Just when the high-level leaders of Jingzhou were calm, the entire Yizhou had already exploded, and most people were panicked! For them, the name Wang Xu itself is enough to deterrent. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he accompanied General Huangfu Song to levy the Yellow Turban, burned the Changshe, forced Peng Tuo to death, attacked Puyang, fled thousands of miles, and broke through Guangzong. Although it disappeared for two years, it soon rose strongly in Jingnan, suppressed the rebellion, pacified the barbarians, fought Changsha, attacked Yuzhang, and set Liu Biao. It can be said that his story has already spread all over the land of China, and he is also a top-notch person among contemporary legends.

Now, the Jingzhou army under his command is advancing westward, showing absolute strength, although most people are not very clear about the current situation, but because of this, its successive battles and victories are even more alarming. Of course, for the higher-ups, although there are some heart palpitations, they are not afraid, at least most are not afraid.

Taishou Mansion in Jiangzhou City......

"General Yan! Now that the Jingzhou army is about to be under the city, the total number of defenders in Jiangzhou is only more than 20,000 people, and there are no large reinforcements in a short period of time, I don't know what to do? A stout middle-aged general in cyan armor asked a question with a little worry, and this was the concern of most of the people in the room.

"General Shen, don't be impatient!" The leader waved his hand lightly and calmly motioned for the middle-aged general to sit down. This person is dressed in cyan and red-striped battle armor, with a Chinese face, a majestic face, eyes and a short beard under his chin, he is really very generous, it is the Jiangzhou guard Yan Yan. However, he was not old at this time, he looked about forty years old, just in the prime of life. Moreover, he was not originally stationed here, but after Liu Yan learned that Wang Xu had the intention to attack, for the sake of insurance, he appointed this general whom he valued very much to temporarily stop in Jiangzhou.

However, before he could continue to speak, the last young warrior stood up abruptly with a rude face. Tall. There is a wild nature all over the body. "General Yan, why is Wang Xu afraid? Give the last general 500 cavalry, the last general is willing to go out of the city to call for war, and he will behead a few generals to frustrate his spirit! ”

"No!" As soon as the words fell, another general in the hall got up, ignoring Gan Ning's vicious gaze. He said to Yan Yan: "General Yan, Wang Xu has a lot of talents, and there is no shortage of martial and brave people, so don't go out to battle hastily." If it does not break the enemy's spirit, it will make our soldiers even more afraid. ”

"That's it! That is, General Fu's words are reasonable! With his voice. Many generals in the hall chimed in.

Although Yan Yan also preferred not to fight, he still greatly appreciated Gan Ning's courage. However, he has known Gan Ning for a long time, and Lou Fa only introduced him some time ago, and the reason why he looked at this young man differently and was exceptionally promoted from the county lieutenant of Quren County to the leading general was because Lou Fa once said: In an urgent situation, he decisively forced all the county soldiers to retreat to Jiangzhou, and the person who concentrated his troops was Gan Ning.

And because of that. When Yan Yan intended to set up an ambush in Huangshigang. Only then did they send Shen Mi, Lou Fa, and Gan Ning to go together. Although it failed in the end, according to the report. At that time, it was after Gan Ning led his troops to break off that he was able to reduce the losses and make most of the soldiers successfully withdraw to Jiangzhou.

Seeing that this young general, whom he admired, had such courage, Yan Yan was also very happy. However, this battle must not be sloppy after all, although he has heard that Gan Ning's bravery is extraordinary, but he has never seen the actual situation, and Wang Xu's general has long heard of it, so he does not dare to make a hasty decision.

"General Yan, the last general thinks that he can give Xingba a try!" Just as Yan Yan was thinking, the first member of the left suddenly said loudly.

"Oh?" Yan Yan looked up, only to find that it was Shen Mi. Before Yan Yan arrived, this Shen Mi was the Jiangzhou guard and was quite prestigious, so as soon as he said this, everyone in the hall was silent.

Shen Mi was not verbose, glanced back at Gan Ning with a smile, and then arched his hand again: "General Yan, Gan Xingba has the courage of ten thousand people, this is what the last general has seen with his own eyes." In the battle of Huangshigang that day, he was undefeated in a single battle against Xu Huang and Han Meng for more than 20 years, so he might be able to try. At present, the morale of the army is low, and the siege is extremely unfavorable, if it can boost morale, the next battle to defend the city will be much easier. ”

Hearing Shen Mi say this, everyone in the hall looked at the somewhat unfamiliar young general in surprise. On the contrary, it was Gan Ning who did not give in, and took advantage of the situation: "General Yan, the general failed to make meritorious contributions at the end of the day, but it was because he fell into the treacherous tricks of the Jingzhou army, and he couldn't do it with all his strength considering the safety of the army, otherwise he would have been rewarded." ”

With Shen Mi Baoju, and he himself has such confidence, the rest of the people are not good at saying anything, and they all set their eyes on Yan Yan to see his decision. After contemplating for a moment, Yan Yan's eyes were also shining, staring at Gan Ning fiercely. After the two looked at each other for a long time, Yan Yan suddenly laughed: "Haha! Okay, in that case, if the Jingzhou army comes to fight, you will be in battle. ”

"No!" Gan Ning replied casually, his eyes were already shining, and he was looking forward to the Jingzhou army coming to call for battle!

In the evening, the main army led by Wang Xu also arrived at the front line and joined the 30,000 vanguard troops of Wang Fei, Xu Huang, and Han Meng. Because the large siege equipment and supplies still had to be delivered in three days, after discussion, everyone decided to see the situation first, and if they could find a good way, it would be much better than a strong attack.

In the early morning of the next day, all the generals were gearing up, and they went to the main tent to ask for battle, hoping to go to the city to call for battle first, to probe the enemy, if the other party has generals to fight, of course, it is better, kill one is one. But what is shocking is that Wang Xu actually refused, without exception. This can confuse the generals, no one understands, if you don't take advantage of the situation to hit the enemy's morale now, what are you waiting for?

Just when it was difficult to survive the day in this aggrieved atmosphere, and the generals became more and more itchy, a bad news suddenly came.

Guo Jia is dead! After carrying out the mission, he was assassinated by assassins on the way to the city of Jiangzhou!

When they heard the news, all the Wenchen generals were stunned for a long time, until Wang Xu slapped the table in front of him in half with a sad and angry "bang", and everyone reacted. What followed was a surge of anger, and everyone here was mentally prepared for death, but such a way of death was unacceptable to anyone.

Following Wang Xu's footsteps and rushing out of the camp, everyone soon saw countless soldiers crying around the gate.

Guo Jia's conduct and morality are all outstanding among people, and he is also extremely concerned about the suffering of soldiers and people on weekdays, and is conscientious, fair and selfless. It can be said that in Jingzhou, he is loved and respected by everyone. At this moment, the sudden corpse in front of him is naturally painful.

With the arrival of the generals, the soldiers full of grief and indignation spontaneously made way for them to lead to the center.

"Bong-hyo! Why did you leave me? "From afar, I saw my body covered with a white cloth. Unidentified body lying on a stretcher. Wang Xu was already screaming miserably. Then he stepped forward quickly, waved his hand and pulled open the white cloth.

In an instant, Guo Jia's pale and bloodless face appeared in everyone's sight, and at this moment, the surrounding soldiers and Wenchen generals all saw the face of the corpse, which was Guo Jia, the military advisor of Jingzhou.

Originally, some generals and Tian Feng and other strategists who didn't believe it all widened their eyes in an instant, and they were about to pounce. However, Wang Xu had already re-covered the white cloth in the next moment. And instantly erupted into an earth-shattering roar, diverting everyone's attention. "Who is it! Feng Xiao, tell me who I am, this general will definitely break him into pieces! ”

He didn't dare to let the generals and strategists around him take a closer look at Guo Jia, it was not difficult for these people to see the flaws, and now they couldn't let irrelevant people know.

With rage. Wang Xu soon made a grief-stricken appearance, crying out in pain, with tears in his eyes. And with his influence, the sobbing sound of the entire military camp was even more pronounced, and even the military generals behind him were blurred with tears, trembling and clenching their fists, extremely sad and angry.

At this moment, a graceful figure suddenly walked over. Said a little sadly: "My lord." Condolences! ”

Wang Xu knew who it was in his heart, but he deliberately looked up. Surprised, he exclaimed, "Ling Wanqing? Then he turned to his side, his eyes swept hurriedly, and he said strangely: "Huh? Madame is here too? How did you end up here? ”

They are Xu Shu and Ling Wanqing, and there are dozens of spy elites behind them.

"Hey!" Xu Shu sighed, looked at Wang Xu helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Guo Jia returned to Xiangyang to carry out your order, and not long after leaving the city to catch up with the army, I received a spy report, and I found out that someone might be unfavorable to the military division, and Ling led people to chase after him, but I didn't expect to catch up." When we chased to Linjiang, the military division was already ......"

Saying that, Xu Shu pretended to bow her head in pain, and after a while, she looked at Wang Xu with red eyes, and choked up: "Because this matter is too serious, I don't dare to make decisions without permission, and Linjiang is not far from here, so I rushed over with the body of the military advisor first, and it is up to you to decide." ”

"Do you know who did it?" Wang Xu asked with a calm face.

Ling Wanqing also cooperated very well, and immediately stood up and took over in a cold voice: "Lord, it is not certain at the moment, but judging from the information we have, all of them point to Yizhou." ”

It wasn't loud, but it was heard by everyone around me. In an instant, the crowd was excited, and the voices of scolding came and went. "It's too despicable, they are afraid of military advisors, so they use this method!"

"Liu Yan's dog thief, shameless!"

"Bastard thing!"

"Enter Chengdu and kill Liu Yan to avenge the military advisor!"

"Break into Chengdu!"

With the angry roar of the soldiers, all the civil and military generals were also enthusiastic, and they all wanted to enter Chengdu immediately. However, seeing this, Wang Xu was very happy in his heart, but his face was still extremely sad and angry. Guo Jia's extra idea is also good, not only can better disguise the true whereabouts, but also boost morale to the extreme.

After cooperating with the grief and indignation and threatening to take revenge, Wang Xu also made a look of turning grief into strength, and quickly ordered people to make simple coffins, repelled the soldiers, and encouraged everyone to fight next. Even in the face of the high-level leaders in Jingzhou, he also put on a good performance, although it was a little unbearable to see the grief of the generals and Tian Feng and Wang Kai, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still pretended to be decent.

Soon, a simple mourning hall was set up in the big tent, and at the same time, it was announced that after today's mourning, soldiers would be sent to escort the coffin of "Guo Jia" to return to Xiangyang early tomorrow morning.

In a mournful cry, time flew by, and the night came quickly. Because of some reasons that could not see the light, Wang Xu used the excuse that he wanted to guard Guo Jia's soul with Xu Shu in person, and asked everyone to go back to rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle. At the same time, the curtain was closed, and no one was allowed to approach, even Dian Wei and the guards could only stay a few meters away.

Everyone thought that Wang Xu was too heartbroken and wanted to stay alone with Guo Jia for a while, but they all left quietly and silently. There were only three people in the military tent where the coffin of "Guo Jia" was parked: he, Xu Shu, and Ling Wanqing.

Only at this time did the three of them glance at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, this acting was also extremely tiring. Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Xu slowly opened the lid of the coffin, and smiled at the "corpse" in the coffin with a slight urge: "Dead girl, get up quickly, you still have to do something, you won't pretend to be a dead person and be addicted!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Guo Jia's whereabouts must have nothing to do with Liu Yan, have you guessed it, hehe!
