The lights in the Jincheng Taishou Mansion were bright, Guan Yan took a glass of wine, walked down from the main seat with a smile on his face, and said to everyone who sat down: "If it weren't for the clever calculations of the two military advisors, Jincheng would not be so easy to break!" Come on, come on, we'll give a cup to the two military advisors! ”

It is the ideal of all literati to be able to use what they have learned. Now that Guan Yan accepts his plan and uses his strategy, Xi Zhicai and Chen Deng are very happy, and they also raise their wine glasses and salute everyone with a smile on their faces.

At this moment, a figure staggered into the main hall, and knelt down with a puff and wailed: "The last general has never intercepted Han Sui, please punish the lord!" ”

Guan Yan looked down and saw that this person had unkempt hair and a bloody face; The left hand held down the right arm, and blood spilled from the fingers and dripped down the arm to the ground. Although this person is in disarray, he can still see his appearance, isn't this Zang Ba who was ordered to intercept Han Sui?

Guan Yan was shocked when he looked at Zang Ba's appearance, hurriedly helped Zang Ba up, and asked eagerly, "How could Xuan Gao be like this?" Guan Yan grabbed Zang Ba's arm and touched the wound, Zang Ba snorted in pain, the blood between his fingers seemed to be gushing out, and Zang Ba's face turned a little paler.

Seeing this, Guan Yan hurriedly shouted: "Call the military doctor quickly!" ”

An old man hurriedly ran into the main hall with a medicine box, and Zang Ba was pulled aside by Guan Yan and sat down.

Everyone gathered around Zang Ba with a worried face, watching the old military doctor slowly cut the armor on Zang Ba's arm.

When they saw the shocking wound on Zang Ba's arm, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Xi Zhicai frowned and asked: "Han Sui escaped in a hurry, and his entourage was no more than a hundred, and his generals were also mediocre, and they were not Xuangao's opponents. Xuan Gao has encountered something unexpected? ”

Zang Ba sat back with a painful face, and said in a deep voice: "The military advisor is not bad, a certain ambush in the name of the military advisor and the Huangshui River. Unexpectedly, Han Sui had not arrived, but a group of men and horses rushed from the northwest, and the last general was injured by the blow of the leader. ”

Wounded by one hit? Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this: Zang Ba's martial arts are obvious to everyone, and he is one of the best in Guan Yan's army, but he was seriously injured by one blow?

"Who's the leader?" Chen Deng's face sank and asked softly.

Hearing Chen Deng's inquiry, Zang Ba's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "That person is about thirteen or fourteen years old......

Before Zang Ba could finish speaking, a roar sounded next to him.

"What?" Zhou Cang mung bean glared: "Zang Ba, my old Zhou always thought you were a man, but now you can't even beat a doll?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Zang Ba was ashamed and indignant, and he was speechless for a while, and he wanted to kneel down and ask Guan Yan for his guilt: "It's Zang Ba's incompetence, please punish the lord!" ”

Guan Yan hurriedly pressed Zang Ba, otherwise he would move around, and stared at Zhou Cang and scolded: "Rammer, don't talk too much, listen to Xuan Gao!" ”

Zhou Cang was scolded like this, muttered a few words and said no more.

Guan Yan frowned and looked at Zang Ba and asked, "That person can leave his name?" ”

Zang Ba thought for a while and replied: "That young general called Han Sui as his uncle, and when the last general retreated, the young general left his name and said that it was 'Ma Chao'!" ”

"Jin Ma Chao!?" Guan Yan stared at his eyes and shouted.

Ma Chao also came out? Guan Yan thought anxiously in his heart: Several familiar Shu Han generals have basically appeared, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have already followed Liu Bei, and their hostility towards him is not small; Although Zhao Yun was not hostile, he disliked himself and was unwilling to follow; Now Ma Chao also appeared, and as soon as he appeared, he almost stabbed his subordinate generals to death. Ay! What is this called?

Guan Yan frowned and paced back and forth. The surrounding people looked at Guan Yan with a puzzled expression, not knowing why Guan Yan reacted so much when he heard Ma Chao's name.

Ji Ling watched Guan Yan's reaction like this, and his heart was dissatisfied. He stepped forward and said loudly, "Why is the lord so anxious? Don't worry, the next time you see the little general Ma Chao, the last general will capture him and avenge General Zang! ”

"That's right! Right! Zhou Cang was the first to shout: "Capture him!" ”

Even Chen Deng and Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement.

Guan Yan watched everyone's reactions, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: Capture Ma Chao? In terms of personal force, Ma Chao and Zhang Sanye fought for a day and a night without a victory; In terms of commanders, Cao Cao, the cattle man killed by Ma Chao, all 'cut his beard and robe' to escape. Hey, it's hard!

But these things can only be known by Guan Yan from later generations, how can he explain them to these people under him? Guan Yan pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "Ma Chao was famous for his bravery and Xiliang when he was young, and now he can defeat and injure Zang Ba, he must not be an idle person, and the princes should not underestimate the enemy!" ”

Everyone nodded yes, but there was obvious disdain in Ji Ling and Zhou Cang's eyes.

In this regard, Guan Yan could only sigh and stop speaking.

Xi Zhicai stepped forward and arched his hand and said: "Princes, although the thief chief Han Sui ran, our army captured Jincheng, beheaded 4,000 thieves, and captured 8,000 people, which is really a big victory!" The Lord should quickly present himself to the Holy Lord, so as to enjoy the Sacred Heart! ”

"Hmm!" Guan Yan nodded: "What the military advisor said is very true, please ask the military advisor to write and give the Holy Lord, we will be stationed in Jincheng first, recuperate, and wait for the holy order!" ”

Three days later, in the Deyang Hall of Chang'an.

"Hahaha~~" Emperor Ling finished reading an eight-hundred-mile emergency report in his hand, laughed loudly, and his sickly face flashed a touch of ruddy.

"Guan Wende is really a general! After only 20 days of expedition, he broke the enemy in Jincheng, beheaded 4,000 and captured 8,000, and the thief leader Han fled in a hurry. ”

Emperor Ling nodded again and again, looked at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong beside him, and then said, "The person recommended by my father and mother is really not bad. ”

The two big eunuchs suddenly smiled and nodded again and again.

Emperor Ling looked at He Jin, who was drooping his head again, and said with a smile: "Such a talent is actually a soldier in the Uncle Mansion, Cao Peng, Qu Cai, Qu Cai!" ”

As soon as He Jin came out of the ranks, he arched his hand and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch, which is beyond the reach of the ministers!" A sycophant, crackling, Emperor Ling listened to it, and nodded and laughed with his beard. He Jin also smiled with satisfaction and retreated into the list of ministers.

Above the court, there was only one person, but at this time he was extremely depressed, and the beard under his chin trembled slightly with the twitching corners of his mouth. This person is the Tai Lieutenant who opposed Guan Yan's expedition at the beginning - Yuan Kui.

Yuan Kui walked out of the ranks, raised his hands high, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although there is a small victory in Jincheng, there are also 100,000 anti-thieves in the northwest, and the top priority is to strike preemptively to exterminate the remnants of the anti-thieves in the northwest, so as to prevent trouble!" ”

Yuan Kui is diverting the attention of Emperor Ling, if Emperor Ling is allowed to talk about Guan Yan's goodness again, I am afraid that Guan Yan will be added to the rank of knight again, and it will be even more unfavorable to him at that time.

Sure enough, as soon as Emperor Ling heard Yuan Kui's words, his stretched brows tightened again: "Aiqing has a plan?" ”

"At this time in Liangzhou, Geng Contempt is known to be talented, and the Northwest Rebellion is within his part, Your Majesty can make Geng Contempt the commander, command the soldiers and horses of the six counties, and control the people and horses, and fight the rebellion!" Yuan Kui had already thought about these words, and he spoke them extremely smoothly.

When He Jin heard this, he looked at Yuan Kui's old face, and was dissatisfied: Guan Yan is my cronies who have been planted outside, and the 30,000 horses in my hands will be of great use in the future! If you say this casually, it is equivalent to relieving Guan Yan's military power, so isn't my arrangement in vain?

Thinking of this, He Jin also bowed his hand and said: "The minister thinks otherwise!" ”

---- come and come, this week to run naked, relying on the support of the big guys! -----
