Xiazhi County, located in the east of Jiangxia County, borders Chaisang county. The magistrate of Xiazhi County, named Lei Tong, was Huang Zu's confidant. He guarded Xiazhi county to resist the attack of Jiangdong.

Because of the special geographical location of Xiazhi County, there are more than 10000 elite troops stationed in the county.

Barracks, big accounts of the Chinese army.

Lei Tong sits in the main seat and Deng Zhan sits at the bottom.

With an expectant look in his eyes, Deng Zhan said: "county magistrate Lei, I just got the news that my Lord and general wenpin are on their way to Xiazhi county and are about to arrive at houbeiling. In my opinion, we can go with the army. "

Pang Tong was responsible for persuading Huang Zu to lead the army to bluff on the river to attract the attention of Zhou Yu and the Jiangdong army.

Deng Zhan led the troops who really rescued Liu Xiu.

Deng Zhan led 800 elite soldiers to Xiazhi county and stationed in leitong's barracks.

Leitong had already got Huang Zu's order and fully cooperated with Deng Zhan. Therefore, leitong is very polite to Deng Zhan. Moreover, although leitong was a rough man, he didn't read much, but he was very clever.

From all kinds of signs, Liu Xiu's ability is quite outstanding, and his rise is irresistible. Under such circumstances, he helped Deng Zhan rescue Liu Xiu, which was also an opportunity to make friends with Liu Xiu.

Lei Tong wears a smile and says, "Deng county magistrate, once there is a conflict in the monkey ridge, eight hundred soldiers are afraid of it. I sent one thousand soldiers from the army to go to the monkey ridge."

Deng Zhan shook his head and said, "county magistrate Lei, thank you very much. It's just that we should not go to houbeiling in a big way. So, my 800 soldiers are enough. In Xiazhi County, county magistrate Lei is familiar with the topography and knows the forces of Jiangdong. This time, you have to ask county magistrate Lei to come with me. "

When Lei Tong heard that he was going to see Liu Xiu, this was undoubtedly the best result. He said: "Deng's analysis is reasonable. I'll show him the way."

Soon, leitong and Deng show their barracks and take 800 soldiers to houbeiling.

Houbeiling is the junction of Xiazhi county and Chaisang county.

This place is full of mountains and narrow roads. Liu Xiu and his party's carriage had lost its function and had already been abandoned. They all went on foot.

Liu Xiu and his party were disguised as caravans.

The soldiers were dressed in ordinary clothes, some dressed as guards, others as coolies.

Team, slowly forward.

Lu Su did not make trouble all the way. Because he is always under Liu Xiu's control. If Liu Xiu can't grasp his situation, he will definitely kill him. This is not what Lu Su wants to see.

About a quarter of an hour, the narrow path gradually became wider. Soon, it came to the border.

At the border, Zhou Yu set up checkpoints, guarded by more than 100 Jiangdong soldiers.

Liu xiusan wore a hat on his head, which covered his appearance. As soon as the soldiers standing by the checkpoint looked back, they saw Liu Xiu and his three men from a distance, shouting: "all of them take off their hats and come to check their appearance."

In the soldier's hand, there were three portraits.

The three portraits are Liu Xiu, Lu Su and Wen pin.

Liu xiusan still didn't take off their hat. With the distance getting closer, wenpin roared, "do it!"

In an instant, the soldier immediately pulled out the steel knife and rushed up.

After fleeing all the way back from Jiangdong, the number of soldiers around wenpin is decreasing, leaving only more than 30 people. These 30 odd soldiers are all elite. One by one, fearless of death, rushed up and killed the Jiangdong soldiers on the border.

"It's Liu Xiu. It must be Liu Xiu and his party. Hurry up and catch Liu Xiu."

"Wenpin is also here. Catch him quickly."

Jiangdong soldiers, who guard the border, are very excited and welcome Jingzhou soldiers with their swords.

"Lord, here comes Deng Zhan."

At the same time, in pheasant County, Deng Zhan roared and rushed out with an iron sword. Behind him, 800 soldiers rushed out and rushed to the junction of the two counties.

The appearance of 800 soldiers reversed the situation.

Liu Xiu and wenpin didn't even make a move. Deng Zhan has easily solved the problem of Jiangdong soldiers stationed in Chaisang.

Lu Su sighed when he saw this scene. Liu Xiu's preparations this time are too full. Not only in jiangshang County, but also in Xiazhi County, Liu Xiu has made sufficient arrangements to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan.

After killing Jiang Dongbing, Deng Zhan came forward and saluted. Then, Deng zhanbai pointed to Lei Tong and said, "Lord, this is Lei Tong Lei magistrate of Xiazhi county. Thanks to Lei magistrate's help, we can arrive here smoothly this time."

Leitong said: "I've met Mr. Xiu."

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "county magistrate Lei, thank you very much."

Leitong looked excited and shook his head. "It's my honor that xiugongzi passed Xiazhi county. It's also my duty to rescue xiugongzi, and it's just a little help. This rescue, thanks to Deng Xiancheng. He sends people to watch houbeiling twelve hours a day to ensure that he can meet the adults on time. "After a bit of politeness, the party entered Xiazhi county.

After a night's rest in Xiazhi County, the next morning, Liu Xiu and his party left Xiazhi County for Xiling County, the seat of Jiangxia county.

Xiling county is located in the North-South Center of Jiangxia county. To the east of Xiling county is Chaisang county. Because of this, Xiling county is a barrier to the east of Jiangxia county.

The city of the county is towering and the city wall is as high as four feet.

In the city, the army of Huang Zu was stationed.

Outside the county, a flowing moat protects Xiling county. Moat from the Yangtze River, two feet wide, the river rapids, want to enter the city, must put down the suspension bridge from the city, can enter the city.

When Liu Xiu came to see the county outside Xiling County, he couldn't help admiring it.

At the gate of the city, Huang Zu and Pang Tong lined up to greet them.

Huang Zu met Liu Xiu and quickly welcomed him. He arched his hand and said, "Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, meet Mr. Xiu."

Liu Xiulian said quickly: "it's very kind of you, madam Huang, to return to Jingzhou this time, thanks to the arrangement of Madam Huang. Otherwise, I don't know when I will come back. "

Huang Zu said to himself, "it's all about xiugongzi. His subordinates just run errands and don't do anything. Mr. Xiu, I have already set up a banquet in my house to clean up the dust for Mr. Xiu. Please

"Huang Tai Shou, please."

Liu Xiu nodded slightly and went to the city with Huang Zu.

The prince's residence, please take your seat.

Huang Zu looked curious in his eyes and said, "Jiangdong is in danger. Young master Xiu is in the hinterland of Wu County. I don't know how Mr. Xiu came back. "

Now that Liu Xiu has come back successfully, the adventure along the way is Liu Xiu's proud capital.

When Huang Zu asked, he was in his favor.

With a smile, Liu Xiu replied: "during his stay in Wu County, he was able to come back smoothly, on the one hand, with the help of the local strength of Jiangdong, on the other hand, with proper planning."

Immediately, Liu Xiu gave a brief account of his general plan and what happened.

After hearing this, Huang Zu tut praised: "I can only look up to master Xiu's wisdom. Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao are all excellent, but they are played around by master Xiu. It's really wonderful. "

After a pause, Huang Zu said again, "what do you plan to do about Lu Su?"

Liu Xiu said: "I don't know yet. When I return to Xiangyang, I will report to my father and ask him to deal with it."

Huang Zu nodded slightly, and no longer entangled with the matter of withdrawing. He ordered the food and wine to be served. Soon, the good food and wine that had been prepared were put on the table.

Huang Zu and Jiang Xia's officials congratulated Liu Xiu one after another.

Liu xiulai refused, and Huang Zu talked and laughed, the atmosphere is very warm.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere was even higher. At this time, the relationship between the two sides gradually drew closer. Huang Zujing Liu Xiu a glass of wine, some hesitant way: "repair young master, I have a thing, I do not know when to say, not to say."

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Huang Taishou, but it's OK to talk about it."

Huang Zu said, "my young son, Huang Hu, is nearly 20 years old and still has nothing to do in my family. I hope he can follow Mr. Xiu for some experience. "

Liu Xiu laughed in his heart. Huang Zu's arrangement is equivalent to becoming an ally with Liu xiuda.

Liu xiudao: "when we start tomorrow morning, let Huang Hu go to Xiangyang with me. Huang Tai Shou's generals, I think Huang Hu must be a hero. "

Lu Su sat down, listening to Huang Zu and Liu Xiu's words, sighing in his heart. He thought that Liu Xiu was born of a common man, which had a lot of limitations. Now it seems that even though Liu Xiu was a common son, the prefects of the counties still competed to make friends with Liu Xiu.

It will not be too difficult for Liu Xiu to take charge of Jingzhou.
