Chapter 4 Forty-Eight, the Way of Troubled Times
"Ladies and gentlemen, can you listen to the next sentence?"
Facing the soldiers and horses of the southeast night front gathered around Chang Ao's corpse, Guo Jia said calmly.
At this time, Xu Chu and Dian Wei had already stood up, but the faces of the two of them were not very good-looking. Relying on the enemy's strength to save his life is more uncomfortable for a warrior than death.
But Guo Jia is now so unprecautionary to show up, out of the righteousness of his colleagues, the two of them have to awkwardly guard in front.
The people of the southeast night front were all angry now, and they wanted to fight them immediately.
As if he hadn't seen it, Guo Jia turned over and dismounted, and walked straight towards Chang Ao's corpse.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by Guo Jia with their eyes.
At this time, whoever it was, could easily put him to death, but no one did anything, because several of the subordinates saw that the young man had something to say.
"Boom!"
To the surprise of everyone present, Guo Jia actually knelt on one knee and bowed his hand to Chang Ao, who died but stubbornly refused to fall.
"Bastard! Pi Shuai is also worthy of you to kneel and worship! "A sub-system wants to step forward, which is not good for Guo Jia.
Seeing this, Xu Chu and Dian Wei hurriedly rushed forward, preparing to protect him.
But Guo Jia didn't get up, he just turned his head and signaled Xu Chu and Dian Wei not to be impulsive.
That division was also stopped by his companions, no matter what, now that Guo Jia is showing respect, then, you can't do anything to him. Otherwise, if it spreads, the face of the Southeast General Hall will be lost.
"The person Jia respects at this moment is not an enemy, but a hero!"
One sentence made everyone in the southeast Yefeng stunned.
"This person's bravery, courage, and perseverance are unseen in Jia's life. Such a hero, how can Jia not worship! ”
This time, someone on Cao Cao's side began to frown, what does this Guo Jia mean? Cao Cao was just behind, and he actually ran to the front and respectfully bowed down to a dead man? And this man is still an enemy!
Including Cao Hong, many generals wanted to express their dissatisfaction, but seeing Cao Cao sitting on the horse with confidence, they didn't seem to care, and these people had to endure it for the time being.
Guo Jia doesn't care what people in his camp think. Because at this time, his words continued.
"Not long ago, when I first met Commander Chang, I knew that this man was a hero of the world, so I persuaded the tiger and leopard to withdraw. Jia is not afraid of the enemy, but respects the heroism of the commander. Now that Commander Chang has unfortunately returned to heaven, in fact, Jia's heart is ...... It doesn't hurt! ”
As he spoke, Guo Jia actually began to wipe the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. The cuffs fell and were really wet.
It was just two sentences, and all the people in the southeast Yefeng were infected. Many people also cried, and the scene immediately became very tragic.
"I know that you want to fight our army to the death at this time, and you can't hide it, and Kamoto also has this intention. But just now I saw what Commander Chang was doing, and suddenly knew what it meant, so I came alone, hoping to inform you of Commander Chang's dying wish. ”
All the people in the southeast night forward raised their spirits and listened attentively to Guo Jia's explanation.
"The reason why Commander Chang has stopped you from waiting for him several times is because he doesn't want to cause casualties. Therefore, with the strength of one person, we can compete with our two brave generals. This alone is a true hero! ”
Hearing Guo Jia say this, Xu Chu and Dian Wei's faces couldn't help but feel a little hot, Guo Jia's words were equivalent to saying the two of them too.
"Therefore, Jia hereby pleads with you that the Northern Hall has been destroyed, and your purpose has been achieved. If we continue to fight, it will be difficult for Jia to keep you safe. Why don't you stop the army just now, and you can be regarded as living up to the spirit of Chang's commander in the sky. ”
Several subordinates were also thoughtful when Guo Jia said this.
Yes, Cao Cao's army is now far superior to his own in terms of numbers, physical strength and equipment. If the picture is fast for a while, it will only be wiped out.
"Everyone!" Guo Jia spoke again, "My lord is there, Jia will ask on your behalf!" ”
Then, Guo Jia turned his head to look at Cao Cao, "Lord, can you promise Guo Jia that you will never kill these people." ”
In the distance, Cao Cao nodded, and all the people of the southeast night front saw it.
"Good! It's up to you. I only hope you can keep your word! The southeastern division said hatefully.
"Lord Jiahe will not break his word. General Dian and General Xu brought back the remnants of the north, and since everyone here has kept their promises, they will definitely not embarrass them. ”
Xu Chu and Dian Wei hurriedly penetrated through the road that the southeast night front had awayed, took out the four sages and the others, and brought them back to their camp.
Duan Xuan, who was injured, was directly carried by Xu Chu.
Guo Jia looked back, and said to the people in the southeast: "You are all here in a broken boat, and now the grain and grass must be exhausted." In this case, I will ask the lord to give you part of the baggage, which is not in vain. ”
The people in the southeast didn't expect this young man to be so righteous, and many people even showed admiration.
……
Guo Jia began to order grain and grass, and Cao Cao personally stepped forward to greet the four sages, and then personally arranged for the carriage to send the four sages away.
Everything seemed to be peaceful, but one person sneered despite his pain.
"Why are you laughing?" Xu Chu asked Duan Xuan behind him.
"No, it's just a sigh, none of the civil and military generals around the lord are sheep."
"Xu Chu is a rough man, you might as well say it if you have something to say."
"Guo Jia is so poisonous."
"What's that?"
"You don't understand. He took the initiative to bow down to Chang Ao in order to gain favor and make the people of the southeast accept him. Then, he made some words of admiration, very sincere and sad, but this was still a ploy, and it was deliberately pretended to be able to relax the enemy's fighting spirit. ”
Xu Chu's body trembled unconsciously, and of course Duan Xuan behind him could feel it.
"Actually, it's not poisonous. The real ferocity is the words that follow. ”
Xu Chu's steps began to be irregular, he didn't expect that the heart-wrenching words just now turned out to be all lies.
"Guo Jia did this to save us, if it weren't for that, those angry people from the Southeast General Hall would have already chopped us into pulp."
Duan Xuan's face was a little bad, but he still hoped to say more.
"In order to get the people of the Southeast Hall to agree, he actually cooperated with the lord to put on a good show."
Now Xu Chu has been completely blinded, which is much more complicated than fighting against people.
None of them lied, Guo Jia got the promise of the lord, and the lord nodded and agreed, it seemed that everything was a foregone conclusion. But the group of horsemen in the Southeast General Hall didn't understand, this promise was useless! ”
"Why?"
"Guo Jia is asking the lord, can you promise Guo Jia that you will never kill these people. But the only one who can't do it is the lord himself. ”
"Ahh Xu Chu was startled and almost threw Duan Xuan away.
He had fully understood by this time.
What Duan Xuan said was indeed the truth. Come to think of it, the reason why Guo Jia proposed to give away grain and grass is also because he is waiting for time. When the four sages are far away, on the battlefield, the generals will no longer have any worries.
Qin Zhen and Jia Kui were following Duan Xuan, Xu Chu and Duan Xuan at this time, and neither of them spoke.
Jia Kui could naturally guess Guo Jia's intentions, as for Qin Zhen...... Not to mention, the name of the young commander of the leech camp was not obtained for nothing.
……
Cao Cao and some of the men and horses also left with the carriage of the four sages, and at this time, on the battlefield, there was only the southeast Yefeng who was silently cleaning up Chang Ao's body, and several Cao army generals were counting the baggage.
Guo Jia calmly looked at the back of his camp, and when he saw that Cao Cao had already gone away, he nodded at Li Dian, Le Jin, Han Hao, and Shi Lian.
The four generals immediately understood, so Li Dian and Shi Jian began to secretly convey orders to their subordinates, while Le Jin and Han Hao pretended to help and led their teams to the vicinity of the Southeast Yefeng.
"From Sizhou to Yangzhou, the road is long, I don't know how you are going to supply?" Guo Jia asked.
Although the commanders of the southeast night front are sad, since they have already promised, they can only do enough to save face.
"Contact your own people along the way, and let's go while we raise money. Although I should not say this, I will pay back these burdens today and tomorrow. ”
"That's not necessary," Guo Jia smiled mysteriously, "There's a clever plan below to solve your supply difficulties." ”
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
In the southeast night front, which is beyond the general hall, if you don't mention the righteousness, it can be said that the feelings between the various night marshals are not deep.
There are even fewer people like Chang Ao who can convince everyone.
Although it was still sad, after all, it was still shouldering the heavy responsibility of bringing the remaining soldiers and horses back to Yangzhou, and several sub-commanders also temporarily suppressed their hatred. Besides, now Guo Jia is still thinking of a way for his own people, perhaps, this young man is very kind, but he mistakenly voted for Cao Cao.
Some of the subordinates have secretly calculated whether to persuade Guo Jia to surrender to Cheng.
"It's better to ...... Don't go back. ”
As soon as the words came out, several subordinates frowned at the same time.
"Your Excellency, please respect yourself, it is because of your respect for Pi Shuai that we accepted your suggestion to cease fighting. If you want us to take refuge in Cao Cao, it's too much to say. ”
"Hehe," Guo Jia smiled again, "you have misunderstood, I never thought of persuading you to join my lord." ”
"And what do you mean?"
"In the opinion of Egar...... You may wish to leave the head here. After Guo Jia finished speaking, he quickly left under the stunned gaze of several subordinates.
The next moment, those "heavy-duty" Cao Jun suddenly drew their blades and began to slaughter the nearest southeast night front beside them.
Several subordinates finally understood what Guo Jia meant, and a nameless anger instantly ignited in their hearts.
"Bastard!"
"Words are not believed!"
"Bastard Guo Jia!"
For these angry scoldings, Guo Jia didn't mind at all. He rode on horseback and watched as Li Dian and the other four generals commanded the troops and began to slash and slash the enemy from the periphery.
Due to the fact that they were caught off guard, and most of the people were sorting out the car accounts, although a few subordinates kept an eye on it and let some people guard it, the result was not too bad.
The encirclement network with the Qingzhou Army as the main force is not something that ordinary people can rush out.
Even if a detachment of centaurs, known for their fast running speed and agility in short distances, could successfully escape, it would not change their fate.
Because, waiting to fight in the outermost part is the strongest cavalry of the Cao army, the tiger and leopard cavalry.
