There are two mountain ranges between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, one is called Jiuli Mountain and the other is called Mangdang Mountain, which become the natural boundary between Yanzhou and Xuzhou.Between these two mountains is a narrow strip tens of miles long, which is an important road from Yanzhou to Xuzhou.At the northern end of this narrow strip, there is a county called Liu County, with a population of just over [-] people, but it tightly strangles the northern throat of this narrow strip. There is also a similar county at the southern end of this narrow strip, called Xiao County, which belongs to Xuzhou jurisdiction.

After the Beibei Army took control of Yanzhou, it immediately dispatched an army of [-] people to control Liu County, and built a checkpoint at the entrance of the northern section of the narrow strip.Five hundred sergeants are often stationed on the checkpoint.All business travelers passing through this place must be inspected by checkpoints.

On the high sentry tower, the patrolling soldiers are watching the front carefully, not in the slightest like other vassal armies.Although it is impossible for the North Army to meet the enemy here, the strict military regulations subconsciously restrain the behavior of these troops.

Suddenly, the sentinel saw the dust rising in the distance, and it seemed that many people were galloping on horses, which had never happened before. The sentinel immediately blew the horn, and the soldiers on the nearby beacon tower immediately lit the torches, ready to go After the beacon fire was lit, the five hundred soldiers in the checkpoint quickly took their positions, ready to fight at any time. In just a moment, the Northern Expedition Army in the checkpoint was ready. [

A ragged scholar galloped on his horse with a terrified expression on his face, looking back from time to time.More than a hundred cavalry in dark green armor chased after him.

The scholar beat the horse under his crotch desperately, and his horse was already foaming at the mouth.

Suddenly a battle flag far away appeared in the scholar's field of vision. After looking carefully, he could faintly see the word "Zhengbei" embroidered on the battle flag.The scholar's eyes lit up immediately, and his dejected expression quickly regained his vitality.

"Zhengbei Army save me! Zhengbei Army save me!...", the scholar shouted while waving his hands.

The small principal in charge of guarding the checkpoint couldn't help frowning, and asked the soldiers beside him, "What is that man calling?" "It seems to be calling 'Zhengbei Army save me'"

"Look at this posture, if that person can't get away from us, he will be captured and killed by the other party!" The principal murmured, then raised his head and asked the sentinel above his head, "How many people are chasing behind that person?"

"No more than two hundred riders, wearing dark green armor." The sentinel replied immediately.

"Dark green armor? That must be Yuan Shu's men!".Regarding the basic situation of the princes, Chen Chu had already asked the generals to give a brief introduction. According to Chen Chu, the army must understand its future opponents.

The small school immediately ordered: "The first to fourth teams will follow me out of the village, and the fifth team will stay behind. If there is any abnormal situation, immediately light the beacon fire!"

Afterwards, Xiaoxiao led [-] infantry out of the stronghold, and quickly went up to meet them.Due to the influence of Chen Chu's thoughts, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army will never turn a blind eye to the common people who call for help. It is precisely because of this that in the next few battles, the enemy will often use the Northern Expedition Army However, the northern army and even the army of the new dynasty have always adhered to this belief.

Seeing the North Zheng army coming out of the camp, the scholar immediately showed joy, the pursuers behind him paused, became confused, and then continued to pursue, but due to this delay, the distance between them and the scholar expanded to more than twenty steps.

Suddenly, the pursuers shot arrows at the scholar. It seems that the pursuers no longer want to capture the scholar alive.The arrow flew past the scholar, but the scholar was not injured. I really don't know whether it is the scholar's good luck or the quality of these cavalry is too low.

The [-] Beibei Army stopped a hundred steps away from the gate of the village. Following the Xiaoxiao's order, the soldiers immediately formed a conical attack formation.At this moment, the scholar has come thirty steps away.

"Shoot the arrow, warn the other party!" Then a soldier shot a loud arrow towards the cavalry, and the arrow flew across the sky with a howling sound, and plunged into the ground a few steps ahead of the cavalry.The cavalry immediately pulled the reins, and the horses suddenly struggled. Many horses neighed and stood up, and the scene seemed a bit chaotic.

"

This is the sentry post of the Northern Army, and the visitors must report their identities! "The little school shouted loudly.

The cavalrymen looked at each other in blank dismay, and the leading officer rode forward, clasped his fists and said, "We are under the command of Governor Yuan, and we are hunting down the traitors!"

His horse was foaming at the mouth, trembling with four hooves, neighing weakly.

Four soldiers of the Zhengbei Army marched out and dragged the scholar into the formation. [

"This is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Northern Army. No matter what crimes this person has committed, he should be dealt with by the Northern Army!"

If it was normal, Yuan Shu's subordinates would definitely go back home by now, but the current situation is special, the identity of this scholar is not simple, and the cavalry officer dare not let him go easily.

The cavalry officer drew out his saber and raised his voice, "Don't bully me too much when you conscript the Northern Army! This man is a repeat offender of our army, and I must take him away!".The knights behind the cavalry officer drew their sabers one after another, and the horses scratched their front hooves, as if these cavalrymen were about to launch an attack.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoxiao sneered, raised his right hand and shouted: "Get ready!"

Zheng Beijun smashed the shield, made a loud noise, and then shouted loudly, and the spear was leveled.The North Army is ready to go.

The cavalry officer couldn't help frowning, and many of his soldiers swallowed involuntarily, showing nervous expressions.

"Lieutenant, if there is a conflict with the Northern Army, we may not be able to explain it to the Lord!" A cavalry officer beside the cavalry officer whispered in his ear.

"But if that person is let go, we can't treat the Lord likewise!" The cavalry officer's face showed a dilemma.

"It's better than this, we just get a head and go back to do business!"

The cavalry officer's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "This is a good idea!"

Immediately, the cavalry officer withdrew his saber, cupped his fists and said to the opposite side: "Since the Zhengbei Army wants to take this person, we will sell Zhengbei Army a favor!"

The little principal ignored him at all, and still watched him coldly. All the soldiers stood still, not letting down their vigilance at all because of the other party's words.

The cavalry officer couldn't help cursing inwardly after being bored.Turning the horse's head around, he raised his voice a little angrily, "Let's go back!"

More than a hundred cavalry turned their heads and left in the dust.

A moment later, the sentry on the checkpoint blew the horn, and the melody was different from before, which meant that the other party had gone out of the alert range.

"Captain, that person has passed out!" A soldier came to report.

The captain glanced at the scholar who passed out, and then ordered: "Go back first!"

Hundreds of Beibei troops brought the scholar back to the checkpoint, and then the small school ordered someone to invite the general doctor, and at the same time sent someone to Liu County to report.

The scholar was placed on a low marching couch, and the military doctor immediately rescued him.

After a while, the scholar woke up faintly.

"I, I'm Mi Zhu, hand it over to you, General Zhang Liao." As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his bosom, which was obviously used to hold letters.It turned out that the one who was hunted down by Yuan Shujun was actually Mi Zhu!

As soon as Mi Zhu finished speaking, he fell into a coma again. [

"Military doctor, is he dead?" the little colonel asked anxiously.

The military doctor quickly checked Mi Zhu's breath and pulse, and then replied, "No. He just passed out."

The little colonel nodded, took the wooden box from Mi Zhu, looked at it, frowned slightly, and said to an officer beside him: "You are in charge of this for the time being, and I will take this to Liu County immediately. !"

"Please rest assured, Captain!" the officer clasped his fists and said.

Afterwards, Xiao Xiao took two soldiers and flew towards Liu County.

At noon that day, more than a dozen horses rode from Liuxian to Yanzhou.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

These days, nearly [-] recruits have been sent from Bingzhou to supplement the armies, and Zhang Liao is busy training these recruits.

On this day, Zhang Liao stayed in the barracks for a whole day as usual.

courtyard.This courtyard is not big, with only five entrances, and it is the place where Zhang Liao handles official duties and lives.The luxurious governor's mansion built by Cao Cao was guarded and cleaned, but no one lived in it.As Chen Chu's authority became more and more serious, Zhang Liao became more and more cautious in dealing with others.

As soon as he entered the mansion, an officer greeted him and reported, "General, an urgent report is sent from Liu County!"

"where?"

"The messenger is waiting in the hall. The subordinate was going to the barracks to find the general, but the general came back first!"

Zhang Liao hurried to the hall.When the messenger saw Zhang Liao, he immediately bowed down and said, "The villain is a messenger sent by General Li from Liuxian County. Please refer to the general!"

"Don't be too polite. What happened?"

The messenger untied the cloth bag from his back, took out the wooden box, handed it to Zhang Liao with both hands, and said: "A man named Mi Zhu sent it from Xuzhou with his life, and he gave it to the general by name."

"Mi Zhu!? How is he doing now?"

"He was injured, but he's fine. He should be in Liu County's office at the moment."

Hearing what the messenger said, Zhang Liao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Although Zhang Liao and this Mi Zhu had only met each other a few times, they never met each other.

Zhang Liao opened the wooden box, took out the letter inside, and read it carefully.This letter was written by Tao Qian, and it was not a request for help.

Zhang Liao rolled up the letter and told the officers beside him, "Go and invite the three generals Zhang Jai, Gao Lan, and Gao Shun." "Yes."

Then Zhang Liao said to the messenger: "Go back and tell General Li to take good care of Mi Zhu. If possible, send Mi Zhu to Yanzhou immediately."

"Yes." The messenger clasped his fists in agreement.

Zhang Liao said again: "You rest here tonight, and set off tomorrow morning."! ~!
