A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 48

"Kong Ming, after today's incident, do you still think that your master is nothing strange?"

After Du Huo left for a long time, the two of them gradually recovered. Looking at the ajar door, Xu Shu asked with empty eyes.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang turned his head to look at Xu Shu, then shook his head slowly.

I don't know whether he agreed with this move or denied it.

……

The next day, Du Huo led all his soldiers and horses to move, pointing directly at Guiyang and Lingling counties.

During the march, although Du Huo also met Zhuge Liang, he did not say much.

And at this time Xu Shu hadn't left yet, when the army set out, he also followed Zhuge Liang and left Changsha City together.

Xu Shu's sudden appearance also attracted the attention of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.Since the two of them didn't know anything about Du Huo and Xu Shu's affairs, they were respectful to Xu Shu.

Among the two counties, Guiyang was the closest to Changsha City, so after marching for half a day, Du Huo's army had already approached Guiyang City.

In today's Guiyang City, the border defenses are solid, and they are all unsatisfactory.

There are few guards in the city, the total number is less than [-], and only the guard Zhang Ji is stationed here. With such a weak defensive ability, Guiyang City is almost like an empty city in front of Du Huo's army.

At the beginning of the siege of the city by the army, Zhang Ji, the guard, originally planned to close the gate of the city tightly and stand by for help.

Unexpectedly, before half an hour had passed, the gate of Guiyang City had already been breached by Lu Bu's elite troops.

After the city was broken, Du Huo personally led an army into the city of Guiyang, and killed all the defenders in the city within half a day, leaving no one behind!
Duhuo's move immediately overturned everyone's impression of him.They never imagined that Du Huo, who had always been benevolent and righteous, would actually do this to those surrendering soldiers who had already surrendered!

Even Guan Yu felt that this was a bit inappropriate.

On the day when the city was broken, all the generals who had won the first battle gathered in the palace of Guiyang at the invitation of Du Huo.

"I invite everyone to come here today. In fact, there is nothing too important. I just want to chat with everyone casually, and let everyone help me interrogate the enemy general Zhang Ji!"

Du Huo was located at the head of the mansion, and he leaned lazily on the seat without any gesture at all.

For some reason, after confronting Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu that night, Du Huo gradually began to reveal his modern nature.

It was the present time, and everyone in the hall was watching Du Huo with a very strange look.

At this moment, they couldn't help but feel that Duhuo seemed a little different from before. Whether it was his speech, behavior, or work style, they were all very different from before.

"Fengxian, order people to escort Zhang Ji in!"

Du Huo glanced at Lu Bu who was standing aside, but he himself did not move at all.

"Here!"

Lu Bu obeyed the order and left. Not long after, he led two soldiers, escorted the enemy general Zhang Ji, and returned to the palace again.

"Lord, the enemy has brought Zhang Ji!"

Lu Bu saluted and returned to his post, and the process was not sloppy at all.

"Thank you for your hard work! Ladies and gentlemen, the rest of the time will be left to you. Now Lingling City is still guarded by rebel generals.

If there is anyone among you who can talk to Zhang Ji and serve our army, I would like to give him a hundred gold on the spot as a reward! "

As soon as Du Huo said these words, everyone was shocked.Du Huo's trick of offering a reward in public for meritorious deeds was unheard of by everyone present.

A reward of one hundred gold is not a small sum.Not to mention everyone present, even Zhang Ji, the enemy general, couldn't help but feel a little ready to move when he heard these words.

"Mr. Xuande, are you serious?"

However, just when everyone was shocked by Du Huo's words.As a guest, Xu Shu asked Du Huo such a question in full view of everyone.

Hearing this, Du Huo first squinted his eyes and looked Xu Shu up and down, then nodded slowly to express his affirmation.

"That's the case, can you allow me to try it?" Xu Shu asked.

"Please go ahead!" Du Huo waved his hand casually, which was somewhat perfunctory.

"Here!"

Xu Shu could tell that Du Huo didn't seem very willing to ask him to do this.

Even if Xu Shu could persuade Zhang Ji, Du Huo was also reluctant to let Xu Shu be the leader.

It's just that the words have already been said after all.And in front of so many people, no matter how unhappy Du Huo was, he might not be able to refuse Xu Shu.

After all, Du Huo still understands the truth of the joke.Therefore, there is absolutely no need for him to lose the big because of the small.

On the other hand, Xu Shu, after he got Du Huo's permission, he directly launched a fierce offensive against Zhang Ji.

At this moment, Zhang Ji's hands and feet were bound, and he looked listless, as if he couldn't cheer up for anything.

Xu Shu walked around Zhang Ji and looked up and down at the general dressed as a scholar in front of him.

Zhang Ji was originally Dong Zhuo's subordinate, but after the collapse of Dong Zhuo's group, he fled around, separated one side, and gradually grew into a warlord force.

According to historical records, in 196 AD, Zhang Ji was short of food in the army, so he sent troops to plunder Liu Biao in Jingzhou. When attacking Rangcheng in Nanyang County, he was killed by an arrow.

After Zhang Ji's death, his nephew Zhang Xiu inherited the soldiers and horses, and was later surrendered by Cao Cao.

However, in this world, instead of dying in the hands of Liu Biao, Zhang Ji still struggled to survive until now, and finally became the defeated opponent of Du Huo.

According to Xu Shu's knowledge, since Dong Zhuo's defeat, Zhang Ji has been wandering around in Jingzhou for these years.

During this period, he followed Li Jue and Guo Si for most of the time. Although they were equal in status, they were still different from each other.

On the eve of the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's power gradually expanded to Jingzhou.

In order to avoid its sharp edge, the three of them have been fighting cautiously and timidly.

It wasn't until they met Lu Bu who was also on the run that their courage expanded slightly.

Later, there was the battle of Lu Bu's ingenious capture of Fancheng.

And it was precisely because of the Battle of Fancheng that they gradually became entangled with Du Huo. To this day, this entanglement has still not been resolved.

"Dare to ask, does General Zhang have the courage to die generously?"

After making a circle, Xu Shu stood on the left side of Zhang Ji and asked indifferently.

Hearing this, Zhang Ji couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xu Shu, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"No intention!" Xu Shu smiled slightly, "I just want to see the general's courage!"

"You are looking down on me! A man is born a human being, so there is nothing to fear in death!"

Zhang Ji was enraged by Xu Shu's words, taking advantage of his anger, Zhang Ji also said something bold!
