"My lord, this Zhao Yun is so brave. Apart from General Zhang and General Yan, it is difficult for anyone in Yizhou to match him. Such talents are really rare. Why don't you reward him with a thousand gold coins and a BMW to win him over?" The middle-aged man smiled.
smiled.
"Huh?" Liu Zhang frowned and looked at the middle-aged man. Seeing that the middle-aged man didn't have any intention of joking, he asked doubtfully: "What do you mean by this, sir?"
"Haha, now that General Zhang and General Yan are not here, it is difficult for the generals in the city to compete with them. Even if a large army surrounds these two thousand soldiers and horses, it may not be possible. In this case, why not use this to show that the Lord is seeking talents?
If you are thirsty, you can not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also force Zhao Yun away." The middle-aged man said.
"So that's it." Liu Zhang suddenly felt for a moment, and then he felt that something was wrong. If this matter was said in private, it would be much better for him to give a direct order at this time than to discuss it here.
"In that case, let's follow your advice." Liu Zhang nodded.
Not long after, the city gate opened, and a group of soldiers and horses dressed in red and purple rushed out of the city gate and came to Zhao Yun.
"My lord has an order. I heard that Zhao Zilong is brave and unparalleled, so I will give you a thousand pieces of gold and ten BMWs."
Zhao Yun, who was originally preparing to take action, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then became furious. Liu Zhang actually regarded himself as a seller seeking glory, which was extremely abominable.
The spear in his hand moved slightly, and a shadow of the spear flashed by. The gold worth a thousand pieces of gold carried by four soldiers suddenly fell to the ground. The gold was scattered with golden light, looking extremely attractive.
"Little Liu Zhang, how can I, Zhao Yun, be bribed with this thousand pieces of gold? Get out of here." The following words were spoken to dozens of soldiers who were leaving the city.
After being scolded by this, dozens of soldiers were so frightened that their legs trembled and they ran into the city in panic, leaving only gold everywhere.
Zhao Yun looked at the scattered gold and couldn't help but smile and said: "Since you have given away this gold, I will accept it."
As he spoke, Zhao Yun turned to the two thousand soldiers behind him and said, "Come here, give this thousand pieces of gold to your brothers."
"Thank you, General." The two thousand Feilong Guards all said with happy faces.
A thousand pieces of gold were distributed to everyone, and each person received half a catty. Half a catty of gold was enough for the family's wife and children to live for a long time.
"Humph, they are all cowards." After Liu Zhang made such a fuss, Zhao Yun knew that there was no point in staying here any longer, so he led the two thousand Feilong Guards away.
In Mianzhu City, above the main hall, everyone has woken up from the shock brought by Zhao Yun. Everyone's eyes are looking at the middle-aged man behind Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang has changed so much these days.
The cowardice in the past was always out of place. Everyone had long guessed that Liu Zhang might have someone guiding him behind him, but now it seems that he is indeed as expected.
"My Zheng Du has met all of you." The middle-aged man who called himself Zheng Du saw that Liu Zhang had no intention of speaking, so he could only say with a wry smile.
"Zheng Du?"
Everyone in the main hall looked blank. This was the first time they had heard of Zheng Du's name. Everyone thought that this person could bring about such a big change in Liu Zhang. He must be a famous person in Yizhou, but this Zheng Du
This is the first time everyone has heard of the name Du.
"But Zheng Du from Guanghan County?" When everyone was at a loss, Huang Quan said in surprise.
"That's right, General Huang is laughing." Zheng Du was slightly surprised to see someone recognizing him.
"When I first arrived in Mianzhu, I ordered people to search for the virtuous people in Guanghan County, and these people were headed by Mr. General. I couldn't find them. I didn't expect that Mr. Wang would be beside me." Huang Quan said with a bitter smile.
, although this Zheng Du is not too famous in Yizhou, he is famous in Guanghan County. He has heard of this person's name as soon as he arrived here.
"It's just a thin name, let the general make a joke." Zheng Du shook his head and said.
"Okay, I already know your talent, so I will temporarily take up a position in the middle of the army. Zhao Yun is so rampant that he does not take Yizhou into his eyes at all. I want to send a large army to pursue this person. What do you think?"
Liu Zhang waved his hands and said impatiently, although he knew that Zheng Du was talented, he did not leave all the affairs of Yizhou to this person.
"My lord, no." As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, Zheng Du stood up and said, "My lord, the two thousand soldiers and horses led by Zhao Yun are the famous Feilong Guards in Jingzhou. Their strength is amazing, and they are all cavalry. Even if they are sent
It would be useless if the army went to pursue him. Moreover, Zhao Yun not only relied on his martial arts to rise to prominence in Jingzhou, but also his general strategy. If we pursue him hastily, we may fall into Zhao Yun's treacherous plan."
"What Mr. Zheng said is reasonable. Now Mianyang City has been controlled by the Jingzhou army. With Zhao Yun's martial arts, General Gao is probably in danger. Since Jingzhou has sent a large army to support Mianyang, Jiangyou will definitely also send reinforcements. Although General Yang
He is brave, but after all, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. In the opinion of the last general, a large army should be sent to support General Yang at this time." Pang Xi stood up and said.
"Nonsense! Yang Huai led his 20,000 troops to capture Jiangyou in an hour. How can 20,000 men not even defend one Jiangyou?"
Liu Zhang's face was a little gloomy. These people seemed to be frightened by Zhao Yun's courage. Zheng Du had already said before that Jingzhou's power in Yizhou was extremely scattered. None of the generals were in Zitong County. Zhao Yun just happened to be there.
We have just arrived at Zitong County. Is it possible that Jiangyou can produce another Zhao Yun?
Moreover, according to what Zheng Du said, the plot is about to be revealed. When Jingzhou cannot react in time, the army will surely be able to completely defeat Jingzhou.
"My lord, since Zhao Yun has defended Mianyang, he will be at odds with Zitong. My lord can send an army to Mianyang to contain Zhao Yun, so that General Lei can conquer Zitong and capture Liu Qi." Zheng Du said, cupping his hands.
"Well, in that case, Huang Quan, you immediately lead 30,000 troops to Mianyang. You must make sure that Zhao Yun cannot leave Mianyang." Liu Zhang ordered.

"Zheng Du?" Outside Jiangyou City, Liu Qi was shocked when he received the news from the scouts.
Liu Qi knew about Zheng Du and how powerful this person was. When Liu Bei led his army to attack Yizhou, he won consecutive battles all the way. Zheng Du was the only counselor who offered advice to Liu Zhang. According to Zheng Du's plan, all the people of Yizhou were wiped out.
They all moved to the west of Peishui, and then burned all the warehouses, wild valleys in each county, and built fortresses to resist Liu Bei. Liu Bei had no food and grass, and insufficient soldiers and horses. He could not defeat Peishui in a short time, and the outcome was still uncertain.
.
It was only Liu Zhang who was cowardly and incompetent and unwilling to carry out such a dangerous plan that allowed Liu Bei to capture Yizhou so easily and use it as the land of Bashu.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Du surrendered to Liu Zhang so early and won Liu Zhang's trust, so he mobilized an army of 200,000 to resist Jingzhou.
In fact, Zheng Du was only well-known in one county at this time. Not long ago, Li Yan from Jingzhou came to Yizhou, and he just passed by Guanghan County. He heard about Zheng Du and went to pay a visit, so Zheng Du, who was indifferent to fame and fortune, was given the opportunity to help.
Liu Zhang's thoughts.
"It's really troublesome for Zheng Du to take up the post of state director as soon as he comes up." Liu Qi frowned and shook his head secretly.
"My lord, in addition to Zheng Du, Liu Zhang has already sent a large army to attack Zitong." The young scout bowed.
"Who is the leader?" Liu Qi asked casually. Zitong was guarded by Zhuge Liang, and even if he sent a hundred thousand troops, he might not be able to capture it. Liu Qi had never worried about this.
"The leader is Liu Zhang's general Lei Tong, and there is another person named Li Yan."
"Li Yan? How did he get to Yizhou?" Liu Qi murmured. Li Yan had a quarrel with him, but he didn't think this person could be forgotten.
"Lord, when will we attack the city?" After the scouts left, several young generals walked in with anxious faces.
"Yes, the army has been stationed here for two days. If we don't attack the city, the Yizhou soldiers and horses in the city will attack."
After Liu Qi led the army to Jiangyou, he did not order an attack on the city. Instead, he blocked the roads on all sides of Jiangyou, neither attacking the city nor retreating. Zhao Yun repulsed the Yizhou soldiers and the news of Gao Pei's death had spread to the army.
, everyone can’t help but feel a little anxious.
"No rush! When will General Huang arrive?" Liu Qi shook his head and said.
"If there are no mistakes, General Huang will be able to arrive here at noon tomorrow." A young general bowed.
"I understand, please step back!" Liu Qi nodded and ignored everyone.
"This..." Several young generals sighed helplessly and walked out dejectedly.

"General, these Jingzhou soldiers and horses have been here for two days and they don't even have the slightest intention of attacking. I think there must be something fishy about this." Jiangyou County Prime Minister glanced at Yang Huaidao cautiously.
"But who is leading the Jingzhou soldiers and horses from the Investigation Department?" Yang Huaiduan sat on the main seat and asked without raising his head.
"Looking at the flag, it is clear that there is a general named Liu, but as far as I know, Liu Qi has two younger brothers, one civil and one military. The literary one is named Liu Xiu, and the military one is named Liu Pan. There is no doubt that he is Liu Pan." The county seat.
He thought for a while and said.
"It's just an unknown boy, what's the point?" Yang Huai chuckled and ignored the county magistrate, lowering his eyes and saying nothing.
In the past, the county magistrate would leave quietly at this time to avoid Yang Huai being angry, but at this time he was indeed hesitant, with doubts in his eyes as if he could not make up his mind about something.
"Hmm? What else do you want?"
Yang Huai raised his head and glanced at the county magistrate. When Yang Huai's gaze was swept away, the county magistrate's heart trembled and he hurriedly said: "General, I know why this Jingzhou army besieged the city alone but did not attack the city."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Yang Huai glanced at the county magistrate with a smile but not a smile. This county magistrate really surprised him. In order to keep the county magistrate's position these days, he has used all his methods. Unexpectedly, at this time
He was actually able to detect the situation outside the city.
"I wonder if the general has heard of Huang Zhong's name?" the county magistrate bowed.
"Of course I've heard of it." Yang Huai's eyes were a little gloomy. Huang Zhong is now well-known in the Jingxiang area. He had naturally heard of it. He also heard Yang Ren say that this man could hit almost every shot with a boxwood bow.
He himself didn't have the confidence to take over as a soldier.
"The Jingzhou army outside the city is waiting for Huang Zhong. My subordinates learned that Huang Zhong, leading 20,000 troops from Yinping County, will be able to arrive here at noon tomorrow!"
The county magistrate whispered.
