Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

Ning Rong smiled mysteriously, and led everyone to the bank of Qingshui River.

"The last general pays his respects to the military advisor, general!"

Xiao Shan came out from nowhere, looking at Ning Rong excitedly.

"Huh? Xiao Shan, you... aren't you in Nanshan? Why are you here?"

Xu Huang was taken aback when he saw his lieutenant general, why did this guy come here.

"General, this was arranged by the military division..."

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, talk to the boat!" Ning Rong quickly waved his hands.

"Is the ship ready?" Ning Rong asked Xiao Shan.

"Report to the military division, there are a total of 110 large ships, [-] four small boats, and several bamboo rafts, which can ensure the passage of the army, and the last general will hand over the order!" Xiao Shan's face tightened, and he handed the order arrow to Ning Rong.

Chapter 854 Said Ning Rong, Ning Rong arrived!

"Very good! Get on board!"

Without Ning Rong's instructions, Xu Huang and Xiao Shan commanded the army to board the ship and go down the river until the last soldier boarded the ship, then Ning Rong led Lu Xun and others onto the ship.

"Your Majesty is the king of Wei, so you should never put your safety at risk like this!"

Sima Yi straightened his clothes and advised Ning Rong.

"Oh?" Ning Rong was a little taken aback, but when he saw that it was Sima Yi, he nodded, "The soldiers have worked hard on the battlefield, and this Marquis should treat them equally. Besides... the Han Sui at this moment will definitely not think that we will go by water."

Ning Rong's words were accompanied by the sound of water rushing down towards the Wei River.

"The battle of Jieting has won a complete victory, and General Xiao has done a great job! In the future, this Marquis will definitely report to the King of Wei!"

"The last will not dare!"

Xiao Shan had a delicate complexion, if it wasn't for his blood-red armor, he wouldn't be able to tell that he was the general who ambushed Yan Xing.

"Hehe...it is the principle of this Marquis to be rewarded for meritorious service, but...this Marquis still has an important task here. I wonder if General Xiao dares to do it?"

Ning Rong rubbed his nose and smiled strangely. Lu Xun and the others looked at each other and retreated quietly, thinking in their hearts, how did the victory in the battle of Jieting come about?

... But time goes back to a few days ago, when Xia Houyuan of Tianshui County led a large army to fight against Ma Chao's Xiliang army. Although Xia Houyuan beat Ma Chao by surprise with a surprise soldier, Ma Chao suddenly raised a banner, and tens of thousands of Yuan Xiliang The Liang army surrendered and rebelled, and killed Xia Houyuan unexpectedly.

So the two are evenly matched.

At this critical moment, Zhao Yun led the left-leading army and suddenly appeared on the battlefield like heavenly soldiers. Ma Chao made a decisive decision and immediately led the army to retreat.

In Jixian County, Cao Jun's central army tent is not at all joyful of victory at this moment. Ma Chaojun suffered heavy losses, but he was not injured. Ma Teng even cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Longxi. Now their army is really Is alone.

Moreover, the more than 4 Cao troops spent a lot of food and grass every day. As time went by, the food and grass of the army had bottomed out. If they hadn't won the previous battle by luck and harvested a lot of horses, they had to kill the horses and eat them now.

Of course, although the army's rations are now horse meat, they are war horses from Xiliang. Although Cao Jun's war horses are in short supply, those horses have no choice but to be used for the army's belly because their hooves are useless.

"puff……"

A mouthful of blood spewed out, and Xia Houyuan only felt a burst of angina. When he just woke up, he looked at the room with self-blame and hurt, his eyes darkened, and Xia Houyuan passed out again.

"Great Governor... Great Governor..."

"General..."

All the generals in the room looked at Xia Houyuan, who had just shown a little surprise, but then turned back to disappointment and worry.

"General Zhao, the governor has been seriously ill for six days, and the soldiers outside are panicking now! What should we do if this continues!"

"Yes! There was Ma Chao in the front and Ma Teng in the back. Now we are in a dilemma..."

The room was full of panic. In that battle, Xia Houyuan couldn't dodge in time, and was injured by Ma Chao's tiger-headed gold gun. Because he was covered with armor at that time, and it was before the two armies confronted each other, Xia Houyuan naturally couldn't show any strangeness. It was not discovered by the generals.

However, after the army returned to Ji County, Xia Houyuan spurted out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground.

At that time, everyone was terrified. Xia Houyuan was the governor of Guanzhong and a brother of Cao Cao's family. It can be said that the future of the entire Guanzhong army was in Xiahouyuan's hands. If something happened to him, they would definitely bear Cao Cao's wrath.

Everyone rushed to carry Xia Houyuan to the bedroom, and then the guards rushed out of the mansion yelling, and arrested all the doctors in the city. They took various pulses, acupuncture, and medicine, and took care of them day and night. Although Xia Houyuan's face was deathly pale, his faint aura made people feel hopeful.

The generals outside heard the movement from inside, so they hurried to inquire about it, for fear that something might happen unexpectedly, but in the end...

"Oh! General Zhao..."

All the generals in the room looked at Zhao Yun. In terms of rank, after Xia Houyuan fell ill as the governor, Zhao Yun, as the left leading general, was the highest position in the group. Naturally, this heavy responsibility fell on his shoulders.

As the saying goes, there are thousands of people in a family, one person in charge, and the governor has fallen, so what should they do next?

"General, the last general thinks that he should send troops immediately to wash Nan'an County with blood, and kill ten thousand or eight thousand of Ma Chao's army, so as to avenge the governor!"

The general yelled indignantly, staring at Zhao Yun with his saber in his hand.

"No! The general must not act rashly. Now that the situation is complicated and the army is short of food and grass, it is better to return to Chang'an first, and then discuss the strategy of destroying the enemy!"

Some are brave and aggressive, full of righteous indignation, while others are calm and calm, thinking about the way out of the army at present.

"send troops?"

"No troops?"

Zhao Yun looked at the messy people in the room, no one could convince anyone, as if he was about to quarrel again, this was not the first time this happened.

Zhao Yun frowned, feeling extremely anxious. The secret envoy sent to contact Ning Rong has not responded so far, and Xia Houyuan is ill, so he is really afraid that he will not be able to hold on.

……

"Hey! Be quiet, everyone! The governor is awake!" At this critical moment, Liu Ruo suddenly shouted, instantly quieting everyone down.

"Great governor~~"

All the soldiers rushed to the bed and looked at Xia Houyuan closely.

At this moment, Xia Houyuan's complexion was pale, without any trace of blood, he was panting weakly, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he raised his hand with difficulty.

"What? Commander, what did you say?" The generals couldn't hear clearly.

"...Water..." Zhao Yun was the first to discover Xia Houyuan's intentions, lifting his finger to point at the chapped lips.

"Quick! Get water!"

Xia Houyuan sucked greedily, and it took a long time to barely open his eyes, looked at the crowd slightly, and said hoarsely.

"Quickly invite Army Division Ning to come and command the army!" Xia Houyuan's words made everyone see hope instantly.
