Xu Shu finally stabilized the rear and cleared away all the hidden dangers. Huang Zhong and Han Xuan naturally contributed a lot to it. In the past two days, Xu Shu had recovered them for Liu Qi. Now Changsha is truly
In a sense, it is Liu Qi's rear area.
The 20,000-strong army outside Linxiang City has been assembled and ready to go at any time. These are Xu Shu's troops to reinforce You County. From Chen Qi's words, he already knew that Liu Qi was in a very dangerous situation. At this time, all he could do was to fight in You County
Attract Jiangdong's attention and cover Liu Qi's smooth departure from Jiangdong.
Although Jiang Dong's large-scale attack on You County was beyond his expectation, it was not easy for Jiang Dong to seize You County from him.
Outside the city, Han Xuan came with Yang Ling to see Xu Shu off, and Huang Zhong followed Xu Shu on the expedition. Xu Shu said to Han Xuan: "This expedition has a very important stake, so I will entrust Changsha to Master Han."
Xu Shu's tone was gentle and his expression was calm. Huang Zhong was terrified. He knew that although this military advisor was gentle in appearance, he showed no mercy in his actions. In the past two days, all the aristocratic families, officials and generals who had some contact with Zhang Xian had not taken the initiative.
He deposed all those who asked for punishment, ransacked their homes, and exterminated their families. Almost no family was spared.
For a time, Linxiang City was in turmoil, and every official and aristocratic family secretly prayed that they would not be involved. Fortunately, Xu Shu only punished those families related to Zhang Xian, and people breathed a sigh of relief. But even so, Linxiang City was filled with chaos.
It was bloody. The person who executed it was Zhou Cang who was following Xu Shu. The rust on Zhou Cang's knife was also dyed dark red.
Han Xuan had been admiring Xu Shu's actions in the past two days. When he saw Xu Shu, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, military advisor, there will be no loss in Changsha."
Xu Shu nodded and turned around to mount his horse. Behind him, Zhou Cang, Zhao Lei, Lu Jie, and Huang Zhong followed.
The army slowly started moving towards You County.

Liu Qi and others in the mountains finally built bamboo rafts and prepared to leave.
By the stream, Liu Qi said to Mr. Xu and Hua Tuo: "Mr. Xu, please take your leave." Mr. Xu and Hua Tuo nodded in return.
Liu Qi turned around and got on the bamboo raft to leave when he saw the young man who had been clamoring to leave ran over with a bag on his back, shouting as he ran: "Wait for me, wait for me."
Liu Qi looked at the young man a little surprised. Although the young man was clamoring to leave, he always thought it was just a joke and never expected that the young man really wanted to leave with him.
The young man ran to the shore and said to Liu Qi: "Take me with you."
Liu Qi glanced at Mr. Xu and saw that Mr. Xu did not stop him. He obviously agreed with the young man's approach. However, Liu Qi and others were indeed not suitable to take care of a child now. He glanced at Hua Tuo and Liu Qi said to the young man: "Follow Hua Tuo."
Even the miracle doctor can leave."
The young man shook his head and said: "How can a miracle doctor play with me when he knows how to save people all day long?"
Liu Qi smiled and said: "It won't happen in the future. The miracle doctor will come to me when he goes out this time. You can find me with him. It's not convenient for us to bring people now." After saying that, he pointed to the Jinfan thief standing next to Hua Tuo.
Members, this was left by Liu Qi specifically to lead the way for Hua Tuo.
The young man looked at Hua Tuo and agreed when he saw Hua Tuo nodding.
Liu Qi bowed his hands to Mr. Xu and Hua Tuo on the shore, and then ordered to leave. In an instant, dozens of rows of bamboo rafts went down the river and left the small mountain village.
The bamboo raft followed the stream in the mountains. The stream meandered along the way, and from time to time, smaller water flowed into the stream and turned into a river. An hour later, the bamboo raft stopped next to a village. Liu Qi looked back.
The mountains behind him let out a sigh of relief. I am afraid no one would have thought that there would be a village in this mountain.
When the group arrived at the village, the village chief came up to ask. Liu Qi inquired and found out that this was Yifeng County. However, there was no map in the village and Liu Qi was not sure how to get back. The group had to rush towards Yifeng County.
Then the group abandoned the bamboo raft and mounted their war horses again, heading towards the county seat. The county seat was not far from here, and in just half an hour, more than a thousand people from Liu Qi had arrived at Yifeng County.
When the Yifeng County garrison saw nearly a thousand cavalry rushing towards him, he hurriedly closed the city gate and shouted to Liu Qi and others below the city: "Who are you?"
Gan Ning shouted to the guard on the city: "Our young master wants to see your county captain, go and report it quickly."
The guard continued to ask: "Who are you, and why do you want to see us?"
Gan Ning shouted: "You, a small city gate guard, dare to question my young master, why don't you go and report it immediately?"
The guard was angry when he heard what Gan Ning said, but he knew that the identity of the people under the city was not simple, so he went to report it. Not long after, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing armor came to the top of the tower and asked questions below.
He said: "I am the county captain of this county. Who are you to dare to break into the county seat privately?"
Gan Ning shouted to the county captain: "Our young master is the deputy general of General Han Dang. Why don't you open the door to greet him?"
The county lieutenant was surprised and asked: "Do you have any proof?"
Liu Qi took out a bamboo slip from his body and handed it to Gan Ning, and placed it in the bamboo basket put down by the county lieutenant. Liu Qi found this from the deputy general. The county lieutenant lifted the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully before confirming Liu Qi's identity.
Open the city gate to welcome Liu Qi.
In the county mansion, Liu Qi was sitting on the main seat, and the county captain stood respectfully below, waiting for Liu Qi's order.
Liu Qi glanced at the county captain and said: "I have military affairs and I have to go back to Wu County, but the march map was lost halfway. Do you have a map here?"
Although the county captain felt strange, he still said respectfully: "General Qi Zhen has maps in his county mansion, but these maps are ordinary maps and do not contain accurate marching maps."
Liu Qi frowned and glanced at the county lieutenant. The county lieutenant immediately broke out in cold sweat. Liu Qi's glance seemed to pierce through him. He put aside any doubts about Liu Qi's identity and hurriedly said: "In the past, the county commander had a military look.
The map was stolen by bandits, so the county now uses ordinary maps."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Haha, it is really strange that it was stolen by bandits. Did you, the county lieutenant, just watch the map being stolen?"
The county lieutenant hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "This is what happened to the former county lieutenant and has nothing to do with the subordinate officer."
Liu Qi put his hand on the table and tapped it lightly: "Oh, as a county lieutenant, you never thought of taking it back? Is this also the fault of the previous county lieutenant?"
The county lieutenant said with a tearful face: "These bandits are extremely powerful. Although I have encircled and suppressed them three times, I failed to eliminate them and were defeated by them."
Now Liu Qi became interested and asked: "Can you tell me about the bandit?"
The county captain was overjoyed to know that Liu Qi was afraid that he would personally send troops to exterminate the bandits, so he hurriedly said: "The leader of this bandit is called Xu Sheng. Not only is this man highly skilled in martial arts, but the bandits under his command are not weaker than the ordinary army. He is also entrenched in the mountains.
The following officials have not been able to eradicate them for a long time."
Xu Sheng and Liu Qi were a little surprised. This Xu Sheng was one of the Twelve Tiger Ministers of Jiangdong. History only said that he ran to Jiangdong due to the war. Later, he defected to Sun Quan because of Sun Quan's recruitment of talents. After that, he was rated as one of the Ten Tigers of Jiangdong for his outstanding military achievements.
One of the Twelve Tiger Ministers. Gan Ning, Liu Qi's subordinate, and Han Dang, Liu Qi's current nominal boss, are also one of the Twelve Tiger Ministers. Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng became a bandit here. Thinking of this, Liu Qi's eyes flashed, and he felt that he should
Recover this person.
When the county captain saw that Liu Qi was silent, he thought that Liu Qi did not want to go and annihilate Xu Sheng, so he hurriedly said: "General, this Xu Sheng is causing trouble to the village. He often robs homes and disturbs the peace of Yifeng County. Why do you ask the general to annihilate him?"
Liu Qi saw the county captain's thoughts and asked without revealing anything: "How many people do Xu Sheng have under his command? How many soldiers and horses are there in the county government?"
How could the county lieutenant still not understand what Liu Qi meant and said hurriedly: "Then Xu Sheng has only more than 500 men. There are now more than 900 soldiers in the county government, all of whom are at the disposal of the general."
Liu Qi said: "You can order all the soldiers and horses in the county to assemble and stand by."
"Ah, is the general going to kill Xu Sheng now?" the county captain said in surprise.
"Huh? Do you have any objection?" Liu Qi looked at the county captain and said.
"No, no." The county lieutenant waved his hand hurriedly.
"Then why don't you get ready?" Liu Qi shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes." The county lieutenant hurriedly went to gather troops.
