Chapter 135 The military advisor can go find Zhao Zilong

Zhou Xing bid farewell to Sun Yao and his daughter, put on a knight costume, held a long sword, and led four people also dressed as knights to Liu Bei's house.

These four people are his bodyguards.

When going to Jizhou, you have to pass through Yuan Tan's territory, and you may even encounter Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses. When you arrive in Jizhou, it is the Yuan family's world. Dress up as a ranger because you don't want to attract attention.

"Will the military advisor only take four people with him?"

Liu Bei asked in surprise when he saw that there were only four people behind Zhou Xing.

"A large number of people attracts attention. Four people are enough."

Zhou Xing himself is not weak in military force. He can handle danger by himself. He does not need to bring too many people. He only needs to take four people with him. If something happens, someone can send a message.

"It's better to let Ziyi go with the military advisor." Liu Bei was a little worried about Zhou Xing's safety.

"No, Yuan Tan's troops are about to attack. It's time for the Lord to recruit people. Ziyi is brave and intelligent, and is worthy of being a general. He must stay to help the Lord resist the enemy."

In normal times, it would be nice to have Taishi Ci go with him, but now that Yuan Tan's troops are approaching, how can Taishi Ci leave?

Liu Bei took two steps forward and held Zhou Xing's hands: "The journey here is dangerous. When we reach Jizhou, the military advisor must be more careful. When you see Zhang Yan, it would be good if you can persuade him. If not, the military advisor should not stay long and come back immediately."

, so as not to be known to the Yuan family."

"Wife and children at home, military advisor, don't worry, I will take good care of them!" Liu Bei still held Zhou Xing's hands, paused for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, looked at him and said, "In addition, when the military advisor arrives in Jizhou, if there is a chance, he can

Chang Shanzhen is definitely looking for someone, that is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong whom I often mention to my military advisor."

In fact, even if Liu Bei didn't mention it, when Zhou Xing arrived in Jizhou, he would definitely go to Changshan Zhending to look for Zhao Yun if he had the opportunity. Now that he has decided not to cling to development, he must recruit talents. How can he miss a talent like Zhao Yun?

But now that Gongsun Zan has not yet perished, Zhou Xing is not sure whether he can persuade Zhao Yun to surrender.

Liu Bei continued: "If we can see Zhao Zilong, the military advisor can persuade him to come to Beihai with him. Zilong's bravery is comparable to that of Yun Changyide. If we can get his help, the great cause will be accomplished quickly. With the wisdom of the military advisor, I believe that we should

If you can persuade him, military advisor, I will wait for you in Qingzhou!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I will go find Zhao Zilong and try my best to persuade him to help my lord!"

"Come on, military advisor, be careful on the road!"

Liu Bei said, but still held Zhou Xing's hands tightly, his eyes full of reluctance.

Now Liu Bei is thirty-eight years old and Zhou Xing is twenty-three years old. There is a fifteen-year age difference between them.

Liu Bei looked at the military advisor in front of him and couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met him more than two years ago.

At that time, Xuzhou had just been lost, and the battle for Guangling was defeated by Yuan Shu. He had no choice but to flee to Haixi, with only more than a thousand soldiers and horses in hand.

Just when he was in despair, the young military advisor Zhou resolutely came to surrender and persuaded him to give up Xuzhou and go to Donglai, Qingzhou to live and develop.

Now more than two years have passed, and although he is not yet strong, he still has two counties, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and 500,000 dan of grain. He is also followed and assisted by Liu Zheng, Tai Shici and others.

In comparison, my development in the past two years has been rapid.

Among them, from defeating Guan Tong and seizing Donglai, to annihilating Guan Hai and Wang Ying Congqian and other bandit leaders, to repelling the Liaodong soldiers and horses, recruiting troops to farm, training troops to accumulate grain, reducing taxes and exemptions to win the hearts of the people, and then to obtain

In the land of Beihai, Zhou military advisors all took the lead.

Although the military advisor is young, he is a man of wisdom and strategy. Without the military advisor, he might still be in Xiaopei, Yuzhou, competing with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu for Xuzhou.

"Lord, take care!"

Zhou Xing is also reluctant to give up.

After more than two years of contact, Zhou Xing saw more and more clearly that Liu Bei really cared about the people and wanted to make their lives better.

Although sometimes the people are also a tool for him to fulfill his ambitions, he will not sacrifice the interests of the people for the sake of his own great cause.

The same goes for treating his subordinates. Whether he treats himself, the officials of the county or the shogunate, he treats them with trust, respect and leniency.

Especially for myself, I trust myself even more and regard myself as more important than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Zhou Xing suddenly noticed that tears were filling Liu Bei's eyes.

On weekdays, Zhou Xing rarely sees Liu Bei crying. A man with great ambitions is definitely not the kind of person who cries and wipes away tears.

But at this moment, although Liu Bei and Zhou Xing were only separated for a short time, they were so reluctant to part with each other, which made Zhou Xing unable to help but shed tears as well.

Tears dripped from Liu Bei's eyes and flowed down his face. He slowly released his hold on Zhou Xing's hand and watched the other person turn and leave, as if he was parting from life or death.

Zhou Xing wiped away his tears and strode away. He led four guards and horses out of the back door of Liu Bei's mansion.

Because they were leaving disguised as rangers, if they went out through the gate, they were worried that they would be discovered by Yuan Tan's detectives and spread to Yuan Tan's ears. In that case, they might encounter interrogation when they go to Jizhou.

When he walked to the door, Zhou Xing looked back and saw Liu Bei following him, waving to him.

Zhou Xing also waved his hand, went out the door, got on his horse, and said: "Let's go."

After leaving Xiami City, Zhou Xing led four people on horseback and galloped all the way west.

After sending Zhou Xing away, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, and the soldiers from the general camp to gather in Xia Mi City.

He also sent people to Donglai and ordered Guan Yu to leave 3,000 troops to guard the city, and asked Liu Zheng to lead 6,000 troops to Beihai.

At the same time, Guan Yu was asked to pay attention to Gongsun Du's movements and be prepared for a sudden attack by soldiers and horses from Liaodong.

More and more news came back from the plains, and it was confirmed that Yuan Tan would personally lead 15,000 men and horses to attack Beihai. It is said that Gongsun Zan wrote a letter asking for help to Liu Bei. The two had been in contact for a long time, and Liu Bei was preparing to attack.

Attack the plain.

Only then did Liu Bei understand why Yuan Tan decided to send troops so quickly. It turned out that Gongsun Zan not only sent one person to meet him, but also sent others, and the letter he wrote to him was intercepted by Yuan Shao.

Last time Yuan Shao could believe in himself, but this time, no matter what he said, he could not make Yuan Shao believe that he had no contact with Gongsun Zan, so he could only resist him with troops and capture Qingzhou.

After summoning the people from the Northern Navy garrison to the city of Xiami, Liu Zheng also led 6,000 men and horses from Donglai to rush to Xiami.

Now there are 12,000 troops in Xiami City, and another 2,000 people have expressed their willingness to defend the city together.

Liu Bei was very confident in guarding Xia Mi. After all, Yuan Tan only brought 15,000 troops, and Yuan Shao's Jizhou soldiers did not come to help.

If Yuan Shao's two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, lead their troops to attack, Liu Bei might be a little worried. Now, he is ready and just waiting for Yuan Tan's troops.

Zhou Xing and others rushed all the way. After leaving Beihai, they passed through Qi State, Le'an and Jinan State, and then entered the plains.

At this time, Yuan Tan was leading the army to the east. Zhou Xing and others had to avoid the path and take a detour, not wanting to meet Yuan Tan's army.

Passing through the plains safely, they entered Qinghe County in Jizhou. They heard that Zhang Yan, the commander of the Black Mountain bandit, was in the mountains of Zhongshan Kingdom, so Zhou Xing and others headed towards Zhongshan Kingdom.
