Chapter 506 Peach and plum
Thousands of iron cavalry rushed to the bottom of the city like mountains and seas, and suddenly separated to the two sides, forming a semicircle, surrounding Zhou Feng and others at the gate of the city.

"Woo!" Liu Liang's flying horse rushed in front of Zhou Feng, reined in his hand and stopped abruptly, his mount neighed, and he stood up, his two slender and strong front hooves kept flying in front of Zhou Feng.

Zhou Fengqiang kept himself calm and remained motionless.

Seeing this, Liu Liang didn't continue to embarrass him. He calmed down his mount, pointed at it with the whip in his hand, and asked, "Who is under your feet?"

Zhou Feng replied respectfully: "The villain Zhou Feng was ordered by General Annan to lurk in Yichun to wait for changes. Sun Nan, the magistrate of Yichun County, is an old minister of Wu County. He was loyal to Sun Quan. The villain led the righteous men in the city and beheaded them." After saying that, he took Sun Nan's head and presented it to Liu Liang.

"Oh? So you are Zhou Feng." Liu Liang also knew Zhou Feng from Zhuge Liang, and thought that he was at best an internal response, but he did not expect that the first merit would be taken by him.

Liu Liang took Sun Nan's head and saw that both of his eyes had been poked blind, his face was a bit displeased, and he thought: "Scholar can be killed but not humiliated, this man is really cruel."

"It's the villain, who is the general?" Zhou Feng asked cautiously.

Liu Liang threw Sun Nan's head to the guards behind him, found a box to put it in, and said confidently: "I am Liu Liang, the prefect of Shangyong."

The prefect of Two Thousand Stones sounds nice, but Shangyong used to be only one county in the eastern part of Hanzhong County. Even if Liu Liang came to office and established Jianshi County in the northern part of Shangyong, he only ruled two counties.

When Zhou Feng heard that the cavalry general called himself Liu Liang, his expression immediately became more respectful. This is the younger brother and general of General Annan Liu Jing.

Zhou Fengsu worshiped and said: "Liu Shangyong killed the brave Guan Yu who is known as the 'enemy of ten thousand people'. Everyone who heard it praised him. The villain has also admired Liu Shangyong's name for a long time. It is very fortunate to see you today."

Liu Liang grinned slightly. Killing Guan Yu really made him famous. Although Guan Yu was killed by Huang Zhong, the leaders were Liu Liang, Cai Sheng, and Huang Zhong. The credit for beheading Guan Yu can be counted. To Liu Liang's head.

After flattering Liu Liang, Zhou Feng got down to business: "Although Sun Nan and his party members around him have been killed by me, the defenders in the city have not yet surrendered. There are not a few people who are plotting to cause chaos. Please also invite Liu Shangyong to lead the army." Enter the city to calm the chaos."

Liu Liang also heard the hustle and bustle in the city, and immediately left a hundred riders to guard the city gate, let Zhou Feng lead the way, and rode his horse into Yichun.

Not more than a mile away, they ran into more than a hundred Yichun defenders head-on. They had obviously received the news that the North Gate had fallen, and they rushed to the North Gate to defend against the enemy.

"Kill me..." Liu Liang would not be polite to them, so he rode straight into the battle.

The hundreds of Yichun defenders have not yet met Liu Liang's cavalry. Just hearing the deafening sound of horseshoes, they are already terrified and in chaos. Now they are facing the charge of Liu Liang's cavalry. escape.

Liu Liang led his cavalry in pursuit, slashing and killing all the way, drinking all the enemy's blood. When the enemy army was completely wiped out, Liu Liang attacked from all directions and swept away the stubborn enemies in the city. The sound of rumbling horseshoes was everywhere in Yichun City , It didn't gradually subside until the afternoon.

The next day, Zhuge Liang led the army to Yichun. Liu Liang and Zhou Feng immediately put down their affairs and rushed to the north bank of the South River to meet them.

Zhuge Liang said to Zhou Feng: "Are you safe here?" When Liu Jing met Zhou Feng last year, Zhuge Liang was also present, and he was not as arrogant as Liu Liang, even when facing Zhou Feng, who was born in a group of bandits, he could still look pleasant.

Zhuge Liang said again: "Nowadays, soldiers have taken Yicheng without bloodshed. All the meritorious deeds of one step have to be rewarded. Originally, the position of magistrate of Yichun County is most suitable for one step, but under the national system, local people are not allowed to be local officials, and one step is from Yichun, but I can’t be the county magistrate of Yichun.”

In fact, even without the restriction of the three mutual laws, it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to hand over Yichun to Zhou Feng. Yichun's position is very important.

Zhou Feng had already regarded the magistrate of Yichun as his own, and he had issued orders in the name of the magistrate of Yichun these two days, but when he heard that he was not destined to be the magistrate of Yichun, he couldn't hide his disappointment on his face, and he reluctantly opened his mouth after a long time Said: "The villain depends entirely on the military division."

Zhuge Liang didn't seem to notice Zhou Feng's strangeness, and said with a smile: "Well, I will report to the general first, and temporarily declare that I will be the Sima of another department. Don't lead a battalion of troops, and go out with the army to fight against bandits. Once other counties are captured, I will declare You are a Marquis of Baili, do you think it is acceptable?"

Zhou Feng regained his mental balance a little, leaned over to thank him and said, "Thank you, Military Advisor."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, then declined Zhou Feng's invitation to enter the city, and ordered to camp on the north bank of the South River, while Zhuge Liang walked along the river with Xu Shu, Yang Yi and others.

Zhuge Liang pointed to the south bank of Nanshui, the forest of peaches and plums in the outskirts of Yichun, and said to the people behind him: "Peaches and plums in Yichun are the beauty of the world. Unfortunately, it is early winter, and the peach trees have all withered, so you don't have the chance to see the beauty."

Liu Cheng, the third son of Changsha Ding Wang Liu Fa, was once named Yichunhou, and he lived in the country for 17 years, and was later expelled from the country.During his reign, he built "Five Terraces", among which Yichun Terrace was the most, with tens of thousands of peaches and plums planted.Since then, the peaches and plums in Yichun have become the beauty of the world and are known to the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan and Zhu Hao failed to compete for Yuzhang, so they fled to Changsha via Yichun.It was the season of peach and plum blossoms at that time. Although he was on the way to escape, the beauty of Yichun peaches and plums still left a deep impression on Zhuge Liang in his youth, so that after many years, he still remembers it fresh and never forgets it.

In the evening, after the camp was set up and the soldiers had dinner, Zhuge Liang summoned all the generals in the big tent. Huang Zhong, Cai Sheng, Liu Liang, Wei Yan, Huo Jun, Shan Rifeng, Xi Zhen, etc. gathered in the tent for a while. Famous generals are like clouds.

Zhuge Liang looked around at the generals in the tent, and said slowly: "You are all veteran generals, you should know that Yichun is the gateway to the east and west, and all the supplies and supplies of the army will pass through this. There is absolutely no room for loss. You need to be guarded by generals. Who would you like?" Take on this important task?"

There was a dead silence in the tent, no one said a word, all the generals who were brave and fearless on the battlefield were all shrunken at this moment.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help crying and laughing. Since no one took the initiative, he had to order the generals himself. His eyes swept over the generals in the tent repeatedly, and finally stopped on Huo Jun.

The two generals Huang Zhong and Cai Sheng must not stay, and Liu Liang and Wei Yan, who are relied on by Zhuge Liang, cannot stay. Let's go to Xi Zhen and Huo Jun.Xi Zhen had guarded Jingnan for several years and had never participated in the Northern Expedition. It would be unreasonable to let him guard Yichun again. In this way, Huo Jun became the only candidate.
