"Close the city gate quickly! The cavalry is coming!"
Before Liu Deng finished speaking, he immediately heard soldiers on the top of the city starting to shout warnings.
"What's going on? Find someone to go and take a look!"
Liu Deng hurriedly said to Du Ziteng outside the car.
"Reporting to the king, due west, a large number of cavalry were found. The distance is too far and the number cannot be clearly seen, but it is at least no less than five thousand!"
After a while, a guard rushed over to report.
"Let's go to the city!"
Due west?
Isn't that the direction of Chang'an?
Although it is almost impossible for rebels to come from the direction of Chang'an, in any case, at this sensitive time, you still have to be careful. Liu Deng got off the carriage directly, took the guards behind him, and went straight to the top of the city. go.
After climbing the city wall, I saw that a line of smoke had indeed appeared on the horizon in the distance.
They came very quickly, and it took them less than half an hour to reach the gates of Jinyang City.
"Who are you?"
Du Ziteng immediately asked loudly.
"Luan Bu, the general of chariots and cavalry, has been ordered to serve under His Highness the King of Dai. Please report to His Highness the King of Dai as soon as possible."
Chariot general Luan Bu?
Liu Deng's eyes widened immediately. This old guy is really amazing. No wonder he asked him to pick him up in person. After talking for a long time, it turned out to be the cavalry general Luan Bu!
"I am the acting king Liu Deng, where is General Luan?"
After a brief moment of astonishment, Liu Deng immediately reacted and shouted loudly towards the city.
"Luan Bu, I see His Highness the King of Dai, please forgive me for wearing my armor and not being able to perform the full ceremony!"
As soon as Liu Deng finished speaking, a burly man rushed out from the cavalry under the city.
Even though he was riding on horseback, you could still see that he was extremely tall, a full head taller than the soldiers around him.
"It is indeed General Luan Bu, open the city gate quickly!"
Although Liu Deng and Luan Bu had no close friendship before, they had met several times in the court.
I really didn't expect that at this time, Luan Bu would actually lead his troops here, although judging from the cavalry behind him, there shouldn't be many people.
But his arrival was really a timely help for Liu Deng.
Liu Deng now somewhat believes Zhang Shisan's words. Maybe he can really get 50,000 elite soldiers.
"The last general, Luan Bu, has been ordered by the Holy Lord to lead five thousand cavalry and come to serve His Highness the King!"
As soon as the city gate opened, Liu Deng came out in a hurry. Luan Bu immediately turned over, dismounted and knelt on one knee in front of Liu Deng.
If it were other princes and kings, he might still feel a little bit unwilling, but Liu Deng was the only exception among the kings surnamed Liu.
Over the past year or so, the Dai army has fought with great prowess, and Liu Deng has personally gone into battle several times, beating the Huns into panic.
Not to mention the young generals, even veterans like Luan Bu yearned for Liu Deng.
It's always been like this in the military camp. If you have great ability, you can suppress others. If you don't have the ability, you will still be looked down upon even if you are in a high position.
"General Luan, please wake up quickly. You are really my senior! Now that the general is here, Liu Deng is even more powerful. Let the generals go to the west military camp to rest first. General, follow me. How about going back home and meeting an acquaintance?"
Ever since Zhang Shisan made the original secret clear, Liu Deng's heart was filled with curiosity. According to Liu Deng's guess, Luan Bu must have known Zhang Shisan.
Maybe Zhang Shisan himself had a hand in what happened back then.
Otherwise, how could he know such a secret thing so clearly.
Whether it is Luan Bu or Chen Ping, they both hold high positions.
If Zhang Shisan didn't have some skills, they would have killed him and silenced him long ago.
He was really becoming more and more curious about Zhang Shisan's identity. Taking Luan Bu back at this time could just confirm his guess, and also express his goodwill to Luan Bu.
"acquaintance?"
Luan Bu was stunned. He was really curious. When did he have any acquaintances here?
"Yes, the general will know it at a glance!"
Liu Deng looked mysterious and refused to reveal anything.
"Your Highness, wait a moment, I will go and make arrangements first!"
Luan Bu was really flattered. In any case, this was Liu Deng taking the initiative to express goodwill to him.
Luan Bu's identity was a bit embarrassing. Although he was considered a veteran, he was still not allowed to be reused in the court because Empress Lu was offended by Peng Yue's affairs.
Although he has gained a good reputation among the scholars, until now, he has not even been able to make it to the imperial level.
Now that Liu Deng has taken the initiative to express goodwill to him, is it not an opportunity for him?
"General, just do what you want, I'm waiting here for you, General!"
Liu Deng smiled at Luan Bu and then cupped his hands.
Luan Bu was immediately flattered, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Liu Deng in return, and then hurriedly turned around to arrange military affairs.
After struggling for more than half an hour, the army roared towards the military camp in the west of the city, and he came to Liu Deng's carriage.
"General, it's been a long journey on this hot summer day. I think it's better to get in the car and rest first, and let them hold the horse first!"
Seeing him sweating profusely, Liu Deng said with a smile.
"I'm afraid this is inconsistent with etiquette..."
After all, as Liu Deng was the king of the vassals, his chariot and chariot were not something that a general like Luan Bu could ride on casually.
"Is there any agreement? This is in Jinyang City, not Chang'an City. Besides, the general has had a hard time traveling all the way. I just have something to talk to the general about in detail!"
"Then thank you so much for your love, Your Majesty!"
Luan Bu was a little flattered and carefully got on Liu Deng's carriage. After opening the door, he was stunned.
In Liu Deng's carriage, there were two huge ice basins piled with two huge ice cubes. It was really cold inside the carriage.
It seems that the enjoyment of these princes and kings is really beyond what they can imagine.
But then his face returned to normal. Unlike the other kings surnamed Liu, Liu Deng truly made his fortune from scratch.
In less than a year, the entire Dai Kingdom has gone from having a problem with food to becoming one of the most powerful countries in the world. What if such a great king has a more extravagant private life?
"I'm a little shy about summer, so I can't live without ice in summer. It makes the general laugh!"
Watching Luan Bu's eyes fall on the ice, Liu Deng explained with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. With your current status, it is only normal for you to just use some ice cubes!"
Since people expressed goodwill, Luan Bu naturally had to follow up.
One person was willing to welcome him and the other was trying to win over him. The atmosphere of the conversation in the carriage suddenly became more relaxed...
