It is said that it is a few days, but in fact it is only three days, and the time is tight and the task is heavy.

The sky was slightly bright, and the soldiers in the barracks began to get busy, packing up the necessary weapons, food, grass, baggage and other things. The new recruits directly acted as auxiliaries, helping the veterans to share the task of carrying supplies.

The Huo Xiong brothers led the guards to pack up Huo Jun's belongings, blankets, clothes, documents, maps, and sand tables. The more soldiers there are, the more paperwork they have in the army. In the army, these documents and grain and grass expenditures were basically entered and written by Huo Jun himself.

There is no way, the grass platform team has not been built for a long time, and the number of soldiers has increased too much, and those scribes have not had time to match. Looking at the piled up documents, Huo Jun couldn't help but grow his head.

"Join the army, Xuncheng Liu Youzhi asks to see!" The attendant said.

"Bring him in!"

In the middle of the night, Liu Zhong, who was wearing a long sword at his waist and hips, walked into the tent and arched his hand and said, "Meet General Zhonglang!" ”

"Today, the army will be moved to the front line, and there will be labor and rank in recruiting troops in the past few days." Facing Liu Zhong's coming, Huo Jun also said hello and said, "I don't know what is the important matter for Liu Youzhi to come?" ”

In the half month since he was recruited, Liu Zhong has contributed a lot. took the generals under Huo Jun's tent to walk all over the mountains and fields to endorse Huo Jun's recruitment. I don't know what the purpose is, but I want to thank you for it.

Liu Zhong hesitated for a long time and said, "I don't know if there is still a shortage of manpower under General Zhonglang?" Loyal to the rough reading of the scriptures, know the method of arithmetic, proficient in the case of official documents, or for the Zhonglang general. ”

Hearing this, Huo Jun was overjoyed, he was still worried that there were too many paperwork and he needed to take care of it himself, so he would be a reliable scribe today.

As the chief executive of Daxiang, Liu Zhong has no doubt about his administrative ability. It can be seen from the recruitment of soldiers in the past few days that he has a good reputation in the township, otherwise it would be difficult to help him recruit such soldiers. Moreover, Liu Zhong's joining the army can also have a pacifying effect on those Xuncheng soldiers who have just enlisted in the army.

After a little silence, Huo Jun said: "There is a shortage of scribes under a certain account, but I don't know why Liu Youzhi joined our army?" ”

Liu Zhong didn't see the outside, and said truthfully: "I saw the general's department, the military discipline is strict, since entering Xuncheng, the tent corporal has not committed any crime, which is rare in the world." If the general does not give up, he is willing to ride ten horsemen with his clan and run for the general. ”

Of course, Liu Zhong's reason is not only this, he can remember that Sun Ce entered Yuzhang and a bunch of people rushed to take refuge first, and his official position was promoted. Now that there is another war in Yuzhang, it is better to take this opportunity to fight for fame in the army.

Hearing that Liu Zhong was still enlisting with ten cavalrymen, Huo Jun's smile became brighter and brighter, and he said, "How can you abandon each other!" There is still a lack of master book under the account, and if the minister does not give up, he can be left to do so for the time being. ”

Ten cavalry is a big deal, Huo Jun has nearly 2,000 people, and the cavalry is only in the early tens. Liu Zhong joined the gang and brought ten cavalrymen, which was really not small.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness!" Liu Zhong said.

After chatting a little, Liu Zhong quickly entered the role and served the army before and after the saddle.

"Join the army, General Zuo's letter!"

Soon after Liu Zhong left, the scout presented Liu Bei's letter.

Huo Jun opened it and took a look, only to see Liu Bei telling the current battle situation in the letter. Previously, when Liu Bei's army first arrived in Haidu, he asked Chen Zhi and Wen Ping to lead the elite and attack Tai Shici's station at night to see if they could quickly defeat Tai Shici. As a result, Tai Shici's camp was strong, and the two of them could not overcome it.

Liu Bei saw that he couldn't break Tai Shici quickly, so in order to help Huo Jun, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others gain time, he also considered that he had few soldiers. In order to contain Tai Shici, the special soldier died in the camp with many banners, and let Wen Ping invite him to fight, which has confused Tai Shici.

Sure enough, as Liu Bei expected, after Tai Shici was attacked, he wanted to lead his troops to counterattack, but he learned that Liu Bei led the troops, so he didn't dare to underestimate it. Tai Shici was worried about Liu Bei's deception and did not dare to fight.

For a time, although Liu Bei and Liu Qi were few soldiers, they suppressed Tai Shici with Liu Bei's ability to command the army, making Liu Qi call his uncle awesome.

Then, Tai Shici learned that Liu Pan and Huang Zhong successively conquered Ai County and Xi'an (now Wuning County, Jiujiang) along Xiushui, and marched from the west to Haidu, and there were signs of outflanking and breaking.

Tai Shici, who has fought with Liu Pan, knows Huang Zhong's courage and good fighting, and Liu Pan's military ability. He also learned that the counties around Poyang Lake were broken, and Huang Zu mastered the Poyang Lake basin. Without knowing the details of Liu Bei, after Tai Shi Ci thought hard, he chose to give up Haiduan for the sake of conservatism and retreated south to Jiaoqiu City.

Jiaoqiu City is located in the northeast of Nanchang. Obviously, Tai Shi Ci is preparing to unite with Yuzhang Taishou Sun Ben and Luling Taishou Sun Fu.

Seeing Tai Shi Ci's withdrawal, Liu Pan took the initiative to ask Ying to lead his troops to catch up, Liu Bei thought that Tai Shi Ci was brave and strategic, and the withdrawal of the army today must be guarded and cannot be pursued. Liu Pan did not listen to Liu Bei's advice and led his troops to chase Tai Shici. As a result, he was defeated by Tai Shici, losing nearly 2,000 people, but fortunately Huang Zhong desperately rescued him, and Liu Pan was able to break out of the encirclement.

On the way to Jiaoqiu City, Tai Shici met Yuzhang Taishou Sun Ben, who led troops to support, and learned that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were recruiting troops, and suddenly felt that Liu Bei did not have many soldiers under his account, and he was deceived. Then he joined forces with Yuzhang Taishou Sun Ben and went north again. On the south bank of the Ganshui River, confront the combined forces.

Sun Ben and Tai Shici combined more than 20,000 people, and at the same time, Sun Fu, the Taishou of Luling, led five or six thousand people down the Ganshui River, and they were also on the way.

The combined army of the three divisions was close to 30,000 people, which made the combined army a little breathless. Liu Bei hurriedly wrote a letter to Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Guan Yu, and Huo Jun and asked them to lead troops to support the Haiyang battlefield.

Huo Jun closed the letter and looked not very good-looking, Tai Shici, Sun Ben, and Sun Fu joined forces, with a strength of nearly 30,000. If his expectations are not bad, Sun Quan of Wu County has basically received the news, and he does not know when to send troops, so he must rush to Haiduan as soon as possible to see if he can find an opportunity to turn the situation of the war around.

"Quick!"

Huo Jun received the letter in his arms and called on his subordinates to carry the supplies to the ship as soon as possible.

In Huo Jun's urging, the movements of the soldiers in the battalion were obviously faster.

……

Sea dusk, outside the combined barracks.

A knight with ape-long arms and heavy armor stood in front of the cavalry, holding the reins in his left hand and holding a bow in his right hand. The autumn wind blew, and the red feather on his hood swayed in the wind, and the expression under his helmet was majestic and solemn, and the eyes as sharp as a falcon flashed with a dancing light. Obviously, this is a strong general who runs on the battlefield, and his shooting skills are amazing.

He waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him galloped out with him. The cavalry stopped outside the range of the barracks, and at the signal of the general, everyone shouted loudly: "We have never heard of Xuande Gong's bravery, why don't we dare to go out of the camp to fight now?" ”

After shouting for a long time, everyone changed their lines and shouted: "The people who weave shoes and sell shoes, vainly claim to be noble, and they still don't go out of the camp to fight with us." ”

"Lord!"

In the camp, Chen Zhi heard the insults of Tai Shici's subordinates, and was filled with righteous indignation, and said: "I am willing to lead my troops to fight." ”

Liu Bei raised his arm and stopped and said: "This is Ziyi's provocative words, you can't fall for it, the enemy is outnumbered, Ziyi is brave and sharp, and you can't be defeated." ”

Suddenly, Tai Shici, a member of the cavalry outside the camp, lightly lifted the reins, rode out of the horse, and galloped along the front of the camp, the horse was as fast as the wind. Galloping, I saw Tai Shi Ci's ape arms stretched lightly, bent the bow and arrows, and stared at the 'Liu' flagpole on the camp with eagle-like eyes.

"Whoosh!"

The moment the string is released, the bow is like a thunderbolt, and the arrow is like a meteor.

"Click!"

In the frightened eyes of everyone, Tai Shici's arrow actually broke the wooden pole on the flag, and the 'Liu' flag fell. Everyone was frightened, but Tai Shi Ci laughed and walked away.

"Uncle!"

Liu Qi had never seen such a battle, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in fear: "Tai Shi Ci's archery skills are amazing, and he is really a ghost!" ”

A veteran in the crowd who was not good-looking looked was shocked, he was also a good bowman, but he knew how difficult Tai Shici's arrow was.

Seeing this, Liu Bei's hand holding the wooden fence tightened, but his face was calm and said: "Ziyi's archery skills are not as good as Lu Bu, but they are also of the highest grade!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei turned his head to look at Liu Qi and comforted, "Please rest assured, eldest son!" Yun Chang and Yide both have the courage of 10,000 enemies, and when the two of them lead their troops to come, Tai Shi Ci should not dare to be murderous! ”

Tai Shi Ci rode away, and led the crowd to insult for a long time, and when he saw that Liu Bei was not out, he led the team back to the camp.

Yuzhang Taishou Sun Ben greeted him and said with a smile: "Ziyi is really brave!" ”

Tai Shici didn't rejoice, but said earnestly: "Today's arrow is just a small skill, not worth mentioning. Liu Bei also has fierce generals under his account, such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, whose brave champions of the three armies, and the warriors of the tigers, Ci must also avoid its edge, which should not be underestimated. ”

"Ziyi is humble!"

Although Sun Ben smiled and didn't care, he wrote down the names of Guan and Zhang in his heart.
