Hearing Jia Xu mention the old things from three years ago, Han Sui naturally couldn't keep silent in response, and immediately saw it as a rebuttal.
"Haha, if Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu hadn't been stupid back then, and if Li Wenhou was that good-for-nothing, how could Liu Zhang's meritorious service be in vain? To tell you the truth, I have long seen through Liu Zhang's treacherous plan, but I can't stand Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu, you didn’t expose it now, otherwise Liu Zhang would have died in Meiyang City!”
"Is Han Zhengzheng too deceiving himself? I heard that Han Zhengzheng was stationed in the camp. When he saw Sun Jian coming to attack the camp, he didn't resist at all and gave away the supplies of the 100,000-person camp!"
Han Sui was immediately asked and speechless. This matter was indeed a pain point for him, so he fled without a fight! Just when he was about to refute, Jia Xu didn't expect him to even give him a chance to speak.
"Han Zheng, although victory and defeat are common things in military affairs, you can't be afraid to admit defeat, right? If a general doesn't even have the courage to face failure, what qualifications does he have to lead soldiers in battle?"
Han Sui's expression became worse and worse. He wanted to rely on his old friendship with Jia Xu to persuade him to surrender, but he didn't expect that Jia Xu kept mocking him from above!
"Jia Xu, I'm very polite to you, why do you keep humiliating me? Do you think that Han has no temper at all?"
Jia Xu did not answer, but turned his head to Yang Ren and gave him a meaningful look.
Yang Ren immediately understood what Jia Xu meant, leaned out and began to curse at Han Sui below.
"Rebel, you are so shameless! My military advisor has given you a huge favor by being able to talk to you. I didn't expect you to shamelessly blame my military advisor for insulting you! I tell you, insulting you is a good thing. If If it were me, if I hadn’t scolded all eighteen generations of your ancestors to shame, I would have been sorry to all my ancestors!”
"..."
Yang Ren just kept yelling at the top of his lungs. It must be said that his curse skills were so powerful that Han Sui couldn't even answer the question!
After a long time, Yang Ren finally got tired of scolding. He kept breathing heavily on the side, but shouted in his heart that he was so happy!
"You little bastard! How dare you keep humiliating me! Do you dare to name me?"
Yang Ren had a strong pass and more than ten thousand elite soldiers at his side. How could he be afraid of Han Sui and directly announce his name loudly?
"Listen, I am Yang Ren, the deputy general of Wusheying under the command of General Hou! He specializes in killing rebels like you!"
"Crazy guy! When I break through Yangping Pass, I will definitely skin you and cramp you to vent my hatred!"
Han Sui was about to be furious. He couldn't help but think of the scene of being bullied by Beigong Boyu in his mind, and he wished he could kill the man in front of him right away.
"Hahaha, just you? Who do you think you are? You are just..."
Seeing that Yang Ren was about to start insulting him again, Jia Xu patted his shoulder and pulled him back.
"Han Zhengzhi, I advise you not to waste your efforts."
Han Sui was already here, how could he give up and look proud.
"Jia Xu, to tell you the truth, I have an army of 100,000 people behind me, and I can break through Yangping Pass in an instant! If you want to survive, surrender the city as soon as possible!"
Han Sui was so arrogant that even Huang Zhong, who had always been calm, could not stand it.
"Rebel, don't talk nonsense here. You couldn't even take advantage of a sneak attack at night. Now you dare to utter arrogance here? A hundred thousand troops? What happened to a hundred thousand troops? Let me tell you, I am at this level. There are millions of arrows on the city, I want to see how long your army of 100,000 can hold it back!"
When Han Sui heard this, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Huang Zhong directly hit Han Sui's pain point. The dense arrows yesterday really gave Han Sui a headache!
I thought they were just ordinary city defenders, but I didn't expect these soldiers to be so good at shooting! Before his Xiliang army could even climb the city wall, they were shot to death and suffered heavy casualties!
If, as Huang Zhong said, there were millions of arrows on the city gate, then Han Sui really had to think carefully about whether to attack the city again.
This subtle change in Han Sui's expression was completely noticed by Jia Xu, and he could see through Han Sui's heart at a glance.
"Han Zheng, let me tell you the truth. Since my lord took over Hanzhong, he has been strengthening Yangping Pass every moment just to guard against you! My lord has long known that after he left, you will not be willing to be lonely. You will raise an army to invade, so these million arrows are a gift from my lord!"
The more Han Sui heard, the more frightened he became, and he kept thinking about the gains and losses of attacking Hanzhong. These 100,000 troops are almost all his wealth. Once defeated in Hanzhong, it is completely difficult to say whether Ma Teng, who is entrenched in the northwest of Liangzhou, will form an alliance with him! He might take the opportunity to raise troops and annex his four counties!
"Jia Xu, for the sake of our old friendship, I won't attack the city today! I'll give you one more day to think about it! If you don't surrender after one day, don't blame my men for being ruthless!"
After that, Han Sui ignored the people at Yangping Pass and left slowly with his troops.
"Military advisor, why are you stopping me from scolding this thief again!"
Yang Ren was very puzzled. When Han Sui slipped away just now, Yang Ren wanted to curse, but he was stopped by Jia Xu.
"General Yang, why bother to anger him? We also need a day to prepare!"
Huang Zhong also said yes, now Yangping Pass is indeed in urgent need of repairs!
"Yes, we don't have millions of arrows here. I was just scaring him. In fact, we only have more than 100,000 arrows, and we have almost used them up this night!"
Huang Zhong was also very happy that Han Sui had withdrawn. If Han Sui attacked now, the soldiers guarding the city would have to fight with them! This will undoubtedly increase many casualties!
"Don't worry, General Huang, Yan Juncheng is already preparing supplies, and they will be delivered tonight at the latest!"
Jia Xu had already arranged these things. When he set out, he had already asked the county magistrate Yan Shan to count the supplies and prepare to transport them to Yangping Pass at any time.
At the intersection of Qishan Avenue, Han Sui was camping here.
"Lord, why don't you take advantage of the situation and attack today? They only have 5,000 people in the gate, and they have been fighting bloody battles all night. How can they withstand our repeated attacks?"
Yan Xing was very puzzled. They actually brought 30,000 people there, but these siege troops were hidden behind them. Han Sui could only give the order to start the attack.
Unfortunately, Han Sui did not give this order and instead asked the entire army to return to camp.
"Yan Ming, why don't I want to conquer Yangping Pass in one go, but it's not a good time to attack today!"
"Why?"
"Have you forgotten, who is the guard of Yangping Pass?"
Of course Yan Xing didn't forget it and blurted it out directly.
"It's Huang Zhong."
"Then why do you think Jia Xu appears here?"
"Have reinforcements from Nanzheng arrived? How is this possible?"
Yan Xing exclaimed, his words filled with disbelief.
Only a few hours have passed since the attack on our side. Could it be that Jia Xu can still predict the outcome!
