Chapter 479: Preemptive Strike

In the Huaiguo Palace, Zhang Yu controlled Zhang Lu, and waited leisurely for the news outside the palace, as long as Xue Liang and the others were also controlled, then the entire Qinyang City would be in his bag.

But Zhang Yu waited left and right, and after a stick of incense, he still didn't receive the news that Xue Liang was arrested. This made Zhang Yu a little anxious, and he unconsciously thought about the possible variables.

Could it be that the Cai family rebelled along with Xue Liang? The Cai family has a big business, although there are only one or two thousand soldiers on the surface, but they don't know how many people they have raised behind their backs, if they really make a move, the situation outside the palace is not easy to say.

Zhang Lu, who was trapped on the side, saw Zhang Yu pacing left and right in a bit of a panic, Zhang Lu couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, Xue Liang seems to be more difficult to catch than you expected!" ”

Zhang Yu snorted coldly: "What's so funny about you, Xue Liang didn't get caught, it means that he left you and ran away, even your most loyal dog didn't leave you and ran away alone, don't you feel sad?" ”

When Zhang Lu heard this, he let out a long sigh: "Alas~! Even my own children will betray me, so why should I ask others to be faithful to me? These consequences were foreseen before I rebelled, and rebellion is disloyalty, and the fate of the disloyal should be me! ”

"Humph! You think very thoroughly, if you didn't favor Zhang Shumo, why would you be in such a situation now! ”

"Am I partial? Hum! You don't want to think about why I should recognize Shumo? Didn't I want to send you to Yan Kingdom? Shumo has made so many sacrifices for you and me, shouldn't I be good to him?! Zhang Lu suddenly became angry, in his heart, the only person he was really sorry for was Zhang Shumo, but he didn't expect Zhang Yu to think that he was biased against Zhang Shumo, which made it difficult for Zhang Lu to control his emotions anymore.

Zhang Yu didn't expect that Zhang Lu would have such a fierce reaction when he mentioned Zhang Shumo, maybe it was the awe of Zhang Lu that he had cultivated since he was a child, and when he heard Zhang Lu's angry roar, Zhang Yu actually stood aside silently, not saying cool words.

At the same time, Xue Liang and his party had already arrived at the west gate of Qinyang City. When Wu Tai arrived here, he could no longer follow the crowd, so he said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, my family is still in the city, and I can't let the soldiers see me, so I can only send you here." ”

But Xue Liang looked at the situation at the West Gate, there were only 500 soldiers guarding the urn city at the west gate, but the situation in the urn city was difficult to know. This made Xue Liang still look at Wu Tai with some hesitation.

Wu Tai felt Xue Liang's gaze, and said with understanding: "If they want to stop you, it is best to keep you out of the urn city, because even if they arrange soldiers in the urn city, the urn city is small and cannot give full play to the advantage of being overcrowded." So please feel free to go. ”

Everyone nodded, thanked Wu Tai one after another, and then slammed out of the alley and rushed towards the west gate.

In Zhang Yu and Xu Yi's plan, controlling Zhang Lu was the first priority, so they mobilized the troops of the two city gates and Wu Yu's tiger ben to go to the palace to deal with the palace guards. At the same time, Wu Lei was asked to take the guards at the north gate to clear the street and besiege Xue Liang. In this way, even if Xue Liang can rescue Lou Zaiying and escape, they must think that Wu Lei is not guarding the north gate, so they will flee from the north gate. So Zhang Yu ordered Cao Qi to take the soldiers of the West Gate to guard the North Gate, so in addition to the North Gate, the other gates of Qinyang City were only guarded by 500 soldiers, and the defense was greatly weakened.

This fell into the hands of Xue Liang and his party. The five hundred soldiers of Ximen immediately became nervous when they saw Xue Liang suddenly lead people out to kill. But from the bottom of their hearts, they thought that they only had 500 people and couldn't accomplish anything at all, so the morale of the army was very weak.

On the other side, Xue Liang brought hundreds of guards, they knew that if they couldn't escape from the city today, eighty percent would be dead, so they all rushed out with the determination to die.

The mentality of the two sides was naturally reflected in the morale of both sides, and the morale of Xue Liang's side was high, and everyone shouted "kill" and rushed towards the soldiers defending the city. The soldiers were crushed at the touch of a button, and fled privately, almost giving up the gates of the urn city.

Xue Liang hurriedly led people to open the urn city, and sure enough, as Wu Tai expected, there were no soldiers in the urn city. But there were still many soldiers defending the city who went up to the city wall and began to shoot arrows at the people in the urn city, trying to save some face.

But the number of these soldiers was not many after all, and the arrows shot could not form effective damage, so they could only watch Xue Liang and his party escape from Qinyang City.

On the other side, Wu Lei lied and blocked Xu Yi and did not let him take people to the West Gate. As soon as Xu Yi left, Wu Lei regretted clapping his thighs: Xue Liang and his party fled to the West Gate, and the soldiers at the West Gate would definitely come to report. But he told Xu Yi that he hadn't seen Xue Liang and them, and Xu Yi, the old fox, would definitely have some suspicions! No, it looks like you have to strike first!

Thinking of this, Wu Lei immediately led his subordinates straight to the palace.

Zhang Yu, who was anxiously waiting, learned that Wu Lei was coming, and immediately made a noise. As soon as Wu Lei saw Zhang Yu, he knelt on one knee: "Young Master Yu, the last general thinks that Xue Liang and his party are likely to have left Qinyang City!" ”

Zhang Yuyi frowned: "Why did General Wu say this?" Could it be that you didn't find Xue Liang's whereabouts? ”

Wu Lei shook his head: "At first, the last general found Xue Liang's whereabouts near Zhangfu, and when he was about to pursue, he was blocked by Mr. Xu with a thousand men and horses, and Mr. Xu also asked me about Xue Liang's whereabouts in turn, which made the last general very puzzled. Then the last general learned that Xue Liang and others rescued Lou Zaiying from Zhangfu while Mr. Xu was out, so the last general took his men to stop but could no longer find the whereabouts of Xue Liang and his party! ”

"How could this happen?" Zhang Yu couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

It didn't take long for Xu Yi to also come to the palace, and when he saw Zhang Yu, he immediately said: "Childe, just now the soldiers from the West Gate came to report that Xue Liang had fled from the West Gate with people!" After speaking, Xu Yi glanced at Wu Lei meaningfully.

Wu Lei preemptively said: "It's strange, Xue Liang should have chosen to flee from the north gate after seeing me on the street, why did he choose to flee directly from the west gate, could it be that someone revealed Gongzi's plan in advance?" ”

When Xu Yi heard this, he was talking but was stopped by Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu knew in his heart that no matter what the situation was now, completing his plan was the most important thing.

So, Zhang Yu said to everyone: "If you escape, just flee, sooner or later I will lead people to level the northwest, they just have two more days to live." Since this is the case, let's let Lou Guang enter the palace first, and complete our plan first! ”

After speaking, Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Lu, and couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, from now on, he will be the emperor of Huaiguo!
