And the state of Shang County, Yuan Jun camp, the commander of the big tent.

A handsome and good-looking man was sitting in a handsome position, frowning, listening to the messenger from Puguan report on the situation.

The so-called fierce tiger of the world, led a large army to approach Puguan, the momentum was huge, the coalition army of Puguan was difficult to resist, and asked Zhang He to immediately cross the river to rescue, kill Lu Bu, take advantage of the situation to enter the hinterland of Guanzhong, and approach the imperial capital Chang'an.

The messenger sweated like rain and told Zhang Yang the information and opinions that Zhang Yang wanted him to bring, and raised his eyes tremblingly to look at Zhang He a few times, but saw that Zhang He was frowning from beginning to end, and he didn't know what he was thinking at all.

"General Zhang, the military situation in Puguan is urgent! If you don't make a move, once Puguan is lost, Hanoi and Shangdang counties will be taken down by Lu Bu, and at that time, Lu Bu will occupy one-third of the land of the state, and it will definitely sit firmly in the land of Guanzhong! ”

The messenger persuaded him bitterly, wanting Zhang He to send troops immediately.

"I can't hide it, the Montenegrin thief Zhang Yan has been ready to move in recent days, and he has invaded some cities in my state several times, causing a lot of complaints, my lord wants to raise troops to completely level Zhang Yan, and ordered me to stay here and not move for the time being, so I must not leave if my lord has not raised troops in Yecheng."

Zhang He glanced at the messenger lightly and retreated from the responsibility.

The messenger was frightened and sweating profusely, and if he failed to complete the mission, he would be punished by Zhang Yang when he returned!

"Dare to ask General Zhang, when will Duke Yuan raise his troops?" The Messenger was terrified.

Zhang He said unhurriedly: "This is a secret of our army, I can't tell you, but I can guarantee it." As long as Puguan holds on for a while. My lord will raise an army. Even if my lord can't afford to fight, I will personally lead a brigade to cross the river to rescue Puguan, what do you think? ”

The messenger smiled bitterly, what about time! How can I report back to my lord if I don't have time?

Zhang He waved his hand a little impatiently, like chasing a fly, "You go back first, since I, Yuan Shao's army, promised you to make a move at a critical moment." It is inevitable that troops will be sent at a critical moment! Don't you believe in the fame of my lord, the fourth and third dukes? ”

The messenger didn't dare to say anything, Zhang He carried Yuan Shao out and pressed him several times, if he continued to entangle, he would only ask for his own hardship.

Singing a promise, the messenger bowed his head bitterly, turned and retreated.

It wasn't until the messenger left for a while that Zhang He showed a smile and touched his chin, "It seems that my ability to scare people is no worse than Yan Liang and Wen Chou, those two guys!" ”

The camp of the Lü Bu army. Backed by a hillside, it is close to a large river. The camp was staggered, orderly, interlocking, 3,000 wolf cavalry and more than 2,000 infantry troops were separated in two places, and during the day, the army slept beautifully, waiting for the decision of tomorrow's publicity.

Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng and others sat in the big tent, chatting about some interesting things and talking about life, which was very comfortable, as if Pu Guan had been captured.

If Zhang Yang and others are determined to fight and refuse to surrender to Lu Bu, with more than 2,000 infantry troops, it is very difficult to conquer the high and strong Puguan of the city, and the wolf riders are all kings on horses, each of them is an elite, if they are allowed to attack the city, they will definitely suffer great losses, for Lu Bu, ten infantry are not worth a wolf horse.

Lu Bu didn't believe that Zhang Yang and the others would open the city and surrender, he made two preparations, and brought in the trapping camp to help in the battle, relying on the advantage of the all-special forces in the trapping camp, it was easy to sneak attack Puguan!

The trap camp set off quickly with simple siege equipment, and the day after tomorrow arrived.

While he was drinking, a pro-army entered.

"Enlighten the lord, Puguan sent someone to meet the lord."

Well, the movement is so fast, since they have sent people over, it means that they can't stand my military might and are going to surrender.

Lu Bu nodded and motioned for the pro-army to bring the messenger in.

The messenger saluted Lü Bu respectfully, and then said that Zhang Yang and the others were ready to surrender, and asked Lü Bu to lead his army into the city, take over the city defenses, and reorganize their army.

When Hou Cheng and Cheng Lian heard this, Zhang Yang and the others were so happy, they were so frightened that they couldn't bear it when they saw their eldest brother!

A hint of suspicion flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes, and Lu Bu was also slightly surprised.

"Let me lead the army into the city and take over the city defenses? Go back and tell Zhang Yang and let him bring the army out, if I go in, I won't have to do it, why bother! Lu Bu was dissatisfied.

The messenger was sweating profusely, holding back the fear in his heart, and it was really uncomfortable to talk to such a bloody, dissatisfied and strong man, and this majesty alone made people unbearable!

"Wen Hou is angry, please let me explain, the two generals, Zhang Yang and Yang Feng, agreed to reorganize outside the city and change the defense, but General Zhang Ji disagreed." The messenger struggled to recall every word Xu Huang had given him.

Lu Bu: "Oh? He motioned for him to continue.

The messenger breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Lu Bu nervously, "General Zhang Ji said that Wen Hou often has no faith, no meaning, and capriciousness, and he is worried. ”

"Joke! How my eldest brother is faithless, unrighteous, capricious! Hou Cheng slapped the table angrily and glared at the messenger angrily, implying that he would kill him if he couldn't come up with a reason.

The messenger was taken aback and said with a wry smile: "This is General Zhang Ji's original words, not what I said, Wen Hou killed two fathers in a row and turned their backs, so General Zhang Ji didn't believe Wen Hou very much, he was worried that Wen Hou would deceive them out of the city, and then catch them all." ”

The messenger breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lu Bu's eyes were full of doubts, and he glanced at Zhang Liao, but saw that Zhang Liao was also thinking about the reliability of the surrender, after all, Zhang Yang's sudden and happy surrender was in great contrast with the appearance of the previous decisive battle.

It made Lu Bu wonder if they had some conspiracy in it.

If it had been the same character as Lu Bu before, he would have cut down the messenger and attacked Puguan a long time ago.

"Okay, you go back and tell Zhang Yang that tomorrow morning, we will enter the city!" After thinking about it for a while, Lu Bu finally showed a smile and smiled at the messenger.

When the messenger heard this, his body was much lighter, and he immediately became refreshed.

"Come on, be kind to the envoys!" Lu Bu said loudly.

The messenger thanked Lu Bu repeatedly, and then was taken down by the pro-army to enjoy food and wine.

Wait until the messenger leaves. Hou Cheng said angrily: "That Zhang Ji." When I was under Dong Zhuo before. I see that he is unhappy, he dares to slander the eldest brother like this today, it is really unforgivable, eldest brother, after we take Puguan, I suggest that we kill him! ”

Zhang Liao was puzzled: "Big brother, I think there is something strange about this matter!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Bu asked.

Zhang Liao said: "There is a big contrast between them before and after. It's weird! ”

Cheng Lian smiled: "What other conspiracy can they have!" It's just that I'm afraid of the big brother's military might! ”

Lu Bu nodded, "I also think it's a little too unexpected, I feel that something is wrong, but I can't remember what is abnormal!" ”

Everyone saw that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao fell into contemplation again, and the originally lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and Hou Cheng, Cheng Lian and others had to drink silently, for fear of disturbing Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's thinking.

Not long after, a pro-army walked in and hugged his fists: "Enlighten the lord, the enemy situation in the distance." Shangjun, which is separated by a river from Puguan, was stationed with 50,000 Yuan Shao's troops. Commanded by General Zhang He. ”

Lu Bu said "um", which can be regarded as a matter of knowledge, and the pro-army retreated.

"Zhang He! Yuan Shao's army, what is he doing here? It's not trying to attack us! Hou Cheng said in surprise.

Cheng Lian sneered: "Didn't you listen to what the military advisor and the eldest brother often say, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, if they don't fall down, they won't have the energy to get involved outside." ”

Zhang Liao also came back to his senses, "Most of them are trying to prevent us, they are worried that after we break the Pu Pass, they will take advantage of the situation to sneak attack and capture the entire territory of Bingzhou." ”

From beginning to end, Lu Bu didn't say a word, just thought silently.

After a long time, everyone felt bored chatting, so they retreated to rest, waiting for Puguan to be taken care of tomorrow.

Lu Bu was thinking about a question, why would I suspect that Zhang Yang and others had a conspiracy? What's the doubt?

After tossing and turning all night, Lu Bu speculated that there was a suspicion, the condition! How can anyone surrender without conditions!

Zhang Yang and others had only one request, that is, to ask Lu Bu to enter the city to change defenses and reorganize the army, but he never mentioned their own requirements.

This is not normal! Even if a person whose strength has been greatly damaged and is about to be destroyed surrenders, he must put forward conditions that are in line with his own interests after surrendering, but Zhang Yang and others did not.

Did they give up? Judging from the current situation, they have a great advantage in terms of troops!

A side that is not weak in strength has not yet shown signs of losing, and will not mention conditions, do they plan to wait until I enter the city to make conditions!

What's more, they also know that I am a capricious person, how can I easily surrender without much thought?

It seems that there are a lot of cats in it!

Just in case, I'll delay my entry into the city by a day, and I'll talk about it when my trap camp comes.

Lu Bu secretly made up his mind.

The sky soon dawned, and Zhang Yang and the others all gathered in the city tower to wait for Lu Bu's whole army to arrive.

The inner city and the outer city were surrounded by countless secret sentinels, and when Lu Bu entered, they were all wiped out.

After waiting for a long time, a pro-army galloped on a fast horse, and shouted to Zhang Yang, Zhang Ji and others who were looking forward to the city tower: "My lord felt the wind and cold last night, and he can't lead the army to accept the surrender of you today, wait for tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Yang and the others to reply, he rode away quickly.

Leaving a stunned crowd in the city tower, Zhang Yang looked at Xu Huang blankly: "Lu Bu, has he seen through our plan?" ”

Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others also looked at Xu Huang, waiting for an answer.

Xu Huang shook his head and said, "If he sees through our strategy, he will definitely behead our envoy and then attack the city with a large army, but he didn't!" ”

Zhang Xiu stood up and asked, "Could he be trying to do it?" ”

"That's right! It's quite possible! Zhang Ji and others felt that what Zhang Xiu said was very reasonable.

Xu Huang's cheeks twitched, "It's possible, but if he waits until tomorrow, will he be able to play new tricks?" Just in case, we should send a person who knows a little about medicine, pretending to be a messenger, to Lu Bu's camp, to visit Lu Bu, to see if he has any wind and cold, if so, everything is fine, if not, we have to be prepared. ”

"What Gongming said is reasonable, come to someone, go to find someone who understands medical skills, remember to be smart." Zhang Yang nodded and shouted. (To be continued......)
