Wo Cuihe glared at Jiang Shen. Lu Bu's prestige among the Qiang and Hu people was achieved with real swords and real guns. When it came to the flying general Lu Bu, which barbarians didn't respect him enough to let them go to where Lu Bu was to plunder, why not just follow him?
Is it the same as trying to stir up trouble on the head of the King of Hell?
"Lü Bu is familiar with my lord, so it shouldn't be difficult for me to borrow some food and grass from him. Besides, the troops are very quick, so I can leave from the east of the river."
Jiang Shen felt like he was about to cry as he spoke. If he robbed all the way, it would be a matter of years and months before he reached Shangdang County. He could wait, but Zhang Yang didn't know if he could wait.
"Borrowing food from Lu Bu? Hahahaha."
Bei Gongqi glanced at Jiang Shen, and then laughed loudly.
Bei Gongqi laughed, and the other two clan leaders also laughed.
"Innocent, I want to live for two more years by borrowing food from the King of Hell. Anyway, we are going to Xihe County. If you agree, then follow us. If you don't agree, just go to Hedong County."
After Lian Xu and Ming finished speaking, they ignored Jiang Shen and rushed out with a slap on their horses. Wo Cuihe and Bei Gongqi followed closely behind and rushed out, followed by 45,000 cavalry.
Looking at the cavalry galloping in front, Jiang Shen's face instantly turned livid. In fact, when they agreed to send troops for rescue, he had become an absolute vassal, an insignificant and dispensable role.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Zhang Yang's cronies who followed Jiang Shen approached him and asked.
"What should I do? I can only go with the flow and keep up with them."
"promise."
Jiang Shen was in action, and Yuan Shu's side was not idle either. Zhao Yun led Zhou Mu all the way north, first breaking the city and then conquering Yangyi, then forced Yuci to surrender, and finally arrived outside Jinyang.
Zhao Yun asked Ying Yang's army to be stationed temporarily while he and Zhou Mu arrived at the foot of Jinyang City. Looking at the towering city wall in front of him, his first thought was how to break through it with the minimum effort.
"General Zilong, please wait outside the city. I can go and recruit Dong Zhao myself."
Zhou Mu saluted Zhao Yun, and then decided to go to the city alone to meet Dong Zhao.
"It's better that I go with you. My lord has said that you want me to ensure your safety. I can't let you take risks by yourself."
Zhao Yun shook his head and disagreed with Zhou Mu going in by himself.
"I am just a criminal. I am content to serve Lord Zhou Mu. If Dong Zhao really wants my life, he will take my life. But the general is different. You are my lord's general. Your future future is limitless. You must not do it for this reason."
You are in danger.”
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhou Mu was still a little moved. He thought that Zhao Yun was a general in charge of 25,000 cavalry, and he was willing to go into danger with him in order to protect himself.
"Master Zhou, you don't need to say it. The Lord's order cannot be violated. Moreover, Jinyang City wants to keep me, Zhao Yun, a little too young."
Zhao Yun still insisted on his opinion and insisted on entering the city with Zhou Mu.
"Okay, then I hope the general will not reveal his identity. If there is any risk, he will escape by himself. Remember, remember."
After Zhou Mu finished speaking, he got into the carriage, while Zhao Yun left the Zhaoye Jade Lion and sat on the carriage, assuming the role of the driver.
The carriage slowly and crookedly arrived at the foot of Jinyang City. When the soldiers guarding the city saw them coming, they raised their swords and guns.
"Who? What do you do?"
Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Zhao Yun easily rolled down from the carriage, and then lightly opened the curtain covering the carriage.
"I am Cao Zhoumu, the superior party secretary. I have something urgent to ask to see Mr. Dong Zhao. If you don't let me go quickly, you will delay the important matter and you won't have enough heads to cut it off."
Zhou Mu looked at the soldiers in front of him, and the aura of a superior suddenly burst out.
"Please come in quickly, please come in."
The captain of the soldiers felt Zhou Mu's aura, and also knew that Dong Zhao was now in charge here, so he did not dare to neglect and quickly ordered his men to get out of the way.
Zhao Yun drove the carriage straight through the city gate and headed towards the prefect's mansion.
"Gouzi, hurry up and inform General Pan Qing that someone from the Shangdang is here."
Seeing Zhao Yun's carriage go away, the commander called a soldier and asked him to go find Pan Qing.
Pan Qing was a close confidant of Mu Shun. Mu Shun led his troops to sneak attack Leping and left Pan Qing in Jinyang. One was to protect the safety of Jinyang City, and the other was to keep an eye on Dong Zhao, fearing that he would be disloyal in Mu Shun's eyes.
None of these scholars can be trusted.
"Master Zhou, you have such great official authority."
Leaving the city gate, Zhao Yun couldn't help but whisper to Zhou Mu behind him.
"General Zilong is too modest. To deal with these ruffians, you have to overwhelm them in terms of momentum. Otherwise, you may get into trouble."
Zhou Mu opened the curtain and smiled at Zhao Yun.
"Sir, I will be your servant from now on. Just call me Zhao San. If you keep this attitude, you will not respect Zhao Yun but harm Zhao Yun."
Seeing Zhou Mu sticking his head out, Zhao Yun quickly pulled up the curtain.
"Okay, okay, I understand, Zilong. Don't worry, Zhao San will not make the same mistake again."
Zhou Mu slowly returned to the carriage, and the carriage also twisted along the road and slowly stopped outside the prefect's mansion.
"Master, we're here."
Zhao Yun jumped out of the carriage, helped Zhou Mu lift the curtain, and then got out of the carriage facing him. Both his movements and demeanor were exactly the same, without any flaws.
"who."
The soldiers outside the prefect's mansion immediately drew their swords and guns and pointed at Zhao Yun and Zhou Mu.
"I am Cao Zhoumu, the subordinate of the Shangdang Prefect. I have something important to ask to see Mr. Dong Zhaohao. Please go and report it quickly."
Zhou Mu is still the same, with an official look that makes people afraid to look directly at him.
"Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment, I will report it right away."
When they heard that it was someone from the Shangdang, the soldiers did not dare to neglect them. After clasping their fists, they turned around and entered the mansion.
After a while, Dong Zhao came directly to the gate. Seeing that it was indeed Zhou Mu, he immediately reached out and hugged him.
"Keyun, it is indeed you. How is the war going on in Shangdang?"
After the two hugged, Dong Zhao directly asked about the situation of the Shangdang war.
"Gongren, let's talk after we enter the house."
Zhou Mu glanced at the soldiers beside him and directly asked to enter the mansion.
"Blame me, blame me, let's go, let's go into the house and talk again."
After saying that, Dong Zhao took Zhou Mu into the prefect's mansion, while Zhao Yun followed closely.
"Keyun, you are a very powerful young man. Let him go down below to rest. Let's talk while drinking."
Seeing Zhao Yun following him, Dong Zhao couldn't help but be startled. This young man looked pretty good, but he didn't know how to praise him.
"Zhao San is not an outsider, let him follow."
When he heard that Dong Zhao wanted to send Zhao Yun away, Zhou Mu tried to persuade him.
After hearing Zhou Mu's words, Dong Zhao looked at Zhao Yun again, but a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Just follow me. Come on, let's talk in the inner hall."
