Chapter 327 Covenant?

"General, the Jingzhou army went to the northwest, but there are still 10,000 troops left outside the city. The flag should be Zhang Xiu of Jingzhou, and the gate is surrounded by Jingzhou's scouts."

"I know. You sent someone to pay close attention to the movement of the Jingzhou army." Zhang Ying's face was slightly dark. She waved her hand and sent the scout away. She turned around and walked into the house.

There are no other cities in the northwest of Nanxiang City. The intention of the Jingzhou army is more obvious. Their goal is Nanzheng.

"Sir, the Jingzhou army has rushed to Nanzheng." As soon as she entered the house, Zhang Ying rushed to Yanpu, with an eager face.

"Then Liu Qi can leave a large army outside the city." Yanpu's face changed slightly. When Liu Qi left just now, he said that he would attack Nan Zheng. If he was Liu Qi, he would leave an army outside the city and trap his 10,000 troops in the city.

"Yes, Liu Qi did leave 10,000 troops outside the city, and it should be Zhang Xiu Town in Jingzhou to guard outside the city." Zhang Ying nodded, and her face was not relaxed at all.

"Ha ha, Liu Qi is cautious. This embroidery is very difficult to deal with. At the beginning, Cao Cao's several expeditions to Wancheng was dodged by him, but it was more than enough to trap us in the city." Yanpu's eyes flashed, and the worry in his eyes flashed away, which was slightly unreachable.

"The embroidered gun is extremely good. The last general asked himself that he was not his opponent. What's the good strategy, sir? There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the whole Hanzhong. Even if the master was recruited some time ago, there were not more than 5,000 soldiers and horses. Except for the soldiers and horses in each county, Nanzheng's soldiers and horses would not exceed 10,000. If Liu Qi really attacked the city, the lord would be in danger. Zhang Ying shook her head.

"Huh? Did you just say that Liu Qi would attack Nanzheng? Yanpu's eyes flashed, as if thinking.

"Yes, there are not enough soldiers and horses in Nanzheng City, and no general will definitely choose to wait for help." Zhang Ying said doubtfully.

"Haha, I almost fell in the trap of Liu Qi." Yanpu laughed, with a clear look on his face.

"Have you been trapped by Liu Qi?"

"Yes, this is Liu Qi deliberately seducing us out of the city. The virtual Liu Qi in Nanzheng City must have known it for a long time. He deliberately said in front of me that he wanted to attack Nanzheng, and then hurriedly led the army to leave. He just wanted me to think that he really wanted to attack Nanzheng. At that time, we will definitely worry about the safety of Nanzheng. No matter what this embroidery is, we will venture out of the city and rescue Nanzheng as much as possible. As soon as the army comes out of the city, the Jingzhou army hidden around will immediately join hands with Zhang Xiu to annihilate all the 10,000 troops in the city, and then it will be really powerless.

Yan Pu's eyes were full of clear eyes. Liu Qi's trick was not hidden, but a few words almost led him into a misguided way. If he was preconceived, he thought that Liu Qi would really attack Nan Zheng, and even he would be tricked.

"But what if Liu Qi really goes to attack Nan Zheng?" Zhang Ying frowned. All this was Yanpu's guess.

"Then Liu Qi led 30,000 troops to attack Hanzhong. This Nanxiang was the first city he met, and Liu Qi's army came through Shangyong to attack Hanzhong, which made Cao Ren impatient. If he transported grain and fodder frequently, it might anger Cao Ren. This Nanxiang was the most suitable place to hoard grain and grass.

Nanxiang is just a small city. The city is not strong. Although it has been temporarily processed, Liu Qi can really attack Nanxiang within a few days. Although Nanzheng has few troops, even if the city is strong, it can't be attacked in a short time. You How can Liu Qi give up the near and seek the far?

Moreover, even if Nanzheng is in danger, General Zhang Wei, who guards the Yangping Pass, and General Yang Ang, who guards the Bai prison pass (both generals sit down to adjust), can support Nanzheng at any time. Under the condition that Zhuge Liang's army does not feel the Bai prison, attacking Nanzheng will only seek a way to die. Liu Qi should be extremely clear about this.

Yanpu shook his head. Liu Qi clearly did not want to attack the city, so as not to cause soldiers to damage.

"This..." Zhang Ying was stunned.

"Well, order the soldiers and horses in the city to guard the city at ease and not to relax. In addition, pay close attention to the situation of Liu Qi's army and strictly order all counties not to go out of the city to fight." Yanpu exhaled.

The next day, Liu Qi's 20,000 troops were resting 50 miles northwest of Nanxiang City.

"What happened in Yanpu?" Liu Qi frowned. After a night, there was no news from Nanxiang.

"The lord, since the lord left Nanxiang, Yanpu has not done anything, and ordered the surrounding counties to strictly guard the city and not to fight." Yang Ling, standing beside Liu Qi like a pillar, bowed.

"It seems that Yanpu has seen through my strategy." Liu Qi shook his head secretly in his heart, but there was not much pity. If he attacked Nanxiang all of a sudden, wouldn't it be boring?

"Has Wei Yan ever sent the message back?" Liu Qi was moved and thought of Wei Yan, who left early. He couldn't attack Nanxiang. Couldn't he attack other cities?

"Lord, General Wei is attacking at this time, and there should be news in a short time." Yang Ling bowed.

"Order the army to be stationed on the spot." Liu Qi thought for a moment and said that at this time, Zhuge Liang had not yet reached the Bai prison pass, and there was no need to rush to attack the counties in Hanzhong.

Yizhou, in the pastoral government of the state

Today, the state pastoral government welcomed a special guest. Yizhou pastoral Liu Zhang drove everyone out of the study and seemed to have something important to discuss with the guests.

In the study, Chen Qun was dressed in cloth. He could not see any identity symbol from his clothes, but opposite Chen Qun was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou.

"Although the messenger said it was good, I have promised Jingzhou to receive the Jingzhou army. If the Jingzhou army is driven out of Jingzhou at this time, I'm afraid it will be distrustful to the world." Liu Zhang looked at Chen Qun's eyes flickering and his face was hesitant.

"Ha ha, Lord Zhou Mu should know that if Jingzhou is allowed to capture Hanzhong, Hanzhong will definitely fall into the hands of Jingzhou. Does Lord Zhou Mu think that Liu Qi really only needs to do it? Since Jingzhou was the first to deceive the state herdsman, what's wrong with the state herdsman driving the Jingzhou army out of Jingzhou? Chen Qun laughed in his heart. Liu Zhang said this just for greater interests.

Seeing that Chen Qun said so, Liu Zhang just smiled and said nothing.

"The state herdsman has guarded Yizhou for decades and has made outstanding contributions to appease the different races in various places. If the situation in Hanzhong can be stabilized for the time being, I think the lord will definitely report this matter to the emperor. At that time, the herdsman will definitely attract the attention of the emperor. I think the benefits of this is the state herdsman. Adults should know." Chen Qun immediately said.

"Ha ha, Cao Cao is too busy at this time. How can he control Yizhou? There are a lot of strong soldiers and strong talents in Yijingzhou. Although I, Yizhou, am not afraid, I will not rush to provoke such a big enemy." Liu Zhang shook his head. Chen Qun said for so long that there was no practical benefit. Didn't he think he was a fool?

"Lord Zhou Mu joked. Although Yuan Shao is strong, he openly ignores how can he block the world's mouth? How can Yuan Shao win if he loses the hearts of the people? Moreover, there are a lot of talents under the master's command. If Yuan Shao, Lord Zhou Mu will not worry about it.

Lord the state herdsman should know that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has offended the lord several times, and the lord has failed in several expeditions. At this time, he was restrained by Yuan Shao and had nothing to do with Zhang Lu, and Jingzhou is also the great enemy of the lord. If the state herdsman can drive the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou out of Yizhou, the lord will be willing to help the lord of the state herdsman attack Hanzhong, not only that. Even Shangyong and other places will be merged into Yizhou. I don't think the herdsman will refuse this condition, right? Chen Qun shook his head and then persuaded him again.

"Oh, is this true? Can you do it, Lord? Liu Zhang's eyes flashed and he stared at Chen Qun tightly.

"Since the Lord sent me to Yizhou, I can naturally do it." The joy in Chen Qun's eyes flashed away, and Liu Zhang was really forgetful.

"In this case, why did you come to Yizhou alone without any news before?" Liu Zhang looked at Chen Qun with suspicion.

"Lord Zhou Mu should know that the enmity between my lord and Jingzhou, now the Lord Justice and Yuan Shao can't draw strength to deal with Jingzhou. If you fight with Jingzhou at this time, Lord Zhou Mu should know the result. If not, how can Jingzhou's army pass through Shangyong?" Chen Qun shook his head and sighed.

"Would you like to make a covenant?" Liu Zhang looked at Chen Qun.

"Why don't you dare?" Chen Qun said confidently.

In a short time, an alliance appeared on the table. Liu Zhang took a look at the covenant with satisfaction. The covenant not only contained all the benefits promised by Chen Qun just now, but also added one, that is, to worship Liu Zhang as the general of Zhenxi.

"No wonder Liu Qi didn't attack Yizhou first. How can Liu Zhang defend Yizhou? He only needs to capture Hanzhong. Sooner or later, Yizhou will be the pocket of Jingzhou."

Leaving the state pastoral government, Chen Qun shook his head and scoffed at Liu Zhang's so-called alliance. Now the world is divided by the melee princes. The alliance is just an empty piece of paper, which can be torn up at any time. Moreover, he does not think that Liu Zhang can take back Hanzhong. Although Zhuge Liang only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, he is an elite man. Liu Zhang thought. It's a little troublesome to drive him out of Yizhou.

Thinking that Chen Qun gave up the idea of returning to Shangyong, staying in Yizhou at this time may cause some trouble to Jingzhou. He looked around without a trace, and his heart moved. Chen Qun circled around the city, suddenly turned into an alley, and turned around and disappeared.

Shortly after Chen Qun disappeared, two figures appeared at the mouth of the alley. The two entered the alley and looked for a while, but did not find Chen Qun. They looked at each other and left with a regretful face.
