Chapter 35: Turning the Tide (2)

After saying goodbye to Xun Yu for the time being, Xu Chu rode away with Xun Yu's handbook.

He no longer has illusions about the Taishou Mansion, among these people there may be Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan and other capable officials, but he can't stand the Taishou Yin cultivation is too mediocre, Guo Tu and others only know how to welcome.

Why did Guo Tu hate him, Xu Chu could probably guess that it was nothing more than that he killed Han Zongping and broke Guo Tu's financial route in Yanling County.

You are unkind and unjust, but now Xu Chu hopes that He Yi will sneak attack Yang Zhai with the main force, and it is best to turn the county administration upside down, and he can take the opportunity to reap more benefits.

……

……

Guo Jia lives alone, and the place where he lives is somewhat remote. I wanted to go out to find a friend, but Zhang Ying just arrived and blocked the door.

The two have had a few encounters, and Guo Jia invited Zhang Ying into his home. Guo Jia didn't have a servant, so he warmed the wine himself and invited Zhang Ying to take a seat. His slow and methodical appearance made Zhang Ying feel that Xu Chu was looking for Guo Jia, and Guo Jia was also waiting for Xu Chu.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't speak, and after an hour, the main lord finally arrived.

handed Xun Yu's handwritten letter to Guo Jia for a look, and Xu Chu immediately bowed down. It is not possible not to take some fierce medicine, Liu Bei is begging Zhuge Liang to go out of the mountain and looking at the thatched house, and he is begging Guo Jia to go out of the mountain, and he can't help but be a virtuous corporal. The literati may not all eat this set, but this one does work.

Guo Jia read Xun Yu's handwriting and sighed secretly. Xun Yu said: You were born in the Han clan, and the concept of the world's family is deep-rooted, and it is difficult to get ahead; In the past, you lived in a simple house and did not want to be an official, wasn't it precisely because those in power only looked at their family background and did not look at their talents? Although Xu Chu is now in a low position and light in power, your investment at this time is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, and it is also a wise move.

After putting away the letter, Guo Jia looked up, but saw Xu Chubai falling to the ground, his butt pouting......

Guo Jia is not a person who is twisted, Xun Yu's letter pierced his unwillingness, and Xu Chu's actions at least made him feel that he would not trust anyone...... In an instant, his mind was decided, Guo Jia helped Xu Chu up, and bowed back: "Jia Bucai, you value it, and you are willing to drive it." ”

That's it? Xu Chu couldn't believe it, and the impassioned statement he had thought of on the road was useless. After the consternation, there was ecstasy, Zhang Ying saw Xu Chu's extremely happy appearance, and said in her heart Guo Jia's reputation is not obvious, is it worth making people excited?

When Xu Chu arrived at the place where Gongsu was stationed, it was already night. As soon as I arrived, I learned a piece of news - He Yi really came to attack Yang Zhai.

Gong Su said that the Malay newspaper was densely packed with He Yi's department, and it was like locusts crossing the border from afar, and its crowd was not below 10,000.

"How far is it from Yang Zhai?"

"Twenty miles."

Xu Chu slightly estimated that from the perspective of time, He Yi came so quickly, and he should have made the decision to attack Yang Zhai immediately after getting the news of He Guang's vanguard's defeat.

"It's as fast as the wind, and the Yellow Turban's move is also in line with what the soldiers say. It's just that no matter how it is used, it can't change its rogue nature. Guo Jia said with a smile, looking calm.

What is the essence of the Rogue Kou, the displacement, the Kolo all over the place. There is no constant industry, there is no perseverance, the day is not safe, the trembling is trembling, what is nothing more than a momentary bravery, and the battle is only a large number of people. Even if the outer city of Yangzhai falls, the walls and ditches of the inner city cannot be attacked no matter what. Once blocked, it will appear outside Yanling County. So what Guo Jia meant, don't worry, let them fight first, and there will be no big incident.

Xu Chu nodded slightly when he heard this, they are now thirty miles behind the left rear of He Yi's troops, this distance is just enough for the soldiers to sleep well and leave tomorrow morning. As for whether or not to contact He Yi immediately, it depends on how far the war goes.

It was night, the camp was silent, and the soldiers had fallen asleep. The sergeant in charge of the guard patrol was the first to see a strange red light in the distance to the west.

"The outer city of Yangzhai has been breached by He Yi." Outside Guo Jiali's tent, the cool breeze wrinkled his robe.

Xu Chu thoughtfully took a cloak and handed it to Guo Jia, saying, "It's much faster than expected." "The only explanation for this situation is that Xun Yu gave up the outer city.

And in Yangzhai City, Yin Xiu, who was awakened by the sound of shouting in the middle of the night, even forgot to put on his shoes and hurriedly ran to the city wall.

The flames are blazing!

There were cries and shouts everywhere, and the Yellow Turban thieves burned, killed and looted, turning the outer city of Yangzhai into a hell on earth. Yin Xiu was so frightened that he even forgot that he was still too guarded, and turned around and left with the guards.

As soon as he got off the city, he met Guo Tu, Guo Tu saw that Yin Xiu was embarrassed, and thought that Yang Zhai couldn't hold it, so he took the initiative to suggest that Yin Xiu take the troops to break through from the west of the city, of course, he must take him Guo Tu.

Yin Xiu has no owner of the six souls, and was about to be moved by Guo Tu's words, and the officials led by Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan also arrived. Xun Yu saw Yin Xiu's dejected appearance, and stepped forward to grab his hand, "Fujun, the outer city has been lost, and the thieves are busy looting, so they will not attack the inner city for the time being." At this time, we must strengthen the heart of the army, and ask the prince to order, from this moment on, if anyone says to retreat, immediately beheaded! ”

The rest of the officials also seconded the proposal and asked Yin Xiu for his life in unison. Guo Tu saw that the wind made the rudder, and he also mixed in the middle of the speech. Only then did Yin Xiu stabilize his mind and put away the idea of abandoning the city and fleeing for his life.

The massacre of He Yi's subordinates lasted all night, and if it weren't for the fact that the people under his command were difficult to control, He Yi would definitely launch an attack on the inner city as soon as he broke through the outer city.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." In the firelight, He Yi's face was full of regret, he used the military order to wantonly rob and kill to boost morale, but now he missed the opportunity, and could only watch the inner city wall complete the defense.

By dawn, the fire had subsided, and after a night of looting, the Yellow Turban thieves were still excited. He Yi then ordered to use local materials to make siege equipment such as ladders, and he must capture the inner city, otherwise as soon as reinforcements from the official army arrived, he would have no danger to defend, and the situation would be difficult to say.

"Report to Qu Shuai, there is an officer army twenty miles away from the rear!"

What the!? He Yi exclaimed: "Whose banner is it?" How many people? ”

The subordinate replied: "I don't know which family it is, but the number is not much, only about four or five hundred." ”

He Yi was puzzled, and then sneered: "There are only hundreds of people, what a way." So he ignored it, but ordered a thousand men to prepare outside the city.

Hundreds of enemies and 10,000 enemies, according to common sense, it is really not worth mentioning, it is no different from sending them to death.

But He Yi didn't know that there was a guy named Xu Chu among the hundreds of people, who was one of the few brave generals in this era, and although it was discounted, it was still difficult for them to deal with.

In addition to Xu Chu, there is also Guo Jia, Guo Jia is real.

When Xu Chu led his men and horses to see He Yi's move of dividing his troops to garrison the rear, he was only less than five miles away from the outer city of Yangzhai.

Sniffing the smell of fireworks wafting in the air, Xu Chu turned his head to look at Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, how to fight?" ”

His expression was very strange, not as dignified as before the battle, not nervous, the corners of his mouth seemed to be curled, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes. If you have to describe it, it's like the expression when you play a game with a plug-in, which is very appropriate.

Guo Jia coughed lightly twice, and said modestly: "Lord, the battlefield is against the enemy, you can decide for yourself." ”

Xu Chu's head shook like a rattle, "No, Feng Xiao said how to fight, I will fight." ”
