Gong Zhi rode a horse and followed the general towards Lingling. He walked less than fifty miles and encountered a large army. The Liu-like flag fluttered high in the wind.

It turned out that Liu Bei personally led the army to Wuling to assist in the battle.

After Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei led the army, Zhuge Liang felt a little guilty because he could not control the situation!

He sent Zhao Yun to capture Guiyang, which was actually equivalent to a pioneer. If he could win it smoothly, it would be the best.

It doesn't matter if Zhao Yun could not conquer him for a long time. Zhuge Liang was preparing to lead a large army with Liu Bei and then arrived. There would definitely be no problem in breaking Guiyang.

This time, Zhuge Liang had already made plans to pacify Jingnan. Forces were just a deterrent force. Zhuge Liang really didn't want to attack the city unless it was absolutely necessary.

In Lingling, Zhuge Liang wanted to kill Xing Daorong and establish his authority. He did not scare the officials of Lingling County, but also wanted to shock the guards in several other places, making them feel scared. Without the intention of fighting, the prefect had to surrender obediently.

Of course, letting Liu Du continue to be the prefect is Zhuge Liang's established policy, which is to send a signal to the other prefects that as long as they surrender, they can protect their official positions and property.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei have been away for nearly ten days, but there is still no news. Zhuge Liang is a little worried! He is also concerned and chaos. Zhao Yun and the others march on the road for more than ten days.

After Lingling County was completely stable, Zhuge Liang could no longer sit still. He was afraid that Zhao Yun would not succeed, so he prepared to go to Guiyang to assist in the battle.

If only Zhao Yun was helped, Zhuge Liang would seem to be a little helping. Both of them had issued military orders, and Liu Bei would not be able to pass this level!

Therefore, Zhuge Liang needs to take into account both and deliver a balance!

After discussing with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang decided to leave Mi Fang and 5,000 troops to guard Lingling. He and Liu Bei divided into two groups, each with 8,000 troops to assist Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei respectively.

Liu Bei naturally chose to go to Wuling to help Zhang Fei. He led the army all the way. Although he did not receive Zhang Fei's good news, there was no news of failure.

Liu Bei was also a little anxious, and traveled day and night, and soon arrived fifty kilometers away from Wuling, but happened to meet Gong Zhi who came to surrender with his seal.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and accepted Zhang Fei's good news. When he saw that Zhang Fei's troops had no blood, he captured Wuling City. He was very happy!

When Liu Bei was eager to see Zhang Fei, he left the army behind and took Gong Zhi and a few more horses to Wuling City.

Zhang Fei was very moved when he saw his elder brother bringing troops to help the battle, but he said proudly:

"Brother Lai Hong Fu, it can be said that he captured Wuling without any blood. I wonder who Zilong and I first acquired the city?"

When Liu Bei set out from Lingling, he did not receive any news from Zhao Yun. Now he arrived in Wuling. Even if Zhao Yun successfully obtained Guiyang, it would take half a month to deliver the news. He was afraid that Zhang Fei would be proud, so he said vaguely:

"I haven't received Zilong's good news yet, but Zilong has a military advisor in-person opportunity. It should be about the same time as you, so you should get Guiyang!"

Liu Bei was really guessing it right. Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei made a very coincidental victory in Guiyang on the same day, and he was not as difficult as Zhang Fei, because Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, wanted to surrender.

After Liu Bei took a break in Wuling for several days, he learned Gong Zhi's qualifications and abilities and directly asked him to replace Jin Xuan and become the prefect of Wuling.

...

...

Zhao Yun led three thousand men and headed straight for Guiyang.

Zhao Yun was cautious. Most of his army was not in the main unit. He was not as familiar with and controlled by the army as Zhang Fei, and his marching speed was much slower.

In addition, it was more than 100 miles away from Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuling, so Zhao Yun walked several days longer on the road.

During Zhao Yun's march, he had already visited the horse to report to Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang. Although he was also a military and political leader, because he was a civil servant and was an outsider in the march and war, he hurriedly gathered generals to discuss.

The two captains of the Guiyang Military Academy, Chen Ying and Bao Long, were quite brave. They were both hunters from Guiyang Lingshan Township and were famous warriors in Guiyang County. Chen Ying would fly forks, and Bao Long once shot and killed two tigers.

The two of them once competed with Xing Daorong in martial arts, and were comparable. The news from Lingling was that Liu Du took the initiative to open the door and offer the city to surrender.

Because Xing Daorong was afraid of Liu Bei, he directly became a personal guard for Ma Su. The news of his defeat to Zhang Fei and Ma Su did not spread.

Chen Ying and Bao Long relied on their courage. When they saw Zhao Fan discussing military affairs, they were eager to make contributions, so they said to Zhao Fan: "If Liu Bei's army comes, we will be the front line."

Zhao Fan didn't want to fight, but he couldn't make the decision and surrender directly. This would not only make people unable to overcome their face, but also do not good for his reputation. He scared them:

"I heard that Liu Xuande was the emperor of the Han Dynasty; and Kong Ming was also resourceful, Guan and Zhang Jiyong; Zhao Zilong, who led the troops, was like entering a deserted state among the million troops of Changban Dangyang. I, Guiyang, have a lot of people, but you two are sure that you can withstand Zhao Yun? Don't lose your life in vain!"

After all, Zhao Yun's reputation was too great. Bao Long heard Zhao Fanqian's words and directly gave up. Chen Ying still did not give up, but he did not dare to say anything to death, so he replied:

"I still have to go to war. If Zhao Yun cannot be captured, it will not be too late for Prefect Zhao to surrender again!"

Although Bao Long himself was a hunter, his family was powerful, otherwise it would not be their turn to be an official! Chen Ying was intimate with Zhao Fan. Since he had said this, Zhao Fan had to agree.

Chen Ying led three thousand men out of the city to meet the enemy, and was captured alive when he fought several times with Zhao Yun.

This is because Zhao Yun received the order from Zhuge Liang and did not start the killing, otherwise Chen Ying would be stabbed to death with one shot.

According to Zhuge Liang's instructions, Zhao Yun not only did not hurt Chen Ying, but instead put him back.

Chen Ying returned to the city and apologized to Zhao Fan. He did not hide the miserable defeat in the battle with Zhao Yun, and advised Zhao Fan to surrender.

Zhao Fan now had something to say: "I wanted to surrender, but you were forced to fight, so that's how it was." So he scolded Chen Ying, holding a seal and ribbon. On the same day Gong Zhi surrendered, he led a dozen cavalry out of the city to surrender to Zhao Yun's village.

According to Zhuge Liang's order, Zhao Yun still stayed outside the city to station. He led dozens of cavalry into the city with Zhao Fan. The matter was settled!

But because Zhao Fan started a war with Zhao Yun first and accepted the surrender after he couldn't win, he felt a little uneasy. He became brothers with Zhao Yun at the banquet and wanted his widow sister-in-law to marry Zhao Yun, so as to climb the big tree of Zhao Yun!

Who knew that Zhao Yun had always been loyal and righteous, and was excited after drinking. He heard this and became furious and said sternly:

"Since I have become brothers with you, your sister-in-law is my sister-in-law. How can you do this indiscriminate act?"

Zhao Fan was ashamed and drunkenly came up. When he heard what Zhao Yun said was not nice, he became angry and said:

"I treat each other well, how rude you are!" Relying on the crowds of people during the meal, he looked around, and said that he was harmful to each other.

After Zhao Yun discovered it, he took the initiative and knocked down Zhao Fan with one punch, left the mansion and got off the city.
