Chapter 373: The house leak happened to rain overnight

"Youping panic! The east comes too Shi Ci to come! A general in the coming army roared, and the sound was in all directions.

"It turned out to be Tai Shi Ci!" Zhang Liao and Li Dian were both taken aback.

Tai Shi Ci has been fighting with the little overlord Sun Ce since that year, he didn't know each other, he surrendered to the Sun family with sympathy, he was loyal, made many military exploits, and was famous all over the world, and now he suddenly heard his name, how could he not be surprised. However, they were a little puzzled, how did Tai Shici's Ganning army, which had been defending Liu Yong in Jingzhou in the Yuzhang and Poyang areas, suddenly arrive here.

It turned out that after Sun Quan and Liu Yong reached an agreement and formed an alliance, they ordered Tai Shi Ci to withdraw the army according to his words, and Gan Ning also withdrew according to Liu Yong's order.

But Zhang Liao and Li Dian are both scheming people, and they quickly figured out the joints, and they were even more horrified. Once Liu Yong and Sun Quan suddenly turned to an alliance from fighting to death, the consequences would be very significant, and they were ready to report to Cao Cao immediately after returning to the city.

Tai Shi Ci led the army to rush over, and as soon as the roar fell, Zhang Liao heard the sound of the bowstring, and sure enough, he saw that Tai Shi Ci was holding a bow in his right hand, and his left hand had just revealed the appearance of an arrow. An eagle feather burst through the air at great speed and enlarged in Zhang Liao's eyes.

Everyone knows that Tai Shi Ci's archery skills are excellent, how can Zhang Liao not be frightened, and suddenly block Zhou Tai's knife with all his strength, wielding a halberd to block the arrow.

Li Dian saw it a few feet away and shouted, "Wen Yuan be careful! ”

But after all, it was in a hurry, and it was a lot of physical exhaustion, Zhang Liao's movements were a little slower, although he dodged the vital point, but the arrow still hit his shoulder in an instant, burrowed into the flesh, and brought out a blood flower.

Seeing that Zhang Liao was injured, Zhou Tai was willing to let go of such an opportunity, and immediately swung his knife to take Zhang Liao's head.

Zhang Liao really felt the taste of death at this moment, and sighed in his heart: "I can't imagine that my Zhang Liao will die here for the rest of my life, alas!" Pity! ”

It's too late, it's fast, the sound of breaking wind next to him sounded, and a spear stabbed at Zhou Tai from the side with the sound of the wind.

Zhou Tai was taken aback, even if he tried his best to kill Zhang Liao, he would be pierced to death, so he had to temporarily change his moves, change direction, and block this fatal blow with all his might. It turned out that Li Dian saw Zhang Liao's life hanging by a thread and came to the rescue.

After walking away from the ghost gate, Zhang Liao's back was drenched in cold sweat, and he was blown by the night wind, his whole body was cold, and his contempt for Jiangdong disappeared without a trace.

A few miles away, Hefei City.

At the head of the city, Le Jin put on his armor and held his sword, raising his eyes to look at the Wu camp, and the overwhelming firelight made his mood more and more heavy.

Originally, with a heart of hope, he encouraged Zhang Liao and Li Dian to go out of the city to rob the enemy camp at night, but soon after, he received bad news that Zhang Liao was besieged. With Lejin's insight, he immediately judged that Zhou Yu's intention was recognized.

A quarter of an hour ago, Li Dian had just sent someone back to send a message, saying that he had set off to meet Zhang Liao, hoping to rescue Zhang Liao.

In his heart, Le Jin really didn't care much about Zhang Liao's life or death, but at the moment he had to worry about this person's safety. If Zhang Liao unfortunately dies in battle, it will be a major blow to the morale of the entire Hefei garrison, and he will face an even more unfavorable situation, which Lejin does not want to see.

As soon as Li Dian left, half an hour had passed, and he had never returned to the army, and the haze between Lejin's eyebrows was even heavier.

In his own apprehension, a bloody ragged cavalry fled back to Hefei, Le Jin was anxious to pass to the city for interrogation, and only after asking did he know that Zhou Yu had ambushed the second ambush, and Li Dian and Zhang Liao, who rushed to meet him, were besieged by the Jiangdong army a few miles away.

"How so!" Le Jin was stunned, groaned slightly, and shouted: "Quickly order the whole army to assemble and follow me to rescue the trapped army." ”

Le Jin's surname was like a fire, and when he heard that the friendly army was surrounded, he had to sit back and watch the unfavorable move, so he immediately led the army out of the city to meet the second general Zhang and Li.

Before the order was given, before he could go down to the city, the supervising army Xue Yi hurriedly arrived and exclaimed, "General Le, what are you going to do?" ”

Le Jin said as he descended the stairs: "I don't have time to tell you in detail, Wen Yuan and Man Cheng are surrounded by enemy troops, and I have to rush to rescue them." ”

Xue Yi followed down the stairs and hurriedly persuaded: "General Le, Prime Minister Cao has an order, order General Le to defend the city, not to fight, how can you disobey the Prime Minister's order." ”

"The situation has changed, if Zhang and Li have flashes, their morale will be greatly damaged, how can they defend the city at that time." While Le Jin was speaking, the man had already turned over on his horse, pulled the reins and was about to leave.

Xue Yi's duty was to supervise the army, and it was the duty of the army to monitor the loyalty of the leading generals and supervise their compliance with Cao Cao's orders.

Cao Cao made it very clear in the secret order that if the Wu army came, Zhang and Li would go to battle and defend the city.

Now although the second general Zhang and Li are surrounded, even if the two of them die in battle, it is none of Xue Yi's business, because he acted in full accordance with Cao Cao's orders. But if Le enters and goes to war, in case there is a mistake, then he will be jointly and severally liable for dereliction of duty as a protector, and with the strictness of Cao Cao's military law, how can he bear it if he is to blame.

Thinking of this, Xue Yi was terrified in his heart, and in front of him, Le Jin was about to leave, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the reins of his horse, and said sharply: "General Le, the prime minister has an order, it is strictly forbidden to fight, you still have to be like this, aren't you afraid of the prime minister's military law!" ”

Le Jin was shocked when he heard this, and his heart suddenly became afraid.

Cao Cao's usage is so strict, Le Jin has followed him for many years, he knows this best, Xue Yi is right, if the prime minister is really to blame, even if he is a general who has followed Yuan Gong for many years, he will never show mercy.

Xue Yi saw that Le Jin was hesitant, and immediately took the opportunity to further persuade: "General Le, think about it, since the Wu people can set up two ambushes, it means that Zhou Yu has already seen through the prime minister's plan." Now if the general you go out of the city without authorization, the Wu people take the opportunity to attack Hefei, and if there is a mistake in Hefei at that time, you and I will become the country's criminal ministers, such a serious crime, you and I can afford it. ”

After Xue Yi's persuasion, Lejin's fighting spirit disappeared, he lowered his eyebrows and was silent, and after muttering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and sighed, threw the horsewhip to the ground, jumped off the horse, and returned to the city with heavy steps.

Looking at the direction of Wuying from afar, Le Jin's expression was extremely ugly.

Xue Yi knew that if Zhang Liaoer had something to do, Le Jin would bear the "infamy" of sitting back and not saving his comrades, for a general who was known as a prestige in the army, how could such a reputation not make him uncomfortable.

But at such a point, Xue Yi had no choice, so he had to comfort from the side: "General Zhang and General Li have excellent martial arts, even if they are surrounded, they will be able to fight their way out of the siege, General Le, you can relax." ”

In desperation, Le Jin could only sigh secretly.
