Chapter 684: Hongmen Banquet
Zhang Yu was more cautious, and waited outside the city until noon, and only entered the city after the army came.
The lineup that entered the city was Dian Wei, Han Dong, and 8,000 soldiers.
The rest of the soldiers and horses waited outside the city.
Zhang Yu and the others entered the city, under the escort of Dian Wei and the soldiers.
"No, how can this embroidery be so sparse at the city gate."
After entering the city, Zhang Yu carefully observed and found that the defense at the city gate was not tight, and even the soldiers on the city were very sparse.
How could this embroidery be so negligent, is it just to show favor to himself.
Zhang Yu didn't think about it, and led people to continue to follow Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu was more grand, and there were people on both sides of the road who welcomed it.
Zhang Yu frowned at this time and did not speak.
"It's not easy to do, Zhang Xiu is so grand, and what he wants is bound to be big."
Zhang Yu thought that Zhang Xiu wanted to talk to him about cooperation, and the requirements were also high.
Along the way, Zhang Yu paid attention to observing, and always felt very strange in his heart.
Zhang Xiu chose to receive Zhang Yu in the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhang Yu's army was stationed not far from the City Lord's Mansion, but that place could not accommodate so many troops.
In the end, five thousand troops were stationed in the open space in the distance, and three thousand troops followed Zhang Yu, but the closer they got to the City Lord's Mansion, the smaller the space.
In the end, another 2,500 troops were separated, and Zhang Yu could only follow with 500 soldiers.
Zhang Yu didn't doubt it, this was a normal operation.
Zhang Xiu was very enthusiastic along the way.
"No, the atmosphere in this city lord's mansion is not right." After approaching the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Yu had a strong feeling.
The soldiers here obviously knew something, and when they saw Zhang Yu and them coming, they showed a slightly nervous look.
In particular, there was vigilance in their eyes.
These people must have known something in advance, or what arrangements Zhang Xiu had.
"Is Zhang Xiu going to do something to me?" Zhang Yu thought.
Zhang Yu glanced at Zhang Xiu, he was still so enthusiastic and didn't show any abnormality.
However, Zhang Yu didn't dare to be unguarded, this was related to his own life.
Zhang Yu secretly stretched out his foot and tripped Han Dong.
"Oops."
Han Dong didn't pay attention, and was tripped by Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu took a step forward and kicked over: "Things that don't have long eyes, shame on people, go back to me." ”
Han Dong was kicked twice by Zhang Yu and was stunned.
Zhang Yu was very strict with his subordinates, but he never scolded and insulted the soldiers.
If a soldier makes a mistake, Zhang Yu's punishment is also very strict, but not in this way.
Therefore, Han Dong didn't understand why Zhang Yu suddenly did this to him.
However, he didn't dare to disobey Zhang Yu's words, and stopped and went back with a face full of grievances.
"The discipline is not strict, which makes General Zhang smile." Driving Han Dong away, Zhang Yu said to Zhang Xiu with a smile.
Zhang Xiu didn't care either, they all said that Zhang Yu's temperament was changeable, what if he beat a young general, even if Zhang Yu cut Han Dong to him, he wouldn't feel strange.
Most of the five hundred soldiers were outside the City Lord's Mansion, and Zhang Yu took Dian Wei and dozens of soldiers into it.
After entering, Zhang Yu observed more carefully and found a lot of problems.
Zhang Yu knew that this time he had entered the tiger's den, and there was indeed an ambush inside.
Knowing that there was an ambush, Zhang Yu made some responses.
Entering the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Yu took Dian Wei and dozens of guards in, and the others were all outside the main hall.
At this time, Dian Wei can't be reminded that Dian Wei's mind can't hide things, and it is easy to expose flaws.
Anyway, Han Dong felt more and more wrong when he went back.
Zhang Yu's performance was too abnormal.
"Did the lord let me come back because he saw the danger?" Han Dong thought.
Thinking that Zhang Yu might be in danger, this Han Dong naturally paid attention to it.
When he returned, he secretly ordered to be on guard.
At this time, it was still daytime, and Zhang Xiu hadn't done it yet, and everything in Wancheng was very calm.
Han Dong returned to the army and quietly ordered to send a few people out to find out the news.
When a few soldiers went out, they were immediately targeted, and Han Dong saw it really and knew that this embroidery must be going to do something.
Han Dong wanted to send people out of the city, but the city gate was blocked, and he could only enter but not exit.
"This embroidery is really going to be bad for the lord, but how can I pass on the information?"
Han Dong was very anxious, but there was no way at all, could he kill and rescue Zhang Yu now?
But at this time, he didn't know Zhang Yu's situation, and his rash action could only harm Zhang Yu.
After more than an hour, someone warned Han Dong.
"Who are you? How do you know that Zhang Xiu is going to be unfavorable to my lord? "In the barracks, a guy about thirty years old came.
"I am one of the intelligence officers stationed here, and we also found out about Zhang Xiu's secret movements, and now there are troops secretly advancing towards the City Lord's Mansion, and they have already controlled the city gate." The man said.
"I will find a way to receive the lord's capital, but the most important thing now is to inform the army outside the city, otherwise even if the lord comes out, they won't be able to leave the city." Han Dong said anxiously.
Now that they can't get out of the city, it's hard to inform the troops outside the city.
"We have some special ways to get in touch, but it's very difficult, go back and try, or make a few more preparations." The intelligence officer said.
When the man left, Han Dong's heart became even tighter, and he had already confirmed that this embroidery was going to be done to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu and the others arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and Zhang Xiu received them eagerly.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Xiu asked Zhang Yu and them to rest first.
After entering the room, Zhang Yu's face was very bad.
After Zhang Xiu left, he hurried to see Jia Xu.
"Wenhe, Zhang Yu really fell for the trick and has already entered the City Lord's Mansion, have you already arranged it over there?"
Jia Xu touched his mustache and said: "I'm ready, but it's still very risky, and I ask the general not to hesitate when the time comes." ”
Zhang Xiu nodded, the matter had really arrived, and he was also a little scared.
In the evening, Zhang Xiu sent someone to invite them again.
At this time, the area around the City Lord's Mansion was also blocked.
Since there was half a day, it was also difficult for Zhang Xiu not to be detected, but it was very easy to block the surroundings of the City Lord's Mansion.
At the beginning of the banquet, Zhang Xiu invited Zhang Yu to a banquet in the city lord's mansion.
At this time, Zhang Yu had returned to normal, and he didn't see anything unusual at all.
"Evil comes, go and bring our good wine, how can a good feast be without good wine." Zhang Yu said.
"Haha, I've long heard that Jiangdong's fine wine is unparalleled in the world, and I can just taste it today." Zhang Xiu said.
The banquet began, and both sides were polite.
Zhang Yu didn't let Dian Wei sit down, and let him guard on the side.
After chatting for a long time, Zhang Xiu finally got to the point.
"General Zhang, I heard that you like to do business with others the most, and I, Wancheng, also want to cooperate with you, I don't know if General Zhang can afford to be in charge?" Zhang Xiu said.
"Of course, I can afford to see General Zhang, but the waterway needs to pass through Jingzhou, Cai Mao must do tricks, and there is no profit at all in going around a big circle by land, so I am afraid it will be a little difficult to cooperate." Zhang Yu said truthfully.
"Haha, if you don't cooperate, then you can only be an enemy." Zhang Xiu said.
Zhang Yu had expected it and was not surprised.
"It seems that this is a Hongmen banquet." Zhang Yu said calmly.
