On the second day, Zhang Liao left Liu's Mansion and found a secluded house nearby, his body and injuries had not recovered, and he still needed to recuperate, Liu Qiao asked Xiao Ning to come over and continue to take care of him, and Liu Lanzhi also came over from time to time.

In the next few days, Xu Chu's flag was planted in Anhui City, and the defense of Anhui County was much stricter. Before Zhang Liao was ambushed, Xu Chu was very vigilant in his heart, and took over the city defense with the personal guard battalion, not daring to slack off, and he himself did not leave his side an inch.

At the same time, Zang Ba led his troops into Jiujiang County, occupied Shouchun, and swept the remnants of Yuan Shu in Jiujiang counties with Shouchun as the center.

Huang Zhong stationed in Shu County, Lujiang, and led his troops to sweep the remnants of Liu Xun in Lujiang County.

The two of them pretended to be at odds with each other, and each of them drew their swords in one place, which really confused many people with intentions.

As for the scene in Wancheng, not many people cared about it, and because Xu Chu, a fierce god who had killed countless people in Lujiang, was stationed in Wancheng, many spies did not dare to go over to inquire about the news.

Now Xu Chu's prestige can stop children crying at night in Jiangbei.

During this period, to Zhang Liao's surprise, Song Chao and his eight hundred horsemen rushed back from Jiangdong, and they never went back.

This made Zhang Liao quite moved, he knew that Song Chao heard the news of his death in battle, and specially came from Jiangdong to look for it, thinking that Sun Ce was now considered to have a firm foothold in Jiangdong, so he did not let Song Chao go back, but followed him first.

However, Song Chao's return reminded him, and he hurriedly ordered the Shadow to send another message to Zhao Wu in Jingzhou, so that he could stay in Jingzhou with peace of mind.

Today's Liu Biao is no longer the original Liu Biao, many people in times of trouble reflect a kind of character, in the rich and noble show another character, Liu Biao in Jingzhou for seven or eight years, and the local clan formed a group, Zhang Liao implemented the imperial examination system as if they turned a blind eye, Ming Feng court, in fact, if it is about to leave, the mind of the kingdom is quite heavy, now Zhang Liao and the court have a falling out, I am afraid that Liu Biao may not be on his side.

Zhao Wu stayed there, even if he lost a son in Jingzhou, he would be able to use it sooner or later in the future.

……

On the morning of the third day, Zhang Liao sat in the new mansion and had been staring at the book in his hand quietly for a long time.

The book is not a classic military book, but a list of fallen soldiers handed over by Yang Han, Guan Ping and Dianman.

Page by page, the name, position, ancestral hometown, and family status of the fallen soldiers are recorded.

Zhang Liao, a soldier of the guard battalion, was very familiar with it, and basically recognized it, he silently looked at the list of names, as if he saw familiar faces floating in front of him:

Lei Dong, the Marquis of Zuoqu in the Guard Battalion, Changle in Dayang Beixiang, Hedong, both parents are there, and there is a younger brother.

Sun Ping, the pro-guard camp Zuoqu Qianshi, Hongnong Xin'an Dongjian Township Sanmenli, father and mother are here, no brothers and sisters.

……

After flipping through the roster, Zhang Liao closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.

Xiao Ning quietly came in to bring tea to Zhang Liao, felt that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be wrong, and did not dare to speak, when he put down the tea tray, he saw that there were water marks on the desk, and he was about to wipe it, but suddenly understood something, and hurriedly retreated.

When she got outside, she breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed to be ...... on the desk just now Tears? Why do generals cry? Her mood was also low.

In the room, after a long time, Zhang Liao opened his somewhat sour eyes, gently put the register in his hand on the desk, and picked up another book.

This book was sent by Shi Ah this morning, and it lists the list of families behind the plot against him.

Zhang Liao opened the book expressionlessly, Shi A's information was very detailed, and each family listed had detailed information, such as the name of the family owner, the family history, the size of the fort, the hidden black household, and the reputation of the township......

The sound of paper is rattling, Zhang Liao is turning page by page, there are more than a dozen families involved, all in the Jianghuai area, in addition to Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, there are also some families in Yuzhou and Xuzhou, especially many families in Chaohu, and some giant bandits have close contacts.

In addition to Yuan Shu's agitation, another important reason behind this is the resistance of these families to the imperial examination system, wanting to eradicate Zhang Liao and support Yuan Shu, the representative of the family.

Zhang Liao also looked at this roster for a long time, put down the book, closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a thick murderous aura bursting out of it!

There are many ways to oppose the imperial examination, but these families have resorted to violence and assassination, not to mention taking the life of him, a great general, and killing so many of his personal guards, all of whom are elites drawn from various armies, and they will all be elites who will be reused in the future, but they died at the hands of these selfish villains!

Since they resorted to violence, then don't blame themselves for sacrificing butcher knives!

Zhang Liao has many ways to deal with the family, and he doesn't like to use this most extreme way, but now that others have raised their knives to cut at him, then he will not be stupid to repay grievances with virtue, in this kind of dispute involving the interests of the country and the family, repaying grievances with virtue will only be exchanged for inches.

And the revenge of the guard battalion, he must avenge it!

How could he turn a blind eye to the fact that the guards died for him? Use the blood of his comrades to show his generosity, he Zhang Liao can't do it!

It's time to start reckoning.

As soon as Zhang Liao stood up, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "The last general, Dian Wei, begs to see the lord!" ”

Jinghui is here?!

Zhang Liao couldn't help but be overjoyed, hurriedly walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Xu Chu and Zhao Wuzheng standing aside, and a big man kneeling on one knee in the middle, but who was Dian Wei?

"Haha! Jinghui, I miss me! ”

Zhang Liao bent down to help Dian Wei up, looked at his fierce and kind face, and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder: "Good Jinghui, I haven't seen him for two years." ”

"Lord!" Dian Wei Hu's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't help but bow to Zhang Liao again: "The last general...... The last general ......"

He heard the news of Zhang Liao's death in Xuzhou, and he didn't want to believe it while being angry, so he rushed to Chaohu Lake day and night, and finally heard the good news, and then hurried to Anhui County, until he saw Zhang Liao in person, he settled down, but he was speechless with excitement for a while.

"I understand!" Zhang Liao took a deep breath.

Among the several generals under his command, only Dian Wei and Gao Shun have been following him since he started, especially Dian Wei, who was originally his personal guard, followed him to fight east and west, lived and died together, and the love established between them is incomparable.

After a while, calming down, Zhang Liao summoned Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhao Wu into the house.

When Dian Wei entered the house, he asked murderously: "Lord, have those villains who ambushed the lord ever killed them all?" ”

"The bandits Xuangao and Hansheng are already being cleared, and the black hands behind the scenes, those families involved, have been identified, and they are all recorded in this booklet."

Zhang Liao picked up the roster on the desk and handed it to the three of them: "Within a month, take down the forts of these families, lock up all their heads and descendants to see me, and I will take them to the Martyrs' Shrine...... As for those who resist, they will be killed. ”

The voice was calm, but murderous.
