Chapter 160 Rushing South
At the junction of Changsha County and Lingling County, Chen Ying and Bao Long were leading the Guiyang Tribe to move slowly towards Changsha.
They had just received news from Bu Zhi, the governor of Jiaozhou, asking them to join him. The reason is that Ma Su's soldiers and horses are powerful, and in order to prevent them from being defeated individually, joint actions are needed.
Regarding this matter, Chen Ying and Bao Long naturally wanted it.
"This Bu Zhao is really asking for his own death. We originally planned to lead our troops to defect to the big man, but he showed up on his own." Bao Long said cheerfully, holding Bu Zhao's letter.
"It seems that we have no shortage of military merits. Maybe we can get promoted by two levels by joining the Han Dynasty."
Chen Ying also nodded at Bao Long's words, very happy that Bu Zhi came to his door.
They are different from Xing Daorong. They are from Orions, and Shu Han does not have much kindness to them. But compared to the Shu Han who had made military exploits in the Northern Expedition in successive years, they were still quite dissatisfied with Soochow.
Especially regarding Soochow's strength, the two of them looked down upon it extremely.
So when Ma Su came to recruit Jingnan, the two of them decided to defect to Shu Han. With a group of county soldiers from Guiyang to welcome Master Wang, they might be able to become a leader.
But at this time Bu Zhao happened to bump into him, and the two of them were naturally overjoyed.
Chen Ying and Bao Long quickly made a decision, preparing to join forces with Bu Zhao and wait and see what happens. When the Wu army was fighting with the Shu army, they suddenly defected and killed Bu Zhao.
To surrender with Bu Zhao's head in hand, the gold content must be increased several levels.
But just when the two of them were ready to lead their troops to join Bu Zhao, suddenly the soldiers outside the door reported and a messenger came.
"General! Lieutenant Colonel Xing of Lingling has sent people here. It is said that they are under the orders of the Han general." The soldiers reported to Chen Yinghui.
"General Han? Are you here to urge us?" Chen Ying scratched his head and then waved his hand.
"Why don't you invite the messenger in quickly? Do you bear the responsibility for neglecting the general's messenger?"
Soon, Ma Su's messenger was invited in, and was immediately warmly received by the two.
"I've seen Captain Chen and Captain Bao!" The messenger saluted the two of them and came with Ma Di's message.
"Messenger, please stand up. Is it General Ma who sent you?" Chen Ying helped the messenger up with a smile and said proudly.
"We are ready to join forces with Bu Zhao. Soon Bu Zhao's head will be sacrificed! General Ma, don't worry!"
"Don't worry! I will definitely kill Bu Zhao with my own hands!" Bao Long added cheerfully beside him.
"Two generals, you have misunderstood. I am here to tell the two generals on the general's order that Bu Zhao's head is not important!" The messenger shook his head and said to Chen Ying and Bao Long.
As soon as these words came out, both Chen Ying and Bao Long frowned, feeling something was wrong.
I don’t want Bu Zhao’s head… Could it be that I still want Ding Feng’s head?
This is a bit troublesome, this big Han general has so many demands!
"Then let's try our best to offer Ding Feng's head together. I'm afraid it will be troublesome." Chen Ying sighed and replied after thinking for a while.
"Colonel Chen, Ding Feng's head is not valuable and is not important." The messenger continued to answer.
The two of them suddenly became unhappy. If you don't want this or that, what do you want?
Is it possible for us to get Sun Quan’s head for you?
Are you worthy of us? Get your money back!
Seeing the bad attitude between the two people, the Qiang Di messenger realized that there was something wrong with his words. So he quickly explained,
"The two generals have misunderstood. General Ma means...as long as the two generals bring their troops to join General Ma safely, it will be a great achievement! There is no need to risk joining forces with the infantry."
"Bu Zhao was an old and cunning man, and Prefect Cangwu was plotted to death by him."
"General Ma's original words are that the heads of Bu Zhao and Ding Feng combined are not as important as the life of a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty! So General Ma hopes that the two generals will speed up to Linxiang. If Bu Zhao pursues General Ma, he will personally lead the troops. Saved!"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were suddenly shocked. Immediately the two of them looked at each other and saw the astonishment in the other's eyes.
Look at how scary this Han general's words are. The two famous Dongwu generals Bu Zhi and Ding Feng combined are not as important as their lives alone. Even speaking, it is not as important as the life of a pawn under their command!
Originally they thought that the Han general planned to let them die. Unexpectedly, not only did they not ask them to take risks, but they were actually worried about their safety!
You even have to come to pick them up in person!
"General Fenwei actually cares about us so much?" Bao Long couldn't believe it. He confirmed with the messenger again and again. After receiving the messenger's affirmation and getting Ma Di's letter, the two of them confirmed.
General Ma really cares about their safety and even gives up the chance to decide the outcome in a battle!
In the grand scheme of things, this is a bad decision. But for Chen Yingbao Long, this is such a comforting concern!
The two were silent for a long time, both of them put away the frivolity in their eyes, and their expressions became serious.
"General Fenwei is truly a benevolent and righteous man! The soldiers and horses he leads are also kingly masters!" Chen Ying solemnly bowed to the west.
"Even though I am a country man, I still know etiquette! General Ma treats me like this, and I will not let him down!"
"Me too!" Bao Long bowed his hands and said honestly.
"So you generals, please go north as soon as possible. General Ma has already..."
"But if General Ma treats me like a civil servant, how can I, An, be rewarded for nothing?" Chen Ying shook his head and said seriously.
"I must give a big gift to General Ma, otherwise I will be sorry for General Ma's concern."
"Me too!"
"Captain Bao, break camp! We will go south to attack the infantry! We must defeat this thief for General Ma!"
If the people of that country treat me well, I will repay them with the people of that country. Regardless of whether Ma Su was sincere or not, Chen Ying needed to adopt this attitude.
So Chen Ying decided that he must be the first to defeat Bu Zhi and repay the favor of General Ma by pacifying the two counties!

"So you just let them go to fight!" Ma Di looked confused and looked at the messenger in disbelief.
"General! My subordinates can't persuade them!" The messenger smiled bitterly and reported to Ma Di.
"They all say that the general is their confidant and they must contribute to the general!"
"What a contribution! How could they possibly beat Bu Zhi!" Ma Su was almost furious. How dare you two third-rate generals and a group of county soldiers touch Porcelain Bu Zhi!
It's too much for Bu Zhi to hit you with one hand, right?
"Come here! Prepare your horses and assemble your army!" Ma Di quickly made a decision and stood up suddenly.
"Liu Yin, lead the troops and watch over Ding Feng! I will personally lead five hundred cavalry to help!"
"General, this is too risky..." Liu Yin hesitated, but was immediately blocked by Ma Di.
"What a risk! As I said before, we men will never give up on any of us!"
"Since Chen Bao is a minister of the Han Dynasty, we must let them live to Chengdu to receive rewards!"
