The turmoil in Yuyang City was quickly quelled, and afterwards, the Shadow Team members swept away all kinds of suspicious forces that did not belong to the Jin Kingdom through open investigation and secret visits, and completely eliminated them.

Sun Zhan, the state pastor, was unable to serve due to illness, and all government affairs were handed over to Sima Zhi, who was engaged in governance, and all military affairs were handed over to Zhao Yun to be responsible.

A few days later, Zhao Xing left Yuyang under the escort of the dragoons and went to Quanzhou Naval City, which was being expanded, to inspect the work. This time, only Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and Pang Tong were left with him, and the others were either unable to accompany Zhao Xing because they were entangled in official business, such as Zhao Yun, Cui Yan and others, or because of their status, it was inconvenient to follow Zhao Xing to continue south, such as Ma Chao and some female dependents.

Affected by the Yuyang riots some time ago, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei attached great importance to Zhao Xing's safety along the way, not only strengthening the strict investigation of the terrain around the road, but also protecting the Chinese army tent where Zhao Xing was located.

From Yuyang to Quanzhou, you need to follow the dipping water all the way to the south, and pass through three places in the middle, such as Anle, Luxian, and Yongnu, and the road is more than 200 miles.

When Zhao Xing's team arrived at Yongnu, most of the journey was over, and the army camped outside the Yongnu countryside to rest. At this time, it was early winter, the weather was getting colder, and the deciduous trees on both sides of the road were bare and lifeless, leaving only thin branches swaying in the howling cold wind.

Zhao Xing, who was sitting in the tent, was talking about the current situation with Pang Tong and Zhang Liao, although Zhao Xing had not officially disclosed his overall plan, Zhang Liao and Pang Tong had already smelled the smell of an impending battle from his somewhat abnormal actions along the way.

As soon as he arrived in Yuyang, Zhao Xing secretly met with Xu Shu, the commander of the Xiong Zhen Army, who was originally stationed in Youbeiping, and Lu Bu, Li Tiezhu and Guan Ping of the Flying Tiger Army who were wandering outside the Great Wall north of Yuyang, and also sent shadow team members to send an urgent letter to Li Jinwu, the commander of the Xiongwu Army who was stationed in Fanyang, Zhuo County, ordering him to secretly rush to Yongnu to meet.

Now there are Xiong Zhen Army, Xiongwu Army, Flying Tiger Army, as well as a total of 80,000 horses of the Dragoon Army and Dingyuan Army stationed in Youzhou, if you add more than 10,000 people in Quanzhou, which is expanding rapidly, it is almost equivalent to half of the total strength of the Jin State. It is absolutely extraordinary that Youzhou, which is calm and quiet, suddenly and secretly assembles so many soldiers and horses, if Zhang Liao and Pang Tong's speculation is correct, then Zhao Xing is ready to make a move against Yuan Shao this time.

While several people were talking, Dian Wei suddenly walked in from outside and whispered to Zhao Xing: "Commander Li has arrived, but he still has one person with him." ”

When Zhao Xing heard Dian Wei's words, his heart moved. He knew that although Dian Wei looked silly on the outside, he was actually as careful as a hair, and he would definitely not say a word of nonsense at this time, since he reminded himself that Li Jinwu had brought a person, then this person was absolutely important. So Zhao Xing said: "First settle the guests brought by Commander Li and let him come in to see me." ”

Not long after, Li Jinwu, who had a dusty face, walked into Zhao Xing's tent, and saw that except for Pang Tong, who was a little strange in the tent, the rest of Zhang Liao and Dian Wei were all old acquaintances in the ring in the past, so he said in a loud voice: "Brother Xing, on this cold day, why did you come to the south of Youzhou?

Li Jinwu is Zhao Xing's cousin, and he is also the first good brother to follow Zhao Xing to fight the world, and belongs to Zhao Xing's absolutely trustworthy lineage. Because of this, Zhao Xing has deliberately cultivated and reused him over the years, and now he and Jia Mu have led 20,000 Xiongwu troops to be stationed in the Fanyang area, not only to prevent the harassment of the Montenegrin army, but also to deter Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

However, Li Jinwu himself did work hard, and he was not arrogant because he was the brother of Zhao Xing's cousin.

Zhao Xing motioned for Li Jinwu to sit down and drink a few sips of hot tea first, but he was not in a hurry to talk about business.

Li Jinwu was not polite, and after sitting down and pouring a few sips of tea, he gasped and said, "I heard that there was a riot in Yuyang City a few days ago?"

Zhao Xing said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Your news is very fast, as soon as the riot subsided, I came south with my men and horses, and many people should not have learned about it yet." ”

Li Jinwu said to Zhao Xing with a smug face: "Hehe, it's not that my news came quickly, it's mainly that someone reported to me in advance!"

Zhang Liao, who was on the side, was not happy after hearing this, glared at Li Jinwu and said, "Brother Jinwu, it's too much for you to do this." If you know that there are evil people who are causing trouble, why don't you warn us in advance?"

Li Jinwu didn't get angry when he heard Zhang Liao's words, and continued: "Who said that I didn't want to warn me, mainly because I only found out about this two days ago, and the matter must have happened at that time, and I received a secret letter from Brother Xing before I had time to warn, asking me to rush to Yongnu for a secret meeting." ”

Zhao Xing asked Li Jinwu with great interest: "Could it be that you have a little Zhuge who can pinch and calculate?

Li Jinwu listened to Zhao Xing's words, first paused for a moment, and then said: "Who is Xiao Zhuge ? I haven't heard of it! But I really let you guess it, I have not only won a fierce general, but also tens of thousands of horses!"

When everyone heard Li Jinwu's words, they were all stunned, and they felt that it was too unbelievable.

Seeing the wonderful expressions on everyone's faces, Li Jinwu became even more proud, and said with a smile: "Brother Xing, you must not have thought that I would get rid of Zhang Yan on the black!"

"What?, Zhang Yan was taken care of by you?" Zhao Xing exclaimed a little speechlessly. No wonder Zhao Xing was so surprised, the news was too shocking. Although Zhang Yan of Montenegro has been deflated in front of the Jin army many times and has also lost a lot of men and horses, according to the intelligence analysis brought back by the shadow spying, there are still at least 50,000 or so Montenegrin troops lurking in the vast Taihang Mountains. Although the combat power of the Xiongwu Army is much higher than that of the Montenegrin Army, it is really an exaggeration to want to swallow Zhang Yan's 50,000 bandit-born Montenegrin Army with 20,000 horses.

Zhao Xing knew that his cousin would definitely not tell jokes to entertain everyone at this time, so he said solemnly: "Pick up the key points and tell you what happened." ”

Li Jinwu also knew the severity, and no longer laughed and laughed, but according to the standard actions of the soldiers reported by his subordinates to the commander-in-chief, he reported very concisely: "Since I led the army to garrison Fanyang last year, I have sent my henchmen to the depths of Montenegro to secretly contact Zhang Yan and persuade him to defect to the Jin State. For the last time before the matter was reached, the military advisor Jia Mu personally went to Montenegro to meet Zhang Yan and urged the matter to come true. Some time ago, Zhang Yan received an urgent letter from Yuan Shao's secret envoy, and felt that Yuyang might have an accident, so he went out of the mountain to see me, and just as I was about to come to meet you, I brought him with me!"

Li Jinwu's words are concise and to the point, and basically the context of the matter has been explained very clearly. Although he said it lightly, everyone who heard it showed appreciation. Being able to get in touch with Zhang Yan silently, remove a difficult opponent and hidden danger for the Jin Kingdom, and add an army that can be unprepared, this great credit cannot be overstated!

"Brother Jinwu's ingenuity in this matter is really a miracle!" Zhang Liao rubbed his palms with some excitement, as if he would soon be able to come to the city of Jizhou and realize his dream for many years.

"Since Zhang Yan dares to follow you to see me, it means that he is sincere in joining the Jin Kingdom, and we can't be lazy, you go and invite him to my account, some things are just to be explained clearly in person, and they will be settled today!" Zhao Xing also said excitedly.
