"The cavalry general."

"General Chariot?" Zhang Xiu's heart tightened, his face changed slightly.

Zhang Ji had always been on good terms with Guo Si, but he was not at ease with Li Jue, so he took the initiative to station in Hongnong and stay away from Li Jue.The last time Guo Si fought with Li Jue, Zhang Ji rushed to persuade him to make peace, also for Guo Si's sake.

In terms of strength, Guo Si is not Li Jue's opponent. If Zhang Ji does not help, Guo Si is likely to be killed by Li Jue.

In this battle, Guo Si also tried his best to win over Zhang Ji and form an alliance to compete with Li Jue.

How could he suddenly attack Li Jue without notifying Zhang Ji?

Could it be because of Jia Xu?

For a moment, Zhang Xiu thought a lot, and his face also changed.

Yang Xiu saw it, but didn't say anything.

Zhang Xiu hesitated for a moment. "Just relying on the strength of the chariot and cavalry general, it seems that it is not enough to fight against Li Jue. Could it be that someone is joining forces with him?"

"It's natural." Yang Xiu nodded slightly. "The Son of Heaven ordered Sun Junrong to lead the northern and southern armies to attack, and he was fighting fiercely with Li Jue, beheading thousands."

"North and South Army?" Zhang Xiu couldn't help laughing.

Yang Xiu smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Xiu immediately remembered that not long ago, Shi Sun Rui took the initiative to attack and smashed the flying bear army led by Li Shi.

Today's North and South Army is not the previous North and South Army.

He looked down on the North and South Army, it would only appear that he was ignorant.

Zhang Xiu was very embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing this, Yang Xiu took advantage of the situation and asked, "General Hussars is here to help Li Jue or the Son of Heaven?"

"Naturally...to help the Son of Heaven." Zhang Xiu hesitated for a while before making a choice.

No matter what Zhang Ji thought, he was still a Hussar General appointed by the court, so he couldn't say that he wanted to help Li Jue in front of Yang Xiu.

"Then what is the general waiting for?" Yang Xiu shook his horsewhip and said calmly, "Will you be the last seat at the emperor's celebration banquet after the great battle?"

Zhang Xiu blinked and squeezed out a smile. "Master Yang please give me advice, what should I do?"

Yang Xiu pointed at Li Ying's camp with a whip. "Li Jue was besieged by the Wei Wei and the Chariot General. You don't have to join in the fun. Li Ying's head is not as valuable as Li Jue's, but it is more than enough to be named Tinghou."

Zhang Xiu smiled even brighter. "Since Li Jue is fighting against General Chariot and Cavalry, why don't I go and rob his central army? The central army has luggage, and the loot is rich, which can make up for the consumption of our army from afar."

Yang Xiu stared at Zhang Xiu twice, and laughed.

Zhang Xiu narrowed his eyes and smiled without saying a word.

Yang Xiu laughed for a while, and pointed at Zhang Xiu with a whip. "There is indeed some truth in what the general said, but it's a pity that he was a step too late."

"Why are you one step slower?"

"Last night, Li Jue's central army camp was robbed once, and the supply camp was burned to nothing. Otherwise, Li Jue wouldn't have jumped the wall in a hurry. He knew he was invincible, but he would have to make a last-ditch fight."

Zhang Xiu also received the news that someone robbed Li Jue's camp last night, but he didn't know who did it, so he was very curious.Hearing Yang Xiu talk about it now, I naturally have to ask.

"My lord, do you know who robbed Li Jue's camp?"

"General, why bother to ask questions knowingly?" Yang Xiu smiled even more happily. "I heard that the people who robbed Li Jue's camp were all cavalry, and they fought the general's battle flag."

Chapter 129

"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?"

Chapter 130

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.
