Chapter 096 Four or Two Thousand Pounds
Zhang Liao had never seen Li Dao before, but he heard that Li Dao was Dong Zhuo's confidant and favorite general, and he had fought with Dong Zhuo for many years and made great achievements. The www.biquge.info of the pen fun pavilion met Li Dao today, and Zhang Liao realized that this person is by no means simple, and it is not accidental that he can have today's status.
Li Dao's impression to Zhang Liao was: treacherous and eloquent. In just a few words, he dug three series of "pits" for Zhang Liao, and if Zhang Liao was a little negligent, he was afraid that he would fall into it.
Li Wei brought up the old matter again, pretending that the soldiers under his command were not convinced and the state army, and wanted to ask Zhang Liao to teach him, whether Zhang Liao agreed or not, this first pit was dug.
If Zhang Liao does not agree, it is a retreat and avoidance, which is tantamount to a disguised recognition that the state army is inferior to the Xiliang army, which will not only damage the reputation of Zhang Liao himself, but also damage the reputation of the Tiance army. The military general is not courageous, but it is the greatest shame.
If Zhang Liao agrees, although he can avoid the first pit, there are still two pits waiting for him in the back.
Although I don't know what form of "teaching" Li Wei mentioned will be, if Zhang Liao loses, it will still affect his reputation and that of Tiance Jun. This is another pit.
If Zhang Liao wins, Li Dao just took Zhang Liao and Lu Bu alongside, and in the future, there will naturally be a discussion about who is stronger and who is weaker between Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, this is another "super pit"!
Facing Li Dao's serial pit, Zhang Liao said unhurriedly: "Thanks to Zhonglang's praise, Liao is ashamed." Admiral Tiance is a hero of the world, less than one-tenth of Liao. The Xiliang cavalry under the command of Zhonglang has been crisscrossing Liangzhou for many years, and its prestige is far and wide, compared with the cavalry of the state, it is difficult to distinguish between them. The doctrine of teaching, but it is Zhonglang who is humble. Liao has a discussion, since the Yuan army is entrenched in Xiuwu, Liao is willing to assist General Zhonglang to drive the Yuan army out of Hanoi as soon as possible! ”
Zhang Liao's answer was not leaky, not only successfully bypassing the three pits dug by Li Dao, but also transferring the contradiction to Yuan Shao's head!
As a subordinate, Zhang Liao frankly admitted that he was not as good as the main general Lu Bu, and there was no shame at all. On the contrary, it will also make people feel that Zhang Liao is generally knowledgeable, and he pays attention to maintaining Lu Bu's reputation outside.
As a guest, Zhang Liao praised the Xiliang Army as powerful as the Bingzhou Army, and it was not ashamed, anyway, the tie for first place was verbal, in case they met on the battlefield in the future, who was strong and who was weak, and those who survived had the right to speak!
The most ingenious thing is that Zhang Liao used the sentence "The saying of teaching, but it is Zhonglang who is humble", and directly turned Li Dao's tricks into intangible. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liao expressed his willingness to assist Li Dao in dealing with Yuan Shao and driving Yuan Shao out of Hanoi as soon as possible.
This is not only Zhang Liao's sincerity, but also Zhang Liao's reminder.
Li Dao, don't make trouble, I still have business to do when I come to Hanoi, you also have to concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao, don't play the trick of verbal temptation with me here, delay everyone's time!
Sure enough, after Li Dao listened to Zhang Liao's proposal, he did not dwell on the topic of "teaching" more. He asked Zhang Liao: "Does Wen Yuan have any clever plan to make Yuan Jun retreat quickly?" ”
Zhang Liao replied: "It's not a clever plan, the grain and herbs of the Yuan army are supplied by Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, after Wang Kuang's death, Hanoi is scattered, and the grain and grass left by the Yuan army must not be much." I am willing to lead the army to Xiuwu, cut off the grain route sent by Yuan's army from Jizhou to Hanoi, and force it to retreat! ”
"Wenyuan's strategy is very good! If you can block Yuan's army's grain road for five days, you will definitely be able to take Xiuwu! ”
Zhang Liao then agreed with Li Dao to send troops five days later. Before sending troops, he had to personally go to the vicinity of Xiuwu to reconnoiter and find out the reality and details of Yuan's army.
After the banquet, Zhang Liao returned to his temporary residence and found that Wei Qi had been waiting for him.
Zhang Liao told Wei Qi in detail about his meeting with Li Wei, and Wei Qi was a little worried. He asked Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan doesn't want to have a bad relationship with Li Dao, but he wants to make a bad relationship with Yuan Jun, no matter how dangerous this matter is, once the matter is spread, won't it put the Tiance Army on the opposite side of the Dong Coalition Army?" ”
Wei Qi's worries are not unreasonable, so far, the Tiance Army has neither made it clear that it will stand in the same camp with Dong Zhuo, nor has it clashed with the coalition forces that are fighting Dong. If Zhang Liao led people to cut off the grain route of the Yuan army, causing the North Road to ask Dong Lianjun to withdraw to Jizhou, it would be equivalent to sitting on the same camp of Tiance Army and Dong Zhuo.
From a political point of view, this is definitely a big deal. Not to mention other influences, at least it will affect Lu Bu's plans to recruit talents in various states. Dong Zhuo is unpopular, and those capable cattle will naturally not easily take refuge in front of the main public account of the same camp as Dong Zhuo.
Zhang Liao bowed his head, agreed with Wei Qian's concerns, and explained: "Wei Zhen reminded him very much, and Liao also considered this. If I lead the army to take the initiative to intercept the grain route of the Yuan army, it will naturally be the Tiance army that will be the loser. However, if the Yuan army retreats without a fight and takes the initiative to withdraw from Xiuwu, it will have nothing to do with the Tiance army. At that time, Li Dao would have no excuse to stop us from entering Xiuwu. ”
Wei Qi felt that Zhang Liao's idea was a little incredible, how could Yuan Shao take the initiative to withdraw from the army at such a time?
Zhang Liao didn't explain more to Wei Qi, in case the partition wall had ears, revealing his plan.
The next day, Zhang Liao changed into clothes to disguise his identity, left Wen County with only twenty horses, and went straight to Huai County, Hanoi.
Located on the south bank of Qinshui, Huai County is the seat of Hanoi County. At the beginning, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang was raided by Li Dao from the flank and rear near Mengjin, and after the defeat, he fled back to Huai County, and was killed in the Taishou Mansion by assassins found by Hu Wuban's relatives not long after.
After Wang Kuang's death, the county soldiers he had recruited in Hanoi scattered and fled, and with the threat of Li Dao outside, Huai County became a dangerous and chaotic city. The clans in Huaixian County hid in the dock fort to protect themselves, and the common people who had no support fled to the Taihang Mountains to the north.
After Zhang Liao arrived in Huai County with twenty people, after some inquiry, he found Hu Wuban's relatives, and then scared them and said: "It was Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, who ordered Wang Kuang to kill Hu Wuban, and you bribed the assassins to kill Wang Kuang to avenge Hu Wuban, Yuan Shao already knew, and he will not let you go!" While Yuan Shao hasn't sent anyone to arrest you yet, hurry up and leave the city and flee north for your life!" ”
Hu Wuban's relatives were frightened by Zhang Liao's words, because they were extremely secretive at the beginning, and although the outside world was suspicious, Zhang Liao was the first person to find out the cause of Wang Kuang's death. They saw that Zhang Liao and the twenty people behind him were all majestic and extraordinary, and they all had weapons hanging from their waists, so they didn't dare to provoke Zhang Liao.
After Zhang Liao left, Hu Wuban's relatives hurriedly packed up their valuable belongings, and then fled Huaixian overnight.
Zhang Liao and his entourage lurked near Xiuwu again, and then grabbed some people who were cultivating Wuwu, and scared these people and said: "The Hu Wuban relatives in Huai County have already discussed with Jizhou Mu Hanfu, and plan to organize Jiading to sneak attack Yuan's army's grain route, and then lead Li Wei's troops to attack Xiuwu!" Li Dao also found Tiance Jun as a helper, and this time Xiuwu will be beaten into a blank slate! ”
After these martial arts cultivators were let go by Zhang Liao, they hurriedly fled back to Xiuwu City and told their relatives and friends what they had heard.
