Chapter 3: The Crisis Has Arrived

persuaded Mi Zhu to return to Jiangling, and Huo Yi returned non-stop along the way.

All the way through the Yi Road, the Zhijiang River, on the bank of the Nanzhang River and the clan brothers who led the troops to the east to converge.

"Ah Yi, what's wrong?"

After jumping off his horse and standing firm, Hawking asked first.

Hearing this, Huo Yi wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, panting and saying, "Brother, don't worry, everything is fine!" ”

After the words fell, he immediately asked with concern, "Can you send the letter from Jingzhou to the front line in Xiangfan?" ”

"I've sent someone for my brother."

Hawking said slowly, with a suspicious look on his face, "Why did Ah Yi inform the major general of this letter instead of directly reporting it to General Guan?" ”

"No~ General Guan is quite arrogant, this time he flooded the Seventh Army and made a lot of gains, he must have been full of ambition in his heart at this time, and he must have looked at the generals of Cao Ying as if they were nothing, and they slammed Fancheng to death."

"Otherwise, why would General Guan order the rear garrison to go north to assist, so that Jingzhou is completely empty?"

"Brother, I'm afraid that this letter sent to General Guan won't let him pay attention to it for a while, so he will miss the best opportunity to return to help."

Huo Yi shook his head and responded, saying his plan, "And the young general has always been calm, if he receives a dangerous situation in the rear, he will deal with this matter decisively." ”

"I see~ It's still a good brother who thinks thoughtfully, and he can't do it for his brother!"

After hearing this, Hawking was sincerely amazed, his brother had thoroughly pondered the temperament of the Guan family and his son.

"Brother praised it falsely~"

Huo Yi smiled on his face and responded softly.

"We have crossed the Nanzhang River this time, and we are less than twenty miles away from Jiangling, what should we do next?"

After solving the mystery, Hawking quickly inquired about his next plan.

As soon as the words fell, Huo Yi had already premeditated his order, "First send scouts to secretly hide around Jiangling City to quietly listen to the truth, and be extra vigilant against those who come downstream along the river." ”

After a brief explanation, he then said, "My brother is hiding outside the city, and all suspicious people will be closely monitored, but remember not to startle the snake." ”

"My brother led his troops into the city to control the overall situation."

"Huh? There is Jiangdong Neiying in the city, isn't it dangerous for the virtuous brother to enter the city? ”

When Hawking heard this, his face suddenly changed and he said.

"Brother, don't worry, not all people in Gangneung City have surrendered, and the purpose of my brother's entry into the city this time is to integrate the forces in the city so that the enemy can stabilize people's hearts when the enemy attacks."

Huo Yi showed a rather calm expression and waved his hand.

"Okay then~ Brother Xian must be careful."

After the order was given, the two brothers split into two routes.

Huo Yi led most of the troops straight to the city of Jiangling.

When he arrived outside the city, he was shocked by the defense of Gangneung City.

The scale of the city occupies an area of about a few zhang, and the city wall is built of blue bricks, which is quite strong.

"Who is the one who comes down from the city?"

Just when Huo Yi looked at the surrounding city defenses, the troops of hundreds of people were still too conspicuous, and they were naturally quickly noticed by the defenders of the city.

Huo Yi listened to the familiar tone, raised his head and shouted, "Is it Brother Yuan Jian in the city?" ”

"I am Bo Liaohua, the lord under General Guan, is Shaoxian?"

Listening to the sound and recognizing people, Liao Hua also noticed that the figure under the city was quite familiar, and responded quickly.

"It's down there!"

After the two sides found out each other's identities, Liao Hua ordered his subordinates to open the city gate to greet them.

Huo Yi led his troops into the city, clasped hands with Liao Hua on the side of the city gate, and said with a suspicious expression: "Brother Yuan Jian, as the master of General Guan's account, how can he personally guard the city now?" ”

"Oh~ Originally, after the main force raised troops for the Northern Expedition, the important task of defending the city was taken care of by the Nanjun Taishou, but General Guan couldn't rest assured, so he asked the major general to assist in defending the city."

"But the battle on the front line is stalemate, Fancheng has not been down for a long time, and General Guan ordered the major general to lead a group to the north to support, and before leaving, the major general specially instructed me to defend strictly."

"I see~"

As soon as the words fell, a look of sudden realization appeared on Huo Yi's face.

"Shaoxian's filial piety for General Huo has expired?"

When these words fell, Huo Yi responded with a smile, "Yes~ The period of filial piety expires, and the king orders the king to seal the throne to inherit the position of general of his father, and lead the old department to assist in the defense to prevent Jingzhou from losing!" ”

After saying that, he glanced around again and pulled him to a secluded place, which made Liao Hua suspicious.

Huo Yi then lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Brother Yuan Jian, do you know that Jingzhou is in danger of overturning?" ”

"Huh? What does Shao Xian mean by this? ”

After hearing this, Liao Hua suddenly said with a puzzled look on his face.

"To tell you the truth, the king originally ordered me to take my headquarters to the front line to assist General Guan in attacking Fancheng."

"Then why did Shaoxian come to Jiangling?"

Liao Hua asked suspiciously.

"On the eve of departure, Yi received suspicious people from the lower reaches of the river in the vicinity of Gangneung in recent days."

"If Yi Yi is not bad as expected, these people must be spies sent by Lu Meng to spy on the truth and reality, ready to attack my Jingzhou at any time."

Huo Yi knew that the original owner had always had a close relationship with Liao Hua, and this time Jingzhou was between life and death, and if he wanted to rectify Mi Fang, the traitor, he would have to need his help, after all, he was the main one.

As Huo Yi said with a serious expression, Liao Hua's face suddenly sank, "No wonder I said that there are always people in the city who come and go from time to time recently." ”

"Could it be that these people are Wu Jun spies?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, the Sun clan in Jiangdong has always coveted the land of Jingzhou, and this time the rear is empty, and Lu Meng, who is stationed at Lukou, is bound to plot secretly."

Huo Yi looked solemn and said in a deep voice.

"I'm going to arrange for people to wipe out all the Wu army spies who sneaked into the city."

After thinking for a while, Liao Hua quickly had an idea.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yi waved his hand to stop, and responded, "No~ Now that the rear garrison is weak, General Guan is far away in Xiangfan for a while and a half, and it will be difficult to return to help." ”

"If we startle the snake, I'm afraid that Jiangdong will not hide it and directly raise a large army to attack Jingzhou."

"This move is very disadvantageous to our army!"

When these words fell, Liao Huaxiang asked, "What does Yi Shaoxian mean?" ”

"I will temporarily block the news before I lead my troops into the city, and don't disclose it to everyone in the city."

"Then Brother Yuan Jian secretly dispatched people to closely monitor the surroundings of Mi Mansion, and quietly arrested as soon as he found that there were suspicious people entering and leaving the mansion."

"Yi hides on the tower of the city, waiting for the opportunity to move."

Huo Yi had planned his actions before entering the city, and he was also telling the story at this time.

Liao Hua is not an ignorant person, and quickly gained insight into the suspicion from his words, "Shao first suspected that Nanjun Taishou was a traitor?" ”

"It's a suspicion for the time being, but as long as everyone gets the stolen goods, it's certain."

After that, Huo Yi said with confidence on his face, "Brother Yuan Jian must believe in Yi once,"

As if seeing the firmness in his eyes through his gaze, Liao Hua pondered for a long time, took a deep breath and said, "Okay~"

"If you wronged Nanjun Taishou, I will ask General Guan for guilt in the future!"

"Thank you Brother Yuanjian for your trust, and I will live up to it."
