Jagged Huaxiong

Tao Qian waved his hand towards a tall and thick general beside him, who shouted to Ji Ling at the top of his voice, "Emissary Tao is here!"

Ji Ling rode back and forth on his horse for a few steps, and shouted towards the city: "Tao Shijun, is Liu Bei's younger brother Guan Yu in the city?!"

Tao Qian said to the general, "Tell him, he's not here."

Guan Yu was stunned. He looked at Tao Qian and asked, "Master, this?"

Tao Qian patted Guan Yu's shoulder and said, "Yun Chang, in the autumn of many events, one thing more is worse than one thing less."

Guan Yu was speechless, and the general beside Tao Qian shouted at Ji Ling, "Not here!"

Ji Ling: "What?! Louder! I wouldn't be able to hear you!"

The general had no choice but to roar again: "Not here!"

Ji Ling: "Since he is here, please let him go to the city to talk to me!"

Tao Qian: "..."

Guan Yu: "..."

The general who had just shouted for Tao Qian turned his head and looked at the two of them. He didn't know what to say for a moment. At this moment, Guan Yu shouted to Ji Ling outside the city:

"Guan is here, who is he? What can I teach you?!"

When Ji Ling heard that this was Guan Yu, he pointed at Guan Yu with the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand and said, "Guan Yunchang, listen carefully, I am Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Gonglu. Your elder brother Liu Bei betrayed my lord, you hurry Quickly tie down the city, lest our army attack the city and harm the innocent!"

As soon as Guan Yu heard this, he said coldly to Tao Qian: "Master, Ji Ling is talking nonsense, let me go down to the city and teach him a lesson!"

As he spoke, Guan Yu went down to the city with the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in his hand, and as soon as Guan Yu left, the remaining Xuzhou civil and military officers on the tower looked at Tao Qian in embarrassment. After a long time, the general who had just delivered the message for Tao Qian said:

"Zhou Mu, it seems that you are here not to rescue soldiers, but to trouble you?"

Tao Qian touched his withered white beard with a complicated expression, and watched Guan Yu's back rushing out of the city without saying a word.

Under the city, Guan Yu rode his horse and came to the front of the formation. Ji Ling saw Guan Yu's posture, and rushed up, wielding a three-pointed knife. The two met each other, and Ji Ling shouted first:

"Guan Yunchang, don't be reckless!"

Guan Yu shouted coldly: "You dare to slander my eldest brother, today I will let you know that you can't say anything!"

After the two finished speaking, their horses crossed each other, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife collided with the three-pointed double-edged knife. Ji Ling lost the wind a little. , After more than a dozen rounds, Ji Ling found that he was not Guan Yu's opponent, so he reined in his horse and fled back to the main formation!

Chapter 415 You don't need the territory, but you can't get angry!

Guan Yu didn't chase after him, but asked Ji Ling from behind, "Ji Ling! Let me ask you, why did you slander my elder brother?!"

Seeing that Guan Yu didn't come after him, Ji Ling pulled back the horse, helped the helmet that was about to fall off, and said to Guan Yu:

"Hmph! Bad thief Guan Yu, do you still have the face to ask this general? Your righteous brother Liu Bei has already led the soldiers and horses that my lord gave him to Jiang Xia to throw Liu Biao!"

A look of surprise flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. He just watched Ji Ling run away with cold eyes, and then turned back to the city.

Seeing that Yuan Shu's general, Ji Ling, failed to defeat Guan Yu, everyone in Xuzhou immediately showed joy on their faces, and those who had questioned Guan Yu's martial arts at first felt a little relieved.

Nazhou Mu Taoqian was so happy that his eyes almost narrowed. He held Guan Yu's hand and said, "Yun Chang is good at martial arts, good at martial arts! With Yun Chang here, I am afraid that I will have no worries in Xuzhou!"

Guan Yu begged Tao Qian's hand to be serious and said:

"It's just a mere Ji Ling. It's too early for Mr. Tao to say. The most important thing right now is to let the general familiarize himself with Xuzhou's military affairs as soon as possible, including the deployment of soldiers and horses in each department, and the number of soldiers available in each city. Only in this way can we ensure nothing goes wrong. .”

Tao Qian nodded after hearing this, and he said to the general who had just delivered the message for him: "Zhang Kai, go to the conference hall and briefly talk with General Yun about my military situation in Xuzhou."

Guan Yu looked at the general, and saw that this man had a ferocious face, and there was a scar across half of his face. He didn't look like a benevolent person, so he immediately lost a little respect for Qi.

Zhang Kai said to Guan Yu, "General Yun Chang, please follow me."

"Ah."

Guan Yu nodded with a "huh" and followed Zhang Kai forward. Feeling the negligence in Guan Yu's tone, there was a trace of displeasure in his opened eyes.

Outside the city, Yuan Shujun camp

After Ji Ling was defeated and retreated, he immediately wrote a letter about what happened here and sent it to Yuan Shu on a fast horse. Yuan Shu in Huainan received Ji Ling's news that night.

Yuan Shu was lying on his side on the couch, covered with exquisite brocade, holding Ji Ling's handwriting in his hand. After reading it, Yuan Shu casually threw it on the ground, changed his position and continued to lie down. said:

"Okay, since that's the case, then everyone should stop playing."

"Can't beat Guan Yu, right? Then there must be someone who can beat him?"

"Go, write a letter to the general, and say that I, Yuan Gonggong, are willing to join forces with him and take Xuzhou together."

At this time, Yan Xiang, who was standing under Yuan Shu, hesitated and said: "My lord, if we cooperate with Hua Xiong, that is seeking skin from a tiger!"

"Wow~"

Yuan Shu dozed off, then stretched his waist: "You are right, working with the general is indeed seeking skin from a tiger."

Yan Xiang listened, and suddenly looked at Yuan Shu with some surprise, and wondered in his heart when did his lord become so talkative?Are you listening to other people's advice?

At this time, Yuan Shu went on to say:

"We really don't have the strength to cooperate with the general, so let's tell the general, I, Yuan Shu, am willing to be his pawn to be driven by him, and at the same time willing to give up the land of Yuzhou and Huainan in our hands, but the premise is that he has to lend me a Soldiers and horses, I, Yuan Gonglu, just can't swallow Liu Bei's bad breath!"

This time, not only Yan Xiang, but the other two, Yang Hong and Yuan Huan, could not stand up any longer. Yang Hong stepped forward and said, "My lord, isn't this too childish?"

Yuan Huan followed up and said, "Yes, Gonglu, are you compromising with Hua Xiong?"

Yuan Shu squinted at the two of them, and said three words briskly: "I'm afraid of death."

"What's more, he, Yuan Benchu, has already surrendered, so why should I, Yuan Gonglu, have anything to fear?"

Yang Hong persuaded:

"My lord, when Yuan Shao surrendered, he only had [-] to [-] troops in one county, but we still have half a state, with nearly [-] troops."

After hearing this, Yuan Shu got off the couch, stared at Yang Hong, held his chin in thought for a while, and said:

"Yang Hong, I suddenly realized that what you said was not unreasonable. How about this, you are the commander-in-chief of our army from the beginning, and all the generals, soldiers and horses are dispatched by you. How about you commanding against the general?"

Yang Hong never thought that Yuan Shu would say such a thing, he immediately smiled at Yuan Shu, "My lord, my lord is joking..."

Afterwards, Yuan Shu turned his head to look at Yan Xiang and Yuan Huan, and asked, "Then do you two have such a meaning?"

Yan Xiang and Yuan Huan hurriedly said: "No, no, none of us have such great talent..."

Yuan Shu felt that things were fun just now, but he didn't expect that none of these people who advocated not surrender dared to stand up, and he couldn't help sighing for a moment:
