At dawn, Li Yan and the others bid farewell to Huo Lichang and went straight to Shangyong City.

According to the plan, they were going to go straight to Xicheng County. However, everyone has been running for several days, and people can bear the fatigue, but they can't stand the dry food and everything is almost consumed. So, everyone simply entered Shangyong City and made some purchases.

Shangyong City was not under martial law, and the city gates were opened every hour, and people and merchants were not forbidden to enter and exit.

The gates are not closed until sunset.

Obviously, the battle in Xicheng County did not affect Shangyong City.

This also made Li Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

There is a way for laymen to see the liveliness, and insiders to see the doorway. Guan Ping and the others just saw that Shangyong City was still prosperous, but they didn't know that if Uncle Liu Huang couldn't hold on in Xicheng County, Shangyong City would have been under martial law at this time.

Now, since there is no martial law in Shangyong City, this shows that the situation in Xicheng County is not bad.

As a result, Li Yan and the others were relieved to purchase materials in Shangyong City.

In fact, if they go directly to the Shangyong City Mansion at this time, as long as they express their intentions, and then take out Uncle Liu's handwritten solicitation letter, these materials do not need to be paid for out of their own pockets, and the Shangyong City Mansion will definitely arrange them properly.

After all, it was a talent recruited by Uncle Liu Huang, and the guards of Shangyong City would not dare to slack off.

It's just that Li Yan and the others don't want to waste time in Shangyong City, so there is no need to alarm the defenders of this city.

Soon, the dry food and everything were almost purchased, everyone gathered at the west gate of Yuan Shao's place, and then drove the car, the horse of the horse, and went straight to Xicheng County.

Half an hour later, more than fifty horsemen followed and headed straight to the west.

……

Fifty miles out of Shangyong City in the west, Li Yan and others were resting; Although everyone was tired, the morale was quite high.

"Hopefully, tomorrow, we will be able to rush to Xicheng County." Eating dry food, Li Yan sighed.

Hearing Li Yan's sigh, Guan Ping didn't care if they were military generals, anyway, no matter how tired they were, their generals could afford it. However, Huo Yi frowned and persuaded:

"We don't have to be in such a hurry, Mrs. and the child are a little overwhelmed."

Although Huo Yi is also a martial artist, his strength is not very good, and he is from a wealthy family, and he has never been in such a hurry to come over, so during this time, Huo Yi also feels a little unbearable.

Of course, more importantly, the wife and children are indeed more unbearable.

Among the accompanying group of people, only he Huo Yi and Li Yan were the ones with their families!

Li Yan put down the dry food, took a sip of water, and replied: "I also want to take a good rest, but time waits for no one." ”

"Just now, more than a dozen riders passed by us, and everyone saw it."

"They all carried red flags behind their backs, and it was the Red Feather Messenger. Everyone has never seen the Red Feather Messenger, so it doesn't hurt to know him at first glance. However, everyone must have heard of what the Red Feather Messenger did. ”

Just now, a wave of Red Feather messengers passed by them, and it seemed that they were heading to Shangyong City to report their victory.

Guan Ping didn't know the connotation of the Red Feather Messenger, but Li Yan had served as a warden in Xiangyang City for so many years, how could he not know the meaning of the title Red Feather Messenger?

Only in a life-and-death battle will the winner send a Red Feather Messenger to report victory.

The main purpose of the Red Feather Messenger was to appease the panic of the people in the rear.

Originally, Li Yan still wanted to rush to the front line of Xicheng County so that he could make a contribution, who would have thought that Zhang Lu would be defeated so quickly. Although there is no chance to make contributions for the time being, at this time, Li Yan wants to rush to Xicheng County as soon as possible.

Since Uncle Liu Huang has won a big victory, he will inevitably take advantage of the situation to pursue the hinterland of Hanzhong.

If they were late, Uncle Liu Huang would probably have left Xicheng County long ago.

At that time, will they continue to follow up to the hinterland of Hanzhong, or will they wait for Xicheng County to do nothing?

……

"It's the Red Feather Messenger?" Everyone felt a little abrupt.

What does the Red Feather Messenger do?

Naturally, the good news was delivered to the rear!

Even though they had never seen the Red Feather Messenger, they had heard about the Red Feather Messenger.

"So, the battle between Uncle Liu Huang and Zhang Lu has already been decided?" Guan Ping asked.

"Not only did he distinguish the winner from the loser, but I was afraid that Zhang Lu had already been defeated, but Uncle Liu Huang had a big victory. Only with a big victory, Uncle Liu Huang will send a red feather messenger to report the victory. "Huo Yi is the head of the Huo family in Nanjun, and he still has these insights.

Soon, everyone began to talk about it.

It is said that most of the soldiers and horses under Uncle Liu Huang's command came from Jingzhou, and there were too few of his descendants. Now that we are recruited to defect, we can be regarded as Uncle Liu's descendants, right? Pei Yuanshao asked with some uncertainty, but his eyes looked at Li Yan.

In fact, his and Zhou Cang's backgrounds are not very good.

Whether it's as a Yellow Turban remnant, or a bandit or something, this is not a good background.

Nowadays, although the princes of all walks of life will also recruit them, most of them will not be able to be reused.

It is more likely that after they took refuge in a certain prince, they were used as cannon fodder. After hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao, how many Qingzhou soldiers are left under Cao Cao's command now?

Therefore, the remnants of the Yellow Turban would rather be exterminated as bandits and robbers, rather than accept Zhao'an.

In fact, the lessons of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban are not too far away.

Pei Yuanshao accepted Uncle Liu's recruitment, because Uncle Liu Huang's reputation for benevolence and righteousness, he didn't think he would pit them poor people, plus the cottage in Wufeng Mountain couldn't hold on, so Pei Yuanshao accepted Uncle Liu's recruitment.

Nowadays, it is said that there are not many descendants of Uncle Liu, and those of them who were recruited by Uncle Liu have become the descendants of Uncle Liu?

……

"Uncle Liu Huang is really a generation of heroes, and he wiped out Zhang Lu's 100,000 army so quickly?"

Knowing that the Red Feather Messenger was a success, but it had to be a great victory, Huo Yi was still a little incredulous.

What is Uncle Liu's strength, and what is Zhang Lu's strength, this is not just a gap that can be reversed by a few fierce generals under his command. With Xicheng County's Chenggaochi Shen, it would be good for Uncle Liu Huang to be able to block Zhang Lu's counterattack, how could he destroy Zhang Lu so quickly?

Is Uncle Liu Huang too fierce?

Or is Zhang Lu too incompetent?

Li Yan listened to Huo Yi's incredulity, but did not answer for comment.

In Li Yan's view, Uncle Liu Huang was able to achieve a great victory in Xicheng County, but I am afraid that most of it is due to Zhuge Kongming and Pang Shiyuan.

Since deciding to join Uncle Liu Huang, Li Yan has concentrated on studying Uncle Liu's experience for so many years.

In other words, Uncle Liu Huang has been raising troops for more than ten years, but he has been running around. finally got a piece of land, but it was still given by Tao Qian, and then it was quickly taken away.

Uncle Liu Huang has experienced a lot of big battles, but he has never won such a record.

It is said that when Uncle Liu Huang invited Zhuge Kongming to go out of the mountain, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses around him.

With only this bit of soldiers and horses, he can capture half of Hanzhong, if Uncle Liu Huang is really so fierce, what did he do earlier?

Of course, this is not that Li Yan looks down on the future lord, it's just that he has a mirror in his heart, and he knows who is the primary credit for Uncle Liu's great victory.
