Chapter 358

Huayin county official road.

A group of soldiers are on their way.

The leader's name was Zuo Bing, a school captain in Yan Liang's army. At Yan Liang's command, he took the soldiers to make a detour to break through the encirclement, and then quickly went to Huayin county.

At the beginning, it was raining and the road was muddy, which made it inconvenient to drive. After daybreak, the clouds dissipate, at least it doesn't rain any more, it's better to go on the road.

Zuo Bing led a group of soldiers, rushing all the way, regardless of his own situation. After all, Yan Liang's situation is in crisis and he must return as soon as possible. When he got close to the city and could see the city of Huayin county from a distance, Zuo Bing and others all had happy smiles on their faces.

Here we are!

It's finally here!

Now, Zuo Bing is out of breath.

Fortunately, he always practices with Yan Liang and has good health. Otherwise, such a long journey, especially in the rain, would have been unbearable to most people.

Zuobing took people to the lower part of the city tower, looked up to the upper part of the city, and roared, "I'm Zuobing, the captain of general Yan. Open the city gate quickly. I want to see general Sui Gu."

As it happens, Sui Gu is patrolling the city.

Sui Gu knew Zuo Bing.

Seeing the left soldier's embarrassed appearance, Sui Gu's heart was filled with a sense of foreboding. He had no doubt in his heart. He immediately ordered to open the gate and let Zuo Bing and his party enter.

After Zuo Bing entered the city, he quickly ascended the tower. He came to Sui Gu's front, bent, hands on his knees, gasping.

Tired!

I'm so tired!

The beaded sweat seeped out from the left soldier's forehead.

After a long time, Zuo Bing recovered slightly, wiped the sweat on his forehead and reported: "general Sui, the place where my general was stationed was flooded by Zhang Xiu. The general has pulled out and stuck in the woods. Zhang Xiu's army is about to launch an attack. The general asks general Sui to send troops to help and attack Zhang Xiu with my general. "

Brush!

Sui Gu's face changed greatly.

Yan Liang was flooded. Isn't that a heavy loss?

Sui Gu took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said, "how many troops are there around general Yan?"

Zuo Bing said: "there are about 15000 people left. Our loss is not big. After all, we should evacuate in time. In particular, the place where the general was stationed was not the center of the depression, but was washed by the current and not really flooded. It's just that Zhang Xiu has a large number of troops, so the general didn't break through hard and chose to defend. "

The left soldier kept a little secret about the situation on the battlefield.

He didn't say that the losses were huge, or that the cavalry was almost nonexistent.

It's just a bit of a dilemma.

Sui Gu is in deep thought, because of the current situation, he is a little hesitant.

Stay in Huayin County, he can guard.

Even if Zhang Xiu comes to attack, Sui Gu is not afraid. He can rely on the city to defend.

The problem is that Yan Liang belongs to Yuan Shao.

Without Yan Liang's help, it would be difficult for Sui Gu to defend Huayin county. Moreover, if he did not rescue Yan Liang, he might be resented by Yuan Shao. This is a situation Sui Gu does not want to see.

We can only send troops!

Sui Gu made a decision after weighing in his mind and said, "well, I will immediately mobilize 8000 soldiers to help general Yan Liang."

"Not enough!"

Zuo Bing shook his head and answered.

Sui Gu's face sank, and he said: "Zuo Bing, I'm going to rescue general Yan. I've done my duty. I have 15000 men under my command, and more than half of them are sent out of the city. What else do you want? "

At this time, Sui Gu was a little annoyed.

Zuo Bing is ignorant of current affairs.

Sui Gu has a look of anger in his eyes. He is already angry.

But Zuo Bing was not afraid. He held his head up and threw his head to the ground. He said in a voice: "general Sui, I am also thinking about you and the overall situation. Zhang Xiu surrounded general Yan, and his troops were at least 25000, or even more. "

"If general Sui only dispatched 8000 soldiers, even if he could cooperate with my general and attack Zhang Xiu, he could not defeat Zhang Xiu, or even be defeated by Zhang Xiu."

"Knowing that Zhang Xiu has surrounded our general, knowing that we have a chance to defeat Zhang Xiu, why don't we mobilize all our forces to fight?"

Zuo Bing said: "this huge Huayin county has a solid city. It only needs more than a thousand soldiers to guard it. My advice is to ask the general to mobilize all the troops to attack. If you want to fight, you should fight thoroughly and defeat Zhang Xiu in one go. "

Sui Gu was silent after listening.

There is a certain truth in Zuo Bing's words, but Sui Gu's heart is not willing to do so.

It's not appropriate to exhaust all your strength.

Seeing this, Zuo Bing said again, "my general once said that general Sui is a man who knows how to analyze the situation. General Sui, as long as you go all out and defeat Zhang Xiu with my general, that's a great achievement. "

Sui Gu's eyebrows and eyes are floating. He is weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

Zuo Bing continued: "once the victory is won, the war report will be sent back to Jizhou and handed over to Yuan Jizhou. Yuan Jizhou will be greatly praised when he sees the contribution of general Sui. Why indecision at the moment? "Sui Gu's heart became alive.

He was moved by Zuo Bing's words just now, because his heart also tended to submit to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has a good impression in front of him.

Sui Gu clenched his teeth and said, "OK, it's up to you."

Zuo Bing was relieved and said happily, "general Sui is wise!"

Sui Gu immediately ordered the soldiers to gather at the gate of the city. After the army had assembled, Sui Gu left his commander Fu Shan to lead a thousand soldiers to the town of shouchengchi, and then left Huayin county with the army.

The army left and the news soon spread.

Zhang Fang of the royal guards gets the news and orders all the soldiers of the royal guards to gather and prepare for the battle. Then, he went to Yang's house to visit alone.

When the porter saw Zhang Fang, he didn't go to pass the news. He led Zhang Fang to the hall.

In the hall, Yang xiuduan sat down.

When Zhang Fang saw Yang Xiu, he bowed his hand and said, "young master Yang, I just got the news that Sui Gu left the county with the army. In Huayin County, only 1000 soldiers were left to guard the west gate. As long as there are 2500 soldiers of the Yang family, it will be as easy as a palm to capture Ximen. "

Yang Xiu said with a light smile: "I already know the news of Sui Gu's sending troops."

Zhang Fang: "when will we send troops?"

Yang Xiu was not impatient and said, "I've arranged for someone to invite Fu Shan, the captain who stayed at Ximen. He is a school captain left behind. As long as he persuades Fu Shan, it's not enough to worry about the 1000 soldiers left behind. "

Zhang Fang frowned and said, "I know Fu Shan, too. When Duan Xun was in Hongnong County, he was the captain of Huayin county

"Duan Xu left, Sui Gu occupied the county, Fu Shan was the first to surrender to Sui Gu."

"As the first person to surrender to Sui Gu, Fu Shan was highly valued by Sui Gu. In particular, Fu Shan betrayed Duan Xu and gave up his retreat. Now he can only follow Sui Gu closely. "

"It's not easy to persuade such a person to surrender."

Zhang Fang said solemnly: "otherwise, if he surrender again, he will become a traitor. Who dares to use him?"

Yang Xiu said with a smile: "for Fu Shan, life is always the most important thing. It doesn't matter whether it's a traitor or not. Zhang Fang, you are a Ranger. You are light on life, heavy on promise, and attach great importance to faithfulness and reputation. From your point of view, Fu Shan may not be easily submissive, but in fact, Fu Shan is not what you think

Zhang Fang thought for a moment and said, "young master Yang's plan is to recruit and surrender him."

"Yes

Yang Xiu nodded and said, "if Fu Shan is willing to cooperate, it's OK to leave him alive. If Fu Shan doesn't want to cooperate, I'll kill him by thunder and go to Ximen to take over the city defense

Zhang Fang's heart was awe inspiring.

Suddenly, he was afraid of Yang Xiu. Even if Yang Xiu was a scholar, he was still smiling and killing people. His demeanor and calmness made people awe him.

He is worthy of being a son of a noble family.
