After Yang Feng and Guo Wu set off, he stood on the hillside, staring eagerly, waiting anxiously.
Seeing the fire in Li Jue's camp started and the fire in Li Jue's camp went out, his mood fluctuated, and hope was like those fires, which were ignited for less than a while and then extinguished again.
Li Jue's camp did not cause chaos, and Guo Si and Yang Ding did not take advantage of the situation to attack.
Then there was an unbearable wait until Yang Feng and Guo Wu returned to the camp safely.
Without having to rest, Liu Xie ordered people to count the casualties, heal the wounded and asked about the entire war.
Yang Feng was very excited and talked about the whole process with his hands and feet. Finally, he said with some regret: "It's a pity that he didn't meet Feixiong Army, otherwise I would have killed Li Shi to repay His Majesty."
Liu Xie was in a good mood and didn't bother to correct Yang Feng's misconduct.
Although the expected total purpose was not achieved, the good thing was that the loss was not large and was within an acceptable range.
If you really meet the Feixiong Army, if you have a fierce battle, you will definitely lose more than this.
"Didn't you meet Feixiong Jun?"
"I did not meet it." In contrast, Guo Wu was much calmer. "I think they may not be in the camp. With the strength of the Feixiong Army, if they were in the camp, they would never be closed and watched me.
Wait and leave calmly.”
Liu Xie deeply agrees.
The Feixiong Army is an elite cavalry under Li Jue's command. It's unreasonable to watch the enemy cavalry attack camp but do not show up, even if this cavalry may be the Xiliang cavalry led by Zhang Xiu.
Not being in the camp is the greatest possibility.
Then where are they?
Liu Xie could not think of a reason, so he could only instruct Yang Feng to step up his guard and prevent Li Jue from sending people to retaliate.
The soldiers were arranged to go to rest, but Liu Xie couldn't sleep and discussed the possibility of subsequent development with Ding Chong.
Judging from Yang Feng and Guo Wu's narrative, the actual losses caused by this night attack were very limited, and the casualties were almost negligible. It is hard to say whether it could trigger the changes they hoped for.
Not every butterfly flaps a wing, can trigger a storm.
The two discussed at the end and felt that no matter what the result was, they should be prepared to face Li Jue's attack.
After Li Jue was angered, he might make a last-minute attack and attack at all costs.
This is not a bad thing, it is a good thing.
With the current situation, I am not afraid of Li Jue's fierce attack, but I am afraid of Li Jue's failure.
After discussing various possibilities, it was already dawn.
Liu Xie asked Ding Chong to take a break, picked up his pen, wrote a handwritten edict to Jia Xu, briefly introducing the process of the night attack, and making Jia Xu ready for response.
As for how to respond, he didn't say.
——
Jia Xu also did not sleep all night.
When Li Jue's camp became popular, Dong Cheng received the news and hurriedly brought people outside his camp, calling it protection.
Jia Xu was not interested in Dong Cheng's thoughts at all, but he was very interested in the fire in Li Jue's camp.
However, Dong Cheng was determined to protect him and did not arrange for the scout to inquire about the news, so they knew nothing except the fire in Li Jue's camp.
Until he received the emperor's decree.
After reading the edict, Jia Xu raised his eyebrows gently and a smile bloomed from the corner of his eyes.
"The revival of the Han Dynasty is expected." Jia Xu put down the edict and looked at Dong Cheng. "General, you have a good daughter and you will be rich and worry-free in the future."
Dong Cheng blinked, grinned, and stroked his beard proudly.
He also felt that the Dong family started with their daughter. This was the case before, and now it is the case.
Jia Xu pondered for a moment. "How about I give the general a credit?"
Dong Cheng was moved for a moment and was about to nod and agreed. When he thought about it, he shook his head again. "I have limited abilities, and I don't seek merit, but I just want no mistakes. Besides, I only have 300 troops now, and I don't have the chance to make meritorious.
”
Jia Xu smiled slightly. "No need for a general, a soldier, a wooden slip, and a few lines of short note."
Dong Cheng couldn't control his curiosity. "Short notes? Who are you for?"
"Guo Si."
Dong Cheng hesitated. "I have never had any contact with him, so why bother with him? What does his life or death have to do with me?"
"The general can not care about Guo Si's life or death, but he must not care about His Majesty's victory or defeat." Jia Xu took a wooden slip from the case, took out a pen and ink, and pushed it to Dong Cheng. "The court was trapped by Li Jue, so there may be more guarding it.
, the attack is insufficient. Although strange plans come out and the situation reverses, Guo Si and Yang Ding will eventually need to send troops. If the general can write a few lines on the short note, tomorrow's destiny is in the direction of the general, and persuade Guo Si to fight against the thieves and share the worries of the court, wouldn't it be a meritorious
?”
Dong Cheng felt it was reasonable, but he still didn't understand it very much. "Guo Si obeyed the minister's words, why didn't the minister get his own merit?"
"I was born in Liangzhou and was an old official from Dong Zhuo, and I was not accepted by the ministers of Guandong. Even if you are not abandoned by Your Majesty, you will inevitably be in conflict. The general has a good daughter, and may be able to help him in the future and not to isolate me without friends."
Dong Cheng stared at Jia Xu for a moment and nodded.
Jia Xu is right, he needs friends.
But it is not only Jia Xu who needs friends, but also Dong Cheng.
Jia Xu is an old official from Dong Zhuo, so why is he Dong Cheng the same?
It is true that his daughter and the emperor were childhood playmates, but she was not as good as the queen Fushou in terms of family background or knowledge. In the future, she would inevitably be suppressed by Fushou. If he could form an alliance with Jia Xu and make contributions, his daughter would be in the palace.
There is also confidence to speak.
"Thank you, Shizhong." Dong Cheng picked up the pen. "If you can make a contribution, you will not forget the kindness of Shizhong's guidance."
Jia Xu waved his hand with a smile, and wrote a letter of persuasion to surrender in Dong Cheng's tone, which was written by Dong Cheng, and then sent someone to Guo Si camp.
——
After receiving Dong Cheng's letter of persuasion, Guo Si disagreed and was even disappointed.
What he wanted to receive the most was not Dong Cheng's letter of persuasion, but Jia Xu's promise.
The misunderstanding has been caused. Li Jue may launch an attack at any time. He is in a dilemma whether to fight or surrender.
At this moment, if he could get Jia Xu's promise and ensure that the court would not hold him accountable and would not cut off his retreat when he faced Li Jue, he could face the battle with peace of mind.
What is Dong Cheng?
Just when Guo Si was struggling, Deputy General Xie Guang rushed to report.
Li Jue's camp is gathering and can launch an attack soon. Whether to fight or surrender, we must make a decision as soon as possible.
Guo Qin was very impatient and threw Dong Cheng's letter of persuasion to Xie Guang, complaining: "What is Jia Xu's intention? He has reached this point, so is he unwilling to give me a correct word?"
Xie Guang picked up the book of persuasion and read it, and was surprised and happy. "General, this book of persuasion is more useful than Mr. Jia's promise."
Guo Si looked at Xie Guang in surprise.
"General, the emperor is called Dong Hou, who is that Dong?"
Guo Si also reacted suddenly and raised his hand and slapped his forehead. "I forgot that although Dong Cheng was incompetent, he was a member of Empress Dowager Dong."
"Yes, his daughter Dong Wan was the playmate of the emperor when she was a child, and it would be a matter of time before she entered the palace. Furthermore, although Dong Cheng was a royal relative, he was once a member of the Taishi Dong and was despised by court officials. If he could do so, he would be with the emperor.
If the generals form an alliance and support each other in the future, will they be in the same state of harmony?”
Guo Si woke up from his dream and beat Xie Guang hard.
"Old Xie, you still have a brain. Then what should I do?"
"Take the initiative first." Xie Guang said loudly: "I am ordered to fight against the thief."
