Chapter 150: Outside Guang Sect City, Zhang Jiao's final summoning of heavenly thunder (1 update
Su Xuan then looked at Zhou Cang and asked: "This meeting shouldn't be your Holy Maiden's idea, but Zhang Jiao's request, right?"
"It seems Zhang Jiao is really about to die!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Cang suddenly raised his head to look at Su Xuan, his eyes full of shock.
How did this person know?
Sure enough, how could someone valued by the Great Virtuous Teacher be simple?
He could only bite the bullet and say: "Regarding this question, please forgive me for being unable to give any answer."
"No need! I have already obtained the answer I wanted from your every word and action!"
Su Xuan waved his hand with a smile and said: "You may go!"
"Understood!"
Zhou Cang nodded blankly, and then, at Su Xuan's gesture, followed Jia San out of the commander's tent.
Leaving Su Xuan alone in the tent, stroking his chin and pondering: "He really is about to die!"
"Although it is unlikely to be a trap, I should still be careful. Let Huang Zhong and Dian Wei coordinate and set something up!"
Thinking this, Su Xuan immediately summoned Huang Zhong and Dian Wei.
He told them to select 500 Black Armored Army soldiers to go out with him later.
The whole process was kept from Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
Precautions were still very necessary.
Although it was basically impossible for Liu Bei to ruin things.
One hour later,
By a river ten miles east of Guang Sect City.
Huang Zhong and the others had already cleared away all threats in the vicinity.
At this time, Zhang Ning, wearing a black robe and a hood, arrived here with Zhou Cang.
After seeing Su Xuan, Zhang Ning took off her hood, revealing her beautiful face, which caused a flash of amazement to cross Su Xuan's eyes.
Zhang Ning's features were all outstanding.
But what attracted Su Xuan the most was her ethereal temperament.
It was also Zhang Ning's first time having close contact with Su Xuan, and she was similarly attracted by Su Xuan's heroic appearance and temperament.
"Commoner Zhang Ning pays respects to the General!"
Zhang Ning bowed slightly to Su Xuan and said: "Thank you, General, for being willing to trust me and come to see me."
"This is the letter from my father to the General. After the General reads it, you will understand everything. Afterward, you can give me your answer."
As she spoke, Zhang Ning had Zhou Cang present a secret letter to Su Xuan.
Jia San took the letter and handed it to Su Xuan.
Su Xuan opened it, scanned it rapidly, and then raised his eyebrows in surprise: "I didn't expect the Great Virtuous Teacher to think so highly of my future and be willing to place such a big bet on me. I am truly surprised."
"However, I am more curious: is the Art of Qi Observation really that magical?"
In the letter, Zhang Jiao explained the incident regarding his forcible severing of the Han's Fortune Golden Dragon;
He also spoke of the fact that he had long been cursed by the Fortune Golden Dragon.
Coupled with the backlash he suffered again this time from calculating Su Xuan, his life was not long... and so on.
He did not hide anything and told Su Xuan everything in the letter.
This included a corner of the future destiny he had vaguely glimpsed through his calculations.
Zhang Ning was slightly stunned upon hearing this and said: "Regarding this, after the General gives an appropriate answer, I will naturally teach it to the General;"
"At that time, the General can verify it yourself."
No matter what outsiders say, someone like Su Xuan probably wouldn't believe it completely.
"So, what is the General's answer?"
Facing Zhang Ning's questioning, Su Xuan did not hesitate. While throwing the letter in his hand into the nearby fire to burn, he immediately replied with a smile: "The Great Virtuous Teacher is so sincere, and this matter has only benefits and few drawbacks for me, so naturally I have no reason to refuse;"
"Therefore, I agree!"
"Tomorrow, I will continue to attack the city as agreed. After breaking the city, I will have a final battle with the Great Virtuous Teacher;"
"And Miss Zhang Ning, you need to lead the 10,000 Huang Jinlishi to withdraw from the East Gate;"
"I will arrange for Jia Wu, Xu Chu, and others to meet you outside the city;"
"At that time, you will follow their arrangements, disguise yourselves as a merchant caravan, divide into several teams, and leave Jizhou quickly in batches, heading for Mount Tongbai in Nanyang or one of my military bases."
After defeating Zhang Jiao, the countdown to the complete suppression of the Huang Jin army would have begun.
Su Xuan would certainly not be foolish enough to openly take these 10,000 Huang Jinlishi under his command at this time.
Otherwise, once the war was settled, these troops, except for his own core forces, would have to be handed over to the imperial court.
He didn't want to give He Jin or even the Son of Heaven this opportunity.
Admittedly, during wartime, the Son of Heaven had granted him the command of 20,000 troops, but who knew if it would be taken back after the war?
Therefore, hiding one's strength was very necessary.
After all, he didn't intend to be a pure general after the war, really acting as the Son of Heaven's blade to deal with He Jin and the noble clans led by the Yuan family.
Being a Commandery Governor was his next pursuit and goal.
Over the next few years, although there would be constant unrest in various parts of the Han, as long as Liu Hong did not die, it would generally enter a period of peace.
