In the wilderness at night, a cavalry of 5,000 men was marching normally.

The team was quiet, not because of how well trained, but mainly because their cavalry commander was in a bad mood right now.

After seizing the battle of Xuzhou, he couldn't go in person, and Zhang Liao's current mood can be said to be extremely bad.

The reason why he was left to patrol the surroundings of the city was another group of men and horses who were also wandering around, the Changshan Longfeng Battalion.

As Liu Bei's killer weapon, this team always plays a role at the most critical time.

Although Lu Bu sent troops suddenly, it was difficult to guarantee that Liu Bei would not have arranged for Zhao Yun to monitor Xiao Pei's situation earlier. If he really attacked the city, then Lu Bu would have no foundation to settle down.

The main thing is that the people you hold most dear to you are also in this city.

Therefore, Zhang Liao, who has a fiery temperament but is experienced in using soldiers, was left behind, and he has only one task - no matter what the result of Lu Bu's capture of the city is, he must guard Xiaopei and never allow it to be lost.

Although this is a very responsible errand, Zhang Liao just can't resist it, and he always feels that in such a crucial battle, he may not even need to swing his sword, which is too embarrassing.

But he would not have expected what embarrassment awaited him.

……

In Xiaopei City, the market is still lively.

With no curfew, the nights here are a favourite among hawkers.

After all, the weather has warmed up, and people who have nothing to do after dinner usually wander the streets, and the hawkers can take advantage of this opportunity to make a little money.

The bustling streets are bustling with people, and no one notices the gloomy alleys.

"Really...... Is that really the case? A girl's voice asked timidly.

"Little Mandarin, this is a rare opportunity. Yu Gong, General Cao is kind to the Northern General Hall, and it is our duty to remove Lu Bu for him; Yu Private, I have already promised this bastard, I will definitely kill Lu Bu, even if I want to regret it, it is too late. Besides, the master's enmity, I haven't settled with him yet! ”

Duan Xuan and Zhang Feng, who had disappeared for a while, unexpectedly appeared in Xuzhou again. Moreover, the first target they set was Lu Bu.

Zhang Feng agreed to Duan Xuan's proposal before, so the two began to secretly select people everywhere. After this time, they have expanded the team of killers to five.

The residence they chose was a long-abandoned village in Xuzhou. During the day, Duan Xuan approached the employer in Xuzhou, and then at night he made money by killing people according to the employer's intentions to pay for the expenses of several people, while Zhang Feng was responsible for training the newly recruited three.

However, Duan Xuan has always adhered to one principle, that is, good officials are not killed.

In the beginning, everything went pretty well. But gradually, Zhang Feng showed impatience and wanted to quit several times.

Duan Xuan had no choice but to agree to deal with Lu Bu in advance.

So, they settled the three newly recruited people and quietly infiltrated Xiaopei City.

With Ye Feng's unique code, the two quickly contacted Ling Yuan.

During this time, Ling Yuan had almost forgotten her identity, and this was the first time she realized that she could live so happily.

His biological parents are ministers of a troubled country, and his companions are stained with blood on their hands every day, which is too heavy a burden for a young girl.

When he learned that he could find an opportunity to poison Lu Bu without going to great lengths, Ling Yuan didn't know how happy he was.

However, the broken sword carved in the corner of her house woke her sweet dream.

Next to the broken sword, the word "Xuan" was written, and of course Ling Yuan knew that this was Duan Xuan's summons. The most important thing is that although Duan Xuan's martial arts are not bad, they are not enough to break into the heavily guarded Diao Chan's residence.

And the person with this kind of ability, the only person she knows is Zhang Feng.

Ling Yuan struggled several times, and finally chose to come to the appointment.

In this way, the simple little girl was once again swept into the torrent of troubled times.

Duan Xuan's intention was also very simple, to kidnap Diao Chan in order to threaten Lu Bu and make him abandon Xuzhou and flee elsewhere.

This is also a helpless method, after all, even if the two of them shoot at the same time, they will not be able to hold on to Lu Bu for more than ten years.

Eventually, the trio made a plan and prepared to do it tomorrow.

After that, in order to prevent Diao Chan from becoming suspicious, Ling Yuan hurried back. And Duan Xuan and Zhang Feng also went to find a place to stay.

It's just that they don't know that someone is also making plans against them.

At the corner of the alley, Zhao Yun was dressed in ordinary clothes, lying in a forage truck, watching Duan Xuan and Zhang Feng leave with the corner of his eye.

It wasn't until they walked away that Zhao Yun slowly got up.

His eyes are always so cold......

————————————————

"Report! General Cao Bao opened the west gate for some reason, and Lu Bu's army had already entered the city! ”

"Report! Song Xian led the army to attack from the southern street, and the defenders were powerless to resist and retreated! ”

"Report! Chen Gong and Cao Xing have already broken through the mansion, and our army is scattered and fled, please make a decision as soon as possible! ”

"Report! General Zhang Fei led Yanyun's eighteen cavalry out of the city from the east gate and evacuated south! ”

Mi Zhu and Mi Shu were at their home, and he knew that Zhang Fei was gone.

Due to Cao Bao's prestige in Xuzhou, the defenders almost did not listen to Mi Zhu's dispatch, that is, from that time on, Mi Zhu was sure that he could not defend the city.

When one person can't protect everyone, he can only choose the closest person, so Mi Zhu takes his sister home and waits for the arrival of the enemy army.

"Bang!"

The gate of the courtyard was not closed, because a single gate could not stop the enemy.

One of his subordinates couldn't dodge and was chopped into pulp by the soldiers of the Lu Bu Army who rushed in first.

"Well, they're all just subordinates." Lu Bu's deep voice came from behind.

"I don't want General Lu to come to the house in person, Mi is far away." Mi Zhu calmly gave up his hand on the spot.

"Zizhong, just be polite...... You should know the current situation, whether it is a war or a surrender? ”

"Hehe, no fighting, no surrender."

"Oh? So what does Zizhong want? ”

"Negotiate the conditions with you Lu Feng first."

"Zizhong said that he laughed, my army has occupied Xiapi City, don't you still have divine soldiers?"

"General Lu, the defenders of Xiapi are all focused on Cao Bao, how can I come to the gods? I agreed with you today that as long as I can protect my brother and sister, I will be your staff and work with you to deal with Liu Bei and Cao Cao. ”

"In the troubled times, people's hearts are unpredictable, Zizhong don't want to embarrass me."

"In troubled times, life is not up to oneself, for the sake of relatives, nothing can be done."

Look at each other, be silent.

The soldiers under Lu Bu were quietly waiting for his answer, because the next moment, it would be decided whether this man named Mi Zhu would become his own or die.

"Zizhong's style of acting is quite similar to my old acquaintance."

"Hehe, it seems that Zaixia's life has been saved."

Lu Bu didn't answer, just walked straight out of the Mizhu Mansion.

Mi Zhu raised his head, secretly praying in his heart that the strategy would succeed......

……

Zhang Fei immediately looked back at Xiapicheng and did not speak for a long time.

Eighteen cavalry followed him slowly, and suddenly, they all took their horses.

Because in front of them, there were enemy troops blocking the way.

The night was hazy and I couldn't see clearly, but there were at least a hundred or so people.

"Three generals, can you wake up from the wine?" Cao Bao smiled at the front of the line.

"Hehe, the night breeze is slightly cold, but it really made Zhang's wine wake up a little."

"I wonder why the three generals didn't guard the city, but escaped alone?"

"The enemy army was too strong for Zhang, so he fled. Hehe, I don't know why General Cao Bao is here? ”

Cao Bao motioned for the cavalry behind him to move forward slowly, and replied at the same time: "I heard that the three generals left their posts without permission, so I specially led the army to wait here. I advise the three generals to focus on the overall situation, don't be greedy for life and afraid of death, if you lose it, won't the lord come back and have no place to live? ”

"Zhang is a rough man, heh, he only knows that he can fight if he can, and he can flee if he can't, as for the righteousness that the general said, I'm afraid I can't get the essence of it." Zhang Fei replied with a smile, but the hand hidden behind his back had already given an order to Yan Yun's eighteen horses, ready to charge at any time.

As the three generals said, they must have fled in a hurry, but they did not forget to deploy with their relatives, which shows that the three generals are people who love soldiers. That being the case, Cao Bao dared to ask the three generals to be sympathetic to the soldiers, and Cao Bao was willing to compete with the generals, so he would not increase the killing. ”

For some reason, Zhang Fei wanted to laugh.

Although Cao Bao has a high reputation, to be honest, his martial arts are very average. What exactly gave him the courage to challenge himself?

"Really, General?"

"I, Cao Bao, am not going to be a villain who breaks his word, please!" As he spoke, Cao Bao pointed one end of the long knife at Zhang Fei with one hand.

Zhang Fei couldn't help frowning. This knife...... For Cao Bao, it was too heavy, but at this moment, he was able to stand steadily, could it be that he had been pretending before?

Only then did he notice that in the cavalry team not far behind Cao Bao, the Xin girl was sitting upright on a horse, and her expression was very leisurely.

Zhang Fei clearly felt the other party's thoughts - Cao Bao would not lose.

However, he didn't have time to think about it, because Cao Bao suddenly rode his horse and rushed over.

Zhang Fei immediately straightened his spear, took the reins, and prepared to fight.

Cao Bao's tactics were very strange, he didn't raise his knife to slash like other generals, but used the knife as a spear and stabbed straight into Zhang Fei's chest.

Zhang Fei felt vaguely uneasy, he put the spear diagonally, and at the moment when Cao Bao's long knife stabbed outward, he opened Cao Bao's knife.

But this blow made him very puzzled.

First, the strength of this time is almost the same as his own, and the movements are extremely simple and fast; Second, Cao Bao's body reaction was very strange, just a charge, it would definitely not cause him much burden, but his breathing now became very rapid.

The most suspicious thing is that although Cao Bao breathes quickly, he does not look tired, but is very excited.

Zhang Fei vaguely felt that the other party must have used some method to become like this.

Because although the strength and speed are very strong, Cao Bao's moves have not changed, and they are all basic movements.

Knowing this, Zhang Fei was much more relieved, he pointed his spear at Cao Bao, and said in a voice like a lion's roar:

"Cao Bao, let you see why everyone in the world is afraid of Yanren Zhang Yide!"
