Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 413 Battle of the Lujiang River (7)

Wen Chou, who was on the side, didn't care much about Guo Jia's words. He smiled and said, "Military commander! In my opinion, you are too easy to get into a dead end! Look at the Lujiang River these days. We just need soldiers to come and block the water and cover it with soil! But you have to worry about it here! You are really looking for trouble!"

For Wen Chou's ridicule, Zhang Liao just shook his head helplessly, and Guo Jia could only greet him with a wry smile, and he didn't know how to explain Wen Chou.Because of his and Zhang Liao's hard work these days, Lujiang City has not suffered from the Jingzhou Army's misery, and the successive victories made Wen Chou's impression of the Jingzhou Army except for its large number of people, but he did not think that the Jingzhou Army was very powerful. That's why he disdained Guo Jia's worries so much.However, Wen Chou is not worried, which does not mean that Guo Jia is not worried. At this time, Guo Jia looked up at the sky, but the sun had already started to set. Guo Jia could only say: "Maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest for a while. Come on! General Huang! I'll go down to the top of the city first and take a walk in the city, just take a rest!"

Zhang Liao and Wen Chou didn't pay much attention to Guo Jia's explanation. After all, Guo Jia was still a literati and couldn't stand the biting cold wind on the tower.At this time, Wen Chou smiled and waved his hands, and said: "Okay! Let me see! Military division, you should go home and sleep first! As for this, you can rest assured and leave it to me and Wen Yuan! We are here , absolutely nothing will go wrong!"

Nodding his head, Guo Jia knew that the Jingzhou Army hadn't engaged in night battles in the past few days, so it didn't matter much if the city was handed over to the two.Besides, Wen Chou has been quite honest during this time, so Guo Jia can also relax a little bit.

After getting off the top of the city, Guo Jia didn't go home to rest directly, but wandered around the city alone.For more than a month, the smell of blood has been everywhere in the city, and it smells a little disgusting.

"Master Guo!" "Master Guo!"

Along the way, Guo Jia also encountered many militiamen responsible for patrolling. Of course, these militiamen were not formed by the regular army, and they were not even counted as new recruits, because these people were organized by Lujiang people to patrol the city voluntarily. .

In the face of those militiamen, Guo Jia did not put on airs, but nodded in response, and waved again, calling a militiaman to his side.Seeing Guo Jia's call, the militiaman ran over immediately, and when he looked at his colleagues next to him, there was a smug look on his face.Arriving in front of Guo Jia, the militiaman directly bowed and said, "The villain has seen Guo Junshi!"

Guo Jia waved his hand, motioning for him to stand up straight and speak, then asked with a smile, "How is it? Is there anything unusual in the city?"

Although this militiaman looked a bit frivolous, he acted like a soldier. He straightened his waist and shouted: "Report to Mr. Guo! The villain led a team to patrol the city for a day, and did not find anything unusual for the time being!"

It's fine if there is no abnormality!Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work! But you must ensure that there will be no disturbances in the city. If there is anything unusual, immediately notify the prefect and the city, understand?"

"Here!" The militiaman yelled immediately, and he had a bright face to receive the task issued by Guo Jia himself!After saying goodbye to Guo Jia and returning to his team, feeling the envious eyes of his colleagues, the face of the militiaman became more and more proud.

Guo Jia didn't bother to take care of the affairs between those militiamen, but turned around and continued wandering around the city.Lujiang City can be regarded as a big city in Yangzhou. Guo Jia walked around the city, but it took him more than an hour.Looking at the North City Gate not far away, it is connected to the biogas forest outside. Generally, there will be no siege troops there, so there are nearly a hundred defenders guarding the city.Although the Jingzhou army had been attacking the west gate during this period, Guo Jia and Zhang Liao did not dare to relax the other three gates, and arranged some defenders to guard them.Even this door is not missing.

Not to mention, after walking around the city, the boredom in Guo Jia's heart has really decreased a lot, at least the sense of uneasiness in his heart has dissipated a lot.Guo Jia couldn't help but smiled wryly. Could it be because he didn't have a good rest during this period of time, or because he stayed too long in this bloody environment in the city?If things go on like this, I will be as thoughtful as Jia Xu...

After laughing at himself, Guo Jia patted his cheeks with his hands, and the slight pain made him feel much better. He took a deep breath and said to himself: "Okay! Don't worry about it! Hold the Lujiang River! Just wait for the reinforcements from Zizhou to come and then counterattack in one fell swoop." After speaking, Guo Jia turned around and walked towards the east gate, wanting to see the situation there.

"Ah!" Just as Guo Jia walked a few steps, suddenly, a slight cry reached Guo Jia's ears, and Guo Jia immediately stopped walking.This cry was actually not loud, but recently because of the siege of the city by the Jingzhou army, the people in the city had rested earlier, so although it was not late at night, the city was already quiet, which reflected the sound. The cry was extremely ear-piercing.To Guo Jia, that cry seemed particularly miserable, as if it contained too much unwillingness and fear.

The real reason why Guo Jia noticed this cry was that the uneasiness that had been lingering in Guo Jia's heart these days suddenly came to him at this moment.Guo Jia frowned, and turned his head to look in the direction of the scream. Although the scream just now was extremely short, Guo Jia still heard it.

Soon, Guo Jia locked his target on a residential house next to the street, which was a small courtyard that wasn't too big.However, it seems that the owner of this courtyard should be considered to have no worries about food and clothing. From the outside, there should be five or six wing rooms in the courtyard, and there are several branches of peach trees protruding from the wall of the courtyard. .

After hesitating again and again, Guo Jia went up to the gate of the courtyard, reached out and knocked on the vermilion gate, and shouted, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

Guo Jia yelled a few times, but found something wrong. Although he couldn't fully see the movement inside, when Guo Jia just walked to the gate, he clearly saw a light from the crack of the door.But after Guo Jia yelled a few times, the light disappeared immediately, obviously trying to cover up something.

There is a problem in this yard!Guo Jia's heart skipped a beat, but before the matter was clarified, Guo Jia couldn't easily call someone. After thinking about it, he knocked on the door again and shouted, "Is there anyone inside? Is there no one?" Zhicai! When will you change the wine money you owe me!"

The last two sentences that Guo Jia said were made up by himself. He didn't even know the name of this family.After shouting a few times like this, Guo Jia cursed loudly again, kicked the locked door forcefully, then turned around and left pretendingly.After walking a few steps, Guo Jia dodged, got into an alley next to him, and then awkwardly climbed up the wall of another house next to him, leaning on the wall, condescending Looking in the yard.

The night sky tonight was covered with clouds, completely covering the moon and the stars, so except for the few households that had lit the lights, everything in the city was pitch black.Guo Jia could only vaguely see the outline of the courtyard by the light of the fire not far from Xichengtou.

I saw that the courtyard was still quiet and there was no movement at this moment, it seemed that there was really no one there, but Guo Jia's mind was always wandering about the light that suddenly disappeared just now, and he still insisted on guarding the wall.

After waiting for two sticks of incense, the effort really paid off, a light suddenly lit up in the innermost room of the courtyard, as if someone had lit an oil lamp, but they blocked it with their hands deliberately. light.Seeing this strange situation, Guo Jia subconsciously held his breath even though he knew that the other party would not find him, and fixed his eyes on the wing.

Although the light from the oil lamp was blocked, there were still some figures reflected on the windows of the wing. Guo Jia observed carefully, but found that there were no less than ten people in that small wing!It is absolutely impossible for such an ordinary family to have so many people. It can be seen that there is definitely something wrong in this yard!
After discovering these anomalies, Guo Jia didn't rush in impulsively. That would be a stupid behavior!What's more, he is still a literati, and he has no power to restrain a chicken.At this moment, the strategy in Guo Jia's mind was running rapidly, and he was staring at the mysterious courtyard. It seemed that there was no big movement in the courtyard. Go to the west gate.To deal with the special situation in this courtyard, Guo Jia couldn't subdue them, so he had to have helpers. Speaking of helpers, they were naturally Zhang Liao and Wen Chou from the west gate.Moreover, Guo Jia had to act quickly, who knew if his audacity just now would cause the people in the yard to attack in advance.

"Master Guo? Why are you here?" Guo Jia hadn't taken a few steps when he heard a voice suddenly sound from the side, but it was particularly loud in this quiet night.

This voice frightened Guo Jia so much that the hairs on his body stood on end, but it was not because of how scary the voice was, but because Guo Jia was worried about alarming the people in the yard.Immediately, Guo Jia turned his head to look at the yard behind him, and at the same time raised his palm to face the direction of the sound, making a gesture of silence.
