Chapter 9: Failed to Xiangyang

Zhang Yu's feeling was quite correct. In an instant, the sky and the earth were the same color. The only thing that could be seen in the dim sky was the vast clouds floating over. The wind suddenly rose. This wind made Zhang Yu feel uneasy and didn't know what might have happened, but what happened must be something Zhang Yu didn't want to see.

Xujiang's Imperial Jing army had already rushed into the city. Guan Yue sent troops to fight. Xinye City Gate had been lost. If this continues, the consequences would be unimaginable. Deng Hui's reinforcements were not delayed, and Guan Yue was not sure, but he was a general. If Guan Yue could not defend Xinye, he could commit suicide in Xinye City and drown in this golden sword and iron horse.

"General, this is the best time for us!" Yang Sui said to Xu Jiang. Such a smooth attack was so unbearable by Zhang Yu. He was cautious and timid. Yang Sui gave Zhang Yu this definition in his heart. Unfortunately, Zhang Yu didn't know, otherwise he would have to fight back a few words.

"Yes, so smooth, I have no fighting spirit!" Xu Jiang said with a smile. The spear in his hand did not have a drop of blood. The soldiers were very motivated, and it was enough to deal with these soldiers who were greater than that.

"General, let's leave the city!" Suddenly, Guan Yue's deputy general said, kneeling on the ground and begging Guan Yue.

Guan Yue seemed to have been hit by a bolt from the blue, and his deputy general actually asked him to escape. This was completely unacceptable to Guan Yue. It was a pity that he was his deputy general. According to military law, this crime should be killed. Guan Yue was just talking to him and didn't know how to say it. The battle under the city was so fierce, but Guan Yue had no intention of regaining Xinye.

"At this time, as generals, it is already a death sentence for us not to fight the enemy in front of us. You said that we abandoned the city and left. We are generals of Jingzhou, and all seven counties were destroyed. In the end, it is our responsibility. How can you do such a treacherous thing? This is also a deception of the king!" Guan Yue said loudly, his fist tightly, and turned around to grab the sword on his right hand.

"General, please spare me!" Before the deputy general could say anything, Guan Yue's sword had already landed on his neck.

"I have been working with you for more than four years. Since I defended Jingzhou, I have always taken your achievements in my heart for the past four years. But now you say such words really make me united!" Guan Yue's mouth twitched, and the sword could not fall.

"General, please spare my life. I just want the general to survive. It's time. This is greater than that. Deng Yu, the incompetent coward, Deng Huang, Deng Hui and his father and son. These people were created by them. If the general is their confidant, if Jingzhou is really so important to them, why not come? Even if he comes now, what is it?" The deputy general bowed and looked at Guan Yue.

Guan Yue was shocked and moved. He didn't know how to tell his deputy. What he said was right, but he was a general who was greater than that.

"You are so ruthless, you are punishing the nine clans!" Guan Yue said to his deputy general in a low voice, walked closer a few steps, looked at him, and was seriously covered with bloodshots, and Guan Yue's sword was also put away.

"I just want the general to be alive. The general is a great cause, different from us!" said the deputy general, and by this time he was already crying.

Guan Yue stood up with a serious look. Seeing the west of the city, soldiers were now rising, and the forces of the Yujing army had already surrounded Xinye City. Guan Yue closed his eyes and tears flowed down.

"General Deng Hui's reinforcements will definitely come!" Guan Yue said this, but his hands and his heart could never be unified.

Xu Jiang was a little happy about his speed of march. Now no one in Xinye City can match him, and only those ants are just some waste.

Just as Xu Jiang was happy, a heavy rain came unexpectedly. Xu Jiang was caught off guard. His armor was wet. Xu Jiang's smile remained unabashed. Xu Guang and Yang Sui were all looking forward to the final victory of this battle.

In the military camp, as the heavy rain fell, Zhang Yu felt even more panicked. In desperation, he left his tent and went straight to Wang Jiujin's kitchen tent.

"Why are you worried about today's battle?" Wang Jiujin walked over with a bowl of ginger soup.

"I don't have a cold with wind and heat, why do I cook ginger soup for me?" Zhang Yu looked at Wang Jiujin.

"I'm asking you something, please reply to me first. I'm driving away the cold. This heavy rain is so cold!" Wang Jiujin said, sitting down and looking at Zhang Yu.

"Sadness? Where did you feel sad? I'm worried!" Zhang Yu paused for a moment, looked around, and then slowly spoke after confirming that there was no one, lowering his voice: "Today's heavy rain is an ominous sign for me. It is very likely that the Jing army will be defeated and returned!" Zhang Yu said, and after taking a sip of ginger soup, his whole body felt hot.

"How can you say that? You have also seen the strength of the Yujing Army. There are only so many states in the world. Being able to allow the Yujing Army to occupy one state means that the power of the Greater Than is powerless and is no longer able to support the world!" Wang Jiujin said.

"Pediatric!" Zhang Yu looked at Wang Jiujin and said, "It might have been a conspiracy before, but as anyone who held great power in the court would have allowed a team like the Yujing Army to grow and grow. Now it has reached a point where it cannot be seen. You must always take a look at the specific situation!" Zhang Yu said to Wang Jiujin, which was a reminder to Wang Jiujin.

The heavy rain was heavy, and the raindrops made it impossible for people facing each other to see clearly. The earlier Guan was already killing the enemy. The more the deputy general was expelled by Guan, the less Guan wanted him to die with him. He was a guilty person, and the deputy general was not guilty.

At this moment, a group of people from the west of the city suddenly arrived in the rain.

Yang Zhi's troops met Deng Hui's troops who arrived suddenly: "Report to General Xu Jiang quickly, we must withdraw our troops when reinforcements arrive!" Yang Zhi put down his order. Yang Zhi was surprised that Zhang Yu guessed such a thing, and he was quite surprised, and things were so surprising.

Zhang Yu received a report from a spy that Deng Hui's reinforcements arrived in the west of the city. It seems that there are as many as 100,000 people on the road.

"Far more than 100,000 people!" Zhang Yu was frightened. What is the concept of 100,000 people? It was enough to make the entire Jingzhou return to Dayu's hands. Unfortunately, the foundation was moved. What we have to do now is to rescue Xu Jiang and Yang Zhi, and then return to Xiangyang to discuss things again.

Before this, Zhang Yu had already looked at the map carefully. Xiangyang, Nanjun is the prefecture's capital. It can defend against 100,000 enemies here, and no other place can do this. In this alone, he has a chance of winning.

"Rise up and enter the city to rescue General Xu!" Zhang Yu ordered five thousand troops to march towards the South Gate of Xinye.

Yang Zhi of Ximen had too few troops and could defend against the enemy for a while, but he had already exhausted all his money and had not survived.

When Zhang Yu led his troops into the city, Xu Jiang was defeated and left. Deng Hui's reinforcements were caught off guard and there was no time for hesitation.

"General, rescue is late!" Zhang Yu said to Xu Jiang.

"Thank you, the military advisor. The back team has changed to the front team, and now we set out towards Xiangyang City!" Xu Jiang said quickly.

The heavy rain had no sense of stopping, and everyone's body was wet, accompanied by the sound of the wind, and the chill was pressing. Looking back, the fire in Xinye Castle had been extinguished in the heavy rain.
