Xiaxian County is located in the east of Jiangxia County, bordering Chaisang County. The county commander of Xia Pheasant County is named Lei Tong, who is Huang Zu's henchman, guarding Xia Pheasant County and resisting Jiangdong's attack.

Because of the special geographical location of Xiapheasant County, a military camp is stationed in the county, with more than 10,000 elite troops.

Barracks, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Lei Tong sat in the main seat, and Deng Zhan sat below.

Deng Zhan had an expectant look in his eyes, and said: "Lei County Order, I just got the news in Xia, the lord and General Wenpin are already on the way to Xia Pheasant County, and they are about to arrive at Monkey Back Ridge. In my opinion, we can lead our army there. ”

Welcoming Liu Xiu this time, Pang Tong was responsible for lobbying Huang Zu and letting Huang Zu lead the navy to swing a shot on the river to attract the attention of Zhou Yu and the Jiangdong navy.

The forces that really rescued Liu Xiu were led by Deng Zhan.

Deng Zhan led 800 elites, and after arriving in Xiapheasant County, they were stationed in the military camp of Leitong.

Lei Tong had already received Huang Zu's order and fully cooperated with Deng Zhan. Therefore, Lei Tong was extremely polite to Deng Zhan. Moreover, although Lei Tong is a rough man and does not read much, his brain is extremely smart.

Judging from all indications, Liu Xiu's ability is quite outstanding, and Liu Xiu's rise is already unstoppable. In such a situation, he helped Deng Zhan rescue Liu Xiu, and it was also an opportunity to befriend Liu Xiu.

Lei Tong smiled and said, "Deng Xiancheng, once there is a conflict in Monkey Back Ridge, 800 soldiers are afraid that it will be insufficient, so I will send 1,000 soldiers from the army to Monkey Back Ridge together." ”

Deng Zhan shook his head and said, "Lei County is kind, Deng Zhan is very grateful." It's just that we are heading to Monkey's Back Ridge, and it is not appropriate to make a big show. So, my eight hundred soldiers are enough. In the territory of Xia Pheasant County, Lei County Commander is familiar with the terrain and landform, and knows the strength of Jiangdong. ”

As soon as Lei Tong heard it, he was going to go, and he would be able to see Liu Xiu, which was undoubtedly the best result. He said: "Deng Xiancheng's analysis is reasonable, and I will lead the way for Deng Xiancheng." ”

Soon, Lei Tong and Deng Zhan set up a barracks and quickly headed for Monkey Back Ridge with eight hundred soldiers.

Monkey's back ridge is the junction of Xia Pheasant County and Chaisang.

This place is surrounded by mountains and the roads are narrow paths. The carriage of Liu Xiu and his party has lost its function and has long been abandoned. The group was in a hurry, and they all walked on foot.

Liu Xiu and his entourage pretended to be a caravan.

The soldiers were dressed plainly, some dressed as guards and others as coolies.

The team is moving slowly.

Along the way, Lu Su did not make trouble. Because he was always under Liu Xiu's control. If Liu Xiu couldn't master him, Liu Xiu would definitely kill him, which was not what Lu Su wanted to see.

In about a quarter of an hour, the narrow path gradually widened. Soon, it came to the border of the junction.

At the border, Zhou Yu set up a checkpoint, which was guarded by more than 100 Jiangdong soldiers.

Liu Xiu and the three of them wore hats on their heads, covering their appearance. As soon as the soldiers standing next to the checkpoint turned around, they saw Liu Xiu and the others from a distance, and shouted: "Then whoever is everyone, take off their hats and come over to check their appearance." ”

In the hands of the soldiers, they hold three portraits.

These three portraits are Liu Xiu, Lusu and Wen Ping.

Liu Xiu and the three still didn't take off their hats, and as the distance got closer, Wen Ping yelled: "Do it"

In an instant, the soldier immediately drew his steel knife and rushed forward.

After escaping all the way back from Jiangdong, the soldiers around Wen Ping were constantly decreasing, and there were only more than 30 people left. These more than 30 soldiers are all elites. One by one, they rushed forward without fear of death, and slashed and slashed among the Jiangdong soldiers who entered the border.

"It's Liu Xiu, it must be Liu Xiu and his party, hurry, catch Liu Xiu. ”

"Wen Ping is also here, catch him quickly. ”

Seeing this, the Jiangdong soldiers guarding the border town were extremely excited, and they raised their knives to meet the Jingzhou soldiers.

"Lord, Deng Zhan is here. ”

At the same time, in the territory of Pheasant County, Deng Zhan roared loudly and rushed out with an iron sword, and behind him, eight hundred soldiers rushed out and quickly rushed to the junction of the two counties.

Eight hundred soldiers appeared, turning the tide of the day.

Liu Xiuwenpin didn't even make a move, and Deng Zhan had easily solved the Jiangdong soldiers stationed in Chaisang.

When Lu Su saw this scene, he sighed lightly in his heart. Liu Xiu's preparation this time was too sufficient, not only in Jiangshang but also in Xiapheasant County, Liu Xiu made sufficient arrangements to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan.

After killing the Jiangdong soldiers, Deng Zhan stepped forward and saluted with his fists. Then, Deng Zhan waved his finger at Lei Tong and said, "My lord, this is the Lei Tong Lei County Order of Xia Pheasant County, and I was able to arrive smoothly this time, thanks to the help of the Lei County Order." ”

Lei Tong hurriedly said: "Xiaguan Lei Tong, I have seen Master Xiu." ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Lei County Order, thank you very much." ”

Lei Tong showed an excited look on his face, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "It is the honor of the lower officials to come to the rescue of the lower officials, and it is also what the lower officials should do, and it is just a gesture." This time the rescue was thanks to Deng Xiancheng. He sent people to keep an eye on Monkey's Back Ridge for twelve hours a day to make sure that he could greet the adults on time. ”

After a polite gesture, the group entered the territory of Xia Pheasant County.

After resting in Xiayan County for one night, early the next morning, Liu Xiu and his party left Xiaxian County and went to Xiling County, the seat of Jiangxia County.

Xiling County is located in the center of Jiangxia County in the north-south direction. To the east of Xiling County, there is Chaisang County. Because of this, Xiling County is a barrier to the east of Jiangxia County.

The city of the county is majestic and tall, and the city wall is as high as four zhang.

In the city, Huang Zu's army was stationed.

Outside the county seat, a flowing moat protects Xiling County. The moat is drawn from the Yangtze River, two zhang wide, the river is turbulent, and if you want to enter the city, you must put down the suspension bridge from the city to enter the city.

Liu Xiu came to the outside of Xiling County, and when he saw the county seat, he couldn't help but admire.

At the gate of the city, Huang Zupang lined up to greet him.

Huang Zu saw Liu Xiu, quickly greeted him, and arched his hand: "Jiangxia guards Huang Zu too much, meet Master Xiu." ”

Liu Xiu hurriedly said: "Huang is too polite, this time I was able to return to Jingzhou smoothly, thanks to Huang Taishou's arrangement." Otherwise, Ben Gongzi doesn't know when he will be able to come back. ”

Huang Zu said humbly: "It's all Xiu Gongzi's strategy, and the lower officials are just running errands and don't do anything." Xiu Gongzi, I have already set up a banquet in the house to catch the wind and wash the dust for Xiu Gongzi, please. ”

"Mrs. Huang please. ”

Liu Xiu bowed slightly, and went to the city with Huang Zu.

Taishou Mansion, guests and hosts are seated.

Huang Zu's eyes showed a curious look, and he said: "Jiangdong is full of dangers, and Gongzi Xiu is in a hinterland like Wu County. I don't know, how did Xiu Gongzi come back. ”

Now that Liu Xiu has successfully returned, the thrill of this journey is the capital of Liu Xiu's pride.

Huang Zu asked, it was to his liking.

Liu Xiu smiled slightly and replied: "During my stay in Wu County, the reason why I was able to come back smoothly was because of the strength of Jiangdong on the one hand, and on the other hand, I was able to come back smoothly because of proper planning. ”

Immediately, Liu Xiu briefly talked about the general plan and the things encountered.

After Huang Zu listened, he praised him: "The wisdom of the cultivator can only be looked up to. Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao are both incomparable, but they were played around by Gongzi Xiu, which is really exciting. ”

After a pause, Huang Zu said again: "Regarding Lu Su, what is the plan to do with Master Xiu?"

Liu Xiu said: "I don't know for the time being, after returning to Xiangyang, I will report to my father and ask my father to deal with it." ”

Huang Zu bowed slightly, and he no longer dwelled on the things that had been withdrawn. He ordered the food and drinks to be served, and soon, the delicious food and wine that had been prepared were placed on the table.

Huang Zu and Jiangxia officials congratulated Liu Xiu one after another.

Liu Xiu did not refuse, and talked and laughed with Huang Zu, and the atmosphere was very warm.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere is even higher. At this time, the relationship between the two sides gradually narrowed. After Huang Zu saluted Liu Xiu with a glass of wine, he said with some hesitation: "Master Xiu, there is one thing in the future, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Huang Taishou is okay to talk about. ”

Huang Zu said: "The youngest son Huang Hu is nearly 20 years old, and he is still in the house without accomplishing anything. In the next hope, he can follow Xiu Gongzi to go through the experience. ”

Liu Xiu laughed in his heart, Huang Zu's arrangement was equivalent to reaching an ally relationship with Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiudao: "When I leave tomorrow morning, let Huang Hu go to Xiangyang with me." Huang Tai guarded the door of Huzi, and expected that Huang Hu must be a hero. ”

Lu Su sat below, listening to the words of Huang Zu and Liu Xiu, and sighed lightly in his heart. He originally thought that Liu Xiu was born as a concubine, and he had great limitations. Now it seems that even if Liu Xiu is a concubine, the Taishou of various counties are still competing to make friends and have a good relationship with Liu Xiu.

It will not be too difficult for Liu Xiu to take charge of Jingzhou
