Chapter 29 Confrontation

"Ho huh huh huh ~"

On Chang'an City, countless Xiliang soldiers waved their weapons excitedly and shouted wildly. After all, they were the imperial soldiers, but were suppressed by a group of bandits. They had already felt anger in their hearts. They didn't know who Xu Huang was, but after today, there would definitely be Xu Huang's place in the Xiliang army. Although the concept of region is very important, in this chaotic era, especially in the army, the strong have always been respected.

Xu Huang was very strong and exclaimed for them. At this moment, Xu Huang returned triumphantly, which naturally made these Xiliang soldiers extremely excited.

On the contrary, Yang Biao and his ministers were heartbroken. Unexpectedly, there was such a powerful general around His Majesty. He could have won over him, but now he was pushed to Guo Zhe by himself. Oh, His Majesty is still too young.

Guo Si was also a little surprised by Xu Huang's ability. Zhang Yi's martial arts skills were good, but Guo Si thought he could beat him, but he would never be so straightforward. Unexpectedly, Xu Huang had such a skill. Looking at Liu Xie's face with a pale face, he thought that Liu Xie personally sent such a general to him, and he felt unreasonable joy in his heart. This little emperor had no idea about gold and jade, and had such a powerful general in front of him, but he tried to win over Yang Ding, a mediocre person, and instead gave him a favor.

At this time, Xu Huang had already returned his troops and came to the city and saluted Liu Xie and Li Jue with his hands crossed, "I'm lucky that I won't be humiliated!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Guo Si clapped his hands and praised: "I don't want to have such a loyal and brave general in my Xiliang army."

Then he turned his head again, looked at Liu Xie with a pale face, and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, General Xu has made contributions to the fight against the thief this time, and he should just turn it over!"

Liu Xie was secretly happy, but his face was still not good-looking, and he pretended to hesitate: "It's just General Xu is my guardian. If he leaves..."

"Your Majesty!" Guo Si shook his head and said, "The position of guard has actually been handed over to General Zhang Xiu half a month ago. If Your Majesty feels it is not enough, the last general can transfer General Yang Ding back to Your Majesty. What does Your Majesty think?"

This statement was simply disgusting Liu Xie. Guo Si had thought about it. What if Yang Ding voted for Liu Xie? There were only hundreds of guards in the palace, and he still had to obey his orders. In addition, with Zhang Xiu's suppression, he could be sure of everything. The little emperor seemed a little ambitious, but he did not have the ability to control this ambition. This time, Guo Si got a general and was less afraid of Liu Xie himself, so he simply put Yang Ding back. Anyway, he was in the palace and Wei Zhong, the insider, so he just let him do it. Anyway, he couldn't escape his palm and let him go. Anyway, in Guo Si's plan, after the situation stabilized in a few years, the emperor would be deposed.

Liu Xie took a deep breath and glared at Guo Si fiercely. Guo Si was not afraid. Liu Xie was thinking in his heart that he was indeed going to push Xu Huang to the throne this time. In front of Guo Si, the more he suppressed Xu Huang, the more Guo Si was naturally more at ease, but his emperor's demeanor could not be lost in front of the three armies.

He took a deep breath and his face was not good, but only Guo Si and others could see it. He said calmly: "Okay, but now the war is imminent, so you can first grant Xu Huang the position of the lieutenant. After repelling the bandits, you will be granted additional titles. What do the general think?"

"General Xu, why don't you thank Your Majesty?" Guo Si looked at Liu Xie's face like a fly, and felt more proud in his heart, and glanced at Xu Huang.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Huang took a step forward, still maintaining his straightforward style, and did not show any dissatisfaction because of Liu Xie's previous suppression. This is Xu Huang's character, he did not deliberately flatter Guo Si, nor did he deliberately anger Liu Xie.

Since Xu Huang is required, Guo Si has sent someone to investigate Xu Huang's character and style, with a straightforward personality and no fear of power, and is therefore rejected by his colleagues. However, it is precisely this kind of person that can be used with confidence.

Although he won for a while, Zhang Yi was just Yang Feng's vanguard. After the defeated army returned, although Yang Feng was angry that his beloved general was killed, he did not have the intention to retreat. After joining the defeated army, he made a comeback in just three days. This time, the army besieged the city.

In the era of cold weapons, the siege of the city was not about surrounding the city by force, but instead divided the troops to garrison some important roads around the city, cut off the water source, and force the opponent to go out of the city to fight. The pure siege of the city was only done if it had an absolute advantage in military strength.

Yang Fengze led the main force to fight day and night outside the city. This time, Yang Feng was not prepared to fight the generals, but instead drove cars and horses outside the city, preparing to rely on his military strength to deal with the Xiliang army.

After Liu Xie went to the city on the first day, he did not come to the city to watch the battle again. He stayed in the palace all day long and worked hard. Guo Si only thought he was discouraged, and now that the troops were at the city, he was too lazy to pay attention to it.

Although there was no food and water outside the city, Chang'an City was the capital, with sufficient food and water reserves, which were enough to support Li Jue's return. Guo Si didn't care about Yang Feng's oppression, especially after having Xu Huang, he was not afraid of the Baibo thief's confrontation. In the past few days, the two sides fought more than ten formations under the city. Although there were wins and losses, because of Xu Huang, the general, he won more than less.

Guo Si became more and more satisfied with Xu Huang, the general. Every time there was an important decision-making meeting, Xu Huang would definitely ask him to come and attend. After a few days, he found that Xu Huang was not only brave but also talented in command. Many things and unique insights made Guo Si pay more attention to Xu Huang.

"Who is Xu Huang!" Yang Feng's tent was filled with hatred and punched the table. In the past few days, Bai Bo's thief won fewer and lost more, almost all thanks to Xu Huang's gift.

I thought that Li Jue had left the pass and robbed Yingchuan, and Ma Teng and Han Sui joined forces to attack, so he could take advantage of the emptiness of Chang'an to rob the emperor and welcome Luoyang, and then use the emperor to command the princes. Unexpectedly, although the city of Chang'an was empty, a general like Xu Huang was born, and he defeated him several times, which made him only see that Chang'an City was ahead, but could not go further.

"Ship Yang!" Baibo thief general Li Le said in a deep voice: "That Xu Huang is too difficult to deal with. And I heard that Li Jue is ready to return. If we drag it on, we may be attacked from both sides. Since we cannot achieve full results in this battle, it is better to retreat to Hedong first and wait for an opportunity to fight again."

"Hateful!" Yang Feng nodded in anger. For the sake of the current plan, he was unwilling to say in his heart: "If there was no Xu Huang, Chang'an had been broken by us at this moment!"

Li Le, Hu Cai, and Han Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly when they heard this. Even if Xu Huang wasn't there, it would be difficult for Guo Si to deal with it alone!

Just as he was about to pack his bags, he saw someone under the tent come out and bowed and said, "Report to Yang Shuai, I am willing to go to Chang'an tonight, and maybe I can convince Xu Huang to turn against him."

"Oh?" Yang Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Fang Sheng? Do you know that Xu Huang?"

"Yes, this person was originally from Yang County, Hedong, and was a fellow villager with the Mo General. In his early years, he was a minor official under Yang Shuai's command. Later, the Taiwei Zhang Wen was ordered to fight against the thieves. He was conscripted and joined the army. He followed the Taiwei to Xiliang to suppress the Qiang Rebellion. He didn't expect that he would come to Guo Si's tent now." Fang Sheng bowed and said, "Then Li Jue, Guo Si, is a traitor. He will go to the end of the night. Xiaoming is powerful and a fellow villager. He should be said to be here to surrender."

When Yang Feng heard this, he was overjoyed and said a little regretful: "I don't want to miss such a talent! Fang Sheng, if you can convince General Xu to come and give you a thousand gold, if you can rescue Your Majesty from the cage in the future, recommend it to you."

Although Xu Huang blocked their way, they were their own masters. Yang Feng is the uncrowned king of Hedong. If he could get Xu Huang, a tiger general, and he would not be too late to be regarded as a guest of honor, how could he blame him? In this chaotic era, being able to get such a general is a great joy for any prince. As for the previous grievances, few princes would really care about it.

"Look, let's go here!" Fang Sheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly agreed and got up immediately. After cleaning up, he disguised himself as a down-and-out merchant, left the Baibo thief camp and went straight to Chang'an.

Now that there is war, the Chang'an city gate will naturally not open. Fang Sheng was still under the city, but he was shot by the defenders on the top of the city with arrows. He quickly took two steps back and said in a long voice: "I am the old friend of General Xu Huang. I have received news recently and I have come to like each other."

In the past few days, Xu Huang's reputation has begun to spread around Chang'an. In the Western Liang army, Xu Huang's reputation is even more famous. The three armies are convinced. A commander of the city guard poked his head out from the top of the city and said aloud: "Who are you? Come on the name and I'll go to Tongchuan."

"I am Fang Sheng, Hedong Yang County!" Fang Sheng hurriedly said loudly, afraid that Xu Huang would forget him, so he specially added Yang County, Hedong.

"Wait!" The captain responded and turned to inform Xu Huang.

At this moment, Xu Huang was studying strategies with Guo Si in the military camp. Suddenly someone came to report that Fang Sheng from Yang County, Hedong came to surrender to Xu Huang. Xu Huang was stunned and then was overjoyed. He bowed to Guo Si and said, "I am a fellow villager. This person is also quite brave. Finally, I will take him here and recommend him to the general."

"Oh?" Guo Si raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Since he is a fellow general, he should welcome him. General, let's go."

Xu Huang said goodbye and turned around and left.

Guo Si was about to return to the camp, but a military general came over and said, "General, Yang Feng is also a native of Hedong."

Guo Si stopped when he heard this, turned his head and looked at the man and said, "You mean..."

"You must be careful!"
