One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 334 The Strange Man Jia Xu
When Lu Bu led his army to Shuinan Pass, Zhang Xiu also led the three thousand infantry to Yewang County.He stopped seven or eight miles away from the county seat and ordered the soldiers to set up camp.

When the Yewang County defenders saw the enemy coming, they became very nervous for a while.But later it was discovered that the enemy had no immediate intention to attack the city, but was just setting up camp. The defenders breathed a sigh of relief.

While supervising the camping of the soldiers, Zhang Xiu dispatched scouts to inquire about the situation at Shuinan Pass.Half an hour later, the first scout came back and reported to Zhang Xiu that Lv Bu's army had engaged Qin Yi's army, but only Lv Bu had gone out to fight, and Qin Yi's army had gone out to fight.

Upon receiving this news, Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.If the generals were singled out, Lu Bu would be invincible.

However, only a quarter of an hour later, another scout returned and reported to Zhang Xiu that Lu Bu was defeated, and Cao He and Hao Meng were defeated.

Hearing this news, Zhang Xiu was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Who defeated General Lu?"

The scout shook his head and said, "I don't know. General Lu's army is retreating, blocking the road. I didn't see General Lu, but I just asked about the situation of the battle. They only said that General Lu was killed by two generals in the Qin Yi Army. Defeated, General Lu was injured. General Lu's lieutenants, Cao Xing and Hao Meng, went out to meet General Lu and were captured alive by the enemy."

"General Lu is still injured!?" Zhang Xiu was even more surprised.Then he told the scouts: "Listen, don't tell anyone about General Lu's defeat for now, so as not to disturb the morale of the army."

"promise!"

"Go down!"

After sending the scouts away, Zhang Xiu stared at the north in a daze.Lu Bu was defeated and injured, and even his two generals, Cao and Hao Meng, were captured by Qin Yijun.This is so surprising.Lu Bu, that's a tiger general. I can't even make twenty moves in his hands.There is such a capable person in Qin Yi's army!
Could it be that Qin Yi made the move himself? I heard that Qin Yi defeated Lu Bu outside Hangu Pass last year.However, I heard from Lu Bu that Qin Yi was only good at fighting on foot, but not at all on horseback. He couldn't even ride a horse steadily.Did Lu Bu deliberately belittle Qin Yi, or did Qin Yi hide it deeply?If I have the chance, I really want to meet Qin Yi in person!

After thinking wildly for a while, Zhang Xiu suddenly thought of an important matter, but he didn't know how to deal with it, so he asked a soldier beside him, "Where is Mr. Wen He at this time?"

The soldier said: "After our army stopped, we haven't seen Captain Jia. He is probably still sleeping in the carriage."

"Oh, let's go, I'll look for him." Zhang Xiu nodded.Afterwards, he walked towards the carriage that Jia Xu was riding in.

While walking, Zhang Xiu shook his head and sighed: He really doesn't understand Jia Xu, this person is so lazy, he can sit and never stand, and he can lie down and never sit.If no one takes the initiative to talk to him, he can be bored in one place all day.If you don't arrange things for him to do, he will definitely not find things to do by himself.

However, if you ask him for advice on something, he will speak concisely and to the point.He can also do well in the tasks assigned to him.

Although this person has served in the Xiliang Army for many years, he is a person with a very low sense of presence. Most of the time, everyone ignores this person.He never interacts with people, and rarely hangs out in front of people, like a lonely ghost.

Thinking about his thoughts, Zhang Xiu came to Jia Xu's carriage.Seeing that the car curtain was hanging down, he asked in a low voice, "Is Mr. Wen He here?"

"Hmm!" A lazy voice came from the carriage.

"Sir, this is Zhang Xiu. I have something to ask you." Zhang Xiu said politely.His official position is higher than Jia Xu's, so he doesn't have to be so polite to Jia Xu.However, Zhang Xiu kept in mind what his uncle Zhang Ji told him to treat Jia Xu with respect. This man is a great talent, and it will be good for you to associate with him more.

Besides, Jia Xu is also much older than Zhang Xiu, so she can be Zhang Xiu's elder.Therefore, Zhang Xiu has always been very polite to Jia Xu.

"Come on!" The voice in the carriage was still lazy.

Zhang Xiu got into the carriage, opened the curtain and looked around, Jia Xu was leaning against the side of the carriage, her eyes were dazed, as if she had just woken up.

Jia Xu didn't wear official robes, but a blue one.The robe was not only dirty, but also crumpled.The robe was also very bulky, covering Jia Xu's thin body like a quilt.His beard also seemed to have not been combed for several days, and it seemed to be covered with paste.

This person is too sloppy, he doesn't look like an official.

Zhang Xiu was slandering in his heart, but he was still very polite to Jia Xu, he first gave Jia Xu his hand, and then got into the carriage.

Jia Xu didn't even look at Zhang Xiu. He still lowered his head and drooped his eyelids, as if he was still sleeping.

But Zhang Xiu confirmed that Jia Xu was awake, and said: "Sir, just now, the scouts reported that General Lu suffered a big loss at Shuinanguan. Not only was he injured, but his generals Cao and Hao Meng were also killed by Qin Yi." The army captured..."

"En." Jia Xu responded lightly, without moving her eyelids, still looking half-dead.

Zhang Xiu held his temper and continued: "I want to ask you, sir, if I would like to meet General Lu from a distance?"

"Do you want to see Lu Fengxian's joke?" Jia Xu finally opened his eyes and glanced at Zhang Xiu.

"Of course not!" Zhang Xiu said, "A certain person was assigned by General Niu to be General Lu's deputy. Since he learned that General Lu had suffered a defeat, it would be disrespectful to ignore him and ignore him."

"Ha——" Jia Xu yawned for a long time, and then said, "I'm not afraid that Lu Fengxian will remember you, so you go to meet him."

After speaking, he closed his eyes again.

"Then...do you want to report this matter to General Niu?" Zhang Xiu asked again.

"You were not the one who defeated the battle, and you were not the leader, so why bother adding more meaning to the situation." Jia Xu said another sentence as if he was talking in his sleep.

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment, understood what Jia Xu meant, and then raised his hand to Jia Xu: "Thank you sir for your advice, I will resign!"

Then, he exited the car.

After Zhang Xiu left, Jia Xu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and whispered to himself, "Qin Yi is getting more and more interesting, how much talent does he have? Well, I need to continue to observe!"

………………

Zhang Xiu got out of the carriage and thought about it secretly.Lu Bu is arrogant and arrogant, if I went to meet him, he would definitely think that I was deliberately watching his jokes.Forget it, just do as Mr. Jia said, and pretend not to know about it.

After making up her mind, Zhang Xiu deliberately went to the south of the station, far away from the direction where Lu Bu came back.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Lu Bu's army returned.Because the soldiers did not engage in battle with Qin Yi's army at all, they were very orderly and still looked very mighty.

Zhang Xiu originally thought that Lv Bu would order people to look for him soon, but who knew that after Lv Bu's army returned, they immediately disbanded on the spot and set up camp under the leadership of their respective officers.Lu Bu himself didn't even show his face.It seemed that Lu Bu's army had just marched to its destination instead of going out to fight.

It was not until the evening when the barracks were set up that Zhang Xiu saw a soldier sent by Lu Bu.

"Zhang Sima, General Lu has an order, ordering you to arrange night defense and beware of enemy sneak attacks." When the soldier saw Zhang Xiu, he conveyed Lu Bu's order to Zhang Xiu.

"Oh, please tell General Lu that X will personally patrol the camp tonight and will never give the enemy any chance."

"I've made a note, and I'm leaving!" The orderly soldier clasped his fists at Zhang Xiu, turned around and left.

"Wait!" Zhang Xiu suddenly stopped him.

"What orders does Sima have?" The orderly turned around and asked.

"General Lu..." Zhang Xiu immediately waved his hand as soon as he said that, "Forget it, go get busy!"

The messenger gave Zhang Xiu a strange look, and then bid farewell to Zhang Xiu again.

Zhang Xiu originally wanted to ask Lu Bu how he was injured, but he regretted it as soon as he said it.So far, most of the afternoon has passed, and Lu Bu has not shown up, nor has he sent anyone to inform Zhang Xiu about his injury. Lu Bu obviously deliberately avoided Zhang Xiu.That being the case, Zhang Xiu didn't bother to talk about it.

That night, Zhang Xiu really personally patrolled the camp and supervised the soldiers on duty at night.When he passed the tent of the Chinese army, he clearly heard screams of pain from inside the tent of the Chinese army.It is very likely that the military doctor is treating Lu Bu's wound, changing gauze and so on.

Zhang Xiu still did not visit Lu Bu.

………………

On the second day, in the middle of the morning, Niu Fu arrived at the camp where Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu were stationed with a thousand cavalry.When Zhang Xiu went out to meet Niu Fu, he finally met Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked as normal as usual, with no signs of any injuries on his body.When he saw Zhang Xiu, he just said hello lightly and didn't say much.

Zhang Xiu was very surprised to see that Niu Fu came here with only so few people.According to the plan in advance, he and Lu Bu first went outside Yewang City and chose a place to set up camp. The next day, Niu Fu would come with an army.However, Niu Fu came, but he only brought a thousand cavalry.Moreover, judging from the time when Niu Fu arrived, he came here by marching in a hurry.

As soon as Niu Fu entered the barracks, he raised his account to discuss matters.Generals such as Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu, Jia Xu, and Hu Che'er who arrived with Niu Fu all participated in the tent discussion.

"Where is Zhonglang General Lu Fengxian?" Niu Fu just took his seat and called out Lu Bu's name.

"A certain Lu Bu is here!" Lu Bu immediately got up and clasped his fist at Niu Fu.

Niu Fu looked at Lu Bu with a smile and asked, "Fengxian, do you have anything to report to someone?"

Lu Bu frowned, his heart was pounding, he gritted his teeth and said, "General, a certain army came here yesterday, and the camp has been set up. Everything is going well, and there is nothing to report."

"Really?" Niu Fu suddenly sneered, "Then why didn't Cao Xing and Hao Meng, the captains under Fengxian's account, come here? Somebody asked all the officers above the captain to come here to discuss the matter."

"This..." Lu Bu was speechless.

With a "snap", Niu Fu suddenly slapped the commander's desk, "Bold Lu Bu, yesterday you violated a certain military order and sent troops to Shuinan Pass without permission, lost your troops and lost your generals, and returned in a big defeat. What should you do?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Xiu.

"You don't have to doubt that it was Zijin who reported the letter to XX, and Zijin didn't do anything!" Niu Fu said, "If XX is the leader of the army, if he can't even know about your private actions, isn't it a joke?"

"General, Lu wanted to take advantage of Qin Yi's unsteady footing yesterday to catch him off guard..." Lu Bu explained.

"Hmph, what a 'you want'!" Niu Fu interrupted Lv Bu with a sneer, "Where did you put a certain military order? If you win, you will make up for your mistakes, and a certain one can still see it for the sake of your colleagues Forgive you, but you were defeated, you lost your troops and weakened my morale, your crime should be executed!"

When Niu Fu said this, not only Lu Bu was shocked, but Zhang Xiu was also shocked.No way, Niu Fu actually wanted to kill Lu Bu?
But thinking about it again, Lu Bu's disobedience to the military order was indeed a taboo in the army, and his crime should indeed be executed.

"General Niu, please listen to my explanation..." Lu Bu said hurriedly.

"I'm too lazy to listen to your explanation, left and right, take Lu Bu down, push him out and behead him!" Niu Fu roared.

On both sides of the tent, Niu Fu's personal soldiers immediately surrounded Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was startled and frightened, subconsciously touched the scabbard with his right hand.Before he could hold the scabbard, Jia Xu suddenly coughed twice and stood up.

"General Niu, Fengxian disobeyed the military order, and he should be executed according to the law. However, if our army has not started to attack the city, we will kill the general. Write down Fengxian's mistakes for a while, and let him make meritorious deeds." Jia Xu cupped his hands at Niu Fu and said.

Lu Bu glanced at Jia Xu gratefully, and removed the hand that was holding the scabbard.

Zhang Xiu also stood up and said to Niu Fu: "General, I also agree with Captain Jia's words. Please forgive General Lu for the time being and allow him to make meritorious deeds."

Niu Fu took a few breaths, and suddenly said: "Forget it, since Captain Jia and Zhang Sima both pleaded for you, I will spare your life for now..."

Lu Bu was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Niu Fu: "Thank you, General, for your forgiveness!" Then, he bowed his hands to Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu: "Thank you for your kindness!"

Niu Fu said: "This is not to forgive you, but to record your crimes for the time being. Fengxian, are you willing to take the blame and make meritorious service?"

"A certain person is willing to be the vanguard and attack Yewang County." Lu Bu was very interested and hurriedly expressed his opinion.

Niu Fu waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be the vanguard to attack Yewang County. There is another task for you."

"General please order!" Lu Bu said.

Niu Fu suddenly looked at Jia Xu: "Wen He, I will leave that matter to you and Feng Xian."

"A certain order!" Jia Xu saluted Niu Fu deeply.

Lu Bu was stunned, what happened?What's up?

Zhang Xiu was also stunned.What kind of riddle are Niu Fu and Jia Xu playing?
Niu Fu looked at Lv Bu and said, "This time, before the war, the grand master formulated a strict strategy for dispatching troops to Hanoi County. There is one task that must be done first. Even if you did not make a mistake this time, someone will order you to go." Carry out this task. As for the task, I have my own text and account to you. Remember, you have committed crimes and meritorious deeds this time, and if you fail to perform the task again, you will definitely be executed!"

"Don't worry, general, Lu Bu will definitely complete the task."

Niu Fu nodded, and said: "For this operation, you must listen to Wen He's words, and don't make your own decisions."

"Keep it in mind!"
