"Is that them?"

"It's ...... them"

This is on the edge of the school field that has been circled by a temporary military camp outside Pingzhou and Zhou, where Lu Bu and Jia Xu saw several men who were escorted by Wang Cheng and his party.

In addition to them, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and Wei Xu and others also rushed over when they heard the news, plus some soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who were watching in their spare time, a group of people gathered around here inevitably seemed a little congested, Lu Bu and Jia Xu also squeezed over, letting the other soldiers disperse, and then greeted them one after another, before asking Wang Cheng on the other side, and Wang Cheng also gave an affirmative answer, and Lu Bu took a closer look at those people.

There were four people in total, all under thirty years old, and their clothes were quite similar to those of the Bingzhou Army, and if they looked at it from a distance, they might have thought they were their own people.

However, Lu Bu could still see some subtle differences, especially the color was darker than the color worn by the Bingzhou army.

Frowning, Lu Bu stared at the four of them and asked, "I heard that you are a flamboyant scout, right?" ”

The three or four people had puffy faces, obviously suffering a lot of punishment, and when one of them was about to speak, it seemed to affect the wound on his face, and he couldn't help but "sizzle" and inhale the cold air again and again, but under the gaze of Wang Cheng, the biggest demon in their eyes at this moment, he still endured the pain and said: "We are indeed sent by General Zhang Yang, and I dare not hide it!" ”

Lu Bu glanced at Wang Cheng and didn't say anything, but Wang Cheng seemed to know what he meant, and said with a smile: "Wen Hou just ask, they have been subdued by a certain person, and they definitely don't dare to lie." ”

Lu Bu was noncommittal, in fact, he didn't want Wang Cheng to misunderstand that he didn't trust him, and he had to ask more about the things he had asked, but it seemed that he also understood what he meant, and only those words could be said with a tacit understanding.

"Judging by their outfits and accents, they are indeed scouts of Zhang Yangjun." At this time, Zhang Liao also leaned into Lu Bu's ear and whispered, and Lu Bu nodded in agreement.

In fact, at this time, in order to distinguish the Zhang Yang army from Lu Bu's army, the original style has changed slightly, but it is not too obvious. It all looks the same earthy yellow on the outside. It's just that Zhang Yangjun is darker in color, just like these four people.

But the matter of external clothing can be disguised, especially since they are still wearing such obvious appearances in Xihe County, it is really difficult to arbitrarily determine their origin on this basis, but the accent is difficult to fake.

Most of Zhang Yang's subordinates are from Shangdang and Taiyuan counties, one side of the water and soil supports the other person, and a place always has its own uniqueness. It is easy for people who are familiar with it to hear the difference, and the accents of these two places are very familiar to both Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, and even the subtle differences can be easily distinguished, so it can be determined that these people are not scouts sent by Zhang Yang, but they are also from these two counties, and it is very likely that they were sent by Zhang Yang.

Think deeper. It should be known that such undisguised clothing is not deliberate, but can only be explained by habit, after all, Pingzhou County is not far from Zhang Yang's sphere of influence, although Zhang Yang only occupies Taiyuan and Shangdang counties, but the boundary between him and Lu Bu's territory is not completely in accordance with the boundary between Taiyuan County and Xihe County, it should be that its boundary is further west, almost including Pingzhou County, and these scouts he sent are naturally nearby choices. It is estimated that it is a spy that has been arranged at the border of Taiyuan County for a long time. If you come directly to do scout work, you won't care so much about these details. Because they've always been dry like this.

This is often the case near the border between the two places, the scouts on both sides are intertwined, and they will not be arrested like this at ordinary times, it can only be said that these four scouts are unlucky today, and they happened to bump into someone like Wang Cheng, and it is predictable that they will be planted in his hands.

Lu Bu wants to go north, he can go without passing through Pingzhou County, but he is going to take a detour here, but the purpose of his trip is not simple, to be precise, there are some birds with one stone, on the one hand, of course, he wants to investigate the situation of the two bordering places of Xihe and Taiyuan, Pingzhou is a stop he has already set, and even plans to stay here for a few days, and on the other hand, if he can take the opportunity to attract publicity, it will be a good thing.

However, I don't know if these scouts were only arranged by Zhang Yang in this vicinity a long time ago, or after Lu Bu came, if it was the former, it would have nothing to do with Lu Bu, if it was the latter, maybe he had already learned the news of Lu Bu's arrival.

Knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, it is obviously very important to figure out the meaning of these scouts, and the most important thing is that Lu Bu can't help but think that Jia Xu is still talking about this Zhang Yang may have also gotten the news that Li Ru deliberately leaked out of Taicang and the arsenal looted by him Lu Bu, which is also a big temptation that is difficult for Zhang Yang to resist.

So he then asked, "When did you enter Xihe County?" ”

The four of them hesitated for a moment, glanced at each other, and Wang Cheng immediately shouted: "You dare to hide something when you get to this point, could it be that what Lao Tzu said just now is farting?" ”

Lu Bu glanced at Wang Cheng and did not speak, the so-called one thing descends one thing, it is good that he is the commander of an army, but at this time, in the hearts of these people, they are much more afraid of Wang Cheng, the person who tortured them, than they are themselves.

Sure enough, under Wang Cheng's threat, the four people's bodies subconsciously trembled for a while, since they can be selected by Zhang Yang as scouts, they must have their own strengths, and ordinary torture may not be able to help them, and I don't know what means Wang Cheng used to torture them like this, there is a feeling of being like a frightened bird, but the words are also obediently said like pouring beans: "I, we and the other four have been investigating around Xihe County, but it is the first time to really enter, because I received a secret order from the general a few days ago, Let me wait until this side ......."

The generals in their mouths are naturally flamboyant.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yang is an old opponent of Lu Bu, in fact, the relationship between the two can be traced back to when they were still under Ding Yuan, when Ding Yuan had three people under Ding Yuan, namely Lu Bu, Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao.

In terms of relationship, Lu Bu has always been close to Zhang Liao, and he does not deal with Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang is also very distant from Lu Bu, after all, he Zhang Yang followed Ding Yuan earlier than Lu Bu, but Ding Yuan attaches great importance to Lu Bu, and this value is not simply reflected in the promotion of his position, after all, it is said that Lu Bu's military position at that time was not yet publicized, one was only the main book in the army, and the other was a captain who could lead an army alone, but because of his military merits and Lu Bu, who was promoted to the main book by Ding Yuan, obviously has broader prospects than Zhang Yang; On the other hand, Lu Bu won the name of a flying general because of his bravery in battle, and his limelight in the Bingzhou army also overshadowed Zhang Yang a lot, which made him inevitably jealous, so he opposed Lu Bu and Zhang Liao everywhere.

For Zhang Yang, Lu Bu naturally looks down on him, if he is not bad at his true ability, but this heart determines a person's development, such a narrow-minded person, even a colleague like Lu Bu can't tolerate it, let alone those subordinates who are better than themselves, if he can't tolerate his subordinates being better than himself, can he expect him to win the world with his own ability?

"Facts" also prove that this Zhang Yang is not a qualified superior, or he can be a local emperor in a corner of peace, but in the troubled times, he lacks the background support like Yuan Shao, and secondly, he does not have the advantage of force like Lu Bu.

However, this Zhang Yang, as a prince, also has a certain amount of strength, and he was able to compete with Lu Bu and Zhang Liao almost in the Bingzhou army, so he will still be cautious about him and will not underestimate the enemy.

However, Lu Bu also knows Zhang Yang, although it is not easy to deal with, his weaknesses are still obvious, and he can be used completely.

Just as Lu Bu was pondering, Jia Xu took over the question: "Are you the only scouts sent by Zhang Yang?" ”

Lu Bu woke up in shock, and couldn't help but look back at Jia Xu in surprise, seeing that this Jia fox was full of seriousness at the moment, as if he was going to ask something important.

The four of them were simply stunned, but they heard Jia Xu repeat again: "Are there only the four of you who are the scouts sent by Zhang Yang?" ”

Lu Bu also thought of something, and hurriedly glanced at Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng suddenly kicked a Zhang Yangjun scout who was closest to him, and scolded and scolded: "If you want to answer, answer quickly, what are you still thinking about hiding?" ”

"Of course, of course it's not ......" These Zhang Yangjun scouts seem to have the potential to be cheap, every time they are either words or deeds, they have to be coerced to be honest and confess, and at this time they also hurriedly said: "The four of us are only the closest, and they are still in the northeast corner, there are two groups of scouts in the southeast and due east directions, and our three batches are only the first round, and there will be two rounds of three groups of scouts at different times to cruise in different directions to investigate......"

Jia Xu finally faced Lu Bu, "Lord ......"

Before he could say anything, Lu Bu understood what he meant, and he smiled: "Wang Cheng, it's up to you next......

Wang Cheng immediately faced Lu Bu solemnly and solemnly said: "Wen Hou can say whatever he wants, my prince Ang has nothing to say!" ”

Lu Bu waved his hand, "What you want to listen to is not these clichés, but your actual actions." ”

As a result, Wang Cheng immediately made a bitter face, and his intentions seemed to be seen by Wen Hou, so he listened to Lu Bu's slow command: "I want you to order all the scouts to sweep within ten miles of the center of Pingzhou now, and you must not let go of any fish that slips through the net!" ”

"Whoa!" (To be continued.) )
