Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 75 71.5 The Past of Jingzhou (II) (310)

"Zhou Si" had met Captain Liu before, and Captain Liu was also very surprised.

"Captain Liu, let me ask you, since you have neither surrendered to Wu nor returned to your hometown, hiding your identity and name, but leading your troops to plunder the Wu army, do you still feel grateful for your kindness, my Lord?"

Zhou Si sat in the hall, facing Captain Liu, and asked him what he thought.

"Sir... I am ashamed to say this. When our army was defeated that day, I led my troops back to my hometown. After learning that my hometown was safe, my parents and the elders of my hometown were very unhappy that I had abandoned you and fled back. Therefore, I simply took more than a thousand fellow villagers and continued to wander around to fight against the Wu army.

During this process, from time to time, former comrades have had the same idea as me, and they have joined our army. So far, there are more than 6,000 of them. "

Captain Liu also told the truth. Although the Jingzhou army was defeated at that time, many people regretted it after learning that their hometown was safe. Later, they heard the news of Guan Yu's death, and many people blamed themselves for it, and simply attacked the Wu army like bandits.

"Captain Liu, I came from Dangyang. I heard that Cao Cao is dead and my Han army will return to Jingzhou soon. Are you willing to work with me to achieve great things, welcome the army back, and avenge you?"

"Of course I am willing...! I still regret why I left you behind... Now I can avenge you, even if I die!"

"Okay, it's rare that Captain Liu is so loyal. I have a plan. You guys just do this and that... and then... just wait."

"Yes! As the lord has entrusted me, I will certainly follow him!"

Captain Liu nodded, indicating that he understood, and the two talked about something else, and Zhou Si left. Captain Liu had made arrangements here, and he had other people to meet.

The Jingzhou navy was not much inferior to the Jiangdong navy when Guan Yu was there. After Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, most of the Jingxiang navy was also forced to surrender and was resting in the Gong'an area at this time, which was also Zhou Si's next target.

……

It takes quite a lot of effort to travel from Dangyang to Gong'an, and one also needs to cross the river, so it takes a lot of effort. Zhou Si has to head south first.

However, misfortunes never come singly. When he was traveling near Jiangling, Zhou Si was targeted by troublesome people.

"Hey! Don't run away, man! Master Pan Jun wants to conduct a thorough search for Guan Yu's remnants these days. You stay here and let us take a closer look!"

Zhou Si encountered a small group of Eastern Wu cavalry, only about a dozen people. They seemed to be patrolling aimlessly. After seeing Zhou Si, Lian Kang, the leading team leader, instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this person.

Lian Kang was originally a local bandit in Jingzhou. When Guan Yu was still alive, bandits like Lian Kang had long been conquered. However, Lian Kang himself was extremely strong and could not be defeated by just a dozen soldiers. So he managed to escape by chance, but he never dared to cause trouble again and could only hide quietly.

Later, when the Wu army came, Lian Kang, who had a grudge against Guan Yu, decided to join the Wu army. As he was quite skilled in fighting, he was soon appointed as a sergeant and worked under Pan Jun.

Recently, Fan Zhou rebelled, and Pan Jun asked for 5,000 troops and decided to quell the rebellion personally. Lian Kang and others were ordered by Pan Jun to patrol the area around Jiangling to prevent Guan Yu's remnants from taking the opportunity to respond.

As a former mountain king, Lian Kang had a good eye. In addition, he had surrendered soldiers from Jingzhou sent by Pan Jun under his command, so he actually captured several minor officials from Jingzhou who wanted to go south to join Fan Zhou.

At this time, Lian Kang saw Zhou Si acting suspiciously from afar. His intuition plus the surrendered soldier beside him saying that the man looked familiar prompted Lian Kang to decide to arrest Zhou Si and interrogate him.

Seeing that the enemy had more people and he didn't want to cause any trouble, Zhou Si simply rode away. Seeing Zhou Si running away, Lian Kang became more certain of his idea and simply led his team to chase Zhou Si.

The two teams ran out for more than ten miles one after the other. Zhou Si saw a dozen teenagers riding horses and hunting in front of him. He was also worried that the war would affect them, so he simply shouted loudly:
"The kid in front, get out of the way!"

Unexpectedly, a female rider in armor rode out from the crowd. She was only 10 years old, but very heroic. She frowned slightly and looked at the two groups of people rushing towards them. "Hiss...!"

Zhou Si saw the beautiful and heroic female rider and couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Unfortunately, the female rider also recognized him and rode towards him.

Seeing the other party coming towards him, Zhou Si could no longer pretend not to know her. He had no choice but to stop his horse and dismount to talk to the young female rider.

"Miss, are you safe? I'm so glad to hear that..."

Zhou Si had tears in his eyes and he could hardly control his emotions.

"Uncle, you are safe and sound too? I heard that you and my father were murdered together, but I didn't expect to see you here now..."

"Miss, please don't say anything more and leave quickly! The Wu soldiers behind me have come here to investigate me, so I don't want to implicate you!"

When Zhou Si saw that Lian Kang's pursuers were approaching, he also jumped on his horse, intending to fight them to the death.

"There are only a dozen riders. Weizhi! Come here to meet your uncle!"

The dozen or so teenagers led by the female rider surrounded them, and a young boy who looked only in his early teens looked at Zhou Si curiously.

"Uncle, wait here for a moment and take good care of Weizhi. I'll be right back with my servants!"

It turned out that most of these young people were soldiers from Jingzhou. They were usually brave and aggressive, and at this moment they were fearless like newborn calves, and actually followed the female rider to charge forward.

"Hmm? Where did this little girl come from? She is so beautiful. Why don't you go home with me and become my wife?"

Lian Kang burst into laughter when he saw the female rider coming towards him and started to tease her.

"How dare you, ugly bastard, speak nonsense to me! Wait till I chop off your stinking head and feed it to the dogs!"

This female rider was quite aggressive and swearing a lot, which made Lian Kang feel that she had a strong personality and he liked her even more.

The female rider also wielded a large knife and slashed at Lian Kang. Lian Kang smiled and blocked it with his gun. He instinctively thought that this girl was just an embroidered pillow who knew a few fancy moves, so he didn't put much effort.

However, as soon as the gun and the knife touched each other, Lian Kang felt a huge force coming. The strength of this female rider was beyond his expectation. Lian Kang was so scared that he did not dare to underestimate her. He gathered his strength and stabbed with his gun.

"You are such a vicious girl! When I catch you, I will definitely spank you hard!"

Lian Kang was trying his best to cheer himself up and use all his strength while swearing.

Unexpectedly, the female rider on the opposite side didn't seem to have used her full strength in the first move. Her sword moves were more powerful than the last, making Lian Kang sweat profusely.

"Corporal! She...she is!"

The surrendered soldier from Jingzhou seemed to recognize the female rider, but before he could finish his words, the broadsword in the female rider's hand, which was as powerful as thousands of waves, suddenly left a shadow. Lian Kang suddenly froze in place, with blood oozing from his neck, forming a red "neck ring".
