Chapter 242: The Battle for Jizhou (7)
Xu Huang said: "Jizhou is Jizhou under my rule, how can others be allowed to occupy it wantonly?" I'll give you three days to withdraw from Jizhou, if you are obsessed, discipline you and have no return! ”
Guan Yu is very embarrassed, if it is a battle now, the chance of victory is very slim, if it retreats, the face can not be hung up, so the two armies are confronted like this, after dark, Guan Yujun did not retreat, but set up camp, Xu Huangjun is not hypocritical, just set up camp ten miles opposite Guan Yujun.

Since Xu Huang promised three days, he would definitely not start a war with Guan Yu within three days, so Guan Yu was here. According to Guan Yu's estimate, if he wanted to deal with Xu Huang's 4,000 elite cavalry, he would need at least 10,000 soldiers and horses, so he secretly sent people back to the plains to ask for 8,000 reinforcements.
There are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the plain country, excluding the 10,000 soldiers and horses taken away by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and the soldiers and horses who undertake the defense of each county, Liu Bei has less than 20,000 soldiers and horses available in his hands, Zhang Fei has lost more than 2,000, and now he is asking for 8,000 reinforcements, Guan Yu also wants 8,000, if reinforcements are sent, Liu Bei will only have a small number of personal soldiers under his command, this is a situation that must not appear, Liu Bei is miserable and can't sleep at night.
Like Liu Bei, there are also Zhang Ning, Guo Daxian, Yu Yigen and others.
Although the envoy conveyed Jiang Sheng's words to Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning was still uneasy, according to her current situation, maybe she would be removed from the world after dawn, Zhang Fei's reinforcements did not know how many, but the strength of Yuan Shao and Guo Daxian was enough for Zhang Ning to be uncomfortable.
Guo Daxian couldn't sleep because he was excited, with his strength, it was not a problem to eat Yan Liang and Zhang Ningbu, and as for Zhang Fei from the Plains Country, it was not worth mentioning. Guo Daxian is planning how to occupy Bohai County.
When it was almost the middle of the night, Guo Daxian yawned and was about to change his clothes and go to bed, when suddenly the lights flashed, Guo Daxian turned his head to look at it, and he didn't care, and then took off his armor and lay down on the couch.
It was already the dead of night, Guo Daxian was about to fall asleep in a daze, and suddenly heard an "ah" outside the tent, he was immediately alert, pulled out a short knife from the pillow, and shouted: "Who is it?" ”
There was no response outside the tent, Guo Daxian realized that something was wrong, it stands to reason that the guards were guarding outside the tent day and night, and they should have reacted, but it was surprisingly quiet at the moment.
Guo Daxian fumbled and put on his coat, and then quietly walked towards the tent door with a knife, he listened to the movement outside the tent, except for the slight wind, there was nothing abnormal, but the surprisingly quiet made him sweat on his forehead.
He was bold and lifted the curtain of the tent door, and a short dagger reached out of the curtain, and the dagger was against Guo Daxian's throat, and Guo Daxian had to retreat into the tent.
The man from outside followed, dressed in a night coat and hood, with only two eyes exposed, and must have been an assassin! Looking at the appearance of the eyes, it should be a woman, followed by a person who also came in, looking at the back, it was also a woman, but this person was facing outward.
Guo Daxian said in a trembling voice: "You-what are you going to do?" ”
"I want your life!" The assassin snorted.
"Aren't you afraid of death? This is my Guo Daxian's territory, as long as I shout, you won't be able to escape. ”
"Humph! Since we can come in, do you think anyone will hear you shouting? "The assassin had a conversation with Guo Daxian to confirm his identity, and now that it was clear, he was murderous.
Guo Daxian tried to dodge, but the assassin's dagger also moved quickly, never leaving Guo Daxian's throat, Guo Daxian raised his head and quickly retreated, and defended with the short sword in his hand, the assassin was faster, the short dagger directly slashed Guo Daxian's neck, and blood spurted out of his throat.
The assassin slashed off Guo Daxian's head with a dagger, wrapped it in a package, and then searched carefully in the tent to find Guo Daxian's seal token, and then walked away with another assassin with Guo Daxian's head and seal token, but Guo Daxian did not notice anything unusual in the barracks.
The same scene was played out in the tents of the camp of Digen and Baihuan, without the knowledge of the Montenegrin coalition forces.
The sky is getting colder, Zhang Ning's eyes are dark, but his eyeballs are bloodshot, and this teenage yellow scarf leader is really not easy.
"Holy Lord! Two women asked to see them! ”
"Woman?" Zhang Ning was puzzled, when he saw three women in black walking in.
"You guys? How did you get in? ”
"The situation is urgent, and I ask Leader Zhang to forgive me!" The woman at the head arched her hand.
At this time, there was a noise outside, and three women in black retreated with swords against the necks of Zhang Ning's guards, followed by dozens of female guards in yellow scarves.
"You guys are not good!" Zhang Ning said angrily.
"Below, it's Qin Juan, the captain of the Yue Women's Battalion under General Jiang Sheng!"
"General Jiang Sheng? What are you here for? Zhang Ning was a little excited in her heart, it seemed that Jiang Sheng had helped her solve the problem.
Qin Juan and the other two threw the package in their hands on the ground, and blood was still flowing out.
"Leader Zhang, this is Guo Daxian, Yu Yigen, Bai Huan's head and seal ribbon token, please collect it, the Montenegrin coalition army has no leader, please go and dispose of it quickly, and say goodbye!" Qin Juan was clean and neat, and left after speaking.
Zhang Ning was about to send him off, but Qin Juan said, "Leader, please stay!" Please don't forget the promise you made to our Lord! ”
Zhang Ning was secretly frightened, the same woman, Jiang Sheng's command actually had such a good hand, you must know that the Montenegrin coalition army that came this time is only these three leaders, and the guards are extremely tight, these assassins can kill these three people overnight, and they can retreat with their whole body, if they come to deal with Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning doesn't know if he can still live.
Now that the biggest threat to Zhang Ning has been lifted, he can only follow Jiang Sheng's intention to enter Guangchuan, if he doesn't go to Guangchuan, there is really no way out.
Zhang Ning said: "The order will go down, and the whole army will bring enough five-day rations and soft things, and immediately march west to Guangchuan!" ”
He said, "Holy Lord, do you want to abandon the county?" ”
"That's right! Xiuxian County is facing attacks from both sides in the north and south, and it is useless to stay here, but with Guangchuan, everything is not a problem. ”
"Does the Holy Lord really want to act according to Jiang Sheng's arrangement?"
"Or else?"
"Then how should we deal with our relationship with Jiang Sheng in the future?"
When Zhang Ning heard this, he stopped what he was doing and became silent. Yes, Jiang Sheng helped himself so much, if the Jizhou Yellow Turban continued to rebel in the future, wouldn't it be unkind and unjust? But now, if you don't do this, the Jizhou Yellow Turban will really be over.
"Miss, the entrustment of the white riding brothers, you should think about it." Su Gu said by Zhang Ning's previous name.
Zhang Ning was shocked, when he escorted himself to escape from Jizhou, he experienced a lot of hardships and hardships, and after a few years, if he had obeyed Zhang Baiqi's arrangement, he would not have had all these years of pain, and after such a big circle, he would eventually have to return to the original point.
Seeing Zhang Ning's expression, it was inconvenient for him to say more, so he went to command the troops to pull out the camp.
