Dong Jun took Wen Yu to attack overnight, and there were hundreds of elite soldiers chasing and killing along the way, and when he fled to Antelope City, he was already scarred, and after being discovered by the soldiers defending the city, he hurriedly took the two to the barracks and called Lang Zhong for treatment.

Dong Jun woke up a little faster, Wen Yu was still in a coma, Dong Jun woke up and was anxious to see Cui Zheng, but he didn't expect Cui Zheng to be in the barracks at the moment, and after some inquiry, he knew that Cui Zheng had gone to see Youzhou Mu Lu Ji, who had just been in office for more than half a year.

Cui Zheng was alone with an urgent letter from Lai'an City today, after opening it and reading it, he thought about it for a long time, and still came here, Cui Zheng himself didn't know if this decision was right, but the border crisis couldn't help him think about it, this step was something he had to take, and he just happened to take this opportunity to come and meet for a while what the person who had been guarding the emperor was.

Cui Zheng came to the front of the mansion, stopped and stared at the word Lu Fu on the plaque, his heart throbbed for no reason, shook his head and settled down, and walked in.

When passing by the guards he had placed here, Cui Zheng asked all the guards he had arranged here to retreat.

"Master Cui arrived, and he missed the distance, no wonder." Lu Ji held back his anger and smiled all over his face.

"I don't like to go around in circles, I can't learn the pretense of civil officials, let alone learn it, so I'll just say it straight to the point, you just listen." Choi Jeong-jeong sat down in a chair and placed the letter on the table next to him.

"Okay, then the lord said, I'll listen." Lu Ji waited for Cui Zheng to sit down before he sat down.

"The Yumen Pass was broken, and the Northern Barbarians estimated that they were rectifying their soldiers and horses at this time, and they were reporting that the Northern Barbarians at all the passes in the North were rushing to the Yumen Pass, and it wouldn't be long before there would be no less than a million Northern Barbarians outside Antelope City."

"As for how long this Antelope City can be held, I don't know, after your father knows the news, send me a letter urgently, you can take a look." Cui Zheng picked up the letter on the table and handed it to Lu Ji, who stood up and walked over to take the letter and read it.

Cui Zheng continued: "Your father wants to exchange 10,000 Praetorian Guards plus my hundreds of Dragon Guards for you back, I agreed, of course, not the 10,000 Janissaries, but my four or five hundred Dragon Guards, and from now on you will be free." ”

Lu Ji finished reading the letter, and he was not too happy after listening to it, because he heard the news that he was most unwilling to hear, that is, Beiban broke through the Jade Gate Pass.

"The Jade Gate Pass is the first pass in the world, and it was broken so easily?" Lu Ji was unbelievable.

Cui Zheng was surprised: "You still care about this? ”

"What are these words, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, naturally for the good of Zhao Guo."

"I thought that all you wanted was to exclude dissidents, and you would only be in the nest!"

"That's someone else! It's not me! Although I, Lu Ji, have dreamed of the throne, my long-cherished wish in my heart will always be one, to destroy the Northern Barbarians! Lu Ji was righteous.

"Then I hope you can always remember this sentence, even if we all die in Antelope City, at least there are still people who remember to destroy the Northern Barbarians." Cui Zheng said that, stood up and prepared to resign.

Lu Ji stepped forward to stop Cui Zheng, and then he was deeply moved, and after finishing, he said: "I know that you look down on me in your heart, but I still want to say that I hate the Northern Barbarians to the core, if the general sacrifices himself under the iron hooves of the Northern Barbarians in order to defend the Zhao State, he will definitely avenge the general!" ”

Cui Zheng smiled and didn't speak, raised his hand and patted Lu Ji's shoulder, and left the Lu Mansion.

After Lu Ji waited for Cui Zheng to leave, he sent someone to find Lu Bo and inform him of the incident.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Bo asked.

"Anyway, let's go back to Lai'an City first, let's wait until we get to Lai'an City, you go and find Tang Xian, let him take the soldiers we brought, and set off tomorrow, be sure to arrive at Lai'an City in the shortest possible time, now find someone to take the first step, order the post stations along the way to prepare horses, and don't rest if you can on the road."

"Okay, then I'll do it now." Lu Bo received the order and immediately went to do it.

After Cui Zheng returned to the barracks, he was told that General Wen Yu and General Dong Jun had returned safely, and Cui Zheng walked into the big tent without stopping.

Seeing Dong Jun, who had woken up, and Wen Yu, who was unconscious, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Cui Zheng said.

"Lao Cui, Yumen Pass... Dong Jun lowered his head in annoyance.

Cui Zheng comforted: "If it's gone, it's gone, if we have a chance in the future, we will get it back, and the person will be fine." ”

"If it weren't for the conspiracy, how could it be like this!" Dong Jun said angrily.

"Who would have thought that someone in Zhao Kingdom would have fornicated with the Northern Barbarians, it is shameless!" Cui Zheng replied.

"It just so happens that I'm here to say goodbye to you this time, I'm going to Qingzhou, and I'll leave after a few days of rest."

"Since you insist on leaving, I won't force you to stay, when to leave, let's drink again." Cui Zheng proposed.

"Don't worry, I'll be there for a drink." Dong Jun said with a smile.

"Is Wen Yu seriously injured?" Cui Zheng asked.

"Alas, I blocked two arrows for me, this kid's life is hard, the doctor said it's no big deal, just rest for a while." Dong Jun sighed, "I wanted to save him, but I didn't expect to almost fold myself in it, I haven't practiced for many years, and my body can't keep up." ”

Cui Zheng said with a smile: "When I brought this kid out of the village, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he rushed into the enemy camp single-handedly, killed dozens of Northern Barbarians, burned the grain and grass of the Northern Barbarians, and returned him intact. ”

"This kid was really scary more than ten days ago, he killed nearly a thousand people that night when the Yumen Pass was broken." Dong Jun is still amazed when he thinks about it.

"Of course, I trained him as a successor, otherwise when the emperor was rewarding meritorious deeds, I didn't say anything when you were an official, so I just kept him." Choi Jung's face was full of pride.

"Let's think about how to defend Antelope City, Wen Yu and I saw a lot of Beiban figures along the way when we were on the run." Dong Jun worried.

"You get out of here after resting, take Wen Yu with you, you can go anywhere, just don't stay here." Cui Zheng scolded.

Dong Jun said solemnly: "Think about it, really don't you want to go?" ”

"The first emperor has gone, and I can't live alone in the world, thirty years ago, I was criticized by the family, left the family alone, met the first emperor, followed so far, and has long been put aside from life and death."

"Okay, I'll take Wen Yu away, but I'm afraid he won't want to go."

"When the time comes, knock it out with a stick and throw it into a sack." Cui Zheng smiled with a big hand.

"You have a good rest, and say it before you go."

"Okay."

On the second day, Lu Ji left a letter and sent it to Cui Zheng, and he left Youzhou with Lu Bo and Tang Xian plus a thousand light horsemen and headed south.
