The soldiers were very fast, and Yuan Shao quickly passed through the sand and water, approaching the water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 I heard that Liu Xiu's camp was in Xinji, and he also set up his camp on the east bank of Weishui, across the water from Liu Xiu.

The general of the army is very incomprehensible, our destination is Pingyu, Pingyu is still fifty miles to the south, why should we confront Liu Xiu in Xinji? We should move forward to the south non-stop, cross the water, level the peace, and first relieve the siege of the peace.

Yuan Shao laughed and said to the judge, Zhengnan, you haven't played against Liu Xiu, I don't know this person's military habits. Do you think he camped on the west bank of the river because he didn't dare to fight me? Yes, he does not have enough troops, but don't forget, he also has 20,000 elite horsemen. I can assure you that if I go straight to the water, he will definitely hit halfway, which is his most common method. I think that back then, in the first battle of Yuzhong, he defeated 100,000 Zhong Qiang.

If the trial doesn't think so, then if we confront each other here, he won't attack halfway?

Yuan Shao smiled mysteriously, of course not, I am clearly confronting him here, but secretly I want to rush to cross the water, so that he can not be guarded against. If he guards Ruyang, I will attack Xinji, and from Xinji to the south, if he guards Xinji, it will be better, and he will not have enough troops to defend Ruyang.

After hearing this, it dawned on me. He immediately ordered the army to go and prepare.

Yuan Shao didn't agree, and said very solemnly to the judge, I still have to rely on your prestige to attract Liu Xiu here, how can you leave. The judge heard what Yuan Shao meant, and didn't say anything more. After the trial withdrew, Guo Tu sneered, did the trial still think that this was a city or Jizhou?

Yuan Shao's face sank, he didn't answer Guo Tu's words, wrote a war letter by himself, and sent someone to send Weishui to challenge Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was in Xinjicheng, and after reading Yuan Shao's reserved and arrogant war letter, he was not angry and asked the envoy to take a seat. The messenger was not polite, and sat down generously.

"Listening to the accent of the messenger, it seems to be from Yingchuan?"

"Exactly, a certain person is from Yingchuan Yangzhai."

"Really?" Liu Xiu turned his head to look at Guo Jia behind him, "Fengxiao, this is your township party." ”

Guo Jia smiled and bowed to the envoy: "Xin Jun, don't come to harm?" ”

The messenger looked at Guo Jia in some surprise for a while, but still didn't remember who he was, so he asked, "Dare to ask who ...... is here?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "The unfilial descendants of the Yang Zhai Guo family, Guo Jia." ”

"Guo Jia?" The messenger looked at Guo Jia carefully, then patted his head, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the thin and weak little offspring back then would grow so strong and majestic today, no wonder I see that you are a little familiar, but I can't remember anything." How's it going, is your mother okay? ”

"Thank you Xin Jun for all well." Guo Jia returned the salute very respectfully.

Liu Xiu was surprised: "You know each other? ”

Guo Jia hurriedly introduced: "General, this is the Xin Jun of the Yang Zhai Xin family, whose name is Bi and whose name is George. ”

"Simpi Sin, George?" Liu Xiu suddenly realized that the emotion was Xin Bi. He hurriedly asked, "Who are you who Xin Zhongzhi is?" ”

"Brother." Xin Bi put away his smile and said without being humble or arrogant.

Liu Xiu nodded. He knew that Xin Ping was the news that Xi Zhicai heard when he was in Yecheng many years ago, and he had also heard Xin Bi's name, but Xin Bi seemed to have been inconspicuous under Yuan Shao's tent, and he rarely heard it in the follow-up information. He didn't pay much attention to it, and at this moment, when he saw Xinbi coming to him as a messenger, he couldn't help but be a little disapproving. After so many years under Yuan Shao's account, this person is still a messenger, and it is estimated that this person is not very good. He just wanted to say a few polite words casually, but Guo Jia gently poked him in the back.

Liu Xiu immediately swallowed back the words that had already reached his lips, and said with a smile: "Since it is a township party of Fengxiao, it is easy to talk, I am not welcome, George, we will not talk about official business today, let's just talk about some gossip." ”

Xin Bi smiled faintly, of course he wouldn't believe Liu Xiu's nonsense, he would really be so affectionate because he was Guo Jia's township party, he just wanted to ask about the situation in Yuan Shao's camp, and he really wanted to know about Liu Xiu's reality. You lie to me, I lie to you, and in the end it depends on who can deceive whom.

"General Lixian Corporal is approachable, and he really lives up to his reputation."

Liu Xiu was surprised: "Does Jizhou also know me?" ”

"Of course I know, who in the world doesn't know the prestige of the hussar general?"

Liu Xiu laughed and moved towards Xin Bi, and the two of them were leaning together, looking very affectionate. Liu Xiudong pulled a talk, and after a while, Yingchuan has been pacified, and the new policy has been implemented with Jingzhou at the beginning of the year, and now the people live and work in peace and contentment, and your family must hope that you will go back and reunite as a family. After a while, you Ru Ying is really a strange man, you can't recruit anyone, so you have to serve two parties, you look at the Guo family, Guo Tu is doing confidential affairs by Yuan Shao's side, Guo Jia is being an attendant by my side, they are all talents.

Your Xin family too, since your brother is on Yuan Shao's side, your younger brother has no place, why don't you come to the court to be an official, with your knowledge and talent, I think it will definitely not be a messenger for so long, and he will win over Xin Bida.

Xin Bi was a little anxious in his heart, Liu Xiu's wooing was within his expectations, but the purpose of his coming was not to take refuge in Liu Xiu, but to explore the reality of Liu Xiu's side, Liu Xiu always said that these things are not in tune, how can he complete the task? He opened his mouth several times, wanting to lean on the topic of the current war, but was interrupted by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu talked for a long time, and finally waved his hand and said happily: "It's really rare to see Xin Jun at first sight." Xin Jun don't be in a hurry to leave, anyway, this battle can't be fought in a day or two, I invite you to drink. Come on, go to Yazipi and prepare a banquet for me, I want to feast Xin Jun. ”

When Xin Bi heard this, he hurriedly declined. What are you kidding, we are enemies, how can we drink together? If this is passed back, what does Yuan Shao think of me? As soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Xiu's face sank unhappily: "Xin Jun looks down on me as a martial artist? ”

"How dare you."

"Well, if you don't say it, I don't know?" Liu Xiu smiled proudly: "But you forgot, my husband is also a famous Confucian in the world, and I will let you see my knowledge at the banquet later." Can I still be compared to Yuan Shao's kid? Back then, he was still my subordinate, but now he dares to rebel with a large army, and now he is even more bold and even more daring to fight against me with a large army. I'll show you how I cleaned him up like an ignorant urchin. ”

Simbi's heart moved, and he no longer shirked.

Liu Xiu immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet in a place called Yazipi in the west of the city, let people catch a few fresh fish, cook them next to him, get some dishes, bring a few bottles of wine, and drink happily with Xinbi, only Guo Jia was the only one who accompanied him, and the guards stood far away, and the entourage brought by Xinbi set up another seat in the distance, and they were accompanied. During the banquet, Liu Xiu talked about laughter, Tiannan and Haibei, the subset of classics and history, astronomy and geography, and said everything, except for the military.

Xin Bi was so anxious, in the face of the rare wine, he couldn't eat freely, listening to Liu Xiu's strange nonsense, he couldn't refute it, he could only wait patiently for Liu Xiu to drink too much and say more about military affairs. Fortunately, Liu Xiu seemed to be a little overexcited, and as soon as he drank half of the wine, he couldn't find the north, and then he actually lay on the desk and snored loudly.

Guo Jia smiled embarrassedly: "The general has been busy with military affairs recently, the pressure is too great, and if you are rude, please ask Xin Junhaihan." ”

Simbi breathed a sigh of relief, and the unobtrusive hussar general was finally drunk.

He looked at Guo Jia and said with an easy-going smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the hussar general is refreshing, I like it very much." By the way, Fengxiao, seeing that you are so close to the general, you have been by the general's side for several years, right? ”

Guo Jia glanced at Xin Bi gratefully: "Yes, since Guanghe came to the general's side for three years, I have been accompanying the general for eight years." If it weren't for the general, I don't know if I would have been able to live in this world. ”

Xin Bi was not impressed by Guo Jia. Since Yuan Shao served as the general of Zhenbei and launched the Northern Xinjiang War, he came to Yuan Shao's side, when Guo Jia was still an underage child, and no one paid attention to him in the Guo family. What he knows is Guo Tu's family, and he knows very little about Guo Jia, a child of the Guo family, and his only impression is that their mother and son are very bitter and cold, and their family background is very poor.

However, as soon as Guo Jia opened his mouth, Xin Bi knew that his task would fall on Guo Jia's head today. He seemed to ask casually, Guo Jia even said what year he had been to Liu Xiu's side, obviously, he now saw that the township party was very relaxed, and there was a kind of confiding. He can be by Liu Xiu's side, of course, he can know a lot of secrets, as long as he puts a little effort into it, he will definitely be able to get valuable information.

Xin Bi raised his wine glass and said with emotion: "It can be seen that the general is as kind to you as a mountain." ”

Guo Jia wiped his tears and said with a tearful smile: "What Xin Jun said is very true, the general not only saved my life, but also taught me a lot of ways to use soldiers, he is my reborn parents." ”

Xin Bi stroked his beard and laughed: "The way of the hussar generals is unparalleled in the world, you must have learned a lot, right?" Famous teachers produce high apprentices, you are a rare luck for ordinary people. Your father will be very pleased if he knows under the Nine Springs. ”

Guo Jia smiled secretly in his heart, but his face showed a trace of pride that young people often have: "Gao Ming doesn't dare to say it, but when it comes to knowledge, I still have what I have gained." ”

The two raised their glasses, touched each other, drank them all, and began to talk. Liu Xiu lay on the side, snoring and sleeping, and endured very hard. This Xin Bi is a smart person, but he actually wants to say something from Guo Jia's mouth, which is basically no different from pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth. He was afraid that Xin Bi would see that he was pretending to be asleep, so he left the back of his head to Xin Bi by turning over.
