Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

Wan County is where Lujiang County is located. The city is not big, but it is where the ferry that strangles the Yangtze River goes northward, opposite Hefei.Winning this city means that Sun Ce will have a foothold in the northward struggle since then.

Li Mu didn't know the strategic significance of this city at all, she only knew that there were two women whose reputations have been passed down through the ages.

There is Mr. Qiao in Wan County, and Mr. Qiao has two daughters.The first is Da Qiao, the second is Xiao Qiao. Da Qiao married Sun Ce, and Xiao Qiao Xu Zhou Yu. From then on, the hero and beauty have achieved countless works of literati and poets, as well as a good story sung in history.

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yu.

The drizzle seemed to draw a winding veil between the sky and the earth, and the dark mountain shadow reflected the dark gray sky, like a slowly unfolding splash-ink painting.Zhou Yu rode slowly beside her, handsome and handsome, so handsome that people couldn't tell whether it was a person walking in the painting or a person walking in the painting.

The water droplets densely covered on the silver armor are dense and dense, and the rainwater gathers little by little, and then turns into a series of meandering water spots and rolls down, as if slipping from the heart of the person, bringing a gentle breeze in a roundabout way. Itchy, obviously very close, but can't touch it.

Zhou Yu was explaining to Li Mu how to act before accepting the surrender, and what needs to be paid attention to when answering the question, and what should be paid attention to when the result is sealed.

Li Mu came back to his senses and gave him a hard look—a man who never refuses anyone!

Zhou Yu was inexplicably stared at by her, but when she saw the little girl turn around, she immediately straightened her back, let out a shout, and drove the horse forward a few steps, brushing past him, looking solemn and mature, just like the one who stared at her before. The mood of Mei's little daughter has never appeared before.

Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing, followed up with a drink, and urged the horse to catch up with two steps.

The distance between the front army and the rear army is less than [-] miles, and with the width of the front army array, in fact, after walking for a long time, you can see soldiers, horses, and horses scattered in the rain and fog ahead, with banners waving, bright armor, spears and spears. Rulin, even the air gradually filled with a murderous aura that could not dissipate.

"Ugh-"

Zhou Yu led Li Mu through the army, and wherever he went, rows of soldiers with spears and halberds blew their horns, high-pitched and loud, and went straight to the sky. In an instant, war drums sounded from all sides, like thunder in the mountains, dull and distant , shocking.

The neat formation split from the center to the two sides, stretching out like a wild goose spreading its wings. Li Mu slowly stepped out of the formation, not to mention nervous, but the palms of the hands holding the reins were already full of sweat.

While wandering around, she looked back.Zhou Yu followed behind her, saw her turn around, smiled at her, got off the horse, took a long robe from the soldier next to him, held it in his hand, and nodded slightly to her.

Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang County, stationed troops to find Yang, and Yan Lian, the magistrate of Wan County, was very insightful. After hearing the news that Xuancheng was besieged, he thought that Sun Ce might send troops to rescue him. It is very likely that it will become Sun Ce's next target after saving Xuancheng.So he immediately sent someone to ask Liu Xun for help and food, just in case.

It's just that Liu Xun was short-sighted, thinking that Sun Ce had already attacked the Lujiang River under Yuan Shu's command, and he intended to betray Yuan Shu by raising troops so far, and he was skeptical of Yan Lianzhi's words.

Until Zhou Yu's troops approached the city, Yan Lian's troops were insufficient and food and grass were running out, but Zhou Yu's strategy was to besiege the city and fight for reinforcements.As long as someone in the city rushes out to ask for help, he will let them go, and as soon as Liu Xun comes, he will immediately turn around with the advantage of cavalry, and go straight for Xunyang, so that Liu Xun has no intention of joining forces with Yan Lian inside and outside, and runs around in vain.And if Liu Xun doesn't come... the hearts of the people in the city will be broken, and besieging the city to fight for aid will become a strategy to attack the heart.

Sure enough, when Liu Xun heard that Zhou Yu's soldiers had arrived, he shut his doors behind closed doors. Yan Lian led the soldiers and people in the city to guard for several days, but had no choice but to open the city and surrender.

As for the gift of surrender, Li Mu, who is still Sun Quan, naturally cannot escape even if he escapes.

Li Mu pursed his lips, stepped on the cloth and dismounted slowly, feeling a little uncertain.She still doesn't know much about the complicated etiquette of this era. Most of the time, she just follows the gourd, and she follows what others do.Anyway, she was dressed in men's clothing and was in the army, so not many people cared about her carefully.

But the magistrate of Anhui County should obviously be someone who is familiar with etiquette. If she made a mistake, Zhou Yu's military prestige, which was spelled out with blood and sweat, would be ruined by her.

The armor on her body weighed heavily on her shoulders, making her movements clumsy and difficult.Li Mu quickly went through the coping with surrender that Zhou Yu had mentioned along the way.See the ceremony first, then put on a robe, wait for the other party to present the seal and ribbon, and then salute to show kinship and humility. Ask the people in the city, saying that the officials will not stay in their posts for the time being, and the soldiers will be reorganized. The residence in the city only needs to be set aside in a corner of the county That's it.

etc!What should the county magistrate of Wan be called?Envoy?Or Lingjun?

A hundred steps away, only empty flagpoles remained on the taupe city wall of Wan County, and all the flags had been removed.The suspension bridge fell, and the city gate was wide open. Dozens of officials with loose hair and no coats walked across the suspension bridge. One of them stood in the rain holding a printed silk book in his hand. meaning.

Li Mu's eyes drifted to that side, and the back of his hand suddenly felt warm, but it was Zhou Yu who handed her the outer robe, and firmly squeezed her hand under the robe.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was also following, Li Mu was inexplicably sure, and slowly clenched his fists, stretched out his hand to take the robe, hung it on his elbow, nodded at him, and turned to face the official standing in front. go.

"Sun Quan of Wu Commandery, I have met Envoy Yan." Li Mu cupped his hands to the official, and silently said "The first step, see you, finish".

Yan Lian was about 40 years old, with dark skin, his hair was washed by the rain and stuck to his face, and it was mixed with his beard, so he couldn't see his facial features clearly.Tall and thin, he stood in front of Li Mu like a bamboo pole.

Li Mu bowed his hands to him, but he said he didn't dare, but he just bowed his hands and returned the salute with a cold expression: "A defeated army dare not be the king's gift."

Looking at it like this, it seems that he has surrendered reluctantly.

As a human being in two lives, Li Mu is used to being impatient and being raised as a man, so he is the most impatient of this kind of gossip.If you are willing to bet, you must admit defeat, if you can afford it, you must let it go. If you win, you must have the posture of winning, and if you surrender, you must have the awareness to surrender.Rao is the pride of Guan Yu. If he surrendered to Han and not Cao Cao, he would fight for him under Cao Cao's order. How could this Yan Lian not even have this awareness!

In the troubled times, since he had the courage to serve as an official in this battleground, he should be prepared to be attacked by soldiers from time to time.Either fight or surrender, even if he dies in the city, according to the standards of this era, he must be praised for his stamina.But he couldn't fight, and he fell like this... If he is unwilling, what is it?

Is it possible that Zhou Yu is really a handsome and benevolent gentleman who is reluctant to kill people and destroy the city?

"Since he is a defeated army, why is there no ceremony of defeating the army?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows and shook off the outer robe hanging between his elbows. Deliberately raised it up, and it was clearly heard by the officials behind, "If Yan Shijun is still standing like this, there is nowhere to wear this robe of Quan, and he will not be able to get off the stage."

Behind her, Zhou Yu raised her eyebrows like a knife, and waved her hand behind her.

The cavalry battalion in the middle behind them galloped out in line, their horseshoes were as fierce as thunder, and they rushed straight to the city gate with an unstoppable momentum. , Murderous.

Bows and arrows cannot be used in the rain, but they are less than two hundred steps away from the city gate. With the swiftness of cavalry, such a short distance can be reached in the blink of an eye.The horse neighed sharply, the sword and gun were cold, and they stopped and lingered beside Li Mu.Even if those dozens of officials were carrying strong crossbows and steel knives, under the coercion of the cavalry, it was too late to use them.And Li Mu only needs to take a step back, and hundreds of cavalry can rush forward immediately, trampling these officials to pieces.

Yan Lian didn't seem to expect her attitude to be so tough, and was at a loss for a while.

"Shi Jun? Yan Shi Jun..." An official behind him lowered his head and took two steps forward, gently tugged at the hem of his skirt, gave a long bow to Li Mu, and bowed to the end.Immediately afterwards, several other officials also came up one after another, bowing to the end.

The rain is getting stronger, and the rain lines are rushing across the air, weaving a fine rain net, covering the sky and covering the earth, covering everything under it.

Yan Lian closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

In his opinion, although Sun Quan is young, in terms of his reaction just now, his decision in the face of danger is probably not inferior to that of his brother Sun Ce.Once the decision to welcome him into the city is made, everyone present will have no room for regret, otherwise the Chen clan in Xiapi will be the best warning.He didn't have the slightest choice. If he had the slightest intention at this moment, after the city was broken, the handsome young man in front of him would not dare to use his family's life to block the city gate...

"Yan Lian is impolite, please invite Mr. Quan to enter the city."

The straight back finally bent down. Li Mu didn't know that the "bad name" of her binding the Chen family to block the city gate had spread, so this Wan county magistrate was afraid.With Zhou Yu's signature calm and confident smile on his face, he raised his arm that was already a little numb under the pressure of the shoulder armor with a little effort, and put the robe on Yan Lian's back.

In the back, Zhou Yu let out a breath slowly, then raised his hand, and ordered the spearmen behind him who had already been on guard to change formation again, retreating to defend the central army.Following the low sound of the horn, he signaled to the Eight Hundred Factions to follow closely behind, and escorted Li Mu into the city.
