Chapter 33 Huo Jun

Xu Shu didn't know his guess, which was true.

At this time, Wu Jun was extremely lively, because Sun Ce was about to marry. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu accidentally met Qiao's sisters when they went out some time ago. They were shocked and decided to marry Big Qiao, and Zhou Yu also decided to marry Xiao Qiao as their wife. The wedding date of the two is set on the same day. These days, people in Wu County are preparing for the wedding of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

For the people of Wu County, Sun Ce's legendary experience made them enjoy talking about it. Since his father Sun Jian died in the attack on Xiangyang, Sun Ce has always hoped to avenge his father, but his power is not strong enough to compete with Jingzhou. Since then, Sun Ce has been fighting continuously, and the victory in every battle has gradually unified Jiangdong to have the capital to compete with Liu Biao.

The team to welcome the relatives had set out. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also pulled out of the busy things. Only then did they learn that Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, had defected, and Sun Ce immediately summoned the ministers to discuss the matter.

Xiangyang City is not calm. Xiangyang has been paying attention to Liu Qi since Liu Qi went on the expedition. Unexpectedly, on the second day of the expedition, Liu Qi killed 500 soldiers including the deputy general Cai He, and there was an uproar in Xiangyang City.

Cai He is Cai Mao's younger brother and a direct member of the Cai family. Liu Qi did not hesitate to kill him without hesitation. Isn't he afraid of Cai's revenge? And some people have seen that Liu Qi has completely torn his face to the Cai family.

Cai's direct line was killed. Cai Mao naturally couldn't sit still and went to the assassin's mansion to see Liu Biao sued Liu Qi for killing the general without authorization, and Yi Ji did not lag behind. He said that it was not regrettable that Cai He disobeyed the military order and Cai Mao recommended Cai He to be guilty. Liu Biao naturally knew the twists and turns and ignored them. But he was also shocked by Liu Qi's decision to kill him. He secretly ordered people to pay attention to Liu Qi's movements.

It may be Xu Shu's speculation that Zhang Xianzhen concentrated his army in Linxiang. Liu Qi's army did not encounter any resistance along the way. Smoothly entered Changsha. Liu Qi did not delay and directly let the army march to You County. Three days later, You County has entered Liu Qi's sight.

Looking at the towering city in front of him, Liu Qi praised, "This is You County. A county is not as small as an ordinary county. It's even better in defense."

Xu Shu smiled and said, "You County is the hub of Jiangdong and Jingzhou. The geographical location is very important. There are many wars between the two sides again, and the city is naturally tall."

Ma Zhong urged him to ask immediately, "Did the lord order the siege of the city?" Twenty thousand troops have been trained on the way. These two thousand troops are veterans, but they have not been trained for a long time. After Liu Qi's training, they have gradually become familiar with the battlefield.

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "Don't worry." The city is strong, and there are soldiers and horses stationed on all sides of the wall. After seeing Liu Qi's army, the gate has been closed. The army followed the wall, and all kinds of defensive equipment were also ready. It was not easy to attack and fight down.

Liu Qi's soldiers and horses were already found by the defenders in the city and reported to the general.

Huo Jun, the governor of You County, was appointed as the general of You County after following Liu Biao. Because he is good at defending the city, he has a high prestige among the soldiers in You County.

When Huo Jun heard the soldier's report, he immediately climbed to the tower to check. Since Zhang Xian rebelled, all the original deployment of Zhang Xian in You County has been transferred. At present, there are only 1,500 defenders left in You County. It would be bad if Jiangdong came to attack at this time.

Looking at Liu Ziqi floating outside the city, Huo Jun was relieved, but he didn't open the door. He had heard of Liu Qi's character, but he knew people and didn't know his heart. If Liu Qi was angry with the people in the city because of Zhang Xian, he would be angry and ordered to slaughter the city.

A young man in a Confucian robe outside the city came quickly and walked to the city and said loudly, "In Xia Ma Liang, please see the general of You County."

Huo Jun looked at the young man under the city and put his heart back into his stomach. "It seems that Liu Qi doesn't want to move." Since he can send someone to come, it means that he is still rational. Huo Jun shouted at the gate, "Open the gate."

Ma Liang walked into the city, and it was Huo Jun who met him. Looking at the young general Ma Liang, who was not much bigger than him, he bowed and said, "I've met the general in Ma Liang."

Huo Jun looked at Ma Liang and knew his intention, but still asked, "I don't know what happened to you?"

Ma Liang smiled and said rudely, "Next time I will come to my lord, General Zhengnan's order to persuade the general to surrender."

Huo Jun was directly stunned by Ma Liang, and then said angrily, "Sir's words are inexplicable. I don't know what you mean?"

Ma Liang said without changing his face, "I think the general already knows that my lord has come to fight against the traitor Zhang Xian. I just saw that the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment. The atmosphere is harmonious and there is no impact at all. It should be the merit of the general. This time, Zhang Xian's rebellion against the general should be involuntarily. At this time, my lord led the troops to the time when the general showed his sincerity. I don't think the general doesn't want to meet my master's soldiers.

Huo Jun smiled and said, "Yes, what you said is reasonable. But I want to know how General Zhengnan will deal with the people in the city and the soldiers guarding the city? He has made up his mind that if Liu Qi really blames the people in the city and the soldiers guarding the city, he will protect them even if he works hard.

Ma Liang seemed to have expected his problem and returned: "General, don't worry. When I came, my lord said that this time, Zhang Xian's rebellion had nothing to do with the people of Changsha. My lord came to fight against Zhang Xian and his confidant thieves. It seems that the general is also competive, and he will not deal with the general and the defenders."

Huo Jun breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What does General Zhengnan want me to do?" Surrender must have the appearance of surrender. Huo Jun knows this. It doesn't make any sense to put on airs, but it will make people unsentful.

Ma Liang appreciated Huo Jun's attitude. He was not pretentious and could afford it. He said, "My lord asked the general to immediately issue a notice to inform the people of the situation, so as not to cause unnecessary panic. Then he opened the city to welcome my lord into the city. In addition, the army in the city returned to the camp and did not leave the camp without orders. The city's defense It will be taken over by our army for the time being, and the lord will make arrangements after the army enters the city.

Huo Jun has decided to surrender. Naturally, he will not refuse to immediately order people to do what Ma Liang said. He and Ma Liang are waiting here. Looking at Ma Liang and Huo Jun, he asked curiously, "I don't know what position is under the command of General Zhengnan?" Now Ma Liang is only in his twenties. Such a young official is rare. He inherited the position of his elder brother. How did Ma Liang do it at such a young age?

Ma Liang smiled and said, "I have no size. Where did the position come from? I'm just a little official in the general's mansion now. Although he said that, he was not unnatural but a little proud.

Huo Jun naturally noticed Ma Liang's expression and secretly guessed that Ma Liang might be Liu Qi's cronies to serve in the house. He knows the dispute over the throne in Xiangyang City, and it makes sense for Liu Qi and Liu Cen to cultivate their cronies secretly.

Half an hour later, Huo Jun has done everything to go out of the city with Ma Liang to welcome Liu Qi. The soldiers guarding the city had returned to the camp, and there was no soldier in the city, and the people also knew that General Zhengnan had arrived. They went home honestly and waited for the arrival of General Zhengnan.
