LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 416
Zhang Ren is proud and conceited, but he is not stupid.
When the Sword Pavilion Pass was still there, he knew that it was not Guan Yu's master, so he chose to resolutely abandon the pass and retreat north.
Now that the Sword Pavilion Pass has been lost, in this wild place, how could he be impulsive and fight against Guan Yu's 80,000 army.
Isn't that self-defeating?
He Zhang Ren still has to keep this useful body, guard Yangping Pass for Cao Cao, and guard Hanzhong!
Because he knows very well that the gains and losses in Hanzhong are related to the safety of Cao Wei's hinterland.
Once Hanzhong is lost, Guanzhong will not be protected.
If Guanzhong is not protected, then the Wei State will perish.
The Wei State is finished, what else will he take to avenge Liu Zhang?
Thereupon.
10,000 Wei troops abandoned their baggage and stool, like a lost dog, even rolling and crawling, regardless of a 29 cut towards Yangping Pass.
Yang Ping closes.
Zhang Ren finally met Cao Zhen.
"General Cao, Yinping is a choke point, why don't you defend it with heavy troops?"
"It was so easy that the Han army was able to sneak attack, so that my Sword Pavilion abandoned without a fight?"
As soon as Zhang Ren met, he questioned Cao Zhen with his head and face.
And it's no wonder.
Zhang Ren was originally the first general in Shu, what a status, what a pride.
Whether it is the Liu Yan era or the Liu Zhang era, he is the undisputed head of the three armies.
Therefore, after he surrendered to Cao Cao, he thought that with his strength and qualifications, Cao Cao would appoint him as the head of the Yizhou generals to command the Yizhou army.
Mended.
In the end, Cao Cao appointed Cao Zhen to sit in Nanzheng and command the generals.
He, the number one general in Shu, became Cao Zhen's subordinate.
He already complained about this.
However, if it was replaced by Xiahou Yuan, he would endure such Wei generals who were friends with his peers.
Cao Zhen is something.
It's just a yellow-mouthed child.
Whether it's qualifications or achievements, there's nothing bright about it.
Just because he was Cao Cao's adopted son, he became the commander of the three armies with nepotism and rode on his head.
Zhang Ren, who has always been conceited, naturally can't swallow this bad breath.
That's it.
Unconvinced in his heart, Zhang Ren was at least polite to Cao Zhen on the face, so as to save some face for Cao Cao.
But now, you Cao Zhen actually lost Yinping, so that he had to give up the Sword Pavilion and was chased to Yangping Pass by Guan Yu like a lost dog.
Such a clumsy command succeeded in angering Zhang Ren, making Zhang Ren look down on Cao Zhen from the bottom of his heart.
Now that the two are seeing each other again, the resentment in Zhang Ren's heart flared up, and he didn't give Cao Zhen face on the spot.
Zhang He and other generals smelled the smell of gunpowder, lowered their heads one after another, took a few steps back, and gave way to the battlefield.
Cao Zhen looked at the menacing Zhang Ren in front of him, and his brows couldn't help frowning secretly.
Of course, he knew that this No. 1 general in Shu was unconvinced by himself.
It's just that.
Even if you don't accept it, you are also my nominal subordinate, so you have to give me some thin noodles.
Now, in front of all the generals, you are openly questioning my commanding ability, so that I will not be able to step down.
Can I bear this?
"My Hanzhong legion is no more than 40,000 people. "
"I have divided three thousand soldiers and horses to defend Yinping City, which is already a lot compared to other cities. "
"It's only because the candidate was incompetent and neglected to take precautions that Wen Qin's sneak attack was successful and he captured Yinping City. "
"The blame lies only with the candidates. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Zhang Gongyi, what are your intentions to question the general now?"
Cao Zhen put all the basins on the candidate's head, and made a cold retort.
Zhang Ren was speechless.
Cao Zhen's words are not strong.
There are only more than 40,000 people in the Hanzhong Legion, and if you want to defend the Sword Pavilion, you must have at least more than 10,000 people.
Yangping Pass, Nanzheng and other important places, let's also divide troops to garrison.
The army is overstretched, and it is impossible for every city to be heavily defended.
In comparison, Yinping City can be divided into 3,000 people to defend it, which is already considered a "heavy army".
Cao Zhen's explanation is indeed not a strong word, let alone a lack of responsibility.
"Even so. "990" General Cao, as the commander of the three armies, how can you not prevent the Han army from taking the Yinping Ancient Road?"
"Such a mistake is too low-level. "
Zhang Ren changed the spearhead again.
That's true.
You, Cao Zhen, are the commander of the Hanzhong Army, so you naturally have to be thoughtful in all aspects. []
You should have considered in advance that it was possible for the Han army to smuggle through Yinping and launch a surprise attack on Yinping City from the Yinping Ancient Road.
You, on the other hand, are unguarded and have no warning of the candidates.
This caught the candidates off guard.
You Cao really want to shirk responsibility, and you want to be beautiful.
Faced with Zhang Ren's questioning, Cao Zhen asked rhetorically:
"Although this commander is the commander of the Hanzhong Army, he is not from Yizhou after all. "
"You Zhang Gongyi is the first general in Shu, why didn't you remind the general of the existence of the Yinping Ancient Road at the previous military meeting?"
"Zhang Gongyi, you are too derelict in your duty. "
Cao Zhen splashed the dirty water back again.
Zhang Ren was speechless again.
