Zhao Ying led Liu Xiu and others to the East City. When they arrived at the East City Gate, Zhao Ying looked around, pointed at the city gate and said, "Open the city gate!"
The county soldiers present were all startled, looked at Zhao Ying in confusion, and asked cautiously: "Sir, will you open the city gate now?"
Before Zhao Ying could say anything, a village chief came over, kicked the county soldier who asked the question in the butt, and scolded: "Open the door when you are told to do so. Where did all this nonsense come from?!"
The county soldiers shrank their necks in fright, not daring to ask another word, and worked together to open the gate of the east city.
As soon as the city gate opened a gap, Zhao Ying waved his hand and said, "That's it."
Following his words, Jiu'er, like a loach, pulled a horse and got out through the gap in the city gate. The county soldiers present looked at each other, and they didn't understand that it was so late at night that your Excellency was letting someone out of the city.
What does it mean?
Jiu'er left the county town, immediately mounted his horse and galloped towards the east.
She ran for more than ten miles in one breath and looked around. The official road was empty, not even a ghost could be seen. Jiuer was secretly wondering. According to the time, Deng Yu and others should have arrived in Deng County. Could it be that
Was there an accident on the road?
While Jiu'er was thinking wildly in her mind, her horse suddenly lost its balance and fell forward. Jiu'er, who was sitting on the horse, couldn't help but scream in surprise, and he flew out.
Plop!
Jiu'er, including her horse and her body, fell a long way away. Fortunately, Jiu'er has been an orphan since she was a child. She has been wandering around and has a strong ability to protect herself. When she fell out, she immediately used her arms to protect her.
His head and body curled up into a ball. Although he fell into disgrace, the vital parts of his body were not injured.
"Fuck..." Jiu'er was lying on the ground, feeling that all the bones in her body were about to fall apart. She was about to get up from the ground while cursing. Suddenly, a dozen big men rushed out from both sides of the road, each holding a long weapon.
Spear, forcing Jiu'er to the ground.
Jiu'er was initially shocked, but when she saw the red strip of cloth tied to the opponent's spear, her face suddenly sank and she asked: "Are you all from the Zhu Tiandu tribe?"
All the big men were frightened and pushed Jiu'er closer with their spears. The sharp edge of the spear almost pierced Jiu'er's skin. One of them asked in a cold voice: "Who are you and why do you know our identities?"
"I am your grandma!" Jiu'er was furious. He pushed away all the spears that were pressing on him, then jumped up from the ground and asked, "Where is Deng Yu? Let Deng Yu come out to see me!"
More than a dozen big men looked at Jiu'er in surprise. The leading man asked tentatively: "Girl, who are you?"
"My name is Jiu'er!" Jiu'er said angrily.
"Ah?!" More than a dozen big men looked at each other and were stunned for a moment. Then they all clasped their fists and saluted Jiu'er and said, "It turns out to be Miss Jiu'er. We didn't know. Please forgive me, Miss Jiu'er!"
Jiu'er glanced at them and looked behind her, she saw that her poor horse had not only a broken leg, but also a broken neck. It was lying on its side on the ground, and its two hind hooves were still kicking one after another.
Looking carefully at the ground, I found a thick rope lying across the road.
No wonder her horse fell down suddenly. It turned out that it tripped over the rope! Jiuer pointed to the tripping rope on the road and asked, "Is it you who did it? Tell me, did you do it?"
All the big men lowered their heads and shrank their necks, and no one said a word. Jiuer grabbed the leader of the big man's clothes and asked, "Say what you said!"
"Miss Jiu'er, we didn't know it was you who came here. We thought it was a spy sent by Deng County!" The big man at the head frowned, grinned, and defended in a low voice.
Jiu'er was so angry that she wanted to slap them both. She said angrily: "I think your eyes are in vain! Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I wouldn't have been killed by you?! Where is Deng Yu?"
"My lord is still behind, I'm going to explore the way first."
Jiu'er had no time to talk nonsense with them, so he raised his head and said, "Let's go! Take me to see Deng Yu immediately!"
"Okay, okay, Miss Jiu'er, please come with us!" These dozen big men took Jiu'er and walked another three or four miles, and finally saw the 'large army' headed by Deng Yu.
This so-called large army only has 300 people, including the dozen or so big men who led Jiu'er over.
Seeing Deng Yu, Jiuer quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Deng Yu, quickly bring people with me into the city!"
Jiu'er's meaningless words stunned everyone present.
Deng Yu walked up to Jiu'er and looked her up and down. His face looked ashen as if he had just crawled out of the dirt. He asked in confusion: "Miss Jiu'er, what are you doing?"
"Oh, don't ask, follow me into the city quickly!" Jiu'er urged impatiently.
"Into the city?"
"Zhao Ying, the county lieutenant in Deng County, has led the county soldiers to defect. Let's go over now and just take over the whole city!" When Jiu'er spoke, his tone was impatient, but there was a look of pride in the corner of his eyes and between his eyebrows.
Of course she has the capital to be proud. They successfully captured a county town with tens of thousands of people without losing a single soldier. They also recruited thousands of county soldiers headed by Zhao Ying. How could she not
proud!
The people around Deng Yu all widened their eyes and looked at Jiu'er in disbelief, wondering if they had heard wrongly.
Deng County surrendered? Deng County surrendered even before our ‘big army’ reached Deng County. Isn’t this incredible?
"Miss Jiu'er, you...are you joking with all of us?"
Jiu'er's little face was stern, and she snorted coldly, asking: "Can we joke about such a big thing? The Lord is at the gate tower of the East City now. Everyone, please come with me!"
Deng Yu smiled. The Lord's work was indeed unexpected! He waved to the people around him and said excitedly: "Let's go! Let's go to the county seat of Deng County!"
The group of them seemed to have forgotten their fatigue and rushed all the way to the outside of the east city of Deng County. As soon as they approached the city gate, they heard a creaking sound and the city gate was slowly opened.
Those who came out of the city were Liu Xiu, Yan Guang, Feng Yi, Fu Jun and Zhao Ying.
Deng Yu took three steps in two steps, came to Liu Xiu, bowed his hands and said, "My lord!"
Liu Xiu patted Deng Yu's arm and said with a smile: "I knew it was time for Zhonghua to arrive in Deng County!" As he spoke, he waved to Zhao Ying and said to Deng Yu: "This is Zhao Ying, the county captain of Deng County."
Mr. Zhao has now joined our army."
As he spoke, he introduced Zhao Ying: "This is Deng Yu, who is temporarily serving as a captain in the army."
The school captain is not a minor official. In terms of rank, he is even higher than the county captain!
After hearing Liu Xiu's introduction, Zhao Ying immediately bowed his hand to Deng Yu and said, "Master Deng, you are so polite as a lower official!"
Deng Yu quickly returned the gift and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, you are so polite."
"Let's go, let's go into the city quickly!" Zhao Ying greeted.
It was too dark outside the city and the light was limited. Zhao Ying could only see a large, dark group of people behind Deng Yu. He could not see clearly how many people there were. But when he entered the city, there were torches shining around him, and Zhao Ying focused his eyes.
At first glance, well, the 30,000 people who came with Deng Yu were not 300 people. 300 people were too much.
He cleared his throat and asked Liu Xiudao in a low voice: "General, what Master Deng brought is just our vanguard, right?" For an army of 30,000 people, the vanguard only had 300 people, which was really a little less.
Liu Xiu smiled at Zhao Ying and said, "No! This is all our troops to attack Deng County!"
Zhao Ying stared at Liu Xiu blankly, her mouth slowly opening wide.
Liu Xiu grinned at him and explained: "Now our total military strength is less than 10,000, but I believe that in the near future, our military strength will be far more than 30,000!"
After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Zhao Ying couldn't help but raise his head and said, General, you dare to attack Deng County with only 300 people? You are just using your hands empty-handed!
That's right! Liu Xiu was indeed trying to catch the wolf with nothing, and he really trapped the wolf in Deng County!
Liu Xiu happily photographed Zhao Ying and said, "Master Zhao, let's go to the county government office!"
Zhao Ying sighed. He had already boarded Liu Xiu's pirate ship. Even if he wanted to get off the ship now, it was too late. Besides, he himself didn't want to get off the 'thief ship' at all. He nodded to Liu Xiu and said: "General, please follow me."
I come!"
When walking to the county government office, Zhao Ying specially gave Liu Xiu a thumbs up. He said nothing, but his face was full of admiration.
Liu Xiu laughed loudly and said: "Before setting off from Caiyang, Liu Ji and I made an agreement. I will attack Deng County and he will attack Xiangxiang. Let's see who can lead three hundred brothers to conquer the city within three days!"
"
Hearing this, Zhao Ying felt angry and funny. He smiled and asked: "General, what day is today?"
"It happens to be the third day!"
Zhao Ying sighed: "It seems that the general will definitely win this time!"
Liu Xiu shrugged, shook his head and said: "Not necessarily! Liu Ji bravely conquered the three armies. In terms of force alone, no one in Zhu Tiandu has been able to defeat him! Maybe now, Liu Ji is sitting in Xiangxiang, drinking and celebrating his victory.
Here’s the wine!”
"If so, I want to meet this General Liu!"
"There will be opportunities, and I believe this opportunity will not be too far away."
With Zhao Ying escorting them, Liu Xiu and others came to the vicinity of the county government without any hindrance.
The gate of the county government office was already vaguely visible. Zhao Ying stopped and said, "General, Mr. Zhang doesn't know about the changes that have happened in the city yet. I'll go in and talk to Mr. Zhang first!"
"That's fine! By the way, really, bring a few more guards!" Liu Xiu turned to Fu Jun and said, "Ziwei, you go in with Mr. Zhao!"
"Yes! Lord!" Fu Jun agreed.
"Ziwei, if something goes wrong, you can sound the arrow as a signal!"
"clear!"
Zhao Ying took two guards and Fu Jun and walked straight to the county government office. When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, there were two guards here. When they saw that the person coming was Zhao Ying, the two guards stepped in and saluted, saying: "Master Zhao
!”
"I have something urgent to see Mr. Zhang, please go in and report it as soon as possible!"
"This... Mr. Zhao, it's getting late and you have already rested. Should you wait until tomorrow..."
"Stop blabbering! I must see Mr. Zhang, now! Go in and report immediately!"
The two guards had no choice but to look at each other. One of them bowed to Zhao Ying, turned around and ran into the county government office.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the guard who went in to report the news ran out, bowed to Zhao Ying and said: "Sir Zhao, please invite me!"
