Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 388 Runan Changes Master
After Liu Qi led the army from Yizhou to Jingzhou.

Then he issued an imperial edict against Yuan Shao and Liu Bei to the world, which also caused many changes.

But neither Yuan Shao nor Liu Bei responded. After all, they both knew what was going on, and there was no need to respond. They just dispatched troops silently.

Liu Qi divided his troops from Jingzhou City into two groups.

A total of 15 people, led by Liu Qi and Ma Chao as the vanguard, marched from Nanyang to Dongjun via Xuchang to attack Yuan Shao.

Along the way, with Zhao Yun as the commander-in-chief, more than [-] troops came out from Xinye, via Runan, and went to Qiao County to attack Liu Bei.

however.

The world is unexpected.

It was Lu Bu who originally occupied Runan, but he was no longer in Runan, and even the soldiers and horses under his command were nowhere to be found.

When Zhao Yun led his soldiers and horses to Runan.

Runan also hung up black flags, and only then did people in the world know that Runan had been placed under Liu Qi's rule at some point.

This is obviously not a matter of a day or two.

Moreover, since Lu Bu occupied Runan, no matter what changes happened in the world, he just stayed in Runan safely and remained unmoved.

The last time he made a move was when Liu Bei wanted to use his army to borrow Runan, so he sent troops to stop Liu Bei's troops.

now.

However, Lu Bu and the tens of thousands of Bingzhou wolf riders under his command disappeared together.

The transfer of so many soldiers did not attract any attention at all. Until now, people in the world discovered that Runan had fallen into Liu Qi's hands.

With so many reports, it is not even clear when Lu Bu led his troops and horses to leave.

but.

Because of this, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others also understood that Lu Bu and Liu Qi had been in contact early on, but they didn't know it.

At the beginning, when Yuan Shu, who claimed to be emperor, was crusaded against, and then Lv Bu was allowed to occupy Runan, Liu Qi had already got involved with Lv Bu.

I also understand why Lu Bu sent troops to intercept Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, preventing Liu Bei's soldiers and horses from entering Jingzhou, and Lu Bu did not take the opportunity to attack Jingzhou.

If Lu Bu sent troops to Jingzhou at the beginning, or let Liu Bei's troops enter Jingzhou.

Then everything might be different now.

Before, I always thought that Lu Bu had no ambitions and just wanted to stick to one side. Considering Lu Bu's strength and Lu Bu's lack of dominance, he had no intention of provoking Lu Bu.

After all, if you are not careful in fighting with Lu Bu, you will be in trouble. There are still tens of thousands of brave and skilled Bingzhou Wolf Riders, and there are also two generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun under his command, and Chen Gong is a counselor.

If you can't win in one fell swoop, you will lose both sides in the fight, and it will be easier for others.

And now it seems.

It's not that Lu Bu didn't move, but that he has always planned, but it's different.

However, it was a bit late to understand.

The only lucky one.

That is, Lu Bu did not join Liu Qi's camp, it should be a cooperative relationship.

Otherwise, Lu Bu would not have secretly left Runan and handed Runan into Liu Qi's hands, but stayed in Runan, waiting for Zhao Yun to lead [-] troops to arrive, and then united to attack Liu Bei.

but.

People all over the world are also wondering.

That's where Lu Bu led tens of thousands of Bingzhou wolf riders.

In the city of Runan.

When Zhao Yun led more than [-] soldiers and horses to arrive, the defenders of Runan also took down the flag of Lu Bu hanging on the city wall and replaced it with a black flag.

Open the city gate and welcome Zhao Yun into the city.

In the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Yun sits on the main seat, and Kuai Liang sits in the first position below Zhao Yun's left hand.

Officials from the original Runan also sat among them.

"General Zhao, Runan is now under our control. There are 3000 guards in total. Marquis Lu Wen also left secretly with all the Bingzhou soldiers!" An official stood up and reported.

Zhao Yun nodded, he was also very clear about this matter.

The officials here were also dispatched by Liu Qi to take over, so there was no question of disloyalty.

"Nowadays everyone in the world is speculating about the relationship between the lord and Lu Wenhou, and where Lu Wenhou went!" Kuai Liang also laughed.

heard.

Zhao Yun also smiled slightly and said, "This is also because Marquis Lu Wen didn't have the intention to dominate, and the lord occupies the land of the Southern Man, so Marquis Lu Wen agreed to come down. Liu Bei thought that our army would be stopped by Marquis Lu Wen from outside Runan, and it was not right. It's possible!"

If Liu Qi and Lu Bu had not united early in the morning, if they wanted to attack Liu Bei, they would have to enter Lu Bu's territory. If Lu Bu refused to borrow the way, they would have to fight.

As for the detour, that is even more impossible.

The other side is Sun Quan's territory.

And the place where Lu Bu is now is also the land of the Nanman.

After the armistice, moved to Chengdu.

Liu Qi has always been prepared, one time secretly took Dian Wei and two people away and rushed to Runan, but the spies of the other kings did not discover it.

After Liu Qi and Dian Wei came back from Runan.

So they began to arrange for Lu Bu to lead the Bingzhou wolf riders to leave Runan, and their people took over the affairs of Runan.

little by little.

If more than a hundred people disappear every day, they will not attract any attention if they are replaced.

Moreover, Lu Bu also lived in seclusion, and leaving would not cause any changes. .

that's it.

It also completed the strategy of stealing the sky and changing the sun, and secretly took over Runan without attracting the attention of the other kings.

At this moment, he announced to the world the occupation of Runan, and he was able to directly send troops to attack Liu Bei.

"I'm really envious of expanding the territory!" Zhao Yun finally sighed.

Kuai Liang on the side didn't know what Zhao Yun was thinking. It should be said that many generals were envious, so he said with a smile: "General Zhao, why bother, as long as he assists the Lord to settle the Central Plains, why don't we have such day!"

Zhao Yun just smiled, after all, he also knew that it was impossible now, and they were different from Lu Bu in that they could give up everything.

That is different.

Immediately, he scanned the crowd and said solemnly: "Today, I will rest here for a day, and tomorrow I will continue to march and rush to Qiao County!"

He didn't forget his mission, even if he couldn't take Qiao County, he still had to prevent Liu Bei from attacking Youzhou with all his strength, and joined forces with Cao Cao to quickly take Youzhou.

Of course, it was not to support Youzhou, but just to allow Liu Qi to lead the army to take the land of Jizhou.

That's what he needs to do.

"promise!"

The people did not have any opinion on this.

Moreover, the officials in Runan will not go out with the army, their task is only to manage Runan.

Crusade against Liu Bei.

It's still about Zhao Yun, Kuai Liang, and more than [-] soldiers.

Staying in Runan for a day is just doing some rest.
