Zhang Xun is almost forty years old, tall and brave. Because he knew a few words and knew a little bit about the art of war, he was one of the best generals under Yuan Shu. Zhang Xun always believed that unlike reckless generals like Ji Ling, he was a wise general.
Zhang Xun was wearing armor and riding a horse, squinting at the Huoxian city in the distance.
A proud look appeared on his face. As he approached the county seat, he received news from the sentinel that the magistrate of Huo County and his men arrived at the gate of the city ready to surrender.
After all, Lu'an County was defeated.
Huo County can’t stop it either.
Previously, Sun Ce led his men south to attack Lujiang County, but the counties did not resist and allowed Sun Ce to go south. Now Lu Xuan's strategy is still to gather troops in Shu County to resist. Therefore, Huo County's power alone cannot stop it.
It is normal for the magistrate of Huo County to surrender.
Zhang Xun strode forward on his horse. When he approached the outside of Beicheng, Zhang Xun raised his hand and the army stopped immediately.
Zhang Xun himself also rode his horse and stopped.
Lu Xuan dressed up as Peng Zhou, held the county magistrate's seal and ribbon, and strode out with a group of people. When Lu Xuan was still about ten steps away from Zhang Xun, he stopped, leaned forward slightly, and said loudly: "Peng Zhou, the magistrate of Huo County, pays homage to General Zhang."
Zhang Xun looked at the city, then stared at Lu Xuan and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Xuan replied: "The sinner is willing to hand over Huo County with the county magistrate's seal and ask General Zhang to accept him. The sinner has also heard that General Yuan is magnificent and asks General Zhang to recommend him so that the sinner can serve General Yuan."
Zhang Xun narrowed his eyes, looked at Lu Xuan carefully, and said calmly: "Peng Zhou, not everyone can submit to the lord."
Lu Xuandao: "General Zhang, I have important news for you. Please come closer and talk."
"come on."
Zhang Xun looked confident.
He didn't take 'Peng Zhou' seriously at all. What use could a mere county magistrate with no power to restrain a chicken do?
Lu Xuan got closer and did not take action immediately because this was not the best time.
Lu Xuan stopped, lowered his voice slightly, and reported: "The criminal has collected twenty young women in Huo County, all of them are young girls, beautiful as flowers, and is willing to dedicate them all to General Zhang. In addition, the criminal has also prepared a hundred young women. Two pieces of gold, General Zhang, please accept it."
Zhang Xun was a little surprised, his eyes became more joyful, and he said in a deep voice: "You are the parent officer of Huo County, and you are actually searching for women?"
Lu Xuan looked like a slightly proud villain and said: "Reporting to General Zhang, everything is for survival. Therefore, the sinner opened a brothel in the city, and daily collected some women and sent them to the brothel for training. This There are twenty excellent ones, all dedicated to General Zhang."
"Hahaha……"
Zhang Xun laughed.
interesting!
This person is interesting.
Zhang Xun stroked his beard under his chin, nodded and said: "Peng County Magistrate, those who know the current affairs are heroes, you have done a good job. I agreed to your request, and I promise to introduce you to the lord. Your seal and ribbon are also Keep it yourself."
Lu Xuan looked like he was slightly relieved. He handed the seal and ribbon to the attendant beside him, clasped his hands together again, bowed and said: "General Zhang is kind and righteous, I admire him for his humble position. Alas, if I could have met General Zhang earlier, I would have been able to I came into contact with General Yuan earlier.”
"Peng Zhou, lead the way into the city."
At this moment, Zhang Xun couldn't wait.
He looked at his personal followers and ordered: "Give me the order, the army will be stationed outside. This time, I will enter the city with only my personal guards."
Lu Xuan looked like he was hesitating to speak.
Zhang Xun asked: "Magistrate Peng, you hesitate to speak. Do you have anything to say?"
Lu Xuan looked anxious and said: "General Zhang, Lu Xuan is very cunning. He made a sneak attack on Hefei last time. The army is stationed outside, and it will be bad if it is attacked by a sneak attack. The villain suggests that you arrange for someone to take over my Sifang City first, and then let The army has entered the city to rest. This way, there is nothing to worry about."
Zhang Xun smiled contemptuously and said confidently: "Lu Xuan is nothing to be afraid of. What's more, Lu Xuan's army is in Shu County. It is impossible for him to make a sneak attack and there is no chance for a sneak attack. You let me control the Sifang City because you are worried that I will doubt you. Really? Don’t worry, I believe you.”
"Remember, I am not the inexperienced Sun Ce. He is a waste. He ruined six thousand elites. I am not a waste and cannot be plotted. My army is outside and is too lazy to enter the city."
Zhang Xun waved his hand and ordered: "You just arrange for people to deliver the food."
"As you command!"
Lu Xuan answered respectfully.
A smile flashed in his eyes.
If Zhang Xun brings people into the city, the situation will be slightly more complicated. Now, Zhang Xun has left the army behind, and this is the best result.
Lu Xuan's words seemed to invite Zhang Xun to enter the city, but in fact, they were just to let Zhang Xun keep his army, which would help Lu Xuan take action.
Lu Xuan walked to Zhang Xun and said, "General Zhang, please allow me to hold your horse for you."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Zhang Xun applauded one after another.
The way he looked at Lu Xuan became more and more appreciative.
Peng Zhou, the county magistrate, is very knowledgeable and knows the rules. He likes to deal with such people. But think about it, a person who can run a brothel must know how to run a business. This is normal.
Such people are interesting.
Thinking that Peng Zhou would give him twenty women, Zhang Xun's heart became hot.
This time, there is something to play with.
Lu Xuan took the horse's rein and led Zhang Xun towards the city. Lu Xuan walked in the front, followed by Zhang Xun's personal guards, and finally the black-armored soldiers pretending to be assistant officials and government servants. In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan led the horse into the city.
At this moment, Zhang Xun completely entered the city.
Lu Xuan let go of the horse's hand and suddenly pointed forward and said: "General Zhang, please look at the street in front. We will keep walking along the street. We will arrive at the county government office in a quarter of an hour at most."
"very good."
Zhang Xun praised again.
He looked in the direction of the county government office, but for a moment of distraction, Lu Xuan's hand instantly grabbed Zhang Xun's right leg. At the same time, Lu Xuan's right hand also grabbed it like lightning.
"Come down here!"
Lu Xuan growled.
With both hands exerting force, Zhang Xun was not prepared for the explosion of Pei Ran's power. He was caught off guard and his burly body was dragged directly from the horse and fell to the ground.
boom! !
Zhang Xun fell to the ground, a little dazed and his head was buzzing.
Sensing the danger, he reflexively stretched out his hand and quickly propped himself on the ground to get up. But the moment he exerted his strength, a cold light suddenly appeared in Lu Xuan's hand, and the dagger came out of his sleeve and rested on Zhang Xun's neck.
Zhila!
The dagger was sharp and cut slightly, severing Zhang Xun's neck, and a trace of blood immediately spilled out.
"Don't move, don't move, don't kill me."
Zhang Xun felt the threat coming from the dagger, and his whole body was even more panicked. He no longer had the arrogance and air before, only endless panic and worry remained.
