"Zilong, run, run! Xianhe, are you there? Run!"
Mi Fang rode up to the city and shouted at the top of her lungs.
He saw the scene of the three cavalry attacking the city just now, and also saw the rain of arrows on the city like locusts when the three cavalry attacked. When they retreated, not a single arrow came after them.
He saw Zhao Yun's figure flashing on the city wall, but because Jian Yong did not dare to move forward, he did not know if Jian Yong was there.
He also saw Wu Ju's fat body.
When Huang Zhong shouted for Ou Jing's head to be attached to the city wall, Mi Fang knew that it was too late.
No one on the city wall knew better than him that Qu Jing must be dead, but what would Wu Ju guess when he saw Qu Jing's head?
Over the past six months, Mi Fang has endured too much pain. When something unexpected happened, he immediately thought of something that Jian Yong could not even dream of.
Those scribes believed in many creeds and could not understand the dangers of human nature.
"Run!"
Mi Fang shouted one last time, then reined in her horse and headed north without looking back.
As for younger sisters Mi Zhen and Adou...
Thinking of her sister Mi Zhen, Mi Fang closed her eyes in pain. When she opened them again, she had already made up her mind.
He did not go to Fengyang in the north, where he would only encounter Guan Qiujian's troops. This time he headed north to the Lishui River in the northwest, and would enter Wuling along the Lishui River to follow Liu Bei's footsteps.
When Zhao Yun looked down from the city wall, what he saw was Mi Fang's leaving figure, and the sound of "running" still echoed in the city wall.
Zhao Yun didn't understand at first why Mi Fang ran or why she persuaded him to run, but when he turned around and saw Wu Ju's eyes, he immediately understood.
He was a man of both civil and military skills, and he could see through Wu Ju's thoughts with just one glance.
Like Jian Yong, Zhao Yun's heart sank to the bottom.
Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "Prefect Wu, my master has an old relationship with you. If you really want to open the city and subjugate the thieves, please give me and four other people a way out."
Zhao Yun clasped his fists as he spoke. The four people were of course Jian Yong, Mi Zhen, Adou and himself.
Wu Ju's eyes were a little wandering, but he quickly made up his mind.
He actually changed his expression and put on a calm expression.
He actually burst into laughter: "General Zhao, Duke Xuande and I are close friends, but you are a retainer of Duke Xuande, so naturally I will not restrict your actions."
Zhao Yun was overjoyed, but Wu Ju soon made his mood fall to the bottom again.
"Since I am such a close friend of Duke Xuande, I would like to recognize his son Adou as my adopted son, take care of his food, clothing, and daily life, teach him poetry, calligraphy, and martial arts. I can also help him when Duke Xuande becomes more powerful."
Wu Ju said the cold-blooded words with a smile, and Zhao Yun looked stiff.
Jian Yong's arms were shaking after hearing this.
Wu Ju's meaning was obvious. As retainers, he and Zhao Yun could leave, but Adou could not.
The feud between Cao Cao and Liu Bei has been going on for a long time. Cao Cao had newly acquired Nanyang, and he did not hesitate to let tigers and leopards ride at full speed, traveling three hundred miles a day and night, to pursue Liu Bei. Later, Jingzhou was conquered, and Cao Cao deployed hundreds of thousands of troops to advance. Liu Bei of Xiakou.
Under this situation, if Wu Ju can get Liu Bei's only biological son, which is his certificate of surrender, he will surely have a bright future after opening the city.
Jian Yong searched for words in his mind. He wanted to name a person who surrendered to Cao Cao but had a bad ending, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't think of it.
Whether it was Zhang Xiu who once harmed Cao Cao, or Kou Changxi, the Taishan bandit who kept rebelling, Cao Cao seemed to have never treated them badly.
Jian Yong didn't think of a countermeasure, but Zhao Yun couldn't help but said: "Adou is my lord's only flesh and blood, I must take him away!"
Wu Ju smiled and said, "What about Mrs. Mi?"
"this……"
Zhao Yun and Jian Yong looked at each other, both of them were embarrassed, but they felt that after all, the matter was not in a situation where Mi Fang said they should run away, so they always had to discuss it.
Wu Ju obviously planned to take his time and did not directly suppress the two of them. He sighed again: "I was tricked by others and mistakenly thought that Cao Jun was coming to seize me Cangwu, so I asked the district captain to go north to fight. The result was unexpectedly Captain District lost his life. I am deeply guilty of this."
After sighing for a few times, he added: "But after General Huang exposed this matter, I realized that Cao Jun really came to escort Manzhou Mu. A few days ago, I entertained Manzhou Mu with good food and drinks, and gave him a gift. If I go to Jiaozhi County to take up my post, I believe that General Beifu will not embarrass me because of my hard work."
The more he spoke, the more disgusted Zhao Yun felt. How could the lord make such a duplicitous friend? Every word he spoke with a smile was like a knife piercing Zhao Yun's heart.
If Zhao Yun didn't like Cao Jun, he still admired powerful figures like Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao, but Wu Ju's words and deeds today really made him angry.
Jian Yong pulled his sleeve and signaled him not to be anxious, and said patiently: "Prefect Wu, if you open the city now, Cao Jun will only support you, but you will not have the chance to rule the place. I miss Kuai Yi of Jingzhou." Du, what a graceful person, after Liu Jingsheng died, he let Jingzhou return to the north, and he was forced to join the court and became a minister of Guanglu, and could no longer govern."
Jian Yong thought of a countermeasure, which was to find people from those who surrendered to Cao Cao, so that Wu Ju could understand that surrender would only be ignored.
Unexpectedly, when Wu Ju heard the words "Guang Lu Qing", his eyes lit up and he said, "Xianhe, can I also be a Jiu Qing?"
After all, he is different from Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang. Kuai can be said to be the second-largest person in Jingzhou, controlling the land of nine counties, but he only has one county. If he can really be a Jiuqing, why not go to Xudu to enjoy the blessings?
If given the chance, he would of course still want to separate his kingdom here, but if he couldn't defeat Cao Jun, he would have to settle for the next best thing and go to Xudu to become a high official. It was better than suffering in the smog-filled land.
Jian Yong shook his head helplessly. He knew that Wu Ju had made up his mind and could no longer be persuaded.
So he pulled Zhao Yun and wanted to go to the city first.
At this moment, everyone heard a voice and their expressions changed.
It was a drumbeat.
Wu Ju quickly ran to the city wall and immediately saw Cao's army stationed outside the city in action, and the sound of drums came from there.
"Boom! Boom!"
Huang Zhong and others had already returned to the camp, where the sound of war drums mobilized the soldiers one by one. The entire Cao Jun camp seemed to be in action, and a team of thousands of people had already walked out of the camp gate.
Not surprisingly, they had only one goal, and that was Wu Ju's Guangxin City.
"No, no, don't come now!"
Wu Ju's eyes widened. He did not expect that Cao Jun would not give him any chance to breathe.
In fact, after a day of fighting, it was already afternoon. If Cao Jun attacked now, it would be easy to fight until dark. By then, if the city wall could not be taken down, the withdrawing troops would suffer losses.
But Cao Jun chose this time. Obviously, Cao Jun was forcing him to make a decision.
Wu Ju's mind was buzzing, and he clenched his fat hands tightly, finally making up his mind.
"Come here, catch Jian Yong and Zhao Yun, these two Liu Bei rebels against the party. Liu Bei disobeys the emperor and commits rebellion. Anyone who catches Jian Yong and Zhao Yun will be heavily rewarded!"
