Chapter 14: Enter the Warcraft Forest

After listening to Liu Dou's words, Zhang Yi and Zong Pre glanced at each other again, tacitly speaking, it seemed that a big war of unprecedented scale was coming.

"Bo Gong, tell Adou about the strength of our army. ”

Zhang Fei walked around with his hands behind his back, sullen, "Mi Fang of the dog day, I am sorry for my eldest brother to value him so much, see that Lao Tzu does not peel his skin." ”

Zong Yu originally thought that the young man next to him was Zhang Fei's newly recruited personal soldier, but he didn't expect Zhang Fei to call him "Adou", and he couldn't help but show a puzzled look.

Zhang Yi hurriedly introduced: "This is Liu Dou, the eldest son of the king who has been lost for many years, and his name is promoted. ”

"Ah......h

Zong Pre almost dropped his jaw in shock, even more surprised than Mi Fang and Fu Shiren's treason, today is really an eye-opener.

No wonder I feel that this young man is a little familiar, it turns out that he is the eldest son of the king, so he says that his appearance and body are really his father, you look at these big ears, you look at this pair of slender arms.

Zong Pre hurriedly slammed to the ground: "It turned out to be the eldest son, please forgive me for being rude!"

Zhang Yi then remembered that he seemed to have never saluted, so he followed Zong Pre to make a gesture together.

Liu Dou hurriedly returned the salute respectfully: "Dou has seen two generals. ”

Zhang Fei unceremoniously interrupted the three of them: "Don't do all this red tape, Bo Gong, you quickly inform Gongzi of our Jiangzhou troops, deploy them, and set off separately." ”

"Whoa!"

Zhang Yi agreed, and looked at Liu Dou: "General Yide came to Langzhong this time with 3,000 soldiers and horses, and there are 5,000 people under the command of General Yan Lao in Jiangzhou. ”

Zhang Fei set his eyes on Zong Pre again: "You rushed to Jiangzhou overnight, replaced Yan Yan in Ba County, and ordered Yan Yan to lead 3,000 people to go south by boat, and rush to Jiangling in the starry night." ”

"Whoa!"

Zong pre-hugged his fist and received his life.

Zhang Fei is a general who has been in the army for many years, and Liu Dou knows that his ability to command troops is by no means comparable to himself, so he listens honestly and no longer interjects.

"Deyan, you still have to write a letter to the king, telling him that Mi and Fu are treasonous, and Jingzhou is in danger. I, Bo Gong, and Yuan Chu (Yan Yan Biaozi) have led 6,000 men and horses to gallop to the aid of the starry night. But Wu thieves are powerful, and Chengdu needs to send troops to help in order to make a fool's plan. ”

Zong Pre clenched his fists again: "My subordinates will repair the book." ”

Zong Yu is a wise general who can write and martial arts, and this kind of literary difference naturally falls on him.

While the three of them were talking, Liu Dou clasped his fists and said, "Third uncle, nephew go outside the door to explain to my brother." ”

"Go ahead!"

Zhang Fei waved his hand, "Don't be verbose for too long, the third uncle has finished discussing with the two of him, and he will leave immediately." ”

"Whoa!"

Liu Dou followed the example of Zhang Yi and the others, clasping his fists and saluting.

After going out, I saw Deng Ai squatting next to the lion in front of the door, looking worried.

Immediately smiled and stepped forward and patted Deng Ai's shoulder: "Shizai, what do you want?"

Deng Ai hurriedly got up and said, "Liu, Brother Liu, you have finished discussing with General Zhang, oh...... Fan should call you Childe. ”

At this time, Deng Ai was still called Deng Fan, because his name was the same as that of the villagers, and he was later renamed Deng Ai.

"Huh...... You're welcome. ”

Liu Dou patted Deng Ai's shoulder, "You and I met in adversity, if it weren't for you showing the way for my foolish brother, I wouldn't know where I am at this moment." You and I will get along as brothers in the future, and don't see each other!"

Deng Ai couldn't hear Liu Dou's voice, and hugged his fists again and said: "If, if that's the case, it's Fan Gaopan's son." ”

remembered that he signed up to be a small official in the county government office in Runan, but was ridiculed for stammering, Deng Ai was angry and didn't come out.

I didn't expect that by chance, I became a brother with the son of the king of Hanzhong, this life is really wonderful!

Liu Dou stretched out his fan-like palm to hold Deng Ai's hand, and said sincerely: "Shizai, the foolish brother won't hide it from you, I will tell you my life experience as it is." ”

It is estimated that Zhang Fei will come out soon, so Liu Dou concisely recounted the story that happened to him to Deng Ai, and finally said: "Although Brother Yu has no position now, I have a horse herding in the Central Plains, and I am determined to restore the Han family, can Shizai help me?"

After a pause, he added: "You and I don't have to fight blood, but in my heart, Shizai is my brother." If I am rich, I will not forget. ”

"Thanks to Brother Liu, Deng Fan is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses. ”

Deng Ai shook his head to the ground and expressed his heart directly.

If the eldest son of the king of Hanzhong in front of him does not follow, will he go to Wei to be a small official? Unless his head is kicked by a donkey.

In the spring of this year, Liu Bei, the lord of Shu, defeated Cao's army in Hanzhong, killed Xiahou Yuan, defeated Cao Cao, and pocketed Hanzhong, a place where soldiers must fight, and ascended to the throne of Hanzhong in the same year.

This battle thwarted Cao Wei's arrogance, causing those who did not submit to Cao Cao's rule to rebel one after another, such as Hou Yin and Wei Kai in Wancheng, and the Gongsun clan in Liaodong.

Seeing that Liu Beijun's momentum was like a rainbow, Sun Quan couldn't sit still, and led his troops to cross the Yangtze River and attack Hefei again, in an attempt to be ashamed.

For a while, Cao Wei was stormy, and pressed the gourd to float the scoop.

Cao Cao, who was already sixty-five years old and frail, was even more anxious, so he could only send troops from various states to Hefei for reinforcements.

In July, Guan Yu, the former general of Shu Han, raised 30,000 troops to force Xiangyang, captured Yu Ban, beheaded Pang De, and captured 30,000 Wei troops.

For a while, the world was shaken, and Cao Cao had trouble sleeping and eating, and wanted to move the capital to Yecheng to avoid the edge.

Although Wei general Xu Huang turned the tide and led new reinforcements to reinforce Fancheng in the starry night, forming a stalemate with Guan Yu, in the eyes of ordinary people, the general trend was already tilting towards Liu Bei, and there was great hope for the Zhongxing Han Dynasty.

Although Deng Ai, who traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, sensed Sun Quan's intention to sneak attack Jingzhou, and speculated that Guan Yu would be in a predicament, Deng Ai did not dare to judge what the final result would be.

After all, the battle of flooding the Seventh Army was too dazzling, and none of the Wei generals, including Yu Ban and Pang De, escaped, and all 30,000 troops were annihilated.

In the eyes of the people of the time, the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion is the reincarnation of Han Xin, the soldier immortal of the world, and the most dazzling general in the whole world.

Since the Shu army is powerful and Cao Wei is declining, why does Deng Ai still have an obsession with Wei State? He is a Han man!

"To be able to be assisted by a soldier, Liu Dou is fortunate to have three lives. ”

After getting Deng Ai's promise, Liu Dou almost smiled in his heart, and hurriedly helped Deng Ai up: "Shizai don't want to be polite, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren intend to surrender their grandson and rebel against Liu, and I will rush to Jingzhou with my third uncle tonight to control the situation." You then followed General Zhang Yi to supervise the troops and kill Jingzhou. ”

Deng Ai was shocked when he heard this.

I didn't expect Mi Fang, a powerful general of the Shu army, and the wife and uncle of the king of Hanzhong, to rebel against Shu and surrender to Wu, if so, I am afraid that the situation in Jingzhou will take a sharp turn for the worse, far worse than I imagined.

Deng Ai also admired Liu Dou's city mansion, and ate and slept with him all the way for three days, without saying a word.

This kind of person will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future, and Deng Ai's determination to follow Liu Dou in his heart is even stronger.

"Whoa!"

Deng Ai also followed Liu Dou's example, and his joy and anger were invisible.

"Adou, move quickly. ”

While the two were talking, they saw Zhang Fei, who was wearing cotton clothes, walking out of the post house with his baggage on his back, and Zhang Yi and Zong Yu followed behind to see them off.

"Okay, third uncle. ”

Liu Dou agreed, stepped forward and entrusted Deng Ai to Zhang Yi, and then stepped on the "iron horse" with Zhang Fei and said goodbye to everyone.

"The general and the son take care all the way!"

The three of them clasped their fists together, and watched the roaring iron rider disappear from sight like a smoke.

"Tsk...... This iron horse is faster than the arrow from the string, what a treasure!" Zong Yu was amazed.

Zhang Yi added: "No, I heard Brother Shizai say that it only took three days for the two of them to travel from Lujiang to Langzhong. ”

A moment later, a trumpet sounded in Langzhong City, and people shouted that horses neighed and torches were bright.

Zhang Yi led the 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city out of the city overnight to the east, met the 1,000 people who were waiting on the road, and ran in the direction of the darkness.

Zong Pre brought more than ten horsemen, fast horses, and rushed south to Jiangzhou in the starry night, taking over Yan Yan's garrison.

Zhang Fei was so worried that he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to Jingzhou, and kept urging Liu Dou all the way: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry up." ”

"Third uncle, you can't be faster, if the car overturns, our two will burp. ”

Liu Dou looked at the rising speedometer and patiently comforted Zhang Fei, "Steady, we will rush to Jiangling the morning after tomorrow at the latest." ”

There are two routes from Bajun to Jingzhou, one is from Jiangzhou or Quren, and goes south along the Yangtze River, and the speed of the boat is about 60 miles per hour.

The advantage is that it can continue to travel day and night, and it can also rest on the boat to recharge and recharge, so as to avoid the pain of long journeys.

It is about 800 miles from the ferry port in the county seat of Qunin to Gangneung, and it can be reached in about one day and one night by boat.

Another option is to follow the post road, from Quren to Yufu County, then to Zigui, then to Yiling, and finally to Jiangling, the seat of Jingzhou.

The advantage of this road is that the road is more than 100 miles away, and if Liu Dou's "iron horse" can maintain a speed of 40 kilometers per hour and gallop with all his might, it will be able to reach Jiangling in five hours, and the disadvantage is that the long journey is too tiring.

An hour and a half later, the uncle and nephew arrived in the territory of Qu Ren County.

I found a sheltered place on the side of the road, found some dry firewood, built a bonfire, and discussed whether to go down by boat or continue to "ride" by land while heating and satisfying my hunger.
