When the Jiangxia army was blocked, the Cao army vanguard was forced to withdraw his troops for several miles, and the Jiangxia army also quickly evacuated. At this time, Cao Cao was surrounded by a large army, and a general came forward to report: "Report to the Prime Minister, I have been ambushed by the Jiangxia army in front. I don't know how many troops Liu Bei and Zhao Yun have been rescued by the Jiangxia army."

Cao Cao was shocked and suspected that the Jiangxia army actually appeared. After thinking for a moment, he realized that this must be the army coming from Jingling County.

At this time, Xu Huang rode on a horse and immediately reported loudly: "Prime Minister, it was Liu Jing who personally led a large army to intercept him. There are estimated that there are tens of thousands of people. Now they have retreated eastward. May I ask the Prime Minister, do we want to chase him?"

Cao Cao looked back at Cheng Yu, "What does Zhongde mean?"

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Jingling County is close to the Han River, and Liu Bei must have been sent onto a large ship. Our terrain is not familiar with this area and there are many waters. If you pursue it rashly, once you fall into an ambush, it will be more than worth the loss."

Cao Cao was quite afraid of Liu Jing, and he didn't dare to pursue him rashly, so he nodded, "Zhongde said it well, winning Jiangling is the key to strategy."

He immediately said to Xu Huangling: "Since the Jiangxia army has retreated, we can ignore it for the time being. The vanguard will turn around and move south to occupy Jiangling."

Just a quarter of an hour later, 100,000 Cao troops turned around and rushed towards Jiangling City.

.........

In the Jingling County military camp, the Jiangxia army had withdrawn. Liu Jing walked back and forth uneasyly in front of a large tent with his hands behind his back. Zhao Yun was seriously injured and bleeding too much. Although Liu Jing also knew that Zhao Yun was strong and did not hurt the vital points, he would not die easily.

But caring is chaotic, and there is no definite news, and Liu Jing's heart is always hanging in his throat.

At this time, the military doctor came out and smiled at Liu Jing, "The life-saving pill prepared by Zhang Shou is indeed magical. General Zhao is already asleep, his complexion begins to turn, and his breathing is smooth. He should be fine."

Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Will his injury have any impact?"

Zhao Yun was shot twice, and both stabbed on his back and stabbed him in his leg. Liu Jing was a little worried about whether his martial arts would be affected. The military doctor shook his head, "It was all minor injuries, and it did not hurt his muscles and bones. It would be cured in at most two months. Please rest assured by the provincial governor."

Liu Jing lifted the curtain and looked inside the tent. He saw Zhao Yun's back facing inward, sleeping heavily, and could hear his low snoring faintly. Liu Jing finally let go of his heart and ordered the military doctor: "You must observe the changes in his injuries at any time, and report to me immediately if there is any situation."

"Don't worry, the state governor will do his best."

Liu Jing left Zhao Yun's tent and returned to his big tent. At this time, a soldier came to report, "Qi Bizhou Governor, Sun Quan sent an envoy to come over and ask for a visit outside the tent."

Liu Jing was stunned. Sun Quan actually sent an envoy. He and dozens of personal soldiers quickly walked out of the camp. He saw a soldier standing at the gate of the camp. It was Lu Ji who had seen that year, and there were more than a dozen Jiangdong soldiers following him.

Liu Jing laughed, "It turns out it's Brother Gong Ji, we haven't seen each other for many years."

Lu Ji was arrested by Cai Mao and suffered a lot. Although he was later released back to Jiangdong, he left one leg with disability and lameness, which became his lifelong hatred.

Lu Ji hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "I am here to come to see the governor of the state under the order of the Marquis of Wu."

"Brother Gong Ji, please come to the camp and talk."

Liu Jing invited Lu Ji into his tent and ordered the soldiers to serve tea. The two of them sat down with guests and hosts. Liu Jing then asked, "I don't know where Wu Hou is now."

"When I got off the boat, the Wu Hou had already arrived in Chaisang, and it was probably now that it had arrived in Qichun County."

Speaking of this, Lu Ji lowered his voice again and said, "It is rumored that the governor of Zhou and General Cheng Pu are in disagreement. Wu Hou is worried that the internal conflict will intensify and affect the plan to fight against Cao, so he rushed to Qichun County to deal with the matter."

Liu Jing also knew that Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were in a bad relationship, but this kind of thing was solved with a transfer order. Is it necessary to go there specifically? Maybe Sun Quan was going to boost morale, and it is also very likely.

"Does Wu Hou have a letter to me?"

Lu Ji smiled and said, "Mr. Wu just asked me to convey the oral message, and asked the provincial governor to meet in Qichun to discuss the plan to fight against Cao."

Liu Jing nodded with a smile, "Since Mr. Wu sincerely invites me, I will naturally go."

At this time, Lu Ji asked carefully: "I heard that the main force of the Cao army had killed Jiangling. I don't know what the situation of Uncle Liu is now."

At this time, Liu Jing suddenly realized that the reason why Lu Ji appeared in Jingling County was not to come to find him. He was actually going to Jiangling, but he happened to meet him in Jingling County. No wonder he didn't have the letter from Sun Quan to him.

This is not because Sun Quan ignores himself, but because Lu Ji’s task is to go to Jiangling, and someone else should have gone to Wuchang to deliver letters to him.

Liu Jing smiled faintly, "Uncle Liu is here with me. If Brother Gong Ji wants to see him, I can invite him."

He immediately ordered the personal soldiers at the entrance of the tent to "go and invite Uncle Liu"

Lu Ji was shocked. It turned out that Liu Bei was here. He secretly regretted that he had a handwritten letter from Sun Quan to Liu Bei, so why did he hand it over to Liu Bei and Lu Ji for a moment?

After a moment, Liu Bei was invited into the tent. He was in a very depressed mood. He had just received news from the fugitive soldiers that Pang Ji and Wang Jie had already surrendered to Cao's army in the city, and his wife and children were both in the hands of Cao's army.

This caused Liu Bei to suffer a heavy blow. He was only halfway through his age, and now he fell into the hands of Cao's army, which made him feel that all his thoughts were gone.

When Liu Bei entered the sect, Lu Ji quickly stood up to greet him. Liu Jing introduced to him: "This is an envoy sent by Wu Hou. He came from Chaisang and was preparing to visit the emperor's uncle in Jiangling. Unexpectedly, an accident happened, so Jingling County was suspended."

Liu Jing did not make things difficult for Lu Ji, and frankly told Liu Bei that the envoy of Sun Quan came to him, not himself.

Lu Ji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel grateful to Liu Jing, and blushed. It turned out that Liu Jing had seen through him, so he had to pretend to be stupid and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I am in the Wu County Lu Gongji, see the emperor's uncle."

Liu Bei reluctantly cheered up and said, "I have seen Lingzun, and everyone is respected. My nephew is a talented person, and he is quite talented."

Lu Ji's father Lu Kang was originally a guardian of Lujiang, with a wide connection and had dates with Liu Bei. Lu Ji said modestly: "The emperor's uncle is too good, but his nephew is far from his father, and he has a sense of self-knowledge."

The two of them exchanged a few greetings and sat down. Liu Bei first asked Liu Jing: "I don't know that there is news about Yun Chang."

Liu Jing shook his head, "I don't know yet. I have sent a scout to inquire about the news. If there is any news, I will tell the emperor immediately."

"Thank you, nephew."

Liu Bei thought that because of his momentary confusion, he believed Pang Ji and Wang Jie's words, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Pang Ji and Wang Jie were just supporting Liu Qi, not Liu Bei, but he regarded them as confidants, which was really unwise.

Liu Bei sighed in his heart and asked Lu Ji again: "The nephew comes from the east, but he meets my military advisor."

Lu Ji secretly glanced at Liu Jing again and saw him drinking tea aside, looking calm, as if his affairs had nothing to do with him. Although it was difficult to speak, he had to say something.

He took out Sun Quan's letter and submitted it to Liu Bei, and said, "Mr. Zhuge is on the Wu Marquis' boat now. Wu Marquis ordered me to meet the emperor's uncle, hoping that the emperor's uncle can meet in Qichun County and discuss the plan to fight against Cao."

Liu Bei read the letter and found that Sun Quan's meaning was already very obvious in the letter. He wanted to become the leader of the Anti-Cao Alliance, so he invited Liu Bei to Qichun County.

Liu Bei was well versed in human relations and worldly ways, so why didn’t he understand what Sun Quan meant? Of course, he also supported Sun Quan as the leader, but he was now in Liu Jing’s territory, so he had to give Liu Jing this face.

Liu Bei sighed, "Thank you for the warm invitation from Wu Hou. It's just that Jiangling's great changes have changed. Bei's subordinates are divided. It is urgent. I want to integrate the team. Mr. Kong Ming will be represented in Qichun for the time being."

Liu Bei was telling the truth. Guan Yu’s whereabouts were unknown. Jiangling had crossed 15,000 troops across the river, led by Sun Gan and Mi Fang. He was very worried that these two people would not be able to control the army, so he is eager to cross the river now, which is his last capital.

Lu Ji understood Liu Bei's difficulties and Jiangling's major changes, so he was eager to go back and report to his lord. After saying a few more words, he stood up and said goodbye.

Liu Jing and Liu Bei sent Lu Ji out of the military camp, and Liu Jing ordered someone to arrange a ship to send Lu Ji directly from the Han River to Qichun County.

But just as Lu Ji left, news about Guan Yu finally came.

Guan Yu failed to rescue Jiangling and led his army to retreat to Yidu County and met with Jian Yong. This news made Liu Bei overjoyed. He no longer delayed and immediately took Zhang Fei and Guan Ping to go to Yidu County to meet with Guan Yu. They could cross the river from Yidu and turn to Wuling County.

In the night, Liu Jing came to Zhao Yun's tent. Zhao Yun had woken up and sat alone on a stone in front of the tent, staring blankly at the sky in the north.

Liu Jing did not dare to disturb him. He stood not far behind him and quietly looked at Zhao Yun's lonely back. Zhao Yun was already eighteen years old and still had no wife and was alone. It was sad to think about it.

"Have he left?" Zhao Yun asked in a low voice without looking back.

Liu Jing nodded silently, "They left half an hour ago."

"Didn't you leave anything to me?" Zhao Yun asked again.

Liu Jing felt a little unbearable, so he slowly walked forward and said, "Uncle, please tell you, so that you can recover from your wounds with peace of mind, so don't worry about him."

"Yeah"

Zhao Yun shook his head, "You don't need to comfort me, I understand in my heart that even Yide and Guan Gong can't come to see me, so how could he let you tell me?"

Liu Jing was speechless. Although Liu Bei agreed to give up Zhao Yun, he should at least show a little gratitude on the surface, so that Zhang Fei or Guan Ping could do it for him. After all, Zhao Yun saved him in the Wanma Army.

But Liu Bei ignored him completely, and this also shows that Liu Bei's hatred towards Zhao Yun was not explained by reaching an agreement with him.

Zhao Yun smiled miserably, "I came to save him for no reason, but he was so cold that it was disappointing. It would be better to die in the battlefield."

Liu Jing patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder lightly and said softly: "A real man only wants to have a clear conscience. You have done your best. You don't have to care about anything else, just take care of your injuries."

"you're right"

Zhao Yunqiang smiled and said, "A real man only wants to have a clear conscience. I have a clear conscience to him, so why bother with him?
