There are not many people who can become famous generals, not all of them are due to bad circumstances, and in many cases, their own factors are the key.

A fire broke out in Xiapi, and Zhang Liao and others stationed in Pengcheng also got the news.

They also gathered their troops and horses, but not all of them rushed to Xiapi City.

On the contrary, Hou Cheng stayed in Pengcheng, while Zang Ba led his troops to the vicinity of Xiapi. As for Zhang Liao, he went all the way north.

Because they understand that the more times like this, the more restless factors tend to be agitated.

……

Thirty miles northeast of Pengcheng, Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses stopped because his target had been found.

Now stationed a few zhang away from him is Liu Bei's army and horse, which was released by Xiao Pei, and the commander of the army, Zhang Fei.

"Brother Yide, where are you going?"

Zhang Liao ordered his subordinates to open up and block Zhang Fei's way.

Zhang Fei pretended not to see clearly, looked at the pergola with his hand, and asked back, "Is it Wenyuan on the other side?" ”

"Exactly, I don't know where Yide wants to lead the army?"

"Oh, the soldiers who went out to patrol the night reported that there was a fire in the direction of Xiapi, and my eldest brother was worried that General Lu was in danger, so he sent me to bring troops to help."

"Thank you, General Liu. Just now I also received a report that it was just a sergeant who accidentally ignited the grain and grass in the city. Now General Lu is putting out the fire, and there is no big problem. ”

"Oh, I see, but I don't know what the fire is, why don't you and I go together to see if General Lu needs help?"

"It's already uneasy to alarm Brother Yide in the middle of the night, how can I make you work harder. What's more, Peng Cheng has already mobilized people to rush there, so he won't go to Brother Laoyide. ”

"That is the case, that Zhang Fei is respectful and not as obedient, if General Lu has an order, Xiao Pei's soldiers and horses will be dispatched."

"On behalf of General Lu, I thanked General Liu for his kindness, and I was responsible for guarding the city, so I will not be far away."

With that, the two said goodbye.

Zhang Fei shook his head with a smile, and ordered the former army to change to the rear army, and the rear army to the front army, and return the same way.

Yan Yun had a favorite to say in the eighteen horsemen, so he stepped forward and asked: "Third general, we have 10,000 horses and horses, just let Zhang Liao send a few words?" ”

"Look back, did Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses ever return to the city?"

"Uh," the cavalryman looked back, "Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses did not return to the city. ”

"That's it. He doesn't believe us at all, and even if our army leaves, he won't be back to the city tonight. He'll be on patrol all the roads we might be taking. ”

"This Zhang Liao is really cautious!"

It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu is terrifying. Forget it, anyway, the original purpose of tonight was just to test the communication between the various cities of Lu Bujun's army, pass the order, and go back to the city to sleep! ”

……

Zhang Liao watched Zhang Fei's military horse leave, and he was quite emotional in his heart.

Fortunately, he caught up with him, but from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that he would not meet Xiao Pei Bingma.

Zhang Liao always hoped that Liu Bei's uneasy factor would be submissive for a moment, but today it seems that as long as he relaxes a little, he is still Lu Bu's biggest hidden danger.

Now that Liu Bei has obtained the burden of the Yellow Turban Grain Depot, and he is also constantly expanding his troops and horses in Xiaopei, I believe that in the near future, there will inevitably be a vicious battle with Lu Bu.

The male tiger on the pillow has to be removed!

In fact, there is no need for Zhang Fei to guess, Zhang Liao must be armed tonight.

When a city is in trouble, rescue is necessary, but more importantly, it is to eliminate other greater dangers.

This is the quality of a famous player.

Zhang Liao knew that he couldn't sleep this night......

……

Zang Ba's soldiers and horses were now confused, because the meeting he expected did not take place.

sent a few soldiers to the city to inquire about the situation, and Zang Ba ordered his subordinates to patrol around Xiapi City to prevent anyone from sneaking in.

The reason why he and Zhang Liao were not in a hurry to support was because of their trust in their brothers in the city.

Unless all those brothers become traitors, no matter what happens in Xiapi City, they will desperately protect Lu Bu.

But why didn't that man come?

Zhao Yun, there was a commotion in Xiapi, why didn't you show up?

Zang Ba's heart was very uneasy, it seemed that as long as there was something on Lu Bu's side, Zhao Yun would make a move, but this time, it was so quiet?

However, he is also a person from Hebei General Hall, and Zhao Yun will certainly not disappoint Zang Ba.

As if in response to his expectations, Zhao Yun appeared.

It's just that his appearance made Zang Ba even more uneasy.

Because this time, without any cover-up or strategy, Zhao Yun appeared from a distance so quietly.

One person rides, and the sound of hooves is slow.

The soldiers beside Zang Ba also recognized Zhao Yun, and they immediately lined up in front, their eyes looking for traces of the Long Feng camp left and right.

However, Zang Ba just ordered them to get out of the way and rode up alone.

"Zilong."

Zang Ba shouted calmly.

Zhao Yun didn't answer, just turned over and dismounted, and continued to walk forward.

"Alas, I see."

Zang Ba also jumped off his horse and approached.

"You're not going to do it today?" Zang Ba asked with a smile.

"I'm just here to say a few words to you."

"Please."

"You don't need to guard against me all day long, I once said, now I just want to keep Xuzhou peaceful, as for who is the lord of Xuzhou, it has nothing to do with me."

"Help Liu Bei get Xiaopei and get the Yellow Turban Grain Depot, how can you still say that?"

"When he helped Tian Kai, he saved me, and I don't want to owe him favors. Now that it has been paid off, I will no longer participate in his battle with Lu Bu. ”

"But one day, he will always be a big trouble for Xuzhou and Lu Bu, and he will eventually fight again!"

"Then make up your mind. You just have to remember that whoever ignites the war in Xuzhou first will be my Zhao Yun's enemy. ”

"Heh, when will your stubborn character change?"

Zang Ba smiled and stepped forward, only to find that Zhao Yun had stepped back at the same time.

"Are you and I so unfamiliar?" Zang Ba's smile faded, and his expression was a little sad.

"In troubled times, each is his master. Don't leave too much unnecessary personal feelings, so as not to start and look ahead. ”

"To each his own...... Who are you Zhao Zilong for? ”

"For the people of Xuzhou."

"But you're not a night blade anymore!" Zang Ba's words were shouted. Although he didn't hear clearly, all his subordinates not far behind him raised their weapons.

Zhao Yun looked around behind Zang Ba, among these people, there should be many former companions.

In a difficult world, I can't help myself. If it is irretrievable, it can only move forward.

What needs to be said has been made clear. As for whether Zang Ba believes it or not, Zhao Yun doesn't care.

Grabbing the reins, Zhao Yun turned over and got on the horse.

Zang Ba stretched out his hand, but he didn't know what to say. The moment they looked at each other, Zang Ba knew that this brother was going farther and farther.

Zhao Yun turned his horse's head and galloped towards the dark night.

Zang Ba's raised hand took a long time before putting it down.

He lowered his head and sighed, did not look in that direction again, but looked at Xia Pi and said, "Enter the city." ”

……

Hao Meng's head was placed on the ground in front of Lu Bu, his eyes were empty, but he could feel a trace of despair.

"Why is that?" Chen Gong had already arrived, but it was too late after all.

"Hao Meng's rebellion has been quelled." Lu Bu's face was expressionless.

"Cao Xing! Where's Cao Xing? ”

"I was wounded in the battle and has returned to the camp to bandage." Wei continued to reply.

"Alas! Bongxian, things haven't been clarified yet, you ...... How can you do that! You must know that killing your own generals will boost morale! ”

But Lu Bu's gaze was still so calm.

Slowly, he turned his head and looked at Chen Gong, but did not speak.

Chen Gong was shocked, as a strategist, he was too good at observing people. Lu Bu's eyes were mixed with suspicion and strangeness.

"What's going on? Bong-first? Chen Gong tried to ask.

"Nothing else."

Chen Gong's heart was instantly twisted together with these words, although he didn't know why, but Lu Bu built a wall in his heart, a high wall that no one could overcome.

He didn't know the reason, everyone didn't know the reason, only Lu Bu and Cao Xing knew it.

Because before Cao Xing was taken away, he once whispered Hao Meng's dying words in Lu Bu's ear.

The conspirators of today's rebellion, Chen Gong is also among them!

If it is true, then Chen Gong went to announce the news, in order to stabilize himself, or even to take the opportunity to assassinate.

After tonight, Lu Bu no longer trusted anyone.

If even the brothers who were grinding together in the army and going through so many ups and downs together will betray, who else can be trusted?

Slightly tired, Lu Bu stopped talking to anyone and left alone.

————————————————

Although they searched all night, Duan Xuan and the others, as assassins, were not trapped if they wanted to avoid being trapped.

On the second day, they slipped out of Xiapi in disguise.

Of course, all three of them looked very depressed. After all, it was planned for a long time, and it almost succeeded.

"I'm not going back." Zhang Feng suddenly spoke.

"Why?" Ling Yuan was surprised.

"Since Brother Xuan failed to get rid of Lu Bu, he is distrusting me, so why should I cooperate with him again."

"Enough!" Duan Xuan rarely showed annoyance in front of Zhang Feng and Ling Yuan.

"What! Am I wrong? Zhang Feng completely ignored Ling Yuan's pleading eyes and argued.

"That's right! I couldn't get rid of Lu Bu, but you don't have to worry about it. Since the way of the Assassins can't be done, then use strategy. ”

"Hmph, what else do you do?"

"You let me go for two months. The lord is now going to greet the emperor, and when he returns, I will suggest to him that he send troops to attack Lü Bu. ”

"Hehe, have you forgotten? If Cao Cao sent troops, he would first have to pass Liu Bei's pass. ”

"That's why I want you to let me go for two months. During this time, you only have to follow my plan, and I guarantee that when the time comes, Liu Bei will stand on the side of the lord! ”

If it was someone else, Zhang Feng would definitely scold. But when these words came out of Duan Xuan's mouth, he couldn't help but believe it.

After all, this man used to be the first military division in Cao Cao's army, "Xi Zhicai".

"What if you lose your word again?"

"At that time, not only will I not ask you if you go or stay, but even my Duan Xuan's life will be at your disposal!"

Looking at Duan Xuan's resolute eyes, Zhang Feng nodded with a wry smile.

……

Breaking his fangs and killing him, the biggest misfortune of Lu Bu, a fierce tiger, in this life was that he met Duan Xuan.
