Xiaoguangong

Chapter 90
Xun You is one of the rare experts in Cao's army who is both proficient in strategy and tactics and has a certain ability to lead the army alone.

When he was attacked by fire at the beginning, he had been organizing the battle. The soldiers from Yingchuan were relatively calm under his dispatch, and they fought back against Liu Bei's army a few times, causing some losses to Liu Bei's army.But his tenacity also attracted Liu Bei's attention. Without saying a word, he immediately led the soldiers to attack Xun You. Xun You resisted hastily for a while. Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were encircling him, he had no choice but to lead his men quickly run.

Along the way, he kept taking in the defeated army and restoring order, and gradually restored order to the rear of Cao's army, who had been completely panicked by trampling each other before, and even mobilized some troops to lay a few small ambushes near Wulin. Guan Ping, who fought against Cao Ren, also fought fiercely with Xun You's men. Guan Ping fought bravely, but there were too few people around him, and in the end he failed to break through Xun You's defense.

Guan Ping had been slowly bleeding Cao Jun's behemoth before. After repelling Guan Ping, Xun You finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that this young general was the plague god of Cao Jun. It seemed that everything was going in the right direction if he could be repelled. develop.

Although this battle was defeated, thanks to Xun You's efforts, Cao Jun's situation has shown signs of improvement. Optimistically, they should be able to escape back to Jiangling basically intact. result.

In Cao's army, which has gradually restored order, there is another group of soldiers that is quite conspicuous.

They were still advancing very fast, as if they couldn't wait to jump to the forefront of the army.

Xun You frowned slightly, and ordered the guards around him to intercept.

"Who are you under, and don't stop!"

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, the advancing army finally stopped.

Xun You personally held the torch forward, and was surprised to find that the soldiers' armor and weapons were quite neat, and they fled here. Although the faces of the people were tired, they were firm and resolute, not like a defeated army—you must know that Cao Jun and Liu Beijun were not the same. They wear distinctly different armors like those in TV dramas. All soldiers wear red uniforms with straight skirts, and two armors on the outside. It can be seen that this is a pretty good soldier.

You must know that most of Cao Jun’s soldiers usually don’t wear armor when they are on the road or on duty for the sake of convenience. Many people throw away their weapons when they escape along the way, but this defeated army can actually move forward with armor and weapons. It is really first-class One of the best soldiers.

"Who are you?" Xun You took the initiative to ask.

"Mr. Xun, it's me!" Zhang Yun stepped forward dejectedly. His decadent appearance slightly neutralized the amazing vigor of these soldiers, making Xun You feel that these soldiers were much more normal.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun all have their own confidantes and dead soldiers, and it is normal for them not to retreat in the midst of the war.

Xun You breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly:

"Dudu Zhang, our army was defeated, why didn't you stick to it, and instead led the army to run wildly?"

Zhang Yun smiled wryly:
"It's not that Zhang is unwilling to fight, it is really a last resort."

Xun You walked forward slowly, staring closely at Zhang Yun's eyes:
"Where does this come from?"

As soon as the words fell, a cold steel knife was placed on Xun You's neck. Xun You was shocked, and saw a warrior with a grinning face standing beside Zhang Yun, and his whole body turned cold immediately.

"stop!"

Everyone around Xun You thought that Zhang Yun was enraged by Xun You and was about to step forward to explain, but they never thought that an old and loud voice sounded behind Zhang Yun:

"Is there a son of Jingzhou here? The old man Huang Zhong doesn't want to kill you, so let's get out of here quickly!"

In the light of the fire, many Jingzhou soldiers gathered by Xun You immediately recognized the gray-haired Huang Zhong. Not only were they not afraid, but they even showed surprise.

"It's General Huang, General Huang is here to save us!"

Huang Zhong was so proud that he couldn't help laughing loudly:

"Not bad, the old man is here to take you home!"

Xun You's heart immediately fell into the abyss. He didn't want to be caught without a fight, so he quickly called out:

"Leave me alone, take down these traitors!"

Xun You also had cronies to protect him. They had recovered from their astonishment, and they quickly surrounded Zhang Yun and others with knives in their hands.

After all, Cao Jun had a lot of people, and Xun You's prestige was still there. Most of Cao Jun's Northern Army soldiers surrounded him one after another, and even those without weapons came to watch. The scene was very spectacular for a while.

"Zhang Yun, Cao Cheng has treated you well, and the defeat in this battle is not your fault.

Although we are defeated, Jiangling still has tens of thousands of troops, sufficient food, grass and soldiers. Sun and Liu Zong won the victory for a while, but they will not be able to succeed in the end.

Ru and Cai Mao didn't need me to say much to Liu Bei back then. Even if you go, you will hardly have a bright future, and sooner or later you will be counted.

Put down your sword, I will pretend that what happened today never happened, I guarantee with my life that in the future..."

"Gongda." Zhang Yun smiled wryly, "Do you think what I say counts?"

Xun You's right eyelid twitched suddenly.

His last hope is that all of this is Zhang Yun's willful behavior. He is absolutely confident that he can persuade Zhang Yun to put down his weapon. Will be wrong.

"What's your name?"

"Wei Yan, the characters are long. A humble name is degrading to listen to."

"Wei Yan!" Xun You said with a bang in his head, "I've heard of you! I've heard of you! Ru, who is it that made you change! Who is it!"

Of course Xun You had heard of Wei Yan's name.

This Yiyang man is just a reckless man who came to Xiangyang from a poor place to live. Under Wenpin, he barely became a song leader. Most of his men and horses came from Yiyang to poor men with him. , Even the natives of Jingzhou bullied them, and no one ever believed that these Yiyang soldiers could play a big role.

But it happened that these people's counterattacks played a huge role in Guan Ping's first attack on Jiangling. According to the soldiers who escaped, Wei Yan's martial arts in this battle were even superior to those of Wenpin.

Cao Cao was very angry about this, and thought that there must be a reason for Wei Yan's rebellion. After a bunch of previous incidents, the Cao army's aides, who were already in trouble, made reasonable speculations and firmly believed that there must be someone in Jiangling secretly supporting these warriors, otherwise they would be the same when they were under Liu Biao's command. Why don't you rebel when you are abused by others? Why do you rebel when you come to Cao Jun and bully them a little bit? Isn't this too unreasonable?
Wei Yan snorted coldly, the fanaticism on his face became more intense, the side of the steel knife in his hand pressed against Xun You's face, and said coldly:

"Where has Wei ever been instigated by others? A man was born in troubled times, either to seek peace in the past, or to be famous.

I am waiting in the Ru army, day and night like pigs and dogs, how have the nobles and other nobles heard of my name Wei Yan?
The public is a great talent, is it right to say that it is right for me to change my family this time? "

Xun You knew that Wei Yan couldn't be good today, so he simply reached out and gently grabbed the steel knife in Wei Yan's hand, letting the blade slowly print a bloodstain on his hand.

"Okay, good soldier of Yiyang, okay, kill me if you have the ability, kill me, you will be famous far and wide!"

Encouraged by Xun You's bravery, all the generals around Xun You clenched their weapons and shouted loudly:

"Withdraw the knife! If you dare to make things difficult for Duke Xun, you will be cut into pieces!"

"Quickly kneel down and beg for mercy, beware that the sword has no eyes."

After all, Cao Jun has a large number of people, and Guan Ping's 300 people are like a small boat in the raging waves, Zhang Yun's heart tingles in shock.

It's over.

So many people can kill me with one knife!

I just said don't rush in, this is not a sheep into the tiger's mouth, how can I get out of it in a while...

Xun You breathed a sigh of relief, what the sages of the heart said was indeed true-courage is also a battle.

When Cao Jun had an absolute advantage in military strength, he was beaten like this because his courage had collapsed, but now he really restrained the Yiyang warrior with his righteousness.

come.

Have the ability to kill me.

The prime minister killed Bian Rang and almost had a big accident. Now Liu Bei has only won for a while, and his foundation is not stable. If he dares to kill me...

Thinking of this, Xun You forced a frivolous look on his face, and said with a sneer:

"Who dares to kill me? Who dares to kill me!"

Cao Jun roared in unison:
"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!"

Wei Yan's complexion was iron.

If it was when he was leading soldiers in the past, he would have chopped Xun You with a knife, but thinking of the consequences, his fingers kept trembling, but he carefully controlled the knife, for fear that the sharp weapon would fall on Xun You's neck.

Xun You's heart was also pounding, for fear that this reckless man would ignore him like Xu Chu.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, he immediately snorted coldly, and was about to shake his sleeves and retreat, but he didn't expect a young man to walk out slowly behind Wei Yan.

He took out a knife from his waist and handed it to Xun You with a smile.

Xun You subconsciously held the knife in his hand, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

"My name is Guan Ping," the young man said with a smile, and everyone around him was suffocated. "The younger generation dares not make mistakes, so give Duke Xun a chance first."

He patted Wei Yan's arm to let him go, and then moved his face to the steel knife in Xun You's hand, aiming his eyebrows at the sharp cold light.

"Give Duke Xun a chance. I'll count to three and see if Duke Xun dares to kill me."
