Soldiers come to the world

Encountered by Jiang Xia's army, Cao Jun's vanguard was forced to retreat several miles, and Jiang Xia's army quickly withdrew. , How many troops are there? Both Liu Bei and Zhao Yun have been rescued by Jiang Xia's army."

Cao Cao was startled and suspicious, Jiang Xia's army appeared unexpectedly. After a little thought, he understood that this must be the army from Jingling County.

At this time, Xu Huang came galloping on horseback, and immediately reported loudly: "Prime Minister, Liu Jing personally led an army to intercept it. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people. Now they have retreated to the east. May I ask Prime Minister, do we want to pursue?"

Cao Cao glanced back at Cheng Yu, "What does Zhongde mean?"

Cheng Yu pondered for a while and said: "Jingling County is close to the Han River, so Liu Bei must have been sent to the big ship. We are not familiar with the terrain in this area, and there are many water marshes. If we rush to pursue it, once we fall into an ambush, the gain will not be worth the loss."

Cao Cao was quite afraid of Liu Jing, so he didn't dare to rush after him, so he nodded, "Zhongde is right, taking Jiangling is the most important strategy."

He immediately ordered to Xu Huang: "Since Jiangxia's army has retreated, let's ignore it for the time being, and order the vanguard to turn around and go south to occupy Jiangling!"

Only a quarter of an hour later, the [-] Cao troops turned around and marched towards Jiangling City in a mighty manner.

. . . . . . . . .

In the Jingling County military camp, Jiang Xia's army had already withdrawn. Liu Jing was pacing back and forth in front of a large tent with his hands behind his back. Zhao Yun was seriously injured and bled profusely. die easily.

But concern is chaotic, there is no definite news, Liu Jing's heart is always hanging in his throat.

At this time, the military doctor came out and said with a smile to Liu Jing: "The life-saving pills prepared by Taishou Zhang are indeed miraculous. General Zhao is already fast asleep, his complexion has begun to turn, and his breathing is smooth. He should be fine."

Liu Jing heaved a long sigh of relief, and asked again: "Then will his injury have any effect?"

Zhao Yun was hit with two knives and one gun, both on the back and one on the leg. Liu Jing was a little worried about whether his martial arts would be affected. It will be cured in two months, please don't worry, Zhou Mu!"

Liu Jing lifted the curtain and looked inside the tent, only to see Zhao Yun was sleeping deeply with his back turned inward, he could faintly hear his low snoring, Liu Jing finally let go of his heart, and told the military doctor: "You must be ready at any time." Observe the changes in his injury, and report to me immediately if there is any situation."

"Don't worry, State Shepherd, I will go all out."

Liu Jing then left Zhao Yun's sleeping tent and returned to his own tent. At this time, a soldier came to report, "Sun Quan sent an envoy to see you outside the tent."

Liu Jing was startled, Sun Quan actually sent an envoy, and he walked out of the camp with dozens of soldiers, only to see a scribe standing at the gate of the camp, it was Lu Ji whom he had seen back then, and ten people followed behind him. Several Jiangdong soldiers.

Liu Jing laughed, "So it's Brother Gongji, we haven't seen each other for many years."

Lu Ji was captured by Cai Mao back then and suffered a lot. Although he was released back to Jiangdong, one leg was left disabled and he walked with a limp, which became his lifelong hatred.

Lu Ji quickly stepped forward and bowed, "I am here to see Zhou Mu by order of Marquis Wu."

"Brother Gongji, please enter the camp and talk!"

Liu Jing invited Lu Ji into his big tent and ordered the soldiers to serve tea. The two sat down as guests and hosts. Liu Jing then asked, "Where is Marquis Wu now?"

"When I got off the boat, Marquis Wu's boat had already arrived in Chaisang, and it is estimated that he has already arrived in Qichun County."

Speaking of this, Lu Ji lowered his voice and said, "It is rumored that Zhou Dudu and General Cheng Pu are at odds. Marquis Wu is worried that internal conflicts will intensify and affect the plan to fight Cao, so he came to Qichun County to deal with this matter."

Liu Jing also knew that Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were at odds, but this kind of matter can be resolved with a single order. Is it necessary to make a special trip?Maybe Sun Quan just stopped by to boost morale, it is also very possible.

"Does Marquis Wu have a letter for me?"

Lu Ji smiled and said, "The Marquis of Wu just asked me to convey a message, asking Zhou Mu to go to Qichun to meet and discuss the plan to fight Cao."

Liu Jing smiled and nodded, "Since Marquis Wu sincerely invites me, I will naturally go."

At this time, Lu Ji asked cautiously: "I heard that the main force of Cao's army went to Jiangling on the way. I wonder how Uncle Liu is doing now?"

At this time, Liu Jing suddenly realized that the reason why Lu Ji appeared in Jingling County was not to find him. He was actually going to Jiangling, but he happened to meet him in Jingling County. No wonder he didn't have a letter from Sun Quan.

It's not that Sun Quan ignored him, but that Lu Ji's mission was to go to Jiangling, and someone else should have sent him a letter in Wuchang.

Liu Jing smiled faintly, "Uncle Liu Huang is here with me, if Brother Gong Ji wants to see him, I can invite him here!"

He immediately ordered the soldiers at the door of the tent, "Go and invite Uncle Liu Huang!"

Lu Ji was taken aback. It turned out that Liu Bei was here. He secretly regretted that he had a letter written by Sun Quan to Liu Bei on him. How could he give it to Liu Bei?Lu Ji was at a loss for what to do.

After a while, Liu Bei was invited into the big tent. He was very depressed. He had just received the news from the fleeing soldiers that Pang Ji and Wang Jie had surrendered the city to Cao Jun, and his wife and children fell into the hands of Cao Jun.

This dealt a heavy blow to Liu Bei. He had only had one son when he was over half a hundred years old. Now that his son fell into the hands of Cao Jun, he felt that all hope was lost.

When Liu Bei entered the account, Lu Ji hurriedly got up to greet him. Liu Jing introduced him: "This is the envoy sent by Marquis Wu. He came from Chaisang and was going to Jiangling to visit the emperor's uncle. Unexpectedly, something happened, so Jingling County was suspended. .”

Liu Jing did not embarrass Lu Ji, and told Liu Bei frankly that the envoy of Sun Quan was looking for him, not himself.

Lu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but secretly thanked Liu Jing, and blushed for a while. It turned out that Liu Jing had seen through him, so he had no choice but to pretend to be stupid, and quickly stepped forward to salute, "In Xiawu County, Lu Gongji, see the emperor's uncle!"

Liu Bei managed to cheer up and said with a smile, "I have met your father before, and your father's character and literary talent are respectable, and your nephew is a man of talent, and he has quite the look of your father."

Lu Ji's father, Lu Kang, was originally the prefect of Lujiang. He had a lot of contacts and had contacts with Liu Bei. Lu Ji said modestly: "The emperor's uncle is too famous, and my nephew is far from my father. I have self-knowledge."

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, they sat down. Liu Bei first asked Liu Jing, "I wonder if there is any news about Yun Chang from Zhou Mu?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "I don't know for now, I have sent scouts to find out the news, if there is any news, I will tell the emperor immediately."

"Thank you, nephew."

Liu Bei thought that he believed Pang Ji and Wang Jie's words because of his confusion for a while, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed. Pang Ji and Wang Jie just supported Liu Qi, not Liu Bei, and he regarded them as his confidantes. wisdom.

Liu Bei sighed inwardly, and asked Lu Ji again, "Your nephew came from the east, did you meet my military adviser?"

Lu Ji sneaked another glance at Liu Jing, seeing him drinking tea, his expression was indifferent, as if his business had nothing to do with him, although it was difficult to speak, but he had to say something.

He took out Sun Quan's letter and presented it to Liu Bei, and said, "Mr. Zhuge is now on Marquis Wu's boat. Marquis Wu ordered me to meet the emperor's uncle. I hope that the emperor's uncle can go to Qichun County to meet and discuss the plan to fight Cao."

Liu Bei read the letter again, and Sun Quan's meaning in the letter was already very obvious. He wanted to become the leader of the three anti-Cao alliances, so he invited Liu Bei to Qichun County.

Liu Bei is well versed in the ways of the world, so how could he not understand what Sun Quan meant? Of course he also supports Sun Quan as the leader, but he is now in Liu Jing's territory, so he has to give Liu Jing this face.

Liu Bei sighed, "Thank you Marquis Wu for your kind invitation. It's just that Jiangling has undergone major changes, and Beizhi's subordinates have been torn apart. The top priority is to integrate the team. For the time being, Mr. Kong Ming will be the plenipotentiary representative of Qichun."

Liu Bei is telling the truth, Guan Yu's whereabouts are unknown, Jiangling has already crossed [-] troops, led by Sun Qian and Mi Fang, he is very worried that these two people will not be able to control the army, so he is in a hurry to cross the river now, it is him last capital.

Lu Ji understood Liu Bei's difficulties, Jiangling had undergone great changes, and he was eager to go back and report to the lord, and after saying a few more words, he got up and left.

Liu Jing and Liu Bei sent Lu Ji out of the barracks, and Liu Jing ordered a ship to take Lu Ji back to Qichun County directly from Hanshui.

But just after Lu Ji left, the news of Guan Yu finally came.

Guan Yu failed to rescue Jiangling, and led his army to retreat to Yidu County to join Jian Yong. The news made Liu Bei overjoyed. Without further delay, he immediately set off with Zhang Fei and Guan Ping overnight to Yidu County to join Guan Yu. You can cross the river from Yidu and turn to Wuling County.

In the night, Liu Jing came to Zhao Yun's big tent. Zhao Yun had already woken up, sitting alone on a stone in front of the big tent, staring blankly at the northern sky.

Liu Jing didn't dare to disturb him, and stood not far behind him, quietly looking at Zhao Yun's lonely back. Zhao Yun is already 38 years old, still has no wife and no children, and is alone. It makes me sad to think about it.

"Has he left already?" Zhao Yun asked in a low voice without turning his head.

Liu Jing nodded silently, "They left half an hour ago."

"Didn't you leave anything for me?" Zhao Yun asked again.

Liu Jing couldn't bear it, so she walked forward slowly and said, "Uncle Huang, please let me tell you so that you can recover from your injuries and don't worry about him."

"is it?"

Zhao Yun shook his head, "You don't need to comfort me, I understand in my heart, even Yide and Guan Gongzi can't come to see me, how could he let you tell me."

Liu Jing was silent. Although Liu Bei agreed to give up Zhao Yun, he should at least show a little gratitude on the surface, and let Zhang Fei or Guan Ping do it for him. After all, Zhao Yun rescued him in the army of ten thousand horses.

But Liu Bei categorically ignored it. From this, it can also be seen that Liu Bei's hatred for Zhao Yun in his heart cannot be explained by reaching an agreement with himself.

Zhao Yun smiled miserably, "I came here to save him at all costs, and escaped death, but he was so indifferent, it made people feel extremely chilling, it would be better to die on the battlefield."

Liu Jing patted Zhao Yun's shoulder lightly, and said softly: "A man just wants to have a clear conscience. You have done all your benevolence and righteousness. Don't worry about other things. Just rest in peace."

"you're right!"

Zhao Yunqiang made a smile and said: "A real man only wants to have a clear conscience, and I have a clear conscience for him, so why should I care how he treats me?"

Even though he said this, tears welled up from Zhao Yun's eyes again.
