After dawn, the morning sun is like a rainbow.

A ray of golden light was reflected in the small rural city of Deng County, and the streets and alleys of the city, the wealthy families, and the peddlers and pawns all knew that the city had changed hands overnight last night.

The pastoral scene is stepping on the sun.

On the street where the city gate enters, there are many figures on the left and right, and countless eyes are looking at the city gate, waiting for the figure of Mu Jing, as if welcoming the herdsman army into the city.

"You arranged it?"

Mu Jing walked in step by step, after crossing the city gate, he looked around the street, looked at these people, and frowned slightly.

In the eyes of many people in Jingzhou, they are invaders, just look at Fancheng, the whole city resists, he doesn't believe that the people of Deng County will welcome him from the heart.

"It's not!"

Huang Zhong shook his head: "It was arranged by those families in the city!" ”

This is really not arranged by Huang Zhong and them.

It was arranged by a few big families in the city.

At this time, if they don't show it, they are afraid that Mu Jing will kill on a large scale, in this world, the soldier is the king, and now the herdsman army has entered the city, and the herdsman army is the king, and the family is exterminated, but it is just an order.

"Old Deng Kuang, meet Lord Minghou!"

An old man in his sixties, representing the squire of Deng County, stood in the middle of the street and bowed his head to greet him.

"It's a local legend!"

Huo Yu whispered beside him: "He is also the patriarch of the Deng family!" ”

In any place, there will always be a few respected elders, or they are known for their knowledge, or they may be virtuous, so that the local scholars and people can love and support them.

"Deng Lao is polite!"

Mu Jing below, personally greeted him, he still has a lot of respect for these elders, people who can enjoy a reputation on one side, not a big traitor, will be a great good, and they are all popular on the bright side: "Deng Lao is an elder, Jing is also a junior, how can he bother Deng Lao's frame, this is a bad scene!" ”

"Although Lord Minghou is young, he is indeed a hero in the world, the town court is in the four fields, and the people are in the four directions.

Deng Kuang is the face of the Deng family, he is gray-haired, not shallow in learning, not only the Deng family, but also the entire Deng County, is also famous, he can personally come to welcome the pastoral scene, because the Deng family made a choice, so I hope to completely get on the thief ship of the Ming Hou Mansion.

"The old man is so praised, Jing doesn't dare to take it!"

Mu Jing hurriedly returned the salute.

"Lord Minghou is coming from a long distance, he must be tired, we have prepared a banquet in the city, and please Lord Minghou to appreciate his face!" Deng Kuang sent out an invitation.

The eyes behind him also looked at Mu Jing.

This is their kindness.

It depends on whether Mu Jing accepts it or not.

"That's disrespectful!"

Mu Jing smiled and responded.

Although Deng Zhi successfully persuaded the Deng clan to open the city gate to welcome the herdsmen into the city, nine times out of ten the uneasy people in the city, he also needed to show his generosity.

The feast lasted for a day, and in the end it was a joy for the guests and the hosts.

Evening.

Mu Jingcai returned to the barracks outside the city, with the smell of wine.

"Go take a shower now!" Zhang Ning had already arranged the bath bucket, pinched his nose, and said proudly.

Mu Jing didn't dare to say anything, so he obediently went to the back camp to wash and scrub up.

Took a shower and refreshed a lot.

He was dressed in a loose robe.

The hair fell naturally and was already over the shoulders.

In these years, the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it can never move without cutting it, even if they have no choice but to cut their hair, it depends on the day, and long hair is a very troublesome thing.

Sometimes he just wants to cut a small flat head, which is comfortable.

But he didn't dare.

People can't be incompatible with the environment, just like an ancient person suddenly appeared in modern society, it will appear that the golden rooster is independent, and eighty or ninety percent are either crazy or stupid.

"Lord, the army is back!"

Huo Yu came in to report.

"Let them in!" Mu Jingpan sat on it, and Zhang Ning knelt behind, making his hair loose for him.

"Meet the Lord!"

Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang entered together.

"Let's talk about the results directly!"

"Captured 2,000 enemies, killed 1,000 enemies, and the main general Zhang Hu led more than 2,000 remnants of the army and escaped from the battlefield!" Zhou Cang replied.

"Zhang Hu escaped?"

Mu Jing squinted: "This guy is so vigilant!" ”

"He reacts quickly, if he breaks through half an hour later, our army will be able to completely plug the gap, and he will inevitably become a turtle in the urn!" Zhang Liao said with some regret.

"Things can't be too perfect!" Mu Jing shook his head: "What about the casualties of our army?" ”

"An easy war, with negligible casualties!"

Zhou Cang arched his hand and said: "There is only one mountain peak more than ten miles outside the eastern suburbs of the city, which was held back by their broken people for a while, and twelve soldiers were killed in battle, and more than 100 people were in their hands!" ”

"Wounded soldiers, good lives and comfort, martyrs who died in battle, and the bones must also be placed!"

Mu Jing instructed.

"Yes!"

Zhou Cang nodded.

"Jingping's First Army has arrived in Fancheng, and starting tomorrow, the commanders of your three armies will begin to join forces to lay out the strategy of attacking Xiangyang!" Mu Jing's eyes were long: "This battle of Xiangyang, don't be careless, this must be a bloody battle, the Jingzhou army will fight desperately with us, and we have no way back, we can only move forward!" ”

"No!"

Zhou Cang and Zhang Liao surrendered their orders.

"Where is Deng Zhi!" Mu Jing suddenly screamed.

"In!"

Deng Zhi has been waiting outside the camp.

He has made great contributions, but he does not dare to be arrogant, this credit, in the pastoral army, is really nothing, Deng County is just a small city, if it is not for the city wall, I am afraid it can only be regarded as a small town, compared to Fancheng These big cities, far from it, and he is only leading, not the main attack.

"If you want to march and fight, you have to follow the rules!"

Mu Jing looked at the young man and said: "The rules you set up in this battle, I will make an exception for you, specially recruit you to join the army, register on the roster, and join the army. ”

"Thank you for your appreciation, Zhi is determined to die for the lord!"

Deng Zhi said excitedly.

Modao Battalion, Guards Battalion, a battalion of only 800 soldiers, all of them are elite, the position of the military marquis, can be hot, before he heard Zhang Liao complain, sent a few masters, even the position of the military marquis can not be obtained.

……

Xiangyang City.

Now it is spring ploughing, and the attention of the state pastoral government is focused on spring ploughing, but the thought calm is broken by a thunderstorm.

"Lord, Deng County is lost!"

"What?"

Liu Biao was furious: "It's only been a few days, how can it be!" ”

He was ready to lose Deng County.

Fancheng can be a strong gate, and the enemy is outside.

But Fancheng has been lost, the next terrain is like a flat river, Deng County has no danger to defend at all, just with Zhang Hu's soldiers and horses, it must be impossible to hold, but he can't imagine that it will be lost in just a few days.

This was unexpected, and it also suppressed the time for him to deploy his troops and horses.

"Where's Zhang Hu?"

Liu Biao shouted: "Did he join the pastoral army?" ”

"Captain Zhang Hu escaped from the siege with the remnants of the army, and now he is resting in the mountain pavilion thirty miles on the outskirts of the city!"

"Let him come to me at once!"

Liu Biao said coldly.

Soon Zhang Hu arrived.

He bowed his head, his face expressionless, and bowed: "Sin General Zhang Hu, meet the lord!" ”

"Zhang Hu, I asked myself if I treated you well, why did you hurt me so much!"

Liu Biao stared at Zhang Hu, his eyes were a little cold, and the killing intent was faintly condensed, and his gloomy voice was like an ice cellar for ten thousand years.

"The sin will be unfavorable to defend the city, please punish the lord!" Zhang Hu had communicated with Wen Ping before he came, and directly admitting guilt was the best way.

"Reprimand?"

Liu Biao's cold face carried a hint of murderous intent: "You lose my Fancheng first, and then lose my Dengxian, if you are guilty of this crime, you should be punished!" ”

"Lord, please stop your anger!"

At this time, Kuai Liang stood up and spoke: "It's better to ask first, how did Deng County lose it!" ”

Kuai Liang calmed Liu Biao's anger, and asked Zhang Hu in a harmonious voice: "Captain Zhang, I don't know the battle of Deng County, for this reason, with Captain Zhang's ability, even if he is not defeated by the strength of the pastoral army, he can't lose Deng County in just a few days!" ”

"Not for days, but overnight ......"

Zhang Hu bitterly told the story before and after the battle, and then arched his hand and said: "It's the tiger's carelessness, he didn't prevent the Deng clan in the city, which caused Deng County to change hands, this crime Tiger does not dare to shirk, please punish the lord!" ”

"Deng!"

Liu Biao's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he looked at Zhang Hu fiercely: "You say this, but seriously, if you have half a lie, I will kill you immediately!" ”

"Lord, although the sin will abandon the city and the land, he will never dare to lie on top of it!"

Zhang Hu said in a deep voice.

"Lord, this battle is not a crime, although Captain Zhang Hu has done it, but this is the time to employ people, please think twice!" Kuai Liang believed what Zhang Hu said, it is not difficult to inquire about this matter, Zhang Hu said that it was true or false, and there would be news soon.

"Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped!"

Liu Biao glanced at Zhang Hu in disgust, and after half a sound, he said: "Pull out and fight the Thirty Army Battle!" ”

"Yes!"

The left and right executioners came up and pulled Zhang Hu out to fight the 30th Army Battle.

"Lord, Deng County has been lost, and the soldiers are coming to the city!"

Kuai Liang arched his hand and said, "We have already prepared!" ”

"They're coming so fast, in that case, let's fight!"

Liu Biao's eyes flashed with a glint of essence: "Order Huang Zu and let him lead the army into Xiangyang!" ”
