Ten miles outside Yiyang City, the war in Jiangxia has dragged on so far and has entered the second half of May, and the weather is gradually getting hotter. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Changsha was still in a relatively wild state, and the speed of the army's march could not be fast, not only that, but also to prevent the soldiers from resting. On the gallop road, there was a soldier and horse marching slowly, the first one was about sixteen years old, dressed in plain silver fish scale armor, it was Qiao Ren who was sent by Sun Ce to gallop to help Sun Quanjun. And Jia Hua and Dai Gang's second generals followed him as the military commanders of the headquarters.

Since Dai Gang was appointed as a military candidate by Qiao Ren, that song was originally dissatisfied. After all, no one would be convinced by a young man who was only fifteen years old but suddenly became a military candidate, but although Dai Gang was young, his martial arts were half a point higher than Jia Huadu, and after a period of competition, he beat all the invincible opponents of the song; Moreover, although Dai Gang is a child of the family, he is even more committed to Qiaofu as a scholar after his family is in the middle of the road, so naturally he will not have the arrogance of those who suddenly occupy high positions, but mingle with the soldiers. Under the combination of grace and power, he firmly grasped this song in his hands.

"Zixia, how far is it from Yiyang here?" Qiao Ren asked Jia Hua on the side.

"Back to the general, there are only ten miles away." Jia Hua looked at the surrounding terrain, he was originally from Changsha and admired Sun Jian's prestige, and then joined Sun Ce's army, so he was naturally more familiar with Changsha County.

Qiao Ren thought for a while and asked, "There is no enemy army outside Yiyang City, so where is there a place in Changsha County to charge?" ”

Jia Hua thought about it for a while, but in fact, with his level, he didn't know where to rush. can only recall that in the past, Sun Jian was the place where Changsha was too punctual to garrison. "Youxian County and Xiangxian County are both places where soldiers are stationed."

"Oh" Qiao Ren nodded when he heard this, "Pass on my general, and the army will go straight to Youxian." "But when Qiao Ren came, although the Jingzhou army and the Xiakou Sun army were across the river, if they wanted to say that they wanted to start a war, they didn't mean anything at all. It can be seen from this that the Jingzhou army in Jiangbei only delayed Sun Ce's southward march to Changsha. The only thing that can make the Jingzhou army act like this is to let Liu Pan, who treats Liu Biao like a parent, have time to withdraw the army. Qiao Ren did this, not to pursue Liu Pan, he had a few catties and taels he knew. Not to mention that there is still Huang Zhong in Changsha County, even if it is only Liu Pan and he is not an opponent with this little person. And he ordered to go directly to Youxian in order to take over Changsha County earlier than Sun Quan. Originally, Sun Quan's troops were still there, but they were not trapped in Yiyang, but now that Lu Fan was seriously injured and unconscious, Sun He was killed in battle, and Sun Quan was defeated in the first time leading the army, so he naturally did not dare to take the initiative to attack again, and Zhu Ran, before he was a fledgling, he was only a county commander and a nominal captain, and his qualifications in leading troops were not as good as Qiao Ren.

"Ziwei, your song and Xingba and I escorted grain, grass, and medicine into the city to visit General Lu. Zixia and General Su advanced directly with the army. When Qiao Ren's army was marching out, Sun Ce allocated some grain, grass and medicine to Qiao Ren, as if to say that when Sun Quan abandoned the village, the grain, grass and armaments were all left in the village, and now there are not so many things for the army in Yiyang City. Besides, there are so many wounded soldiers in Yiyang, Sun Ce will also send some military doctors over. Qiao Ren will naturally send these doctors who can only treat injuries to Dao Yiyang.

"Whoa!"

―――――――― the dividing line of all evils――――――――

In the city of Yiyang. Although Sun Quanjun suffered defeat, these were all soldiers of Wu Houzhong's army, but it was not so easy to lose military morale, but there were too many injuries and illnesses in the city, and the howling every day and night was a little infiltrating. As for Zhu Ran's troops, they have not yet fought, so they naturally have to take on the mission of guarding the city tower, of course, Yiyang City was originally guarded by them.

On the city tower, Zhu Ran, the general of Dangkou Zhonglang, will go to the city tower every day to inspect it, and he will naturally not miss it today. A soldier suddenly came to report, "Reported, two miles outside the general's city, there is a song of men and horses coming towards the city gate." "When Zhu Ran heard that an army was coming, he was still a little nervous, although the other party was only five hundred people." You can know where the soldiers and horses are, and who they are waving. ”

"General Hui, all of them are wearing the armor of our army. The flag reads "Overseer Captain Joe"

"There is a captain surnamed Joe in our army." Zhu Ran said to his lieutenant general, Zhu Ran is a lieutenant general, naturally there is a lieutenant, unlike Qiao Ren who is just a lieutenant. It is no wonder that when Qiao Ren was studying in Wu County, Zhu Ran had already become a county magistrate; When Qiao Ren made the marching master book, Zhu Ran had already started with Sun Quan first. Now, Qiao Ren has become a captain of the Overseer, of course Zhu Ran doesn't know.

The deputy general is stationed in Wu County with Zhu Zhi all the year round, "Jiangdong Qiao's surname is the first to recommend Wu County Qiao Ren, it is not him." ”

"That's not right!" Zhu Ran was also puzzled, "Qiao Ziyan is just a book under the Metropolitan Governor." Zhu Ran couldn't figure it out, "Inform it, the city gate is under martial law." Strictly prevent Liu Panjun from pretending to be our army to defraud the city. It's not that Zhu Ran was too cautious, but Sun Quan also lost a lot of armor when he abandoned the village, but he didn't want to think about how if Liu Pan cheated the city, how could he come out under a banner that no one knew.

In a quarter and a half hours, Qiao Renjun came to the gate of Yiyang City, looking at the soldiers on the city tower as if they were facing a great enemy, and they didn't have time to complain, but Gan Ning on the side couldn't hold back, in his mind, he and others came to help them, although they didn't need to beat gongs and drums to welcome, but they still wanted to go out of the city to greet each other, how could this be the same as belonging to the enemy country.

"We are rebelling against the general's command, and we will open the city gate quickly." Gan Ning's surname was irritable, but when he saw the appearance of the city, he took the lead and yelled.

"Who is this man?" Zhu Ran on the city tower was depressed, why do people who don't know him say that he is a friendly army! Looking at Gan Ning's dress, Zhu Ran shook his head, looking at such a strange appearance, if it was really a friendly army, it should be very famous among Sun Cejun's army. However, for the sake of safety, Zhu Ran still asked, "Please see the captain of the overseer army." ”

Qiao Ren can understand Zhu Ran's caution very well, after all, he was a civil official a few days ago, and he was a scholar three months ago. Hearing Zhu Ran's words, Qiao Ren consciously slapped his horse forward, and when he could see Zhu Ran's appearance clearly in the city, he said: "Brother Yifeng hasn't seen him for many years, and my brother misses it very much." "It turned out that when Qiao Ren arrived in Wu County, Zhu Ran had already been released as a county order, but at the wedding of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Qiao Ren and almost all the ministers of Jiangdong at that time met, and Zhu Ran was naturally no exception.

"It's really Qiao Ziyan," although Qiao Ren's height has grown a lot, there is still no major change in his appearance, and Zhu Ran can still recognize it after a closer look. "Don't blame Ziyan and virtuous brothers, someone will open the city gate." While asking someone to open the city gate, Zhu Ran took the deputy general down to the city tower to greet Qiao Ren. It was no longer right to treat friendly troops as enemy troops and lock them outside the city, and the other party still came to rescue them, and it was the wife and brother of their own lord who led the troops. Zhu Ran just wanted to give the other party a face, so that Qiao Ren could reveal the matter.

Seeing that the city gate was opened, Qiao Ren went straight into the city with soldiers and horses, and saw Zhu Ran standing outside the city gate waiting, so he couldn't trust it and ordered Dai Gang to transport a dry of materials into the warehouse in the city first, and he dismounted and took Gan Ning to see Zhu Ran.

"Brother Ziyan, when did you become an Overseer Captain?" Zhu Ran spoke first, and he looked very affectionate. However, Qiao Ren knew in his heart that he and Zhu Ran were not familiar at all.

"Oh! A few days ago, the lord promoted me to lieutenant and led the army to help my brother. After that, Qiao Ren and Zhu Ran exchanged a few words of non-nutritious entertainment, and then introduced Gan Ning to Zhu Ran. This is the younger brother's army waiting for Gan Ning. ”

"General Gan is polite." Zhu Ran is very good at getting things done, and he also greets a person who is several levels younger than him with a smile, but his gift calms the anger in Gan Ning's heart. Gan Ning is not Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei is sometimes inexplicably angry, and Gan Ning always has only one reason, that is, the other party's etiquette is not good.

Zhu Ran saw the salute, and then Qiao Ren asked him to take him to meet Lu Fan. After all, Lu Fannai was an old minister who followed Sun Ce when he started his army, and he and Sun He were really Sun Ce's starting team, but Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were Sun Jian's family background left to Sun Ce. The three of them came to Lu Fan's bedroom, only to see that Lu Fan, who was originally quite dignified, was now lying motionless on the couch with a pale face. "How is General Lu's injuries?" Qiao Ren was still very concerned about the safety of this old minister of the Sun family.

"The doctor came to see it, and the injury was fine. It's just that the brain was hit, and when I woke up a few days ago, I heard the news of General Sun He's death and was too sad, so I hurt my vitality. Rest for a month. Zhu Ran looked at Lu Fan lying on the couch and was very emotional.

"It's fine. Why don't you see Brother Zhongmou? Qiao Ren heard that Lu Fan was fine, and began to care about Sun Quan again. Sun Quan's distress letter did not say that he was injured. But Qiao Ren came for so long and didn't see him, and he still felt a little strange.

Zhu Ran said with a sad face: "Zhong Mou is sick? ”

"Sick" Qiao Ren felt very strange, how could he be sick if he was not injured, Sun Quan He was very familiar with it, although he was not as strong as Sun Ce, but he was also a guy with an excellent body, how could he be sick for no reason.

"Zhongmou was defeated a few days ago, and after returning to Yiyang, he became angry and had back sores, and now he is better, but his body is weak and he can't see people. Hey~ This damn Liu Pan. "Don't blame him Zhu Ran for being angry, the four people who were good and good led the troops here, and now one is dead, one faint and one is sick, and the huge Changsha war is all on him alone.
