When Suo Nu crossed the water with 5,000 Xianbei cavalry, he happened to stop before Liu Yu sent Lu to find Cheng Xu and the messenger of the grain team.

Therefore, this messenger had no way to send Liu Yu's letter to Cheng Xu downstream. The road ahead was blocked, and the messenger had no choice but to hurry back to Macheng to report to Liu Yu.

After Liu Yu received this depressing news, he had roughly guessed Kebineng's intentions.

The whereabouts of the grain transport team have been exposed, Kebineng sent troops to rob the grain, Cheng Xu, Gongsun Ji, Xiahou Lan and the grain team have encountered unprecedented danger, whether to save or not?

Save, there are no generals available, and there are no extra troops to send, unless they abandon Macheng and lead all their soldiers to reinforcements.

If it is not saved, not only will the lives of the 4,000 Han soldiers and thousands of people be worried, but Kebi can not only get sufficient replenishment after seizing the grain and grass, but the defenders of Macheng will be hungry.

Liu Yu, who was in a dilemma, felt helpless for the first time.

"Lord Qiyu, I came from the east to ride, and now I have arrived in the city, calling myself Zhao Zilong, and I have an important letter to hand over to my lord!"

"What? Zhao Zilong! Liu Yu's body was shocked, and he suddenly remembered that when his son was messing around in Jizhou, he exchanged a young general from Gongsun Zhan, and it seemed that he was called Zhao Zilong.

Under the East City Gate, Zhao Yun had already dismounted, quietly waiting for a response from the city. He carried Cheng Xu's handwritten letter in his arms, and was not worried that Liu Yu would not be able to prove his identity after receiving it, but as long as he saw Liu Yu, he was sure to persuade Liu Yu to stay still and wait for his follow-up.

Soon, the figure of the benevolent elder Liu Yu appeared at the head of the city.

"Down there, Zhao Zilong, Zhao Duwei?" Liu Yu asked.

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and saluted to the head of the city, and replied: "Humble duty is exact!" Dare to ask the city is Lord Taifu? ”

"I'm Liu Bo'an, I don't know what happened to Zhao Duwei?" Liu Yu asked again.

"Please also ask your Excellency to take shelter in the corner tower temporarily, there is a letter in the cloud arms, and you need to shoot the feather to the city!"

Liu Yu nodded, and told the soldiers at the head of the city that when Zhao Yun shot arrows and sent a letter, he should not shoot at him, and then evacuated from behind the female wall and entered the corner tower to take refuge for a while.

Zhao Yun walked dozens of steps forward to the range of the arrow, then took out the letter, carefully tied it to the shaft of the arrow, and then neatly set up the bow and shot the arrow.

The arrow made a clear "whoosh" sound and was firmly inserted into the wooden gatehouse at the head of the city, and Liu Yu quickly walked out from behind the door and pulled out the arrow with the letter with his own hands.

After reading the letter, Liu Yu's face relaxed, and he ordered the guards guarding the city: "Quickly fall down the city gate and welcome Zhao Duwei into the city!" ”

"Please invite Captain Zhao into the city to talk!" Liu Yu's mellow voice sounded in the city.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun led the only remaining war horse to the east gate of Macheng......

In Liu Yu's room, Zhao Yun, who had already unloaded all kinds of weapons, respectfully saluted the elder Liu Yu.

"Humble Zhao Yun has seen Master Taifu!"

Liu Yu stretched out his hand to help Zhao Yun, who was bowing, looked at Zhao Yun with approval on his face, and said: "Wu'er often said in his letters that Zilong has the courage of ten thousand people, and he can be a general. ”

"Adults praise falsely, and the clouds dare not be ashamed." Zhao Yun said with a humble face.

"Hehe, Zilong doesn't have to be humble. In his letter, Cheng Xu praised your bravery and resourcefulness, and said that you have a major military situation that needs to be met with me in person, and you will now explain the specific situation to me in detail. ”

Zhao Yun then started from the part where he received Liu He's order and went to Guangyang to kidnap Yan Zhi.

When Liu Yu listened to Liu He's emergency response, he nodded with satisfaction; When he heard that Liu He had actually sent someone to control the Guangyang Yan clan, he shook his head again; When he heard about Zhao Yun's practice of crossing the river to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, he couldn't help but accuse Zhao Yun of being too risky.

In short, Liu Yu at this time was a standard elder, not only happy for his son's wit and decisiveness, but also worried about his son's recklessness and recklessness, and worried about Zhao Yun's daring.

Zhao Yun said: "My lord, it is speculated that Kebi can use the grain team as bait to force you to go out of the city to fight with him in person, so he risked his life to come and speak, and you must not go out of the city at this time!" The lowly has already had a plan to force Kebineng to retreat, as long as you wait in Malaysia for two days, everything will be clear! ”

"Tell me your plan in detail." Liu Yu said in a deep voice.

"The humble duty prepared to go out of the city overnight to search for Yan Rou's whereabouts, and after seeing him, he forced Yan Rou to send troops with the lives of thousands of Yan clans and Yan Zhi, and escorted the grain team to Macheng!"

Liu Yu frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Zilong, you coerced Yan Rou's parents and brothers against him, this is not a gentleman's doing, or find another good plan!" ”

Zhao Yun thought to himself that Yan Rou was a Han Chinese, but now he was colluding with the Xianbei people, was it necessary to talk about the style of a gentleman for such a person?

Seeing that Zhao Yun was silent, Liu Yu sighed and said earnestly: "I know that Dao Zilong is also doing this for the sake of the overall situation, but if we do things by unscrupulous means, even if it is for a legitimate purpose, and finally achieve the desired result, it is not the result we really want!" Just imagine, although Yan Rou made a mistake, even an unforgivable mistake, what does this have to do with his parents and brothers? ”

"Even if his parents, brothers and sisters know what Yan Rou has done, and even secretly collude with him, as long as they don't do anything illegal in Guangyang, how can we put the crimes committed by Yan Rou on the heads of the Yan clan? Taking a step back, even if I allow you to do this, Yan Rou still won't turn back at that time, will you really want to slaughter the Yan clan and kill Yan Zhi in front of the battle? ”

Looking at the benevolent elder with a righteous face in front of him, and listening to Liu Yu's earnest teachings, Zhao Yun suddenly felt that a light had entered his long-closed heart. Since the death of his parents, Zhao Yun has added a heavy lock to his heart, which hides a lot of sadness and pain that he does not want to mention to others.

"Yun remembers the teachings of the Lord today!" Zhao Yun said solemnly.

Liu Yu nodded, pleased with Zhao Yun's teachability.

"I was going to send someone to send a letter to Yan Rou, promising that the court would make him the Sima of Wuhuan Protector, but because the road was blocked after Kebi was able to steal Ningcheng, it could not be delivered to Yan Rou. You will take this letter with you when you go back this time, and at the same time find a way to persuade Yan Zhi to help you persuade Yan Rou to get lost and return and stop acting for the tiger. The official promised that as long as Yan Rou escorted the grain team to Macheng this time, he would not be held accountable for what he had done before. ”

"Cloud Command! My lord, Yun also thought of a second strategy to retreat from the enemy. ”

"Tell me about it."

"If you can't convince Yan Rou, Yun asks your lord to urgently dispatch 10,000 soldiers and horses from Wei You's department stationed in Gaoliu to come to support, and then our army will be closed on three sides, with as many as 30,000 troops, and we have the strength to fight head-on with Kebi!"

"Well, it works. However, it will take a few days to go back and forth, and there is only one day of food and grass left in Macheng, and if Kebi can find that the situation has changed, he may gather a large army to besiege the grain team, how to deal with this situation? Liu Yu asked.

"At this critical juncture, please give the order to kill the horse and fill the food!" Zhao Yun replied without hesitation.

"Good! The official will grant your request! Liu Yu was not a pedantic person, and immediately agreed to Zhao Yun's suggestion.

After Zhao Yun left, Xiahoulan closely monitored the movements of the Xianbei people, and ordered the troops to camp by the river in the same way as a few days ago to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp at night.

After the test of the previous two days, the Han troops in the camp had a much stronger psychological endurance, and they methodically dug ravines around the camp, rammed protective embankments by the river, and moved all the clothes and flammable materials on the vehicles to safe areas.

Kebineng, who was hiding on the other side of the river, was suddenly visited by someone, and when the pro-guards who had chased Zhao Yun to no avail returned to the camp, there were only half of them left, which made Kebineng angry and very curious about the identity of the comer.

Without waiting for Kebineng to send someone across the river to investigate, a messenger sent by Suonu rushed to report the news to Kebineng about the obstruction of the attack on the Han army's grain team and the release of Zhao Yun to Macheng. Before Suo Nu crossed the river, Kebineng had personally told Suo Nu that if the Han army sent someone to Macheng for help, don't stop it.

Kebineng didn't know that the person who came to visit the camp and the person who broke through to Macheng was actually only one person, so he did not criticize the lock slave for his ineffective operation, but told the lock slave to entangle the Han army's grain team and take the opportunity to launch several harassing attacks at night.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Yun held Liu Yu's tokens and handwritten letters, and hurriedly left Macheng under the cover of night.

After sneaking forward along the south bank of the river for more than ten miles, Zhao Yun actually crossed the river again and came to the north bank, and under the noses of Suo Nu and Kebineng, he rode his horse along the river bank to the lower reaches of the river.

The distance between Kebineng's battalion and Suonu's troops was only ten miles in a straight line, but in order to hide their whereabouts, they did not station their troops on the edge of the river beach close to the Qiushui, which was equivalent to having a weak defensive zone several miles wide on the north bank.

Zhao Yun encountered sporadic Xianbei police posts along the way, all of them were shot to death, if there was a guy who didn't open his eyes to stop in front, Zhao Yun greeted him with a big gun.

When Zhao Yun arrived on the other side of the river where Xiahoulan was camping, he happened to see a shout of killing on the opposite side, so Zhao Yun quietly drove his horse and continued to walk downstream for several miles, and then flowed from here to the south bank and returned to the camp smoothly.

The reason why Zhao Yun did not cross the river from the section of the river in front of the camp was because his vision was not clear at night, and if he dared to approach the camp from the river, he might be shot into a hedgehog by his own people.

It can be seen that although Zhao Yun is brave, he is not a reckless man, and when he can use skill, he will definitely not be brutal.

Xiahou Lan was startled when she saw that Zhao Yun had come back from the lower reaches of the river, that is, from the east, and couldn't figure out what kind of trick Zhao Yun had changed for a while. During the day, he saw Zhao Yun break through the barrier of the Xianbei people and ride west, but now Zhao Yun appeared from the east, this is too weird, right?

Zhao Yun didn't have time to explain to Xiahou Lan, but yelled at the Xianbei people who were attacking the camp: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, die quickly!" ”

As he spoke, Zhao Yun shot several arrows at the outside of the camp with his bow.

Suonu, who was urging the soldiers of the clan to attack the Han army's camp, heard Zhao Yun's loud shout, and was so frightened that he was shocked.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! Devil Zhao will do it, and if he walks slowly, he will kill him......"

The Xianbei people, who had seen Zhao Yun's methods with their own eyes, heard Zhao Yun's voice at this time, and had no fighting intent, and without waiting for the slave to give the order in person, they quickly receded like a tide.

PS: Zilong is mighty, continue to ask for recommendations!
