear roared loudly, his voice full of grief and indignation.

He who made this roar was in Ma Yaozi's tent with Dunzhu, Yan Jin, Fanshun and others.

Thinking about how a quarter of an hour ago, he came to Ma Yaozi's camp happily and prepared to have a good meal, but when he arrived, he realized that Ma Yaozi had no good intentions.

They ate the sheep, as well as some side dishes to go with wine, which were very delicious, but the cruel part was here. Ma Yaozi used the excuse that the wine was given to him by Erlangjun, so the prohibition on alcohol was only valid for him. Everyone can eat the sheep together, but only the kite can drink the wine.

"Ma Yaozi, I want to marry you too! You bitch slave, next time I make a great contribution and get some fine wine, I will definitely ask you to come and have fun with me. You must remember to accept it!"

Yan Jin gnashed his teeth on a leg of lamb, but the leg of lamb, which was usually very chewy, felt like firewood in his mouth.

Ma Yaozi smiled proudly, but still looked like he wanted to be beaten, "Then what if I don't come?"

"Don't come? Humph! Even if your leg is broken, a certain brother and a few brothers will have to carry you over!" Dunzhu and Fanshun said viciously in unison, which made Ma Yaozi's legs go cold.

Zhang Zhao hummed a little tune and walked past Ma Yaozi's tent. After listening to a few words carefully, he nodded with satisfaction and walked away.

That Ma Yaozi would do this was something Zhang Zhao specifically explained after the meeting. The purpose, of course, was to create a culture of thinking in his army.

For these soldiers of Hanshandu, it is not enough to have brave generals, they must also cultivate a group of handsome talents.

There are more and more soldiers under his command, and there are more and more places to fight. He can't let Zhang Erlang lead the troops himself every time, and he has to go into battle to kill people!

Returning to his bedroom, Zhang Zhao took out a goldfish bag from his arms. This kind of thing was originally used to hold fish charms.

The fish talisman was a reward that only officials of the fifth rank or above in the Tang Dynasty could receive. It was equivalent to a certificate for entering and exiting the palace. The bag containing the fish talisman was called a fish bag. There were two kinds of fish bags: gold and silver. The gold fish bag was of the third rank or above. can only be obtained.

However, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, this thing had already begun to spread due to excessive rewards. By the Five Dynasties, many wealthy families who were not officials could get a few to hang on their bodies. Therefore, people like Zhang Zhao had several goldfish bags. , not surprising at all.

But this goldfish bag is a little different. Along with the fish bag, there is a very finely carved jade pendant, and there is also a letter. The letter is written in delicate handwriting and contains a few faint greetings. Zhang Zhao seems to feel it even more. The protagonist's implicit joy.

Okay! This goldfish bag, jade pendant and letter were all brought by Cao Jiuniang, Cao Yanxi, the legal wife of Duke Zhang, and a merchant from Tuosha Prefecture. Zhang Zhao picked up the goldfish bag and smelled it gently. There was a faint smell. The fragrance is very nice.

However, he felt a little embarrassed immediately. Although Cao Yanxi had already made an engagement with him but had not had time to hire his wife, she was still a girl of only thirteen years old.

God knows why the ancients were so precocious? Not only did a thirteen-year-old girl have a fiancé, she also knew how to embroider a goldfish bag for her fiancé. There was a sense of impatient urgency in her writing.

And he seemed to be somewhat assimilated. He actually took the goldfish bag embroidered by the thirteen-year-old girl and gently sniffed it.

Zhang Zhao laughed to himself, and looked at the date of the letter. This was an agreement between Cao Sanniang and him, and she would write the date at the end of each letter.

If the date is in the early ten days of the month, that is, from the first to the tenth day of the lunar month, it means that Cao Yijin's health is very good. If the date is in the middle of the tenth day, that is, from the eleventh to the twentieth, it means that Cao Yijin's health is not very good.

In the second half of the year, Cao Yijin's health will definitely have a big problem.

And the smaller the date, the better the health of Cao Yijin. Zhang Zhao looked at the date, February 18th, and it seemed that there was indeed a big problem with Cao Yijin's health.

Because more than twenty means there is a big problem, so the number eighteen actually represents danger.

Zhang Zhao took a deep breath. Cao Yijin's physical condition hung in his heart like a restriction.

He can't go back too early. Cao Yijin is not an easy opponent to deal with.

You can't go back too late. If you go back too late and miss the handover of power to Cao's Guiyi Army, I'm afraid that if you want to seize power, you'll still have to resort to force.

But there are only less than 100,000 Han people in the Hexi area. Even if you add the Chinese Sogdians and Tyuhun people, they are in the early 200,000. This is his basic base. If you can avoid killing people, it is best not to die. In Gua

The last thing Zhang Zhao wanted to see was the use of weapons in Sha Er.

Turning his eyes, he saw another stacking formation that was said to be 'designed by himself', but was actually plagiarized.

This is a standard defensive counterattack formation. Although it can defeat cavalry with foot, its poor mobility is the most obvious shortcoming.

That is to say, the prerequisite for this formation to be effective is that the enemy must take the initiative to attack you, rather than you taking the initiative.

Zhang Zhao recalled the historical usage records of Wu Lin, the inventor of stacked formations. He almost always used light troops to provoke the Jin army to attack, and then continued to make small moves to completely annoy the Jin army and let them use their strength.

Attack wildly and defeat them in the end.

But once the Jin army did not take the initiative to attack, this formation would lose its due role.

It's a bit difficult! Zhang Zhao sighed. Historically, stacked formations have worked. That's because the battlefield situation was that Jin was strong and Song was weak, and they were much stronger. The Jin army often defeated the Song army with one against ten, so they had a psychological

Advantage, easily provoked and launched a violent attack.

But the situation Zhang Zhao faced was different. The Kara Khanate was able to suppress Khotan and fight not because the Kara Khan's army was far stronger than that of Khotan, but because they occupied a geographical advantage and had Shulejian.

The city is available.

Secondly, there is a steady stream of replenishment, which allows the Kara Khanate to fight a war of attrition with Khotan. Even an exchange ratio of two to one or even three to one is beneficial to the Kara Khanate.

Therefore, the long-standing war pattern is that when the Khotanian army cannot attack Shule for a long time and is exhausted, Karakhan's army will take the initiative to go out to fight in the field.

What the hell, Zhang Zhao wanted to use stacked formations to attack Karakhan's cavalry, but in fact, Karakhan's army was often the passive side.

No! We have to find a way to let Karakhan's army take the initiative.

Zhang Zhao once again thought of his original crazy idea that could be called a last-ditch battle, that is, he took more than 2,000 people directly to the lower city of Atush to form a formation and lure Kara Khan's army to attack.

If they have tens of thousands of cavalry and still dare not come to fight the more than 2,000 infantry formations, then Karakhan's army will not have to go to the battlefield in the future.

Moreover, I might be able to claim his reputation for conquering the city of Shule, and use Saktu's Queen Cao to make some fuss?

However, this kind of danger is not small. If he is defeated, or if the Khotan army's support is just too late, he will be in danger of being annihilated!

Zhang Zhao touched his head. For more than a year, it seemed that every battle he fought was spent in extreme danger. Every time he used small things to make big gains, his strength was still too low!
