Jagged Huaxiong

Di Qing looked at Cao Hong coldly and said, "General Cao, if General Zhang begged you this way in Anyi City today, would you let his Liangzhou soldiers go?"

"The two armies are at war, and each is the master. If they lose, they will have to pay the price."

"Besides, the reason why you have the chance to save 8000 people today is because you didn't kill General Zhang Xiu. Otherwise, the land today will be a mass grave for tens of thousands of people next year."

As soon as Di Qing's words fell, Cao Hong's face turned ashen. After a long time, he picked up the knife that Di Qing threw on the ground, and was about to turn around when Zhang Xiu, who had been silent all this time, spoke:

"General, although I have never seen you in the general's tent, today I, Zhang Xiu, want to ask for favors from the general, and I ask the general to be lenient."

Di Qing looked at Zhang Xiu and said, "Say it."

At this time, Zhang Xiu was ashamed and said: "This incident in Anyi is my incompetence. It has caused my lord to lose nearly ten thousand soldiers, and it has also delayed my lord's important event of sending troops to merge with the state. An elite teacher, otherwise, I'm afraid I will live in guilt in the future."

Di Qing thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "In that case, write a letter in hand and ask the Lord for his opinion."

After Di Qing finished speaking, Cao Hong turned to look at Zhang Xiu, and saluted him very respectfully.

Chapter 275

Zhang Xiu looked at Cao Hong bowing to him coldly, and said, "General Cao, it's too early to salute. Many people like you will still die."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu walked slowly towards Anyi City. He wanted to go back to the city to rectify the remaining defenders.

Gao Shun looked at Di Qing and asked:

"Without your [-] cavalry, I'm afraid that Anyi won't be able to stabilize, so why don't we go to find Marquis Wen?"

Di Qing replied, "Retire today and set off tomorrow."

Gao Shun: "What if something happens again in Anyi?"

Di Qing: "No, without the support from the other side of the Yellow River, how could it be possible for Cao Hong and these 1 unarmed captives to stir up trouble under Zhang Xiu, who led the [-] elite Xiliang army?"

Gao Shun: "The other side of the Yellow River? You mean, the general..."

At this time, on the south bank of Huangnan, outside Tongguan, two cavalry of [-] people were rapidly heading towards Luoyang.

Dongjun, Puyang City.

Xun Yu broke in from the outside with an anxious expression on his face. At this time, only Guo Jia was looking at a map hanging on the wall with his back behind his back.

"Feng Xiao, what a disaster!"

Guo Jia asked, "But General Zilian was defeated?"

Xun Yu walked up to Guo Jia, and asked, "You guessed it, right now you can't help but fail to cut off the forces of Shangdang and Hua Xiong, and instead put General Zilian in danger, my lord..."

Guo Jia took Xun Yu's arm and said, "Wen Ruo, don't panic, they took our General Zi Lian, we will take another general from him."

Xun Yu stabilized his mind first, and then said: "No, Xu Huang from Shangdang still didn't move. Watched for two days."

Guo Jia said: "Wen Ruo, when did I say that we want to take Xu Huang?"

When Xun Yu heard this, he followed Guo Jia's eyes to look at the map, and found that although Guo Jia was staring at Shangdang County, Changzhi didn't seem to be where he was looking.

Shangdang County, Changzhi.

Xu Huang was sitting in the prefect's mansion. At this time, the military report from Hedong was already a foot thick. Xu Huang's battalion generals came to Xu Huang anxiously many times, but they were all rejected by Xu Huang. outside the door.

When Zhang Yang left, it could be said that he emptied the granaries and government treasuries in the cities of Shangdang County. Xu Huang's army entered Shangdang that day, but he only carried three days' rations with him. It seemed that two days would pass soon. The whole army is about to stop cooking.

The generals of the various ministries were so anxious that they all asked to fight back to Hedong, but Xu Huang refused them all.

At this moment, Xu Huang was staring at the map on the table in front of him with gloomy eyes.

From Hedong to Shangdang, there are many mountains on the road, it is very easy for others to set up an ambush, and I have cavalry on my side. If I am ambushed here, I am afraid that I will not even have the power to fight back.

After a while, Xu Huang shouted to the door: "Come here!"

Two personal guards came forward, and Xu Huang ordered one of them: "Let the food officer in the army come to see me."

"promise!"

The guard retreated in response, and then Xu Huang asked another guard: "Send scouts to patrol the direction of the courtyard on the other side. If there is any news, just pass it to me."

"promise!"

After the two guards left, Xu Huang stared at the map again. He kept moving his fingers around Changzhi, Huguan, Tianjingguan, and Hedong. Where is the omission.

Could it be Huguan?

Xu Huang thought about Subotai's performance in the previous battles. After a long time, he called in a personal guard again and ordered: "Let Liu Qianhu pass on the general's order to Huguan again with a carrier pigeon!"

"promise!"

Liu Qianhu in Xu Huang's mouth is a Jinyiwei Qianhu who followed Xu Huang.

Huguan at this time is peaceful.

Su Butai also learned of the news of the attack on Hedong. At this time, Su Butai was pacing back and forth in his handsome tent, unlike Xu Huang, Su Butai set off early. After tonight, if there is no follow-up If there is no army ration supply, then tomorrow morning this pot will run out of food.

Thanks to the fact that there was still some food in Qu Yi's camp before, it could be temporarily supplied and supported for a longer period of time.

Thinking of Hua Xiong and Xu Huang's orders to him are to stick to the Huguan, Su Butai couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and a cowardly Xue army scout ran into Subotai's tent, and said to Subotai, "General Qi! The brothers outside the pass have arrived!"

Subotai suddenly became excited, and hurried forward and asked:

"Where?!"

"Sixty miles southeast of Huguan, there is a granary with grain in it!"

"The news is reliable?!"

"Reliable! Two brothers even sneaked in to have a look. There are six stacks, all of which are full!"

"Okay, you go down."

"promise."

After the scout left, Subotai came to Yang Chun's tent, coughed lightly, and Yang Chun came out from the tent. As soon as the two met, Yang Chun took the lead to salute Subotai and asked Subotai intention.

Subotai told Yang Chun that the scouts had just found the granary outside the pass. Yang Chun bowed his head in thought for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly. However, Yang Chun did not agree with Subotai to lead the troops there himself. He picked up two thousand cavalry and handed them over to Yang Chun, and then Yang Chun led the two thousand cavalry out of Huguan.

That night, Subotai stood on the gate tower looking at the night outside the pass, and did not go down the gate tower until midnight.

Until dawn, Yang Chun still didn't come back. At this time, he probably knew in his heart that something must have happened. Otherwise, the 120-mile journey back and forth would not have come back overnight.
