Chapter 258

,,,,,,,,,,,,

As night fell, several oil lamps were lit in the camp, making the tent bright as daylight. Yu Jin was lying on the bed. Two military doctors were carefully cleaning up the blood stasis on his legs. Although the soldiers were already showing mercy during the execution, the soldiers beat him with a stick, which still made him feel extremely painful.

However, compared to the heartache of his demotion, the pain in his legs was nothing. Yu Jin lay on the bed, his expression was gloomy and speechless. He thought of Liu Jing, the young man who had suffered great shame back then, had grown into a prince, which made Yu Jin's sense of shame fade much.

However, being demoted to Ya General gave Yu Jin a new shame. He fought in the north for nearly twenty years and was promoted to General Tiger Power step by step, but was demoted to Ya General after a defeat. This made Yu Jin really unacceptable, so it would be better to kill him directly.

At this time, Cao Hong walked in from outside. He walked lightly, and there was an unconcealable excitement in his eyes. As soon as he entered the tent, he smiled and shouted: "So, I have good news to tell you."

Yu Jin ignored him and didn't even raise his eyelids. Cao Hong was stunned. He then understood and winked at the two military doctors. The two military doctors covered Yu Jin with quilts and stepped back.

Cao Hong sat down beside him and asked with a smile: "Why, I'm still angry about the demotion."

Yu Jin sighed, "Who can stand it when General Huwei was demoted to General Ya?"

"You don't have to worry about this. If the Lord General's demotion of your position without the Prime Minister's approval, it will be meaningless. How could your achievements over the years be completely wiped out because of a defeat? Then, relax and nothing will happen."

In fact, Yu Jin also knew that Cao Ren's punishment on him would not take effect without Cao Cao's consent, but this is how people's hearts are. Most of the time, the authorities are confused and need an outsider to untie the knot.

Cao Hong's timely comfort made Yu Jin finally let go of his heart. He nodded and asked with a smile: "What good news did you say just now?"

"Jia He is gone," Cao Hong said proudly.

"Leaving" Yu Jin didn't understand what he meant, and asked in surprise: "Where have you gone?"

"He returned to Yecheng. He felt bored and had an excuse to find his mother back. The general also approved his request. Anyway, that bastard would not appear before us again."

Yu Jin really knows Cao Hong. This person is narrow-minded and careless. He will never let anyone offend him easily. Although Jia Xu was sent away, will Cao Hong stop there?

He looked up at Cao Hong's eyes and tried to confirm his inference from his eyes. Cao Hong did not hide his slightest, and his eyes showed a cold murderous intent. His nephew Cao Ang and Cao Anmin died in Wancheng, so he also wanted to pay tribute to them in Wancheng.

In Wancheng, the sun sets, the mountains are like fire, and the forests are stained with colors. The pedestrians and vehicles on the official road are dragging out long figures and heading north tiredly.

This is the official road north of Wancheng. It has entered Xi'e County. It is close to the east of the official road. The sunset shines on the water, and the fiery red waves are sparkling, as if the water surface is on fire.

A ox cart protected by twenty soldiers was also slowly heading north on the official road. On the small window of the ox cart, Jia Xu leaned against the window and watched the setting sun from afar. The sunset shone on his thin and yellow face, and his eyes were filled with infinite melancholy.

Nearly eight years have passed since the Battle of Wancheng. He thought the hatred had been eliminated, but he did not expect that the hatred was still deeply hidden in the hearts of Cao's brother. Cao Hong was impatient, and his joy and anger were overwhelming, showing his hatred.

So what about Cao Ren's hypocrisy and coldness. Even Cao Cao's heat on the outside and cold on the inside made him unable to enter the core circle of strategists. In fact, these are all internal manifestations of hatred.

Jia Xu couldn't help but remember Zhang Xiu. Although Zhang Xiu's daughter married Cao Jun of Cao Cao and was named General Yang Wu, this could not conceal the fact that Zhang Xiu was neglected.

Just before he set out for Nanyang last month, Zhang Xiu found him and told him something that he met Cao Cao, Cao Pi, in a city gate hole at the beginning of the year, but was insulted by Cao Pi. Zhang Xiu was depressed and said that Cao Pi would kill him sooner or later, and there was a little complaint in his words.

It was him who was Jia Xu who strongly advised Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao. Judging from the situation at that time, when Cao Cao conquers Wancheng for the second time, Zhang Xiu will definitely be defeated, and surrender is undoubtedly the correct decision.

But eight years later, the Cao family still holds a deep grudge against them. Although Cao Cao can tolerate them, what about the other Cao clans, including Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others. Will Cao Cao succeed to the throne after his death? Will he let them go if he let them go after his death?

This made Jia Xu feel a little confused. Was he really wrong to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender? Is it true that he thought of Cao Hong's hatred and Cao Ren's hidden arrows, Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Xiaobaner, Shutong beside him handed a cup of herbal tea, "Grandma, let's drink some water."

Jia Xu withdrew his thoughts, took the teacup and asked with a smile: "Where have you been?"

Xiaobaner has a big round black mole on the tip of his nose, which looks like Mickey Mouse from later generations. He is very clever and has been following Jia Xu for four years. He is eleven years old this year. He leans out and looks out with a smile: "Don't you even recognize this place?"

"Oh, have you arrived in Xi'e County?"

Xi'e County is a county in Wancheng. Zhang Xiu's army was deployed in Xi'e County, and Jia Xu was still busy here for nearly half a year.

Jia Xu smiled bitterly, "It seems that I am really old, and I even forgot about Xi'e County."

"Grandpa is not old, so I can live to one year old."

"This kid"

Jia Xu smiled and touched his round head, thinking of his grandson, and for a moment his heart was filled with the love of his elders.

At this moment, Zhao Shiyuan, the governor who was guarding them, rushed forward and reported urgently: "When joining the army, unknown cavalry are chasing us. I am afraid that the visitors are not good, can we abandon the car and ride horses instead?"

Jia Xu opened the curtain and looked back, and saw dust flying on the official road behind him. It seemed that a famous man in black was chasing him quickly.

After a second thought, Jia Xu understood that Cao Hong was going to kill people half-kill. As long as he died half-kill, it had nothing to do with him, Cao Hong, and could be completely pushed to the bandits along the way.

Jia Xu cursed inwardly, picked up the small board and jumped out of the ox cart. At this time, he ignored the few boxes of his favorite books. Life is the most important thing.

The twenty soldiers who escorted him to Yecheng were the only one of the treasury commanders, Zhao Shiyuan, who rode a horse, and the rest were infantrymen. In addition to a ox cart, they also brought two old horses, just in case, and now they had to rely on these two old horses to save their lives.

Jia Xu is from Liangzhou and has followed Dong Zhuo for many years. The equestrian skills are really good. He put the little board on the horse and turned over the horse. He hugged the Baner in fear with one hand. He grabbed the horse's belly with his legs and rushed out. At this time, the soldiers couldn't care about it. They were just infantrymen and could not help him at all.

Jia Xu ran along the official road as he rode his horse, turned around and looked around, and couldn't help but complain. He also hoped that Zhao Shiyuan would lead the soldiers to resist for a while, but they ran away.

Dozens of men in black chased him tightly, less than two miles apart, and then ran seven or eight miles away. The old horse that Jia Xu rode could no longer hold on and began to foam, and his speed became slower and slower.

At this time, the sunset had already set, the sky was already dark, and the dark twilight enveloped the earth like the palm of the demon king. On the right side of the official road was about ten feet wide. Jia Xu could not do water, so one of them would die if he went down.

On the left is a vast forest, gloomy and dark, revealing a strange atmosphere. At this time, the pursuers behind were no longer able to step in. They began to shoot crossbow arrows, and crossbow arrows whistled over Jia Xu's head.

An arrow shot on Jia Xu's head, inserted into his hair bun against his scalp, and turned into a unique arrow-shaped hairpin.

Jia Xu was so scared that he kicked Xiaobaner off the horse with one kick. At this time, he would throw it away without hesitation, even if he was a scholar or a relative.

Jia Xu transferred his horse out of the official road and ran desperately towards the forest outside. It was inconvenient to gallop in the forest. Perhaps he still had a glimmer of hope of escaping.

But Jia Xu immediately became desperate. A team of cavalry rushed out from the forest, with more than one person, intercepting him in a fan shape. However, Jia Xu suddenly discovered that these people were not men in black, but were actually cavalrymen of Cao's army. They were a general, holding two halberds in their hands, tall and burly, and majestic.

Before Jia Xu could speak, General Double Halberd ordered: "Take good care of Mr. Jia, the rest of the brothers come with me."

He led dozens of cavalry to rush over to the men in black, rushing into the flock of sheep like a tiger. Wherever the general of the two halberds passed, the black-clad knights were killed and turned over, and screams were heard.

Seeing this person extremely fierce and with one battle, Jia Xu suddenly remembered Dian Wei, the general of the Double-Splitting Sword, and was even more surprised. Could this person be possessed by Dian Wei?

But one thing is certain that these cavalrymen were hostile to the men in black and were saved. At this time, Jia Xu saw Xiao Shutong Baner running towards him crying, as if his head had also fallen and his face was covered in blood.

Jia Xu felt distressed for a moment, and quickly turned over and got off the horse, hugged Xiao Shutong and comforted him: "Grandpa didn't hug you tightly just now, and accidentally let you fall off the horse. Next time we won't ride such a bad horse."

Xiao Shutong nodded repeatedly and stopped crying. At this time, the battle had ended. More than 40 black-clad knights were killed, and the rest turned around and fled.

The general of the Double Halberd urged the horse to slowly move forward, turned over and dismounted and bowed, "The rescue was late, which made the sir scared."

Jia Xu suddenly felt that they did not look like Cao Jun, and he was even more surprised and asked carefully: "Is this general's name awesome?"

The general of the Double-Spian halberd smiled, "In the Ganning of Jiangxia, I am ordered by the guard to invite the gentleman to visit Jiangxia."

Jia Xu seemed to have stepped on the air, as if he had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and then stepped into the fire pit. He was actually Liu Jing's man.

He slowly smiled bitterly on his face, as if he understood a little. I'm afraid Yu Jin would have a foreshadowing when he escaped, and there must be Jiang Xia's escort in Cao's camp, otherwise how could they know that they were going back to Ye County

Even when Gan Ning was sent to stop him, Liu Jing valued him a lot. He immediately calmed down, pulled out the arrow hairpin from his head, and dusted the dust on his robe with his fingers.
