Chapter 90: Opportunity for You
Xun You is a rare expert in Cao Jun's who is proficient in both strategy and tactics and has a certain ability to lead alone.
When he was initially attacked by fire, he had been organizing battles, and the soldiers from Yingchuan were relatively calm under his command, and they also fought several counterattacks against Liu Beijun, causing certain losses to Liu Beijun. But his tenacity also attracted Liu Bei's attention, he didn't say a word, and immediately personally led the soldiers to attack Xun You, Xun You hurriedly resisted for a while, and saw that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were all surrounding him, so he could only quickly lead people to run.
Along the way, he kept containing the defeated army, restoring order, and gradually restoring order to the rear team of the Cao army, who had trampled on each other before, and even able to draw a part of the troops to fight a few small ambushes near Wulin, Guan Ping, who had fought with Cao Ren before, also launched a fierce battle with Xun You's men, Guan Ping fought bravely, but the number of people around him was too small, and he finally failed to break through Xun You's defense line.
Guan Ping had been slowly bleeding Cao Jun's behemoth before, and after repelling Guan Ping, Xun You finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that this young general was the plague god of Cao Jun, and it seemed that everything was developing in a good direction if he could repel him.
Although they were defeated in this battle, with Xun You's efforts, the situation of Cao's army has shown signs of improvement, and it is optimistically estimated that they should be able to escape back to Jiangling basically intact, which is already a pretty good result for Cao's army, which has been suffering from internal and external troubles before.
In the Cao army, which has gradually restored order, there is also a group of soldiers who are quite conspicuous.
They were still advancing at a fast pace, and seemed eager to leap to the front of the army.
Xun You's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he ordered the guards around him to go up and intercept them.
"Who are you under the command of you, and you won't stop!"
Amid the chanting of the crowd, the advancing rout finally stopped.
Xun You personally held the torch forward, and was surprised to find that these soldiers were quite neat in armor and blades, and fled here, although everyone was tired on their faces, but their faces were resolute, and they did not look like a rout-you must know that Cao Jun and Liu Beijun were not wearing obviously different armor like in the TV series, all the soldiers wore straight red uniforms, and wore two armors, a few wore armor, and several leading generals wore sleeve armor - it can be seen from this armor rate that this is a quite good elite soldier.
You must know that most of the soldiers of the Cao Army do not wear armor when they are in a hurry or on duty in order to be light, and many people throw away their weapons when they escape along the way, but this rout army can actually move forward with armor and weapons, and it is really a first-class elite soldier.
"Who are you?" Xun You took the initiative to ask.
"Xun Gong, it's me!" Zhang Yun walked forward quickly with his head down, his decadent appearance slightly neutralized the amazing sharpness of these soldiers, making Xun You feel that these soldiers were a lot more normal.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun all have their own cronies and dead soldiers, and it is normal for them to remain unrequited in the war.
Xun You breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly:
"Zhang Dudu, our army was defeated, why didn't you hold on, but led the army to run wildly?"
Zhang Yun smiled bitterly:
"It's not that Zhang is unwilling to fight, but he really has to suffer."
Xun You slowly moved forward, staring at Zhang Yun's eyes:
"Where do you start?"
As soon as the words fell, a cold steel knife was placed on Xun You's neck, Xun You was taken aback, and saw a samurai with a sinister face standing next to Zhang Yun, and he was immediately cold.
"Stop!"
The people around Xun You thought that Zhang Yun was angered by Xun You and was about to step forward to explain, but they never thought that an old and loud voice sounded behind Zhang Yun:
"Is there a Jingzhou Erlang here? The old man Huang Zhong didn't want to kill Er and wait, so he didn't get out of the way quickly! ”
In the firelight, many Jingzhou soldiers who were collected by Xun Yu immediately recognized the gray-haired Huang Zhong, not only not afraid, but also surprised.
"It's General Huang, General Huang has come to save us!"
Huang Zhong was so proud that he couldn't help laughing:
"Yes, yes, the old man is here to take you home!"
Xun You's heart fell into the abyss, he didn't want to be caught, and hurriedly shouted:
"Leave me alone, take down these traitors!"
Xun You also had cronies to protect them, and they had already recovered from their stunned shock, and they all held knives in their hands, and quickly surrounded Zhang Yun and the others.
After all, there were many people in the Cao army, and Xun You's prestige was still there, most of the soldiers of the Cao army's northern army surrounded them, and those who had no weapons also came over to watch, and the scene was very spectacular for a while.
"Zhang Yun, Cao Cheng is not thin compared to you, and it is not your fault that you lost this battle.
Although we were defeated, there were still tens of thousands of troops in Jiangling, and there were enough food, grass, and armor.
How did you and Cai Mao not need me to say much to Liu Bei back then, even if you go, it will be difficult for you to get ahead, and sooner or later you will be calculated.
Thou shalt lay down thy sword, and I will act as if the things of this day had not happened, and I pledge with my life that I will ...... the future."
"Gongda." Zhang Yun smiled bitterly, "Do you think I have the final say?" ”
Xun You's right eyelid jumped suddenly.
His last hope was that all this was Zhang Yun's willful and reckless, and he was absolutely confident that he could persuade Zhang Yun to lay down his weapon, but he raised his head and looked at the undisguised fierce light on the face of the man who was close at hand, and finally understood that he would be wrong.
"What do you call a foot?"
"Wei Yan, the words are long. A cheap name is insulting to listen to. ”
"Wei Yan!" Xun You thundered in his head, "I've heard of you!" I've heard of you! Thou, thou art thou art instructed by whom! Who is it! ”
Of course, Xun You had heard Wei Yan's name.
This Yiyang man is just a reckless man who came to Xiangyang from a poor place to live, and he is only barely a Qu Chang under Wen Ping, and most of the people under his command are poor men who come from Yiyang with him, these people usually let them be beaten and scolded, and even the locals in Jingzhou bully them, and no one believes that these Yiyang soldiers can play a big role.
But it was these people's counterattack that actually played a huge role in Guan Ping's first attack on Jiangling, and according to the soldiers who fled, Wei Yan's martial arts in this battle were even higher than those of Wenpin.
Cao Cao was very angry about this, thinking that there must be a reason for Wei Yan's rebellion, after a bunch of things before, the Cao Army's staff group firmly believed that there must be someone in Jiangling who secretly supported this group of martial artists, otherwise they were abused when they were under Liu Biao, why didn't they rebel, how could they go to Cao Jun and bully them a little and rebel, this is too unreasonable, right?
Wei Yan snorted coldly, the fanaticism on his face became even stronger, the side ridge of the steel knife in his hand was attached to Xun You's face, and he said coldly:
"How could Wei have been instructed by someone? The eldest husband was born in troubled times, or asked for a peaceful sleep, or for fame.
We are in the Ru army, day and night like pigs and dogs, how have the nobles ever heard of my Wei Yan's name?
The public is a great talent, so it's right to say that I changed the court this time? ”
Xun You knew that Wei Yan couldn't be good today, so he simply reached out and gently grabbed the steel knife in Wei Yan's hand, letting the blade slowly imprint a bloody mark on his hand.
"Okay, what a righteous yang warrior, okay, if you have the ability, kill me, kill me, and you will be famous!"
The people around Xun You were inspired by Xun You's bravery, and they all clenched their weapons and shouted:
"Withdraw the knife! If you dare to embarrass with Xun Gong, you will be cut by a thousand knives! ”
"Kneel down quickly and beg for mercy, beware of the sword without eyes."
After all, Cao Jun had a large number of people, and Guan Ping's three hundred people were like boats in the angry waves, and Zhang Yun's heart was numb in horror.
It's over, it's over.
So many people can kill us with one knife and one person!
I said don't rush in, isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, how to get out of this for a while......
Xun You breathed a sigh of relief, what the sages of the heart and path said was indeed true - husband war, courage also.
When Cao Jun's strength was overwhelmingly superior, he was beaten like this because of the collapse of his courage, and now he really suppressed this Yiyang martial artist with his heroic righteousness.
Come on.
Have the ability to kill me.
Cheng killed Bian Rang almost had a big accident, and now Liu Bei has only won for a while, and his foundation is unstable, if he dares to kill me......
Thinking of this, Xun You's face deliberately showed a little frivolity, and sneered:
"Who dares to kill me? Who dares to kill me! ”
Cao Jun roared in unison:
"Let it go! Let go! Let go! ”
Wei Yan's face was as pale as iron.
If it was in the past when he led the troops, he had already slashed Xun You with a knife, but thinking of this consequence, his fingers kept trembling, but he carefully controlled the knife, for fear that the sharp blade would fall on Xun You's neck.
Xun You's heart was also pounding, for fear that this reckless man would ignore it like Xu Chu.
Seeing that the heat was almost there, he immediately snorted coldly, ready to throw off his sleeves and retreat, but he didn't expect a young man to slowly walk out behind Wei Yan.
He took out a knife from his waist and handed it to Xun You with a smile.
Xun You subconsciously held the knife in his hand, and was a little dazed for a while.
"My name is Guan Ping," the young man said with a smile, and everyone around him suddenly breathed, "The junior doesn't dare to commit a crime, so give Xun Gong a chance first." ”
He patted Wei Yan's arm and told him to let go, and he leaned his face to the steel knife in Xun You's hand again, aiming his eyebrows at the sharp cold light.
"Give Xun Gong a chance. I'll count three times to see if Xun Gong dares to kill me. ”
