Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 523 Mission accomplished, everyone’s thoughts

After Xu Huang heard the words of the deputy general on the city wall, he said with disdain: "Isn't it the big-eared bandits who attacked our Xiapi Kingdom first? Why are you trying to bite my Marquis Wen when death is imminent?"

When the three lieutenants on the city wall heard Xu Huang say that they had attacked Xiapi City, their expressions became even more ugly as if they had eaten dead flies.

When did they send troops to attack Xiapi?

Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?

The three lieutenants looked at each other, and then one of them continued: "My lord, I have never sent troops to attack Marquis Wen. Is there any misunderstanding in this?"

"What a misunderstanding. Hurry up and call the big-eared thief out to die!" Xu Huang cursed again.

When the three lieutenants heard what Xu Huang said, their expressions naturally became very ugly.

Liu Bei's prestige in Langya Kingdom is still very high, and he has been in the military camp all year round. He loves the people like his son and the soldiers like his son, so these soldiers are loyal to Liu Bei.

Now, when they heard that their lord was being insulted like this, their anger levels were naturally filled up.

I only saw a deputy general shouting loudly: "What qualifications do slaves with the third surname have to say such things? If you have the ability, come and attack the city!"

After saying this, the deputy general waved his hand and gave the order: "Archers, come and prepare, shoot them to death for me!"

Following the deputy general's order, the archers began to shoot arrows at Xu Huang and others.

Seeing this, Xu Huang did not hesitate at all and directly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

"Retreat, retreat!" After Xu Huang ordered, he directly led the soldiers out of the range of the bow and arrow.

Then, Xu Huang shouted loudly: "Today's shame will be repaid by Marquis Wen in the future. Let the big-eared thief wash his neck and wait!"

After saying these harsh words, Xu Huang led his troops and left.

After leaving Langya Kingdom, Xu Huang did not lead his troops far away. Instead, he left Dong'an City and found a place to temporarily station and repair.

After all, after traveling so far continuously, his subordinates were already exhausted.

While Xu Huang was leading people to repair, Le Jin, Tao Qian and Liu Bei had already escorted three envoys to the seaside of Guangling County.

Tao Qian found the governor of Guangling and asked him to find someone to help the three envoys go to sea.

With the help of local fishermen, Jin Lier and the three of them successfully went to sea with the gold seal and documents.

Le Jin stood on the shore and shouted to the three people on the boat: "Three envoys, after returning home, you must let your queen guard it, wait for my big man's reinforcements, and go to support you!"

"Thank you, General, thank you all!" Jin Li'er waved his hand from a distance and responded.

After Tao Qian heard the conversation between Le Jin and Jin Li'er, he keenly captured something.

Then, Tao Qian turned to Le Jin and asked, "General Le Jin, may I ask where the imperial court's reinforcements went to sea from when they went to support this evil country of Matai?"

Hearing this, Le Jin shook his head and said that he didn't know either: "I don't know about this either. Everything depends on the arrangements of the Major General, but I think there is a high probability that the Major General will also go to sea from here. I hope Tao Governor will do that by then." It’s convenient.”

When Tao Qian heard this, his heart pounded. He actually didn't want Cao Ang to lead his troops through Xuzhou, but the other party was in the name of the imperial court, so he had no choice but to compromise.

After seeing off the three envoys, Le Jin followed Tao Qian and Liu Bei to say goodbye.

"Prince Tao, Uncle Liu, the general has completed his mission and is ready to return to Luoyang to resume his duties." Le Jin clasped his fists at Tao Qian and Liu Bei.

When Tao Qian heard this, he said, "Okay, then I will send a hundred people to follow you, General Le Jin, to lead the way." Le Jin knew that Tao Qian was worried about him and was afraid that he would not leave in Xuzhou. .

However, according to the original plan, Le Jin did not need to stop in Xuzhou after completing the mission, he could just leave directly.

Just leave all the rest of the troublemaking to Xu Huang.

Tao Qian arranged for people to follow Le Jin, which was exactly what Le Jin wanted.

Because in this way, the things Xu Huang did would not be suspected on them.

Tao Qian arranged for someone to follow Le Jin, and told his men: "You must keep an eye on Le Jin and make sure he leads his troops out of Xuzhou, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, my lord, the general will definitely keep an eye on him!" The deputy general heard the words and responded hurriedly.

Tao Qian nodded, said nothing more, left a hundred people behind, and then left with his troops.

After Tao Qian left, Liu Bei also visited Yue Jin.

"The general is in a hurry this time. Otherwise, he can go to Langya to repair it. The scenery in Langya is beautiful, and the general can just relax."

Liu Bei clasped his fists at Le Jin and was polite.

Le Jin naturally knew that Liu Bei was being polite to him. Moreover, even if Liu Bei really invited him, he would not dare to go.

This Langya is Liu Bei's territory. Who knows if his life will be in danger after he goes there.

I saw Le Jin clasping his fists at Liu Bei and saying, "Uncle Huang's kindness has gone to my heart. It's just that I have a mission this time and it's not convenient to stay for a long time."

"When the general takes a rest, he must go to Langya to visit the emperor's uncle. When the time comes, please ask the emperor not to think it's troublesome for the general!"

Liu Bei also smiled happily when he heard this and responded: "What did the general say? It's too late for him to welcome the general!"

After the two people exchanged pleasantries, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei left with their troops.

Le Jin did not stop and marched directly towards Yanzhou.

This Yanzhou is where Cao Cao and Cao Ang started their careers, and of course it is also their own territory.

Le Jin had made an agreement with Xu Huang before. After the mission was completed, the two would meet in Qiaojun, Yanzhou, and return to Luoyang together.

……

On Liu Bei's way back to Langya, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh and said: "Hey, brother, we are so close to the second brother in Guangling County, we should cross the river to have a look."

When Liu Bei heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said: "After all, you and I have important matters to attend to this time. If we both cross the river, won't there be no one to lead these soldiers?"

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up when he heard what Liu Bei said, and he asked curiously: "Brother, were you trying to win over Le Jin by being so polite to him just now?"

"Huh?" When Liu Bei heard this, he looked at his third brother in surprise. He had indeed gained a good impression in front of Le Jin just now. After all, he had too few people he could use.

But Liu Bei didn't expect that his purpose would be so obvious, even his third brother, who had always been careless, could see it.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei smiled softly, did not speak, and just nodded.
