Chapter 207 It doesn't matter if Xiangyang City is lost
As the commander-in-chief of Beifu's army, Xie Xuan will maintain his demeanor without being reminded by others. The messenger from Fort Victory has come from afar, and he must not greet him with a tired and worried attitude.
Xie Xuan waved his riding whip to make his mount run faster, and adjusted his sitting posture to look like he was going all out.
Although the Beifu and Di Qin armies have not yet fought each other, Xie Xuan has already shown the courage to fight decisively with them.
This gesture is not only for the Beifu soldiers within sight, but also for the coming messenger from Victory Fort.
As far as he knew, this fast horse expert was actually selected by Wang Mi from among the residents of Victory Fort. He was good at riding and shooting, and especially had excellent endurance.
It is said that he once had a record of running horses continuously for three days and three nights without stopping. This kind of long-distance mission to deliver news is perfect for him.
But this time, the messenger also used 100% of his skills and ran out of Victory Castle, almost without stopping for a moment.
Not only did he not eat a single meal, he even drank all the water on horseback. With his tenacity, he ran all the way from Fort Victory.
Huh...huh uh...
The mottled horse rushed straight towards the Beifu military formation. Its vigorous pace and opening and closing of its chest fully revealed the posture of a peerless horse.
When it carried its owner and flew on the loess outside Xiangyang City, its flowing mane flew up in all directions, demonstrating its infinite power.
It is precisely because of such a good horse that the messenger can rush to Xie Xuan at the right time without stopping.
A good rider needs such a horse to show his excellent riding skills, and a thousand-mile horse also needs a good rider to show its true strength.
I saw the messenger tightening the reins on his horse, and with his skillful shouting, the horse stopped suddenly and crossed over.
Or it could be said that people with high skills are bold.
This messenger was definitely a good rider who could dominate Xiangyang City. The moment he tightened the reins and forced the horse that was running at full speed to stop, it stopped right in front of Xie Xuan.
"Good skill!"
Xie Xuan, who has been in the army for many years and never praises others easily, couldn't help but sigh.
"General, urgent report from Fort Victory!"
The messenger took off his backpack and presented the bamboo tube containing the message with both hands.
Next to Xie Xuan, Liu Laozhi, He Wuji, Huan Chong and others were all in place. Compared with the previous letters, the content of this one is obviously more important.
Several generals, whether they came to see the fun or were really concerned, all came together in unison.
Holding this letter, even Xie Xuan's breathing became a little faster.
The army has already set off, but Xiangyang City is completely unaware of this. If their deployment is different from Xie Xuan's idea, or if an emergency occurs in Xiangyang, all plans will be disrupted.
For marching and fighting, sometimes it is difficult to move quietly. If the army is still camping near Qiaoshan, it will be more convenient no matter how it is mobilized in the future.
Now, in pursuit of speed, Xie Xuan has mobilized his army. If the direction changes midway, it will definitely cause a great commotion.
Maybe it will even affect the battle situation in Xiangyang. If so, then something is very wrong.
Xie Xuan could not help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.
We want to raid Xiangyang, and we hope the general can help us quickly!
That was what was written on the thin letter. Xie Xuan took a breath of air and immediately shouted: "Hurry!"
"Speed up your pace and rush to Xiangyang's aid!"
After a while, Xie Xuan finally spoke. His face was solemn, and he did not seem to be overjoyed by the sudden news.
Everyone else was confused, especially Huan Chong, whose fragile little heart immediately sank with a thud.
"have a look!"
"I told you a long time ago that the plan cannot keep up with the changes!"
"You still don't believe it, Di Qin must have discovered the abnormal situation in Victory Fort, and they are asking us for help!"
"Shi Min, Shi Qian, let's catch up quickly!"
Huan Chong took the lead, and behind him, Huan Shiqian and Huan Shimin also led their troops forward. He Wuji watched the soldiers running past him who suddenly quickened their pace, but he still refused to give up.
"With Wang Mi here, how could anything go wrong in Victory Castle?"
"General Huan, do you believe it?"
This Huan is not the other Huan, and the older General Huan Chong has already rushed ahead to trouble Xie Xuan. At this moment, walking side by side with He Wuji is Huan Yi, who is recognized as a prudent man.
He Wuji knew that Huan Yi and Wang Mi had a close relationship, so he spoke out his thoughts truthfully.
Huan Yi sighed: "Although I don't believe it, we still have to look at the real situation in Xiangyang City. Secretary Wang is quite resourceful, but after all, he has no experience in war."
"It's normal if you encounter difficulties and can't solve them."
Huan Yi's words made He Wuji worried.
On the other side, Huan Chong, who was triumphant and ready to add insult to injury, finally caught up with Xie Xuan quickly and slowly.
Xie Xuan spotted him as soon as he glanced out of the corner of his eye, but didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.
As the saying goes, a country can easily change its nature, but a dog cannot change its nature. As for what Huan Chong was thinking at this moment, Xie Xuan could guess it without him having to say anything.
You can tell just by looking at his secret expression.
"General Xie, don't be too impatient. This time we command an army of hundreds of thousands. We are strong and we will definitely be able to take back Xiangyang City!"
"I have been running the Jingzhou area for many years, so I have experience. Although the Di Qin army in Xiangyang City is not easy to deal with, we are not without a chance."
"If Victory Fort really falls to Di Qin, there is no need to worry too much. We only need to concentrate on capturing Xiangyang."
"Now that Xiangyang is here, the surrounding areas are not yet in my hands."
Huan Chong smiled cheerfully and did not notice at all that Xie Xuan's face was already quite ugly.
What experience does he have?
It’s just an experience of escaping from battle!
Let alone fighting Di Qin, he probably has never even seen Di Qin's military flag!
"Who said Fort Victory is going to be lost?"
Amidst the galloping horses, Xie Xuan's voice was blown by the wind, and Huan Chong was stunned.
"Didn't Fort Victory come to ask for help?"
"Didn't the Di Qin army in Xiangyang City capture the Victory Fort?"
Xie Xuan frowned: "General Huan, which side are you facing?"
"you still need to ask!"
"Of course it's the Jin army!" Huan Chong straightened his face and looked serious. Who dares to doubt my sincerity!
"It's good that you still know."
The war in Xiangyang was about to start, and Xie Xuan had no time to tangle with him.
"Desheng Fort is indeed asking for help, but not because they were attacked by Di Qin, but because they want to raid Xiangyang City!"
After saying these words, Xie Xuan whipped his riding whip three times, leaving Huan Chong far behind.
After the billowing yellow dust, Huan Chong was left alone, messy in the wind.
