Chapter 188: Old Acquaintances

Liu Qi was about to dismount, but Lu Su held him down, hoarsely voiced, and said loudly: "The general's great achievement is worthy of celebration by all the troops, and Su leads the horse for the general." ”

Liu Qi hurriedly said: "How can this be made?" ”

"Otherwise, it's not enough to express our gratitude!"

Lu Su was very stubborn, leading his mount and bringing Liu Qi from the camp gate to the front of the Chinese army's tent, and Wu Jun cheered.

Zhao Yun had already quietly dismounted, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, letting Liu Qi accept Wu Jun's worship alone.

Since he was ordered to follow Liu Qi, although he has been loyal and recognized his ability through the Battle of Nanyang, he has always felt a layer of estrangement in his heart.

This time, they came to Jiangdong together, often practiced swordsmanship, and found that Liu Qi was not as gentlemanly as those children of the family, and he was not proud because of his promotion to the rank of knight, but became more and more diligent and hardworking.

Running in the camp before dawn every day, doing some movements that he couldn't understand, and he also had a very high understanding of swordsmanship, and in just one month, he was able to launch a counterattack against himself.

After this battle, Zhao Yun was completely convinced, and realized that he had always felt that Liu Qi relied on Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and others, but he was mediocre, and even loved money and lust, which was a bit vulgar.

Today, Fang knows that Liu Qi is not bold, and he is also resourceful, in the face of Cao Ren's tens of thousands of troops, he talks and laughs freely, and calmly retreats, what kind of courage is this?

Lu Su not only thanked Liu Qi for this, but also to boost morale, and when he arrived at the tent, he immediately ordered the soldiers to return to the camp to defend, and ordered to send people back to guard the camp.

Liu Qi said: "Cao Ren retreated, and was shot by Zilong, he will not dare to come again!" The Metropolitan Governor is chasing and killing the Cao thief with all his might, and there is no need to interfere. ”

Lu Su thought about it, helped Liu Qi to get off the horse, and hugged his fists again and said: "Jiangdong is safe, all the generals are alone!" ”

Liu Qi pointed at Zhao Yun who was following and laughed: "If it weren't for Zilong's deterrence, how would Cao Ren be willing to retreat?" ”

Lu Su bowed to Zhao Yun again: "Thank you, General Zilong!" ”

"How dare you!" Zhao Yun hurriedly returned the salute, he had never been so respected by celebrities, and he seemed at a loss for the first time.

Liu Qi smiled with relief on the side, this move seemed dangerous, but in fact, he also had confidence in his heart, with Zhao Yun here, at least there was no problem in saving his life, so he naturally had to give it a go.

If he was the only one in the camp, he would have slipped away a long time ago, so what did he care about the safety of Jiangdong?

If you really work hard, with Sun Quan's urine, maybe you will be sent to Jingzhou soon, and you will probably be called a brother-in-law to help your son-in-law!

Lu Su relaxed at this time, only to realize that his body was soaked with sweat, and asked Liu Qi to go back to the camp to rest and wash himself.

As soon as it was dark, I saw Liu Pan come back with 500 troops first, and they captured Qibaoshan Dazhai, obtained countless grains and grasses, and 8,000 war horses.

Although the land south of the Yangtze River is rich, it has a huge disadvantage, that is, there are no horses, and cavalry is the most scarce strategic resource for Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

Liu Pan rushed back overnight, just worried that Dongwu would divide these horses, and came to discuss with Liu Qi.

"Whoever takes the supplies belongs to whom!" Liu Qi took it for granted and ordered: "The war here is over, rest for a day, and you will transport this batch of materials back to Jiangxia, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Liu Pan nodded, and said with a smile: "This attack on the camp, I captured an enemy general, and I am still an old acquaintance. ”

Beckoning to the door, he saw the soldier escorting a man in, with a dishesive beard and a smell of wine.

When the man came in, he knelt down and begged for mercy: "General Liu, it's me...... For General Zhang's sake, don't kill me! ”

"Xiahou Nan?" Liu Qi was a little surprised, and said unhappily: "Prince Xiahou is the uncle of General Yide, how can you treat him like this?" Why don't you loosen your ties, take a seat? ”

Liu Pan comprehended, personally untied Xiahou Nan, arranged to sit down, and ordered someone to watch the wine suppress the shock.

Xiahou Nan thanked him again and again, and when he saw the wine being served, he immediately waved his hands around: "Don't drink it, never drink it again!" ”

Liu Qi was puzzled: "Childe didn't go to Xiangyang to redeem the sword, how could he be in the Huainan Army again?" ”

Xiahou Nan suddenly beat his chest and scolded the defenders of Qibao Mountain, he thought that he would redeem the Qingyu Sword and offer a series of schemes, which would be reused by Cao Cao, but he did not expect to be arranged to take care of the grain and grass in the West Cottage.

Idle in the camp, listening to the water training all day long, depressed, so he drank alone, who knew that when he woke up, he became a prisoner, and when Cao Jun fled, no one came to wake him up.

Liu Qi said angrily: "Fortunately, Gongzi was captured by my Jingzhou army, everyone knows you, if you meet Wu Jun, I am afraid that you will be in a different place." ”

Xiahou Nan was stunned, stopped his sorrowful voice, and hurriedly hugged his fist to Liu Pan: "Thank you for the general's grace not to kill." ”

Liu Pan hugged his arms and sneered: "Who said they wouldn't kill you?" ”

Xiahou Nan stepped forward and begged Liu Qi for mercy: "General Liu, for the sake of the past friendship, let go of the next time, how about it?" ”

Liu Qi shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I have always been soft-hearted, and it is not easy to explain to the third uncle if I kill you......"

"Exactly!" Xiahou Nan nodded again and again, "The general's great grace, there will be a good reward in the future,"

"But if I let you go like this, how can I explain to the soldiers who fought in blood?"

Liu Qi frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "That's it, according to the old rules, you go back to Jingzhou first and let Prime Minister Cao Cheng redeem people, how about it?" ”

"No, no, no, this won't work!" Xiahou Nan waved his hand again and again, twisted his fingers and said with a dry smile: "I just don't want the prime minister to know...... If you are captured, please ask the general for mercy! ”

"That's going to be hard!" Liu Qi frowned, "Wouldn't it break the rules by telling me to let people go for nothing?" ”

Xiahou Nan begged for mercy with a crying voice: "General Liu, I just redeemed the Qingyu Sword in Xia, raised my eyebrows, if I become a prisoner again, I will be ashamed of everyone in Xuchang, and I will not be able to raise my head for the rest of my life!" ”

Liu Pan shouted: "Xiahou Nan, you don't want to make an inch!" If you don't know what to do, you will be on the ground now. ”

"Don't!" Xiahou Nan knelt on the ground with a pout, walked on his knees, and grabbed Liu Qi's trouser legs: "General Wanwang bypassed me this time, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life, and a grass ring!" ”

"Now live well, what are you talking about in the afterlife?" Liu Qi picked up Xiahou Nan and said helplessly: "You can come to redeem the sword, it shows that you are a righteous person, then you can redeem yourself yourself, okay?" ”

Xiahou Nan was stunned and said, "What does this mean? ”

Liu Qi said: "I can let you go, but you have to make another note and return the ransom as soon as possible." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Xiahou Nan nodded again and again, and his chest was pounding: "I, Xiahou Nan, have a good word, and it is difficult to chase the horse." ”

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows and stretched out a finger: "Ransom one million!" ”

"Huh?" Xiahou Nan was so shocked that he took two steps back, and his eyes widened: "You want this...... So much? ”

"What? The eldest son of the famous general Xiahou and the son-in-law of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, isn't it worth this value? ”

Liu Qi glared at Xiahou Nan, and suddenly smiled again: "There is also a hush money in this, and the prince doesn't want to be captured, so Ling Zun and the prime minister know about it, right?" ”

"I ......," Xiahou Nan looked pained, "but I don't have that much money?" ”

"I can limit it for another half a year!" Liu Qi waved his hand very generously and said with a cordial smile: "As long as you make a note, I will immediately send someone to send you to Qibao Mountain overnight, and tomorrow you can fatten back with the defeated army." ”

"Okay, I'll write!" Xiahou Nan gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves and shouted tragically: "Bring a pen and paper!" ”
