"What?" As the soldier's words fell, everyone in the hall showed a look of shock on their faces, as if they never thought that the enemy would appear outside Yinping Pass so quickly.

Zhang Ren also showed a solemn look on his face, looking at the panting soldier, although he was very anxious, he still waited patiently for the other party to take a breath, seeing that this person's breath stabilized, a cold voice sounded in everyone's ears, "How many soldiers and horses is the enemy coming this time?" ”

Li Yi and the others were slightly stunned when they heard this, obviously they didn't understand what the words of the Metropolitan Governor meant, could it be that the enemy attacked Yinping Pass and didn't send all the soldiers and horses, as soon as they thought of this absurd possibility, they were ready to shake their heads, and the next second they thought that the other party was the living Yama King Zhang Ren Metropolitan Governor, if he was caught by this person, he didn't know how to lose his life, isn't Li Yi a living example.

The soldiers didn't expect the Metropolitan Governor to ask such a question, and his brows furrowed slightly at the moment, as if he was thinking about the number of enemies, Zhang Ren didn't mean to bother at all when he saw this, not only was he afraid that the enemy would lead the soldiers and horses to attack the city, but he knew that the old general Yan Yan was outside, and it was impossible for the other party to lead a large group of soldiers and horses to launch a fierce attack on the pass after a long journey.

Time passed minute by minute, and the soldier who was thinking about it finally remembered the number of enemies vaguely observed in his memory, and clapped his hands heavily at the moment, with a look of excitement on his face, "Governor, I remember, the other party has only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this: "Three thousand soldiers and horses? He looked at this man in disbelief, obviously deeply skeptical of his words, knowing that three thousand soldiers and horses might not be able to attack the city without even a single wave, and if they defended the city, it might still be possible.

Seeing the suspicious gaze in everyone's eyes, the soldier suddenly became anxious, and spoke again in an eager tone, "Governor Zhang, what I said is true, the number of enemies is really only three thousand!" Drops of cold sweat dripped down his cheeks quickly, and in a short time the ground was wet.

"That's it! A certain family believes what you say, I am afraid that these 3,000 soldiers and horses are just the vanguard of the enemy, and it will not be long before the large army will arrive, in this case, what are you still doing in a daze, Li quickly went to the city wall to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the town, the rolling stone materials have already been prepared by the old general Yan Yan, and the evening is the time for you to lead the soldiers and horses to rest! Zhang Ren looked at the anxious soldier and slowly spoke to comfort him, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.

After everyone left the hall, they were relieved one by one, the solemn look on their faces finally disappeared, and they were almost out of breath in the face of the coercion of Zhang Rendadu, looking at Li Yi, who had a solemn face, gloating, and walked towards their respective mansions with a heavy heart.

After Zhang Song led Meng Da and others to leave Chengdu, they rushed towards the direction of Xiangyang City in Jingzhou non-stop, not daring to delay at all, for fear that Yizhou would be captured by the troops under Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian too late.

It is said that Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran ordered Li Jian to be the commander, and Li Yuanba led 50,000 soldiers and horses for the general to guard the border line in Guanzhong, and he waited for the arrival of the envoy from Yizhou in Xiangyang City, Jingzhou, hoping for the stars and the moon all day long, but he never waited, and he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart, didn't the other party have any intention of looking for allies?

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came, and I saw Guo Jia Guo Fengkao panting and running in, with a large piece of sweat on his forehead, and a scarlet letterhead in his hand, but it was not the secret report sent by the blood history team, "The lord is happy!" Great joy for the Lord! ”

Zhou Qi Zhou Haoran looked at the other party like this, and when he saw the letterhead in his hand, his eyes burst into a bright light, could it be that ... Before he could speak in a hurry, he heard Guo Jia panting and said, "My lord, according to the secret report sent by the blood history team, Zhang Song, the envoy of Yizhou, will appear in the territory of Xiangyang City in Jingzhou in less than three days, and at the same time, Yan Xing has officially commanded the soldiers and horses under Han Sui to become the actual controller, leading the army to appear in Yinping Pass, presumably it will not be long before an earth-shattering battle will occur!" ”

Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran stood up suddenly, appeared in front of the other party like a gust of wind, stretched out his heavy palm and took the letterhead in his hand and read it at a glance.

"Hahaha! It's really good, a certain family can finally lead the soldiers and horses to Yizhou to cut down the grass and eradicate Zhang Lu, who is like an old fox, to prevent future troubles! Zhou Qi Zhou Haoran looked at the secret report in his hand, and his whole spirit was lifted, thinking that when he was in Jiaozhou, Zhang Lu was like a loach with a slippery hand, and he was able to evade his pursuit every time, how could such an enemy not make people frightened.

"Haoran, since the envoy of Yizhou is about to arrive in Xiangyang City, we should make some preparations, so that we can better take the initiative when negotiating with the other party!" Zhou Yu, who was sitting quietly drinking fragrant tea, spoke slowly.

"Brother, don't worry, the envoy this time is Zhang Song, and I still know a little bit about this person's family, so you can watch my performance when the time comes!" Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran saw that the messengers in the secret report were Zhang Song and Meng Da, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face, as if everything was under control. Passionate about e-books

Zhou Yu looked at his younger brother who looked like this, his brows wrinkled slightly unconsciously, but he didn't persuade again, put the exquisite teacup in his hand into his mouth and took a sip, closed his eyes and savored it.

Guo Jia looked at the appearance of the lord and the eldest prince, as if the second monk was confused and stood stupidly, shouldn't the eldest prince continue to persuade the lord, so that the other party should not be proud and know himself and the other in order to survive a hundred battles.

Zhou Qi didn't care about the reaction of the two of them at all, but repeatedly assured everyone with a confident look, so that everyone dispelled the doubts in their hearts.

With the passage of time, Zhang Song and Meng Da and others finally appeared next to the gate of Xiangyang City after a long journey along the way, looking at the majestic city and involuntarily gasped, looking at the surrounding soldiers who exuded a faint evil aura were all shocked, you must know that these soldiers are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield, and they have become the existence of guarding the city gate.

Although Meng Da had prepared for the worst on the way here, he was not as cautious as other states and counties when he saw the lives of the people living in Jingzhou and the pedestrians who came and went with people outside Xiangyang City.

The guards in front of the city gate, when Zhang Song and Meng Da and the others looked at themselves, they were not looking at each other, but also had earlier known that the envoy of Huiyi Prefecture came to visit the lord, and the general who looked like a school captain walked slowly in the direction of Zhang Song.

Zhang Song showed a different look on his face when he saw the arrival of the school captain, and was about to ask, when he heard the other party's voice already sounding: "May I ask if you are the messenger from Yizhou who came to meet the lord, if so, this will lead you to the city lord's mansion to meet the lord!" ”

"What?" Rao is Meng Da was firm enough, and after hearing the words of the captain, he couldn't help but scream, as if he didn't expect that the other party would know about the existence of his group.

On the contrary, Zhang Song's expression on the side was much more natural, knowing that there must be an intelligence system with amazing strength under the command of the big Han concubine, and knowing that the arrival of his party was a normal thing, "There is Lao, this general, a certain family is under the command of Yizhou Mu, don't drive Zhang Song, this person is General Meng Da, I came to visit the big Han concubine Master Zhou Qi Zhou Haoran!" ”

The lieutenant received the other party's answer, and a faint smile appeared on his face, as if he had known the purpose of his coming, made a gesture of please, turned over and jumped on a majestic war horse, and galloped quickly in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Song watched the other party act like this, with a puzzled look on his face, aren't he afraid of bumping into pedestrians when galloping on the official road like this, but the next second he was surprised again, only to see that the wide official road was full of stalls on both sides, and pedestrians walking on both sides of the official road would not be crowded at all, and the position in the center was only enough to accommodate sixteen war horses to walk at the same time.

At that moment, he raised the horsewhip in his hand and quickly chased after the captain who had turned into a black shadow, for fear of getting lost in the unfamiliar city, leaving a bad impression on Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran, who saw the big man for the first time.

"Hulu Law~" The captain led Zhang Song and others to the door of a gorgeous mansion, only to see a team of elite soldiers guarding the gate tightly, and at the moment of seeing Zhang Song and others, his hands were as fast as lightning on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he looked at each other with a vigilant look.

"Who are you waiting for, this is the mansion of Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran, if there is nothing else, leave quickly!" A family member opened his mouth and gave the order to evict the guest in a cold voice.

"Humph! Zhao Rui, don't you kid want to live anymore, and dare to drive away the lord's distinguished guests, what if the lord knows about you! Zhao Long on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and slowly jumped off the war horse and came to the other party, and slapped his head angrily.

The young man named Zhao Rui saw that the person who came was Zhao Long, instead of being angry, he showed a smirk, and was about to open his mouth when he felt the sound of dense footsteps in the mansion behind him, only to see that the first person was wearing a black robe, a long snow-white hair dancing in the wind, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall nose bridge, and thin lips filled with a hint of evil smile.

When Zhang Song saw the comer, he hurriedly jumped off the war horse, knelt down on one knee with his hands in fists, and said, "A certain family has seen a big man and a horse!" ”... to be continued
