"Xiao'er, if you want to take Lao Tzu's life, you are still tender!!" Xiahou Yuan roared loudly, and slashed with a knife. But seeing that the spear was like a flying bead and the knife was like a gale, the two weapons suddenly collided together, and after the sparks were fired, the two weapons were separated in an instant, and the two of them even retreated together with men and horses. The soldiers of the two armies were dumbfounded, and for a moment they forgot whether they cheered or screamed.

"This Zhang family is by no means simple, he deserves the name of the Gun King of the North, if you want to defeat this person, it seems that you still have to rely on archery skills!" Xiahou Yuan's brain was spinning, what he was best at was not the Xiahou family's gale knife technique, but another set of peerless archery techniques related to archery art - Zhuqian Three Absolute Arrows!

As soon as the thought passed, Xiahou Yuan immediately made a decision, and suddenly turned around and left. Zhang Xiu was about to fight to the death with him, but suddenly saw Xiahou Yuan fleeing, and he was so insulted by him yesterday, how could he let it go, so he immediately scolded and chased after him.

"Xiahou dog thief, don't run away!!" Zhang Xiu shouted angrily. At this moment, the horn of the rear of the army suddenly sounded. Zhang Xiu had the upper hand, how could he have guessed that Jia Xu would order the withdrawal of troops at such a time, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Child, look at the knife!!" Suddenly, a angry shout came. Zhang Xiuding saw that Xiahou Yuan didn't even need a weapon and flew over. Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, standing up with a spear, flying a big knife and swinging away, and then shook his spirit, thinking that Xiahou Yuan had no weapons, and this time it would be a sure victory.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiu only felt a pang in his heart, only to see that all the beasts of the Qianshen Divine Beast rose to the sky, becoming stronger and stronger, but also more and more clear, faintly like listening to the sound of a leopard's song, and at the same time made a move to pull the bow.

"Not good!!" An ominous premonition paused in my heart. As soon as Zhang Xiu's thoughts arose, he only heard a loud bowstring sound, and saw three arrows side by side, as fast as meteors, shooting at the same time. Between the lightning and flint, Zhang Xiu didn't dare to dodge, seeing that the arrow was shooting, he hurriedly twisted the gun and stabbed it, but unfortunately even if Zhang Xiu's gun speed was amazingly fast, he still only stabbed two arrows, and the last one was shot on Zhang Xiu's shoulder.

Xiahou Yuan's strength was amazing, this arrow shot into the bone, and Zhang Xiu drank in pain, but fortunately he still held back, pulled out the horse and fled. Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Zhang Xiu shooting, and hurriedly galloped after him, repeatedly firing several arrows, but Zhang Xiu magically flashed, and when he wanted to shoot again, Zhang Xiu was already far away, and his soldiers also rushed to the scene.

"Hahahaha~~!! Zhang family children, with your indiscriminate martial arts, you dare to be called the king of guns, I see that there are no heroes in the north!! Xiahou Yuan was unforgiving, rode his horse and chased after him, laughing and laughing.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, his stomach was full of anger and resentment, and his pale face immediately turned red.

At this time, the horn of Mingjin's troops sounded even more urgently, and most of the army had retreated. Zhang Xiu also understood that this was not the time to be reckless, so he shouted angrily: "Xiahou dog thief, don't be complacent, the master will come to you one day and be ashamed!" ”

"Hehe, waiting for you." Xiahou Yuan was disdainful, but in fact, he was secretly amazed at Zhang Xiu's power, because he understood that if he met Zhang Xiu in his heyday, the outcome of today's battle might still be unknown.

On the other side, Zhang Xiu didn't say much, so he turned around and left.

said that after Zhang Xiu returned to the camp, Jia Xu had already sent a marching doctor to treat his injuries. Zhang Xiu changed color slightly, and when asked about Jia Xu, everyone showed a little resentment, saying that Jia Xu went to investigate the enemy's situation, and they all felt that their father-in-law was injured, and Jia Xu, who didn't come to see it at a glance, was very ruthless.

Zhang Xiu understood that Jia Xu was worried about his face and didn't want to debunk it, so he shook his head and sighed lightly.

When he was young, in a camp tent, Zhang Xiugang dragged down his battle robe, and the marching doctor who was waiting behind couldn't help but exclaim, "Lord, what's wrong with your back!?" ”

But I saw that there was an arrow sore on Zhang Xiu's back, and the flesh inside had begun to rot, and it was black and bleeding pus, which was very terrible.

"This is when Xuchang City was seized more than that day, I fell into the plan of Cao thief and was injured by a stray arrow. But because Xuchang is very important to our army, I am afraid that this matter will be known by the military advisor, and he will have some concerns. How do you know that he has already found out that today he first sent people to fight first, and then Mingjin collected his troops, I am afraid that he saw that the injured me was not the opponent of the Xiahou dog thief.

But I was too arrogant, I thought that Xiahou Yuan was about to be defeated, and I refused to retreat, so that I ended up like this, all of which was self-inflicted. Zhang Xiu said lightly, and then closed his eyes. The marching doctor didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked Zhang Xiu to treat the wounds on his back first, and then apply the medicine one by one.

On the other side, in Xuchang City. Xiahou Yuan sat in the upper hall, and praised Xi Zhicai again and again, and after listening to it, he realized that Xi Zhicai deliberately let Xiahou Yuan fight alone, that is, he guessed that Zhang Xiu, who was arrogant, would not want to bully more and less, and then insulted him, who hated Xiahou Yuan, and he would definitely come to fight.

Although it is also a radical method, it is difficult to prevent it because of the different methods used, and when it is discovered, I am afraid it will be too late.

After Xi Zhicai told everyone the truth, everyone had a feeling, and the two of them, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin, were talented, and they quickly understood the profundity. It means that it is the same strategy, but with the different means used, it can often have unexpected effects, even if the enemy is already prepared, but unknowingly fall into the trap you have set, and when you want to escape, it is already too late.

After a while, everyone stood up respectfully and thanked Xi Zhicai, all of whom looked like they were humbly appreciating.

"Hehe, you guys are too much to think of drama, these truths are actually very simple. When the two armies are playing against each other, those who can calm and think calmly and cautiously can often grasp the direction of the battlefield, so that even if they turn the tide and turn defeat into victory, it is not impossible. Xi Zhicai smiled faintly and said something again, and when everyone heard this, they all sank again, thinking about the profundity.

At this time, someone suddenly came, walked quickly to Xi Zhicai's side, and said a few words. After hearing this, Xi Zhicai's face couldn't help but sink, and he said, "That's true." ”

"Strategist, what's wrong? Seeing that you don't look good, could it be that what's going on in the city? Seeing that Xi Zhicai's expression was not good, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help frowning, and asked in a condensed voice.

"It seems that this Jia Wenhe really can't be underestimated. Just now, when the two armies were fighting, he sent men to the other three gates, tied all the secret books to the arrows, and looked for some soldiers of astonishing strength, and shot the arrows into the city, many of which were picked up by the people. Later, the soldiers of our army also found the small paper on the arrow, and found that it was written on the paper that Dong Zhuo would soon lead hundreds of thousands of troops to return to the Central Plains with the Son of Heaven, and threatened that the lord was Dong Zhuo's mortal enemy, and those who dared to take refuge would not only raid the house, but also exterminate the clan!! Now there is a panic in the city, because it is the major families in Xuchang, and I heard that Zhang Xiu's so-called raiding the family and destroying the clan is undoubtedly aimed at them, and now the heads of the major families have secretly contacted and are discussing how to deal with it! As soon as Xi Zhicai said this, everyone changed color. Xiahou Yuan was even more shocked and angry, and said in a loud voice: "Dong Jackal Tiger has been like a toothless beast since he lost Lu Bu, he has been hiding in Sanfu and didn't dare to come out lightly, how could he suddenly lead his troops to kill!?" He is not afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past and being defeated by the heroes of the world!? ”

Not necessarily. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's something that makes people believe it. After all, this is not what it used to be, in recent years, the princes of various places have fought against each other, and the princes of all walks of life, such as Han Fu, Liu Dai (Ma Zongheng announced that Liu Dai is dead), Kong Ling, Bao Xin, Qiao Mao and others have died. The rest of the princes have also invaded each other, and the hatred has accumulated deeply, even if Dong Jackal Tiger makes a comeback, the princes of the world may not be able to let go of their hatred and form an alliance.

Moreover, the Central Plains is now in chaos. Dong Jackal Tiger has been in Sanfu Taoguang in recent years, but if he sends troops back to the Central Plains, even if there is no Lu Bu, the elite of the Liang soldiers in the west will probably be unstoppable. Therefore, if Dong Zhuo really wants to send troops, now is the best time. Jia Xu is interested in this, will hype up, make the people in the city panic, those who have always put the interests of the family first, in order to save the family business, there will be many people to betray, in this way, our army, which is not much in force, once the city is in turmoil, how can we resist Zhang Xiu's 20,000 army!? Xi Zhicai spoke sharply, and quickly analyzed the benefits and disadvantages with everyone.

Xiahou Yuan's face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the current situation of the military master!?" ”

"Don't mess up the battle first, and ask General Le to immediately select the elite under his command as a fine work, lurking around the city, once you find out that someone is rebelling, then kill the chickens and make an example, I want to see, these people from the family, are they afraid of the threat of Jia Xu, or are they afraid of the sharp blade that is about to be put on the neck!!" Xi Zhicai's eyes suddenly shot a fierce look, but it was a trick, and it was extremely terrifying.

Le Jin listened to the order, quickly stood up, and after giving up his hand, he hesitated for a while, but still frowned and said: "But if this is the case, I am afraid that I will have to kill a lot of people, in this way, even if I can stabilize it for a while, with the passage of time, the deeper the resentment, I am afraid that the entire family of Xuchang City will rebel together and fight for a jade stone." And this is probably also damaging to the prestige of the lord, but if this matter comes out, who will dare to take refuge in the rest of the families in the cities and counties in the future? ”

As soon as Le Jin's words came out, Xiahou Yuan and Yigan Wenwu both felt worried, and they all sank down.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "Those who achieve great things are not informal." You don't have to worry too much, there are already countermeasures for this matter. ”

"Is it true!?" Xiahou Yuan knew that he had always had a lot of plans, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and asked anxiously.

"When have I ever deceived you, General? What's more, with the skills of the lord, Liu Pi and Gong Du will be solved within half a month, and then lead the troops back to help. General Xiahou should not forget that there is a divine marching army under the command of the lord, all of which are formed by elites. If it was a divine march, it would not take three days to rush from Chen Liu to Xuchang, and the crisis would naturally be resolved at that time. Now three days have passed, which means that as long as I wait to hold Xuchang for half a month, I can ensure that Xuchang is not lost! Xi Zhicai said that everyone was overjoyed and excited, as if in the endless darkness of despair, they suddenly saw the dawn of hope and dispelled the darkness in an instant.

At the same time, on a hill not far away, you can just look at Xuchang City. At this time, it was dusk, and Jia Xu had been watching this mountain for a long time, and the slanting sun shone on his cold face, which seemed to be a little cooler.
