Although there was no name of Liu De on the edict, it did not prevent the officials from asking around, so Liu De's name was also introduced to the ears of everyone, in addition to Liu De, of course, there were also generals under him, especially Guan Yu, who was more well-known to everyone.

Danzhou Chen Liunai is the Li family's own land, and the officials of Cao Sui's faction basically can't gain a foothold in Chen Liu, so when they heard the news of Cao Sui's killing, although everyone was amazed, they were not greatly affected.

"Since you are General Anbei, then you should go to Xicheng with me!" Captain Zheng returned to his majesty as a superior officer and spoke to everyone.

"Yes!"

......

Zheng Duwei lay on the city wall and saw Dai Zong, who had been waiting below, and said to the guard: "Put down the drawbridge and let him in!" ”

Dai Zong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the drawbridge was lowered, rubbed his arms, which were a little tired from lifting the seal for a long time, and then entered the city. Then, the drawbridge was slowly pulled up again.

When Dai Zong was led up to the city wall by the soldiers, he saw Zheng Junwei and others on the city wall, Zheng Junwei said: "I am Chen Liujun Lieutenant [Zheng Longjiang], since you claim to be under the command of General Anbei, do you have a certificate?" ”

Dai Zong held the seal in both hands and handed it to Zheng Longjiang for inspection, Zheng Longjiang took it and looked at it, and then handed it to Nie Jing who was standing behind, Nie Jing carefully identified it, and then said to Zheng Longjiang: "County Captain, this is indeed the seal of General Anbei." ”

"In that case, put down the drawbridge to welcome General Anbei into the city!" Zheng Longjiang commanded.

When Liu De and the others entered the city, Zheng Longjiang took Chen Liucheng and a group of officials to greet him, and Zheng Longjiang arched his hand and said: "The last general Chen Liujun guards Zheng Longjiang, see General Anbei!" ”

"See General Anbei!" The rest of the officials also responded one after another.

General Anbei is a fourth-rank general, and the county lieutenant is only a sixth-rank official, so although Liu De does not have any right to govern Zheng Longjiang and others, it does not prevent Liu De from accepting Chen Liu's officials as a superior.

Another point is that Liu De's prestige for killing Cao Sui is still there, and everyone has heard of Liu De's great military exploits in Dongyu, so it is normal for everyone to be respectful, of course, if the person who comes has a higher official position, but does not have any rights, Zheng Longjiang only sent a small official over, and that person has no way at all.

Liu De and the generals turned over and dismounted, and they also bowed in return, Zheng Longjiang said: "Please also ask General Anbei to go to the palace with us!" ”

"That's great!" Liu Dedao.

"Please!" Zheng Longjiang stretched out his hand and gestured.

......

When everyone sat down in a side hall of the mansion, the officials stepped forward to put tea for everyone, Liu De had a little rest, looked around at Chen Liu, and said the questions that existed along the way: "Dare to be the captain of Zheng County, where is Lord Taishou?" ”

"Ahem!"

Zheng Longjiang coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and said to Liu De: "I hope the general will forgive, it's really not that Lord Taishou is disrespectful to the general, it's just because a certain Lord Taishou was captured!" ”

"Captured!?"

Liu De thought that Taishou might look down on him or have something important, or he might be seriously ill, so he didn't come to greet him, but he didn't expect that the final reason was that he was captured!

Liu De was very surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Lord Taishou, but when he went out of the city to meet the enemy, he was captured by the enemy?" In Liu De's opinion, only this possibility is relatively high, so he brought it up.

Zheng Longjiang said to Liu De: "General, Lord Taishou went out of the city to inspect the counties a few days ago, but he didn't expect to encounter the soldiers and horses of the Bodhisattva Sect, and Lord Taishou was captured by thieves!" ”

The rest of the officials also looked a little unpleasant, after all, anyone who heard that their own officials were captured by thieves would feel gloomy and extremely ashamed.

Zheng Longjiang continued: "The thief has sent a message, hoping to exchange Lord Taishou for the demon Dao who was arrested by us a few days ago, and we have just discussed this matter with everyone!" ”

"That's what happened! At the beginning, it was the demon Dao that I helped Zhu An capture, but I didn't expect this demon Dao's identity to be so special, and it provoked the Bodhisattva Sect to attack Chen Liu. Liu De chuckled and said to everyone.

"General! Is it the demon path that you helped Zhu An capture? An official stood up in surprise and said.

"Oh? Who is this adult? Liu De looked at the official who stood up and asked.

"Let me introduce it to the adults, this is the main book [Niu Hong] left by Chen." Zheng Longjiang Road.

"Master Niu, of course this matter is true, why should you use this kind of thing to deceive everyone?" Liu De said, without blaming Niu Hong for his rudeness.

Niu Hong said: "Why didn't Zhu An inform us about this? Could it be that Zhu An deliberately concealed it? Someone, call Juan over! ”

"Master Niu, this matter has nothing to do with him, I told Zhu An not to talk about it." Liu De said to Niu Hong.

At this time, Nie Jing, who had not spoken for a long time on the side, opened his mouth and sneered: "It turned out to be the demon Dao captured by General Liu and Zhu An, if it wasn't for General Liu's 'help', I'm afraid Xiang Taishou would not have been caught, and Chen Liu would not have been besieged by an army of 500,000 now!" ”

"Nie Jing, the demon path is demagogic, making the people and the court deviate from morality, the Bodhisattva Sect has long been anti-minded, what does it have to do with whether or not to catch the demon Dao, even if the Bodhisattva Sect army does not come today, it will come tomorrow! General Liu is for the imperial court to eliminate harm, but you are still sneering here, don't you really wait for the Bodhisattva Sect to attack Chenliu, you will close your stinky mouth! Niu Hong had long been unaccustomed to Nie Jing, and scolded him.

"The surname Niu, you dare to insult me, I swear to you that I will not give up!!" Nie Jing held down the sword at his waist, and he was about to fight with Niu Hong.

"That's it!"

Zheng Longjiang slapped the desk on the desk, and scolded loudly: "Shut up for me, what kind of noisy and noisy thing it is, and I'm not afraid of outsiders' jokes!" Then he said to Liu De: "It's really a joke for the general, and I ask the general for forgiveness." ”

Liu De's face was as usual, as if he didn't hear the ambiguity in Zheng Longjiang's words, and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" Taishou was captured, and it is understandable that this adult is emotional! ”

"General, you really know the righteousness!" Zheng Longjiang praised.

"Taishou was captured, I don't know if the general has a plan?" Niu Hong said, looking at Liu De with earnest eyes in his eyes.

Liu De can feel the small abacus of the officials in this palace, and Zheng Longjiang's attitude is even more interesting, Liu De said: "I think, it's better to replace Xiang Taishou back first!" After all, Xiang Taishou is an important minister, if an accident happens, I am afraid that this will make the world laugh at Chen and no one! I don't think you want the world to laugh at you! ”

"What General Anbei said is very true! Lieutenant Zheng, please give the order! Niu Hong pleaded.

"This..."Zheng Longjiang hesitated, and secretly hated in his heart, this Liu De child is really bad for me, I regret that I shouldn't let him enter the city! Damn it! Damn it!

"Since General Liu also agreed to exchange Lord Taishou back first, then I have no objection, but who will go to exchange with the thief? Since it was proposed by General Liu, is General Liu willing to go? Zheng Longjiang said.

Although Zheng Longjiang's face was heavy, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, if I could save Taishou, I couldn't say anything, but if I couldn't save it, but I lost my life, then I won't blame me!

Huh!
