When Guo Jia led the last thousand remnants of the army to retreat to Ye County, he was finally caught up by Ma Yue's Xiliang army, and in desperation, Guo Jia had to order to retreat into Ye County.

Yexian County Ya.

Guo Jia struggled to sit up from the soft couch and said to the soldiers: "Wine, bring the wine!" ”

"Strategist, your body...... You can't drink. ”

The pro-soldiers were very embarrassed, and before they set out for the battle, the prime minister had specially instructed that the military advisor's body was emptied of excessive alcohol, and asked him to stop the military advisor from drinking no matter what.

A trace of anger flashed across Guo Jia's pale face, and he said in a low voice: "Wine! ”

The soldier said: "The prime minister said ......"

Guo Jia raised his head and stared coldly at his own soldiers.

The soldier swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach, and said gloomily: "The villain will go find some wine." ”

As soon as the soldiers left, Cao Zhen staggered into the lobby and said to Guo Jia: "Military division, the defense of the four gates has been arranged, but this son thinks that the Liang army is unlikely to attack the city at night, although the Liang army has won the chase for hundreds of miles, but they are also human after all, and they will be tired." ”

Guo Jia nodded and said to Cao Zhen: "Son, help me up." ”

Cao Zhen stepped forward, stretched out his hand and gently helped, Guo Jia sat up, this will be the personal soldier has found a pot of good wine, Guo Jia can't help but say that snatching the wine pot is a binge drinking, a whole pot of hot liquor under the stomach, Guo Jia's face soon became rosy, and the whole person became radiant.

If it were someone else, he would not have known that Guo Jia was already seriously ill and on the verge of death.

Guo Jia stood up, opened his arms and said to his own soldiers: "Change clothes for this military division!" ”

Cao Zhen looked at Guo Jia in disbelief, and asked in a loud voice, "Military Master, who are you?" ”

Guo Jia didn't answer, but only said to Cao Zhen: "Son, you can quickly send someone to the Liangjun camp outside the city, and say that the army division will meet the horse butcher outside the west city tomorrow morning!" ”

"What?" Cao Zhen lost his voice and said, "Strategist, this is too dangerous. ”

Guo Jia said: "If the son can trust Guo Jia, please send someone immediately." ”

Cao Zhen's eyes flashed with a hint of depth, arched his hand to Guo Jia, turned around and walked away.

……

Outside Yexian County, the Liang Army camp.

Ma Yue casually handed the book in his hand to Jia Xu, and said coldly: "Early tomorrow morning, Ghost Guo is going to meet with Gu outside Xicheng!" ”

Li Su said: "Lord, could this be Guo Jia's trickery?" ”

Ma Yue said: "Ziyan is too worried, this is just that Guo Guicai wanted to say a few words to Gu before he died, in fact, Gu also wanted to meet Guo Jia and say a few words to Ghost Cai, the so-called heroes cherish heroes, if it weren't for the difference in Taoism, Gu and Guo Jia should have become friends." ”

Jia Xu said: "But it's always right to be careful, the lord should still bring General Dian Wei in case of accidents!" ”

"Of course." There was an inexplicable cold light in Ma Yue's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "In addition to Dian Wei, Gu also has to bring the last sentence to go together." ”

Li Su lost his voice and said: "General Jutu? Lord, this is ......"

Ma Yue said coldly: "Guo Guicai is said to be immortal, and it is really difficult for Gu Xin to be at ease, if it is possible, Gu Hope will be able to shoot Guo Guicai on the spot." ”

Ma Yue understands very well that it is impossible for a character like Guo Jia to betray Cao Ying and take refuge in him, and this person is too dangerous, if he can get rid of Guo Jia today, Ma Yue will never let him live through tomorrow! Otherwise, it is irresponsible for one's own life and the life of the soldiers of the Liang Army.

……

The next time, the horns outside the west city of Yexian County sounded in unison, and the two armies were in a circle.

Guo Jia took Cao Zhen and another archer who was good at shooting, and Ma Yue took Dian Wei and Ju Tu out of the battle respectively.

The two sides moved forward opposite each other, and only when they could clearly see the shape of the opposite square did they hold their horses at the same time. I don't know if it's because of the spirits, or because of the return to the light before death, Guo Jia at this time is ruddy and radiant, and he can't see any sickness at all, and Ma Yue on the opposite side doesn't know that Guo Jia is already terminally ill and not far from death.

"Mr. Guo Jia!"

"I've seen Lianghou!"

On horseback, Ma Yue and Guo Jia clasped their fists at the same time.

"I don't want the world-famous ghost to be so young, and Mr.'s demeanor is enviable."

"Lianghou has a million armor, embraces Erqiao, swallows thousands of miles like a tiger, and sighs that men in the world should be like this."

"Mr. with the age of a weak crown, assisted Cao Ying in the east and west, although he was strategizing, he could win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, level the yellow scarf, take Yanyu, destroy Yuan Shu, and defeat Lu Bu, and there was a trend of Prime Minister Cao Cheng today."

"Thinking back to the days of Lianghou, with a mere 800 horses across the Central Plains, invincible, and thousands of weak horses to break Xianbei, pacify Mobei, and finally establish an immortal cause, it is admirable."

The two of them were like old friends, and they talked eloquently, although they tried their best to praise and compliment, but they did not show any pretentiousness, and their words showed sincerity and sincerity, and they did not hide their appreciation for each other. Although Guo Jia is the chief military advisor of Ma Yue's sworn enemy Cao Ying, it is because of different camps and different philosophies, and there is actually no personal grudge between individuals.

Ma Yue laughed and said: "Lonely Ping's life is full of hundreds of battles, few defeats, when Prime Minister Cao Cheng did not get Mr., he was also defeated by a lone hand several times, but since he got the help of Mr., Cao Apu is like a tiger with wings, unstoppable, Sanjiangkou, Bishui Pass, Lone almost broke the halberd and sank into the sand, this ~~ are all thanks to Mr. Ear! ”

Guo Jia said: "Only those who regret it, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, and Lianghou actually turned evil into good fortune and escaped death twice." ”

Ma Yuelang said: "Today, Cao A's defeat is imminent, Mr. is at the end of the road, and he cherishes Mr. to learn, why not descend early?" ”

Guo Jia said indifferently: "The prime minister is eloquent and strategic, and the hero of the world is also, and he is not subordinate to the order of the Son of Heaven, and the general trend of the world is also returned. ”

"Hahaha...... Ma Yuechang said with a smile, "what Mr. said is not unreasonable, it seems that it is more lonely than wishful thinking." ”

Taking advantage of the gap between speaking, Ma Yue pretended to turn back inadvertently, and whispered to Ju Tu: "Ju Tu, wait to see Gu Tu's gesture, if Gu raises his right hand, he will immediately shoot Guo Jia with an arrow, and if Gu Ruo raises his left hand, he should not act rashly." ”

Ju nodded abruptly.

Almost at the same time, Guo Jia also turned back to the sharpshooter behind him and said: "When we see the opportunity, if the division commander of this army laughs, I will shoot the horse butcher with arrows!" ”

Ma Yue smiled faintly and said to Guo Jia: "The so-called creation makes people a pity, then it can only be seen on the battlefield." ”

Guo Jia said: "That's how it should be. ”

Ma Yue hugged his fists and said: "Don't leave it here!" ”

Guo Jia replied: "I will not send it far away!" ”

Ma Yue suddenly raised his right hand and said with a long smile: "Mr. go all the way!" ”

Guo Jia also looked up to the sky and laughed: "Goodbye Lianghou, hahaha......"

Jutu and Cao Jun's marksman almost pulled their bows and arrows at the same time, the only difference was that Cao's sharpshooter only took three arrows, while Jutu put four arrows on the bowstring!

"Puff puff!"

In the terrible scream, the cold swept the sky, and the murderous aura was pervasive.

"Be careful!"

"Be careful, lord!"

Dian Wei and Cao Zhen discovered the danger at the same time, and waved the weapons in their hands like lightning, only to hear a few crisp sounds, the three wolf tooth arrows shot by Cao Jun's marksman were all blocked by Dian Wei's big iron halberd, and the four wolf tooth arrows shot out by the sentence burst, Cao Zhen only blocked three, and there was still one wolf tooth arrow through Guo Jia's right chest, bringing a piece of flesh and blood.

"Poof!"

Guo Jia opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his thin body staggered on the horse's back.

"Strategist!"

Cao Zhenxin was frightened, hurriedly escorted Guo Jia back to the city, Dian Wei, Ju suddenly rushed forward to rob Guo Jia, and was shot back by the Cao army at the head of the city, Jia Xu outside the city saw the opportunity not to be missed, and urgently urged the Xiliang army to come to attack the city, in an instant, the loud horn sound rushed into the sky, and the black pressure of the Liangzhou soldiers carried a cloud ladder like a tide swept in.

Because Guo Jia was hit by an arrow, life and death were unknown, Cao Zhen was in a hurry to rescue Guo Jia, the Cao army at the head of the city lost its command and suddenly the formation was in chaos, under the rapid offensive of the Liangzhou army wave after wave, the resistance of the Cao army was quickly collapsed, and in less than half an hour, Xu Chu led thirty dead soldiers to successfully break through to the low city head of Ye County.

Ye...... Lost!

"Quack quack...... Rumble! ”

The heavy city gate finally opened, and Ma Yue stood by the city gate, raising his arms and shouting: "Capture Guo Jia alive, capture Cao Zhen alive!" ”

"Capture Guo Jia alive, capture Cao Zhen alive!"

"Capture Guo Jia alive, capture Cao Zhen alive!"

"Capture Guo Jia alive, capture Cao Zhen alive!"

The Xiliang army, which had already crowded outside the city gate, responded with three calls, and then surged in like a flood of wolves, drowning the small Yecheng in the vast sea of Jin Ge Iron Horse in an instant.

"Report ~~ West Gate Breakthrough!"

"Report ~~ South Gate Breakthrough!"

"Report ~~ North Gate Breakthrough!"

"Report~~ The Cao army in the city has been cleared, and Cao Zhen and Guo Jia are only a few hundred remnants of the army to retreat to the county government!"

Fast Ma sent the good news to Ma Yue, Ma Yue turned around and smiled at Jia Xu, and said loudly: "Go, go to the county office, and send Guo Guicai for the last journey!" ”

……

Yecheng County Ya.

Cao Zhen's face was full of pain, he knelt down on one knee in front of Guo Jia, and sobbed: "Strategist, let's go together, it's too late if you don't leave, Cao Zhen begs you!" ”

"Childe!" Guo Jia stood up with a loud shout, the wound on his right chest was still bubbling blood, and Guo Jia's face showed a strange flush, and he said to Cao Zhen, "Doesn't the son ignore the great cause of the lord?" This is the lord's military order, do you dare to disobey it? ”

Cao Zhen said miserably when he heard this: "Military advisor? ”

Guo Jia waved his hand and said abruptly: "Son, let's go!" ”

Cao Zhen's face was flooded with violent convulsions, and it took a long time to grit his steel teeth and say, "Go!" ”

Cao Zhen waved his hand, and more than 100 remnants of the Cao army in the hall withdrew in an instant.

"Boom!"

Soon after Cao Zhen led more than 100 remnants of the Cao army to evacuate, the closed door of the county government hall was slammed open, and the tower-like body of Dianwei stepped into the hall heavily, and the heavy footsteps almost made the entire county government tremble gently, Guo Jia took a step back lightly and leaned his body on the table where the county order was adjudicated.

Raising his eyes, Lianghou Ma Yue had already stepped in surrounded by a group of Liangzhou civil officials and military generals, and suddenly, a strange smile bloomed at the corner of Guo Jia's mouth, that smile was like a poisonous snake finding that the ferocious wolf had unconsciously stepped into the trap it had set.

"Mr. Guo Jia." Ma Yue took two steps forward and said indifferently, "I didn't expect to meet again so soon." ”

Guo Jia responded: "Yes, the world is impermanent. ”

Ma Yue glanced at Guo Jia's right chest, and asked with concern, "Mr. seems to be injured a lot?" Do you need a lone general to be summoned with the army to treat Mr.'s injuries? ”

"No need." Guo Jia shook his head lightly and said, "Guo Jia is already a dying person, so there is no need to do more." ”

Ma Yue said: "Sir, don't be so pessimistic, the lonely soldier is a skilled doctor, specializing in the treatment of arrow wounds......"

"Hehehe......" Ma Yue's voice was suddenly interrupted by Guo Jia's strange laughter, and he gasped violently twice, Guo Jia said with a sly smile, "Lianghou should hurry up and think of a way, how to get out of Yecheng alive is the right thing, so you don't have to worry about the person who is about to die." ”

"Ugh!"

Ma Yue paused in his heart, and faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't react at once: "What does Mr. mean by this?" Lonely is very puzzled. ”

The flush on Guo Jia's face gradually faded, and he said indifferently: "Lianghou will know soon." ”

"Report~~" Guo Jia's voice fell, and suddenly the Liangzhou Elementary School rushed into the county office in a panic, knelt on the ground and said urgently, "Lord, there is a fire in the city!" ”

"Panic what! Isn't it just a fire? Ma Yue frowned and shouted, "Just get water to extinguish the fire!" ”

The little colonel said hurriedly: "Lord, the four gates are on fire at the same time, and there is no water in the city at all!" ”

"Huh?" Ma Yue's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Four doors are on fire at the same time? How did this fire start? ”

The junior colonel said: "Cao Jun buried something on fire in the ground inside and outside the city gate, and our army just entered the city and had no time to take a closer look, and when it was discovered, the fire had already ignited, and it was too late to save it." ”

Ma Yue was startled at first, and then said with relief: "It's okay, Yecheng is an earthen city, even if the four gates are burned, the fire will not spread into the city, so that the soldiers can rest easy, and it is not too late to go out of the city when the fire is extinguished." ”

"Ho ho ho ho ......" Before Ma Yue's words fell, Guo Jia suddenly smiled and said, "Lianghou can't help but think too simply, who said that Tucheng can't set fire to the city?" ”

Jia Xu seemed to realize something, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Ma Yue also gasped and said to Guo Jia: "Guo Guicai, what do you mean?" ”

"Hey, hey~~" Guo Jiayin said with a smile, "Lianghou has ever remembered the battle of Meiji, Lianghou's henchman Guo Tu burned down the 100,000 troops of Liangzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou!" I learned about this classic battle example from my friends, and my admiration for Lianghou in my heart is comparable to the height of Mount Tai and the distance of the East China Sea! Building a city with coal and setting fire to the city is really a strange strategy, which is breathtaking! ”

"Not good!" Ma Yue shouted, almost jumped up, turned around and shouted, "Quick, order the army to bypass the city gate, hang down from the city wall, and leave the city immediately!" ”

The charcoal burning city is not a joke, once this thing burns up, the most terrible thing is not the fire and heat, but the large amount of carbon monoxide produced by burning (Ma Yue is a modern person, this knowledge is still known), this thing is enough to suffocate more than 10,000 Xiliang soldiers in the city!

"It's too late!" Guo Jia laughed and said, "Yecheng is the same as Meiji, this fire is first ignited from the ground, and then spreads from the outside to the inside, when the four gates caught fire, the two thousand elite soldiers of General Cao Hong who were ambushed outside the city have already set fire to the city, Lianghou and more than 10,000 troops have no way to live, or obediently accept their fate and go to Huangquan together, hahaha......"

"Guo Guicai!" Ma Yue Huo Ran turned around, glared at Guo Jia viciously, and scolded, "You're so fucking poisonous!" ”

"This tactic of burning the city with coal is the first of Lianghou's initiative, hahaha......" Guo Jia laughed while spurting blood foam from the corner of his mouth, and then gasped violently, and said, "If you can die under the tactic you pioneered, Lianghou can be regarded as a well-deserved death, isn't it?" ”

"Report~~" Guo Jia's voice fell, and several junior colonels rushed into the lobby at the same time, kneeling on the ground and said urgently, "Lord, the Cao army ambush soldiers are setting fire outside the city, and the burning charcoal belt is ten zhang wide, and the entire Yecheng has been surrounded to death, hundreds of brothers tried to forcibly break through, but they have all been burned to death on the spot, and they can't rush out at all." ”

The Liangjun civil and military forces in the lobby suddenly panicked when they heard this, and when they were about to run out of the lobby, they were stopped by Ma Yue's shouting, and Ma Yue shouted: "What are you panicking about? The fire hasn't burned here yet, and Lone hasn't died yet! ”

Everyone was awe-inspiring, and no one dared to act rashly.

When death came, Ma Yue calmed down.

Seeing that Ma Yue did not show the slightest flustery, Guo Jia couldn't help but nod approvingly, cocked his thumb and said: "He is worthy of being the hero of the world, and he can still be as calm as he promised when he dies, admire." ”

Ma Yue said coldly: "Mr. Guo Jia, didn't you think about defending Hangu and Luoyang from the beginning?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Yes, no matter from which aspect, our army is at an absolute disadvantage compared to the Liang army, Hangu and Luoyang can't hold it anyway, since the final result is still lost, it's better to abandon the surname Suo, why waste precious troops for the impossible task?" ”

Ma Yue said: "Mr. gathered the army in Hangu, Luoyang, and Yingchuan to go on the expedition, and the banner was to attack instead of defend, to win time for Cao Apu to defeat Yuan Shao, but in fact, Mr. never thought that this battle in Nanyang could really hold back the tens of thousands of troops of Lone, yes or no?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Of course, in terms of wisdom, Guo Jia may not be under Mr. Jia Xu, but in terms of decision and prestige, Guo Jia is far from being able to compare with Lianghou, the battle of Nanyang, even if the lord (Cao Ying) is in person, our army may not be able to win the Liang army, not to mention Guo Xihu?" ”

Ma Yue said: "I know that I can't do it, everything is just for today's result, isn't it?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Yes." ”

Ma Yue said: "The reason why Mr. mobilized more troops (almost all the troops of Luoyang, Hangu, and Yingchuan were withdrawn, resulting in the emptiness of the troops of Luoyang and Hangu Pass) was just to paralyze Yu, make the rout of your army seem more real and tragic, and also make Gu more daring to pursue unscrupulously, right?" ”

"Not exactly." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "If you don't mobilize enough troops in advance, maybe you haven't fled back to Yecheng, you have already been caught up and captured by Lianghou's army, so not only will the arrangements in Yecheng be in vain, but the sacrifice of nearly 20,000 elites of Cao's army will become worthless." ”

"What a handicap, sir!" Ma Yue said coldly, "In order to die alone, I did not hesitate to abandon Shouhan Valley and Luoyang, and I did not hesitate to sacrifice the elite of 20,000 Cao troops!" Mr. De is so important, Lone is very honored, and it will not disgrace Lone's reputation to die under Mr.'s calculations! ”

Guo Jia said indifferently: "In order to kill Lianghou, it is worth sacrificing 100,000 elites. ”

"Okay." Ma Yue nodded and asked abruptly, "Last question, how many troops have you mobilized to build Ye City?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Two thousand! ”

"No way, no way!" Ma Yue said, "Although Yecheng is small and the city wall is short, to build such a soil city that is beginning to take shape, it will take at least tens of thousands of people to work day and night for half a month, only two thousand people, even if it is hard work for half a year, it may not be able to build this earth city!" ”

"It's simple." Guo Jiadao, "General Cao Hong expelled the nearby displaced people and people to participate in the construction of the city, after the construction of the earthen city, in order to avoid the leakage of news, all the displaced people and people have been killed, filled under the city wall, Lianghou, for your scenery funeral, it can be said that it is a painstaking effort, just the burial of the soldiers of the three armies and innocent people as many as tens of thousands, you should also be satisfied." ”

"Hmph." Ma Yue said coldly, "So, do you want to thank you?" ”

"That's not necessary." Guo Jia said, "Isn't it nice to be able to deal with Liang Housheng as the Lord, but after his death, he can finally be friends under Jiuquan?" ”

Ma Yue frowned and said, "Take it!" ”

Two Liangzhou thugs pounced like wolves and tigers, and tied Guo Jia up with swift movements, Guo Jia let the two thugs do it, without any struggle, in fact, he no longer had the strength to struggle, and the massive blood loss from the arrow wound in his right chest had exhausted almost all of his vitality.

Now, it is the strong stimulation of burning the horse butcher that is maintaining Guo Jia's life, so that he has no breath for the time being.

Ma Yue flicked his cloak and said in a deep voice: "Go!" ”

"Wait, my lord."

Ma Yue's voice fell, but he was called by Jia Xu, Ma Yue looked back at Jia Xu suspiciously, and asked, "Wenhe?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Lord, there must be a tunnel in this county that leads directly to the outside of the city!" Otherwise, how did Cao Zhen escape? ”

"Huh?" Ma Yue's face changed, and he said, "Lone almost broke a big deal!" ”

"Great." Li Su said, "General Dian Wei, hurry up and send someone to find this tunnel, and send the lord out of the city before the fire burns into the city." ”

"It's too late." Guo Jia, who was already dying, suddenly tilted his head again and said, "You only think of this tunnel now, it's too late, Gongzi Zhen has already joined General Cao Hong outside the city at this time, you can only die faster if you drill into the tunnel at this time." ”

"Damn!" Ma Yue clenched his fists and said sharply, "Let's go, go to Ximen to have a look!" ”

Ma Yue took Jia Xu, Li Su, Jutu and other Liangzhou civil and military across the street, hurriedly went to the west gate of Yecheng, compared with the time when he entered the city, the whole Yecheng has become much hotter, although it is now a cold winter wax moon, but Yecheng is like the middle of summer in June, the heat is unbearable, it is obvious, the coal buried in the ground has also begun to burn.

The harsh military regulations of the Liangzhou Army came into play at this time.

All the soldiers maintained enough composure, although everyone already knew what was happening, but before the last moment came, the Liangzhou army would not collapse from the ice.

In the hurried and chaotic footsteps, Ma Yue led a group of Liangzhou civil and military personnel to the west gate, and the dying Guo Jia was also put on the city tower, at this time the city tower was already hot and unbearable, Ma Yue and the others just stood for a moment, and then the burning charcoal moxibustion outside the city was already roasted with red faces and cramped breath.

"It's all to blame for the dereliction of responsibility." Jia Xu kept blaming himself, "If I knew this, I should have left an army outside the city, so that I could stop Cao Hong's ambush from setting fire, even if I couldn't stop Cao Hong's ambush from setting fire, it would also be able to transmit the fire back to the city in advance, and the lord would not have to fall into this desperate situation." ”

"Wen He doesn't have to blame himself!" Ma Yue looked calm and calm, and said indifferently, "Cao Hong's ambush soldiers first set fire to the ground, and then broke through the ground, even if our army left troops outside the city, it would not be able to stop Guo Jia's poisonous plan." It's not that we are not vigilant enough, it's really that Guo Jia is too insidious and vicious! ”

"No one thought that he would sacrifice Hangu and Luoyang, even Yingchuan and Xuchang, or even his own life, in the face of such a bait, Lone couldn't refuse, but I was afraid that no one in this world could refuse! Defeated by Guo Jia...... Not wronged! ”

Guo Jia's eyes, nostrils, corners of his mouth and ear holes have begun to leak blood, but he still struggled to breathe, and smiled when he heard the words: "Lianghou has won the award, Guo Jia is ashamed to do anything." ”

Li Su said: "Is there really no way?" ”

Jia Xu said miserably: "The carboniferous belt outside the city has completely burned, such a fire will be melted even if it is Jin Ge's iron armor, let alone people?" And judging from this fire, I'm afraid that the underground of this Yecheng is a charcoal field at all! Not to mention the lack of water in the city, even if there is enough water, I am afraid that this raging fire will not be extinguished! ”

"It is worthy of being a poisoner Jia Xu, and his eyesight is one level higher than others!" Guo Jia praised, "You're right, this Yecheng is really a charcoal field underneath, hahaha." ”

Ma Yue turned his head and glared at Guo Jia viciously, for half a pillar of incense, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas, is Gu really going to die in this Ye City today?" ”

"The so-called things are not more than three, Sanjiangkou and Bishui Pass, although Lianghou escaped death, but now it is called Yecheng, Lianghou is difficult to spare!" Guo Jia said this, and the last trace of brilliance suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he shouted to the eastern sky, "My lord~~ Guo Jia has lived up to your expectations, and has done everything that should be done, the horse butcher is dead, and Jia Poison is also dead, ho ho ho ho ~~"

"Poof!"

A drop of cold rain suddenly dropped on Guo Jia's forehead, Guo Jia shivered excitedly, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at the sky in disbelief, the sky was gray!

"Poof!"

Two more drops of cold rain splashed on the city, this time, Jia Xu and Li Su also found out that Jia Xu, who had collapsed in front of Plain Taishan and did not change color, shouted excitedly this time and said to the horse: "Rain! Lord, it's raining, hehe, we are saved! ”

Li Su even opened his arms and shouted hoarsely: "God, come to a rainstorm!" ”

"Puff puff ......"

Li Su's voice fell, more raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the city tower with a crackling sound, the cold raindrops were steamed by the scalding city wall, and quickly turned into a burst of water soup, dissipating invisibly, but while the raindrops dissipated, it also brought a trace of coolness to the city.

"This ......"

Guo Jia's face quickly turned gray.

In less than a moment, the rain became heavier and heavier, and soon it really became a downpour, and the dense rain poured down endlessly from the sky, and soon poured the burning charcoal fire outside the city into a scorched black, and the misty water vapor steamed up from the ground, transforming Yecheng into a beautiful one.

"Uh~poof~~ Providence, providence?"

Guo Jia opened his mouth and spurted out the last stream of blood, the look in his eyes quickly dimmed, his head tilted, and he died of anger.

[Nonsense: This sudden rainstorm is not entirely providential, it was the Winter Committee at that time, there were thick clouds over Yecheng, and it could snowstorm at any time, Guo Jia's fire made the temperature in Yecheng rise rapidly, and as a result, the hot air flow quickly went up and collided with the snow clouds, and this miraculous scene happened. ]

"Quick!" Ma Yue recovered from the shock, wiped a handful of rain from his face, and shouted, "Immediately demolish the dwellings in the city, collect all the planks that can be collected as quickly as possible, and pave a way out of the city to the outside of the fire belt, move quickly, Dian Wei, don't go quickly!" ”

The winter rainstorm will not last long, and this burst of rain will not be able to completely extinguish the fire outside the city, and when the rain will subside, the temporarily suppressed fire will spread rapidly again, and will burn more fiercely and fiercely, and then there will be no hope of escape at the last moment!

When the sudden rainstorm stopped and the fire outside the city reopened, Ma Yue and his more than 10,000 Liang troops finally escaped from the death trap set by Guo Jia at the cost of their lives.

……

Guandu.

Cao Ying's attack on Wuchao was successful, and the army had just returned to the Guandu camp, and when he heard that Zhang He, Jiang Qi, and Han Meng had led the army to surrender, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he came to Zhang He's camp tent excitedly before the clothes were unsolved, holding Zhang He's hands and saying: "The general rate came to vote, just like Han Xin's moon night to vote for Gaozu, and the great cause of the revival of the Han family can be expected!" ”

Zhang He obviously didn't expect Cao Ying to value him so much, a defeated general who came to surrender to the poor, so he knelt on one knee at that time, clasped his hands into fists and said excitedly: "In the future, if the prime minister has a bad deal, even if he is full of liver and brain, he will be as happy as he is." ”

Cao Ying was overjoyed, stepped forward to help Zhang He and said, "General, please get up quickly." ”

"Lord!"

When Cao Ye was excited, the voice of the strategist Liu Ye suddenly came from behind him, and when he turned around, Cao Ye found that Liu Ye's face was a little pale, and Cao Ying, who knew that Liu Ye's surname was stable, couldn't help but sink his heart, which could make Liu Ye so discolored, presumably something big had happened, and he followed Liu Ye to a corner where there was no one at that time, and asked, "Ziyang, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Ye looked left and right to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, so he lowered his voice and said: "I just received an urgent report from General Yu Ban, Xu Du has a big incident!" ”

Cao Ying said in horror: "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Ye said: "Guan Yu rebelled, and Xu Du was defenseless and was captured by Guan Yu taking advantage of the situation......"

"Huh!?" Cao Ying was taken aback when he heard this, and lost his voice, "Guan Yu rebelled!" Xu Du fell? ”

Liu Ye said: "Lord, now Guan Yu has kidnapped the Son of Heaven and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, as well as the Prime Minister's family fled to Runan, General Yu Ban has led a large army to pursue, General Yu Ban also said in the letter, Hangu Pass and Luoyang have been lost, Tiger Prison Pass is afraid that it will be difficult to hold for a long time, and the military division has not sent back news for a long time, I am afraid that it is also more auspicious, whether to continue to confront the Hebei Army, or withdraw the army as soon as possible, please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Cao Ying quickly recovered from the initial shock and asked Liu Ye, "Ziyang, who else knows the news about this matter?" ”

Liu Ye said: "Except for the lord and his subordinates, no third person knows about this. ”

"No, there's anyone else who knows about it!" A trace of cold murderous intent flashed in Cao Ying's small eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Immediately send someone to kill the messenger who delivered the letter, this matter must not leak the slightest rumor, even Zhongde and Gongda, you can't let them know, Zi Yang remember." ”

Liu Ye said in a deep voice: "I understand." ”

Cao Ying waved his hand and said, "Go quickly." ”

Liu Ye took the order and left, Cao Ying saw Liu Ye's figure in the distance, and when he turned around again, his face had already recovered the excitement just now, and he said to Zhang He and the others: "General Zhang He, General Jiang Qi and General Han Meng, and with Gu Lai, Yuan Shao has already betrayed his relatives, and now is a good opportunity to defeat the Hebei army in one fell swoop!" ”

Hebei Daying.

When Yuan Shao was restlessly pacing back and forth in the big tent, his youngest son Yuan Shang suddenly walked into the tent and said sharply: "Father, just now a front-line rout fled back to the camp, saying that Zhang He, Jiang Qi, Han Meng and Xun Chen have defected to Cao Ying, and tens of thousands of troops under the command of Zhang He and the three have also surrendered to Cao!" ”

"What!?"

Yuan Shao was taken aback, only to feel that it was dark in front of him and almost passed out!

Although there are 300,000 troops under Yuan Shao's command, in fact, the only elite soldiers who can really fight the First World War are the 100,000 old Jizhou troops led by Zhang He, Jiang Qi, and Han Meng, and the rest of the 200,000 troops are basically rabble who came by absorbing the Black Mountain Thieves and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

Yuan Shao's refusal to send troops to rescue Wuchao was of course the main reason for listening to Xin Ping's misjudgment, but after sending 90,000 Jizhou elite soldiers to attack Cao's camp, Yuan Shao's inability to send a decent elite army was also an important reason. If there are enough elite troops in his hands, and Yuan Shao is not an idiot, why not send troops to rescue Wuchao?
