Chapter 405: Boat Burning Plan (3)
Avenge? Looking at the corpse on the ground, Lu Lingqi said with a puzzled face:
"Didn't the murderers all be killed by the general? What revenge do you have? ”
"It's just a bunch of little minions, there must be someone else behind the scenes!" Zhang Liao said firmly.
"You mean...... Are they commanded? Hearing this, Lu Lingqi immediately frowned:
"Look at you, you've already guessed who it is?"
"Humph! What's so hard about that? Zhang Liao said with hatred in his eyes: "Isn't it the ungrateful Cao Mengde?" ”
"Cao Mengde?" After listening to Zhang Liao's reply, Lu Lingqi was surprised:
"General Cao is our ally, you suspect him...... Is there any evidence? ”
"Isn't the evidence right in front of you?" Zhang Liao pointed to the corpse on the ground and said:
"These four people are all wearing Cao Jun's uniforms, and they must be from Cao Ying. If there was no order from Cao Cao, would they dare to run here to spread wilderness? If it's not Cao Cao, who will it be? Hum! I'm going to go to Cao Thief right now and ask for my life! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liao picked up a saber and rushed out of the tent quickly.
"General Zhang, please stay!"
But as soon as he took two steps, he was pulled by Zhao Yun from behind:
"The general is calm and impatient, the last general thinks that there may be some misunderstanding here."
"Misunderstanding? What could you be mistaken? ”
Although Zhang Liao was stopped, his face was still pale:
"You don't need to speak for that thief! If it's my brother, come with me to Cao Ying to take revenge and kill him a chicken and a dog! ”
Compared with Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun was much calmer in this matter, and soon listened to him analyze:
"General Zhang, I know you are eager for revenge, but no matter what, please listen to me. First, although the killers are wearing Cao Jun's uniform, they may not be Cao Jun's people. Military uniforms can be stolen or exchanged, and if you want to determine your identity, you need to do another investigation; Second, now that the lord has passed away, the general should inherit the will of the lord and lead the Chinese army, and his identity is very different. So even if you want to ask for a crime, you shouldn't put yourself at risk. Just imagine, if it is really the lord who Cao Cao sent people to harm him, wouldn't it be tantamount to throwing yourself into the net if you go to Cao Ying to take revenge now? Therefore, the matter of meeting Cao Cao should be done by others! ”
Zhao Yun's words can be said to be word for word, even Zhang Liao, who is eager for revenge, also showed a sense of agreement after listening to it:
"Well, that's right. In your opinion, who should you let go? ”
"If the general doesn't like it, Zilong is willing to go!" Zhao Yunmao then recommended himself.
"Huh? You go? Isn't that just as dangerous? ”
"General rest assured, Zilong has his own measure." Zhao Yun said confidently:
"My trip is not to take revenge, but to try to lure Cao Cao here. As long as you get to my barracks, things are much easier. So please ask the general to approve and let Zilong go and give it a try. ”
In contrast, Zhao Yun's plan to lure the enemy was obviously much more secure than Zhang Liao's reckless and hard-working.
After thinking twice, Zhang Liao quickly agreed to the matter and ordered Zhao Yun to go to Cao Ying, while he and Lu Lingqi continued to stay in the tent.
……
At the same time, the inner city of Xuchang.
Cao Cao was discussing military affairs with the Xiahou brothers in the palace, and when he heard Zhao Yun's visit, he immediately invited him into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Zhao Yun hugging his fists with a "sincere" face and said:
"Zilong has seen the general! The lord of my family has important matters to discuss, and specially ordered me to invite the general to our army for a talk. ”
As soon as these words came out, he saw Xiahou Yuan, who was sitting on the side and wearing a military robe, and said with a puzzled face:
"If General Hua has something important, why don't you come here directly, but send you to invite you? This back and forth, is it troublesome? ”
"Oh! The general didn't know that my lord had already set up a combat sand table in the tent, and it was inconvenient to move it, so I had to drive the general to move. I hope you don't blame. Zhao Yun said apologetically.
"Oh, is that so?"
After nodding in understanding, he saw Cao Cao stand up from his chair:
"Okay, General Hua is likely to have come up with a strategy to break the enemy! Hehe, Yuan Rang, Miaocai, you go with me and listen to General Hua's high opinion together! ”
After speaking, Cao Cao walked out of the main hall quickly and rushed to Huaying with the Xiahou brothers.
……
After a stick of incense, Cao Cao and others arrived at the Chinese army camp.
Seeing that there were not only guards standing outside Huaxing's tent, but also a circle of guards, Cao Cao subconsciously frowned:
"General Zhao, the last time I came, it seemed that there were no such soldiers? Is there a difference in the army recently? ”
In order to let Cao Cao move forward with peace of mind, Zhao Yun took the opportunity to respond:
"Back to the general's words, this is my father-in-law...... Belch...... Specially set up ...... 'ear-proof wall'! In case a spy comes near the tent. ”
"Ear-proof walls? Hehe, kind of interesting. ”
Since Wu Jie was arrested, Cao Cao has also been particularly sensitive to the matter of "spies".
So after listening to Zhao Yun's explanation, he didn't delve into it, turned over and dismounted, and walked into the military tent with Zhao Yun.
But as soon as the curtain was lifted, Cao Cao and his party felt that something was wrong.
As far as the eye can see, not only are there blood stains on the tent walls, but there are also several male corpses lying under the feet.
How is this like a military tent talking about important things?
It's a morgue!
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao's mouth opened as big as a chicken egg, and he stammered:
"What's going on, this, what's going on? Something's wrong......"
But before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhang Liao, who was sitting on the stool, suddenly raised his head, and two hateful eyes shot at Cao Cao like lightning:
"The surname Cao, say it quickly! Why should you take revenge and harm my lord's life!? ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and seemed to not know what he meant.
After pondering for a few seconds, his eyes swept over the corpse on the ground.
Soon, he found Hua Xing lying on the ground, covered in blood and unconscious.
Immediately, his complexion changed suddenly, and he said in great surprise:
"W-What? General Hua, Hua ...... Dead, dead? How so? W-When did this happen? ”
"Humph! When was this? Don't you know the good things you have sent people to do? Less garlic here! I'm going to avenge my master today! ”
Zhang Liao stood up from the stool as he spoke, and with endless anger, he slammed the crescent halberd in his hand.
Hearing this, Cao Cao and the three finally figured out the situation at the moment:
First, Huaxing has been killed;
Second, for some reason, Huaxing's subordinates actually put the blame on themselves.
Zhao Yun called them here today, not to talk about military affairs at all, but to make a special trip to hold them accountable.
After figuring out the other party's intentions, for the sake of safety, Xiahoudun immediately blocked in front of Cao Cao, clasped his fists and said to Zhang Liao:
"General Zhang, don't be impulsive! Yuan Rangke swore to heaven that this matter was definitely not done by the lord of my family, and he asked the general to investigate. ”
"Check? What's there to look up? The killers are all here, do you dare to say that they are not your Cao soldiers? Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pointed to the corpse on the ground and said resentfully.
