The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 803 Using Zhou Dory ([-])

When Liu Chan and the follow-up army came to Yi County, Deng Ai had easily taken Yi County for two full days.

On the way, Liu Chan had already received the good news from Deng Ai.This good news is definitely a surprise for Liu Chan.Because according to his own estimation, taking into account the strength of Deng Ai's troops and the number of defenders in Yi County, and those defenders may fight desperately with the Shu Han army and other factors, Deng Ai wants to conquer Yi County I'm afraid it's not as readily available as he himself claimed.At this time, I am afraid it will take at least five to six days.

In other words, Liu Chan's estimate is based on the extent that Deng Ai can wipe out all 1000 defenders in Yi County every day.

Therefore, of course, Liu Chan didn't need to be too eager to hurry along the way, and the speed of the army seemed a bit slow.Anyway, marching at this speed, when they felt that Yi County was under the city, Deng Ai's men were probably still attacking Yi County.

However, Liu Chan's prediction quickly failed in the face of Deng Ai's good news. Deng Ai actually defeated Zhou Dory's attack force head-on in only one noon and afternoon.Then, he spent only half of the night to lure the dignified Zhou Dory to surrender with a letter of persuasion!

Deng Ai's efficiency in attacking the city and conquering the village was frighteningly high, and it was far beyond Liu Chan's imagination.So that in the next journey, he had to order and urge the army to speed up the march and rush to Yi County to meet Deng Ai in time. On the contrary, Liu Chan himself seemed to be in a hurry at this time, without the previous slow march time The leisurely one.

As Liu Chan's order to speed up the march was issued, the generals of the army and the allied forces, of course, also got the notice that Deng Ai easily took the city of Yi County.These people were all surprised, and even Shi Guangyuan, Deng Ai's mentor, felt incredible because of Deng Ai's high efficiency.

After two days of desperately rushing, the army finally arrived at the city of Yi County.

Liu Chan saw that Deng Ai was not talking big, and the flag of Deng Ai's army was flying above the city of Yi County.

At this time, Deng Ai had brought his lieutenant Zhou Tao out to greet Liu Chan, Shi Guangyuan, Yu Jin and others.Of course, Deng Ai's expression must be proud and self-satisfied. He never hides his feeling of success.

Of course Liu Chan was very happy at this time. Taking Yi County meant opening up the first transportation hub leading to Moling.So even though he was still sitting on the horse, Liu Chan couldn't help but have a bright smile on his face, and even waved to Deng Ai.

Deng Ai quickly walked towards Liu Chan.

Then, Liu Chan's gaze was immediately attracted by a man next to Zhou Tao who was not tall, but looked a little thin, and wore a crowned man's hat.Because Liu Chan didn't know this person, and this person was able to stand side by side with Zhou Tao, obviously his status was not low.In addition, this person's expression at this time did not appear to be very excited, on the contrary, he seemed a bit disappointed, which aroused Liu Chan's attention.

Liu Chan began to guess in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, he wondered if this person was Zhou Dory and Zhou Ziyu who had been lured by Deng Ai to surrender earlier?
This possibility is really very big.As a surrendered official, when someone like Liu Chan arrives, it is impossible for him not to come out to greet him in person.

After thinking about these things, Liu Chan was sure that that person should be Zhou Dory.Then he ordered everyone to dismount.

Deng Ai came up to greet him, and immediately bowed to Liu Chan and others.Then, the scribe next to Zhou Tao also came forward, this person looked a bit elegant.

Deng Ai then introduced the man to Liu Chan, saying: "My son, please look, this gentleman is Mr. Zhou Dory, the former prefect of Poyang County."

Liu Chan groaned, and looked Zhou Dory up and down again.

Zhou Bream must have seen Liu Chan for the first time. Like everyone else, he looked curiously at Liu Chan and Liu Adou, who had already shaken Jiangdong in front of him.But his curiosity soon turned to surprise.He was surprised at Liu Chan's age, he was really as young as the rumors said!

Could such a young man really be Liu Chan and Liu Adou who led his army to defeat countless famous generals in Jiangdong?

Thinking of this, Zhou Dory forgot to give Liu Chan a quick salute, and just froze there.

Liu Chan seemed to despise Zhou Dory's despicable behavior of first fleeing without a fight, and then voluntarily surrendering.There was actually a very gentle smile on his face, which even gave people a friendly and warm feeling.

Seeing Zhou Dory in a daze, he asked softly, "Prefect Zhou?"

"Oh!" Zhou Dory finally came to his senses, realizing that his actions just now were too rude.All of these people in front of him are generals who have made great contributions, and there is even Liu Chan, the dignified heir of the Prince of Hanzhong, Zhou Bing couldn't help but regret that he was not calm enough just now.

Zhou Dory hastily supported the official hat on his head, and then stepped forward to bow to Liu Chan in a serious manner and said: "The sinner Zhou Dory pays homage to His Highness Liu Shizi."

Then, Zhou Dory was about to kneel down.Liu Chan was quick to see, so he opened his arms and stepped forward to support Zhou Dory, and said with a smile: "Prefect Zhou doesn't need to be so polite. You can know the righteousness and come to join our army. We welcome you very much!"

Zhou Bream is a bird who "knows righteousness". If he didn't cherish his own life, how could he easily open the city and surrender to Deng Ai? Ai's men are engaged in a desperate offensive and defensive battle!
Everyone knew that Liu Chan's words were polite and clichéd, just to appease Zhou Dory, who was demoted, and to keep Zhou Dory from appearing too embarrassed in front of him.

Zhou Bream is not a fool either, maybe because he is a little grateful for Liu Chan's words, or maybe because he still has a heart of loyalty in his heart, his face is still slightly feverish.

Zhou Dory said: "Your Majesty, please don't call me, a sinner who has been defeated again and again, the prefect of Poyang County. Today Zhou Dory is just a sinner."

Liu Chan let out a sigh, waved his hands and laughed, "Why did the prefect Zhou say that? Why are you no longer the prefect of Poyang County?"

As soon as Liu Chan's words came out, all the ministers and workers around him were in commotion.Could it be that Liu Chan really intends to continue to use this very immoral Zhou Dory and let him continue to serve as the prefect of Poyang County?

Of course, it is not suitable for Yu Jin to speak out at this time.Because he himself is Cao Wei's surrendered general, and he was reactivated and reused as a surrendered general.There is no one who will be treated better than him, so he can't stand up and express his point of view.

Shi Guangyuan can.He immediately stepped forward to Liu Chan's side, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "My son is not good!"

Liu Chan nodded, smiled, and said: "Mr. Shi's words are reasonable. Zhou Taishou should be said to have a lot of political achievements in Poyang County, and Poyang County is governed by him in an orderly manner. He is among the top ten. He himself is deeply respected by the people of Poyang County. Therefore, it is very appropriate for Mr. Zhou to continue to serve as the prefect of Poyang County. "

Where did Shi Guangyuan say that? This Liu Chan is really talking in public!Shi Guangyuan's face froze immediately, he really didn't know what to say next.Could it be that he immediately refuted Liu Chan's nonsense in public, and he just said five words, "Your son is not good"?
Shi Guangyuan sighed helplessly, feeling a little angry in his heart, turned around and retreated, even avoiding to leave.
