The high spirits he had when he led his troops here all disappeared at this time.
A lot of ambition and ambition have also disappeared.
The reason for this is that there are about ten more people in his army at this time.
These people did not have high status, and they did not give him any strong orders that were extremely detrimental to him.
But even so, Zhang Miao's face was still extremely gloomy, and he felt a little frightened!
Because these ten or so people have a common identity - the Bai Bo bandits defeated the troops!
This was brought back by the outpost that he sent out after encountering it.
Through the defeat of the Baibo bandits, Zhang Miao learned about the defeat of the Baibo bandits in Mengjin.
I also learned that Liu Cheng and Liu Kede, whose flags were still set up at Sishui Pass, led their troops to Mengjin!
For Zhang Miao, the latter news was more frightening and made him feel heavy than the news of the first Baibo bandit's defeat.
Immediately after receiving the news, Zhang Miao was frightened and also had some thoughts of retreat.
However, he kept all these in his heart.
After all, the last time, after meeting Liu Cheng at Hulao Pass, he left overnight, leaving behind a lot of baggage. It could be said that he was following the order of the alliance leader Yuan Shao to retreat.
Some rhetoric.
If at this time, after hearing Liu Cheng's name and his new achievements, he leads his troops away again without even seeing him, that would be really embarrassing!
It will definitely be laughed at by many people.
Even if others don't laugh at him, Zhang Miao himself feels shameless.
After all, Zhang Miao is also a shameless person.
"...My lord, although Liu Cheng and others achieved a great victory, their troops are limited after all, and after repeated attacks, the troops and horses are bound to be exhausted. I think it is not without a chance for us to lead the troops over..."
"
Someone under his command came to advise Zhang Miao.
"It's not too late to wait until the sentinels who went to Mengjin's place return to see what the situation is there before making a decision!"
Zhang Miao thought for a moment and then made a decision.
Hearing Zhang Miao say this, Zhang Miao's people stopped talking...
…
"... Where Mengjin is, there are not many soldiers and horses on the north bank, and there are boats constantly coming and going on the river.
When going from the north bank to the south bank, food, fodder, soldiers, etc. are transported.
When returning from the south coast to the north coast, the boat is empty.
The people there are transporting soldiers, horses, food, grass and many other things to the south bank. There are not many soldiers and horses left on the north bank, and it seems that they are not ready to defend the north bank..."
The dusty sentinels who had been running along the way came to Zhang Miao and quickly reported to Zhang Miao the news they knew.
After reporting the information, seeing Zhang Miao still looking at him, the sentry rider was stunned for a moment, then immediately remembered something and said quickly:
"There are no battle flags here on the north bank. The battle flag of Liu Cheng, governor of Sishui Pass, is on the south bank..."
After listening to what the sentry knight said, Zhang Miao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Liu Cheng is not on the north bank of Mengjindu!
If you have the guts to go there and fight, then lead your troops and leave.
In this case, there is a fact of war.
I won’t be gossiped about and said that I am afraid of Liu Cheng and Liu Kede like a tiger...
"Pass my order! The whole army must move quickly. We must reach Mengjin Ferry before evening, and then defeat Dong Ni's troops occupying the Baibo bandit camp in one fell swoop!"
Let those Baibo thieves and everyone in the world take a good look at our fighting power!"
After learning the true situation of the camp on the north bank of Mengjindu, Zhang Miao immediately became energetic.
He sat on the horse, straightened his waist, and spoke with a righteous face, his whole person was full of fighting spirit!
The reason why he conveyed the order in such a hurry was mainly because he was worried that if he was delayed for a long time on the road, their movements would be noticed by Liu Cheng and others at Mengjindu, so they could make targeted arrangements and suffer a loss.
.
Zhang Miao absolutely does not want this kind of thing to happen.
Anyway, this time, he made preparations to eat some Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses on the north bank of Mengjin and leave.
Everything must be done safely...
After passing these orders, Zhang Miao suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, held it in his hand, pointed it forward, and shouted loudly: "Forward!"
Following his loud shout, many soldiers and horses immediately accelerated towards the front under the orders of generals at all levels, following the direction of Zhang Miao's sword.
It seems to be very organized.
Seeing an army of more than 20,000 people rolling forward as his sword pointed, Zhang Miao straightened his waist even more.
At such a moment, he suddenly had the idea that with such a powerful army in hand, he could not fight against Liu Cheng and Liu Kede!!
However, this idea appeared suddenly and left just as quickly.
What drove this idea away from Zhang Miao's mind immediately was none other than the palm of his hand that came into close contact with Zhang Miao's face and made some loud noises.
Zhang Miao was the governor of a county and the commander-in-chief of the army. At this time, naturally no one dared to slap him in the face, and they slapped him so hard.
The only person who can slap him like this is himself.
Zhang Miao is a very realistic person, especially after remembering that Sun Jian, Pan Feng, Hua Xiong, Gongsun Zan, and the Baibo bandits whose troops far exceeded the number of troops he led were all defeated by Liu Cheng, with very tragic consequences.
Zhang Miao immediately slapped himself hard in the face to break his sudden, unrealistic and blind confidence!
With so many bloody examples, how brave do you have to have such confidence?!
Although the army was marching at this time, Zhang Miao's extremely sudden move still attracted the attention of many people around him.
At this time, Zhang Miao also noticed the surprised looks of many of his followers looking at him, and he also knew that what he had just done was out of character.
He immediately explained: "A mosquito bit my face!"
The attendant next to him looked at himself, who was wearing relatively thick clothes, and then looked at the five extremely clear slap marks on his face after his general removed his hand, and he immediately fell into confusion.
"Prefect, the weather is not yet hot, and there are not many mosquitoes. Moreover, even if there are mosquito bites on your face, you don't need to exert such force, right?"
After all, there are still honest people out there.
A follower opened his mouth full of doubts.
Zhang Miao felt embarrassed when he heard this, and his face suddenly darkened.
"I have a neighbor who is ninety years old. Do you know why?"
He looked at the soldiers and spoke out, his expression already becoming unkind.
"Little, little man, I don't know, but please give me some advice from the prefect..."
Although the soldier realized something was wrong, seeing Zhang Miao speak out like this, it was not good not to answer. He was entangled in his heart, so he could only bite the bullet and follow Zhang Miao's words to answer and ask questions.
"Because he never talks much!!"
Zhang Miao said coldly.
After saying that, he took a hard look at his entourage, then galloped forward on horseback.
The follower shrank his head when he heard this and broke out in cold sweat. He kept his mouth tightly closed all the way and did not dare to say another word...
