Chapter 137
Duan Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yang Xiu again.

"Servant, you are..."

Yang Xiu cupped his hands and bowed again. "The boy is ignorant. He has just entered the official career. He knows a little about the hardships of battle, but he doesn't understand the art of war. He is powerless. He was sent out as an envoy, but he failed at anything, and he was very anxious. The general has been in the battlefield for a long time, so he dares to ask, can Wei Wei defeat Li Jue? "

Looking at Yang Xiu who was anxious and worried beyond words, Duan Yan suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

If Yang Xiu didn't trust him, he would never say such a thing at this time.

This is treating him as one of his own, as the last hope.

Yang Xiu had only met him once before, and this was the second time. To be able to trust him so much was naturally influenced by others.

The people who can influence him are his father, Taiwei Yang Biao, and the emperor Liu Xie.

No matter which one, their trust is invaluable.

Duan Yan raised his head, looked at the sound of battle in the distance, listened to the faint sound of war drums, stroked his beard, and smiled. "With ministers like the Minister's father and son, Wei Wei, the emperor will win. Minister, do you want to go to Zhang Ji's camp?"

"Yes, I would like to persuade General Hussars to fight. Do you think it is okay?"

"Okay, I'll send someone to take you there." Duan Wei said softly, "If Zhang Ji refuses, you don't have to worry, just wait for half a day."

"General, what do you mean..."

"The assistant minister stabilizes Zhang Ji, and I will lead my troops to help His Majesty. Within half a day, the winner will be decided."

Yang Xiu was overjoyed and bowed to pay respects. "If there are generals in battle, the court will have no worries."

"After you arrive at Zhang Ji's camp, meet Huangfu Li first. Xiliang people know Xiliang people best, and Huangfu Li knows better how to deal with Zhang Ji."

Yang Xiu nodded repeatedly and obeyed.

Duan Yan immediately arranged for someone to send Yang Xiu across the stream, and then summoned his generals to assign tasks.

He left behind his son Duan Yong, and ordered him to lead [-] men to stay behind.If Zhang Ji launches an attack, even if he is the last man in the battle, he must stick to his position until the victory is decided on the northwest battlefield.

Duan Yong bowed to accept the order.

Duan Yan turned to look at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Masters, we have all drank blood wine and sworn blood oaths with the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven and Li Jue are in a bloody battle today, I cannot sit and watch. I have decided to fight with the Son of Heaven. Advance and retreat, the whole army rushes to help. Life and death, honor and disgrace, this is a battle. If there is someone who cherishes life, I can understand, I only hope that the kings can be fulfilled, and don't block my way of seeking benevolence."

He slowly pulled out the long knife. "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

The generals looked at each other and said in unison: "I would like to fight with the general."

"Very good." Duan Yao nodded in satisfaction. "The personal guards go first, and the battalions start in turn."

-

Yang Xiu crossed the stream, came to Zhang Ji, and bowed his hands in salute.

"Young Minister Yang Xiu, I have seen General Hussars."

Zhang Ji looked at Yang Xiu and secretly praised him.Although Yang Xiu is covered in dust, he is neither humble nor overbearing, and he is worthy of being a child of an aristocratic family.

"The servant came to see me, what's the matter?"

"To tell you the truth, General Hussars, I came here by accident. If Ling Congzi Zhang Xiu hadn't entrusted me, I should be watching the battle by the side of the emperor now, and I am going to write poems and poems for the soldiers who have done meritorious service, so as to help them feel good."

Zhang Ji raised his eyebrows. "What did you say to Duan Zhongming (Duan Yan) just now?"

Yang Xiu pondered for a moment. "The general has a question. I shouldn't shirk it. It's just that I have official duties. Can I be allowed to put my business first and then private?"

"Didn't you come here by accident? What business is there?"

"I want to see the visitor, Huangfu Li." Yang Xiu had a faint smile on his face. "He was ordered to go to Hongnong as an envoy, but so far he has not responded to his mission. It's fine if I don't come. Since I have come, I will naturally ask about the situation. In the future, the emperor will ask, so I can reply."

Zhang Ji looked a little embarrassed.

Huangfu Li came to persuade him to work for the emperor. After he decided to join forces with Guo Bang, he put Huangfu Li under house arrest and prevented him from contacting the outside world.Yang Xiu's question is tantamount to accusing him of being disobedient and murdering the envoy of the emperor.

If it was before, he didn't care whose son Yang Xiu was.

But at this moment, with the future uncertain, he really didn't dare to be presumptuous.

Zhang Ji waved his hand and ordered Yang Xiu to be taken aside. When Huangfu Li met, he called Zhang Xiu's personal guard over and asked about the situation.

Zhang Ji was somewhat surprised to learn that Yang Xiu had indeed met Zhang Xiulu and that he did not come here specially.

He originally thought that since the battle was so tense, the emperor would definitely send someone to send an edict to ask them to reinforce.

Now it seems that the emperor may really not be nervous, and it is more than enough to face Li Jue.

This is really not easy.

If it is said that there is no protection from God, who will believe it?
Zhang Ji hesitated again.

At this time, Duan Yan on the opposite side of the stream made movement, the position on the opposite side of the stream did not change, but there was faint smoke and dust in the distance, which was a sign of a large group of people moving.

Is Duan Yan going to grab credit?

What's even worse is that he went to claim credit by himself, but sent people to block my way, and didn't give me a chance to claim credit.

"Duan Zhongming, is he guarding against thieves?" Zhang Ji pointed at the opposite side angrily and asked Yang Xiudao.

Yang Xiu turned a deaf ear.

Zhang Ji was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Even if Duan Yan's main force left, the troops left behind were still enough to stop him for a long time.When he succeeds in the strong attack, the battle over there is over.

After a while, Huangfu Li hurried over.

He glanced at the situation, pulled Yang Xiu aside, exchanged names, and saluted.

"Sir, how is the situation?"

"Not very good." Yang Xiu said softly.He just asked Duan Yao for advice, and Duan Yan immediately decided to lead his troops to reinforce him. From Duan Yan's point of view, the emperor's situation was at stake and there was no room for delay. "Brother Huangfu, what do you think of Li Jue's use of troops, and how much victory does Wei Wei have?"

Huangfu Li was very puzzled. "Li Jue has been fighting for many years, how can his chances be compared to that of the Wei Wei? Why, now the Wei Wei is leading the army to fight?"

Yang Xiu's heart shrank suddenly. "Wei Wei is the only general capable of fighting in the imperial court. And Wei Wei has defeated the Feixiong army before."

Huangfu Li frowned. "There is such a thing?"

Yang Xiu didn't dare to be negligent, and told all the situation he knew, and finally said that Guo Si took the initiative to attack, Li Jue faced the battle, and Sun Rui led the infantry battalion and the Weiwei battalion to support him.

Before he finished speaking, Huangfu Li smiled wryly and shook his head. "Master, Li Jue's target is probably not Guo Si, but the Wei Wei and the North and South Army. If he defends in formation and relies on the advantages of the terrain, the Wei Wei may be able to fight on the ground, and the Feixiong Army will be unbearable for him. threaten."

He shook his head. "This battle is more ominous than good."

Yang Xiu turned his head and looked across the mountain stream, his heart skipped a beat.

A thin and straight cloud of smoke rose into the sky.

It was the trace left by the cavalry when they galloped.

Obviously, Duan Yan agreed with Huangfu Li, so he took the lead in sending cavalry to the battlefield for reinforcements.

I hope he can still make it in time, and that Shi Sun Rui can hold on.

"The infantry is densely packed, and with a strong crossbow, can't they break the cavalry?" Yang Xiu had a glimmer of hope. "I heard that in the second year of Chuping, at Jieqiao, Yuan Shao used the [-] soldiers of Qu Yi's troops to defeat Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong."

"That's Qu Yi." Huangfu Li smiled wryly. "Even in Liangzhou, where there are so many famous generals, Qu Yi is a rare general. His trilogy is all battle-hardened warriors. He orders and prohibits, and he is indomitable. How can it be compared with the Northern and Southern armies. And Yuan Shao has Do you have the famous Hebei strong crossbow soldiers? With the few crossbows in Shesheng Battalion, can they stop the Feixiong army?"

Yang Xiu's heart sank to the bottom.
