Chapter 149: First acquaintance with Xu Huang
Yang Fan, who rushed over after hearing the news, was shocked when he saw Zu Mao dying and asked in confusion: "How could this happen? Then there are talented people in Sishui Pass?"
Cheng Pu, the least injured, replied: "At that time, the gate of Sishuiguan was closed, so the four of us carried Guo Si and walked in. But as soon as we reached the gate, we found that the atmosphere was wrong. At least hundreds of Xiliang troops were ambushed in the gate. When we saw that the situation was wrong, we left Guo Si and fought with him. We had hoped that the major general would lead his troops, but we didn't expect that there was a general in the enemy who had great martial arts skills. One of us blocked the offensive of the four of us. Darong was seriously injured, so we had to retreat."
After hearing this, Yang Fan frowned and comforted softly: "You are lucky to be in Demou, hurry up and go and rest!"
Yang Fan and Sun Jian then discussed in the Central Army's tent.
Sun Jian said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow I will lead the army to tackle the difficulties."
Yang Fan shook his head and said, "No, according to Demou, there are talented people in Sishui Pass, and a strong attack will only increase casualties."
Sun Jian said: "What should I do? You can't keep surrounding me, right?"
Yang Fan said: "Tomorrow we will go to the ward to challenge, and see who the guard is before making plans."
Sun Jian nodded and replied, "Okay, then I will challenge you to vent my anger for Darong."
Xu Huang saved Guo Si's life when he made his debut. After Guo Si woke up, he said that he would submit a report to Dong Zhuo that Xu Huang was the General of the Central Army. Because Guo Si was seriously injured and it was inconvenient to go to the ground, he immediately asked Xu Huang to guard Sishui Pass for him and decide on all matters within the pass. At the same time, he sent people to rush to Hulao Pass and asked Dong Zhuo to appoint reinforcements.
The next day, early morning.
Sun Jian brought 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers to challenge him. No matter how he cursed, Xu Huang just stayed in the door. Sun Jian had no choice but to send someone to call Yang Fan.
Yang Fan then came down from Dian Wei and Xu Chu's guards to the gate and shouted to the gate: "Who is the one who is on the gate? Can you tell me the name?"
When Xu Huang saw a young general shouting outside the pass, he immediately replied loudly: "Sir Xu Huang, who is you?"
When Yang Fan heard this, he was stunned and thought to himself how Xu Huang could have appeared in Sishui Pass. It was so difficult to deal with. Xu Huang is a famous guardian in history.
Yang Fan replied: "Yang Fan of a certain family was appointed as General Xu, why did General Xu help the evildoer? If he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light at this time, and the switch was surrendered, Yang would definitely report to the emperor and have already expressed his merits to General Xu."
Xu Huang smiled and said, "Prime Minister Dong is the minister of the country. As Han ministers, you have received the emperor's kindness in the world and are not loyal to serving the country. You even raised an army to rebel. If you let go of your arms and surrender to the emperor, you will definitely plead with the emperor for you and others."
Yang Fan didn't expect Xu Huang to be so good at speaking, so he couldn't help but plan to retake this person. He said immediately: "Everyone in the world says that you, Xu Gongming, have extraordinary martial arts skills, and I don't know if you have the courage to come out of seclusion and compete."
Xu Huang laughed and said, "Everyone said that Yang Zhengbei's civil and military skills are the best in our generation. I don't know if he has enough courage to enter the pass and fight with me. Don't worry, no matter what the outcome is, I will personally escort Yang Zhengbei out of the pass!"
Xu Huang said nothing, making Yang Fan speechless. Yang Fan had no choice but to take back the army and discuss countermeasures with Guo Jia.
Yang Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Fengxiao, you have seen it too. Xu Huang is really hard to deal with. If we wait until Dong Zhuo reinforcements arrive, wouldn't we return without success?"
Guo Jia was carefully looking at the information sent by Diting Camp, which briefly described Xu Huang's situation. After Yang Fan asked, Guo Jia replied: "Xu Huang is a talented person, but he does not avoid the edge. He was originally a general of Yang Feng, but this time he took charge of the defenders of Sishui Pass because he saved Guo Si and became Yang Feng's superior. I thought Yang Feng was dissatisfied. We might as well start with Yang Feng and provoke their relationship."
Yang Fan felt it was feasible and said, "But who will I send?"
Guo Jia volunteered and said, "Jia is willing to go!"
After hearing this, Yang Fan shook his head and said, "No, at this time when the two armies are fighting, I will not let Fengxiao take the risk. I will not agree to exchange Luoyang City for Fengxiao! Not to mention this mere Sishui Pass."
Guo Jia was moved after hearing this and thought in his heart that he must repay Yang Fan's kindness for knowing her. He said, "Lord, when Dong Zhuo's reinforcements arrive, all our previous efforts will no longer exist. At this time, there is this opportunity. Jia is willing to persuade Yang Feng to surrender with his perfect tongue!"
Yang Fan still shook his head and said, "If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, he is a major official of our army. How can he take risks easily? I don't agree."
Guo Jia was inexplicably moved, and immediately stood up to Dian Wei. Xu Chu said, "The two generals hope to take good care of their lords. Jia will come when they go. This opportunity is very precious. Jia can't bear to slip away from our army like this. Tomorrow morning, Yang Fengding switch will surrender."
Seeing that Guo Jia was going to disobey his decision, Yang Fan immediately stood up and ordered Dian Wei: "Come on evil, please take good care of Fengxiao, don't let him leave our military camp half a step. We will discuss matters with Sun Jian!" Yang Fan then walked outside the tent and went to Sun Jian.
Dian Wei was very loyal. He was executed to the end of Yang Fan's order, and he was always at Guo Jia. Even when Guo Jia went to the cottage, Dian Wei was standing next to him, staring at him with his cow eyes.
Guo Jia had no choice but to say, "Come on the bad side, let me go. Think about it, you can break through the gate without a single soldier, why not do it?"
After hearing this, Dian Wei shook his head and replied, "I don't know those great principles, but my lord ordered me to guard you, and I will always guard you. If you worship filial piety, you should stay in the military camp with peace of mind. If I am here, don't run away."
Guo Jia was furious. Facing Dian Wei, even though he had various plans, he had no chance to start. Finally, Guo Jia suddenly thought of a plan and saw him walking towards Guan Yu's camp on his own.
When Guan Yu saw Guo Jia coming, he looked puzzled, but he smiled and said, "Why does Fengxiao have the leisure to come to Guan Mou? Come and sit down!"
Guo Jia came to Guan Yu, spoke softly with his ears, and expressed his thoughts.
Guan Yu was stunned after hearing this, glanced at Dian Wei behind Guo Jia, and smiled bitterly: "Come on evil, why are you here?"
Dian Wei replied: "My lord ordered me to look at Fengxiao and not let him leave the camp. Chief Yun, would you like to help Fengxiao stop me?"
Guan Yu smiled and said, "How could it be? Since it was the lord's order, Guan naturally obeyed it. Why would I watch Fengxiao together?"
Dian Wei shook his head and said, "No, I'm enough by myself. Chang Yun, please go and do your business if you have something to do!"
At this time, Guo Jia quickly winked at Guan Yu. After seeing this, Guan Yu smiled bitterly, thinking that Guo Jia's plan was very good and the possibility of success was very high. The lord Yang Fan was just worried about Guo Jia's safety, so he agreed to help Guo Jia. After seeing him nodding slightly at Guo Jia, he suddenly fell to the ground and shouted: "Ah..."
Dian Wei was honest and did not think about it. He quickly helped Guan Yu up and asked with concern: "Chang Yun, what are you doing?"
Guan Yu said with pain on his face: "Yu's old disease relapses, so his heart is extremely painful."
Dian Wei asked anxiously: "Then are there any medicine? I'll get it for you?"
Guan Yu said painfully: "No, you can only rely on Zhongjing's acupuncture to relieve the pain."
Dian Wei did not doubt that he was there, so he stood up and said, "I'll go to find Doctor Zhang now. Chief Yun, you have to hold on!" Before leaving, Dian Wei said to Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, take care of Chief Yun, I'll come when I go!" After Dian Wei finished speaking, he left Guan Yu's camp and went to find Zhang Ji.
After seeing Dian Wei leave, Guan Yu and Guo Jia look at each other in an instant, and Guo Jia smiles bitterly and says, "It's really bad..."
Guan Yu also smiled bitterly and said, "It's over, I will ignore me for a while when the evil comes."
Guo Jia bowed to Guan Yu and said, "Thank you, Yunchang, for helping you, Jia is gone!"
Guan Yu nodded and said, "You must be extremely careful when Fengxiao is wrong. If Fengxiao fails, Yu will regret it for life!"
Guo Jia smiled confidently and said, "Captain Yun, don't worry, then Yang Feng has no reason to kill me. Besides, when he went there, Jia brought him a wealth and honor. Why did he still kill me? The lord needs to tell you about it."
Guan Yu nodded solemnly, and then ordered two personal soldiers to escort Guo Jia out of the Yang family army's camp and head to Sishui Pass.
Yang Fan, who was discussing the problem with Sun Jian in a tent, didn't know that Guo Jia would give him such a move.
