Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 708
After dawn, the sun is like a rainbow.

Wisps of golden light reflected in this small rural town in Dengxian County. The streets and alleys in the city, the wealthy families, traffickers and pawns all knew that the city had changed hands overnight.

Mujing is stepping into the sunshine.

On the street directly into the city gate, there are many figures on the left and right. Countless eyes are looking at the gate of the city, waiting for Mu Jing's figure, as if welcoming the Mu army to enter the city.

"You arranged?"

With a tall horse and a military uniform, Mu Jing walked in step by step. After passing the city gate, he looked around the street and looked at these common people, frowning slightly.

Their shepherd army attacked Jingzhou, and their division came out of no name. They are regarded as unrighteous divisions. In the eyes of many Jingzhou people, they are invaders. Just look at Fancheng. The whole city resisted. He did not believe that the people of Deng County would welcome him from the bottom of their hearts. .

"no!"

Huang Zhong shook his head: "It was arranged by those families in the city!"

This really wasn't arranged by Huang Zhong and the others.

It was arranged by several wealthy families in the city.

Don't show it at this time, they are afraid that Mu Jing will start killing. In this world, the soldier is king. Now that the Mu army has entered the city, the Mu army is the king. It is just an order to raid the family and exterminate the clan.

"Old man Deng Kuang, pay homage to Master Minghou!"

An old man in his sixties, representing the gentry of Deng County, stood in the middle of the street, bowing his head to greet him.

"This is a famous local hotel!"

Huo Yu introduced in a low voice beside him: "He is also the elder of the Deng clan!"

In any place, there will always be a few elders who are highly respected, or who are famous in the world with knowledge, or who are virtuous, so that local scholars and common people will love and support them.

"Old Deng is too polite!"

Under Mujing, he went up to meet them personally. He still respected these elders very much. People who can enjoy a good reputation are not big traitors, but must be great. On the surface, they are all popular: "Deng Lao is an elder, and Jing is also a junior. How can you bother Mr. Deng's frame, this is a terrible scene!"

"Although Lord Minghou is young, he is indeed a hero in the world. He governs the court in the four fields, and orders all the people in the four directions. The little old man is just a commoner. This should be a courtesy!"

Deng Kuang is the face god of the Deng family. He is white-haired and knowledgeable. Not only the Deng family, but also the entire Deng county is well-known. He was able to meet Mujing in person because the Deng family made a Choose, so I hope to completely board the thief ship of Minghou Mansion.

"The old man praised him so much, Jing dare not take it for granted!"

Mu Jing hurriedly returned the gift.

"Your Majesty Ming has traveled a long distance and must be exhausted. We have already prepared a banquet in our city, and please honor your lord Ming!" Deng Kuang issued an invitation.

The pairs of eyes behind him also looked at Mujing.

This is their kindness.

It depends on whether Mujing accepts it or not.

"That scene is disrespectful!"

Mu Jing responded with a smile.

Although Deng County is small, it still needs to be appeased. Although Deng Zhi successfully persuaded Deng's clan to open the city gate to welcome the herdsmen to enter the city, nine out of ten people in the city are restless, so he also needs to show his generosity.

The banquet lasted for a whole day, and in the end it was a feast for the guests and host.

evening.

Mu Jing returned to the military camp outside the city, reeking of alcohol.

"Go take a bath immediately!" Zhang Ning had already arranged the bathtub, pinched his nose, and said arrogantly.

Mujing didn't dare to say anything, so he obediently went to the back tent to wash and wash.

I took a shower and felt much refreshed.

He was dressed in a loose robe.

The hair hangs naturally and has covered the shoulders.

These days, the body, hair and skin are subject to parents, who can never move without cutting it. Even if they have no choice but to cut their hair, it depends on the day. Long hair is very troublesome.

Sometimes he just wants to cut a small crew cut, which is comfortable.

But he didn't dare.

People cannot be out of tune with the environment, just like an ancient person suddenly appearing in modern society, he will appear to be independent of the golden rooster, and he is probably either a lunatic or a fool.

"My lord, the army is back!"

Huo Yu came in to report.

"Let them in!" Mu Jing sat cross-legged on the bed, while Zhang Ning knelt behind him and was brushing his messy hair for him.

"Meet the lord!"

Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang entered hand in hand.

"Just talk about the results!"

"Two thousand enemies were captured, one thousand five were killed, the chief general Zhang Hu led more than two thousand remnants and escaped from the battlefield!" Zhou Cang replied.

"Zhang Hu escaped?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "This guy is so vigilant!"

"He reacts very quickly. If he breaks through half an hour later, our army will be able to completely block the gap, and he will definitely become a turtle in the urn!" Zhang Liao said with some regret.

"Things can't be too perfect!" Mu Jing shook his head: "How about the casualties of our army?"

"An easy war with negligible casualties!"

Zhou Cang cupped his hands and said, "Only a mountain peak more than ten miles away from the east of the city was pinned down by the people behind them for a while. Twelve soldiers were killed in battle, and more than a hundred people were in their hands!"

"Wounded soldiers, please be comforted, and the bones of heroes who died in battle must be placed properly!"

Mu Jing instructed.

"Yes!"

Zhou Cang nodded.

"Jingping's first army has arrived in Fancheng, and starting tomorrow, the generals of your three armies will join forces to lay out a strategy to attack Xiangyang!" Mu Jing's eyes were long: "This battle in Xiangyang must not be careless, it must be a bloody battle, The Jingzhou army will fight us desperately, and we have no way out, so we can only move forward!"

"promise!"

Zhou Cang and Zhang Liao took command.

"Where is Deng Zhi!" Mu Jing suddenly called out.

"exist!"

Deng Zhi has been waiting outside the camp.

He made great contributions, but he didn't dare to be arrogant. This contribution is really nothing to Mu Jun. Deng County is just a small town. If it didn't have a city wall, it might only be regarded as a small town. Compared with the big cities like Fancheng , the difference is far, and he is only the lead, not the main attack.

"Since you want to march and fight, you have to follow the rules!"

Mu Jing looked at the young man and said, "I will make an exception for you according to the rules you set up in this battle, and I will specially recruit you to join the army, enroll in the roster, and enroll in the army. In addition, for the merits of Deng County, I will personally reward you, the third in the Modao Battalion." Qu, the post of Marquis!"

"Thank you, lord, for your appreciation, I'm determined to die after my lord dies!"

Deng Zhi said excitedly.

Modao Camp, Guards Camp, the first battalion only has [-] soldiers, all of them are elites, and the position of Marquis is very hot. Before he heard Zhang Liao complaining, he sent a few masters, and even took the position of Marquis less than.

……

Xiangyang City.

Now it's spring plowing, and all the attention of the prefectural pastor's mansion is on the spring plowing, but the peace that was supposed to be broken by a thunderbolt.

"My lord, Deng County has fallen!"

"what?"

Liu Biao was furious: "It's only been a few days, how is it possible!"

He is ready to fall to Deng County.

Fancheng can be a strong gate to defend against the enemy.

However, Fancheng has been lost, and the next terrain is like a flat river. Deng County has no danger to defend. With Zhang Hu's troops, he must not be able to defend it, but he never imagined that it would fall in just a few days. .

This was beyond his expectation, and it also suppressed his time to deploy troops.

"Where's Zhang Hu?"

Liu Biao yelled, "Did he vote for the Mu Army?"

"Lieutenant Zhang Hu escaped from the encirclement with the remnant soldiers, and now rests in a mountain pavilion thirty miles out of the city!"

"Let him come to see me immediately!"

Liu Biao said coldly.

Soon Zhang Hu arrived.

He bowed his head down, expressionless, and bowed his hands: "The guilty general Zhang Hu, pay homage to the lord!"

"Zhang Hu, ask yourself how you treat you well, why did you hurt me like this!"

Liu Biao stared at Zhang Hu, his eyes were a little cold and serious, with a faint murderous intent condensed, and his gloomy voice was like an ice cellar of ten thousand years.

"Crime will be bad for defending the city, please punish me, Lord!" Zhang Hu had communicated with Wenpin before coming, and it was the best way to plead guilty directly.

"Punishment?"

Liu Biao's cold face carried a trace of murderous intent: "You lose my Fancheng first, and then Deng County, if this is a crime, you should be punished!"

"My lord, please calm down!"

At this time, Kuai Liang stood up and said, "It's better to ask first how Deng County lost it!"

Kuai Liang appeased Liu Biao's anger, and asked Zhang Hu in a harmonious voice, "Lieutenant Zhang, I don't know about the Battle of Deng County. The reason for this is that with Captain Zhang's ability, even if he loses to the strength of the Mu army, he can't do it in just a few days. Deng County will be lost in one day!"

"It's not a few days, it's overnight..."

Zhang Hu bitterly recounted the whole story before and after the battle, and then cupped his hands and said, "It was the tiger who was careless. He never guarded against the Deng clan in the city, which led to the change of ownership in Deng County. This crime is not to be shirked. Please punish me, my lord!"

"Deng Shi!"

Liu Biao's eyes became gloomy all of a sudden, and he looked at Zhang Hu fiercely: "You are serious about what you said, if you lie even half a sentence, I will kill you immediately!"

"My lord, even though the criminal will throw away the city and land, he will never dare to lie about it!"

Zhang Hu said in a deep voice.

"My lord, this battle is not a crime. Although Captain Zhang Hu has done it, but this is a time for employing people, please think twice, my lord!" Kuai Liang believed what Zhang Hu said. It is not difficult to inquire about this matter. False, there will be news soon.

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime can't be escaped!"

Liu Biao glanced at Zhang Hu in disgust, and after a while, he said, "Pull him out to fight [-] military battles!"

"Yes!"

The executioners from left and right came up and pulled Zhang Hu out to fight thirty military battles.

"My lord, Deng County has been lost, and the soldiers are coming to the city soon!"

Kuai Liang cupped his hands and said, "We've already made preparations!"

"They came so fast, if that's the case, let's fight!"

Liu Biao's eyes flickered brightly: "Order Huang Zu to lead the army into Xiangyang!"
