CHAPTER XXXVII

The people who came were none other than Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, but it was Cao Cao's cavalry that arrived first.

Since Xu Ji saw it, there must have been a more experienced scout who informed Sun Jian, just when Cao Cao launched a charge against Zhao Xiu without hesitation, Sun Jian opened the camp gate and killed at the same time, the Yellow Turban Army was divided by the two teams of cavalry without any reaction, Cao Cao was responsible for chiseling through, Sun Jian was cruising and hunting the lone people and horses of the team, and in less than a stick of incense, Zhao Xiu's men and horses were scattered, and Zhao Xiu naturally hurriedly led his own soldiers to flee as soon as he saw Cao Cao's cavalry arrive. Of course, even if he ran, he didn't forget He Yuan, so the remaining Yellow Turban Dragons had no leader, and under the impact of Cao Cao's wolf-like tiger, it completely collapsed in an instant.

Of course, Cao Cao couldn't just be an impact, after defeating Zhao Xiu's department, he immediately pursued the fleeing Zhao Xiu, Cao Cao expected that Zhao Xiu would not dare to return to the camp but went straight to Wancheng, of course, he couldn't go back to the camp, Sun Jian's camp left to Zhao Xiu had been burned to the ground, obviously Xu Ji didn't want to give Zhao Xiu any chance at all, or rather, Xu Ji didn't want to give Zhao Hong any chance to explore the strength of the Han army, or to some extent, Xu Ji was confident that Zhao Xiu would be annihilated, and Cao Cao also had the same plan, That's why the non-stop desperate pursuit, Cao Cao's cavalry is also a long-distance attack, although there is no forced march, but after the previous battle, it is indeed sleepy and lacking, but still choosing to pursue is enough to prove that Cao Cao has an accurate grasp of the battle situation, and this is not Xu Ji's consideration. Xu Ji has enough confidence in this future hero.

And the army of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song also felt the battlefield when Cao Cao began to pursue, and happened to take over the work of clearing the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and Xu Ji went to see Zhu Jun as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhu Jun was actually not too satisfied, Sun Jian and Xu Ji had done well enough, counting the time when Sun Jian's troops arrived in Nanyang, they dragged Zhao Hong for six days, and did not pay too heavy a price, Zhu Jun was dissatisfied that the number of troops he and Huangfu Song could mobilize was still too small, and Sun Jian's troops were only worth 20,000 people, which made him extremely unconfident in conquering Wancheng, just when he was worried about the big tent of the Chinese army, the news that Xu Ji asked to see came, Zhu Jun was of course very strange, Because at this time, Xu Ji obviously asked Wancheng not to be in a hurry to ask for a meeting, but he came.

Zhu Jun still met with him, and at this time, Huangfu Song led his troops to Wancheng first, and Zhu Jun led his troops to rescue Sun Jian: "Why is Wen Lie so anxious to find me?" ”

Xu Ji looked at this general who had been fighting in the east and west for several months, although the tiredness was difficult to hide, but it was rare to maintain a high fighting spirit, Xu Ji put aside these thoughts and said: "General, time is running out, at this moment, it is time to take advantage of Zhao Xiu's defeat to convey Wancheng when the army is attacking the city, if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve results in a short time." ”

Of course, Zhu Jun knew this, but he was still worried: "Wen Lie, I also know that fighter planes are rare, but our army is only afraid that there is more than enough and not enough strength." What's more, our army is only less than 20,000, this Wancheng is really ......"

Xu Ji understands Zhu Jun's worries, but this is the judgment of Zhu Jun, who does not understand the situation in Wancheng, for Xu Ji, what he sees is not like this: "General, now Wancheng is not bent on fighting against the official army, Bocai and Zhao Hong are separated from Germany, and Zhao Xiu's nearly 8,000 people are almost completely wiped out. ”

Zhu Jun was still hesitant, what he held in his hand was the life and death of 20,000 people, and he couldn't afford to be careless: "Wen Lie, give me the bottom, how sure are you that you can break the city at this time?" ”

Xu Ji said calmly: "Eighty." At this time, Zhao Hong had already underestimated the enemy, Bo Cai had already lost the right to speak, and no one could restrain him. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Jun got up and paced back and forth in the camp tent a few times, took a deep breath, and shouted outside the tent: "Left and right, gather the soldiers of the whole battalion, abandon the camp and set off." ”

Although Zhu Jun's decision was very difficult, but once he made up his mind and acted resolutely, he straightened out the soldiers in less than half a pillar of incense, and Cao Cao also sent back the news, he had led his troops to wipe out the fleeing Zhao Xiu's troops, which gave Zhu Jun a lot of time, and it was only three hours from the Lushan camp to Wancheng, Zhu Jun only asked one sentence in the journey: "Who should be the one who will open the city gate for me?" ”

And Xu Ji also replied categorically: "Sun Wentai." ”

Of course, this is not because Sun Jian and Xu Ji have a good relationship, but looking at these generals in Zhu Jun's hands, only two of them can take on this task, one is Sun Jian, and the other is Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao has not yet rushed to meet him, so only Sun Jian is available. Zhu Jun didn't say much after hearing this, but just ordered his own pro-army to pass the order.

Seeing this, Xu Ji added: "Just give Sun Wentai the headquarters, too many people are afraid that something bad will happen." Zhu Jun bowed his head to signal that he understood.

When the army arrived at the old camp, it stopped, and at this time, Sun Jian, who was dressed as a yellow scarf, led the headquarters to set off, and when Xu Ji went to explain Sun Jian's precautions before departure, Sun Jian patted Xu Ji's not broad shoulder and said: "Although Wen Lie is a literati, he has quite an ancient style. Today's kindness, Sun Wentai wrote down, if Sun Wentai does not die, he will definitely repay it. ”

Faced with Sun Jian's words, Xu Ji just chuckled and said: "The general is brave and brave, but he is too risky, and he should not be like this for a master." Xu Wenlie is just a despicable person in Yingchuan, and he is valued by the general. General, cherish. ”

Sun Jian was confused when he said this, but he still understood the meaning, he wanted him not to take the lead, it was too dangerous to risk the arrow stone himself, Sun Jian actually didn't have many friends, like Xu Ji, who spoke shallow and deep and even didn't care about the return, Sun Jian was indeed very moved, but this is not the time to be sentimental, Sun Jian nodded slightly, looked back and said to Huang Gai: "Go, follow me to win the first credit for the destruction of Wancheng!" ”

Looking at Sun Jian's back riding away on a horse, Xu Ji sighed inaudibly: "It's a pity for the tiger, it's a pity for the tiger." ”

Chen Zhi behind him frowned, obviously didn't understand, but he didn't ask either, Xu Ji wanted to tell him that Xu Ji would say it without asking, and there were some things, Xu Ji didn't say anything to him, he would never ask, this is Chen Zhi's way of being a minister.

Not long after Sun Jian set off, Cao Cao and Huangfu Song also returned to the camp, at this moment Cao Cao finally saw his curious Xu Ji, of course, Xu Ji also saw Cao Cao, Cao Cao is indeed not good-looking, at least not as good as Sun Jian, but he has his own momentum, Sun Jian is like a tiger, and Cao Cao is like a lion, every word and deed reveals a wanton heroism, don't look at Cao Cao is only in his twenties but he can already be regarded as a ups and downs, so he also has a bit of detachment.

When Xu Ji observed Cao Cao, Cao Cao was also observing Xu Ji, if Xu Ji must be compared to an animal, then Cao Cao Xu Ji described Xu Ji as a mink, usually harmless to humans and animals, once the fangs are exposed, but they are extremely sharp. Xu Ji's fourteen-year-old body seemed to contain a forty-year-old soul, Cao Cao thought he could see people, but he never saw through this posterior boy.

"Cao Mengde."

"Xu Wenlie."

The two handed over each other's names at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled, Xu Ji laughed at Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's smile seemed meaningful.

Xu Ji didn't care, he didn't have any fear of this Cao Cao who was not a hero now, and even felt that such a person was very cute, and Cao Cao naturally would not refuse to make a friend like himself.

At this moment, Bocai is sitting alone in his camp, since the defeat of the Changshe army and fled to Wancheng, he has never been touched with wine, and he has only slept in the barracks, and the old brother next to him died, escaped, and surrendered, and now only he is still unwilling. But at this time, Bo Cai has been relieved, and the only obsession is almost clear, it is because of this that he has stopped interfering in the military for a few days, Zhao Hong is happy to see it, and he has never sent anyone to disturb, Bo Cai's evaluation of Zhao Hong is very simple: "Don't do it, be arrogant." ”

Bo Cai once again pulled out his sword, this sword has been polished by Bo Cai as bright as a bronze mirror, flashing cold from time to time, Bo Cai's eyes are cold, like a deadly snake hidden in the darkness: "Zhao Hong, Bo Cai is waiting to see you defeated." These words are almost inaudible, but they hide a little sadness and a little bit of happiness.

The sky slowly darkened, and it was about to be time for the shift change, Li Er on the city wall smacked his lips and scolded: "These foodies, if you don't come to change shifts, why don't you go to find those mothers-in-law again?" On the other side, a soldier lying on the city wall did not look back and said, "Hey, don't say it, you and I just can't afford to go if we want to." Okay, don't talk about it, it's going to be fast, and I don't know if General Zhao Xiu defeated Sun Thief, if you want me to say, this group of officers and soldiers is not as good as us. ”

Li Er was about to reply, when he suddenly saw a man of more than 1,000 people outside the city walking towards the city gate, and hurriedly said, "Brother Niu, look." ”

The soldier who was still lying down immediately rolled up, glanced at the army outside the city, turned around and slapped Li Er's head: "Scare Lao Tzu, don't you see that it's your own people?" Lao Tzu still fucking thought that the official army was coming. Later, the eyes will shine on me. ”

Li Er had to hold his head aggrievedly, and the soldier asked loudly in the city, "Which brother is it?" ”

The leader of the pair of yellow turbans under the city who had an unexpectedly neat lineup said loudly: "I am under the command of General Zhao Xiu to serve the grain of fate, and it is too late to be attacked by the official army today, and I hope it will be convenient." ”

"It's easy to say, they're all brothers." After saying this, the soldier turned around and said to Li Er on the side: "Let's go, let's go down and open the door, don't make these gangs wait for a long time, I can't say that I will cause trouble for you and me." After speaking, he leaned out and said, "Come right away." ”

The leader of the city arched his hand and said, "I'm tired." ”

And Li Er, who saw all this, felt that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't remember what was wrong, and the captain-like person who had just slapped him on the head urged him to open the door together.

The gate of Wancheng was slowly opened by Li Er, and the team of people and horses also slowly entered the city gate, and when his captain just came up to please Lu, he saw that the leader pulled out the long knife hanging on the horse, and the captain was beheaded in a different place with a knife on the head.

And the puzzlement in the captain's eyes before he died made Li Er want to laugh, but he suddenly realized that the world was spinning, as if he was drunk, as if he saw his own body, but why didn't he have a head.

Hey, by the way, what's this man's name? Sun Wen, or Sun Tai?

Li Er still didn't think of Sun Jian in front of him until he died, and turned into a pool of blood along with his confusion and incomprehension.

When Sun Jian violently killed the guards at the city gate, Sun Jian's headquarters immediately occupied the city gate, and with a trumpet, Wancheng ushered in the bloodiest night.

Bo Cai, who heard the sound of the cannon, also sneered: "You, are you finally coming?" Bo has been waiting for you for a long time. With that, he took the sword and walked along the north gate where the sound had come from. At this moment, Zhao Hong is still indulging in his imaginary beautiful future, and he doesn't know what happened.

And Xu Ji heard this sound and looked at the moon that had risen in the sky, smiled slightly, and said to Chen Zhi: "Lang Lang Mingyue, it's a pity that it is so bloody." ”
