Chapter 11 A Visitor to the Town
The two of them were already very tired all the way, and when they opened their eyes, it was already bright.
Hurriedly padded his stomach, stepped on the iron horse one after the other, and continued to gallop towards Langzhong.
After passing Xuanhan County at noon, Deng Ai said happily: "Brother Liu, walk about three hundred miles to the west, and you will arrive at Langzhong County." β
"Great, let's work harder. β
Liu Dou happily increased the throttle, and the iron rider under his crotch galloped, advancing at a speed of about fifty kilometers.
After walking for about an hour, the road gradually widened, and Liu Dou wanted to mention the speed of the car again, but suddenly found that a team of soldiers and horses came on.
Hurriedly stopped to look, only to see that the size of this team was about 1,000 people, the armor was bright, the swords and guns reflected the sun, and the flag had a big "Zhang" character written on it.
"It's not good, if we meet officers and soldiers, let's avoid it first, right?"
Deng Ai knew that this thing under his crotch was eye-catching, and if he bumped into the officers and soldiers, he would definitely cause trouble, so he hurriedly reminded Liu Dou.
Liu Dou was already overjoyed, and laughed and said: "Brother Shizai, don't be afraid, I came all the way to Ba County to find General Zhang." β
"Okay. β
Deng Ai closed his mouth.
The officers and soldiers on the opposite side also discovered this strange iron horse, and immediately stopped and lined up, and nearly a hundred archers bent their bows and arrows one after another.
More than ten elite cavalry soldiers galloped over and warned loudly: "The man in front of him stops the wheel, otherwise the arrow will be ruthless!"
Liu Dou hurriedly got out of the car, raised his hands and said, "All military masters are calm and calm, and they are here to meet your General Zhang." β
Seeing Liu Dou and the others get down from this strange "iron horse", they honestly raised their hands, and these tense Shu soldiers were relieved, and more than ten horsemen surrounded the two in the center, shouting and asking: "What are you looking for General Zhang?"
"It is the nephew of General Zhang's hometown, and he has come to offer this iron horse. β
Liu Dou had already thought of his words, raised his hand and said respectfully, "This iron horse travels thousands of miles a day, and it is specially dedicated to General Zhang." β
Deng Ai looked puzzled, this Brother Liu traveled thousands of miles to Bashu just to present this "BMW" to this General Zhang?
This thing is unheard of, unseen, and you dedicate it to the King of Wei in Xuchang, isn't it better than giving it to this general?
But he was already surrounded by the Shu Corps, and Deng Ai couldn't do any more ideological work for Brother Liu, so he could only be silent and act at the opportunity.
Hearing that Liu Dou was General Zhang's nephew, and seeing that there were only two of them, these Shu soldiers relaxed their vigilance and turned their horses back to report.
A moment later, more than a thousand Shu soldiers came in line.
The head general was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with slender eyes, dark eyebrows, a delicate face, and a beautiful short beard on his chin, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw Liu Dou, "Who are you who dare to pretend to be my nephew?"
"Uh...... Placed an oolong, isn't this the third uncle?"
Liu Dou looked confused, and hurriedly saluted: "Xiao Kenai is the nephew of General Zhang Yide, his hometown Zhuo County, Hebei, and he has come to offer him an iron horse. β
The military general on this horse came to his senses: "Oh...... It turned out to be the nephew of General Yide, who was overseeing the repair of the city wall in Langzhong City!"
Liu Dou clenched his fists and asked, "The villain dares to ask the general's name?"
"Zhang Yi. β
Zhang Yi vaguely felt that Liu Dou was a little familiar in his heart, and he always felt a little familiar, and seeing that he was majestic and majestic, he didn't dare to underestimate him, and politely hugged his fists.
It turned out that he was ordered by Zhang Fei to go to Hanchang County to exterminate a thief who occupied the mountain as the king, and unfortunately ran into Liu Dou here.
It was urgent to rescue Jingzhou, Cao Wei dispatched Cao Ren, Man Chong, Xu Huang, and even Zhang Liao of Hefei rushed to Xiangyang with 5,000 elite soldiers to reinforce him.
On the Eastern Wu side, the forward troops led by LΓΌ Meng included Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran, LΓΌ Dai and other generals, and Sun Quan also took Ling Tong, Sun Ben, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and others to garrison Chaisang, and almost half of the main generals of Wu gathered around Jingzhou.
In contrast, Guan Yu's subordinates are only about a general, and the other Liao Hua is barely okay, as for Zhou Cang, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei and others are all soy sauce goods, Mi Fang, the second-in-command, has also made two or five boys, and has been crushed in terms of strength.
Before the crossing, Liu Dou often wondered, Guan Yu, as the commander of the Jingzhou Front, why didn't the Ji Han court allocate him a few reliable generals?
Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, these first-line generals couldn't be drawn, and second-line generals of Yan Yan, Huang Quan, Wu Yi, and Wang Ping were sent to serve, and no one in the province helped Guan Yu to give advice.
There is a saying that "two fists can't resist four hands, and a hero can't stand up to a lot of people", even if he gets Zhang Fei to Jingzhou, without the help of the deputy general, it is difficult to parry in the face of the surging Wei-Wu coalition army, and if you can bring Zhang Yi with you, try to bring it with you.
"Take a step to speak. β
Liu Dou said politely.
Zhang Yi saw that Liu Dou didn't look like he was hiding a murder weapon, so he cautiously walked to his side and said vigilantly: "What can't Zhang Gongzi say publicly?"
"I came to Ba County this time to see the third uncle and brought top-secret information. β
Liu Dou lowered his voice and said, "Mi Fang and Fu Shiren colluded with Wu Guo and conspired to sacrifice Jiangling, and General Guan is in danger. I specially asked the third uncle to rush to Jingzhou to sit in the town in the starry night, and it is estimated that General Zhang will also accompany you, so don't go elsewhere. β
"No way. β
Zhang Yi was taken aback, and his jaw almost dislocated.
You must know that Mi Fang is the wife and uncle of the king of Hanzhong, and his brother is also a powerful figure in Shu Han, and his status among civil officials is second only to Zhuge Liang and Fazheng.
"Where did the spy come from, take it down for me!"
After Zhang Yi was surprised, he drew his sword in his hand and put it against Liu Dou's throat, "Are you a spy sent by the Wu State or a spy sent by the Wei State? β
Liu Dou didn't resist either: "General Zhang, don't talk too much, this matter is very important, in case of delaying the loss of Jingzhou, I'm afraid you can't afford it." β
Zhang Yi hesitated.
"Does General Zhang think I'm not like the third uncle?"
Liu Dou asked again, deliberately touched his earlobes, and stretched out his arms above his knees.
"It looks like ......"
Thinking of that person, Zhang Yi was taken aback again, and the whole person suddenly felt a little bad.
"This matter is very important, and it is difficult for the general to judge, so I need to personally escort you to Langzhong to see General Yide. β
Zhang Yi thought for a moment and then made a decision.
Liu Dou agreed, "Then don't delay, as long as you don't tie my hands, you can dispose of it casually." β
Zhang Yi ordered the whole army to stand by on the spot, and he took thirty horsemen to escort Liu Dou and the others to Langzhong to meet Zhang Fei to confirm the authenticity of the matter.
"If you dare to say anything, I am afraid that you will die without an enemy. β
Before leaving, Zhang Yi once again warned Liu Dou to think carefully.
Liu Dou turned over and rode on everyone's favorite motorcycle, and said loudly: "General Zhang looks at the iron horse under my crotch to know if I am a trustworthy person." β
Zhang Yi nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, and strive to return to Langzhong before dark." β
Thirty horsemen formed an encirclement trend, surrounding Liu Dou and Deng Ai on the iron horse in the center, for fear of being escaped by them, and rushed along the post road towards Langzhong County.
Deng Ai knew that he couldn't leave if he wanted to leave at the moment, so he could only sit behind Liu Dou nervously, and he didn't know whether this trip was a curse or a blessing?
Taking advantage of the fact that the Shu soldiers on the left and right were not paying attention, he lowered his voice and asked, "Isn't Brother Tai's surname Liu, why does he claim to be the nephew of General Zhang Yide?"
"Exactly, General Zhang Yide is my third uncle. β
Liu Dou felt that the time was almost over, and it was time to confess his identity, even if Deng Ai wanted to run, he could still let him go?
"General Zhang is your third uncle?"
Deng Ai muttered for a moment and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and his face changed suddenly, "Could it be that you are a ...... of Hanzhong?"
"Shh......h
Liu Dou hurriedly reminded Deng Ai, "It's not appropriate to talk here, I'll tell my brother in detail when I go back." Shizai believes that the foolish brother will never harm you. β
At this point, what else could Deng Ai say, he could only smile bitterly: "My life was saved by Brother Liu, how dare I doubt it." β
With the escort of the Shu soldiers, Liu Dou couldn't ride too fast, so he could only slow down and follow the team.
This made Deng Ai intuitively see the contrast between the horse and the iron horse, and sighed again and again, "Brother Liu's iron horse is really a treasure, in comparison, the horse is as slow as a turtle." β
When the sun was waning, the group finally arrived at Langzhong County.
There were wings to open the way, and everyone passed through the city gate unimpeded, and came to a post house to station their horses.
Zhang Yi turned over and dismounted, and ordered Liu Dou to wait in front of the door: "You wait in front of the door for a while, and let me go and report to General Yide." β
"Hey!"
Liu Dou rubbed his hands a little cold, and happily agreed.
After three days of traveling, he finally wants to see Uncle Zhang, which can't help but make him both excited and a little apprehensive, whether he can restore the Han family in the future, point to the Central Plains, and reign over the world, it depends on how Zhang Fei chooses?
