Shuhan

Chapter 255 My lord, I advise you to be kind!

Xuzhou.

Wu County.

Today's Wuxian city is filled with a heavy atmosphere, and the traces of the war can be seen in every corner of the city.

The houses on the street are messy, the tiles are scattered all over the place, and the dust is filled. The holes and scorched marks on the city wall reveal the fierce battles that once took place.

There are almost no pedestrians on the street, only the barking and crying of solitary dogs can be heard from time to time.

The facades of some shops were damaged, and the goods on the stalls were scattered all over the place, and no one cared about them.

The once lively market now looks desolate and desolate.

There is a mess everywhere, the remaining weapons and armor are scattered among them, and there are bloodstains on the ground.

The residents of Wuxian City all showed worry and panic. Their homes have been devastated by the war.

The bandits pass like a comb, and the soldiers pass like a grate.

The atmosphere in the city was heavy, and the people who were caught as civilian husbands walked in a hurry, with panic in their eyes.

In the market, some people couldn't help covering their faces and crying, while others looked around anxiously, hoping to find a glimmer of life and hope.

After Zong Ziqing revealed his identity, he walked towards the city under the leadership of the defeated soldier.

The scenery he saw along the way made him frown.

These Qiu Ba are really doing a lot of harm to people!
A good Wu County has been ruined by these big soldiers.

It is a pity.

However, Zong Ziqing was just thinking about it in his heart.

It was not the first time he saw such a scene when there was a war in Nanyang County.

The more you watch it, the harder your heart becomes, and you get used to it.

"Your master has not seen yet?"

After walking for a long time and still not seeing Yi Li, Zong Ziqing looked unhappy.

The man who didn't want to lead stopped, turned his head to look at Zong Ziqing, and stretched out his right hand.

With that appearance, he was clearly here to ask for a reward.

"My lord, it's not easy to be small, why don't you give me some rewards?"

Zong Ziqing sneered and said, "What do you want?"

The defeated soldier smiled and said: "Gold, silver, wealth, anything valuable is fine."

Zong Ziqing took out a purse from his pocket, which contained a pack of five baht coins.

"Is this enough?"

These little devils, if you can not offend them, it is better not to offend them.

It is not worth causing trouble for a little money.

but
It can also be seen from this that Yi Li's defeat was cruel enough.

The morale of the army was directly slackened.

And judging by the appearance of these sergeants, Yi Li did not restrain them at all.

It seemed that after losing the battle, Yili no longer had the will to fight.

just
Without the soldiers in his hand, who can he surrender to?

Wei Guo?

Or Zang Ba?

The defeated soldier weighed the weight of the money in his hand, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Where is it, please come here, my lord!"

After speaking, he led Zong Ziqing into an alley that he had walked through before.

Good guy!
This was a place he had walked through before. It seemed that if he didn't give him the money, he would have to go through countless injustices in Wu County.

"My lord, please."

Walking into the small courtyard, I could only hear waves of women's shouts. The shouts were melodious and desolate, intermittent, but wavering. As a person who had been there, Zong Ziqing naturally knew what was going on inside.

Let’s just say that the soldiers of Xiapi were supposed to be elite, how did they become like this? It turned out that the leader Yi Li took the lead!

And this leading role is obviously not a good role.

It is normal for the soldiers to follow suit.

Zong Ziqing didn't rush to bother her.

As a man, if he is disturbed at a critical moment, his mood will definitely not get better.

Not long after, the sound of wind and rain in the courtyard finally stopped.

At this time, Zong Ziqing walked into it.

Entering the purpose is an unsightly scene.

A piece of white flower.

Eli did not hide it at all.

It's just that the women who were taken captive covered the key parts of their bodies with their hands in despair and shame.

"You said you were the envoy of the Crown Prince of Hanzhong?"

"Exactly."

Zong Ziqing frowned, this guy saw him in such a scene, obviously he didn't take him seriously.

"ridiculous!"

Yi Li's eyes were bloodshot, and he snorted coldly and said, "The Prince Liu Gongsi of the King of Hanzhong is hundreds of miles away, how can he take care of this place? You are the envoy, most likely it is fake. I have heard that there is a fake envoy of the King of Hanzhong in Pengcheng. Is that person you? Say, that Zang Ai wanted you to come, but he wanted my life?"

Zong Ziqing said coldly: "I am the descendant of the Runan Zong family. My name is Zong Ziqing. I am responsible for the affairs of the business alliance. Only then did I receive the order from His Highness. This is a letter written by His Highness. You can read it. My Highness knows He knows astronomy and geography, not to mention things hundreds of miles away, he can also know things thousands of miles away!"

Zong Ziqing handed the letter to Yi Li's personal guard beside him.

These personal guards were also disheveled. Obviously, what happened here was a fierce impact.

Yili's personal guard also participated in it.

I'm afraid that many of the people in this courtyard are fellow-men.

After receiving the letter, Yi Li studied it carefully.

The seal is indeed from the Crown Prince of Hanzhong.

He glanced at Zong Ziqing again and couldn't help but believe a little bit.

"Then I don't know why the Crown Prince of Hanzhong called you here, what's the matter?"

Zong Ziqing shook his head and said: "I thought you were a hero, but you can be called a hero if you are not a hero, but what happened? It is really unsightly, let alone a hero. Now it is not an exaggeration to call it a bear. Your Excellency’s behavior is considered to be a waste of my visit today.”

After speaking, Zong Ziqing made a gesture to leave.

"The envoy stays."

Yi Li simply put on the clothes on his body.

"This is not the place to talk. Please forgive me, please."

Yi Li led Zong Ziqing into the small courtyard next door. These courtyards were originally the places where dignitaries lived.

However.
The masters of these small courtyards, the men either escaped or died, and the women's family members were miserable, and became the targets of the soldiers and soldiers.

This yard is much cleaner and tidier.

"Now I am indeed like a bereaved dog. Xiapi was ambushed by Zang Ba, with less than three thousand soldiers in hand."

Saying that, Eli sighed.

"Now that I'm going to the Wei Army, I'm afraid these 3000 people will be annexed by them, but if I don't go, how can there be a place for me in Xuzhou?"

He betrayed Zang Ba. Even if Zang Ba could forgive him now, he would still be unable to escape death when Xuzhou was pacified.

He knew Zang Ba's temperament very well.

Going to Wei country, at most, you can do a casual job, and you can't be a toubob.

But staying in Xuzhou is a dead end.

It was precisely because of his pessimism about the future that Yili went wild. In these days, he just wanted to have fun and not think about other things.

"I don't know, does the Crown Prince of Hanzhong have anything to teach me?"

Zong Ziqing saw that his attitude was normal, so he also started talking.

"His Royal Highness originally called me to use your military power to meddle in Xuzhou's affairs, and even hand over the benefits of the business alliance to you so that you can rule Xuzhou."

After speaking, Zong Ziqing sighed, and then said: "It's a pity that you don't have enough military strength now. It's hard for 3000 people to protect themselves. What do you want to do in Xuzhou?"

Hearing this, Yi Li suddenly became depressed.How did Zang Ba start?

In addition to his reputation in Xuzhou, it is more because of the continuous supply of money and silk from the business alliance of the crown prince of Hanzhong. Return to Zang Ba.

If Xiapi is still in his hands, and he has the benefits of a business alliance, he might be able to replicate the path Zang Ba walked.

But it's too late to say anything now.

"It's too late to regret!"

Yili sighed heavily.

"However, His Highness also anticipated the general's current situation, and pointed out a way out for the general."

way out?

Yili's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Also ask the envoy to speak clearly!"

At this moment, he looks very humble.

The burning and pleading eyes were like a hungry and crazy puppy, wanting to eat delicious food.

"My Highness, I left you a county in Xuzhou. I wonder if you would like to guard it for my Highness?"

That's right.

From the very beginning, Liu Chan never really believed Zang Ba's words.

There are tens of thousands of people in one county, and it is hundreds of miles wide. Especially Guangling County is close to the sea, with Jiangdong below, so its geographical location is very advantageous.

Will Zang Ba really give this place to him?
If it were Liu Chan, he wouldn't give it either.

When you have 100 yuan, you may be willing to give someone else a dollar.

But when you only have ten dollars, or even five dollars, and someone asks you for one dollar, you may not be so willing.

Yi Li was shocked.

Give me a county?
He is now like a bereaved dog. With three thousand soldiers, can he really get the land of a county?
He was skeptical about this.

But when he thought that he was Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, he could even defeat the king of Wei, what else could he not do?

Believe first!
Doubt again!
Yi Li said to Zong Ziqing, "Please let the envoy clarify."

"Guangling County, what do you think?"

Guangling County?
Yi Li frowned.

"It doesn't matter that I'm in Guangling County. How can three thousand soldiers manage Guangling County? Could the messenger be joking?"

Zong Ziqing smiled and said: "Of course I'm not joking. My Highness borrowed three thousand troops from Zang Ba. The condition of the covenant is that he should cut off Guangling County. Now in Guangling County, there are three thousand Jingzhou soldiers from me. Guard the cities of Guangling, and if the general goes forward, he will be able to enter Guangling County."

There is such a good thing?

The doubts and haze in my heart were swept away in an instant.

Yi Li asked again: "Is this really true?"

"Of course it's true."

After the ecstasy, Yili had some doubts in his heart.

There seems to be something wrong with this matter.

The Crown Prince of Hanzhong really gave him Guangling County?
Such a good thing, will it really happen?

There is no free lunch in the sky, Yi Li thought about it, and then asked: "Is this really true? Your Highness doesn't need me to do other things?"

Zong Ziqing thought for a moment and said, "His Highness wants you to guard Guangling County and cooperate with His Highness in sending troops to fight in the future."

Liu Chan from Guangling County can send one person to take charge.

However.
Xuzhou people are still somewhat resistant to foreigners.

It is naturally the best choice for the local Yili to guard the place.

and
Zang Ba will not sit back and watch Guangling County be cut off by Liu Chan, there must be some action in it, and Yili still needs to guard Guangling County.

For Yi Li, in Xuzhou he could only fight against Zang Ba, and if he fought against Zang Ba, then he could only hug Liu Chan's thigh.

This is killing two birds with one stone.

Whether it is going to attack Jiangdong or Xuzhou in the future, with the enclave of Guangling County, Liu Chan's room for sending troops will be more flexible.

"As ordered, I will naturally accept the order."

fighting spirit.

Fighting intent!

It reappeared on Yi Li.

He still has hope, he can turn over!
Zang Ba can dominate Xuzhou with the momentum of the Hanzhong Crown Prince. There is no reason why he cannot gain a foothold in Guangling County, and after gaining a foothold in Guangling County, there may not be any hope of peeking into Xuzhou.

people.

Think big!

"However, if the general wants to go to Guangling, you have to take care of your soldiers. If you have such soldiers, you may have to camp before they reach Guangling County. Moreover, I have to explain to you that the general is in Guangling County. Only the right to lead the army, the officials of the prefectures and counties, my Highness will arrange appointments in the future, since it is my own territory, there should be no such incidents as Wu County's looting."

Only the right to lead the army?

Yi Li frowned, but soon his brows relaxed.

"Now I am the general of the defeated army, so naturally everyone will obey me, envoy, please!"

Put aside the matter in Xuzhou first.

But in Jiujiang County, in the Jiangdong camp outside Chengde City, Zhuge Jin who returned really brought bad news to Sun Quan.

"Old Zang Ba, do you really say that?"

Sun Quan has a dignified face, with well-defined features, and a calm and thoughtful expression on his well-defined face.

His black hair was combed neatly and hung on his forehead, looking a little stiff.A slight beard covered the chin, appearing calm and dignified.

However, at this time, his brows were furrowed into a frown, and his whole person looked a little gloomy.

In the next part, Zhuge Jin had no choice but to say with a wry smile: "That's what General Zhendong said."

"Humph!"

Snapped!
Sun Quan's hand slapped heavily on the document in front of him.

"If I hadn't let him go, would Zang Ba'an have borrowed troops to go to Xuzhou? You ungrateful guy, when I see him in the future, I will kill him with my own hands!"

Hurrah!

Sun Quan was so angry that his chest occasionally heaved violently.

I didn't lend you any soldiers, but did I let you go for the three thousand Jingzhou soldiers you borrowed?
Isn't this Ender?
"My lord, now Chengde is not easy to attack. Hefei city defense has been completed, and our army is short of food and grass. Why don't we go back to Jiangdong first and leave an elite army in Hefei."

Lu Meng looked as usual, stepped forward and said.

The news that the army's food and grass were in short supply had been known to the army a few days ago.

There is also the reason why the Wei army's thousands of cavalry were behind to disrupt the grain road.

In short, if Chengde cannot be captured in a short time, then there is no need for Jiangdong's army to stay here.

Sun Quan also understood what Lu Meng meant.

Actually.

Three days ago, he asked 1 people to escort the wounded soldiers back to Jianye.

The reason why Zhugejin was sent to Xuzhou as an envoy was to see if there was any chance to attack Chengde and win Shouchun.

Now it seems
This chance is close to zero.

Zang Ba is indeed not a fool.

"I heard that Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, has gained quite a lot in Runan?"

Gu Yong took a step forward, saluted and said: "That's true. He made a new interest first, and then captured Ancheng. I heard that many of the nobles in Runan belonged to him."

How does this kid get benefits so often?
And he, Sun Quan, can't?

"Humph!"

Sun Quan snorted coldly and said, "Wait, is it possible to form an alliance with that Liu Gongsi, use that Liu Chan to contain the main force of the Wei army, and we go to plan Shouchun?"

As soon as Sun Quan said this, there was silence in the tent.

The generals and counselors in the tent looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak.

Lord, how many times have you betrayed your promise, and people still believe you?
Zhuge Jin had a bitter expression on his face.

Could it be that he lost his face in Xuzhou just now and was humiliated for a long time, and he still wants to go to Runan to give the Prince of Hanzhong a few fierce slaps?

My lord, I advise you to be kind!
