Chapter 159

Seeing Cheng Pu's assertiveness, she agreed instead of herself. Guo Jia could not help but sigh and forget it. It seems that Chen Ren's words are somewhat reasonable, so she reluctantly agreed.

See Guo Jia also have no objection, Chen Ren secretly in the heart than a V-shaped gesture, flicker Guo Jia success! It seems that Guo Jia, who has been called a ghost talent by later generations, is nothing remarkable! If Guo Jia could know Chen Ren's complacent thoughts, he would have the possibility of killing Chen Ren with his sword.

For fear that Cheng Pu and Guo Jia would repent, Chen Ren quickly called all the civil and military officials of the new army to come and announce that he would return to Jianye to recuperate, and the new army would be under the command of Cheng PU for the time being. Although the generals were stunned when they first heard the news, the new army instilled in their minds the idea of obeying orders during training, which made them accept the matter and salute Cheng Pu one after another.

However, there is one exception, that is Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun has not officially declared his loyalty to Sun Jian. Strictly speaking, he is not a general under Sun Jian's tent. Before that, he helped Chen as commander-in-chief Lei Yuqi. On the one hand, he wanted to help him revenge with Sun Jian's strength, but the most important reason was because of Chen Ren. Therefore, he immediately proposed to go back to Jianye with Chen Yiyi. Although Cheng Pu was reluctant to part with him, he was not good at making people difficult. As for the leader of leiyuqi, Duan Yu, who had performed excellently in both Xuzhou and Nanjun wars, took over the post.

After everything was arranged properly, Chen Ren took Zhao Yun and some of his family members to clean up a little bit, and then ran away. He was really eager to return home! Seeing that Cheng Pu and Guo Jia can't help but curl their lips and cry out that they have been cheated.

The battle of Jingzhou is now equivalent to a complete end, but at this time, in Jizhou, a campaign is quietly starting.

On the outskirts of Qinghe County, Jizhou, a group of knights are walking on the official road on the plain. Seeing the abundant prey on their horses, they should have just come back from hunting outside the city.

"General Xia, do you think that Zhang Fei is really so powerful?" A cavalry asked the general who was at the front. He was Xia Zhao, a trusted General of Gaogan, the governor of Qinghe County.

Although Xia Zhao is young, he has been in the army for many years, but he also has some Kung Fu. He is bold and careful. Together with Deng Sheng, another general, he is called Gao Gan's Shuanghu. Gao Gan was also Yuan Shao's nephew, and was deeply loved by Yuan Shao. Therefore, together with Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng, they had a high reputation in the Jizhou army.

Xia Zhao sighed a little and said, "you haven't seen it. It's unknown. Zhang Fei is like a god of killing from the sky. I went to fight Zhuo county with Gao. We were all going to attack, but Zhang Fei rushed over with a team of cavalry at this time. We have more than 20000 people! Zhang Fei, with less than 1000 cavalry, scattered ten thousand of us. In addition, the garrison in the city went out again, and we were defeated! That flying snake spear looks like a demon. It can cut three or four brothers into two pieces with one wave. It's really terrible

Listening to Xia Zhao's description, the cavalry imagined in their minds the murderous appearance of a man dancing a spear in his hand, and they could not help shrinking their heads.

Another cavalry suddenly asked, "which one is more powerful than Chen Ren, who is the most famous general in the world in Jiangdong?" Chen Ren's name, with the first World War of sishuiguan and the first battle of guarding the city of Yuzhang, has been recited by people all over the world, and is really called the first general in the world.

Xia Zhao was stunned. Then he thought about it slightly. Finally, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "this is not like that. After all, they haven't dealt with each other, but I think Chen Ren should be more powerful. Although I haven't met Chen Ren, at the beginning of Sishui pass, Lu Bu was so arrogant that general Yan and general Wen, who accompanied the Lord, did not dare to send them to battle, but Chen Ren beat Lu Bu back with one shot! Although Zhang Fei was fierce, general Yan and general Wen could not win steadily, but they could at least remain invincible. It can be seen that Zhang Fei is a little inferior to Lv Bu Du, let alone Chen Ren. "

After hearing Xia Zhao's words, the cavalry under his command smacked their tongues one by one. They thought that their superiors, Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng, were already top-notch experts. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang jaw and Gao Lan, the four generals of Hebei Province, were invincible in the world. But after listening to Xia Zhao's saying, we know that there are heaven and people outside the world, and there are so many masters in the world.

Xia Zhao couldn't help laughing bitterly at the appearance of his subordinates. When he thought that he was invincible in the world, he ran to Yuan Shao with the help of Deng Sheng. Seeing that yuan Shaohou was still unconvinced when he treated Yan Liang and the clowns, he even went to compete with each other in martial arts. Naturally, he was severely taught a lesson, so he started from a young general. In the first battle of Panhe, he saw with his own eyes that the four generals of Hebei, who looked like the God of war in his heart, were beaten down by Liu Bei's three generals. From that day on, Xia Zhao knew that his own ability, relative to a real general, might be on the same level as Xiaobing.

"General Xia! General Xia Not far from the front, a cavalry is coming quickly, and his mouth is still constantly greeting Xia Zhao.

When Xia Zhao looked up, he recognized that he was Gao Gan's close friend. His brow was wrinkled. Even Gao Gan's family members were sent out. What happened?

In Xia Zhao's time, the soldier had already rode to Xia Zhao's face, and directly clasped his fist on his horse's back and said, "general Xia! If you have something important to discuss with the general, the general will go to the official residence! ""Good! Go Hearing Gao Gan's orders from his own soldiers, Xia Zhao said nothing. With a wave of his hand, he drove his mount to Qinghe city in front of him. Xia Zhao was already not far away from Qinghe City, but he arrived at the gate in less than half a column of incense. Not to say hello to the garrison at the gate, Xia Zhao ran directly into the gate. Fortunately, all the guards at the gate knew Xia Zhao and didn't cause any disturbance.

When he arrived at the official residence of the governor of Qinghe, Xia Zhao directly turned over and dismounted from his horse. Without even paying attention to the salute of the soldiers along the way, he rushed straight into the official residence and ran directly to the assembly hall. As soon as I entered the conference hall, I saw Gao Gan and Deng Sheng in the hall, as well as other officials in Qinghe city who were already present.

Xia Zhao rushed to see the ceremony and said, "my Lord! Xia Zhao is late! Your honor, please

Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew. As the old saying goes, his nephew is like his uncle. Gao Gan looks like Yuan Shao. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. It's no wonder that he can be loved by Yuan Shao. Looking at Xia Zhao's sweat and panting, Gao Gan said with a smile, "Xia Zhao! Don't worry! This is also my temporary call for you to discuss, no wonder you, sit down and have a cup of tea first

Thank you Xia Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that it should not be a big deal. He and Deng Sheng are the trusted generals of Gao Gan's subordinates. Therefore, the seats are directly set up by Gao Gan's right and left to show their status.

Seeing that Xia Zhao had already taken his seat, Gao Gan said to the people, "since Xia Zhao is here, let's have a formal discussion. At this time, I am in such a hurry to ask you to come here. I really have something important to discuss with you. Recently, there have been yellow turban bandits in Guantao, Yangping and Huacheng counties of Qinghe County. Although they did not attack the city, all the counties came to report urgently. Now the LORD sent a large army to attack Gongsun Zan. There was no extra troops to assist him. So he asked you to come and discuss what to do. Do you have any good suggestions? "

As soon as Gao Gan's voice dropped, Deng Sheng, a big bearded man, got up directly and said to Gao Gan, "my Lord, there is no need to have a headache because of the Yellow turban bandits! Deng Sheng is willing to lead a thousand defenders in the city to go to the war! In less than half a month, I will bring back the heads of the Yellow turban bandits' army and send them to the Lord! "

Gao Gan couldn't help laughing bitterly. Although Deng Sheng was brave, he was impulsive, which was not as good as Xia Zhao, who was as famous as him. Now, without even asking how many people there are on the other side or how many troops there are, they say that they will lead troops to fight. Gao Gan is not good at attacking Deng Sheng's enthusiasm. He said with a smile, "Deng Sheng, you are always brave. I know that. However, I also ask other people's opinions. If you want to fight, Deng Sheng must be in the first place!"

Although Deng Sheng was impulsive and reckless, he was not stupid. Hearing Gao Gan's polite reply, he knew that he was too impulsive again. He immediately laughed and sat down. Gao Gan looked at Xia Zhao, who had already stabilized his breath, and asked, "Xia Zhao, do you have any good opinions?"

Xia Zhao clasped his fist at Gao Gan, but he asked in reverse: "my Lord, I don't know how many thieves there are this time. Where did they finally appear? Can the States and counties provide these details? "

Gao Gan nodded and said, "it's not clear, but it also provides some information. According to the reports handed over by the three counties at the same time, there are about a thousand thieves, all of them cavalry, coming and going like the wind. Every time it is a sudden attack, found that the city has been well prepared, but immediately left. The last riot was outside Yangping. "

"A thousand people?" Xia Zhao slightly lowered his head and thought about it. If there were thousands of yellow turban thieves, they would not be afraid. The Yellow turban bandits wandering in Jizhou and Qingzhou are not the Yellow turban army led by Zhang Jiao ten years ago. To put it bluntly, it's just some peasants who are not full of food and who are looting everywhere under the banner of the Yellow turban army. Under the combat effectiveness of these bandits, their equipment is simple and crude. Only a few hundred regular troops are needed to defeat them.

But Xia Zhao, subconsciously, always felt that there was something wrong with the bandit army's rebellion this time, but he could not tell for a moment what was wrong. Just frowning and turning his head, he saw Gao Gan and others looking at him all the time. Only then did he react. Gao Gan was still waiting for his answer. At the moment, he said, "it's not appropriate to put down the Qianqian army for the sake of insurrecting the Qianqian army. However, it's not appropriate to put down the Qianqian army in order to suppress the Qianqian army for the time being."
