However, it was said that after Zhao Qian settled the affairs of Jingxiang, he convened the sages to discuss the next plan, after all, Jingzhou at this time had not yet been fully integrated.

In particular, the four counties in the south, Changsha, Lingling, Wuling, and Guiyang, directly rejected the officials arranged by Zhao Qian.

After Zhao Qian glanced around, he asked Kuai Liang who was not far away, "Zirou has a long-term plan for Jingzhou?" ”

Kuai Liang stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said: "Prime Minister Qi, the conscience is a little shallow, there is no good plan, but if you want to seek a long-term plan for Jingzhou, why not ask the wise man to ask him?" ”

Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the Magi?" And recommend it to me. ”

Kuai Liang said: "Jing Xiang Ma clan, the five brothers have talents, and two of them can be wise men. ”

As soon as he heard Jingxiang Ma's family, Zhao Qian felt a little familiar, and before he could react, Kuai Liang's brother Kuai Yue smiled and said, "Zirou is talking about the five constants of the Ma family?" ”

Kuai Liang smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Exactly, there is a proverb in the township that says, 'Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best'." is the third of the five brothers, Ma Liang, the word Ji Chang. ”

"And what about the other Magi?" Zhang Fei asked.

Kuai Liang replied: "The other one is the youngest of them, Ma Yan, Ma Youchang. ”

As soon as he heard Ma Yan, Zhao Qian understood it, and it turned out to be a few of their brothers.

So, Zhao Qian laughed and said: "I have also heard of his brother's name, and since he is a wise man, I will give him preferential treatment." ”

Zhao Qian then ordered someone to invite, and after a while, the most sage Ma Liang came to Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian looked carefully, and sure enough, between his eyebrows, there was a pinch of white eyebrows, which made him look more energetic.

After Ma Liang finished the ceremony, Zhao Qian asked directly to the point: "Jing Xiang's momentum, Ji Chang can have a good strategy?" ”

Ma conscience knows in his heart that since he has been invited and in front of so many people, if he refuses to resign, it is not humble, it is not a lack of promotion.

So, Ma Liang bowed his hand and said with a smile: "You should give preferential treatment to your son Liu Cong, and show your kindness to the old people of Jingxiang, which is to reassure the people." Then he went south to Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling to hinder Liu Bei and Jiangdong and cut off their money and food. ”

Zhao Qian listened, nodded, and continued to ask: "The four counties of the southern expedition, which county should be taken first?" ”

Ma Liang thought for a while and said: "If you attack, you must rely on the terrain, the west of the Xiangjiang River, Lingling is the closest, you should take it first, and then take Wuling; Then to the east of the Xiangjiang River, take Guiyang, and finally take Changsha. ”

After Zhao Qian heard this, he thought it was true, after all, Ma Liang was a person from Jingxiang and was familiar with the customs and geography here, and it would be much easier to have him as a staff officer.

So, Zhao Qian ordered, with Zhang Fei as the vanguard, Xu Chu behind, Zhao Qian led the Chinese army, sent 20,000 troops, and set out in the direction of Lingling.

The land of Jingzhou is temporarily guarded by Xu Huang, supplemented by Cai Mao and other old departments of Jingxiang.

However, it was said that Liu Du, the Taishou of Lingling, heard that Zhao Qian personally raised troops to attack, and was frightened and abnormal, so he wanted to surrender the city.

His son Liu Xian hurriedly stopped and said: "Father, don't panic, that Zhao Qian is used to acting in the north, you need to know my Jing Chu Haojie, if he doesn't come, he will come today, and he will not come back!" ”

"Don't be arrogant, Zhao Qian's subordinates Zhang Fei and Xu Chu are brave and champion the three armies, not to be underestimated!" Liu Du said with a sad face.

Liu Xian didn't think so, waved his hand, and said: "He Zhao Qian has Zhang Fei and Xu Chu, and I Lingling also has General Xing Daorong!" The criminal general is invincible to 10,000 people, and he can resist it! ”

Liu Du looked to the side, Xing Daorong was there, his face was expressionless, and he asked, "Is General Xing competent?" ”

Xing Daorong's cheeks twitched slightly, and he said with a stiff face: "It's too guarded but there is a life, don't dare to disobey!" ”

When Liu Du heard this, he was overjoyed, Xing Daorong was the first fierce general under him, and he usually exterminated the mountain bandits, and it was all up to him to collect grain and taxes.

It's just that this torture Daorong's natural paralyzed face makes Liu Du dislike it very much, but now it seems that it is a little more pleasing to the eye.

So, Liu Du waved his hand and said: "Xing Daorong listened to the order, led 10,000 soldiers in the city, and went to resist Zhao Qian!" ”

"Order!"

Xing Daorong clenched his fists and received the order, then turned and left, preparing to gather soldiers and horses to resist the incoming enemy.

Subsequently, Xing Daorong led the soldiers in the city, thirty miles away from Lingling, to set up the camp by the mountain and water, and waited for the arrival of Zhao Qian's army.

Within a day, Tanma Fei reported: "Zhao Qian has led all the soldiers and horses to kill." ”

Xing Daorong didn't think about it, led the army out of battle, the two formations were in a circle, Xing Daorong turned his horse out, holding a big axe to open the mountain, and shouted: "You have occupied the north, why bother to invade my borders?" ”

When Zhao Qian heard this, he laughed and reprimanded: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land!" I am the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, according to the edict of the Son of Heaven, patrol the world, you are not a minister, you are stubborn resistance, and I can protect you from your wife and children! ”

Xing Daorong grinned and said: "You are not a battle, Liu Cong is cowardly, he actually surrendered, and now he has come to Lingling, so he can teach you to learn about Jing Chu Yinghao!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xing Daorong didn't talk nonsense, shouted, picked up the mountain axe, and rushed to Zhao Qian.

At this time, Zhao Qian, relying on the force value alone, was already able to fight with Zhang Fei for dozens of rounds without falling behind, how could he be his opponent?

Xing Daorong is also smart, and after a few axes, he naturally understands that he is not an opponent, so he waves his hand and kills the army behind him.

Zhao Qian frowned, he led the Chinese army to come, the troops were insufficient, although he was not afraid of the torture of the Rong soldiers and horses, but the frontal battle would inevitably increase unnecessary casualties.

This is not Zhao Qian's style!

Thinking that Xu Chu was leading the troops in the rear, Zhao Qian turned around and stepped on the snow rouge BMW and led the troops back.

Xing Daorong didn't know what the plan was, and thought that Zhao Qian was forced by his own power, so he shouted expressionlessly and led the army to chase after him.

After wiping the foot of the mountain, Zhao Qian suddenly stopped the team, and Xing Daorong just caught up, picked up the big axe and ran straight away.

However, at this time, Zhao Qian did not move, only to see that the team was divided into two, and another army of Biao troops was killed from the rear.

The first person shouted: "Bold rebel, Xu Chu is here, accept your life!" ”

Xing Daorong was taken aback coldly, and after a few rounds, he didn't dare to fight and ordered a retreat.

However, at this moment, Xing Daorong shouted and killed behind him, and soldiers and horses came all the way!

The first person, with a leopard's head and ringed eyes, a steel beard, and a spear spear in his hand, was a man on his back for a while, and his feet were in chaos.

When Liu Xian, who was mixed in the formation, saw such a scene, he didn't care about saving Daorong, and hurriedly beckoned the surrounding soldiers and horses, and he didn't know how to do it, so he fled to Lingling City.

And Xing Daorong, who was besieged by the soldiers and horses of the three routes, after several struggles, had no hope of escaping, so he turned over and dismounted and asked for surrender!

At this moment, Zhao Qian was a little stunned, Xing Daorong, who was still righteous and awe-inspiring just now, actually surrendered like this?

After seeing Xing Daorong's stiff face and squeezing out a smile, the corners of Zhao Qian's mouth raised, and with a wave of his big hand, his sergeant stepped forward and tied Xing Daorong to a knot!
