It is early autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the breeze is blowing.

Zheng Yu took Zuo Lan, escorted by Zheng Da's 500 soldiers and Yan Rou's 1,000 cavalry, and followed Qiu Liju's team out of the east gate. Su Wan, Guo Ya, Liu Qian, and the Zou sisters,

Zhao Yun and others were sent ten miles outside the city.

It was a bit sad to say goodbye, and the women were very worried and reluctant to leave.

"Ms. sir, you must be more careful, those Wuhuan people are not easy to deal with." Guo Ya adjusted Zheng Yu's clothes and whispered. Liu Qian held his arm and said softly: "Ms. sir, go early and come back early.

Don't always act alone." Su Wan, Zou Yuan and Zou Fang also gathered around him and talked for a long time.

Finally freed from their siege, Zheng Yu walked up to Zhao Yun and said seriously: "Zilong, Jicheng will be left to you. When Brother Ziyi and the others return to Jicheng, you must be tight on the inside and loose on the outside.

Gongsun Zan's troops must be monitored and paid high attention to, I'm really worried that this guy will take advantage of the situation and make an attack."

Then, he called Sun Qi to his side and whispered a few words before saying goodbye to everyone and leaving Jicheng.

Along the way, the leaves were falling and the grass was drying up. Qiu Liju rode beside Zheng Yu, telling stories about the scenery and people in the North from time to time. His expression was respectful and somewhat flattering. Zheng Yu also looked happy. The two of them talked enthusiastically.

After traveling for more than half a day, several horses came galloping from behind.

The leader was Zeng Pei, named Fanyong, who also broke out from Qingzhou and is now the captain of Sun Qi's team. "Lord, wait!" Zeng Pei came to Zheng Yu, immediately dismounted and knelt on the roadside, "

My lord, there is news from Lord Taishi Ci!"

Zheng Yu dismounted and murmured with him for a while, then turned around and faced Qiu Liju, who was standing beside the horse and staring at Zheng Yu, and said, "Master Qiu, my brother will lead ten thousand people back to Jicheng in five or six days. Then I can lead him back to Jicheng."

Five thousand cavalry are here to help you retake Karasuma Mountain."

When he said this, Zheng Yu's face was filled with excitement and a smile. In fact, he was laughing secretly in his heart. This was all planned by him. First, he left the city with Qiu Liju at the same time, so that Gongsun Xu's people thought they were heading to Liucheng together; second,

Then separate from Qiu Liju here, hide and wait, and then you can completely get rid of the relationship.

When Qiu Liju heard the news, he was overjoyed: "That's great, that's great!"

Zheng Yu waited for Qiu Liju's excitement to subside before he said: "In this case, I will wait for my brother here. You can go back first and prepare for the expedition. This is a big event. If you mobilize your whole body, you must

Keep it confidential."

Qiu Liju nodded in agreement.

Seeing Qiu Liju's excited expression, Zheng Yu felt a little unbearable. Although he had not yet obtained the exact information whether Gongsun Xu was setting an ambush on their way forward, he thought that with Gongsun Xu's unyielding character, he would definitely be inseparable.

Right. Humph, Gongsun Xu had wanted to kill Zheng Yu for a long time, but he was just too weak and unlucky.

"Lord Qiu Liju, you need to pay attention to safety on this journey." Zheng Yu still gave him some advice when they were saying goodbye.

Although Qiu Liju said so, Zheng Yu felt that he did not listen carefully, so he had no choice but to shake his head. But in his heart, he was thinking that this Qiu Liju died this year. There is no record of how he died in the history books. How could the world know this?

Unexpectedly, he died at the hands of Gongsun Xu, and all this was arranged and calculated by Zheng Yu, and Gongsun Xu was just used.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yu couldn't help but smile.

After the two said goodbye, Qiu Liju led a thousand guards to the north, leaving Lulongsai, passing Pinggang, and arrived at Bailangdui four days later. Bailangdui is the only way to enter Liucheng from the north, with two large mountains.

There is a canyon in the middle, and a carriage road runs along the east-west direction. At both ends of the canyon are thrilling ancient roads, with a wall at both ends, making it a natural ambush site.

Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Du personally led their troops to set up an ambush here one day in advance.

More than a thousand people from Qiu Liju entered the canyon. They did not strengthen their defenses, but sent reconnaissance cavalry to search nearby. The ambush was fought fiercely, and Qiu Liju's troops were extremely brave and defended Qiu Liju desperately. In the end, only the remaining

Less than a hundred people escorted Qiu Liju to escape from the valley even though he was injured, and returned to Liucheng.

Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Kang, who were watching the battle from the top of the mountain, couldn't help but lament loudly when they heard that only Qiu Li lived in the valley and Zheng Yu did not accompany him. After the battle, although it was a sneak attack, it still cost thousands of casualties.

, Qiu Liju was not retained in the end, and he couldn't help but look depressed.

"Are we still going to ambush Zheng Yu?"

Gongsun Kang had no choice but to ask. He was very dissatisfied with the battle, but Gongsun Xu had spent a lot of money and agreed to other conditions on behalf of Gongsun Zan. Therefore, Gongsun Kang still asked his father to mobilize troops to assist Gongsun Xu in this killing operation.

.

For Gongsun Du, if he can annihilate Zheng Yu, there will be no other strong opponent in Youzhou. If he builds a good relationship with Gongsun Zan in the future, then his announcement of separatist rule in Liaodong will become a fact, and Liu Yu will not be able to deal with him at that time.

Therefore, he graciously agreed and sent 4,000 infantry and cavalry troops to participate in this operation.

When Gongsun Kang asked, Gongsun Xu quickly replied: "Of course, I will definitely take Zheng Yu's head back. Huh, anyone who dares to oppose my Gongsun family must be destroyed!" When he said this, his face was full of sinisterness.

.

In the end, Gongsun Kang only returned to Liaodong with 500 cavalry, and the rest of his troops were left to Gongsun Xu.

In this way, Gongsun Xu still had more than 3,400 cavalry to ambush Zheng Yu, and he still had a clear advantage in strength. At this time, Gongsun Xu was full of confidence, since even Qiu Liju was wounded by him, and almost the entire army

If they were destroyed, it is estimated that Zheng Yu's thousand cavalry would not be able to get away with it.

For Gongsun Xu, even if all his troops are wiped out, as long as Zheng Yu's head is chopped off, everything will be worth it.

After cleaning the battlefield, Gongsun Xu stayed in this area and waited, preparing to ambush Zheng Yu.

But he said that after Zheng Yu broke up with Qiu Liju, he found a nearby town to live.

The town was quaint and quiet. Zheng Yu and Zuo Lan lived in a small independent courtyard with only three rooms. Zuo Lan served Zheng Yu alone, so she seemed gentle and considerate, and became a lot more courageous. At night, the two of them discussed the pair of repairs.

Although he has not really mastered the matter, Zheng Yu has already mastered 7788 theoretical knowledge.

In the yard, the evening breeze blew. Soon, it became dark, and the two of them sat at the stone table and chatted.

"My husband, Lan'er thought about it for a while, but he still can't do that. My husband still needs medicine to recuperate for a while, and Lan'er also needs to adjust to the best condition." Zuo Lan said, handing over her delicate little hand to

Zheng Yu let him hold it in his palm.

"My husband listens to my wife on this matter," Zheng Yu said softly.

Since the two were alone together, Zuo Lan also completely revealed her heart to him. This is an era where men are superior to women. Romance in later generations is not suitable. Even a smart person like Su Wan has to rely on Zheng Yu to be able to flourish.

And Zuo Lan was a cultivator, so she could not help but cling to him, like a bird clinging to a person.

Men are heaven, and only in the late Han Dynasty could we realize this so profoundly.

In their eyes, what they care about is not how much a man loves her, but that he must be able to provide them with safety and protection. Now Zheng Yu not only has outstanding conditions, but also has enough power, just like the Timber Wolf King.

Naturally, he is loved by them even more.

This can be deeply felt from the way the women look at him, and Zuo Lan is no exception.

"Perhaps we can ask Wu Su for help. I heard that she is about the same age as Lan'er, has high martial arts skills, and she practices secret techniques. If we practice together with my husband, the chance of success will be greatly increased." Zuo Lan said and sighed.

.

"Don't talk nonsense. Lan'er knows best what dual cultivation means to a woman. Besides, she is the Saint of Wuhuan. How can she be a Saint without a holy body?"

"How can you know that she refuses if you don't give it a try? Besides, she is the most beautiful woman in Wuhuan. She is extremely holy and will not insult my husband. For our family, having an heir as soon as possible is the most important thing. This matter

Don't worry about it, Mr. Lan'er will take care of it. If it works out, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. At most, we can just have children later."
