Chapter 41 Encountering the Enemy

Yang Biao sat in the tent, lowered his head, looking at the documents on the case in a daze.

Yang Xiu sat on the side, sneaking glances at the big tent where the emperor lived from time to time out of the corner of his eye.

Jia Xu didn't come out all the time, but he was given two drinks and food. It seems that the emperor had a very speculative conversation with him, and he might even have an all-night conversation.

What on earth are they talking about, so speculative?

Yang Xiu felt a little sour in his heart.

"Duk duk." Yang Biao tapped on the table with his fingers.

Yang Xiu came back to his senses and asked, "What do you think father wants?"

Yang Biao smiled wryly. "Although the Son of Heaven is young, he has a strategy in his heart. This is to make me retreat in spite of difficulties. Dezu, what's your opinion?"

Yang Xiu thought for a while and said cautiously: "Father, when it comes to politics and the people, the Confucian school of benevolence is second to none in the world. There is indeed a lack of Confucianism in order to manage chaos and manage the army. Maybe I should follow the story of Uncle Sun Tong and bear with me for the time being." For a while?"

Yang Biao glared at Yang Xiu, and reprimanded sharply: "You're talking nonsense. Are you comparing me to the Tyrant Qin who died in the second generation?"

Yang Xiu was startled slightly, as if waking up from a dream, his complexion pale.

Inappropriate allusion is a great sin.

Fortunately, he was facing his father, not the emperor.

He then realized that the reason why he made an inappropriate allusion was that he was influenced by the emperor.

The emperor was much more presumptuous than him just now.

Yang Xiu was speechless, feeling that he was being led badly by the emperor.

"Speak!" Yang Biao urged, his voice all stern.

"Uh..." Yang Xiu shrank his neck subconsciously. "Father thought that Wei Wei would be able to command the generals to repel Li Jue and Guo Si without His Majesty in charge?"

Yang Biao was a little anxious, his eyes widened, and his palms were eager to try.

If Shi Sun Rui could handle it, why would he bother?
The scholar Sun Rui could handle the North and South Army, but he couldn't handle Yang Feng and others.These Xiliang soldiers and generals who were born as Baibo thieves would not take Shi Sun Rui seriously.

Even Dong Cheng may not be able to see the senior scholar Sun Rui.

Relying on the North and South armies alone, trying to repel Li Jue and Guo Si is tantamount to dreaming.

However, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you miss this opportunity, how can you ask the emperor for military power in the future?
Yang Biao thought for a long time, and finally decided to write a letter to Shi Sun Rui to explain the current situation and ask Shi Sun Rui for his own opinion.

One night is enough for messengers to communicate.

If it doesn't work, just wait for half a day.

Yang Biao did what he said, picked up a pen and ink, wrote an urgent letter to Shi Sun Rui, and sent someone to the imperial camp immediately.

Yang Xiu watched from the side, peeking at the emperor's big tent from time to time, feeling very confused.

-

In the night, several fast horses galloped forward, and the sound of their hooves was particularly clear in the night.

Xu Huang rode his horse galloping and looked around vigilantly. He held the shield in his left hand and raised and lowered his right hand holding the whip, urging the horse to go fast.

"Gong Ming, don't be in such a hurry." A knight chased after him. "The general's camp is nearby, and the Xiliang people don't have the guts to do so."

"Don't be careless." Xu Huang said in a low voice: "The general was once under Li Jue's command. Li Jue knows his strength and knows that he has a limited number of cavalry. He will definitely send rangers deep to spy on the military situation."

He swallowed, and said again: "Li Jue is arrogant and hates rebellious people the most. The general and Song Guo plotted to assassinate him. He holds a grudge in his heart and will definitely go all out. Didn't you see Li Shi's battle flag? That is The most elite Flying Bear Army under Li Jue's command."

The knight also became uneasy, raised his arms, and prepared to swing his whip to speed up.

"Swoosh!" There was a sound of breaking wind, and a feathered arrow flew to the knight's chest.

The knight exclaimed, turned over and fell off his horse.

Xu Huang instinctively raised the shield in his hand, and at the same time drew out the long knife at his waist, and slashed into the air on the right.

"Duk duk!" Two feathered arrows hit Xu Huang's shield, and the strength was not weakened, causing Xu Huang's body to shake slightly, almost falling off the horse's back.

Xu Huang shouted: "Be careful of stumbling on the rope!"

Before the words were finished, there was a "hum" on the ground a few feet in front of the horse, and two leather ropes suddenly appeared, and a war horse couldn't react in time, and was tripped to the ground.The knight on horseback was pinned down by the horse, screamed and fell to the ground.

Xu Huang's horse was also tripped, but Xu Huang got off the horse in time to avoid being pinned down by the horse. He rolled on the spot and slashed at the tripping rope in front of him with a knife.

"Shua!" The tripping rope was cut off, and there was a chaotic sound in the grass beside it. It should be the person who yanked the tripping rope and fell to the ground.

A war horse passed by Xu Huang's side, and the knight on the horse leaned over and stretched out his hand, pulling Xu Huang onto the horse's back.

Before Xu Huang could sit still, several feathered arrows pierced through the wind and hit the knight's chest.The knight grunted and shook his body twice.Xu Huang grabbed him, protected his vitals with the shield in his left hand, and slashed at the horse's buttocks with a long knife in his right hand.

The war horse hissed sadly, and rushed forward, narrowly avoiding a few feathered arrows.

The few knights in the back were either tripped by the bridle rope or shot down by the arrow. They were all spared and fell to the ground, tossing and crying.

A few figures rushed out from the grass, flanked left and right, and ran towards Xu Huang and the two of them.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Xu Huang yelled "return to the camp to report", turned over and jumped off the horse, swung his knife and slashed the horse's buttock again.

The war horse neighed, galloped vigorously, and rushed out before the figures on both sides arrived.Just as those figures hesitated, Xu Huang rushed over.Seeing this, the man subconsciously slashed at him with a knife.Xu Huang knelt on the ground, leaned back, and slid forward more than a foot.The long knife in his right hand passed over the opponent's inner thigh silently.

The man's legs went limp and he fell to the ground, with blood flowing between his thighs.

Xu Huang got up, swung the long knife in a circle, and slashed at another black shadow who was rushing over.

The man held up his shield to parry, and with a bang, the shield split in two, and the face of the shield was split open, dripping with blood.

"Gongming, save me!" Someone shouted urgently.

"Lie on the ground and don't move!" Xu Huang yelled sharply, and rushed over with his sword and shield. Whenever he met someone standing, he would ignore it and chop with his knife.Although the opponent tried his best to resist, but Xu Huang's footwork was erratic and his saber skills were sharp, and he was chopped down one after another.

In a blink of an eye, the battle was over.

-

Liu Xie chatted with Jia Xu most of the night, and when he woke up the next day, it was already daylight.

He didn't get up to practice martial arts, but lay on the bed, recalled the chat with Jia Xu yesterday, savored it repeatedly, and felt that he should not have revealed any obvious flaws, so he got up to wash.

Yang Xiu entered the tent to wait on him, his face a bit haggard, his eyes dodging.

Liu Xie didn't urge him either.

In political struggles, sometimes it’s all about patience, and whoever loses his temper first loses.

While eating breakfast, Xu Huang came back.

He was covered in blood and his left arm was wounded, which was wrapped in a cloth.

"What's going on?" Liu Xie was taken aback.

"It's just a flesh injury, it's nothing serious." Xu Huang said lightly: "I was ordered to go to the imperial camp to inquire. On the way back, I met a ranger from the Xiliang army, and we lost each other. It's just that the horses are all dead. I'm going to leave. The one who came back was delayed."

Yang Xiu was taken aback. "A ranger from the Xiliang Army is nearby?"

Xu Huang nodded. "We met a team of about eight or nine people."

"About what time?"

Xu Huang thought about it. "About midnight."

Yang Xiu's face became extremely ugly.

　Xie Shuyou's conscientious and dedicated Lonely brother gave another leader a reward, adding a new chapter.
