The night when the eunuch Mi Ying stabbed Tian to death, the Han army probing outside the palace discovered a strange movement and immediately notified Li Fu that Li Fu knew that something happened in the palace had happened, so he immediately evacuated Jucai Tavern. However, Cao's army did not come to investigate Jucai Tavern. Li Fu sent someone to inquire about Mi Ying's situation and found out that he had died strangely shortly after being arrested. No one knew the cause of death. It is said that he committed suicide by taking poison.

Li Fu knew how dark the transaction was in Ye Palace. It was obviously because someone was afraid that Mi Ying would say something he shouldn't have said, so he poisoned him. But that's fine, the death of Liu Xie became a headless case.

Not long after the Han King Liu Jing issued the edict, Li Fu rushed to Qiao County.

In a small tavern in Chengfu County, Master Jin poured Li Fu a glass of wine and asked with a smile: "Mr. Li doesn't even drink wine in Ye, do you feel unhappy?"

"How could I not drink alcohol? It's just that Yedu is depressed and uncomfortable, so it's better to be free outside."

Li Fu drank the wine and asked in a low voice: "How is Zhang Li's progressing?"

Mr. Jin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Mr. Li, please rest assured. I, Jin, always say a little bit about my business. If I am not sure, I will not take on this job. Let me tell you this! I will decide the title of this marquis. You can go to see Zhang Li at any time."

"Did you tell Zhang Li directly?"

"It's not true that it's true, but both sides know it well. It's not unfair to kill ten heads when he's done."

Mr. Jin lowered his voice and laughed: "He came to me yesterday and asked me if I knew the people from the Han army and helped him with the help. He heard that Cao Ren was going to come to Qiao County in person to check the combat readiness, and he was very scared."

Li Fu pondered for a moment and asked, "When will Cao Ren come to Qiao County for verification?"

"It's not accurate to say specifically, but it shouldn't be long. I guess the situation is already very tense in these few days, and this matter can't be delayed for long."

Li Fu thought about it and immediately made a decision: "Since that's the case, let's go to the military camp now."

...

Since Zhang Li started a tincture oil business with Li Fu, he continued to trade several weapons. He became more and more courageous and actually sold all the military crossbows to Li Fu and bought the same number of spears from Li Fu. As a result, the crossbow soldiers turned into spear soldiers, and he made huge profits from the middle.

In fact, Zhang Licheng knew that the first time he cooperated with Li Fu, the turmeric oil was actually sold to the Han army. It would never be a black flag army. Not to mention that the Black Flag Army had long been annihilated by the Han army. Even if they are still there, they would not be able to transport the turmeric oil there.

He knew very well that the Black Flag Army was just an excuse. As long as both sides did not say it out loud, he would be happy to pretend to be stupid and make money. He was originally from the Yellow Turban thief, so he did not care about the interests of the Cao army or the Han army. He only considered his own interests.

But just two days ago, Zhang Li received news from Niu Jin who sent someone. Xuzhou Governor Cao Ren will soon come to Qiao County to inspect the war preparations. Niu Jin asked him to prepare, but in fact he was hinting him to immediately plug all loopholes and not be unable to be found by Cao Ren.

This news scared Zhang Li to his legs weak. He had lost so many weapons and turmeric oil, so how could he make up for it? He knew that as long as Cao Ren came to the city father's camp, he would immediately see the problem, and his life would be difficult to save at that time.

Zhang Li was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night. The next day he went to ask Mr. Jin for help, hinting that he was willing to surrender to the Han army and begged Mr. Jin to take him to help him. After two days of worry, Mr. Jin took Li Fu to Zhang Li's military camp.

Zhang Li invited Li Fu into his private tent just like offering sacrifices to the Bodhisattva. Li Fu sat down and asked first: "I heard from Master Jin that Cao Ren is coming to check his combat preparations. I wonder when will he come here?"

"I don't know when it will come, but he will definitely check the combat preparations of Qiao County first. He has not arrived in Qiao County yet. Then, I personally think it's about five days to come to Chengfu County at least.

Speaking of this, Zhang Li was no longer implicit and said directly: "I know Mr. Li has a relationship with the Han army. We all know it well. I only beg Mr. Li to take care of me. I am willing to surrender to the Han army."

Li Fu smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, General Zhang, I do have a business relationship with the Han army and I also know a few senior officials of the Han army, but I want to know what kind of guarantee General Zhang can give me so that the Han army can believe me, no! I believe in General Zhang."

"This..." Zhang Li was a little embarrassed. What kind of guarantee was asked to make him? Now that he is in trouble, Li Fu knows this better than anyone else, so what else is there to guarantee.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Jin Ye reminded him, "Actually, isn't General Zhang's son the best guarantee?"

Zhang Li took a breath. He had two daughters in his hometown, one of whom was married, and the son was a little silly, so he later married several concubines, one of whom was very proud and gave birth to a smart and cute child for him.

This is Zhang Li's treasure, and he has been with him. He is already ten years old this year. Zhang Li bought a house in the county town and let his concubine live with him. He would go back to the mansion to spend the night every day. At this time, Master Jin reminded him to use his son as a hostage, which made his heart messed up.

Li Fu smiled and advised him: "General Zhang handed over his arrogance to the Han army, and the Han army naturally trusted the general's sincerity. As for the general's safety, I can guarantee it."

"You?" Zhang Li looked at Li Fu in confusion. Seeing Li Fu's smile with a hint of pride, he suddenly understood and stared at Li Fu and said, "Who are you?"

"I might as well tell the general frankly that I am not a businessman, I am Li Fu, a Sima of the Han Army."

As he said that, Li Fu took out a gold medal and handed it to Zhang Li. This was his identity card. The gold medal represents an officer or a counselor above the general. Of course, Zhang Li understood. He was shocked. This person has a great status! He quickly bowed and said, "I don't know if it's Li Sima, so I'm rude."

Li Fu smiled and said, "I will stay in the military camp to not only guarantee your safety, but also guarantee the general's glory and wealth."

Zhang Li was afraid that after he surrendered to the Han army, he would be chased by the Han army and reselled weapons to earn gold. Now Li Fu promised to guarantee his wealth and was willing to stay in his military camp. He finally made up his mind and said to Li Fu: "Then we will make up our minds!"

"Very good, we're determined!"

Li Fu immediately said to Mr. Jin: "Please take your child to Shouchun first. My subordinates will take Mr. Jin to see Mr. Huang. Time is very tight, so Mr. Jin must move quickly."

"Don't worry! I won't miss a big deal, I'll set off right away."

Half an hour later, Mr. Jin took Zhang Li's son and two Li Fu's entourage on board the boat, and the boat sailed along the Wo-shui towards the Huai River.

.........

The Queen of Heaven, a huge fleet of more than five thousand stone warships, sailed to the mouth of the Woshui River. This huge fleet of thousand stone warships was dominated by Liu Hu and Wei Yan as the deputy general, with a total of 20,000 troops. Their target was Chengfu County, with one thousand Han cavalry guards on both sides of the river to prevent Cao's army from throwing huge rocks to the warships from both sides of the river.

Nearly 8,000 Cao troops were stationed in Yicheng County east of the mouth of the Wo Shui River, and they stationed heavily in the county town. The Cao army could not compete with the Han army on the water, so they could only defend the city. At the same time, they pulled a few feet of iron at the entrance of the Wo Shui into the Huai River, blocking the river surface, preventing the Han army warships from entering the Wo Shui to head north.

But for the Han army, this kind of iron blocking the river was meaningless. The Han army sailed under the iron with a ship full of tinder and wood. In less than an hour, the iron as thick as a wrist was burned by the flames and the iron fell into the river. Five Han army warships stretched for dozens of miles and rushed upstream of the Whirlwater.

The Cao army also considered dumping turtle oil on the river surface to burn Han army warships, but they soon found that they could not do it. On the one hand, although there were Han cavalry protecting fleets on both sides of the river bank, it was difficult for Cao army to take action.

On the other hand, because the water surface of the Wohui River is wide and similar to the Huai River, turtle oil will only flow to both sides of the river bank. When the Han army warships sail in the center of the Wohui River, it is difficult for the turtle oil to burn the warships, and the Cao army does not have so much turtle oil to pour in the river. Unless the Cao army has warships fighting against the Han army and throwing turtle oil to the Han army during the battle, it is unrealistic to burn ships on such a wide river surface.

As soon as the Han army headed north, two days later, the Han army fleet arrived in Chengfu County. Several warships began to dock. A team of soldiers quickly landed. The Cao army general Zhang Li was waiting on the shore accompanied by Li Fu.

When Liu Hu walked up the shore from the bow of the boat, Zhang Li immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said, "I am not good at judging General Hu!"

Liu Hu saw thousands of Cao army soldiers in the distance, all of whom had put down their weapons. He was quite satisfied and stepped forward to help Zhang Li up and smiled: "General Zhang abandoned the secret and turned to the light, and was willing to be loyal to the King of Han and revived the Han Dynasty. It is admirable. From today on, General Zhang is a member of the Han general."

Zhang Li felt really ashamed. He did not want to be executed by Cao Ren, but he did not dare to express his selfishness, so he had to vaguely say: "I am willing to be loyal to the King of Han!"

Liu Hu really despised the Cao army general who was in front of him who was forgetful of his righteousness. If he had followed his temper, he would have killed him with one knife. However, Sima Yi repeatedly explained before he left that it would not affect the surrender of the Cao army general later. He could undermine Zhang Li's military power, but he could not kill him for the time being and would pay attention to it later.

Liu Hu took out a military talisman and handed it to him and said with a smile: "The King of Han has an order to grant General Zhang the Marquis of Guannei and add the commander of Yuzhang. This is the seal of the marquis. General Zhang goes to Yuzhang County to take office. In addition, General Zhang is in Shouchun, so he can go to Shouchun first and then take office."

Zhang Li didn't expect that Liu Jing would actually make him the Marquis of Guannei, which made him overjoyed. He quickly took the seal and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward, I will go to Shouchun now."

Liu Hu smiled again: "According to the Han military system, General Zhang's Qujun's Qujun needs to be reorganized. We will send the reorganized Qujun to Yuzhang County to station. Please wait patiently for a month or two."

Zhang Li was not stupid. He suddenly understood a little. After the reorganization of his music department, he was all broken up and he would not return it to him. He felt really uncomfortable, but when he thought that he was still in Shouchun, he had to hold back his dissatisfaction and said, "Thank you, General Hu, for considering it carefully."

He was helpless and turned around and glared at Li Fu with hatred. Then he boarded a warship. Under the escort of dozens of soldiers, the warship sailed south.

Liu Hu looked at Zhang Li being sent away, sneered coldly, and immediately ordered: "Receive Cao's surrendered troops and take over the defense of Chengfu County!"

At this time, Cao Ren was on his way to Chengfu County. He suddenly received a report that Zhang Li surrendered to the Han army. The 20,000 Han army had captured Chengfu County under the leadership of Liu Hu. Cao Ren was shocked and hurriedly led thousands of guards to retreat to Qiao County, and then rushed back to Xuzhou to re-deploy the defense.

The Han army instigated Zhang Li to rebel and seized Chengfu County, one of the major towns in Qiao County. Then, they stationed 20,000 troops in Chengfu County, directly threatening the safety of Qiao County. This was undoubtedly a stab in Qiao County's confidant.
