"How is that possible?" The dozen or so young generals behind Xun Wenruo all looked at the fallen Zang Ba with disbelief. Zang Ba, who was an unparalleled majesty, was defeated by the little-known young general on the opposite side with just a few words.
It took just a few moves to kill him on the spot.
At this time, these more than ten young generals were already scared. Lian Zang Ba could only hold on to a few moves in the hands of this young general, let alone them. It is conceivable that if they had been replaced just now, they would have been killed on the spot like Zang Ba.
.The young generals who were clamoring to kill Wei Yan just now were now pale with fear.
Xu Chu, who was beside Xun Wenruo, also looked at Wei Yan solemnly. Even he could not kill Zang Ba so easily, but the young general in front of him did it, and did it so easily. Although Zang Ba was careless.
Before, but he shouldn't be killed so easily. How could Xu Chu not take it seriously.
"Wei Yan?" Xun Wenruo muttered Wei Yan's name silently, with a bitter look on his face. This trip to Jingzhou finally made him understand what it means to have a world outside the sky. Liu Qi, Zhuge Liang and others who were only 20 years old in Xiangyang silenced him.
Speechless.
Then Xu Chu, who he had pinned his hopes on, was defeated by a young man in his twenties. Now Zang Ba was beheaded by an unknown young general in Jingzhou. After thinking about it, the trip to Jingzhou only lasted more than ten days.
After several losses, and now even one of its generals, is it possible that Jingzhou is really going to rise?
"Wei Yan is here, who are you waiting for to die?" Wei Yan ignored Zang Ba, who was already dead, and pointed at Xun Wenruo's army with his long spear in his hand and shouted.
Hearing Wei Yan's shout, all the dozen or so people behind Xun Wenruo turned red. What Zang Ba said just now was so ironic for Wei Yan, who was now beheading Zang Ba to say it.
Xun Wenruo took a deep breath, patted his horse and said, "May I ask what position the general holds in Jingzhou?"
Xun Wenruo had already developed a desire to win over the young general in front of him. Now that Zang Ba was dead in the army, no one except Xu Chu was the opponent of the young general in front of him. Although Xu Chu was still injured, it was no longer a serious problem, but Xu Chu was Cao Cao.
Wouldn't it be bad if love was lost here?
"I am the guard of Jiyang. Since no one dares to come out to die, you should leave quickly, otherwise you will die on the spot." Wei Yan did not want to go against Pang Tong's wishes and cause trouble for Liu Qi, pointing at Xun Wenruo.
.
"Haha, isn't it a pity that the general is so courageous and is now guarding this land of Thorny Sun? Corporal Cao Sikong Lixian is very hungry for talents. With his talents as a general, he will definitely be reused. Isn't it much better than being in this land?" Xun Wenruo smiled.
Said. At the same time, he also looked down upon Liu Biao. Such a great talent was actually just a Jiyang guard. Liu Biao really didn't know how to employ people. He originally thought highly of Xiangyang, but now he shook his head secretly.
"Haha, thief Cao is shameless. I didn't expect that your subordinates are even more shameless. Fortunately, my lord said that you were forced to work for thief Cao, but I didn't expect that you are also a person who is just trying to gain fame." After hearing Xun Wenruo's words, Wei Yan laughed and said
.
"You must leave immediately, otherwise I will order you to wait for the body to be found on the spot." Wei Yan shouted sternly with a slightly cold face.
"Oh, may I ask the general who the lord is?" Xun Wenruo was a little annoyed by what Wei Yan said, but he couldn't help asking after hearing Wei Yan's words. This Wei Yan was such a talented man, but he only served as a Jiyang guard, and he didn't feel dissatisfied at all.
It made him a little strange that his solicitation was so disdainful.
"My lord is Liu Qi, the son of General Zhennan. Don't you agree?" Wei Yan suddenly straightened up and showed a threatening aura. He was afraid that if Xun Wenruo dared to say anything less than Liu Qi, he would step forward and kill Xun Wenruo.
"It turns out it's him." Xun Wenruo pondered for a while and said with his hands raised: "In that case, we will have to fight another day."
At this time, Xun Wenruo had already understood why Wei Yan was so disdainful of his recruitment. Several people under Liu Qi were all talented people, but their official positions were not high. But even so, he could see that some people were loyal to Liu Qi. Such people
He asked himself that he had no ability to make them surrender.
Wei Yan killed Zang Ba's army and was in great momentum. If they continued to struggle, Wei Yan's army would only become more powerful. The eight thousand soldiers and horses behind him had no intention of fighting at this time. Even if they sent Xu Chu, they would not necessarily
can save the situation.
"I will accompany you at any time." Wei Yanchang waved his hand and led three thousand soldiers and horses back to the city.
The three thousand soldiers and horses behind him had no advantage in fighting on the flat ground, and there was Xu Chu in Xun Wenruo's army who was not weaker than him, and with Xun Wenruo sitting in the army, he was the one who really suffered in the fight.
However, if Xun Wenruo hesitated at this time, Wei Yan's army was in great momentum. Once a fight broke out and Xu Chu stopped Wei Yan, he could command the army to kill the three thousand soldiers and horses in front of him, but by then he might have lost more than half of his eight thousand army.
Not to mention taking Wancheng, those who had not yet been brought and occupied Jiyang might have been wiped out by the Flying Tiger Army that came later.
Both sides had concerns and acquiesced to the other's actions.
"Why did the military advisor let Wei Yan off so easily?" Xu Chu came to Xun Wenruo's tent as soon as he returned to the camp and asked. In front of him today, Zang Ba was killed. Cao Cao and Xun Wenruo were scolded by Wei Yan.
This made him extremely angry.
"General Xu, please sit down. If we fight with Wei Yan today, I am afraid that most of our eight thousand soldiers and horses will be lost. At that time, Wancheng's Flying Tiger Army only needs to take advantage of the situation to pursue them, and they can keep us here. What will happen today?"
Although Wei Yan won a small victory, I already know something about him. Although this man is extraordinary in martial arts, there is nothing to worry about. General Xu will lead five thousand soldiers and horses to camp outside Jiyang City tonight. You don't have to worry about Wei Yan's army coming to attack.
To go into battle, we just need to keep harassing him. I took the remaining soldiers and horses to fetch Nieyang first, and took the time to prevent Wei Yan from looking at each other, and the formation would be in chaos." Xun Wenruo shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, military advisor, I will definitely not let Wei Yan cause trouble for you." Xu Chu said with his hands in hand. Although he was not familiar with the art of war, he was certainly not stupid. After hearing Xun Wenruo's explanation, he naturally understood Xun Wenruo's plan.
"Well, with General Xu there, Wei Yan will not dare to act rashly, but if Wei Yan comes to challenge General Xu, he cannot leave the camp to fight." Xun Wenruo said a few words worriedly. Although Xu Chu was a fierce general, his personality was too much
Reckless, if Wei Yan were to seize the opportunity, the remaining five thousand soldiers and horses might be doomed. But now he has no one available except Xu Chu.
"Don't worry, military advisor." Xu Chu waved his hands and said indifferently.
Seeing Xu Chu's behavior, Xun Wenruo felt helpless and could only hope that Xu Chu could hold on for a day and a half, waiting for him to take Nirvana and then come back to meet him.
That night Xun Wenruo left Jiyang with three thousand soldiers and horses overnight and headed towards Niyang, while Xu Chu led five thousand troops and camped five miles outside Jiyang city gate when Xun Wenruo left.
On the other side, after Wei Yan returned to the city, he ordered his people to pay close attention to the movements of Xun Wenruo's army, and at the same time transferred all the original thousand soldiers and horses of Jiyang and Nieyang to Niyang, while he took the remaining three thousand soldiers and horses.
He was stationed in Jiyang and ordered people to send Zang Ba's head to Pang Tong in Wancheng to explain Jiyang's situation to Pang Tong.
Not long after Xun Wenruo left, Wei Yan received information about Xun Wenruo's soldiers and horses, and immediately summoned three thousand soldiers and horses from Jiyang City to drive out of the city. Looking at Xu Chu's camp not far from the city gate, Wei Yan sneered at the people behind him
Everyone waved their hands.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"......
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"......
Not long after, the sound of gongs and drums mixed with the shouts of killing suddenly sounded, and it spread throughout the entire Xu Chu Camp. The entire Xu Chu Camp suddenly fell into chaos.
Xu Chu, who was resting, jumped up immediately when he heard the shouting of killing. He ran out of the tent before he could put on his armor and shouted to the soldiers on the side: "What's going on? Where did the shouting of killing come from?"
"My subordinates don't know either." The soldiers guarding outside the tent were also at a loss for words at this time. The shouts of killing resounded throughout the sky. He almost thought it was the army from the city coming to rob the camp.
"Then why don't you hurry up and find out?" Xu Chu shouted to the soldiers with great irritation.
"No." After hearing this, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief and ran away quickly.
Not long after, the soldiers ran back and said: "General Qi, the Wei Yan army in the city came to rob the camp. At this time, they were already outside the camp gate and were about to attack."
"What? This kid from Wei Yan really thinks that I am a soft persimmon. He immediately beat the drums and gathered his troops to follow me to defeat this Wei Yan." As he said this, Xu Chu picked up the long knife and was about to rush out of the camp gate, but was chased away after him.
The dozen or so young generals who came over firmly pulled him back.
"General, before leaving, the military advisor ordered not to leave the camp, and you agreed."
"Yes, Wei Yan wants the general to come out of camp to fight. The general must not be fooled."
………………………………………….
"Can't we just let Wei Yan come in?" Xu Chu looked angry.
"General, all you need to do is guard the camp, so Wei Yan doesn't dare to attack."
"Exactly, Wei Yan only has three thousand troops, but there are five thousand soldiers and horses in the camp. How dare Wei Yan attack the camp."
Seeing that all the more than ten young generals tried to dissuade him, Xu Chu had no choice but to return to the camp and sit down. At this time, everyone outside the tent breathed a sigh of relief. Xun Wenruo had given several of them death orders before leaving.
Xu Chu cannot be allowed to leave the camp.
…………………………………………..
Three thousand soldiers and horses were ready outside the camp. As soon as Xu Chu's army left the camp, they were ready to withdraw to the city. Unexpectedly, after a cry of killing, after waiting for a full quarter of an hour, there was no movement in the camp.
Wei Yan frowned and looked at the quiet camp not far away and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "You three, each with two hundred soldiers, go to the east, south and west sides of the camp and shout to kill every half an hour.
, If Xu Chu has not left the camp after two hours, then we will attack the camp together."
"Nuo." The four of them left with two hundred people each.
