Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick...

One drop, two drops, three drops and four drops...

The county surrounded by burning flames, the soldiers kneeling down at Guo Jia looked up at the sky in shock. The raindrops falling from the sky seemed even more incredible than gold!

Time seems to freeze at this moment, the noise has stopped, and the war has stopped.

The Jingzhou army, who killed the Taiping Army outside the city, stopped and looked up at the sky, looking shocked.

The Taiping Army, who was running away from the city, stood there, stretched out his hand to feel the realness of the rain, confirming that this was not an illusion.

At first it was just a drizzle, but it soon fell down!

The generals in front of the Jingzhou army were all stunned. Liu Biao looked up at the sky with his head raised, and the heavy rain pierced his body like a knife and a sword. His eyes, with blurred vision, refused to close, as if he wanted to see through the sky!

Countless coke and tincture oil were piled up in the houses around the city. The fire quickly ignited the entire city of Pian County. Even if the siege fire runs through the Pian County, it would be difficult to extinguish the manpower alone. But is it God's will to rain heavily on the sky?

Cai Mao and Huang Zu both looked at a loss, and rushed to Liu Biao's horse with his feet staggering. With the heavy rain crackling, he clasped his fists to Liu Biao and shouted: "Lord, what should we do now? The fire in the city is about to be extinguished by the rain. Will we take the opportunity to kill into the city?"

Liu Biao, who had always looked at the sky, was covered in water stains, slowly closed his eyes, shook his head and sighed, "Get out of the army, surround the county and wait and see what changes."

One is prosperous and one is declining, one is rising and the other is declining, and only when there are fires in the county to burn the city will the Taiping Army be in a panic and vulnerable.

If the heavy rain falls today, it will be a help from heaven. The Taiping Army not only survives death, but also has a high momentum, and its desire to survive is more firm and stronger, and its combat power will not decline but increase.

The young Pang Tong looked at the raindrops falling like needles, thinking about it. After Liu Biao gave the order, Pang Tong said to Kuai Yue expressionlessly: "Guo Jia is an enemy outside, and Yuan Shu is an internal trouble."

The lost Kuai Yue was shocked. There was a evil wolf in Jingzhou, Yuan Shu, who had to be careful. In other words, not being able to fight Guo Jia to the end. If both sides were defeated, it would only give Yuan Shu an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In the county town, Guo Jia and the Taiping Army, who were also wet by heavy rain, were excited.

Putting down the sword, Guo Jiawangtian suppressed excitement and said in a deep voice: "God saves me!"

The Taiping Army suddenly burst into a shocking cheer!

Zhang Yan looked uncontrollable and said loudly to Guo Jia: "Master! You are the destiny of heaven. At this time, the heavy rain falls from heaven to save lives is the will of heaven! Lord! The last general is willing to lead his troops to protect his lord to Chengdu to death! He will rule the world in the future!"

Whether God is willing or not, Guo Jia dared not guess, but by chance, the heavy rain at this time did save his life. Zhang Yan's words were not only inspiring for his escape, but also taking this opportunity to make the soldiers loyal to him.

Just like the emperor, what is the emperor? The sky is full and the sky is like a god. The emperor is assigned by the heaven to rule the world. Guo Jia does not have the ability to call the wind and rain. But in times of danger, Tiandu will help him survive in a desperate situation. Isn’t it enough to explain the will of heaven?

Guo Jia can look at this issue from a scientific perspective. It is raining and common, but others will not think so. Especially the soldiers who are loyal to Guo Jia regard it as a sign of heaven!

Restraining his excitement, Guo Jia took back his sword, reached out to help the four generals up, and then signaled that the soldiers would all get up. He immediately ordered:

"Zhang Yan and Zhou Tai, you two quickly restore order to the army in the city, cover the soldiers of the West Gate into the city, and then close the city gates on all sides and hold on without fighting. Xu Chu Dianwei, you two immediately check the food and supplies. When you enter the city, our army has food and grass that can last for half a month. You can count the remaining food and grass for me as soon as possible and report it to me."

The four generals took the order and left in heavy rain to execute military orders.

The 20,000 troops of Zhang Yan's troops outside the West Gate were killed by Liu Biao. In the heavy rain, Zhang Yan led his army to cover and only 5,000 soldiers fled in, losing 15,000 soldiers!

When the fire spread across the county, there were more than 10,000 soldiers who escaped from the other three gates and were surrounded and killed by Liu Biao. Guo Jia went out of Chengdu to lead an army of 65,000, and only 40,000 were left overnight. This is not the case that the injuries and illnesses cannot be fought again!

Back in the residence, in the small room, Guo Jia changed into clean clothes, closed his eyes and knelt in the main seat, and quickly thought about the situation in front of him.

He didn't know how many enemy troops were outside the city. He could only find out the truth after dawn tomorrow. But what he could be sure was that the enemy would definitely not have more than 100,000 people. The reason was very simple. If there were 100,000 troops, then when heavy rain fell, the enemy would definitely attack the city with all its might and would not give him the opportunity to stabilize the situation.

From this we can infer that the enemy troops range from 50,000 to 80,000, and they are unwilling to lose their troops.

Taking heavy steps, Xu Chu and Dian Wei came to Guo Jia. Just as they were about to salute, Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "How long can the remaining food and grass last?"

There was a fire in the city first and then heavy rain, and the loss of food and grass must be unoptimistic. As expected, Xu Chu said in a deep voice: "It can only last for three days."

After pondering, Guo Jia ordered: "Tomorrow morning, we will pretend to be in Ximen, so that the enemy will think that our army will fight against the enemy. Taking advantage of this gap, each of the other three sects will send a team of two thousand people to break through. Even if only one person escapes, they will run towards Badong County. Calculate the day, and Yuanzhi escorts the subsequent food and supplies to Badong County should also be sent to Badong County."

Xu Chu looked suspicious and asked, "Lord, there is no large army in Badong County. Sima only has 10,000 troops, how can he come to support him?"

Guo Jia sighed and said, "I just hope that Yuanzhi is in Badong County. If he is there, he will definitely be suspicious of the army coming to support. If Yuanzhi has not arrived in Badong County, Simaju... As long as someone in our army fled to Badong County, the enemy outside the city will be afraid of the army in Yizhou, and they may take the initiative to come to fight with me. Three days later, if there are no reinforcements, we can only fight to the death."

It was also a desperate situation, but the situation at this time was much better than before. Guo Jia was able to command the army and dispatch troops, which was much more optimistic than the chaos in the county before, and his chances of winning were a little higher. At that time, the breakthrough was a life-threatening death. Now, the outcome was unpredictable in one battle.

The rain gradually dipped in the second half of the night, and it had completely stopped by morning. The sky was bright and the sun was shining.

Walking up the Ximen Tower, Guo Jia looked at the enemy troops stationed a mile away. Judging from their size, there were indeed many soldiers and horses. Zhang Yan, who had explored the enemy situation, came to Guo Jia and said with a fist: "Lord, the enemy troops outside the city besieged the city, with a total of around 60,000 or 70,000 troops. If our army leaves the city and fights, it will definitely defeat the enemy."

There were only about 35,000 soldiers able to fight in the city. Although the enemy was in large numbers, Zhang Yan believed that the Taiping Army would definitely win.

Seeing Zhang Yan's blood-filled eyes and the frost on his face, Guo Jia stroked his shoulder and said gently: "Feiyan, you haven't been sleeping all night, so let's go and rest first. Leave it to Youping here. You must not overwork and fall down."

Zhang Yan knelt on one knee and lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Lord, after the fire broke out in the city last night, the last general missed the military opportunity and led his army into the city to make the lord fall into a desperate situation. The last general is unforgivable, so please deal with the lord's military law."

He reached out and helped him up. Guo Jia raised a faint smile and shook his head and said, "Feiyan is concerned about it. If he didn't care about my safety, how could he act hastily? How could I bear to punish you? Feiyan, this time, just treat it as a lesson. For generals, you should be calm in the face of chaos and calm in the event of trouble. I once told you that in the future, I will definitely compete with the heroes in the world, and war will definitely not be missing. Feiyan is my strong arm to win the battle."

Zhang Yan was in a complicated mood and was inexplicably moved. The self-blame and guilt all night made him suffer, and he even had no face to face Guo Jia. But now, he forced himself to keep the tears from falling, gritted his teeth and choked and said, "My lord values ​​Mo General so much, and Mo General will definitely live up to his kindness in this life."

He asked Zhang Yan to go back and rest first, Guo Jia asked Zhou Tai to mobilize his troops and prepare to leave the city to set up a formation and pretend to fight the enemy troops outside the city.

When Zhou Tai was just receiving the order and was about to go down to order the troops, Guo Jia called him again because Guo Jia saw a man coming from the enemy camp.

After the man arrived at the city, Guo Jia looked down at him and saw that the man looked handsome and majestic. He was wearing a sermon robe and bowed to the top of the city, saying aloud: "Kuai Yue, Jingzhou, please see Guo Jia."

Guo Jia stood on the city tower, immediately indicated his identity and said, "I am Guo Jia, what are you going to do if you come?"

Kuai Yue looked at Guo Jia with his neck up. In addition to being young or young, he could not see anything extraordinary based on his appearance alone. But Kuai Yue did not dare to underestimate this young man and bowed: "I am here to discuss peace with you on behalf of my lord. As long as you lead the army to leave, Chengpiao Astronomy will make a move and let you go."

With a chuckling, Guo Jia nodded and said, "Okay, go back and ask Liu Biao to withdraw his troops for five miles. I will lead the troops out of the city and return to Yizhou in person."

Since it was Kuai Yue, and with the word Liu on the enemy's banner, Guo Jia knew that it must be Liu Biao.

Although Liu Biao had an army of 60,000 to 70,000, Guo Jia did not believe that Liu Biao not only commanded Jingzhou, but also trained the Jingzhou army into a tiger and wolf army in a short time. In terms of combat power, the Taiping Army transformed from bloody battles. Even if the power was small and few soldiers, more than 30,000 soldiers fought to the death, and the worst was that they were both defeated by Liu Biao.

There is no face to talk about at this moment. Kuai Yue's words have a condescending smell. Guo Jia doesn't care. It makes no sense to fight for this breath. Even if he fights Liu Biao to the death and avenges last night, what about it? Jingzhou, Guo Jia can't swallow it, and even if he captures Xiangyang and Jiangxia, he can't do anything. Guo Jia doesn't care whether Liu Biao can continue to defend Jingzhou. But he can't take advantage of Yuan Shu, right?

Liu Biao came to discuss peace talks, and the reason for his concern was the same as Guo Jia. After fighting with Guo Jia here and Yuan Shu came to rob him, Liu Biao would only end up being a wolf in front of him and fearing a tiger after being afraid of a tiger. Why bother?
