Han Dao world

Chapter 136

"I..." Zhang Xiu was furious, and cursed words came to his lips, and he swallowed them back.

Scolding Yang Xiu won't solve the problem, but may cut off his own way out.

Li Jue was suspicious, and knew that Zhang Ji and Guo Si had a good relationship, so he had never had a good impression of them, so he would not give him a chance to explain.

If Li Jue could defeat the imperial court and Guo Si, even if Li Jue knew that the imperial court's troops were pretending, he would close his eyes and be confused, put the charge on his head, and then kill him.

There was no reason to kill Fan Chou back then.

Zhang Xiu turned his head to look at the battlefield again, and tentatively said: "I only have Qianqi, and I can fight in the field, but I can't charge into the camp. Attacking Li Ying is definitely not the best strategy, it is better to rush to the rescue of the general."

"General." Yang Xiu waved his hand indifferently.

The more Yang Xiu didn't care, the more Zhang Xiu didn't dare to be careless.

"Where do you want to go, my lord?"

"Back to camp." Yang Xiu shook his whip. "Although I am a scholar, I can't fight the enemy like a general. It is good to watch the emperor defeat Li Jue and decapitate him. At that time, I will reciting poems and composing Fu, and I will receive some rewards."

Zhang Xiu wanted to scold someone, but at the same time he was ready to move.

If you can make meritorious service, it is better to be rewarded in front of the emperor than to accompany the last seat and watch these scholars reciting poems and prose.

"Since the young master is fine, I have something to ask."

"tell me the story."

"I will lead my troops to help General Cheqi. Please, my son, go to General Hushi's camp and convey the news to me. I will ask General Hushi to attack and defeat Li Jue together. How about it?"

Zhang Xiu stared at Yang Xiu with fierce eyes.

His words were very polite, but the meaning was very clear.If Yang Xiu refuses, he doesn't mind directly using force to kidnap Yang Xiu and bargain with the court in the future.

Hongnong's Yang family is the fourth generation and third father, and Yang Xiu is the only son of the Taiwei Yang Biao. The emperor can't give up any face.

Yang Xiuxiu was scheming, but after thinking about it on purpose, he reluctantly agreed.

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, and immediately sent a head of the personal guard with ten knights to escort Yang Xiu to meet Zhang Ji.

Yang Xiu headed east, while Zhang Xiu gathered his cavalry and galloped northwest along the official road.

-

Zhang Ji and Duan Yao stood across the stream, and the guards were dozens of steps away, watching each other vigilantly.

"Brother Duan, the five-day period has passed." Zhang Ji said loudly.

Duan Yao laughed and pointed to the west. "Brother Zhang, you have been waiting for so many days, why wait another half a day. Listen to the sound of the drums, within half a day, the winner will be decided."

Zhang Ji nodded with a smile, but his mouth was bitter.

The five-day period has passed long ago. If he wants to attack, he doesn't have to wait until now.

The Son of Heaven was fighting fiercely with Li Jue, and the sound of the war drums sounded from early morning to noon, and from noon to the present. It can be seen that both sides are risking their lives, making a last-ditch effort, rather than a small-scale contact.

The victory or defeat is imminent, even if he wants to launch an attack now, he will not be able to break through Duan Yan's block within half a day and rush to the battlefield.

In other words, he was completely reduced to a spectator and lost his influence on the battlefield.

No matter who is the final victor, he will be held accountable.

"Brother Duan, who do you think will win?"

"Nature is the Son of Heaven." Duan Yan stood with his hands behind his back, admiring the gurgling water calmly. "Although the Son of Heaven is young, he is extremely intelligent and sincerely the hero of ZTE. If not, how could Jia Wenhe be a minister?"

Hearing Jia Xu's name, Zhang Ji's heart tightened again.

Compared with Duan Yan's choice, Jia Xu's surrender to the emperor can explain the problem better.

That is an extremely clever wise man, an incomparable counselor born in Xiliang.

For so many years, he has maintained a balance between Li Jue and the court, impartial.There must be a reason for suddenly proclaiming himself a minister to the emperor and becoming an enemy of Li Jue.

Duan Yan is close to Jia Xu, so he knows everything about it, so he can be so calm.

Seeing Duan Yao's victory in his hands, Zhang Ji was very upset and wanted to say something to Duan Yan.

"Brother Duan, are you too confident? Even if the emperor is wise and Jia Wenhe is wise, how can he be the enemy of Li Jue with the court's thousands of troops? Last time in Xinfeng, Guo Si's loss was due to negligence, not the court's strength. That's why."

Duan Yan laughed out loud.

"Brother Zhang, you have been fighting for many years and you are a veteran general. Now that the situation cannot be hidden from your eyes, why do you deceive yourself? It should be attacked for several days, but there is no progress, why?"

Zhang Ji smiled awkwardly. "The Li brothers have lived too comfortably in the past two years, indulged in wine and sex, and their bodies have been emptied."

Duan Yan didn't refute, and followed Zhang Ji's words: "Yes, this is especially true for Li Shi, but Li Jue still wants him to succeed."

Zhang Ji let out a long sigh and was speechless for a long time.

A knight came running from a distance and stopped at dozens of paces. Duan Yan's personal guard stepped forward to inquire, and after a while, rushed to Duan Yan and whispered a few words.

Zhang Ji couldn't hear what they said across the stream, so he could only look at them with wide eyes.

At a distance of more than a hundred steps, he seemed to see a group of knights, some of whom were familiar faces.After taking a closer look, he realized that those people were all Zhang Xiu's personal guards.They surrounded a young man in Langguan's service, looking this way.

Zhang Ji was puzzled and wanted to know the truth even more urgently.

Duan Yan waved his hand, Yang Xiu came over and greeted Duan Yan.

"Minister, how is the Son of Heaven?" Duan Yan asked in a low voice.

Yang Xiu took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. "The emperor is well. Wei Wei is fighting fiercely with Li Jue. I have been ordered to go to the camp of the rear general and order the rear general to attack."

"Has the general later agreed?"

Yang Xiu shook his head. "The latter general is hesitant."

On the way, he made full consideration, and now he spoke slowly, heavy but not flustered, disappointed but not angry.

He originally wanted to lie to Duan Yan, telling him that Yang Ding had sent troops to lure Duan Yao to attack, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind.

The generals in Xiliang didn't trust the imperial court very much, and Duan Yan was always suspicious. If he saw a flaw, it would be unsightly.

Instead, be honest with each other.

Duan Yan sized Yang Xiu up and was a little surprised.

The emperor showed great sincerity to Yang Ding. In order to send food to Yang Ding, he did not hesitate to let Shi Sun Rui take the initiative.Yang Ding was also inexplicably grateful to the emperor, why would he refuse to attack?
"Could it be... because of me?" Duan Yan tentatively asked.

Yang Xiu shook his head. "It may be that the victory or defeat is uncertain, and his strength is insufficient, so he dare not attack rashly." Yang Xiu paused, and then said: "Although Li Jue led the main force to attack, he left nearly [-] people in the central army. Let the general later attack the camp. After all, there is not much luggage in the camp, if he is robbed by the general later, it will be difficult for him to retreat even if he wants to."

Duan Yan thought it was reasonable, he looked at Zhang Xiu's personal guards. "Have you met Zhang Xiu?"

Yang Xiu glanced at Zhang Ji who was looking forward to him, smiled slightly, and told all the details of his encounter with Zhang Xiu, without even keeping his own thoughts.

Duan Yan listened and nodded slightly. "The servant is worthy of being the son of Duke Yang, he is brave and resourceful. What can we do now?"

Yang Xiu let out a sigh of relief. "Does the general think Wei Wei can defeat Li Jue?"
