However, it was said that when the Liangzhou Army and Naval Division arrived in the south of Huarong City, the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Dian Wei's department also came to the east gate of Huarong City. The land and water armies of the Liangzhou army surrounded Huarong City.

Historically, Huo Jun was first Liu Biao's subordinate, and then followed Liu Bei. When Huo Jun marched into Yizhou with Liu Bei, he used hundreds of people to resist Liu Zhang's 10,000 troops on the front line of Jiameng Pass, and he also defended Jiameng Pass for a year; In the end, Huo Jun took these hundreds of people to defeat Liu Zhang's army outside the pass, and also killed the enemy's main general, and successfully defended Jiameng Pass.

According to the information he had obtained earlier, Li Mu knew that the guard of Huarong City was Huo Jun. When the Liangzhou army besieged Huarong City, Li Mu was not in a hurry to attack the city, he wanted to persuade Huo Jun to surrender. After all, Huo Jun is not only a loyal and brave person, but also a person with talents, such a talent...... It should be recruited into the Liangzhou army.

When the Liangzhou army was discussing, Pang Tong proposed a plan to capture Huarong City, but Li Mu did not immediately adopt it, he wanted to persuade Huo Jun to surrender and take Huarong City without blood.

Since he was going to persuade Huo Jun to surrender, he naturally wanted to send a messenger who could speak well. At this time, in the Liangzhou army, only Pang Tong and Deng Zhi can take on this important task.

Deng Zhi asked for his life unrelentingly, and was willing to go to Huarong City to personally persuade Huo Jun to surrender, and if he couldn't succeed, he was willing to engage in military law. Seeing that Deng Zhi was recommended by Mao Sui again, and he was so confident, Li Mu naturally promised.

Subsequently, Li Mu sent Zhen Yao to escort Deng Zhi to Huarong City.

……

Deng Zhi and Zhen Yao took a small warship and went to Huarong City leisurely, and in a short time, they came to the city. Huo Jun and Huo Yi, father and son on Huarong City, naturally saw the Liangzhou Army warships outside the city a long time ago.

"The old man came from afar...... Brother Zhong Miao closed the city gates, which was not a way of hospitality. Brother Zhong Miao...... What a faux pas! ”

Just when Huo Jun and Huo Yi, father and son, were puzzled, Deng Zhi's hearty voice came from the Liangzhou Army warship outside the city.

Huo Jun heard Deng Zhi's voice, and hurriedly leaned out from the battlement and looked at the Liangzhou Army warship under the city. After two or three breaths, Huo Jun was completely convinced that the people outside the city were really old friends Deng Zhi.

When Huo Jun was about to speak, Huo Yi on the side said loudly with a happy face: "Father, it's really Uncle Deng!" ”

Huo Jun nodded, and said loudly with a smile on his face: "Brother Bo Miao...... Wait a few breaths, Jun will open the city...... Welcome Brother Bo Miao into the city! ”

After Huo Jun finished speaking, he didn't wait for Deng Zhi to reply, and stepped down the city tower and came to the water gate in the south of Huarong City. Huo Yi also walked briskly.

After dozens of breaths, the water gate in the south of Huarong City was opened, and the Huo family father and son took a small boat and sailed out of the city and came to the warship where Deng Zhi was.

Huo Jun bowed in the direction of Deng Zhi, and said loudly with a smile on his face: "Jun doesn't know...... Brother Bo Miao came from afar, and he missed the welcome, please forgive Brother Bo Miao! ”

Deng Zhi replied with a salute, and also joked with a smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for ten years, Brother Zhong Miao...... It's polite! ”

As soon as Deng Zhi's words fell, Huo Jun and Deng Zhi glanced at each other, and then laughed in unison.

After a long while, the two stopped laughing, and Huo Jun said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk. Brother Bo Miao, please go into the city for a while! ”

Deng Zhi laughed loudly: "Zhi, that's exactly what I mean!" ”

Subsequently, the two warships drove into the water gate of Huarong City side by side.

Entering the city and getting off the warship, Huo Jun immediately stepped forward, grabbed Deng Zhi's arms, and said with joy in his expression: "You and I, from Zhijiang City, in the blink of an eye, ...... That's ten years! The foolish brother is very concerned about the virtuous brother! ”

Deng Zhi held Huo Jun's arms back, nodded, and said with a happy expression: "In the snap of your fingers, it is ten years in a hurry." Why don't you miss the virtuous brother? When Zhijiang City parted, the little nephew was only five years old, and now, he has also grown into a young man! ”

Huo Yi touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Deng still remembers the little nephew?" ”

Deng Zhi patted Huo Yi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course I remember!" Back then, my uncle taught you to read and write, and now I think about it, and I remember it vividly! ”

Huo Yi smiled and nodded. Huo Jun looked at Deng Zhi, pointed in the direction of Zhen Yao, and asked loudly, "Brother Xian, this general is ......?"

Deng Zhi said loudly: "This is my lord's brother-in-law...... General Zhen Yao. If you have nothing to do, you will come to Huarong City with Zhi and go around! ”

Huo Jun nodded thoughtfully, and then greeted Zhen Yao with a salute.

Subsequently, Huo Jun and Deng Zhi talked and laughed all the way to the Huarong City Mansion.

The four of them came to the hall, the guests and hosts were seated, and the maids had already served refreshments.

As if there was a tacit understanding, Huo Jun was not in a hurry to ask why Deng Zhi came to Huarong City at this juncture. Deng Zhi also did not talk about the military affairs of the two armies, but only talked about the old friendship.

Two quarters of an hour later, the old friendship and the bits and pieces between the ten years are almost described. Seeing that Deng Zhi still didn't mention the battle between the two armies, Huo Jun was a little breathless.

Huo Jun stopped talking a few more times, and finally hesitated: "Brother Xian is here in Huarong City, it's really just ...... Coming to visit the foolish brother? ”

"Of course!"

Deng Zhi did not hesitate at all, and said loudly with a smile on his face: "The foolish brother came here with the general Li Junhou and learned that the virtuous brother was guarding Huarong City, so he came to visit the virtuous brother and the little nephew!" ”

"Virtuous brother, don't deceive the foolish brother!"

Huo Jun shook his head, smiled on his face, and said in a disapproving voice: "Right now, when the two armies are fighting, how can the virtuous brother have the leisure to visit his old friend?" If the foolish brother is as expected...... The virtuous brother came to Huarong City, and he must have come as a lobbyist. ”

Deng Zhi smiled silently, sipping tea leisurely.

Huo Yi was already thinking about it, but he was not in a hurry to exit. Hearing what Huo Jun said, Zhen Yao was heartbroken, turned his head to look at Deng Zhi, and then silently tasted tea.

The more calm Deng Zhi was, the more Huo Jun couldn't hold his breath. Huo Jun pretended to change his face, and said in a deep voice: "Foolish brother treats each other with sincerity, why is the virtuous brother hiding it?" ”

The expression on Huo Jun's face changed, how could Deng Zhi not see it. Deng Zhi knew in his heart that Huo Jun was not really angry, but just to cut to the point and find out why he came to Huarong City.

"Brother Xian is wrong to blame the foolish brother!"

Deng Zhi said in a solemn voice: "The foolish brother is here in Huarong City, and he is really not a lobbyist. The foolish brother came to Huarong City, first, to visit the old man, and to talk about the brotherhood of the year; Second...... It's to see the foolish brother for the last time! ”

Hearing Deng Zhi's last words, Huo Jun, Huo Yi and his son immediately changed their expressions. Zhen Yao held back a smile and lowered his head to taste the tea seriously.
