I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 290
Jia Xu didn't sleep all night.

This night, in his mind, he was always in a conflict between heaven and man, in a dilemma.

He felt extremely uneasy in his heart.

After tossing and turning all night, Jia Xu finally made a decision.

The sky had just dawned, and he immediately greeted Jia Hong and several Sima and Qu Junhous under his command to his tent.

"Withdraw troops for a hundred miles?"

After hearing Jia Xu's order, several Sima and military marquis present were shocked.

General Niu fought the enemy last night, but now his own side is retreating. Isn't this a clear statement to the general?Looking back, these people want to be killed or cut, isn't it all a matter of General Niu's words.

After hearing this, Jia Hong couldn't help but heaved a long sigh.

Patriarch, after all, he has not overcome his inner demons, what a pity, what a pity.

But a Sima asked Jia Xu, "Lieutenant! If General Niu will be held accountable for his actions in the future and punish us for our crimes, what should we do?"

When Jia Xu heard this, she was a little silent.

Later, Fang listened to him and said: "It's okay, this is General Niu's order. He told us to retreat for a hundred miles, and then he made another call. You don't have to doubt it, just follow it. If you turn around, I will blame you for what the general has done." Take it on yourself, and do it quickly!"

Although Jia Xu's subordinates were slightly puzzled, since Jia Xu had already said so and issued a death order, they had no choice but to follow suit.

After these people went out, Jia Xu finally let go of his mind.

He gently rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Finally, I can finally sleep peacefully."

Hearing what Jia Xu said, Jia Hong couldn't help but laugh.

It's obvious that you are looking for something to do when you have nothing to do, scaring yourself, and in the end it seems like you have settled a big and difficult matter, who won't let you sleep?
My father-in-law, what should I say, is really as timid as a mouse.

At this moment, I saw a guard suddenly rushing into the account!
He shouted to Jia Xu in horror: "Captain! There are enemy troops coming to attack the camp!"

Hearing this, Jia Xu was suddenly dumbfounded.

And Jia Hong was also a little at a loss.

How can it be?It's just out of the night, and someone came?

"Which army is the opponent? Jizhou Army? Or Bao Xin and Qiao Mao?"

The guard said in a panic: "The opponent's banner is to fight Guan Yu, Lieutenant of Liaodong vassal state!"

Although Jia Xu has never been to Hebei, he knows to some extent who the famous military generals in the states and counties of Hebei are.

Guan Yu's reputation is very high in Youzhou, and he and Gongsun Zan are both ranked high. They are frontier fortresses who defended the Han Dynasty against Xianbei.

Now that such a character appeared in front of his barracks, there was no doubt that his side could not be his opponent at all!
Jia Xu panicked immediately, he got up hastily and said, "Follow me out to have a look!"

After saying that, Jia Xu led Jia Hong and several guards out of the tent.

At this moment, after Guan Yu's army had assembled on the shore, it had already entered the camp of the Xiliang Army!
Guan Yu's soldiers and horses are not many, only a thousand or so, while Jia Xu's soldiers and horses are two thousand.

In terms of quantity, Jia Xu's soldiers and horses are twice as many as Guan Yu's, but his combat power may not be stronger than Guan Yu's.

The quality of the soldiers of the two armies is naturally important, but the most important thing is the general's ability to use troops and his strategy before the battle.

As for Guan Yu, he is intentional and unintentional. At the same time, he is also a powerful general in the world. These thousand elite soldiers are all elites who have practiced for a long time in Youzhou. They have followed him in fierce battles on the border all the year round. It is the soldier who knows the general, and the general knows the soldier.

Guan Yu told them to go east, so they could poke a hole in the sky to the east.

Guan Yu told them to go west, and they would be able to tear the west side apart.

Although Jia Xu is wise and scheming, but when it comes to the ability to use troops and arrange troops, he is far behind Guan Yu.

After all, he still uses strategy as his forte, and leading troops to fight is not his forte.

To put it bluntly, these two people are not on the same level at all.

At this moment, Guan Yu was like a god descending to earth. He was riding on a war horse, and the saber in his hand was flying back and forth, constantly killing the Xiliang soldiers who rushed towards him.

Guan Yu has no one in his command, the Qinglong Saber opens and closes wide, and its strength is unparalleled. Every time the blade strikes, blood is bound to be seen.

Driven by Guan Yu, the thousand Youzhou sergeants also had high morale and were full of killing intent.

The sergeants in Hebei were intentional in their mental calculations, and the soldiers accompanied Guan Yu in the enemy's camp to conflict with the hastily organized defense system of the Xiliang Army.

The defense of the Xiliang army was useless in front of them. Guan Yu led the soldiers with bravery, and in the shortest time, stimulated the soldiers' fighting power and fighting spirit to the highest level.

Although the Xiliang army is not weak, but they lack souls at the moment, and they don't have excellent generals to command them to fight, resulting in a huge difference in the combat power of the two sides.

Jia Xu is not a person who can lead troops to fight, he just glanced at the battle situation in the camp, and he knew it in his heart.

Seeing that his two thousand troops were on the verge of total collapse, he immediately realized that this was not a place to stay for long.

Jia Xu is not in the mood to accompany these soldiers to die. He doesn't have enough courage to fight the enemy. There is only one thing he has to do now, and that is to sneak away!

"Quickly leave with me!" Jia Xu told Jia Hong without hesitation.

After hearing Jia Xu's shameless military order, Jia Hong didn't hesitate because he knew his master very well.

If at this moment Jia Xu said that Jia Hong would prepare swords and horses for him, and that he would go to the front to fight the Hebei army in person, then Jia Hong would think it was a strange thing.

The Xiliang Army without the commander-in-chief would not be successful at all. In the face of Guan Yu and other powerful forces, their defeat was only a matter of time.

Guan Yu defeated the Xiliang army with great speed, and then he personally captured a military marquis of the Xiliang army and asked, "Where is Jia Xu?"

That Junhou was also a stubborn man, and he spat heavily at Guan Yu: "You dog thief, how could I betray the whereabouts of the captain to you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guan Yu swung his knife and chopped off his head directly.

Then Guan Yu once again led people to arrest people in the camp.

The Xiliang Military Academy were stubborn. After Guan Yu arrested several people, no matter whether these people really knew Jia Xu's whereabouts or not, they would rather die than tell, as long as they worked hard with Guan Yu.

Although these people were all killed by Guan Yu in the end, Guan Yu felt a little admiration for them in his heart.

The Xiliang army is a powerful army in the world, and there is indeed a reason for it.

After Guan Yu beheaded several Xiliang military academies in succession, he didn't see these people tell Jia Xu's whereabouts, so he couldn't help being curious.

Don't these people know where Jia Xu is?
Later, Guan Yu stopped using this method. He was afraid that Jia Xu would escape, so he divided his troops into three groups and chased the traces of the Xiliang army's defeated soldiers in the camp. path.

Guan Yu beheaded the enemy all the way, and before he rode his horse to the big tent deep in the camp, he didn't even get off his horse, he just rode his horse in.

The big tent is empty, there is nothing, it is already empty.

Seeing this, Guan Yu was very anxious.

Liu Jian did not arrange any difficult tasks for Guan Yu in this battle. He just asked Guan Yu to find a way to capture Jia Xu alive. Will make the others laugh their ass off.

Guan Yu was anxious, and then he galloped out of the big tent, ready to search in the direction where the Xiliang soldiers fled.

At this moment, Jushou from behind chased him up with his personal guards on horseback.

"Yun Chang, did you ever catch Jia Xu?"

Guan Yu said guiltily, "Oh, I'm really ashamed that I didn't catch this beast!"

Jushou didn't blame him, he just raised his hand and pointed to the north: "I have been hearing from my lord that Jia Xu is a resourceful man. If he is a master, he will not go by land if he is fleeing at this moment. If you are running on land, if your target is too big, you will be easily overtaken by our army. If I were him, I would flee to the water!"

Guan Yu suddenly realized when he heard this.

He said to Jushou: "What Mr. said is very reasonable! Guan Mou will chase north!"

Ju Shou said: "This is just my own thinking, but Jia Xu may not do it. Yunchang still needs to divide his troops, and he must send people everywhere to chase him!"

Guan Yu heard the words and said, "Sir, what you said is very kind!"

Afterwards, Guan Yu divided the soldiers and horses into four groups, and chased them in four directions respectively. He himself followed Ju Shou's instructions and rushed to the direction of the Yellow River!
On the other side, under the protection of Jia Hong, Jia Xu, dressed in the uniform of an ordinary soldier, fled in embarrassment towards the north ferry along with a group of troops of the Xiliang Army.

Sure enough, the wise men have the same concerns!

He and Jushou wanted to go together.

In Jia Xu's view, the chance of escaping by land is slim, and the hope of escaping by water is better.

It's a pity that they just ran to the ferry, and before they saw a boat, they heard a violent sound of horseshoes behind them, and the ground seemed to be trembling.

Jia Xu's face turned pale, and he didn't need to turn his head to know that Guan Yu's cavalry must be chasing him.

Jia Hong looked back, only to see a general in front of him wearing scale armor, holding a green dragon knife, galloping majestically on his horse, it was Guan Yu.

Seeing Guan Yu chasing him, the Xiliang soldiers panicked and fled in all directions. At this time, none of the brave Liangzhou soldiers dared to face Guan Yu's sharp edge.

But Guan Yu did not kill them. He rode his horse to the river and ordered the soldiers to line up!
He himself clamped the horse's belly hard, causing the horse to neigh loudly before standing up.

"Anyone who dares to escape will be killed without mercy!"

Guan Yu's loud shout resounded on the river bank and reached the ears of every Xiliang soldier who wanted to escape.

Facing Guan Yu who was like a god coming down to earth, Xiliang soldiers threw down their weapons one after another, knelt down on the spot, and shouted loudly: Spare me!
Jia Xu also knelt down along with those Xiliang soldiers. He lowered his head and curled up, not daring to make a sound.

The people Guan Yu swept back and forth, seeing that they were all dressed in the uniform of ordinary Xiliang soldiers, did not become suspicious.

"Do you know where Jia Xu is?"

Facing Guan Yu's questioning, the soldiers all shook their heads and shouted: I don't know.

As soon as Guan Yu pulled the rein, he was about to go elsewhere.

Before he was about to leave, Guan Yu suddenly thought of something again and stopped his horse.

He thought to himself: Since Jia Xu is a scheming person like his elder brother said, if he pretends to be an ordinary soldier and mixes with the deserters, won't he get away with it?
Thinking of this, Guan Yu turned his head to look at these Xiliang soldiers present.

After that, I saw Guan Yu coming slowly on horseback and standing still in front of the soldiers.

He glanced majestically at the soldiers present.

Even if he is dressed like an ordinary soldier, Jia Xu is still a scholar. There must be a difference in temperament and appearance between a scholar and an ordinary Liangzhou soldier. As long as he is careful, Guan will not be mistaken!
So Guan Yu ordered these Xiliang soldiers to stand in a row. He rode his horse slowly and walked past these people, looking at them one by one.
After a while, Guan Yu walked up to Jia Xu and Jia Hong.

After just looking around for a while, Guan Yu felt that there was something wrong with these two people.

No matter in terms of stature, temperament or other aspects, these two people did not look like ordinary soldiers to Guan Yu, the gap was too great.

Guan Yu slowly raised the Green Dragon Saber, pointed at Jia Xu and Jia Hong back and forth, and said, "Show me your two hands!"

When Jia Xu heard Guan Yu say this, his heart suddenly turned cold.

But he still stretched out his hands obediently, but with the palms facing upwards.

Jia Hong next to him also followed Jia Xu's example and stretched out his palm.

Guan Yu's icy voice came: "Turn the back of your hand!"

Jia Xu and Jia Hong turned their hands over helplessly.

After watching for a while, Guan Yu showed a relieved smile.

"Who are you two?"

Jia Xu said: "We are ordinary soldiers, please spare our lives."

Ordinary sergeant?
Guan Yu narrowed his Danfeng eyes, and said coldly: "In the bitter cold of Liangzhou, the backs of the hands of ordinary soldiers are covered with calluses, but look at the hands of the two of you, how can they look like they have suffered hardships? It's not true. !"
