Ever since Liu Xian led his troops to the expedition, Liu Du's heart had been uneasy, and his right eyelid had been beating wildly.
Rubbing his eyelids, Liu Du felt extremely uneasy. He couldn't help but secretly thought: "Is it possible that my son has encountered some trouble? God bless me, I can't let Xian'er make any mistakes!"
Just when Liu Du was praying that Liu Xian would be safe, a soldier rushed in in panic.
With a hint of weirdness and a hint of panic on his face, he said: "Prefect, Young Master led Cao outside the city and ordered you to go out and answer questions..."
"What!" Liu Du was so frightened that he trembled. He didn't care about Cao Jun or not, and asked quickly: "Is my son injured?"
"He just looks a little embarrassed, but he doesn't seem to be injured." The messenger answered honestly.
"That's good..." Liu Du clapped his chest and stood up, saying, "Come here, follow me out of the city! By the way, bring the seal and ribbon of the Sheriff's Mansion!"
Liu Du, who is old and frail, no longer has any ambitions. In fact, he has already prepared for the worst.
For his only son, a county town is actually not so irresistible.
Although we may no longer have the happy days before, at least we can keep our son safe, and that will make everything worthwhile.
Xia Houlan originally planned to ask Liu Xian to persuade Liu Du to surrender.
Who would have expected that Liu Du would just leave the city and surrender with his seal and ribbon.
In fact, even if he doesn't surrender, what will happen?
Cao Cao has defeated Liu Qi and secured control of Jingbei. Even if the Cao army in front of him cannot take Jingnan, Cao Cao's other armies will come sooner or later.
In this case, why struggle in vain? Simply surrender and save yourself and your son's lives...
Xia Houlan took Lingling County in an hour and a half.
When Zhao Yun and Zhou Yan's army arrived late, Xia Houlan shouted from the city wall: "Zilong, Yanzi, you are so slow!"
"..."
"What the hell!" Zhou Yan stared at Xia Houlan, who was so proud of himself on the city wall, and shouted, "Why are you so lucky?"
Xia Houlan snorted and said: "What luck, that's ability!
"
"Yes! General Xiahou won Lingling with his true ability!" How could Xing Daorong admit that Xiahoulan won Lingling by luck? Wouldn't that mean that he was too cheap...
After Zhao Yun, Zhou Yan and others entered the city, Xia Houlan introduced Liu Du, Liu Xian and Xing Daorong to Zhao Yun.
After learning about Xing Daorong, Zhao Yun basically recognized him.
Even though Xing Daorong was a bit cunning, he dared to speak for his old master at a critical moment. This loyalty is rare.
To punish Dao Rong for his behavior as a real villain, Zhao Yun agreed to let him join the Dragon Cavalry Army and serve as Xia Houlan's deputy general, leading the Dragon Cavalry Army together with Tieniu.
Zhao Yun also appointed Liu Du to continue to act as the temporary governor of Lingling County. After getting to know Liu Du and Liu Xian and his son, he was not afraid that Liu Du would rebel.
The soldiers were very quick. After taking Lingling County, Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and others were ready to capture Guiyang without stopping.
But when they arrived at Lingling County, a young man dressed as a scholar suddenly waved and shouted: "General, I have something to report!"
Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and Zhou Yan walked to the young scholar's place, reined in their horses and stopped.
Zhao Yun saw that the scholar had grown up to be a talented person and had a graceful demeanor, so he asked, "What do you have to report?"
The scholar first bowed his hands and then said: "I am Jiang Wan, courtesy name Gongyan, from Xiangxiang County, Lingling. Last year, I rescued several northerners who claimed to be 'businessmen'... They told me that if
When the Prime Minister's troops arrive, he can rely on this to protect himself..."
After saying that, the scholar took out a black iron token from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun took the token and saw the word "shadow" written on it!
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan looked at it and were surprised: "Isn't this the identity card of the shadow guard? How come it is in his hand?"
However, they quickly realized, "Those merchants are actually Shadow Guards!"
Shadow Guard received help from Jiang Wan when he was being hunted. In return, Shadow Guard gave him an identity card to help him avoid possible military disasters.
Zhou Yan didn't know what had happened, so she asked curiously: "Seeing that you two are so surprised, what on earth is that?"
Zhao Yun was awakened by Zhou Yan's question. He turned over the other side of the identity card and suddenly saw another name that made him temporarily confused, "Zhou Hong?!"
"Zhou Hong!
!" Xia Houlan stretched his head and saw the name on the token, and immediately shouted in surprise.
"Zhou Hong..." Zhou Yan suddenly heard the name and fell into a daze for a moment.
After muttering several times, she finally regained her composure, then raised her spear and pointed it at Jiang Wan and shouted: "Tell me! Where is Zhou Hong!"
"
Jiang Wan was startled by Zhou Yan's sudden movement. Although the distance between the gun tip and the gun tip was still more than two meters away, the faint smell of blood from the gun tip still made the hair on his back stand on end.
Although this woman looks like a stop sign and has a very hot figure, judging from the murderous aura coming from her body and the smell of blood coming from the gun tip, she really kills people a lot...
Zhao Yun reached out and pressed Zhou Yan's spear, and then said to Jiang Wan: "I'm sorry, Zhou Hong is her biological brother... She has been looking for Zhou Hong for more than ten years, and now she suddenly heard the news about him, and it was inevitable that she would be a little embarrassed.
.”
"Such a coincidence?" Jiang Wan couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing this, and then couldn't help but sigh that the arrangement of fate was so wonderful.
Jiang Wan continued: "When they came near my yard, they seemed to be being chased by a group of officers and soldiers. I saw that they did not look like thieves, so I let them hide in my backyard for three days."
"Then where did they go?" Zhao Yun asked.
"Didn't say..."
Zhou Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath to suppress the bursting emotions in his heart.
Considering the mysterious whereabouts of the Shadow Guards, if they don't tell them, I'm afraid no one will know where they went. Damn it, the clues are broken again...
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and then said to Jiang Wan: "To be honest with you, those 'businessmen' are actually our people... Since they trust you and gave you an identity card, you can use this card to go to Jingzhou for an interview.
When you become a hussar general, he will definitely reward you accordingly."
Jiang Wan was obviously surprised when he heard the title "General Hussar", "General Hussar? But General Lu Yanlu Changsheng?"
Xia Houlan nodded and answered naturally: "Of course it's Lu Qiaoqi."
"I didn't expect that my original idea would actually allow me to meet Lu Qiaoqi...!" Jiang Wan was still muttering to himself in disbelief. At this time, Xia Houlan suddenly said: "Do you feel like fate?
The arrangement is so wonderful?"
"Yes...I am really flattered to be able to see Lu Qiaoqi!"
Looking at Jiang Wan like this, it is obvious that he has admired Lu Yan for a long time.
Zhao Yun and others did not expect to meet Mr.'s fanboy here, and they couldn't help but feel honored.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but kindly remind Jiang Wan: "Sir is in Xiangyang City now, but if you want to see him, you may have to leave as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Jiang Wan bowed deeply to Zhao Yun and others, and said gratefully: "Thank you, General, for reminding me! The students will go back and pack their bags now, and they will be able to head north to Xiangyang in a quarter of an hour at most!"
"Go for it!"
"yes..."
But just when Jiang Wan was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly slapped his forehead and turned around and asked, "I'm sorry, the student forgot to ask for the general's surname!"
But when Jiang Wan turned around, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan had already reined in their horses and headed out of the city.
Just when Jiang Wan was annoyed that he was rude, he did not expect the voices of Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan to be heard from the front.
Siluke
"Former general, Zhao Yun!"
"General Zhenwei, Xiahoulan!"
"Captain Yueqi, Zhou Yan!"
The wind is swirling gently on the ground...
Zhao Yun and others have already left,
Jiang Wan, however, still stood there quietly with his mouth open like a stone, looking around.
