That night, he was always in a dilemma between heaven and man.
He just felt uneasy to the extreme.
After tossing and turning all night, Jia Xu finally made a decision.
As soon as the sky turned bright, he immediately called Jia Hong and several Sima and Qujunhous under his command to his commander's tent.
"Withdraw troops a hundred miles?"
After listening to Jia Xu's order, several Sima and military commanders present were shocked.
General Niu fought a battle with the enemy last night, but now our own side wants to retreat. Doesn't this make it clear that we must keep our word to the general? Looking back, these people will be killed or cut into pieces. Isn't it all a matter of General Niu's words?
Jia Hong couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
The head of the family, after all, has never overcome his own inner demons, what a pity, what a pity.
But I saw a Sima asked Jia Xu: "Xiao Lieutenant! If you act like this, if General Niu is held accountable in the future and wants to punish us for our crimes, what should we do?"
When Jia Xu heard this, he was a little silent.
Later, Fang heard him say: "It doesn't matter, this is General Niu's order. He asked us to retreat a hundred miles back, and then he will make other orders. You don't have to be confused, just do it. If you turn around, I will blame the general."
One person is responsible for it, so get it done quickly!"
Although Jia Xu's men had some doubts in their hearts, since Jia Xu had already said this and issued a death order, they had no choice but to do it.
After these people left, Jia Xu finally felt relieved.
He gently rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Finally, I can finally have a peaceful sleep."
When Jia Hong heard what Jia Xu said, he felt dumbfounded.
It's obvious that you're just looking for trouble, scaring yourself, and in the end it's as if you've solved a big problem that's very difficult to deal with. Who doesn't want you to sleep?
My father-in-law is as timid as a mouse.
At this moment, I saw a guard suddenly rushing into the handsome account!
With a look of horror on his face, he shouted to Jia Xu: "Captain! Enemy troops are coming to attack the camp!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu was immediately stunned.
And Jia Hong was also a little at a loss.
How is it possible? It’s just after nightfall, and someone comes here?
"Which army is the opponent? The Jizhou Army? Or Bao Xin and Qiao Mao?"
The guard said in a panic: "The opponent's flag is for Guan Yu, the captain of the Liaodong vassal state!"
Although Jia Xu has never been to Hebei, he knows to some extent who the famous generals in various states and counties in Hebei are.
Guan Yu's reputation is very high in Youzhou, and he and Gongsun Zan are both ranked high. He is a fierce frontier general who defended the Han Dynasty against Xianbei.
Now that such a figure appears in front of his military camp, there is no doubt that he cannot be his opponent!
Jia Xu panicked immediately. He stood up in a hurry and said, "Follow me out and take a look!"
After saying this, Jia Xu, Jia Hong, and several guards rushed out of the handsome tent.
At this moment, after Guan Yu's troops gathered on the shore, they had already invaded the Xiliang Army's camp!
Guan Yu's soldiers and horses were few, only a thousand, while Jia Xu's soldiers and horses were two thousand.
In terms of quantity, Jia Xu's troops and horses were twice as many as Guan Yu's, but their combat effectiveness was not necessarily stronger than Guan Yu's.
The quality of the soldiers in both armies is naturally important, but the most important thing is the general's ability to use troops and his strategy before the battle.
As for whether Guan Yu is calculated by calculation or not, at the same time, he himself is also a fierce general with unparalleled force. These thousand elite soldiers are all the elites he has trained in Youzhou for a long time. They have followed him in fierce battles on the border all year round. They are very familiar with Guan Yu's tactics. It can be said that
The soldiers know the generals, and the generals know the soldiers.
Guan Yu asked them to go east, and they could poke a hole in the east sky.
Guan Yu asked them to go west, and they would cause the mountains and the earth to collapse in the west.
Although Jia Xu had great intelligence and scheming, when it came to the ability to use troops and the formation of troops, he was far behind Guan Yu.
After all, his strength is still in using strategy, and leading troops in war is not his strength.
To put it bluntly, these two people are not on the same level at all.
At this moment, Guan Yu was like a god descending to earth. He was riding on a war horse, and the sword in his hand was flying back and forth, constantly killing the Xiliang soldiers who were rushing towards him.
Guan Yu has no one who can join him. The Qinglong Sword is unrivaled in its opening and closing. Every time the blade passes, there will be blood. It is so powerful that once each sword collides with the weapon, it will definitely knock away two or three soldiers.
Led by Guan Yu, the thousand Youzhou sergeants were also in high morale and full of killing intent.
The sergeants of Hebei Province were calculated mentally and unintentionally. The soldiers followed Guan Yu in the enemy's camp and clashed with the hastily organized defense system of the Xiliang Army.
The Xiliang army's defense was useless in front of them. Guan Yu led the sergeants with his bravery, stimulating the soldiers' fighting power and fighting spirit to the highest level in the shortest possible time.
Although the Xiliang army is not weak, they currently lack soul figures and have no outstanding generals to direct them in battle, resulting in a huge disparity in combat power between the two sides.
Jia Xu was not a person who could lead troops in battle. He just glanced at the battle situation in the camp and had an idea.
Seeing that his two thousand troops were in a state of total collapse, he immediately realized that this was not a place to stay for a long time.
Jia Xu was not in the mood to accompany these soldiers to death. He did not have enough courage to face the enemy in battle. There was only one thing he had to do now, and that was to escape quickly!
"Evacuate with me quickly!" Jia Xu ordered Jia Hong without hesitation.
After hearing Jia Xu's shameless military order, Jia Hong did not hesitate at all, because he knew his master very well.
If at this moment Jia Xu said that Jia Hong would prepare a sword and a war horse for him, and that he would personally go to the front line to fight to the death with the Hebei army, then Jia Hong would think it was a strange thing.
The Xiliang Army without a general in charge is simply useless. In the face of Guan Yu and other powerful forces, their defeat is only a matter of time.
Guan Yu defeated the Xiliang army at an extremely fast speed, and then he personally captured a military lord of the Xiliang army and asked, "Where is Jia Xu?"
The military lord was also a tough man, and he spat heavily at Guan Yu: "Bitch thief, how can I betray the captain's whereabouts to you..."
Before he could finish his words, Guan Yu swung his sword and cut off his head.
Then Guan Yu once again led his men to arrest people in the camp.
The Xiliang Military Academy was very stubborn. After Guan Yu arrested several people, these people, regardless of whether they really knew Jia Xu's whereabouts, would rather die than tell Guan Yu.
Although these people were eventually killed by Guan Yu, Guan Yu still had some respect for them in his heart.
The Xiliang army is the strongest army in the world, and it does have its reasons.
After Guan Yu killed several Xiliang Military Schools in succession, he still didn't see these people telling him about Jia Xu's whereabouts, so he couldn't help but feel curious.
Don't these people know where Jia Xu is?
Later, Guan Yu no longer used this method. He was afraid that Jia Xu would escape, so he divided his troops into three groups and pursued the traces of the Xiliang Army's defeated troops in the camp. At the same time, he ordered the cavalry to find a way to get out of the camp first and block the Xiliang Army's escape.
path.
Guan Yu killed the enemies all the way and rode his horse to the big tent deep in the camp. He didn't even dismount and rode straight in.
The big tent was empty, there was nothing, it was already empty of people.
Guan Yu was very anxious when he saw this.
Liu Jian did not arrange any arduous tasks for Guan Yu in this battle. He just asked Guan Yu to find a way to capture Jia Xu alive. If Guan Yu couldn't do it well, then he, the fourth of the Zhuojun Five Tigers, would probably be in trouble in the future.
It will make a few others laugh out loud.
Guan Yu was anxious, and then he rushed out of the tent on horseback, preparing to search in the direction in which the Xiliang soldiers were escaping.
At this moment, Jushou from behind and his bodyguards rode up to catch up.
"Yun Chang, have you ever caught Jia Xu?"
Guan Yu felt very guilty and said: "Oh, I am really ashamed that I have never caught this beast!"
Jushou did not blame him. He just raised his hand and pointed to the north: "I have always heard from my lord that Jia Xu is a wise man. If he is an expert, he will definitely not take the overland route to escape at this moment. After all, there is a vast plain around here."
If we were to travel by land, the target would be too big and our army would easily catch up. If I were him, I would flee by water!"
Guan Yu suddenly understood after hearing this.
He said to Jushu: "What you said is very reasonable! Guan will pursue you north now!"
Jushu said: "This is just what I think, but Jia Xu may not do this. Yun Chang still needs to divide his troops and send people everywhere to chase him!"
Guan Yu heard this and said, "Sir, what you said is very good!"
Afterwards, Guan Yu divided his troops into four groups and pursued them in four directions. He himself followed Ju Shou's instructions and ran towards the direction of the Yellow River!
On the other hand, Jia Xu, protected by Jia Hong, dressed in ordinary soldier uniforms, followed the troops of the Xiliang Army and fled toward the ferry in the north.
Sure enough, wise men all have the same concerns!
He and Jushu thought of going together.
In Jia Xu's view, the chance of escaping by land was slim, and the hope of escaping by water was greater.
Unfortunately, as soon as they ran to the ferry, before they saw the boat, they heard a violent sound of horse hooves behind them, and the ground seemed to be shaken.
Jia Xu's face turned pale, and he knew without looking back that Guan Yu's cavalry must be chasing him.
Jia Hong looked back and saw a general wearing scale armor, holding a green dragon sword, and galloping majestically. It was Guan Yu.
Seeing Guan Yu chasing after him, the Xiliang soldiers panicked and fled in all directions. At this time, no one of the brave and capable Liangzhou soldiers dared to face Guan Yu's attack.
But Guan Yu did not kill them. He rode his horse to the river and ordered the soldiers to line up!
He himself clamped the horse's belly with force, causing the horse to stand upright and neigh loudly.
"Anyone who dares to escape again will be killed without mercy!"
Guan Yu's loud shouts echoed along the river bank and reached the ears of every Xiliang soldier who wanted to escape.
Facing Guan Yu, who was like a god descending to earth, Xiliang soldiers dropped their weapons one after another, knelt on the spot, and shouted loudly: Spare your life!
Jia Xu also knelt down along with the Xiliang soldiers. He lowered his head and curled up, not daring to make a sound.
When Guan Yu swept around the people, he saw that they were all dressed in the uniforms of ordinary Xiliang sergeants, so he did not raise any suspicion.
"Do you know where Jia Xu is?"
Facing Guan Yu's questioning, the soldiers all shook their heads and shouted: I don't know.
As soon as Guan Yu pulled the reins of his horse, he was about to go somewhere else.
Before leaving, Guan Yu suddenly thought of something and stopped his horse.
He thought to himself: Since Jia Xu is a scheming person as his brother said, what if he disguised himself as an ordinary soldier and mingled with the deserters, wouldn't he get away with it in a fool's errand?
Thinking of this, Guan Yu turned to look at the Xiliang soldiers present.
After that, Guan Yu was seen slowly coming on horseback and stood still in front of the soldiers.
He glanced majestically at the soldiers present.
Even though he is dressed like an ordinary soldier, Jia Xu is still a scholar. There must be differences in temperament and appearance between a scholar and ordinary Liangzhou soldiers. As long as you look carefully, Guan will not be mistaken!
So Guan Yu ordered the Xiliang soldiers to stand in a row. He slowly rode his horse and walked past these people, looking at them one by one.
After a while, Guan Yu walked up to Jia Xu and Jia Hong.
After just looking at them briefly for a while, Guan Yu felt that something was not right about these two people.
Whether it was in terms of body shape, temperament or other aspects, these two men gave Guan Yu the impression that they did not look like ordinary soldiers. The gap was huge.
Guan Yu slowly raised the Green Dragon Sword, pointed at Jia Xu and Jia Hong back and forth, and said: "Extend your hands to show me!"
When Jia Xu heard Guan Yu say this, his heart suddenly became cold.
But he still obediently stretched out his hands, but with his palms facing up.
Jia Hong next to him also followed Jia Xu's example and stretched out his palms.
Guan Yu's cold voice came: "Turn the back of your hand over!"
Jia Xu and Jia Hong turned their hands over helplessly.
After watching for a while, Guan Yu showed a happy smile.
"Who are you two?"
Jia Xu said: "We are just ordinary soldiers. Please spare our lives, general."
Ordinary sergeant?
Guan Yu narrowed his red eyes and said coldly: "In the bitter cold land of Liangzhou, the backs of the hands of ordinary soldiers are covered with cold calluses. But look at your two hands, how can they look like they have suffered at all? You are not asking for it from the truth.
