Wei Xu said to Lu Bu:"Your Majesty, General Zhang Liao's commanding ability is second to none in the Wolf Kingdom. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else who can stop the allied forces of Feng Kingdom and Liang Kingdom.

Therefore, I want to resist the two countries." A joint attack requires great generals.

As for the Dragon Kingdom, the Dragon Emperor has just formed an alliance with our country, and there is also a marriage relationship. If the Dragon Emperor still uses troops against our country at this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop the world.

Therefore, the possibility of them sending troops is not high, and being careful about them sending troops is just a precaution. I think there is no need to waste the talents of a general for such an unlikely factor. Although I am not as good as a general, I can defend Youzhou soldiers and horses. I think I am still capable of the task. Even if the Dragon Emperor sends troops brazenly regardless of the friendship of the alliance, I am confident that I will fight to the death before His Majesty's reinforcements arrive and prevent the Dragon Kingdom's army from entering our Wolf Kingdom."

Lu Bu listened to Wei Xu's words. , I feel that what he said makes sense. Lu Bu naturally knows Zhang Liao's commanding talents very well. If he is still allowed to guard the northeast of Bingzhou at this time, it will be a waste of talents.

As for Wei Xu, although he is much worse than Zhang Liao, as he said, the Dragon Kingdom may not use troops against the Wolf Kingdom, and once the Dragon Kingdom really sends troops, Lu Bu himself will immediately lead an army to support him.

After considering all possibilities, Lu Bu agreed to Wei Xu's request and sent him to the northeast of Bingzhou to replace Zhang Liao, and transferred Zhang Liao to Hedong to command the entire army to resist the coalition forces of Liang and Feng.

What Wei Xu said was indeed reasonable. The reason why Chen Gong was confused was because of Wei Xu's sudden change.

Although Chen Gong did not follow Lu Bu when he debuted, he had assisted Lu Bu for more than two years, which was enough for him to understand the abilities of each general under Lu Bu's command.

Under Lu Bu, Wei Xu was not among the top three in terms of ability. Not to mention Zhang Liao, even Gao Shun and Zang Ba were far from being comparable to Wei Xu.

Not only is his ability mediocre, but he also has obvious shortcomings as a person.

Such as being greedy for profit, being timid and fearful of getting into trouble, and being irresponsible.

Not only that, he was not self-aware. He always felt that just by virtue of his relationship with Lu Bu, he could rank first among Lu Bu's men, and he suppressed Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others as much as possible.

Because of this, Chen Gong was very surprised when Wei Xu took the initiative to take on the defense work in the northeastern part of Bingzhou and praised Zhang Liao.

However, this was indeed a time of life and death for the Wolf Kingdom, and what Wei Xu said was true. Therefore, although Chen Gong was confused, he only thought that Wei Xu also recognized the crisis at this time, so he didn't think much about it.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wei Xu took Lu Bu's order to Yanmen County in the northeast of Bingzhou to take over from Zhang Liao's defense of Zhao Yun's troops in Youzhou.

Although Zhang Liao had always been at odds with Wei Xu because of Wei Xu's exclusion, at this crisis and with Lu Bu's edict, he did not hesitate to hand over to Wei Xu and headed to Hedong.

Guarding the northeastern part of Bingzhou is a sinecure. Although it is necessary to defend Zhao Yun from invading at any time, with the alliance between the Dragon Kingdom and the Wolf Kingdom, the possibility of Zhao Yun attacking Bingzhou is almost gone.

Therefore, resisting Liang and Feng's attacks on Hedong is what really needs to be concentrated on.

Compared with the other generals under Lu Bu, Zhang Liao does have abilities that are enough for him to assume the position of general.

Even though Zhang Liao is still very young today and has not reached the height of the historical battle of Xiaoyaojin where 800 men defeated Sun Quan's 100,000 army, his combat style of calmness and cool-headedness has been formed.

Not only that, Zhang Liao himself was both civil and military. Not only was he proficient in swords and horses, but he was also well-read in military literature. He was able to flexibly use various tactical formations and had a strong ability to adapt to changes.

Therefore, after Zhang Liao arrived in Hedong County, the war situation in the Wolf Kingdom immediately improved.

Because Zhang Liao went to Hedong County secretly, Liang and Feng states did not know about it, and they still attacked Hedong with their original warriors.

However, after Zhang Liao arrived and took over the position of commander, he ordered the Wolf Kingdom's army to show weakness to the enemy for consecutive days. After a brief battle with the two coalition forces, they retreated directly.

Precisely because of the two consecutive days of easy victory, coupled with the unstoppable advance into the Wolf Country, the two coalition forces thought that the Wolf Country had completely lost its combat effectiveness, and therefore relaxed their vigilance against them.

In fact, during this period, Zhang Liao had been sending a large number of scouts to inquire for information and observe the enemy's movements.

When he learned that the defenses of the two coalition forces had relaxed, he selected 800 elite cavalry the next night to quietly attack the camps of Feng and Liang.

That night, it happened to be dark and windy, and it was hard to see even one's fingers. However, Zhang Liao and other eight hundred soldiers from the Wolf Kingdom also had their horses wrapped around their hooves and silently attacked the enemy.

After several days of great victories, the two coalition forces did not expect that the wolves would attack at night, so even the soldiers patrolling at night fell into a deep sleep.

The eight hundred cavalrymen saw the opportunity and rushed into the enemy camp. Zhang Liao took the lead in waving his long sword and charged towards the enemy commander's Chinese tent.

When the coalition forces of the two countries were awakened by the shouts of being killed, they discovered that a raging fire had been ignited in their camp at some point, and there were cries and cries everywhere.

In the panic, they didn't even have time to put on their armor, so they took out their weapons and charged at the Wolf Kingdom's cavalry under the orders of the corps commander and chief.

However, the improvised army in panic was no match for the well-prepared warriors of the Wolf Kingdom. The eight hundred cavalry charged only twice and completely dispersed the coalition forces.

With Zhang Liao successfully defeating the coalition commander, the coalition forces of Feng and Liang were defeated overnight.

After this battle, Zhang Liao not only defended Hedong County, but also defeated the Fengguo and Liangguo coalition forces with lightning speed and drove them out of Hedong County.

At the same time, the Dragon Kingdom, which was allied with the Wolf Kingdom, also took action. After enjoying the second wedding night in his life, Dragon Emperor Liu Feng also began to mobilize troops and generals to support the Wolf Kingdom.

Since the Wolf Kingdom's army had stabilized its position under Zhang Liao's command, Liu Feng left the main battlefield to the Wolf Kingdom. In order to reduce losses, he decided to adopt a strategy of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao.

Liu Feng first sent Ma Chao to lead his headquarters' 3,000 Dragon City cavalry, plus 30,000 Dragon Kingdom troops southward to enter the Wei army in Jizhou, and sent troops from Wei County to attack Feng Kingdom's Hanoi County.

When Hanoi County was besieged, Yuan Shao would find a way to send a large army to come back for reinforcements, and Zhang Liao would be able to lead his army to follow Feng Guo's army and attack.

At the same time, Dian Wei was ordered to lead Longwu soldiers and 30,000 troops into Wei County, attack Yanzhou East County from Wei County, and prevent the Yanzhou army from supporting Hanoi County.

In addition, Liu Feng ordered Tai Shici to lead long archers and an army of 30,000 to attack Xuzhou to prevent the Wei army in Xuzhou from supporting or take the opportunity to annex Yanzhou.
