The New Year is coming quietly, and this is not the first time Long Jun has celebrated the New Year outside, but when he thinks that the woman in the family is about to give birth, there is no New Year's joy on his face. Especially Zhang Liao in Shaling City, the stone in the pit is smelly and hard, I originally thought that he was the kind of person who worried about the country and the people, and would surrender to the Guanzhong Army and assist the Guanzhong Army to garrison and go north. However, after learning that Huaxiong's army was defeated, this guy would defend the city and not come out, even if Long Jun went to Xinxiao to be righteous, the other party was silent.

If Xun You hadn't seen Zhang Liao and had a high opinion of him, I'm afraid that the generals in the army would have already begun to come forward to drown in the battle and denounce Zhang Liao's approach. Through the dark starry sky, Long Jun looked at the flickering torches on the Shaling city wall, and said calmly, "What do you say Zhang Liao is thinking?" I wrote to remind me of the ambitions of the Xianbei people, and then Gongda went to see him, and he treated him with courtesy. Now he is pretending to be deaf and dumb, and refuses to surrender whether he is alive or dead, which is really confusing. ”

Of course, the people around him who could sit and hear what Long Jun said were the people around him. These people are all senior generals and dignitaries in the Guanzhong Army, such as Xun You, the military advisor, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the deputy general of the Blazing Sky Army, Long Yang, the chief general of the Longyin Army, Ma Chao, the chief general of the Beiyi Army, Pang De, the chief general of the Wuji Battalion, and Zhang Xiu, the chief general of the Liangzhou Army. However, Xun You had the answer to what Long Jun said, so after adding a handful of firewood to the bonfire, he replied softly, "Zhang Liaozhi is a pearl to Lu Bu, and he knows this, but now that Lu Bu is not defeated, if he votes for him at this time, he will probably be infamy." ”

Regarding Xun You's answer, Long Yang scoffed at the time, Lu Bu will definitely be defeated, what is the difference between his Zhang Liao's investment at this time and his future investment? Moreover, Zhang Liao once wrote a letter to remind Long Jun Xianbei that even if Lu Bu was defeated in the future, he might not be able to lose a good reputation. So Long Yang clapped his hands, leaned back, lay on the snow and looked at the starry sky, and sneered, "He doesn't think Lu Bu still has a chance to win, right?" I heard that Lu Bu's side is already overstretched, in addition to the lack of troops, there are also small actions within the court. If Lu Bu can still turn the tables in this situation, it will be really ridiculous! ”

Glancing at Long Yang, who was on all sides, Long Jun patted the other party's abdomen angrily, and after Long Yang got up stupidly, Long Jun rolled his eyes and said, "You two are right, but now I want to know what Zhang Liao is thinking!" According to the report from the ninth department, the elite camp of the Bingzhou army is also in Shaling, do you say that it is because of Gao Shun that he does not dare to make a decision? ”

"Not necessarily, the last time his subordinates saw Zhang Liao, Gao Shun was also present, and judging from Gao Shun's emotions, he basically knew what Zhang Liao did. And whether Zhang Liao is willing to take refuge in the Guanzhong Army, he doesn't seem to have any attitude. If Zhang Liao was influenced by Gao Shun, we might as well think that Lu Bu's influence is still there. After a pause, Xun You got up and clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Therefore, his subordinates suggested that the lord lead the army south to Taiyuan first, and his subordinates and others stayed here to keep an eye on Zhang Liao, and when Lu Bu perished, they were begging Zhang Liao!" ”

After Xun You finished speaking, the other generals got up one after another and persuaded Long Jun to march towards Taiyuan, only Ma Chao and Long Yang sat alone and did not say a word. Seeing this, Long Jun took a deep look at Xun You, and asked softly, "Do you think that if we go south to Taiyuan, we will force Zhang Liao to express his attitude?" Don't forget, as soon as our army leaves, the fruits of the four northern counties will be wasted in an instant. Hua Xiong is now hiding in Yangqu, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, what if he unites with Zhang Liao? ”

"Then Lord Zhang Liao doesn't want it?" Hearing this, Xun Yu glanced at Long Jun meaningfully, according to what he thought, since Zhang Liao's letter that day, Long Jun's heart seemed to be hooked, and he always recited Zhang Liao's name when he had nothing to do. His advice just now was just to find a step for Long Jun, and the Guanzhong army in the province could not advance or retreat. And he didn't believe that Long Jun really gave up, you must know that to deal with the Xianbei people, the generals present, as well as Zhao Yun and Xu Huang who rushed to Bingzhou, are not the essentials, if there is really a war with the Xianbei people in the future, there is a general in the Guanzhong army who is familiar with the Xianbei people, it will be of great benefit to Guanzhong!

Being asked by Xun You, Long Jun smiled dumbly, and then learned Long Yang's posture just now, lay on the snow, and said softly, "Zhang Liao, I want to be true, but if I don't really belong to him, what use do I want him?" Although against Xianbei, our army does not know the essentials, but at least it can ensure that the army is neat and morale is strong. In that way, it is not without benefit to solve the hidden danger of Zhang Liao. ”

Seeing that Long Jun was already impatient with Zhang Liao's attitude, Xun You glanced at the generals who had just expressed their attitude, and motioned for them to persuade Long Jun. In fact, everyone doesn't know much about Zhang Liao, except for Tai Shici, the rest of the people have never dealt with Zhang Liao at all, and although Zhang Liao is familiar with the combat methods of foreign races, how much worse is he in the Guanzhong Army? This kind of exaltation of the enemy and debasement of oneself is only done by a fool. So everyone kept silent, and Xun You rolled his eyes violently.

Who knew that just when Xun Yu thought that Zhang Liao was dead. Ma Chao, who had been fiddling with the fire, suddenly said, "In the first battle of Luoyang back then, Zhang Liao could compete with Zilong, have you heard of this?" With Xu Rong and Ziyi on both sides of the river, you also know this, right? And when Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo turned their faces, if it weren't for Zhang Liao's troops, I'm afraid Lu Bu would have died a long time ago. Judging from these, do you think Zhang Liao's role is only to understand the Xianbei people? I didn't speak just now because I was also thinking about whether I should keep Zhang Liao. ”

At this point, Ma Chao threw the branch of the fire in his hand into the bonfire, and then knelt on one knee facing Long Jun, and said in a deep voice, "The subordinates implore the lord to suspend the attack on Shaling, and let Mr. Gongda go to see Zhang Liao again, the subordinates are willing to go together, if Zhang Liao is determined to wait for Lu Bu's side to divide the victory, then the subordinates will never stop him." I beseech the Lord for permission! ”

Among the generals, some people were willing to keep Zhang Liao, which made Long Jun unexpected, don't look at Ma Chao as his apprentice, but his emphasis on military power is not lower than that of the military advisers in the Military Machinery Department. Compared with the Military Aircraft Department, their generals can understand the truth of a radish and a pit, Zhang Liao's surrender to Guanzhong, their military power will only be weakened. However, without waiting for Long Jun to reply, Long Yang beside him also got up lazily, knelt down on one knee to Long Jun, and said helplessly, "Although there is no shortage of elite soldiers and good generals in the Guanzhong army, after the eldest brother recovers and merges the state, the territory will inevitably expand, if you don't find someone who is familiar with the local situation to sit in town, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble." Therefore, the younger brother hoped that the elder brother would suspend the offensive against Shaling and wait for Meng Qi to finish his mission, and then make plans! ”

If Ma Chao was alone, the generals could ignore each other, but now that Long Yang has also spoken out, then it is not good for them to ignore it, so the generals repeatedly persuaded Long Jun to suspend the offensive against Shaling, and wait for Zhang Liao to clarify his attitude before making plans. Seeing this, Long Jun glanced at Long Yang, who kept pouting, and Ma Chao, who had the same expression, and smiled, "Okay, let Gongda run again tomorrow, since it's the New Year, we can't lose our courtesy, and we are going to meet this Zhang Wenyuan with a generous gift." ”

"Whoa!"

On the second day, Xun You was accompanied by Ma Chao and Long Yang, who was holding his head in both hands, and entered Shaling City leisurely under the banner of an envoy. Looking at the soldiers and horses around him who were in low morale, Ma Chao smiled slightly, and Long Yang's face was disdainful. It wasn't until the county government in the city that Long Yang lifted his spirit slightly, looking at the majestic guards and horses in front of him, he and Ma Chao looked at each other, and they both felt solemn. An elite army is not terrible, but an army that can maintain absolute combat power in a large army with low morale is terrible. So Long Yang quickly followed Xun You and whispered in his ear, "This is the trapped camp you are talking about?" ”

Hearing this, Xun You nodded lightly, glanced at the lobby not far away, and Xun You said in a low voice, "The one sitting at the bottom is Gao Shun, the main general of the trapping camp, who is a great talent for military training." The second son might as well ask him for advice later, last time I saw that he was quite interested in the Blazing Sky Army under the second son, if the second son abducted him to our pass, then you will have made a great contribution! ”

"Gao Shun?" When Gao Shun saw a guard who was too young to talk to stare at him, Gao Shun knew who this person was, so he got up and gave a fist salute to show his respect. Then Long Yang also saluted, pestle Ma Chao with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Meng Qi, he may look down on your Tiger Roaring Army, didn't he salute you without looking at it!" ”

In the face of Long Yang's instigation, Ma Chao shook his head weakly, and said with a wry smile: "Little uncle, don't play with me, okay?" The Tiger Roaring Army is now under Zilong's hands, and I am the Dragon Yin Army! Besides, trapped in the camp is not a cavalry, how can we communicate with each other! ”

Just as the two were talking, the three of them had already entered the lobby, and Zhang Liao, who was sitting on the main seat, hurriedly got up and walked towards the three of them. Looking at the young man who had been arguing with Ma Chao before, Zhang Liao clasped his fists with both hands and said with a smile, "General Ma, the second son of Long, I am fortunate to be happy!" ”

"General Zhang is lucky!" After Ma Chao returned the salute with his fists, he was just about to point to Long Yang to introduce, when he saw Long Yang put aside the helpless Ma Chao, walked in front of Zhang Liao, and said angrily, "You are Zhang Liao, right?" Do you know how much sacrifice my brother made because of you? Well? Let Meng Qi accompany you to act, I'm afraid you can have this capital! ”

After listening to Long Yang, Zhang Liao glanced at Ma Chao with a puzzled expression, and then in his meaningful smile, Zhang Liao looked at Xun You again and motioned for Xun You to explain to him. In fact, Xun Yu also figured out this matter later, and the entire Guanzhong Army knew that Ma Chao's temperament was the most out-of-the-box, and it was impossible to have the situation of yesterday's hindsight. So, Xun You smiled and said, "It's nothing, General Zhang's army has been blocking our army for a long time, and our army has been impatient, plus the Yuan Cao coalition army has already marched to the party, so all the generals in the army want to break through Shaling and enter Taiyuan first." ”

"Oh, I see!" Suddenly realized, then Zhang Liao pointed to the seat on the side, and said softly, "Everyone, please sit down, I didn't entertain well in the river that day, and I ask Mr. Gongda to forgive me, today in this mansion, I hope to entertain Mr. Gongda and the two!" Please! ”

"Please!"
