Xia Hou Shang turned over and dismounted, handed over his mount to the soldiers guarding the gate, and then walked toward the governor's office with a wry smile on his face. As he slowly walked into the mansion, Zhang Fei's roar became louder and louder. Xia HOUSHANG didn't need to ask those sergeants and servants where Zhang Fei was. Zhang Fei's voice could completely guide him.
When I went directly to the study of the governor's office, I saw a piece of black things flying out of the study through the window and landed on the grass outside the study. It was a square inkstone with ink spilled all over the floor. Xia Hou still frowned. If Zhang Fei was in a bad mood, he would use painting and writing to stabilize his mood. Today, he even lost his inkstone. It can be seen that this method has no way to suppress Zhang Fei's anger. It seems that Zhang Fei has not chosen a good time to persuade him today.
According to the scouts' intelligence, the reinforcements of the Soochow Kingdom have arrived in Dingtao. Now it is estimated that they have arrived in Jiyin. It should be only three days away from Dongjun. If you don't leave, you will not be able to leave at that time. Xia Hou still sighed and went straight into the study. However, he saw the mess all over the place. There were precious brocade and silk torn to pieces, as well as excellent pen and ink. Zhang Fei was standing in the middle of the study, and the desk for painting and calligraphy had been overturned.
Zhang Fei glanced at Xia Hou Shang's coming in, then turned his head and did not speak. Xia Hou Shang had to worship again and said, "General Zhang!"
Zhang Fei suddenly sighed and said, "Bolen, I know what you want to do this time. I also know that under the current situation, your proposal is correct. But have you ever thought about my self-esteem as a warrior? Can't Gao Shun and Zhang Liao escape from the powerful Bingzhou army? The king of Wei entrusted Yanzhou to us. We abandoned the city without good protection. I'm sorry for the heavy trust of the king of Wei! "
Xia Hou Shang has not yet opened his mouth to persuade Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei said that he was speechless for a while. Zhang Fei was not wrong. As a general, how could he be worthy of the Lord's trust when he retreated without fighting. But Xiahou still lowered his head for a moment, then raised his head and said, "no! General Zhang! It's not loyalty, but ignorance, to do what you know you can't do
At this time, Xiahou Shang could not take Zhang Fei's face into consideration, and said frankly: "it is true that the Lord entrusted Yanzhou to us, but compared with the land of Yanzhou, the most important thing for him now is the strength! At present, Yanzhou's 500000 army has only left us 180000 men and horses. Originally, the Lord is short of troops. If we lose the 180000 troops, it will be even worse for the Lord! With the 180000 troops, when we return to Jizhou and join general Dianwei, we can hold down Zhao Yun's 500000 army in Yanzhou, which is also a kind of help to the Lord! "
Xiahoushang is indeed the next generation of Xiahou family to cultivate talents. After mature thinking, it is very thorough to analyze the current situation. Xia HOUSHANG's analysis naturally made Zhang Fei very moved. However, Zhang Fei did not fail to understand these great principles. In fact, what Zhang Fei could not pass was his own inner dignity.
At this time, Xiahou Shang had already seen it. Even though he continued to persuade him, "I know that general Zhang is a real warrior, but general Zhang is even more a general of the Northern Wei Dynasty! As a general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, general Zhang has a huge responsibility to shoulder. He can't ruin the grand master's affairs because of his high spirits. " Now it's a critical moment, and Xia HOUSHANG can't care so much. The meaning of this is very clear, that is to blame Zhang Fei for being impulsive.
Zhang Fei was very angry. When he heard Xia HOUSHANG say this, he didn't get angry. He immediately turned around, looked at Xia HOUSHANG directly, and said angrily, "what do you say? Say it again
At this time, Zhang Fei was infuriated, and the chill in his eyes was about to freeze Xia Hou Shang. Looking at Zhang Fei's murderous spirit, Xia HOUSHANG can't help but shiver. But now, Xia HOUSHANG can't retreat any more, or the achievements just made will be in vain. Xia Hou still stood up and faced Zhang Fei's eyes. He said solemnly: "I'm talking about General Zhang's high spirited attitude, but I don't care about the safety of the Lord! He is worthy of becoming a general of the Northern Wei Dynasty! "
"Bold!" Zhang Fei clenched his teeth and took a step under his feet, and rushed to Xia HOUSHANG's body. His huge hand, which looked like a pair of tongs, was directly pinched on Xia HOUSHANG's neck. As soon as he exerted himself, he lifted Xia HOUSHANG up. That Xia Hou was still pinched by Zhang Fei, and his face turned red. Zhang Fei clenched his teeth, looked at Xia Hou Shang with red eyes, and said, "do you believe I killed you?"
At this time, the Marquis of Xia also had to go out. Although his face was flushed, he still held on to Zhang Fei and said, "letter! But please, general Zhang, after killing me, take the army back to Jizhou! " Because Zhang Fei choked his throat, Xia HOUSHANG's words were intermittent, but Xia HOUSHANG's tone was so firm that Zhang Fei couldn't help being stunned.
Xia Hou Shang was about to be strangled to death by Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei's eyes finally flashed a trace of pain. He threw Xia HOUSHANG away suddenly and left it in the corner of his study. Xia Hou Shang held on to his throat, which was finally loosened. He gasped and sucked the extra precious air. It took a long time for him to recover. After coughing heavily, Xia HOUSHANG slowly got up from the ground and looked at Zhang Fei with complicated eyes, but he didn't know whether to hate him or to thank him.Zhang Fei said with a ferocious face: "order, the whole army to withdraw! Back When he said the last two words, Zhang Fei's teeth bit together involuntarily. It can be seen how painful it is for Zhang Fei to make such a decision!
However, in the summer Marquis Shang's place, Zhang Fei's words are more beautiful than the sounds of nature, and he can't take into account the pain in his throat. Even if he clasped his fist at Zhang Fei, he cheerfully said, "thank you, general Zhang, for your great righteousness! At the end of the day, we will convey General Zhang's military order and ensure that the army will be assembled before this afternoon! "
Zhang Fei simply turned his back and waved with his hand, indicating that Xia HOUSHANG would go quickly. Xia Hou Shang didn't dare to delay. In order to wait for Zhang Fei's words, he had been waiting for three days. Now he had got Zhang Fei's consent. He wanted to have more legs and convey Zhang Fei's military orders quickly. He left Dongjun earlier and got out of danger earlier. Xia Hou still hugged Zhang Fei and left in a hurry. Zhang Fei was the only one left in the study.
Zhang Fei stood alone in the study, looking at the "Wu" character hanging on the wall. He was full of pain, and sighed a long time, saying: "so many years of reputation, unexpectedly destroyed once! What a pity
I don't know whether Xia Hou is still in a hurry or those Cao's generals are anxious. Within two hours after Xiahou's departure, a sergeant arrived at Zhang Fei's study and said, "report back to general! The army has been assembled. General Xia Hou asked the general to rush to the north of the city as soon as possible and lead the army out! "
Zhang Fei nodded, sighed again, and left the study with the sergeant. Half an hour later, at the north gate of Dongjun, Zhang Fei and Xia HOUSHANG, with their army, marched toward the north. Not far from Dongjun, there was the Yellow River. As long as it crossed the Yellow River, it was the boundary of Jizhou. At the moment of leaving Dongjun City, Zhang Fei looked back again at the place which represented his shame. His hands were holding the reins, which turned white because of excessive force. Finally, after biting his teeth, Zhang Fei went back to his body and continued to run towards the north.
Because they were in a hurry to retreat, Xiahou did not make too much arrangement for Dongjun City, so shortly after they left Dongjun City, they realized that the Dongjun people abandoned by the Northern Wei Dynasty immediately surrendered to the Dongjun army outside the city.
Zhao Yun, who is familiar with Zhang Fei's personality, was also very surprised to learn that Zhang Fei would run away from Dongjun with a large army. When he arrived at the north gate of Dongjun and looked at the horse's hoof and footprints on the ground, Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing bitterly: "ha ha, I didn't expect that mang zhangfei could judge the situation and make such a wise decision. Thanks to his ability to swallow this tone, it seems that I underestimated his loyalty to the Northern Wei Dynasty. "
"Third martial uncle! Are we just watching the 180000 troops return to Jizhou? Are you going to send soldiers to chase them? " Zhang Quan, standing behind Zhao Yun, asked, "as far as I know, there should be 100000 troops led by Cao Ren in Jizhou, as well as Dian Wei, Zhang Ying, Gao Lan and other generals. In addition, Zhang Fei's 180000 troops will not be so easy for us to capture Jizhou."
Zhao Yun suddenly gave a smile and said to Zhang Quan, "don't worry, it's just to let them have more troops."
When Zhang Quan heard Zhao Yun's words, his head was full of confusion, but he didn't understand Zhao Yun's meaning at all. Zhao Yun said with a smile: "if we really eliminate Yanzhou army and set foot on Jizhou, what do you think Cao Ren will do? He is sure to gather all the 100000 Cao troops in Xindu. In addition, Dianwei and other generals will keep the promise. At that time, even if it is our final attack on Xindu, the loss will be great. But once Zhang Fei, a large army, went to Jizhou, Cao Ren would be very sure of guarding Jizhou. Naturally, the general team would be scattered and would not allow us to occupy a city in Jizhou! Little did we know that this would be beneficial to us! What's more, if we rush to catch up with them, our troops are not superior, and we may be taken advantage of by the other side. So we should wait for the army to gather here and attack Jizhou next! "
