Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 375
Zhending County was besieged, and the former commander of the guards in the county was killed. Zhao Yun stepped forward to kill the rebels and, under the authority of the county magistrate, temporarily assumed the responsibility of commanding the troops.

Zhao Yun couldn't leave, and finally Zhao Yu proposed to borrow troops from Zhen's family instead of his brother.

Zhao Yu learned martial arts from her elder brother since she was a child, and even ordinary small schools in the army are no match for her.

So Zhao Yun, who was Zhao Yu's elder brother in Wuji County, was also very relieved, so under the cover of Zhao Yun that night, Zhao Yu quietly left the city and went straight to Wuji County.

…………

Rescue is absolutely imperative, but Zhen Yan is worried about borrowing troops.

If the younger sister of the Zhen family abided by the marriage contract, he would dare to ask Zhang Nan for help. Now both he and the younger sister Zhen Luo have their hearts on Liu Yu's side. It is inevitable to regret the marriage, so how should he speak about borrowing soldiers?

"There seems to be more than 3000 people in the military camp outside the county seat, but... Zhang Nan's purpose of this trip is not to hunt down thieves! Besides, the Zhen family is planning to move south..." Zhen Yan looked embarrassed.

Zhang Nan led his troops to Wuji County to welcome his relatives. If it wasn't for his greed for Erguotou, he would have asked Zhen Luo to return to Hejian County at this moment.

Liu Yu heard Zhen Yan's embarrassment, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, as long as Brother Yanshi does what I say, Zhang Nan will definitely agree to borrow troops!"

Zhen Yan must have unconditional trust in this future brother-in-law, and immediately loosened her frowning brows.

And Zhao Yu was very happy when he heard that he could borrow reinforcements, and he was relieved of Liu Yu's previous "rudeness".

…………

The next day, Zhang Nan hadn't completely sobered up yet, and when he left the room in a daze, he realized that he had slept in Zhen's guest room all night.

"The Zhen family treats me well, and I will spend more time with them in the future. Maybe with this relationship, I can be promoted to a higher level."

Zhang Nan is also very smart. He knows that Zhen Luo is going to be the eldest son Yuan Xi's concubine, so he attaches great importance to the Zhen family. After drinking for a day, it's time to get down to business.

As soon as he walked to the courtyard, he saw Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family, chatting with Liu Yu.

"The weather is fine today, it's time to go back to Hejian, I wonder if Madam is ready?" Zhang Nan walked over with a smile.

"Yes, yes, there is no further delay, it's just..."

Zhen Yan hesitated to speak, as if encountering a difficult situation, at this time Liu Yu also sighed beside him, his face full of worry.

"Brother Zhen, what's the matter?"

Zhang Nan wanted to befriend the Zhen family, he patted his chest and said: "If you don't dislike it, I am willing to help Brother Zhen solve problems!"

"really?"

"Haha, Zhang Nan's words are hard to follow!"

As soon as Zhang Nan boasted that he had left Haikou, Liu Yu hinted that Zhen Yan should hurry up and ask for help.

"My third brother, Zhen Yao, was trapped in Zhending County, and he begged General Zhang to send troops to rescue him."

Zhen Yan briefly talked about the siege of the Black Mountain Army, but Zhang Nan lost his previous enthusiasm after listening.

Zhending County belongs to Changshan County and is the fiefdom of the third son Yuan Shang, and Zhang Nan's boss is the subordinate of Yuan Xi, the prefect of Hejian. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's brothers are at odds.

Furthermore, Zhang Nan's task is to welcome the relatives, and he doesn't want to cause extra complications.

"This trip is a heavy responsibility, and the welcoming team can't delay any longer. Besides, without the order of your son, it's not very good for me to rush to Changshan."

Zhang Nan declined politely, and Zhen Yan became even more anxious.

At this time, Liu Yu took out a bottle of "Erguotou" from his arms, and quietly stuffed it into Zhang Nan's hand.

"Zhending County is only a hundred miles away from here. The general only needs to leave a small number of soldiers and horses to rescue, and it will not delay the journey of the welcoming team."

After Liu Yu whispered a few words, Zhang Nan showed a shocked expression.

"It's filled with yesterday's...spirit?"

"Hehe, that's exactly the case. This item was exchanged between the Zhen family and merchants from the Western Regions. The big man in custody couldn't find a second one."

Then Liu Yu pointed to the bottle again, and said with a smile: "Wine is fine wine, and this bottle is even more valuable! I heard that Master Jizhou Mu really likes drinking and collecting treasures!"

When Zhang Nan drank it yesterday, it was not bottled like this, but poured into the wine jar in advance, so at that time he only felt that he had never drunk such delicious wine, but he had never seen a glass bottle.

Seeing the wine bottle that Liu Yu had cleaned up quickly, Zhang Nan swallowed hard.

What Liu Yu said is right, the delicious taste of "Erguotou" is unforgettable, but it is the crystal clear glass bottle that deeply stimulates Zhang Nan's nerves.

He is also a person who knows what to buy, and he knows that such a bottle cannot be bought with money.

Yuan Xi loves wine, and Yuan Shao must drink it every meal. If you present fine wine with a precious bottle, it will definitely be reused by Yuan's family.

"How much wine and bottles like this do the Zhen family have?"

It was obvious that Zhang Nan was moved, but Liu Yu just smiled and didn't say the specific amount, and Zhen Yan who was on the side hurriedly spoke up.

"I still have some wine and bottles like this at home, but... the third brother must be trapped..."

"Save... if you have wine, save it!"

Zhang Nan expressed his attitude unabashedly.

"How about I leave five hundred elite soldiers under Brother Zhen's command in exchange for five bottles of this wine and bottles?"

As soon as Zhen Yan heard that there was a door, she was happy to agree, but when she heard Liu Yu coughed, she quickly sullen her face again.

Zhang Nan thought that they thought they had too few soldiers left behind, and wondered whether to keep more soldiers and horses. The next moment Liu Yu took out four more bottles of "Erguotou" from his arms like a magic trick.

"Haha... The Zhen family is really proud!"

Zhang Nan took it as if he had found a treasure.

"Actually, there are still some wine and bottles like this in the backyard!"

"What!" Originally, Zhang Nan thought that the five bottles were all treasures of the Zhen family, but Liu Yu said there were more.

"As many as there are in the backyard, I want them all!"

"Hey, how much is left? It seems that there are not too many."

Liu Yu thought for a moment and decided to snap his fingers and count carefully, only to see Zhang Nan's greedy gaze flickering with the number of fingers stretched out.

So Liu Yu knew that the borrowing of soldiers was done.

"I've done some calculations... If General Zhang is willing to leave another 300 people to help rescue Zhending County, the Zhen family's wine cellar can be completely emptied!"

"No problem, I will send people to assemble the team!"

Zhang Nan agreed without even thinking about it. In his opinion, it was just borrowing soldiers, and the soldiers would still be his sooner or later.

And even if 800 people were injured, it didn't matter, because with the only 28 bottles of fine wine and treasure bottles in the entire Han Dynasty, he could definitely ask Yuan Shao for more military power.

3000 people borrowed 800 people, but Zhang Nan's return plan remained unchanged. After breakfast, he would return to Hejian with the remaining 200 people.

Bing was overjoyed by Zhao Yu, but the younger sister of the Zhen family wanted to leave with the wedding procession, which made Zhen Luo very anxious.
