After bidding farewell to his brother Hawking, Huo Yi set off for Zongmaxi.

It's just that he has just come to this era, and he only has unilateral stirrups, and the galloping of war horses makes it a little difficult for him to grasp the balance.

In addition, the saddle is relatively rudimentary, and the rough road surface also makes it bumpy.

It's simply that the original owner has been skilled in bowing horses since he was a child, but he gradually got used to it after galloping for a while.

Running all the way to Yidao, Huo Yi inquired with the soldiers guarding the city, only to know that Mi Zhu and his party had just arrived along Yishui Road, and then turned to Yiling by land.

He immediately chased after him without stopping.

Shortly after the road, it was getting dark.

In the dark night sky, there is a crescent moon hanging around, and there are several stars around it.

After running for most of the day, Huo Yi found that the fire in front of him was dense and crowded, and he immediately followed with a look of great joy on his face.

The sound of horses' hooves galloping in the dark night undoubtedly made all the soldiers in front of them tremble in their hearts.

"General Mi, is it late at night, could it be a thief, should you be on guard?"

The commander of the pro-soldiers quickly ran to the side of the sixty-year-old man with gray sideburns, a rich and kind face, and was dressed in luxurious silk and satin, and asked him.

"No need, I'm about to arrive in Yiling, and there are no thieves in Jingzhou who have the courage to attack us."

"Let everyone be patient a little longer, let's go in and rest."

This old man is naturally a high-ranking and powerful An Han general Mi Zhu, who is the head of the ministers, and he shook his head and waved his hand after hearing this.

"Yes,"

After receiving the order, the group did not stop and continued to march.

Huo Yi quickly rushed over, but it was difficult to see his face clearly in the dark night, and the previous commander of the pro-soldiers shouted sharply after breaking the knife:

"We are General Anhan's attendants, why are you chasing after you?"

"This general is Huo Yi, the new general of the king of Hanzhong, and he has discussed with General Mi on important matters, and he hopes to return as soon as possible!"

When the words fell, Huo Yi gasped slightly and responded in a loud voice.

"Huh? Is it really General Huo? ”

"Exactly~"

"Please wait a moment, and go to General An Han immediately."

When the commander of the guards heard this, he didn't dare to have the slightest hint of slackness on his face, and responded with his hands.

After waiting for about half a sound, as the sound of the crowd came out, "Can it be Shaoxian?" ”

"It's down there!"

Huo Yi heard that this was Mi Zhu's tone, and hurriedly rode to his side and dismounted in response.

Seeing that it was really Huo Yi chasing after him, Mi Zhu looked puzzled, "The king ordered General Huo to succeed his father as General Pi and led his headquarters to Fancheng to assist General Guan in breaking the enemy, why did he come to pursue Lao Yu late at night?" ”

As soon as these words fell, Huo Yi suddenly showed a solemn look on his face, and bowed his hand and said:

"Now Jingzhou will be in danger of overturning, and General Mi is heavily valued by the king, so Yi specially rushed to ask you to return to Jiangling to control the overall situation and stabilize the situation."

"Huh? Danger in the rear? What does this mean? ”

As soon as these words came out, a look of displeasure appeared in Mi Zhu's eyes.

Huo Yi was a human being in two lifetimes, and his ability to observe words and emotions was good, so he naturally noticed his expression, which was Mi Zhu's dissatisfaction with him questioning his younger brother's ability to guard the territory.

"General Mi is like this, because the Sun clan in the east had planned to seize the counties in the south of the Yangtze River a few years ago, so this time when General Guan was conquering Xiangfan, he sent his eyes and ears to investigate the movements downstream."

"Sure enough, I really found out that Jiangdong was reorganizing and fighting, and wanted to take advantage of the emptiness in the rear of our army to come to a sneak attack."

"If General Mi doesn't sit in Jiangling, I'm afraid that Jingzhou will lose!"

As early as along the way, Huo Yi thought about the words of the answer, and replied quite calmly at this moment.

"Since General Huo has found out about Jiangdong's military situation and wants to sneak attack, shouldn't he immediately send someone to the front line to report to General Guan that he knows about it, so that he quickly gave up attacking Fancheng and led his troops to help, why did he come to chase me late at night?"

After hearing this, Mi Zhu couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "What's more, there is still Nanjun Taishou in Jiangling." ”

Hearing this, Huo Yi's expression was solemn, and he shook his head and said, "Jiangling is hundreds of miles away from Xiangfan, and the Jiangdong Lukou camp downstream is close at hand, and it will only take a few days to attack against the river, how can General Guan be in time?" ”

"It's because Nanjun is too guarded to guard the rear, and Yi will say that Jingzhou is in danger."

"What do you mean by that?"

When Mi Zhu heard this, he thought that he didn't trust his younger brother, so he suddenly asked angrily.

"General Mi doesn't need to be angry, you misunderstood what Yi meant."

Seeing this, Huo Yi hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "You may not know the situation in Jingzhou if you have been in Shu for a long time. ”

"Since the death of Jiangdong Governor Lu Su and the replacement of Lu Meng in Lukou, rumors soon spread in Jingzhou that General Guan and Nanjun Taishou had a gap and disagreed."

"This matter is also widely spread among the counties, and almost everyone knows about it!"

"Wu General Lu Meng has always been good at attacking the heart, and Yi guesses that this move must be a rumor spread by him secretly, intending to shake the hearts of our people, so as to wait for the opportunity to attack the state and county."

"Now Jingzhou is in the whirlpool, and General Guan is out again, and Yi is afraid that Nanjun is too stubborn to cope with the treacherous and changeable situation."

"And General Mi has been fighting in the south and north with the king for a long time, with very rich qualifications and high prestige, this time you are personally sitting in Jiangling, which will definitely deter the internal Xiaoxiao, so that Lu Meng's trick of trying to confuse Jingzhou with rumors has nothing to hide, and it will be self-defeating."

When the words fell, Huo Yi did not look annoyed, and patiently analyzed the current situation in Jingzhou in detail.

Hearing Huo Yi's story, Mi Zhu could feel the hidden crisis behind Jingzhou after a little measurement in his heart, and his face eased.

"That being the case, how about the old man rest for the night before the Yiling in front of him, and then set off for Gangneung tomorrow?"

"That's great!"

Huo Yi saw that he persuaded Mi Zhu, and the originally tense heartstrings relaxed.

He knew very well that at present, the only person who could prevent Mi Fang from surrendering the city to Jiangling as in the original history was Mi Zhu, who came to deliver the king's order.

However, although he knew that Mi Fang would rebel, he did not tell the truth.

After all, there is no evidence of Mi Fang's substantive surrender at present, and he is afraid that it will backfire and provoke Mi Zhu to make a big deal if he says it rashly.

Therefore, Huo Yi only persuaded with the crisis-ridden situation in Jingzhou this time.

Leave him in Jingzhou first, and then make a decision on how to avoid Mi Fang's surrender in Kaicheng.

"Then General Huo and I will leave for the east tomorrow?"

As the matter was negotiated, Mi Zhu asked with a calm face.

"Now that the matter is urgent, there is a risk that the rear will be raided by Jiangdong at any time, and Yi must return immediately to assist in the garrison."

"General Mi can rush back later."

It is now the season of October and winter, and Huo Yi knows very well that Jingzhou may be lost at any time, so he quickly responded, and did not intend to stay and delay time.
