Zhou Yu and Lu Xun led their troops to withdraw that night.

Cheng Yu and Xu Shu then pursued.

The two armies fought in the wilderness more than ten miles away from Guiyang, and neither side got much benefit, so they had to retreat.

Cheng Yu and Xu Shu led the army back, and Pang Tong stood at the head of the city and said to Zhao Fan: "General Zhao can open the city gate and invite Yuan Zhi and Cheng Gong to enter the city." ”

"What are you still doing?" Zhao Fan turned around and instructed the guards behind him: "Open the city gate immediately, and follow me out of the city to meet the two generals." ”

"General Zhao is out of the city, I won't go." Pang Tong said: "I will wait for a few people in the city. ”

Arching his hand to Pang Tong, Zhao Fan said, "I'll go first." ”

gave Zhao Fan a salute in return, and Pang Tongmu sent him off the city wall.

There was still some distance from Guiyang, and Cheng Yu saw the city gate open.

He said to Xu Shu: "When the city gate is opened, it must welcome us into the city." ”

"Zhou Yu has already left, but Guiyang City can also enter." Xu Shu said: "It's just that our army has a large number of people, and I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here for many days." ”

"At least ten days and half a month." Cheng Yu replied: "Make sure Zhou Gongjin goes away, so we can withdraw our troops." ”

"What Cheng Gong said is reasonable." Xu Shu responded.

When they arrived at the gate of Guiyang City, Cheng Yu and Xu Shu saw a few fast horses coming towards them.

The first person was Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan.

In front of the two of them, Zhao Fan bowed his hand and saluted: "The two generals have worked hard. ”

"General Zhao has been guarding the city for many days, and it is also very hard." Cheng Yu said in return.

"Knowing that the two generals were pursuing the enemy army back, General Pang asked me to wait here." Zhao Fan said: "I also invited the two generals to enter the city with me, so that I could set up a celebration banquet for the generals." ”

"If we enter the city, the army will definitely go in together." Xu Shu asked with a smile: "I wonder if Guiyang can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers?" ”

"Although Guiyang is remote, it is not a small city." Zhao Fan said: "Don't say 30,000 or 40,000 people, even if it is more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, it can be tolerated." ”

"Then bother the general." Xu Shu arched his hand to Zhao Fan again.

"Two generals, please!" Zhao Fan stepped aside and made way for the two of them.

Accompanied by Zhao Fan, Cheng Yu and Xu Shu entered Guiyang City.

When entering the city, Zhao Fan asked Xu Shu: "General Xu, I don't know what the relationship with General Pang is?" ”

"Shi Yuan and I are both under the command of Gongzi, of course we are very close." Xu Shu asked, "What does General Zhao mean by asking this?" ”

"It's not interesting." Zhao Fan smiled: "It's just that I asked General Pang before, and he hasn't married a wife so far, but he has a few concubines." I have a widowed sister-in-law, Fan, who is very good-looking, and I plan to marry General Pang. But he told me that I needed to ask my son for instructions, and my son would allow me to get married......"

"General Pang said so, that is, he probably agreed to General Zhao." Xu Shu smiled: "Why is the general in such a hurry to marry off his widowed sister-in-law?" ”

"General Xu doesn't know." Zhao Fan replied: "My brother has passed away for many years, and my widowed sister-in-law has no descendants. When no one was around, I often saw her sitting alone in the gazebo and sighing alone. To tell you the truth, I had already had the idea of marrying my widowed sister-in-law, but I didn't meet the right person, so I delayed it. ”

"I wonder if General Pang sent a messenger to Shouchun?" Xu Shu asked.

"The enemy army is besieging the city, and it hasn't had time yet." Zhao Fan replied.

"The messenger is fast, and it won't take many days from here to Shouchun." Xu Shu said: "If you return from Shouchun, it will take more than half a month at most. General Zhao should not be anxious, and turned around and urged General Pang to send someone to see Gongzi. ”

"After all, General Pang and I are not particularly familiar with each other." Zhao Fan said with some embarrassment: "I have to trouble General Xu to say a few kind words." ”

"I haven't seen Sister-in-law Ling either." Xu Shu said: "If it weren't for the kind that General Pang liked, wouldn't I offend him?" ”

"It's better than that." Zhao Fan said: "At the banquet in the evening, I invited my sister-in-law to come out to meet General Pang, if they can see each other, of course it would be great." If General Pang didn't take a fancy to his sister-in-law, he would have made other plans. ”

"Since we plan to marry General Pang, it's not appropriate for us to meet with Sister-in-law Ling." Xu Shu said: "General Zhao only needs to arrange for the two of them to meet, that's it." ”

Xu Shu refused to participate in this matter, and Zhao Fan was somewhat disappointed.

proposed to marry Fan to Pang Tong, and he also had his own plans.

Pang Tong is a celebrity next to Cao Shuo, although he looks ugly, he has a lot of real power in his hands, and he also has a certain weight in front of Cao Shuo.

As long as he has a relationship with Pang Tong, he will be equivalent to Cao Shuo, and he will be easy to mix up in the Cao family from now on.

Xu Shu and Cheng Yu both understood his intentions, and of course Pang Tong couldn't have seen it.

When Zhao Fan mentioned this matter to Pang Tong, he wanted to ask Cao Shuo because he wanted to know how Cao Shuo weighed the pros and cons of this matter.

After entering the city, Pang Tong also went down the city wall to meet Xu Shu and Cheng Yu.

After everyone saw it, Zhao Fan said to Chen Ying: "General Chen, I want several of my generals to celebrate, and please guard the city." ”

"The last general commands!" Chen Ying received the military order.

Zhao Fan said to Pang Tong and the others: "You have been fighting hard for days, and you are invited to the official mansion for a banquet. ”

In addition to Pang Tong and the other three, Lu Bu, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Zhang He, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou also went to the official mansion with them.

Leading the way in front, Zhao Fan looked back at a few people from time to time.

Pang Tong led Yan Liang and Wen Chou into the city before, and he recognized it.

Although Lu Bu and the others were famous, Zhao Fan had never seen them in person, but he felt that the appearance of these generals was extraordinary, and they were all like god generals.

He whispered to Pang Tong on the side and asked, "Dare to ask General Pang, who are these generals behind ......?"

"Yuan Zhi didn't introduce you." Pang Tong stopped, pointed at Lu Bu and said, "This is General Lu Fengxian Lu......"

He introduced Lu Bu and others to Zhao Fan one by one.

Zhao Fan's face was full of astonishment, and he hurriedly bowed to several generals and saluted: "I don't know if it's a few generals, I was slacking off before, don't blame it." ”

Lu Bu and the others simply arched their hands in return.

Lu Bu said: "General Zhao doesn't have to be polite, the main commander of this expedition will be Yuan Zhi, just entertain him well." ”

"Generals, please go ahead." In front of Lu Bu and the others, of course Zhao Fan didn't dare to walk in front, he stepped aside and asked everyone to go first.

Zhao Fanli was thoughtful, and the unhappiness of Lu Bu and the others due to his previous negligence had all disappeared at this time.

"Zhao Fujun, please!" Everyone also gestured to Zhao Fan.

Leading everyone to the official mansion, Zhao Fan instructed the guards: "Pass the order, immediately set up a banquet, and I want to have a few more drinks with the generals." ”

PS: Take a leave of absence today, and it will definitely break out tomorrow
